Chapter 331: Strange Gu and Falling Flowers
Boom, boom, boom
A strange knock on the door came from outside.
"Sister Xiaorou~Are you here? I am Xiaomeng. Xiaomeng came to play with you..."
The immature childish voice jumped from the high wall outside into the courtyard. In the meantime, Lin Qian reached out and hugged the strange bride, letting her sit in his arms.
The wind in the yard was a bit cold, blowing away a lot of the heat of the food.
The old man drank wine and looked at Lin Qian, but did not speak immediately.
The electric lights under the eaves chirped, and the lights were a little dim.
"A red umbrella, only the umbrella surface. That's what I'm looking for. It's a supernatural item."
"I don't know if you've seen it before."
Lin Qian held the bride's skirt and looked at the old man. The umbrella cover was very special and conspicuous.
The bloody umbrella has strange abilities. If the old man had never seen it before, he would be in trouble.
As a Luohua Cave girl who is still alive, she should have a lot of experience, so there is a high probability that she has seen it before.
A red umbrella?
The old man lowered his head and thought, with some doubts in his eyes, but suddenly her pupils shrank slightly and she looked at Lin Qian.
The sounds outside the door were a little annoying, and the weird shouts were getting hollower and hollower.
The old man looked at the girl's room, as if he had made up his mind. He sighed and said slowly:
"I have seen that thing you mentioned, just in the forest. "Inside the corpse cave of the river."
"I believe you should have felt that there is something in the river."
The old man stared at Lin Qian and the bride, her eyes were a little dazed, she did not expect it. Lin Qian said to find that thing.
If she had known, she probably wouldn't have asked.
"Is it inside?" Lin Qian's eyes flashed slightly; "If it is inside, it would be a bit troublesome."
He can't enter the corpse cave now, because Due to scruples, he couldn't forcefully invade and could only wait for it to appear on its own.
The umbrella cover was very fragile, and he was afraid that it would be eaten...
Thinking of those weird little bugs, Lin Qian was a little silent. Those things were not eating ghosts, but more like chasing away ghosts. ghost.
"If you want to find that thing, you have to take Xiaorou with you. She didn't completely become the Luohua Cave Girl, partly because of me, and partly because of it. That thing covered the Gu God's sight, making Xiaorou Rou cannot be sheltered," the old man continued.
Hearing this, Lin Qian looked at Xiaorou's room and felt a little confused, Gu God? Is that thing a god?
Haha... stop being funny, it's just a ghost.
"Tell me, what's going on with you Luohua Cave Girl?" Lin Qian was very interested in Luohua Cave Girl. The existence of this taboo made people curious.
The old man in front of him had many secrets. From the moment she revealed that she was the still living Luohua Cave girl, Lin Qian guessed part of the truth.
The birth of the next Luohua Cave Girl must be based on the death of the previous one.
This kind of thing is normal, it is recorded in the classics, and the reason why Xiaorou did not completely become the girl of Luohua Cave is probably because of this reason.
This is most likely what old people did when they were young.
The dim light was reflected in the yard, and the old man's eyes were slightly cloudy. She was looking at Lin Qian, or maybe she was looking at the Cunning Bride.
"The Luohua Cave Girl is actually very simple. She was selected by the Gu God, became the mistress of Xiangxi, and then died at the age of 20."
"It's so simple. Every most beautiful girl will become a Luohua Cave girl. They change every 20 years. It's been destined since childhood."
"I am like this, and Xiaorou is like this too."
The old man let out a long sigh. She felt very guilty and distressed for Xiaorou, her granddaughter.
The old man looked at Lin Qian and continued:
"According to what you say outside, the Luohua Cave girls are people cursed by evil spirits, and there is a evil ghost living in their bodies."
"The killing pattern of this evil ghost is very strange. It wakes up once every 20 years. After satisfying its killing pattern, it will sleep again for 20 years, and the cycle repeats like this, endlessly."
"Every time The awakening of the evil ghost is when the Luohua Cave Girl dies. The existence of the Luohua Cave Girl is to satisfy the murderous law of the evil ghost, so that it will fall into its next slumber. "
“And every time you sleep, a new Luohua Cave Girl will be born...”
