death

Chapter 27 We Are Being Used
Seeing the changes in my fingers, I was stunned.

Mai Xiaorou asked what was wrong with me, so I stretched out my hand to show her, and asked her at the same time: "Have I been poisoned by something?"

Mai Xiaorou immediately grabbed my hand and looked carefully, Grandpa Mai also frowned and came over to take a look.

"Ah, Gu poison!"

Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou spoke at almost the same time, but I was dumbfounded. Although I haven't seen such things as "Gu" with my own eyes, I have heard of them a lot. In books and on TV, those Gu things are more It's amazing.

And those who have been poisoned by Gu, if they are not cured in time, their end will be so ugly.

I asked Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou if they would detoxify Gu poison.

Mai Xiaorou shook her head, then went to see Grandpa Mai, Grandpa Mai was silent for a moment and said: "If you want to detoxify this poison, you have to know what it is. To be honest, I know very little about it. Ah, so I have no way to detoxify this Gu poison."

Is Grandpa Mai helpless too?
Mai Xiaorou immediately begged to Grandpa Mai: "Grandpa, think of a way to save Chen Yu, otherwise wouldn't all the things I did for him be in vain? Also, I will pay Chen Yu back." Why did you see the catastrophe of thunder that day, but not this catastrophe of poison?"

Grandpa Mai comforted Mai Xiaoju and said: "Don't worry, although I don't know how to detoxify Gu, but I know a few friends who raise Gu, we can ask them for help, maybe they have a way to save Chen Yu, or we can go to Xiangxi Miao The village looked for Xu Gaoren. He has lived in Miao Village for many years, but he knows a lot of gu masters. Chen Yu will definitely be saved. As for why he can't see the catastrophe of Gu poison, it's very simple, he can see part of his own numerology , It’s already good luck, it’s impossible to see it in every catastrophe, those are all small secrets.”

Hearing what Grandpa Mai said, Mai Xiaorou stopped asking, but turned to look at me, and asked me if I had been bitten by any insects.

I said, I haven't been bitten by insects, I just touched the scratches on the wooden board a few times.

As soon as I finished speaking, Mai Xiaorou immediately rushed to Qu Miaomiao's office. She got under the bed to study the scratches, and Grandpa Mai and I followed quickly.

After a while, Mai Xiaorou came out from under the bed and said, "I checked it carefully. Although the scratches are strange, there are no traces of Gu and Gu poison. If you really got Gu poison there, it's impossible There's no sign of that."

Just when Mai Xiaorou was talking, the fingertips of my three fingers itched even more. The itching made me unable to bear the urge to scratch things.

I stood at the door of Qu Miaomiao's office, my right hand seemed to be disobedient, and I scratched towards the wooden door. After touching the wooden door, the three poisoned fingers of my right hand scratched immediately.

"Squeak..."

That sharp voice gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Seeing me scratching the wooden door, Mai Xiaorou immediately grabbed my wrist, pulled me aside and said, "Chen Yu, what are you doing?"

I came to my senses and said, "It's just itching. Some people can't control their right hand. They want to scratch things. If they don't scratch things, they feel uncomfortable!"

Mai Xiaorou didn't know what to do, so she turned to look at Grandpa Mai, who was also anxious and couldn't think of a way out.

At this time, my right hand stretched out towards the wooden door again, and Mai Xiaorou pulled it back for me. Her strength was so strong that I couldn't scratch the wooden door at all.

But if I don’t scratch the wooden door, the fingers of my right hand are itchy, and my heart is even more itchy. I want to scratch the wooden door. Since I can’t scratch the wooden door, I want to scratch Mai Xiaorou next to me.

No, no, how can I scratch someone, this damned poison has bewitched my mind!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly adjusted my breath, trying to stabilize my mind.

After some breath adjustment, my mind was finally stabilized.

The psychological suggestion of wanting to scratch people has finally been relieved a lot, but the itching in my right finger cannot be eliminated. Fortunately, the purple-blue color on my fingertips has not spread. If it spreads to my whole body, wouldn't my whole body be strange? Itchy, that feeling is enough to think about!
Seeing that my mind was stable, Mai Xiaorou relaxed her hands a little.

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, a sneer came from Qu Miaomiao's office. The laughter sounded very coherent, but I vaguely felt that the three "ha" characters were not made by one person, and each of them was slightly subtle. difference?

Could it be that there are three dirty things in that office.

Maybe it's the illusion that I've been poisoned by Gu poison. Thinking of this, I didn't say these words out of my mouth.

Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou have long been ready for battle, especially Mai Xiaorou directly blocked me behind, and then gave me a talisman and said: "Put this talisman away, this is a talisman against evil."

I was not polite, so I put away the talisman and placed it close to my body.

Grandpa Mai took out a compass from his backpack, then took out a copper money sword with a red string, and walked into the house.

Mai Xiaorou did not follow, but protected me outside.

