Fortunate Young Gentleman

"Ugh!"

After hearing that the Gu worm came out of a dead body, the old beggar leaned on the railing outside the small building and vomited all the wine from the previous night. Crazy Sand Literature Network

The second and third elders of the Wusha tribe looked at him with fear. The person who could catch a mature Gu with two fingers had strength beyond their imagination.

After regaining his composure, the second elder came over and handed a bamboo tube to Tang Ning, saying, "Little doctor, I'll leave the Gu to you."

Obviously, they also heard the conversation between Tang Ning and the first elder just now.

Tang Ning did not refuse, took the bamboo tube, stood on the corridor outside the small building, and overlooked the tribe below.

After the death of the great elder, there were bursts of wailing in the small building behind. After a while, Ah Duo came out of the building with red eyes, looked at Tang Ning, and choked up and said, "Brother Tang, the great elder has passed away..."

Tang Ning gently patted her shoulder to comfort her. The great elder was the belief and pillar of the Wusha tribe. His death made the whole tribe fall into a sad atmosphere.

Wu Qing stood outside the small building blankly, his face blank, and he was a little at a loss.

Tang Ning walked over and asked, "Is the other Gu with you?"

Wu Qing looked up at him, came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and said, "The elder's health is getting worse day by day. Without this Gu, he can't get through the fifteenth of this month..."

There is a saying that when two people are together, the deeper the love is, when they are apart, the deeper the hatred is. Both of them had suffered from the pain of the Gu for decades, but they were unwilling to meet each other. The two tribes had been at loggerheads for so many years. This was the Gu tribe. They treated people well, but in some matters, they were almost paranoid and unwilling to give in.

The funeral of the great elder took three days to prepare, and his coffin was placed on a cliff in the mountain stream. This was a unique funeral custom of the Gu tribe.

The cliff was steep and dangerous, with a deep stream below, and it was impossible to climb. This was the cemetery of the Wusha tribe. The higher the position of the coffin, the more respect the living had for the dead. The great elder's coffin was located at the highest position on the cliff.

After burying the great elder, the people of the Wusha tribe sent the Gu to Wu Qing's tribe according to his last wish.

In addition to the second and third elders, the Wusha tribe also sent ten young and strong men to accompany them.

Tang Ning walked in front, looked back at the second elder, and asked, "What's going on with that female elder and the first elder?"

The second elder breathed a sigh of relief, and did not hide anything. He said, "In order to compete for the saint, Elder Tian killed several tribesmen in the tribe and committed an unforgivable mistake. The first elder drove her out of the tribe according to the tribe rules. When she left, she took half of the tribe members and reorganized the new Wusha tribe. Over the past few decades, there have been constant disputes with our tribe..."

What the second elder said was seventy or eighty years ago.

This is also the reason why Wu Qing's tribe has been fighting with them for decades.

Tang Ning also got more information from his words that he didn't know before.

The Gu tribe is good at raising Gu, and the birth of Gu worms is to put various poisonous insects together and let them fight each other. In the end, only the most poisonous one is left, and the rest of the poisonous insects will become victims in the process of refining Gu.

The Wan Gu Sect's choice of the Saint is another form of refining Gu.

Before the selection of the Saint, each of the ten tribes will nominate a woman as one of the Saint candidates. At that time, the ten of them will bring several followers and enter a dangerous place. The one who can finally come out alive will be the next Saint.

The rest of the Saint candidates will either submit to the Saint or sacrifice themselves to the Gu. The fierce competition is no less fierce than the fighting between Gu insects during the Gu refining process.

Eighty years ago, there was such a Saint candidate in the Wusha tribe. In the process of competing for the Saint, she sacrificed her followers for the position of Saint, but in the end she did not win the position of Saint.

After that, she was expelled from the Wusha tribe, driven out of the tribe, and separated from the great elder. Even though the two had planted the Gu, they never interacted with each other and hated each other for eighty years...

Wu Qing heard this, looked at the second elder, and said: "The elder is also for the tribe. If you can become a saint, you will have the opportunity to grow the tribe. What's the point of sacrificing a few people..."

The second elder looked at him coldly and said: "It's better not to do the saint in exchange for the sacrifice of the tribe."

Wu Qing opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

This is the family affair of the Wusha tribe. Tang Ning couldn't comment on it. There was no need to discuss whether it was worthwhile to exchange the tribe for the saint. After all, eighty years have passed. The female elder at that time did not get the position of saint in the end. The disposal made by the great elder in accordance with the tribe rules was understandable.

