Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 57: bet
Different from Gui Bugui's thoughts, the Gui's brothers' cottage is not on the top of the mountain. After only half a day, the Gui brothers took him and Wu Mian to a cave. Gui Lai pointed to the entrance of the dark cave and said, "We're here, it's where our brothers will stay. You and... this one will rest in it first, and our brothers will arrange for people to hunt game. Unfortunately, there is no place on the mountain. What kind of birth, I really can't come up with anything good to honor your old man"
Although it's dark inside, it looks a little infiltrating. But people with physiques like Gui Bugui and Wu Mian can naturally see the scene inside clearly. There is a large space here. Looking at the messy places on the ground, such as crock pots, hay mats, and the like, I know that there are only rogues living here.
There is a passage entrance deep in the cave, and it seems that there are another one or several such spaces inside the passage.
Looking at Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, the two brothers in Guilai Gui District would have misunderstood, thinking that their master and the white-haired man couldn't see what was inside, so they didn't dare to enter. Gui Lai shouted at the minions: "Don't go get the torches yet? I told you a long time ago that there are a few torches hidden at the entrance of the cave. I've said it many times, but I'm still not ready. Look, this is Did it affect my master this time?"
While Gui Lai was speaking, some minions had already entered and rummaged inside for a long time before coming out with two torches dipped in beast grease. Gui Lai showed some pretentiousness with the ignition technique. After lighting both torches, he and his younger brother Gui District held one torch each, and let Gui Bugui and Wu Mian enter the cave.
The Gui brothers let Wu Mian and Gui Bugui walk to the entrance of the passage. Gui Lai stood at the entrance and said, "I thought this cave was a cottage because there are big holes and small holes in it. Don't look outside. So a piece, but there are more than 30 inner holes in it, and counting the entrances we came in, there are thirteen entrances and exits in total. From time to time, officers and soldiers from the two counties in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning came to encircle and suppress them, and they even penetrated into the cave a few times, but each time they entered ten, they could only go out three or five at most. come in"
After finishing speaking, the Gui brothers took Gui Bugui and Wu Mian to walk around the large and small inner holes inside. If you look at the hole from the outside, you would never have imagined that it would be like a honeycomb inside, with dozens of inner holes, large and small, running through them in a chain. This way, Wu Mian was okay to talk about it, but it was hard to come back. He was always a talkative person. I don't know why, since he entered the cave, he didn't say a word, but there were a few times in the dark. In the middle, and Wu Mian looked at each other.
After looking at the inner holes, they went out through one of the exits, and after a long circle, they returned to the entrance of the hole. At this time, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui had nothing to hide from the Gui brothers. Gui Bugui first glanced at Wu Mian and said, "Do you see it?"
Wu Mian nodded and said, "I really don't know if the fate of your two precious disciples is good or bad. This hole shouldn't be prepared for people, right?"
When Wu Mian said this, the expressions of the Gui brothers had already changed. The two brothers felt that there seemed to be something unclean in the cave. They thought it was the wandering spirits who had been trapped in the cave after besieging them before. These brothers do not know how to repose, and they are reluctant to bear this cave. I can only grit my teeth and stand firm in here. Fortunately, nothing particularly strange happened. I didn't expect to be discovered by Wu Mian and his teacher and father today. The two did not dare to make a sound, and they were able to **** up their ears and listen to their conversation.
Guibuguixiang looked in the cave, sighed, and said, "Let's talk about monsters, but you don't have a bit of hostility. Saying it's not monsters, this feeling is too strong, even compared to swallowing Mastiff and Yin Bai, their mothers are much stronger"
Speaking of this, the old guy turned his head, looked at his two disciples, and said, "Have you encountered any weird things since you moved here?"
The two brothers at home looked at each other and said almost in unison: "Yes!" But the following words immediately diverged: "Someone often sees a child running around in the cave..."" I saw it with my own eyes, an old man with a white beard disappeared in a flash"
After hearing two different answers, Gui Bugui's eyes narrowed immediately and said to the two brothers, "Is it a child or a white-bearded old man?"
"Children, many people have seen it" "Old man with a white beard, not only I saw it with my own eyes, but also a few people saw it"
At this time, Wu Mian suddenly said: "Under what circumstances did you two see that child and the white-bearded old man?"
The Gui brothers were stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, Gui Lai first said: "Not long ago, before the death of the last village owner, the child appeared when he was dying. Not only did the brothers meet, but also The last village owner also saw it with his own eyes, he seemed to say something to the children, but unfortunately the village owner at that time was already ill and blind, and no one could understand what he said, and the last village owner died after he finished speaking.”
After Gui Lai finished speaking, Wu Mian didn't react, but Gui Bugui's eyes narrowed. He stroked the twenty or thirty white beards above his chin. Although his eyes were looking at the two brothers in Guilai Guiqu, the old guy's eyes were a little straight, and he was obviously thinking about other things.
The Gui brothers didn't dare to talk too much, but Wu Mian didn't care about that, looked at Gui Bugui and said, "Aren't you going to say something?" This sentence is to pull the old guy back. After returning to his senses, he blinked his eyes and smiled at Wu Mian, looked at his two disciples, and said, "Didn't you say there is still game? Wouldn't drinking wind be considered a kind of game?"
The two brothers returned home with a smile. They also saw that their teacher and father had something to say with white hair. The two of them were very interested to see how the game was prepared. After seeing the two brothers returning home, he smiled and said to Wu Mian: "The breath we sensed in the inner cave just now is not a monster, if my old man didn't miss it, it should be ginseng, tuckahoe, and He Shouwu. elves like "
Wu Mian frowned upon hearing this. Spiritual herbs such as ginseng absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and almost everyone has heard of the story that the Taoist can transform into a human form. But Wu Mian never believed that there would be such a thing. Except for the stories of ghosts and ghosts, there is no record of such flowers and plants turning into monsters and monsters in almost all the classics on alchemy and alchemy. It's been said that living creatures like swallowing mastiffs and Yin Bai become demons, but flowers and plants become essences are nonsense no matter how you look at them. After all, Wu Mian was also an orthodox alchemist, and he was dismissive of the rumor that such flowers and plants had turned into monsters.
Return or return is vivid and vivid. Based on past experience, this old guy is probably talking nonsense again. Wu Mian snorted, if it wasn't for the fact that this was the territory of their apprentices, he would have to save some face for the old guy, he would have passed an arc by now.
Wugui saw Wu Mian's disapproval, and he immediately understood where the problem was. After laughing, the old guy looked at Wu Mian and suddenly said: "Let's make a bet, there should be elves like ginseng, tuckahoe, and He Shouwu hidden in this hole. The two brothers in Guilai Gui District saw such elves before. “
Seeing Gui Bugui smiling, Wu Mian's heart suddenly moved. It seemed that this old guy knew a lot of things he didn't know... Wu Mian looked at Gui Bugui calmly and said : "Bet what?"
Gui Bugui grinned and said, "Just bet on the bottles of elixir on your body. If you lose, the bottles of elixir will be divided into half for me. If I lose—" The old guy touched his body He touched it, took out the ring he just got, and said to Wu Mian, "Although I know you don't like this gadget, but I don't have anything more valuable in my hand."
Wu Mian glanced at the ring in Guibugui's hand. This thing that he regarded as a treasure just now, has now been taken out. The corners of Wu Mian's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a few teeth that were too white in his mouth. He smiled at Gui Bugui, and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you, but I bet that there are ginseng, Poria, and Polygonum multiflorum in the cave. Such a wizard"
