Chapter 34: Plague Village 10

Chapter 34: Plague Village 10

This is the temple? There are no statues in the temple, so what is worshiped?

Yu Xiao's eyes turned to the water again, there must be something in the deep pool. The flames were reflected on the water, and the originally calm water surged up, as if some huge monster was about to appear.

According to the usual situation, Yu Xiao ran away long ago, but since the village head can safely enter and exit the temple, Yu Xiao only took two steps back.

"Gulu Gulu..."

The entire surface of the water was raised into a convex shape, and countless white foams churned. Yu Xiao suddenly retched, she smelled a particularly fishy smell. It is particularly fishy, ​​even more fishy than the seafood area in the vegetable market.

She covered her nose and watched the huge shadow break out of the water.

"Wow..."

The water stream rolled down from the body of the giant, like rain. Yu Xiao also finally saw the appearance of that thing clearly, it looked like a huge octopus, with countless tentacles twisted and twisted on the surface and under the water. Very huge, as high as two floors.

Yu Xiao looked at this scene in shock, she couldn't see where the eyes of that thing were, but she could feel the gaze. That huge monster was staring at her, with a strong sense of oppression, which made her unable to bear the thought of running away.

Yu Xiao didn't run away, because she wasn't sure that she could escape. She was thinking about whether the stack of lightning and haunting talismans in her pocket could be used on this monster, or was this kind of talisman only useful to ghosts?

Yu Xiao didn't dare to speak, and stared at the monster vigilantly, and the monster seemed to be observing her as well.

Just when Yu Xiao was thinking about whether he should leave, the monster moved. A long tentacle stretched out and slammed into the cave wall.

"Moo!"

The whole cave trembled, and the monster let out a cry of pain. Yu Xiao gasped, what does this mean? Why did this monster kill itself? Why is this scene so familiar? Kind of like what she did at Gushu's house...

"boom!"

"boom!"

The three people waiting outside the temple at this moment also felt that the gate of the temple was trembling, and the dust on it fell down rustlingly.

Zhao Lan's expression changed, "Smile!"

Zhou Xiaozhen said: "Let's rush in! I'm in charge of prosecuting people, Sister Lan, you go in!"

As they said that, the two were about to rush in, but they were stopped by a person. Zhao Lan looked up and found that it was Luo Jin who stopped them. Just about to explode, Lu Xun said, "Don't be impulsive."

"Sister Xiao is in danger!" Zhou Xiaozhen was dying of anxiety, "If you don't want to go in and save people, don't stop us."

"I don't think she's in any danger for the time being." Lu Xun pointed to the villagers guarding the door, "Look at them, they are all calm, but they didn't respond when the temple was trembling, which shows that they are used to this kind of thing happening often."

Zhao Lan was too worried about Yu Xiao, and after Lu Xun reminded her, she also found out. After calming down a little, Zhao Lan asked strangely, "What's in the temple? Why is there such a big commotion?"

Lu Xun shook his head, "We'll know when Zhou laughs."

"Snapped!"

Something fell in front of him, Yu Xiao squatted down to look, and found it was a small piece of flesh and blood. The monster hit the cave wall with its tentacles, and dropped a piece of flesh in front of Yu Xiao.

This is for her, Yu Xiao thought to himself.

She endured the nausea and held the piece of flesh in her hand, and the monster had regained its calm. It quietly floated on the surface of the water, looked at Yu and smiled for a while, then dived back into the water,

"Moo..."

Holding the cold and sticky meat in Yu Xiao's hand, he remembered what Gu Jingrong said, his father begged a piece of meat for him to eat in the temple, so he didn't have to die when he was about to die. He should be talking about this kind of meat, which can save people's lives.

Then the **** enshrined in this village should be this monster living in the pool.

Then the question arises, since the flesh of this monster can cure diseases and save lives, why did the former village head watch so many villagers die of illness? As long as he came into the temple and begged for some more meat from that monster, wouldn't the problem be solved?

Is he unwilling to do it, or can't do it?

The temple returned to calm, and after a while there was a knock on the door, and the villager who was guarding the door opened the door, and Yu Xiao stood behind it.

"Sister Xiao!" Looking at Yu Xiao who was intact, Zhou Xiaozhen finally felt relieved.

Yu Xiao came out with a pale face, and other people surrounded him. Lu Xun asked, "What's going on inside?"

"Go back and talk." Yu said with a smile.

The nine returned to the soil embryo room, and Yu Xiao put the piece of meat on the table.

Everyone immediately covered their mouths and noses.

"It's so fishy!"

"What is this?"

Zhao Lan clutched her nose and realized, "Is this the kind of meat that Gu Jingrong mentioned?"

"Yeah." Yu smiled and nodded.

"Huh" Looking at the lump of **** flesh, Zhou Xiaozhen was extremely disgusted, "It's so disgusting."

Lu Xun poked the lump of meat with his finger and asked, "How did you get it?"

Yu Xiao described what she saw in the temple, and then said: "I find it very strange, since the monster's meat can save lives, why did the former village head watch the villagers die?"

"Maybe the plague is caused by monsters." Wang Yang said, "Otherwise, why would there be a plague?"

"I don't think so." Zuo Qing shook his head and said, "The temple in the village has existed for many years. It doesn't make sense for the monster to cause the plague at this time."

