A roar. Miss Shu was already awake, her body was covered in sweat from the hot light, and the cinnabar runes on her face were melting and disintegrating under the moistening heat of sweat.
At this moment, Tian Liumei picked up the unused cinnabar oil and water, and took the yellow paper to write the talisman and seal. When the last stroke was completed, she took it to the fire cage and lit the paper talisman, and walked to the bed with strange feet at a very fast speed. The side was stuffed into Miss Shu's mouth, and the roaring sound stopped immediately. She kept whimpering and swallowed it together with the talisman.
"Yao Mei'er, bring me the silver needle." Song Siyuan picked up the cloth bag and threw it to Tian Liumei. She untied the bag and picked up the thin silver needle. She stabbed it with her thumb and then released it immediately. , used a bowl of egg whites that had been prepared to catch what was left by the fingers, and did not let go until the black blood turned into fresh blood.
Then, she walked to the fire cage and poured the bowl of egg whites full of blood into the copper basin. After the egg whites were burned by the flames, they kept sizzling and shaking, and countless black ash came out of the cage, like flying insects. The heat steamed into the air and was eventually completely evaporated.
"Miss Shu? Are you hot?" Tian Liumei asked with concern.
"It's hot!" These words made her beam with joy: "It's good as long as it's hot. It's already back to normal when it's hot. Release her quickly." Song Siyuan helped Tian Liumei untie the rope from Miss Shu's body. After the rope was completely retracted, the maid changed her clothes.
"Don't keep the clothes she's wearing even if they're burned. Just scrub them clean. Basically, she won't suffer from evil spirits again in the future." Seeing that the danger was over, Mrs. Hu walked to the bed with concern: "Jia Shu, it’ll be okay if it’s okay, it’ll be okay if it’s okay.”
"My sister's luck has turned into a blessing. Nothing can happen. Since I'm in good health, I haven't finished some things on the mountain, so I'll go back first." Tian Liumei was about to leave, and Mrs. Hu quickly stopped her: "Madam, It’s getting late, I’m afraid it’s already too late to go back now, so why not just stay in the guest room for one night, as it happens, I also have some things about Nushu that I want to ask you for.”
"Then, you're bothering Mrs. Hu." The old servant understood and arranged for Tian Liumei to enter the guest house, which was regarded as keeping the old concubine temporarily. Song Siyuan looked at the stove. The black substance on the cage was clearly from insects. The body, after being burned by the flames, smelled like burnt hair.
As Tian Liumei left the backyard, Song Siyuan walked on the road and asked curiously: "Grandma Tian, what is going on with Miss Shu?" Tian Liumei saw her curiosity and slowly explained: "I told you last time However, Nightmare, to put it bluntly, it means that you were possessed by something. I saw you glance at the cage just now, and you could probably tell what kind of insect it was, right." Song Siyuan nodded and said, "Indeed, Miss Shu is possessed by a poison. ?" The bugs were doing strange things in the body. She thought of the old man Chao, and they probably belonged to some kind of Gu bugs.
Tian Liumei was very interested in mentioning these things. The two of them became more and more familiar with each other and were no longer as unfamiliar as before: "You don't have to be afraid. Xiangdi is close to the southwest, and there are indeed people who use poisonous poisons. However, not all diseases are related to poisonous poisons. Most of the time the poison harms people because the owner has a grudge against the person. If the poison harms people without any reason, once the poison is detoxified, the poison will backfire and make you miserable." She patted her sleeves and said: "There is an old rule in the southwest, it is forbidden to place the poison. Every home must have a person who can cure the poison. This sentence means that in the southwestern region, if you can find someone who can cure the poison, you will probably find a dealer who can cure the poison not far away. This is like a poison within five steps. , we must be able to find an antidote and something to overcome it. Although we humans can’t understand it, God has really arranged it this way, and it has been like this from ancient times to the present.”
"These people who are poisoning people obviously don't have any vengeance but they still use poison. God will not let them play for too long. Generally speaking, they don't poison innocent people easily."
"Then, what is the thing on Miss Shu's body if it's not a voodoo insect?" Song Siyuan did let Peacock mention this statement. The voodoo was originally used for self-defense and should not be used easily. If it hurts innocent people, it will suffer backlash. This Tian Liumei really didn't Fool her.
"Yao Mei'er, have you ever heard of the saying, "Be well and well." Song Siyuan nodded and said, "Isn't this just a greeting? It means that there has been no illness since we parted. It can be regarded as the simplest and most popular concern among the ancients. ." Tian Liumei nodded towards her: "You are right, if you are healthy, you are not sick, if you are sick, you are sick, and what is on Miss Shu's body is scrub typhus."
"Mite?"
"Yes!" Tian Liumei seemed to understand her curiosity and continued to explain: "During the Warring States Period, there was "Yi Zhuan", which was also explained in this book.
The two words "Wu Jing" are said to have originated from ancient times, when the ancients lived in the grass and slept in the open. There was a kind of bug called Chi in the wild, which liked to devour the human heart. Once the Chi eats the heart, it will completely become an unintentional ghost. These Chi worms will also follow people. Conversation enters different bodies, but there is an exception. If someone says the word "well", the chiggers can no longer harm others. "
"When the ancients were walking, they would say hello to each other to avoid being bitten by scrub typhus. Over time, it became a way of saying hello after a long separation." She paused and her tone became mysterious: "Although I have been bitten by scrub typhus, , will not really become an unintentional ghost, but scrub typhus does exist. This scrub typhus will penetrate into the human body in the wild. It can range from fever and body pain and talking nonsense to severe symptoms such as burning the whole body and roaring like a ghost." Song Siyuan Recalling Hu Jiashu's appearance, when she got sick, her lips turned black, as if there were black veins, spreading from the back of her head to her neck. She looked like she was poisoned. She could no longer control her body and kept roaring.
"The most terrifying thing is not scrub typhus, but scrub typhus." Tian Liumei lowered her voice and said: "Scrub typhus is actually a scrub typhus extracted from corpses. It is used by people who died unjustly. Some people will use scrub typhus. Raised on different corpses, as the number of corpses increases, these scrub typhus accumulates more and more corpse poison, and when the resentment can no longer increase, the scrub typhus will become a corpse disease."
"This kind of corpse disease is more terrifying than ordinary chiggers. In addition to acting like crazy, the corpse poison on the body will continue to act in the body, making people look like ghosts, and the resentment of the disease will accumulate. When it reaches its maximum, a person will be completely reduced to a vessel of Chi, and Chi will continue to absorb resentment." After speaking, Tian Liumei sighed: "This kind of scrub typhus is specially used to harm people, and it is not an ordinary scrub typhus from the wild fields at all. Most likely, someone raised the chiggers and deliberately brought them to Miss Shu, which is why she suffered this crime."
"What I just gave Miss Shu was Qinghao Dan, which is a medicinal pill that can clear away bugs in the body. These talismans also contain thunder pill powder that can clear away heat, detoxify and eliminate illnesses."
"Then what is this rope?" Song Siyuan thought that she was really possessed by some ghost.
"This rope is just to prevent her from moving around. The cinnabar on it can sterilize to some extent and can clean the body. As for the yellow talisman paper money, it is just to give people psychological comfort and pretend to be a ghost. What really works is Artemisia annua. And thunder pill powder.”
