Chapter 100: Shi Lian wakes up
The return of Shi Lian's heart to normal beating is only the beginning, and there are a series of things to do later.
Everyone watched Su Yunshao busy alone, drawing talismans on the iron bucket, drawing talismans on Shi Lian's body, and drawing talismans in the room, all focused and serious.
They couldn't understand what Su Yunshao was doing, and they didn't dare to disturb them. They retreated step by step, gradually exited the room, and crowded at the door to watch.
Then, the door was ruthlessly closed by Su Yunshao.
Everyone: "…"
Not long after, Su Yunshao reopened the door, "Come in."
Bai Xingchen was the first to enter the door, "Yun Shao, are you almost there?"
Seeing that Bai Xingchen didn't have any effect on entering, the others entered in an orderly manner, lining up.
"It's almost there." Su Yunshao put away the pen that drew the talisman, and put the pen, cinnabar, and yellow talisman into the bag.
"Shi Lian's body is very depleted. When he is weak, he is most likely to be invaded by evil spirits. I drew some talismans on him and the room. Try not to let him out of the room until his body recovers."
Although it is not realistic to let a soldier who has been in bed for half a year and has finally recovered from his room leave his room.
Su Yunshao put the Lei Ming sword that Su Yiyi brought but never used on Shi Lian's bedside table, and warned, "I'll leave Lei Ming in this town for a few days, don't touch it."
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads: "Not moving, not moving, absolutely not moving!"
The housekeeper has said that Lei Ming is a tempered sword, and it will not be moved except by the master. Su Yunshao could keep such a magical sword here to help Shi practice, they would not be so ignorant.
After packing up the burden, Su Yunshao picked up the folding knife, used his vitality to draw a slender Gu from the chicken, and put it on the small stone.
The pebble rolled away, and everyone could understand the meaning of its action: move away! Do not eat!
Su Yunshao really didn't know much about Gu, let alone the Yin-Yang Gu that he had never heard of.
Seeing that Yin-Yang Gu has her own small temper, like a child, she thought that she should be able to understand what she was saying, and said, "If you don't eat this, what will I feed you?"
The pebble froze, not even moving the slender black bug that crawled onto it and wrapped it around like a snake.
Su Yunshao squeezed a drop of blood and dropped it on Xiao Shizi, discussing: "How about you try it first?"
The small stone lifted slightly and then fell, as if he was sighing, then sucked the drop of Su Yunshao's blood in one breath, and paused for a while.
Just when Su Yunshao thought it didn't make sense, the small stone jumped up and jumped over the black bug.
I didn't see the small stone opening its mouth. After it passed a little, the black worm disappeared a little, and it continued to eat for a while and stopped for a while, very reluctant.
Su Yunshao subconsciously felt that the small stone just stopped in place and was doing his own ideological work, persuading himself to forcefully eat the food that was not in the recipe in order not to starve.
Su Yiyi whispered: "Is its mouth down below?"
Su Yunshao felt that this statement made sense, and tilted his head to see what kind of mouth Xiao Shizi had.
However, as soon as she moved, the small stone did not move, and when she turned back, the small stone continued to eat.
After repeating this twice, Su Yunshao understood that Xiao Shizi didn't want people to see its food, so he deliberately hid his mouth below.
Okay, maybe a shy little girl.
Su Yunshao stood up straight, and did not further explore what the Yin-Yang Gu looked like, what kind of mouth it had, and how it was eaten.
She turned to the crowd, "You see, this Gu has become food for small stones, and small stones are also a kind of Gu, so I will bring back these two chickens and small stones."
If it wasn't for Su Yunshao, Shi's family and soldiers didn't know that Shi Lian had been in a vegetative state for half a year because of being caught in a gu.
They didn't understand Gu in the first place, even if Su Yunshao didn't bring it back, they had to ask how to deal with it, lest one person not pay attention and hurt others, that is...
Deputy team: "This small stone was handed over to me by the captain for safekeeping. Although I know that it is dangerous, it needs to be handed over to the master for safekeeping, but when the captain wakes up, I will still report the whole thing. report to him."
This kind of thing doesn't need to be said specially, Su Yunshao also knows that it is necessary, "Naturally."
