death

Chapter 28
Hearing the question that Mai Xiaorou and I asked almost at the same time, Grandpa Mai looked at me, and answered me first: "Can you find a way to cure your poison, you still need to continue to read the following information, but there is not much hope."

Saying that, Grandpa Mai looked at Mai Xiaoju again and said, "Not all Gu Masters are evil people, and it's not surprising that some Gu Masters are called 'sages'. I met many Gu Masters when I traveled to the Miao Village in Western Hunan. , Their Gu is not used to harm people, but to save people, it is called 'medical Gu', maybe the Gu Saint is a medical Gu."

Mai Xiaorou nodded, and Grandpa Mai continued to read.

The Taoist and Dansheng of the Three Saints are two brothers, and the Gu Saint is a woman. After they founded the Three Saints Taoist Temple, they recruited disciples here, but the people who come to learn the Tao are basically cultivators. Gu art and alchemy, few people practice Gu art.

So after some years, the Taoism of the Three Sages, Taoism and Pill are in the state, but Gu Art has gradually disappeared.

At this time, the Gu Saint among the Three Saints suddenly died suddenly.

The Three Saints became the Two Saints, and not long after, a Taoist nun came to the Three Saints Taoist Temple, and she fought with the other two Saints, one against two, and even a tie.

The Taoist nun was heroic and heroic, and immediately won the love of Taoist and Dansheng. From then on, that Taoist nun became the new third saint of the Three Saints, Fu Sheng.

Among the three sages, the Gu sage was replaced by someone?
Hearing this, Mai Xiaorou and I glanced at each other.

Grandpa Mai didn't continue to talk, I asked Grandpa Mai why he didn't read it anymore, and he said: "There are so many valuable clues, the following information is the size of the original Taoist temple, how many disciples, etc. , has no practical effect."

I took the phone and looked at it. Sure enough, as Grandpa Mai said, the other information seemed to be sent to me by Zhang Rui to recharge.

I asked Grandpa Mai what to do next.

Grandpa Mai thought for a while and said: "You are poisoned by a Gu poison, it is very likely that it was left by the Gu saint who created this temple, but why did the Gu poison suddenly appear today? This is indeed a difficult problem. Find more clues, and then carefully scrutinize them."

After thinking about it for a while, I told Grandpa Mai about the three "sounds" hidden in the laughter I just heard, and then asked Grandpa Mai, would there be three dirty things here? The Three Saints.

Then I shook my head and said to myself: "No, adding the Taoist nun later, that's the Four Sages. It shouldn't be three, it should be four."

Mai Xiaorou took the phone and looked at it, and then said: "Why don't you have the names of those saints? Call Zhang Rui and ask Zhang Rui. It's impossible for him to find out about these things. If he doesn't tell us, there may be something hidden in the name." What a big secret."

I called Zhang Rui again to ask about it, and soon Zhang Rui said: "I was careless for a while, and I will send you the names of the four saints right now."

Soon a text message came, and the names of the four people were: "Tao Sheng, Li Yunji; Dan Sheng, Li Yunzhen; Gu Sheng, Qu Manyao; Fu Sheng, Tang Yi."

I didn't have much reaction when I saw these four names, but Grandpa Mai couldn't help thinking: "Will Qu Miaomiao, who died in the office, have any connection with Qu Manyao? Fu Sheng Tang Yi, will she? Could it be that master of Taoism, from the Tang family? As far as I know, the Tang family is also good at talisman skills, which is just right for the title of Tang Yi's talisman!"

When Grandpa Mai made such a thought, I couldn't help nodding, and said at the same time: "If this matter has something to do with the Tang family, then the person Zhang Rui wants to investigate but dares to investigate, could it be Tang? family, in other words, is he targeting the Tang family?"

Grandpa Mai nodded and said, it is very possible.

Afterwards, none of us spoke again. Although we had the materials of the Three Noble Ways, we still couldn't think of where to open a gap to solve this matter for a while.

And although the venom on my fingertips hasn't worsened, it hasn't lessened either. It's still itchy. When I can't help itching, I'll go to the ground and scratch it twice, but every time I'm beaten by Mai Xiaorou. Pulling it back, she said, I will only hurt myself if I do that, and even worsen the poison, so let me bear it.

But that extremely itchy feeling was really hard to hold back.

After a while, Mai Xiaorou said: "It's really difficult. Why don't you just call Zhang Rui and ask him to send reinforcements. With our strength, it's really difficult to continue this matter." .”

Grandpa Mai said: "That Zhang Rui is such a smooth person, if he is willing to send someone, after calling him for the first time and telling him that things have changed here, he should have offered to send reinforcements, but why is he late? Delay? He didn’t expect it, definitely not, he didn’t want to, even if he called him, he would find some reason to shirk it!”

