Chapter 220 Unbreakable Gu Formation
I don't know how the gun in Xian Hongye's hand was conjured up, but it does seem to have the effect of deterring the man in black.

After a stalemate for a while, the man put the gourd on the ground and raised his hands high to express his compromise.

Xian Hongye continued to order: "Get out! Get out!"

The man stepped backwards out of the Palace of Medicine King, but he did not leave, but looked at the gourd unwillingly.

Seeing the man's nostalgia, Xian Hongye immediately said to Grandma Sailiu: "Grandma, don't you have scorpion Gu? Immediately set up a Gu formation, and if this person dares to come in, he will be stung to death."

Xian Hongye's words brightened the eyes of the panicked Sailiupo.

She immediately stretched out her hand, took out the black-red "egg" and chanted a spell at it.

Following the incantation, the "egg" stretched into a scorpion again, crawled out of Sailiupo's hand, and walked towards the door.

Then, a surprising and disgusting scene happened.

In this originally clean and dry Yaowang Temple, countless scorpions suddenly sprang out. Those scorpions sprang out from the cracks in the bricks, between the tiles, and from the lower reaches of the chair backs. There were red and black, white and blue, all kinds of scorpions The species gathered into an "army" of scorpions, and then they all stood on the threshold of the Yaowang Palace, bundled up their sting needles, and "demonstrated" against the man in black in a spectacular manner.

There were more and more densely packed scorpions, and the people watching were shielded from their bodies, which made the man in black completely give up his plan to spy on the gourd.

The man in black snorted, then retreated into the dark night, living lifelessly.

After the man left, Xian Hongye, who was under too much mental stress, slumped on the ground. I turned to look at her, and said in disbelief, "Why do you have a gun?"

Xian Hongye shook her head in the darkness, and threw the "gun" in her hand out of the shadows.

All of us saw that it wasn't a gun, it was a broom bump.

The feared killer was tricked by Xian Hongye in a dramatic way.

But even so, even when the man in black left for a long time, no one moved, everyone gasped heavily, their nerves tensed, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Fear still hangs over us.

In the strange silence, after an unknown amount of time, Wang Hou, who was "pressed" on the acupuncture points, coughed a few times, and slowly sat up from the ground.

After Wang Hou stood up, his spirit seemed to have suffered some unknown blow, his eyes became gloomy, fearful...deep.

In the end, Wang Hou sat up and turned his head to the Great Sage Xitian who had peed his pants in the fight just now.

The great saint looked at Wang Hou's ashen face, suddenly shook his head and said, "It's not mine! I don't know who he is! I won't dare to tell lies this time..."

I thought Wang Hou would press the Great Sage of the Western Paradise, but the strange thing is that Wang Hou didn't do that. On the contrary, he didn't say a word, but turned around and fell into deep thought again.

Under the slight moonlight, his expression was hazy and distorted, making me even more confused, but I felt that he might have noticed something from the man in black, but I couldn't be sure, so I fell into a dilemma of thinking .

So, I stretched out my hand to caress Wang Hou's back, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Do you feel that person..." Wang Hou said only half of what he said, then he shook his head, then paused and said: "...It's too powerful, next time we meet it will be very dangerous, let's take some precautions."

I don't know why, but I feel that what Wang Hou wanted to say in the first half of the sentence is not what he meant.

After Wang Hou said these words, he quickly returned to normal. He stood up, carried the semi-conscious Batulu into a chair for treatment, and never mentioned anything about the man in black again.

Along with Wang Hou's recovery, we gradually woke up from our fear.In order to prevent the man from coming back, Sailiu made scorpions crawl all over the door and the broken window sill of the Palace of Medicine King. Anyone who dared to break through the door would be stung by the scorpion so painfully.

With this layer of defense, we all feel a lot more at ease. Although we dare not go out, we no longer worry about someone breaking in.

After turning on the flashlights and candles again, everyone sat cross-legged together again, and everyone stared at the "King of Medicine Gourd" standing on the ground.

We know that all things are caused by it, because of the "Miaojiang Goddess Flower" depicted on it.

If you can open the gourd and take a look, you may know the ins and outs of all these events.

But the key question is... this gourd does not belong to us, and what is contained in the gourd is probably a flower demon who specializes in harming men.

This is very difficult.

Regarding this, I first asked Sailiupo if she could open the gourd for us to have a look.

Sailiupo was very grateful for our help, but this old-fashioned old lady did not agree to my request.

Her eyes were perturbed, and she told me apologetically that it could not be done. She also said that this gourd was the treasure of the medicine king who sealed the seal demon back then. If it was opened easily, it would bring even greater disaster to the village.

The old lady's stubbornness makes me very unhappy, and the legend of the medicine king sealing the seal demon sounds like a nonsense and has no scientific basis at all.

As Sailiu Po ​​shook her head, I was helpless, and Xian Hongye, in order to comfort me, advised me not to read it, because according to her experience in literature and history in college, the things in these fairy tales are often allusions to reality. It's all nonsense.

In this regard, she also gave me an example and said that in the West, there was a story about a humanoid sea monster that could sing.

Legend has it that the sea monster can kill sailors. With the prosperity of science in modern times, many people think that this is just something made up by drunk sailors. The prototype of this legendary monster was discovered in India.

The name of that animal is dugong, and its living habits are exactly the same as the legendary sea monster, but in reality, this kind of dugong is not very good at singing and will not harm people.

After listening to Xian Hongye's lecture, I responded with some displeasure: "Then according to what you said, is it true that Sailiu Po ​​said that there is a flower demon sealed in the gourd?"

"That's not what I meant." Xian Hongye looked at the gourd and said, "But I feel that the things contained in this gourd must be very dangerous."

In this regard, Xian Hongye told us her analysis and understanding of the legend.

The core of the story of the King of Medicine in Xuerong Village is the king of medicine subduing the flower demon, and the core of the flower demon being sealed is this gourd. Although the whole story is bizarre, it tells us a clear message!
The message is that the contents of this gourd are very dangerous and must not be opened easily, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable and it may bring disaster to Xuerong Village.

Hearing this, I was completely speechless. While admiring Xian Hongye's divergent thoughts, I also knew that my idea of ​​opening this gourd was impossible.

But is that enough?I can not be reconciled.
