Chapter 3: Blood
Early the next morning, Li Nan came to Gu Che's room, found a pool of blood on the ground, and immediately rushed to Gu Che, seeing Gu Che's face was pale, Gu Che also opened his eyes at this time, Li Nan asked with concern: "Che'er, where are you uncomfortable, where are you injured, how can there be a pool of blood, hurry up and let my mother take a look."
Without waiting for Gu Che to speak, Li Nan looked at Gu Che's body from top to bottom, inside and out, only there were some red patches on his chest, Gu Che only said that it might be a cold poison attack, Li Nan only said to follow me to see Lang Zhong, and then took Gu Che to Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong only said that the muscles and veins in his chest were a little damaged.
At noon, two people from the government came to the store to ask, did anyone come to the store to sell a medicine, he took out a piece of paper, and the paper was painted on the "Duhuo" that he received yesterday, Li Nan thought about it, it turned out to be a stolen goods, it is estimated to be an important medicinal herb, and now he is in trouble, although he has thousands of thoughts in his heart, but his face does not move, and he said bluntly: "I haven't seen it, what kind of medicine is this, is it very valuable?" β
The one who caught the light one said: "This is Master Li's life-saving medicine, if you see it, you must report it to the government in time, if you don't report it, you deliberately conceal it, and you will be punished for the same crime!" β
The elder frowned, turned his head to criticize the young catcher, and said, "Don't say what you shouldn't say, we're only responsible for tracking." Then he said to Li Nan: "Shopkeeper, if there is news or you see this herb, report it to the government in time, and you will be rewarded." β
Seeing that the two catches were about to go away, Li Nan hurriedly walked into the back hall and found Gu Che, Gu Che was playing a game of selling medicine with his sister, it was really boring, Li Nan asked: "Che'er, where is the herb yesterday?" β
Gu Che was surprised: "Mother, what's the matter, someone else came to ask for it, and I fed the rhubarb yesterday." β
Li Nansi lined up for a while, and said: "If someone asks you if you have seen this herb, you have to tell everyone that you have not seen it, just now the government sent someone to ask, it is estimated that it is stolen goods, and now there is no more, it will be troublesome if someone knows that it is lost in our place." β
Gu Che replied, "Got it, mother"
Angel replied in a milky voice: "Angel also knows, mother"
Li Nan smiled and touched the heads of the two children, and said, "Keep playing."
But Gu Che didn't let go of his thoughts, and thought: "It seems that the East Window incident happened, such a precious herb, so likely that an illiterate person came to sell 50 Wen, it is really stolen, but fortunately, it is cheaper for me, it seems that they have not caught the thief yet, I must find the thief first, and then solve him, otherwise there will be big trouble later." β
Although Xuezi did not succeed in starting to cultivate, he still had his hands on an ordinary person, hey, this cold poison suddenly attacked again, the scorching sun in the sky was just over, and Gu Cheque couldn't feel a trace of heat.
Wu congenital perception of danger, in ancient times to predict disasters, to ensure the continuation of the fire, later developed divination, has a more accurate understanding of the dangers, making human beings stronger, and the core of divination lies in the use of soul power, communication between heaven and earth, through more information, to judge the source of danger and solutions. Although Grandpa Gu Che did not practice the exercises in his previous life, with his ancestral divination techniques, he was also known as Gu Yixian in the local area, and Gu Che naturally learned some fur, and it was not a big problem to find clues to someone, but fortunately, there was no shortage of tortoise shells in the store.
Immediately went to the front to get two tortoise shells, and said to Li Nan that he would play games with his sister, and Li Nan didn't suspect it, so he said be careful and don't eat it in your mouth.
It was night, Li Nan was far less light than what he said to the children during the day, talking to Gu Feng about today's events in bed, Gu Feng pondered for a moment, and said: "Since it is gone now, I will not go into the mountain tomorrow, first inquire in the city who lost this medicine, what is the value, if the value is not high, go to someone to discuss it and see how to solve it, but in the current situation, this medicine should be more precious, and then find the person who sells the medicine, see if there is any way, otherwise it is estimated that we will find us soon." Li Nan nodded yes.
At this end, Gu Che looked up at the sky, tonight the dark clouds covered the moon, it seemed to rain, the moonlight came and went, at this time he took out the two tortoise shells he took during the day, and took out a ball of blue cloth, which was used by the people who sold medicine that day to wrap the medicine, and then sat cross-legged, integrating the soul into the tortoise shell and cloth, and then silently recited: There is no self in heaven and earth, only I am a true witch, I saw this person vaguely appear in my mind, and then the tortoise shells were broken like powder, pointing to the north.
