Gu Juan stood in the forest where the mountain wind was rising, and his clothes were blown to the sound of hunting.

Opposite him was a man with a withered, skinny bamboo pole, sitting cross-legged on the ground in an awkward position, holding a white flesh worm in his hands.

"Please start your show. After a moment of silence, Gu Juan smiled and said, taking his eyes off the disgusting meat worm and looking into the distance.

"The name of this village is Banshan Village...... I was born in Si, grew up in Si, left my hometown when I became an adult, went here to the coastal counties more than 100 miles east to make a living, made an apprentice in the medical hall, a few years later, the old doctor did not give up, accepted me as a closed disciple, and married the only daughter, until the early summer of this year, the father-in-law died of illness and was buried, I became the medical hall Langzhong, although the days are busy and tired, but also satisfied. ”

Gu Juan didn't urge, he listened carefully, and only then did he say a word, "You are from the middle of the mountain village in front, then, you should know that a strange incident called tongue pulling is happening here." ”

The man opened his eyes and looked at Gu Juan, and suddenly grinned again, and his whole face instantly became distorted and terrifying.

Gu Juan looked at that face, sighed and said, "Okay, brother, let's continue to perform, you have to know that you are talking about a terrifying and supernatural story, not cross talk, don't keep smiling in front of me, okay." ”

After a moment, the man retracted his smile and continued in a mechanical and stiff tone, "I do know what the tongue-pulling imp in your mouth is, and it should be in the middle of the village right now. ”

"Oh? ”

"About two months ago, the people of Banshan Village suddenly came to my county, and everyone was frightened, saying that Banshan Village had become an uninhabitable and dangerous place, and then a cavalry officer took over the matter and mobilized dozens of soldiers to investigate the village. ”

"Then there was nothing to say, but fortunately the number of my fellow villagers was not very large, so I temporarily settled them in a dilapidated post station around the county, and I was grateful for the feelings of my fellow villagers, and sometimes I would visit them and offer them some help as much as I could, and it was during this time that I heard them tell stories about tongue-pulling imps. ”

"It's what happened at this time, but it has nothing to do with the tongue-pulling imp in their mouths, it's ......"

The man looked down at the wriggling white flower worm in his hand, and little by little he shoved it back into his mouth, and swallowed it with a grunt.

"After a few visits, I found them to be very strange, and they became a little weirder, if I had to describe them, they seemed to be puppeteers...... Although they are no different from ordinary people in their daily words and deeds, they just give people a very strange feeling, as if there is an invisible silk thread controlling them. ”

"A few days later, a knight came to the infirmary, he looked in pain, his neck was so swollen that he could not even speak, he could only describe his condition to me in writing, I asked him to open his mouth, and found that the real problem seemed to be in his throat, which was full of redness, swelling and ulceration, and looked shocking...... If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, but the bad official's body seems to be several times stronger than that of ordinary people, and even then he can stand up. ”

So I prescribed him some herbs to dispel fire and extract poison and nourish his body, and asked him to decoction and rinse his mouth when he returned...... After a few more days of peace, that morning, as soon as I opened the door of the infirmary, I saw the Timon again, who seemed to be in much better spirits than the last time, but he still closed his mouth and could not speak, and he also took a pen and wrote on a piece of paper, feeling much better, and his throat was still a little sore, and he could not speak. ”

I asked him what other symptoms he had besides a sore throat, and he wrote that he always felt a voice echoing in his ears, as if to make him surrender to his orders, even if he closed himself in the secret room...... I'm just a sloppy doctor, so I can only let him open his mouth, and the fine wood will jam the upper and lower sockets, and help him check the condition in his throat first. ”

When Gu Juan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "What does this have to do with insects, and what does it have to do with the tongue-pulling ghost?"

"It's almost there, it's almost there......," the corners of the man's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but he stopped at the last moment, and sighed lowly, "With the help of the bright sunlight, I looked into his throat, and I was surprised by what I saw, although the initial redness and ulceration were gone, but his throat was full of neat and neat flesh buds, like a baby's tender little fingers, densely distributed on the inner wall of the throat, each bud was red, exuding a full and solid luster. ”

I felt numb in my heart, swallowed my saliva involuntarily, turned around and took out a silver needle and a fine clip from the house, carefully reached into his mouth, gently clamped the root of a meat bud, picked it with a silver needle, and after a while, a small hole broke on the top of the meat bud, and a white fat meat worm was squeezed out of the mouth, struggling hard. ”

"I caught the worm and pulled it out carefully, and saw that it was almost the length of a knuckle, white and soft, like a maggot in a toilet. ”

Gu Juan listened expressionlessly, subconsciously looked at his hands, and found that they were smooth and clean, and he exhaled a long breath of turbid air after not even one eye appeared.

The man continued to speak without any tone, but the speed of his speech became faster and faster, "The moment I saw that bug, my head only felt buzzing, as if I had heard some sound echoing in my ears, which made people upset and uneasy. ”

"My head was clouded, sweating profusely, my eyes widened, and I put the silver needle and the clip into the officer's mouth, and squeezed out the budding worms out of his throat one by one, and laid them on a plate on the table beside me, and in a short time there were more than twenty worms of this size neatly arranged. ”

"As the more insects appeared, the more clear the sound in my ears became, and the whole person seemed to be stunned, desperately pricking the flesh in his mouth, picking out the insects, and throwing them into the plates on the table, one after another, the more I picked, the more ......"

Gu Juan narrowed his eyes violently, and the depths of his eyes lit up with red flames, and he felt that with this person's hissing and low howl, wave after wave of power similar to spiritual shock emanated from his head, rapidly expanding in all directions.

Although there was no direct contact between them, Gu Juan seemed to have been hit by a head-on bombardment, even with his current resistance, he couldn't help but see a faint shadow in front of him.
