Chapter 54: Puppet Soul Gu
On the way down the mountain, I met an old man dressed in Miao clothes, carrying a large backpack with some herbs in it.
The road was a little narrow, Li Chu and Yun Mo turned sideways and moved out of the way a little, letting the old man go first.
The old man kept his head down.
As he walked past them, the old man seemed to stumble and fell unsteadily toward them.
Seeing that he was about to run into Li Chu, Yun Mo took her to the side.
The old man grabbed Yun Mo's arm and stood firm.
Yun Mo stared at his hand.
"Thank you, young man." The old man looked at them embarrassedly.
Yun Mo looked at him sharply, and suddenly made a move on him.
Li Chu looked dazed, what's the matter, there is something wrong with this old man?
Meng Yi stood beside Li Chu to protect her.
Yun Mo shot fiercely, the old man was not his opponent, and he dodged in embarrassment.
After only ten moves, the old man fell to the ground.
Meng Yi stepped forward and was about to take him away, when the old man suddenly threw out a smoke bomb, with a loud bang, Meng Yi was shrouded in it, and Yun Mo took Li Chu to fly away and dodge.
When the smoke cleared, the old man was gone.
"Are you alright?" Li Chu looked Yun Mo up and down.
"I'm fine, Ah Li don't worry." Yun Mo held her hand, and his body stiffened slightly.
But he returned to normal in an instant, and smiled at Li Chu, "Let's go back first." ”
"Okay."
……
"What? You've been attacked! Chu Jue almost jumped up, "Who is it?" ”
"An old man of the Miao tribe."
Li Chu thought about it, it was really wrong, it was almost dark, so why did the old man still go up the mountain?
"It's a young man pretending." Yun Mo said lightly.
Fake? Li Chu didn't see it at all, no wonder Yun Mo would make a move on him.
Yun Mo continued, "Judging from the number of his martial arts paths, it should be a Miao from Southern Xinjiang." ”
They shouldn't have any enemies in southern Xinjiang, could it be that the people of the alliance arranged it?
Or was it the Men in Black from before?
"Ahem." Yun Mo suddenly coughed lightly with his fist against his lips, as if he was a little forbearing.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Chu was a little worried and patted him on the back.
"It's okay, maybe it's blowing in the mountains."
Yun Mo smiled softly at her, his face was as usual, and he seemed to be really fine.
"Then go back to your room and rest, don't catch a cold." Li Chu was anxious and hurriedly helped him into the room.
Chu Jue was speechless, is this guy a person who will get sick if he blows a little wind? Let's talk nonsense.
Xiao Li Li, this is care, and chaos is chaotic.
Li Chu helped Yun Mo back to the room, pressed him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt tightly.
"Alley, go pour me a bowl of hot water." Yun Mo looked at Li Chu's anxious appearance and chuckled.
"Okay." There was no hot water in the room, so Li Chu tucked the quilt for him and went out.
When the door closed, Yun Mo stood up, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
The old man felt a tingling pain as he grabbed his arm, and he felt something was wrong at that time.
Yun Mo also knows some medical skills, but he can't feel what the reason is, not like poisoning, but like ......
Hearing the footsteps, thinking that Li Chu was back, Yun Mo quickly wiped the blood stains away.
Li Chu came in cautiously with water.
"Here, take a sip of water." Li Chu blew a few mouthfuls before bringing the bowl to his mouth, "Be careful of burning." ”
It was the first time for Li Chu to see that Yun Mo was unwell, and he was a little nervous for a while.
Yun Mo sat up and took a sip of water from the bowl, rubbing her hair, "I'm really fine, Ah Li don't worry." ”
"Why does it smell of blood?" Li Chu wrinkled her nose, she was sensitive to taste.
"No, maybe there was blood on it when I dealt with that person today." Yun Mo pinched her face with ease.
"Really?" Li Chu was suspicious and grabbed his messy hand, "No, you take off your clothes, I'll check it." ”
Li Chu is not at ease, it is better to check it, in case he is injured.
"Ali wants to take off my clothes and just say it, I've seen it anyway." Yun Mo looked at her ambiguously.
Li Chu's face flushed, and his hair exploded instantly, "Who wants to see you, hurry up!" Otherwise, I'll do it. ”
As he spoke, he was about to pick off his clothes, but Yun Mo remained motionless and blinked at her.
