Chapter 166

Legendary creature: Gu.It is a strange thing in the strange stories passed down by word of mouth.

All the most common things in life can become sharp weapons to harm people. Legend has it that a hundred insects are locked in a box, and after a long time, when the box is opened, there is only one alive inside, and that is Gu.

Yue Youran has never believed this story. If it is said that cannibalism can become a gu, then how many people were regarded as "vegetable people" and "two-legged sheep" during the chaos of China, and those Jie people used living people as military rations , and then those Murong Xianbei soldiers ate more than 5 girls in one winter, and each person must have eaten an average of no less than a hundred people. If everyone becomes a human gu, then the earth will be destroyed. As a result, it was not cleaned up by the Northern Wei Emperor Tuo Batao in the end.

I haven't seen anyone who can destroy the earth with a big move. It's not as exciting as the great magician Liu Xiu directly summoning meteorites to smash the army of Wang's new dynasty in the Battle of Kunyang.

It's so powerful that there is no need to shoot "Resident Evil", just watch these magical bugs.

But later, more new varieties appeared. In addition to insects, there were also birds, stones, chess pieces, and a lot of inexplicable things that could become poisons. Even witchcraft was difficult to explain these.

Yue Youran never paid attention to things that lacked theoretical basis. Therefore, no matter what the situation was at home, she had never been worried or afraid of the unbelievable phenomena that she often saw.Only cold reality bothered her.

Compared with haunted toilets and ghosts floating in the house, she doesn't care as long as it doesn't hinder her, but if there is no money to spend, no internet, no express delivery, no good food, then that is a bad thing.

Such an idea is also related to the actual situation at home. My father, a particularly powerful psychic, cannot only be obedient in front of a mortal like my mother. If we say it is because of love, he gives in.My father offended so many demons and ghosts, but none of them dared to come and cause trouble when his father was not at home. Maybe my mother's thunder-like character was more terrifying to them than the thunder tribulation?
In short, Yue Youran felt that these unbelievable events were just a part of his life since he was a child, just like notification text messages with a phone bill of less than ten yuan, or payment notices for utility bills.

Moreover, the ancient Chinese people were not blindly in awe and fear of those things that the gods and gods talked about. Think about the passage in Qian Bao's "Sou Shen Ji" "When Dingbo of the Song Dynasty in Nanyang was young, he met ghosts when he walked at night..." This passage is her She is the most proficient in memorizing it. She is really interested in turning ghosts into sheep and selling them for money. She has also seriously thought about what the ghost-turned sheep tastes like and whether it will happen again. Turning into a ghost, is this kind of behavior considered commercial fraud...

With a lot of random thoughts in his mind, Yue Youran looked down at his arms again.

The black and red things that the old man poured into Yue Youran's hands had become as thick as earthworms, and the flying ant Gu that hadn't been sucked away at this time was also extremely tenacious.Under the back-and-forth battle between the two, Yue Youran suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm, and he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Ye Bo, who had been looking at her, noticed that her cheeks were getting tighter and tighter, her whole face was flushed, and cold sweat oozed out slightly on her forehead, and then rolled down.Her arms were shaking violently, and she was still struggling to hold on, and her eyes gradually became distracted.He stood next to Yue Youran, wanting to do something, but he didn't know what to do. Flying ant poison and black and red things were fighting for territory on her arm, and the old man signaled not to touch her.Ye Bo could only say repeatedly: "I'm here...I'm here...I'm here..." Yue Youran seemed to hear it, but she didn't seem to hear it. Her eyes had long lost focus, and Ye Bo felt that she had lost her mind. , otherwise with her character, she would definitely answer in a very disrespectful manner: "What can you do here?"

Seeing Yue Youran in such pain, Ye Bo felt disgusted at his powerlessness. Although he couldn't understand the language, he still couldn't help running to the old man. The old man didn't know what he was busy with. Mash it, peel some of it, and finally throw it into the pot together. The dark water in the pot has boiled and rolled, bringing out an extremely unpleasant smell.

The old man looked at Ye Bo with an anxious face, then at Yue Youran who was sitting there, and smiled knowingly. He patted Ye Bo's shoulder as if to comfort him, then gave him a large spoon, and pointed pot, making a stirring motion.

