Chapter 8: Ten Thousand Feet Shura
One needle went down, and it worked. Drops of dark red blood flowed slowly along the hollow golden needle "extremely unwillingly", and were inserted into a jade vial by the ghost woman. After the vial was filled, the ghost woman put it away by herself, and then took out another vial and handed it to Tu Tian.
"This golden needle will be given to you, and the old body will refine another one. As for this jade net bottle...... I'll give it to the rose. ”
The ghost woman is cunning and cunning, and she treats the two apprentices impartially on the surface, but no one can see that Cai Wei even has a heart that Tu Tian needs, let alone a small magic weapon that Tu Tian needs more than her.
The toad snorted on the side, but didn't say anything, anyway, he wasn't his apprentice, so he loved it.
Tu Tian took a bottle full of his own blood, but he never left, but really handed over the jade net bottle to Cai Wei.
The ghost woman snorted lowly and scolded for being wasteful.
Then, Tu Tian aimed the other end of the golden needle at the insect egg, carefully dropped a drop on the egg, and was about to drop the second drop, but was stopped by the ghost woman in a hurry.
As soon as the eggs came into contact with the blood, they swollen black and swollen to the size of a goose egg, but then the eggs burst open with a puff of green smoke.
"This ...... Immortal blood, so domineering!" The toad's eyes widened.
The ghost woman was full of joy and sorrow, gritted her teeth, took out all the puppet insect eggs that had accumulated for half her life, and put them on the stone table in front of Tu Tian. The puppet insects only lay eggs once a year, ranging from five to six, and there are at least a hundred eggs here, neatly arranged in a brocade box, as beautiful as diamonds. It is conceivable that the ghost woman is going to fight for blood, and she is purely trying her luck with Tu Tian's blood. If one of the eggs hatches safely, it can definitely become a god-level female worm that has not been produced for thousands of years.
Tu Tian's blood did not stop, and he was dedicating drop by drop, and the puppet eggs were burned one after another, and he could see that the ghost woman's heart was also dripping blood together.
Until the last egg, a miracle finally happened. When Tu Tian's blood dripped up, it rose to the size of a winter melon, but it never exploded, but after a few pauses, it gradually shrunk back.
The three of them stared nervously at the only remaining egg, not daring to blink their eyes. It seemed that after a long time, suddenly, the insect egg, which had shrunk to the size of a broad bean, trembled slightly, a small hole was broken in the egg shell, and a ghostly little head poked out of the small hole. A pair of small emerald eyes stared at Tu Tian for the first time. Then, before the body appeared, he shook his little head and began to chew the egg shell......
It was an immensely beautiful little elf, dark red, like a dandelion-like bulb, with countless slender flagella that stretched or curled and danced tirelessly, making it float gracefully in the air. And the little head is hidden in the very center of the hundreds of flagella. A pair of small sapphire eyes stared pitifully at Tu Tian through the flagella, as if waiting for him to dot on and soothe.
The ghost woman burst into tears with excitement, and shouted almost out of shape: "Ten Thousand Feet Shura! It's Ten Thousand Feet Shura! It is it, I can't imagine that the old body can still see such a divine insect in his lifetime, the ancients are honest and I can't deceive me!"
Tu Tian was also inexplicably excited, although he didn't understand anything, he also knew that this must be a great baby. After the ghost woman stabilized her mood a little, he asked, "Master, what is Wanzu Shura and what can I do?"
The ghost woman was in a very good mood, and began to patiently teach Tu Tian a lesson: "In ancient times, the pre-cultivated corpse control technique is different from today, they manipulate the remnants of the corpse, which can be used to attack, can also be used for labor, and can even summon spirits to regenerate them. Nowadays, most of the corpse control techniques have been combined with the Southern Xinjiang Gu Technique, relying on Gu insects to control the corpses of people or beasts, but they also have their own wonders, easy to learn and easy to use is one of them, no longer need to bitter ginseng soul mysteries; ”
"The corpse worm controls the fresh corpse by relying on its legs and feet, the nerve center of the fresh corpse is not actually dead, but it has lost the command of the brain god and falls into a deep sleep, the legs and feet of the corpse can hook the nerves of the fresh corpse, and send a brain god-like sense to it, so that it can be revived from its slumber, in order to pull the entire corpse movement, although there is no intelligence, but it can also make this body do some simple things. In other words, the more legs and feet the golem worm has, the more nerves it can induce, and the more movements the corpse can do, the more flexible it becomes. However, there is only one female, and the only use is to lay eggs, and it should never be used as a puppet worm. Its offspring, eight to nine times out of ten, are weaker than the mother worm, and they have to live directly in the fresh corpse to hatch, and then they are instructed by the mother worm to drive the corpse to act. As the name suggests, there are thousands of legs and feet that can only hook nerves, and its descendants are naturally superior, and they can almost control the corpse as flexible as **, which is called Shura. ”
"Oh, I see!" Tu Tian has a long insight, these things are not what mortals can see in books and brochures, they are like myths and legends, absurd, and reasonable.
Even the toad secretly admired the strange person who created this evil spell, who was able to study the secrets of the flesh to such a subtle level, which was almost comparable to the orthodox immortal arts.
Tu Tian suddenly asked, "Then master, how many feet does your puppet mother worm have?"
