I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 247 Unintentional Harvest
After taking a few more glances at the uncomfortable ginseng fruit, Gu Yao looked away and looked at the two coffins: "Open the coffin and see who is lying inside."

Xukong drew a few talismans and fixed the surroundings. Gu Yao walked to the black coffin, stretched out his hand and pushed it hard, and there was a sound of chirping, the coffin lid flew out and smashed to the side, and six long coffin nails also flew out , was grabbed by Gu Yaokong and held in his palm.

"Ah, I said why is it so laborious, I forgot that there are still coffin nails."

Gu Yao looked at the coffin nails in his hand, all of them were dark and cold, they seemed to be made of gold and iron, and they were heavy. The coffin was a little damaged due to Gu Yao's violent lifting of the lid, but the nails did not leave even a trace .

Turning it around a few times in his hand, he felt a little rough, as if there were some patterns, Gu Yao stopped walking towards the coffin, and carefully looked at these coffin nails.

Squinting his eyes, he couldn't see anything, but his fingers stroked the surface of the coffin nails, but he could feel a clear arc.

"Invisible to the naked eye?"

"Is there still some blindfold?"

After trying a few spells at random, seeing that the coffin nails didn't respond, Gu Yao threw all six nails to Die'er and asked her to report them for safekeeping, while he walked towards the coffin.

Jing Yin was already standing beside the coffin, looking down at the inside of the coffin for a long time, with a serious expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" Gu Yao asked, and when he looked down, he was also stunned.

Inside the coffin, red ants were densely crawling, filling more than half of the coffin. At first glance, trypophobia is about to emerge.

Jing Yin whispered: "Originally, there were no such ants in here."

"what?"

"The one lying here is an old man wearing a shroud, with a ruddy complexion. If it is not lifeless, he looks like a living person sleeping. But after the coffin was opened, these red ants crawled out from the seven orifices. , began to devour the body of the old man, and then continued to split, and no longer increased at this time, it should be... alas."

Shizune sighed.

Gu Yao looked at the red ant: "Master, didn't you try to stop it?"

"This thing eats qi. I tried to take the old man's body out of the air, but these ants swallowed the qi. There are some extraordinarily huge ones inside, which should be the ones that eat qi."

"Is that so?"

Gu Yao murmured, drew out the robbery sword, stabbed into the ant pile, gently picked it up, and an extraordinarily huge quilt was pushed out.

With a flick of Gu Yao's finger, a ball of Qi hit the big ant rolling in the air.

Jing Yin also looked up, and saw that the ant was hit by the qi, and the ant was only hit higher and farther, and at the same time began to shed its shell rapidly. Large ants emerge from their shells.

"The whole body can absorb Qi."

Watching the huge ant land and quickly start to crawl away from here, Gu Yao picked up a stone on the ground, mustered all his strength, and aimed at it.

With a bang, the stone hit right on the ground, and the red ant burst open, overflowing with juice, and a stream of white air rose up, persisted in the air for a few breaths, and then dispersed.

"As long as you don't use Qi and attack with physical objects, you will be no different from ordinary reptiles."

Gu Yao looked at the red ants inside the coffin again: "From this point of view, they won't attack the coffin, and they don't have collective wisdom. They didn't climb up the coffin wall, and there shouldn't be any king ants or queens."

"Swallowing corpses to split and grow, absorbing qi to grow, is really a weird thing."

He stretched out a hand, the silver light covered the palm, and the golden light spell activated, a little silver light fell from the fingertips and fell into the ant colony.

"What are you doing?" Jing Yin was a little nervous, she could feel that Gu Yao's Yin Qi was very powerful, which made her worry about whether these ants would produce any strange changes after absorbing it.

Gu Yao withdrew his hand: "Try it, if something happens, just smash it to death with that stone slab."

The silver light fell into the ants, and immediately boiled.

The ants rolled and gathered frantically, forming a huge ant ball, wrapping the silver light in the middle, and all the ants were desperately clinging to it, and for a while, the white bones lying in the coffin were exposed.

As Jing Yin said, these ants devoured the flesh and blood of the corpse, so what is exposed now is a snow-white bone, the shroud is also intact, and the hair is neat and undisturbed.

"It seems that they are only interested in human flesh and blood, or they are only interested in corpses, or they are only interested in the people lying here."

Gu Yao looked at the huge ant ball, and said to Jingyin: "It's a pity that I don't know the identity of this person. His appearance has been eaten by ants."

Jing Yin looked at these ants, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Tell me, could the guy lying here be the Taoist priest? The purpose of these ants is to prevent people from knowing his identity?"

