Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 144 Bloodthirsty Gu Seed
"They're all the living dead?" Wu Xu said in shock, "It shouldn't be. I saw Liu Xuxing yesterday. Although he didn't say anything, his expression doesn't look like a walking dead."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Qianhu, I can't see it wrong. I'll tell you, the judge can see people's crimes."

Wu Xu nodded and said, "I already knew about this."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "This guy has no sin karma, and none of their family has sin karma! They are not overbearing cultivators, they are not protected by overbearing, they are not my fellow disciples, and they don't have high cultivation levels. They died for a while, and their sin karma Dissipated in the earth, so invisible!"

"How did you become a living dead?" Wu Xu rubbed his forehead and said, "I've been restless recently. Could it be that there are strange people in the capital?"

Xu Zhiqiong remembered what Chang Decai said, he was driven away by bugs.

"Qianhu, this matter should be related to Gu art!"

"Gu technique?" Wu Xu's eyebrows trembled, "Liang Yuming! Could it be him again!"

"How do you know it's him?"

Wu Xu said: "Back then you found more than a dozen women trapped in Yingge Yuan, Wang Zhennan rescued them, but in fact there are more than [-] women whose whereabouts are unknown, they should be used by Liang Yuming to refine Gu!"

"It shouldn't be!" Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I heard from Wang Zhennan that when the lost girl was released back then, all the relatives came to claim it. I haven't heard of anyone who couldn't claim it!"

Wu Xu said: "You don't know that some women have no family affairs at all, especially those who are sold to dusty lands. Even if they have family members, they have cut off contact with each other. No one will come to claim them. Liang Yuming must have specially collected some family affairs. women, hide them, and keep them as a rear hand."

"If this matter is really what Liang Yuming did, what does he want to do by reaching out to the Ministry of War?"

Wu Xu rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and said two words: "Conspiracy!"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded. According to his inference, the result was the same: "Since there is suspicion of treason, let Commander Zhong know the matter, ransack Liu Xuxing's home, and bring him out to torture him. He will definitely be able to find out. A clue!"

"Not right," Wu Xu thought for a while, shaking his head again and again, "If this matter is really what Liang Yuming did, but the royal family is involved, and there is no real evidence, Zhong Shen can't move Liang Yuming, and killing Liu Xuxing will not help. Besides, this Liu Xuxing Can Liang Yuming really be confessed? Will he still be able to speak then?"

Xu Zhiqiong thought of Fan Baocai, who had lost the ability to speak when he was dying.

The living can't even speak, let alone the living dead.

Wu Xu said: "Is the "Gu Hua Juan" I gave you still there? Go and check first, whether Liu Xuxing's family has really been poisoned by Gu."

Xu Zhiqiong returned to Yilangyuan that night, and first took out the second volume of "Hua Gu Volume".

The Gu technique that can control the dead is definitely not common. The second volume introduces all advanced Gu worms, so Xu Zhiqiong starts from the second volume first.

As expected, just checked two pages, Xu Zhiqiong saw the king of ten thousand Gu - Golden Silkworm.

The golden silkworm can control the dead, and the controlled person likes to eat raw meat.

Did Liu Xuxing's family win the golden silkworm?

Golden silkworm should be a very precious Gu species, is it suitable for such a large area?

Xu Zhiqiong turned two pages back, and Jinxin Snake also had a similar nature.

Turning back, the nature of grass maggots is similar...

Xu Zhiqiong went through the second volume and the first volume, and found that there are more than forty kinds of Gu insects with similar properties.

I found more than forty kinds, which means I didn't find any of them.

Xu Zhiqiong put away the "Gu Scroll", dragged Chang Decai out, and asked sharply, "Tell me, what happened in Liu Xuxing's outer house?"

Chang Decai lowered his head and said, "Master, our family has said everything that can be said."

"If you can't say it, you have to tell me that you were also Daxuan's son, and this matter is related to Daxuan's survival."

Chang Decai bit his lip and said, "A few bugs, it won't happen..."

"What do you mean it won't happen? Liu Xuxing is a member of the Ministry of War. Someone put a Gu on the people of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is about to fall into the hands of the Gu Sect. Why don't you say it's impossible?"

"It really is a Gu technique," Chang Decai sighed, "Master, how do you know about this?"

"I am the judge, I am the bearer of the lantern. It is about the lives and deaths of thousands of people. How can I not investigate?"

"Okay, I said."

Chang Decai gritted his teeth and told Xu Zhiqiong what happened.

Five years ago, Chang Decai fell in love with the house of Lan Wuqi, a cosmetics merchant. The mansion is taken over.

