List of strange talismans

Chapter 9 Tentacles
Gu Xiuya's empathy didn't work.

Mr. Yan finally left, she took away a gold coin for inspection, did not reveal any secrets, and before leaving, she messed up Gu Xiuya's hair as punishment.

Obviously, in the eyes of Mr. Yan, Gu Xiuya is still just a child.

Gu Xiuya didn't care about this, he had plenty of time, and he believed that sooner or later he would get what he wanted and gain real knowledge.

What's more, he has another choice.

Gu Xiuya closed his eyes, opened his fingers and brushed the long box.

The gold coin rubbed against his fingertips, and it felt cold to the touch.

one, two
Fingers gradually go deeper and touch the bottom.

Gu Xiuya suddenly felt that the spine was slightly hot, and the heat flow continued to rise, rushing to the fingertips in agitation.

A chaotic voice began to float in his ear, vaguely urging him...to eat.

found it.

Gu Xiuya opened his eyes, squeezed out a gold coin and looked at it in front of his eyes.

This is a long gold coin, with some kind of flower pattern engraved on one side, and the head of an old man on the other side. The engraving is not very delicate, and it doesn't look much different from the other gold coins in the box.

The only difference is that this gold coin is older than other gold coins, it is stained with some kind of unknown liquid, it looks gray, and it doesn't reflect light in the sun.

Gu Xiuya rubbed it with his fingers, but it didn't rub off, but it caused the heat to become more restless.

It couldn't help but remind him of the first time he got something like this.

It was not long after he moved into Shuntian temple, he accidentally discovered that the heat in his body seemed to be very interested in the incense burner in the Taoist temple.

Whenever he passed the censer, the heat flow would be restless for no reason.

After some experiments, Gu Xiuya finally determined that the source of the heat flow and restlessness was not the incense burner itself, but the three agglomerated incense ash in the incense burner that condensed into the shape of water droplets.

Since he didn't know the reasons, Gu Xiuya cautiously didn't make any attempts, but consciously suppressed the restlessness in his body and kept away from the incense burner as much as possible.

At first, his method did work.

But as time went by, the restlessness of the heat stream grew stronger.In the end, it even developed to the point of having auditory hallucinations, and some nagging voices began to appear in his ears, luring him to swallow those incense ashes.

Gu Xiuya endured it for several days, but he still couldn't hold it back. He got up in a daze in the middle of the night, and swallowed a big mouthful of incense ash.

When he woke up by the incense burner the next day, recalling this incident, he discovered that the heat flow in his body had unknowingly undergone a certain change, giving birth to the ability to 'assimilate and strengthen biological physique'.

What the hell is this liquid?
Gu Xiuya looked down at the gold coin in his hand, the dark liquid radiated from the surface of the gold coin, like frozen ripples.

Ok?
Not knowing if it was an illusion, Gu Xiuya felt the liquid on the surface of the gold coin suddenly squirm.

He looked carefully, only to find that it was not dazzled.

On the surface of the gold coin, a needle-sized liquid wriggled slowly, broke free from its restraints, and floated in the air.

Followed by the second drop, the third drop.

More and more liquid came to life from stillness, staggering away from the gold coin and rising into the air.

For a moment, Gu Xiuya's eyes were almost filled with gray spots.

This strange liquid seems to have some kind of light-absorbing properties, even in the sun it is still gray and gloomy, they float in mid-air, twisted and entangled, and stretched longer and longer.

Other objects in the line of sight seemed to be affected by some kind of influence, and began to become distorted and weird.

Only then did Gu Xiuya realize that he had entered the real world alone without the influence of the embers.

Including the bug swarm, all the changes in front of my eyes are hallucinations and signs caused by the real arrival.

But this is simply impossible!Why can a human being enter the real world independently?
Also, why didn't the sun disappear?
Gu Xiuya saw the sun shining on the quilt, but it was no longer warm.

He felt a little confused.

This weird world seems to be full of malice towards him. Whenever he consciously has a certain understanding of something, there will always be various unexpected situations that overturn his original deduction and make him fall into a trap. confusion.

"Ignorance is protection."

At this moment, Gu Xiuya suddenly had a new understanding of what Mr. Yan said.

He sighed in his heart, but without hesitation, he stretched out his hands to his forehead, calling for heat flow.

This time the feeling was completely different from before. Gu Xiuya felt something flowing through the blood vessels, but it was no longer as light as nothing, but had a certain quality and shape.

He closed his eyes to feel it, and a picture appeared in his mind.

That's a tentacle.

A slender and soft tentacles like a vine.

It extends from the tailbone, passes through the five internal organs, diverges along the blood vessels, spreads all the way through the whole body, and gathers at the spine.

Gu Xiuya thought of that tree root that hurt his feet.Then I felt a little itchy throat.

He saw the tentacles poke in from the top of the cervical spine, climb up the cheeks, and come to the forehead.

He couldn't help but reached out and touched his face, and found that the skin was smooth and delicate, without any bumps, as if the picture in his mind was just an illusion.

hum!
Gu Xiuya suddenly saw stars in his eyes.

He felt a slight tingling pain, and then realized that the tentacle pierced his forehead.

The hardest calcification of human beings is as fragile as a film in front of this antennae. It gently penetrates into the skull, shakes lazily for a moment, and finally flattens out, completely entangled with the gray matter of the brain, without distinction.

Gu Xiuya felt a little heavy in his head, as if something was growing.

He pressed his temples silently and waited until he felt better before opening his eyes again.

The next moment, he found that the strangely floating liquid in front of him had changed.

No, not change.The liquid itself has not changed in any way, what has been changed is his cognitive ability.

Gu Xiuya seemed to have received a divine revelation, and at this moment he realized for no reason.

He recognized the essence of the liquid, which was clearly a message.

A kind of information that he can't analyze at the moment, beyond the range of ordinary people's cognition.

The greatest and most dangerous thirst for knowledge of human beings burst out at this moment, and Gu Xiuya couldn't restrain a thought in his heart.

"It would be nice to be able to recognize that kind of information."

With this thought, Gu Xiuya suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head.

"Mr. Gu?"

"Mr. Gu!"

The call came suddenly, and a figure in a white coat gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

Gu Xiuya shook his head, realizing that he had escaped from the real world and returned to reality at some point.

"what's up?"

He touched his forehead and asked the doctor in front of him in a low voice.

"Let me see how you are."

The doctor wearing glasses frowned and looked at Gu Xiuya, as if confirming his mental state.

After a while, the doctor suddenly asked, "What bit your cat?"

"I do not know."

The doctor looked at Gu Xiuya: "No, you know."

"Do you have a mental illness? You bit your cat when you were sick, and ate the bitten meat."

"We've checked the cat's wound marks, and the tooth arrangement basically matches that of a human."

"."

Gu Xiuya glanced at him, and was silent for his genius idea of ​​being both right and wrong.
