Chapter 379 Worm in the dish (first update)

 “Grandmaster?”

Hu Ma originally wanted to come over seriously to discuss it with Lao Abacus, but she didn't expect that he would actually make a fortune in front of her, and her eyes felt a little strange.

Since we came from Mingzhou Prefecture together, I feel like he can get involved in everything, especially fortune-telling and fortune-telling. He always pretends to talk nonsense.

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, but gradually Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others felt vaguely convinced. The old guy had basically emptied all his money, and he was still willing to do so. !

 By the way, what kind of skills does this old abacus have?

Hu Ma couldn't even remember it. It felt like he could talk about any topic, especially the method of divination. He always talked about it succinctly. Several times, Hu Ma felt itchy and wanted to try it with his own hands to see if his divination worked. It works.

It’s a pity that every time I think about it, I give up the idea.

Hexagram gold is too expensive.

Of course, Hu Ma either feels sorry for this hexagram gold, or feels that after suffering the loss of hundreds of blood food pills, it would be too...

Looked him up and down, and said doubtfully: "Is your method effective?"

 “Ouch…”

Old Abacus suddenly became angry, glared at Hu Ma, and said: "Young man, let me tell you, it's okay for you to make fun of my old Abacus, but you can't make fun of my ancestor. My divination skills are serious, but Not like those charlatans.”

“This hexagram shows the words of our ancestor. If you doubt this hexagram, you are doubting our ancestor...”

“…Hurry and get two blood food pills, I will offer them to you so that Grandmaster can forgive you!”

　　　…”

Hu Ma was speechless and said: "Then tell the ancestor for me that I owe you. When I get my debt back, I will double the supply to his old man..."

"Debt? Does anyone owe you a debt?"

Old Abacus was also startled for a moment, and then said first: "I am also good at collecting debts. If you are not able to get the debt, leave it to me. Of course, the debt recovered will be divided between us 30-70..."

Hu Ma: "...Very good, it's appropriate to leave this matter to you, but I have to think about it in the long run and talk about the business first."

 “Getting down to business is simple.”

Old Abacus shook his head, his expression became serious, and he whispered: "The words of the ancestor are not wrong. He said that the words of the patriarch are true, then they are true. This matter..."

 “I don’t believe it’s all true either.”

Hu Ma said simply: "We have just come here and we have encountered so many things. Now I can't believe anyone's words."

 Lao Abacus was startled for a moment: "Then you..."

  “There is no way.”

Hu Ma smiled and said: "Leng Buding, an old patriarch who hates evil and hates evil, comes to our door and wants to get rid of this enemy for us. I am very embarrassed in my heart, but even if I don't agree, now we can't think of any other way for a while, right? ?”

“We can’t really let us go out and fight with that lunatic among the witches?”

"He just sent a dead crow, and then he injured Zhuang Erchang, who had revitalized his five internal organs, like this. Even if I were to get in, I wouldn't be safe. If the boat capsized in the gutter, then who would I cry to? go?"

　　　…”

This is quite reasonable to say. After all, he came to this mine with the order of the Red Lantern Queen and worked for the Red Lantern Queen.

How can we do this kind of hard-working thing casually? We are Qingxiang, not Hongxiang.

Of course, I have indeed received the benefits of this mine, but I have also received it based on my own ability. I believe that the Red Lantern Empress has a lot and will not care about such a little thing with me.

The more I thought about it, the calmer I felt. He smiled and said, "But it's not an option to keep putting it off like this. Everyone in the mine is afraid."

"This patriarch is famous and majestic in the mines. If someone wants to help me, what will happen if I don't agree?"

"To say the least, if we really don't invite him, but rely on us to mobilize reinforcements ourselves, how many people can the Red Lantern Society send and how far can it accomplish things? I'm afraid that just the blood food we just confiscated will be It’s not easy to keep it in your hands, right?”

　　　…”

Stopping here, not only the confiscated blood food, but also the mysterious mineral vein. Who knows what extraordinary things are hidden in that mineral vein?

Old Abacus didn't know about the exchange between Hu Ma and Hou'erjiu, but seeing Hu Ma's attitude of not believing anyone made him appreciate it, and whispered: "That's right, I'm really afraid that you are young, and all of a sudden you will I was coaxed..."

 “That’s what I mean too.”

“Not to mention the old patriarch, I don’t even believe in the man named Zhuang, but even the patriarch said their words are true, so I can’t be sure..."

　　　…”

As he spoke, he sighed slightly and said in a low voice: "Since the situation is unclear, let him refine it first." "When he refines the Gu, he will be in danger, but before he refines the Gu, he will be in danger." He is more dangerous."

