Chapter 255: The Battle of Gu Cultivation
When He Zhi first discovered the Dragon God Society, He Zhi didn't notice that there was a monk in the Dragon God Society. However, at that time, He Zhi felt that the strength of the group of people in the Dragon God Society seemed to be a little less than expected.
Although there are also two or three innate level martial artists among them, compared to their reputation, the number of powerful martial artists among the group sent by the Dragon God Society tonight is still small.
According to He Zhi's original estimate, this dragon god will be able to make a great reputation near Qiyang, so that the government can not help it. It should be at least one or two masters of the Rebirth Realm cultivation, and four or five martial artists of the Innate Realm. In other words, in terms of top-notch combat power, they should be at the same level as the Dihua Sect that occupies Weigu City.
At first, He Zhi thought that this might be because the dragon god would feel that what they were dealing with this time was just a dumb kid, so they just sent a group of minions and didn't use their highest combat power.
However, just when He Zhi had been paying attention to the battle between the people of the Dragon God Society and Han Er Gongzi, he suddenly found that the qi of the person headed by the Dragon God Society was simply strange.
He Zhi tried to lock his qi several times, but in the end, he felt as if he had been led astray by something. Moreover, when He Zhi observed him carefully, he felt that this person's qi was scattered, just like a castle built with a pile of sand, which looked like a whole from a distance, but if he looked closely, he would find that the "castle" was a combination of countless small grains of sand.
This discovery aroused He Zhi's great interest at that time.
Then He Zhi used the ability of "being clear and nuanced", and carefully observed the man. In the end, He Zhi discovered that the man's arms, and even his body, were just a superficial shell! And underneath the shell were the countless things that made up the "castle" of his body!
When he was in the Martial Saint Realm before, He Zhi had heard about Gu cultivation in Ding Lu's mouth. In fact, Gu cultivation cannot be said to be necessarily an evil existence. Just like within the Qingyuan Sect, there is also a small branch composed of Gu cultivators. And the Gu cultivation branch of the Qingyuan Sect can be called the leader of the Qingyuan Sect in terms of treating patients and preventing epidemics.
At that time, when Ding Lu talked about these things to He Zhi, he just mentioned them casually. However, when He Zhi himself was on Earth, he had seen too many Xianxia stories. Therefore, in He Zhi's impression, it is ingrained that few of those guys who cultivate Gu worms are good, and they are generally evil and insidious characters.
Therefore, when Ding Lu talked about Gu cultivation, He Zhi deliberately paid attention to her and listened carefully to her about a few ways to identify Gu cultivation. He Zhi didn't expect that he would wait for the opportunity to use these methods so quickly.
After confirming that person's condition, He Zhi was already ninety percent sure that this person should be a Gu cultivator. Of course, there is also a chance that this person is not a monk at all, just a puppet whose body has been occupied by Gu worms.
However, puppets that are generally occupied by Gu worms tend to be extremely dull. So after watching the conversation between that Gu Xiu and Han Ergongzi for a while, He Zhi really determined the identity of the other party.
At the same time, He Zhi also understood why this "Dragon God Society" could call for wind and rain in Qiyang City with only two or three kittens in front of him and become the overlord of the underworld.
In this group of little minions of the Dragon God Society, there is actually a big fish like Gu Xiu hidden!
For He Zhi, this can be regarded as a surprise. Don't forget, He Zhi still has the title of assistant secretary on his back!
Normally, He Zhi has to handle at least two cases for the imperial court every year to complete his one-year quota task. Although He Zhi acted as if nothing had happened when he took over this identity from Hu Yimeng, He Zhi was actually quite worried.
What should I do with the two cases this year? Now, this Gu Xiu just happened to bump into He Zhi's hand, which made He Zhi overjoyed.
According to Hu Yimeng, the scope of their assistant director's authority is quite broad. As long as it is in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the things that can be close to the monks, their assistant secretary can intervene.
Therefore, when that Gu cultivator really revealed his true identity and made a move against He Zhi, He Zhi was overjoyed. With He Zhi's current cultivation, he was not afraid of that Gu cultivation at all!
Don't look at the Gu worms raised by Gu Xiu when they fly out, they are violent, and their colors can scare ordinary people to tremble. But these Gu worms did not metamorphose in essence. In He Zhi's eyes, he could clearly see that these Gu insects were just ordinary poisonous insects, and the most powerful of them were nothing more than giving birth to a little spirituality and being able to obey some simple commands from Gu Xiu.
