death

Chapter 115
Tian Sihan signaled me to agree to Grandma Wei's invitation. Although I had some concerns in my heart, I nodded in accordance with Tian Sihan's intention.

Nangong Xiong also said beside him: "Prepare more delicious meals, we will be there on time at night."

Grandma Wei smiled at Nangong Yuzhang and said, "Girl, I didn't invite you just now. I only invited that fellow Taoist tonight!"

As she said that, Grandma Wei pointed to me with her finger.

I looked over there, and found that Grandma Wei's nails were very long, and the tips of the nails naturally formed a barb, just like the claws of some animals, or like the claws worn by powerful women in Qing palace dramas. An armor set that shows off your dignity without the labor of effort.

But I can be sure that Grandma Wei's nails are real, not some armor set.

Hearing what Grandma Wei said, Nangong Jie was a little unhappy for a moment, and when she saw that she was about to lose her temper, Tian Sihan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since you treat my friend leniently, then naturally you should also treat Fellow Daoist Nangong. Come on, tell me, right, Grandma Wei!"

When Tian Sihan said the words "Grandma Wei", he deliberately emphasized his tone, and he could tell from the voice that he was showing his majesty to Grandma Wei.

Grandma Wei just said "Oh" and said, "That's all up to Young Master Tian, ​​and I'll wait for you at my bamboo house at night."

After saying this, Grandma Wei turned and left.

After everyone dispersed, Tian Sihan dragged me back to the room in the bamboo building.

He looked at me anxiously and said: "If my master was here, those old guys would not dare to mess around, but now I am the only one in the village. I really can't tell what those old guys will do. Everything is left over from the dark days of this village, and the style of doing things always carries some insidiousness of the dark days, I am really afraid that something will happen to you!"

On my side, I was a little puzzled and asked: "Since you are afraid that something will happen to us, then you still asked me to agree to that grandma Wei's banquet. Isn't this sending us to the fire pit?"

Tian Sihan shook his head and said, "Grandma Wei has a nickname called 'Poisonous Woman', and she is famous in our village for her revenge. If you reject her tonight, she will use it up countless times in the days to come." Can you bear it if you want to retaliate against you?"

Nangong Xiong said beside him: "Why, her strength is just like that, I'm not afraid of her!"

Tian Sihan said: "Fellow Daoist Nangong is strong and naturally he is not afraid of Grandma Wei, but Chen Yu is different. Although he has dragon worm Gu on his body, but the dragon worm Gu has only advanced to black and green today, even if he has dragon breath and dragon breath A perverted supernatural power like Wei, but its power is still not enough, facing Grandma Wei's calculations, I am afraid it still has no power to parry."

I asked curiously, "Why do I feel that the people in this village have such extreme personalities? By the way, what exactly is that dark period you're talking about?"

Tian Sihan said: "Since you have asked this far, I will explain it to you."

"This village is called Qingshui Miao Village. It is the largest and strongest Gu village in western Hunan. Before my master became the Miao King and the Great Witch here by force, this village was like hell. The daughter of the Miao King was the saint chosen by the Great Witch. , has a very strong talent for raising Gu. In order to cultivate the natal Gu of the saint, King Miao asked the people in the village to cultivate Gu worms, but the cultivation of Gu worms is not so fast. The Gu worms cultivated in the entire village can no longer meet the supply demand."

"Later, the big witch came up with an idea for Miao Wang, let the Gu worms of the saintess lay a Gu egg on everyone in the village, and use those people's bodies to cultivate the natal Gu similar to the saintess, and wait for the Gu worms to hatch. After coming out, pull out the Gu worms and feed them to the Saintess' Gu things."

Hearing this, I couldn't help interrupting Tian Sihan and asked: "If you pull out the natal Gu, won't the person who raises the Gu die?"

Tian Sihan nodded and said: "Theoretically, this is the case, but the situation is different when the big witch takes action. Although those people are painful when their natal Gu is pulled out, the big witch will temporarily save their lives with their own witchcraft, and then the big witch will send them out again." People go outside the stockade to catch some strangers and bring them back, and use witchcraft to renew the lives of those strangers to the people in their own stockade."

Hearing this, my scalp can't help but tingle, this village is really "dark"!

Tian Sihan continued: "However, the great wizard used outsiders to renew the lives of the people in the village, and managed to save the lives of the people in the village, but it could not reduce their pain. To hatch the natal Gu eggs of the saint, besides consuming the Gu insects, It will continue to consume your essence, blood, and even essence and soul."

"After hatching, it will be even more troublesome to raise those Gu worms. Ordinary natal Gu and the host body are born together, and they will never do anything to harm the body. This is not the case with the Gu worms that can be hatched from the saint's natal Gu eggs. The natal Gu is the 'Mother Gu', which can control the hatched larvae. In order to let the larvae grow up to be edible as soon as possible, the Mother Gu will control the larvae to eat the meat and drink the blood of the villagers, so In the dark period of the village, except for the cronies of King Miao, everyone else is almost yellow and thin, and some have even become skinny, not exaggerating at all, just a piece of skin wrapped around bones, even terrifying."

