Chapter 43: Breaking the Gu Poison
"The ancestors of the Zhang family are above, the kid Zhang Jun is now in such a desperate situation, although the cultivation of the funeral scripture will make my Zhang family extinct, but if you don't look at this funeral scripture, the kid is probably also a dead end, rather than being in the same stream with a zombie, the kid would rather fight to the death! Please also ask the ancestors to bless the boy in the spirit of heaven! ”
I picked up the funeral scriptures, and I couldn't help but think of the countless deep warnings and instructions of my grandfather and father before they died, and thinking that I still had to go against their last wishes, tears appeared in my eyes, and my nose was a little sore.
Before opening the funeral scriptures, I first climbed in front of the spiritual seat dedicated to the ancestors and ancestors, and kowtowed several times towards the spiritual throne with all my might, and then took the funeral scripture and shrank in the corner, took a deep breath and looked through it. Now that I am suffering from the torture of the Heart Devouring Gu, the clothes on my body are completely soaked with cold sweat, and watching the sweat dripping on the books, I also reached out and wiped the cold sweat on my face.
In fact, there is not much content in the funeral scriptures, and the whole book is less than 30 pages in total, which records all the tips, but it is the tips of these less than 30 pages, for me, the descendants of the burial master, it seems to be an initiation in the eyes.
I kept reciting the key points recorded in the funeral scriptures repeatedly, and I felt that there were continuous flashes of white light in my mind, and the keys in each line were almost all metaphors and abbreviations of some knowledge, and this feeling of instantly stuffing all the knowledge into my mind almost made my brain tremble, and for a moment I even forgot the pain caused by the Heart Devouring Gu.
I remember my grandfather said that this burial scripture is actually not afraid of being handed over to other people, as long as it is not a ground burial master, there will be no problem. Because this burial scripture is a book specially prepared for the descendants of the underground burial master, others will only be confused when they read it, and they will not get any inspiration.
I didn't believe in bloodline inheritance before, but now I look at the funeral scripture in my hand and feel the great changes that have taken place in my mind, as if a new and huge space has been created out of thin air, and this space is full of dense words. And these things don't need to be memorized, and the moment I memorize the trick, it's like a flood filling the huge space.
However, due to the huge amount of knowledge contained in the Burial Sutra, and the torture I was subjected to because of the Heart Devouring Gu, a sticky and deep exhaustion finally made my eyes black and I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, it was already early in the morning, and I woke up in pain, and the torture caused by the Heart Devouring Gu almost exploded my brain.
But now I have a little more faith in my heart. Because when I subconsciously searched for knowledge about the Heart Devouring Gu in my mind, the way to crack this Heart Devouring Gu emerged, and the knowledge field contained in the burial scriptures not only covered the secret art of Feng Shui, the art of the five elements, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Phases, the reincarnation of the Three Realms, and so on. And through this study of the funeral scriptures, I also have a new understanding of the origin of Fuxi gossip.
Thinking that Zhuge Kongming in ancient times knew a little about the Fuxi gossip that was half erased by the gods, he helped Liu Bei to strategize and unify the Three Kingdoms in the world, Liu Bowen would only solve the three-point gossip, but he also assisted Zhu Hongwu in building the great cause of the Ming Dynasty for 400 years.
According to the records in the Funeral Sutra, in order to break the Heart Devouring Gu, you must first kill the Gu worms, although the Heart Devouring Gu is also an extremely vicious kind of Gu art, but after all, everything will not deviate from its origin, as long as the Gu worms planted in the body can be led out and killed, you can crack the Heart Devouring Gu Technique.
I looked around and found that there was nothing in the bedroom on the second floor, so I endured the severe pain, wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and the middle of the person, and crawled downstairs with my fingers on the floor.
I took out cinnabar, dog blood, and black donkey hooves and a plant called Yuan Lingcao, all poured into the porcelain bowl and stirred, and after the grinding was even, I picked up a brush and dipped it, and wrote a "swastika" in the center of my eyebrows in the mirror, and then I took off my shirt, and drew two circles, one large and one small, respectively, the circle of the Tianshu point in the center of the upper abdomen was a clockwise spiral, and the circle of the outer tomb hole was the whole spiral of the spiral.
I tried to calm my arm, which was trembling with severe pain, and in the center of the spiral and circle, in a counterclockwise direction, I wrote A, B, WOOD, G, XIN, JIN, C, D, FIRE, NON, AOI, AND SHUI—CHARACTERS THAT SYMBOLIZED THE WAY OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS AND SERVED AS SHELTER.
And when I was done, I brought a bowl of clean warm water and put it in a porcelain bowl, took out a piece of unused yellow paper and lit it on fire, sprinkled a bowl of dog blood, soaked it in yellow paper ashes, pinched my nose, and swallowed all the fishy stuff into my stomach.
Needless to say, the taste is naturally disgusting, and I almost vomited it several times, but in order to force out the Heart Devouring Gu, I was also ruthless in my heart, and I went straight out. After drinking the bowl of water, I felt that my mind was swelling so much that I looked in the mirror, but my head did not change.
