Chapter 153: All the harsh words are templates

She folded the talisman into the shape of a little man.

The paper man passed through the keyhole easily. Gu Ji set up a barrier around him, sat cross-legged, and his sight and the substitute talisman paper entered the passage inside the well.

A strong yin energy is gathered here, and countless wronged souls live in the long corridor.

The last time I went to the underworld, the King of Hell mentioned that in the past ten years, many people who committed serious crimes and were punished by law had their souls disappear.

They had been looking for evil spirits for a long time but couldn't find them, but now they saw several of them here.

The inside of the well was like a small prison cell. Each room was very narrow and the walls were covered with moss. If you looked closely, you could see that each brick was engraved with sealing runes. These runes gathered the Yin energy here and used it to create a completely enclosed space to suppress the things imprisoned here.

This corridor is very long.

Gu Ji controlled the talisman paper substitute and walked forward for nearly half an hour before finally seeing the direction to turn left.

She leaned over to look, and turned left. The road was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

The other side is a dead end.

Gu Ji chose to turn right.

At the moment when the talisman paper substitute was about to hit the wall, the barrier was broken and a pair of hands grabbed the talisman paper substitute.

Along with the sound of the old record player, Gu Ji saw a handsome uncle who was about forty years old.

He wore black sunglasses and a well-tailored suit, his cufflinks shining beautifully in the light.

The uncle slowly took off his glasses.

Just one glance and Gu Ji instantly got goosebumps.

There were four pupils in those eyes. As he stared at the talisman paper substitute, the four pupils slowly gathered from other directions on the substitute's body, which was indescribably weird and disgusting.

"You're here." The man's mouth curled up.

Disgusting woodlice swarmed beneath his skin and crawled out of his mouth.

"Oops." The man caught the bug and stuffed it back into his mouth. "Sorry, did my little pet scare you? Well, you were still a child the last time I saw you, so I guess you don't remember much. Technically, I'm still your...uncle. My name is Bei Ye, you can just call me Uncle Bei."

His movements could even be described as gentle.

He placed Gu Ji on the table, patted her head with the talisman paper, and then sat opposite her.

But Gu Ji did not take it lightly.

No matter how gentle this person appears on the surface, he cannot hide the damp and sticky feeling he gives people. His eyes are like poisonous snakes that can wrap around and suffocate people.

Every inch of this place is engraved with sealing runes, and has the breath of mom and dad.

She looked around. The room was very old. There was no bed. There was a large cabinet filled with bottles and jars. Upon closer inspection, she found that they were full of various insects.

But those bugs were... a little strange.

Noticing Gu Ji's gaze, Bei Ye picked up one of the bottles and placed it in front of Gu Ji with a smile.

In the glass bottle, in the transparent mucus, a gray and transparent insect moved twice.

A human eye was sewn into the bug's head.

Bei Ye pointed at the insect and said, "I know you went to the Dharma Realm. You should have learned how to sew up the insect, right?"

Gu Ji didn't say anything.

But she had seen it in books.

The third level was about the cultivation of the poisonous insects. It was the longest level she had ever gone through, taking a full hundred years.

It’s not that cultivating poisonous insects is too difficult, but some of the books and methods of cultivating poisonous insects are very disgusting.

Sew the human and the insect together, and combine the insect and the human together.

Or they may use cultivators or monsters as vessels to cultivate poisonous insects, allowing the insects to feed on the bodies of humans or monsters, and eventually become the King of Poison.

Their method can only be described in four words: inhumane.

She didn't understand at the time why there were such disgusting things in her mother's collection of books.

Now I understand.

"Did you write those books?" Gu Ji asked.

Beiye's eyes lit up, "Yeah! It's me! Have you really seen it?"

Gu Ji nodded: "Yes, I have read it. Although some of the methods are a bit morbid, they are indeed very useful. On the other hand, since Gu worms can harm people as well as save people, I have thought about cultivating Gu worms that can eat human pathogens."

After hearing the first half, Bei Ye's lips curled up into an excited smile.

After hearing the second half, Bei Ye's mouth drooped again, "Who asked you to save people?! We are the gods of the underworld! The underworld controls life and death in heaven and earth, and they must all die!!!"

Neuropathy……

Why don’t so many famous psychiatrists in the underworld treat him?

Talking to a psychopath is a waste of time, so she chose not to speak.

Bei Ye was also unhappy when she didn't speak, "Why don't you speak? You are just like your mother, you like silence and indifference!"

Beiye leaned on the table with both hands, his face full of anger.

Both pupils began to tremble.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again, returning to his elegant demeanor. "But it doesn't matter. I knew you were a good talent. I knew it when you brought the forbidden nightmare back to Jun Zhu. You are really smart, and... very tenacious. You haven't died in Xialu Village for so many years, tsk."

Gu Ji's heart sank, "You took me there?"

"Of course not—your parents took you there. They thought you would be well protected there. Unfortunately, they didn't know that the person they arranged had already betrayed them and became my man. Are Tao Xiaohong and Wang Wencai good to you?"

My grandma’s legs are so disgusting, Gu Ji said silently in his heart.

But she didn't say it.

For such people, keeping silent is the best counterattack.

Sure enough, Bei Ye started to get mad again, "Why aren't you saying anything?! Is this how you treat your elders?!"

He stood up and stretched out his hand, seemingly wanting to tear apart Gu Ji's substitute talisman paper, but the moment he touched the talisman paper, he let go and turned around in place. Gu Ji felt that he was about to mutate in the next second.

"Forget it. After all, you are my niece. You have read my books. What do you think of my ideas?"

Among the thirty-one books he wrote, apart from the more professional content, the rest were filled with a lot of dark thoughts and remarks, which Gu Ji simply skipped.

It seems that it is not easy for an old man who has lived for so many years to say so many childish words.

She nodded very sincerely.

Beiye's mouth corners raised.

"It's very bad, very lame, especially the idea that you want everyone in the world to die so that the underworld can control the entire Three Realms. It's especially bad."

The upward curve of Beiye's mouth stiffened again.

His pupils trembled violently, filled with anger and ruthlessness, "You! Said! What!?!"

"I said it sucks."

"Are you looking for death?!"

"The harsh words are all the same template. Will you say anything else besides "Are you looking for death?" Gu Ji asked.

But the next second she was speechless.

Because the substitute talisman paper was burned to ashes by Bei Ye.

Gu Ji's consciousness returned to his body.

She subconsciously opened her eyes and looked up.

Around her, a circle of ghosts were staring at her.
