Chapter 11: Unraveling Gu

When Ding Xiaolan bought these things back, he saw Qi Lu roll up his sleeves and use a brush to write on his arm, and the order of the spells written was from the tiger's mouth, up his arm, until his forearm

After writing, he picked a few eggs with white shells and asked Ding Xiaolan to cook them, first peeling the skin of water chestnuts, mashing them in a blue and white bowl, and then soaking them in warm boiled water

After about five minutes, Qi Lu put the licorice in the bowl again, and when the water in the bowl leached a faint yellow, he sat down at the table and wrote a spell on the yellow paper that had been prepared

When Ding Xiaolan boiled the eggs and took them to the living room, he saw that Qi Lu was still writing characters, so he asked him: "Why are you afraid of Zhong Gu?"

"Gu cultivation is originally a witchcraft passed down in ancient times, it originated in Yin Shang, and later when King Wu of Zhou seized the world, he was poisoned by the wizards in the Shang Dynasty army, and almost lost his life, so the first thing he did after unifying the world and dividing the kings was to exile all the wizards who knew Gu art to Miao Jiang, and even their descendants migrated together, since then Gu art has only prevailed in the Miao Xinjiang region, and very few people in the Central Plains can master the skills of Gu raising."

"Don't talk so far, first tell me your own reasons," Ding Xiaolan pursed her mouth

"Don't say it's me, even Da Luo Jin Immortal is in danger of dying if he is poisoned by Gu," Qi Lu patiently explained to her: "And what I am in is the Golden Silkworm Gu, it is the most vicious Gu in the Gu technique, it can be hidden in the human body for several years, it is not easy to detect, but once the Gu person has an attack, the abdominal pain is unbearable, and the swelling is like an urn, and he will bleed to death within three days."

Ding Xiaolan was horrified in her heart after hearing Qi Lu's words, she had heard her uncle Chen Jixian say that after the cultivation of the Golden Silkworm Gu, the whole body is invulnerable, even if the heavenly thunder also splits it, it will not die, if there is no unique spell of the caster, it is difficult for ordinary people to eradicate it, only after the death of its parasitic host will it be transferred to the next target, even if someone finds the sign halfway and uses deep mana to drive it out of the body, the Golden Silkworm Gu will also turn into a snake, frog and other animal forms within a few days, and return to his body with the help of gold, silver, and wooden items that the host has used

Thinking of this, Ding Xiaolan was also anxious, and she said to Qi Lu: "Then you quickly want to drive it out of your body."

"Not only is it driven out, I also have to think of ways to destroy it, the Golden Silkworm Gu is cruel by nature, not only will it take the life of the host, but even the person who raises it must feed it a child under the age of three every year, otherwise, the Golden Silkworm Gu will eat the life of the person who raised the Gu."

Ding Xiaolan gritted her teeth and said: "It's too vicious, all these people who raise golden silkworms should be arrested and shot."

"Fortunately, I found it earlier, and there is still a way to cure it," Qi Lu wiped the cold sweat on his face and said, "But I'm still a little worried that it is Pei Liping who raises Gu, and he is a person who can do spells."

"What's wrong with spells, is his mana higher than yours?"

"I'm worried that he cast some kind of spell on the Golden Silkworm Gu, if that's the case, it's not as simple as harming people's lives."

As he spoke, Qi Lu Fu had finished writing, he lit the incense candle, stepped on the gang, recited the incantation, and after reciting, burned the talisman to ashes in front of the incense candle, mixed it into a blue and white bowl soaked in water chestnuts and licorice, and took the bowl by himself, and drank half of the talisman water inside

"I put the egg in my mouth for ten minutes, take it out, if the egg white turns black, then put it in the rune water and soak it for a minute, if the water also turns black, then I will be sure that I have hit the Golden Silkworm Gu," Qi Lu had already peeled an egg as he spoke, and he took the whole egg into his mouth

"If you really fall into the Golden Silkworm Gu, how are you going to deal with it?"