Shi's mother didn't pay attention to any chicken and Gu, she only knew that her son still did not wake up after solving the Gu. Seeing that Su Yunshao was instructing the precautions, she seemed to be leaving, and she was in a hurry.
"Master, when will my son wake up?"
"When his body recovers a little more, he will wake up." There is no exact time, the Shi family will still be worried, Su Yunshao thought for a while, "I can send him some vitality, let him wake up now, and have a word with you. talk."
Shi Ma was overjoyed: "That's great!"
Father Shi and Father Shi were not so happy. Su Yunshao didn't do that before, so there was naturally a reason why he didn't.
Dad Shi asked, "Master, if you wake up early, will it be bad for Shi Lian's health?"
After being reminded, Shi Ma, who was concerned about chaos, finally realized this and looked at Su Yunshao anxiously: "Master?"
Su Yunshao: "I said earlier that the body's dormancy is for the purpose of self-protection. If he doesn't wake up, it means his body hasn't recovered to that level. Sending vitality can make him wake up for a short time, but he will be tired later. He added some nutrition, stepped up exercise, and slowly adjusted."
Having said it so well, Shi's family understands that waking up early is not harmful. Rather than being tired and needing self-cultivation, it is better for Shi Lian to wake up earlier.
Shi Lian fell too suddenly, and the task had not yet been handed over.
Shi's family: "Then it will trouble the master."
Su Yunshao nodded, clasped his hands together, evoking the vitality of heaven and earth, and through the contact between his fingertips and Shi Lian's wrist, strands of strands were slowly transported into Shi Lian's body.
The body that has been short of vitality for a long time is like a sack with a big mouth, and it will not refuse to come and accept it.
Shi Lian, who had been in the dark and cold for a long time, was so tired that he was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, he received warmth and light, and his body and consciousness slowly woke up.
He kept running in the direction of the warmth and light, and when he was about to reach his destination, it all disappeared and darkness came again.
At that moment, Shi Lian suddenly burst into strength, raised his hand to grab Su Yunshao's left hand, and pulled hard into his arms.
Su Yiyi hurriedly covered her mouth, and the system turned into a screaming chicken in her mind: [Aw, ooh, the standard idol drama plot, the heroine will fall into the arms of the male protagonist at this time, and the two have a classic look at each other. ! 】
Su Yiyi didn't have time to complain about the system. As a scholar system, when did she like to watch dog blood idol dramas, she looked at Su Yunshao and Shi Lian with burning eyes.
However, Su Yunshao is not a girl who is soft and easy to be pushed down. Her bottom is extremely stable. No matter how Shi Lian pulls, she still stands still like a mountain.
This is embarrassing.
Shi Lian opened his eyes, first squinted to adjust to the light in the room, and then saw the whole room.
His parents, grandfather, younger brother, housekeeper, nephew, and deputy subordinates were watching him with concern not far away, and there were two unknown girls in the room.
One of them looked at him full of gossip, similar to the expression when Shi's mother wanted to complain but couldn't help watching it when she was watching a dog-blood TV series at home.
The other stood by his bed, his eyes cold.
Judging from the face, it is clearly a young girl, but the temperament and eyes of her body do not look very similar.
When Shi Lian saw that he was holding the girl's hand, he quickly retracted, "Sorry."
As soon as the words came out, he realized that his throat was very dry, and it hurt when he pulled it.
Shi's mother quickly poured a glass of water and sat beside the bed to feed her son, "Shi Lian, you have been in a coma for half a year, just woke up, drink slowly, don't worry."
In a coma for half a year?
Shi Lian understood why so many people were waiting in his room. He didn't quite know what was going on, so let's drink some water for now.
People can eat when they wake up, and the housekeeper went downstairs and told the aunt to quickly cook some digestible and nutritious porridge.
The Shi family, the deputy team and others quickly and briefly explained the matter again, and for more specific details, you can wait for Shi Lian to wake up next time.
They didn't forget that Su Yunshao said that this time waking up was only temporary, and the time was limited, so we had to focus on the key points.
Shi Lian, who just woke up, was forced to experience "Isn't the world I live in a materialistic world?" "There are ghosts in the world?" "Why do you all accept it so quickly?" "Gu doesn't only exist in novels and TV series. Is it something?" and so on in the process of constantly fragmenting and reorganizing the worldview.