Li Chu inexplicably felt like he was bullying him, looked at him with a look at his mercy, and said angrily, "Lie on your stomach." ”
Yun Mo obediently turned over and lay on his stomach.
Li Chu grabbed the collar and pulled his clothes down, and suddenly his entire back was exposed.
Looking at his sleek and sturdy back, Li Chu looked away very unproductively, and his face turned red again when he finally returned to normal.
Calming down, Li Chu carefully examined it and found no injuries.
"Turn it over."
Yun Mo obediently did so, looking at her fixedly, Li Chu's face turned even redder, inexplicably thinking that he was a hooligan, what's the matter?
Li Chu took a cursory glance at the past and was not injured, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Would you like to check out the rest of the place?" Yun Mo teased her.
Li Chu was embarrassed, stared at him, and suddenly smiled toothily, "Okay." ”
As a new human being in the 21st century, can he still be afraid that he will not become an ancient?
If you have the ability, you will be stripped naked.
Seeing that Yun Mo was about to untie his belt, Li Chu hurriedly pressed his hand to stop him, "Ahem, no need, I'm joking with you, I'll give you something to eat." ”
Seeing Li Chu hide his face and flee, Yun Mo chuckled.
Suddenly thought of something, and the next moment his face became solemn, Yun Mo checked his pulse, but he didn't notice any problems, and his body didn't seem to have any discomfort.
But it will never vomit blood for no reason.
When Li Chu came back with the food, Yun Mo was already sitting at the table waiting for her, his face was normal, and he seemed to be really fine, Li Chu finally put his mind at ease.
Yun Mo is so powerful, how could he be injured, it seems that she has thought too much.
Meng Yi and his people searched around that area, but they didn't find any trace of that person.
Chu Jue also let his subordinates investigate.
Five days passed quickly, and on this day, Twilight sent someone to invite them, saying that the high priest had already left the customs.
Li Chu, Yun Mo, and Chu Jue went to the bamboo forest again.
When he happened to meet Song Han who came out of it at the gate, Song Hanshi smiled at them and left without saying anything.
Looking at Song Han's unnatural face, Li Chu guessed that his trip might not be smooth.
The three of them were still invited to the main hall, and Twilight Jiuniang politely invited them to sit down, and the maid served them tea.
Although she looks to be only in her twenties, she is said to be in her forties.
When Li Chu first found out about this, she was very surprised, she was really well maintained.
Granny Qin stood behind Du Jiu Niang, and Du Yunbi sat opposite Li Chu, sitting upright, as if she was very restrained in front of her master.
"Miss Li, the owner of Yunzhuang, the owner of Chulou." Du Jiuniang looked at them lightly, "I don't know why a few people came?" ”
"There's something I want to ask the high priest about." Li Chu smiled politely at her, "Can you talk to the high priest alone?" ”
Du Jiuniang looked at her for a moment, waved her hand, and Granny Qin withdrew with the maids.
"Xiaoyun also go out." Twilight Jiuniang glanced at Twilight Yunbi.
Twilight glanced at Li Chu before leaving, and Li Chu winked playfully at her.
"Miss Li, if you have something to say, just say it." Twilight Jiuniang quietly looked at the petals floating in the teacup, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Then I'll just say, I don't know if the high priest knows about the Xuanling Secret Realm?"
Li Chu carefully observed her reaction.
Du Jiuniang's expression remained unchanged, and she said lightly, "People in the world, I'm afraid that there is nothing I don't know." ”
Indeed, the Mysterious Spirit Secret Realm is a place that people all over the world yearn for.
"As for the Guardian of the Secret Realm, the High Priest should know." Li Chu was not in a hurry.
Du Jiuniang glanced at her lightly, "Miss Li can ask directly if she wants to ask, no need to beat around the corner." ”
Well, this is what she said herself, then she is welcome.
"The High Priest has something to do with the Guardian of the Secret Realm, right?"
"Miss Li laughed, it doesn't matter." Mu Jiuniang still had an indifferent look on her face.
Li Chu smiled noncommittally.
Du Jiuniang glanced at her lightly, "If Miss Li wants to find out about the Xuanling Secret Realm from me, I'm afraid I'll be disappointed, I don't know more than you." ”
"Yes."
"If there's nothing else to do, a few of you, please go back." Twilight Jiuniang put the teacup down.
