After Xiao Cai said this, Xu Yan also spread his own perception as well, but the final result did not change in the slightest, because the flying speed of this insect was almost faster than the speed of his sword.

The flying insect smoothly approached Gu Xueqing's snow-white neck, and without hesitation, he opened his mouth directly and took a bite, leaving only a small red dot like after being bitten by a mosquito coil, but Xu Yan saw that after it bit out, its whole body began to dry up quickly, and finally like those reptiles that were stabbed to death by Xu Yan before, it turned into a cloud of green smoke and disappeared.

Xu Yan noticed this scene, and couldn't help but be furious in his heart.

At this moment, he finally understood that the tens of thousands of reptiles before were still just a trick used by the woman, and their purpose was to cover the last insect and successfully flew to Gu Xueqing's body.

"No wonder those bugs don't have any breath of life. Xu Yan's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water, and said in a cold voice.

"Why?"

"Because after the strings of that guqin were broken, we were all invisibly caught by the sound of the piano and the illusion created by it, what a cunning woman. ”

When Xiao Cai heard this explanation, she suddenly realized, and after she pondered for a while, she sighed and said, "You human cultivators are really weird, but what should you do next, your senior sister was bitten by that bug, will something happen to her?"

Xu Yan heard Xiaocai's doubtful voice and couldn't help but sigh softly.

He walked up to Gu Xueqing's side, held one of her white and soft jade hands, first checked her pulse, and found that there was nothing abnormal, but Xu Yan didn't know much about Gu poison, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he could only invade his perception into the other party's body to check it.

However, before checking, Xu Yan couldn't help but silently chant in his heart, "Senior Sister Gu, for your good, I can only offend", and the reason why he said this was because he would inevitably look at the other party's body without reservation.

About half an hour later, Xu Yan used his perception to check Gu Xueqing's body almost inside and out, but he still didn't find anything abnormal, which couldn't help but make his face a little ugly.

"It shouldn't be, could it be that it's just an ordinary worm, not some kind of Gu worm?" Xu Yan muttered, his eyes staring directly at Gu Xueqing, who was still glazed in front of him, but he fell into deep thought.

After hearing this, Xiaocai pondered for a moment before replying: "That woman worked hard to successfully deliver this worm to her, not just to scare you, did you forget to check something?"

Xu Yan shook his head and replied: "It is said that the resident place of Gu worms is in the blood and meridians in the human body, and I should not have missed it. ”

Xiaocai replied, "Then maybe it will be stored in other places in her body, such as internal organs and the like?"

Xu Yan's face turned dark after hearing this, and he said uncertainly: "No, what kind of Gu worm is so perverted that it will drill into other people's internal organs?"

Xiaocai replied in a tone: "I don't know about this, I'm just putting forward a hypothesis, why don't you check it again?"

If it weren't really a last resort, to be honest, Xu Yan didn't want to do this, after all, using perception to probe other people's bodies, in fact, it made no difference to strip the other party naked for examination, and even this was much more detailed than just looking at the other party's body, which was a very taboo thing, but in order to ensure the safety of the other party, he had no other choice.

Therefore, after Xu Yan took a deep breath, he could only focus his perception on the other party's body again, but this time, he didn't look at it indiscriminately, just looked at the five internal organs in her body that he had ignored before.

After a cup of tea.

Among the five internal organs, Xu Yan has already checked the four internal organs, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, but he still found nothing abnormal, as for the only remaining heart, which is the foundation of everyone's person, he doesn't think that there will be anything that can make people live well after entering it.

You know, in order to be able to make his sword shake and recognize the Lord, he just let the tip of the sword touch a little bit of the heart, and took out a drop of blood in it, and his whole person was weak for a whole day.

Xu Yan suddenly regretted a little at this moment, why did he listen to Xiaocai's advice. The other party is not even a human being now, this bad idea is mentioned, and he still believes it to be true, which can't help but make him feel that his reputation has been ruined in a lifetime.

Xiaocai felt that Xu Yan was a little stunned, so she quickly asked curiously, "How is it, but what abnormalities have you found?"

Xu Yan tried to restrain his temper and replied bluntly: "Except for the heart that hasn't been checked, everything else is normal. ”

"Then you hurry up and check, why are you still stunned, anyway, there is only this last position left, if there is no abnormality, then you can be completely relieved." ”

Although Xiaocai's suggestion is not very reliable most of the time, this sentence is not wrong.

Xu Yan sighed a little helplessly, and then focused all his attention on Gu Xueqing's heart, but after a while, his face couldn't help but sink instantly.

Sensing the abnormality on Xu Yan's face, Xiaocai then asked, "What's wrong, is it ......?"

Xu Yan nodded, and replied with a wry smile: "I was really told by your crow's mouth, that worm actually stored in her heart, but it looks only the size of a grain of rice now, if you are careless, you really can't find its existence." ”

"Look, I'll just say it's possible to hide in the guts, and you look unbelievable, it's really ......"

"Little junior brother!"

