our supernatural life

The moonlight came in through the window, casting a triangular black shadow clearly on the floor, swaying back and forth.Mai's whole body froze.He has nothing on his whole body now, even Zhao Baobao's god master is in his backpack, it is really unbearable every day, and the earth is not working.

The hissing sound of posting messages gradually became louder, and there were shaking triangular heads in every window of the bamboo building, and there were an unknown number of snakes.With the moonlight, Xiaomai could even see the bright diamond-shaped patterns clearly.He couldn't recognize what kind of snake it was, and he didn't bother to study it. Those with triangular heads were basically poisonous snakes, and that was enough for him to know.His body was stiff, and Mai Mai didn't even dare to move.Now he wished that the wind blowing in would be colder. It would be better to blow his body temperature from 37 degrees to [-] degrees, so as not to be detected by the snake's infrared detector.

It's a pity that this wish obviously couldn't come true, the snakes slid in through the window, and soon, a layer of colorful chitin carpet was laid on the floor of the bamboo building.Mai Mai really felt that his blood was getting cold, so instead of feeding the golden silkworm Gu, he fed the snake instead...

The group of snakes stopped half a meter away from the wheat, twisting back and forth on the floor, pushing each other and not moving forward.Mai Mai looked around nervously. Suddenly, he faintly heard a light whistle. Immediately, the snakes squirmed like a boiling water pot, and the hairs on Mai Mai's back stood at attention collectively.But even though the snakes were churning violently, they still kept half a meter away from him. Occasionally, a snake was squeezed ahead by its companions, and immediately turned around and squeezed back...

Mai looked on in surprise.He had vaguely guessed now that the whistle sounded to command the snakes, nine out of ten, it was commanding the snakes to bite him.But why are these snakes moving all over the ground, but they just don't come to bite him?

The whistle was soft and persistent, constantly urging the surrounding snakes. Mai Mai was sweating coldly when the whistle suddenly made an out-of-tune glide and stopped.The surrounding snakes lost their urging, slowly wriggling and receding like a tide.There was the sound of pedaling footsteps on the stairs, the door was pushed open, Qi Ren rushed in, saw Mai Mai at first glance, let out a long breath, and almost fell down: "Grandfather of the Mountain God, bless you, you are still alive!"

When Mai Mai saw that it was him, his tense nerves relaxed a little: "It's you? There were a lot of snakes just now..."

Qi Ren took out a sharp knife with horns, broke the brown rope on Mai Mai's body twice, and dragged him outside: "Hurry up, hurry up, Shengliang knocked Qi Song down, or if he blows a few more times, you will be sucked dry." Go! Let's go, leave the village first! I didn't expect that Uncle Wu was rebelling against the old man this time, and he was in big trouble! There are many Gu masters and pharmacists in the village who listen to him. If the old man can't come back, we can only run, who I can't hold him back either!"

He dragged Maimai down the bamboo building, and saw a young man coming out from behind the big tree. Qi Ren simply said: "Wu Shengliang. He is Uncle Wu's nephew. I just called him to use Gu to inform the old man. Who knew he was killed?" His uncle is down. Qi Song solved it?"

Wu Shengliang wiped the sweat off his face: "He won't wake up for four hours. Let's go to Dudao quickly, and everything will be over if we go late. My uncle is determined to get the Gu King this time. He We will definitely not let the old man come back alive."

When Mai Mai heard Du Dao, the back couldn't help but shiver: "Where are you going?" He really didn't want to enter the Gu Dao again.

Qi Ren smiled wryly: "You think I'm willing to go? But if we meet the old man earlier, our lives can be saved, otherwise... run away, don't talk about it."

Wu Shengliang was carrying a shotgun, Qi Ren was still carrying his big knife, and he stuffed a long knife into Mai Mai, and the three of them ran away, and ran out of the village in the dark.

The sky soon became slightly brighter, and the mist floated in the mountains and forests, which was actually a little pink under the sunshine of the rising sun.Wu Shengliang stopped and took out a pack of medicine: "Morning miasma is up, please avoid it first. Put the medicine in your nose and find a higher place to sit for a while."

