There's nothing powerful about those Gu insects, but why doesn't she feel at ease?
"Why don't we meet that man and ask him where he came from? Maybe you can come up with some clues."
Qiuqiu nodded.
After the senior brother was brought to Qingning Temple, his original guess became more and more certain. The girl was indeed a person who practiced immortality and Taoism. The one she used against him before was the legendary Flying Control Sword. These people swallowed the wind and drank.
Lu, transcending the mortal world, can fly on land with just one breath, can even cut off rivers with flying swords, and can kill people thousands of miles away.
Let alone him, not even Master can compete with such a person.
He was brought back and stayed in the stone house. He heard from the two disciples in front of the door that the old man in the stone house next door was the old man Wan Gu and his master!
Master has done too many evil things, and if he falls into the hands of these righteous people, he will definitely have no way to survive. He himself has also done many things, and it is difficult to save his life.
He doesn't make that hope either.
He just thought that it would be enough if he could keep his junior sister. When he was picked up by his master, he was still a little baby who couldn't speak. The master himself didn't have time to raise a child. It was he who brought up his junior sister and taught her how to speak and walk.
Teach her boxing and kicking skills, teach her how to use poison and cultivate gu.
Just like his children.
As soon as he heard the door knock, he jumped up quickly and stood against the wall in a very obedient and respectful manner.
Seeing him like this, Shi'er was stunned for a moment.
Unlike the vicious old man Wan Gu and the despairing Kong Xuan, this senior brother is actually a very sensible person.
Shi'er didn't say anything. Qiuqiu and him had not known each other since they had fought each other.
"Don't be afraid. I want to ask you something. Just tell me what you know."
"Yes, yes, fairy lady, please ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Qiu Qiuxin said that she had known that he would be so respectful to Taoist cultivators, and by revealing his identity at the beginning, it would save him trouble later. But when he thought about it again, people would not believe him if he said that I was not an ordinary person.
"Tell me a bit about you and your sect's origins."
The senior brother nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
He paused and organized his words: "I have been following Master since I was seven or eight years old. All my family members are dead, so being with Master is a way out. Master named me Fuzi."
aconite?
It's really famous, and it's quite poisonous. It's just that it doesn't look like a personal name.
Old Man Wan Gu also accepts disciples in order to train helpers. He may not have any true feelings for his disciples. You can tell from the name.
Fuzi continued: "I used to live with my master in the mountains of Bingzhou, and rarely interacted with people. When the master went on long journeys, I stayed in the mountains to look after him. Later, as I grew older, he would take him with me when he went out.
.Slowly I learned about Master’s affairs outside.”
"Master's poison skills were passed down from his ancestor, who was not very famous and did not have a name. But cultivating poison is a skill that master has learned little by little. Master is a very smart person, and the cultivation of poison and voodoo techniques is
In order to test the efficacy of the poison, he had to test it every time he made a new poison. Even I gave it to Master
I tried many times, but once Master failed to find a solution. I almost died. Master also used people from outside the mountains to test the medicine. Sometimes I would catch people. They were deceived and locked up for Master to test. Sometimes Master
He went out to find someone to test it on his own, and once he poisoned the water source of a village, killing hundreds of people at once."
Fuzi really knew everything and told him everything. Not only did he tell the truth about Old Man Wan Gu, he didn't even hide what he had done.
"It's been more than twenty years, right? Master told me that he accepted another disciple, but this disciple is a monk, Kong Xuan."
"Has your master already known his identity?"
"Yes, the master has been looking for a secret book in the former palace. He has been looking for it for many years, and somehow he found it on Kong Xuan. The secret book that the master found is not complete. It says
Some secret techniques that he had never heard of before, the master tried them several times according to the above instructions, and he said that if he could really practice the above secret techniques, he would be immortal and immune to all poisons."
Qiuqiu asked: "Have you seen that secret book?"
Fuzi shook his head: "I haven't seen it before, and my master has never taught me the above techniques."
Old Man Wan Gu wants to live forever, but he only thinks about himself, not his apprentice.
"Master said that to refine the secret technique above, you need a lot of dead souls. I said let's poison it, but Master said it's not enough and it's too slow."
Most Shi'er understood what he was talking about, which was the secret book that they had not found in Old Man Wan Gu's place.
Qiuqiu still had the feeling that something was wrong.
"How do you raise those Gu?"
She was a little curious about this.
"Some are leftover voodoo seeds, some are collected from hundreds of insects, toadstools and poisonous flowers are used to prepare voodoo using secret methods, and some are made using humans..., the effects of voodoo are also different, some can cause death, some can make people crazy, and some can even make people crazy.
Able to control people's actions..."
Qiuqiu asked: "Can you control people's actions?"
