106.Ghost Gu
The life-exchanging activity is similar to the inn at the foot of the mountain outside Yuzhou City, except that the former is to take away people's lifespan secretly, while the latter is to rob people's fortune secretly.
It is much more insidious to rob a living person of their luck than to take away a dead person's luck. It may not be easy to rob someone of their life. Miao Yuan and Zhu Lezhi are just juniors after all, and they are not physiognomists. It is good enough for them to understand the twelve palaces of the horoscope. If they really want to set things right, they have no idea at all.
Qing Ling was even more clueless, but he remembered Shang Changheng's words before he entered the room, that Zhu Hongxu had something on him, so he turned around and asked in silence, "Changheng, did you see anything before?"
Zhu Hongxu also looked over immediately. Even though he pretended to be calm and composed and was even in the mood to cast incense seals, only he knew how much resentment and resentment he felt in his heart.
Shang Changheng was always aloof and arrogant. He ignored the prince who was a royal family. Instead, he said to Qingling, "He has Yin Qi. Do you remember the Tongxin Gu that Ah Ji mentioned? Although it is a raw Gu, its aura is very similar to the Yin Qi in him."
There is one Tongxin Gu each on Aji and Alan.
Shang Changheng is an evil spirit and is more sensitive to Yin energy. He felt that the Yin energy on Zhu Hongxu was somewhat familiar since he came here, but he couldn't remember where it was for a while until he sat here and carefully identified it for a long time before he was sure of it.
"Gu..." Qing Ling hesitated for a moment, "Ghost Gu?"
The living Gu is alive, and when planted on a person it will add a breath of life, but the ghost Gu is fed with the ghost of a corpse, and is just a small jar filled with resentment and evil spirits. They each have their own uses.
But Qingling felt that it was still too outrageous that this bug could secretly change one's fate.
"It's even possible that this is the offspring of that woman's Tongxin Gu." Shang Changheng's expression became playful, and there was an unrestrained ferocity and brutality hidden in it. He chuckled, "My wife, you are just unlucky. You just killed someone's brother, and then you ran into the nest of the offspring of the Gu."
"I wonder who has worse luck." A hint of a forced smile appeared on Qingling Wenxiu's face.
A saint girl was taken away from the mountains. It was said that she went to live with some important person. It turned out that her backer was powerful and she was a member of the royal family.
Zhu Hongxu looked at the two of them in doubt and surprise for a moment. Even though he had seen many big scenes, he still felt a chill in his heart. But it was about himself - he was about to ask, but the young lady Zhu beat him to it.
"What?" Zhu Lezhi was already used to the two's style of rooting out the evil, after all, she was one of them, but she was worried about something else, so she clapped her hands, "Isn't that the end?"
Zhu Hongxu looked at her again, somewhat dazed - how could it be over?
Zhu Lezhi didn't look at him, but continued, "As for breaking the evil spell, maybe we can have a fight at a magic altar, and the Gu will be over. Kill the mother Gu's nest, and once the child Gu dies, the prince will die too. Either we do the same as we did to Aji last time and force this Alan to remove the Gu, or... maybe we can kill King Jing. These two paths are not easy to take now. King Jing has taken away the emperor's luck, so it's not easy to kill him now. That saint girl's brother died. If they have a good relationship, they may die with us. I don't think it's possible to expect her to remove the Gu!"
The more she spoke, the uglier Zhu Hongxu's expression became.
Miao Yuan also added frankly: "Perhaps the one in King Jing's body is the mother Gu, and the child Gu can also raise other child Gu."
For a moment, several people looked at each other, all of them were a little embarrassed. Zhu Hongxu sat aside, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He really didn't expect that they would make it so easy to kill a prince in front of him. In the end, he had to restrain his thoughts because he was afraid that the two of them would die together.
That’s...the prince! He was a prince who had already been crowned a king and even held a seat in the court, a prince that even the legitimate crown prince had to temporarily avoid the limelight!
Does that mean you can kill just like that?
In Zhu Hongxu's silence, Qingling slowly said, "Ghost Gu is a ghost, and is considered an evil creature. It has more uses and more ruthless methods than living Gu, but aren't ghosts what we are best at dealing with?"
Zhu Lezhi was stunned, and then both of them looked at Zhu Hongxu.
Then, Shang Changheng pinched Qing Ling's jaw and turned his face around, laughing and saying, "It's useless to stare at his face until you see flowers, the ghost Gu won't run out by itself. But what you said makes sense. If it is really a living Gu, it may be troublesome, but if it is a ghost Gu - then there is still a glimmer of hope."
Zhu Lezhi and Miao Yuan, who had been worried before, immediately calmed down after hearing this and became as calm as a rock.
Only Qing Ling sighed helplessly and gently pushed the evil ghost's hand away, "Why are you jealous again?"
The evil spirit does not repent.
The dying Zhu Hongxu had been feeling anxious all the time. Listening to their chatter, his mood was going through ups and downs. Now that he knew he had a chance to survive, he couldn't even feel happy and just felt numb.
.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be rescued, and Shang Changheng decided to do it himself.
