Chapter 26: The Swarm

"What do you think?" Xu Tong pulled Gao Zhuo towards the old man and asked Gao Zhuo's opinion while walking.

"It's hard to say. These seedlings are not in contact with the outside world. Who knows what's going on."

Gao Zhuo must be said to be a native of Xiangxi, but he is Han after all and has no understanding of the Miao people, especially their habits of growing seedlings.

Therefore, we still don’t know what happened to the divine sacrifice.

That’s not what Xu Tong meant: “Don’t you think it’s too coincidental?

"I just think...isn't it too coincidental? How come we didn't offer sacrifices to the gods early and didn't offer sacrifices to the gods late, but we just happened to catch up?"

"Hey~~It's a bit of a coincidence."

Gao Zhuo scratched his head. Xu Tong didn't say it was okay, but when he did, he thought it was a bit of a coincidence.

It's like everything is squeezed together.

Feng Lailou issued a wanted order, causing a large number of strangers to enter Hunan. Immediately afterwards, a murder case broke out and seven people were found dead on the streets. These strangers did not have time to attack the Gao family, so they had to avoid the limelight temporarily and were invited to participate.

This divine sacrifice.

But Xu Tong and Gao Zhuo also chose to go into the mountains at this juncture, just in time to catch up with everything.

"you mean……"

Gao Zhuo looked at Xu Tong.

"Let's just wait and see. We have no choice now. Look at the old man's calm demeanor. It's clear that he's got us."

Xu Tong didn't say any more and pointed to the old man sitting on the chair.

Other Miao tribe leaders have begun to recruit as many people as possible for themselves, and some even did not hesitate to take out a few more treasures to increase their bargaining chips.

But the old man is as steady as an old dog.

Sitting there drinking tea, he chatted with Chang Wuju next to him about which of the Miao girls was the most beautiful, not caring whether anyone would choose to protect him.

His leisurely appearance was exactly the same as that of the old man in the security room at the school entrance.

After Xu Tong reminded him, Gao Zhuo remembered that the trouble in his stomach had not been solved yet, so he slapped his forehead with one hand: "When you say that, I really think it's a coincidence."

"Go away, you are obviously greedy!"

After the two of them said this, they walked up to the old man. The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Tong, grinning to reveal his black teeth full of wormholes, wishing he could laugh to the back of his head.

Sure enough, when the several Miao tribe chiefs saw Xu Tong walking straight to the old man, they couldn't help showing disappointment on their faces, and their eyes when they looked at the old man were not very friendly.

The old man has no idea what the so-called Grand Master is, and he is not a stranger.

Just knowing one thing is enough. These three are indeed no ordinary people. After playing around, these three in my family are the most attractive.

If I have any regrets, it's that I couldn't let this kid eat my own poison.

“What’s going on with this high priest??”

Xu Tong leaned half on the coffin, looked at the high priest in the distance and asked the old man.

"We believe in witchcraft. Whenever there is a Dharma gathering, we have to ask someone from the sect to preside over it."

The old man explained to them.

Witchcraft, also called Voodoo, is a truly ancient local sect in China.

In terms of inheritance time, it is not even worse than Longhu Mountain, or even longer.

Before Taoism became popular, witchcraft was the mainstream in the world.

There are four levels of staff in the witchcraft religion: shamans, mages, priests and shamans.

Women are witches and men are jin. They are the most common staff in witchcraft and are responsible for some small activities in the village, praying for people, helping people with medical treatment, etc.

Going up to the mages, basically among these seedlings, there are very few people who can truly master Gu and witchcraft.

The old man himself can't be counted, because he is resting on his laurels, and the Gu mother is left over from the family back then. He knows how to use it, but he is still far from truly understanding the voodoo technique.

As for the sacrifices, there are only six, and they rarely appear. Even the mages in the sect don't know what these six priests look like.

One of the six priests is the high priest, who leads the religious affairs. Apart from the most powerful shaman, this high priest is the most powerful person in the religion.

It can be seen that the status of a person who can become a high priest is extremely respected in the witchcraft religion.

It's no wonder that although the old man scorned those Miao clan chiefs, he still maintained respect for the high priest.

"So this is ah."

Xu Tong sat aside and nodded thoughtfully.

But I couldn't help but think of what the Five Ghosts of Xiangxi said before.

All the masters in Feng Lailou were wiped out by people from an unknown organization, forcing Feng Lailou to issue a wanted order.

These thoughts flashed through Xu Tong's mind before he could sort out the details.

A man walked up to the old man.

"What to do?"

