After vomiting out the yellow water, Du Meiqi was still sluggish, but she no longer complained about pain. Shen Meng checked her pulse, her face obviously relaxed, and she turned around to express her gratitude to the old man.
The old man didn't say anything else. He led Qin Hai and the others into the main hall and went directly behind the Bodhisattva statue. Behind this, there was another layout, with pots and pans, a bed, and a black bird lying on the ground. Cat, as Qin Hai and the others came in, the black cat's shiny black eyes kept staring at them.
"Please sit down!"
Just as Qin Hai and the others were looking at their surroundings, the old man found a few bamboo chairs from somewhere and carried them over with Shi Hu.
When Qin Hai and the others sat down, the old man ordered Shi Hu to boil water again. Shen Meng quickly dissuaded him: "Old man, don't bother, we're not thirsty either. I'm very sorry to disturb you today. There's really no need to be so polite!"
The old man smiled and said: "You are a guest from afar, as you should."
When the old man sat down, Shen Meng said: "Old man, if I read correctly, what Meiqi spit out just now should be a black-winged fly, right?"
The old man had a strange look on his face, "I didn't expect that you also know black-winged flies. Yes, I raised a few as gatekeepers. This girl may have accidentally encountered them just now. It's true that I was too careless. I'm really sorry. .”
Miao Qing had been sitting next to Qin Hai helping him translate Shen Meng and the old man's degeneration. However, after hearing what the old man said, Qin Hai frowned slightly.
There are no humans in this barren mountain, not even a dog. What's more, there is nothing valuable in the ruined temple. The old man even said that he kept the black-winged fly to look after the door. This statement sounds superficial. It's quite believable, but if you think about it more, you'll realize it's nonsense.
In a word, the old man must have known that they were coming, and he had deliberately released the black-winged flies.
This old man is not honest, and he is definitely not a kind person.
Qin Hai remained silent and continued to listen to what the old man said.
"We are too reckless!" Shen Meng smiled slightly and continued, "I have some understanding of Miao Gu, so I just recognized the black-winged fly. Old man, in fact, we came to you today just for Miao Gu. , I wonder if you know about love/gu?"
The old man smiled and nodded, "Love/gu is a very common poison among the Miao people. Of course I know about it."
"Then do you know how to remove love/gu?" Shen Meng asked.
"It's hard to explain. There are actually many kinds of love/gu. I first need to determine what kind of Gu is used to answer your question."
Shen Meng turned around and looked at Qin Hai. At this time, Qin Hai also understood what the old man meant from Miao Qing's explanation. He smiled at Miao Qing and said: "Tell the old man that it's just the two of us and ask him how to be sure. "
After Miao Qing finished speaking, the old man looked at Qin Hai and Miao Qing carefully, then found a needle and handed it over, signaling for Qin Hai to take a drop of blood.
Qin Hai pricked his finger with a needle, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dropped it on a tray that the old man brought over. The old man put the tray on the table and didn't know what liquid he poured on it. After a while, a little The insect crawled out of the drawer of the wooden table and slowly climbed onto the tray
The little bug looked a bit like a maggot and looked very disgusting. Du Meiqi took one look at it and immediately covered her mouth and retched.
Qin Hai was also a little awkward. Could it be that the love/gu in his body was just this kind of thing?
"It's white silkworm Gu!" Shen Meng's eyes lit up and she couldn't stop staring at the little maggot-like insect.
The old man nodded and said thoughtfully: "It is indeed white silkworm Gu. If it is it, I know a way, but -"
Shen Meng said: "Old man, are you having any difficulties?"
The old man sighed, "Actually, I don't know whether I should tell you or not. A few years ago, someone asked me how to get rid of love/gu. He also had white silkworm Gu, but after I told him the method I never saw him again... If I guessed correctly, he should be dead."
"Dead?!" Shen Meng was shocked, "Why?"
The old man said: "White silkworm Gu's favorite food is a plant called five-leaf clover. This plant usually grows in very dark and humid places, such as caves, and is very difficult to find. But as long as you can find five-leaf clover, After crushing it and placing it near the mouth and nose, the white silkworm Gu will crawl out on its own. I once heard from the elders that someone had seen five-leaf clover in a cave on our Niutou Mountain, but that cave was very dangerous. It's easy for something to happen if you're not careful. That person went to the cave after getting the news from me, and I never saw him come out again."
Shen Meng frowned and said, "Besides the five-leaf clover, is there no other way?"
"There may be other methods, but I only know this method." The old man said helplessly.
Shen Meng looked at Qin Hai with some embarrassment, "How about we think of another way? It's too dangerous."
Qin Hai smiled and said: "It's okay, Sister Shen. You ask him where the cave is first. As for whether to go there, we will think about it later."
After Shen Meng finished asking, the old man said: "The cave is not far from Qingyun Temple. It only takes half an hour to walk along the road at the back. There is a monument right at the entrance of the cave, making it easy to find."
Then, the old man personally led Qin Hai and others to the intersection behind the temple and showed them the exact direction.
After Qin Hai and the others said goodbye to the old man, they walked down the mountain road. After about half an hour, a stele appeared in front of them. The words on the stele were mottled and peeled off, but there was indeed a hole behind the stele, which was dark. , it looks very scary.
Du Meiqi was so scared that she hugged Shen Meng's arm tightly, "Auntie, do we really want to go in?"
Shen Meng was also very hesitant. He turned around and said to Qin Hai: "It's too dangerous. Let's think of another way!"
Qin Hai looked back at the hillside and said loudly on purpose: "I'm here now, I must give it a try. You don't have to go in, I can go in alone. If there is any accident, you can help me in time."
While talking, Qin Hai took out his mobile phone and edited a message, then put the mobile phone in front of Shen Meng.
Shen Meng was shocked after seeing it, and immediately turned back to look up the hillside. Qin Hai shook his head slightly at her, and Shen Meng immediately understood and said loudly: "How about that? If we want to go in, let's go in together, so that we can take care of each other."
Immediately afterwards, several people got into the cave one after another, walked about ten meters inside, and hid behind a big rock.
Shen Meng stood behind Qin Hai and asked, "Is there really someone following us?"
Qin Hai looked at the cave entrance angrily and whispered: "Come here!"
At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the entrance of the cave. The person who came was very careful and walked very slowly, but even the slightest footsteps could easily be loud in an environment like a cave.
For a moment, all the girls behind Qin Hai were worried and looked nervously towards the exit.
