The mountain road was bumpy, the bus shook badly, Yu Ye, Sequoia, Elder She and others sat in the back row, their bodies swaying neatly with inertia.

No one in the car spoke, and everyone had their own thoughts, some hoping to find some good insects at tomorrow's exchange meeting, or exchange for a few spirit stones to enhance their strength; Others are more interested in the Dou Gu Contest the day after tomorrow, these people are basically contestants, or rather, they all carry contestants with them.

The painful moans of the black man sounded from time to time, the injury on his right hand was not serious, don't suffer a second injury, it can be healed after a period of time, but the pain of the bone crack is not so easy to suffer, the palm of his hand is firmly clamped by two wooden boards, and his right hand is hung around his neck with a strip of cloth.

Yu Ye was thinking about the Dafa of chasing corpses in Xiangxi that he had just learned, he had imagined the principle of chasing corpses before, and he guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, but he never knew which nerves in people should be stimulated by the Dao, and he couldn't find some fresh corpses to try by himself, and now with the sketches and detailed instructions drawn by Elder Qiu later, the most difficult problem has been solved.

In addition, Elder Qiu also made a special note that if the part is not found well, it cannot be found again, because the toe of the Gu worm will cause some damage after piercing the spine, unlike the hanging needle, which can be pulled out and stabbed again, so there is a great failure rate, and the method of driving out the corpse is mainly used to "transport" the soldiers who died in the past to go home, in fact, only a small part of the people who can really go home, that is, the part that successfully controls the corpse, and most of them can only be buried on the spot.

However, failure also has a failed rush, and the six legs of the Gu worm control the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle joints respectively. If everything is controlled, the corpse can not only walk on its own, but also move certain things. But if these six joints are not all controlled, they can actually drive the corpse back.

For example, if the shoulder and elbow joints are not well controlled, the corpse can still walk, but the balance is not good, and it is easy to fall; If the knee and ankle joints are not well controlled, the corpse can still crawl, but it is necessary to take protective measures. It's good not to grind your arms out; Even if only the shoulder and ankle joints are successfully controlled, the corpse cannot walk or crawl, and it can be controlled to jump and walk with both feet. This is the origin of "zombies" in ancient Chinese culture.

For Xiangxi Gu Sect, the most difficult part of raising and controlling corpse Gu lies in training, so that Gu worms know how to listen to the bell and find the parts that can be controlled accurately. It's not an easy task. However, this was not a problem for Ye at all, he could not only "see" the parts to be controlled, but also control the fine-tuning of the insect feet, and the success rate was definitely much higher than letting the Gu worms come by themselves.

Now he only needs to find a suitable stick insect, or some other long-legged insect, and cultivate Gu, Yu Ye believes that he can do better than Xiangxi Gumen.

The bus stopped on the side of the mountain road, and a group of people got out of the car. The next road cars cannot drive and can only walk up the hill.

More than forty people lined up in a long line. Entering the mountains and forests from the sheep intestine trail, they are all people with ancient martial arts foundations, and they are not slow to walk, and soon disappear completely in the forest.

It was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon when I entered the mountain, and after more than an hour to about seven o'clock, it was already dark, and in the night, five people with hiking bags on their backs slowly walked to the previous parking place of the bus, looking tired, unloaded their backpacks, and sat on the rocks on the side of the road to rest.

Immediately afterwards, the second group of five people came over, also carrying backpacks, and also chose to rest here, and then the third and fourth groups.

Twenty "mountaineering enthusiasts" took out the dry food they carried with them on the side of the mountain road, ate silently, did not light a bonfire or have any conversation, and after eating, they picked up their backpacks again, and their figures quickly disappeared into the woods on the side of the road.

The people of the three Gu Sects didn't know about the situation, and they were enjoying a feast at this time.

The Gu Sect is the most complete one among the eight outer sects, but it is only relatively speaking, there are more than 100 people in the Yunnan Miao Gu Sect, and this time one-tenth came; There are more than 100 people from the Gu Gate in Xiangxi, and nearly half of them came this time; And Gui Miao Gumen, as the host, almost all of them came this time, but their number was not even enough for a hundred.

The people of the three Gu Sects combined, they were only in their early three hundreds, which was only about the same as the Cangyu Sect, and far from the first-class sects.

The advantage of fewer people and fewer people, you can organize a party by just finding a cliff or cave, and one or two buses can do it, unlike the trading and auction conference organized by Wu Gao Zhai, where nearly 2,000 people still came with all kinds of restrictions, and it is not easy to find a meeting venue, otherwise there is no need for a big battle like a cruise ship.

There are few people, it is convenient to organize, the exchange meeting is one day, the Dou Gu Contest is one day, and this is the end, so tonight's activity is to let go of the belly to eat and drink, Gui Miao Gu Gate must be to break some money, but with the home advantage, you can take advantage of a little bit in the Dou Gu Conference, and the return at that time is not something that can be bought with money.

Most people are drunk, the venue of this time is a large karst cave in the karst mountain area in the southwest of Goose City, the cave is very large, dozens of torches are inserted, a piece of brightness, basically old acquaintances, and there is no need to arrange any seats, sit and walk at will, find acquaintances to drink, eat meat with strangers' chopsticks, and often deal with Gu people, the resistance is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The wine was not the little five greens of the Yunnan Miao Gu Sect, drinking it was not beneficial to cultivation, Yu Ye didn't want to drink it, but when the Gui Miao Gu Sect learned that he was the legendary Heavenly Gu Venerable, there were more people who came to toast.