The old man raised his head and took a look. Isn't this Mei...Du?

The old man was quite impressed by this name.

"You must have participated in the divine festival too, count me in."

"I don't have any treasure for you."

"There's no shortage, I have plenty at home." Mei Du said, without waiting for the old man's consent, and handed over to Xu Tong and Gao Zhuoyi: "Let's join in the fun, and I'll ask you two to help me later."

Gao Zhuo was startled and looked at Xu Tong unconsciously.

Gao Zhuo carefully looked at the descendant of Meihua Village in front of him, and he was also full of curiosity about Meihua Village.

After all, it is also our own sect.

While being curious, I couldn't help but use my Life Eye Qimen to look at Mei Du's destiny.

What surprised him was that Mei Du had no destiny.

Yes, it is more mysterious than the high priest. It is still covered with mist after all, but this guy simply doesn’t exist. There is nothing above his head and nothing can be seen.

Surprised, Xu Tong stretched out his hand to Mei Du and said: "You're welcome, my brother said these things out of context, but...since it's not you, and it's not the treasure, why bother to swim in this muddy water?"

When Meidu was appraising ginseng and he accidentally said that the ginseng he brewed in his own wine was smaller than this, Xu Tong knew that there was no shortage of treasures in the Meidu family.

Although Xu Tong didn't know what the so-called divine sacrifice was, it must have something to do with the Yin-Yang Cave, which must be very dangerous, otherwise he wouldn't have recruited these strangers as bodyguards with such fanfare.

So he didn't know why Mei Du wanted to join in. Wouldn't it be good to hide outside and watch the fun?

"hey-hey."

Facing Xu Tong's inquiry, Mei Du had no intention of hiding anything. He stepped forward and looked back and forth on Xu Tong.

"Of course I'm here for you, but now it seems that I'm just being sentimental. We're already here anyway, so let's take a look at what senior brother can do. I think it's worthwhile for me to come all the way here."

"Oh, you are quite familiar with it."

Chang Wuzhen sneered on the side, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Mei Du's butt when he said this. Although Mei Du was a man, his buttocks were round and curved. Chang Wuzhen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth after looking at it twice.

Come with a good-natured smile.

While they were talking, they saw the high priest reciting something in strange Miao language. Then he took out a small gourd from his sleeve, opened the stopper of the gourd, and a stream of green liquid poured in along the mouth of the gourd.

to the Blackwater Pool below.

To say the least, Black Water Pool is as big as a football field, and if such a small bottle of liquid is spilled, it will be diluted very quickly.

However, what surprised people was that after the liquid was sprinkled on it, the entire black pool turned into a green pool in just a short time.

Everyone looked at the pool under the cliff involuntarily. Just when everyone was surprised that the liquid in the small gourd was so powerful, many black spots suddenly appeared on the water.

There are more and more black spots, and no one can clearly see what they are.

Only when the black spots gradually began to gather, someone finally exclaimed: "Is it a bug?"

Yes, they were densely packed bugs, each one as big as a grain of rice, emerging from the water in increasing numbers.

These insects seemed to be very interested in the green liquid on the water surface, and soon covered the water surface, greedily sucking up the liquid.

"What kind of bugs are these bugs? Why haven't I seen them before??"

On the way up the mountain, many people have experienced the power of those strange insects in the mountains.

But no one has ever heard of any bugs that usually lurk under the water.

"Wait a minute, look! The water has become clear!"

What is jaw-dropping is that as more and more bugs emerge from the water, the original black pool gradually turns into clear water.

The kind that's crystal clear.

But what makes people's hair stand on end is that when they see the scene under the pool, they can't help but shiver all over. A chill comes from the bottom of their hearts, making them feel uncomfortable all over.

Even when a ray of breeze blew through their collars, they made them shake their clothes like frightened birds.

It was as if he was afraid that some bugs would crawl on his clothes.

The reason for this was precisely because under the water, there were a large number of bones, both human and animal. The most important thing was that they saw a white skeleton among them, wearing modern clothes.

That was the corpse that Xu Tong had kicked off the cliff and fell into the pool. It had been eaten until only a skeleton was left.

Just when people felt horrified, they saw a corpse suddenly dropped from the air. Someone threw the corpse of the person Xu Tong had just killed off the cliff to verify their suspicion.

However, the moment the corpse fell, the insect swarm seemed to notice something, and flew up with a "boom!" and instantly enveloped the corpse and engulfed it.

In the blink of an eye, the body was completely devoured before it even touched the water, leaving only a few bones scattered in the pool...
