Chapter 52: The Strange Orange
What caught my eye was everyone's shocked faces, and under the warm yellow light, there was no red shadow? Everything is normal, and I don't feel anything wrong in the room, otherwise I would have noticed that something was wrong according to my spiritual sense.
However, the orange is real, Cheng Yuan held a red orange with an innocent face, which had been half peeled, and said to me: "Brother Cheng Yi, do you want to eat it?" β
I reached out and touched my face, a little embarrassed, but I didn't think I was suspicious, I just sighed and said, "Don't blame me for being nervous, I'll tell you what I've met later." β
Everyone nodded at the same time, looking at my eyes were full of sympathy, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, these guys thought in their hearts, it should be, it's really pitiful, the heirs of the dignified mountain lineage were 'scared' like this, right?
I yelled, "What are you thinking?" As a result, Ruyue winked at me, I let out a low roar helplessly, and turned my head away, but I just felt that something was wrong, and when I just lay down, I suddenly thought of it, and turned my head again urgently.
I saw that Cheng Yuan had finished peeling the orange in his hand, and was about to give it to Cheng Zhen and Ruyue.
"Don't eat it! Don't touch that orange! Suddenly, I shouted again.
Cheng Yuan was startled, the orange in her hand almost didn't hang to the ground, she looked at me and said innocently again: "Brother Cheng Yi, do you have a grudge against oranges today?" β
"Promise, you put down the oranges first, and then tell me where you bought the oranges?" I took a deep breath and said as gently as I could. It's better to ask some things clearly, and I don't want to be suspicious.
Seeing that I didn't look like a joke, he put the orange in his hand on the small table beside him, and said to me, "Just now when you were still in a coma, I went out to the hotel for a walk, and met a peasant woman carrying a burden, and I bought it with her." β
After speaking, Cheng Yuan added: "It looks like she is going home, and there are not many oranges left in the frame. β
Young Master Xiao was already impatient, walked over and picked up the orange that he had promised to put on the small table, tore off a petal, and said to me: "Chen Chengyi, why can't you get along with the orange?" Don't you want to eat it, I'll eat it. β
As he spoke, the orange in Xiao Chengqian's hand was handed to his mouth, and an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly surged in my heart, and I roared: "Xiao Chengqian, if you believe in Lao Tzu, let it go." β
Xiao Chengqian was also stunned by my yelling, the orange stayed in his mouth, I didn't want to delay any longer, and said loudly: "Stupid, right? It's summer, and it's early summer, where do you get the oranges to sell? β
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Chengqian said: "Is it unusual to breed out-of-season fruits now?" β
"I'm X, which out-of-season fruit is not expensive? What's more, this is still a small county town, do you think that the off-season fruits will be sold by a peasant woman at will? I'm afraid I would have put it in the supermarket a long time ago! Even if it is a peasant woman who picks and sells it, do you think that the out-of-season fruits that are cheap and good will not be sold? Sell it until the night can still be left, so that the promise will be met when you walk out of the hotel? "I've said a lot of things, and that's true!
Because it's late at night, the hotel we live in is not in the bustling area of this county, some remote, even if we promise to go out earlier, it's night, how to think about it is not right! Everyone was stunned, even Xiao Chengqian was so relieved by me that he put down the orange in his hand and said, "That's what I said!" β
"Anyway, let's put it down first, even if I wronged the peasant woman, even if this orange is fine, don't eat it." At this moment, there was another sharp pain in my back and stomach, and I had no strength to speak.
"Okay, then put it there first, pioneer poison." Brother Chengxin pushed his glasses, and under his calm expression, his glasses narrowed slightly, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Everything seemed to be normal, I was relieved, and lay on the pillow again, the red figure reflected at the head of the bed, I tried not to think about it, but when I closed my eyes and waited for Brother Chengxin to make a move, I heard a voice outside the window: "Hehe, you are smart." β
"Who?" I immediately turned my head and shouted, but I saw a corner of my red clothes floating by outside the dark window, and there was no movement.
"Chengyi, if you're afraid of pain, just say it, if you are shocked like this, we are afraid that we will be driven crazy by you." Brother Chengxin held a bottle of medicinal powder in his hand and said to me dissatisfied.
I just wanted to defend myself, but I heard Xiao Chengqian's voice, he looked out the window and said, "Don't blame Chengyi, I saw it just now!" And, look at this."
