Chapter 1072: Withered Life

Until Li Chen left from the ancient village, he was still a little surprised. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, originally he thought that there would be some entanglement, but the final result was that he got the solution to remove the Gu poison so easily. It was so easy that he even didn't believe in this so-called 'detoxification plan'.

"I didn't expect that the place that was the birthplace of Gu art would end up like this. An Cheng walked beside Li Chen, and suddenly lowered his head and sighed, his voice was a little emotional.

This is indeed one of the birthplaces of Gu art, and it is also one of the true ancestral places of hundreds of cottages in the entire mountain.

But today, this ancient cottage is on the verge of extinction.

It is not a man-made or natural disaster, but a natural demise......

The ancient village is too old, and the people inside are too old.

A group can never be static. Either to glory or to death.

And this ancient village, after dozens of generations, because the ability to reproduce is too weak, and too many people have chosen to leave this ancient area, has embarked on the road of extinction.

In the entire village, the last thing left was the four old men they had seen just now.

Not surprisingly, it won't be long before the old man said when he first met the two, and he will never see them again.

And the whole cottage will also become their funeral goods.

A cottage of natural death.

It sounds like it can't help but make people feel emotional, the power of time is really too terrifying.

According to the old man, a few decades ago, there were actually a few of them.

It's just that at that time, a foreigner who fled in desperation came to the cottage.

Later, that outsider became one of them, began to learn Gu arts, and successfully integrated into the cottage. When they heard that the man was willing to live with them, they gladly accepted him, passing on to him the ancient skills that had been passed down through countless generations.

However, something changed since then.

The outsider suddenly said he was leaving.

After the cottage experienced a large-scale relocation many years ago, no one was allowed to leave, because the more people left, the more difficult it would be for the cottage to survive. When the outsider chose to join the cottage, he also knew this rule. However, he still wants to leave.

Between him and the rest of the cottage, a big battle broke out.

A great battle between Gu arts.

In the end, there were only four old people left in the cottage, and the outsider, who had hidden other powers besides Gu magic, escaped with serious injuries after killing many people in the cottage.

"Our conditions are simple, we hope you can help us kill someone. The old man's expression was quite serious: "It's this traitor who killed the entire cottage more than fifty years ago and only left us four lonely old people!"

"This person, his name is Tong Pusang!"

Li Chen frowned: "If there is only one name, the world is so big, it is impossible for me to find it." And, more than fifty years later, are you sure he's not dead?"

"I'm sure. The old man who led Li Chen and the others suddenly spoke: "That person, not only has he learned our Gu arts, but at the same time, he is also a martial artist! A martial artist should live longer than us guys, right?"

"And we have a message that makes him even more sure he's alive. ”

Several old men suddenly turned their gaze to the small bottle on the table.

Li Chen suddenly realized.

"I really didn't expect that I would run into a grudge that has lasted for more than half a century. Li Chen took An Cheng and galloped all the way in the direction of going back, with a wry smile on his face.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it, I wouldn't have believed that something like this could happen here. An Cheng's face was also full of wry smiles.

Speaking of which, their An family was indeed originally a member of the cottage. It's just that later, because of the expansion of the cottage population, he took the initiative to leave the cottage and began to find his own way out.

It was the first time he had been to that place for so many years, but he didn't expect to hear such a strange story.

"Li Chen, do you think it's strange?" An Cheng asked suddenly.

"What's weird?"

"Since they have been betrayed, they must be very vigilant, but they believe you so easily, isn't it ......?"

"You're saying they probably didn't believe me at all, so this antidote may also be fake, right?" Li Chen suddenly smiled.

An Cheng nodded.

"They...... It's just looking for a last spiritual sustenance. Li Chen's expression suddenly became a little emotional.

"Spiritual sustenance?"

"Those old people don't have long to live. Li Chen said in a low voice: "Their breath of life is already very weak, and the longest one may not live for more than two months." ”

"But it's because I know that my deadline is approaching that I want to do something good. ”

Exhaling a breath, Li Chen shook his head and said, "Perhaps, they really didn't believe me at all. This so-called transaction is just lip service. As for whether I'm going to do it, how do they know?"

"They're just...... I just want to make this the last thought of my life. ”

When An Cheng heard this, he also fell silent.

Li Chen's speed was very fast, especially after finding the antidote, the speed of returning in a straight line was even faster, even if he took An Cheng with him, it only took him a few hours to return to An Cheng's cottage.

The two stopped in front of the cottage, but they both seemed to be in a mixed mood.

The withering of life is always the most emotional. Several old people have come to the end of their lives, even if it is Li Chen, there is no way to extend the life of several old people, otherwise, he would have done it a long time ago.

But several old people knew that Li Chen's promise did not have any guarantee for them, but they still chose to help Li Chen, which had to make Li Chen's mood complicated.

"Alright, let's try the detoxification first. Back at the cottage, Li Chen first came back to his senses and said to An Cheng.

"Good. An Cheng nodded: "I'll go and let people prepare what they need." ”

The antidote taught by the old man was very simple, but they never thought of it.

Gu worms are a relatively peculiar life form, and they are generally fragile, so they need to reside in the human body.

To deal with this fragile lifeform, you only need to let the Gu Sufferer soak it in hot water until the whole body is hot to a certain level, and then drink a bottle of cold water. Under the expansion and contraction of heat, the Gu worms will die directly.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Zhang Jing, who was red from hot water, directly drank a large glass of ice water in one gulp. (To be continued.) )
