The years of reselling the haunted house

The light emitted by the white wax is very weak.Fortunately, my room is not big, and the light can barely take care of every corner.

Uncle San put the glass bottle containing all kinds of mosquitoes and flies on the bedside table.I saw that the mosquitoes and flies inside were listless, and many of them were motionless, as if they were dead.

Afterwards, the third uncle took out all the wine glasses from the box and placed them in a long row on my writing desk.

And the glass box with the mulberry leaves was placed in the middle of the ground, and a piece of red cloth was covered on the box.

After finishing all this, the third uncle let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, the trap has been dug, just wait for those poisonous silkworms to take the bait."

"Just like this?" I was a little skeptical, could poisonous silkworms be caught with such a simple arrangement?

"Of course. But don't be idle, both of you." Then, the third uncle took out two pairs of chopsticks and handed them to us: "You two sit behind the desk with the chopsticks, and after I give you the signal, you take the chopsticks on the table. These wine glasses are knocked. The frequency should be as fast as possible, and every wine glass must be knocked, so as not to miss it."

"Third Uncle, what are you doing?" Fat Dahai asked puzzled.

After he met Uncle Third, he has been calling me Uncle Third, who is even more affectionate than me. Uncle Third also likes this fat guy very much.

The fat man's question is also what I want to ask, so I also looked at the third uncle nervously.

The third uncle explained: "The reason is actually very simple. My purpose is to break the connection between the poisonous silkworm and the insect master. Although I don't understand the specific method of the insect master to control the poisonous insects, I know that they should use sound waves to control them." Yes. So I prepared these wine glasses. When you hit different types of wine glasses, different sound waves will be emitted. I think there must be some of them that are similar to the sound waves they use to control poisonous insects, so that they can confuse their instructions. "

After the third uncle's explanation, I also suddenly became enlightened, and I couldn't help but be impressed by the aura of the third uncle's mind.This is the safest way we can come up with right now.

The third uncle continued: "Severing the connection between the insect master and the poisonous insects, those poisonous insects will obediently fall into the legal net when they smell the smell of mulberry leaves."

The third uncle is complacent and seems to have a plan in mind.

Pang Dahai held the chopsticks and asked, "Then when will we start knocking and when will we knock?"

The third uncle said: "From the moment the poisonous silkworms appear, start knocking until the time when all the poisonous silkworms are caught. Don't worry about anything else, just watch my signal and don't bother me."

Saying that, Third Uncle sat on the bed, closed his eyes and meditated.

I sat behind the table with Pang Dahai, very nervous.What the third uncle said was very general, and there was no exact time, so neither of us dared to be careless, and neither dared to blink.

It was already midnight, and there was silence inside and outside the building.

The fat man and I could clearly hear each other's heartbeats. I peeked at the clock on the wall, and it was almost midnight.

The third uncle sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

I wonder if he is asleep?Let's act on his signals, but where are the signals?

The high tension made me very tired, and the fat man was also drowsy, dozing off constantly.

But at this moment, there was a sudden movement in the room.

I shook my head and lost all sleepiness.

I noticed that the movement came from the glass bottle on the bedside table.

At this time, the dying mosquitoes and flies in the glass bottle began to stir.That sound was made by mosquitoes and flies constantly hitting the inner wall of the glass bottle.

At the beginning, only a few mosquitoes and flies were hitting the inner wall.But soon, almost all the bugs in the bottle started to move.If they could fly, they flapped their wings and slammed into the inner wall.The ones that could climb also desperately crawled along the inner wall of the bottle. They climbed to the mouth of the bottle and fell down, but they still climbed up the inner wall again, repeating over and over again.

Those little mosquitoes and flies knocked the glass bottle into a thumping sound.Their current state is completely different from the previous state, and it is obvious that they have foreseen the danger.

At this moment, Third Uncle's closed eyes suddenly opened.He glanced at the decanter and pointed quickly at the glasses towards us.

I quickly pushed Pang Dahai, who was dozing off, and the guy shivered.I pointed to the wine glass and knocked first.

