Villager of Destiny

Chapter 272 Birth Gu

But after a while, the blood began to squirm on the ground as if it had come to life, and then began to swell up at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, a blood egg half the height of a person appeared in front of my eyes.

As soon as the blood egg came out, the surrounding air seemed to stagnate for a moment.

I immediately felt very uncomfortable, especially when the bloody egg appeared and was beating like a heart, it made my heart beat a beat slower.

What the hell is this?

I was horrified.

It's just the blood of the Gu King, but it turned into this appearance?

Zhang Mingyu also took a few unnatural steps back, keeping himself away from the bloody egg, and it took him a while to seem to remember what the bloody egg was.

He looked at Gu King in disbelief.

"Gu King, you want to..."

Gu King didn't answer, but when the speed of the blood eggs was beating faster and faster, the sound of the flute was also accelerated, and under the continuous and extremely fast sound of the flute, even the Huangquan River seemed to have calmed down.

"Cuck!"

Suddenly there was a cry of frogs.

Zhang Mingyu and I looked at each other at the same time.

The next moment I saw the bloody egg start to crack, and a scarlet toad came out of it.

The toad was half a person tall, and was covered in swellings. When it came out, a red mist appeared around its body, and there was a faint pungent smell of blood.

Looking at the toad, I got goose bumps all over my body.

Of course, I have seen toads before, but this is the first time I have seen them that are so big and weird. Not only that, I also felt a familiar aura from this toad, very similar to Gu King.

After the toad appeared, it hopped and hopped towards the Huangquan River. When it was by the river, it stood there for a while, and then jumped directly into the Huangquan River after another frog cry.

The Huangquan River, which was still flowing, stopped suddenly as it jumped in, as if it had stopped flowing, and there was no sign of flowing.

Seeing this scene, I widened my eyes, and looked at Gu King in disbelief.

At this time, the Gu King had also put away the flute, but his face had turned paler, his aura was much weaker, and his already old face was much older at this moment.

He sat cross-legged on the ground without saying a word.

At this moment, it looks like an old man who is dying.

I hesitated for a moment, but I still asked, "Are you..."

Although I already had a knot in my heart towards him, seeing him blocking the Huangquan River, I temporarily let go of my opinion on him. At least in the case of Huangquan Road, what he did was what I wanted to do.

Hearing my voice, King Gu looked at me wearily and said: "I'll block the Yellow Spring River for you, and then you just need to destroy this Yellow Spring Road."

"Huangquan Road is destroyed, you can leave now."

"Are you all right?" I asked.

The Gu King said indifferently: "I have already reached my twilight years, I thought that I could rely on the Longevity Gu to live a little longer, so as to continue to protect this Miaojiang."

"Who knows, it made you perfect."

Hearing this, I was a little embarrassed.

"This... is really not what I thought."

"but……"

I didn't go on.

Gu King just smiled indifferently, "Are you saying that I have brought it on myself?"

I froze for a moment and shook my head quickly.

Although I do want to say that.

But this is just my inner thoughts, so naturally I can't admit it.

But the Gu King didn't care and said: "Since the Longevity Gu has merged with you, please continue on this road."

"It's a tough road."

"In the future, what you have to face is much more difficult than this time."

When Gu King said this, he looked at me meaningfully, and then said: "After leaving here, give this flute to the people in the temple for me, and they will understand what to do."

Gu Wang threw the flute to me.

I followed, somehow, but suddenly felt very heavy.

In fact, he was not wrong.

For longevity Gu, he just wants to protect the Miao border all the time. Compared to me, this alone is enough to make me admire.

It's just that the soul-devouring Gu mother worm is staying in my mind, and I can't take it out, let alone return it to him.

I sighed slightly in my heart, then nodded and said, "I will."

Gu King then slowly closed his eyes.

He is not dead.

Looks just tired.

But I know that he gave me the flute and asked me to return it to the temple for him, which has already explained a lot, but it's too late to say anything now.

After glancing at him, I bowed to him, then looked around, and then walked towards the statue of the City God with the Immortal Sword in hand...

It was night again when we left Zhongdong Gu Village.

Without the City God, it was still raining and very cold.

When Zhang Mingyu and I returned to Shengcun, we both had mixed feelings.

The Gu King stayed there, as if he wanted to guard the cut-off Yellow Spring Road, but in fact he was waiting for death in silence, because when I left the Zhongdong Gu Village, I saw the mouth of the earth line town spirit again. coffin.

It stopped beside Gu King.

According to Gu King's explanation, we returned to the temple immediately, and I found out only after returning to the temple that Gu King had already dealt with all the follow-up matters.

The truth of what he said.

It's actually not as difficult to solve as I thought.

The guards didn't stop me, and let me walk into the temple as if they knew I would come.

There was only one old man in the temple, who was packing up the contents for the Gu King. When I handed him the flute, he burst into tears.

I clearly saw his hands trembling when he took the flute.

And he didn't ask me anything.

I just walked out of the temple tremblingly holding the flute, and then I heard a sad voice coming from outside the temple.

"Let's go!"

"Go well..."

One after another voices came after the sorrow. It seemed that the whole holy village and the whole Miaojiang knew the return of the flute at this moment, and the sound went well, like a sad song.

"The Gu king is gone..." Zhang Mingyu looked complicated.

I nodded.

But some don't understand.

Because even without Soul Devouring Gu, judging by his mental outlook, he wouldn't have passed away all at once, unless it was because of that toad.

Zhang Mingyu seemed to see my puzzlement, and sighed: "Miao Jiang's voodoo is unique in the entire world of strange people."

"Everyone in Miaojiang will first determine their own natal Gu before learning Gu skills."

"Once the natal Gu is determined, it establishes a close connection with that person, and this connection includes life."

"Once the natal Gu leaves the body, if it does not return, the life of the host of the natal Gu will be taken away. In the end, the natal Gu will be free and the host will die."

"The blood toad is the natal Gu of the Gu King."
