Dugu Qiusheng's lips moved, wanting to ask the reason, but he knew that if he asked, Liu Yi would only call him an idiot.
Liu Yi seemed to know what Dugu Qiusheng was thinking and explained directly, "Awan wants to take us to Shenxian Gou and then ask the experts there to kill us."
"No way?" Dugu Qiusheng exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Yi chuckled and said, "Otherwise, why would she suddenly change her mind? Isn't it because she can't beat Hong Yu, so she resorted to this tactic?"
Dugu Qiusheng nodded, feeling that what Liu Yi said was correct.
Urged on by Bian Lang, they hurried to the funeral procession, eager to see what exactly was wrong with what A Wan had said.
Upon closer inspection, it was seen that Awan was standing not far away, not disturbing the funeral procession.
When she saw Bian Lang and the others approaching, the look in her eyes as she looked at Bian Lang was extremely complicated.
Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, Bian Lang could tell that there was a funeral procession, which shows that his ability to hear things was already incredibly advanced.
But if she knew that Bian Lang didn't actually have super hearing, but only relied on his powerful strength to sense things, she would be even more astonished.
Liu Yi said, "It looks perfectly normal."
"The problem lies in the coffin," Bian Lang laughed.
Liu Yi asked in surprise, "You mean a corpse?"
"The body should just be a body, but there's something inside it, it looks like insects..." Bian Lang said.
Upon hearing this, Awan exclaimed in surprise, "A Gu person!"
No wonder she felt that the aura was strange, yet somewhat familiar. When Bian Lang mentioned that there were worms inside the corpse, she immediately thought of the Gu people.
“Since it’s a dead person, it should be a Gu corpse,” Dugu Qiusheng said.
Awan sneered, "Are you sure that's really a corpse?"
Dugu Qiusheng could only look at Bian Lang, who had just said that the corpse should be a corpse.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Brother Dugu, I said 'should,' which means I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps under the control of some kind of Gu worm, a living person can look exactly like a corpse, but in reality, the person is still alive."
Dugu Qiusheng shook his head. It seemed that experts always left themselves room to maneuver when they spoke. It was best not to get involved in such conversations, otherwise he would always be the one who felt awkward.
Liu Yi asked, puzzled, "Why would they put the Gu people in coffins?"
"Naturally, it's for the sake of longevity," Awan said.
At first, Bian Lang and the others thought that someone was using this method to raise Gu, but they never expected that the person was using Gu worms to cultivate.
This method of cultivation is quite rare.
But Awan then said that since ancient times, many people have used this evil art to seek immortality, but most of them are people who cannot endure the hardships of cultivation, and as a result, none of them have succeeded.
On the other hand, cultivators, although those who become immortals are extremely rare, have at least appeared. Cultivators use this to encourage themselves, never giving up on cultivation, because perhaps the next person to become an immortal will be themselves.
“This person will be buried in a pre-selected auspicious burial site, a site perfectly suited to the appetite of Gu worms. It may take a hundred or even a thousand years for this person to awaken,” Awan added.
Liu Yi sighed, "What's the point of this kind of cultivation?"
“Winning in the future, as long as he wakes up a thousand years later and his strength is comparable to that of a god, and his lifespan is also very long, then he has made a profit. In any case, during the years he sleeps, he is just a corpse and has no consciousness at all,” Bian Lang laughed.
Shangguan Hongyu frowned and asked, "When he wakes up, will he still be considered a person?"
“They’re almost all monsters,” Awan said.
Anger blazed in her eyes. Since she had stumbled into this mess, she had to stop it. Otherwise, centuries later, the world would have another bloodthirsty monster that indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people.
Seeing that Awan was about to make a move, Bian Lang spoke up to stop her, saying it would be better to wait until they had buried the coffin before digging it up.
Ah Wan was thinking that she still needed to get rid of the person who cast the curse.
The evil art of seeking immortality through poison is extremely complex, and very few people in this world know how to use it.
To prevent more monsters from being born, it's best to address the problem at its source.
"I'll go and follow those guys later," Dugu Qiusheng volunteered.
Liu Yi said, "Be extra careful."
Dugu Qiusheng laughed. It was just a stalking, not a real fight, so there was basically no danger.
The funeral procession entered a ravine overgrown with weeds, making it difficult to move forward.
Deep in the ravine, they had already dug the tomb.
This place is hot and humid, and breeds mosquitoes, making it a natural breeding ground for venomous insects.
When those people arrived, they didn't do anything extra. They simply buried the coffin there, filled it in, and didn't make a mound or erect a tombstone. Before long, weeds would grow all over it, and even if someone passed by, they wouldn't expect that a Gu person was buried under their feet.
Bian Lang raised his right hand and gently rotated it, forcibly sucking the coffin buried in the soil out.
Seeing this, Awan became even more certain that Bian Lang was also terrifying.
She couldn't do what Bian Lang just did.
Upon opening the coffin, they found a young man dressed in red lying inside.
This young man had a handsome face and was exceptionally brave and heroic.
But looking at his dark purple lips and snow-white skin, he really didn't look like a living person.
But when Awan saw this person, her expression changed drastically. She bit her lip tightly, and her delicate body trembled.
"Ah Wan, are you alright?" Liu Yi asked in confusion.
Shangguan Hongyu chuckled and said, "It seems to be someone Awan knows, and perhaps even someone Awan likes."
Seeing the strange smiles on the faces of the three of them, Awan explained, "We just know each other, I wouldn't say I like them."