Ye Bo struggled to stir the liquid, stirred the pot, looked at the chair, the old man took another iron box and walked towards Yue Youran. At this time, Yue Youran's arm had returned to its original color, and his whole body collapsed. Weak and limp on the chair, his shirt was soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Those black and red thread-like things, like a person who is full, rested lazily on her arm and did not move. If it hadn't been so intense just now, it would have been completely unexpected that these things turned out to be living things.The old man opened the iron box, swept all these strings into the box, then closed the box again and put it away.

He pulled up a chair, sat in front of Yue Youran, raised his right hand, and pressed it between Yue Youran's eyebrows. After a long time, he lowered his eyes, as if he was asleep, but he nodded from time to time, As if chatting with her.

Could it be that the old and the young are using brain waves to communicate?Ye Bo mechanically stirred the pot with a spoon in his hand, looking at Yue Youran anxiously, not knowing what he could do.

I don't know how long it took before the old man stood up slowly, walked over, patted Ye Bo's hand, and signaled that he could stop. At this time, Ye Bo stopped his head, only to realize that it was just a pot of black water, and now it has become a pot of black water. A small half pot of thick black paste exudes a strange smell.The old man took a few spoonfuls and spread it on a white cloth, and when the ointment became warm and no longer hot, he spread it on Yue Youran's arm.

Yue Youran moved slightly, maybe she didn't move. Ye Bo called her name, but she didn't respond. The old man pointed to her ear and shook his hand, indicating that she couldn't hear anything now, so Ye Bo could only hold back. Keep your mouth shut.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yue Youran still didn't wake up. His breathing was very steady, and he was obviously out of danger. Ye Bo, who was slightly relieved, suddenly felt hungry in his belly. He thought Yue Youran was the same, so he asked in Yue Youran's ear. "Are you hungry, do you want to eat?" Yue Youran only moved her lips slightly, but she couldn't say anything. Judging from the shape of her mouth, it should be "yes".

In fact, this place is not biased, but there have always been few outsiders here, and the locals only eat at home. Not only are there no hotels and restaurants, there are no small stalls selling cooked food.Ye Bo was a little worried, looking at the distant mountains and forests, is he going to go into the mountains and catch them now?
"Why are you here? Where is Youran?" Looking back, he saw the Lin family brother and sister and Xiao Yu'er standing not far away. Oh, why had they been forgotten? Ye Bo hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: " Have you eaten?"

Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "Why, haven't you eaten your treat?"

"He really wants to treat guests, but there isn't even anyone here to treat guests." Xiao Yu'er played with her index finger in circles on her long hair, making her look even more charming. Lin Fei smiled and said, "Brother Ye, are you also looking for something to eat?" Where is Yue Youran, why doesn't he come out to eat?"

"How's the Gu in her?" Lin Xue was more concerned about this issue.

Ye Bo thought for a while: "It's solved...well, I don't know."

"If you solve it, you solve it. If you don't solve it, you don't know it. What do you mean you don't know?" Lin Xue asked anxiously, looking around, she didn't find Yue Youran nearby: "Where is she?"

Ye Bo pointed to the house.

"An old man relieved her of the Gu, and now she is still in that room."

"She's at Gu Wang's house?" A timid voice sounded behind everyone.Lin Xue looked back and saw a little girl in local dress. She bit her lip, lowered her head slightly, and asked in a weak voice: "Have you ever seen a young man who can speak Chinese? His name is Su Peng."

These two words came to the ears of the four people like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Lin Fei pulled out a smiling face: "Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Namu."

Xiao Yu'er, who didn't know how to face Namu's innocent face, silently backed away slowly, stood far away, and commented: "Tsk, you smile like a human trafficker."

Lin Xue, who followed closely behind, glanced at her: "You just posted it like this, it's really easy for this trafficker to do it."

"This is a world based on faces." Xiao Yu'er rubbed his chin.

Lin Xue shook her head: "You two really deserve each other, one is like a trafficker and the other is like a pervert."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Such shameless people are not common, and there are even fewer women like this. She happened to be standing in front of Lin Xue. What else could Lin Xue do? He couldn't talk to her, so the best option was to stand aside silently.

