What caught my eye were everyone's shocked faces. Under the warm yellow light, how could there be any shadow of red? Everything was normal, and I couldn't feel anything wrong in the room. Otherwise, my spiritual sense would have already noticed something was wrong.
However, oranges are real. Chengyuan held up a red orange with an innocent face, half peeled, and said to me: "Brother Chengyi, do you want to eat it?"
I reached out and touched my face, feeling a little embarrassed, but I didn't think I was being suspicious. I just sighed and said, "Don't blame me for being nervous. I'll tell you later what I encountered."
Everyone nodded at the same time and looked at me with eyes full of sympathy. I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. What these guys were thinking was, how pitiful is it that the heirs of the dignified Shanzi Meridian were 'scared' like this
The veins on my forehead jumped wildly, and I yelled: "What are you thinking about?" As a result, Ruyue blinked at me, and I growled helplessly and turned my head away, but I just felt that something was wrong. When I just lay down, I suddenly thought of it and turned my head hurriedly again.
I saw that Chengyuan had finished peeling the orange in his hand and was about to give it to Chengzhen and Ruyue.
"Don't eat it! Don't touch that orange!" I suddenly shouted again.
Chengyuan was startled, and the orange in her hand almost fell to the ground. She looked at me and said innocently again: "Brother Chengyi, do you have a grudge against the orange today?"
"Chengyuan, please put the oranges down first, and then tell me where you bought them?" I took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible. Some things are better to ask clearly, and I don’t want to be suspicious.
Seeing that I didn't look like I was joking, Chengyuan put the orange in his hand on the small table next to him and said to me: "Just now when you were still in a coma, I went out for a walk in the hotel and met a peasant woman picking a Carrying the load, I bought it from her."
After saying that, Chengyuan added: "It looks like she is going home, and there aren't many oranges left in the box. I saw that each one looked red and cute, so I bought it."
Young Master Xiao was already impatient. He walked over and picked up the orange that Chengyuan had placed on the small table. He tore off a piece and said to me: "Chen Chengyi, why do you always have trouble with Orange? Don't accept it." If you want to eat it, I can eat it."
While he was talking, the orange in Xiao Chengqian's hand was put to his mouth. An indescribable sense of crisis suddenly surged in my heart, and I shouted: "Xiao Chengqian, if you believe me, just put it down."
Xiao Chengqian was also stunned by my yelling, and the oranges stayed on his lips. I didn't want to delay any more, so I said loudly: "Are you stupid? It's summer, and it's early summer. Where can I buy oranges?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and one of them, Xiao Chengqian, said: "Is it unusual to cultivate out-of-season fruits now?"
"I x, which off-season fruit is not expensive? What's more, this is still a small county. Do you think that a farmer's wife will pick up and sell the out-of-season fruits at will? I'm afraid they have already been put in the supermarket! Even if it's a farmer's wife, Do you think the cheap and good-looking off-season fruits won’t be sold? Will there be any left after selling them until the evening, so that Cheng Yuan can meet them when they walk out of the hotel?" I said a lot of words, and this is also true. !
Because it is already late at night, and the hotel we are staying in is not in the bustling area of the county. It is a bit remote. Even if Chengyuan goes out earlier, it is still night, no matter what you think, it is wrong! Everyone was stunned. Even Xiao Chengqian was forced to put down the oranges in his hands and said, "That's right!"
"Anyway, let's put it down for now. Even if I wronged that peasant woman, and even if there's nothing wrong with the orange, don't eat it." At this time, there was another sharp pain in my back and stomach, which made me lose the strength to speak.
"Okay, let's put it there first and let's poison it first." Brother Chengxin pushed up his glasses. With a calm expression, his glasses were slightly narrowed and his eyes were deep. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Everything seemed to be normal, I breathed a sigh of relief, and lay on the pillow again. I tried not to think about the red figure reflected on the bedside, but when I closed my eyes, I waited for Brother Chengxin to show up. While I was doing this, I heard a voice coming from outside the window: "Haha, you are so smart."
"Who?" I immediately turned around and shouted, but saw a corner of red clothes floating past the dark window, and there was no more movement.
"Chengyi, if you're afraid of pain, just say so. If you startle us like this again, we're afraid you'll drive us crazy." Brother Chengxin said to me dissatisfiedly, holding a bottle of medicinal powder in his hand.
I was about to defend myself when I heard Xiao Chengqian's voice. He looked out the window and said, "Don't blame Chengyi, I saw it just now! Also, look at this..."
