my weird life

Chapter 616 Insect Breeding Technique (12)

The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence for a while.

Reverend Chilong does not talk to Mr. Tianwu, an old Taoist in golden robe. Mr. Tianwu stands in front of Reverend Chilong, but neither walks nor stops. After hesitating for a long time, he salutes Reverend Chilong again.
Turning to Su Wu who was next to Master Chilong, he said, "Fellow Taoist Xuan Snake, you and your master were the first to discover the strange things happening in the villages around Wutongdu.

Those village elders claimed that in the past three months, dozens of people from various villages have disappeared.

And the missing are all pregnant women.

And Fellow Daoist Xuan Snake and your master once salvaged [-] pregnant female corpses in the Minjiang River - Fellow Daoist Xuan Snake also has some preliminary understanding of this matter, I wonder if I can share a little bit with Pindao? "

Mr. Tianxuan called Chilong Daoist "Brother Daoist",
Calling Su Wu a "dao friend" is actually a bit of a suspicion of confusing seniority.

But at the moment he doesn't know the order of Taoist names of Daoist Chilong and Su Wu, and naturally it is not easy to rank them with them, so he can only use this common name to match them, but he doesn't care that this name will lead to three The generations in the world were a little confused for a while.

'Xuan Snake' looks handsome and quiet, not a difficult person to communicate with,
That's why Mr. Tianxu turned his target to him, and immediately asked Su Wu, not necessarily because he really wanted to know the specific secrets of the 'disappearing pregnant woman', but at least he showed that he was paying attention to this matter, so that he would not teach People use handles.

Su Wu looked at Mr. Tianwu,

From the other party's behavior, he has already noticed that although the other party is from the Tianwei Taoist altar, and should have a relatively high status in the Tianwei Taoist altar, the other party probably does not understand the relationship between Wutong God and all kinds of weirdness. Secretly involved.

Tianwei Daoist Temple has clearly received messages of help from Jinxi Village, Zhangzhuang and other villages.
Having roughly understood the strange events in the surrounding villages, but still sent a group of masters who didn't understand the situation to solve the problems for the villages - what was reflected in it was a bit intriguing.

Is it because Tianwei Dao Altar doesn't pay attention to this matter at all?

Or is there actually someone in the Taoist altar who understands the situation, but wants to use an ordinary ritual to cover up the matter perfunctorily?
"We are also new here, so we don't know much about the situation here." Su Wu thought about it in his heart, and said slowly, "However, there are a few things that make someone feel strange and worth investigating.

That is, the [-] female corpses discovered at the moment were all salvaged from the Minjiang River.

Even the five prostitutes who crossed the river by boat did not capsize in the Shaxi section where the current is fast and there are many hidden reefs.Instead, the boatman punted and carried them across the mouth of the Shaxi estuary. Once they reached the Minjiang River, which is wider, gentler, and free of hidden reefs, the boat capsized suddenly.

Several prostitutes fell into the water, and their abdomens swelled suddenly.

The boatman who carried them also rescued a prostitute ashore.

But then the prostitute jumped into the river by herself.

——As if there was something attracting them under the river. "

Su Wu was not stingy, and shared part of the information he had learned with Mr. Tianxuan. The other party also heard rumors that this matter might be related to Wutongshen. Based on the information from all aspects, it depends on whether the other party dares to follow suit. Follow these clues to check down.

The other party is really here to solve the problem,
It's still necessary to put the problem aside and just look at how these red-headed masters will do things next.

"Could it be that this matter is related to Jiang Longwang?" Mr. Tianwu frowned after hearing what Su Wu said, he frowned for a moment, then raised his head and said to Su Wu, "Daoist Xuan Snake, I'll go first Examining the female corpses salvaged ashore,

Try to attract souls and see if you can find out what happened to them before or just after they died, and which paths they traveled.

In other difficult situations,

I still hope that Fellow Daoist Xuan Snake and Master Chilong will not hesitate to help! "

After speaking,

Mr. Tian Centen bid farewell to Master Chilong and Su Wu, and led a group of men and women with red heads, and left in a hurry. The ferocious arrogance immediately weakened, and he no longer cheered up.

Such an attitude is seen in the eyes of the onlookers, and the onlookers can't help but whisper in their hearts.

——Could it be that these more than ten Taoist priests from outside are the real dragons?
Can't even offend the red-headed master of Tianwei Taoist altar?

"If you share information with him, he probably won't appreciate you, and will blame you for being troublesome in his heart.

Do you see how hurried he is?
Didn't take your reminder to heart at all.

Asking you and me for clues is just to cover up his previous intention of taking advantage of the power to question you and me. "Reverend Chilong watched the red-headed masters surround the golden-robed old man, walked towards the re-enshrouded female corpses under the embankment, curled his lips and said to Su Wu, "But you did nothing wrong.

Do everything with a clear conscience.

Whether he takes the you-me reminder to heart is one thing.

But this kind of thing is related to the safety of the surrounding people. If he asks, if you and I hide it and don't want to say more - then we have a problem. "

"Yes." Su Wu nodded, and followed the crowd to gather the red-headed masters under the embankment. He said, "Let's go and see, too, how did they summon their souls?"

"They've been dead for two or three days.

Whether it is the body or the soul, it has already cooled down.

What's the use of summoning souls at this time? "Reverend Chilong obviously didn't think Mr. Centipede's method would work that day, but he still obeyed his apprentice's invitation and led his disciples to walk down the embankment.

The Taoist priests in Beilu Mountain were surrounded by the crowd and gathered under the embankment.

on the clearing,
The corpses of women have been wrapped in straw mats for simple embalming.