“This is the origin and meaning of the Luohua Cave Girl. As long as the Luohua Cave Girl exists, everything in Xiangxi Gu insects will keep chasing away corpses, that is, chasing away ghosts."
"This is also one of the reasons why there have been no supernatural incidents in Xiangxi."
"I believe you have seen some of those Gu insects. There are five kinds in total. They are hidden among the mountains and rivers. Some are hidden very deep. It is difficult for ordinary people to find them, even to see them."
< br>Speaking of this, the old man was a little silent. She looked at Lin Qian and sighed and continued:
“When I was young, I met a person from outside the mountains. She is a member of the country and a folk ghost master. "
"Because of her, I know the truth about the Gu God, and it is also because of her that I came up with the idea of controlling the Gu God."
The old man suddenly talked about her experiences when she was young. Lin Qian didn't know who she was talking about, but there was no doubt that she put the whole of Xiangxi in danger.
The old man was a little helpless and sad when talking about the past. She looked at Lin Qian and shook her head after thinking for a while and said:
"She is not as good as you, and not as good as your wife. When she came here with a wedding dress, She said she wanted to use the Gu God to accomplish something. "
"I couldn't figure out what it was until I saw her."
The old man pointed at the bride, or rather pointed at her. Refers to the wedding dress worn by the bride.
“Seeing this wedding dress, I probably know what she is for.”
Lin Qian looked at the bride's wedding dress with thoughtful eyes.
Lin Qian didn’t know who the old man was talking about, but he knew what this person wanted to do.
During the Republic of China, there was a guy who wanted to control the mysterious bride, so he did not hesitate to create a set of mourning clothes that were exactly the same as the wedding dress in order to control the mysterious bride.
It is said that the old man in the drug store said that she was well prepared, but unfortunately she still failed. The Bride was too scary, and she took great strides.
Thinking of this, Lin Qian's pupils shrank slightly. He looked at the old man, thought for a while and said:
"He brought the umbrella here?"
The old man did not deny it, nodded directly and said:
"It was her. She entered the corpse cave, and the umbrella was not there when she came out. She had it on her body. I asked her about it at the time, and she said that the umbrella was occupied by something and she couldn't take it away."
“And it was that time that she told me that the opportunity to control the Gu God came and asked me if I wanted to try it.”
“When I heard this, I was very happy. , because of the strength she showed, I was attracted by her, so... I agreed."
"Then, I failed. I didn't die, but the Gu God disappeared. Xiaorou became the new Luohua Cave Girl, the incomplete Luohua Cave Girl."
The old man was a little silent when he said this, and there was a look in her eyes. Somewhat lonely.
The food on the table was already cold. Lin Qian looked at the fish and was stroking the bride's wedding dress in her hand.
The old man said it very concisely and clearly. Many things were mentioned in just one sentence.
You can tell from just a few words that the old man trusted her very much when he was young.
It's a pity...
Lin Qian gently pressed the bride's head and looked at the old man with a smile:
"The umbrella surface was occupied by something, which caused the killing pattern of the evil ghost to be destroyed. You cheated, and this is why you didn’t die. Although I don’t know what else you did, but this It's no longer important."
"There is only one important thing now. I will take the umbrella back and you will die, so that Xiaorou will become a Luohua Cave Girl."
"If I want. If you are right, Luohua Cave Girl’s death has been advanced because of you.”
Lin Qian pointed to the knocking on the door and the wailing dogs outside:
"It can be seen from these that the dogs felt it on the first day I came here, and I came Before here, we didn’t go through the formal channels.”
Recalling the situation after getting off the bus and entering the mountain, Lin Qian was certain that many of the corpses buried in the soil were from the corpse caves.
They were not eaten by bugs because of the old man and that guy.
Or it can be said that because the Luohua Cave Girl was not completely parasitized by the Gu God, most of the Gu insects in western Hunan fell into silence or lost certain abilities.
For example, the ability to reproduce by eating corpses.
Hearing what Lin Qian said, the old man breathed out, nodded and said:
"You are right, Xiaorou's death date has been advanced because of her and me. , once the Luohua Cave Girl dies, there will be no new Luohua Cave Girl.”
