[Option 2]

【Heart Gu】

……

The old woman handed the porcelain altar to Zheng Zhuo's eyes and opened the lid. A putrid smell rushed into Zheng Zhuo's nasal passages, making him almost retch.

The sound of crawling and scratching is more than twice as loud. Zheng Zhuo looked into the altar, and his scalp suddenly went numb.

The two-finger-wide centipede is shiny and shiny, and the scorpion, which is smaller than the palm of the hand, is pitch black, and in addition, there are small turquoise snakes like thin threads and a large group of red ants hugging each other. All these poisons are crowded next to each other, you bite me, and you keep tearing off parts of each other's bodies.

"Good, good. Get out right away. ”

Mother-in-law Wuhua whispered softly to Gu Zhong. Her gentle voice was heard in Zheng Zhuo's ears, but it was even more terrifying than the call of the life-seeking Yin Si from the Netherworld.

"Let's pick it. Don't wait too long. ”

She smiled at Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo was trembling all over, and he wanted to run—but the five-flowered granny seemed to know what he was going to do. I only heard two soft sounds of "bang", and Zheng Zhuo's acupuncture points on his feet were pointed, and he couldn't use half of his strength.

"Which do you want?"

Seeing that Mother-in-law Wuhua had already put her hand into the Gu with a smile, Zheng Zhuo knew that there was no way to avoid it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "...... To [enter the heart Gu]. ”

Granny Goka smiled with satisfaction.

"[Poison is invulnerable]. The name is the most auspicious, and it is a good luck. Not bad, not bad. ”

Zheng Zhuo watched the old woman hook from the inside and took out the blood-red ant.

"Open."

As soon as her little finger touched Zheng Zhuo's chin, Zheng Zhuo felt that her cheeks were sore.

His jaw was dislocated.

"Eat slowly."

The old woman stretched out her hand and sent the wriggling ant ball into Zheng Zhuo's mouth.

Rustling.

The sound of ants crawling seemed to sound in Zheng Zhuo's head. He felt the tiny knobs spread out in his throat, sweating down the rain.

What Granny Wuhua had just said echoed in his head.

"[Poison is invulnerable]. Those who receive Gu, the seven orifices and hundreds of bones are poisoned, the eight meridians and twelve veins are all integrated, and the [internal and external strength] is completed to the state of perfection, and enters the body without leakage. ”

"Gu worms enter the heart, day and night like ten thousand ants devouring the heart, day can not rest, night can not sleep...... If you live, you will be tormented by that day......"

All of a sudden.

There was a sharp pain at the base of the tongue. It was like a sharp knife in the throat.

The red ants bit through the root of Zheng Zhuo's tongue and drilled into it from the inside, straight into the five internal organs, the eight veins of the strange meridians. They break through the barriers between the meridians, gnaw at the flesh, and open up the whole body to become one.

The resulting pain was far greater than any pain Zheng Zhuo had experienced before. The pain left him speechless, unable to scream, and unable to move. The cold sweat had soaked him all over his body. His eyes began to turn white and black.

He fell to the ground.

……

I don't know how long it took.

Zheng Zhuo blinked.

And then, again.

The pain persists. It is just a sharp pain that is like a thousand cuts on the inside of the body, and it turns into a stabbing pain that seeps out of the muscle marrow.

It hurts to death.

But......

Zheng Zhuo seems to be used to it.

"Ho...... Ah......h

Slowly, slowly, he propped up his body.

The vision swayed. The mother-in-law who was standing in front of him is gone.

She didn't know when she left. It should have been a long time since he left, but Zheng Zhuo didn't hear it at all.

"Ah...... Ah......h

I have received too much pain, and the depths of my head have become numb.

Zheng Zhuo opened the [Identification].

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Status: Into the Heart Gu]

[Internal strength: Taiqing Gangqi (consummation)]

【External Strength: Liuyun Gong (Perfection)】

[Moves: Wild Ball Boxing (Xiaocheng), Small Grappling Handle (Xiaocheng), Point Acupoint Hand, Light Smoke Step (Rough Pass)]

[Blade: Double Hook: Tripping Horse Hook Method, Double Hook: Fishing Hook Method (Xiaocheng)]

【Qimen: None】

……

Mother-in-law didn't lie. Zheng Zhuo's eyes appeared in front of him, and the information above the coarse, small, and large successes appeared.

Even Xiang Renjie didn't talk about the field when he was teaching him martial arts knowledge.

Complete.

It means that it is no longer possible to go any further.

It's an exaggeration. The effect brought by the [Heart Gu] was so strong that even the [Liuyun Gong], which had only been seen a few times to get out of the thorn bushes, and had not even reached the [Rough Pass] realm, had already risen to [Consummation].

Zheng Zhuo slowly, slowly tried to run the [Taiqing Gang Qi].

"Hmm——!"

An unprecedented horror caused him to fall to the ground again.

The inside of the body is completely opened. As soon as the majestic true qi left the dantian, it immediately filled the limbs and hundreds of remains, like the waves of the sea, endless.

The muscles, muscles, internal organs, and bones in the body seem to be completely gone. Along with more intense pain, there is a stronger force.

Zheng Zhuo even suspected that he only had a layer of skin left. It felt like this skin, with nothing but true qi flowing through it - nothing else.

Wrong.

And the pain.

"Shhh...... Ah......h

If he didn't get his true qi, he wouldn't even be able to stand up. The constant pain made him very weak.

But at the same time.

It's scary.

Zheng Zhuo's hair stuck to his face because of sweat. He reached for it.

The strands of hair were crushed by his fingertips, turning into fine powder.

……

Until dark, Zheng Zhuo had only done one thing.

Try to get yourself up in pain.

It's like having a million steel nails stuck in your body. With every step, Zheng Zhuo would fall because he couldn't bear the sting.

He just repeated the action and got used to it.

A few hours passed. It was getting dark.

Zheng Zhuo finally learned to walk again.

The pain in the body has become numb. The only thing that persists is the pain coming from the mouth.

Constant cramping and itching.

Zheng Zhuo only felt that he was going crazy.

To force himself to calm down, he began to think hard and get his brain spinning again.

Four people.

Granny Wuhua said that she had found four people to fight in this [Lost Star Luo Array]. Whoever survives to the end will be able to leave.

He is a person, and Xiang Renjie is a person.

The dumb beggar......

Mother-in-law Wuhua said that there were four people in this valley. I'm afraid, dumb beggars are also counted among them.

And the dumb beggar does have a manuscript on his body, and if it was given to him by the old woman, it makes sense.

The dumb beggar could not speak, he was crazy, but he could read words. Such a strange thing, I'm afraid it wasn't because he had played some "games" with his mother-in-law alone, and he was tortured dumb and crazy.

The dumb beggar is also a person.

Well, there's one more person missing.

Who else is this person? Mother-in-law Wuhua also wants to plant a Gu for herself?

No, no.

The mother-in-law said that the one of the four who survived could get out. I don't think I'm counting myself.

Is that......

This thought lingered in Zheng Zhuo's mind many times until he heard a "rustling" sound in the forest.

What people!?

Zheng Zhuo looked at it.

There was a black shadow in the forest.

Very tall and skinny.

It's not a stout Xiang Renjie, nor a short and thin dumb beggar.
