Villager of Destiny

Chapter 194 Soul Eater Gu

"But if you do what you say."

"The stuff in the pit that day."

"I might know what it is."

"What is it?" I became interested.

Zhang Mingyu took a deep breath and said, "Human gu!"

Human Gu?

"As the name suggests, Human Gu is a Gu refined from humans."

"This kind of Gu is refined by living people, even in Miaojiang, it is considered a big taboo, because it is too cruel, and it needs to kill the lives of strangers."

"But the things you said are a little different from the human Gu I know."

Zhang Mingyu looked at me and said, "According to what you said, those eighteen weird things came from the coffins in those eighteen tiankengs, which means they may have existed for a long time."

"This shows that the old eighteen may not be the one who made those things."

"But he was able to control those things."

"So?" I didn't quite understand.

Zhang Mingyu took a deep breath and said, "We may be in trouble."

"Speak clearly." I didn't understand even more.

Only then did Zhang Mingyu continue: "If those eighteen things are human gu, and the old eighteen is from Maoshan, then this matter means that it is a matter of Maoshan and Miaojiang."

"Now we're getting involved."

Zhang Mingyu took a deep breath.

"If it's just about the old eighteen people, it's fine, if it's not..."

He hesitated.

But I understand it.

What he was worried about was not Old Eighteen.

Instead, I was worried about whether Maoshan and Miaojiang would be behind this incident.

If there is a relationship, then the nature of this matter has completely changed.

However, I think this possibility is very small. After all, if the matter here has something to do with the two veins of Maoshan and Miaojiang, I should not just let the old eighteen do it.

So this incident may just be the behavior of Old Shiba alone.

Thinking of this, I said, "This is unlikely."

Zhang Mingyu looked at me.

I said: "I didn't find anything else in the past few days when I came here. From the beginning to the end, the old eighteen was doing these things alone."

"If it has something to do with those two veins, I don't think it's just the old eighteen."

Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

"Maybe I'm thinking too much."

"Then what are you thinking now?"

"Help Tiankeng Village solve this matter?"

I smiled wryly and said, "I would like to leave here directly and go to the Zhongdong Gu Village, but since I have encountered it, it's not a problem to just sit back and ignore it."

"And to tell you the truth, I have a vague feeling that this has something to do with me."

"Although what is the relationship, I won't be able to say for a while."

I'm telling the truth.

This is where I am most troubled now.

Hearing what I said, Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "I also have this idea."

"Although I came here just to try my luck and see if I can find you."

"Now that I have found you and encountered this incident again, as a disciple of Tianshi Mountain, I can't just sit idly by, otherwise I will be ashamed to the elders of the teacher if I spread the word."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mingyu took a serious look at me and said, "Junior Brother Li, you are the young master of Nanyin's lineage."

"There should also be thoughts of helping the world and saving people."

The corner of my mouth twitched slightly, and I smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this, I'll take you to find that bug first."

Zhang Mingyu sighed, but still nodded slightly.

Not long after, Zhang Mingyu and I returned to Tiankeng Village.

At this time, Tiankeng Village was still silent, and Zhang Mingyu and I entered a room. The owner of the room was lying on the bed, not as weird as when I saw it before.

I'm not surprised by this, because of Zhang Mingyu's appearance, the old eighteen should have some fears, and before Zhang Mingyu leaves, he may not take any action for the time being.

But if Zhang Mingyu hadn't left, Old Eighteen might have made another choice.

For example, solve Zhang Mingyu.

It's like taking me to that pit that day, and trying to kill me that day.

It's just a pity that Old Eighteen will be disappointed this time.

Looking at the sleeping owner, Zhang Mingyu didn't seem worried at all about being discovered, so he even took out a talisman and stuck it on the owner's forehead.

The owner's eyes snapped open, but closed again after a while.

I watched, a little surprised.

Zhang Mingyu said in a low voice: "If there are Gu worms on his body, then you only need to put him into a state of suspended animation. If the Gu worms on his body can't feel his breath, they will think that he is useless, and they will choose to leave this body Find the next host."

I asked: "How do you know?"

Zhang Mingyu explained: "Miao Jiang's lineage of Gu poison is not a secret. Although it is extremely difficult to understand, we have some ways to deal with it in Tianshi Mountain over the years."

"However, this method of feigning death is only useful for some relatively common Gu worms. If it is some special Gu worms or worm mothers, even if the body that enters has no breath, they will not choose to leave, but will choose to leave. Their essence and blood are also sucked clean."

"I hope the worms in this body are just ordinary Gu worms."

After speaking, Zhang Mingyu focused his eyes on that person.

I didn't ask any more questions and just stared at it with Zhang Mingyu.

At this time, the owner of the house has indeed entered a state of suspended animation. Even standing next to him, I didn't feel a little breathing, and there was no faint heartbeat.

As time passed minute by minute, Zhang Mingyu stared intently at it.

After 10 minutes passed, Zhang Mingyu's eyes shrank slightly, and his face became a little more happy.

"There is."

"be careful!"

"As soon as a Gu worm appears, it will immediately look for someone with a breath of life. Once it is contaminated by him, it will be very troublesome."

I took a few steps back quickly.

I can hunt ghosts, fight walking corpses and kill Chenghuang, I really don't want to touch this thing.

Especially when I think about the appearance of that bug, I feel sick from the bottom of my heart.

Sure enough.

Not long after Zhang Mingyu finished speaking, the owner of the bed opened his mouth, and then a white worm the size of an index finger crawled out of his mouth, looking very disgusting like a maggot.

"It really is a Gu insect."

Zhang Mingyu's eyes were sharp, and at the same time he took out a talisman, bit his own fingertips, smeared the blood on the talisman, and then directly covered the white bug with the talisman.

The white worm struggled violently in an instant, but after struggling for a while, it lost its breath, and fell straight to the ground, covered by the talisman paper.

Seeing this, Zhang Mingyu picked it up together with the talisman paper. After taking a look, Zhang Mingyu gasped, and involuntarily let out an exclamation.

"Soul Devouring Gu!"

"What's that?" I asked.
