Chapter 41 Chapter 41: The Gu

The flames quickly shot through the entire cave, revealing the true colors of the things that were chained before. These things were human-like in shape, red all over, with strangely long arms, and extremely strange faces. Their eyes and noses could not be seen at a glance. Bai Sensen's two rows of equipment have huge teeth growing outside the mouth.Wu Qi glanced at it, and quickly remembered an experience that Zhao Guai mentioned to him. This thing was very much like the strange monkey guarding the alchemy furnace he mentioned. Those strange monkeys are very afraid of light. When they saw such a strong light, they screamed desperately with their teeth bared, and ran frantically for their lives. Soon, one by one, they got into the holes on the mountain wall in an orderly manner. disappeared.And directly in front of the mountain wall is a huge iron gate, more than one foot high, standing there like a death gate leading to the underworld.

The group of people who broke in had already surrounded them, stepped forward and held down the two of them, the two struggled twice, and were quickly controlled, and everyone stepped forward to tie them up.At this time, a woman's voice came from the crowd: "Stop it, I have something to ask them!" Wu Qixun looked up and found that she was the woman named Moi. At this moment, she was raising her hand to signal everyone to stop, but her eyes were looking at them with a trace of hatred. "What are you doing here? Do you know what this place is!" "I heard from your people just now that this is your forbidden place!" Wu Qi was no longer afraid at the moment, and said calmly: "We didn't know before, we just wanted to leave this place, and you still want to mobilize people like this!" of!"

Moy gave him a cold look and said, "Leave here? Maybe it was possible before, but you have been here before, so it's impossible!" After she finished speaking, there was a burst of response from behind her: "Yes! They must not be spared lightly. Village rules!" With a wave of Moy's hand, a man in black behind him brought up a delicate porcelain bottle, and the people who were escorting Wu Qiguiwu stepped forward, and the man in black poured out a pill from the bottle, carefully hold in hand. "That's what those things fed you just now. You saw something you shouldn't see. According to our rules, if you don't eat it, we will never let you go out!" Moy sneered, Nodding to the man in black, the woman's unique gentleness and softness are gone, and at this moment she looks more like a witch, ready to cast a terrifying spell of harming people.

"Don't worry, no one will die, Aunt Xin, and your friends will all eat it!" Wu Qi was startled when he heard this, and suddenly became furious. "You... what did you do to them?" Moy was still expressionless, his eyes became confused, and it took a long time before he said lightly: "If you eat it, they will be the same as us, and if you eat it, you will be the same as us!" As he spoke, he waved his finger behind her The crowd looked at Wu Qi with a shallow smile, and there was a little sadness in their eyes.Wu Qi half understood what he heard, and when he stared at the faces in front of him, he always felt an indescribable strangeness rushing towards him.

The man in black had to step forward, stretched out his hand, opened Wu Qi's mouth and stuffed it in. Wu Qi naturally refused to submit, and struggled desperately to keep his mouth open.In the past, a group of monkeys fed him this strange drug in this way, but now it was forced by a real person. It was like a monkey and a man, they were all his mother's beasts!Wu Qi's struggle irritated the other party, and several big men stepped forward at the same time, and they fought together without distinction. No matter how hard Wu Qi and Ghost Wu struggled, they were no match for the other party's crowd. Accompanied by a burst of bitterness, the two pills were finally swallowed by the two respectively.Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd, and the two strong men were thrown out abruptly and smashed into the crowd, everyone looked up in fear for no reason.But I saw a figure leapt onto the raised stone pier, and tore off his shirt, exposing his red skin.

Everyone raised their sabers vigilantly at first, and then they were suddenly stunned, their eyes widened and their mouths opened, as if they had witnessed something incredible.Moy couldn't believe her eyes even more. She shook her head repeatedly, and it took a long time to be sure that she was right. "You? Impossible! Are you...? This is impossible!" Moy became a little incoherent, shaking his head in fear as he spoke, his gaze never leaving Ghostwood's back, the pattern of the alchemy furnace was clearly visible, the flames Reflecting on his red skin, it was as if a raging flame was burning around the alchemy furnace.

