Chapter 361 Exiting the Immortal Gate, Goodbye Zhang Mingyu!
"But if I follow what you said."
"What's in that pit."
"I might know what it is."
"What is it?" I became interested.
Zhang Mingyu took a deep breath and said: "Human Gu!"
Human poison?
"As the name suggests, human voodoo is voodoo made from humans."
"This kind of Gu is made from living people. It is considered a taboo even in Miao territory because it is too cruel and requires killing human lives."
"But the things you mentioned are somewhat different from the human Gu I know."
Zhang Mingyu looked at me and said: "According to what you said, those eighteen weird things came from the coffins in the eighteen sinkholes, which means they may have existed for a long time."
"This shows that the old man may not be the one who made those things."
"But he can control those things."
"So?" I didn't quite understand.
Zhang Mingyu took a deep breath and said, "We may be in trouble."
"Speak clearly." I didn't understand even more.
Zhang Mingyu then continued: "If those eighteen things are human poison, and the old eighteen are from Maoshan, then this matter means that it is a matter of the Maoshan and Miao border."
"Now we're involved."
Zhang Mingyu took a deep breath.
"If this is just a matter for the eighteen old people, then it's okay. If it's not..."
He hesitated to speak.
But I finally understood.
What he was worried about wasn't Lao Shiba.
Rather, I am worried that there may be something to do with Maoshan and Miaojiang behind this incident.
If there is a relationship, then the nature of this matter has completely changed.
But I think this possibility is very small. After all, if the things here are related to Maoshan and Miaojiang, Lao Ba will not be left to do it.
So this incident may just be the behavior of Lao Shiba alone.
Thinking of this, I said: "This is unlikely."
Zhang Mingyu looked at me.
I said: "I haven't discovered anything else in the past few days since I came here. From beginning to end, Lao Shiba was doing these things alone."
"If this place has something to do with those two veins, I don't think it would just be Lao Shiba who would do it."
Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
"Maybe I'm thinking too much."
"Then what do you think now?"
"Help Tiankeng Village solve this matter?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "I would like to leave here directly and go to the Zhongdong Gu Village, but since we have encountered it, it is not an option to just sit back and ignore it."
"And to tell you the truth, I have a vague feeling that this place has something to do with me."
"Although what the relationship is, I can't tell you for a while."
I tell the truth.
This is also what worries me the most right now.
Hearing what I said, Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "I also have this idea."
"Although I came here just to try my luck and see if I can find you."
"Now that I have found you and this happened again, as a disciple of Tianshi Mountain, I cannot just sit back and ignore it. Otherwise, if word spreads, it will bring shame to the elders of the sect."
Speaking of this, Zhang Mingyu looked at me seriously and said, "Junior brother Li, as the young master of the Nanyin lineage."
"You should also have the idea of helping the world and saving people."
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I will take you to find the insect first."
Zhang Mingyu sighed and nodded slightly.
Not long after, Zhang Mingyu and I returned to Tiankeng Village.
At this time, Tiankeng Village was still silent. Zhang Mingyu and I walked into a house. The owner of the house was lying on the bed. He was not as weird as when I saw him before.
I'm not surprised by this, because the appearance of Zhang Mingyu should have made Lao Shiba somewhat apprehensive. Before Zhang Mingyu leaves, he may not do anything for the time being.
But if Zhang Mingyu never leaves, Lao Shiba may make other choices.
For example, get rid of Zhang Mingyu.
It was like he took me to that pit that day and then wanted to kill me.
It's just a pity that Lao Shiba will be disappointed this time.
Looking at the sleeping owner of the house, Zhang Mingyu didn't seem to be worried about being discovered at all, so he took out a talisman and stuck it on the forehead of the owner.
The owner's eyes opened suddenly, but closed again after a moment.
I looked at it, a little surprised.
Zhang Mingyu whispered: "If there are bugs on him, then just let him enter a state of suspended animation. If the bugs on him can't feel his breath, they will think that he is no longer useful and will choose to leave this body.
Looking for the next host."
I asked: "How do you know?"
Zhang Mingyu explained: "The Miao border poison is not a secret. Although it is extremely difficult to solve, we in Tianshi Mountain have also developed some methods to deal with it over the years."
"However, this method of suspended animation is only useful for some common Gu insects. If it is some special Gu insects or insect mothers, even if the body they enter has no breath, they will not choose to leave, but will choose to leave.
Their essence and blood have also been sucked completely."
"I hope the bugs in this body are just ordinary Gu bugs."
As he spoke, Zhang Mingyu focused his eyes on that person.
I didn't ask any more questions and just stared at it with Zhang Mingyu.
At this time, the owner of the house had indeed entered a state of suspended animation. Even standing next to him, I didn't feel a breath or a weak heartbeat.
As time passed by, Zhang Mingyu stared intently.
Until ten minutes passed, Zhang Mingyu's eyes suddenly shrank slightly, and his face became a little more happy.
"Yes."
"Be careful!"
"As soon as the Gu insect appears, it will immediately look for someone with the aura of life to join. Once it is infected by him, it will be extremely troublesome."
When I heard this, I quickly took a few steps back.
I can catch ghosts, fight zombies and kill city gods, but I really don’t want to touch this thing.
Especially when I think about the appearance of that insect, I feel sick in my heart.
As expected.
Not long after Zhang Mingyu finished speaking, the owner of the bed opened his mouth, and then a white bug the size of an index finger crawled out of his mouth, looking very disgusting like a maggot.
"It is indeed a Gu insect."
Zhang Mingyu's eyes were sharp, and he took out a talisman at the same time, then bit his fingertip, smeared the blood on the talisman, and then covered the white insect with the talisman.
The white insect struggled violently in an instant, but after struggling for a while, it lost its breath and fell straight to the ground, covered by the talisman paper.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Mingyu picked it up along with the talisman. After taking a look at it, Zhang Mingyu took a breath and exclaimed involuntarily.