That is to say, he has been out on assignments all year round, he has experienced a lot, and his psychological endurance is strong enough, otherwise he will have to faint.
Shi Lian looked at the young female master, who was said to be a classmate of his cousin, Bai Xingchen.
"Master, why did I get Gu?"
The same question was asked by the deputy team before, but Su Yunshao did not answer. This time when Shi Lian asked again, she still could not answer.
"I don't know what happened. It's up to you to think about it. Did you eat or touch anything before you fell into a coma?"
Shi Lian was thinking about it, and so were the deputy team and the soldiers.
They didn't hit Gu in the mission together, only Shi Lian hit it, which means that Shi Lian has touched something they haven't touched.
Half a year has passed, and some memories have become blurred, and it will take a while to remember them all.
The deputy team talked about the small stone, "Captain, the small stone you asked me to keep is a Gu, have you ever touched something similar?"
After being reminded by the deputy team, Shi Lian remembered it.
"This pebble floated down the river, and I picked it up when I saw it looked good."
Everyone: "…"
Silently turning his head to look at the black pebble on the table, the world is confused: such a thing that can't attract the slightest attention even if it is thrown on the side of the road, do you think it looks good?
"Huh?" Shi Lian saw the appearance of the pebble, and blinked suspiciously, "When I first picked it up, the color and texture were the same as obsidian, and there were fine patterns, it wasn't like this."
The deputy team clarified: "Captain, you gave it to me, I put it in my pocket, and I haven't changed the package!"
No matter how good-looking a stone looks, there is no need to change the package. When Shi Lian believes in his deputy, there is only one possibility... "Is it a long-term disability?"
After all, this little pebble is not a real pebble, it is a Gu, it has life, it is very likely that it was beautiful half a year ago, and after half a year it looks gray and has no features at all.
Xiao Shizi seemed to understand and lifted it up suddenly.
I don't know where is the head and where is the tail of such a round thing, so I just stared at Shi Lian.
Shi Lian: "…"
Shi Lian's younger brother: "...I think he seems angry?"
Su Yunshao felt the same way. He stretched out his index finger and gently touched the pebble that should be the part of his head.
"Don't be angry, everyone is just guessing and reasoning, not saying you are ugly."
Everyone: "..." You might as well not explain it.
The weird thing is: Xiao Shizi was actually comforted by such words!
Is it possible that it is really like the main figure?
Xu Shi understood that his current appearance was not very good-looking, which caused everyone to suspect that He Shilian said that it was "long disabled", and it jumped up and jumped into Su Yunshao's hand.
As soon as Su Yunshao felt something warm and cool in his hand, he felt a burst of pain, and then found that Xiao Shizi was sucking her blood in a big mouth.
King Hades would not harm her. He said that the Yin-Yang Gu recognized the master, but he did not say that the Yin-Yang Gu would devour the master, which meant that Xiao Shizi himself would not hurt her.
Su Yunshao touched the small stone, "Hungry?"
Xiao Shizi's blood-sucking action paused, realizing that Su Yunshao didn't mean to stop it, and the speed of blood-sucking was slower.
It was also at this time that everyone clearly saw that Xiao Shizi's body had changed, from a gray and inconspicuous appearance to a little bit of obsidian, pure black, with a shiny surface.
Then, the hidden patterns on his body gradually revealed.
Symmetrical left and right, a bit like a flower, but you can't tell what flower pattern it is.
Shi Lian hurriedly said: "That's what I looked like when I saw it at the time." God testified that his aesthetic was definitely not distorted!
Bai Xingchen thought thoughtfully, "Yun Shao, do you think that Xiao Shizi didn't find suitable food by the side of the deputy team, and in order to protect himself, he fell into a dormant state like his uncle, and that's why it's so gray. of?"
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Xiao Shizi was just an ordinary stone by the side of the deputy team for half a year, while being happy by Su Yunshao for a while, disgusted and angry for a while, so energetic.
Wasn't it just because he drank a drop of Su Yunshao's blood?
According to Bai Xingchen's thinking, even Xiao Shizi didn't take blood for the first time before, and there is an explanation - doesn't it take a little time to recover from the dormant state?