Suddenly, in Xu Yan's ears, an incomparably familiar voice sounded, which couldn't help but make Xu Yan's nerves tense instantly, he didn't hesitate, when he withdrew his perception from the other party's body, and then just looked at Gu Xueqing in front of him with a simple gaze, but then he found that compared to the embarrassment he had at this moment, the other party could simply be described as self-ashamed, because her face was already red like a ripe red heart.

Xu Yan scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said in a weak tone: "Senior Sister Gu...... You've woken up, the ...... You were bitten by a Gu worm just now, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I can only ......"

Seeing that Xu Yan couldn't even say anything at the moment, Gu Xueqing was even more shy after resuming her action, in fact, only she knew that although her body was controlled, her consciousness was actually completely awake, so she saw what Xu Yan had done to her before.

Gu Xueqing said in a shy tone: "I know, junior brother doesn't have to feel anything. ”

After Xu Yan heard this, he nodded, and then he restrained his excess emotions, and said in a solemn tone: "By the way, you have been planted with Gu poison in your body now, hurry up and take a poison avoidance pill to try it first, and see if you can force it out of your body." ”

After Gu Xueqing heard Xu Yan's proposal, her heart was also gradually relieved, making her face flush like a sunset gradually return to her previous normal complexion, and then, she took out a poison avoidance pill from her storage bag and took it, but after a long time passed, the Gu worm stored in her heart was not affected by the poison avoidance pill at all.

In the end, Gu Xueqing could only shake her head gently at Xu Yan, who had a solemn face.

Xu Yan's face was a little ugly when he got this reply, he didn't expect this Gu poison, the poison avoidance pill had no effect on it.

Xu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "From this point of view, the anti-poison pill I gave to that store before should also be useless." ”

Gu Xueqing didn't answer this, but her face was gloomy.

However, what Xu Yan didn't know was that it was not that the poison-avoiding pill had no effect, but that the medicinal properties of the poison-avoiding pill could not enter the heart, because it could only follow the person's meridians and flow up and down the whole body, which was why the Gu worms stored in the meridians of the middle-aged shopkeeper had already been poisoned by the poison-avoiding pill.

Xu Yan sighed, and then continued: "It seems that we still have to stay in Jingning Town for a few days, the Gu poison in Senior Sister Gu's body is incomprehensible, and sooner or later it will be a hidden danger, by the way, what discomfort do you feel now?"

Gu Xueqing could also clearly feel that the Gu worm stored in his heart, but it had always been quiet, and it didn't have any actual feelings, but in terms of feelings, no matter who knew that he had been poisoned, he should feel very bad.

Gu Xueqing carefully checked her body and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal before she replied: "I don't feel any discomfort at this time. ”

Xu Yan nodded at this, his heart relaxed a lot, and said: "It's okay, then let's go find a place to shelter from the rain for the night, and after dawn, we will go to find the woman's nest, as long as we find her, I don't believe that she dares to give a way to get rid of Gu worms." ”

Gu Xueqing naturally had no objection to this, and hummed softly.

Half an hour later.

Xu Yan and the others braved the rain to walk out of the bamboo forest, and with the help of the Night Pearl, they walked along the edge of the stream for about ten miles, and finally found a place to shelter from the rain temporarily.

This is also a bamboo house, but compared to the bamboo house where the woman played the piano, this bamboo house is much simpler and smaller, and it looks like a house built here by the people of the market, and it seems that the owner of this bamboo forest should have built it here for his rest when he came to work in the mountains.

Xu Yan opened the gently hidden fence door, and walked in first, and found that it was very dry inside, and he couldn't help but be happy, in addition, there was a pile of flammable dry firewood and straw, plus two wooden piers, and then there was nothing.

For cultivators, sleeping in the open is commonplace, but now it is a very good condition to have such a place to shelter from the rain.

In the end, Xu Yan first sorted out a vacant space inside, lit a fire, and then next to the fire, he took out a straw mat from the storage bag and spread it, and then took the initiative to go out of the house and let Gu Xueqing change the wet clothes on his body inside, and after the other party solved these problems and sat cross-legged on the mat to rest, he returned to the house and picked a wooden pier, sat by the fire and began to heat up the two plum vegetable and meat pies bought from the markets along the way today.

I have to say that these baked cakes with fillings in the market taste more than ten times better than the kind of baked cakes that have nothing in the Lotus Sect, especially in this kind of situation where they have been on the mountain road for most of the day and have a fight.

Xu Yan handed over a hot baked cake to Gu Xueqing, who was resting on the mat, and at the same time, he didn't forget to take out some dried meat and sauce marinated by the cardinal himself and give it to her as a side dish.

Gu Xueqing was no longer surprised by this, after all, for more than a month, she had long known that Xu Yan's storage bag had extremely rich types of food, although those were dry foods that could be stored for a long time, or pickles similar to salted duck eggs, but I have to say that each of them tasted quite delicious.