The smell of the medicine was pungent, and I sneezed on some wheat.Qi Ren dragged him to an open space, and praised him: "You can run quite well, and most Han people can't run like you."

Wheat was about to pant and sneeze again, but the air was not enough, so she gasped and said, "I, I think of those snakes, I have to run if I don't..."

"Haha——" Qi Ren laughed for a while, then suddenly stopped, "What snake? By the way, you seem to have said that you saw a lot of snakes, where did you see them?"

Mai Mai was puzzled: "Of course it's in the bamboo building, didn't I say that?"

Qi Ren suddenly stopped: "Did you see a lot of snakes in the bamboo building? Did you get bitten? Come on, did you get bitten?"

"No." Mai Mai pushed his groping hands away, "If I was really bitten, would I be able to follow you so far? I would have died of poisoning long ago, right?"

Qi Ren stared at him closely: "That's not right! That guy Qi Song raised Thousand Snake Gu, although he hasn't refined it yet, his snakes are not vegetarians, they all entered the bamboo building, and they didn't bite you? I'm afraid that if you go late, you will feed the snake!"

"But the snakes really didn't bite me. I don't know what happened. Anyway, they squeezed very close to me and stopped."

"Do you have something to repel snakes on you?" Qi Ren jumped on Mai Mai like a big dog to smell it, but was dragged away by Wu Shengliang: "Don't talk nonsense, if there is really a medicine to repel snakes, I would have smelled it a long time ago .”

Qi Ren looked at Mai Mai suspiciously: "Don't you have Gu on your body?"

Wu Sheng gave him a bright look: "So you are not suitable for raising Gu! If this little brother has Gu on his body, my uncle's Gu would have sensed it. Can we just lock him up? And ask Qi Song to get snakes Kill him?"

Qi Ren retorted unconvinced: "There are Gus that he can't see!"

Wu Shengliang sneered: "That's unless it's the Gu King! You wouldn't say that the little brother has a Gu King on him, would you?"

Qi Ren was speechless.Mai Mai wiped off his sweat and asked, "I always hear you talking about Gu King, Gu King, what exactly is Gu King?"

Qi Ren spoke quickly, and said: "The Gu king is the king of thousands of Gu. If you want to survive, you have to rely on the Gu king. No matter what kind of poisonous snake or insect poisonous Gu, if you see the Gu king, you have to back away. The most wonderful thing is that the Gu king is the king of Gu. You can’t see it. No matter how powerful an ordinary Gu insect is, a trained Gu master and pharmacist can see it. Only the Gu king, except for the owner, can never be seen by outsiders. The most ingenious part of the Gu insect is that there is no trace It can be found, so refining a Gu King means reaching the highest level of a Gu Master."

Mai Mai pondered for a while: "But, if you can make any Gu worm stay away, wouldn't the Gu king also leave traces?"

Qi Ren stared blankly at what he said but was speechless, Wu Shengliang laughed: "Little brother speaks sharply. That's right, of course the Gu King is not completely traceless, otherwise it is the same as no? But Then again, is there anything in this world that is completely untraceable? The Gu king is the highest level of Gu insects. It can be integrated with the owner, almost equal to a part of the owner, so there is absolutely no danger of backlash , in fact, that’s the most important thing.”

Mai Mai was a little surprised: "Will all Gu insects eat back at their master?"

Wu Shengliang shrugged: "That's right. Don't you Han people in the city like to keep pets? Low-level Gu worms are like keeping a poisonous snake as a pet. Don't you worry about being bitten by it one day? High-level Gu worms are more powerful. , it is more dangerous, like if you raise a person who kills for you, maybe one day he doesn't want to listen to you, and kills you with his hands back. For example, golden silkworm Gu, which can attract wealth, kill people and expel other Gu insects, But if it brings you money, you have to buy someone to feed it, otherwise, it will eat the owner."

Mai Mai recalled what Qi Song and Shuihuamei had said, and couldn't help but feel a chill running down her back: "Since it's so dangerous, why do you bother raising Gu?"

"This—" Wu Shengliang was stopped by the question, and he said after a few seconds, "I really didn't think about it, but my grandparents raised it for generations, so I have to learn it too."

