The old man's suggestion did not conflict with their goals, but Xu Tong still had to think about it.
Gao Zhuo tentatively said: "Old man, you are going to Yin Yang Cave. We can actually cooperate. We are not planning anything, we just go inside..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man's sneer: "Don't talk nonsense. I don't know what you are thinking. Over the years, how many foreigners have wanted to compete for the position of high priest. Don't think that I don't know. Several people have entered the mountain before.
Regarding the disappearance, weren’t they heading towards our family’s holy place?”
"Oh, you mean, besides us, there are others?"
Xu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be surprised.
The old man had a look on his face as if he had already seen through them, and smiled without saying a word.
"We can protect you from entering the mountain, but... the poison on our body..."
Gao Zhuo pointed to his belly.
The old man seemed to be waiting for Gao Zhuo's words. He took out a square box from the satchel behind him. After opening it, he saw a dried toad inside, but the skin of the toad was still stained.
There is a large piece of something that looks like a pearl.
When Gao Zhuo saw this, his face and mouth twitched a few times, and his eyebrows were knitted together: "This is what we eat!"
When I think about it, the texture of this thing is so chewy and juicy, and sweet in the mouth.
When I was eating by myself, I picked out these little pearls to eat. At that time, I thought they were simply delicacies in the world.
Now that I found out that this thing was actually on the back of a toad, I couldn't help but push the door open, stick my head out, lie down at the door and vomit.
The old man pointed at the toad and explained to the two of them proudly: "Although our family has failed, the things passed down by our ancestors are still there. This is the toad. I have raised it since I was a child. I feed it with blood every day.
After thirty years, an egg is laid on the back, and the thing dies."
After saying that, he opened his clothes and exposed his chest.
Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo were surprised to find that the skin on the old man's chest was as wrinkled and sticky as a toad's skin.
"If you eat this egg, our lives are connected. If I die, the contents in your stomach will eat up your internal organs completely, leaving nothing behind."
Gao Zhuo was stunned for a second, and almost rushed forward to fight the old man: "Old man, do you believe it or not that I will make your life worse than death~~Ouch~~Uncle, I was wrong."
The harsh words only lasted a second, and Gao Zhuo immediately rushed to the street.
Obviously, there are many ways to make the old man's life worse than death, but before that, he can also make Gao Zhuo's life worse than death.
The old man squinted his eyes and ignored Gao Zhuo who was lying on the ground, holding his stomach and rolling around. He took out a small pipe and put it to his mouth.
Xu Tong had already rolled the tobacco and stuffed it into the pot. He took out a piece of red-hot charcoal from the iron stove and lit it for the old man.
The tobacco in the pot flickered. The old man took a deep puff and then said to Xu Tong:
"Xiao Xu, I know you are not ordinary people. I am no match for you, sir. I don't care what you ask for. Protect me into the mountains. I will naturally give you the antidote when the matter is completed."
"Yes, ginger is still too old to be spicy. We are scared. I guarantee that you will have no problem entering the mountain. I also hope that you will keep your word."
Xu Tong surrendered obediently, which made the old man very satisfied, but Xu Tong's next words made the old man's expression suddenly change.
He casually threw the charcoal in his hand into the iron stove. The face was flickering under the firelight, and the half-smiling expression made the old man feel a little scared. Xu Tong smiled unhurriedly and said: "If you don't get it by then,
I will go find your granddaughter to get the antidote."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the old man's face gradually stiffened.
The two looked at each other silently for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing at the same time.
We are all smart people, and we can only continue to move forward by restricting each other and cooperating.
The old man didn't move at all, and Gao Zhuo, who was lying on the ground, didn't feel that much pain in his stomach.
Sitting aside with a look of displeasure on his face, he felt extremely depressed. He was already a half-step master, but he was manipulated by an ordinary old man. His mentality was about to explode.
Seeing his depressed expression, Xu Tong sneered and said, "You deserve it. I'll remind you that there are too many things in this world that we don't know."
This was actually said to myself. Although I didn't understand the principles of Gu insects, I could easily figure out Gao Zhuo and Chang Wuju. This shows that even if they are great masters, they are not invincible in reality.
"What about him? Who is this guy??"
Gao Zhuo kicked Chang Wuzhen who was crawling on the ground and asked Xu Tong.
Xu Tong looked at Chang Wuzhen who was lying on the ground with dark circles under his eyes. He couldn't help but said with a bad smile: "That's my brother!"
After saying that, he sat next to the campfire, found a comfortable position, smoked a hookah and took a nap, as if he had no intention of helping this 'brother' up from the ground.
In the end, the old man was really worried that the guy was lying on the ground, suffering from cold symptoms, which would affect their speed into the mountain, so he asked Gao Zhuo to help him up and throw him on the small table beside him to crawl on.
Early the next morning, before dawn, there was a rustle of footsteps in the forest.
Even if it hasn't snowed yet in the mountains and forests in winter, it's already so cold that people can shiver all over.
Xu Tong and the others were fine, but the old man had to tighten his clothes.