Chen Mazi, who was far away in the broken temple in the north of the city, suddenly had heart palpitations and woke up, he already knew that he had stolen the herbs of the Li family, and now the government and the underworld were looking for him, and he wanted the Li family to know that he did it, and he would kill him directly, so he didn't dare to stay in the old nest before.
Ran to the ruined temple in the north of the city to temporarily avoid the limelight, looked up and saw the huge King Kong full of dust and cobwebs, King Kong's eyes glared angrily, holding a hammer in his left hand and holding a right hand in his hand, I don't know what weapon he was holding in his hand, Chen Mazi, who was frightened, retreated again and again, and his body was soaked with sweat;
Gu Che's soul power consumption was dizzy for a while, rested for a while, found a piece of cloth to wrap on his head, walked out of the door, and jumped on the roof, at this time, if anyone saw it, it must be extremely frightened, a small body, shuttling on the roof, like a wild cat landing without making a sound.
When I came to the north of the city, I found that there was only one broken temple here that could accommodate me, and the ground was full of dust when I walked into the broken temple, and half of the plaque under the eaves was hung obliquely on the wall, and it looked like it was going to fall off at any time, and the wind outside was still howling, and the broken windows on all sides and the broken door in the middle made an ugly creaking sound.
Gu Che slowly walked to the threshold, inside Chen Mazi listened to the whistling sound of the wind outside, and inside the broken temple, the wind also rolled up the straw and blew out, as if he was about to leave this dangerous place.
"Bang", the plaque at the door fell, in this night except for the sound of the wind, there was a loud bang, Chen Mazi was startled, and then looked at the door, at this time, the moonlight just peeked out of the dark clouds, he saw a small figure in this moonlight is particularly conspicuous, only to see that this person is not tall, and the half-covered face can still see the miserable white skin, which makes people very frightened, and asks tremblingly: "Who are you?" Find me something".
Gu Che took off his turban, and Chen Mazi exclaimed, "It's you, it's you who took that herb!" β
On the contrary, Chen Mazi was not afraid, because he knew that it was the child he saw that day, and asked sharply: "What about the herbs, what about the herbs, this is the Li family's thing, and if you lose it, you will die."
Quickly rushed to Gu Che, as if he was afraid that Gu Che would run away, his hands were about to touch Gu Che, only to see Gu Che quickly kick out, Chen Mazi flew out of the way, curled up like a cooked shrimp, his eyes were full of horror, he couldn't imagine that a child could have so much power, Gu Che walked in and smiled: "Next, I ask, you answer, if I find out that what you said is half a lie, heheγγγγ"
In Chen Mazi's eyes, now he is not a six-year-old child, but a demon who asks for his life, and replied in a panic: "Okay, okay, you ask, you ask"
Gu Che asked, "Where did you get this herb?"
"This is the day in the Tiantian restaurant, I was eating downstairs, just the restaurant has no place, a young man and a servant came in one after the other, let me give up my seat, I didn't agree, just beat me, and then I couldn't get angry, so I took advantage of them not paying attention, took away this herb, today I only know, it turned out that the young man was the third young master of the Li family, and the medicine he bought was going back to the old man, and now he lost it, the Li family has a lot of influence in the local area, and the black and white dishes are very open, and now the outside government and the Taiping Gang are helping to find it" After speaking, Chen Mazi secretly looked at Gu Che's expression, and saw that Gu Che's face was as deep as water.