This level of Gu cultivation, in the words of Ding Lu's Qingyuan Sect, is "not in the stream".
If it is against ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, ordinary people, this kind of Gu cultivation is indeed extremely terrifying. It can be said that there is no solution at all.
Even if the cultivation of this Gu cultivator itself is very weak, as long as he collects Gu worms to a certain level and uses secret methods to complete the transformation from ordinary people to Gu cultivators, then his strength will increase explosively.
Not to mention an ordinary innate martial artist, even if it is a martial artist who has been reborn in the realm, once he encounters Gu cultivation, as long as the realm has not reached the consummation of rebirth, it is a dead end.
However, Gu Xiu also has a problem, that is, bullying those who are weaker than them, it can almost be said that they are holding the handle, but once they encounter someone stronger than them, they are helpless.
For example, the Gu cultivator He Zhi encountered today should be almost equivalent to a cultivator in the pseudo-Dao realm. It's just that he is a Gu cultivator, so his own cultivation is only in the innate realm. For a Gu cultivator, his own cultivation didn't matter at all. What really matters is the Gu worms he raises.
The Gu worm raised by this Gu cultivator had already given birth to spirituality. This is already equivalent to the "pseudo-entry path" of ordinary monks. Once the Gu worm advances again and becomes a "Psychic Gu", then it will merge with the Gu Cultivator itself, making the Gu Cultivator's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds in an instant. According to the different qualities and spirituality of Gu worms, Gu Xiu's cultivation will directly jump to the realm of rebirth and even entering the Dao.
And this pseudo-Dao realm Gu cultivator, when dealing with Han Ergongzi, or, for example, a martial artist like the Flying Yaksha who was out of the realm of rebirth, the other party had almost no chance in their hands.
From the very beginning, his Gu worm would firmly grasp the opponent's movements, and before he knew it, he had already subdued the opponent.
However, when this Gu cultivator touched He Zhi, his Gu worm was useless. Not even to mention He Zhi, even if this Gu Xiu met any of the three of Ying Wu, Luo Sanlang or Hu Feng, he didn't have any chance of winning.
Because in front of a monk of this level, his Gu worm couldn't get close to the other party's body at all!
Just like now, when this Gu cultivator released a sky full of Gu worms and flew towards He Zhi and Han Ergongzi, Han Ergongzi's whole face was already so frightened that his whole face turned white. And He Zhi next to him didn't even bother to move.
He Zhi didn't even need to run any mental methods, he only needed to release his mana and stir up the surrounding heaven and earth vitality, which was enough to make those Gu worms unbearable.
You must know that a martial artist in the Innate Realm can already form a layer of body protection qi about an inch thick on his side. The Martial Artist of the Rebirth Realm is even more able to put the protective body qi out to about five inches.
How to wisdom this kind of monk who has entered the Tao and cultivates no longer needs any body protection qi. His own mana and divine thoughts can communicate with the vitality of heaven and earth, with himself as the center, within a radius of three feet, it can be regarded as He Zhi's "domain"!
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in this area, unless it is disturbed by stronger monks, is completely controlled by He Zhi.
However, just when He Zhi had already released the True Yuan and was about to give that Gu cultivator a hard time.
He was surprised to see that the Gu worm released by the Gu Xiu actually did not fly towards him first, but ran to the side first, killing all the dozen or so subordinates that the Gu Xiu had just brought.
After that, the Gu cultivator turned around and slowly confronted He Zhi and the pale-faced Second Prince Han again.
"Hehe, the people who got in the way are dead. Now it's finally quiet. Do you say, Second Master Han?" That Gu Xiu was still facing Second Master Han, sneering gloomily, but he seemed to treat He Zhi on the side as air.
He Zhi looked at the Gu cultivator, also unmoved. And Han Ergongzi glanced at He Zhi, and at this time he mustered up a little courage.
"You...... What do you want?" Second Master Han forced his composure and asked loudly to that Gu Xiu, "Are you going to kill me?"
To be honest, when Han Ergongzi spoke, his voice trembled, clearly exposing his essence of being strong on the outside and doing things in the middle. However, He Zhi did not look down on this second son of Han because of this.
