Chapter 440: Participating in the election of the Great Gu Master
Manu's eyes moved swiftly.
It was undeniable that the young man in front of him was indeed the most gifted person he had encountered in controlling poison over the years, but whether he could beat Ma Liuqi or not, Ma Nu was not sure.
If this young man is lucky and narrowly defeats Ma Liuqi and becomes the new Great Gu Master, then he will not only be lucky enough to read the "Gu King Manual", but he will also be able to accumulate some friendship with the new Great Gu Master.
If he was defeated by Ma Liuqi and lost his life in Zizhudong, he would have just traveled in vain and would not lose anything.
After thinking for a moment, Manu touched the bamboo tube on his waist and said: "I can take you to Zizhudong, but if something happens then, I will not lend you the golden silkworm Gu."
Xiao Yun nodded slightly, "This is natural."
"Well, you go sit inside the ancestral hall for a while. I'll go home and pack my things, and then I'll explain something to my son."
After Manu left, about twenty minutes later, he returned to the ancestral hall.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Well, let's nibble first." Manu threw two golden fried daddies to Xiao Yun.
This fried cake is a favorite delicacy of the Miao people. It is made by adding wet glutinous rice flour and sugar, kneading it evenly, rolling it into round pieces as a cake base, and then frying it in a hot oil pan. It has a sweet and soft texture and can be used as dry food.
On the road, it tastes much better than compressed biscuits.
Xiao Yun was slightly surprised.
Originally, he thought that Manu would eat at home, then pack up and set off with him.
But looking at the other party's behavior, it was obvious that he didn't have time to eat, so he hurriedly fried some fried cakes and took them with him. He carried some things in a simple cloth bag and hurried over.
It seems that Manu is a responsible person. Xiao Yun secretly admired him.
"Thank you, Master Mazhai." Xiao Yun said, taking a bite of the fried rice cake.
Manu waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, let's eat while walking and walk faster. There is still some distance from here to Zizhudong. If it rains, we will probably miss the time."
"
Xiao Yun nodded and followed Manu out of the village.
After coming out of Qingfengdong, Xiao Yun looked back at the houses behind him, which were lined up one after another.
It's time to have lunch at this time, and the smoke rising from the cooking pots is quite the beauty of pastoral life.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yun turned around and followed Manu into the mountain. Their figures gradually disappeared into the vast forest.
…
The whole journey was silent.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them walked in the mountains for three days. During this period, they encountered a heavy rain, which delayed them for a while.
At first, Manu kept urging Xiao Yun, but slowly he discovered that Xiao Yun's endurance was not very good!
My body is considered to be in good shape, but in this rugged mountain, I am exhausted after walking all day.
But Xiao Yun is a good boy. He seems to have endless energy. He even has to do a set of punches before going to bed at night!
This made Manu have to mutter secretly, it seems that time is not forgiving!
The tits on the trees were chirping, and there were occasional sounds of wild boars scurrying through the grass.
Other than that, the entire mountain forest was quiet, as if only the trees were breathing.
Manu raised his hand above his eyes, squinted and looked into the distance, and said: "Shi Yun, over the two mountains in front, you will find Zizhu Cave."
"We were delayed a lot of time on the road due to the heavy rain. I guess they have already started fighting Gu by now, so we have to go faster!"
Xiao Yun was a little excited when he thought that the "Gu King's Manual" also contained methods to remove soul-obsessing spells. Before Ma Nu finished urging him, he put some force on his feet and walked forward faster.
After climbing over two mountains, Xiao Yun's eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw that Zizhudong is located under a hill. There is a clear stream passing through the entrance of the village. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. This is just the scene in front of me.
From a distance, Xiao Yun could feel the lively atmosphere in the village. He thought that at today's Great Gu Master Selection Conference, there should be many Gu masters from other villages.
Xiao Yun strode forward.
However, Manu seemed a little nervous. He hugged the bamboo tube containing the golden silkworm Gu with both hands and carefully looked around the village.
Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Ma Liuqi, are you worried that after entering the village later, if the golden silkworm's aura is sensed by Ma Liuqi, the other party may have thoughts and may be disadvantageous to you?
?”
Manu's face was startled, a little surprised that Xiao Yun could guess what he was thinking.
"Well, although my Gu skills are among the best in Qingfengdong, compared with that old thief, they are still far behind." Manu sighed softly, acquiescing to Xiao Yun's guess.
In fact, as early as five years ago at the Great Gu Master Selection Meeting, Ma Nu was defeated miserably at the hands of Ma Liuqi.
Even though I caught a centipede that I had raised with all my heart, I managed to save my life.
However, Na Ma Liuqi humiliated Ma Nu in public and reduced his voodoo skills to nothing!
From then on, no one in Qingfengdong dared to run for the position of Great Gu Master.
Xiao Yun smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and said: "Master Ma Village, please pass the bamboo tube to me."
Hearing this, Manu hurriedly held the bamboo tube in his arms and said vigilantly: "Little baby, didn't we agree? I am only responsible for bringing you to this Zizhu Cave. As for how you fight with the old thief,
, that’s your business, I won’t lend you the golden silkworm.”
Xiao Yun was a little dumbfounded and said: "Master Ma Village, you misunderstood, I just wanted to hide the aura of the golden silkworm."
Although the Golden Silkworm Gu can hide the evil energy on its own, at this selection meeting, all kinds of powerful poisonous insects gathered, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Golden Silkworm will not actively release the evil energy tree power again, so Xiao Yun decided to seal the evil energy of the Golden Silkworm Gu with his own hands.
Manu narrowed his eyes and asked with some doubt, "Are you really not planning to use my golden silkworm to fight Gu?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yun smiled helplessly and said frankly: "Master Mazhai, to tell you the truth, if I want to get back the Golden Silkworm Gu, I only need one word to make the Golden Silkworm leave your side on its own initiative, and you won't even stop me.
Can’t stop!”
Hearing this, Manu was shocked and seemed to think that he was bragging.
But recalling the scene where Xiao Yun gave the golden silkworm to himself, Manu was shaken.
At that time, Xiao Yun only used a simple sentence to make the originally rebellious Golden Silkworm become docile and obedient.
Thinking of this, Manu couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This golden silkworm Gu had to serve him entirely because he was afraid of Xiao Yun.
This guy is definitely not bragging when he says he can take back the golden silkworm in one sentence, he can really do it!
