Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 618 617. Ink and Gu

"..."

"..."

God, it's getting dark.

There was a long silence in the underground cave.

It wasn't until the mouth of the two corpses suddenly began to deform unnaturally, as if something was arching outwards, that Shou Jing opened his mouth and said:
"scared you?"

"..."

Li Shimin was speechless at first... Then he smiled wryly.

"I'm...unexpectedly speechless."

"This is just my own opinion, you don't have to think so much."

Shoujing shook his head:
"I said, I am Li Shouchu, but I am not Li Shouchu either. But I will not hurt anything that Li Shouchu loves. So...you can pretend that I didn't say what I just said, because when the truth in the Golden Light Curse appeared Setsu... I think you don't understand, but your sister should understand. I understand that the Taoist didn't want to kill all the practitioners from the beginning, but hoped that this land would return to the track he was familiar with... Unfortunately, Naive."

"..."

"But no matter what, his heart is always soft. So you don't have to be afraid, just treat me as a lunatic... Well, after chatting so much, come and see the real thing."

Shou Jing took the initiative to end this topic, and then, those two stiff mouths finally stretched to the limit, and a blood-stained, black thing emerged from it.

Supported by a slowly rising stone platform made of soil, he came to Shoujing.

Li Shimin got up instinctively and walked over...but he couldn't see clearly because it was dark.

At this moment, Shou Jing muttered:
"It would be great if Ta Da was here..."

As he spoke, he took out a fire pocket from his pocket, and after a few breaths, the faint flame lit up.

With the help of that faint light, finally, Li Shimin could see clearly.

Yes……

"fish?"

With eyes full of surprise, he looked at the two fish-shaped wood carvings on the stone platform made of unknown materials, about two fingers wide and a palm long, and asked Shou Jing.

"Well, it's fish."

Shoujing nodded:
"I just don't know what kind of fish it is... These two people have this thing in their bodies. But it's not in the stomach, but in the gap between the viscera... Well, let me see."

Suddenly, Shou Jing lowered her head, and held the fire bag close to the two people's chests.

The two corpses died very quickly. One had his throat slit, and the other had his left chest pierced.

At the same time, every corpse is covered with scars, showing that it has experienced countless battles when it was alive.

Li Shimin didn't know what Shoujing was checking, but he waited patiently.

After Shoujing checked the first person, he started to check the second one.

then……

"Look here."

He brought the fire fold close to the joint between the ribs and the belly of a corpse.

Li Shimin took a closer look and found that it was... an irregular circular scar.

From Shou Jing's point of view, it is a bit like the older generation of later generations who suffered from the second disease when they were young, and burned their arms or somewhere with cigarette scars.

Not big, just the size of a smoke scar.

"……what is this?"

"I found this fish in their position, and then this person has it, and that person has it."

"..."

Li Shimin looked at this one, then walked to the other side, looked at it with the help of the firelight stretched out by Shoujing, and doubts emerged:
"This fish...isn't so small."

"...Have you been raised?"

"..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's mouth twitched.

Do you think this is a real fish?

Still raised?

But Shoujing didn't say much, but controlled the two muddy hands, picked up a fish and looked at it carefully, and suddenly broke it into pieces.

Li Shimin didn't expect that he would suddenly "pain the killer", and he didn't react.

But when he subconsciously looked, he saw... there seemed to be something in the fish.

"what is this?"

He subconsciously wanted to touch it with his hands.

"do not move."

Shou Jing hurriedly stopped him, and at the same time stretched out his dagger, and poked the thing that fell out of the fish.

That thing seems to be a bug, and it looks like some kind of strange earthworm.

With a dagger poked, the body actually squirmed for a while, and then suddenly curled up together.

Under the light of the fire, the body of the strange thing hugged into a "ball" slowly changed color, becoming more and more red... Finally, it turned into something that looked like a elixir.

"!!"

When Shou Jing was still wondering what this thing was, he heard Li Shimin whisper:
"Insect Dan!?"

"……What the hell?"

Shou Jing's eyes are full of doubts:
"You know this thing?"

"Naturally! A kind of Gu that was famous all over the world when the ghost Gu mother was still alive!"

"Uh……"

Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Shou Jing thought for a while and asked:

"Just the... the one who was... killed by the eunuch Zhang Xiang? The one who conspired with Yang Xuangan to be the number one under heaven?"

"That's right! It's her! This worm pill is her method. Before she was defeated by Yang Xuangan and accepted as the right and left, she was originally the leader of Gu Lingjiao, and the most famous thing is that she can make ordinary people become cultivators. Those who give birth to qi!... You know, not to mention ordinary people, for some martial arts people who may not be able to break the barrier of life and death in their lifetime, this kind of temptation...is really too great. So in a few years , Gu Lingjiao relied on this kind of worm pill, as long as you take it, you can feel the method of qi sense cultivation, and won a large number of good players. At that time..."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly paused...

Only then said:
"My sister has also studied this thing, so I have seen it. At that time, she brought back a few of these things. This thing is indeed a Gu, but it looked like this before taking it. I don't know what it will become if I take it. , but I know... Once this worm pill is taken, once every six months, I will pay tribute to the ghost mother. Died in Huangquan in great pain... Could it be possible that Sun Hua has something to do with her...?"

"Then what is this fish?"

Shou Jing pointed at another fish, his eyes full of doubt and puzzlement.

But now Li Shimin was also dumbfounded.

After thinking for a while, he boldly picked up a piece of debris and leaned closer to the fire fold to have a look.

You can vaguely see some strange lines on it.

This pattern... looks familiar.

After thinking about it, he picked up a few more fragments and began to examine them one by one.

Finally, among the fragments, I found a needle as thin as a cow's hair...

The needle is not long, about half the size of a fingernail.

But I don't know what to use.

Li Shimin picked up the largest piece again, and after carefully observing the lines on it for a while, he reached out and took away the fire fold of Shoujing, and put the piece on the fire to roast.

In less than twenty breaths, the piece of wood actually began to emit smoke and slowly burned.

"……wooden?"

Shou Jing became more and more curious.

But Li Shimin seemed to be sure of something, and his voice became a little dignified:

"To be precise... it belongs to the Mo family."

"..."

The corner of Shou Jing's mouth twitched...

Recalling the tiger in my memory...

isn't it?
Want to fight them again?