Grandpa Mai's analysis made sense, but I still didn't give up, so I called Zhang Rui. When I told the matter, Zhang Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay to send reinforcements, but I don't have enough people here. Urgent need, you have to wait a week later, so, you stay there for a week, I will arrange for you as soon as possible, thank you for your hard work..."

Before Zhang Rui could finish speaking, I hung up the phone directly. Sure enough, as Grandpa Mai expected, if we really stayed here for a week, maybe something would happen.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but said: "Didn't Qu Miaomiao say that that dirty thing came out of the ground under her office? In this way, let's find some tools to dig out the ground, and then dig it down to see what's underneath. What's there, maybe you can find the antidote to my Gu poison!"

I say this because my fingers have become more itchy. Even if I have been adjusting my breath and stabilizing my mind, I still feel that I will faintly lose control and want to scratch things, especially people.

I have a feeling in my heart that those people who were scratched by me may also be poisoned by the poison like me. If this is the case, it is simply too terrifying!

After saying those words, I expressed my worries one by one.

Mai Xiaorou was also afraid that I would really lose control, and that the poison would erode my consciousness, and my life would be in danger, so she said, "Grandpa, we can't sit and wait for death like this, if something really powerful comes out, it's a big deal to fight it desperately, it's always so exhausting, Chen Yuzhen I'm going to die!"

Grandpa Mai nodded and asked me to find tools.

Mai Xiaorou and I searched around the school, and found a pickaxe behind the school cafeteria. I hope it can come in handy.

When I got to the office, I moved the bed away, and I started to knock on the concrete floor. After knocking a few times, I found that the ground was not thick, but only a thin layer of cement, and the ground was compacted underneath. As long as the cement is broken, the land below will be much easier to talk about.

After a while, I dug down more than half a foot deep.

At this moment, Mai Xiaorou suddenly exclaimed: "Chen Yu, come back!"

I asked what was wrong, but Mai Xiaorou didn't explain, rushed to me, took my hand and ran out of the office, Grandpa Mai also ran out with us.

After leaving the office, Mai Xiaorou pointed to the half-meter-high wall blocked by the bed just now and said, "Look carefully at that wall!"

I looked in the direction of Mai Xiaorou's finger, and there was a black patch on the wall, full of unknown bugs.

How come there are so many?It wasn't there when we moved the bed just now! ?

I looked along the wall to the root of the wall, and found a very thin cement crack at the root of the wall. Those little black bugs crawled out of that crack, and they are still bubbling out like a spring, in the blink of an eye. In no time, half of the office wall was covered with those black bugs.

Then I used the pickaxe to dig out the place on the concrete floor, and black bugs began to emerge. In more than ten seconds, half of the ground was covered by those black bugs.

I have a bit of trypophobia. Looking at the densely packed insects, I can't help but feel my scalp numb.

Fortunately, Mai Xiaorou dragged me out, otherwise we would be caught in the swarm of insects, and there might be some serious consequences!
Those black bugs didn't crawl out of the office. Although new bugs kept coming out, they just occupied the ground and walls in an orderly manner. They seemed to be controlled by something.

Grandpa Mai said beside him: "These are not ordinary bugs, they are all Gu bugs!"

Gu worm! ?
I couldn't help opening my right hand to look at the three poisoned fingers, and then asked, "Is the poison on my hand related to those bugs?"

Grandpa Mai shook his head and said, "The poison on your body is more powerful."

Even worse, which is the last thing I want to hear.

Grandpa Mai continued: "However, the poison in your hand is similar to the breath of those Gu insects. It should be the same kind of Gu insects, but the ones that bit you are more powerful."

Grandpa Mai has already confirmed that I was bitten, but when I touched the bed board, I really didn't see any bugs.

Although those bugs didn't crawl out of the office, standing at the door and looking at them made me feel a lot of pressure, especially for people like me who have a bit of dense phobia.

It feels like a person with fear of heights is tied to a lightning rod on the top floor of a building. How desperate and desperate that feeling is.

After standing at the door for a while, I couldn't bear it anymore, turned my head and vomited wildly.

Mai Xiaorou patted me on the back and said, "Chen Yu, you have to learn to overcome these situations in the future. You can't only encounter this kind of situation once!"

I said: "I know, I didn't vomit because the worms were too dense. When I adjusted my breath, I felt that the breath from those Gu worms in the room actively drilled into my body and mixed into my breath. The breath is too dark, it conflicts with the original breath on my body, and this conflicting feeling makes me very uncomfortable!"

"vomit……"

Then, I threw up again.

Hearing what I said, Grandpa Mai immediately walked up to me, pinched his fingers and tapped on my body a few times: "From now on, you don't need to adjust your breath anymore, those Gu worms seem to use their own energy to raise their breath. The Gu in your body, it seems that it is not just as simple as being poisoned by the Gu, you have been poisoned by the Gu!"

I asked Grandpa Mai what he meant, and he looked at me and said word by word: "There are bugs in your body too!"