Qi Ren rolled his eyes: "Isn't this nonsense? If no one raises Gu, who can renew your life? Naturally, it is useful to raise Gu, but some people raise Gu for the purpose of harming others, ruining the Gu master's reputation." Broken."

Mai Mai thought for a while, but she didn't know what kind of Gu worms were raised for the purpose of not harming people, so she could only keep silent.Qi Ren wanted to mutter a few more words, but Mai Mai couldn't understand. He lowered his head and counted the grass beside his feet in boredom. Suddenly he shivered, pointed at Qi Ren's feet and shouted: "Bug! Bug! Hurry up!" Get it off!"

Qi Ren lowered his head and saw that the color of his sneakers seemed to be a layer lighter, because the top was covered with translucent flat bugs.Wu Shengliang looked down, his face changed abruptly: "Chigger Gu!"

Mai Mai conveniently pulled a branch to help Qi Ren beat the bugs, but was caught by Wu Shengliang.Wu Shengliang's face was pale: "Don't touch him. Don't disturb Chime Gu, Qi Ren is fine for now, as long as you disturb him..."

Mai Mai thought of the purple spots swimming on the fleshy face in the Gu Dao, and felt a chill on her back: "If, if it was earlier, maybe the bugs haven't..."

Qi Ren looked down at his shoes, and slowly lifted up the wide trousers, only to see dark spots starting to appear sparsely on his bronze calf: "It's late..."

Mai Mai said with a trembling voice, "Do you have any wounds on your body?" He remembered that it was because of the broken skin that the insects got into the horizontal meat.

Wu Shengliang moved his lips, and said hoarsely, "You know a lot about chiggers, but this is chiggers, which can penetrate into the skin without a wound. It's my second uncle, and he came after him."

Mai Mai looked back subconsciously, Wu Shengliang smiled wryly: "Don't look, he hasn't come here yet. I guess he put this Gu on Qi Ren last night, and he has always done everything well."

Qi Ren quickly made a decision: "You go! Go to Gu Dao and bring the old man back!"

Wu Shengliang smiled wryly again: "Didn't you think you were my second uncle? I bet, before we have to walk ten steps, all these bugs will get into your body. Unless the two of us have the ability to watch you be gnawed into bones Shelf, otherwise I can only wait here..."

Qi Ren's eyes were red with anxiety: "You two are dead if you wait here!"

Wu Shengliang just shook his head, Mai Mai stood there dumbfounded, and subconsciously took two steps back, wondering if his footsteps had disturbed Chime Gu, those flat bugs immediately stirred up, and Mai Mai stopped his feet in fright.Qi Ren is right, waiting here, the three of them are probably dead, but it is one thing to know that Qi Ren is dead, and another to observe his death within the range of eyes still seeing and ears hearing thing.Uncle Wu is ruthless, and he has a very accurate grasp of people's psychology.Now, even if they knew it was death, they could only wait.

Uncle Wu didn't come too slowly, and he brought a dozen strong men with him.He just glanced at the three of them casually, then waved his hand: "Tie them up and take them back to the village."

Wheat was pushed down to the ground and tied up.In the confusion, he caught a glimpse of Qi Ren's feet, the bugs and dark spots on his skin had all disappeared, and he didn't even know when Second Uncle Wu took the Gu back.

All the people in the village gathered under the old tree.Mai Mai saw a dead body lying on the flat ground at a glance.In fact, it is not very accurate to say that the corpse is, to be precise, it is a skeleton covered with skin.There are no eyeballs in the deep-set eye sockets, and they stare blankly at the sky.Second Uncle Wu pointed at the skeleton, and said flatly: "Sheng Liang, who was familiar with Qi Ren, colluded with this Han man and killed Qi Song. Although you are my nephew, I can no longer favor you. "

Mai Mai was taken aback: "Qi Song—" He clearly remembered that Wu Shengliang said that Qi Song would wake up in four hours, and he clearly did not kill Qi Song.

Wu Shengliang poked his neck: "Second Uncle, I didn't kill Qi Song at all."

