Mystery Leaks

Chapter 256
"Cultivators may not disappear, but in the age of the Dharma, it seems that practitioners cannot grow, but you are obviously an exception." I replied.

"Haven't you heard a saying that there is no unparalleled road to man?" Niubi said lightly, implying something.

"Yes, I have been taught." I said, slightly touched in my heart.

There is no unparalleled road, this sentence is true, there will be exceptions in everything, but the road to go must be difficult and dangerous, there are many mountains and mountains, and few people can escape.

"I came here to find the Gu girl and get back something that belongs to my Miao Jiang. I don't want to cause any karma. I think we can reach a deal." Niubi said.

"Tell me."

I turned my mind slightly. As a cultivator, he is also afraid of cause and effect. This shows that he is not completely out of the category of Dharma practice.It is still very taboo for the scourge, and be careful not to take the lives of people who have nothing to do with it.

This is a good thing, at least he won't kill people easily.

The most important thing is that he actually said that there is something on Wang's body that belongs to his Miao Jiang. From this point of view, he guessed right before.Wang Shi is not an authentic Gu girl, but got some very powerful item that can control and control Gu insects, no wonder there was no clue no matter how hard she searched before.

"Help me find the Gu girl, and I'll help you control the Gu insect, and I guarantee that it won't endanger your life. After catching the Gu girl, let him help you solve the Gu girl. This is both a business and a cooperation, how about it?" Niubi said. Said.

I shook my head, "I'm sorry, I don't know where she is, if I knew, I would have killed her long ago."

"What if I say she will come to you?" Niubi's lips curled up slightly.

When I heard this, I frowned immediately. I had guessed before this point that Mrs. Wang would not be reconciled even in the end and was seducing me. My intuition told me that she would definitely come back to find me.

I didn't expect Niubi to say it out loud, which made me wonder how he knew it, and he looked so sure.

After finishing speaking, he put a small jade bottle in front of me, and said: "If she comes to you, open this jade bottle, remember my words, the voodoo girl will not be eliminated, and all of you who have been infected by the voodoo will die without burial." place." At the end of the sentence, his gaze became sharper.

After that, he got up, turned around and left, and said: "I will give you the short gun as a gift, so you don't need to hide it!"

I was surprised when I heard that he already knew about the death of the tattooed man, and he also knew very accurately that the short gun was in my hand at this moment, facing him.

This made my hair stand on end. This person is not simple. Only a few people knew about the fact that the tattooed man was poisoned to death, and he actually found out in just one day.

Not only is the force powerful, but the mind is also extremely meticulous.

Looking at the jade bottle in front of me, I fell into deep thought, should I believe him for a while.

Judging from his previous actions, although he is strong, he is not a person who kills indiscriminately, and he is very restrained in his actions.

The current situation is that I have to find Wang Shi to let her relieve the gu, but the problem is, if she wants to kill herself, it's just a matter of thought, and coercion is also very convenient?

If there is no Niubi to help, how can Wang promise us?
Niubi's promise to me seems to be the only feasible way.

I don't know why, but I always feel repulsed by him, maybe because of his strong sense of oppression, or maybe it's because fellow practitioners repel each other.

After thinking about it, I found a mineral water bottle, carefully put the jade bottle into it, tightened it tightly, and never touched it; the ghost knows what's inside, if it's not ten thousand, it's just in case, it's better to be careful.

……

The next day, after finishing the update, I fell into a drowsy sleep, and Huang Mao called and said that Hu Lai had returned.

I didn't say anything, I immediately lifted the quilt and got up, and rushed to the new house.

Among all the people, Hu Lai knew Niubi the best, and he had to listen to his opinion on what to do. Strictly speaking, Niu Bi came here because of a letter from him.

When I arrived at the new house, I saw that Hu Lai's face was full of dust, his skin was red from being scraped by a cold knife, and his mouth was cracked. It seemed that he had suffered a lot in the past few days.

Huang Mao and Cao Nan were describing Niubi's appearance and attire to him, and Cao Nan asked, "Is that him?"

Hu Lai nodded affirmatively: "It's him. I heard other Miao people call him Naguzha, and he has a high status in the Miao Village."

"Na Gu Zha, what do you mean?" Huang Mao asked curiously.

"I don't understand Miao dialect, especially Sheng Miao. They only have first names but not surnames. Anyway, they have such a Chinese accent." Hu Lai shook his head.

"Then how did you meet him?" I asked.

Hu Lai took a sip of hot water and said, "It was about three years ago. I drove a horned worm through Miaojiang. At that time, the horned worm was frightened and ran quickly, so I chased it with my head covered. I didn't know Why did I break into the Miao village where Naguzha was, and was surrounded by his clansmen, who almost killed me as an intruder, what's more, I couldn't understand the language, I made gestures for a long time and they couldn't understand what I was talking about I couldn’t understand what they were shouting; finally Naguzha appeared, he knew Chinese, although it wasn’t standard.”

"Then he invited you to spend the night in the Miao Village?" Huang Mao said.

"Yes." Hu Lai nodded, and said, "During the time surrounded by them, the horned insects didn't know what happened, so they just got under the ground of their village and didn't move. I chased them all day and night, and I was so tired." , so I agreed; in fact, I can't help it, Shengmiao is not easy to deal with, and when you meet them, it's best not to disobey their wishes."

"What happened later?" Cao Nan asked.

Hu Lai also took a sip of water, and said: "Later, I stayed in Miao Village. Naguzha was very interested in the outside world. He knew that the bug driver was running around everywhere, so he chatted with me about outside things, anyway. It’s not bad, he treated me warmly; at noon the next day, Hornworm set off again, so I said goodbye and left, just a chance encounter.”

