Volume 9 Chapter 24 (1)
"It's ...... Crickets, no!" Looking at the spread page, and then looking at the silver-backed general in the clay pot, the shape of the almost cricket made Chu Song suspicious, but after a closer look, he quickly denied it, although it was similar, but the appearance was two circles smaller than ordinary crickets, and the wings and claws were also different, Chu Song couldn't identify its species, and hurriedly asked: "It's not an ordinary cricket, what kind of insect is this?"
Ying Feiyang said while flipping through the book: "Do you know Gu Xuanyi's parasitic Gu?"
"I know. Chu Song nodded and said, the parasitic Gu is a Gu worm developed by Gu Xuanyi, Gu Xuanyi uses the parasitic Gu to extract part of his own memory, and then parasitizes the Gu on the selected host, so that he can suppress the original consciousness of the host body by relying on the consciousness separated from the Gu worm, and achieve the purpose of manipulating the host's body and mind.
It is rumored that every Gu slave under Gu Xuanqi was implanted with a parasitic Gu by him, so that Gu Xuanqi could invade the Gu slave's consciousness at any time. Therefore, every Gu slave is equivalent to a clone of Gu Xuanyi, and most of the reason why Gu Xuanyi can have the name of "Immortal for a Hundred Tribulations" is because of the many clones created by the parasitic Gu.
"But this worm is not a parasitic Gu, what are you mentioning it for?" Chu Song glanced at the "Silverback General" a few more times and asked suspiciously.
There are similarities between the medical Gu, Chu Song has also seen the specimen of the parasitic Gu, the parasitic Gu has no wings and no feet, it is not the same as the insect in front of him, and he doesn't know why Ying Feiyang suddenly mentioned the parasitic Gu.
"Although it's not, it's very related, the parasitic Gu is its evolution, I can't say it for a while, you come and watch it together!" Ying Feiyang had just read a few lines, and the explanation was not clear, so he gave up half of the page and invited Chu Song to sit over.
Chu Song also hurriedly stepped forward, holding half of the book and watching it with Ying Feiyang.
After looking at a few lines, I was already shocked in my heart, it turned out that like bee colonies and ant colonies, parasitic Gu was also a symbiotic insect in groups.
Their population is divided into larvae, adults, and females according to their growth stage, and parasitic Gu belongs to the adult worms.
Above the adult, there is a higher existence, the only female worm in the group with reproductive ability, and it is also the core and soul of a group.
The female worm, like the adult, has the function of extracting memories and parasiting others, but it is more domineering than the adult, and even Gu Xuanyu can't control it.
If Gu Xuanyu extracts the memories into the adult worm, and then parasitizes the adult worm (that is, the parasitic Gu) on the host, he can manipulate the host body with the induction between his consciousness.
But if the mother worm gains Gu Xuanyi's consciousness, not only will she not become a tool for Gu Xuanqi to manipulate the host's body, but will take this part of her consciousness as her own, which is equivalent to Gu Xuanqi losing a memory in vain.
What's more, the mother worm that has acquired memories eats the marrow and begins to actively reproduce larvae in large numbers to plunder more memories for her.
The mother worm gives birth to a large number of eggs as fine as smoke and dust every day, which are inhaled by others by others, and then the larvae break out of the eggs, distort the memories of the host and steal some of them.
Morning life and death, one day is a lifetime. Until the larvae completely empty a person's memories, the hostel becomes an "empty shell". The newborn larvae have no memory to devour, so they devour each other and kill each other in the human body. The one who eats the flesh and blood of the same kind in the slaughter, and the one who survives to the end will evolve from larva to adult.
This is the general evolutionary pathway of larvae.
But there are exceptions.
It must be known that this kind of memory-sucking insect is obviously not born naturally, but Gu Xuanyu transformed the original herb-eating insect after more than ten years, hundreds of generations, and acquired cultivation.
The human body is the most suitable environment for the growth of parasitic Gu larvae, the eggs are scattered with the wind, and most of the eggs that fail to fall to the human body will die naturally, but there are still a very small number of eggs that will give birth to larvae outside the human body, and a very small number of larvae can survive in the environment outside the human body.
Due to the lack of memory, these few larvae appear "atavism", changing back to the survival mode of their ancestors who fed on grass and dew.
And because they don't have to send their memories back to their mothers, these larvae also change their fate of life and death, and can metamorphose, evolve, and eventually evolve into another form - a form that looks like a cricket.
"That's how the silverback general came!"
Seeing this, Chu Song suddenly realized, but then there was a chill to the bone.
"The appearance of the silverback general, doesn't that mean that there is already a female worm in the villa!"
"Then Brother Ying is right, our memories are all affected by Gu worms, and they are distorted and lost!"
"If my memory is correct, this silver-backed general was originally caught by Brother Tieshan for Wei Meng'er. Brother Tieshan found out at that time, so he took the book "Boguan Insect Jian" from the book pavilion and wanted to do further verification, but was discovered by the murderer, so the murderer attacked him, killing the demon and burning the book!"
"Who is the murderer?Who is the host of the female worm?Is it the same demon? They must be lurking around us, if we don't find them, the whole mountain villa will be in danger!"
The more Chu Song thought about it, the more cold her body felt, beside her, a certain sister who was smiling and smiling might have become a puppet of the Gu God, and there was an evil soul inhabiting her delicate body, and at this time, she was silently watching them with the greatest malice. While watching them struggle, fall, and forget, he forced himself not to laugh out loud......
Chu Song shuddered, and the coolness seeped from the spine into the cerebral marrow, but this coolness also made her stirring mind return to clarity, "The female insect host must be found...... Let's take a look at the recognizable symptoms of the female Gu first?"
Chu Song will force his mind and take his mind back to the book, but as soon as he found the word symptoms on the page, Ying Feiyang turned the page by himself.
Chu Song immediately said: "Brother Ying, I haven't finished reading it yet." ”
But after Ying Feiyang turned the page, his face changed, and he exclaimed: "No, this book has been torn off two pages!"
"What?" Chu Song leaned forward and found that there were indeed two pages left with tears, and he was immediately confused, "How can this be, even the copy of the transcript has been destroyed!"
Ying Feiyang said: "Miss Chu, are there any other copies of this Boguan Insect Jian?"
Chu Song was so anxious that he was about to cry, and said, "No, except for Fu Youshu, who else will copy this book?"
When Chu Song spoke, he saw that Ying Feiyang seemed to have discovered something again, his face immediately turned pale, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, but he smiled bitterly and said amazingly, "No......?" It's good to ......."
Chu Song was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Ying...... What do you mean......"
"It's nothing, it's just that someone led me by the nose and left...... Ying Feiyang smiled, his smile was full of tiredness and helplessness, and he whispered to her: "Take care of the Heavenly Maiden for me." ”
Chu Song was stunned, she heard that Ying Feiyang's words were actually a farewell, but she couldn't understand it, she only blinked, and wanted to wait for Ying Feiyang to give an explanation.
At this time, Zhao Ya, who had been waiting for a long time, approached impatiently and said, "How is it? ”
"Okay! Zhao Lingzhu continued!" Ying Feiyang said, without waiting for Chu Song's reaction, he had directly thrown the book to Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya frowned slightly, and was about to reach out to catch the book, but she heard a Qingyue sword sound suddenly.
Surprised to see the cold light flash, the sword blade appeared, Ying Feiyang made another unexpected move, lost the book and at the same time turned the sword in his hand, a sharp sword qi shot out, and a thick book was twisted into countless pieces by the sword qi, like countless white butterflies flying!