Entering the house, Grandpa Mai looked around, and then said sharply: "You beast, come out quickly and be punished, if you wait for the way to do it, you will be destroyed forever!"

Mai Xiaorou murmured softly at this time: "According to what Qu Miaomiao said, something came out of the concrete, and the owner should be an incorporeal body, a ghost, but how could ghosts raise Gu and use Gu poison What? And the scratches under the bed board, ordinary ghosts can’t do it at all, because they don’t have a body, there are too many doubts about this matter!”

I half-understand Mai Xiaorou's analysis, so it's hard for me to interrupt.

As for Grandpa Mai, he walked around the room and came out again. He shook his head and said, "I don't feel any dirt in the room."

As soon as Grandpa Mai finished speaking, three strange laughs came from the room: "Hahaha!"

The pronunciation of each of the three laughs was subtly different, as if they were laughing at Grandpa Mai.

Grandpa Mai immediately turned his head, and quickly took out two talismans, and pasted them on the door and window of Qu Miaomiao's office respectively.

Grandpa Mai said: "This is the town house talisman I asked for from Xu Gaoren. It shouldn't be a problem to temporarily suppress this dirty thing."

Sure enough, after Grandpa Mai posted the two town house talismans, the office became quiet, and there were no strange voices of provocation or ridicule.

I asked Grandpa Mai what to do next, and he said: "Let's look up the allusions of the Three Sacred Ways first, maybe we can find some clues from them. Things are coming out of the ground again, there must be some kind of connection."

I asked Grandpa Mai how to check.

He said: "Call Zhang Rui, the Supernatural Branch has a wide network of contacts, this small matter, let them handle it, it is estimated that it can be done in a few hours, or even less time."

I didn't talk nonsense, so I took out my mobile phone and called Zhang Rui.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Rui asked me if the case was over. If so, he could go back to the Tang Fu Teahouse in the provincial capital to receive the reward.

I said that the case was not over yet, and then asked him to help me check the materials of the Sansheng Dao Taoist Temple.

Hearing what I said, Zhang Rui was silent for a while and said, "What? Is there any trouble with this matter?"

I briefly told Zhang Rui about the situation here and the fact that I was poisoned.

Zhang Rui immediately said: "I'll send the information on the Three Sacred Ways to your mobile phone right now, you can take a look at it later!"

After Zhang Rui finished speaking, he hung up the phone. I wanted to ask him if he could detoxify me, but he didn't seem to care about it at all, which made me feel a little depressed.

After a while, Zhang Rui sent the information of the Sansheng Dao Temple to my mobile phone, and attached a few old photos, which are the appearance of the Sansheng Dao Temple when it still existed. Compared with now, it is really a sky and an underground ah.

I handed the information to Grandpa Mai to read.

Grandpa Mai was stunned for a moment and said: "Zhang Rui has already checked the information of the Sansheng Dao Temple. Did he already know that there is trouble behind this matter?"

Grandpa Mai didn't read the information, but said this sentence first.

Mai Xiaorou and I didn't say anything, Grandpa Mai said again: "I'm afraid Zhang Rui asked me to investigate this case for another purpose!"

Mai Xiaorou asked curiously, "Could it be that they want to kill us?"

Grandpa Mai shook his head and said: "After what happened with Li Guidao last time, I don't think Zhang Rui will harm us. Because of Li Guidao's relationship, he dare not. He is probably using us to come here to investigate something about him. Don’t dare to check things.”

I asked Grandpa Mai what was the matter.

Grandpa Mai shook his head again and said: "I don't know, but since Zhang Rui didn't dare to investigate this matter, it must involve a certain big Taoist family. Zhang Rui may think that we have a close relationship with Li Guidao's master. I feel that the big family of Daomen dare not touch us because of this relationship, so they use us to investigate this matter!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help scolding "hey meow", and then said: "That Zhang Ruike is very sinister!"

Grandpa Mai said: "Although that kid is young, but the city is extremely deep, I am afraid that he has been trained in various Daoist families all year round. When we deal with him in the future, we must be more careful. I bought a lesson."

When he said this, Grandpa Mai was also a little helpless.

The case we took this time was indeed a little too hasty.

But it's useless to regret now, since we are deeply involved in this case, we can only bite the bullet and continue to investigate, because I was also poisoned by Gu.

If this case can be solved, maybe my Gu poison can also be solved.

Grandpa Mai went to read materials on the Taoist Temple of the Three Sacred Ways, and while reading it, he told me and Mai Xiaorou.

This Taoist temple is called the Tao of the Three Sages, but the three saints do not refer to the Taoist Sanqing Patriarch, but the three people who created this Taoist temple. The three of them are called Taoist, Dansheng and Gusheng.

Hearing this, I couldn't help asking: "Is the Gu in me left behind by that Gu Saint?"

Mai Xiaorou was surprised and said: "Gu has always been despised by the Taoists of the Central Plains, how can there be a Gu Saint among the three saints?"
