Chapter 141: Half-Human, Half-Cicada
Dao Ran once thought that Gu worms were Gu worms, people were people, and only those who fell for Gu would never equate Gu with people.
It wasn't until he used the power of the Imperial Spirit to communicate with this Seven Emotions Gu for most of the night that Dao Ran got a piece of information that shocked him.
This Gu worm was not brought by Dong Xiaowan to Shenxiu, but grew directly from Dong Xiaowan's body.
No wonder Dong Xiaowan's mood changes resonated with the oil lamp, but Dao Ran didn't notice the existence of insect eggs from her. Because this woman is a Gu, a humanoid Seven Emotions Gu.
That's why Dao Ran found Xuan Jizi and asked about this person's Gu.
Hearing Dao Ran say that Dong Xiaowan could give birth to insect eggs, Xuan Jizi seemed to remember something unbearable from the past, his face became a little ugly, and he said to Dao Ran: "It seems that Master's Gu refining technique has made a breakthrough again." ”
"What is it about refining people into Gu?" Daoran asked.
"It is to practice people as Gu worms, ordinary poisonous insects, after refining, they can have all kinds of incredible means to fly to the sky. Master thought, if you treat people as Gu worms to refine, is it okay? Xuan Jizi said very terrible things calmly.
"You're not a natural cultivator?" Daoran was a little surprised.
"Of course not, there are countless girls like me on the painting boat, I was just lucky, so I became a disciple of the national teacher, but not because I am beautiful." Xuan Jizi said in a self-deprecating tone.
"I want to hear about it." Daoran said.
"This, we have to start with the most primitive method of Gu refining." Xuan Jizi lifted his robe, sat directly on the ground, and began to tell Dao Ran a story.
It is rumored that the method of refining Gu can be traced back to the era of the dispute between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou. At that time, there was a tribe known as Sanmiao, who was particularly good at refining Gu worms.
In the beginning, the poisonous insects were just collected and put into jars to kill each other, so as to select the most aggressive and poisonous insects, and then reproduce and breed. When facing the enemy, they release poisonous insects to hurt people.
But later, the monks found that all kinds of poisonous insects had special forms and seemed to be particularly prone to mutations, so they tested them with various heavenly treasures and spells, and the methods of refining Gu slowly became complicated.
After countless years of development, Gu worms are no longer as simple as throwing them out and biting people, but have strange effects such as confusing the mind, strengthening the body, and communicating thousands of miles.
"My master is particularly obsessed with Gu refining, even more obsessed than alchemy. I often hear him say to himself, heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs, and insects are no different from people. Perhaps it was because of this inhuman idea that he chose to practice people as Gu.
"I was the first human Gu that Master successfully refined, but the process was not too painful. At that time, I took a medicinal bath every day, and I ate all kinds of insects every day. It's hard to eat, but in order to be full, you don't have to choose.
"Then one day, I suddenly felt itchy and fainted. When I wake up, I'll be able to practice. Xuan Jizi said.
"It's that simple?" Dao Ran was a little surprised, a medicinal bath and eating insects can ignite mortals? It's a horrific tactic.
"It's simple, but it's not simple. When I woke up, I found myself trapped in a huge cicada chrysalis, and I finally tore open the chrysalis and found myself buried in a pile of corpses. Later, I learned that there were hundreds of girls who swallowed the pill with me, and all of them died, and I heard that they died very badly. Xuan Jizi said.
"Heard? Didn't you say waking up from the pile of corpses? Daoran asked.
"yes, probably because it was so horrible that I forgot. Master said, "I got up from the pile of dead people because I was so frightened that I lost my mind completely. It took me half a year to recover, but my memories of that time were completely gone. Xuanjizi explained.
When Xiaoqing next to him heard this, he couldn't help but say, "It's really pitiful." ”
Xuan Jizi smiled and said, "No, it's a good thing, I don't want to have nightmares every night and dream of such terrible things." Some things, it's good to forget. ”
Dao Ran didn't know what to say, this woman was so strong that she didn't need her own comfort at all.
"Let's get down to business, you said you are Gu, is there any difference between you and people?" Daoran asked.
"Master said that I am a person who crawled out of the cicada chrysalis, and I am also half a cicada. Before the autumn breeze moved, Master thought that I might have the talent to learn divination, and from that time on, Master officially accepted me as an apprentice.
"As for the difference with ordinary people, it's not really that different. I cut open my stomach and found that the internal organs inside were no different from mortals, and they would not give birth to worms like Dong Xiaowan.
"But I am really talented in divination, and the master said that there was nothing to teach me in the art of divination, so he let me become a teacher. To be honest, apart from feeding me Gu worms later, Master really didn't treat me badly. On the contrary, he was more affectionate to me than the other brothers. ”
When Xuan Jizi said this, his expression was very strange, and he couldn't say hatred or gratitude. The national teacher gave her a new life, but not out of good intentions, if it wasn't for her luck, she would have become one of those corpses.
Therefore, Xuan Jizi's feelings for the national teacher are very conflicted.
It is precisely for this reason that after removing the Gu worms in his body, Xuanjizi chose to leave. Don't repay the favor, don't take revenge, the best ending is to eliminate grievances.
It's just that he didn't expect to be ripped off by Dao Ran, and cause and effect were entangled again, so Xuan Jizi had to use the power of cause and effect on Dao Ran's body to practice.
Dao Ran had to look at this female Taoist priest who seemed to be as delicate as a flower, but he didn't expect her to dare to open her stomach ruthlessly, this kind of operation was too advanced even for cultivators.
"In this way, Dong Xiaowan should be a new type of human Gu researched by the national teacher. On the surface, Dong Xiaowan is a mortal, but he can give birth to seven emotions Gu from his body, like a human and not a human, like an insect and not a worm, but the two are combined seamlessly, which is really powerful. Daoran said with emotion.
Although the national teacher is a cruel and unforgivable devil, this erudition and intelligence are indeed admirable.
On the way to Beijing, Dao Ran also tried to use Gu worms to do experiments, and the Gu worms he got from Ouyang Chun were put into the body of a weasel. As a result, this hungry Gu worm had just been parasitic not long ago, and died violently with the roe deer, and his death was miserable.
According to Xuan Jizi, this Gu worm cannot turn mortals into cultivators. Ouyang Chun is a special case, he already has extremely high talent, and his muscles and bones are different from ordinary people, so after taking the Spirit Jade Pill, he was stimulated by Gu worms and became a cultivator.
This situation is unique in 10,000 and cannot be replicated.
But the national teacher is different, first there is the initial version of the human Gu of Xuanjizi, and then there is Dong Xiaowan, which is obviously a targeted refining of the Seven Lovers Gu, it can be seen that his Gu refining technique has made a major breakthrough, maybe the success rate has been greatly improved.
After listening to Xuan Jizi finish talking about the origin of this human Gu technique, the last puzzle piece that Dao Ran was missing had been completed.
The rest is to break the formation.
Kill the last apprentice of the national teacher, he shouldn't be able to sit still.
