"Not this one?" As soon as Chen Jiu's words fell, the atmosphere in the firewood room suddenly became a little solemn.

Several people had some doubts on their faces.

Since there was only one, and they had just killed another one, why did Chen Jiu say that?

"It's very simple, because what we just killed was Zi Gu." Chen Jiu sighed and said, in fact, this guess had already been confirmed when he left the last Gu worm.

It stands to reason that when all the Gu worms have been killed and only this one remains, this Gu worm should not be like this.

But the one in Chen Jiu's hand was very abnormal, and it had always shown a strong desire to go in one direction, and it was not until Chen Jiu put him in a space completely isolated from the outside world that this restlessness would calm down.

And the direction that the Gu worm wants to go.

It is exactly where Qingzhou City is located.

Combined with Chen Jiu's own understanding of Gu worms, it fully shows that this cochineal Gu worm is a rare sub-mother Gu worm, the one they killed is only a sub-Gu, and the real female Gu has always been hidden in Qingzhou City.

"It's so difficult to deal with just a sub-Gu." The sloppy Taoist frowned.

He was the first to fight this Gu worm, although it was only a few cups of tea, but he also fully felt the difficulty of this Gu worm, and he was even more willing to face a city god.

Instead of this kind of Gu worm that is almost difficult to kill.

What made him even more afraid for a while was that this Gu worm was actually just a sub-Gu, and the real female Gu, almost without thinking about it, knew how terrifying this thing would be.

Red clouds are all over the sky, and the city is full of corpses and bones is definitely not a joke.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire firewood room was extremely solemn, and everyone felt that the burden on their bodies was invisibly several times heavier, and the trip to Qingzhou was probably more difficult than imagined.

"Relax, this Gu worm is not difficult to deal with, as long as you find a way to restrain it, you can kill it." Chen Jiu comforted.

As he said this, a few people relaxed a little.

"Also, now that we haven't seen the city god of Qingzhou, we have extinguished our prestige first." The green-robed scholar grinned, and the atmosphere in the firewood room suddenly eased a lot.

"Eun Gong ~ Eun Gong ~!"

Before they could talk for a while, the second baby walked briskly, carrying a few pheasants and ducks in their hands.

"These are all sent by the people in the village in order to thank the Engong, you see how these wild animals are made delicious, I will let my mother stew them for the Engong."

Chen Jiu looked at the young man in front of him with some tears and laughter.

"Feel free to do so, just look at it." He didn't refuse the things sent by these villagers, first, he refused, these villagers will continue to send them, and secondly, he can also let Erwazi's family make up for their bodies.

The second baby nodded, and immediately brought a few wild animals for his mother to deal with.

After the tea and dinner, the sloppy Taoist chatted with everyone.

"Why do you say that the people of Qingzhou Chenghuang want to leave a Gu in this wilderness?"

The scholar in the green robe thought for a moment and said: "Didn't the second baby say that the people of Qingzhou Chenghuang are chasing people in this mountain forest, maybe they were lost at that time." ”

The sloppy Taoist waved his hand and said, "How is it possible, this is not an inconsequential thing, how can you say that you will lose it." ”

"Since it won't be lost, it's interesting that it appeared in this place, it's not to kill a few villagers, right?" The green robe scholar said.

"You're right, it's really there to kill these villagers." Chen Jiu glanced at the green-robed scholar meaningfully, "If we hadn't appeared here in time, I'm afraid this village would have been devoured by that Gu worm a long time ago." ”

He is not alarmist, but justified.

Previously, he guessed that this thing was a ghost, so he had the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but now it seems that although he guessed a little, there is generally no difference in the spirituality of this thing.

still has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

The second baby should have been chased by that thing for a while before she fainted, until the Gu worm sensed Chen Jiu and the others and fled immediately.

Later, at night, he killed people in the village.

However, because Chen Jiu and them were in the village, this Gu worm only left after killing five people, and the place he chose was also the farthest house from Chen Jiu and the others.

Later, Chen Jiu dispersed the people, and the Gu worm immediately took the bait and prepared to kill in the village.

In the end, it was annihilated in one fell swoop.

To put it bluntly, the people of Qingzhou Chenghuang put these Gu worms in this wilderness for nothing more than a purpose, using these villagers in the wilderness to raise Gu.

When all these villagers are killed by the Gu worms and the Gu worms have obtained enough nutrients, they will return from the city to collect the Gu worms.

"If my guess is correct, there should be a lot of such sub-Gu, and its purpose should be to provide enough nutrients for the mother Gu." Chen Jiu said secretly in his heart.

Use these sub-Gu to kill people in such a remote place.

In the end, these spirits will be supplied to the Mother Gu, so that the Mother Gu can grow, although there will be some slowness in efficiency.

But the victory is quiet.

These villagers who are located in remote areas and are in the wilderness, I am afraid that even if they die, few people may not know and care, so it is impossible to alarm the Great Song Dynasty.

Treating human life as a mustard, this is the truest portrayal of Qingzhou Chenghuang.

"No, they need to be stopped as soon as possible." Chen Jiuxin said.

Originally, he had planned to stay in the village for another day to find out what was going on in the city before entering the city, but now it seems that time is no longer allowed.

He had to deal with these Gu worms as soon as possible, so that fewer people would die.

……

After explaining some matters to the sloppy Taoist and the others, it was already noon, and at this time, Chen Jiucai dressed up a little and went to the nearest city, Yanling City.

His disguise this time does not mean that he has changed his appearance, but his identity.

As soon as he came to his previous status as a southern merchant, it might be okay to fool the group of defenders in Guobei County, but in Yanling City, it couldn't stand scrutiny.

After all, he didn't even know what the items sold in the car were.

The second baby originally wanted to follow, but considering that the people from Qingzhou Chenghuang asked him to lead the way, he was also rejected by Chen Jiu, so he was the only one who could go this time.

Even the blue-robed scholars who were proficient in change couldn't follow.

"Yanling City..."Chen Jiu looked thoughtfully at a rather spectacular city in the distance, which was also considered an important city in the north.

Although it is not prosperous, it is also a transportation artery.

However, the city did not appear in the afterlife in his memory.

I think it was destroyed in the war of the unknown time in the millennium.