"Old man, there's one thing I don't understand. Isn't it said that voodoo can't be passed on to men? Why do you know how to voodoo?"
Xu Tong remembered that in the script world, it was said that voodoo was passed on to women but not to men, and couldn't help but ask the old man.
The old man did not deny this. He held a walking stick in one hand and carefully followed Xu Tong's footsteps while his other hand was supported by Gao Zhuo.
As for Chang Wuju, he carried the red coffin on his back and followed behind with an annoyed look on his face. The reason why he was carrying this heavy and heavy coffin was precisely because of Xu Tong's words: "My brother is born with supernatural powers!
"
So this glorious task naturally fell on Chang Wujue.
Every step Chang Wuzhen took, he never forgot to glare at Xu Tong. If looks could kill, Xu Tong would have been cut into pieces at this moment.
"Hmph, you know a lot, but do you know why it is a female but not a male?"
"I don't know that."
The old man was in a good mood, so he explained it to Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo.
Because the voodoo technique is passed down to women, women will eventually get married, and the voodoo technique will be slowly dispersed from generation to generation. If the voodoo technique is learned by men, it will be passed down from generation to generation, and then the voodoo technique will be used to make
Become bigger and stronger, and even use voodoo to control everyone, just like Gao Zhuo and Chang Wujie who are enslaved at this moment.
The four of them didn't talk much on the way. By noon, they had already climbed two mountains.
The old man felt more and more guilty as he walked. He knew that Xu Tong and the others were not ordinary people.
But after walking so far, even an old hunter like myself felt weak from walking, and these three people couldn't even breathe.
What's more, the one at the back was carrying a coffin filled with sacrifices.
"What kind of monsters are these three guys?"
However, although the old man felt weak, he was still very confident in his own voodoo skills. This was a voodoo technique passed down from ancestors, and even the most powerful person would be controlled.
only……
"boom!"
Just as he was thinking about it, Chang Wugu, who was behind him, suddenly put down the coffin and said with an unhappy look on his face: "I'm not leaving, I'm tired, I want to eat!"
When Xu Tong saw this, he casually took out a sesame seed cake and threw it to him, but Chang Wusu slapped him and flew it away. He glared at Xu Tong with angry eyes that wanted to tear Xu Tong into pieces.
"Sooner or later, I will use this screwdriver to stab you to death with my own hands!"
Chang Wugu didn't know when he took out the screwdriver again, wishing he could use it to poke holes in Xu Tong's body.
Gao Zhuo looked at Xu Tong with a speechless expression, only to find that Xu Tong had an indifferent expression on his face, completely ignoring the unusual and unrestrained threat.
"Okay, let's take a rest. Our speed today is good. At this speed, we can get there tomorrow afternoon."
The old man looked at his words and gestured for everyone to take a rest.
The four of them found a place leeward. Gao Zhuo was responsible for building a temporary hut out of trees, and Xu Tong was responsible for lighting the fire. As for Chang Wuzhen, after putting down the coffin, he rushed into the woods as fast as an ape, like an ape.
Off to find tonight's prey.
As for the old man, he was so tired that he lay down to rest. After a while, he could still hear the old man snoring.
"Tou, is this really your brother??"
Gao Zhuo took advantage of Chang Wuju's absence and asked Xu Tong.
"Yes, we have been good brothers who we have played with since childhood."
Xu Tong lit a bonfire and nodded when he heard this.
Gao Zhuo looked confused: "Then you put a hat on him, or you have a grudge against him for killing his father. Why does this kid want to tear you apart?"
Xu Tong raised his head and looked at the sky, and seemed to think for a moment before explaining: "The murder of his father is not counted. He didn't have time to find a girlfriend. Where did the cuckold come from? Well... Oh, it should be regarded as the murder of his son.
Take revenge."
"Oh, you killed his son, eh?? That's not right, doesn't he have a wife?"
Gao Zhuo wanted to ask again, but Xu Tong suddenly covered his mouth, raised his ears, listened carefully, and looked sideways at the woods not far away.
"Someone, hide!"
As he spoke, he rolled up a piece of dirt and put out the charcoal fire. He picked up the coffin and jumped into the bushes.
Gao Zhuo did not wait for the old man to wake up, put the old man on his shoulders, and hid in the grass after him.
After a while, I saw a group of people walking out of the woods. There were men and women, carrying baskets full of things behind them.
The strange thing is that they also carried a big red coffin.
At this time, Xu Tong noticed that there were several Han Chinese in ordinary clothes behind him. Judging from the way they walked and their energetic appearance, Xu Tong could basically conclude that these people were all extraordinary people with special abilities.
It seems that what the old man said is correct. It seems that they are not the only ones entering the mountain this time.
Xu Tong was thinking in his heart, could it be that they didn't read the almanac when they went out, so how could they encounter such a mess when they went down to Yin Yang Cave.
Leng Buding saw a figure behind him, and his eyes immediately popped out, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Why are these old ladies joining in the fun here??"
