Villager of Destiny

Chapter 195
Zhang Mingyu looked at the white worm in his hand for a while before recovering, then looked at me and said, "Junior Brother Li, you should know about living corpses, right?"

I nodded.

Of course I know about living corpses.

When several city gods were looking for a new boneless body for themselves, they first made a living person into a living corpse.

For example Xu Er's daughter.

For example, Juanniang in Tiancoffin Village is like this.

But what does this bug have to do with a living corpse?
I do not quite understand.

Zhang Mingyu explained: "Soul-eating Gu feeds on the soul of a living person. Once it enters a person's body, it will continuously devour that person's soul until the person's soul completely disappears."

"This kind of Gu worm is not a special kind of Gu worm, on the contrary, there should be quite a few people in the entire Miaojiang lineage who will use this kind of Gu worm."

"But because the existence of this kind of Gu worm is extremely cruel, and if you want to feed one, you need to kill at least one person, so the Miaojiang lineage has almost banned the existence of this kind of Gu worm."

"The last time it appeared..." Zhang Mingyu looked at me, "It was in Zhongdong Gu Village."

Hearing these four words, my eyelids couldn't help but jump.

Does it really have something to do with Zhongdong Gu Village?

I got dizzy for a moment.

"Tell me carefully."

Zhang Mingyu nodded slightly, and then said: "Junior Brother Li, I have told you about the Zhongdong Gu Village before, but we didn't tell you about the Soul Eater Gu Village at that time."

"Because your senior sister and I felt that the Soul Eater Gu should never appear again, and what happened in the Zhongdong Gu Village back then should never happen again."

"Now it seems that we are still too naive."

"according to my understanding."

"Back then, the Gu king in Zhongdong Gu Village went crazy overnight and killed all the people in Zhongdong Gu Village. There is a reason why people from the Miaojiang lineage have not been willing to admit it."

"That means the entire Zhongdong Gu Village has been given Soul Devouring Gu."

My eyes widened.

"The Gu King's village has been poisoned?"

"What are you kidding?"

To be honest, I don't believe this at all, because it undoubtedly tells me that Tianshi Mountain is occupied by ghosts.

"What's more, Zhang Mingyu and the others have said that the Gu King of Zhongdong Gu Village is the first Gu King of the Miao Jiang lineage. This status and strength are evident."

"Who can play Gu under the nose of such a Gu-playing ancestor?"

Isn't that bullshit...

But thinking of this, I shivered.

Because it occurred to me that it didn't seem impossible...

I immediately calmed down, looked at Zhang Mingyu, Zhang Mingyu smiled wryly and said, "When I saw the news, I had the same reaction as you."

"However, according to the records in our Tianshishan classics, this is real."

"But it is very possible, and only we Tianshishan know."

"Who is the person who played Gu?" I asked.

Zhang Mingyu shook his head and said, "There is no record in the classics."

"Just to say, the Gu king most likely discovered that the entire Zhongdong Gu village had been infected by the Soul-eating Gu. In order to prevent the Soul-eating Gu from spreading throughout the entire Miao border, he finally chose to slaughter everyone with his own hands. That's why he's crazy."

I smiled wryly.

Killing so many people with your own hands, and counting them as your own family members, can you not be crazy?

I'm crazy too.

"So what you mean is that the appearance of Soul Eater Gu in Tiankeng Village may have something to do with what happened in Zhongdong Gu Village back then?" I asked.

Zhang Mingyu thought for a while and said, "It's possible."

"But it's also possible that someone from Miao Jiang's lineage used this Gu worm without authorization."

"But for whatever reason."

"We can all rest easy now."

"Don't worry about what?" I froze for a moment.

Zhang Mingyu shrugged and said: "At least it proves that this place should have nothing to do with the orthodoxy of Miao Jiang's lineage, and our meddling will not be regarded as offending people of Miao Jiang's lineage."

"but……"

Zhang Mingyu looked in the direction of the Tiankeng.

"Maoshan lineage... not sure yet."

Zhang Mingyu looked thoughtful.

"The Maoshan lineage is different from our Tianshi Mountain. Although it can be said that it is a unified orthodoxy, but our Tianshi lineage has always had very few disciples. Even if it is not the master of the vein, it can only accept three disciples in a lifetime. You can only accept one disciple."

"As for the Maoshan lineage, they pay attention to teaching without discrimination. Anyone who wants to get started, even if he can't become an official Maoshan disciple, will have the name of a layman."

"The number of disciples of the Maoshan layman is extremely large, and there are both good and evil."

"And there is one thing, that is, Maoshan's lineage is extremely protective. Even lay disciples, no matter good or evil, as long as they bear the name of Maoshan, they will be protected by elders in the sect."

"If the old eighteen is really using this soul-eating Gu to do evil, we will be able to offend Maoshan's people if we get rid of him."

"Are you scared?" I looked at Zhang Mingyu.

Zhang Mingyu froze for a moment, then shook his head solemnly and said, "Of course not."

"It's just troublesome."

I shrugged and said, "That's fine."

"Li Bowen once taught me a word."

"It should be killed."

"It should be saved!"

"The people of Tiankeng Village should be rescued now."

"If the old eighteen is really doing evil, he should be killed."

"What's the matter..." I smiled, "Look for Li Bowen."

Zhang Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then looked at me in surprise and asked, "Junior Brother Li, is that how you call Uncle Li?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I'm just a disciple in the outer chamber, similar to a disciple of the Maoshan layman."

"What's this about."

Zhang Mingyu was speechless for a moment, and after a while he smiled wryly and said, "We don't have any outer disciples in Tianshi Mountain."

I narrowed my eyes slightly, then pretended I didn't hear it, and asked again: "Now that it's confirmed that this bug is Soul Devouring Gu, how do we solve it?"

"We can't let everyone in Tiankeng Village enter a state of suspended animation, right?"

Zhang Mingyu shook his head and said, "For now, let's do this."

"And according to my observations, these soul-eating Gus have been in these people's bodies for several days, and their souls have become extremely weak. One day at the latest, they will completely become soulless. Shell."

The corner of my mouth twitched slightly, and after thinking for a while, I said, "Then do this."

"But after we take out all these soul-eating Gus, the old eighteen will definitely find out."

"We still have to make some preparations."

Zhang Mingyu heard the words, but said indifferently: "No."

"As long as we don't kill this Gu worm, there will be no problem."

"Really not?"

Zhang Mingyu nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that he was so confident, I stopped talking nonsense, and immediately led him out of the house, and then went to the next house.

Fortunately, there are not many people in Tiankeng Village, so it didn't take us long.

Just over half an hour.

A total of thirteen Gu worms were taken out by us.

There should have been seventeen items.

It's just that four people have died in Tiankeng Village.

The other one is the old eighteen, so naturally there are only thirteen.

The thirteen Gu worms all looked like huge maggots, it was disgusting to look at.

Zhang Mingyu didn't mind much, so he packed up the Gu worm and carried it with him.
