, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Talisman Bodyguard!
After listening to Li Zichun's persuasion, Hao Mei hummed lowly.
"Okay, you sort out your thoughts, and then tell us what happened to Black Elk Peak that night." Li Zichun said with a smile.
"Actually, I met Granny Jin as early as a month ago." The first sentence Hao Mei opened his mouth was amazingly informative.
Li Zichun and Ruan Zhang's spirits are all lifted, and it seems that they have found the right person.
Next, Hao Mei told her about the first time she met Granny Jin at the door of the company.
"I didn't expect that at that time, Granny Jin laid a Gu worm on my body, slowly eating away at my body, and I didn't find out until a week ago, but it was too late." Hao Mei remembered the past and said with some fear.
"What's too late? What did that Gu worm do to your body? Li Zichun grasped the key information and continued to ask questions.
"A week ago, I found that my body was suddenly very uncomfortable, and my face became old, my hair was gray, and I could hardly go out to see people, so I took several days off, and I didn't dare to go anywhere at home, and even thought of suicide, and I died a hundred times." Hao Mei bit his lip and said.
"But you're fine." Ruan Chang looked at her repeatedly, holding his chin and said.
"Because something happened later, a noble person appeared and helped me get rid of the Gu worms on my body." Hao Mei explained.
"But what's the matter with your face? Isn't it already old? Li Zichun asked suspiciously.
"After he helped me get rid of the Gu worm, he roasted the worm and let me eat it, saying that it would rejuvenate me. I listened to him and did so, and when I woke up, I found that sure enough, my body had improved a lot, and it had returned to its original appearance at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Hao Mei said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Li Zichun and Ruan Zhang glanced at each other, and they both showed surprise.
"It can't be." Ruan Zhang shook his head directly.
Hao Mei was stunned, "What can't be?" ”
"Since we knew early on that Granny Jin was a Gu cultivator, we made up a lot of information about Gu worms on the way here." Li Zichun walked on his back and walked around Hao Mei.
"The Gu that Granny Jin put on you is called a health Gu."
"This kind of Gu is very common, don't listen to this name It's very docile, you should have already felt the actual effect."
"Because the health Gu is not for you to maintain your health, but to absorb the essence of your body, and then help a Gu person like Granny Jin to maintain his health and achieve the effect of prolonging life."
"There is a characteristic of the health Gu body, that is, all the essence in your body is absorbed, and then stored in the body of the Gu worm, and when the time is ripe, the person who is under the Gu will take the Gu worm from your body."
"If the Gu worm is there, the body of the foster Gu worm will continue to live, and once the Gu worm leaves the body, it is the time when the foster person dies tragically."
"The times are advancing, and all kinds of intelligence have long since cracked the secret of the health Gu."
"Gu keepers are also preventing their Gu worms from being discovered, so that the nutrients that the Gu worms have finally absorbed are stuffed back into the foster person's body."
"Therefore, today's Gu cultivators will add a process, that is, even if the health Gu is taken out, even if it is eaten by the foster person, it will not be able to provide any valuable nutrients, at most, the foster person's body can only return to light for a few days, and then wait for death."
"So, Miss Hao Mei, what you just said about eating the health Gu and returning your body to its original state is not true." Li Zichun made a summary.
"But what I said is true, I, I did eat Gu worms, and then I returned to my current state the next day." Hao Mei said a little dazed.
"If you're not lying, there's only one possibility." Li Zichun said with a complicated expression, and Ruan Zhang on the side also thought of a certain possibility, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, revealing a little admiration.
"What?" Hao Mei hurriedly asked, and Jiang Xueqing also pricked up her ears, for fear of missing a little information.
"If I'm not mistaken, the person who saved you should have delivered his life essence to you, so you will return to your original state overnight." Li Zichun said softly.
Hearing this, not only Hao Mei was stunned, but even Jiang Xueqing, who was not far away, also showed a little moved.
"This, how is this possible?" Hao Mei shook his head desperately, refusing to believe it.
Seeing her reaction, Li Zichun said helplessly: "The person who saved you should also know you very well, and knows that if the truth is told to you, you will definitely not agree, so he made up a white lie to prevent you from having a psychological burden." ”
"This kind of person is really amazing." Li Zichun sighed.
"It's a gentleman, if he's by my side, I'll have a good drink with him." Ruan Chang nodded approvingly.
"Then he used the life essence to help me return to normal, he, is there any damage to him?" Hao Mei asked in a trembling voice.
"The essence of life is relative, how much you lack, you have to replenish."
Li Zi said with pure color: "You have grown from 22 years old to 72 years old, if you want to restore you to your original appearance and deliver the essence of life, you will have to pay the price of 50 years of life." ”
Hao Mei couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down her eyes.
"If this person has a strong vitality, then it is a different matter, but it will cost his own life, there is no doubt about this, it is only a matter of more and less." Li Zichun added.
Hao Mei covered his eyes, turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xueqing, his eyes were full of guilt and remorse.
This move, in the eyes of Li Zichun and Ruan Zhang, is nothing, because they are not the parties involved, thinking that this is just a casual action by Hao Mei.
However, in Jiang Xueqing's heart, it has set off turbulent waves, since she left Yanjing, she has been living a quiet life for the past six years, and this is the first time that her inner emotions have fluctuated.
Hao Mei's eyes were given to her directly, maybe the other party was unintentional, or maybe he really wanted to convey a certain meaning, all in all, Jiang Xueqing read the guilt in Hao Mei's eyes.
Ever since Li Zichun said that Hao Mei was in distress, Jiang Xueqing has been speculating in her heart, could it be Shen Lei who rescued her? Because the time coincides completely, and from the relationship between the two, it is reasonable for Shen Lei to help her.
It's just that Jiang Xueqing never dreamed that Shen Lei would put his 50-year life span on the line in order to save people.
50 years!
That's 50 years!
Especially Hao Mei's eyes, Jiang Xueqing was completely sure that the person who rescued people, the noble person in Hao Mei's mouth, was Shen Lei!
Shen Lei's indecent smile appeared in his mind, all kinds of experiences when he was a child, and the days he spent nearly a month together, Jiang Xueqing only felt that his heart had sunk to the bottom and was shattered.
Jiang Xueqing bit her lip to prevent herself from crying, let alone exposing her inner emotions for half a minute.