Everyone thinks it makes sense.
Xiao Shizi was full of blood, and rolled around on the back of Su Yunshao's hand, but he did not roll down very skillfully.
Shi Lian's younger brother said with a sullen face: "...I always feel that it is happy that it has finally filled its stomach after half a year."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Shi Lian's younger brother's eyes a bit wrong: Everyone is an ordinary person, how can you read the emotion of a stone so accurately?
Shi Lian's younger brother: "..." Do you think I think so?
Su Yunshao stared at the place where the small stone had sucked blood before, and found that there were only two small red dots, rubbed the small stone and put it into his pocket.
"Captain Shi, I'll take Xiao Shizi and these Gus away."
How could Shi Lian disagree?
"OK."
After talking about Xiao Shizi, Shi Lian continued to talk about how he got Gu.
"After I picked up this small stone, another white stone floated down upstream, and I grabbed it. Later, when something happened, I put these two stones in my pocket, took them out before work, and gave them to the deputy team. custody."
The deputy insisted: "There is only one! When the captain gave me only this black stone, there was no white stone."
"I know." Although half a year had passed, Shi Lian didn't forget to take out a few stones, "I didn't pay attention to something at the time, I thought it was accidentally dropped, but if the black stone is a Gu, it is possible that the white stone is a Gu. Sex is great."
In addition, when Shi Lian came out with the task, he and the deputy team ate and drank together, and they didn't encounter anything special.
Su Yunshao heard that it was very likely, but... in the end it was just speculation and there was no evidence.
Master Shi: "Miss Su, it's just a stone, why are there so many Gus?"
So many slender black bugs fell into the iron bucket like rain, and they saw that the hairs of the big men stood on end. How could they have jumped out of a stone? What a huge rock.
"Gu will multiply." Su Yunshao said, "As long as there is an environment and nutrients suitable for its survival, it will continue to multiply. It is easy to understand that Gu is an insect with special functions."
Indeed, the old man nodded.
"Will there still be eggs laid by those Gus in Shi Lian's body?"
Shi Lian shivered at the scene, and he had the urge to change blood all over his body.
Su Yunshao: "This kind of Gu feeds on vitality. They have been in Shi Lian's body for half a year, and they have almost swallowed up his vitality, so they will be transferred to chickens with more vitality. At that time, those Gus thought the host was dead and couldn't wait to run out."
"Besides, I just sent him vitality and used it to swim around the body three times, but I didn't find anything that would devour vitality. It should be gone. In two days, I'll get Lei Ming, and I'll check it again for him."
Shi family: "Thank you, Master, Miss Su."
Up to now, the only old man in the Shi family insists that Su Yunshao is Miss Su, not the master.
Su Yunshao saw something similar to Bai Xingchen in the old man Shi: No matter what I see or encounter, I am a firm believer in scientism, and I cannot change it for a hundred years!
Not to mention, it's pretty interesting.
Bai Xingchen, a staunch scientist believer, suddenly said: "Yun Shao, I remember you said that ghosts will not easily approach righteous people, my uncle is an upright person, protects the family and the country, and protects the people. I don't have eyes like yours. , I also know that he must be upright, why are these three ghosts so close?"
What is righteousness? Everyone was puzzled but did not ask questions.
"Because the righteousness in his body has been exhausted." Although he couldn't see it, Su Yunshao did not doubt that Shilian lacked righteousness.
Some people are upright even if they sit there weakly, while some people are well-dressed but can't hide the nature of beasts, Shi Lian is undoubtedly the former.
"What's going on?" Bai Xingchen saw with his own eyes a few cat ghosts, in order to hide from the upright police, Zhu Minxue's body on the ground and left again and again, the ghosts should be very afraid of uprightness.
Compared with those ordinary policemen, Shi Lian had only a lot more righteousness, how could he be wiped out?
Su Yunshao looked at the three ghosts in the corner: "Then we have to ask them."
The previous interrogation was interrupted because of the time-refining Gu and how to determine the Gu, this time there will be nothing else to interrupt them.
The soldiers were gearing up, and the deputy team joined them. The five people grinned and surrounded the three ghosts who were crying and trembling, like bullying the weak villains, shrinking the circle little by little.
