Quickly put on my sick hero

Chapter 170 Bloody Epiphyllum

It was late at night, and the entire Luo Mansion was silent, only a few oil lamps were left, emitting a faint yellow light, and the watchmen outside the mansion were silent.

In the courtyard, two black shadows walked briskly towards the ancestral hall.The cool summer wind blows off a person's hat, revealing a face. This person is actually Luo Chentian.

He entered the ancestral hall, turned the white candle on the incense table, and a secret passage appeared in front of him.

Holding a white candle in his hand, Luo Chentian led the way. The man in black behind him turned around and looked around. He didn't see anything unusual, and followed into the secret passage.

The dark passage was narrow and steep, and the little halo around it was all due to the candle in Luo Chentian's hand.

Not long after, Luo Chentian stopped and lit the kerosene lamp on the wall with a candle. This was already a small secret room.

Dim and faint yellow lights illuminate this small world.However, seeing this secretly built darkroom, one can't help revealing the aura and eerieness.

The floor of the dark room was all written with all kinds of strange and weird blood-colored runes, extending all the way to the center.

And at the very center, another small enshrining tablet was built.

A row of small characters is engraved on the tablet, which reads: God bless me forever.

The most weird and unreal thing is that what is enshrined in front of the tablet is not incense, but a white porcelain plate, and the one standing on the porcelain plate is a flower of epiphyllum.

The epiphyllum was enshrined in red liquid all over its body. I don't know if it was because of inhaling the red liquid, the epiphyllum was also dyed a bright red color, but the petals of this flower were a little withered, showing a slump.

Luo Chentian looked at the weird tablet with fanatical eyes, but he bowed reverently.

The man in black behind him took off his veiled cap, and it turned out to be the strange doctor who had diagnosed Luo Jiu's pulse earlier.

He took out a black porcelain bottle from the portable medicine box, and poured a colorful worm into the white plate of Epiphyllum.

As soon as the little bug entered the red liquid, it seemed as if it had entered a vast ocean and was swimming in it comfortably and happily.

It's just that its stomach seems to be much bigger than in the morning, and its movements are a little clumsy.

After playing for a while, it extended its long beak and plunged into the liquid.Immediately afterwards, its bloated stomach slowly shrank and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the originally slightly brown liquid became bright red and full again.

The worm then crawled outside the epiphyllum, opened its mouth and ate the withered petals bit by bit, and the slumped epiphyllum came back to life again.

Luo Chentian looked at it for a long time, with a satisfied look on his face.

Suddenly, the worm was hidden among the petals of the epiphyllum without moving, and there was no movement for a long time, which had never happened before.

Luo Chentian waited a little anxiously, "What's the matter with this Gu worm? Could it be that there is not enough blood? I said to suck more..."

"Enough." A voice that was so hoarse as if his throat was cracked came out of the doctor's mouth, "Wait a minute, it will come out."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, the Gu worm that had been hiding in the depths of the petals slowly flew out, floated to the periphery of the petals, and used its pointed and long beak to peck at the red epiphyllum petals.

Immediately afterwards, red threads emerged from its mouth and were entangled with its beak.

But after a while, a petal fit seamlessly outside the epiphyllum.This Gu worm is actually weaving petals for the epiphyllum!

The Gu worm weaves very quickly, but after a long time, the petals that were originally withered and eaten are filled up again, and compared with the original ones, there is no difference at all.

Seeing this, the worry on Luo Chentian's face faded away.

"Daozhang, why did this Gu worm appear like this just now?"

Luo Chentian really cared too much about this bug, worrying about even the slightest abnormality.

"Maybe it's summer, the weather is too hot, and I'm just sleepy."

Luo Chentian was silent for a while, really unable to continue this topic.He changed the subject.

"This morning, I want to ask the Taoist priest to let the Five-Colored Golden Cicada Gu suck more blood. When Jiu'er marries into the palace, it will not be easy to get her blood again. Why did the Taoist priest stop it?"

Luo Chentian's plain words were extremely terrifying.

Using her daughter's blood to nourish Gu and study this kind of crooked way of evil spirits, why is she still speaking so confidently.

As a father, this way of treating his children is inexplicably chilling, but he still said it indifferently and indifferently, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his way of doing so.

"No hurry." The doctor, who was probably disguised as a Taoist priest, bowed his hands and continued:
"This Golden Cicada Gu has its own schedule, you let it suck so much holy blood at once, it is a great tonic for it."

"For it, drinking some is a tonic, and drinking too much is poison. This blood has a fatal attraction to it. If it is not controlled, it will explode and die from taking too much blood."

After hearing this, Luo Chentian's slightly wrinkled old face suddenly wrinkled his forehead, and muttered, "What should I do?"

"Daoist, if this Gu worm fails to suck enough blood within the specified time, is there a way to delay or remedy this?"

The fake doctor shook his head, and then hooked the corners of his lips: "If the Golden Cicada Gu is not replaced with fresh blood, the blood-colored epiphyllum in the center will slowly wither and fall off. Even if it is replenished later, it will be useless. "

"And your Luo family's luck will slowly dissipate as the epiphyllum withers. What's more, because you have absorbed too many other people's luck before, in return, when the Luo family's luck dissipates, that is Your career in the Luo family has come to an end."

After Luo Chentian heard this, fanaticism appeared on his face, and those turbid eyes widened with all their strength, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, it was very frightening.

He opened his mouth wide, muttering in his mouth: "No, you can't."

Suddenly, he shifted his gaze from the epiphyllum to the fake doctor, rushed over, and clung to his arm tightly:
"Daoist, Daoist. There must be other ways to delay it, right? I saved you back then, and you said you would repay me and the Luo family. You can't count your words."

Hearing this, the fake doctor frowned, obviously not wanting to be reminded of this.Then, he left Luo Chentian who had fallen into a demon, patted his shoulder comfortingly, and said slowly with that hoarse throat:
"Don't be nervous, you just need to make sure that at this time of the month, the Golden Cicada Gu can suck blood, then the things you worry about will never happen..."

The hoarse voice, accompanied by the dim yellow light, looked very strange.But the amazing thing is that after Luo Chentian listened, he miraculously became quiet.

"You're right, as long as Luo Jiu comes back once a month, it will be fine."

Luo Chentian whispered this sentence, and kept repeating it, but his eyes were very empty, as if his soul had been taken away by someone.