And as Chang Decai said, having the house occupied by the soul of longevity is not necessarily a bad thing. Lan Wuqi's family didn't realize the existence of Chang Decai at all, and Chang Decai has been the soul of longevity for more than a hundred years, so his knowledge is naturally better than ordinary people much.

He secretly gave Lan Wuqi some ideas, let Lan Wuqi choose a good place in the west of the city, and opened a new shop. The business is booming day by day, and the family is getting richer.

Unexpectedly, when the family situation improved, Luo Luan also came.

The wife of Liu Xuxing, a doctor in the Ministry of War, often asked people to come to the shop to buy rouge. After coming and going, Liu Xuxing fell in love with this shop and Lan Wuqi's daughter, Lan Yan, and wanted to seize the family property.

Lan Wuqi refused, Liu Xuxing sent someone to beat him half to death, the shop was also sealed off, and the family had no way of life, so Chang Decai secretly made a decision for them.

"Our family has stayed in the palace, and we have heard a lot about such things. If you obey, you must obey, or if you don't obey, you must obey, otherwise it will be a dead end for their family!"

Chang Decai's choice this time is actually right. Although the family business has been taken over, Lan Wuqi's family can at least live in peace. After Liu Xuxing moved into the house, he was also influenced by Chang Decai, and he didn't scrape too hard. Let the Lan family hide some property. Lan Wuqi has two sons who will start their own families in the future. With this family property, they can also make a living elsewhere.

I thought life would just go on like this, but one day Liu Xuxing came back, followed by a group of flies.

Flies are everywhere, who cares?

Unexpectedly, after only one night, the lives of Lan Wuqi's family were all taken away by these flies.

"Those flies are really scary. They can penetrate wherever there are holes in the body. When they get in, they will suck people's souls. No one in the whole family will be spared. Our family wants to fight them, but they are in groups, and they can't kill them at all. do,

Our family's soul was also injured. In desperation, we can only abandon their family and find another house. Our family is sorry for them, so we don't have the face to speak ill of them behind their backs! "

Chang Decai's temperament is really not easy to judge, it seems that he is quite affectionate.

Xu Zhiqiong got a key piece of information from his words, this Gu worm is a fly.

He re-opened the "Hua Gu Volume", and went through it from beginning to end, but he didn't find any fly Gu.

Although grass silk maggots are called maggots, they are not real maggots, but a type of worm similar to maggots.

Could it be that this kind of Gu worm is so advanced that it doesn't even know the divination?

At dawn the next day, Xu Zhiqiong found Wu Xu and told him about it.

If you can't even be sure whether it is a Gu technique, this matter cannot be easily related to Liang Yuming.

After careful consideration, Wu Xu decided to go to Taibo to check.

Xu Zhiqiong dissuaded him: "Qianhu, I'll just go for this matter, you can't go, if you go, Tai Bu must know that something serious happened, if I go, it's just to ask Tai Bu for advice on how to resolve the Gu art, As long as you speak carefully, he may not be suspicious."

Wu Xu agreed, and Xu Zhiqiong went to the Onmyoji Department that day.

After seeing Tai Bu, Xu Zhiqiong directly asked for advice: "The younger generation recently studied the method of cracking the Gu art, and learned from Qu Dengshou that there is a kind of Gu insect like a fly that can suck people's souls, but I am melting Gu scrolls." I haven't seen it here, does Tai Bu know the origin of this kind of Gu insect?"

"A Gu insect like a fly?" Tai Bu smiled, "I have seen hundreds of Gu insects in my life, but I have never seen a fly. I think Qu Jinshan has heard the misinformation."

Haven't you seen Taibo before?

Xu Zhiqiong wanted to ask again, but Tai Butui said that he was busy and served tea to see off the guests.

Has this old guy really never seen it before, or is he hiding something on purpose?
Is this really not a Gu technique?
Or maybe Tai Bu knows the inside story of this matter and doesn't want to disclose it to me?

Xu Zhiqiong left angrily, walked out of the Yin Yang Division, and met Tong Qingqiu not far away.

Tong Qingqiu was followed by a man, wearing a long robe, with a white face and beardless, he looked about thirty years old.

Seeing Xu Zhiqiong, Tong Qingqiu hurriedly introduced him: "Zhiqiong, this is my senior brother, Han Chen, Han Yuzhi, who just arrived in the capital a few days ago."

Brother?

As far as Xu Zhiqiong knew, Big Brother Tong was in his forties.

Moreover, Tong Qingqiu is not too late to start, and he started to practice before he was ten years old. If this person is his senior brother, even if he starts first, he is not young.

