Farming, learning Wu, and peace in the world

Chapter 249 Morning Bull
"vomit!"

Within a few minutes of drinking the talisman water, the couple with tanned skin retched each other, and then vomited a puddle of stinky mucus on the ground, and worms could be seen wriggling in it.

A Taoist frowned and picked up the bugs in the mucus one by one.

This kind of worm called Yingying Bug is a relatively common Gu poison, which parasitizes on people and gnaws on the spirit.The reason why it is called the answering insect is that when a person speaks, the answering insect will growl in the stomach.

"My sugar baby came home from herding cattle the day before yesterday, and he complained of stomach discomfort. We don't know who poisoned him." The woman's complexion recovered slightly.

Ikehashisong motioned for the village head to bring some food over, and continued to ask.

However, the couple knew too little information and could not provide any clues.

On the other side, Xiang Jiuxian cast spells several times in a row, but all of them were interrupted in the middle, he couldn't help but wondered: "It's strange, this answering insect seems to have no Gu mother."

"What?" Ikehashi Song asked.

"The blood talisman of my Xingzi Temple is very unique in tracking. If there is a Gu mother, the connection between the mother and child Gu insects will definitely be able to track the location of the Gu mother, but this time the blood talisman did not respond."

The blood talisman of Xingziguan is a method that Ikehashisong is more greedy for. He has been preparing to cooperate with Xiang Jiuxian for a long time, so he learned the blood talisman through Xiang Jiuxian.

Of course he has a better treasure than the blood talisman - the orange gourd, but it's not convenient to take it out now.

The effect of the blood talisman in subduing demons and eliminating demons is remarkable.

But this time it failed. Xiang Jiuxian used the blood of several households suffering from the worm disease one after another to use the blood talisman to track the Gu mother, but the blood talisman did not respond.

"Could it be an answering insect that came out by accident and doesn't have a Gu mother?" Chi Qiaosong speculated, "Chezuo Village is not a remote village, so there is no reason to choose such a village."

In the past, when the evil cultivators used the answering methods, they always chose small villages in barren mountains and mountains, and they could kill the whole village directly to ensure that the news would not leak out.

Chezuo Village is very poor and far from the county seat, but it's really not remote.

There is a national highway not far away, connecting Mokan County and Damaodu County next door. If the horn of a large truck is loud, the sound can be heard in Chezuo Village.

"I don't know." Xiang Jiuxian shook his head, "But without the Gu mother, the answering worm would not be able to survive at all."

At this moment, the village head came in a hurry: "Teacher two, Tang Wa has woken up."

Chi Qiaosong immediately stepped up: "Come on, let's ask Tang Wa, where did he get the answer bug from?"

The scrawny Sugar Boy was still a little dazed and staring. After asking many times, he finally made his words clear: "I went to the lake to herd cows, and the old cow wanted to take a bath, so I rode the old cow down to the lake, and the old cow ran around. I ran to a small island, and then I came back, I didn’t go anywhere, and I didn’t see anyone.”

"Which island is it?"

"I don't know, I was a little sleepy at the time, and followed the old cow to the island in a daze."

"Where did you bathe the old cow by the lake?"

After repeated inquiries, the location of Tangwa's cattle herding was confirmed. In a shallow bay beside Yangfang Lake, the footprints of cattle hooves can still be seen in the mud next to it.

One mile downstream, there is a small island.

It can't be regarded as a small island, but a piece of land the size of a palm, with a few old pagoda trees growing there.

Originally it might have been a small mound, but because the water level of the lake rose and was flooded, it became a lonely island in the lake, with a long slope tail in the south connecting to the shore.

Ikehashisong went straight into the water, wading across the lake and onto the island.

I ran the "Xiaodao Wangqi Technique" secretly, but I didn't see any evil spirits from the small island, and the few old locust trees were also normal, without any trace of evil cultivation.

"How about it, Junior Brother Chi, did you find anything?"

"No."

"That's strange." Xiang Jiuxian didn't know the point, "Without the Gu mother, how did these respondents spread, and they are still spreading even now."

