Hearing my words, Zhang Mingyu fell silent.

The Gu King on the side also walked over at this time.

There was no less silence.

I smiled, looked at the Gu King and asked again, "What is your purpose?" ”

Seeing that I asked again, the Gu King spoke: "Kill the City God." ”

I shook my head.

"It's not that simple."

The Gu King sighed before he said, "Use you as bait." ”

Really.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down a bit.

It's just that this sentence, which I couldn't figure out before, was fully understood.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch comes later.

This yellow finch has never been me and this Miao Jiang City God, but him, the Gu King of Miao Jiang, and the person who guards the village in Miao Jiang.

And I and that city god are cicadas, or praying mantises.

Or rather.

Actually, in the beginning, I was the cicada.

And he and the Miao Jiang Chenghuang are competing for the identity of the Yellow Sparrow.

It's just that, in the end, the praying mantis died.

He became a yellow finch.

And I'm ......

"So you're going to kill me too?"

I looked at him.

Hearing my words, Zhang Mingyu's face suddenly changed.

"What do you mean?" He also looked at the Gu King and frowned, "You didn't say that before. ”

The Gu King was silent for a while, and did not answer Zhang Mingyu, but looked at me.

"I said it."

"Unless you can find the truth, you'll die."

"Now the city god is dead." I say.

The Gu King shook his head: "Only we know about his death." ”

"I can't convince the public."

"And if I just go out like this and tell them the news, do you think it would be useful?"

"I'm a village keeper like you."

"But in the same way, I am also the Gu King of this Miao Territory."

"I must be responsible for my people."

"I have to make them believe me, too."

"You...... Do you understand? ”

I shook my head again and said, "That's not the real reason. ”

I looked at him.

"If I'm not mistaken, your plans have been going on since I came here."

"Nope." I thought for a moment and then said, "It started when Li Bowen took the Soul Eater Gu Mother Worm from you. ”

"I've been thinking about it before."

"What kind of deal did you make between Li Bowen and you?"

"There's no way he doesn't know that you want to kill me, but he didn't stop me, and even put the Soul Eater Gu Mother Worm into my hands."

"Now, I kind of get it."

"You think you're a yellow finch."

"In reality, however, you're nothing more than a praying mantis."

"The real yellow finch is Li Bowen."

The Gu King's eyes narrowed slightly.

He seemed to be thinking about my words.

I wasn't talking nonsense for no reason, but when he decided he was going to kill me, I suddenly started to figure it out.

In fact, Chenghuang has always wanted to kill me.

The reason why I thought at first that Chenghuang was just trying to force me to leave here was just the illusion created for me by the Gu King in front of me.

And that Chenghuang has actually been in his calculations all along.

Therefore, when I came to this cave Gu village, the city god would come so quickly, he had been trying to kill me by all means, and wanted to sacrifice me to the king of the Taishan Mansion, but he was secretly destroyed by the Gu King.

As for how he destroyed it, it is unknown.

But this, now I can be sure, there will be no mistake.

At this time, the Gu King suddenly spoke: "It doesn't really matter who is the yellow finch and who is the praying mantis. ”

"Now the city god is dead."

"All that's left for me to do is one last thing."

He stared at me.

I suddenly had a creepy feeling.

"The Soul Eater Gu Mother is in your head."

I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

"No matter who is the yellow finch between me and Li Bowen, it can't change the fact that you are the cicada now."

After he finished speaking, he took the flute from his body.

"Soul Eater Gu."

"It can also be called an immortal Gu."

"Cultivated for that Gu King's disciple, in order not to be coveted by the outside world, it was named Soul Devouring Gu."

"Ordinary immortal Gu can devour a person's soul, and when that person's soul is completely devoured, it may merge with that person for a certain period of time and become a new soul in that person's body, so that that person's body can form a disguised immortality."

"Hence the name Immortal."

"But the Soul Eater Gu Mother Worm is different."

"It has two abilities."

"One is Soul Eater."

"One is the soul protector."

"Soul Eater is Soul Devouring, no different from ordinary Soul Devouring Gu."

"Soul protection is to reside in the host's body, become a part of its body, can repair its soul, and even as long as it stays in it, it can allow the host to achieve immortality in the true sense."

When I heard this, my heart was filled with turmoil.

Soul Eater Gu is Immortal Gu?

I subconsciously put my hand on my head.

The current Soul Eater Gu is parasitic in my body, and I can use its power to live forever?

That's a bit of, isn't it?

But when I thought of the situation of the first Gu King and his disciples before, I had some conviction.

They weren't soul eater Gu motherworms yet.

Although I don't know how they managed to make their souls still alive, they did live for an unknown number of years, even if they were very weak, even if they didn't look like individuals.

It's just that if what this Gu King in front of him wants is the Soul Eater Gu Motherworm, why did he give it to Li Bowen in the first place, and when I came to the Holy Village to return the Soul Eater Gu Motherworm to him, he finally gave it to me again.

What is the reason for this?

I looked at him and didn't understand.

The Gu King seemed to know what I didn't understand, and continued, "Since the Immortal Gu was cultivated, no one has really used this female worm, so even if I know what it does, I can't be sure if it's the truth. ”

"So, I've been waiting."

"Until Lieberwin shows up."

"He made a pact with me to allow the two of you to come here and help you get rid of that city god, while I can borrow your body to confirm whether the Immortal Gu Mother Worm is effective."

I raised an eyebrow.

I couldn't believe it.

"Li Bowen and your agreement?"

"Experimenting with my body?"

The Gu King nodded slightly.

Then he put the flute to his mouth.

"Now it's now certain that the Immortal Gu is indeed effective, so ...... It's time for you to give it back to me. ”

"It belongs to Miao Jiang."

"I need it."

"I will use it to protect this Miao Jiang forever."

I subconsciously kept backsliding.

The physical detachment made me choose not to fight with him, but to run.

At this point, I don't care about anything else.

I looked at Zhang Mingyu.

"What are you doing in a daze?"

"Run!"

Zhang Mingyu reacted at this time, rushed over to help me, and was about to run outside the Gu Village in the Middle Cave.

By this time, however, the flute had already sounded.

I paused and subconsciously covered my head.