I nodded. It sounds like Niubi is not bad, at least he shouldn't be considered bad.But then again, if you know people, you don't know your face, and you don't know your heart. I'm afraid you won't see anything from a one-sided relationship.So he asked: "Then do you think this Na Gu Zha can be trusted?"

After I finished speaking, I told the story of Niubi coming to me yesterday and asking for a "deal".

Hu Lai shook his head, and said: "It should be said that Naguzha is a person who meets by chance and makes friends and is friendly, then there should be no problem, but if there is a conflict of interest, it's hard to say; in terms of benevolence, righteousness and morality, it is far from enough to grow seedlings." We, their ethnic groups are used to deterrence by force, the weak submit to the strong, and we cannot speculate on them with our own ethics."

I nodded slowly and said, "That is to say, if there is a conflict of interest, he will become very dangerous. If it is cooperation, then this person is just so-so, can you understand it this way?"

"That's about it."

Hu Lai nodded, and said: "In short, we have to be careful. He is so powerful. Once there is a conflict of interest, no matter whether he uses force or Gu, we will not be able to resist him."

I frowned slightly, although Hu Lai had the most right to speak, but in the end it was just a one-sided relationship. It is said that it takes a long time to see people's hearts, and no one will show their true colors at the first meeting.It's still the same sentence, know people, know faces, but don't know the heart.

"Then Leizi, do you want to cooperate with him?" Cao Nan asked me.

I thought for a while, and said, "Let's play it by ear. If Wang Shi wants to harm me, then I will not be polite, but if Wang Shi has room for change, it's fine. After all, there is no evidence that she has done anything. It's unreasonable. Naguzha can't listen to one side or believe it."

"Ah."

Cao Nan nodded, and said: "That's true. Let's talk about Feng Sanshun. It was said that he was alive and kicking yesterday afternoon. There's nothing wrong with it. It seems that Mrs. Wang is not a last resort, nor does she want to harm anyone."

"Since you know what's in your mind, it's fine, it's still the same sentence, be careful in everything." Huang Mao warned.

I nodded, and after we chatted for a few words, the topic shifted to the matter of hunting for insects who came here.

To our surprise, Hu Lai actually said that the worm he found this time was the horned worm he lost in Miaojiang four years ago.

In the past few years, the horned worm has been cruising between the sea and the land, and it has become an adult. Unfortunately, it only found its traces and breath, but did not catch up.

I didn't know what to say for a while, I hoped that Hu Lai would come back soon, because we couldn't do without him now, and I also hoped that he could kill a real grown-up tiger as soon as possible.

This is the lifelong wish of an insect exorcist. As an insect exorcist, Hu Lai has been staying in Jinpen Township to help him for the past six months, which is already very interesting.

Although he kept saying that he wanted to catch the worm expelling master hiding in the dark, it was obviously a delay. The python had already been intercepted and killed, and the worm treasure had also been taken away.See or not, in fact, it doesn't make much sense.

Afterwards we chatted for a while, and Hu Lai went to bed. He had been traveling back and forth these days, but he hadn't closed his eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot.

……

Ten days have passed since then.

Niubi had disappeared since he spoke to me that night, and seemed to be patiently waiting for me to notify him that Mrs. Wang appeared.

After Wang escaped, there was no news at all, and he never came to see me or Feng Daniu.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Jinpen Township maintains a strange calm.

I knock on watch and do business every day, and I am very busy. Almost all the young people who work outside have come back, waiting for the Chinese New Year. The business is no longer divided into street and market, and there are many customers every day.

Fortunately, Meng Shuisheng is on winter vacation and came to help me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't even have time to sleep.

I even thought, why don't you work so hard and sell the gold bricks and jade pieces that you got out of the Guxiu cave last time, that would be a lot of money.

But I didn’t dare in the end, because Huang Mao said that this kind of windfall has heavy karma, so don’t use it lightly. If you have to use it, then use it up in one go, don’t have a second time, otherwise, the more times you use it, the more karma you will be contaminated. many.

It's approaching the end of the year, the twelfth lunar month of winter.

The rain in the sky turned into snow, which turned the small village of Jinpen Township into a world covered in silver.

The snow is falling like goose feathers. For the warm and humid Lingnan region, snow is rarely seen in ten years.

Just like the Northland!

The children in the village were crazy. They ran out to have snowball fights and build snowmen, having a great time.

Many children are in school and have never seen snow. They have only seen it in books and on TV. Meng Shuisheng built a snowman in front of the store.

The villagers were also amazed, it was the first time they saw Goose Feather Snow in their life.For them, the snow heralds a good year, which is a great thing, and there should be no more droughts in the coming year.

It has been snowing for a whole morning and noon, and there is no intention of stopping at all. The snow on the roof is almost two feet thick.

It was snowing, so I was going to close the door and go out for a walk, but a man rushed in, almost bumped into me, and kicked a big cloud of snow into the shop.

At first glance, it was Cao Nan.

When he saw me, he said anxiously: "No, nonsense, that horned worm is coming towards Jinpen Township."

"what?!"

I was taken aback.here we go again?

Last time a python came and swallowed the iron box in one gulp, this time another horned worm came.

My intuition tells me that this is no coincidence.

It was the worm expelling master who was hiding in the dark, and made another move.He was the one who rushed over the horned worm, so something must have happened to stimulate him.

"Where's Hu Lai?" I asked hastily.

"Hu Lai has gone to the nearest waterway to ambush, hoping to see the insect exorcist hiding in the dark." Cao Nan said, and said: "He told me to be ready at all times. Once I see someone, I will immediately block both ends."

"it is good!"

I nodded heavily, the bug exorcist had been lurking for too long, and finally made another move.

This time, we must find him out to see who the hell is.
