The Golden Silkworm Gu uses twelve species of insects buried at a crossroads. After several days, they are removed and placed in an incense burner. The poison poisons the victim, which is the golden silkworm, causing chest and abdominal pain and swelling, and ultimately death by bleeding from all seven orifices. After the victim dies, the golden silkworms consume the corpse.
I walked outside and watched the golden silkworm Gu running farther and farther away, but suddenly, they all turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated.
Oh my god, this is too weird, why is the Miaojiang witchcraft so scary!
I returned to the bamboo house and examined the deceased. He had been devoured by the golden silkworm Gu beyond recognition. Most of the flesh was gone, leaving only bones. The most terrifying thing was that his intestines were also gone...
"I didn't expect...that he is already dead." Su Xiaoniu sighed slightly.
"Is this the friend you asked me to find?" I frowned.
Su Xiaoniu said somewhat unhappy: "Yes, I originally asked him to do me a favor, but I didn't expect his death to be so sudden... Judging from the way he died, he must have died only a few days ago."
I was shocked and asked, "Did your friend offend someone? Even if he was hiding in a place like this, he would be found and killed by the golden silkworm Gu?"
"He probably hasn't offended anyone, right? After all, he doesn't like to live in groups and prefers to be alone, otherwise he wouldn't have secluded himself in a place like this. Besides, he was a bone painter, one of the Eighteen Chinese Shamans. As long as you have the ashes of a deceased person, he can use them to restore the deceased into a skeleton..." Su Xiaoniu said helplessly, "Originally, I wanted to create a 'golden body' for myself to help me recover faster, but now it seems that's just a pipe dream."
Bone painter? Sounds pretty cool.
I was just imagining how awesome this bone painter was, when suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw a corner of a book page, similar to a piece of paper, sticking out from the belly of the corpse, and vaguely saw two words "bone painting".
"What's this?" I walked over, lifted the body's tattered clothes, and then reached out and slowly pulled out a blue-covered book from the white bones and blood-stained belly. After pulling it out completely, I discovered the words on it: "Bone Painting Technique Book by Cui Han."
"The secret art of bone painting?" Su Xiaoniu seemed surprised, but then she was delighted: "As expected of Old Cui, he left such a treasure to me before he died!"
Left it for you? Oh my god, I clearly ate it all. Even if I die, I want to die with this book. But Su Xiaonu actually thinks that it was left for her on purpose!
But how did this guy manage to eat such a complete book?
Su Xiaoniu suddenly laughed and said, "You don't know this. Cui Han's bone-drawing skills are unparalleled. He can not only draw the bones of the dead, but also the bones of the living, and his drawings are flawless. This bone-drawing book is obviously the bones he drew on his own chest before he died and then put them in."
Now I can only use two words to describe my shock - awesome!
Su Xiaoniu said in a deep voice: "But in this case, we can guess why he was poisoned by the golden silkworm Gu and died."
I nodded. "That person must have wanted to seize the Bone Painting Technique Book, but he never expected that the book had already been eaten by Cui Han..."
Su Xiaoniu corrected him: "It's painted into the belly!"
I rolled my eyes. It was all the same anyway! But who was the one who cast the curse that killed Cui Han? Su Xiaoniu didn't know, and I certainly didn't know! The only thing I knew was that person could cast a curse!
Shaking my head, I wiped the bone painting book clean. Su Xiaoniu laughed and said, "Since we have obtained this bone painting book, it is also God's will! Old Cui can rest in peace. Little virgin, you must study this bone painting secret art well, because I will need it when the time comes."
Just study, why do you always call me a little virgin?
Really!
I hid the bone painting book in my bag and walked around the house. I found myself completely broke. I didn't even have anything valuable. I was really screwed. I wanted to exchange something for some money...
I bowed twice to Cui Han's body, then used the Samadhi Fire to burn his body and the entire bamboo house, turning it into nothingness. Su Xiaoniu had me do this. After all, he had taken someone's treasure, so cremating him wasn't too much of a farewell.
It's better than being exposed in the wild and being eaten by bugs, wild dogs and cats, right?
I said goodbye to Hongyi, left Jiulong Mountain, and took a taxi back to Xitang. The round trip took only two hours. Ning Xue and the others were still at Chen Weiliang's house. When they saw me return, they waved. I went up to ask about the situation and learned that Huo Liang had partnered with Chen Weiliang's family. Chen Weiliang and his wife were planning to move to Jiangzhou to open a Jiaxing Zongzi shop.
This is good news. With the support of the rich behind them, Chen Weiliang's family will not starve to death no matter how bad the situation is. They will not need to go out to borrow money, and the murder mask incident will not happen.
The agreement was that someone would come to Xitang, Jiaxing, to pick up Chen Weiliang and his family for Jiangzhou in three days. Huo Liang asked them and the old woman to make preparations. As for us, we took a bus from Xitang and Jiaxing, heading for Nanning.
During this time, I asked Ning Xue why she came to Xitang, Jiaxing. Ning Xue smiled and said that her main purpose was to hand over the Soul-Snatching Spear to Hong Yi and test its effectiveness. Hong Yi had returned from abroad at the time, so the investigation was stricter, hence the case number and the need for contact. Secondly, she came to kill someone... As for who she killed, or whether she did or not, Ning Xue would not reveal.
At the same time, I was a little drunk. Every time Ning Xue appeared, she would kill someone. Last time in Jiangzhou, she assassinated Luo Qingguo. Now I don’t know who she killed in Jiaxing. Maybe it was the boss of a business group or something like that.