He was referring to the oranges on the table, which had suddenly turned into a puddle of red water. In the red water lay many pale white bugs with unusual shapes. These bugs are rare, but they are recorded in many classics, so We all know it. It is common sense among cultivators, so let’s call it Yinworm.
Yin worms are the kind of insects that are produced in places with extremely strong yin energy. Of course, this yin energy is not the pure yin energy of heaven and earth, but refers to the kind of mixed yin energy where ghosts gather!
It’s a normal scavenger that likes to live in cemeteries that is polluted by Yin Qi, causing it to look like this! There is a saying that where there are Yin worms, there must be powerful ghosts, because only places with powerful ghosts can spawn one or two Yin worms.
This kind of bug is a kind of carrion bug, which likes carrion and the like, but once it turns into a worm, they are not afraid of raw or cold food. Fresh meat is also their favorite, especially meat.
Ru Yue picked up a Yin insect and called out softly: "The body is very cold. This kind of insect is also an extremely vicious kind when used as a poisonous insect. However, in modern times, except for a few rural areas where burials are still preserved, they are no longer It’s easy to find them, because they will die as soon as they are exposed to the sun, and where is the forbidden place where Yin Qi gathers so easy to find?”
"The important thing is that it actually deceived my eyes and turned into an orange?" Chengyuan's face became extremely ugly, just because she bought the orange, but she is a Taoist nun, and she actually fell into this kind of way. Son.
As I said before, this kind of bug is extremely vicious as a Gu bug. Imagine the consequences of swallowing it. Will it be eaten from the internal organs
I suddenly felt a deep sense of exhaustion and lay down on the pillow, saying: "The forbidden place where Yin energy gathers, isn't that the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts? I have offended an incredible being this time. I hope it not only deceived your eyes, but also deceived the eyes of all of us. You know that the so-called blindness is actually an illusion that acts on the soul. Maybe those who are not bewitched will see you. I came back with a bag of red water." I didn't know what the red water was, and I didn't want to think about it.
"Let me handle this, Brother Chengxin, help Chengyi get rid of the poison first." Xiao Chengqian sighed. He said that he had seen it just now, but he did not say what he saw. Everyone was frightened by this strange scene. arrive.
As a descendant of the Shan Zi Pulse, I am probably even more aggrieved that he was actually made suspicious by a ghost and frightened like ordinary people.
-------Dividing line-------
Expelling Yin poison is a painful process, so painful that I no longer want to recall the ordeal. To describe it in detail, it is like a person undergoing surgery while awake, and during this process, he has to constantly cooperate with the doctor.
Two hours later, the trash can at Brother Chengxin's feet was still filled with black blood and emitted an indescribable fishy smell, making the whole room smell a little unpleasant until Xiao Chengqian I opened the window, and the cool breeze blew in, making the air in the whole room a little fresher. At this time, Brother Chengxin was helping me apply the medicine.
Throughout the entire process of detoxification, he has actually been helping me apply various medicinal powders to exorcise the poison, either using acupuncture or other methods. This should be the last time he applied the medicine. Every handful of medicinal powder was sprinkled on me. On my back, I feel as if the flesh on my back has turned into a sizzling sizzling sound. That feeling is the feeling of being awake and sewing wounds after surgery.
"These medicinal powders are enough to remove a small amount of residual poison from your body. Your body is very weak now. I have to go back. I have basically dealt with some of the medicinal materials we found in the old forest last time, including the roots of ginseng essence. Okay, I originally planned to prepare it into pills after this trip is over. It seems that I can’t postpone it this time, I have to go back first." Brother Chengxin said to me seriously, while bandaging me Wound.
I was exhausted to the extreme. After all, the entire detoxification process was a great test for both body and mind. While he was talking, I grabbed the mirror beside my pillow and took a look at myself. My face in the mirror remained the same. Pale, but it has turned into the paleness of a normal person, not the kind of paleness that seems to have lost its vitality. It seems that Brother Chengxin has succeeded.
But I'm very worried about what Brother Chengxin said about going back. The one who is targeting us is the ghost Rakshasa, which is a real "noxhide"-like ghost. It's targeting you and won't stop until it achieves its goal. Damn it, if Brother Chengxin lets it go, I can't imagine the consequences.
"This time, it's the Ghost Rakshasa who's targeting us." I laid my head on the pillow, and a tired voice came from the pillow.
There was silence in the room, and I added: "The orange should be a test for it!"
Silence continued in the room!
