Jiajing Spiritual Records

The secret passage was pitch black, and after an unknown amount of time, the woman's footsteps stopped.Ning Huan's eyes suddenly lit up, the woman had already put the banknotes in her hand on the table, and holding a candlestick beside her, she walked towards the innermost gate alone.

The figure of the woman disappeared inside the door, "Lord Su, are you there?" Ning Huan called out softly.

"Shhh." Ning Huan felt a weight in his body in a trance, and when he recovered, his body was already standing in the secret passageway.

Under the candlelight, Ning Huan could clearly see the narrow secret passage in front of him.A stone statue of witches and ghosts was placed on the table of eight immortals carved in mahogany in the center. Boxes of silver notes, goldware, and jewelry seemed to be worthless things, and they were thrown aside casually.Su Xian looked at the statues of witches, ghosts and gods on the table. Obviously, Miao Nu's identity was not far from what he had guessed.

"Shall we follow?" Ning Huan asked.

Su Xian nodded: "Follow me closely."

As the door opened, there was a strong stench in the air, like the smell of blood mixed with the smell of rotting corpses, it was disgusting.Ning Huan wrinkled his nose, lowered his head and followed Su Xian into the room.

The room behind the gate was much larger than what Ning Huan had imagined, and the sound of water "tick tock" came from nowhere.Su Xian who was walking in front suddenly stopped, "What's wrong?" Su Xian didn't make a sound, frowned, and his eyes were narrowed on the beams of the house.Ning Huan followed his gaze and looked over, the scene in front of him made him forget to breathe.

Rows of blood-red humanoid monsters, like stinky old bacon, hung all over the beams.Long iron chains hung from the top, and the sharp hooks at the ends pierced their flesh.

"Tick tick tick tick" Yellow pus mixed with dark red blood flowed from them and fell into the groove below. The blood red blood slowly flowed into the pool in the center along the route that had already been designed. middle.

Ning Huan retched, and cursed in a low voice: "What are these things?"

Su Xian held his nose, obviously couldn't stand the smell here, he pointed to a corner not far from them.There were piles of women's clothes and clumps of black hair.

Ning Huan's scalp went numb for a while, and he was speechless for a long time.Suxian said: "They are all missing women in the south of the city, their skins were skinned and they were hung here."

"Pick... peel the skin?" Ning Huan looked at the bloody corpses without human skin in the room, his mind was in chaos.

Su Xian raised his chin, and there were sheets of transparent white skin under the blood corpse, and untreated yellow fat remained on the back.The human skin peeled off cleanly, without even a broken mark.

Su Xian sneered: "The 'beauty skin' sold by the rice paper shop in the south of the city is really a real beauty skin."

There was a sudden ripple on the surface of the blood pool, and there seemed to be something in the water.A vortex slowly appeared in the center of the pool, and a half-foot-tall bug crawled out of the blood pool.It moved slowly, its body was so white that it was almost transparent. As soon as it came up, it raised its head and swallowed a row of blood corpses on the beams. Rows of sharp teeth were exposed from the huge round mouthparts. It rattled.

"It's okay, it can't see us." Even so, Su Xian pulled Ning Huan to a nearby corner.A few feet away from Ning Huan was a bloody corpse, her head was down, her mouth was wide open, even without the human skin, the ferocious expression on her face could still be seen.

The blood corpse chewed a few times in the giant worm's mouth, making a "click, click, click" sound.After half a stick of incense, the giant worm that had finished eating lay down on the ground and remained motionless.

"what happened?"

Su Xian shook his head.Just as they were about to go over to find out, the worm's body burst open, splashing yellow pulp all over the floor.There was a hole in its abdomen, and there was an extra figure inside, completely naked, attached under a layer of transparent mucous membrane.She raised her head, it was that Miao girl. "She...she came out of the bug's body."

Ning Huan wanted to get closer, but Suxian held him back: "It's too late, there is only one incense stick of meditation time."

"She..." Ning Huan glanced at Miao Nu on the ground.

"You can't kill her now." Suxian replied.Ning Huan thought for a while, and had no choice but to give up: "Then how do we go back?"