Gu Yao was dazed for a moment: "What you said is quite possible. At present, these ants are very eager for qi, but they are not aggressive. However, why do they wait until the coffin is opened before they start eating? If they don't want to There are many better ways to let people know his identity."

Jing Yin shrugged: "It's just a guess, look at that coffin, if there are red ants there, you can use your silver qi to protect the corpse."

Gu Yao, who heard the secret version of the Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master who was ruining me, responded, and walked towards the red coffin together.

At some point, the clan elder retreated to the entrance of the valley, standing behind the fence, cautiously.

Gu Yao was not in a hurry to open the coffin this time. After carefully looking around the coffin for a long time, he found that the craftsmanship of the coffin was really first-class, and the seams were tightly stitched. It looked like a block of wood, and he couldn't find where the coffin was nailed.

After exchanging glances with Jingyin, Jingyin stretched out one hand and put it on the red coffin lid, grabbed it with four fingers, inserted it directly into the coffin lid, lifted it hard, put the other hand on the side of the coffin, With a clap, she understood, and she lifted the lid of the coffin.

Gu Yao hurriedly held his breath and looked into the coffin.

"What is this? It's so disgusting!"

After seeing what was inside, Gu Yao couldn't help shouting, Die'er also took a look, then took two steps back without changing his face, and turned to look to the side.

Jing Yin put down the coffin, took a look, frowned, and looked at Gu Yao: "What is this?"

Gu Yao held back his nausea and took a closer look inside the coffin.

Except for the big white-haired maggot that seemed to have floppy limbs, the inside of the red coffin was empty and there was nothing there, only a mess of talismans painted on the walls of the coffin on all sides.

"What is this four-legged maggot? Shitai Jingyin, do you know him?" Gu Yao looked away and looked at Jingyin who was staring at him intently.

This maggot also has a human face, but it is red, as if its skin has been peeled off. Its body is a big maggot with sparse white hair. Some are lying on their stomachs and some are standing up. The links ooze, and there are traces of this half-dried slime all over the coffin.

The silent voice was calm: "Poor Ni has never seen such a disgusting thing."

Hearing what she said, Gu Yao looked down at the red locks at the four corners of the coffin again. If these locks were to lock the coffin, would the coffin leave or would something be stolen?
By the way, since there is mucus, it is still secreted by this thing, which means that this thing was alive before. Is it dead now?
Gu Yao woke up suddenly, because the thing was motionless, and it was too disgusting and ugly, so Gu Yao acquiesced that it was dead, and didn't confirm it. At this moment, he realized that he immediately grabbed a stone and threw it at the thing.

The stone hit its abdomen, and it fell into its body limply. A puddle of yellow-red liquid flowed out from the wound, and the flesh around the wound naturally wriggled.

"Live!"

Seeing the ugly red face, Gu Yao suddenly turned his closed eyes, shouted loudly, and Jing Yin raised his hand to strike an empty palm, slashing down hard.

Before the sharp palm wind swung down, the maggot below had opened its eyes, let out an unpleasant shriek, and revealed its mouth full of small triangular fangs.

Its body twisted unnaturally, made a few small noises out of thin air, and actually shrank into the bottom of the coffin, narrowly avoiding the palm.

Only then did Gu Yao realize that the maggot was already lying there. It turned out that there was a movable secret door under its body, and at this moment it actually got into the soil through the secret door.

He hastily kicked the red coffin into the air, revealing a black hole the size of a fist underneath. This thing can actually melt earth and rocks, and it has escaped from the earth.

"Where are you going?"

Gu Yao hurriedly took out the kettle, poured water into the cave, and borrowed "Three Thousand Essays on the Way of Water" to control the water, turning the water into a long and thin anaconda, chasing along the cave.

"This thing has gone back to the well!"

Sensing the direction of the hole, Gu Yao jumped up and came to the side of the well, and a thunderbolt struck down.

The maggot had already melted from the wall of the well, fell to the bottom of the well at this moment, but did not escape for some reason, this thing was struck by the thunder, and the thing was howling and crying, becoming a half-cooked to death.

Seeing that the thing was not running away again, Gu Yao scattered dozens of lightning bolts behind him, and then used the fixation technique to hold it in place, and then grabbed it with Qi at a distance, and lifted it up.

It was only after this lifting that I realized that on the back of the maggot, there was actually a long tree vine like an umbilical cord, which grew in the soil.

"There's something under this well." Gu Yao speculated, and at the same time, stretched out his hand to call the clan elder who was hiding far away to come over.

"Look, do you recognize this thing?"

The clan elder's face was also tangled together, and his five sense organs were almost connected together, but looking at him like this, he seemed to really know him. Gu Yao encouraged him: "Say what comes to mind, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong."

