Chapter 416: Small Punishment and Great Commandment
Hearing this, Hu Yueping was startled at first, then smiled sarcastically and asked: "How do you know that my Gu insect is dead? Could it be that... you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yun looked calm and nodded.
"Last night, the golden silkworm Gu kept wandering outside our house. Finally, I saw that it just ate your Gu and had no intention of harming anyone in the house, so I left it alone."
Hearing this, Hu Yueping almost laughed out of anger.
If there was a Gu insect approaching last night, would I not have noticed it?!
What's more, it's a poisonous insect with such evil power as the Golden Silkworm Gu!
Xiao Yun, a country bumpkin, is a complete layman when it comes to Gu magic. What can he know?
If the Golden Silkworm Gu was really found last night, I'm afraid he would be the first one to die in his sleep!
He actually said it in a convincing way, as if he really saw the golden silkworm Gu. Why are you pretending?
Hu Yueping was too lazy to expose him. He sneered and said to Chi Hong: "Master Chi, I will go back to the village first to get my Gu worms back. Please wait for me for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the village.
Looking at Hu Yueping's leaving figure, Chi Hong was a little worried that he would make things worse. After thinking about it, he suggested: "Master, why don't we follow him and have a look."
Xiao Yun said calmly: "It's okay. He took the blame first and won't cause any trouble."
Chi Hong was confused after hearing this, but he didn't ask any more questions, so he found a big rock next to him and sat down.
After Hu Yueping returned to the village, he struggled for nearly half an hour. Not to mention the traces of the Iron Heart Worm, he couldn't even find the slightest breath of the Iron Heart Worm!
The old Miao man was even more angry and annoyed. He blushed and swore that it was impossible for people in the village to steal poison.
"In our village, every household that wants to raise Gu must first ask for permission from the Golden Silkworm Empress. If the Golden Silkworm Empress does not agree, they will not be able to raise it. How could I steal a Gu that would hit the Golden Silkworm Empress?
Where are the insects?!”
Hu Yueping snorted coldly and said: "Yesterday I spent the night in your village, and today my Gu worm disappeared. Who else stole it if you didn't?!"
The old man blushed with anxiety and his neck was thick, and explained: "I let you stay in my house last night, and I went to sleep with my son for the night."
"I have never left the stilt house where my son lives. How could I steal your Gu worms? Little baby, you must have made a mistake!"
Hu Yueping sneered and said: "It is said that unruly people come out of poor mountains and harsh waters, and it is true!"
"You Miao people from the big ravine must be crazy because you stole my Iron Heart Worm and wanted to sell it for money!"
After hearing this and looking at Hu Yueping's domineering appearance, the old man and several Miao people who were watching felt very uncomfortable.
Yesterday they kindly took Hu Yueping in for a night, but today, not only did he not express his gratitude, but before the matter was clear, he treated them as thieves and said such unpleasant words.
The old man couldn't bear it anymore and replied angrily: "Little baby, your poison was hidden in the cave outside the stockade last night. I didn't leave the stockade all night. The people guarding the stockade at the door can testify!"
"You said I stole your Gu, do you have any evidence? My family is indeed poor, but I would never do such a sneaky thing!"
The corners of Hu Yueping's eyes twitched a few times, and he didn't know how to refute it for a moment. He really didn't have any evidence to prove that the old man stole his Gu.
The old man continued to ask: "Little baby, are your Gu insects raised from insects under the Yellow River?"
"So what?" Hu Yueping said aggressively.
The old man frowned and said: "The bugs under the Yellow River are very evil! If the refined Gu bugs don't have some skills, let alone steal them, even if they get close, they will be injured by the evil spirit!"
"If the people in our village had that kind of ability to control the poison, how could they have allowed the golden silkworm Gu to run rampant for so many years?!"
In fact, after the death of the Gu master who raised the golden silkworm Gu, there was indeed no one with strong Gu skills in the village.
Last night, the old man refused to let Hu Yueping bring the Iron Heart Worm into the stockade. In addition to worrying about hitting the golden silkworm Gu, he was also worried that the people in the stockade would be harmed.
At this time, the expression on the face of an old woman next to her suddenly changed. She rushed forward and covered the old man's mouth, yelling: "What are you talking about?!"
Only then did the old man realize that he had said the wrong thing, and his eyes were full of panic. He quickly turned around, knelt down towards the east, kowtowed and worshiped, clasped his hands and chanted.
"I was confused for a moment and said the wrong thing. Don't blame the Golden Silkworm Empress... Don't blame the Golden Silkworm Empress..."
After hearing what the old man said just now, Hu Yueping's anger subsided a bit.
It's not because what the other party said is reasonable, but the old man's words are equivalent to indirectly praising his own powerful Gu skills.
Only you can control a powerful Gu insect like the Iron Heart Insect. They, the poor ghosts in the mountains, really don't have the ability or the courage to control it.
However, my Gu was indeed lost in this small village.
Thinking of this, Hu Yueping sneered and said: "Haha, it's hard to say... you are jealous of my extraordinary voodoo and want to rely on it to subdue the golden silkworm voodoo, so you took the risk to steal the voodoo!"
"Little baby! Your Gu is hidden outside the stockade. I haven't left the stockade all night, so how can I steal it?!"
The old man's eyes were red with anxiety, and his body was trembling slightly because of his anxiety.
Hearing this, Hu Yueping stopped pretending and said: "To tell you the truth, I didn't put the Gu worm in the cave outside at all, but always carried it with me!"
"We lived in your stilted building last night, and you were the only one who could come in and steal my Gu worms without anyone noticing. I wonder what you have to say now!"
Hearing this, the old man was startled.
This time, he no longer insisted on explaining his innocence. Instead, he widened his eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "You, what did you say? Did you bring the Gu insects... into the village?!"
"So what?" Hu Yueping raised his eyebrows.
The old man stayed for a few seconds, then suddenly stamped his feet and cursed: "What the fuck! I'm so old and confused!"
"Before entering the village last night, you suddenly vomited blood, and I felt something was wrong! But at that time, I saw that you didn't have the evil spirit of the Gu insect, so I just thought that I was overthinking it. Who knew, you actually... ugh!"
The old man walked back and forth on the spot for a few steps, his face serious, and he kept muttering words like "It's over, we've caused trouble."
Sudden.
The old man paused, raised his head, looked at Hu Yueping, and asked: "Little baby, did you feel any discomfort when you woke up this morning?"
Hu Yueping was confused by this sudden question. He frowned and shook his head, "No."
"Okay... great, great!"
The old man's face was filled with joy, and he seemed to be relieved. He patted his shoulder and said, "Little baby, you violated a taboo last night and brought Gu insects into the village without authorization. Originally, the Golden Silkworm Empress must not have
I will let you go..."
"But now it seems that it was your Gu that blocked the disaster for you!"
Hearing this, Hu Yueping became more and more confused and asked: "What do you mean?"
"It means that Lady Jincan didn't care and let us live. She just ate your poison. A small punishment but a big warning!" the old man said, shaking his head.
"You fart!" Hu Yueping cried out and said angrily: "Do you think my iron-hearted bug is easy to mess with? Eat it as you say! Stop fooling me here!"
Although he said this, in fact, at this moment, Hu Yueping also had some doubts in his heart, whether his Gu was really eaten by the golden silkworm Gu.
After all, he couldn't detect the slightest breath of iron-hearted insects in the village all morning, which was really weird!
