This is what I am thinking now, and it is the only thought. The only limitation is that I can't beat Li Bowen, that's all.
I looked at Li Bowen, who seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, and looked at him quietly for a long time.
"So, in order to kill him, you don't hesitate to use me as bait?"
Li Bowen almost said the whole thing in an understatement.
The entire eighteen tiankeng is indeed eighteen tombs, and they are also eighteen tombs of masters from the Maoshan lineage.
These eighteen tombs were built by four families of tomb robbers: Mojin, Xiling, Moving Mountain, and Faqiu. There are many mechanisms in them. However, for some reasons, something went wrong in these eighteen tombs. The mechanisms were destroyed, and then
These eighteen sinkholes were formed.
After that, these eighteen tiankeng villages were targeted by people from the Strange Human Realm. The people in those tiankeng villages were actually no longer alive. They came from the Miao border area, and they had been truly refined into human gu.
It's just that they don't know it.
In other words, all the people in Tiankeng Village are actually dead.
The strange looks I saw them doing before were also for this reason, and the Gu bugs on them were not only the Soul-eating Gu.
As for who is the person controlling them, Li Bowen did not say, but from the looks of him, he most likely has already been dealt with.
Besides this matter, the reason why Li Bowen came here is just as I thought, he came here for me.
Starting from Tanhua Village, the Tanhua Village City God had already set his sights on me. Li Bowen also set his sights on the City God at that time. In his words, he was like a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind.
It's just that I'm a cicada.
He is the oriole.
However, Li Bowen also told me that the Tanhua Village City God was not his main target. His main target was the Taishan Prefecture Lord. He did so much just to force the Tanhua Village City God to lure out the Taishan Prefecture Lord.
Although it only brought out a ray of soul of the Taishan Mansion Lord, it was enough for him.
When I heard Li Bowen say this, I roughly understood in my heart that my cicada was the bait, and Li Bowen and his oriole were not only trying to catch the mantis, but also their helpers.
As for the rest, Li Bowen was unwilling to say more to me.
For example, have I been part of his calculations along the way?
In his words, it would be meaningless even if I knew.
That mysterious look made me grit my teeth.
Facing my question, Li Bowen just shook his head slightly and said, "Even if I don't make arrangements to lure the Tanhua Village City God here, the Tanhua Village City God will still find you in the future."
"Pindao, this is just to let him find you a few steps earlier, and help you solve this problem by the way."
I rolled my eyes and said, "Then do I still have to thank you?"
Li Bowen chuckled: "No need to thank you, because you are a poor Taoist disciple."
"As your master, Pindao should do something for you."
I……
I admit it.
This sentence makes me don't know what to say.
After looking at him again, I sighed. I am lucky to have such a master.
After a while, I said: "Now that the city god is dead, and the soul of Taishan Mansion Lord has also dissipated, your plan can be considered completed."
"What else are you doing?"
Li Bowen said mysteriously: "What Pindao wants to do has nothing to do with you."
I asked: "Aren't you going to Zhongdong Gu Village?"
Li Bowen shook his head and said: "You can just go to Zhongdong Gu Village, but I don't have the time to follow you."
I fell silent.
Li Bowen said again: "But Pindao also brought you a gift this time."
I was stunned for a moment.
Li Bowen took out a small box from his body and handed it to me. The box was made of wood, had a strange fragrance, and had some strange patterns on it.
"What's this?"
"Just open it and take a look." After Li Bowen finished speaking, he stopped talking to me and walked towards the unconscious Zhang Mingyu.
Seeing this, I hesitated and opened the box.
I just glanced at it, my eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and I almost shuddered and threw the box out. When Li Bowen saw this, he glared at me and said, "This thing is very valuable, so be careful."
"
The corner of my mouth couldn't help but twitch.
What's inside this box is a worm.
Golden bug.
It is somewhat similar to the soul-eating Gu that Zhang Mingyu took out from the people of Tanhua Village before, but it is much smaller, only half the size of those soul-eating Gus.
But even so, I couldn't help but feel frightened just by looking at this golden bug. My subconscious told me that this bug was not simple.
"What's this?"
Li Bowen said with a proud look on his face: "The mother worm of the soul-eating Gu."
"Mother worm?" I was a little surprised, "Where did you get it?"
Li Bowen smiled mysteriously, but he had no intention of telling me.
I looked at the golden bug, but I also guessed in my mind that this bug might belong to the person who refined the people of Tiankeng Village into human Gu.
But, what is the use of this insect?
I don't know how to use poison.
I looked at Li Bowen.
Li Bowen seemed to know what I wanted to ask. After checking Zhang Mingyu's situation, he said: "You are going to the Zhongdong Gu Village this time. You can't follow me."
"But with this female insect around, if someone stops you, you only need to take out the female insect, and you can enter at will."
As he spoke, Li Bowen looked at me seriously.
"Pindao, for you..."
I rolled my eyes, put the bug away and interrupted him directly, saying, "You mean, this bug can allow me to safely enter the Zhongdong Gu Village."
Li Bowen gave me a somewhat unhappy look.
He seemed dissatisfied with me for interrupting him.
But he still nodded.
"Pindao..."
"I understand." I nodded. Without waiting for Li Bowen to continue, I glanced at Zhang Mingyu and asked, "How is he?"
Li Bowen was even more unhappy.
After glaring at me, he said angrily: "I can't die."
"This boy is considered to be blessed with great fortune."
"Dare to touch that soul-eating Gu."
I was a little confused and asked, "Didn't you do this to him?"
Li Bowen looked at me like I was an idiot.
"Although he is not Pindao's disciple, he can still be regarded as Pindao's nephew. How could Pindao do this?"
I looked at him suspiciously.
I always feel like there's not too much anywhere.
But I can't tell what's wrong.
That's it... Zhang Mingyu's situation like this really has nothing to do with Li Bowen?
While I was thinking about it, Zhang Mingyu suddenly let out a muffled groan, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth with a 'wow' sound.
Blood is black.
There is also a squirming insect on it.
Moreover, the insect was larger than the previous Soul-Eating Gu, but unlike the white color of the Soul-Eating Gu, this insect was black.
If you don't pay attention to the squirming in the black blood, you really can't see it.