"People in the village live in unspeakable fear."

"They also want to resist, but the great wizard and the saint are too powerful, even if all of them join forces, they are not those two opponents."

"Those people in the village who were forced to raise Gu are like walking corpses, and the whole village is lifeless. This is the dark period of Qingshui Miao Village."

"Later, my master came here, killed the saint, used his twelve-winged black butterfly to eat the saint's natal Gu, and then killed the great wizard and King Miao to calm the matter down. Later, I Master also used his many years of experience in raising Gu to replace the natal Gu for the people in the village, and completely wiped out the Gu insects of the saint."

"Later, people in the village recommended my master to be the great witch and Miao king here, but as the villagers slowly recovered, some dignitaries in the original Miao village began to stir up trouble again, making those in the village who had not experienced the dark times Young people are starting to distance themselves from my master's authority and they want to take power."

"And these people are headed by the four old guys we saw today."

"That Grandma Wei is the youngest daughter of the former King Miao, and she is also the only one in this village who still has a Saintess Gu worm on her body."

Nangong Qiang asked curiously: "What is the name of that sinister voodoo? Why did King Miao, the saint, and the great wizard put so much effort into raising that voodoo?"

What Nangong Xiong asked was also something I was curious about, so I also asked: "That's right, that Gu worm must have a lot of background."

Tian Sihan nodded and said: "Indeed, that Gu worm is called 殍树, 殍, which means a person who starves to death, 殍, a 殍pole of tadpoles, this kind of Gu worm is said to be a spirit condensed from the essence of a dead person, and then cultivated into a spirit." The Gu worm formed after the solid body, this kind of worm is born with Gu, it looks like a tadpole when it is white, it will grow hind legs when it is black and blue, it will grow front legs when it is yellow, and its head will grow when it is silver. It becomes a faceless human head, half of the tail fades when it is a golden body, and all tails fade when it is a Gu king, forming a thumb-sized human-shaped Gu, and when it reaches a Gu Immortal, the human-shaped Gu will become the same as the person who raised the Gu."

This Tadpole Gu worm is really weird, the first few advances, it really looks like a tadpole turning into a frog.

Nangong Xizang asked the scorpion what special power it had.

Tian Sihan said: "It is said that if the scorpion reaches the peak strength, it can swallow the sky and destroy the earth, but no one knows what it is, because no one has ever raised a scorpion to maturity."

I was curious and asked Nangong Xizang: "Didn't you read a lot in the upper world? Haven't you heard of Gu worms like Judao?"

Nangong Xiong shook his head and said, "No!"

When she spoke, she was already deep in thought.

Tian Sihan said: "No matter how many books you read, it is impossible to read all the books. Even if you read all the books, it may not be possible to record everything in the book. The world is not just read books. You can know."

Nangong Xiong nodded.

I asked Tian Sihan: "Then how do you know this?"

Tian Sihan said: "Later, my master went to ask Uncle Li for advice. Uncle Li told my master these things, and the master told me."

Tian Sihan's Uncle Li?

Tian Sihan continued: "It's my senior brother Li's master."

Li Guidao's master, isn't that considered the five ghosts? ?
Tian Sihan continued: "If you want to say that the person who knows everything in this world, then I am the only one, Uncle Li."

A person who knows everything about the world?What Tian Sihan said is too exaggerated!

Seeing that I didn't believe it, Tian Sihan continued to say: "Don't believe me, there are only things in this world that my Master Li doesn't want to know, and there is nothing he doesn't know!"

This Tian Sihan is really exaggerating more and more.

Nangong Yanzhang said from the side: "Okay, how did you get involved in the five ghost sages about what we were talking about? By the way, don't you and your master bother about that Grandma Wei raised the scorpion?" ?"

Tian Sihan said: "This is what my master meant. My master said that it was all what my Master Li meant. No one knows why Master Li insisted on keeping a dead pole, and let the youngest daughter of the former King Miao give it to him." on."

Hearing what Tian Sihan said, I suddenly thought of my situation. Everyone said that I was a "scourge", but Xu Gaoren didn't kill me directly to avoid future troubles. Instead, he left me to observe me, and even said It is to train me.

They are playing chess, playing a big game of chess.

It's just that as a chess piece, I can't see anything beyond the chess game, so naturally I don't have the ability to understand the purpose and thoughts of those big shots.

If one day I can jump out of that game, maybe I can spy on the truth.

But those truths are for later. There is only one thing I need to figure out right now, and that is the purpose of Grandma Wei's banquet for us.

She who owns the dead pole Gu worm must have ulterior motives.
