Xie Bangui asked: "Where did the things in Hidden Cloud Pavilion go?"

"Burn it!" Chen Cheng sighed: "At that time, the incident of human blood painters making paintings and killing people became more and more intense in Zangyun Pavilion, and finally almost reached an uncontrollable level. There were fewer and fewer Confucian students in the academy, and we suppressed it.

It became more and more difficult... Finally one day, the mountain chief kicked us all out, locked the door inside, lit a fire and burned the whole building to the ground, even himself burned to death inside."

Xie Bangui asked: "Didn't he tell anything before he died?"

Chen Cheng said: "The mountain chief divided us into several groups and asked us to live in seclusion in designated places. He told us to study hard and not to waste our studies. Maybe someone will rebuild Hidden Cloud Pavilion in the future."

"That's right!" Xie Bangui sighed: "It's the Academy Chief who has caused a fatal disaster for you!"

After Xie Bangui finished speaking, he threw a pen to Chen Cheng and said: "Draw the path to me, and you can go."

Chen Cheng lowered his head and drew a map. Fatty Gao came to Xie Bangui and said, "Brother, do you think the book ghost and the human blood painter are the same person?"

"No!" Chen Cheng said without looking back: "I also asked the mountain chief in private about this matter. The mountain chief told me that they are definitely not the same person. The book ghost can only confuse people but not kill. Human blood

But the painter is directly killing people. To say the least, if the book ghost kills people, the mountain chief is sure to suppress him. He will never come up with a strategy of dying together."

The fat man muttered: "You can only confuse people but not kill. How can you be as virtuous as that soul-eating demon?"

"What did you say?" Xie Bangui, who was engrossed in Chen Cheng's drawing, obviously didn't hear clearly what the fat man was mumbling.

The fat man chuckled and said: "It's nothing, you are busy with your business."

Not long after, Chen Cheng handed the map he drew into Xie Bangui's hands. Xie Bangui asked a few more questions before instructing Ming Qingxue to send Chen Cheng and his wife away, but he himself ran to squat next to Chen Cheng's bones.

He came down. After looking up and down for a few times, he took off the hat on Chen Cheng's head.

The back of Chen Cheng's skull was like a lotus flower, split into several petals from the inside out, and a ball of white color protruded from his head. It seemed that the cause of Chen Cheng's death was probably the ball that grew out of his head.

, first crushed the brain, and then pushed open the skull, killing him in a short time. However, how could a spherical foreign object about the same size as Chen Cheng's head appear in the human brain?

Xie Bangui put on the Juehun Claw and peeled off Chen Cheng's skull piece by piece along the cracks in the bones. It wasn't until Xie Bangui opened all of Chen Cheng's skull that he took out a human-head-shaped mushroom from his brain.

When Xie Bangui grabbed the edge of the cap and slowly lifted the mushroom up, he saw that the mushroom's stipe actually penetrated Chen Cheng's entire head, and the palm-sized root was pressing against his facial features. He pulled out the mushroom

What you see are the skeleton’s translucent nostrils and eye sockets.

Xie Bangui held up the mushroom and said to himself: "What on earth is this?"

"Human head mushroom is also the main ingredient in the preparation of 'Forgetting Powder'." Seeing that Xie Bangui didn't understand, Ming Qingxue continued to explain: "'Forgetting Powder' is a very strange medicine, it is colorless, odorless and equally tasteless.

Poison. Its biggest function is to make people lose all perception in a short period of time, and even the will will be suspended. It can recover automatically without an antidote, but after the will is restored, many things will be forgotten, and you will not know what you have lost.

What happened to Will during this time?”

Xie Bangui said: "But how could this thing appear in a person's head?"

"The meaning of the human head mushroom is not that it looks like a human head, but that it must be grown inside a human head. Whether it is a dead person or a living person, as long as the brains are not dried, human head mushrooms can be cultivated. Of course, living people are more suitable for cultivation than dead people, because living people are more suitable for cultivation than dead people.

The human brain is more energetic."

Ming Qingxue took a deep breath, pointed at the mushroom in Xie Bangui's hand and said: "The human head mushroom can be transplanted after it grows. The yellowish color of the one in your hand means it has not grown yet. Wait until it grows into white flesh.

time, it means it has matured. You can also transplant it to any environment to continue growing."

Xie Bangui put down the mushroom in his hand: "It seems that the people in Yinru Village all died suddenly when they inhaled mushroom seeds. It is precisely because of the characteristics of the human head mushroom that they did not know that they were dead."

"That's not right!" Fatty questioned: "Their souls have left their bodies, can't they see the corpses on the ground?"

Ming Qingxue explained: "This starts with another characteristic of the man-head mushroom. The man-head mushroom originally grew in the wild and thrived by preying on mandrills. However, mandrills are extremely spiritual and their souls will not dissipate easily after death.

will linger over corpses

The human head mushroom is extremely fragile and cannot withstand the evil wind brought by the evil mandrill. Therefore, the human head mushroom emits a mist-like substance that blocks the sight of the evil soul, so that the evil soul cannot find the corpse.

Walk."

The fat man patted his forehead and said: "You mean, only humans can see the human-headed mushroom, but ghosts can't see it, right? And when ghosts encounter the human-headed mushroom, they can't even see their own corpses?"

Ming Qingxue nodded and said, "You can understand it this way."

Xie Bangui said: "Is there anything that can restrain forgetfulness or human head mushrooms?"

"I don't know." Ming Qingxue shook her head and said, "In the past, I heard that several great witches had developed an antidote to 'Forget-Self Powder'. I don't know whether it was successful or not. It's actually very simple to guard against human head mushrooms.

As long as you can seal your mouth, nose, and ears, it will be fine. The survival time of human head mushroom seeds is extremely short. If they cannot penetrate into a person's facial features within five breaths, they will wither."

Fatty Gao raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you know so clearly?"

Ming Qingxue rolled her eyes at the other party and said angrily: "The human head mushroom originally grew in western Hunan. It was you Central Plains people who brought him back to the Jianghu. It was also the Central Plains people who prepared the Selfless Powder, but in turn, you blamed the witchcraft.

On top of that, you Central Plains people don’t have a single good thing.”

"Okay...I won't quarrel with you!" Fatty Gao turned to Xie Bangui and said, "Brother, what are you going to do now?"

"Of course it's to enter the Zangyun Pavilion. I won't take the plank road, but the back mountain." Xie Bangui pointed to the map Chen Cheng drew for him and said: "When building in the middle of the mountain, the first thing to consider is fire protection and moisture protection. The Zangyun Pavilion is next to

The water is always cloudy and foggy all year round, and the humidity in the mountain is very heavy. A vent will definitely be built. If I guessed correctly, this vent should be in the back mountain. We will enter through the vent."

The fat man scratched his head and said, "Wouldn't it be faster to go in from that mountain-long study?"

Xie Bangui shook his head and said: "You will definitely encounter the Nine True Dragons when you go to the study. I don't like trouble..."