But if I look at my body now, I feel like my head is gradually inflating like a balloon, as if the bowl of water just now was poured into my head instead of drinking it.
My head was getting bigger and bigger, and even my vision was blurred, and suddenly a strong urge to vomit rose, and I heard a cry of "chirp" in my ears, and something seemed to be churning in my head, and finally I couldn't help but vomit loudly.
When I had finished spitting up, I looked closely, and I found that there was red blood on the ground, and a large fat golden worm was constantly struggling and churning, and it was as long as my index finger, and almost as wide as two fingers together. The appearance is very similar to that of a caterpillar, and the body of each section seems to be glued together with plump corn kernels.
"Damn, this thing has been hiding in my body all this time?" As soon as I thought of this, I felt a strong urge to vomit again, and I bent over and vomited again, but this time I didn't vomit the worms, just vomited some red stomach acid.
After vomiting, I felt a deep sense of exhaustion and drowsiness hit me, and I could no longer hear the chirping of insects in my head, nor could I feel any pain. The body returned to normal, and the body sensation gradually returned, and I watched the insect that was still churning more and more angry, and I wanted to step on it directly.
But in the end, I still didn't choose to do this—I remember that the Funeral Sutra said that if the Gu worms of the Heart Devouring Gu were cultivated well, they could be used for their own purposes. The cultivation of Gu worms is difficult, and the method is also very complicated, which only the ancient Miao people in Miao Jiang understand.
I thought to myself that now I am already a burial master, and according to Sister Lan's words, I am the real demon slayer. Once the Burial Sutra is cultivated, it is impossible to cancel it again, and to put it bluntly, I have no turning back. No one knows what will happen in the future, and the multiple means of saving life in your hands are stronger than anything else.
Although I was very reluctant, in the end, I found an empty jar and put the golden Gu worm into the altar according to the record in the funeral scripture. It is difficult to raise Gu worms, but once they are raised and become adults, it is not difficult to raise them after that, as long as you feed them regularly. Adult Gu worms are hardly picky eaters.
Actually, I don't want to encounter a situation where I need to use Heart Devouring Gu in the future, but if I do, I can at least have more means to save my life.
After washing my face, I left the house, and at this time there were few people on the cement avenue paved by Qingyunfeng, only the street lamps were lonely and bright with their heads down. I glanced up at the hook-like moon, which was in a different position than before.
Several hours had passed, and I suddenly remembered that the village chief was only ten corpses away from becoming a hundred-year-old corpse demon, so I immediately slapped my head fiercely, hurriedly went back to the house and got the spirit talisman, and the ink line and the peachwood sword ran towards the Nanshan Ridge. But I stopped halfway through the run—thinking of the worst-case scenario, if the village chief had really turned into a hundred-year-old corpse demon, I wouldn't be able to deal with it myself.
Just kidding, when he hadn't turned into a corpse demon, my peachwood sword was the same as a burning stick in his eyes, and if he became a corpse demon, it would be okay, so I turned around and ran directly towards the Taoist temple of Guan Tianzi, and dialed Guan Tianzi's mobile phone while running. At the beginning, the phone didn't work, but I didn't give up and made several more calls, and Guan Tianzi answered.
As soon as people are in a hurry, they will follow the unfavorable demand, I hurriedly said at first that Guan Tianzi was stunned that he didn't understand my words, and then calmed down and slowly brushed him up, and then Guan Tianzi knew what happened to me, and said that he would leave the Taoist Temple immediately and set off towards Qingyun Town.
At about three o'clock in the morning, at a three-way intersection near Qingyun Town and Honggang Village, I saw Guantianzi running towards this direction, dressed in a dark blue robe, carrying a large package on his body, presumably also full of demon-slaying props. But he didn't come on his own, and he was accompanied by two young men, who were also wearing Taoist robes, and seemed to be as old as me.
However, their physique is much stronger than mine, and at first glance they look like Lianjiazi, and the broad waist and back outline can still be seen under the loose robes. I said hello to them, and then looked at the Son of Heaven.
"Guantianzi, we have to hurry to Honggang Village, if it's any later, when that bad old man really becomes a hundred-year-old corpse demon, it will be too late!"
Guan Tianzi stood in front of me panting, immediately grabbed me and swept it up and down, and said, "Zhang Jun, have you broken the Gu poison?" ”
I nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, I read the funeral scriptures left to me by my grandfather and father. ”
Guan Tianzi was stunned, and then he didn't say anything, just sighed softly, patted me on the shoulder, and set off towards Honggang Village with me.
I told Guan Tianzi that the village chief should still be on Nanshan Ridge, and I wanted to go directly to Nanshan Ridge, but Guan Tianzi said that I would go to Honggang Village to see the villagers first, if the village chief had become a corpse demon, then the first to suffer would definitely be the villagers of Honggang Village.