"You guys still recognize me? You're so lucky!" Ghost Wu sneered, scanning the crowd sharply, and soon some people began to show fear and compromise, and slowly stepped back, as if avoiding someone with a serious illness. Patients with infectious diseases in general. "Ghost Wu! It's Ghost Wu! He's not dead!" The crowd yelled in panic, and everyone stood still, neither daring to step forward nor back, their legs trembling all the time as if they were about to kneel down. "Impossible! You can't be alive!" Moy kept shaking his head, obviously still unwilling to believe what he saw.All of this was completely beyond Wu Qi's expectation. It all happened so suddenly, as if in a dream. He didn't understand what was going on at all. Wu Qi kept muttering in his heart, how could these people know Ghost Wu? What is the inextricable connection between Ghost Wu and this ghost place?

"Arrest them!" Moy ordered weakly, knowing in her heart that no one would have the courage at this moment.Sure enough, Moy yelled twice, and instead of trembling and not daring to step forward, the crowd squeezed back and took a few big steps back, without a trace of their prestige as before. Ghost Wu laughed, jumped down from the stone platform, and walked towards the exit with his head held high. ... Wu Qi and Ghost Wu went back to the village together with the others, and once again locked themselves in the stilt building with Feng Dui and his party. What disturbed him was that Feng Dui, Er Tiao, and Li Xiaomeng were all forced to take that weird pill , Those people also warned them that after taking these pills, they would never want to go out again, as long as they left the stockade for more than half a mile, they would be in so much pain that they would die.

"When will I leave this ghostly place? I can't take it anymore!" Li Xiaomeng cried, this girl was born in a cadre family and grew up in a honey pot. She joined the archaeological team just to vent her interest. This situation was unexpected, and of course she couldn't accept it. Ghost Wuzheng stood aside with his brows tightly furrowed, he glanced at everyone present, and said calmly: "Those people didn't lie to you, we all took the cage-returning pill, even if we let us go now, we won't be able to go far !" "Then what should we do?" Er Tiao became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Dude, I still haven't lived for most of my life, and I don't want to end up in this hellish place. What kind of thing is that pill you're talking about?"

"Pills made from cage-returning worms. These things are more effective in imprisoning people than iron chains and iron locks!" "Ah? You mean we've all been hit...?" Wu Qi understood after hearing this, and couldn't help interjecting. Although he didn't believe in evil, this peculiar restraint method reminded him of a kind of Something - Gu. Gu is a folk thaumaturgy in our country. To put it more broadly, it can even be said to be a special culture. This technique is extremely common in remote areas in the south. In some places, even entire villages use Gu.The theory of laying voodoo has existed since ancient times. After many years of changes, various voodoo techniques have emerged one after another. Although so many have been lost, in this remote and isolated mountainous area, a group of isolated people mastered a special voodoo technique. It's really not something to be surprised about.

Some voodoo techniques are extremely powerful and vicious, and those who suffer from the voodoo are often in agony. At this time, what Moy said before gave him a bad premonition. Ghost Wu's further explanation made everyone fall into great fear: the cage-returning worm is an extremely weird worm, and it is also called a corpse worm in the Miaojiang area. The number is very small, and the female insect is extremely rare.People trap female cage-returning insects, make them dormant in a special way, and then seal them in pills made of Beiyang soil (the powder ground from a huge stone that hits the first ray of sunlight in the north in the early morning) as a vomit. .It is said that after a person has been infected by the cage-returning worm, no matter how far he travels, he will return to the previous place inexplicably soon, and even the person who has been infected by the insect does not know the reason. The few people frowned when they heard this, and were at a loss for a while. The experience of being infected by Gu was a blank for them. They neither believed nor wanted to have those weird bugs in their bodies, and they also controlled own behavior. "I think it's all blown out, there's nothing so evil!" Captain Feng said loudly: "I think the most urgent thing is to escape from here first, and take a risk no matter what. It's over!" Li Xiaomeng and Er Tiao agreed immediately, and they immediately began to study the escape route. Wu Qi did not participate, but thought quietly for a while, and suddenly said: "Maybe, they didn't scare us. I think this thing It's not fake!"