The ghost woman was a little proud, conjured up a brocade box, and opened it for Tu Tian and them to see. Inside turned out to be a centipede-like insect, at least it had twenty or thirty legs, although it was far from being comparable to the puppet insect that slaughtered the sky, but it was scary enough.
Tu Tian asked again: "Then won't Sister Cai Wei and I have to be controlled by Master's mother worm?"
"Not really. The ghost woman explained: "The blood of the living is very different from the blood of the dead, and the puppet worms hatched by the blood of the living are completely independent of the control of the mother, or even not affected by it at all, and are completely independent of the new generation of female worms, but the puppet worms hatched by the blood of the dead are not. This is also the secret that the old body has been trying to explore, but after decades of research, he has not been able to understand it, and it seems to be related to the "soul". The old body boldly guesses whether there is any soul mark in the blood of the living? When the body leaves the body or dies, the soul mark in the blood will also dissipate? What is the truth, the old body has no basis to prove it, and it cannot be taken seriously. ”
At this point, several people fell silent, each thinking about something.
After a while, Tu Tian suddenly asked again: "Master, what does the mother worm rely on to feed, and how long does it take to lay eggs?"
The ghost woman replied with a smile: "Naturally, it is the blood of the master." If there are rare things such as spiritual grass and spiritual springs, it can also help them grow rapidly, or even transform directly. As for how long the eggs will be laid, it is difficult to answer. Under normal circumstances, the female worm can lay eggs after three molts. But how long does it take to metamorphose depends on your creation, depending on many factors, the most important is the master's physique and cultivation, after all, the treasure of heaven and earth can be met but not sought, and the master's blood is its main food. In addition, it is important not to be lazy to substitute the blood of other living creatures, otherwise it is very likely that the mother worm will defect and even eat its master. ”
"Oh, we see, master. ”
Tu Tian asked many questions one after another, and the ghost woman answered them all in detail, and she became more and more overjoyed. If this little baby is not called a genius, who would dare to call it a genius? It is just that the physique is so special, and even the understanding is unbelievable. She made up her mind that she must cultivate him well, not to mention inheriting his mantle in the future, even if it is the lintel of the light gate and the creation of a glorious and prosperous era that has never been seen in the ghost cultivation world, it is just around the corner.
In the following days, Tu Tian stayed in this mansion and studied hard, but whenever she had any questions, she constantly had to ask the ghost woman, and even the ghost woman applauded after some questions were asked, which made her have a great inspiration. Later, even the toad couldn't see it, and secretly found Tu Tian to "learn" the theory of cultivation, the little baby's thinking is very different from that of mortals, as if there are no limitations, imaginative, but meticulous, always able to explain the problem from a novel angle, straight to the core, so that the toad sighs from time to time: After practicing for nearly a thousand years, the knowledge is not as good as a five-year-old doll, and before the co-authoring, he was practicing with his eyes closed.
Cai Wei naturally does not have Tu Tian's understanding, but she is also qualified, these days with their daily changes and progress, in addition to practice, she also took on the responsibility of laundry and cooking, her dishes are a must, the stomach of several people is comfortable, although the ghost woman is still eccentric, but she will not "look the other way" to her, and began to teach her seriously.
One day two months later, the food in the house ran out, and the ghost woman was worried about the toad, so she went out with a few people and came to a town not too far from Silver Snow City to purchase all kinds of needs. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, before leaving, the ghost woman cast a spell to change the makeup for Tu Tian and Cai Wei, but it was also in line with Tu Tian's wishes.
Entering the busy and noisy mortal world, Tu Tian and Cai Wei both had a feeling of being separated from the world, feeling that what was in front of them was very unreal, Tu Tian even asked himself, what is the hustle and bustle of the world, what is the bitterness and loneliness of the cultivators, and what is the life like in the world?
He shook his head vigorously and returned himself to reality. Soon after, he carried forward the nature of a child, and played with Cai Wei, swaying and playing wildly.
The ghost woman snorted and shook her head, but she didn't stop them. She was used to being lonely, and she didn't like the excitement that didn't belong to her, and she almost forgot what happiness was. On the contrary, the toad Hangerlang regarded himself as a human being, looking at the girl's ass for a while, drooling for a while, and grabbing the things of a stall and bargaining with the boss for a while, but in the end he didn't buy anything.
Tu Tian played for a while, and suddenly felt a little depressed, and he said to Cai Wei: "We have disappeared for two months, and I don't know what happened to my mother, whether I will be particularly worried." We fell into the well but didn't get out of the well, and those people in the Yuelao Temple must have spread the news, and they would probably send someone to investigate, and then think that I died in the well, right? Although I really want him to think that I am dead, so that he can get out of his control, but to make my mother worry or even sad, it is unfilial piety to be a son. When I think of the tears she shed for me when I was a child, I ......"
Cai Wei gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "Xiaotian, don't worry about it first. We found a way to secretly send a letter to my mother, so that she would not be sad to know that we were still alive. The most important thing is that you must not let your father find out. Why don't we go and ask the master, her spell is so high, there will definitely be a way. ”
Tu Tian listened to Cai Wei's words, and was indeed a little less worried, nodded and said: "It's better to ask for a toad than for a master, the master has a strange temperament, and he will definitely be tough to do this kind of thing, and maybe it will make things more troublesome." The toad guy is sleek and sophisticated, and knows more about mortals than we do, and I think the method he came up with is more reliable. ”