The five of them just stood there, and the righteousness radiating from their bodies would burn the ghosts, not to mention deliberately approaching them, and the heat directly increased by five times.
The three ghosts were so hot that they were screaming and screaming. The ghosts were screaming and screaming. The aunt who was cooking porridge in the kitchen downstairs was startled, thinking that something big happened upstairs.
Su Yunshao was too noisy, so he threw Zhang Jingyin over and muted it immediately.
When the old man's eyes lit up, what a good thing!
With this thing, you can feel free to discuss some secrets and important matters by posting a piece of it, and it can't be more convenient and safe!
After two rounds of upright roasting and interrogation, the three ghosts shed tears and lay on the ground begging for mercy.
Su Yunshao put away the mute note, and the voices of the three ghosts came out.
Water Ghost: "I committed suicide by jumping into the river. I could only stay there. A young Celestial Master instructed me to come here to **** his anger. Being a ghost can't be unbelievable, of course I want to come. "
Burning Ghost: "Me too! As long as I can kill him, the Celestial Master promised to help me change my skin. It's so scary that I can't bear it myself."
Car accident ghost: "I'm just like them!"
Su Yunshao asked, "What does the Tianshi look like? Is he male or female? How old are you? What are the characteristics?"
The three ghosts who spoke the same tone just now are different here, and there is no similarity.
Water Ghost: "A female Celestial Master in her twenties, she looks very good."
Burning Ghost: "A male Celestial Master in his forties, he looks very ordinary, the kind that he can't even recognize when thrown into a crowd."
Car Accident Ghost: "A male Celestial Master in his 50s or 60s with gray hair and a kind face."
Everyone was surprised to hear it. Could it be that there are three Heavenly Masters who are killing Shilian?
When Mom thought so, she also asked the same question.
"Not necessarily." Su Yunshao didn't think there was something special in Shi Lian's body that would allow the three Celestial Masters to harm him at the same time, so there was only one possibility, "The other party changed his face, or set up a small illusion, so they didn't see it. real face."
These three ghosts are just little scumbags that can be seen everywhere. It's good to use them, and it won't be a pity if they don't use them.
Su Yunshao was very curious: "What did you do to make the Heavenly Master want to kill you, but also through this way of leaving no trace."
There are too many means for a Celestial Master to kill a person.
Take the simplest method as an example: get Shi Lian's birth date, hair or blood, make a cursed puppet, and die as you want Shi Lian to die, that is, you need to pay a certain price.
But the other party wants to kill Shi Lian by way of ghost sucking anger, so that Shi Lian, who is already semi-vegetative, will weaken a little bit, die naturally, and still not let the three ghosts know who is instigating them, it proves that the other party does not want to. Take a little risk of being known.
After listening to Su Yunshao's explanation, the Shi family and Shi Lian were at a loss.
Shi Lian: "A soldier's duty is to obey orders. All I do are the tasks assigned by me. Before I met you, I didn't even know there were ghosts and gods in this world. How can I offend the gods?"
That's even worse.
On the one hand, it is time to practice in the light, and the other party is in the dark, and many things cannot be prevented. On the other hand,…
Su Yunshao: "That is, a certain task you have done touched the interests of a certain Celestial Master or someone. I personally prefer that you offend ordinary people who know the existence of Celestial Masters."
Only ordinary people need to be so concerned about Shijia's background, and want Shilian to die quietly and without any doubts.
When it comes to tasks, Shi Lian and the deputy team shut up.
Even if their lives may be threatened, they still have to keep the mission a secret.
Su Yunshao didn't want these soldiers to be killed, so he called Gao Ran on the spot.
"Minister Gao, do you know Shi Lian?"
"Yes, I heard that he has been in a coma for half a year. I wanted to go to see it, but the Shi family doesn't believe in metaphysics, and I hide it from the Shi family, so I can't speak." Gao Ran smiled suddenly, "Why, you go to the Shi family. Did you get kicked out by the feather duster and broom?"
Su Yunshao smiled: "I saved Shi Lian, they won't drive out the savior."
Shi family: "…"
After a few gossips, Su Yunshao went to the main topic: "There is a Tianshi commanding three ghosts to **** his anger. Can you check what tasks he took before that might kill him?"