"At that time, the entire Danan City will face a tide of corpses and Gu insects."
"This is also the reason why I have been worried. I tried to go out and seek help, but I Failure, Luohua Cave Girl cannot leave the mountain, this is a taboo.”
"I also tried to ask the villagers to go out to seek help, but the result was cruel. Without the promise of the Luohua Cave Girl, as long as they walked out of the mountain, there would be another corpse in the corpse cave."
"And Xiaorou is now There is no way to promise this. After all, she is not a complete Luohua Cave girl. Over time, I gave up this idea after a while.”
“If you hadn’t come here, I would have tried to enter the corpse cave within a month at most and turn Xiaorou into a Luohua Cave girl.”
A wisp of breeze blew by, and Lin Qian pushed up his glasses, his eyes thoughtful.
Is this a taboo in the mountains? It's really scary.
"The taboos in your mountains are very strange, but I don't care about them. I just want to know how long it will take for the corpse cave to appear." Lin Qian said.
"Three days, according to the current situation, it will appear at most three days, and within these three days, the corpse cave will occasionally appear. If you want to go in at that time, you can."
"But you have to pay attention, the corpse cave will last for a short time, and you have to Be careful of the Gu worms in the river, they will attack all ghosts, including those who control them."
"The number of Gu worms is limited now. Once you kill most of the Gu worms, Xiaorou will advance. Death, everything will advance..." The old man stared at Lin Qian with a solemn tone.
Hearing this, Lin Qian was thoughtful. He looked at Xiaorou who was locked in the room, with some hesitation in his eyes.
"Exchanging a city for an umbrella? This is not easy to do." Lin Qian thought to himself.
"If the corpse cave appears completely, will those Gu insects attack the ghost controller?" Lin Qian asked.
"No, at least not before Xiaorou dies. If you enter the corpse cave, you must take Xiaorou with you and protect her from being killed by the corpse, because there is only Luohua Cave The woman can find the source, which is the Gu God. "
"I said before, because of me, the Gu God is not completely parasitic in Xiaorou's body. It is still in the corpse cave, and there is no Xiaorou. Rou’s help, it’s difficult for you to find it,” the old man said.
Lin Qian's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at the old man and thought for a while before saying:
"The umbrella surface is at the source, and to find the source, Xiaorou must be together, and Xiaorou cannot be allowed to die."
Lin Qian exhaled a long breath, the Gu God is also the ghost, then The thing is probably a ghost Gu.
Gu derived from the ghost voodoo, they protect Xiangxi and the Luohua Cave Girl, because the ghost voodoo is in the Luohua Cave Girl's body.
This is equivalent to the fact that if the ghost Gu exists, the Luohua Cave Girl will exist. If the Luohua Cave Girl exists, the Gu derived from it will not get out of control, or in other words, will not disappear.
This is really complicated.
The ghost Gu parasitizes the girl, turning her into the Luohua Cave Girl, and then lets the derived ghost Gu protect the Luohua Cave Girl. This behavior is clearly protecting the sacrifice.
Ghost Gu grows by killing the Luohua Cave Girl...a unique killing pattern.
The person who can use the characteristics of ghost Gu to protect Xiangxi is a genius.
"It's so troublesome..."
Lin Qian muttered, it is really troublesome to have strength but not be reckless.
He used to like to use his brain, but since his strength reached a certain level, he no longer likes to use his brain.
Because that is meaningless. Why use your brain when you can push it horizontally?
This is the principle that Lin Qian has always adhered to, but it doesn't work today. He has scruples...
The old man heard Lin Qian's complaints and it was troublesome. He didn't know what to say for a while. She looked at Lin Qian, somewhat silent.
Lin Qian looked at the bride, thought for a while and said:
"Okay, I'll wait for three days, but I will try to enter the corpse cave while waiting. If I think I can enter, I will take Xiaorou with me."
"Yes, but you have to Tell me when you go in so I can prepare." When the old man heard Lin Qian's words, he didn't feel surprised, but felt that it was normal.