Xiao Wulu can't drink Yu Ye, these ordinary liquors are even more impossible, the alcohol concentration around him is getting higher and higher, and the redwoods like small tails are drunk again, fortunately, it's just a toast and not a fight, and the people of Xiangxi Gumen have a gap with Yu Ye because of the previous incident, so they just wait and see silently from the side.

Full of wine and food, he slept all over the place in the big cave, because there were many people, Yu Ye did not cultivate anymore, and rested on the cave wall for a night.

Early the next morning, the exchange meeting of the Gu Gate began.

The exchange conference is dominated by all kinds of poisonous insects and spiritual objects, and the outer eight gates have been excluded for countless years, so naturally they can't participate in the trading and auction conference of the Supreme Fast, at most they can go in and watch the excitement as a loose practice, and they can't actually afford to buy anything with their financial resources, and the resources at hand can't sell for any price. Therefore, many spirit grasses and spirit stones appeared at the exchange meeting.

The light in the cave was not good, and the location of the exchange meeting was placed outside the cave, which was also not organized. The price is set by yourself, and you can say what you want to exchange, and when you meet someone who needs it, the ordinary things in your hand may also be exchanged for precious items.

The ten disciples of the Yunnan Miao Gu Sect are also "setting up stalls", and most of the things are special poisons brought back from foreign countries, but the Gu Sect of Xiangxi and Gui Miao will also go out to find these things, and the "business" of the Dian Miao Gu Sect is not very good.

Elder She had asked Guo Ye if there was anything he needed. Yu Ye shook his head and refused, although he saw a lot of spirit grasses that were still precious, they were far inferior to his Heavenly Immortal Lotus and Seven Apertures. The Seven Tricks are still kept in the headquarters of Yanhuang Awakening, and it is expected that the fruits will be ripe after returning this time.

The pill should not be taken often, otherwise it will only hinder your future cultivation, and you can go to Banna again when you need it. Such a big rainforest. There will always be a harvest, and when you need it urgently, you can also ask for some from Yanhuang Awakening, and then you can return the pill.

After a little disappointed stroll, Yu Ye stopped in front of a stall selling cordyceps.

There are nearly 200 kinds of Cordyceps in China, the most famous of which is naturally Cordyceps, this stall holder can be seen from the hat and the cloak behind him is the person of Guimiao Gumen, there are also Cordyceps sinensis on the stall, and the grade is good. At least grade 5 or above.

What stopped Yu Ye was not cordyceps, but a small plastic bag that the man put in the corner of the stall. The plastic bag contained a number of dead ants, as well as a few moths, some of which were covered in white hair; Some of them are clean, but they have long "horns" on their heads, and some of them have round balls on them; Some have tiny, nail-like mushrooms growing on their bodies; There are also some things like "vines" that are covered in twists and turns, and they look like they are in a terrible state of death.

Yu Ye had seen this kind of thing before—zombie fungus.

Zombie fungus is a kind of fungus, which is not much different from other cordyceps in nature, but this fungus has a special ability, when the insect is infected by it, it will take charge of the insect's brain, so that the infected insect becomes a walking corpse-like thing, and can walk around until it finds an environment that the zombie fungus thinks is suitable for its own growth, which kills the infected insect and begins to spread and grow in its body, which is difficult to detect in the first few days until it breaks out.

In addition, the propagation mode of zombie fungi is also very special, with horns or nails, and its spores can stick to passing creatures and infect these creatures, that is, create new "zombies"; The white-haired ones can use the wind to disperse the spores; In addition, there are "explosive" spores that form directly inside the bug's body, and when a new prey approaches, it will shoot the spores directly and start a new zombie journey.

Zombie fungi can infect many insects, moths, grasshoppers, crickets, but they prefer ants, some scientists pointed out that there may be thousands of species of zombie fungi in the world, and they are aimed at different ant populations, without interfering with each other.

In this bag of insect corpses, most of the zombie fungi have died, similar to Cordyceps, but there are still some insect corpses with living spores, the spores are very small, but they can't escape Yu Ye's divine sense.

Yu Ye was moved, he was thinking about whether he could transform it and let this fungus act on large creatures or even people? It's just that plant-based zombie Gu can't accept divine sense orders, and it's impossible to control the infected through fungi like chasing corpses, but this is a good way to kill people, and it's difficult to be discovered, and for powerful ancient warriors, fungi are more effective than true qi or poison.

The Cordyceps seller was a man in his thirties, probably not doing well, and his face was full of disappointment.

Yu Ye pointed to the plastic bag and asked, "How do you sell this bag?" ”

The other party looked at the bag, then at the very valuable cordyceps sinensis in the center of the stall, then at Yu Ye, and said, "You buy my cordyceps, I'll give you this package, this is what I found from the Atlantic rainforest in Brazil!" ”

"Oh, okay, how do you sell your cordyceps? How much? Yu Ye paused for a moment and asked with a smile.

"This ...... What do you have to change? I don't want money. ”

"Do you want a spirit stone? I'm a good one. Yu Ye said and took out the White Immortal Stone in the Fly Belly Gu.

The white immortal stone is a good spiritual stone, full of spiritual energy, and it is a good thing in the entire exchange meeting, as soon as the other party saw it, his eyes lit up, and he passed the white immortal stone with a gun, and threw down the sentence: "It's all yours", and squeezed into the crowd in the envious eyes of others.

And the eyes that everyone looked at Yu Ye turned into the eyes of an idiot - how could anyone exchange such a good spirit stone for Cordyceps? (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you Meng Yanran for your monthly pass, if nothing else, there will be a change later, continue to ask for tickets!
