The reddish-gray "antidote" slid down Zhao Xilan's mouth into her esophagus.
But it didn't work.
After a few more minutes, Zhao Xilan's body began to shake violently, even with convulsions.
"How... could this happen?"
Lou Xiaoman looked at her apprentice from a distance, with a look of uneasiness on her face. The knife had been pulled out of her body, the wound was not deep, and she was sprinkled with healing medicine and wrapped up.
Granny Tianhua's already frowned brows became even tighter.
"Chimu, didn't you say this method could save people? Why is it that it has no effect at all now?"
Granny Tianhua was afraid that her sister Granny Chimu would play some tricks, so she asked in a cold voice.
Granny Chimu's expression changed again and again, and she said, "Sister, I don't know either. I learned this secret method by accident, and it should be effective in restraining this kind of mother-child poisonous insect. But now..."
For a moment everyone became a little nervous.
At this time, my master Zhang Chu, who was standing nearby, suddenly said, "Look! Something seems to be moving on Zhao Xilan's neck. It looks like a poisonous insect."
Everyone stared over.
Sure enough, a bulging lump appeared on Zhao Xilan's neck, just like the lump that appeared on the neck of the waiter at Longtan Inn when I was there, and it kept moving.
It should be a poisonous insect!
"It's a poisonous insect. It seems that the secret method has worked. Maybe the poisonous insect is really going to come out." Ge Liang, who was standing next to Grandma Chimu, said in surprise.
Not long after, the poisonous insect appeared on Zhao Xilan's face and lifted up her skin.
Then, the sound of fluttering wings came from Zhao Xilan's mouth.
After just a few minutes, a small black poisonous insect slid out of Zhao Xilan's mouth.
As soon as the poisonous insect came out, we prepared to kill it.
But what was unexpected was that after the insect crawled out of Zhao Xilan's body, it fell directly to the ground. The black wings of the insect "puffed" on the ground a few times, and then it was motionless.
"That method worked! The poisonous insect was killed!" Grandma Chimu said in a low voice.
Qiu Shui, a Miao girl next to Granny Tianhua, pulled out the poisonous insect with a small wooden stick. She found that the insect's black claws had shrunk together, indicating that the insect was dead.
Qiu Shui said loudly: "This poisonous insect is dead."
I heard that the poisonous insect was dead, so I was naturally very happy.
When I looked at Zhao Xilan again, I noticed that her face had turned pale from the previous purple, and a little bit of redness appeared.
Not long after Qiu Shui finished speaking, Zhao Xilan, who was leaning against the stone, slowly opened her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xilan leaned forward, bent down, and began to vomit violently.
The vomit she spat out was black, and there was blood in the black. The color of the blood was dark red.
After spitting out about four or five mouthfuls of blood, Zhao Xilan finally raised her head slightly.
At this time, her eyes were no longer as confused as before, but became clear.
"Xilan, how are you?"
Lou Xiaoman was slowly supported by Fatty Li to Zhao Xilan's side.
Zhao Xilan followed the voice and looked towards Lou Xiaoman.
The next moment, Zhao Xilan's eyes became wet and she burst into tears.
“
Master, Master... Is it really you? Am I seeing things?"
Zhao Xilan shouted somewhat excitedly.
Lou Xiaoman also seemed very excited and quickly replied: "That's right, Xilan, it's the master, it's me! The master is here to save you."
Zhao Xilan was so tired that she couldn't stand up.
It was Lou Xiaoman who held the arm of Fatty Li and slowly bent down.
For a moment, Lou Xiaoman and Zhao Xilan hugged each other and cried.
Both of them cried, and there was sadness in their cries.
Even though I was standing aside, I felt very uncomfortable.
In this way, Lou Xiaoman and Zhao Xilan snuggled together and cried for more than ten minutes before they separated.
Afterwards, I supported Zhao Xilan, and Fatty Li supported Lou Xiaoman, and we stood up from the ground.
I wanted to know what was going on, so I asked Zhao Xilan, "Sister Xilan, can you tell me what is going on?"
Zhao Xilan's composure had almost recovered.
She just drank a few sips of water, and her mental state is now basically stable.
After hearing my question, Zhao Xilan reacted and nodded.
Then Zhao Xilan told us what had happened to her and what she knew.
It turned out that Zhao Xilan had come to Longtan Town a few days ago, with the purpose of going to the Soul Burial Valley to find her boyfriend Huang Bin. However, when she went to Longtan Town to inquire about the Soul Burial Valley and Huang Bin's news, she was followed by someone.
At that time, Zhao Xilan was thinking about getting rid of him.
But unexpectedly, the man followed Zhao Xilan into the Longtan Inn.
It was in the Longtan Inn that the cave girl suddenly broke into Zhao Xilan's room and used some means to control Zhao Xilan.
