Chapter 251: The Trapping of the City God?
The next two days were peaceful.
But that's what I expected.
After all, even if there was a clue that the City God was in the temple now, it wouldn't be so easy to find him, otherwise there wouldn't be so many things.
And although Zhang Mingyu and I showed that the injuries were not light, as a city god guarding Huangquan Road, he was definitely not so easy to fool, even if he wanted to do something to us, he would definitely make sure that he would do it after many parties.
Besides, we are not necessarily his target.
But I'm not in a hurry.
What I have is time.
Not only that, but after coming out of the Middle Cave Gu Village, I also found that I was still able to control the Gu worms in the Middle Cave Gu Village through the Soul Devouring Gu Mother Worm in my brain, and through them, I was able to know the things in the Middle Cave Gu Village almost at any time.
Including whether or not you got to the stone house.
In these two days, no.
In other words, that Chenghuang is still in this holy village, and maybe also in the temple, but I don't know what his plans will be, and it is certain that no matter what plans this Chenghuang has, it will definitely not be a good thing.
It's just that I'm calm.
Zhang Mingyu was a little unsinkable.
It's not that he doesn't believe me, but the two days of waiting for him have made him feel a little bottomless, after all, he is different from me, I have the Gu worms in the Zhongdong Gu Village as my eyes and ears.
And he could only wait.
I can't tell him anything about the situation inside the Zhongdong Gu Village.
Even if I told him, he wouldn't necessarily believe it.
So the next night, Zhang Mingyu found me.
It was only after I said a lot of bad things that he was relieved for a while.
But I can still see it.
He was still very worried in his heart, and what he was worried about was not the safety of the two of us, but whether the city god would take advantage of our absence in the Zhongdong Gu Village to enter the Huangquan Road.
Naturally, I've thought about this as well.
It's just that the Gu worms in the Zhongdong Gu Village didn't send me such information.
After we left Zhongdong Gu Village, the village lost its popularity.
It can be said that the two of us were the last to leave the stockade.
However, to my surprise, early on the morning of the third day, Elder Tian came to us again.
This time he looked a little solemn.
"Both, the Gu King invites you to go."
"Any clues?" I asked.
Elder Tian didn't answer me, he just told me to go.
Zhang Mingyu and I packed up and left with Elder Tian as soon as possible, but in order not to be suspected, Zhang Mingyu and I still looked sick, especially as Zhang Mingyu still used his own means to make it look like his injuries were still not getting better.
To my surprise, Elder Tian didn't take us to the temple this time.
Instead, it led us to an ordinary family in the holy village.
When we arrived, the Gu King was also there.
In front of him lay a corpse on the ground.
The corpse looked like it had just died, its face was pale, and its eyes were wide open, as if it had seen something terrible before it died.
Seeing us coming, the Gu King spoke: "In the past two days, this is already the second one. ”
"The second?" I was a little surprised and asked, "How did you die?" ”
Zhang Mingyu frowned and said, "Lost his soul and died." ”
"What do you mean?" I do not quite understand.
Zhang Mingyu walked up to the corpse and examined it for a moment before saying, "This corpse looks like it should have died last night, but the soul on his body is obviously going to disappear a lot in the morning. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Mingyu looked at me.
"Remember Tiankeng Village?"
I was stunned for a moment.
"Could it be a Soul Eater Gu?"
Zhang Mingyu didn't answer me, but looked at the Gu King.
The Gu King nodded and said, "It's indeed a Soul Devouring Gu." ”
"And it's not a simple Soul Eater Gu."
The Gu King's gaze fell on me.
His face was calm, but his gaze made me shudder.
My brow furrowed slightly.
"You doubt me?"
The Gu King didn't answer, he just glanced at Elder Tian.
Seeing this, Elder Tian dismissed the other onlookers, and then the Gu King said, "Where is your Soul Devouring Gu Motherworm?" ”
I fell silent.
I can't tell him in my head, can I?
Who believes?
Seeing that I didn't answer, the Gu King wasn't annoyed, but said calmly, "The Soul Eater Gu has been cleaned up many years ago, and even I've only seen it once since then. ”
"You should know that the Soul Eater Gu Mother Worm is not mine, but given to me by Li Bowen."
The Gu King nodded and said, "It is precisely because I know the source of the Soul Devouring Gu Mother Worm that I have invited you here now." ”
"What do you mean?" I don't understand it.
The Gu King walked up to me, and his face was a little colder at this time.
He looked me straight and spoke slowly.
"What happened in the Zhongdong Gu Village?"
"Where is the Soul Eater Gu Mother Worm now?"
I took a deep breath and said, "We told you what we were doing inside when we came out. ”
"Could it be that you want to suspect me now because of this?"
"Our common enemy should be that city god!"
My words didn't make the Gu King's face change in the slightest, he was still staring at me, and those eyes were like sharp swords, which made me very uncomfortable.
It took him a long time before he spoke: "In the past two days, two people have lost their souls and died. ”
"The Soul Eater Gu is only owned by you, and now you can't hand over the Soul Eater Gu."
"I have the right and responsibility to doubt your identity."
The Gu King said and looked at Elder Tian again.
Elder Tian obviously understood what he meant, and he came to my side as soon as possible, and he had an extra iron chain in his hand.
"Are you suspicious, I'm a city god?"
I just think it's a little ridiculous.
Seeing this, Zhang Mingyu protected me behind me, frowned, and said, "Gu King, junior brother has always been with me, he can't be a city god." ”
"There must have been a misunderstanding in this matter."
"And even if the Soul Devouring Gu Mother Worm is my junior brother's thing, it doesn't mean that he killed the person."
"If he is really a city god, he can't be stupid enough to expose himself like this."
"This is most likely a conspiracy by the City God."
The Gu King's face was still calm, but he just glanced at Zhang Mingyu lightly and said, "You have entered the Four Ghost Formation. ”
"The Four Ghost Array is a magic circle created by Chenghuang based on the Four Elephant Array."
"It appeared in the Zhongdong Gu Village back then."
"And some of the people who entered the formation have been secretly controlled after they come out."
Hearing this, Zhang Mingyu was stunned for a moment.
I couldn't help but frown.
I really don't know about it.
If that's the case.
It is not for nothing that the Gu King suspects me.
After all, no one can be sure that the two of us who came out of the Four Ghost Formation are still us.
It's just that......
I looked at him.
Is it really for this reason?