There is no point in arguing about these. What he has to do now is to send the male Gu of the Gu to that person so that she will not suffer from the pain of the Gu worm in the future, which can be regarded as fulfilling the great elder's last wish.

This part of the Wusha tribe lived halfway away from Aduo's tribe. Tang Ning and his team set out early in the morning and arrived in the afternoon.

Wu Qing walked to the gate of the village and said a few words to the guards. They opened the gate and Tang Ning and others walked in slowly.

The tribesmen of this tribe were not very polite to the Wusha tribe. When they saw them, most of them turned their heads away and ignored them without even saying hello.

Wu Qing led them to a stilt house and said, "The elder is inside."

Tang Ning and the second elder and others walked in and saw an old woman lying on a recliner in the building.

The old woman's face was already full of brown spots, and her skin was loose and attached to her bones. She looked at the few people coming in with a sharp look in her eyes. There was a hint of expectation hidden in the depths of her eyes. She looked at the second elder and asked: "I feel it, it's here, where is Ge Lou, let him come out to see me..."

The second elder looked at her and said: "The eldest elder has passed away..."

"What, what..." The old woman was struck by lightning, her body trembled, and she struggled to get up from the recliner, grabbed the second elder's wrist, and said angrily: "What did you say, how did he die, how could Ge Lou die?"

Tang Ning handed the bamboo tube to the second elder, and the second elder took the bamboo tube and said: "Before the eldest elder left, let us send the Gu to you..."

The old woman looked at the bamboo tube, and when she felt the things in the tube, she fell back into the recliner, and her eyes lost color.

If the host is not dead, the Gu will not come out. If the Gu breaks the body, it means that its owner is dead.

The old woman lay weakly on the recliner, and said hoarsely: "You will never see me even if you die, you will never see me even if you die..."

The second elder put the bamboo tube on the table, looked at Tang Ning, and said: "Let's go."

"I was wrong, I was wrong..."

"Don't die, we agreed to die together..."

...

When Tang Ning and the second elder walked out of the small building, the old woman was still saying something, but he could not understand it very well. They walked outside and saw the third elder arguing with an old man.

The third elder was angry and said, "This is what the elder meant!"

The old man snorted and said, "That's your elder!"

The third elder reminded, "Don't forget, you are also from the Wusha tribe."

"That was in the past." The old man looked at him and said, "Why should we go when he drives us away and go back when he asks us to go back!"

Tang Ning shook his head. The two gangs of the Wusha tribe had too deep a grudge. It would not be easy to fulfill the elder's other last wish.

He walked down the steps and suddenly heard some music coming from behind. Tang Ning had just heard the sound of the reed pipe not long ago. He looked at the second elder and asked, "Where is the reed pipe playing..."

The second elder turned around and looked at the stilt house above and said, "Elder Tian has passed away..."

...

The old woman also passed away, quietly dying on the recliner.

Some things in this world are really fate. The elder committed suicide just to get out the poisonous insect and save her life.

However, when Tang Ning sent the Gu worms, the final outcome was like this.

When one Gu was nearby, the other one would not go crazy. After the old woman died, the Gu worms broke out of her body and were easily caught in the bamboo tube.

At the entrance of the village, Wu Qing held two bamboo tubes in his hand, looked at the second elder with a complicated expression, and said: "Before the elder dies, let us hand over this pair of Gu worms to you."

The second elder sighed lightly, and was about to reach out to take it, when a silver light suddenly flew out from Wu Qing's sleeve and bit the second elder's wrist.

The second elder's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "Wu Qing, you..."

Wu Qing showed a confused look on his face, and murmured: "I, I don't know, how could the silver snake..."

The people of the Wusha tribe who followed the second elder had already drawn their weapons, and angrily said to Wu Qing and the few people behind him: "Wu Qing, you despicable villain..."

Wu Qing looked flustered and explained: "No, it's not me..."

"You dare to quibble!"

...

The incident happened suddenly, and the two gangs held weapons and faced each other from a distance, as if a conflict would break out in the next moment.

At this time, Tang Ning walked up slowly and waved to the people of the Wusha tribe, signaling them to put down their weapons.

A Duo looked at him and said puzzledly: "Brother Tang..."

Tang Ning gave her a look, looked at a dense forest in front of the village, and said: "Have you seen enough? Come out if you have seen enough..."
