Chapter 598: A Thousand Stars in the Night

"If there is difficulty, there is no need to say it." Lin Xuan was a little unbearable.
Liu Bai and her father both have a high social status, and some private things can't even be photographed by the most clever paparazzi, once they are actively exposed, they will become their lifeline. By extension, anyone in the world has weaknesses that they don't want others to know, that they are difficult to talk about, and that they are ashamed to express them.
"At this point, what is there to hide? Look at my arms. Liu Bai rolled both sleeves to his elbows and showed them to Lin Xuan.
Her wrist was down to her elbow, and there were dense ink spots on her skin, which was less than a foot long, all the size of pinpoints, as if someone had pierced her with an ink needle. Her skin is extremely white, like a dense Suzhou snow embroidery, and the tip of the needle is extremely black, like the purest Hui ink in the world grinded into extremely thick ink. The comparison between the two, the white one is whiter, the black one is blacker, and at a glance, it is shocking.
Lin Xuan is a person who is proficient in medicine, and he only looked at his arm, and he already knew what kind of disease Liu Bai had.
"It's Gu." Lin Xuan nodded.
Gu is a kind of poisonous insect cultivated by labor, which originated in the southern Zhao Kingdom of the Sui Dynasty (now southern Yunnan and northern Vietnam), and the people of Yunnan, Guizhou and Miao Jiang raised Gu into a trend, and were extremely good at witchcraft and Gu making. According to another legend, Gu release is a mysterious witchcraft inherited from ancient China, and since the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, the Meishan Gu Sect in central and western Hunan has spread more powerfully, almost to the point of talking about Gu discoloration.
As soon as Liu Bai rolled up his sleeves, the faces of the four men showed grief and indignation.
Gu is equivalent to the most vicious secret weapon, the person in the Gu doesn't know who killed him until he dies, and he can only be a foolish ghost.
"That's right, it's Gu, and it's a kind of Gu that is almost impossible to solve, unless it's the person who is under the Gu who automatically stands up to solve the Gu for me. It's just that as soon as the other party made a move, he used the 'Miao Jiang Absolute Gu', leaving no room for mitigation, so it was impossible for him to solve the Gu for me. What's more, this method of removing Gu is miserable, and the person who is under the Gu must swallow that Gu worm by himself and transfer the Gu poison to himself in order to solve my pain. Liu Bai put down his sleeves and said miserably.
Lin Xuan knew that although that kind of Gu came from Miao Jiang, to be precise, it was inherited from the Mo family during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the era of "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", the Mohists and hundreds of other sects, large and small, were persecuted by those in power, and were forced to disband their disciples and hide into the people. This tragic encounter also changed the temperament of the children of the Mo family, becoming narrow-minded, retribution, and even for inconsequential matters, they had to put each other to death.
"As soon as the matter involves the story of Miao Jiang, it is really difficult to solve." Lin Xuan could only tell the truth at the moment, and he was sure that today, Liu Bai also knew that this kind of Gu was unsolvable.
Any person who is in Gu, at the beginning of the onset of the disease, will definitely seek treatment from traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, magicians, and onmyoji, and will only wake up at the best and realize that "Gu" cannot be cured, and can only be expelled by more intelligent people. It's a pity that the way Gu spreads is hidden and weird, and there is no written or verbal communication between Gu alchemists of different sects, so no one knows what kind of Gu refining method is used by friends, enemies, and peers, let alone solving Gu and driving away Gu.
To put it simply, Gu's status in the Chinese world is equivalent to that of witch doctors in ancient times, which is both primitive and absurd, and vicious and deadly. The only solution is to stay away from those Gu refiners, and only then can they be safe.
"So, I can only put my last hope on you." Liu Bai said.
"Me?" Lin Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "I want to help you, but this matter is indeed too difficult." β
The man in the shadows whispered, "Mr. Lin, with your talent, you can at least rank in the top ten in today's wizard world. You can't do it, and others can't even think about it, and that's exactly what the 'Emperor' chosen-"
He realized the gaffe and stopped suddenly.
