My face changed drastically, and I shouted "Beware", and immediately pushed Zhang Qiang aside.

The Gu worm lost its purpose, twisted its long body and turned to me, I hurriedly lit the candle and quickly brought the flame over, the wriggling maggots were afraid of the fire, and they burrowed into the abdomen of the corpse one after another, wriggling anxiously and restlessly, crawling around on the corpse's internal organs.

Zhang Qiang got up and rubbed his buttocks, his face was frightened, and he asked me what the situation was?

My face was unusually ugly, "This is called a life-devouring Gu, a very infectious Gu worm, the person in the Gu will first feel itchy and uncomfortable in the internal organs, scratching his heart and lungs, but no matter how he scratches, he can't stop the itching, which is caused by the eggs attaching to the internal organs." The eggs are hatched by the temperature of the internal organs, and after they are formed, they will gnaw on the internal organs of the host, feed on the internal organs of living people, and reproduce in large quantities. ”

Zhang Qiang turned the flashlight and looked, and sure enough, under the dry skin of the corpse, every organ of the corpse was empty, and countless dense small holes appeared on the internal organs, especially the heart part, which was simply mothed into the shape of honeycomb coal.

Zhang Qiang's arm shook, the flashlight fell to the ground, he squatted down to pick up the flashlight, and at the same time said tremblingly, "This...... Who gave him Gu? ”

"Surely the enemy." I asserted, "The cost of making a life-devouring Gu is very high, each insect egg needs to be carefully selected, these insect eggs are taken from the young eggs of Drosophila, catalyzed by the Gu curse, absorbing the resentment of human bones, and after being buried in the wasteland for 7749 days, it is watered with enough crow blood every day, so that the young eggs can absorb enough yin qi in order to cultivate the first generation of eggs, and then find a living person as a host, let the first generation of eggs hatch, take them out and refine them in Waong, and get the second generation of eggs after the same cycle, which is what you see now." ”

Zhang Qiang exclaimed, "So troublesome? ”

I sighed intently, the success rate of refining the Life Devouring Gu is extremely low, and it needs to be guided by a living person, so it is included in the forbidden technique, and the "Spirit Gu Capsule Sutra" passed on to me by my grandfather is specially recorded, but there is no indication of the urging Gu spell, it should be afraid that I will learn to harm people, and I didn't expect to encounter this kind of evil Gu just after entering Miao Jiang.

Zhang Qiang asked with a miserable face, "Then if you fall into the Life Devouring Gu, is there a way to solve it?" ”

I said yes, but it is particularly troublesome to solve the Gu, and it must be treated on the spot, it cannot be delayed for a quarter of an hour, the Gu worm feeds on the internal organs of the living, and once it hatches, it will first hurt the internal organs, so the survival rate of the person in the Gu is extremely low, even if the Gu is solved, it will be irreversibly damaged, it can be said that it is extremely domineering, and it is the secret of Miao Jiang!

Zhang Qiang furrowed his brows, "So the one who gave him Gu can only be the Miao Jiang Gu Master, can you tell which one it is from the Miao Clan?" ”

I smiled bitterly and said no, the thirty-six peaks of Miao Jiang are just a concept, not really thirty-six branches, the existing Gu law inheritance is very chaotic, many of them are fused together, and it is impossible to judge the origin of the other party from the mage who has fallen under the Gu.

Zhang Qiang looked around nervously and said Let's hurry up and get in the car, maybe the person who released the Gu is nearby, I don't want to have worms all over my body......

I said, "You can't leave yet, you have to burn the worm Gu first, lest people who pass by here will be harmed by the pond fish, you hurry up and get some gasoline!" ”

Zhang Qiang could only do so, we sprinkled gasoline on the corpse, burned it with a fire, looked at the corpse that was curled up in the firelight, Zhang Qiang lit a cigarette and stuck it on the ground, sighed and said, "Brother, there is only so much I can do, I hope you will be a good family in the next life, and you will no longer have to be a middleman in the next life." ”

On the way back, I asked, "Does Zhou Xiong have a lot of enemies?" It is not easy to refine the Life Devouring Gu, ordinary Gu masters do not have such means, even if someone refines it, they are reluctant to use it on ordinary people. ”

Zhang Qiang sighed and said, "This kind of thing is not accurate, sometimes the middleman has to do something against his will in order to meet the needs of customers, and there must be a lot of people who have offended in the long run, who knows who he provoked?" ”

We didn't dare to stay here for a long time, Zhang Qiang turned on the high beams after getting in the car, and insisted on driving the car out for a while, and the next afternoon, Zhang Qiang led me to a small town, he parked the car on the side of the road in the town, locked the door and took me to dinner.

