Mysterious Resurrection: Seize the Artifact

Chapter 331: Strange Gu and Falling Flowers

thump, thump, thump

A strange knock on the door came from outside.

"Miss Xiaorou~ Are you there? I'm Xiaomeng. Xiaomeng came to play with you..."

The immature childish voice jumped into the yard from the high wall outside, Lin Qian stretched out his arms to hug the tricky bride, and let her sit in his arms.

The wind in the yard is a bit cold, which blows away a lot of heat from the food.

The old man drank his wine, looked at Lin Qian, and didn't speak immediately.

The electric lights under the eaves flickered, and the light was a little dim.

"A red umbrella, only the umbrella surface, that's what I'm looking for, it's a supernatural item."

"I don't know if you've seen it."

Lin Qian held down the bride's skirt and looked at the old man. The umbrella was very special and conspicuous.

The blood-colored umbrella has strange abilities. If the old man has never seen this before, it will be very troublesome.

As a living Luohuadong girl, she should have a lot of experience, so there is a high probability that she has seen it.

Red umbrella?
The old man lowered his head and thought, with some doubts in his eyes, but suddenly her pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at Lin Qian.

The voice outside the door was a bit annoying, and the eerie shout became more and more hollow.

The old man looked at the girl's room, as if he had made up his mind, he sighed and said slowly:
"You said that thing, I've seen it, it's in Linhe's corpse cave."

"I believe you should feel that there is something in the river."

The old man stared at Lin Qian and Mrs. Wei, his eyes were a little dazed. She didn't expect Lin Qian to say that he came to look for that thing.

Had she known, she might not have asked.

"Is it in there?" Lin Qian's eyes flickered slightly; "If it's in there, it would be a little troublesome."

He can't enter the corpse cave now, because he has scruples, he can't force his way in, he can only wait for it to appear by itself.

The umbrella surface is very fragile, he is afraid it will be eaten...

Thinking of those weird little bugs, Lin Qian was a little silent. Those things were not eating ghosts, but more like exorcising them.

"If you want to find that thing, you have to take Xiaorou with you. She didn't completely become a Luohuadong girl, partly because of me, and partly because of it. That thing covered Gu God's sight, making Xiaorou Rou cannot be sheltered," the old man continued.

Hearing this, Lin Qian looked at Xiaorou's room, feeling a little puzzled, Gushen?That thing is a god?
Hehe... Don't be ridiculous, it's just a ghost.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you Luohuadong girls?" Lin Qian was very interested in Luohuadong girls. The existence of this kind of taboo is very curious.

The old man in front of her had a lot of secrets about her. From the moment she revealed that she was a living Luohuadong girl, Lin Qian guessed part of the truth.

The birth of the next Luohuadong girl must be based on the death of the previous one.

This kind of thing is normal, it is recorded like this in the classics, and the reason why Xiaorou did not completely become a Luohuadong girl is probably because of this reason.

This is most likely what the old man did when he was young.

The dim light was reflected in the courtyard, and the old man's eyes were slightly cloudy. She was looking at Lin Qian, or maybe she was looking at the tricky bride.

"The girl in Luohua Cave is actually very simple. She was chosen by Gu God to become the mistress of Xiangxi, and then died at the age of 20."

"It's as simple as that. Every most beautiful girl will become a Luohuadong girl, and she will be replaced every 20 years. She has been doomed since she was a child."

"I am so, so is Xiaorou."

The old man let out a long sigh, feeling guilty and distressed about Xiao Rou, her granddaughter.

The old man looked at Lin Qian and continued:

"According to what you say outside, Luohuadong girls are people who have been cursed by a ghost, and there is a ghost in their body."

"This ghost's killing pattern is very strange. It wakes up once every 20 years. After satisfying its killing pattern, it will sleep again for 20 years, and it goes on and on like this, endlessly."

"Every time the ghost wakes up, it is when the Luohua Cave girl dies. The existence of the Luohua Cave girl is to satisfy the ghost's law of killing, so that it will fall into the next deep sleep."

