Why did this old man run up the tree and put on his shroud?
I met him last time in Shuijing Village, and today I bumped into him again in the county seat.
Is it possible that he has been following me?
He didn't wait for me to reply to him.
The old knifeman looked towards us.
We are busy hiding in the darkness.
The old knife handler's face was a little flushed, his steps were staggering, he looked worried and had a sad look on his face.
I thought to myself, maybe he came to inform the Xiao family.
Lao Daobaozi murmured to himself, "My child, dad can't visit you again. Our fate ends here. I won't survive if you reveal such a big secret. It's a pity that you won't have a good afterlife."
Chunya frowned and looked at it for a while, then whispered: "Old Dao Baozi is afraid that he will not live long. He is stained with extremely heavy corpse qi. It's not that he is drunk. It's that the corpse qi invades the organs and causes symptoms in the body.
Self-protection, red spots appear on the face.”
"Otherwise, I'll capture him! This old thief Bao Buqi is here to inform the Xiao family."
Bai Tiehu said.
"They are all dead, why are they being captured?"
Lan Fenghuang said.
When he walked away, I quickly looked up the tree.
The old man has disappeared.
"Did you see the old man on the tree just now? Did you still talk to me?"
I lowered my voice and asked.
Bai Tiehu shook his head and said: "I only saw the handle of the old knife coming out. The branches were swaying in the wind. I didn't see anyone, and there was no sound."
I hurriedly looked at Chunya.
She also shook her head.
It seemed that this white-haired old man only let me see him, and only I could hear what he said.
I can't believe that by now, I've already entered the courtyard.
My heart is full of worries.
"It's not surprising at all that something strange happens around here."
"Dongsheng, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. The handle of the old sword has just come out, even if the news is leaked, the Xiao family will not have time to prepare in such a short time. Now is the best time."
Lan Fenghuang said.
I nodded. If we go in another day, the Xiao family will have time to make complete preparations.
"Okay! Tiehu, Sister Chunya, if you hear a long roar, come to help quickly. If you hear two short screams, leave immediately without hesitation."
I said.
I followed Lan Phoenix around the yard.
Climb over a low wall and enter.
Both the black dog and the black cat followed up quickly.
After entering the courtyard, there was a gloomy wind all around.
The air was filled with extremely heavy corpse aura.
I released many Gu gods.
Qingling floats in the front.
Quickly spread around.
"Why is there no one?"
I asked.
Lan Fenghuang said: "There won't be anyone at night. At most, there should be a gatekeeper at the gate."
"It's said to be an ancestral hall, but after all, it's the place where the scorpions live. After dark, only the evil spirits guard it. If there are people, they can be stunned with Gu insects. The evil spirits will be more troublesome."
This reminds me of the Snake Bone Temple.
Walked for a while.
There is no obstacle, it's like entering a deserted place.
I became more and more nervous and my palms were sweaty.
The twelve infant spirits agreed upon, and the hundreds of Gu floating down from the Tuojiang River.
As a result, I didn't encounter any.
Many Gu gods were scattered around and did not conflict with any infant spirits.
What's even more strange is that the door of the temple dedicated to Can Scorpion is actually open.
The light in the ancestral hall was dim, and only a faint light came out.
"Grandma Lan, we are all here, why haven't we seen the baby spirit appear yet? Is it possible that the twelve baby spirits are all asleep?"
I asked with a trembling voice.
I made a gesture and Qingling entered the ancestral hall.
Lan Fenghuang said: "There are some evil ways, and I am also confused. I feel like we have fallen into an urn. However, we have come here, how can we return empty-handed."
"Dongsheng, it is full of poisonous miasma, and there is a coffin. However, there is no infant spirit. You can come in."
Qing Ling's voice came.
We pushed the door open and went in.
The light was dim, and the scented oil lamp gave off a faint light.
The walls are white and the floor is bluestone tiles.
Spotless and clean, suitable for the living environment of Gu insects.
On the high shrine, there is a dark red spiritual tablet with the four words "Crane Scorpion Divine Table" written on it.
It gives people a very strong sense of oppression.
See this scene.
My heart trembled. There were three bags placed on the shrine. The bags had been opened and filled with money and gold.