"Ahh

Ding Xiaolan was amused by Qi Lu's funny appearance, and she had to wait for the result on the sidelines

Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, Qi Lu took the egg out of his mouth and was stunned, because the egg white did not change color at all

"Alas, it's really unfounded," Ding Xiaolan smiled softly and looked at Qi Lu's embarrassed expression with great enjoyment

"Impossible," Qi Lu hesitantly put the egg in the bowl, and Fu Shui did not turn black as he expected, but dyed the original light layer of yellow even more yellow

"Is it because your spell doesn't work or is you making a fuss," Ding Xiaolan's eyes were full of ridicule

"It was me who was wrong"

"I know that I wronged Mr. Pei" Ding Xiaolan has always had a good impression of Pei Liping

"No" Qi Luqiang endured the unhappiness in his heart, stared at Ding Xiaolan and said in a deep voice: "I don't have a Zhongjin Silkworm Gu, it doesn't mean that Pei Liping doesn't raise Gu."

"I think you don't admit your mistakes to death," Ding Xiaolan felt that Qi Lu was quibbling at all

"When I touched the doorknob, something did sneak into my body," Qi Lu patiently said to her: "I admit that I was biased against Pei Liping and misjudged, but through this bowl of water, I still recognized what was in my belly."

Ding Xiaolan asked: "What is it?"

"Money Gu"

"Hahahaha" Ding Xiaolan laughed so much that even tears came out, she had heard of cat Gu, spider Gu, snake Gu, golden silkworm Gu, cuo Gu, swollen Gu, crazy Gu and the like, and had never heard of any money Gu Eighty percent of it was Qi Lu's own blind Gu to cover up his mistakes

"Only Qian Gu can dye this talisman water even more yellow, as for whether I made a mistake again, I will prove it to you right away," After speaking, Qi Lu walked towards her and took off his shirt as he walked

"Don't come here, or I'll beat you," Ding Xiaolan retreated in surprise, not knowing why Qi Lu wanted to play a hooligan, could it be that his cynicism just now forced him to lust, Ding Xiaolan's heart suddenly pulled up, her eyes looked around, ready to find something to defend herself

"What are you screaming nonsense, if you don't help, how can I force out the money Gu" Qi Lu approached step by step, and the essence of his upper body had been taken off

"Don't come here, I'm going to call the police," Ding Xiaolan said in a trembling voice

She suddenly felt a panic in her heart, remembering that her parents had taught her to know people and faces, but not hearts, and so on, her face couldn't help but swell

But now the room is just the two of them, if Qi Lu really wants to use force, how can she deal with it, Ding Xiaolan bit her lip tightly, and her hand has already reached the mobile phone in her coat pocket

Qi Lu stood still in front of her and said indifferently: "Wait a minute, I want to paste a charm on my back, I need you to help me paste it."

Ding Xiaolan's face was even redder, but this time she blushed because she misunderstood Qi Lu, she raised her head and saw that Qi Lu's expression was very serious, and she immediately regretted it and blamed him in her heart

Qi Lu returned to the table as if he didn't know anything, and drew six talismans in a short time, he lit six more lamps of the Jiao altar, arranged them in the direction of the six stars of the Southern Dipper, and sat in the middle with his feet on his knees, reciting the incantation

Unlike the spells that Ding Xiaolan had never understood in the past, this time Qi Lu recited them word by word, and Ding Xiaolan understood all of them, and this spell was only a short twenty-eight words: "Break the dark candle and open the spring under the darkness, the night is long, the hell demon Gu is stagnant, and you can be liberated by taking advantage of this light."

After reciting the incantation, Qi Lu said to Ding Xiaolan: "Press the position of the talisman to Nandou, starting from the big vertebral point on my back and sticking it to the waist Yu acupoint."

