Chapter 159: Raising Gu

Tang Jiu heard Lin Yu say that this one in front of him was a Gu worm, and he was suddenly surprised: "So fast, where did you find it?"

"I found this nematode at the top of the Stone Tablet Formation, and this is the only one. ”

Lin Yu specially emphasized the words "only this one", but unfortunately Tang Jiu didn't feel guilty at all, and waved the peach wood sword embryo in his hand.

"This bug doesn't look special, it's just a little more powerful and a little ugly. ”

Lin Xiaomeng approached from behind, looked at the smashed wireworm on the ground, and showed a disgusted expression.

"This bug is so ugly, it's so disgusting~"

Lin Yu stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Meng behind him, so as not to have any more accidents: "The strength of an iron wire Gu is limited, but I am afraid that there are more than ten thousand in the cold pool, especially with the scene I observed before, this iron wire Gu likes to gather in one place and act on animal bones, so it is even more difficult to deal with." ”

Tang Jiu looked disgusted: "The more you talk about it, the more terrifying it becomes, have you thought of a way to deal with it?"

Lin Yu snatched the peachwood sword embryo from Tang Jiu's hand: "It's been found, let's go to Hantan to see Mr. Tang first." ”

Lin Yu and Tang Jiu left the villa with Xiaomeng and came to the cold pool at the bottom of the back valley, Tang Shouyi still sat in place with the demon chain in his hand, regardless of the wind, frost, rain and snow, he did not move.

Lin Yu recounted the process of discovering the Iron Wire Gu, and Tang Shouyi was taken aback.

"Iron Thread Gu, could it be that a single Gu worm has such terrifying power? My father and eldest brother are both martial arts masters, it is unbelievable that they would die at the hands of Gu worms!"

Lin Yu continued to explain: "Mr. Tang, the nematode has a property that when the parasitic nematode grows into an adult, it will force the host to return to the water, resulting in the host drowning. This should be the case with the two workers you mentioned earlier who drowned themselves. ”

Tang Shouyi frowned: "In any case, you are the only one who has seen an underwater monster with your own eyes, I trust your judgment, although this Gu worm was cultivated by the ancestors of the Tang Sect, but now that the inheritance has been broken, and the Gu worm has also gone out of control, how can we eliminate it?"

Lin Yu turned his head to look at the Sansan Peach Forest behind him: "All things are born and mutually restricted, since the people in front of the Tang Sect have left this kind of dangerous Gu worm, they will inevitably have a way to subdue the Gu worm nearby." ”

"Mr. Tang, haven't you ever thought about why you want to plant this peach forest on the outside of Hantan to completely block the passage between Hantan and the outside world?"

Tang Shouyi was stunned, and he didn't understand the meaning of Lin Yu's words for a while.

Tang Jiu's brain on the side was much faster, and he had a look of sudden realization: "You mean, this peach forest is the nemesis of the Iron Thread Gu?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, the smell of this peach wood can make the iron thread Gu weak, and the children in the Tang Sect must each carry a toy carved from peach wood, which is used as a talisman to disperse Gu worms." ”

Lin Xiaomeng took out the peach carved panda from his pocket: "It turns out that this toy is so powerful~"

Tang Shouyi's eyes lit up, he sat by this cold pool for thirty years, and his years were wasted, but what he was most afraid of was that after a hundred years, no one would be able to suppress the ghosts in this cold pool, which would cause the Tang Sect to make waves again, and the hard work of his father and brother would be in vain.

"If you can really get rid of this ghost thing at the bottom of the pool, then you can finally give an explanation to the spirit of my father and brother in the sky!"

Tang Jiu stretched out his hand and scratched his head: "I think it's a little wrong, since the peach forest can block these iron wire Gu, then why do the iron wire Gu in the big array return to the cold pool?"

Lin Yu looked at the waveless Hantan in front of him and was silent for a moment: "I speculate that the whole process is like this, the ancestors of the Tang Sect cultivated a variant of the Iron Wire Gu in the Hantan, and then took them all out of the Hantan and placed them in the large array as guards. ”

"Later, the Great Array was deserted, most of the Iron Wire Gu died, and a small number of Iron Wire Gu lived in the body of the monkey by chance, out of biological instinct, they drove the monkey through the peach forest to return to the cold pool, and with the help of the monkey tore open the sealing net, returned to the bottom of the pool to reproduce on their own. ”

"Adults return to the water to reproduce with the help of the host's body, which is in line with the biological habits of the Wire Gu. ”

"Living in the body of a monkey......"

Tang Jiu's face turned slightly pale: "This is too disgusting!"

Lin Yu glanced at Tang Jiu: "The Iron Wire Gu can not only live in the body of a monkey, but also in the human body, so the ancestors of the Tang Sect would carry peach wood toys to children, just to prevent the Iron Wire Gu." ”

Tang Shouyi looked at Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, since you have recognized the true body of the monster at the bottom of the pool, and you also know that Taomu is its nemesis, how can you completely eliminate these iron wire Gu now?"

Lin Yu pondered: "Iron Wire Gu like to act in groups, and they need to use the host's body, so without a large enough passage, they can't pass through the Demon Sealing Net. But it stands to reason that these iron wire Gu have been breeding at the bottom of the pond for a hundred years, and a sealing demon net can't trap them. ”

"Mr. Tang, are the activities of the Iron Wire Gu at the bottom of this pool becoming more and more frequent?"

Tang Shouyi shook his head: "In the first few years, they would impact the Demon Sealing Network almost every day, but then the frequency decreased, especially in the last ten years, there was only a slight temptation in almost a month or two, I thought it was because the ghost thing had been sealed for a long time and its strength was weakened." ”

Tang Jiu interjected on the side: "It's possible, those insects at the bottom of the pond have nothing to eat, they have all starved to death!"

"It's not that simple......"

Lin Yu looked at Hantan and frowned.

"The most basic principle of Gu cultivation is to place all kinds of poisonous insects in a confined space and let them kill each other, and in the end what is left is the strongest one.

Mr. Tang's father and brother repaired the sealing net and sealed the entire lower part of the cold pool, which was equivalent to creating a huge Gu breeding field, allowing these iron wire Gu to constantly kill each other and select the strongest.

It is impossible for these Gu worms to die out over time, but they will continue to devour and fuse, turning into a real monster. ”

Tang Shouyi's face became more and more ugly: "That...... Why didn't it break through the magic net?"

Lin Yu's face was thoughtful: "This is an acquired biological adaptation, there is an experiment in which the mouse cubs are raised in a very shallow plate, and every time it wants to roll outside, it will be repelled with electric shocks.

In the long run, when the mouse grows up, even if it can flip over the edge of the plate with a random jump, it will still stay in the center of the plate honestly, and will never take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Mr. Tang, you continue to use your internal strength to shake back the Gu worms at the bottom of the pool, and over time, in its subconscious, sealing the demon net is already an insurmountable thunder pool, so you have given up trying. ”

"But. ”

Lin Yu's words changed: "Once it discovers that the sealing demon net is not insurmountable, it will inevitably rush out of the cold pool!"

(There are a lot of theories in this chapter, please don't imitate them, Gu worms are dangerous, and you need to be cautious when raising Gu.) )