At this moment, Chen Mazi had a hallucination, in front of him was not a child, but an adult who had been in the world for a long time, and a very contradictory temperament appeared on Gu Che, Gu Che paused for a moment, and then asked: "Have you told anyone else about stealing the medicine?" β
Chen Mazi hurriedly said: "No, in our business, we are the first to shoot after getting things, and in the store where I can take a detour that day, I guarantee that no one knows, but today the Taiping Gang has summoned us all to question, I am worried that something will happen, so I hid here." β
Gu Che glanced at him obliquely, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Oh." β
Chen Mazi was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Don't kill me, I promise not to say it, others don't know, and I won't implicate you." β
Chen Mazi knew that the six-year-old child in front of him did not lack the strength to kill him, the smile just now seemed to announce his next fate, and he was also making the final struggle, Gu Che gradually walked into Chen Mazi, every step he took, Chen Mazi felt like a sledgehammer in his heart, "I still have something to say, when I took the medicine that day, I also heard one thing, they said that there is still a big medicine to mature in eight years, on the cliff at the top of Yangjia Mountain, but unfortunately it is not ripe, Yangjia Mountain is my hometown, I am familiar with that place, I can lead the way." β
Gu Che looked down at Chen Mazi, and seemed to be in deep thought, Chen Mazi seemed to be moved by Gu Che, and then said: "Look, if you kill me, tomorrow others will find my body, and naturally they will suspect me, and then it is difficult to ensure that no one will see it that day, it is easy to implicate you, it is better to let me go, I will go back to my hometown, and I will not appear in the city from now on." β
This sentence seemed to really move Gu Che, Gu Che thought that the big medicine might indeed be useful, and now killing Chen Mazi would indeed involve him as he said.
Immediately after Gu Che walked up to him, Chen Mazi shouted "Don't, help", thinking that Gu Che still wanted to kill him.
"If you shout again, I'll kill you" Gu Che said, Chen Mazi heard that he didn't want to kill him, and then shut up.
I saw Gu Che pressing on the forehead of Chen Mazi with one hand, and muttered in his mouth, "All beings have no self, only I am a true witch", and then a black totem appeared on Chen Mazi's forehead, and at the same time he felt that there seemed to be something more in his mind.
Then Gu Che said: "This is the spell I gave you, if you dare to reveal half a sentence, I can let you die violently at any time, and I can find you at any time, no one in this world can unravel it except me, you go back to Yangjiashan and wait for me, I will look for you in eight years, wait for you to leave overnight, you don't need me to send you." β
Chen Mazi was pleasantly surprised: "I understand, I can walk by myself, I can go, I am waiting for you in Yangjia Mountain." β
Immediately afterwards, seeing Gu Che go out, looking at Gu Che's back, suddenly Gu Che turned around and asked him, "Forgot what your name is?" β
"My name is Chen Jinnan, and my nickname is Chen Mazi," Chen Mazi hurriedly replied.
After a while, a sudden sharp headache came, Chen Mazi curled up on the ground in pain again, and Gu Che's voice came from his ears: "Let you feel it in advance, Chen Jinnan, haha"
This headache came and went quickly, and Chen Mazi's luck was shattered by this headache, so he hurriedly got up and walked outside the city, and disappeared overnight.
Saying that this Gu Che is not easy, the first time he used soul power to spell people, the soul power consumption is very large, he felt a pain in his chest when he went out of the door, and spit out a mouthful of blood, fortunately, it was late at night, no one saw it, the sky was cloudy, and when he got home, a torrential rain poured down from the sky, as if he was going to wash the earth hard.
The next day, the sky cleared, it seemed that all the water vapor in the sky was poured out last night, and the fragrance of grass was everywhere, Gu Che woke up leisurely, and after a night's rest, it seemed that the soul power had recovered some, but the recovery was very slow, and now he urgently needed a lot of energy supplies to replenish the consumption of soul power.
Yesterday, most of the light-spotted deer brought back by Gu Feng entered Gu Che's stomach, Gu Feng and his wife were accustomed to it, Gu Che only felt that the blood in his body was rapidly decomposing this part of the energy, and it seemed that after being defeated by Yuehua, the digestion ability of the newborn blood child became stronger.
Today should be able to restart the absorption of Yuehua in the evening, and from the spell mark, you can sense that Chen Mazi has gone away, and it is refreshing after eating.
Gu Feng went out early in the morning to inquire about yesterday's situation, and saw that the whole city was still looking for this "lone life", and he had not suspected Chen Mazi.
Suddenly I saw a person sneakily looking in the direction of the store at the corner of the left front of the door, and then a person came up and pointed to the store and saw another person on the right and nodded, Gu Che thought, "It seems that this matter is not over, and the other party did not come to the door rashly, it should not be the government, if the government suspects, it should be directly summoned to the door, it may be the local gang that Chen Mazi said yesterday, but now I don't know who the other party is, I can only wait for the other party to act first, and then subdue it, I am okay, The main thing is the safety of the mother and sister; After a while, both men disappeared.
Later in the afternoon, Gu Feng came back, called Li Nan to the back hall and said: "It's not a big deal, the thing is wanted by the Li family in the city, for the old man of the Li family, the Li family is a local drug dealer family, specializing in smuggling some medicinal herbs, there is no powerful role, even if you find the door, there is no problem, that young man does not know where to go, it is also a good thing for us." Li Nan heard her husband say this and put her mind at ease.