"Does this mean marrying Can Scorpion? Could it be that when you know someone is coming to steal Can Scorpion, you can put some treasure as a dowry?"
I looked at Blue Phoenix.
Lan Fenghuang said: "If you marry Can Scorpion, you should leave it on the roadside. These treasures should be tribute."
I took a breath of air and used my money to worship the Gu insects. This was the first time I saw them.
There is an ice coffin on the east side.
I walked in and saw that the ice coffin had no lid, and there was a body lying inside in the cold air, with its face covered in frost.
Under the frost, you can still see white feathers growing all over his body.
The fingers are stooped and the fingernails are very long.
Judging from his facial features, his eyebrows and eyes are similar to those of Lao Daobaozi.
I couldn't help but wonder, could he be Lao Daobaozi's son?
Did Lao Daobaozi come to Xiao's house to see his son?
Where did the corpse aura on his body come from?
"This is Dao Yihang, the son of Dao Weidong. I didn't expect that he would send his son here to present it to the Xiao family as a guardian of insect corpses. This old turtle is really obsessed with money."
Lan Fenghuang said.
Guard insect corpses.
They are zombies raised specifically to protect Gu insects.
I felt a tremor in my heart. After my grandmother passed away, the corpse guards from Taohua Cave came to pick up my grandmother's body.
Unexpectedly, I saw the corpse of the insect guard here again today.
However, it can be proved that there are powerful poisonous insects in this temple.
The moment I got close.
The zombie opened his eyes suddenly, his eyeballs were bloodshot and extremely cruel.
Before he could open his mouth to shout, his body began to move.
I took out a Chenzhou Corpse Suppressing Talisman, slapped him on the head hard, and shouted: "Have a good rest, what happens tonight has nothing to do with you. If you don't obey, I will set you on fire."
The moment I touched his forehead, a chill came over me, and I couldn't help but shudder.
His body couldn't move, but his eyes moved around, full of hatred.
I inserted silver needles into his Qi Hu points to stop the flow of corpse Qi.
After a minute, I closed my eyes.
I said, "Grandma Lan, I'm going to get the coffin."
Lan Fenghuang said without any doubt: "Boy, there is no need to fight with me about this matter. Since there are no twelve infant spirits and Gu worms, let me handle it."
She took out a leather bag, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "This is sewn with animal skins, and then soaked in dog blood. As long as the soul bit is covered, the remaining scorpions inside will not be able to escape. We are done today. When we get out,
, and then find a way to deal with the remaining scorpion."
In terms of controlling poison, I am indeed not as good as Lan Phoenix.
I didn't fight with her anymore, I folded my hands together, and she stepped on my hands to get to the shrine.
Her body was filled with the evil aura of the black golden silkworm, and she walked forward slowly.
My heartbeat was racing and my palms were sweating.
Lan Fenghuang was also extremely nervous, and recited the mantra: "The soul of Emperor Chiyou shines on Miaojiang, and the five poisonous holy insects nourish the spirit Gu. Disciple Lan Fenghuang, guard the evil Gu today."
The moment Blue Phoenix touched the residual scorpion's spiritual position.
Her whole body was like being struck by lightning and she fell directly from the shrine.
There was a clang sound.
She fell heavily to the ground.
I hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
Her face instantly turned black, her energy and energy became extremely poor, and black blood flowed from her mouth and nose.
"I feel like I've been stabbed. However, I can't die yet. The Gu insect that can kill my blue phoenix hasn't been born yet. A broken scorpion can't kill me at all. Let me rest for a while and then go get it again."
she said.
I said: "I'll go up. You'd better have a good rest. I'm not good at controlling poison, but I'm better at being able to wield all kinds of poisons and be immune to them."
I tied the snakeskin gloves tightly and picked up the animal skin bag.
"Young man, if you take it like this, you will definitely die."
At this time, a voice came.
I looked back and saw the old man in the shroud standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall: "I was walking around here just now, but I fell behind you. I thought you were delivering the memorial tablet. It turned out that you were stealing the memorial tablet."
"
"Who are you and why are you following me?"
I asked directly.
The old man in the shroud chuckled and said, "Young man, don't be afraid. I'm not following you, but I happened to meet you twice."
Blue Phoenix's pupils shrank and he exclaimed, "You are a centipede. I didn't expect you to come back."
