The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 33 Secret Realm ([-])

The ones Xia Xiangxi had seen were all dark black and not too big.

The scorpions in front of them were different, they were three times the size of ordinary scorpions, and their color was also a rare crimson red.

Just like the more beautiful the mushroom, the more poisonous and inedible it is, the scorpion in front of me is not only beautiful in color, but also scary enough in its head.There are so many poisonous scorpions with their tail hooks raised high. As long as their tail hooks sink down and hook into the human body, the poison released is definitely not scary!

But the old man just let those scorpions wander around him like that, even if a few harmless flies entangled him like this, it would make people angry, let alone a poisonous scorpion?

Xia Xiangxi was so frightened that she couldn't say a word.At this moment, she actually felt itchy on the back of her hand, and quickly raised her hand to have a look, but it really frightened her out of her wits.She can't even describe the horror she felt at that time.

At some point, on the back of her hand, a black spider covered with long purple-black hairs climbed up, not to mention that she had never seen it before, judging from the size of that spider, she could also conclude that it was a spider. This species of spider is one of the most venomous spiders in the world.Especially when such a spider appeared on the back of her hand, it was self-evident what an extremely unpleasant thing it would be.

Xia Xiangxi's body stood stiff like a wooden stick, trembling.The old man smiled at her, bowed his body, and dusted the back of Xia Xiangxi's hand with something like a feather duster, and the spider fell to the ground. After that, the spider quickly crawled towards the old man and climbed up. His knees climbed up to his body.

Xia Xiangxi clearly saw that the spider crawled under the old man's side, as if it had returned to its own nest, and lay there motionless.Xia Xiangxi's scalp went numb for a while, and his eyes became dizzy.But when the old man gestured to her to let her sit down, no matter how scared she was, she still had the courage to sit on the animal skin blanket.

Grandpa said that it is a blessing, not a disaster, and a disaster cannot be avoided.At this moment, Xia Xiangxi comforted herself with her grandfather's words.

The old man didn't speak for a while, there was a sound of flint colliding, sparks splashed, and the old man lit an oil lamp with that ancient way of making fire.Even if the light is faint, it is better than nothing.

The old man picked up a wooden box, which was about the size of an ordinary mobile phone. Before opening the box, the old man held the box in his hand, his expression was very majestic, and he was muttering something.

He might be reciting a spell, but Xia Xiangxi couldn't understand it.Following some ancient ritual, the old man prostrated himself on the ground, stretched his arms forward, held the wooden box with his palms up, and approached Xia Xiangxi.

Xia Xiangxi was stunned for a long time, wondering if the old man meant for her to take the box.She didn't know this old man, let alone his background, so she didn't dare to take his things casually.

Grandpa said that in the territory of the Miao nationality, you can't eat what others give you; you can't pick up what others throw on the ground.Because that might be nothing else but someone else's Gu on you.Or the Gu that others don't want to raise.As long as you are greedy, what you get in return may be a disaster that cannot be redeemed.

Seeing that Xia Xiangxi refused to accept the box, the old man didn't force it. He bent his body like a shrimp, and opened the box, and a burst of fresh fragrance filled the air.Only the box was empty!
Xia Xiangxi thought it was a little funny. Just now, when he saw this old man's extremely pious appearance, he thought it was some precious thing?Seeing that it was an empty box now, Xia Xiangxi thought that in the future, when she talked about this matter, others would laugh out loud like her!

The old man gestured to Xia Xiangxi, Xia Xiangxi followed the old man's gesture and looked towards the bottom of the box, and she was stunned.See that the box is not empty!

In the lower part of the wooden box, there is a dark red button-sized thing, that thing is still moving, it is a living thing!

Its shape is like a human heart.Its movements are just like the beating of a heart, its color is gradually changing, from dark red to bright red, it looks like blood is about to drip out.

When Xia Xiangxi saw it clearly, she immediately concluded that it was the heart of a bird.But why the bird's heart can still beat alive in the box without the bird's body, and her brain has turned into a paste, which cannot be explained clearly!

Seeing this unbelievable thing, Xia Xiangxi's eyes widened, almost without blinking.

Then, she saw that there were two very thin filaments slowly coming out from the inside, twisting and dancing like snakes under the sound of a piper's flute.It was also like the tentacles of some kind of animal. The two strands crawled out of the wooden box. It was too late when Xia Xiangxi noticed it. The strands stuck to the back of her left hand where the spider crawled before. Something like a bird's heart jumped out of the box and stuck to the back of her hand. She was frightened and broke the bird's heart, turning it into a pool of bright red blood, which directly seeped into the water. Getting into her skin, Xia Xiangxi screamed in fright, it was too late to remedy it, the bird heart was like dew dripping from the leaves into the soil, penetrated into the soil, and could never be found again.

