"You, what's wrong?!" I asked with some vigilance, worried that the old woman in front of me would also become that terrifying appearance, and suddenly burst out and hurt people.

"It's okay, it's just a cold and a cold, ...... a small problem" She smiled at me and continued: "Your friend is indeed infected with the Gu King, and over time, the Gu King has gradually grown into shape, and now he is not as good as he was then. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing me ask, the old woman thought about it, then glanced at the Jiang Ling in the backpack beside me and said, "I guess you are definitely not the one who uses Gu to control Gu, and you definitely don't know what this Gu King is, but you can rest assured, the so-called Gu King is the king of Gu, not something that simply harms people." ”

"According to what you say, this Gu King is still good for us?"

"People are divided into good and evil, good and evil, why is there no Gu, everything in this world is a double-edged sword. You are a man of the sword, and you will not be ignorant, but the time has not yet come, and if the time comes, you will know......"

With that, the old woman turned back and picked up the empty bowl on the table, and was about to turn away, "I'll go and see how your friend is...... and leave the room without looking back. As she was leaving, I faintly heard a few rapid coughs outside the house, and it seemed that the old woman was very ill......

"People have good and evil, and Gu is divided into black and white, but I never thought that this Gu King also has black and white......" Thinking, I lay on my back on the stone bed, my eyes staring at the old wooden beam above my head, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and then fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up, it was already evening, and because I had drunk the medicine in the morning, my body didn't feel any pain at this time, and after a long sleep, my spirit was much better.

"Strange, how come you don't dream of those damn bugs at night? Does it have something to do with Yaolong? I muttered to myself and got up and got out of bed, ready to go and see how Yaolong was doing at this time.

But at that moment the old woman came in from outside the house, and when she saw that I was able to go down to the ground, she came up to me and said, "How is it, do you feel anything strange about your body?" ”

I twisted my arms and felt the admiration: "Much better, old woman, your medicine is really powerful, what is the magic formula that can make people get better so quickly......

"Do you really want to hear it?" The old woman smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you, what I gave you to drink is not a cure for diseases and save people, but a poison made from three insects and seven herbs, which is so poisonous that it can turn people's internal organs into pus and blood in one day......"

Hearing this, I hurriedly took a few steps back, clutched my stomach and said, "What, what?!" ”

"Don't worry......" Seeing that I was nervous, the old woman hurriedly waved her hand at me, signaling that I was at ease, and she said: "This method is not to harm you, but to fight poison with poison." Because of the demon woman's Gu in you, without this kind of dangerous method, I'm afraid that even Hua Tuo can't be cured when he is alive. ”

After hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt that not only was there no abnormality in my body, but I was refreshed. "Thank you so much...... I said, "I wonder how my friend is doing?" ”

Seeing me ask about Yaolong, the old woman's kind expression changed slightly, she frowned, and said after a moment's silence: "I have done my best to save him, but he is still not awake. Life or death, blessing or curse, everything depends on his own creation......" After speaking, the old woman sighed.

"Where is he now?! Take me to see him! I said anxiously. After all, Yaolong saved my life twice in a row during this trip, and I must not just watch him die.

"Come with me......," said the old woman, turning and leading me to another hut beside her, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed open the wooden door of the room, and pointed to the man lying on the bed, "There it is, go see for yourself." ”

When I heard this, I didn't say a word, and hurried into the house. When I got to the bed, I was so shocked by what I saw that I took a few steps back. I saw Yaolong lying flat on the same stone bed as I was before, but he was completely dark, and there was a trace of black glitter in the setting sun shining outside the house, as if a layer of black armor was draped around his body. In addition, the "armor" has strips of texture, like the carapace of an insect.

"Well, what's going on......" I asked the old woman who was still standing in the doorway.

Seeing that I was so surprised, she slowly walked up to me, glanced at Yaolong, and said softly, "This is the rumored Gu King ......"

"You mean this layer of pitch black on him?" I asked, puzzled.

"That's right, the Gu King is not what you think, it's just something harmful. In the eyes of the uninformed, the Gu King is a symbol of an evil king, and these two words mean calamity and death. But in fact, the reason why the Gu King is considered a symbol of calamity is because it takes a long time to fully merge with the host before it can exert its due power. Until then, the Gu King will use its own methods to protect itself and its host. ”

Hearing the old woman's explanation, I understood why we had hallucinations when we mentioned the Gu King before, it turned out that this was just a self-protection mechanism of the Gu King. However, before we met, Yaolong was now like this, lying motionless on the bed, and I really couldn't let go of the worries in my heart.

"Then how did Yaolong become like this, when will it recover, and how can it be considered a real recovery?" I poured out all the doubts in my heart in one go.

"It turns out that his name is Yaolong, good name ......" The old woman said to herself: "He became like this completely because he was poisoned by the old woman's Gu poison before, and because the poison was too deep, it caused the Gu King in his body to activate the ability of self-protection before he was fully formed, so he became like this." ”

As she spoke, the old woman looked up in meditation and kept pinching her fingers, as if she was counting something. After a while, she said: "Counting the days, it should be only in these few days, if he can survive it, then the Gu King on his body can become the final appearance, if his will is not strong enough, then he will be counterattacked by the Gu King in these few days, and finally become the sacrifice of the Gu King." ”

After hearing this, I gritted my teeth, hating the Gu woman I had killed before, and I longed to dig up her bones and chop them up again and feed them to the dogs.

But after thinking about it, now is not the time to think about how to get rid of the hatred, and then I asked, "Then what can we do to help him?!" ”

The old woman looked at Yaolong in front of her with a somewhat solemn expression, shook her head slightly and said, "The only thing we can do now is to pray for him......