"Of course I don't know this thing, but the face of this thing" the clan elder shuddered, "I look a bit like Mrs. Wang."

"Master Wang?"

Gu Yao looked at the half-dead thing: "This thing is Mrs. Wang?"

After thinking for a while, he took out the token of Jingyuan and handed it to Jingyin: "Master, take my token and go to the nearby pot and the city to call people, and bring that old master along with you."

Jing Yin nodded, took the token, and disappeared.

An hour later, Jing Yin came back with ten people.

"That Lord Wang ran away, and he brought some gold and silver, but his wife and children didn't bring them." Jing Yin returned the token and said in a low voice.

Gu Yao nodded and looked at the people behind.

They are all wearing Jiuyao clothes, the leader is a rank eight, and the rest are rank nine.

However, it is similar to the specifications of Jing Yesi in Qingshui County, and it may be a bit difficult to deal with this matter.

After identifying his identity, Gu Yao briefly talked about what happened here, and the group of people nodded and said yes. Although there was a smile on their faces, they didn't seem very happy.

Gu Yao also understood that Jing Yuan, who was passing by, discovered such a big thing, which in disguise explained their incompetence. Even if there was an excuse of weak cultivation base, it would be a huge dereliction of duty if they didn't notice it at all.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to say anything: "The governor didn't come?"

"Sit in the department."

"Then you go back and ask him to report to the mansion. This old man is acting in a treacherous way. If the coffin is really the Taoist priest that these people say, at least his cultivation is not weak, especially if he has shot at unborn babies. You should know How serious is this?"

"I know."

"Don't let me know that you are procrastinating, or don't blame Gu for being ruthless."

Gu Yao casually struck down a thunderbolt, creating a huge hole in the earth.

More than [-]% of those who can use the thunder method are disciples of the Dapai, and their backgrounds are not small. At this age, they are five-rank officials. This is not a mountain dragon, but a knife on the head. It's also better.

Gu Yao talked about the happy event again, and asked them to secretly teach them to spread these useless bad habits as much as possible, and then helped to seal those red ants, as if they were about to leave.

"Just go like this? But I didn't understand anything." Jing Yin followed behind him and said after walking out of the valley.

Gu Yao sighed: "If you really want to figure it out, you have to catch Mr. Wang. We don't know the place well, and we have to ask Jing Yesi for help. It doesn't matter how long it will take, so it's better to explain everything clearly. Press it down, we will rest and play here for two days, and wait for the results along the way."

"The main thing is that I still can't figure it out. What is he trying to do with the lives of those unborn babies? And the umbilical cord that connects to the ground. If it's really his father, is it possible that he wants his father to turn death into life and become a demon?" " Jing Yin nodded and muttered a few words.

Gu Yao looked at Die'er and the others, they followed behind silently, without saying anything, probably very boring, thought for a while and said: "Master, let's not talk about this for now, how about going to Huhecheng to have a look? I'll take Die'er and the others are going to have fun and see if there is any delicious food in the local area, you should work harder, how about going to Wang's house to see?"

He took out the token and threw it to Jingyin. Before she could react, he grabbed Die'er's hand, hugged Die'er, and flew away.

Jing Yin was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that Gu Yao had already flown away, he got up and chased after him, a little annoyed: "Why don't you go by yourself!"

"This is to see that you are worried, so you can rest assured, Master."

"The poor nun is even more disturbed to see you abducting the poor nun's good disciple!"

During the chase, I have come to Huhe City.

This is a small town, there are not many pedestrians coming and going, and it looks a little bleak.

Gu Yao and the others chatted and laughed, and found an inn—in fact, it was the only inn with two upper rooms.

On the way Xiaoer took Gu Yao to the guest room, Gu Yao noticed that there were patterns of bird patterns on the wall every few steps, and asked curiously, the Xiaoer immediately showed off proudly:
"This is not an ordinary bird, but our master's Baojiaxian. You leave the inn and walk around the city at will. As long as there is this bird fairy pattern, it is our master's property."

"The guest officer doesn't know, but my master is a century-old family in Huhe City, the Cheng family! The master's fortune is prosperous and the population is prosperous, it is because of the protection of this bird fairy."

"I don't know how many people are envious of our master's family, just like the Zhang family, Li family, Wang family, and the county magistrate. They are all envious."

Gu Yao remembered what Jingyin said, "Could it be that he wants to turn his father into a demon?" She looked at Jingyin with some surprise, and she was also a little surprised.

This is unintentional insertion, it hits everywhere and nowhere.

This Mr. Wang really turned his father into a monster, and he wants to treat him as his family's protector.
