Chapter 0074 Direct Killing
Mr. Hu's appearance was even more bizarre than the Chen Quan I had seen before.
Looking at Chen Quan's condition, it seemed that the snake was still hidden in his body. It was no different from our blood snake and could be pulled out.
The snake head behind Mr. Hu seemed to have grown together with his skull, and even his brain and the snake's brain were the same.
It was almost dawn and the sound of a cleaning truck could be heard in the distance.
The Wentian Sect's car drove to the bridge head, and He Gu took us directly into the house where the diviner Lao Zhou died.
This is an old two-story courtyard house. Old Zhou died in the main room. The blood has dried up and the door has been replaced.
But standing here, I still feel uncomfortable.
The words that Lao Zhou said before he died seemed to come to my mind all of a sudden.
The young driver carried Mr. Hu directly to the second floor.
He Gu took Niu Er and me to a living room inside. It seemed to be a quiet room. There was no sofa, but it was covered with straw mats and futons.
It seems that when Lao Zhou was setting up the stall and waiting for me last time, He Gu lived here with him.
Niu Er kept pulling me, asking me why I didn't go find him, and said that there were really a lot of fruits on the Wentianzong Mountain.
As soon as we sat down cross-legged, He Gu came in with a basin of water, took out a pill and handed it to me: "Crush it and apply it on the wound."
Following his gaze, I realized that the blood on my hands had already coagulated. I smiled at He Gu and then put my hands in the basin to wash.
The water was warm, but when it was put in, the wound still hurt.
He Ji kept looking at me, his eyes occasionally falling to my lower abdomen.
I knew what he was looking at, so I washed the blood scabs off my hands, dried them, and then pinched the pill powder and sprinkled it on him.
Niu Er was holding gauze and bandaging the wound on He Gu's arm.
Seeing that I had fixed it, he didn't care about my fault and just pulled the gauze to bandage my wound.
My thoughts were a little confused and my head was dizzy, so I didn't want to talk.
Since two people from the Wentian Sect came, I think they have a plan.
By the time we had finished tidying up, the young man who had taken Mr. Hu upstairs had already prepared tea and brought it up along with a few plates of snacks.
There were actually steamed buns and other things. I guess the people from the Wentian Sect also came here overnight, so they were also hungry.
When Niu Er saw food, he grabbed it and ate it.
He Ji just rolled up the sleeves of his Taoist robe and made a gesture towards me: "Long Ling, is this convenient?"
I consciously extended my right wrist.
But just when I raised my wrist, He Ji's gaze fell on the snake bracelet on my wrist, and his eyes darkened.
Without taking the patient's pulse first, he stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch the snake bracelet.
But just when his fingers were about to touch, the fingertips bounced and He Ji's eyes shrank, as if in pain.
He smiled bitterly and said, "This is what came out of the snake coffin. Don't let anyone touch it easily."
I shook the snake bracelet on my wrist and it didn't seem to cause any discomfort.
Originally, Yu Xinhe wanted to touch it, but it seemed that he couldn't.
Is it possible that it will be okay if I wear it on my hand?
"Change your hand." He Ji withdrew his gaze from the snake bracelet and looked at my left hand and said, "Same for the left hand."
I held out my left hand. He felt my pulse while looking at the gauze wrapped around my hand. "Looking at the direction of the cut, it seems like you cut it yourself. Bleeding? Is it to save the girl named Fu Qian? She seems to have given birth to everyone in Huilong Village..."
I heard a low cough, and He Ji seemed to feel that this question was sensitive and it was not appropriate to ask again.
After a long time, he withdrew his hand, looked at me and said, "You have been suffering from a strong internal fire recently, but your Qi and blood are sufficient. It seems that you have taken something to replenish Qi and blood. But this pregnancy..."
He stared at my lower abdomen, and just when I thought he had failed to find my pulse.
Then I heard him say to me in a deep voice, "Very strong vitality! It 's only been half a month since the incident in Huilong Village, and you and the Snake King have been married for only seven days. The snake fetus has only been in your belly for a few days, but the pulse is already formed and the vitality is strong. I'm afraid you may not be able to bear it in the future."
What he said was no different from what Yu Xinhe said.
But He Ji took his hand back, looked at me and said, "Ask the Qin family about rice, and you can see the future. You can try to ask Qin Mi Po about rice. This snake fetus is related to the snake coffin and Mo Xiu Snake King. I think Qin Mi Po is willing to do so."
When He Ji spoke, his emotions were calm and low, but every word seemed to touch people's hearts.
I withdrew my hand, thanked him, sipped my tea, and waited for He Ji to fulfill his purpose.
