Chapter 23 The Terrifying Mind-Controlling Gu

Since Yuan Ling didn't even know she was dead, there was no way we could expect her to explain who killed her.

Jiang Li sorted out the general context.

First, Yuan Ling killed all the people in the two towns and used the corpse Gu to control everyone, allowing them to give birth normally. However, with her level, she could only use the Dantian corpse Gu to control the behavior of the corpse, but not the way of thinking.

Then he killed Yuan Ling and used the corpse insect to control Yuan Ling, and then used the sea of ​​consciousness insect on everyone. In this way, the people in the two towns were no different from living people, and there would be no problem even if they reached the Nascent Soul stage.

What Jiang Li couldn't figure out was the purpose.

What was the purpose of this mastermind behind the scenes? Saint Jingxin smiled and asked Jiang Li to leave. She and Yuan Ling were alone in a room. Jiang Li's scalp was numb because of Saint Jingxin's laughter, so he walked away.

However, Jiang Li's inspiration was extraordinary, and he could still vaguely hear the shouting coming from the room.

The screams became quieter and quieter, and finally disappeared. Saint Maiden Jingxin used magic to clean the blood off her body, walked out of the room with a smile on her face, and heard the message Jiang Li gave her.

"Something seems to be wrong with Du Xiner. I'll go take a look."

The Holy Maiden Jingxin soon arrived at Xiahe Town and found Jiang Li and Du Xiner. The two were in a kitchen with something steaming on the stove.

"what happened?"

Jiang Li grabbed a handful of rice, not knowing what he was thinking. Du Xiner stood there in a daze, her eyes dull.

"I was paying attention to this place with my spiritual sense just now, and I found that Du Xiner was pouring these things into the husked spiritual rice."

This is something that goes against common sense. The eight towns will not give the spiritual grains directly to the Red Dust Pure Land, but will shell the spiritual grains into spiritual rice, give the spiritual rice to the Red Dust Pure Land, and keep the rice bran and bury it in the soil to increase the spiritual energy content of the soil.

Du Xiner didn't have to do anything in this process, she just needed to supervise. However, not only did Du Xiner not supervise, she also moved a rice jar from the cellar and wanted to pour the rice in the jar into the pile of freshly hulled spiritual rice.

Jiang Li pointed to the side, and Saint Jingxin looked over there and found that it was just a jar of spiritual rice and there was nothing unusual about it.

"I advise you not to use your spiritual sense to look at this jar of spiritual rice. Your heart will not be able to bear it."

If Jiang Li hadn't said so, Saint Jingxin wouldn't have done so. But after Jiang Li's advice, she wanted to use her spiritual sense to scan.

Well, can it still resist divine consciousness?

The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart increased the strength of her spiritual consciousness and was able to see what was hidden inside the spiritual rice through its surface.

"vomit--"

The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart turned pale and began to retch.

She had been fasting for a long time, so there was nothing in her body and she couldn't vomit anything.

This is not a jar of spiritual rice, this is a jar of poisonous insects disguised as spiritual rice! "Junior Sister Xin'er, what are you doing!"

Du Xiner came back to her senses and asked in confusion, "Doesn't the sect have a rule that we should pour this jar of spiritual rice into the spiritual rice pile?"

"Who said that? When did this rule come into being in the Pure Land?"

Du Xiner tried hard to recall and found that she only remembered this rule but could not remember who told her.

Jiang Li used his fingernails to pry open a grain of spiritual rice, revealing an extremely tiny white poisonous insect inside, and displayed it in front of Du Xiner.

"Do you know what this is?"

Jiang Li's behavior also made Du Xiner confused: "Isn't it just spiritual rice? Is there something else?"

Jiang Li didn't say anything else and let Du Xiner leave.

"Someone tampered with her cognition, making her think that this was just an ordinary jar of spiritual rice, and that it was a trick of the corpse insect."

Jiang Li lifted the lid of the steamer on the stove, revealing a bowl of fragrant rice.

