"Gu Daoists are sorcerers who use Gu insects to fight, so they generally have relatively weak physical strength. Although they are much stronger than ordinary people, they appear extremely weak compared to warriors of the same level."
"With this in mind, the ancestors of Gu Daoists over four hundred years ago created a method to integrate one's own natal Gu insect into the body. This method involves using oneself as the Gu, creating a Taoist Gu Golden Body."
"But this method also has a drawback, which is that it takes a long time to prepare, and integrating the natal Gu worm will also cause certain damage to one's own body. It can be said that it hurts the enemy a thousand times and hurts oneself eight hundred times."
"Fortunately, after so many years, generations of our ancestors have made improvements and efforts, and finally, based on the Taoist Gu Golden Body, they have found a new way. This not only completely solved the hidden dangers brought by the Taoist Gu Golden Body, but also greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Taoist Gu Master."
Duanmu Tongpu said slowly as he looked at the wild boar being roasted on the fire, sizzling with oil and smelling fragrant.
"Take a different approach? What is that? Why have I never heard of it before?" Duanmu Taichu asked in confusion while sprinkling seasoning on the roasted wild boar.
"Of course you haven't heard of it. You just run outside all day long and rarely come back to the village throughout the year. It would be strange if you knew about it." Duanmu Tongpu was obviously very dissatisfied with Duanmu Taichu, so he couldn't help but teach him a lesson.
Duanmu Taichu smiled awkwardly. He knew he was being a little unfilial, but he couldn't help asking, "Oh, Ah Po, please don't be so quick to lecture me. Tell me what that is."
Duanmu Tongpu was still a little reluctant, but he did not forget the purpose of coming to the secret land in western Yunnan this time.
Duanmu Tongpu slowly said: "In fact, there are two kinds of power in this world, one is internal power, and the other is external power."
"Those with talent have inherent strength, while those with ancient martial arts have acquired this strength through hard work and practice."
"As a Gu Daoist lineage, we rely on external forces."
"By refining the poisonous insects, we can use them for our own benefit."
"The same is true for the Dao Gu Golden Body. Although fusing with our own natal Gu insect can greatly enhance our combat effectiveness, fusion is still fusion after all. It never belongs to us. In essence, we are relying on external forces."
"So our ancestors were thinking, is there a way to maximize physical strength without using poisonous insects, to achieve the effect of transforming the outside into the inside?"
"After continuous efforts, attempts, and development, and through generations of accumulation, our ancestors finally found the key to this method over hundreds of years. They called this method 'Transforming Gu into Sainthood.'"
"Turning from a poisonous insect into a saint?" Duanmu Taichu listened to his grandfather's story as if he was listening to a heavenly book, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"That's right!" Duanmu Tongpu nodded heavily. "To become a Gu Dao Master, one must go through the stages of refining Gu, controlling Gu, and melting Gu. However, in recent years, as Gu Dao Masters have become fewer and fewer, while witch Gu Masters have become more and more numerous, the requirements are no longer as strict as before. Once you reach the stage of controlling Gu, you can basically become a formal Gu Dao Master."
Duanmu Tongpu was halfway through his words when he was suddenly interrupted by Duanmu Taichu.
"I know that. It's like when there were fewer people raising pigs but more people eating them, so they had to wait until the pigs were fattened before slaughtering them."
"Nowadays, there are more people raising pigs, so we don't have to wait until the pigs are fat. They can be slaughtered right away." Duanmu Taichu said as he looked at the roasted pig in front of him and slurped his saliva.
Duanmu Tongpu's head was full of black lines and his temples were throbbing.
What kind of metaphor is this?
Calm down, calm down, you can’t kill your own child.
Duanmu Tongpu continued to prepare himself mentally, taking several deep breaths before continuing: "In fact, in addition to the stages of refining the Gu, controlling the Gu, and melting the Gu, there is another stage, which is the transformation of the Gu."
"However, to be able to transform a Gu requires a rare and extraordinary genius, and the method can only be passed down to the next successor of the Gu Dao Master lineage. Therefore, many Gu Dao Masters, including you, are unaware of the existence of such a thing."
"Are you not a one in a million genius? Ah Po, are you praising yourself in disguise? I'm saying that you are already old, can't you be more steady?" Duanmu Taichu interrupted again, with a look of contempt.
Duanmu Tongpu's temples throbbed even more violently, and he clenched his back teeth tightly.
Be patient, be patient, dear...
Damn! I can’t stand this anymore, old man.
Afterwards, the originally silent primeval forest let out a heartbreaking and shrill cry, which even scared away a large flock of birds.
The cry was so heartbreaking that it brought tears to anyone who heard it, and it frightened many large wild animals, who dared not approach the place where the sound came from.
"call……"
Duanmu Tongpu breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.
Duanmu Taichu, whose face was bruised and swollen like a pig's head, carefully cut off a piece of pork leg like a child who had made a mistake and handed it to Duanmu Tongpu in a flattering manner.
He is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
"Apo, this piece is the most tender. Eat it while it's hot."
"Um!"
Duanmu Tongpu frowned, took the pork leg with a rack, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Duanmu Taichu was serving humbly at the side, smiling flatteringly, "Apo, does this taste okay?"
Duanmu Tongpu nodded: "It's okay, although not as good as Ling Amei's, but it's barely acceptable."
Ling A'mei is Duanmu Tongpu's childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately they are not destined to be together. Ling A'mei got married early, and Duanmu Tongpu also married Taichu's grandmother. From then on, Ling A'mei became the white moonlight in Duanmu Taichu's heart.
