Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 70 Dawn and Bloodjaw

"Shicai just said a few jokes with Qianhu, Qianhu don't mind," Taibu said with his hands behind his back, looking up to the sky, "Thousands of lives are hanging by a thread, how can I turn a deaf ear to them!"

Tai Buzhi walked away from the crescent moon, and using illusion, he drew a page of "Almanac" in mid-air. There were hundreds of names of Gu insects beside the "Almanac", and Tai Bu began to calculate the time to raise Gu.

"The Gu breeder kidnapped more than a hundred women, and since he used these hundreds of lives to raise Gu, ordinary Gu insects don't need to be counted."

After finishing speaking, Tai Bu waved his hand, more than half of the names of the Gu worms were missing, and the remaining Gu worms were all high-grade.

"As you said, Gu is raised in April. Golden silkworms, weed spiders, cold gnats (sounds the same as salty), black toads, sky scorpions, Xunshou... these Gu insects cannot be raised in April."

The names of the Gu worms were lost by more than half.

Seeing Taibo's focus, Wu Xu whispered to Xu Zhiqiong: "Who is Jinghan?"

Xu Zhiqiong replied honestly: "Beauty."

Wu Xu asked again: "Where is the beauty?"

Tai Bu said angrily: "I concentrate on my calculations, you are so noisy, but you deliberately distract me!"

The two of them stopped chatting, and after more than two hours of fortune-telling, they stroked their white beards and said, "That's the only category."

In the illusion, there are only two names left, one is called Xiaorong, and the other is called Bloodjaw.

"The moth belongs to moths, the most Yin Gu insects. When the eggs hatch, you must take two hundred women's ointment to hatch the worms. After three days, put the worms in the host's body, and they can be melted in two days." Pupa, after breaking out of the cocoon, can take shape,
At that time, the host will have hidden wings on its back, able to fly, and there will be powder on the wings. The powder is highly poisonous, and ordinary people will die if they touch it.
Xiaorong is an inner Dao Gu worm, if it is extremely compatible with the host, it can make the host rise to the fourth rank within half a year. "

Xu Zhiqiong roughly summed up the characteristics of Xiaorong.

First, women are needed to raise Gu.

Second, it can greatly improve combat effectiveness.

Third, it can quickly improve the cultivation of the host.

Judging from these three characteristics, Xiao Rong is very likely to be the Gu insect chosen by Liang Yuming.

Taibu calculated the time to raise Gu: "The timing must be precise to raise the worm. It should start on April [-]th and complete on April [-]st. During these three days, the king's capital is the most cloudy. hatchable."

Wu Xu asked: "Where is the place to raise Gu?"

Tai Bu pondered for a long time: "The man who only robs the people in the capital should be related to the aura of the emperor. The people in the capital are impregnated with the aura of the emperor, and they use their fat to make velvet, which is more in line with the blood of the royal family."

It's really hammered, it's Xiaorong, and all the characteristics of Xiaorong are in line with Liang Yuming's needs.

"As for the place to refine Gu, it must be in a place with a strong royal aura," Tai Bu thought for a long time, "The place with the strongest imperial aura is naturally the palace, but no one dares to refine Gu in the palace, so the location must be around the palace,

There are many government offices around the palace, and one must be cautious when refining Gu. It is the safest place to choose an inaccessible place, not more than five miles away from the palace. "

The vicinity of the palace is the most prosperous place in the capital. Is there any place that is inaccessible within five miles?
Have.

There are three places.

The first place, west of the imperial palace, is Liangfen Garden.

Liangfen Garden was originally a high-class garden. Since the previous dynasty, it has become a place to execute officials, probably because the garden environment is good, and it can be regarded as the last bit of dignity for executed officials.

Because this is the execution ground, the officials who enter have to be decapitated, and it is also called "two-point garden". Naturally, no one would like to go to this kind of place.

Tai Bu first ruled out this option, Liangfen Garden is too murderous, and the Gu worms bred here are infected with murderous aura and have a violent temper, which is very likely to turn against their masters.

The second place, east of the imperial palace - Longjiao Ghost Market.

The Longjiao Market was originally a decent market, and it was named Longjiao because it was close to the imperial palace and next to the emperor's feet.

Daxuan attaches great importance to business, and the market is open day and night. After the morning market, there is an afternoon market, after the afternoon market, there is a night market, and after the night market, there is a ghost market.

The ghost market is between the night market and the morning market, and the business is done at midnight. The biggest feature of the ghost market is that it is mixed with fish and dragons. There are all kinds of people, and there are all kinds of things. There are rare treasures, panaceas, and silks and satins. , There are ancient books and secret books.

There are real things, but there are also a lot of fake things that look like fake ones. When you meet something you like in a ghost market, don’t ask the source, just bargain with the seller.

In the capital, there are ghost markets everywhere, but Longjiao Ghost Market is the most lively, where you can buy good things at very low prices.

The reason is very simple, these good things come from the imperial palace, they are stolen, other places are not easy to ship, Longjiao Ghost Market is the most suitable.

The Longjiao ghost market has flourished for more than ten years. These people have been stealing under the eyes of the emperor for more than ten years. Emperor Zhaoxing didn't notice it.

After finding out, Longyan was furious, and Emperor Zhaoxing ordered the Longjiao Market to be closed, and that street became a deserted street.

Is this street suitable for raising Gu?
Suitable for.

There are dozens of houses along the street that are not inhabited, so it is not difficult to find a place to raise Gu.

This counts as an option.