This is not difficult, although Ding Xiaolan did not study medicine, but also identified the acupuncture points around the human body with Chen Jixian, she was quick with her hands and feet, and pasted the six talismans on the designated position on her back according to Qi Lu's requirements

Qi Lu asked her if she remembered the mantra she had just recited, and after receiving her affirmative answer, he said, "I am going to enter the realm of contemplation now, so I can't recite the mantra, you can help me recite the mantra."

"What, I, will it have an effect if I read it" Ding Xiaolan hesitated, after all, she was a person who didn't understand spells, and she was afraid that if she messed up, she would hurt him

"Try your best, blame me for not teaching you," Qi Lu said softly: "When reciting the mantra, imagine yourself and all things as one, and let your breath fluctuate with the qi of yin and yang, so that you can give full play to your potential, break down the barriers that have been placed in your heart, return to nature, and reach your own extreme."

Seeing Qi Lu's encouraging eyes, Ding Xiaolan decided not to hesitate any longer, she closed her eyes and began to chant the incantation

Unconsciously, Ding Xiaolan seemed to be drawn by the incantation she had recited herself, and she found that she could feel that there were countless air currents surging around her without her eyes, like a stream, like a spring breeze, and even spiritual butterflies circling back and forth in front of her

The wonderful feeling continued very slowly, but it seemed to be a moment when the once incomparably familiar heartbeat quietly receded, behind the scenes, the acupuncture points around the body shone like starlight, and they emitted unimaginably complex signals, warmly fed back to Ding Xiaolan's brain

Just when Ding Xiaolan was immersed in this wonderful realm, she suddenly heard a "wow" sound interrupting her chanting, and she hurriedly opened her eyes to find that a mouthful of blood spurted out of Qi Lulu

Something seemed to be wriggling in the blood stains that had fallen to the ground, and slowly grew larger and larger

Ding Xiaolan took a few steps back in surprise, and suddenly saw a toad the size of a mouse popping out of the blood stains

Qi Lu quickly stood up and caught it, the toad was pinched in his hand, and his hands and feet struggled wildly, spitting out foul-smelling white foam in his mouth, and making ugly noises from time to time

"Thank you, you finally realized the realm of thought," Qi Lu only breathed a sigh of relief at this time

"Look, its forelimbs are exactly the same as human hands," Ding Xiaolan looked at the toad curiously

Indeed, the toad's two forelimbs were delicate, and the pink toes were not webbed, which resembled the small hands of a newborn baby

Ding Xiaolan asked strangely: "How did this toad get into your stomach?"

"No, it's not a toad, it's a money Gu raised by Pei Liping," Qi Lu pointed to the toad's body and said to her: "You see that the color of its body is shining like gold, this is a Gu thing that is not easy to get your hands on."

"Then you don't want to kill it soon"

"This can't make this Gu die, and Pei Liping's life will be gone."

Ding Xiaolan was dumbfounded, regretting her careless words just now

Qi Lu pinched the toad in his hand, went to the kitchen to find a jar of kimchi, put the toad in it, and then covered it, and after finishing it, he specially pasted a handwritten rune at the mouth of the altar

Back in the living room, Qi Lu dried his back with a towel, then put on his clothes and said to Ding Xiaolan with a smile: "Brother Beauty's figure, okay, does it make your heart flutter?"

"Wow" Qi Lu was splashed with a bowl of water on his face, which was the result of Ding Xiaolan sprinkling all the remaining runic water in the blue and white bowl on the table on his face

"Hey, I'm just joking, you won't be so excited," Seeing that Ding Xiaolan was still pouting, Qi Lu had no choice but to make amends to her, and said to her afterwards: "It's almost two o'clock, let's go make some hearty lunch, after eating, the two of us will go to bed, get up on time at one o'clock in the morning, and go to the mourning hall to find Pei Liping."

"Why" Ding Xiaolan was puzzled

"Give him back the Gu, otherwise I guarantee that he won't see the rising sun tomorrow," Qi Lu laughed
