After hearing Gu Ling's words, I couldn't help but be startled.
Bringing natal Gu would break their rules.
"The natal Gu is not an idle Gu. If you bring it into the stronghold, you will be provoking it."
Gu Ling saw my confusion and explained.
I gasped and said, "There are so many rules in this village."
"The living people in the village don't know, and they are restrained by Bai Yu'e, so they can't take care of it. However, those gods and ghosts who are worshiped by the village's incense will definitely not give up."
Gu Ling said.
I thought for a while and agreed with Gu Ling's judgment.
Before the Gu god Ma Ermao was introduced to Qingyadong, Qingyadong had fed the Gu god alive.
After Ma Ermao's soul was shattered.
Other supernatural beings in the cave must still exist.
In order to maintain the rules of Qingyadong, they chased after him.
As for why Ma Kaishan was asked to take the lead, as he said, people are old and ghosts are old.
Those ghosts and gods are all old ghosts who have been around for many years.
So he tricked the new ghost Ma Kaishan into serving as a pawn.
"In your opinion, how many old ghosts are here?"
I became nervous, holding the jar, and found some red threads from the bamboo basket as a magic weapon to deal with ghosts.
"They should be hiding in the dense forest outside the cave. I can't sense them for the time being. However, I definitely won't be able to hide them tonight. Just use your life Gu to help you."
Gu Ling said.
I thought to myself, Makiko was injured to begin with, but now she fainted.
It is difficult for us to escape on such a cold night.
The only way is to fight them.
After thinking for a moment, I asked: "Gu spirits, do they know you exist?"
The Gu spirit said: "I hide in the clay pot and only show up here, so they don't know my existence."
"In this case, don't show your face for the time being. When I call out the word "Golden Silkworm", you will rush out with a fierce look."
I make a plan.
At the moment, I don't know their reality at all.
Although, each Gu God only needs to take care of Qingyadong for fifty years before it can reincarnate freely.
There will definitely be some who are unwilling to reincarnate.
Or, if you fail to raise the Gu God, you will directly become a ghost and stay in the corpse cave.
Therefore, there is no way of knowing how many old ghosts came.
Since you don’t know the other party’s truth.
I can't show all my strength at once.
"I understand what you mean, I'm waiting for your signal."
The Gu spirit recognized my plan, nodded, put away his body, and hid in the cave.
I smoked a half-burnt fire stick and strode out.
I suddenly understood.
Why can these old ghosts run out of Qingyadong tonight?
The reason is that when Bai Yu'e killed Ma Ermao, she crushed the token that controlled the Qingyadong Gu God.
Losing the control token gives you another reason to settle accounts with me.
So, these ghosts and gods came all at once.
I gasped, what I was about to face was not just a few, but a whole cave of old ghosts.
In the second half of the night, the moonlight shone coldly, the wind was as cold as a knife, and there were jackdaws wailing all around.
I looked toward the dense forest to the west.
There is a strong evil spirit floating around, and fierce murderous intent is constantly coming.
The pressure is extremely strong.
Just one face-to-face encounter made me break out in cold sweat on my back.
"Camellia Cave is born in winter. It was not my intention to bring my life Gu into Qingyadong this time."
"It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. We all belong to the Thirteenth Cave in Miao territory, and we all worship Master Chi You. If I have been rude in any way, please forgive me."
I shouted loudly.
Be polite first and then fight.
It can be considered that I took the initiative to show weakness.
There was silence all around, except for the howling of the cold wind.
I yelled and said: "Without the token restriction, you old ghosts should hurry up and reincarnate. If you want to cause trouble for me, show up as soon as possible. Don't delay my sleeping time."
A gust of cold wind blew by.
"You just need to kneel down and admit your mistake, and admit that Qingyadong's Gu is far better than Camellia Dong's, and Seven Color Gu is better than Golden Silkworm Gu."
"I will kill you, but I won't torture you. Your friends can leave alive."
A voice came.
"I want to eat his dog eyes. Why do you think he has eyes but no eyes?"
Another voice sounded.
My heart trembled, there really was more than one old ghost.
For ordinary people, it may be a gift to be able to die happily without being tortured by poisonous insects.
But to me, it is clearly a shame.
I have been tortured by poisonous insects for a long time.
For fear of pain, you choose to kneel down. Who are you looking down on?
Besides, I have nothing to do with the old golden silkworm in Camellia Cave.
But the golden silkworm Gu is the number one insect in Miao territory, and this is obvious to all.
"Fuck! You old ghosts really have a big appetite. Even if I'm full of poison, you wouldn't dare to eat it for you."
Instead of retreating, I took six steps forward.
For a moment, I was extremely courageous.
Evil ghosts have always been afraid of evil people.
If I were as timid as a mouse and begged, they would look down upon me.
"You maggots hiding in the dark are worthy of me kneeling down."
"Come on, get out of here and let me see what you look like. You're so fucked up."
I yelled loudly, and my heart beat faster.
At this moment, a red aura emerged from the edge of the oil paper on the mouth of the natal Gu jar, and it enveloped my body.
I am very happy that my life Gu is connected with me.
At this critical moment, it sensed my determination.
Distribute the resentful spirit it carries on the surface of my body.
"I haven't seen such a young man in many years who is not afraid of death."
"I think his blood must be delicious."
Countless pairs of red eyes were exposed in the dense forest, blinking constantly, looking particularly scary.
Discussions continued.
"howl!"
Suddenly, a howl sounded in the forest.
The noisy discussion stopped abruptly.
Immediately, a man with a foul breath strode over.
Every time he took a step, black energy swept up.
Finally, he stopped three meters away.
Under the moonlight, long shadows were cast.
His body was covered with scorpions, and his skin looked more like a scorpion's hard shell. Even his face had the color and texture of a scorpion.
I took a breath of air.
This thing is either a human or a ghost!
wrong.
More like a scorpion monster.
His eyes were pale, and the black pupils had completely disappeared.
"What's the name of your...gu insect?"
He suddenly spoke.
He spoke very slowly, pronouncing almost every word.
It probably has to do with the fact that he hasn't spoken for a long time.
"Destiny Gu."
I responded calmly.
"Bringing Gu insects into Qingyadong requires a Gu fight with Qingyadong. The winner will live and the loser will die."
"But now, the life of Qingyadong's strongest seven-color Gu hangs by a thread."
"I know that your natal Gu is about to recover, and it's easy to defeat the Seven Snake Gu."
He still spoke slowly.
I listened patiently, looked him directly in the eyes, and asked, "So, what are you going to do?"
"I caught up with you today. I don't want to try with your natal Gu. I want to try another insect." When he said these words, his originally dead eyes suddenly changed.