Several sets of coffins were placed around them, all of which were brought by their families, and they would collect and bury the corpses after the masters of the Tianwei Dao Altar here had inspected the corpses.

More than ten masters walked in the open space, lifted the straw mat covering the female corpse, and checked the various conditions on the female corpse.

spring has come,

These corpses drifted in the river for an unknown number of days,

Now it was salvaged ashore, and after being parked for a day, it gradually began to smell like corpses.

The masters frowned and covered their noses as they inspected the female corpse, most of them flipped through it casually, and then hurriedly finished their work.

There is only one female teacher who is thin and thin, who examines each female corpse very carefully, takes out a charcoal pen from time to time to write and draw on the inferior straw paper, and records very carefully.

Among Taoist sects, women are not uncommon.

Nanlushan Tianwei Taoist Temple originally inherited the Taoist legal system, and there are also many female disciples included in it.

However, there are not many female masters who can become talented——Gein master fights, starting from the "martial arts", which requires courage in the body, female masters generally cannot do this kind of martial arts fighting, and mostly engage in scientific and civil work behind the scenes .

More than ten masters gathered around the golden robe old Taoist body.

The golden-robed old man whispered to them for a while,
The female teacher also presented all the things she had recorded to Mr. Tianwu. Mr. Tianwu glanced casually, then handed the papyrus booklet back to the woman, and then ordered his disciple to bring a large round porcelain plate.

He placed the large disc on the ground, took some sand soaked in corpse water from around a female corpse, and evenly spread it on the disc.

They also called a few village elders, Lizheng, to communicate with them, while drawing a horizontal line on the disk, and on the side of the horizontal line, some hooks and crosses were drawn, marking 'Jinxi Village' and 'Zhangzhuang' Wait for the specific location of the village.

On the other side of the horizontal line, 'Wutong Ferry' is marked.

And 'Shaxi River', 'Minjiang River'.

——It turned out that a sketch of the surrounding terrain was drawn on the disk.

Subsequently,

He brought a wine gourd about half a foot high, unplugged the gourd, and slowly poured out a shiny centipede from it—Mr. Tian Centipede looked back nervously at the people in Beilu Mountain.

All the Taoists in Beilu Mountain look at their noses with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses, and they don't speak a word.

Mr. Tian Centipede breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the centipede to crawl around the female corpse, and then put it on the edge of the disc.

The centipede walked around the edge of the pan for a few times, and suddenly began to walk into the pan. It swam from the Minjiang section of the Shaxi Estuary to the embankment of the Wutong Ferry, and then stopped.

Seeing this, the golden-robed old man,

Grab the centipede, put it on the second female corpse, and after the centipede has climbed around the female corpse, place it on the edge of the disc.

His current behavior is full of mystery and strangeness, which has attracted the attention of all the surrounding villagers.
There was no noise in the arena.

They all kept their eyes on the movement of the centipede around the pan.

Immortal Chilong took a look at Mr. Er Tianwu's actions, suddenly smiled, and said to Su Wu in a low voice: "Not to mention anything else, the Tianwei Dao Altar must have some connections with the 'Puppet Vessel' and the 'Puppet Vessel'. , this kind of "insect raising technique" will only appear in the puppet veins and scorpion veins of the earth religion.

He is now using the worms he has raised for many years to contaminate the causal clues left by the female corpse during her lifetime.

Then let Chonger reproduce those causal clues.

the first female corpse,
He only showed him the causal clue that the female corpse had been moved from the Minjiang River to the Wutong Ferry.

——This causal clue should be that we salvaged the female corpses from the Minjiang River and placed them at Wutong Ferry.

look,

Now the centipede walked from the 'Minjiang River' to the 'Wutong Ferry'.

And reproduce what we did before.

How many causal clues it can reproduce does not depend on how much skill the old Taoist Tian Centipede has, but how many clues are left on the corpse-this insect breeding technique is occasionally useful, but unfortunately the method of raising insects must be cruel and poisonous. Spending such a high price, only raising such a small bug that can't even compare with the old clerks and old catchers, the gain outweighs the gain! "

Su Wu listened to Master Chilong's explanation, and stared at the disc.

After the centipede on the disk climbed over the line of 'Minjiang-Wutong Ferry' for the second time, it paused for a moment, and then crawled back to the edge of the disk. After that, before Mr. Tian Centipede could catch it Then go to contaminate the causal clues left by the third female corpse,

It crawled on its own again,

This time,
It first walks along the road from 'Zhangzhuang' to an intersection, which is not marked with a specific name.

Then, it turned back to Zhangzhuang and stayed there for a while.

Then we crossed the embankment along the road from Zhangzhuang, walked from Wutongdu to the mouth of Shaxi River downstream, and plunged into the Minjiang River from there!
After throwing into the Minjiang River,

The centipede shook its head and tail, then crawled out of the river,
It did not return to the edge of the disc, but turned over the embankment of the Minjiang section again, walked through many paths on the disc, and returned to the intersection where it had stayed before - the intersection!

"Here, where is it?!" The sharp-eyed villagers who were close by noticed the intersection where the centipede stopped twice, and couldn't help asking.

Several village elders and Lizheng had the same problem as the villagers.

They squinted at the intersection, identifying the roads around them.

Suddenly, Jinxi Village said solemnly: "Wutong Temple!"

"There is the Wutong Temple!"

The people around were in an uproar!

Master Chilong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "The centipede's throwing into the river means that the female corpse was really thrown into the river and drowned - but then it crawled out of the river again, over the embankment, and arrived at the Wutong Temple. ,

This shows what? "

Su Wu and Master looked at each other.

All feel a little chilly.

The remnant soul of the dead—the remaining consciousness of the dead, returned to the Temple of Wutong once again, and made a wish in the temple!
