Chapter 137: Self-inflicted
Looking at Wen Ziqi, who stopped casting spells because of doubts, Qi Le said disapprerovingly: "My lord, isn't there a saying that I can't forget, I don't forget!" β
"Never forget?" Wen Ziqi looked surprised, and said with a smile: "With this talent, you shouldn't be like this!" β
It's not that he is prejudiced against the guards, but if it is really as he said, if he should not be honest all the way to the official career, how can he be born in the army?
Mu Na's Qi Le seemed to understand a little bit of Wen Ziqi's meaning, so he smiled bitterly and said: "My family is already poor, and there have been tragic changes in the middle, and it is difficult to continue with food and clothing, how dare I have other ideas!" β
Perhaps he didn't expect him to say what happened to him so open-mindedly, Wen Ziqi nodded apprehensively, and said empathetically: "The world is impermanent, and no one can resist the rings of fate!" β
After saying that, he didn't care whether Qi Le could understand it or not, so he lowered his head and continued to pull Gu for Lao Li.
Drawing circles in his hands, he muttered over and over again: "Wool boils, Miao Jiang Secret Gu, the pores of the Gu people are open, and sweat is like rain." It is necessary to wipe the chest and back with realgar pan mountain end dipped in soju. Alternately wipe back and forth eighteen times each. This is repeated several times until the hairs come out. It seemed to be muttering to himself, as if he was intentionally saying it to Qi Le.
Qi Le stared at it, savoring everything he had just heard, and after a long time, as if he had thought of something suspicious, his eyebrows furrowed together, and he asked in a low voice, "Lord Wen, how can you avoid being in the Gu?" β
Wen Ziqi was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that Qi Le, who seemed to be naΓ―ve and simple, was so smart, so he hurriedly said: "Gu art is a unique witchcraft in Miao Jiang, and it is rare to see it in my Great Zhou Land, and not everyone can encounter it. As for how to avoid it, it's relatively simple! β
Qi Le, who originally looked solemn, heard such a mysterious thing, but it was extremely simple to avoid it, so he hurriedly asked anxiously, "What is the method?" β
"Ask!" Wen Ziqi smiled lightly and joked: "Is it simple enough!" β
The corners of Qi Le's mouth twitched, and he looked at Wen Ziqi with an incredulous expression, he was convinced of what the person in front of him said, but this was too simple, it was a little unbelievable!
Looking at Qi Le with a blank face, Wen Ziqi smiled and explained: "Gu art is witchcraft, you can't use common sense to judge, the mysterious and unpredictable Gu people are no different from ordinary people on weekdays, but when they are under Gu, they have to follow their hearts, that is, they can't lie." β
Qi Le nodded suddenly, and after a little thought, he said: "The little one understands, there is still one drawback in the heaven-given secret technique, and it will never be perfected." β
Wen Ziqi nodded appreciatively, and then raised his hand to signal Lao Li to turn around and sit in front of him.
Maybe it was the Gu pulling on his back just now that caused the Gu worms in his abdomen to stir, but I saw that Lao Li, who was already a little pale, had an even more ugly face at this time.
Qi Le raised his head suspiciously, but when he saw Wen Ziqi's calm face, he dispelled all the doubts in his head.
"How?" Wen Ziqi seemed to know what he wanted to ask just now, so he smiled slightly: "Do you want to ask why Lao Li has not only not been relieved, but has become more serious?" β
Qi Le was slightly surprised when he heard this, scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled: "If you go back to the adult, the little one wants to ask about it, but then I think about it, since the adults don't think it's inappropriate, it must be normal." β
Wen Ziqi glanced up, and seemed to be a little surprised by what Qi Le said, so he said softly: "Gu art is a rather strange secret technique, you can understand it as a living poison in the body. β
"There is life," Qi Le looked surprised, and said suspiciously, "What do you mean by your lordship, Gu is actually alive?" β
"That's right," Wen Ziqi nodded, and then said, "The few known ones now are poisoned with live Gu, and they will be used in the body after being taken by people. β
"So that's the case," Qi Le nodded suddenly, looked sideways at Lao Li's abdomen in disbelief, and said in surprise: "This Gu seems to be afraid of these three things, and as soon as the back heart is driven away, it will run to the front of the heart, so Lao Li is more uncomfortable than it looked just now." β
Wen Ziqi nodded appreciatively, and said with a slight smile: "Your explanation is quite interesting, and it can be understood as soon as you hear it." β
After listening to the praise, Qi Le seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he reached out and rubbed the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "The villain is stupid, he can only think like this." β
Hearing this, Wen Ziqi hurriedly interrupted him and said softly: "You must not be arrogant, you are not stupid at all, and being able to think like this shows that your way of looking at things is different from the perspective of ordinary people." If you take time to adjust, the results are limitless. β
"Ah," Qi Le immediately smiled when he heard the adult in front of him praise him like this, and said with a smile: "My lord, you are really good at enlightenment, and you still know how many catties and taels you have." Speaking of this, he sighed and muttered almost silently: "If I am really as the adults say, I should be able to find out Lao Li's strangeness." β
I wanted to pretend not to hear it, but seeing that he seemed to blame himself for Lao Li's Gu technique, Wen Ziqi had no choice but to sigh secretly and asked, "Why do you say that." β
I thought that my voice was small enough that it was impossible for the adult in front of me to hear it, but now when I heard Wen Ziqi ask like this, I knew that all the muttering words just now had been heard.