Lin Xuan pretended not to hear it, and just looked at Liu Bai: How could the Momen Gu Technique find you? β
Momen Gu is not a scoundrel, and for the sake of the reputation of this sect, he will not indiscriminately play Gu on innocent people. Lin Xuan wanted to know the reason, and maybe he could know how to help Liu Bai from it.
"Well, I'm not afraid you'll laugh, the origin of this incident is extremely similar to the famous tycoon on Hong Kong Island's Zhong Gu case. Mr. Lin, you are on Hong Kong Island, you must know something about that case, right? Liu Bai asked.
Lin Xuan nodded: "That's right, the one in the tycoon is 'Bone Blood Fall', which is one of the most powerful head-lowering techniques in the world, and the reason why he was plotted is related to the love affair when he was young." β
Liu Bai smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to accuse the previous generation of right or wrong, I can only say that my father had the same experience as the tycoon, but the revenge of the other party fell on my head." β
The case of "Bone and Blood Falling" once caused a sensation on Hong Kong Island, and more than a dozen of the most brilliant Gu masters, doctors, and pharmacology experts from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, the mainland, and Southeast Asia were involved, running day and night for the tycoon. The tycoon is rich enough to rival the country, and his connections are aurora, and even the head of a big country can pour out the famous doctors in the country for him. "Bone and Blood Fall" is famous for "making Gu with biological flesh and bones", which has seriously violated the morality and ethics of the human world, so the person who gave Gu to the tycoon can only be a woman who had a skin relationship with him in the past, and only this kind of person has the conditions to create "Bone and Blood Fall".
Old Master Kong sighed that only women and villains are the most difficult to raise, and this is indeed not wrong.
Lin Xuan was young, and when the "Bone and Blood Falling" event occurred, he had not yet reached the point of being outstanding, and at that time, he was listed as a key cultivation object by the organization, so he did not participate in that incident (see the clumsy work "Great Gu Refiner" for details of this case).
The full name of this Gu in Liu Bai is "Thousand Stars in the Dark Night", and the ink dots will develop from the size of a needle tip to the size of a copper coin, and at that time, the skin, flesh and bones will turn black together, rotting inch by inch. In common diseases, when this kind of necrosis occurs in the human body, the blood circulation contaminated by the virus enters the heart, and the person loses his life in a short time. However, under the control of the power of the Gu technique, the poisonous blood is effectively isolated, and it will not enter the heart, causing people to die quickly, but let the person in the Gu decay all over his body before dying day by day, and he will definitely not die happily.
Therefore, the person who can study and use this Gu technique also has a black heart and is full of resentful curses.
"If I can enter the world of 'Homo sapiens', I will definitely help you find a solution." Lin Xuan nodded in agreement.
The man behind Liu Bai whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, no matter what the result is, our thank you gift will arrive in your hands on time." β
Lin Xuan waved his hand: "Everything is easy to say, but let's put away the knife first." As the old Chinese saying goes, the spear is a ghost. It's definitely not a good thing to always use a knife at yourself. β
The four men sighed together and put away their knives, and the whistle on the other side of the ice wall sounded again, and the more it blew, the more poignant it became.
The man reminded: "Outsiders are coming, beware." β
Liu Bai seized the last bit of time to tell Lin Xuan: "Twenty-eight nights of magic together, it should be very easy to make your soul out of your body, enter the ice wall in a weightless, massless, and unconscious state, and enter the room with no thickness. In about ten hours, we'll unleash the magic again and bring you back. In between, it's up to you to play freely what you can encounter and what to do. Please keep in mind that although the Twenty-Eight Residences are from the same school, everyone's hearts are not aligned, and I know that there are absolute cronies of the 'Great Emperor' among them, and even one of them is the 'Great Emperor'. β
Lin Xuan was silent on the surface, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. Since it is possible that the "Great Emperor" is within the "Twenty-Eight Nights", then as an enemy of the "Great Emperor", it is very likely that he will lose his life at any time after being used by the other party. It is even said that this trip to the ice wall will have no return.
