Chapter 157: Gu Worm
Early the next morning, Tang Jiu came to Guanlan Garden with great interest.
"Lin Yu, I heard that you ran to the forbidden land yesterday and sneaked into the cold pool!"
Being interrupted by someone in the process of refining magic weapons, Lin Yu was in a bad mood, he frowned, put down the peach wood sword embryo in his hand, and looked at Tang Jiu: "That's right, I took a look at the thing at the bottom of the pool and cut off one of its hands." ”
Tang Jiu sighed: "Grandpa Shi has been sitting by the pond for thirty years, and he has never dared to take a step into the pool. Then do you see the appearance of the monster at the bottom of the pool, tell me quickly. ”
"It was too short to see clearly. ”
Lin Yu stood up: "But I've roughly deduced it, as long as I go and confirm it again today, it's almost the same." ”
Tang Jiu came over excitedly: "What the hell is it, tell me quickly!"
Lin Yu looked at Tang Jiu: "Hundreds of years ago, among the Tang Sect, did anyone use the Gu Poison Technique?"
Tang Jiu paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Gu worms are widely spread in Yunnan, and the land of Bashu is adjacent to Yunnan, and over time, the Tang Sect will naturally dabble in some essences." ”
And so it was. ”
Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully: "In this way, you can basically be sure that those things under the water are Gu worms." ”
Tang Jiu was taken aback: "It's impossible, what Gu worm can live for hundreds of years and so long?"
"Gu worms can't live for hundreds of years, but if it's a group of Gu worms that can reproduce, then it's not difficult to live for hundreds of years. ”
Lin Yu looked at Tang Jiu: "Yesterday Mr. Tang said that Hantan also has the name of Ghost Hu in the classics of the Tang Sect, and the Ghost Hu is a container used to raise Gu, since it is called Hantan in the classics, then Hantan is mostly a place for raising Gu, including the sealing net, which should also be a means to prevent Gu worms from escaping." ”
Tang Jiu shuddered: "Use the entire Hantan to raise Gu?
"This is normal, the water temperature in Hantan is extremely low, which can reduce the growth rate of Gu worms and prolong the survival cycle, which is a very ideal place for Gu breeding. ”
"Judging from what I saw underwater last night, this should be a thread-like Gu worm that attaches itself to the remains of a monkey at the bottom of the pool, so it looks like a humanoid. ”
Although Lin Yu had never practiced Gu art, he had thousands of volumes of immortal family classics in his mind, and he had no difficulty in obtaining these Gu cultivation knowledge.
Tang Jiu nodded: "Although I don't understand what you're saying, I feel very powerful, what kind of Gu worm is this kind of thread-like thing?"
"I don't know, if you can find the classics of Gu cultivation in the Tang Sect back then, you should be able to figure out the true body of this Gu worm. ”
Tang Jiu sighed: "The past classics in the Tang Sect have long disappeared, otherwise they wouldn't have been so miserable by the things in this cold pool!"
Lin Yu was not surprised: "There is another way, since the death gate of the Great Array was guarded by the ghosts of Hantan back then, I think there should still be traces of writing, I am going to go to the Great Array to check, maybe I can find some clues." ”
Tang Jiu shook his head: "There is not much hope, to be honest, that big array has been searched dozens of times inside and out, and there is nothing except those stone tablets." ”
Lin Yu was not surprised by this: "It's okay, if I can't find clues in the big array, then I'll sneak into the bottom of the pool again to catch some Gu worms and come back, in short, I must find out the true face of these Gu worms today." ”
Tang Jiu nodded excitedly: "Then what do you need me to help you do?"
Lin Yu looked at Tang Jiu, thought for a while, and then spoke: "There is a very important thing for you to help me do, when I go to the big array to inquire about clues, you stay here to help me watch Xiaomeng, don't let her encounter danger again." ”
Tang Jiu almost cried: "No, you let me watch the child for you~!"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, it's a very important job for you." ”
"You ......"
Tang Jiu raised his leg and wanted to kick Lin Yu, but after thinking that he was not his opponent, he had to give up.
Sending Tang Jiu and Lin Xiaomeng away, Lin Yu came to the stone tablet array in the back valley, found the location corresponding to the door of death, and began to look for possible traces left by the Gu worms.
It has been a long millennium since the beginning of the establishment of this stone henge, and the surface has been mottled and weathered very badly.
The shape of the whole large array imitates the gossip, containing the portals of the eight directions, which are open, rest, life, injury, Du, scenery, death, and shock.
The ghost gate in the southwest corner was originally guarded by ghosts, but Lin Yu carefully checked the location of the death gate for a long time, and neither the ground nor the stone tablet could find any clues.
It seemed that it was just a waste of time to continue, Lin Yu stopped searching and prepared to enter the cold pool again.
"Whoa—"
Suddenly, a crisp chirping sound sounded from above, and Lin Yu looked up and saw a black parrot standing on the top of the giant stone monument.
This bird is a parrot that followed Tang Shouyi, named Mo Yu, Lin Yu had seen it once last night, so he had some impressions.
Lin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up: "I only cared about looking on the ground before, but I ignored the situation on the top." ”
These huge steles are more than 20 meters high, and the surface weathering is impossible to borrow, even martial arts masters are difficult to climb, and it can almost be concluded that no one has checked the top of the steles.
Lin Yu's feet were forced, and the whole person was like an arrow from the string rising from the ground, rushing straight into the air at a height of seven or eight meters, as the upward momentum weakened, his right foot was a little in the void, and a white air mass immediately appeared under the soles of his feet, as if a suspended step.
With the help of this step, Lin Yu raised the whole person more than three meters upwards again, and then he stepped out with his left foot, and it was a floating step formed by an air mass.
Flat step into the sky.
When he was fighting the giant python in the dense forest, Lin Yu had used this magical power, but at that time, he could only take a step in the air.
But now Lin Yu's cultivation has gone one step further, and he has been far better than he was at the beginning, only to see him constantly striding up in the void, as if he was walking on the ground, and after seven steps in a row, he was not far from the top of the stone wall!
At the last point of his toes, Lin Yu turned over lightly and landed firmly on the top of the stone stele.
Like the stele, the stele was bare and mottled above, with a few blackened weeds growing out of the large amount of rubble, and nothing else.
The top of the entire stele is more than a foot wide and more than two meters long, and it is already unobstructed when swept at a glance, and there is nothing worth noting.
The wind was whistling in his ears, and Lin Yu raised his eyes to look around, and the top of the stone tablet that he could see was nothing special.
Lin Yu shook his head, it seemed that he had found the wrong direction again.
"Whoa—"
Cui Yu suddenly let out another chirp at his feet, and a pair of bright little eyes looked at the few black dead grasses in the stone crevices, and his expression seemed to be quite nervous.
Lin Yu's heart moved, with such a strong wind on the top of the monument, how could these few withered grasses be so stable and not move?
Lin Yu took two steps forward and squatted down to carefully observe the withered grass in the stone crevice.
"This ...... It's not grass!"
These are several thin sticks like wire, with dark bones all over, firmly rooted in the cracks of the stone.
Lin Yu casually picked up a gravel from his feet and threw it at these black thin sticks, the thin sticks suddenly reacted, and raised the top with a snap, accurately hitting the gravel flying in the air, and hitting the small stone far away.
Lin Yu's face showed a sudden expression, it turned out that this thing was not a dead grass, but an animal!
"Clemats, I see!"