In desperation, he had to chuckle and said, "Although the little one doesn't read much, he never believes in what they say about immortality..."
"What did you say?" Wen Ziqi stretched out his hand to interrupt him who was about to continue, and asked with a solemn expression, "You just said them?" Who are they? β
Qi Le, who was suddenly interrupted, thought that he had said something wrong again, and was thinking about where to make this adult unhappy, but now seeing that he actually opened his mouth to ask, he hurriedly replied: "It's those armor guards who take medicine all day long and want to live forever!" β
Hearing this, Wen Ziqi gasped, as far as he knew, there was no medicine that could make people immortal and stay young. Even if there is, I'm afraid it's worth a thousand gold, and it's definitely not something that some small armor guards can afford.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why, many of you guards take elixir?" β
As if this matter was not a secret, Qi Le nodded disapprerovingly, "It's a lot, but many people eat one pill every three or five days, and Lao Li spent all his savings on it because he had no children and no other hobbies." β
Wen Ziqi's expression was abrupt, he looked Qi Le up and down, and said, "Although I don't know what the immortality pill is made of, it shouldn't be inseparable from the three essences and spirits. However, each of these three supplements is expensive, and depending on the financial resources of your guards, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear it. How can so many people take it? β
As if knowing that Wen Ziqi said this vaguely to save his face, Qi Le said gratefully: "The villain has only heard about it, and I don't know the specific details, but there is basically no one like Lao Li who eats pills as food." Speaking of this, he was dark, and looked at Wen Ziqi as if he suddenly thought of something.
Although it was only a short moment, it was still discovered by Wen Ziqi, who had been watching him.
Seeing that his words came to his mouth and swallowed again, Wen Ziqi was slightly surprised, although it was only a few hours, a clear-eyed person knew at a glance that he was straight, and it was impossible to say it when it came to his mouth.
His tone was soft, and he said with a smile: "What, like this with me?" β
Seeing that it was broken, Qi Le looked slightly embarrassed, and said with a helpless wry smile: "It's not that the villain is unwilling to tell the adult, but the villain feels that such a trivial matter is a little embarrassing to trouble the adult." β
Hearing this, Wen Ziqi was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled and said, "Say, what's the matter!"
Qi Le, who got the approval, narrowed his eyebrows, thought for a moment and said: "Lord Shicai said that as long as you ask, you can avoid being tricked, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and no one knows whether the person on the other side is harboring evil intentions, so you can't just ask when you meet someone." β
Wen Ziqi's whole body was shocked, he raised his eyes to look up and down at the immature armor guard in front of him, and said with a long breath: "Are you afraid that there are people around you who are proficient in Gu arts?" β
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Qi Le rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and said lightly: "If you go back to the adult, the little one has this idea, because I know that there are not many people in Lao Li's knowledge, except for some people who have intersected in the palace, because there should be no chance to contact the people of Miao Jiang, so..."
Wen Ziqi was so smart, when he heard this, he naturally knew what Qi Le meant by what he said, so he smiled and said playfully: "Do you think that the person who is a Gu should be among the people you know?" β
Qi Le didn't speak, just closed his lips and nodded slowly.
The afternoon sun is particularly dazzling, even when you come in through the window.
Wen Ziqi raised his hand, pointed to the armor guard lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "People's hearts are unpredictable, no one knows what is hidden under the skin, just like him." β
"Him?" Qi Le obviously didn't expect that Wen Ziqi suddenly turned to the guard who had been unconscious, and asked suspiciously, "My lord, do you mean that he is the one who has fallen into the Gu?" β
Wen Ziqi shook his head and sighed, "How could he be a Gu person?" Look at how heavy he sleeps, he can only be regarded as a sad person at best! β
Qi Le, who was sitting on the side, looked at the armor guard on the ground in confusion after hearing this, and muttered, "Sad person? Did you see the tears in the corners of his eyes, or do you know something? β
Wen Ziqi shook his head, a slight smile appeared on his lips, "I'm not familiar with him, of course I don't know if he is a Gu person, but I can infer it based on some details!" β
Qi Le, who was at a loss, heard this, and suddenly said: "What do you mean by adults, even strangers who have never known each other can make inferences through minutiae, and the same can be true for people who are under Gu?" β
