There was silence in the room, the light of the fire in the fire pit was beating uneasily, Gu Yaopan's lips moved, and he didn't speak after all.

Kun Yu sat for a while, then stood up and pointed to a door on the right hand side and said: "This is the guest room of my house, you guys take a rest here first, I want to go to Aji's house to see, something happened in vain, everyone in the village has to help, I am the owner of the village, it's not good not to be there." ”

"Okay. ”

Tao Mengchu nodded at him, and Kun Yu pushed open the door and walked out.

Gu Yaopan stood up and pushed open the door of the guest room, walked in and took a look, the window of the guest room was open, and it happened to be in the direction of Aji's house, but at this moment, several waves of men and women wearing tie-dye coats had walked over, and white cloth had been hung at the door of the small courtyard.

After a while, a tall Miao man drove an ox cart and dragged a black lacquered coffin into the courtyard of Aji's house. After a long while, a man ran out of Aji's house with a package on his back and a twig on his back, and went out of the gate and went straight to the west.

"It seems that his family has begun to do things in order. Tao Mengchu stood at the window for a while, then turned around and sat back on the bamboo stool next to the bed.

Gu Yaopan turned to look at him and nodded. Then he said:

"Sister-in-law Aji is dead, but her natal Gu is still alive, this is unreasonable, I have never heard of the truth that the master can still live alone after the Gu worm dies. ”

Tao Mengchu nodded in agreement, his heart suddenly moved, and said:

"According to Kunyu, five people died in half a month, so these five people must not be one dead and the other is sick, it must be one after another, but the degree is mild and severe, and now that Aji's sister-in-law is dead, then who is next? There should be patients in this village. ”

"Of course the patient does, but it's not good to act rashly today. Gu Yaopan, who was standing at the window, shook his head, pointed out the window and said to Tao Mengchu.

However, in a short time, all the people in this small village seemed to be alarmed, and when the two of them entered the village, they looked at the lifeless village like an ant colony that had been disturbed, and people from each house came out, and they all walked in the direction of Aji's house, and stopped when they reached the gate of the courtyard.

From time to time, Ah Miao, who came out of the house of Aji's house, said something to one of them, and one of them turned away and walked away in a certain direction without looking back, while the others continued to wait.

Everything was like a silent animation in the eyes of Gu Yaopan, who was watching from afar, with a unique rhythm in this late autumn twilight, running unhurriedly, and the two of them could only watch quietly from the sidelines, and there was no room for them to interfere in everything.

"What about the Gu worm?" Tao Mengchu suddenly looked at Gu Yaopan and asked.

Gu Yaopan spread out her palm, the Gu worm that was grabbed from Aji's sister-in-law's chest was slowly crawling in her palm, and it was almost motionless when it was in the courtyard of Aji's house, and the white star on its back looked faintly red at this time.

Tao Mengchu blinked suspiciously, was he dazzled?

The sunset outside the window shone on Gu Yaopan's palm, staining her hand with a layer of red, and a breeze blew gently, Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan squinted at the same time.

A faint fishy smell came to the tip of their noses, and the two of them turned their heads in unison, and a faint white mist slowly drifted in with the wind, as if they felt the residual warmth of the setting sun, and hurriedly hid themselves in the dark part of the room, shrinking into a basketball-sized ball.

"It's ...... Sister-in-law's soul!"

Tao Mengchu cautiously moved towards Gu Yaopan's side, the yang energy on his body was extremely strong, if he got too close, he was afraid of causing Sister-in-law Aji's soul to shatter.

"It should be. ”

Gu Yaopan's palm shook slightly, and the Gu worm that was originally crawling in her palm sensed her intention, and her wings fluttered and flew up, and after a slight "buzzing" sound, it just circled slightly in the air, and then turned its head and plunged into the white mist. The smell of fishy smell in the room was even stronger.

"How so?"

Seeing the changes in front of him, Tao Mengchu's brows furrowed. All of this was beyond his understanding of Miao Jiang's Gu Technique, and he never knew that Gu worms could also be used as a host for souls, allowing the master's soul to live.

"I don't know. ”

Gu Yaopan shook his head, kept staring at the white mist in the corner, and said in a low voice:

"Miao Jiang Gu is from the ancient Jiuli clan, and many of the secret legends involve the secret records of the ancient witch clan, I am a demon clan, and I don't know the inside story. ”

Things seem to have reached an impasse, if there are no Gu worms, Tao Mengchu can also directly use the soul suppression talisman to include Aji's sister-in-law's soul into the soul nourishing talisman, maybe Wen Yang can ask some things for a few days, but with this Gu worm in the middle, it will be a little difficult to operate.

"I don't know if I will hurt this soul if I cut off the connection between this soul and the Gu worm, if it hurts, it will be useless to raise it for a long time. ”

Tao Mengchu looked at the motionless white mist in front of him in embarrassment, this was really a situation he had never encountered.

Just as Gu Yaopan was about to take two steps forward and test the condensation strength of this soul first, the door of the guest room was suddenly knocked from outside.

After three knocks, the door was pushed open a crack, and a little girl with a double bun peeked in from outside, and when she saw that both of them were there, she had a shy smile on her face, and walked in softly:

"Two guests, I'm Ah Ruan, Abba said that you are going to eat at our house today, can you eat spicy?"

Tao Mengchu and Gu Yaopan looked at each other, they really didn't expect that Kunyu, who looked simple and simple, had such a lovely daughter, and when they saw the little girl waiting for an answer, they hurriedly said, "It's not too spicy." ”

The little girl nodded, and without hesitation turned and walked out of the room, oblivious to the white mist in the room, not even the obvious fishy smell that alerted her to anything.

Gu Yaopan retracted his gaze and said to Tao Mengchu:

"Either this little girl hasn't raised Gu yet, or there is something wrong with this Gu worm. ”

All Gu cultivators are very sensitive to other Gu insects that appear within their range of activities, but this little girl is unaware of Sister-in-law Aji's Gu worms.

"Wait for Kunyu to come back and ask him, I tend to have a problem with this Gu worm itself, you must know that Sheng Miao is basically from the memory, the elders of the family will catch all kinds of poisonous insects for the child and hand them over to him to raise, until in the end, there is only one Cheng Gu left, looking at the age of Kunyu's daughter, it is impossible that she has not raised her own natal Gu. ”

Tao Mengchu glanced at the closed door and turned to Gu Yaopan.

"Hmm!"

Gu Yaopan's eyes stared at the white mist in the corner of the wall, and he didn't look back for a long time.