But he looks young, which proves that his cultivation is quite high, and he should be above Brother Tong.

Han Chen cupped his fists and saluted, "Brother Xu, I've always heard Junior Brother Tong mentioning you, and I'm finally lucky to see you today."

This man is so humble, Xu Zhiqiong quickly returned the salute, Tong Qingqiu said with a smile: "Don't talk on the street, let's find a place to have a drink or two."

Xu Zhiqiong wasn't in the mood to drink at first, but then he thought, maybe he can ask Brother Tong about the flies.

"When we met for the first time, my younger brother didn't prepare any presents. Let's invite Brother Han to have a glass of wine and express our affection."

Han Chen said with a smile: "Brother Xu doesn't need to spend money, let's have a cup of tea at Junior Brother Tong's house together."

Tong Qingqiu waved his hand and said: "Brother, listen to us, the Yin Yang Division is boring, let's find a wine shop and have a good drink!"

Xu Zhiqiong definitely didn't want to go to the Yin Yang Division, Tai Bu might not want to tell the truth, if Brother Tong told the truth and he heard it, it would cause trouble instead.

The three went to a restaurant, Xu Zhiqiong called the private room, ordered a table of wine and food, the three drank a few glasses, Xu Zhiqiong asked about the business: "Brother Tong, I am studying the method of dissolving Gu today, do you have any questions?" A Gu worm like a fly can suck people's souls?"

Tong Qingqiu scratched his head and said, "Brother, stop asking me, I'm really not good at melting Gu, and I don't know many Gu insects, but can ordinary things like flies be used to refine Gu?"

Han Chen thought for a moment, then asked from the side: "After the fly sucks the soul, can that person still move?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Being active is no different from ordinary people, except that he likes to eat raw meat."

Han Chen asked again: "Apart from eating raw meat, does that person like drinking blood?"

Xu Zhiqiong recalled what happened last night. There was no blood on the cuts of the four fat sheep. Could it be that their family drank it?

"It should be because I like to drink."

Han Chen asked again: "How do those living dead people look like? Do they look like corpses?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "It's not like, he looks good, and his face is very rosy."

Han Chen nodded and said, "In that case, it's the blood sac fly."

Xu Zhiqiong looked surprised: "Is the blood sac fly a kind of very rare Gu insect?"

Han Chen shook his head and said, "It's not unusual, and it's only half a Gu worm."

"Half a Gu worm? How do you say that?"

Han Chen explained: "Gu worms are rare, and it takes a lot of manpower and financial resources to cultivate one. Blood sac flies are not powerful enough, and people in the Gu family generally don't count them as Gu worms."

Xu Zhiqiong asked in amazement, "You can suck away people's souls, but you still say that your combat power is not enough?"

Han Chen shook his head: "A real golden silkworm can give the host a second-rank cultivation at most, and a ten thousand foot grass can give the host a third-rank combat power at most. This kind of combat power, on the battlefield, can rival thousands of troops. horse,
A blood sac fly can't increase the combat power of the host, and it takes a lot of effort to refine it into a Gu worm. If it's just to kill a person, it's really not worth it. "

Xu Zhiqiong said: "If you can wipe out an army with a swarm of flies, wouldn't it be worth it?"

Han Chen still shook his head: "This is difficult. The blood sac fly has no ability to defend against the enemy. It can't stop swords and guns, let alone water and fire. As long as there are practitioners in the army who can use fire, after a fire, thousands of flies will die." There is only a piece of ashes left in the world, so where does the theory of destruction come from?"

Hearing Han Chen's explanation, blood sac flies are indeed not suitable for fighting.

So what's the use of raising this kind of thing?
"Couldn't this thing be raised by the Gu sect? Could it be wild?"

Han Chen shook his head and said: "This thing is by no means wild, it was indeed cultivated by the Gu sect, its purpose is to nourish the blood sac,
Some Gu worms need to suck a lot of human blood, to breed this kind of Gu worms, they can't kill people every day, they need blood sacs,
After the blood sac fly sucks the host's soul, it will take the host to eat raw flesh and blood, producing a large amount of blood every day to feed other bloodthirsty Gu insects. "

Tong Qingqiu sighed: "The evil way of the Gu sect is really cruel."

Xu Zhiqiong was thinking about this bloodthirsty Gu worm.

When he first came to the Yin Yang Division, Tai Bu once speculated that there are two types of Gu worms that are suitable for breeding in April.

One is Xiaorong, which was refined with women's ointment, but Liang Yuming failed to refine it, and was destroyed by Wu Xu.

What is the other one called?