When it comes to dealing with evil spirits, none of the people present who can breathe are as good as him, and Shang Changheng was injured by the thunder in Rongzhang Ridge, and he urgently needs the evil spirit to recover. Although this little thing is nothing - but isn't there still a mother Gu?
Zhu Hongxu hadn't reacted yet. He felt that this matter required a lot of preparation. Just as he was about to ask what was needed and ask someone to prepare it, the arrogant and ferocious evil figure suddenly disappeared and appeared beside him in the blink of an eye.
Brush, brush, brush.
Three times, they hit Zhu Hongxu's shoulders and head respectively, and his yang fire, which was already extremely weak and flickering, was completely extinguished.
Zhu Hongxu suddenly felt cold all over and leaned over the table, coughing and gasping for breath.
“Cough! Cough, cough, cough!!”
The new handkerchief in his hand was soon soaked with blood.
The person guarding the door couldn't help but push it open. Before they could enter, Shang Changheng waved his hand and the door closed again. This time, the door couldn't be opened no matter what. The person outside was so scared that he shouted, "What are you doing?!"
"If you shout again, your master will die." Qing Ling threatened at the right time.
It was clearly a sentence spoken in a very peaceful tone, but it made the waiter outside feel as if his throat was strangled, and he became mute.
"When the Yang Fire is extinguished, he will become a dead man in front of the Yin object. I think the mother Gu will also be aware of it." Qingling said calmly, "The Gu will not be able to survive if the person dies. The ghost Gu should be the same. Besides, their original purpose was to kill the prince and completely take away his fate."
Zhu Lezhixin said, if the ghost poison is gone, what would your deceased husband eat?
Without waiting for her to ask, Qing Ling took out a dagger without changing his expression.
Zhu Lezhi shut his mouth.
Evil things, evil spirits, how can anyone resist Qingling's attraction? What's more... there is fresh flesh and blood.
But Shang Changheng reached out his hand to stop Qing Ling, frowning and saying: "It's enough for you to just sit here, there's no need to do this."
"It's safer." Qing Ling shook his head at him, "As long as you are here, I will be fine."
Shang Changheng still held his arm down, "Of course you will be fine, but there is no need to hurt yourself, Qingling——"
"It's just a small wound." Qing Ling laughed. "Don't worry, I can't be so cruel to myself. If I delay any longer, it will be too late. If the ghost poison doesn't come out, it will be a waste if the prince dies."
Why are you so cruel?
They have already run into the heavenly punishment to save people, why are they so cruel?
But Qingling insisted, and Zhu Hongxu coughed more violently, and was about to faint from gasping for breath. Shang Changheng had to let go of his hand. Qingling pressed the tip of the knife against his finger, making a small wound, and scarlet blood immediately rolled out.
The moment the bloody smell appeared, the Yin energy lurking in Zhu Hongxu's body suddenly rolled up. The ghost insect probably sensed the danger and could not resist the temptation of Qingling's flesh and blood - it was more greedy for Qingling's body than his soul.
Finally, before Zhu Hongxu was about to cough to death, he suddenly choked and became silent. Then his eyes widened as if he was in severe pain, and he suddenly vomited blood. The blood fell on the table and actually moved - there were scarlet, thin worms in the blood.
There were even miserable cries from people of all ages, genders, and genders mixed in, as well as resentment, unwillingness, hatred, and evil spirits, all blending together.
The insect crawled towards Qingling quickly, but was completely wrapped in the dark yin energy on the way, so its crying became more miserable, but gradually became weaker.
But within a few breaths, Qingling's hands were already covered with blood. Zhu Hongxu, who was lying on the table, was still breathing, staring blankly at this bizarre scene.
The evil spirit dissipated, leaving only bloodstains on the table. The ghost insect had curled up into a ball of red worms the size of a fingertip and was silent.
"This..." Zhu Hongxu said hoarsely.
He only felt that his cold fingertips were gradually warming up, and his always weak body actually had some strength, and even the heart-wrenching pain in his chest was much relieved.
In Zhu Lezhi's eyes, the purple energy that was taken away from him was slowly returning. He immediately slammed the table and said, "It's done. The ghost Gu is dead, and his luck is back. In time, his fate that was stolen will also recover on its own."
Even the yang fire that had just been extinguished by Shang Changheng began to glow faintly again.
"I..." Zhu Hongxu finally came back to his senses. He first wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but his mouth moved but he didn't laugh. He just struggled to sit up straight and said, "Thank you very much, everyone. I will remember your kindness today."
Zhu Lezhi and Miaoyuan didn't contribute, so this thanks is not for them.
Shang Changheng had already returned to the Huanlong Pei, so Qingling said calmly, "No need to thank me, you are lucky."
I am really lucky and have a good life.
The emperor's fate was to be filled with purple energy, which meant he was much stronger than ordinary people. Even though he encountered many hardships and setbacks in his life, he was able to overcome most of them. Even if his life was changed, he was still saved at the last moment.
But some people, even if they have the luck to be emperors, still have unsatisfactory endings - Shang Changheng back then should not have ended up like this today.
People with a fate like his will still have good luck after death, so it is impossible that he didn't have a glimmer of hope at that time.
It was just a bit of luck after all.