"Okay, that's okay." Li Chu was not disappointed, this time he only came to probe her tone, and he didn't expect her to tell them.
Du Jiuniang looked at Yun Mo and suddenly asked, "Are you surnamed Mo?" ”
Yun Mo glanced at her lightly, "No." ”
Li Chu felt a little strange, was there anything wrong with whether he had a surname or not?
What's more, didn't Du Jiuniang know their identities, how could she ask such a question?
It's weird.
Du Jiuniang nodded and didn't speak again, looking at their backs, thoughtful.
"Sister Li, what did you say to Master?" Seeing them coming out, Twilight stepped forward to ask.
Li Chu smiled softly at her, "Adults don't understand children's affairs. ”
Li Chu didn't want Twilight Yunbi to get involved, so he didn't want to tell her.
"I'm not a child." Twilight flattened her mouth in dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoyun is a big girl." Li Chu touched her head and comforted her.
Twilight was happy again.
"Let's go first, we won't leave Southern Xinjiang for the time being, you have time to come and play with me."
Twilight nodded and watched them leave.
Li Chu and Yun Mo planned to stay for a few more days to see if they could find out any other news, and the person who attacked them on the mountain had not yet been found.
The next day, Twilight Yunbi came to find Li Chu.
Li Chu went out shopping with her, but Yun Mo didn't mean to be together, but just asked Meng Yi to follow her.
Li Chu felt that Yun Mo was a little strange, wasn't it all very clingy before.
"What's the matter with you?" Chu Jue looked at Yun Mo strangely, how could this guy be willing to let Li Chu go out alone, this is not like him.
"I suspect I've fallen for Gu." Yun Mo said this sentence flatly.
Chu Jue was startled, the fan didn't shake anymore, the volume was a few points higher, and he looked at him in disbelief, "What?" ”
He heard him right.
"But I can't find out."
When the man touched him that day on the mountain, he felt as if something had entered his body, not to mention that the stinging pain was real.
"I'll go find a Gu doctor to show you." Chu Jue's face was solemn.
Yun Mo nodded, "Find a reliable person and don't tell Ah Li for the time being." ”
"Why? I think Xiao Lili's medical skills are not bad, maybe she has a way. Chu Jue stared at him, what did this guy think.
"I don't want her to worry." Yun Mo sighed slightly, Ali had never been exposed to Gu poison before, maybe it would scare her.
Okay, Chu Jue shook his head and went out, love really makes people lose themselves.
Chu Jue quickly found a well-known local Gu doctor.
The Gu doctor examined Yun Mo carefully, and also studied the small red dot on his arm.
This little red dot has been there since returning that day.
Li Chu only took a general look at it before, and did not examine his arm carefully, and the wound was small, so he didn't notice it.
The Gu Doctor pondered for a moment and shook his head with a sigh.
Chu Jue was shocked, is this hopeless? Chu Jue looked at the Gu doctor steadily, you said, he was in a hurry.
The Gu doctor touched his white beard and said slowly, "You have indeed been planted with Gu in your body, but the old man is only a shallow learner, and he has never seen this kind of Gu worm, so you better ask for another skill." ”
"There is labor." Yun Mo politely sent the Gu doctor out.
Chu Jue looked at his calm appearance, he was about to die, did this guy realize the seriousness of this matter, he was hit by Gu, isn't this terrifying?
"Then what now, find another Gu doctor to take a look at you?" Chu Jue paced back and forth, a little irritable in his heart.
"Since someone is trying to plant Gu on me, they won't let us solve it easily, wait, let's see what their purpose is."
Yun Mo was calm.
Chu Jue looked at him helplessly, at this time, he was still like no one, and he was really not a normal person.
Li Chu had been thinking about Yun Mo all the time, and he didn't go shopping for long before coming back.
Almost as soon as the Gu Doctor left her, she entered the door, and she came back with Twilight Yunbi.
Chu Jue was startled when he saw them coming back, but fortunately, the Gu doctor had already left, and he almost let her see it.
"What's wrong with you, weird." Li Chu felt that something was wrong with Chu Jue.
"No, what's weird." Chu Jue was a little weak-hearted, he didn't dare to look at her directly, and turned to Yun Mo, "Yun Mo, did you say it?" ”
Sure enough, you can't lie, Chu Jue feels that his whole person is not good.
Yun Mo ignored him, just looked at Li Chu gently.