The crisp knocking sound echoed in the room.Those wine glasses are indeed of different models, and the scales of the sounds they emit are also different.If you know some temperament, you can play a beautiful piece of music by putting these wine glasses together.

It's just that Pang Dahai and I knocked out of order, with different voices, it was a mess.

It may be that the third uncle wanted such an effect, he nodded at us, signaling us not to stop.

The house was filled with the sound of knocking glasses, gradually drowning out the sound of mosquitoes and flies hitting glass bottles.

But the poisonous silkworm we wanted to capture never appeared.

The bug trap in the middle of the ground did not move at all.

Without the order of the third uncle, we dare not stop, and we are still knocking on those wine glasses.

In this way, about ten minutes passed.

Although the strength of knocking on the wine glass is not great, the repeated movements still make my arms a little sore.

This seemingly inconspicuous job is actually very difficult to operate.

If it goes on like this, in another ten minutes, it is estimated that the rhythm of the two of us knocking on the wine glasses will slow down.

At this time, Uncle San, who had been searching for the target on the ground, suddenly fixed his eyes in one direction.

Chapter 297

Pang Dahai and I continued to knock the wine glasses in our hands, and our eyes followed Uncle San's gaze.

I saw that under the curtain, at some point, a black bug had appeared.I was so impressed with this insect, it was the one that crawled on my face that day, it was the poisonous silkworm that Uncle San mentioned.

The worm was still alive and well, although it was only a small worm, but when it crawled, its head was raised high.To the three people in this room, they didn't notice it at all.

It crawled for a certain distance, with a full posture. It didn't look like a worm, but it looked a bit like a general inspecting soldiers.

I'm not sure if this is the one that poisoned me, because I can't tell what they look like.But these are not important anymore, the important thing is whether we can catch them all tonight.

The black worm stopped when it was more than one meter away from the box containing the mulberry leaves.It seemed that those mulberry leaves really attracted it, but it was still hesitating.

The third uncle hurriedly winked at us.

At the same time, Pang Haihai and I accelerated the frequency of knocking on the wine glass in our hands, and the crisp knocking sounds came and went continuously.

I don't know if our percussion played a role, but the poisonous silkworm suddenly raised half of its body and began to shake.

Immediately afterwards, a horrifying scene happened.From around the room, poisonous silkworms continued to crawl out, but the ones that crawled out were no longer black worms, but some black and some white.You must know that our doors and windows are tightly closed, and there are no gaps in the walls of the room. These poisonous silkworms seem to have appeared out of thin air. How did they come here?Where do you usually hide?

Looking at these poisonous silkworms, I felt a burst of fear, which is simply impossible to guard against.According to the current situation, they simply appear whenever they want to appear, and disappear when they want to disappear.If I don't catch them tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to live in this house anymore.

Those black and white poisonous silkworms quickly gathered around the first poisonous silkworm.

At this time, the mosquitoes and flies that had been in a mess in the glass bottle entered a state of madness.They seem to stimulate the maximum energy in their bodies, whether they are flying or crawling, they are flying and crawling at twice the usual speed.Obviously they felt the threat and fear brought by the poisonous silkworm.

It's just that those poisonous silkworms simply ignored those mosquitoes and flies.The leading poisonous silkworm raised its head and crawled towards the glass box containing the mulberry leaves.The other poisonous silkworms also followed closely behind, lined up in a single file, and drilled in from the entrance of the box one after another.

The box is a special mechanism, the small door at the entrance is opened inwards, after entering, you can only try to get out again, unless the small door is pushed open from the outside.

The design of this mechanism is extremely simple, and it is simply not worth mentioning in human thinking.But as the third uncle said, no matter how powerful these poisonous insects are, they are just some insects.After we disconnected them from the insect masters, they couldn't resist the temptation brought by those mulberry leaves at all, let alone the threat brought to them by this extremely simple mechanism.

When all the poisonous silkworms we saw entered the glass box, the mosquitoes and flies in the bottle also changed.The mosquitoes, which were still crazy at first, suddenly calmed down, and a large number of mosquitoes and flies landed on the bottom of the glass bottle.The wings and feet of those insects were trembling slightly, but they didn't have the slightest strength to fly again.

