Hearing these two words, He Feng and Xin Chen both felt unbelievable.
To put it bluntly, mortal objects mean things that have not reached the spiritual level, but are only of mortal quality, and are also things for mortals to use.
Therefore, when monks generally think of ordinary things, they will only think of those ordinary things. To put it bluntly, they look down upon them very much.
But now, there are mortal beings killing people under their noses, and they still have no idea what is going on!
This strong sense of impact made them not believe what Xia Po said and still thought it was a spiritual insect.
Naturally, Xia Po could see through the thoughts of these two little guys at a glance.
He stirred it with a wooden stick, and after completely burning the Gu insect, a black smoke rose up.
Then, he looked at the two people.
"If it is a spiritual insect as you said, how could it not have any spiritual power fluctuations at all?"
This sentence awakened two people.
If this is really a spiritual insect, it is impossible for them not to feel any fluctuations in spiritual power when the spiritual insect kills people.
Even if Xinchen didn't feel it, it was impossible for He Feng, who had spiritual eyes, not to feel it.
So the only thing that can be explained is what Xia Po said, that this thing is a mortal thing!
But...but a mortal thing can be so weird!
This is unscientific!
He Feng looked at Xia Po, and then at the black smoke floating in the sky after burning the Gu insects. After making sure that he couldn't see anything, he asked Xia Po.
"What exactly is this Gu you are talking about? Is it really just a mortal thing?"
Xia Po nodded.
"It's 100% a mortal thing, something used by mortals, but it's not the same as the Gu I know."
As he spoke, he threw the wooden stick into the fire and burned it. When the wooden stick was completely burned, he spoke.
"There is a kind of evil technique spread among mortals, called cultivating gu. In fact, to put it bluntly, it means using some highly toxic bugs themselves, feeding them some herbs, making these bugs very potent, and then letting them
Attack and cannibalize each other.
In the end, only one of the many poisonous insects will survive, and the surviving one will eat all the poisonous insects and finally enter a deep sleep state.
At this time, the people who keep the poison will use special powder and some other methods to transform the poisonous insect and turn it into a poisonous insect!"
After listening to the method of making Gu worms, Xin and Chen only felt their scalps numb.
Isn’t it true that only demon cultivators can play with such weird things?
As a result, now they are actually told that mortals have started to play, which is more or less unacceptable.
"I just heard someone say it accidentally. I thought it was just a legend spread among mortals, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Then you just took a look, how can you be sure that this is a Gu insect?"
He Feng thought for a long time, but still couldn't accept that mortals could create such weird things.
In her eyes, mortals are just a group of pitiful people with short lifespans and are as weak as ants. They can only be slaughtered by demonic cultivators.
To put it bluntly, they look down on mortals, and even think that those who have the qualifications to cultivate are those favored by heaven and are the real human race. Mortals are not considered human beings at all.
It's not her fault, it's quite normal for a monk to have this kind of mentality.
After all, the gap between monks and mortals is there, it’s really too big!
So Xia Po just opened his mouth to explain.
"Actually, I didn't believe it at first, but when you said that the old farmer's son took the herbal medicine when he left, and used the herbal medicine to combine it, it was not a spiritual insect, but an insect that could kill people instantly, I immediately thought of that legend.
I thought about whether someone asked the old farmer's son to get herbs to grow Gu.
Legend has it that after the voodoo worm is used again, it will find a way to escape from the human body. Just now, the old farmer vomited out the bug even though he was dead. Isn't this the human body that the voodoo worm escaped from?
After thinking about it, the only way to explain everything is to say it is a poisonous insect."
He Feng was completely in shock. The concept of mortals was completely subverted in her heart.
It's like when you were in school, there was a quiet classmate in the class. You thought he had an honest and friendly personality, but you found out that he was having more fun than anyone else behind your back. It was almost as shocking as that.
Xia Po hasn't finished speaking yet.
"My guess is that the guy who raises voodoos is probably using this village, or even several villages, to raise voodoos. In order to prevent these villagers from telling the truth about their voodoo raising, he put a trick on every villager.
Poisoned!"
"You mean, the old farmer died because he wanted to tell us about this?"
"That's right!"
After receiving Xia Po's affirmative answer, He Feng felt his heart tremble.
After all, she is relatively young, and she has always stayed in the sect, accepting the indoctrination of the so-called human ethics and morals of the righteous sect, and is bound by these things.
So when I learned that the old farmer died because of the three of them, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
This made her even more shocked by the existence of Gu. This thing is comparable to the spells in the world of cultivation, right?
But she thought about it carefully. Although this thing could kill a mortal under the noses of the three of them, it would not be noticed by the three of them. It was weird, but it might not be lethal to the three of them!
So a decision was made immediately.
"I'm going to go find this guy who raises Gu first. After all, the old farmer died because of us. If nothing else, I have to avenge him. He's just a mortal. The three of us can solve it very quickly, right?"
Xinchen didn't have any ideas. After hearing what He Feng said, he also wanted to avenge the old farmer, so he looked at Xia Po.
It was obvious that the two of them were waiting for Xia Po to speak.
Because this time they came out to practice, they finally understood the huge gap between themselves and Xia Po.
This gap is not only in cultivation, but also in knowledge, handling of things, etc.
Xia Po was obviously not much older than them, but his level of excellence far surpassed theirs.
Even now, they are starting to regret not following Xia Po's suggestion, knocking out two villagers directly, and then pretending to be those two villagers to get information.
If we do that, at least this old farmer will not be sacrificed for no reason.
So although no one said it clearly, the two of them actually regarded Xia Po as their leader, so they naturally had to follow Xia Po's advice in such matters.
Looking at the eyes of the two of them, Xia Po fell into thinking.
In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, this voodoo was no ordinary voodoo, and the person who raised the voodoo couldn't be a mortal either.
Because he understands that making Gu is quite complicated. How many Gu insects can a mortal raise in his lifetime?
Anyway, when he was in the mortal world, if he could raise four or five, he was considered a top Gu master.
Therefore, it is definitely not something that a mortal can accomplish if everyone in this village is to be infested with Gu insects.
Things are very likely to develop in a bad direction, for example, a monk has mastered the technology of combining spiritual insects and spiritual grass to cultivate higher-end Gu insects!
Xia Po would definitely not allow such a thing to happen, so he wanted to let his own body handle this matter.
But...
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Since the Gu worm has not turned into a spiritual worm, it proves that the matter has not developed to that extent. In this way, he can handle it with these two guys.
Moreover, it is necessary to let them understand not to look down on anyone or anything.
Even mortal objects and mortals may kill monks if they are careless!
In the world of cultivation, it is very dangerous to underestimate something easily.
So he turned to look at the two of them and said solemnly.
"You can, you can, but let me say it up front. I have only heard of this voodoo. I don't know anything about it. I don't know what the person who raises voodoo is. I have no idea at all.
Under such circumstances, avenging an old farmer whom you didn't even recognize before may very well cost you your own life, are you really willing to do so?"