"Who do you suspect is the 'Emperor'?" Lin Xuan asked.
"I don't know, but the Emperor's people have been following you for ten years, and have studied you systematically and in detail before you entered Tibet. I only know a small part of the marginal content, and the "Emperor" adopts the method of "casting a long line to catch a big fish and sharpening a sword in ten years". In a word, you are very important to the Emperor, and there are some things that only you can do. Liu Bai said.
The man in the shadows issued a warning: "Someone is coming, it's Master Jiang's people." β
Sure enough, a figure flickered on the other side of the ice wall, and a person was running towards it.
Ten years is not a short time, and the past ten years are the golden years for Lin Xuan to learn, grow and serve the organization. Thinking that there was another mysterious big man in the rivers and lakes who had been following him for ten years, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.
"Knowing that the situation is unfavorable, why didn't you resist early?" Lin Xuan asked rhetorically.
With the human, material, and financial resources of the Liu family, it is basically impossible to be slaughtered by others, especially Liu Bai's father, who has been involved in business, politics, rivers and lakes, and Baidao for many years, although he does not have the ambition to dominate the world, but he will not be easily controlled by others. If Liu Bai does not enter the ranks of magicians, his life will be beautiful and complete, and he will become a royal princess for hundreds of generations. Therefore, Lin Xuan deduced from this that the main figures of the Liu family may have been controlled by Gu magic and were powerless to resist at all. Moreover, it is likely that the one who controls them is the legendary "Emperor".
Liu Bai smiled bitterly: "If you resist, you can only die more tragically." The Liu family has been passed down for thirty generations, and it can't be wiped out by our generation. Otherwise, under the Nine Springs, how can you go to see the ancestors of the Liu family? For a long time, I have been living in order to be able to wait for the bright future. Mr. Lin, you will help me, I will--well, forget it, let's wait until the matter here is over. Unknown life, unknown death? I don't know if I can survive today's catastrophe, so how can I repay you? β
In the shadows, four men gritted their teeth and endured the pain, and the four pairs of teeth "Gege" sounded.
Liu Bai suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Lin, and, most importantly, the 'Great Emperor' may not be a person-"
Before he finished speaking, the people from the other side of the ice wall had already arrived quickly and bowed to Lin Xuan: "Mr. Lin, please go to the other side of the ice wall, Master Jiang is invited." β
In the process of talking with Huo Dongguo and Liu Bai, Lin Xuan couldn't digest so much information for the time being, and he didn't even have time to sort out what the two had said.
So, with the position he is in, what exactly should be done? Or is he on which side? Do you want to help Liu Bai do something?
The shadow of death could be enveloped at any time, which made Lin Xuan feel as if he was trapped in a five-mile fog, unable to see the direction of survival.
"Mr. Lin, please?" With a courteous smile on his face, the person who came pointed to the side of the ice wall, "Don't let Master Jiang wait, okay?" β
Lin Xuan nodded: "Okay, let's go." β
Before meeting Master Jiang, Lin Xuan had been thinking hard about the last sentence Liu Bai said - "The 'Great Emperor' may not be a person."
"Not a person" has many different meanings, including "not a person, a group of people" and so on. However, no matter which way it was meant, it made Lin Xuan feel seriously uneasy.
After meeting Master Jiang, Lin Xuan discovered that Master Jiang was indeed very talented. Under his leadership, a total of 28 squares have been drawn with charcoal on the ice wall, with a total of 28 squares in the same arrangement on the ground. Each square is one meter long on its sides. Between the ice wall and the ground, a circle with a diameter of one meter was drawn, which should have been prepared for Lin Xuan.
"Mr. Lin, are you ready?" Master Jiang's face was full of smiles, but the smile was clearly quite reluctant.
"Prepare what?" Lin Xuan asked.
Master Jiang lowered his voice: "Didn't Liu Bai tell you?" β
Lin Xuan shook his head: "Tell me what?" β
Master Jiang approached, and his voice was lowered: "The secret behind the ice wall - she didn't tell you?" I don't believe it. β