"Did you do anything or say something after you went in?" Lu Xun thought: "Or you didn't do anything, the monster took the initiative to give you the meat."

"The only thing I did after I entered was to stand there stupidly." Recalling that scene, Yu smiled with lingering fear, "Who would have thought that there would be such a big monster in the temple? I just stood still, and the monster stared at me After a while, it started hitting the wall, and after giving me the meat, it went into the water again."

"Strange." Lu Xun couldn't figure it out, "The monster endured the pain and dropped a piece of meat, and gave it to you without any request?"

Zhou Xiaozhen thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe the monster is looking at Sister Xiao's beauty, and it's showing his favor."

Everyone: "..."

Sun Yun couldn't help it anymore, "I admit that the boss is indeed beautiful, but how do you know that monsters have the same aesthetics as humans?"

Zhou Xiaozhen: "Then tell me, what is the reason?"

"I think..." Sun Yun's expression was solemn, and he seemed to be brainstorming, "Does the monster want to exchange something?"

"It's possible." Lu Xun nodded, "But it's not certain that monsters are not the source of the plague."

Zhao Lan: "If so, it's too simple."

"It's not necessarily simple." Lu Xun propped his chin with one hand, "Since we entered the village, we have encountered many dangers, but they have all been resolved. And Zhou Xiao entered the temple alone at that time, No one can guarantee what will happen if everyone rushes in together?"

"You'll know if you try it?" Yu said with a smile.

The others didn't react for a while, Luo Jin looked up at Yu Xiao and said, "Are you sure Gu Shu doesn't want to kill you now?"

Everyone: "..."

"Cough!" Yu Xiao coughed dryly, and said solemnly, "Who said I must find the ancient tree?"

Everyone shut their mouths, thinking that it was because you looked for him too diligently!

In the end, they decided to ask Lu Xun to find the ancient tree, and the others waited for news here. Yu Xiao looked at the meat on the table thoughtfully, recalled what Sun Yun had said, and asked, "You said earlier that the monster wanted to exchange something, so what do you think it wants to exchange?"

Sun Yun scratched his head, Zhou Xiaozhen said, "It must be a human being."

Everyone looked at her together, Zhou Xiaozhen: "Why are you looking at me?"

Zuo Qing: "Why do you think it's a human?"

"Aren't all monsters cannibals?" Zhou Xiaozhen felt baffled, "And the night we first entered the village, we knew that the villagers would use outsiders to sacrifice to the gods."

Zhou Xiaozhen's guess was probably right, Yu Xiao looked at the piece of meat, what would happen if she failed to give the monster what it wanted?

"That's right." Zhao Lan thought of something, "If people are really going to be used to exchange the monster's meat, then who was the piece of meat that Gu Jingrong ate back then?"

Lu Xun looked for the ancient tree. He was a little apprehensive at first, but when he saw the ancient tree, he found that the situation was a bit strange. Gu Shu was very enthusiastic towards him, and even poured him a cup of tea thoughtfully.

"Thank you." Holding the teacup, Lu Xun was full of emotion. He had been in so many dungeons, and this was the first doctor who poured tea for him. He was inexplicably flattered.

Gu Shu asked with a good attitude: "What is it that you came to see me?"

"Ah, yes." Lu Xun put down his teacup, "I came to ask, is that monster in the temple the source of the plague?"

Gu Shu smiled and shook his head, "No."

Lu Xunxin said sure enough, he wanted to ask some more questions, but remembered the usual style of the attending doctors, so he left without asking anything. When he went out to look back at Gu Shu's house, he couldn't help but think, if Zhou Xiao was the one who came, then she wouldn't let it go so easily.

"Ah Qiu!" Yu Xiao rubbed his nose, "The smell of this piece of meat is too strong, it must be disposed of."

"How to deal with it?" Wang Yang looked at the piece of meat and said, "Why don't I make it into a dish for extra dinner at night."

"..."

Everyone was at a loss for words, Zuo Qing said: "Is there a mistake? You want to eat this too?"

"Why not?" Wang Yang said: "Eating this piece of meat can cure diseases and save lives. Maybe eating it will have some special effects."

"No, you can't eat it." Yu Xiao thought it was inappropriate, "We failed to give the monster what it wanted, who knows if the monster will retaliate? So none of us can eat this meat."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Yu Xiao bit her lip, and suddenly thought of an idea.

Gu Jingrong, the village chief, had dinner and was about to go to bed. None of his five wives came back. He felt very relieved that he could sleep in bed tonight.

As soon as he took off his shoes, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open, and the five wives stood at the door aggressively like the Five King Kong.

Gu Jingrong's hands trembled, and his shoes fell into the basin.

Yu Xiao walked in, looked Gu Jingrong up and down, and said, "How do you feel today? Is there something wrong with your body?"

Gu Jingrong felt a bit of warmth from the sudden concern, no matter how bad a wife is, she is still a wife...

He moved and said, "I'm fine today."

Yu Xiao frowned, "Can you be okay?"

Gu Jingrong: "Huh?"

Yu Xiao turned around and looked at the four of them, "Which one of you is coming?"

Luo Jin took a step forward, "I'll do it."

"What are you doing? Don't come close to me...you go away..." Gu Jingrong watched Luo Jin approaching step by step in horror, "Don't touch me...ah!"

A villager hurried to the door of Gushu's house and shouted: "Doctor Gushu, it's not good, the village chief is injured, go and have a look!"