He picked up one of the grains of rice and opened it to reveal a white poisonous insect. It was still alive and seemed to have more vitality than before! "Someone added poisonous insects to the spiritual rice and let you people in the Red Dust Pure Land eat it. I just don't know what the effect of the poisonous insects is."

The face of the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart is as white as gold paper.

The remote communication symbol flashed and Jiang Li answered the call.

"Brother Jiang, I found the Gu tribe!" Zhang Konghu, who looked like a black bear, appeared in front of Jiang Li. He said in a muffled voice, "They said that in order to cultivate a corpse Gu that can make a dead body move normally, one must be at least in the Fusion Stage."

"But they are not sure either. They just speculate based on the records. After all, there are no masters in the Gu tribe now, and the most powerful one is only in the Nascent Soul stage."

Speaking of this, Zhang Konghu was filled with emotion. He only knew that the Gu Clan lived in seclusion, but he did not expect them to be so destitute. In the past, there were great figures from the Gu Clan who ascended to the fairyland.

"I asked again who could practice Gu Shu, and they said that one must read the ancient books enshrined in the ancestral temple. The ancient books on Gu Shu are strictly guarded, and it is impossible for outsiders to practice."

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

"But I tried it and was able to steal the ancient books easily without anyone noticing. Of course, I have already returned them."

"Oh, by the way, they also said that the mind-controlling Gu that was forbidden to be cultivated by the Gu Clan was lost. They are in seclusion and cannot come out. They hope that our Human Emperor Palace will release the news and let everyone be careful."

"Mind-controlling Gu?"

"Yes, the Gu tribe said that this kind of Gu worm is extremely terrifying. Once a person swallows it, even if he becomes a combined god in the future, the owner of the Gu worm can still control his mind, and he himself will not be aware of it! Therefore, the Gu tribe has an ancestral precept that prohibits the cultivation of mind-controlling Gu!"

"Look, is this the mind-controlling insect?" Jiang Li spread out his palm and showed the white insect.

"Yes, yes, that's it. The cocoon is like a magical rice, as fine as a hair tip, silent when in contact with water, and active when in contact with fire. Where did you find it, Jiang?"

With a clang, the legs of the Holy Maiden Jingxin became weak, she knocked over the pots and pans, and fell limply to the ground.

How many years have they been adding poisonous insects to spiritual rice? How many junior sisters have eaten it? Has any senior brother who has practiced fasting tried it occasionally? How many people in the mortal world have mind-controlling poisonous insects in their bodies? The Saint of Pure Heart didn't dare to think about these questions at all!

"Did the Gu tribe tell us how to break the mind-controlling Gu?"

"Like other Gu worms, either the Gu worm owner actively releases it, or kills the Gu worm in the body. Therefore, the mind-controlling Gu is ineffective during the Tribulation Crossing period, as the lightning tribulation during the Tribulation Crossing period will destroy the Gu worm."

"I'll explain it to you later, it's over!"

Jiang Li hung up the communication symbol with a very serious expression: "The mind-controlling Gu has not been activated, and things have not reached the final stage yet! Your junior sisters are still waiting for you to save them! With me here, everything can be salvaged!"

Jiang Li's low and serious tone carried unquestionable confidence, which made the Holy Maiden Jingxin gradually return to normal.

Yes, things haven't reached the final step yet. The mastermind behind the scenes has been secretly controlling things for decades, but has not yet activated the mind-controlling Gu, which means that the time is not yet ripe for him.

Mistakes can be made up for, there is still a chance for everything!

"Jiang Li, thank you!" The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart looked determined. She slowly stood up and flew towards the pure land of the mortal world.

Jiang Li followed closely behind.

When the two were about to return to the Pure Land of the Mortal World, they were blocked outside by the light curtain formed by the sect protection formation. A person behind the light curtain was looking at the two latecomers with a sneer.

The instigator was the elder who was expelled from the Pure Land of the Red Dust, the Taoist nun Xuan Ai!