Li Chu's suspicious gaze turned on them, and her instinct told her that they must have something to hide from her, and it had something to do with her.
Yun Mo pulled her to sit down, "Are you hungry, let's eat first." ”
"Hmm." Li Chu sat down obediently, but he was thinking about how to let them say it.
Eat, eat, eat, you know, when it's time, and still eat.
Chu Jue sat down angrily, anyway, it wasn't him who fell for the Gu, and the people who should be in a hurry were not in a hurry, what was he anxious about here.
Okay, okay, let's eat first.
"Xiaoyun, come, eat this." Li Chu temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart.
Twilight Bi glanced at Yun Mo a few times, her expression was strange, and she wanted to speak again, but in the end she still didn't say it.
After chatting for a while after eating, Li Chu sent Twilight Yunbi out, and she couldn't go back too late.
"Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you?" During the meal, Li Chu noticed that Twilight Yunbi was a little strange.
Why is everyone weird today?
"Uh......" Twilight Yunbi looked at her and said hesitantly, "Sister Li, has my brother-in-law fallen for the Gu?" ”
What the? Medium Gu!
Li Chu hurriedly ran back to the house, looked at Yun Mo nervously, grabbed his hand and took his pulse.
Yun Mo sighed lightly and looked at her helplessly, but he didn't expect to let her know.
Twilight Yunbi also followed Li Chu in, looking at Li Chu's solemn face, Twilight Yunbi was a little dazed.
She originally thought that Sister Li knew, and thought that they came to Southern Xinjiang to find Master to solve the Gu.
Now it seems that Sister Li doesn't know? Then they came to southern Xinjiang for something else.
Li Chu frowned, she couldn't check it, and there didn't seem to be any problem with her pulse.
But she's not good at Gu poison,
Li Chu asked Twilight Yunbi for help, "Xiaoyun, let's please show him." ”
Twilight Yunbi nodded, and sat down to take Yun Mo's pulse.
Yun Mo seemed to be a little resistant, frowning and retracting his hand.
Li Chu looked at him speechlessly, when did he still care about this.
But helplessly, Yun Mo really didn't like other people's touches, so he had to take his hand and cover him with a handkerchief on it, "That's all right." ”
Yun Mo looked at her silently, as if he was a little aggrieved.
Chu Jue almost didn't laugh.
Twilight looked at it carefully, her expression becoming more and more serious.
This is not an ordinary Gu, and she can't help it, what can she do? Twilight was worried about them.
Looking at Twilight Yunbi's serious expression, Li Chuxin on the side was frightened, very serious?
Twilight Yunbi withdrew her hand, and Li Chu hurriedly asked her, "How is it?" ”
"It's a puppet soul Gu." Twilight Yunbi frowned, "This Gu is specially refined for controlling people's minds. ”
Control the mind, that person wants to control Yun Mo?
"Is there a way to solve it?"
Twilight Yunbi shook her head in embarrassment, she had no choice, it was said that the High Priest had ordered a hundred years ago that this Gu should no longer be fed.
So this kind of Gu has long disappeared, she has never seen this kind of Gu, she has only seen it in books, but there is no record of the method of solving Gu in the books.
I didn't expect that there are still people secretly raising it now, and this matter must be reported to the master.
"What then?" Li Chu was in a hurry.
Yun Mo comforted her, "Ah Li, I'm fine......"
"When did you find out?" Li Chu glared at him, but he didn't tell himself, and he planned to hide it like this?
"Just a few days ago." Yun Mo's eyes flashed slightly.
Li Chu looked at him fixedly, "The day we went up the mountain to collect medicine?" ”
"Hmm."
"You know that, too?" Li Chu suddenly looked at Chu Jue on the side.
"Didn't I just find out?" Chu Jue was very innocent, he just knew a little earlier than her.
Li Chu glared at him, okay, let's join forces and hide from her, right?
"Alley......
"Don't speak." Li Chu glared at Yun Mo.
"What will be the reaction after being hit by the Gu?" Li Chu asked Twilight Yunbi.
Twilight Yunbi thought for a moment, "If the person who is under the Gu doesn't urge the Gu worm, it won't do any harm to the body. Maybe my master will have a way, I'll go back and ask. ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Li Chu looked at her gratefully.
"Sister Li, don't worry, there will be a way." Twilight comforted her softly.
"Hmm."