After Gu Xueqing took the food handed over by Xu Yan, she thanked her, and then took a small bite to eat them at all, and then she felt more comfortable in her body. Although she was originally a cultivator, as a sword cultivator, she was still not very strong in terms of physique before reaching the seventh floor, so after she stood in the bamboo forest and drenched in a torrential rain before, even if she would not catch the wind chill because of it, the rain and the sudden drop in temperature would make her feel cold all over.

After roasting the fire for almost two quarters of an hour, Xu Yan smiled at Gu Xueqing and said, "Senior Sister Gu, it's been hard to travel all day today, you can lie down and rest tonight, don't meditate and practice, I'll be responsible for keeping vigil for you." ”

After Gu Xueqing heard this, she didn't have the slightest superfluous thoughts, and immediately nodded, she knew Xu Yan's character very well since she got along during this time, and she didn't worry about what misconduct he would do to her. However, before falling asleep, she was still a little worried and asked, "Little junior brother, is the injury on your chest better?"

With the help of the long Bible, Xu Yan's injuries on the surface were almost healed, so he nodded with a smile and said to her, "After taking the pill, there is no big problem. ”

When Gu Xueqing got this reply, she also smiled lightly, and then said, "That's good, then I'll bother the little junior brother to help keep vigil." ”

Xu Yan nodded, and said nothing more.

......

The night is like ink, but it is not calm, but compared to the endless early autumn wind and rain outside, the constant sound of salsa in the bamboo forest, the bamboo house is always much quieter.

Xu Yan sat next to the fire and did not choose to meditate and practice, firstly to avoid the flames being extinguished halfway, and partly because Gu Xueqing beside him was already asleep. Since he said that he wanted to help keep vigil, it was naturally not good to be distracted by this, and the most important thing was that the stunning woman who escaped before was always a hidden danger for the two of them, and he couldn't guarantee that the other party would take advantage of the night to sneak over and kill them a return gun, and in order to avoid this from happening, Xu Yan even asked Xiaocai to help keep a vigil together, after all, in terms of perception of danger, Xiaocai is much better than him.

However, it turned out that Xu Yan was a little too cautious in this matter, because when the night passed, and when the time was approaching and the sky was about to light, there were no accidents.

After accompanying him all night, Xiao Cai, who also didn't practice, suddenly asked him, "Xu Yan, do you really want to go to that woman to get the antidote after dawn?"

Xu Yan replied in an affirmative tone: "Of course, otherwise, after a long time, if Senior Sister Gu has an accident, what if something happens?"

After hearing this, Xiaocai groaned for a while, and then said a little twisted: "Actually...... Actually, I have a way to remove the Gu poison on her body, but it may consume a lot of my cultivation......"

When Xu Yan heard this, he was silent, but in the end, he still smiled and said to Xiaocai: "I know that you deliberately said this method in order to keep me from risking my life, but this matter was caused by my negligence that caused her to be poisoned, how can I implicate you and self-destruct your cultivation?" Don't worry, I'll be fine, the woman's own strength is not very strong, it's just that the guqin in her hand is a little weird, and now, her seven strings of the guqin have been cut off by her, and only the three strings left can never threaten me anymore. ”

When Xiaocai heard him say this, she was still a little worried and said, "But, have you ever thought about what she will do if she has any helpers, then what will you do then......

Xu Yan smiled dumbly and replied: "You are stupid, I can't beat it, can't I still run?"

Xiaocai was a little speechless when she heard that he could also say such scoundrel words, and before she could say anything, Gu Xueqing, who was sleeping on the side, suddenly appeared a lot of movement.

After Xu Yan heard the voice, when he turned his gaze to the latter, he found that Gu Xueqing had not woken up, but was twisting his body as if he had had some nightmare. So, Xu Yan could only leave the side of the fire and come to her side to see if it was necessary for him to wake her up.

However, when he really approached Gu Xueqing's side, he was stunned to find that the latter's face was covered with sweat at the moment, and his face was still red.

When Xu Yan saw this, he immediately stretched out his hand on her forehead to measure her temperature, and found that it was really hot, which was not at the same level as the temperature of a normal person. There was no way, in this case, he could only wake her up first and let her go and explore her body to see if there was anything wrong, so as to prescribe the right medicine.

Xu Yan held a hand on her cheek to prevent her from shaking her head, and then shouted in his mouth: "Senior Sister Gu, wake up, Senior Sister Gu ......"

After screaming more than a dozen times, Gu Xueqing, who seemed to have fallen into a huge terror, finally woke up, but when she opened her eyes, Xu Yan found that her eyes had become extremely scarlet, as if she had turned into a pair of bloody eyes after waking up.

Gu Xueqing opened her blood-colored eyes and looked straight at Xu Yan above her head, just looked at it for almost three breaths, and then she grabbed Xu Yan's hand that was holding her cheek, and pulled it hard, pulling him in front of her.

Gu Xueqing looked at Xu Yan, who was close at hand, and without any hesitation, she kissed his lips directly.
