Chapter 195: Taking Gu
Zhang Mingyu looked at the white insect in his hand for a while before coming back to his senses, then looked at me and said, "Senior Brother Li, you should know about the living corpse, right?" β
I nodded.
Of course, I know about living corpses.
When the previous few city gods were looking for a new immortal body for themselves, they first refined a person into a living corpse.
For example, Xu Er's daughter.
For example, Juan Niang in Tiancoffin Village is like this.
But what does this bug have to do with living corpses?
I do not quite understand.
Zhang Mingyu explained: "The Soul Devouring Gu feeds on the soul of a living person, and once it enters a person's body, it will continue to devour that person's soul until that person's soul completely disappears. β
"This kind of Gu worm is not a special Gu worm, on the contrary, there should be a lot of people who can use this kind of Gu worm in the entire Miao Jiang lineage."
"But because the existence of this Gu insect is extremely cruel, and wanting to feed one means killing at least one person, Miao Jiang has almost banned the existence of this Gu worm."
"The last time I appeared......," Zhang Mingyu looked at me, "it was in Zhongdong Gu Village." β
When I heard these four words, my eyelids couldn't help jumping.
Does it really have anything to do with Zhongdong Gu Village?
I had a big head in the moment.
"Tell me about it."
Zhang Mingyu nodded slightly, and then said, "Senior Brother Li, I have already told you about the Zhongdong Gu Village before, but we didn't tell you about the Soul Devouring Gu at that time. β
"Because I and your senior sister both felt that the Soul Devouring Gu should not appear again, and the incident in the Middle Cave Gu Village should not happen again."
"Now it seems that we are still naΓ―ve."
"From what I know."
"Back then, the Gu King of Zhongdong Gu Village went crazy overnight and killed all the people in Zhongdong Gu Village, and there was a reason why people in the Miao Jiang lineage were unwilling to admit it so far."
"That is, the entire Zhongdong Gu Village has been subjected to Soul Devouring Gu."
My eyes widened.
"The Gu King's village has been tricked?"
"What are you kidding?"
To be honest, I don't believe this at all, because this is undoubtedly telling me that the Heavenly Master Mountain is occupied by powerful ghosts.
"What's more, Zhang Mingyu and they said that the Gu King of Zhongdong Gu Village is the first Gu King of the Miao Jiang lineage, and this status and strength can be seen."
"Who else can be Gu under the nose of such a Gu playing ancestor?"
Isn't that......
But when I think about this, I feel a chill in my back.
Because it occurred to me that it didn't seem impossible......
I immediately calmed down and looked at Zhang Mingyu, who smiled bitterly: "When I saw the news at the time, I reacted the same as you. β
"However, according to the records of our Heavenly Master Mountain classics, this is real."
"But it is very likely that only our Heavenly Master Mountain knows."
"Who is the person who went down the Gu?" I asked.
Zhang Mingyu shook his head and said, "There is no record in the classics. β
"I just said it, that Gu King is very likely to have discovered that the entire Zhongdong Gu Village has been hit by the Soul Devouring Gu, in order to prevent the Soul Devouring Gu from eventually spreading throughout the entire Miao Territory, he finally chose to slaughter everyone with his own hands, and it is for this reason that he went crazy."
I smiled wryly.
Killing so many people with his own hands, and being considered his own family, can he not be crazy?
I'm crazy for that.
"So you mean, the appearance of the Soul Devouring Gu in this Tiankeng Village now may have something to do with what happened in the Middle Cave Gu Village back then?" I asked.
Zhang Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "It's possible." β
"But it is also possible that someone in the Miao Jiang vein used this Gu worm without authorization."
"Whatever the reason, though."
"We can all rest assured now."
"Rest assured what?" I was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Mingyu shrugged his shoulders and said: "At least it proves that this place should have nothing to do with the orthodoxy of the Miao Jiang lineage, and if we get involved, it will not be considered as offending the people of the Miao Jiang lineage." β
"But ......"
Zhang Mingyu looked in the direction where the sinkhole was located.
"Maoshan is a vein...... Not necessarily. β
Zhang Mingyu's eyes were thoughtful.
"The first line of Maoshan is different from our Heavenly Master Mountain, although it can be said to be a unified Taoist system, but our Heavenly Master One lineage has always had very few disciples, even if it is not the master of the vein, he can only accept three disciples in his life, and the master of the vein can only accept one disciple."
"And Maoshan is in the same vein, focusing on teaching without class, and anyone who wants to get started, even if they can't become official Maoshan disciples, they will have the name of a layman."
"There are a large number of lay disciples in Maoshan, and there are both good and evil."
"And there is one point, that is, Maoshan is extremely protective, even if it is a lay disciple, no matter good or evil, as long as he bears the name of Maoshan, he will be blessed by the elders in the door."
"If this old eighteen is indeed borrowing this Soul Devouring Gu to do evil, we will get rid of him, and we can be regarded as offending the people of Maoshan lineage."
"Are you scared?" I looked at Zhang Mingyu.
Zhang Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head solemnly and said, "Naturally not." β
"It's just troublesome."
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "That's it." β
"Li Bowen once taught me a sentence."
"Kill what deserves to be killed."
"Save what should be saved!"
"Now the people of this Tiankeng village should be saved."
"If the old eighteen are really doing evil, then they should be killed."
"What the hell is going on...... I smiled, "looking for Lieberwin." β
Zhang Mingyu was slightly stunned again, then looked at me with some surprise and asked, "Senior Brother Li, is that what you call Senior Uncle Li?" β
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I'm just an outer room disciple, similar to a lay disciple in Maoshan. β
"What's this?"
Zhang Mingyu was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he smile bitterly: "We don't have outer disciples in the Heavenly Master Mountain lineage. β
My eyes narrowed slightly, then I pretended not to hear it, and asked again, "Now that we have confirmed that this insect is a Soul Eater Gu, how do you solve it?" β
"You can't let all the people in this Tiankeng Village enter a state of suspended animation, right?"
Zhang Mingyu shook his head and said, "At present, this is the case. β
"And from my observations, these Soul Devouring Gu have been in these people's bodies for a few days, and their souls have become extremely weak, and one day at the latest, they will completely become a soulless shell."
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and after thinking for a moment, I said, "Then let's do it." β
"But after we take out all these Soul Devouring Gus, the old eighteen will definitely find out."
"There's still something to be done."
When Zhang Mingyu heard this, he said lightly: "No." β
"As long as we don't kill this Gu worm, there won't be any problems."
"Really?"
Zhang Mingyu nodded affirmatively.
Seeing that he was so confident, I didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took him out of the house and then went to the next house.
Fortunately, there weren't many people in Tiankeng Village, so we didn't spend long.
But just over half an hour.
A total of thirteen Gu worms were taken out by us.
Originally, there were supposed to be seventeen.
It's just that four people have died in Kengcun today.
The other is the old eighteen, so naturally there are only thirteen.
The thirteen Gu worms all looked like huge maggots, and they were disgusting when they looked at them.
Zhang Mingyu didn't mind much, so he just took it and put the Gu worm on his body.