"However, every time she falls into a deep sleep, a new Luohuadong girl will be born..."

"This is the origin and meaning of the existence of the Luohua Cave Girl. As long as the Luohua Cave Girl exists, all the Gu insects in Xiangxi will continue to chase away corpses, that is, to drive out ghosts."

"This is also one of the reasons why there have been no supernatural events in Xiangxi."

"I believe you have seen some of those Gu worms. There are five types in total. They are hidden among the mountains and rivers, and some are hidden very deeply. It is difficult for ordinary people to find them, even if they see them."

Speaking of this, the old man was a little silent. She looked at Lin Qian and sighed and continued:

"When I was young, I met a man from outside the mountains, not from the country, but a folk ghost driver."

"Because of her, I know the truth about Gu God, and because of her, I have the idea of ​​controlling Gu God."

The old man suddenly talked about her experience when she was young. Lin Qian didn't know who she was talking about, but there was no doubt that she put the whole of Xiangxi in danger.

The old man was a little helpless and embarrassed when talking about the past, she looked at Lin Qian for a while, shook her head and said:
"She is not as good as you, nor your wife. Back then, she came here with a wedding dress and said she wanted to use Gu God to accomplish some things."

"I couldn't figure out what was going on until I saw her."

The old man pointed to the bride, or to the wedding dress on the bride.

"Seeing this wedding dress, I probably know what she is for."

Lin Qian looked at the wedding dress on the bride, his eyes thoughtful.

Lin Qian didn't know who the old man was talking about, but he knew what this person wanted to do.

During the period of the Republic of China, a guy wanted to control the cunning bride, so he did not hesitate to create a set of mourning clothes that were exactly the same as the wedding dress, in order to control the cunning bride.

It is said that the old man in the pharmacy said that she had prepared well, but unfortunately she still failed. The Bride is too scary, and she took a big step.

Thinking of this, Lin Qian's pupils shrank slightly, he looked at the old man, thought for a while and said:
"He brought the umbrella?"

The old man did not deny it, just nodded and said:
"It's her. She entered the corpse cave, and the umbrella was not on her when she came out. I asked her at the time, and she said that the umbrella was occupied by something, and she couldn't take it away."

"And that time, she told me that the opportunity to control the Gu God came, and asked me if I wanted to try it."

"When I heard this, I was very happy, because the strength she showed made me look sideways, so... I agreed."

"Then, I failed, I didn't die, but the Gu God disappeared, and Xiaorou became a new Luohua Cave Girl, an incomplete Luohua Cave Girl."

The old man was a little silent when he said this, and her eyes were a little lonely.

The food on the table was already cold, Lin Qian looked at the dish of Hehuayu, and rubbed the bride's wedding dress in his hand.

What the old man said was very concise and clear, and many things were just mentioned in one sentence.

It can be heard from just a few words that the old man trusted her very much when he was young.

Unfortunately……

Lin Qian gently pressed the bride's head, and looked at the old man with a smile:

"The umbrella was occupied by something, which caused the ghost's killing pattern to be deceived, and this is also the reason why you didn't die. Although I don't know what else you did, it doesn't matter anymore."

"There is only one important thing now, I will take back the umbrella, you die, let Xiaorou completely become a Luohuadong girl."

"If I'm right, because of you, Luohua Cave Girl's death date has been brought forward."

Lin Qian pointed to the knocking on the door and the howling dogs:

"From these, it can be seen that the dogs felt it the first day I came here, and I didn't go through formal channels before I came here."

Thinking of the situation when he got off the bus and entered the mountain, Lin Qian was sure that many of the corpses buried in the soil were in the corpse cave.

They were not eaten by the bugs because of the old man and that guy.

Or it can be said that because Luohua Cave Girl was not completely parasitized by the Gu God, most of the Gu insects in Xiangxi fell into silence, or lost some abilities.

For example, the ability to reproduce by eating corpses.