He was referring to the oranges on the table, which had turned into a puddle of red water at the moment, and there were many miserable white and strange-shaped insects lying in the red water, these insects were rare, but they were recorded in many classics, so we all knew it, it was the common sense of cultivators, so let's call it Yin Worm.
Yin insects are the kind of insects that can only be produced in places where yin qi is extremely strong, of course, this kind of yin qi is not the pure yin qi of heaven and earth, but refers to the kind of mixed yin qi where ghosts and things gather!
It is a normal scavenging insect that likes to live in the cemetery and is polluted by yin qi! There is a saying that where there are Yin worms, there must be powerful ghosts, because only where there are powerful ghosts can one or two Yin worms be born.
This kind of insect is the kind of scavenging worm, that is, they like carrion or something, but once they become yin insects, they are 'raw and cold', and fresh meat is also their favorite, especially live animals.
Ruyue twisted up a yin insect and snorted lightly: "The body is very cold, this kind of insect is also extremely vicious when used as a Gu worm, but in modern times, except for a few rural areas that still retain burials, it is no longer easy to find, 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?" β
"The important thing is that it actually fooled my eyes and turned into an orange?" Cheng Yuan's face became extremely ugly, just because she bought the oranges, but she was a Taoist aunt, and she actually fell in love with this kind of way.
This kind of insect Ruyue has said, it is also an extremely vicious kind of Gu worm, imagine the consequences of swallowing, starting from the internal organs to be gnawed?
I suddenly felt a deep sense of exhaustion, lay on the pillow, and said, "Isn't the forbidden place where yin qi gathers the lake of ten thousand ghosts?" I provoked a great existence this time, I promised, it not only deceived your eyes, but also deceived the eyes of all of us, you know the so-called blinding method, in fact, it is an illusion that acts on the soul, maybe the person who has not been spelled has seen that you came back with a bag of red water. "I don't know what that red water is, and I don't want to think about what it is.
"I'll deal with this, Brother Chengxin, you can help Chengyi expel the poison first." Xiao Chengqian sighed, he said that he also saw it just now, but he didn't say what he saw, everyone was frightened by this strange scene.
As the heir of the mountain lineage, I am afraid that I am even more aggrieved in my heart, and I was actually made suspicious by a ghost, and I was as frightened as ordinary people.
ββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββββββ
Exorcism is a painful process, so painful that I don't want to think about that ordeal, to be specific, like a person doing surgery while awake, and in the process of constantly cooperating with the doctor.
Two hours later, the trash can at Brother Chengxin's feet was still full of black blood, emitting an indescribable smell of gauze, which made the smell of the whole room a little unpleasant, until Xiao Chengqian went to open the window, and the cool breeze outside the window blew in, and the air in the whole room became a little fresher, and at this time Brother Chengxin was helping me with medicine.
In the whole process of detoxification, he has actually been helping me to apply all kinds of medicine powder to force poison, or use acupuncture, or other methods, this should be the last medicine, every handful of medicine powder sprinkled on my back, I feel as if the meat on my back has become a teppanyaki, 'snorting' sound, that taste is after the operation, and the taste of waking up the wound.
"These medicinal powders are enough to remove a small amount of residual poison from your body, your body is very weak now, I want to go back, some of the medicinal materials we found in the old forest last time, including the roots of ginseng essence, I have basically dealt with them, and I was originally prepared to prepare them into pills after this trip is completed." It seems that this time it can't be delayed, I have to go back first. Brother Chengxin said to me solemnly, while bandaging my wounds.
I'm tired to an extreme, after all, the whole process of detoxification is a great test of body and mind, when he spoke, I grabbed the mirror next to the pillow, and glanced at myself, my face in the mirror is still pale, but it has become the pale of a normal person, not the kind of pale that has lost its vitality, it seems that Brother Chengxin is successful.
But I'm very worried about Brother Chengxin's thing about going back, it's the ghost Rakshasa that is eyeing us, that's a real 'kraft candy' like a ghost thing, staring at you, it's a ghost thing that doesn't stop until the goal is reached, if Brother Chengxin puts the order, I don't dare to imagine the consequences.
"This time, it's the Ghost Rakshasa who is eyeing us." I lay my head on the pillow, and the sound of exhaustion came from the pillow.
There was silence in the room, and I added, "The orange must be a temptation!" β
The silence in the room continued!