I asked, "The black market is here?" ”

Zhang Qiang said, "Not yet, I still have to walk for a while in the afternoon, the deserted road here is too biased, and I can't drive on the road to the black market, so hurry up and fill my stomach, and accompany me into the mountains in the afternoon." ”

We walked into a small restaurant with local characteristics, Zhang Qiang ordered a table full of dishes, the boss asked him if he wanted to have a treat, why did two people order such a table of dishes? Zhang Qiang pointed at me and said that he would settle the bill after eating.

I was still thinking about the corpse I saw last night, I couldn't move the chopsticks at all, Zhang Qiang persuaded me to eat quickly, if I didn't eat the food, it would be cold, and there was still a long way to go in the afternoon.

I was about to speak when I suddenly heard footsteps approaching from behind, as if they were coming towards me.

I sat up straight, looked back sharply, but I couldn't help but smile when I saw the person clearly, I didn't expect the world to be so small, and sure enough, Zhang Qiang said it, and we met acquaintances before we reached the black market.

I stood up and greeted with a smile, "Master Goncy, don't come unharmed?" ”

Master Gongxi clasped his hands together and said in half-baked Mandarin, "Boss Ye, we meet again, and you are also interested in the black market?" ”

Zhang Qiang hurriedly put down his chopsticks and invited Master Gongxi to sit down, and patted the dust on the table with his sleeve, I was curious why this girl suddenly became so attentive to people, and I reacted after thinking about it.

It is estimated that the scene that happened last night scared him, and it would make him feel more secure to have a mage by his side.

Master Goncy sat down and asked me what I was thinking, I told him about the purchase of yin materials, Master Goncy smiled and nodded, and asked me how I learned the Witch Sutra spell. He also asked me if I was buying yin materials to try to cultivate the Fa.

I smiled wryly and said, "Master misunderstood, I bought Yin material to honor others, but I can't use it myself." ”

Master Gonsi also said, "You have a soft heart, and you are not suitable for learning the Li Wu Sutra Mantra. ”

We asked each other about the current situation, and learned that Master Gonsi had been traveling around the black market in order to resell a batch of feminine goods in his possession, intending to exchange them for travel expenses.

In the afternoon, we made an appointment to go together, Master Gonsi was a frequent visitor to the black market and was very familiar with the road conditions, and soon we arrived at the place.

The black market is located in the upper reaches of the Lancang River, along the banks of the river, where there are a large number of simple shacks, most of which are wooden structures, extending from the river bank and built on the water, with several wooden stakes driven into the river silt, and the large and small shacks of different sizes are close to both sides of the riverbank, forming a unique scene.

Venerable Gonsi told me that these wooden huts were built by local mages to facilitate the sale of yin materials, and that he had friendships with several local mages and could borrow their wooden huts for a while, and invited us to go to the wooden huts to rest.

The black market is only open at night, and after the evening, lanterns are lit in front of most of the wooden sheds, and Gen Gonsi also lights a lantern and hangs it in front of his wooden shed, saying that wherever the lanterns are hung, there is a material for sale, and you can buy whatever you want, provided that you can afford to pay for it, of course.

Fighting with these mages and saying that there is no room for bargaining, it will offend people if it is not good, Zhang Qiang is not worried that I will go out alone to wander around, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to Master Gongxi and accompany me to visit everywhere.

Looking around the sides of the river, there are oil lamps lit everywhere, the atmosphere is quiet, we see a lot of skull lanterns, that is, a candle is lit in the hollow skull, the candle flame shines through the skull's eye sockets and mouth, similar to the jack-o'-lantern played by Americans on Halloween.

Probably because these skulls are all real people, giving it an eerie feel.