If the two of them thought about it from their other perspectives, He Zhi felt that if he suddenly saw such a thing on the earth in his previous life, I am afraid that his current performance would not be much better than that of Han Er Gongzi.
"Hehe, Second Master Han, if I want to kill you, why should I come to talk to you again?, isn't it a waste of words?" The feminine Gu Xiu sneered, "Second Master Han, you must have seen it just now. In this world, there are many existences that you don't expect. I, for example, am one of them. I heard, Second Prince Han, you want to go to sea to seek immortality? So, if you don't dislike Han Ergongzi, you might as well go with you and me, how about it?"
"What, you also want to go to sea to seek immortals?" Second Master Han glanced at the man in disbelief.
The Gu worm that flew out of that person's body just now, Han Ergongzi could see it clearly. He felt that the person in front of him was not even a human being, he could only be regarded as a monster, how could he still ask for immortals? If he took him to the house of other people's immortals, wouldn't he be destroyed by other people's immortals as monsters?
"Hehehe! It seems that you only know one of them, but you don't know the other! This is to ascend to the immortal gate and seek immortal fate, pay attention to the word 'fate', and the immortal family has no class. Even if I don't practice the Immortal Family Exercises now, so what? If I can get into the Immortal Gate, I will be able to change my cultivation in the future. The feminine Gu Xiu said to Han Ergongzi with a smile.
"Hmph, can you really enter the Immortal Gate? Besides, if you ask me to take you there, I'll take you there? Wouldn't I, Han Xueyu, be too faceless?" Although Han Ergongzi was scared enough by the other party, he didn't mean to give in.
"Hehe, that's not up to you. Yin Rou Gu Xiu seemed to know that Second Master Han would say this, so he immediately let out a long laugh and raised his hand at Second Master Han.
Suddenly, three Gu worms flew out of Yin Rou Gu Xiu's hands, divided into three directions, and flew towards Han Ergongzi.
Each of the three Gu worms was only the size of a mosquito, and after they were thrown out, ordinary people couldn't even see it. So if it weren't for He Zhi being next to him, maybe in the eyes of Second Prince Han, he just saw Yin Rou Gu Xiu's hand for a moment, and then he didn't know what happened until he fell into the other party's trick.
However, since He Zhi was next to him now, how could he let Gu Xiu's insects get close to Han Xueyu's side? Before the three Gu insects flew closer, He Zhi had already stirred up his vitality and directly stirred the three Gu insects into powder.
"Huh?" After the three little insects were all dead, that Gu Xiu turned his head for the first time and looked at He Zhi squarely.
"I underestimated you. You can kill my Gu worms, you have a bit of meaning. Could it be that you are also a fellow traveler?" the Gu Xiu smiled softly and asked He Zhi.
"Hehe, I'm not a fellow traveler with you. He Zhi also smiled and shook his head.
Second Prince Han looked at He Zhi on the left, and then at the feminine Gu Xiu, the sweat on his face was almost uninterrupted. He didn't even dare to reach out to wipe his sweat, so he stared at the two of them with round eyes. As if he was afraid that he would be killed in the blink of an eye.
Of course, at this time, Han Ergongzi also saw that the Dragon God Society and He Zhi were definitely not all the way.
"Oh, since you're not a fellow traveler, then I have to ask you to be a dead man!" Yin Rou Gu Xiu still smiled suspiciously. The moment the words fell, the Gu Xiu abruptly withdrew backwards and tugged at the clothes on his chest hard.
A sound of cloth cracking sounded, and the brocade clothes on the feminine Gu Xiu's body were torn to pieces. At the same time as the brocade clothes were shattered, the whole person of the Yin Soft Gu Xiu turned into countless mosquitoes and poisonous Gu, surging like a whirlwind.
And the original body of the Yin Soft Gu Cultivator just turned into a human skin and slid to the ground.
When He Zhi saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
He Zhi had already seen that this Gu cultivator had actually given up his body and chose to integrate his divine thoughts into the Gu worms, trying to use this method to enhance his control over the Gu worms and increase the power of his own Gu worms.
Although he could indeed increase his strength for a while by doing this, according to Ding Lu, this Gu cultivator's cultivation had already taken the wrong path! Moreover, the mistake had already been made so deeply that even if he entered the Immortal Gate and heard the Great Dao, he could not reverse it.