Second Uncle Wu lit the chimney and took a puff: "You didn't kill him, how could he be eaten up by my Thousand Snake Gu?"

Mai Mai felt nauseous for a while, and forced herself to suppress it: "How many people are there in this village, why do you say that Wu Shengliang killed them?"

Immediately, someone gave him a punch, which made him bend over.Second Uncle Wu nodded. A man came over with his backpack, turned upside down and shook it, and the contents of the backpack fell to the ground.Second Uncle Wu tapped Zhao Baobao's little god master with his toe: "Everyone, what is this? This is the little ghost raised by the Han people."

The people in the open space were in an uproar, and Second Uncle Wu said coldly, "What are you doing with the ghost you raised in the village? Who do you want to harm?"

Mai Mai just thought it was funny: "You raise Gu, but don't allow Han people to raise ghosts? Besides, I raise ghosts to harm people? Then you raise Gu for the purpose of harming people?" He was only halfway through, and his fists came down one after another. , but he still struggled to say, "If you don't let Wu Shengliang use Gu to send a message back to Mr. Bai, what are you doing? Who do you want to harm?" A heavy punch landed on the lower abdomen, interrupting him. if.

Second Uncle Wu exhaled, and said lightly: "Everyone knows why the old man went to Gu Dao, why did you call him back, why don't you tell me?"

Qi Ren said loudly: "Mai Zi entered the Gu Dao before, and knew that Bai Wan was dead, so the old man was not allowed to enter the Gu Dao again!"

Second Uncle Wu glanced sideways at Mai Mai, and sneered slightly: "He has entered the Gu Dao? Can he come out alive after entering the Gu Dao?"

Mai Mai endured the pain and raised her head: "I did go in! I even entered the stone chamber! It was the way Bai Wan showed me."

Uncle Wu's eyes sunken in wrinkles flashed coldly, and he sneered: "Who doesn't know that no matter how many people enter Dudao, only one can come out alive. So what about Bai Wan? Where is she?"

"I said she was dead."

Second Uncle Wu gave a strange smile: "Yes, if she doesn't die, how can you come out?"

Mai Mai caught the malicious provocation in his words with a little bit of elusiveness: "What do you mean? Bai Wan was hijacked into the Gu Dao by gangsters, and was finally shot to death by a gangster with a gun."

Second Uncle Wu laughed loudly: "Bai Wan is the old man's daughter, how many kinds of Gu insects are there on her body? A few gangsters can kill her?" As soon as he stopped laughing, his eyes were nailed to the wheat like knives. On the body, "You, the Han, killed her with the little devil you raised, right? Who else do you want to kill when you come to the village this time? Why did you call the old man back? Do you want to kill him too?"

Mai Mai thought it was unbelievable, but looking at the people around her, there was an expression of disgust and fear on their faces.He didn't understand the grievances and grievances between Han people and ethnic minorities here for generations, and he didn't know the aversion and fear of raising ghosts here for thousands of years, but Wu Shengliang and Qi Ren knew it. Looking at the little god on the ground, Both faces turned pale.

Second Uncle Wu glanced at them coldly, lowered his head and took another puff of his cigarette, and waved his hands casually. Immediately, two men dragged the wheat up to under the old tree.The crowd dispersed, only to see that a firewood pile had been piled up there.The two men threw the wheat onto the woodpile, and Uncle Wu kicked Zhao Baobao's little god into the woodpile with a kick with his toe: "Ignite him and burn him to death."

Qi Ren opened his voice and shouted: "He is sent by the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain!"

Uncle Wu sneered: "Really? You brought him here. Who can prove that he is from Longhushan? Besides, his surname is not Zhang at all!"

I couldn't explain this matter in a hurry, and Second Uncle Wu certainly didn't intend to let him explain it. He nodded, and a man raised the torch that had already been lit, and walked towards the woodpile.Seeing that he had come to the front of the fire, he raised the torch and was about to throw it on the dry wood pile, when suddenly there was a gunshot, and the torch was interrupted from it.All the people turned their heads in surprise, only to see a man standing there, pointing a gun at the man who lit the fire: "Whoever dares to touch a hair of him will have trouble with the Zhang family in Longhushan!"
