Miao Keke led the team from the front and spoke very softly. Obviously she didn't want the people behind her to be discovered.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After wandering around the complicated Miao village for a while, Miao Keke led a few people to an independent stilt building surrounded by several large houses.
This stilt building is a bit weird. It’s not that the shape is so different. It’s just that the surroundings of the stilt building are filled with an indescribable smell and a hazy white smoke. In addition, the stilt building seems to be old.
, looks very ghostly.
In front of this stilt building, Miao Keke suddenly stopped and motioned to several people not to approach.
Xia Shang didn't know why, so he heard A Lan explain in a low voice beside him: "This is a place of worship for the clan. The most prestigious Gu Master among the Miao people lives in this stilt building. We all call her the Great Witch. This room
The stilts below are all ponds for breeding voodoo insects. Countless voodoo bugs have grown to the point where they need a host. As long as ordinary people get close, they will be besieged by countless voodoo bugs. As long as one voodoo bug enters the human body
, people will soon be controlled by Gu insects and become a living dead."
Xia Shang took a breath of cold air. He had never been exposed to such things in the previous era.
A Lan continued: "Brother Xia, look at the mist downstairs. As long as you pay a little attention, you can feel that the soil underground is squirming slightly. That is some invisible worms moving in the soil. It feels like
Similar to earthworms, but completely different creatures."
Xia Shang took a closer look and saw that the situation in the mist was exactly as A Lan said.
The mute woman seemed to have heard it too. She looked ahead and hid at the end of the team with some fear.
Xia Shang looked at it and saw Miao Keke clicking a few incense sticks in front.
Xia Shang turned around and asked, "What is she doing?"
"That's the poison-repelling incense. If you want to get close to this stilt building, you must have the poison-repelling incense. Otherwise, no expert of yours can get close to this place. Sister Coco is the only disciple of the great witch, and she knows the art of poison very well. These repelling incense
The Gu incense was all made by Sister Coco herself. It seems that Sister Coco did not lie, she really wanted to take Brother Xia to see the great witch. But..."
A-Lan was still a little worried. Xia Shang looked at her with questions in his eyes.
"But...if the great witch cares about Brother Xia's identity and wants to harm Brother Xia, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I can't guarantee Brother Xia's safety with my ability. Brother Xia, do you want to go in?"
Xia Shang did not hesitate. Since he had already arrived here, how could he back down?
At this time, Miao Keke turned around, gave several people a stick of poison-repelling incense, and warned: "This must be carried with you. I will not be responsible if anything goes wrong."
Xia Shang was the first to take it and followed.
The two women behind him hesitated for a moment, then bravely pushed forward.
Entering the stilt building, everything is no different, but the weird atmosphere is not introduced.
In fact, Xia Shang had predicted that there was a great witch among the old Miao people, which echoed his understanding of ethnic minorities. In his memory, such a character as the great witch should be an old man hiding in a black and gray robe.
The type who is skinny, uses a cane, and speaks with an extremely hoarse voice.
But when Xia Shang actually saw the great witch Miao Keke talked about, Xia Shang was stunned.
This great witch was indeed wearing a black robe and holding a strange cane, but she was far not as old as Xia Shang imagined.
This is a woman in her forties, with no Miao characteristics. Except for the outer robe, the clothes inside the robe are very close to the Han costumes, but there are some less patterns, making it look very simple. However, this simple dress shows off
Considering her extraordinary figure, simply describing her as "concave and convex" is not enough, and using more gorgeous words would be a bit cumbersome. Especially when she took off her black robe hat after seeing Xia Shang and others.
, the moment her long black hair fell down from the hat like a waterfall, the shocking beauty almost made Xia Shang forget to breathe.
However, Xia Shang just appreciated the beauty and didn't have any other thoughts. Not only was Xia Shang's mood calm, but there was also an aura on the other side that was far and near, like a lotus in a pond, you can see
Her beauty cannot be touched. She is suddenly in front of you, but when you want to reach out, you find that she is far away from you.
After a simple meeting, Xia Shang understood that this woman was a very powerful character.
Because Xia Shang could sense an aura similar to that of his second master, Chu Xinru, from her body.
One word to describe it - "bottomless".
Fortunately, the great witch didn't show any aggression at first, and his expression was very calm after seeing Xia Shang.
He didn't speak, let alone signal anything to Xia Shang, he just glanced at Miao Keke.
Miao Keke was very respectful to him. He knelt on the ground and talked about everything before in a hurry, focusing on the things about Jie Gu.
After hearing everything, the great witch's expression did not change much, and he said to Miao Keke: "Inform the chief of the clan."
Miao Keke nodded in agreement and stood up to leave.
But Ah Lan stopped in front of Miao Keke and lowered his voice: "You promised me not to do anything to Brother Xia..."
"I know!" Miao Keke responded in a deep voice, then turned to the wizard, "Master, don't hurt them."
"I have my own sense of propriety!" the great witch responded in a low voice, not knowing what he meant. Before Miao Keke could leave, he added, "Others will go out as well, but this man will stay."
A Lan was not happy when he heard this. He wanted to say something, but Miao Keke stopped him: "Don't contradict the great witch, you should know better!"
As soon as A Lan frowned, she regretted a little, forgetting that she was nothing in front of the great witch, how could she protect others? She shouldn't have come here if she had known earlier.
The mute girl didn't know anything, so she was dragged outside by Miao Keke.
This stilt building is not big, and the room is also very small. Even if there are only Xia Shang and this beautiful wizard, it is still a bit crowded. If the two of them want to catch each other, they only need to take one step forward.
.
Xia Shang didn't know what this woman was thinking. He put his hands behind his back, but the hand hidden in the armhole had already squeezed the trigger of the small crossbow. As long as the other party did something wrong, Xia Shang would not hesitate to take action first.
The great witch said nothing and looked Xia Shang up and down.
At this time, Xia Shang noticed that there was something different about the great witch's eyes. They were black with a hint of blue-green light. The key was that his pupils could contract and expand strangely. They looked a little like a cat and a little like a snake.
Xia Shang thought her eyes were beautiful at first, but now he discovered something strange and couldn't help but feel creepy.
The more you look at those eyes, the more hairy you feel all over your body!
Just when Xia Shang started to break out in a cold sweat, the great witch suddenly closed his eyes.
Xia Shang breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could relax, he saw the other party approaching Xia Shang with his eyes narrowed, lowering his head slightly, and almost pressing the tip of his nose to Xia Shang's neck... (To be continued)