"That's right." Aconite said: "For example, mind-enchanting voodoos and phantom life voodoos can make people confused. No matter what the person who casts the voodoo tells them, they will only obey the orders. However, these voodoos usually have no effect for a long time.
The short one is only half an hour, and the long one can only last a few days."
"And what about the man who went to seduce the Queen?"
A trace of fear and intolerance appeared on Fuzi's face: "I still remember that man very clearly. He had extraordinary perseverance and a strong temper. Master first used the poison on him, but later found that he couldn't be controlled, so... he controlled him
Became a human poison."
He could never forget the process of his master turning that person into a human gu. Even though he had become accustomed to his master's actions over the years, he was still moved by the cruelty of the process.
"Does your master have any brothers in the same discipline? Among the people he usually associates with, are there any people whose details you don't even know?"
Fuzi thought for a moment: "Master doesn't have any siblings in our lineage. There is often no affection between fellow disciples. I heard Master say before that all my ancestors seemed to have died in his hands."
"So what's strange about his behavior in recent years?"
Fuzi thought about it seriously: "It's a little different... I just don't know if it's an important matter. Master did have contacts with a mysterious person, not many times, maybe once or twice."
"Who is that?"
"They all come at night. I can't see clearly. They are very mysterious. Every time the master meets and talks to that person alone, the door is closed. Every time he leaves, the master always has new decisions and actions." Fuzi.
After thinking about it, I added: "She looks like a woman."
"Is it the body image or the voice image?"
It was hard to tell Aconite now. He had neither seen clearly nor heard the person's voice. It was purely a feeling. People who cultivate gu are also sensitive to the breath of people. For example, some people have masculine breath, and many people have masculine breath.
Poison insects like to feed on the flesh, flesh and spirit of such people. Some people have a feminine and cold breath. Generally speaking, such people are mostly women.
Also, from a distance, the man's walking posture seems a bit erratic, which is a bit different from ordinary men.
I couldn't ask much from him.
"The timing of Old Man Wan Gu's attack was too clever. It seems that he just happened to help the monster."
yes.
This cannot be just a coincidence.
Qiuqiu lowered her head and didn't speak all the way back to her room.
There were so many mysteries in her heart. She couldn't find any answers and they were weighing heavily on her chest.
Why did Master choose to go to Xiuyuan Mountain and die together with his fellow disciples on the mountain?
Her feelings for Xiuyuan Mountain are so deep and heavy that even if there is a glimmer of hope, she will choose to save people.
What happened on Xiuyuan Mountain?
Shi'er didn't make a sound to disturb her thoughts. He sat quietly beside her and waited for Qiuqiu to raise her head before saying, "Let's go back tomorrow."
"Yeah." Qiuqiu's voice was a little erratic, and she suddenly said: "Master Tang was bitten by Huo'er at that time. His appearance reminded me of the time when Jing Fei was possessed."
When Jingfei was exposed, the scene seemed to be engraved in Qiuqiu's mind, making her unable to forget it even if she wanted to.
The situation of Mr. Tang at that time was really like that. That poisonous energy and demonic energy...
But Qiuqiu's bracelet didn't respond at that time.
Of course, this bracelet is not an accurate standard of judgment. After all, it was something hundreds of years ago, and the magic circle runes on it have long been worn and damaged.
Shi'er asked slowly: "What if the people who come into contact with Old Man Wan Gu are also related to monsters?"
Qiuqiu also thought about it, but she didn't dare to think about it in detail.
"Humans and monsters cannot coexist. How can anyone be willing to associate with monsters?"
"Perhaps, as Fuzi said just now, he was poisoned by monsters and manipulated by magic. Or he was greedy for life and afraid of death. In order to survive, even if it was just for one more day, he would kill and betray his own kind."
It's not impossible.
In order to survive, he would sell anything, even his flesh and blood, even his own soul.
Qiuqiu felt that the doubt in her heart became more and more clear: "I remembered what Senior Brother Guan said to me when we went to the trial cave. Jingfei had demonic energy entering her heart at that time, and those who later killed people and devoured their hearts on the mountain were all possessed by them.
The monsters on her body. But at that time when we went down the mountain to the real person in Changyang, his cultivation level was not low, and there were also monsters in the yard.
It is not easy for monsters to take risks and sneak in to attack Jing Fei in the protective magic circle. If you can hide it from Master Changyang and sneak in, why do you only find Jing Fei but turn a blind eye to Master Chang Yang and his apprentice Jintong? That day
Senior Sister Jinglan and I have both gone out alone at night, so it will be easier to attack us."
"What do you suspect?"
"We just mentioned it in a hurry, and I didn't think about it in detail." Qiuqiu felt that the mysteries seemed to be connected, but she couldn't connect them all at the same time. (To be continued. If you like