Hearing Lin Qian's words, the old man let out a sigh of relief, nodded and said:
"You're right. Xiaorou's death date has been brought forward. Because of me and her, once the Luohua Cave girl dies this time, there will be no new Luohua Cave girls."

"And at that time, the entire Great South City will face the tide of corpses and Gu worms."

"This is also the reason why I have been worried. I tried to go out and seek help, but I failed. Luohua Cave Girls cannot leave the mountain. This is a taboo."

"I also tried to get the villagers to go out to seek help, but the result was very cruel. Without the promise of Luohua Cave Girl, as long as they walk out of the mountain, there will be an extra corpse in the corpse cave."

"And Xiaorou has no way to promise these things now. After all, she is not a complete Luohuadong girl. Over time, I gave up this idea."

"If you haven't come here, at most one month later, I will try to enter the corpse cave and make Xiaorou completely become a girl in Luohua Cave."

A gust of breeze blew by, Lin Qian pushed his glasses, his eyes thoughtful.

Is this the taboo of Dashan?It's really scary enough.

"The taboos in your mountains are very weird, but I don't care about them. I just want to know how long it will take for the corpse cave to appear." Lin Qian said.

"Three days, according to the current situation, it will appear in three days at most, and within these three days, corpse caves will occasionally appear. If you want to go in at that time, you can."

"But you have to pay attention, the duration of the corpse cave will be very short, and you have to be careful of the Gu insects in the river, they will attack all the ghosts, including the person who controls the ghosts."

"Now the number of Gu worms is limited. Once you kill most of the Gu worms, then Xiaorou will die early, and everything will be early..." The old man stared at Lin Qian with a serious tone.

Hearing this, Lin Qian was thoughtful. He looked at Xiao Rou who was locked in the room, with some hesitation in his eyes.

"Exchange a city for an umbrella? It's not easy." Lin Qian thought to himself.

"If the corpse cave appears completely, will those Gu insects still attack the ghost master?" Lin Qian asked.

"No, at least not before Xiaorou dies. If you enter the corpse cave, you must take Xiaorou with you and protect her so that she will not be killed by the corpse, because only Luohua Cave Girls can find the source, and It’s Gu God.”

"As I said before, because of me, the Gu God is not completely parasitic in Xiaorou's body, it is still in the corpse cave, without Xiaorou's help, it will be very difficult for you to find it," said the old man.

Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, he looked at the old man and thought for a while and said:
"The umbrella is at the source, and to find the source, Xiao Rou must be with her, and Xiao Rou must not die."

Lin Qian let out a long breath, the Gu God is also a ghost, and that thing is probably a ghost Gu.

Gu derived from ghost Gu, they protect Xiangxi and protect Luohuadongnv, because ghost Gu is in Luohuadongnv's body.

This is equivalent to the existence of ghost Gu, the existence of Luohua Cave Girl, and the existence of Luohua Cave Girl, the derived Gu will not get out of control, or it will not disappear.

This is really complicated enough.

The ghost gu parasitizes the girl, making it a Luohua cave girl, and then lets the derived ghost gu protect the Luohua cave girl. This behavior is clearly protecting the sacrifice.

Ghost Gu grows by killing Luohua Cave Girls...a unique law of killing.

And the person who can use the characteristics of ghosts to protect Xiangxi is a genius.

"So complicated……"

Lin Qian muttered, it is really troublesome to have the strength but not to be reckless.

He used to like to use his brain, but since his strength has reached a certain point, he doesn't like to use his brain anymore.

Because that is meaningless, why use your brain when you can push horizontally?
This is the principle that Lin Qian has always followed, but it doesn't work today, he has scruples...

The old man didn't know what to say when he heard Lin Qian complaining about how troublesome he was. She looked at Lin Qian and remained silent.

Lin Qian looked at the bride, thought for a while and said:
"Okay, I'll wait for three days, but I'll try to enter the corpse cave while I'm waiting. If I think I can go in then, I'll take Xiaorou with me."

"Okay, but let me know when you're going in, so I can get ready." Hearing Lin Qian's words, the old man was not surprised, but rather normal.