Gu Fengchun's words confirmed my thoughts. It seemed that Xuanmen had discussed the matter of Huilong Village and the snake coffin and that they could not interfere.
So I was pretty much left to fend for myself...
Seeing me drinking tea without saying anything, He Ji chuckled and said, "Young Master Gu is right. Although you are young, Long Ling, you are very patient."
I looked up at him and smiled bitterly: "There are so many questions, I don't know where to start, I might as well just wait for you to speak."
While He Gu was bandaging his wound, he looked at me and said, "We don't know much about the snake coffin. Or rather, except for the people in Huilong Village, no one knows much."
"Senior Brother He Ji is in charge of asking questions. The snake coffin is buried deep underground, so he might be able to find some clues this time. For example, the fireflies in Huilong Village, and the birth dates you asked about last time." Maybe He Gu has been with me for a few days, so he speaks more casually.
"There's no rush. Take your time." He Ji poured me some tea and chuckled, "It seems someone from the Yu family is here too. Since you can't stay at Qin Mi Po's place anymore, you can stay here temporarily."
"Yes! Yes!" Niu Er nodded hurriedly while eating snacks: "Long Ling, we will protect you together."
I smiled at him and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter, Mr. Hu?"
I have absolutely no good feelings towards him.
"The year you were born, he fled to the Wentian Sect with his last breath. The snake on his body at that time was the same as the one you saw last time, except that it had entered his body." There was confusion in He Ji's eyes.
He smiled bitterly at me and said, "Mr. Hu has a high level of cultivation, and with the help of medicine and acupuncture from our Wentian Sect, he is sometimes still conscious."
"We originally wanted to ask him some questions about the snake coffin, but he seemed to keep silent, as if he was waiting for something. Now you can see that the snake has merged with him." Worry slowly appeared in He Ji's eyes.
He looked at me and said, "Long Ling, if the snake completely merges with him, do you think Mr. Hu is a snake or a human? In other words, what will Mr. Hu become in the end?"
"If it cannot be seen from the outside after the fusion, then the snake coffin has existed for so many years, are there still some people like Mr. Hu out there ?" He Ji asked several times in succession, his voice deep and confused, filled with deep worry.
The Wentian Sect is really capable of asking questions.
I just looked at He Ji: "Why can't the snake coffin be destroyed?"
In Liu Longting's memory, it seemed that Long Ling could not hold on without Mo Xiu, so she made a snake coffin and buried herself and Mo Xiu in it .
Therefore, the snake coffin may have other functions besides resurrecting Mo Xiu.
He Ji shook his head at me: "I don't know. We have checked all the files of Wentian Sect since its founding. The snake coffin is only mentioned and cannot be destroyed. If there is a crisis, destroying the snake coffin will be considered a crime of bringing disaster to the people, regardless of the consequences..."
When he said this, he looked at me with a swaying gaze: "Kill them all! Including everyone in Huilong Village!"
I listened and laughed out loud, and as I laughed, tears began to seep out of the corners of my eyes.
He Ji looked at me sternly and let me laugh.
I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. I turned to look at He Gu and said, "You saw what happened in Huilong Village with your own eyes. Even if the snake coffin is like this, it can't be destroyed? What is its use? You don't know? Can't it be destroyed?"
All the people in the village are just like fireworks rising into the sky, and they are all burned to ashes at the moment of their brilliant bloom.
They were burned to ashes, without even the possibility of coming back to life like Long Xia.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the Wentian Sect and other upright Xuanmen sects attack such an existence together as the legend says?
But now you tell me: It cannot be destroyed!
He Gu looked guilty when I looked at him. He lowered his head and said nothing.
I wiped away the tears from my eyes and whispered, "If that's the case, why didn't you help the people of Huilong Village and sacrifice me directly to the snake coffin? This way, the snake coffin can at least stay safe for eighteen years, waiting for the next daughter of the Long family."
This seems to be a very normal thing. At least it won’t involve a whole village of people.
He Ji coughed softly and looked at my lower abdomen solemnly: "If you can give birth to the snake fetus, maybe it will be another chance."
I looked at He Ji in surprise and whispered, "Why?"
"On the day you were born, Mr. Hu and Grandma Qin, one died and the other escaped." He Ji took a deep breath.
His face was dazed: "We don't know why Granny Qin died. But Mr. Hu was possessed by a snake and escaped all the way to the Wentian Sect. But he left a message..."
At this point, he looked at me and said, "He said that if you don't die, the earth will collapse and the sky will fall, and all living beings will suffer. If you give birth to a snake fetus, a dragon will rise from the snake coffin , and all living beings will bow down and the world will be blessed."
