"Okay, don't panic, don't you still have me here?"

Seeing the panic on Daoist Jia's face, Shen Nian patted his shoulder and comforted him with a light smile.

Daochang Jia shook his head and said in panic: "It's useless, it's really over now! The evil spirit here is too strong!

The small group just now consumed thirteen fire talismans, and now there are seventeen groups suddenly appearing around me. Even if the old and unreliable ones come, they have to kneel down!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

"I don't want to die yet! I'm only eighteen years old and I don't have a girlfriend yet..."

Shen Nian twitched the corner of his mouth, "I remember that the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain belongs to the Zhengtao Sect, right? Are you looking for a girlfriend?"

Taoist Master Jia became a little anxious and glared at him, "I am a Taoist priest, not a monk! Besides, even if you are a Buddhist disciple, there are some who practice Happy Buddha! I want to find a Taoist companion, is there anything wrong with me?"

Shen Nian nodded slightly, "Well, what you said makes sense."

Daochang Jia choked up and said: "I am still so young, I have such great youth!"

The next second, he said "Wow" and started crying, with tears and snot hanging all over his face.

Shen Nian stood aside, dumbfounded.

The descendant of the dignified Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion is actually a crybaby?

Who would believe it?

At the same time, the seventeen groups of ghostly auras had already rushed towards them, and Daoist Master Jia cried even more sadly.

Shen Nian had no time to complain, and turned to look at the seventeen groups of ghosts and evil spirits, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

These ghostly auras gave him a strange feeling, as if there were a pair of eyes inside, staring at him.

He released his spiritual power and instantly enveloped a ten-meter radius, including those ghostly auras.

Suddenly, all the secrets of these ghostly auras were invisible to his eyes.

Shen Nian was shocked to find that there were actually living creatures in these ghostly auras.

In every cloud of evil spirits, there is a bug.

To be more precise, these evil spirits are emitted from the bodies of these insects.

Gu insect!

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Shen Nian's mind, and he thought of a possibility.

However, before he had time to think too much, seventeen groups of ghosts and evil spirits had already approached.

His face darkened, and he condensed sixteen sword auras glowing with golden light in his palms, and slashed at sixteen groups of ghostly auras respectively.

The targets of the sixteen sword qi are precisely those existences that are suspected of being Gu insects hiding in the evil spirit.

When the sword energy fell, those insects instantly turned into powder.

However, the golden spiritual energy in the sword energy turned into golden flames, burning away the evil spirit.

Shen Nian paid no attention to these.

His attention fell on the last group of ghostly aura.

When the evil spirit came to him, he stretched out a hand and penetrated it.

When he took his hand out, he was holding an ugly-looking insect between his index finger and thumb.

He waved his hand, and a golden sword energy appeared out of thin air, burning away all the ghostly energy around him.

"All... gone?"

Daochang Jia stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence.

He looked at Shen Nian in shock, "Senior, how did you do it? Even an old and unreliable person can't do this kind of thing! Your real age shouldn't be any older than that of an old and unreliable person. Is it even bigger?"

Suddenly, he noticed the bug in Shen Nian's hand, and his expression changed slightly, "Gu bug? Why are there Gu bugs here?"

"You know him?"

Shen Nian turned his head and glanced at him.

Daochang Jia nodded and said with some confusion: "I know, this is a Gu insect, but why did the Gu insect appear here? Hasn't the Miao Gu lineage disappeared?"

Shen Nian pondered for a moment and recounted the story of these Gu insects hiding in the ghostly aura.

After listening, Taoist Master Jia showed a look of surprise on his face and murmured: "So that's it, I seem to understand what's going on!"

"What do you understand?"

Shen Nian asked curiously.

Although he has the inheritance of heavenly medicine, not everything is recorded in the inheritance of heavenly medicine.

At least, the current situation is not recorded in it.

It was precisely because of this that he thought of bringing Daoist Jia in. Now it seems that this choice was the right one.

Taoist Master Jia said in a deep voice: "When I was in Tianshi Mansion, I once read an ancient book, which recorded a method of using the evil spirit to raise voodoo."

"The evil spirit nourishes Gu?"

Shen Nian's brows furrowed deeply.

He asked: "Is there any difference between the Gu worms raised by this method and those raised by ordinary methods?"

The common method of raising voodoos is to put countless bugs in the same confined space, let them eat each other, fight for each other, and feed them various poisons, and finally one survives.

Daozhang Jia explained: "The Gu worms raised in this way are more powerful than ordinary Gu worms, and because they have been nourished by the evil spirit, they also have the ability to devour human souls."

Devouring souls?

A flash of light flashed in Shen Nian's eyes.

Whoosh——

At this moment, a sound broke through the air.

A short blade cut through the sky and shot towards Daozhang Jia.

Shen Nian's face turned cold, and he stretched out a hand. When the short blade was still three centimeters away from Daochang Jia's eyebrows, he grabbed it and crushed it hard.

The moment the short blade flew over, Daochang Jia's body tensed up.

He also sensed the crisis, but was unable to dodge it.

It wasn't until Shen Nian helped him block the fatal blow that he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.

"Senior, thank you!"

Daochang Jia expressed his heartfelt thanks.

"Step aside and stay out of the way."

Shen Nian said lightly.

Immediately, he looked in one direction, with a cold light in his eyes.

On the edge of the giant pit, at some point, a figure shrouded in black robes appeared.

"You raised these Gu insects, right?"

Shen Nian asked coldly.

"I didn't expect that you would discover this place by accident."

A hoarse voice came from under the black robe.

Shen Nian's heart moved, "Do you know me?"

The man in black robe smiled and did not explain.

Shen Nian narrowed his eyes, "Who are you? What's the purpose of raising these Gu insects?"

The man in black robe chuckled lightly, "Do you think I need to explain to you?"

Shen Nian's brows wrinkled.

The man in black robe glanced at the eighteen coffins and said coldly: "I have been preparing for the eighteen Gu insects here for nearly ten years. They are about to mature, but you ruined them all. You should give me a favor." Let me explain?"

"How about you tell me the function of these Gu insects and I will give you an explanation?"

Shen Nian said with a chuckle.

The man in black robe sneered, "Shen Nian, there's no need to use this little trick on me! I'm not one of those idiots! It's impossible to get something out of me!"

Shen Nian's eyes flickered, playfully: "You keep saying that you are different from those idiots, but you still revealed an important piece of news to me."

At this point, his voice paused, "If I guess correctly, you are the poisonous poison master hiding behind the scenes, right? The poisonous poison in Guo Chengzhu's body was planted by you!"

"Ho ho, I underestimated you. You guessed it right, it was me who did it."

The man in black robe laughed strangely.

Shen Nian's face darkened, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"You can guess. As long as you guess right, I will tell you!"
