The insect that was resting on Yiye's nose fell to the ground with a thud, rolled on the ground, and faced Gu Xinglang, raising its head and then lowering it to the ground. [This site has changed its URL, shorthand method: Strawberry.com, .cm.]
Master Fenglin's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "Is it kneeling to you?"
Gu Xinglang raised his finger towards the poisonous insect, and it crawled back to Yiye's feet and lay there motionless.
Young Master Fenglin took a breath. Sure enough, the poisonous insect was kneeling down to Gu Xinglang!
Yiye raised his head at this time and looked at Gu Xinglang.
National Master Wuhuan stood up, and Junior Master Fenglin quickly followed suit. The two of them walked to stand beside Gu Xinglang.
Yiye had a dazed look on his face, just staring at Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang asked: "Have you been to the back mountain of the Eternal Life Temple?"
Yiye said, “I’ve been there.”
"Are you Mo Wen's disciple?" Gu Xinglang asked again.
Yiye said, "Yes."
"Where is Su Ying being held?"
"Seventeen caves in the back mountain."
Gu Xinglang looked at National Master Wuhuan.
Imperial Master Wu Huan nodded and said, "The caves in the back mountain are named after numbers."
Gu Xinglang then asked Yiye: "Where is Gu Ziyang being held?"
Yiye said, "He escaped."
Gu Xinglang asked, "Where was he originally imprisoned?"
Yiye said, "There are seventeen caves in the back mountain."
"Who else is imprisoned in Cave 17?" Gu Xinglang asked.
Yiye's eyes were dull, but he spoke a string of names very clearly.
Gu Xinglang and the other two were speechless for a long time after listening to these names. These were the generals of the six countries who had died on the battlefield in the past.
"Why did he do this?" asked Master Fenglin.
Imperial Master Wu Huan said, "Some of these people have a lot of leverage, and some are too loyal and fervent to submit. If they stay in the court, it will be a disaster for the Eternal Life Temple."
Master Fenglin said, "Then just kill them, why lock them up?"
Gu Xinglang asked Yiye: "Mo Wen, why do you want to arrest these people?"
Yiye shook his head with difficulty and said, "I don't know. I only heard Master talk about bones and blood."
"What bone and blood?" Gu Xinglang asked.
Yi Ye shook his head, he didn't know.
"What are the things needed to raise Gu?" Young Master Fenglin guessed.
Wu Huan, the Imperial Master, said: "Mo Wen is not just raising Gu."
"Have you been to the Seventeenth Cave?" Gu Xinglang asked Yi Ye again.
Yiye nodded this time.
Master Fenglin immediately said to Gu Xinglang, "Ask him what the Seventeenth Cave is like?"
"Speak," Gu Xinglang only said one word to Yiye.
Yiye said, "No light, someone is shouting, there is a foul smell, I, I can't see the hole clearly."
Wu Huan, the Imperial Master, said, "You can't see clearly what's inside the cave, so how do you know who's imprisoned in Cave 17?"
This time, Gu Xinglang didn't need to ask, Yiye replied: "The guards have a list."
"Who is the guard?" Gu Xinglang asked.
"Monster," said Yiye.
Master Fenglin whispered, "Will the monster be the kind without skin?"
"What does the monster look like?" asked National Master Wuhuan.
"A person without skin, an immortal mountain spirit," Yiye replied.
"Do the monsters in the mountains have skin on their bodies?" National Master Wuhuan asked immediately.
Yiye said, "Yes."
"That is to say, besides the skinless monsters, there are other monsters?" Young Master Fenglin said with a grim expression. He grew up in the Temple of Eternal Life. Now thinking about it, these ten years have been wasted.
Master Wu Huan whispered to Gu Xinglang, "Maybe it was Mo Wen's Gu person."
Gu Xinglang nodded, walked forward, pulled off the chain that locked Yiye, pointed to the table with writing brushes, inkstones, and paper, and said, "Go, draw a topographical map of the back mountain."
At this moment, a stream of mucus flowed out from the bottom of Yiye's right eye.
"What is this?" Master Fenglin asked with a frown.
Gu Xinglang said: "There is still a Gu worm in his brain. If they come out together, he will die. I blocked the Gu worm in the bottom of his eyes."
Hearing this, Master Fenglin got goosebumps all over his body.
"Let him draw the map," National Master Wuhuan ignored Yiye's condition and urged Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang then said to Yiye: "Why don't you go quickly?"
Yiye just took a step and fell to the ground.
Gu Xinglang and the other two stood there, looking with cold eyes at the person who was struggling to get up from the ground.
Master Fenglin suddenly laughed and said, "So he is just Mo Wen's Gu man. Disciple, this word is a joke to Mo Wen."
Imperial Master Wuhuan glanced at Junior Master Fenglin, who had already grown his hair.
Yiye got up from the ground and walked to the table with unsteady steps.
Gu Xinglang said, "Sit down and draw."
Master Fenglin walked over, found a large piece of white paper, spread it in front of Yiye, dipped the brush in ink, and put it in Yiye's hand.
Yiye immersed himself in drawing the map.
Gu Xinglang stretched out his finger towards the poisonous insect on the ground.
The poisonous insect crawled along Gu Xinglang's feet and legs, all the way to Gu Xinglang's fingers, and then spun around on his fingers like a cat or dog having fun.
Master Wuhuan looked at Gu Xinglang. Under the flickering candlelight in the torture room, Gu Xinglang's eyes were bloodshot and a totem appeared on his face. Even without the presence of bones and blood, he looked eerie and terrifying.
Gu Xinglang noticed the gaze of National Master Wuhuan and turned to look at Wuhuan.
Master Wuhuan showed no fear and reached out to touch Gu Xinglang's face. The pattern on the skin under his hand was shaped like blooming vines. Master Wuhuan placed his hand on it and felt no blood flowing under the skin, just ice-cold, which was completely opposite to the blood-red color. Gu Xinglang's face could not feel body temperature at this moment.
Gu Xinglang stood there without moving.
Wuhuan Imperial Master said, "Now you look at me, can't you see clearly?"
Gu Xinglang said: "I know it's Brother Wuhuan." The world before his eyes was filled with blood, but Gu Xinglang could tell who was in front of him.
"That's good." Wu Huan patted Gu Xinglang's face affectionately and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Xinglang, you are so powerful now."
Gu Xinglang raised the corner of his mouth. It actually felt really good not to be scared of like a monster.
Master Fenglin then said, "His eyes are bleeding, is this okay?"
Gu Xinglang and National Master Wuhuan looked back together and saw that Yiye's right eye was bleeding.
"This person cannot die yet," Imperial Master Wuhuan said to Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang said: "The worm in my hand told me that he has thirty-nine companions in Yiye's brain."
Master Fenglin said, "Did these thirty-nine insects all obey you?"
Gu Xinglang said: "If I want to."
"Let's just let them stay in this person's brain," Master Fenglin wiped the blood from Yiye's right eye with a handkerchief and said, "What the poisonous insects can tell you, they can probably also tell Mo Wen. We'd better not take any risks at this time."
"The insect will not betray me," Gu Xinglang said word by word.
Master Fenglin raised his head and met Gu Xinglang's bloodshot eyes. Master Fenglin thought for a moment and said to Gu Xinglang out of concern, "Are you not feeling uncomfortable like this? Don't you feel anything at all?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head. The whole world was reduced to a blood-red color. How could a person who knew that the world was colorful not be anxious?
