Chapter 123: Strange Gu

Yun Shu's mood is numb now, he needs to recuperate and vent.

He looked at Qi Xu silently, and his brain ached chaotically.

The general died in a hundred battles, he knew his mission, and they were all taking the wings of death and achieving their own monuments.

But his heart could not become a part of the monument.

Death has nowhere to bury the feelings of the living.

Qi Xu naturally understood his feelings, and a firm smile appeared on his pale face, "Yun Shu, I swear to you, General Yun Lu will not die in vain." “

Yun Shu said slowly, "I'm not afraid of death, but when the waiting master is gone, and the uncle is gone, I'm afraid of them...... My loved ones around me will leave me. “

"yes, I don't know how long we have to fight, I don't know how many more people will die, who will it be tomorrow, and who will it be the day after tomorrow?" Qi Xu glanced at him slowly, "But we have no way out." “

"Damn!" Yun Shu cursed.

"It's hateful, who called us Terrans, it's not easy for us to live in this world, Yun Shu, can you imagine how our ancestors endured and endured?"

"I don't know who I should hate? Emperor? Xitai people? or traitors like Fei Ling? I hate and I hate them all. Yun Shu tugged at his hair, and tears finally flowed from his red eyes, "Why are we such weakling, why can't we be as strong as Ding Yan?"

Qi Xu raised his head and took a deep breath, "Yes, I have also asked like this, and I have been so unconvinced, he was only five or six years old when he was brought to me for the first time, and the martial arts I have practiced hard since I was a child have been easily cracked by him, and the most hateful thing is that he doesn't know the collapse of your heart at all." He has long been classified as an outlier by me, so that I can paralyze myself and find some comfort in my original pride. “

Yun Shu was stunned, "Are you jealous of him?"

Qi Xu smiled and shook his head, "You won't be jealous of an outlier who can't catch up no matter how hard you try." What's more, Xiaoyan does have a trait, a wonderful trait that can make people close to trust. “

"Maybe it's because of his strength!"

"Incomplete, powerful may make people dependent on obedience, but that is not trust. Qi Xu's eyes were empty, and his thoughts were galloping, "No matter what situation or group he is in, he may not be the strongest at first, but after a while, he will become the strongest, and he will not be defeated if he does not give up." Qi Xu smiled faintly, "Xiao Yan said when he left that he was going to find an answer, and now that he is back, did he tell you that he found the answer?"

Ding Yan's sudden departure did make Qi Xu feel abandoned. Although he persuaded himself, there was still a gap in his heart.

Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what was going on, "I forgot, but when he arrived in Wancheng, he was full of energy, and he should have gained some gains from being able to fight with Emperor Lu for dozens of rounds." “

Qi Xu sighed softly

"What's wrong? Major General, don't you believe it?"

"I just think it's scary, he's become as strong as the Emperor. “

Yun Shu didn't understand, "He's become stronger, but isn't he still the same General Ding as before?

"He has become a god-like being, and the terrible thing is that we haven't changed, we haven't thought of any other way. “

"Otherwise?"

Looking at Yun Shu's puzzled face, Qi Xu smiled slightly, "Although Xiao Yan's situation is special, what is the difference between him and God? After all, he is an alien, not in the world, and he turns to the gods and spirits. “

"Isn't fate just a cycle? Hou Ye is gone, I feel weak, I am subverted by fate at any time, try my best but I don't know where the hope is, this world is originally dominated by gods and demons, no matter how unwilling we are, it is just a fight. “

Qi Xu looked at Ling Ling, "What if this breath is too strong?"

"Can you take care of so much? You can only do your best, and the decision is in heaven. “

"Someone has to make a life for the world. If there is no sage before, it should start with my generation. “

"Young General, what we are facing is not a human being, but a god or a demon! They can pinch us to death with one finger, and if we have a weak heart, how can we make a life?"

Qi Xu knew that Yun Shu was not a coward, he was just telling the truth and digging out the real fear in people's hearts.

There is no chance of victory in the fight against gods and demons!

I don't want to live on my knees, I'd rather die standing up.

Qi Xu wants more than just such a bang.

"Gods and demons are indeed terrifying, but the most terrible thing about them comes from our ignorance!"

"Ignorance?!"

"We didn't know their weaknesses, and we never tried to dig into them. “

"Is it possible? Do they have weaknesses?"

Qi Xu stroked his forehead and muttered to himself, "Yes, these are all problems, if they don't have weaknesses, why should Yan fight? The difference in choice also determines the difference between us and Xiao Yan." “

Yun Shu was stunned. Qi Xu has always thought about the problem, this may be the difference between him and Major General Dongyao.

Then

Huan Min came to visit and knocked on the door.

