Chapter 69: Gu Worms Choose Their Hosts to Parasitize
Ouyang Ming said without any doubt: "I will accompany you."
With his sight blocked, Ouyang Ming lowered his head and kissed Jiang Zhiyue gently on the top of his head, his eyes full of heartache.
He held Jiang Zhiyue's body to prevent her from sliding down, and put one hand on her back to send internal energy into her body to relieve her pain.
At this moment, outside, the father and son of the Ming family also rushed over. As soon as they arrived, Ming Yuanqing was about to rush inside.
Mingyun quickly stopped her and looked at her with disapproval.
"Master Ouyang is with Miss Jiang inside. Don't go in and cause trouble."
Ming Yuanqing was so anxious that she almost cried. She hesitated and said: "Sister Jiang, Zhiyue... no, that Gu insect got into Sister Jiang's body!"
Hearing Ming Yuanqing's words, the other three people opened their eyes in shock.
Mingyun asked: "What kind of Gu insect?"
Ming Yuanqing took a look inside, but there were lush shrubs around the spring forming a natural barrier, and she couldn't see anything.
Ming Yun urged her again, and then Ming Yuanqing turned her eyes back.
She said: "It's the Gu worm I've newly refined in the past few days, but it hasn't been refined yet. I just heard mother, you said to ask Zhiyue to come to the spring water, and then I remembered that the Gu worm has disappeared.
, it must have gone into Zhiyue’s body.”
Ming Yuanqing almost burst into tears as he spoke. Every member of his tribe would have a Gu insect selected by the elders from birth as a co-born Gu.
Tongsheng Gu, as the name suggests, is a Gu insect that lives and dies with its owner.
It needs to be nourished with blood from the moment a Gu insect is selected, but their family nourishes the Tongsheng Gu for several years before the nourishment is successful, and then the Tongsheng Gu is allowed to enter the body.
Unexpectedly, this half-finished Gu worm went directly into Jiang Zhiyue's body.
Tomorrow's brows furrowed, and there was a rebuke in his voice as he asked: "What kind of Gu insect did you refine?"
Ming Yuanqing was frightened by her father's serious voice. She tapped her two fingers together uneasily and said weakly: "Just... we are both poisonous!"
Ming Yixi also looked at his stupid sister and asked: "Don't you already have the same life Gu? Why did you refine another one?"
Ming Yuanqing saw that the three of them were looking at him, so he had no choice but to say weakly that he wanted Ouyang Ming to stay and become her husband, but was afraid that the people in the clan would not agree because he was not a member of the same clan.
Originally, Ming Yuanqing planned to use the same-born Gu on Ouyang Ming, but he forgot about it after Jiang Zhiyue and Ouyang Ming arrived.
I didn't expect that the Gu insect would sneak out and choose its own master to be a parasite.
When Ming Yun heard what Ming Yuanqing said, she was so angry that she slapped her hands in the air.
Upon seeing this, the father and son of the Ming family quickly stopped the angry Ming Yun, and the other pulled his stupid sister away.
Ming Yixi persuaded: "Mom, even if I blame my sister, it won't change anything at this point. Let's wait and see if Miss Jiang can come out safely."
Tomorrow also said in a low voice: "Don't you always doubt whether these two people are the people that the ancestor mentioned before he died? We just need to see if this girl can come out safely."
"snort!"
Ming Yun snorted coldly and glared at Ming Yuanqing.
Ming Yuanqing was so frightened that she hid behind her brother again.
No one can interfere with the fusion of Tongsheng Gu and the host's body. The four people outside can only wait eagerly.
They waited from a little light to full light, but the two people inside didn't come out.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyue and Ouyang Ming were still soaking in the spring water blocked by bushes.
Jiang Zhiyue felt waves of heat coming out of her heart and spreading to all parts of her body.
The cold spring water was just enough to suppress the heat in her body, so Jiang Zhiyue felt that she would not be scalded directly.
Ouyang Ming also sent internal energy into Jiang Zhiyue's body over and over again to clear her meridians.
However, due to excessive internal energy loss, his lips turned white from the cold, and a layer of frost condensed on his eyebrows.
I don't know how much time passed, but Jiang Zhiyue could still feel the Gu worm in her heart even without using her powers to detect it.
The light on the Gu insect lying at her heart was bright and dim.
I don't know how long it took, but the burning sensation in Jiang Zhiyue's body slowly subsided, and her face didn't look so ugly.
From beginning to end, Ouyang Ming supported Jiang Zhiyue's weak body and prevented her from falling.
The sky turned from bright to dark again.
Jiang Zhiyue said softly in Ouyang Ming's arms: "A Ming, take me out."
She also wanted to go out by herself, but her legs were really weak, so she had to trouble Ouyang Ming.
Hearing this, Ouyang Ming looked down at her, held her up and weighed her up, then used the crook of one hand to support her legs and picked her up.
The burning sensation in the body faded away, leaving only the biting cold.
Jiang Zhiyue lay in Ouyang Ming's arms and rubbed his chest, which was also wet.
When people outside heard the commotion, Mingyun raised her voice and asked, "Mr. Ouyang, is Miss Jiang okay?"
When Ouyang Ming heard their voices, his eyes felt cold.
He hasn't found out why Zhiyue became like this, but it must have something to do with this place, so he doesn't plan to talk to them.
Jiang Zhiyue thought of the Gu worm in her body and had a rough guess as to why she became like this.
She looked up and saw Ouyang Ming's unswerving expression, but she didn't say anything out loud.
She is already in such pain, A Ming can do it if he wants to.
The people outside didn't hear the answer, so they paused and then continued: "The spring water is cold. I brought clean clothes. If Mr. Ouyang doesn't mind, I will go in and help Miss Jiang change her clothes."
Ouyang Ming lowered his head and looked at Jiang Zhiyue's face turning from red to pale, and finally stopped insisting.
He wouldn't mind changing Zhiyue's clothes himself, but Zhiyue probably wouldn't want to.
He first whispered to Jiang Zhiyue: "I'll ask her to come in and help you change your clothes."
After saying that, he turned towards the outside and said, "Come in."
Ming Yixi felt a little unhappy when she heard Ouyang Ming's commanding tone, and Mingyun gave him a warning look.
Ming Yun walked in with two pairs of clothes. Ming Yuanqing also wanted to follow, but Ming Ri and Ming Yixi quickly stopped her.
After Mingyun entered, she saw Jiang Zhiyue being held in the arms of Princess Ouyang Ming.
She walked over with a calm expression and handed one of her clothes to Ouyang Ming.
"Master Ouyang, please find a place to change."
Ouyang Ming wanted to refuse, but Mingyun said again: "Otherwise Miss Jiang will still be wet by you even if she changes her clothes."
Ouyang Ming glanced at Mingyun coldly, carefully placed Jiang Zhiyue on the flat ground, and took the clothes Mingyun handed over with a steady expression.