That night, Gu Che restarted the cultivation of absorbing Yuehua, but this time he did not sit cross-legged, but imitated the first form of the bird play in the Five Birds Opera, and carried out the Eastern Emperor Condensation Method, sure enough, the absorption of the power of Yuehua slowed down a lot, and the blood seed quickly transformed after absorbing energy, and soon returned to its previous appearance, the difference is that the color has a hint of Yuehua's silver in the blood, and then it began to be traction, sure enough, the blood was gradually pulled and run to the body, and after carefully running a circle, Gu Che felt very tired, he could clearly feel that the cold poison had eased a little, although it was very little, but in the past six years of getting along day and night, he knew that the cold poison had weakened.
Just when he wanted to try the second style of bird play, he heard footsteps, quickly lay down, squeaked, the door was opened, it turned out that Li Nan couldn't rest assured of Gu Che's body, came in to take a look, and saw Gu Che lying on the bed, gently pulled the quilt up, and then went out.
"It's so dangerous, but fortunately, I just finished the operation," Gu Che thought with palpitations;
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, after Gu Che got up, he felt refreshed, and the dark injuries caused by the day before yesterday were swept away, and his face was also a lot ruddy, which made Li Nan also feel at ease, and then for a few days, Gu Che began to secretly cultivate at night.
Groping found that the bird play and the deer play are slowing down, and the rest of the apes, tigers, and bears are speeding up in turn, and the degree of acceleration is increasing, but fortunately, Gu Che saw that the form was not right, and immediately called it a day, otherwise he would have to do it again, with the current Gu Che's physique, he could only adapt to the speed of the first type in the bird play first, and the rest of the various styles could only be slowly drawn backwards.
The vitality that was drained from the soul blood at the beginning has begun to gradually recover, and the hair has begun to gradually turn from white to black, gradually becoming shiny, Gu Che felt a tremor in his body, not because of the cold poison, but because of the comfort of the soul.
The cultivation continued, and the blood was still slowly absorbing the power of Yuehua, just when he felt that the cold poison was reduced again, the cold poison seemed to be frightened, and began to fight back wildly, and soon the chill from the spine froze his whole body, Gu Che could no longer maintain a bird-like posture, fell on the bed, and then began to swing, and even began to frost on his lips, Gu Che even felt that his soul was frozen.
Just when Gu Che's consciousness was about to be blurred, a sucking force from the Meixin Mingtang was very rough and frantically absorbed all the energy in his body, and even the power of cold poison had no room for resistance under this sucking force, and the cold wave of his body receded in an instant, and the extreme cold just now was like a dream, as if he had never come.
And its Gu Che's eyebrows and Mingtang, this opens a pure blue world, the white transparent soul particles in the blue world form a small group of soul energy, the Mingtang world is opened, Gu Che called the Mingtang soul world, there is a very clear sense of soul satiety, never had a feeling, indescribable, such as a person who has not drunk water in the desert for three days, suddenly threw himself into the lake, drank a heart, the reason was yesterday to use the first use of soul power, opened the absorption of soul power, but through eating and resting to replenish very little, The appearance of soul energy began to appear in the Mingtang world, and the appearance of this soul energy also means that he has now officially entered the realm of witches, and half a foot has stepped into the world of witches, but it also sounded the alarm for Gu Che, he not only has to beware of the cold poison that comes out at any time, before the next upgrade, he must save enough energy to supply the soul, otherwise what he will absorb next time will be his vitality.
Risk and benefit always coexist, although Gu Che at this moment has no strength in his body, but his soul at the moment feels unprecedentedly powerful, like before he gave a spell to an ordinary person like Chen Mazi, now he can cast it effortlessly, many spells that could not be cast before, can now start to cultivate.
What surprised him even more was that after the blood was absorbed this time, it split from one to two, and both returned to the most complete octopus form before, and it could clearly feel that the blood was more powerful, and it could carry and decompose more energy, and the speed was not increased a little.
And this time, I also found that the power of cold poison will also be regarded as energy by the soul, and it can also be absorbed, if it is used well, maybe you can use the spirit of the soul to solve the power of cold poison.
The next day, Gu Feng entered the mountain again to cultivate, and what he didn't notice was that someone had been staring at him, like a poisonous snake in the dark, and as soon as he set off, someone went to report.