He said, "The brothers originally wanted to come to visit the major general, but they were afraid of disturbing the major general's rest, so they asked their subordinates to ask Jun'an on their behalf." “

Qi Xu smiled and said, "My unlucky appearance makes you worry, although this trip to Kyoto is a step late and I can't meet with the Marquis of Changliu, but it is also a rare harvest to let General Yun bring back His Majesty's secret decree, and in the name of the righteous army, make the world return to the heart and fight against the evil braid." Everyone be more relaxed, friendly forces will have them, and there will be more and more"

Huan Min said, "Yes, Major General, originally all states and counties were rumoring that we were rebels and rebels, after reading this secret edict, the teachers and scholars of Wancheng shut up, and we now plan to gather the speakers of Picheng and Yangyongcheng to Wancheng, and then let them jointly inform the world, and those rumors made by the puppet court can be cracked." “

"Huan Min, you guys did a great job. I've written it down for you. “

"Don't we dare to be greedy for the young general...... With the credit of General Yun, the brothers just want the young general to recover from his injuries quickly and lead us to crusade against the puppet court of the Su Dynasty. “

"Don't worry, there will be a battle soon. “

"Yes, I also heard Vice General Ding say that tonight to sneak into Kyoto, a group of dead soldiers are needed. Major General, tell him about counting me in. “

Qi Xu sighed and said, "Speaking of this matter, I will wait until I see Xiaoyan and ask him about his plan! “

Huan Min said, "Ding Yan wants to vent for you!"

Qi Xu just smiled slightly, "Then you will underestimate him." “

Huan Min smiled and said, "The young general just remember to mention me, and today's dinner will be earlier than usual, and the general's dinner will be sent over from the kitchen." “

Yun Shu interjected, "What about mine?"

Huan Minhan said with a smile, "I only care about the young general's injured meal, I'll go to the kitchen and send General Xiaoyun's meal over as well." “

"Then there's work. “

After Huan Min left, Qi Xu asked, "Yun Shu, you might have guessed Xiao Yan's plan?"

"How can I know that this little brother said that the wind is the rain. “

"I'll go to the council hall in a while to see if they've discussed? “

"Okay, I'll go check it out. “

Ding Yan's plan really seemed like a great secret, and even Yun Shu was stopped outside the door of the conference hall.

It stands to reason that a mature plan can be explained clearly in a few words, even if it needs to be improved, it should be completed at this time, but after nearly half an hour, the three talent plans inside were passed, Qiu Liyue went to find Yun Yu and Ziche to rearrange the details, Ding Yan and the Spirit Witch Holy Maiden followed Yun Shu to see Qi Xu.

At this time, the kitchen had just delivered a meal for two people and placed it on a small round table, with two dishes and one soup of meat and vegetables.

"Ah, steamed anchovies, I really owe it to the young general!" Yun Shufang wanted to pick up the chopsticks and eat two bites secretly, but looked at Ding Yan and the Spirit Witch Saint Maiden and put down the chopsticks, and said embarrassedly, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I'll go and ask the kitchen to send two more servings, let's sit down and eat together, and then talk about it after eating?"

But seeing Ding Yan and the Spirit Witch Saintess looking at each other and smiling, Yun Shu suddenly had a delusion, the food on the small round table seemed to be something rare and special, they were grinding and grinding, could it be that they were stepping on this meal?!

Ding Yan smiled, "I'm just afraid that I'm going to disturb Brother Yun's mouth." “

He pushed all three dishes next to the Spirit Witch Saintess, only to see the Spirit Witch Saint Maiden test the poison with a silver needle, and picked up a half-finger-sized mushroom from the bowl of soup, "This is it." “

Yun Shu was stunned, and saw that the mushroom was only the size of half a little finger, and it was as long as a mushroom.

Ding Yan frowned when he saw that it was unremarkable, "Does this thing really have that effect?"

The Spirit Witch Saintess said, "This is called the Gray Mushroom, it grows from the body fluids of the poisonous Gu, it is extremely rare, you can break it open and take a look at its inside." “

Ding Yan took it and kneaded it open, and saw three mycelium of different colors, "What is this?"

The Spirit Witch Saintess's eyes were condensed, "This is naturally a Gu seed, the whole gray mushroom is its coat, after being eaten, this poisonous Gu will accumulate in the host's head, causing damage and hallucination at the beginning, and stealing people's consciousness in the later stage." The most peculiar thing is that when the host dies, it will frantically drink water and self-harm, and this poisonous Gu will turn into body fluids and infiltrate into the ground, and when it encounters suitable conditions, it will grow a new gray mushroom. “

Ding Yan took a breath of cold air, "This poisonous Gu is really weird, but we didn't find any gray saliva mushrooms around those three corpses. “

The Spirit Witch Saintess chuckled, "Naturally, someone picked it, this gray mushroom is so fresh, it must be newly picked nearby, I will look for it later, maybe there are missing or new mushrooms." “

Yun Shu said confusedly, "What's the situation?" I'll take control of the cooks. “

Ding Yan stopped his impulse, "Don't startle the snake, what's more, I'm afraid that someone has been tricked." “

Yun Shu broke out in a cold sweat on his head, "If it's really a problem with the kitchen...... The number of victims is unimaginable. “

The Spirit Witch Saintess listened ridiculously, "Didn't I say that the gray saliva mushroom is extremely rare, how can it be used in large quantities, it will only target a few specific people"

Qi Xu frowned, "Based on the time when those three people died, the thieves have been lurking for at least two days, and there are six chances to be poisoned." “

Ding Yan looked at Qi Xu, and his heart moved, "We can't startle the snake, we have to turn light into darkness, don't you think there's anything wrong with General Yun Wei." “

Suddenly, the room fell silent, and everyone couldn't help but think a lot.

The people around him also became suspicious one after another.