Seeing this scene, Third Uncle heaved a sigh of relief, climbed off the bed, removed the red cloth from the glass box, and shouted, "Turn on the light."

Only then did Pang Dahai and I stop tapping our hands, I rubbed my sore arms, and went over to turn on the light in the room.

Under sufficient light, I found that the poisonous silkworms in the glass box were frantically eating those mulberry leaves.

Only now did I truly understand what it means to eat.Although it seems that their movements of eating mulberry leaves are not big, and they don't see how to open their mouths.But watching those mulberry leaves getting less and less, in less than 5 minutes, the thick layer of mulberry leaves was eaten up by a few poisonous silkworms inside.

After those poisonous silkworms ate up all the mulberry leaves, they searched around and found themselves trapped in the glass box, becoming even more crazy.They actually started to show their power at us.Because there is a layer of glass, I also rely on the courage to get close to observe.It was found that in their small mouths, thin teeth could be seen.

I was shocked, and I actually had an inexplicable sense of fear for this little bug.

I counted them, and there were a total of eight poisonous silkworms inside, four black and four white.

I broke out in a cold sweat, there were actually eight poisonous insects hiding in my house.Just thinking about it gives me chills down the spine.

The third uncle looked at those poisonous insects and nodded: "These poisonous insects can't be kept anymore, they must be completely exterminated."

Pang Dahai said: "Third Uncle, it's not difficult, isn't it all right for us to crush them and separate their bodies before they get together?"

"No." The third uncle waved his hand: "That's not called a complete eradication, it will only cause more trouble. I thought about it, these poisonous insects are bred by special methods, not ordinary silkworms, ordinary silkworms. Methods can’t help them. Just like you crush them and separate them, it’s useless. Because their bodies may regenerate. But I know, they must have their weaknesses, that is, there are things that restrain them. And these restrain them Nothing more than the five elements, that is, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

I nodded: "Third Uncle means to use one of the five elements to deal with these poisonous silkworms."

"That's right. Anyway, our life is quite peaceful during this period of time, so I'm going to have some fun with these bugs today."

With that said, the third uncle took out a long-handled wooden tweezers, which were bought by Chen Tao during the day.It seems that the third uncle has already made a plan.

The third uncle put the tweezers into the glass box, trying to grab a poisonous silkworm out.

Who knew that as soon as his tweezers were inserted, those poisonous silkworms would react.They spit out a thin silk thread from their mouths one after another, and those silk threads quickly entangled their bodies and turned into a silkworm chrysalis.It's just that the color of the silk thread they spit out is opposite to their own body.The white poisonous silkworm turned into a black silkworm chrysalis, and the black poisonous silkworm turned into a white silkworm chrysalis.

The third uncle didn't care about it, and directly caught a silkworm chrysalis from a poisonous silkworm.The silkworm chrysalis has not yet hardened completely, and it is also violently twisting on the tweezers.

The third uncle said with a cold face, "Among the five elements, water and fire are ruthless, so let's try water and fire first."

We filled the basin with water according to Uncle San's instructions. Uncle San pinched the poisonous silkworm with tweezers and submerged it in the water.

The silkworm chrysalis of the poisonous silkworm was like a protective film, placed underwater, still twisting and struggling violently.Apparently this thing isn't afraid of water.

Then the third uncle lit a brazier and burned the chrysalis of the poisonous silkworm.

As a result, the poisonous silkworm looked more energetic.

The third uncle gritted his teeth angrily: "This thing is really evil. You are not afraid of water or fire. How the hell did you do it?"

Pang Hai said: "Aren't there three more? Gold, wood and soil, try again."

The third uncle shook his head: "The clips are made of wood. When I stuck them in, they didn't mean to avoid them. It seems that wood doesn't pose any threat to them."

"Then gold and earth are left, how can we try this?"

Chapter 298 Inevitability

The third uncle waved his hand: "You don't need to try it. The five elements generate and restrain each other, among which earth produces metal, so metal and earth should be interlinked attributes. Let's try it with earth and we will know."

