Villager of Destiny

Chapter 270 Using You as Bait
Hearing my words, Zhang Mingyu fell silent.

Gu King also came over at this time.

Also silent.

I smiled, looked at Gu King and asked again: "What is your purpose?"

Seeing me ask again, Gu King said: "Kill the City God."

I shook my head.

"not that simple."

Gu King sighed and said: "Use you as bait."

really.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down a bit.

It's just this sentence, I couldn't figure it out before, but now I understand it all.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows.

From the beginning to the end, this oriole is not me and this Miaojiang City God, but him, Miaojiang Gu King, the village guard of Miaojiang.

And that city god and I are cicadas, or praying mantises.

Or rather.

In fact, at the beginning, I was that cicada.

And he and the Miaojiang City God are competing for the identity of the oriole.

But, in the end, the praying mantis died.

He became a titmouse.

but me……

"So you want to kill me too?"

I look at him.

Hearing my words, Zhang Mingyu's face changed suddenly.

"What do you mean?" He also looked at Gu King, frowned and said, "You didn't say that before."

Gu King was silent for a while, and instead of answering Zhang Mingyu, he looked at me.

"I said."

"Unless you can find the truth, otherwise, you can only die."

"The City God is dead now." I said.

King Gu shook his head: "Only we know about his death."

"Unable to convince the public."

"And if I just go out and tell them the news, do you think it's useful?"

"I'm a village guard just like you."

"But at the same time, I am also the Gu King of this Miao Jiang."

"I must be responsible for my people."

"They have to trust me, too."

"Do you understand it?"

I shook my head again and said, "That's not the real reason."

I look at him.

"If I'm not wrong, your plan has already started since I came here."

"No." I thought for a while and then said, "It started when Li Bowen took the Soul-devouring Gu mother from your hands."

"I've been thinking about it before."

"What kind of deal did Li Bowen and you make?"

"It's impossible for him not to know that you want to kill me, but he just didn't stop me, and even handed the soul-devouring Gu mother into my hands."

"Now, I understand a little bit."

"You consider yourself a weasel."

"In reality, however, you are nothing but a praying mantis."

"The real oriole is Li Bowen."

Gu King narrowed his eyes slightly.

He seemed to be thinking about my words.

What I said was not nonsense for no reason, but when he was sure that he wanted to kill me, I suddenly understood it.

In fact, Chenghuang has always wanted to kill me.

The reason why I felt at first that the City God just wanted to force me to leave here was just an illusion created by the Gu King in front of me.

And that City God has actually been in his calculations all along.

That's why when I came to the Zhongdong Gu Village, the City God came here so quickly. He has been trying to kill me and dedicate me to the Taishan Mansion Lord, but he was killed by the Gu King. destroyed in the dark.

As for how he destroyed it, it is unknown.

But this, I have now been able to determine, can not be wrong.

At this time, Gu King suddenly said: "It doesn't really matter who is the oriole and who is the mantis."

"Now the City God is dead."

"There is only one last thing left for me to do."

He stared at me.

I suddenly had a creepy feeling.

"The soul-devouring Gu mother is in your brain."

I froze for a moment, and my heart couldn't help but thump.

"No matter who I am or Li Bowen is the oriole, it won't change the fact that you are the cicada now."

After he finished speaking, he took out the flute from his body.

"Soul Devouring Gu."

"It can also be called Longevity Gu."

"It was cultivated by that Gu King disciple, in order to prevent the outside world from coveting it, so it was named Soul Devouring Gu."

"Ordinary longevity Gu can devour a person's soul. After completely devouring that person's soul, it may fuse with that person within a certain period of time and become a new soul in that person's body, making that person's body Able to form longevity in disguise."

"Hence the name Longevity."
"But the Soul-devouring Gu mother worm is different."

"It has two abilities."

"One is Soul Eater."

"One is to protect the soul."

"Soul Devouring is devouring soul, it is no different from ordinary Soul Devouring Gu."

"Soul protection is to live in the host's body and become a part of its body, which can repair its soul, and even as long as it stays in it all the time, it can make the host achieve true longevity."

Hearing this, I felt a storm in my heart.

Soul Devouring Gu is Longevity Gu?

I subconsciously put my hands on my head.

The current Soul Devouring Gu is parasitic in my body, and I can use its power to live forever?

This is a bit nonsense, right?

But when I think about the situation of the first Gu King and his disciples, I believe it again.

They are not soul-devouring Gu mother insects.

Although I don't know how their souls are still there, they have lived for an unknown number of years, even if they are very weak, even if they don't look like human beings.

It’s just that if what the Gu king in front of him wanted was the Soul-eating Gu mother, why did he give it to Li Bowen in the first place, and when I came to the holy village to return the Soul-eating Gu mother to him, he finally gave it to me again.

What is the reason?
I looked at him very incomprehensible.

The Gu King seemed to know what I was ignoring, and continued: "Since the Longevity Gu was cultivated, no one has really used this female insect, so even if I know its function, I can't be sure whether it is true. "

"So I've been waiting."

"Until Li Bowen appeared."

"He made an agreement with me, allowing the two of you to come here and help you get rid of that city god, and I can use your body to confirm whether the longevity Gu mother is effective."

I frowned.

I can't believe it.

"Li Bowen and your agreement?"

"Experiment on my body?"

Gu King nodded slightly.

Then put the flute to his mouth.

"Now it can be confirmed that the Longevity Gu is indeed effective, so... you should give it back to me."

"It belongs to Miaojiang."

"I need it."

"I will use it to protect this Miao border forever."

I subconsciously backed away.

The loss of strength in my body made me choose not to fight hard with him, but to run.

At this point I can't care about anything else.

I looked at Zhang Mingyu.

"What are you still doing?"

"run!"

Only then did Zhang Mingyu come to his senses, rushed over to support me and was about to run out of the Chaozhongdong Gu village with him.

However, at this time, the flute sounded.

I stopped in my footsteps and subconsciously covered my head.