This young man’s temperament does not mean he will wait patiently. This can be seen from the fact that he said he wanted to bulldoze this place.
Lin Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed. He knew what the old man wanted to prepare for his own death.
The previous Luohua Cave Girl is immortal, but this time the Luohua Cave Girl is incomplete.
The reality is so cruel.
The knocking on the door continued, and the voice asking Xiaorou to go out to play continued.
The hustle and bustle in the town gradually quieted down, and the cries of dogs stopped recurring.
The lights in the courtyard flickered slightly, and the dim yellow halo reflected on the face of the previous Luohua Cave girl.
Her face covered with vicissitudes of life was full of wrinkles. She looked at Lin Qian and smiled without saying anything.
It was only three days, and she would die in even less time. She acted very indifferently about this, as if she had already known that such a day would come.
It’s just that it’s ahead of schedule now.
Lin Qian also smiled and said nothing. He hugged the bride with a smile in his eyes.
"But wait until that guy fails and underestimates your terror, otherwise I will die miserably." Lin Qian whispered in the bride's ear.
The old man looked at Lin Qian's actions, his pupils shrank slightly, and he was a little shocked. But after thinking about it, she didn't say anything, but stood up and put away the food on the table.
Lin Qian didn't pay too much attention. He raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky in the mountains was much prettier than that in the city.
There are stars, the Big Dipper is clearly visible, half of the moon hangs in the sky, and the pale moonlight reflects the whole world.
Lin Qian rubbed the bride's hair, which felt smooth and fragrant. He sat up, thought for a while, and disappeared directly, appearing outside the yard.
The knocking on the door suddenly stopped. Lin Qian turned around and looked around. It was empty, no one was there, and there was no supernatural appearance.
“It’s really weird.”
Lin Qian muttered, and then stopped thinking about it. He held the bride's hand and began to wander around Shilin Ancient Town.
"Let's see if we can meet a ghost, if we're lucky." Lin Qian murmured to himself.
The wind is clear and the moon is bright, the ancient town is far away and ancient...
In the yard, the knocking on the door continues, and the shouts that gradually become resentful do not affect the old man.
She looked at the empty yard, her expression moved slightly, and finally shook her head, sighed, and said nothing.
She walked to Xiaorou's house and looked inside through the window. When she saw the girl sitting on the bedside with her eyes closed and motionless, the old man's eyes were full of reluctance.
"I'm sorry Xiaorou, don't blame grandma, I have old bones and I won't live much longer. You have to live on by yourself and live well."
The old man murmured Whispering, with tears flashing in her eyes, she slowly turned around and left Xiaorou's house.
She actually did not fail, she just failed to control the Gu God.
She doesn’t have this opportunity now, but Xiaorou still has it, she still has it!
The old man's expression became determined, he walked into his room, lit a red candle, and began to sew something.
In Xiaorou's room, the old man didn't notice that shortly after she left, Xiaorou, who was sitting on the bedside, had tears all over her face. The tears dripped down and were caught by a small transparent insect.
......
......
At twelve o'clock in the morning, at the headquarters, Wang Xiaoming, Cao Yanhua, Shen Liang, and several senior executives from the headquarters were looking solemnly at the money in their hands. Report.
Their expressions were gloomy.
"Support to Dajin City has been dispatched, and the current specific situation has been investigated clearly." Lu Zhiwen said while looking at everyone in the conference room.
“Say.” The head of the headquarters took a deep breath and said.
Lu Zhiwen nodded, looked at everyone and said without any nonsense: "It happened because of the supernatural bus. It was full. When the bus stopped at DJ City, there were thirty-five ghosts in total, all of them Get off the car."
"The current situation is that Fan Ba, the person in charge of DJ City, has been confirmed to be dead, and Cao Yang is dead. This is the surveillance footage and satellite footage obtained from the scene."
Snap
The lights in the conference room went out, and a video and several photos appeared on the projection screen in the conference room.
Lu Zhiwen clicked on the video, and a slightly dim picture appeared.
When the people in the conference room saw clearly what was on the screen, everyone was shocked.
Wang Xiaoming's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was some disbelief in his eyes.
"This is it!" (End of this chapter)