The third place, north of the imperial palace, is Anshuyuan.

Concubine Anshu was the favorite concubine of Emperor Zhaoxing. Ten years ago, she suddenly went mad and could no longer live in the palace. The emperor placed her in Anshuyuan outside the palace.

Two years later, Concubine An Shu died of illness, and the An Shu Courtyard was also sealed off. There was no one in this huge mansion. Is it suitable for raising Gu?
very suitable!

This yard is very dark, very close to the imperial palace, and has a strong imperial air, so it is the best choice for cultivating velvet.

"If you really want to raise a house, Anshuyuan is the top choice, followed by Longjiao Ghost Market."

This is the inference that Tai Bu can make at present.

Judging from the current situation, it was basically certain that Liang Yuming raised a big moth like Xiaorong.

But out of a rigorous attitude, Tai Bu still briefly introduced another Gu worm, the blood jaw.

"Bloodjaw belongs to gnats and the like, and is also a Gu worm of the most yin, with a combat power up to rank three, but it is an outsider Gu worm."

What is an outsider Gu worm?That is, Gu worms themselves will not improve the cultivation of the host, but will only increase the combat effectiveness of the host, and are generally used to train fighters.

This is not in line with Liang Yuming's needs.

Liang Yuming chose to practice Gu Art, it must be to improve his cultivation, he didn't want to be a warrior, blood-nourishing jaws were of no use to him.

Moreover, Bloodjaw has a characteristic. When it senses a strong danger, it will abandon its owner. This thing is unreliable at all. How could Liang Yuming raise such a Gu worm?
Moreover, there is another characteristic of the blood jaw, which does not need to be cultivated at one time.

With the blood of ten women, a ninth-rank blood jaw can be cultivated, the blood of thirty women can be cultivated into eighth rank, eighty people can be cultivated into seventh rank, one hundred people can be cultivated into sixth rank, and two hundred people can be cultivated into fifth rank. If you want to continue to improve, you need to practice slowly with Gu skills in the future.

So here comes the question, even if Liang Yuming wants to train an excellent fighter, he can use ten women to cultivate a ninth-grade blood jaw, and then use Gu to cultivate it. Why did he kidnap more than a hundred women?
For a higher starting point?
It's not worth it, it's not worth Liang Yuming taking such a big risk.

Tai Bu calculated for a long time: "If the blood jaw is refined, the best time is on April [-]rd. As for this location..."

"Forget it, it's definitely not Bloodjaw," Wu Xu stood up and cupped his hands, "Thank you Taibu for your help."

Tai Bu shook his head: "Why bother to thank me, this is an old man's job, but this matter is of great importance and cannot be known to others."

Xu Zhiqiong understood the meaning of Tai Bu, that is, when you do things, don't involve me.

Wu Xu and Xu Zhiqiong were about to leave, Tai Bu gave another instruction: "There are a few southern border Gu masters who have frequently appeared in the capital recently, and thousands of households should be careful. I collected the method and wrote it into a volume of "Huagu Juan", which is now given to Qianhu to help Qianhu."

Wu Xu accepted the "Hua Gu Scroll" and thanked Tai Bu again.

"Cultivation is not easy, thousands of households must be cautious."

The blue light went out, and Tai Bu disappeared.

Xu Zhiqiong and Wu Xu left the Onmyoji Division and returned to the Lantern Yamen.

Tai Bu is really a cautious person, he clearly knew that Liang Yuming was the person who raised the Gu, but he never mentioned Liang Yuming's name from the beginning to the end.

This also proves that the help he can provide is limited to this.

Wu Xu didn't expect more at first, he was extremely satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

After cooking a jar of green plum wine, Wu Xu and Xu Zhiqiong ate the mutton and had a few drinks.

Drinking with great interest, Wu Xu suddenly sat up and remembered an important thing:
"Zhiqiong, that girl Jinghan is the owner of the Shushu Pavilion in Yingge Academy, right?"

Xu Zhiqiong swallowed the mutton, lowered his head and said, "Qianhu, you guessed this yourself, but I didn't tell you."

Wu Xu said with a serious expression: "The last time I went to the Shushu Pavilion with Qu Jinshan, Qu Jinshan solved [-] problems in a row, and I had the opportunity to be the master of the pavilion, but I chose a calculator at random. Now I think about it, I regret it. But with Taibu’s confidant, he missed it!”

"It's a pity." Xu Zhiqiong didn't know how to comment, so he could only bow his head and drink.Wu Xu took a full drink, his eyes lit up and said: "Let's wait until later, you and I will go to the Shushu Pavilion of Yingge Academy, you help me solve the problem, I must meet the owner of the pavilion for a while."

Xu Zhiqiong sniffed his nose and said, "Is this good?"

"What's wrong, I have begged Tai Bu so many times and suffered so much humiliation, why not let him remember me for once!"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head again and again, sighed and said: "When is the time for retribution, don't wait for a later date, just enjoy the revenge, let's go now."

The last time I went to Yingge Academy, I only cared about the serious business, and missed the good girl, Xu Zhiqiong still has a bitter heart.

"You can't go!" Wu Xu said, "Until the matter subsides, you can't go to those places. From today on, you will continue to watch the night as usual, and follow the instructions of the commander. Among the people, recommend three reliable people to me, at least three."

Reliable person?

This standard is not easy to grasp.

Xu Zhiqiong asked, "How is Meng Shizhen?"

Wu Xu nodded: "Count him in."

Xu Zhiqiong understood the standard.