The old man smiled happily when he saw the bird's heart melt into Xia Xiangxi's hand like blood. When he smiled, he looked uglier than when he didn't smile, and there was an indescribably weird feeling.

Xia Xiangxi was almost scared to death, she intuitively felt that the bird's heart-like thing should be Gu.The old man stood up with a relaxed face, and strode towards the door. After opening the grass door, he let out a roar, which was like the roar of a wild animal.After his voice settled down, cheers like waves sounded.Just like the cheers after a war is won!
It was only then that Xia Xiangxi felt that both Grandpa and Ma Po had guessed wrong. What she encountered was not a ghost begging for marriage, but a ghost marriage Gu!
Or it can't be said to be a ghost, because they all have the same body temperature as normal people.

When it was mentioned later, Ma Po gave another way of saying that she was a fairy of the Miao nationality.The reason why Xia Xiangxi came to another world inexplicably was because she was attracted by the immortals of the Miao nationality and asked her to be the inheritor of Gu.It is a great honor!

When Xia Xiangxi heard Ma Po's argument, he almost vomited blood.What kind of honor is that?She is absolutely not rare.

It was a statement from Grandpa that made Xia Xiangxi more willing to believe it.That is the theory of time and space.Grandpa said that the world is actually composed of many time and space, people live in one space, and other creatures live in other spaces.

When Xia Xiangxi heard what her grandfather said, she still murmured quietly in her heart, did her grandfather also learn from her and secretly watch those time-travel dramas?Grandpa turned out to be keeping pace with the times!

Grandpa probably saw Xia Xiangxi's thoughts at this time, so he tapped Xia Xiangxi's head lightly with the smoke pot, and said a little reproachfully, "You ghost girl, what are you thinking?"

Xia Xiangxi asked grandpa where did he know about the theory of space?Grandpa said he heard it when he was young!He once had a comrade in the air force. At that time, it was the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Grandpa’s comrade in arms flew a plane to fight the American devils on the Korean battlefield. As a result, the plane lost its radar signal after flying into the clouds. He was flying in the blind spot for more than ten minutes before he finally found the radar signal, but when he landed on the ground, he found that the world had changed. The world he was familiar with no longer existed, and people lived happily in a peaceful society. China survives, and when it comes to the Korean War, it is said that it was decades ago.

Later that person met his former old friends and saw that they were all old, but he was still young. He only flew blindly in the clouds for ten minutes, but because of this, he missed more than twenty years of his life... …

What Grandpa said, Xia Xiangxi vaguely remembered something like this in a foreign novel, where the protagonist strayed into the gap between time and space.

It was easier for Xia Xiangxi to accept his grandfather's statement.Because she never felt that what happened that night was a dream of hers.Even though she came to that world inexplicably and then left inexplicably, it was as if she just took a nap in place.

However, when she accidentally heard the conversation between Grandpa and Ma Po, she heard another statement from Grandpa, saying that she was confused by the fox.Because she never left them for half a step, the words she said were all nonsense spoken by the bewildered.

Ma Po said, "Then why are you still talking to her?"

Grandpa said: "I know she likes to watch those TV shows that travel through time and space, so I just said it according to her mind and coaxed her to be happy!"

Xia Xiangxi was like breaking into a fog, and she didn't know whether she was as confused as her grandfather said, or everything that happened was true?In addition to truly remembering everything that happened that night, it was as real as if she experienced it personally. It was true that after the bird's heart melted into her skin, she suddenly returned from that mysterious place to the place she met. The first moment of the group of weirdos.It was like a dream that she really had when she dozed off!

Grandpa and Ma Po were still talking about the ghost asking her to marry her, but she was still standing there, as if she never left.

When Grandpa anxiously patted his forehead and scolded himself, Ma Po inadvertently glanced at Xia Xiangxi's shadow on the ground and said, "Isn't it all right?"

Grandpa also saw Xia Xiangxi's shadow, and angrily blamed Ma Po, saying that his old man's eyes were blurred, but she was not an old lady, so she couldn't see clearly because of her eyesight, which frightened him for nothing!
When Xia Xiangxi talked about what she experienced in an instant, both grandpa and mother-in-law listened carefully, and after listening, the two of them made serious comments.Ma Po said that she must have met a fairy from their Miao nationality, and Grandpa said that she had entered the gap between time and space.After talking for a long time, the two old men dared to treat her like a child there!
Xia Xiangxi sighed, thankfully they returned to the Miao village safely before dawn, and nothing else, whether they were talking or not, was of little value.

However, when she looked seriously at the back of her left hand under the moonlight, a red color like a bird's heart was faintly visible through her skin!
