Chapter 57: The Events of the Year
Faced with Old Man Li's question, Lu Chen seemed very calm: "Old man, I'm not sure if I'm Nuo Nuo's beloved, but I can guarantee that I won't hurt her and will do my best to protect her." ”
Old Man Li suddenly smiled: "I like this answer very much, okay, you can talk about my condition next." ”
Lu Chen nodded, but his face was unconcealable: "This Heart Devouring Gu, I really can't solve it for the time being, unless the old man, you can tell me who the person who is under the Gu is." ”
"The one who went down to Gu?"
Hearing this, Old Man Li's eyes moved slightly, and his sunken eyeballs seemed to have a glimmer of light: "How can you think that I know who the Gu people are?" ”
"Intuition."
Lu Chen said calmly, before he saw that Old Man Li knew that it was not a surprise that the Heart Devouring Gu was there, he knew that the old man might have known that he had been poisoned by the Gu poison.
"You're smart." Old Man Li sighed: "That was a long time ago, when I was still a village cadre in Wuling. ”
"Wuling? Southwest Wuling? ”
Lu Chen nodded slightly, Wuling is in the southwest and west of the Southwest Pole, and the distance between Wuling and Wangshan where Muguwang Mountain is located is less than a hundred miles.
"I met a girl there, her name is Ji Ke, a beautiful southern girl."
"Gico?"
Lu Chen silently read the name and found that he was not impressed.
Old Man Li seemed to fall into a memory: "The years when I met Ji Ke were the happiest times for me, and I once promised to marry her ......"
Lu Chen had gradually understood, it was very likely that this woman named Ji Ke had given Old Man Li a heart-devouring Gu.
Heart Devouring Gu, in Mugu King Mountain, there are also many witches who will use it as a love Gu, because the Heart Devouring Gu can control the other party's heart, and the powerful female wizard can even directly spy on the other party's mind through the Heart Devouring Gu.
If the other party doesn't love herself, the witch can know about it and even kill the other party.
"I broke my promise to her, and in order to fight for a chance to rise, I left Wuling and never came back."
When Old Man Li said this, his face could not hide his sadness, and tears began to overflow in his cloudy eyes: "Thirty years ago, Ji Ke came to Jiangbei once, and she asked me if I was willing to leave the Li family for her and give up everything in front of me. ”
"Old man, did you refuse?"
"Yes, I refused, I can't joke with the Li family." Old Man Li smiled bitterly: "Then she let me drink a bowl of medicine, I thought it was poison at the time, but after drinking it, there was no result, until the past few years ......"
"That should be her heart devouring Gu for you."
Lu Chen's face sank, and then he said, "But why? Thirty years ago, she gave you the Heart Eater Gu, proving that she already has the ability to kill you easily, but why, why did she only urge the Heart Eater Gu in your body until now? ”
Old Man Li shook his head, he really didn't know this.
"I have two plans for you to choose now, old man, the first is to wait for me for a year, within a year, I will definitely be able to eliminate this Gu poison, and the second is to let me find this Ji Ke, as long as the owner of the Gu worm is controlled, the Gu worm will not cause any harm to you."
"You're saying you're going to hurt Gico?"
Old Man Li's face changed slightly.
But Lu Chen's face never changed: "If she doesn't cooperate, I don't mind killing her." ”
Lu Chen can now basically determine that Ji Ke is very likely to be the descendant of Mugu King Mountain, when Mugu King Mountain was in the southwest, I don't know how many innocent people were killed.
Although he didn't know why Ji Ke didn't attack the old man, after all, he was Li Nuonuo's grandfather, and since he promised Li Nuonuo to cure the old man, he couldn't watch the old man being controlled by Gu poison.
"No, you can't hurt Gico anyway. I'll choose the first way. ”
Old Man Li shouted loudly, almost getting up from the bed excitedly, and Lu Chen also sank slightly when he saw this scene: "Okay." ”
Since even Old Man Li himself rejected this plan, then he has nothing to say.
"I want you and Nuno to keep this matter a secret."
In the end, Old Man Li reminded Lu Chen again, from Lu Chen's words, he could also detect that the innocent girl in Wuling Xiaoshan Village back then might not be mortal now, so he didn't want his children to worry about his affairs.
Lu Chen agreed, and then remembered Li Nuonuo's matter, and told the old man again.
When Old Man Li heard this, his face also showed annoyance, and he slapped the edge of the bed suddenly: "These rebels! It's just too much! How can you joke about Nono's happiness! Lu Chen, don't worry, I'll handle this matter! ”
Knowing that Lu Chen had actually obtained a marriage certificate with his granddaughter, a trace of relief flashed on Old Man Li's face: "You actually hid it from me just now, since you and Nuo Nuo are already husband and wife, then in the future, you will be the uncle of my Li family." ”
Lu Chen: ???
Didn't I say I was here to help?