“When a shaman refines his voodoo, he has to find a safe place where he won’t be disturbed. He is afraid that something unexpected will happen and the voodoo insects will bite him back. He actually took the initiative to come to our place to refine the voodoo. He is very brave!”

"There is no need to worry about what impact he will have on the mine by refining Gu here. From my point of view, it is him who should be worried now."

"If a Gu man confronts the Shou Sui man head-on, he has no chance of winning. If he hides in the dark, he can still fight you for a few rounds, but if he makes trouble in front of you, he will be chopped off with one knife. With two The sword shows that you are not very good at learning..."

　　　…”

 “I always feel like you’re secretly scolding me again…”

Hu Ma glanced at Lao Baanpan with a smile, but did not say anything to him. He thought about it for a moment and said in deep thought: "Actually, this is what I find strange..."

"Anyway, let's see what's wrong first. Since he wants to make this Gu in seven days, we also need to find out the matter in these seven days..."

　　　…”

While Hu Ma was discussing with Lao Abacus, the people in the mine suddenly became busy.

Just when people were panicking, the red lantern outside was hung up, but it didn't make people feel much more at ease. After all, the people in the mine didn't have that much trust in the Red Lantern Lady, but when Chief Wu came, they suddenly felt... They all have a backbone.

Soon, two sheds for storing sundries were dismantled, and the wooden strips and boards were piled in front of the valley. Following the instructions of Chief Wu, a strange altar was erected.

It is more like a hut than an altar. It is in the shape of a vertebra, just big enough for one person to sit inside, with the hundred poison pots placed in front of him.

After the shack was set up, Chief Wu burned a few more handfuls of mugwort and smoked the inside of the altar. Now, Wu Ya, who had recovered, also walked out and held hands beside him. .

She filled the bottles one by one with fishy-smelling blood, which dripped onto the shack bit by bit. Then she squatted next to her and took out herbs one by one, using a stone mortar. Zi, pound slowly.

Leng Buding looked at it, not sure whether it was refining the poison or making medicine.

As soon as everything was ready, it was almost dark, and the head of the mine came to Hu Ma specially and said: "If the manager has no other objections, they will start refining the Gu tonight."

Hu Ma nodded and said: "Anyway, you are familiar with this old shaman, so just cooperate with him."

The leader of the mine was slightly embarrassed, but he still nodded and went back to speak to the Wugong clan leader. Then the Wugong clan leader untied the coils of black cloth from his head. Then it went around the shack and tied a strange knot.

After doing this, with his hair hanging down, he hugged the Gu basin, sat in the shack, and said a few words sharply.

Wu Ya and the other man brought by the Wugong patriarch immediately agreed, and then they both carried bamboo baskets and walked quickly out of the valley.

Their conversation at this time was not in Mandarin, so outsiders could not understand it. They just watched from a distance and did not dare to disturb them.

“This is the first step in refining the voodoo, finding the voodoo!”

Next to Hu Ma, the old abacus had been watching. When he saw this, he whispered: "This old patriarch's method of refining Gu is the most orthodox and ancient one."

"Actually, it's different from what others think. When shamans refine Gu, they don't just refine whatever snakes and insects they want. Before they set up the Gu altar, they didn't even know what they would practice. They just followed the method. .”

"Now that the old clan leader has established the Gu altar, he has to guard the altar, and the two people under his command have to follow his instructions. At a specific time and in a specific place, such as how many feet to the east of the altar and how many feet to the west of the altar. My husband, please wait and bring back all the snakes and insects that appear there."

“Be it golden toads, worms, centipedes, scorpions, tigers, etc., whatever appears, you must bring it back and put it in the basin. This is the first step.”

　　　…”

As he spoke, he sighed lowly and said: "This bug is just a bug outside, but when it enters the basin, it is called a voodoo. To put it bluntly, the first voodoo is to raise insects and pick them. The most poisonous insect comes out to harm people."

“Outsiders talk about how mysterious the methods of witches are.”

"But essentially, you can understand that you particularly hate a certain guy, such as someone who owes you money and doesn't pay back, so you find a group of snakes and insects, put them in a place, watch them attack each other, and finally select the most poisonous one. That snake."

“Then, you take the most poisonous insect and stuff it into his bed while it’s dark. This is a poison…”

　　　…”

Hearing this, Hu Ma was surprised: "Your explanation is so down-to-earth..."

 “Is it really that simple?”

 “Hey, that’s the truth anyway, isn’t it…”

After listening to Hu Ma's words, Old Abacus also smiled and said: "Everything in the doorway is simple to put it bluntly. Isn't the skill of you year-watchers just to chop people with knives?"