The Taoist held a bag in his hand, which was filled with the echoworms that the villagers vomited up after drinking the talisman water.

One by one, they were black in color, like large toilet maggots, burrowing around in the bag, full of vitality, showing no signs of dying at all.

Through the "Xiao Dao Wang Qi Technique", it can be seen that these maggots have a strong evil spirit.

Moreover, these evil spirits condense and do not disperse, and there are fine spots of light in them. These are the eggs of the answering insects, which will spread to other people as the evil spirit spreads.

Chi Qiaosong frowned and said nothing, followed Xiang Jiuxian back to Tangwa's house.

Xiang Jiuxian was not reconciled, and wanted to use Tangwa's blood to use the blood talisman to track the Gu mother.

After Tangwa vomited the answering bug, he was very weak now. His parents cooked porridge and broth for him—the meat was brought by the village chief, and Tangwa's family couldn't even afford meat.

Seeing that Xiang Jiuxian wanted to poke Tangwa with a needle, and even poked it in from the acupoint of his heart to collect a little heart blood, his parents couldn't bear it, but they didn't dare to interrupt the spellcasting.

Chi Hashisong's eyes fell on Tangwa's arm, and there was a scar on the left arm.

That's left over from the smallpox vaccination.

Although the Great Xia Republic was prosperous in martial arts, several epidemics were also prevalent, which were finally overcome by modern medicine, including smallpox.

And to conquer smallpox, it all depends on cowpox.

His eyes flickered slightly.

Then he watched Xiang Jiuxian cast the blood talisman—like the previous few times, the blood talisman had no response.

Seeing this, Xiang Jiuxian sighed, and was about to clean up the incense table, but Chi Qiaosong stopped him with his hand: "Brother Xiang, maybe, you can try again."

"How to try?"

"Don't use human blood, use cow blood."

"Cow blood?"

"It's the cow that Tangwa used to herd the cow." Chi Qiaosong said, turning to look at the village head, "I remember you said that the cow belongs to your family, right?"

The village chief had an unnatural expression on his face, but he still nodded readily: "Yes, it's my old cow. I see Tangwa is pitiful. He's ten years old and hasn't studied yet, so I'll find him a job."

"Go, go get the cow's blood."

"It's good for the priest to stay for a while. I'll bring the old cow here. You don't have to make a trip yourself." The village head said enthusiastically.

Chi Qiaosong smiled slightly: "I am a warrior-level warrior, and I can run hundreds of kilometers a day without getting tired. Let's go and lead the old cow, and you will lead the way."

"Hey, good." The village chief hurried out, and said to Xiang Jiuxian, "Master Xiang, I'll take the pool to worship the old cow, please wait a little longer."

Waved to Jiuxian: "You go, I'll wait."

So the village head was in front, and Chi Qiaosong was behind, walking towards the village head's house one after the other.

The village head's house is the most conspicuous in Chezuo Village. It is a small rural villa with a large courtyard in front, a row of two-story buildings in the middle, a large courtyard at the back, and a carport next to it. A tractor is parked inside.

On the other side of the building is the cowshed.

"Chi worship, the old cow is in the cowshed, wait a moment, I will go home and carry a water bottle, and I haven't even drank a sip of water from the Taoist chief." The village chief said with a smile.

But Chi Qiaosong stopped him, and said with a half-smile, "I'm not thirsty at the Taoist Priest, there's no need for all these polite things, go take the cow."

The smile on the village head's face froze, and he said bluntly: "I, I have something to do when I go home. How about I ask you to take the old cow away first, and I will be there later, and then I will be there."

"What can be more important than subduing demons and eliminating demons, go, lead the old cow, and we will go and ask the Taoist priest to cast a spell."

Seeing that he couldn't resist, the village chief had no choice but to hold up the old cow. Under Chiqiaosong's gaze, he walked forward with difficulty, looking back at Chiqiaosong from time to time, showing a smile that was uglier than crying.

Just walk back to the villager's house.

As if accepting his fate, the village head shouted loudly: "Master Xiang, I brought you the old cow."