This young man's temper will not wait patiently, as can be seen from his saying that he wants to flatten this place.

Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, nodded and agreed, he knew what the old man was going to prepare, to prepare for his own death.

The previous Luohuadong girl was immortal, and this Luohuadong girl is incomplete.

The reality is so cruel.

The knocking on the door continued, and the voice calling Xiaorou to go out to play continued.

The hustle and bustle in the town gradually quieted down, and the cries of dogs stopped coming and going.

The lights in the yard were flickering slightly, and the dim halo was reflected on the face of the previous Luohuadong girl.

The face covered with vicissitudes was full of wrinkles, she looked at Lin Qian, smiled, and said nothing.

It was only three days, and she would die in even less time. She was very indifferent about it, as if she knew that day would come.

It's just that it's ahead of time now.

Lin Qian also smiled and did not speak. He hugged the bride with a smile in his eyes.

"Unfortunately that guy failed, I underestimated your horror, otherwise I will die a miserable death." Lin Qian whispered in the bride's ear.

The old man watched Lin Qian's actions, his pupils shrank slightly, and he was a little shocked, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything, but got up and packed the food on the table.

Lin Qian didn't pay much attention, and looked up at the sky. The sky in the mountains was much more beautiful than the sky in the city.

The stars are dotted, the Big Dipper is clearly visible, half a bright moon hangs in the sky, and the pale moonlight reflects the whole world.

Lin Qian rubbed the bride's hair, it was smooth and fragrant, he sat up, thought for a while and disappeared in place, and appeared outside the yard.

The knock on the door stopped abruptly, and Lin Qian turned his head to look. It was empty, and there was no one there, nor did any ghost appear.

"It's really weird."

Lin Qian muttered, and then stopped thinking about it. He took the bride's hand and started to wander around Shilin Ancient Town.

"See if you can meet a ghost, if you're lucky." Lin Qian muttered to himself.

The wind is clear and the moon is bright, the ancient town is long and ancient...

In the yard, the knocking on the door continued, and the voice of shouting that gradually became more resentful did not affect the old man.

She looked at the empty yard, her expression moved slightly, she finally shook her head, sighed, and said nothing.

She walked to Xiaorou's house and looked in through the window. After seeing the girl sitting on the bed with her eyes closed and motionless, the old man's eyes were full of reluctance.

"I'm sorry Xiaorou, don't blame grandma, I'm an old bone, I won't live long, you have to live on your own, live well."

The old man murmured, with tears in her eyes, she slowly turned and left Xiao Rou's house.

She didn't actually fail, she just didn't control the Gu God.

She doesn't have this opportunity now, but Xiaorou still has it, she still has it!
The old man's expression became firm, he walked into his room, lit a red candle, and began to sew something.

In Xiaorou's room, the old man didn't notice that shortly after she left, Xiaorou sitting on the bed was full of tears, and the tears dripped and were caught by a small transparent insect.

……

……

At twelve o'clock in the morning, the headquarters, Wang Xiaoming, Cao Yanhua, Shen Liang, and several senior managers of the headquarters were looking at the report in their hands with solemn expressions.

Their expressions were gloomy.

"The support to Otsu City has been dispatched, and the current specific situation has been investigated." Lu Zhiwen looked at everyone in the conference room and said.

"Say." The head of the headquarters took a deep breath and said.

Lu Zhiwen nodded, looked at the crowd and said, "It's because the supernatural bus was fully loaded. When the bus stopped in DJ City, there were 35 ghosts in total, and they all got off."

"In the current situation, Fan Ba, the person in charge of DJ City, has been confirmed dead, and Cao Yang is dead. This is the surveillance footage and satellite footage retrieved from the scene."

patter
The lights in the conference room went out, and a video and several photos appeared on the projection screen in the conference room.

Lu Zhiwen clicked on the video, and a slightly dim picture appeared.

When the people in the conference room saw the content on the screen clearly, everyone was shocked.

Wang Xiaoming's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was some disbelief in his eyes.

"This is!"
