Chapter 3: The Land of Hidden Gu
Ah Wei and the old couple gasped after hearing this.
"That is to say... If there is no today's thing... Xiaoyun will be in a year..."
Ah Wei didn't continue to say the rest of the words, and the old couple was also like ashes.
I didn't scare them, no one knows the ferocity of Gu better than me.
If Xiao Yun was one of those incomprehensible and vicious Gus, I am afraid she would have been dead a long time ago.
When the Gu worm is expelled from the body, the Gu disappears.
However, what puzzles me is that the symptoms of the initial onset of the Slice Gu will appear in the legs, and only in the middle of the middle Gu will there be the urge to drink oil, and Xiang Xiaoyun's situation of treating oil as his life will only appear in the late stage of the middle Gu.
But the later stage is generally after October of the middle Gu.
But according to Ah Wei, Xiaoyun has only been around a month since he appeared symptoms, how could he have such symptoms.
After Xiaoyun woke up, he rested for half a day, and his legs magically regained consciousness, as for the problem of drinking oil, Xiaoyun said that he was disgusted when he saw oil now, and it was estimated that it was the sequelae left by Zhong Gu who drank oil for so many days.
Ah Wei and Xiaoyun's two families are very grateful to me, the old couple is stuffing money and cigarettes, I all politely refuse, after all, Ah Wei and I are brothers who grew up since childhood, and it is not difficult for me to solve Gu, but it is a gesture.
At this moment, my mind is completely on the Gu Man.
Because the Miao Jiang Gu Technique appeared in the far north, it was already a very rare thing.
What's even rarer is that what is in Xiaoyun is the Slice Gu, this kind of Gu is only recorded in the book "Dao Gu Double Cultivation" that my grandfather left me, it is a Gu technique that has long been lost, in today's world, only the true Gu sect heirs have the ability to make this kind of Gu.
And the Gu Sect heirs have a sea of blood feud for me, and even for my entire family.
Whether I can be born, old, sick and die like a normal person is all related to this person who gave Xiaoyun Gu.
……
In order to find the Gu man, I asked Xiaoyun where he had been and what strange people he had encountered.
Xiaoyun has no enemies in her life, and her interpersonal relationship is very good, in her memories, she remembers that she went to an abandoned park with Ah Wei some time ago, and after returning from the park, she suffered from a strange disease.
Hearing the park mentioned by Xiaoyun, Ah Wei also reacted and said: "Yes, Xiaoyun seems to have fallen ill after returning from that park, and the time can be right." ”
As soon as I heard this, I guessed in my heart that the Gu man must have done something in the park.
"Let's go, take me to that park." I said to Ah Wei.
……
Ah Wei took me to the abandoned park that Xiaoyun said.
When I got to the place, I couldn't help but smile wryly, this park existed when Ah Wei and I were very young, and by the time we were in high school, it was completely abandoned.
Today, the park is unmaintained and unattended, the gym equipment is rusty and rotten, and the cement road on the ground is cracked.
Ah Wei and I reminisced about our childhood as we walked deeper into the park.
"I brought Xiaoyun here that day to remember what happened when I was a child, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this, alas..."Ah Wei sighed.
"You and Xiaoyun came here together, but she was the only one who fell into the Gu, that means that there is a place where she went alone, you reminisce and recall."
After listening to what I said, Ah Wei frowned and thought for a few seconds, and suddenly slapped his thigh as if he remembered something.
"It's a grove! The grove at the back! ”
After speaking, Ah Wei stretched out his hand and pointed to a birch forest in the distance: "Xiaoyun ran into that forest alone and took a selfie, I answered the phone and didn't follow it, we have been together in other places, there must be something wrong there!" ”
Ah Wei took out his mobile phone and showed me the circle of friends that Xiaoyun posted a selfie at that time.
I glanced at the location in the photo, and Xiaoyun was supposed to have been taken in the middle of the woods.
Seeing that Ah Wei was anxious to take me to the woods in the distance, I reached out and grabbed him.
"You'd better wait for me here."
Ah Wei looked at me puzzled: "But you are alone..."
"I'm okay with myself, if you fall into the Gu again, you'll be in trouble." I explained.
As soon as Ah Wei heard the word Zhong Gu, he probably retreated in his heart, he didn't hesitate anymore, and chose to wait for me in the same place.
I came to the grove that Ah Wei was talking about, and lowered my body to observe my feet.
Since the slices in the small cloud were sick from both legs, it meant that the slices were hidden on the ground.
Unfortunately, this abandoned park has been untended for many years, and the ground is covered with thick fallen leaves, branches and rubble.
After a careful search, I finally found a shard in a patch of weeds.
The position of this piece coincided with the position of Xiaoyun's selfie, and I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so I pulled out the snakeskin bag soaked in herbs that I had brought with me, and slowly put the piece into it.
The Fragment Gu is different from other Gus, each of the other Gu can only be used once, and the characteristic of the Fragment Gu is that it can be used countless times, and it will not become invalid until all the Gu worms disappear.
Because there are countless Gu worms hidden on each piece of grain, as long as someone passes over it, they will be parasitized by Gu worms.
I put the slices away and walked out of the grove to join Ah Wei, who saw the contents of my snakeskin bag and swallowed nervously.
"Gangzi, is that the thing that made Xiaoyun sick?"
"Yes, Gu are afraid of fire, just burn it."
"But... Who is the poison of Xiaoyun? ”
I glanced at the inaccessible grove: "The location of the Gu is not deliberate, it seems that the Gu maker was abandoned in the woods, if it is really deliberate, it will definitely not choose a place where this kind of bird does not." ”
Ah Wei agreed with what I said, and in this way, he answered the question of who they had offended.
"Gangzi, I always thought that you would only know Taoist things, but I didn't expect you to know what Gu is, you kid is really good." Ah Wei said with admiration.
I smiled and didn't pick up.
In the eyes of outsiders, our Bai family has been dealing with Taoism for generations, but they don't know that the Bai family's attainments in Gu art are comparable to that of Miao Jiang's ancestors.
But even so, the Slice Gu found here this time still caused an uproar in my heart.
I had a vague feeling that it might have something to do with the thing I've been looking for for so many years.
"Gangzi, tell me if there are many kinds of Gu in the world besides this kind of Gu, such as the kind that can make people rich." Ah Wei's mood is obviously much more relaxed now, after all, Xiaoyun's matter has been resolved, and Ah Wei also has the same heartiness as before.
Seeing Gangzi so happy, I also quipped: "Yes, of course there is, let me tell you..."
Saying that, Ah Wei and I walked out of the park, and I didn't notice that there was a gloomy man standing in the place where I found the Gu just now, staring in the direction we left. His eyes were full of doubt.
When we were completely gone, the man bent down and took out a piece of Gu from the specially made package and placed it on the ground.