Su Xian didn't know what he was thinking. "My lord?" Ning Huan called out in a low voice.Su Xian's thoughts were interrupted, he came back to his senses, "Close your eyes first." After speaking, he raised his hand to cover Ning Huan's eyes.

At the moment when his eyes were covered, Ning Huan seemed to see another figure of a woman in red.It's her again?The woman in red stared straight at Ning Huan, still with that expressionless face.She can see me, Ning Huan thought, why can she see me?

Ning Huan's chest sank, the red figure disappeared, and a familiar scent of sandalwood lingered in his nose.are you back?

Ning Huan opened his eyes and found that he was back in the inn just now.In front of him was a stick of incense that had just burned out.Ning Huan took a deep breath, turned his head and saw Su Xian was leaning against the window lattice and yawning lazily.

Ning Huan got out of bed, walked to the front of the table, drank a glass of water and asked, "What the hell is that Miao girl?"

"Have you heard of Twin Life Gu?" Ning Huan shook his head.

Su Xian sat back on the bed and leaned against the edge of the bed.He squinted his eyes and raised his chin towards Ning Huan, motioning for the tea to be brought over.Ning Huan curled his lips, changed the cup and poured a cup of herbal tea before serving it to Su Xian.

"Actually, I haven't seen it either, but I heard it mentioned by a senior uncle of my class a few years ago. Although my senior uncle is not serious, he knows a lot of strange things, and one of them is about Twin Life Gu."

"It is said that there is a family surnamed Lei in Eastern Wu. The master is very suspicious. In order to prevent the slaves from having second thoughts about him, he bought a kind of Gu worm called Twin Life Gu from Miaojiang and forced the slaves to eat it. Go on. This kind of Gu insect is divided into child Gu and mother Gu. The child Gu is planted in the body of the slave, and the mother Gu is hidden in the secret room of the master's house. If the mother Gu is dead, the child Gu will not be able to survive. The master has mastered the slaves. If a servant girl found out about this, it was like sneaking into a secret room and stealing the Gu mother, never wanting to be discovered by the master who entered the dark room, and swallowing the Gu mother together in a hurry."

"Wouldn't the Gu mother die if she swallowed it, but wouldn't she still die if the Gu mother died?" Ning Huan asked curiously.

"It stands to reason that this is the case. The maidservant would die if she swallowed the Gu mother. In order to prevent other servants from knowing about this, the master closed the secret room. Unexpectedly, one day a servant heard the sound of the secret room, so When I opened the secret room, I found a long white worm lying inside. Before the servant could escape, he was swallowed by the worm, and a woman crawled out of its abdominal cavity a few days later, it was the maid."

"You mean that the owner of the rice paper shop became like this because he was planted with a voodoo, and then swallowed the voodoo mother?" Ning Huan frowned, "Then what happened later? Was the female slave killed?"

Su Xian shook his head and said: "I don't know, the female slave seems to have escaped into the mountains in the end, because her body shape was not stable after she transformed back into a human, and she turned into a worm in front of everyone several times, and was quickly exposed. But it seems that eating It can be relaxed for a period of time after killing a living person. As for how to kill her, I have to ask my uncle for details."

Ning Huan pursed his lips: "That means the owner of the rice paper shop will continue to harm people?"

"Probably." Su Xian stared out of the window expressionlessly, following his gaze, he happened to be able to see the rice paper shop not far away.At this time, a group of big men were gathered in front of the shop. They didn't look like they were from the Central Plains, but in a place like the capital, it's normal to have so many foreigners.A few guys in the store came out and seemed to want to reason with them, but they were pushed away.The leading strong man muttered loudly: "Hand over the things."

"People from the red and blue families are here, it's very lively now." Suxian sneered, and looked away, "I have to go to Sanqing Mountain to find my uncle later, you go back first, and I will inform you if there is news. Let me know." Suxian thought for a while and continued, "Try not to mention this matter when you go back, Qian Mian has been active in the capital for the past few days, I'm afraid of making trouble."

Ning Huan nodded solemnly and said, "Okay."