After speaking, the third uncle looked around in my room, frowned and said, "You don't even have potted flowers in this house, and you don't talk about sentimentality at all. I have to use a flower pot."

"I have them in my house. I grow flowers." Pang Dahai replied and ran back to his house.

The third uncle pointed to Pang Dahai, and said to me: "Look at him, he looks rough, and he knows how to grow flowers. You can learn more from him."

After a while, Pang Dahai came back with a flower pot.

There was a flower in the flower pot, but the flower was half dead, like a piece of dead grass.

I curled my lips: "Fatty, this is the flower you raised."

"This... doesn't Third Uncle want a flower pot? It's not that I want flowers, so I found a half-dead one." The fat man argued.

In fact, I know that in Fatty's room, this flower should be the best flower he has raised.But at the time, I wasn't in the mood to tease him.The third uncle pulled out the flower, mixed a lot of incense ash into the soil of the flowerpot, and then buried the poisonous silkworm chrysalis in the clamp.

Finally, third uncle put a stick of incense in the flowerpot again.

After the incense was burned, the third uncle took out all the soil in the flowerpot.It was found that the layer of silkworm chrysalis had faded away, and the poisonous insect, which was still alive and kicking, seemed to have shrunk and become dry, like a small dry branch.

The third uncle clamped the dried poisonous silkworm, and when he exerted force, the poisonous silkworm shattered.

The third uncle nodded: "It seems that this is the correct way to exterminate these poisonous insects."

We hurriedly processed the other seven poisonous silkworms in the same way, and finally got rid of them all before dawn.

After working all night, it finally paid off.Only in this way can we go to rest with peace of mind. Since I don't have any worries this time, I can finally sleep with peace of mind.This time, I slept soundly.

But I don't know what happened, when I fell asleep, I suddenly felt someone blowing air on my face, which made my face itchy.I wanted to open my eyes, but I was sleepy.

I don't know how long it took before I was woken up by my third uncle.

I finally opened my eyes and saw my third uncle standing by my bed with a nervous expression on his face.

I was taken aback and asked, "Third Uncle, what's the matter?"

"Get up, don't sleep. Take out the tree crystal." Third Uncle pulled me up from the bed.

I felt bad, jumped off the bed in a hurry, and rushed into the bathroom before putting on my shoes.As a result, when I looked in the mirror, several blood-red scratches appeared on my face again.

My heart suddenly went cold, this couldn't be more obvious, we spent the night catching eight poisonous silkworms and killed them all.We thought we had wiped out all the poisonous silkworms in the hotel, but it turned out to be in vain.

I quickly took out the tree crystals from the safe, scraped some off with a wooden knife according to the method Ma Di taught us, brewed it in a wooden bowl, and drank it.

After drinking, I was still preoccupied.Ma Di said that this tree crystal can only be taken three times per person, but I have already drunk it twice.

It goes without saying what's next for me.Although we have tree crystals as a good antidote, the poisonous silkworms cannot be eliminated, and tree crystals cannot save my life.And these poisonous silkworms seem to be looking for me specially. Everyone else in the hotel is fine, including Pang Dahai who stepped on the poisonous silkworms once, but the poisonous silkworms didn't find him either.

The third uncle also realized the seriousness of the problem, sitting on the bed helpless.

My third uncle and I sat speechless, and I suddenly felt a little sad.

I followed my third uncle to destroy the haunted house, and I have experienced danger several times, and a few times were very dangerous, and even almost lost my life.But this time we are facing a crisis more than ever before.

At least we were able to come up with some countermeasures in those few times, but this time, on the surface, we were facing a few poisonous silkworms, but in fact, there must be someone behind the poisonous silkworms.And these people, we can't catch, touch, or even know who they are.

In other words, even if we are only facing a few poisonous silkworms, we have no good way to deal with them.Looking at it now, we have eliminated eight poisonous silkworms, but there are still other poisonous silkworms. Obviously, the third uncle's method cannot wipe out all the poisonous silkworms.