At night, Luodongnu took Zhao Xilan away and brought her to Luohua Cave.
After arriving here, Luodongnu didn't hesitate to inject the sub-Gu into Zhao Xilan's body and took control of Zhao Xilan's body.
That sub-Gu is also called the Xi Gu. Like the Chi Gu, it can have a great impact on people's spirit.
In this way, Luodongnu controlled Zhao Xilan and planned to turn Zhao Xilan into her substitute when the Zi Gu matured.
Why did Zhao Xilan become a stand-in? Because Zhao Xilan herself committed the "disability" fault among the five faults and three deficiencies, or more precisely, the "emotional fault".
Taking advantage of this, Zhao Xilan could become a good container for the Gu worm. With such a container, Luodongnu felt that she could raise a poisonous Gu worm that was more powerful than the golden silkworm Gu and the scorpion Gu.
And because of the existence of the mother Gu, Luodongnu can also control Zhao Xilan.
In other words, Luodongnu regarded Zhao Xilan as a weapon, a weapon that could be used to raise Gu.
Granny Chimu on the side looked ashamed and continued, "So that's how it is. It turns out that Luodong Nv needs a human body container. I was wondering why she let us harm people and turned them into zombies. It turns out that what she needs is a container for breeding Gu."
Zhao Xilan nodded and said, "That's right. At first, I was conscious. Luodongnu told me that she originally planned to use zombies as a container for breeding Gu, but then she met me. She thought my body could better breed Gu, so she captured me."
After Zhao Xilan's explanation, many things became clear.
Granny Tianhua said angrily: "That cave woman is absolutely crazy. She actually wants to turn people into containers just to raise poisonous insects.
It’s so abominable.”
Chimu Po Po and Ge Liang on the side kept their heads down and dared not say a word.
Looking at Chimu Granny and Ge Liang, Granny Tianhua said solemnly: "You two will come back to my residence with me later. From now on, you are not allowed to touch the poisonous insects again. If you disobey me, I will hand you over to the Miao people for punishment, and use your lives to sacrifice to the souls of those who died tragically."
Granny Chimu was so frightened that she trembled. She nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, sister, you are right. We will never touch poisonous insects again. If we disobey you, we will be punished."
Granny Tianhua looked at Granny Chimu and Ge Liang, then turned her gaze to us and asked, "What do you think?"
I looked at my master Zhang Chu and turned my head away, intending to ask Wang Jiuyang for his opinion again.
But I didn't expect that Wang Jiuyang was not here. This surprised me.
I hurriedly turned back to look for Wang Jiuyang, but when I looked around, I didn't see Wang Jiuyang.
"Tianyi, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Chu asked me.
I frowned and lowered my voice to say to Zhang Chu: "Master, Wang Jiuyang is missing!"
When Zhang Chu heard this, he also found it incredible.
He looked around like I did, but also couldn't find Wang Jiuyang.
Seeing our changing expressions, Granny Smallpox asked in confusion: "Yang Tianyi, what's wrong with you?"
I turned around, calmed myself down, and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
However, the cautious Grandma Tianhua still found something wrong. She discovered that Wang Jiuyang was not here.
She asked me puzzledly: "Yang Tianyi, where is your uncle Wang Jiuyang?"
Seeing that I couldn't hide it anymore, I shook my head and said, "Maybe he had something to do and left for the time being."
But my expression didn't fool Granny Smallpox.
Granny Tianhua knew that there must be something going on between Wang Jiuyang and me, but she didn't point it out.
I continued, "Let's put this matter of Granny Tianhua and Luodongnv to rest for now. As for Granny Chimu and her son, we won't pursue it any further. After all, this is your own business as Miao people. We naturally hope that they won't harm anyone."
When I told them that we would no longer pursue the matter of harming others, Chimu Granny and Ge Liang were somewhat moved. They thanked us repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you!! ... ... "
After a brief conversation, I didn't say anything more to Grandma Chimu.
At this time, Granny Smallpox's eyes were fixed on the distance.
I followed her gaze and saw the Taotie beast.
Granny Tianhua then asked me, "Tianyi, can you tell me about your monster? I have never seen such a large animal. Not even on TV. I'm afraid it's not a creature from my world?!"
I smiled, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
But regarding the matter of the Taotie beast, I know it’s better not to say anything careless.
If others knew about the Taotie beast, I'm afraid the whole society would explode. After all, the Taotie beast is an ancient giant beast, and it looks very ugly and scary.
After thinking for a while, I said frankly, "I'm sorry, Granny Smallpox. I'm really sorry. It's not convenient for me to tell you about the giant beast, and I hope you won't ask too much. You just need to know that it is under my control and will not harm anyone."
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Granny Tianhua tactfully didn't ask any more questions.