"We don't know where Su Peng is." Lin Fei smiled harmlessly to humans and animals.

Namu thought for a while: "Oh, then I'll ask her."

"Who is she?"

"It's the Chinese sister who is with you. Brother Su Peng has been with her for a long time...she must know where Brother Su Peng is." Namu said and ran to the room where Yue Youran was.

"No, hurry up and follow." Lin Fei was about to leave, but Ye Bo stepped into Gu King's room faster than him, and saw Namu standing in front of Yue Youran's bed, talking to the old man.Ye Bo asked: "Can you understand what he is saying?" Namu nodded: "When I was very young, Grandpa Gu King came. If others don't understand, I can understand."

"Then can you ask him, when will this Chinese sister get well?" This is Ye Bo's most concerned question now.

Namu muttered a few words with the Gu King, and then said to him: "The poison of the Gu has been removed, but this kind of Gu is very powerful and will cause great harm to the body, so my sister needs to rest for a few days now." .”

What kind of harm would a great harm be?Ye Bo asked anxiously.

Namu asked a few more questions, the Gu king pondered for a while, and then said a few words. Namu translated: "It depends on the physical fitness of this Chinese sister. Gu poison affects everyone differently. I I have seen people who have been poisoned by Gu before, some of them were only weak for a few days, and soon healed, and some people have no feeling in their hands since then, and some people have no feeling in their feet, and they can’t walk for the rest of their lives.”

This kind of answer is like a bolt from the blue in Ye Bo's heart. No one knows what kind of result Yue Youran will have. If even the Gu King can't predict, then who else can know here? The only way now is to wait.
"Hey, where did Brother Su Peng go? Now only she knows, but she can't speak. By the way, Grandpa Gu King can read minds, I asked him to help me ask."

Ye Bo's heart suddenly picked up. Su Peng worked for a drug dealer and was finally buried in the house by the cracked rocks. I'm afraid he can't hide it. Judging from Namu's attitude towards Su Peng, she should be I love this Su Phum deeply.Although Ye Bo felt that Su Peng's death was deserved, Na Mu certainly didn't think so.Seeing that her relationship with the Gu King is unusual, if she knows that Su Peng's death is related to everyone, she is afraid that she will make the Gu King unfavorable to Yue Youran, and even others will not be able to escape her revenge.

Seeing what she said to King Gu, although they didn't know what they said, but seeing King Gu shook his head and didn't go to check Yue Youran's memory, everyone was relieved.Lin Fei smiled brightly: "Namu, what's wrong?"

"Grandpa Gu Wang said that he just asked some questions. Her body is very weak, and she can't investigate for a short time." Namu bit her lip and lowered her head: "But I really want to know where Brother Su Peng is." Yu'er really has nothing to do with this kind of little girl, she always stands far away, Lin Xue smiled softly: "Don't worry, such a big person will know his whereabouts after all. Namu, do you like him very much?"

Namu's face turned red to the ears, and after a long time, she nodded slightly.

"Girls' feelings are always poetry." Xiao Yu'er shook her head, "It's just that this poem is not very good for us. I can't see that Lin Xue still has this ability. Faced with a heartbroken little girl who misses her lover, she can still Make up a story like this."

"Of course, she is my younger sister." Lin Fei looked proud.

"That's right. She was so soft and cute all the way. I had forgotten that she was the only one in Blue Lotus who could carry out tasks alone." So Xiao Yu'er and Lin Fei continued to stand aside and watch how Lin Xue coaxed Xiao Yu. girl.

Yue Youran, who was half lying on the rattan chair, was now conscious. Although she couldn't speak, she could clearly hear those people talking. She communicated with the Gu King before, and the Gu King was shocked by the powerful evil spirit in her body. .If it wasn't for Yue Youran's willingness, even with the power of the Gu King, she wouldn't be able to read her memory.

So Gu King didn't agree to Na Mu's request, and asked her to ask Yue Youran herself after she recovered.

Na Mu left sadly, Yue Youran breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, but the stone in her heart still hasn't let go.There was a voice in her heart: Get out of here quickly, this matter is too troublesome.
