Chapter 778 Entering the Flower River
"Master Gu, what's the situation now?" Li Mobai looked at Gu Shanshui and asked.
Gu Shanshui did not answer, but summoned a butterfly companion pet and brought back the body of the white silkworm.
Then Gu Shanshui cut off a part of the white silkworm's body and fed it to another spider. After eating the white silkworm's body, the spider had no reaction.
Gu Shanshui picked out a strange amulet from his own. The outside of the amulet looked like a small transparent glass bottle filled with yellow liquid, and a baby-like statue was soaked in the liquid.
Gu Shanshui opened the glass bottle outside and poured some yellow liquid on the remaining white silkworm corpses. The liquid immediately penetrated into the corpses as soon as it touched them.
Gu Shanshui held the Buddha amulet, muttered something in a low voice, and at the same time transferred his vital energy into the amulet.
But after a long time, there was no movement from the white silkworm's body.
Gu Shanshui took back the Buddha amulet and looked at the spider next to him that had eaten part of the white silkworm's corpse. He said solemnly, "There's no toxin in the white silkworm's corpse. It didn't die of poisoning. I just used the spirit control technique to try to gather the remaining spirit consciousness in the white silkworm, but it didn't work."
After hearing this, Li Mobai understood what Gu Shanshui meant: "In other words, the Flower of Life itself is not poisonous. Did the white silkworm die because it lost its soul?"
"That's roughly what it means, but spiritual consciousness is not completely equivalent to the soul." Gu Shanshui said.
"Can we find out what absorbed the white silkworm's spiritual consciousness?" Li Mobai asked.
"No other creatures were found to be involved. The most likely possibility is that the flower of life absorbed its spiritual consciousness, but this is just an inference," said Gu Shanshui.
This inference made Li Mobai and Zhou Wen feel depressed. If it was really the Flower of Life causing trouble, it would be very dangerous for them to cross the Flower River. If they were not careful, they might have their spiritual consciousness sucked away.
"This seems to be somewhat similar to the soul-sucking insects in the Soul-Sucking Valley. Are they related?" Li Mobai asked.
"It's not clear yet and needs further research." Gu Shanshui summoned many bird companion pets and let them fly across the Flower River from the sky and fly away into the distance.
The companion pet flew several circles over the Flower River and seemed to be fine, which made Zhou Wen and the others feel a little better.
If we could fly across the Flower River from the air, we could avoid a lot of trouble.
After taking back the companion pet, Gu Shanshui asked Gu Lou and Gu He to open the bamboo cages on their backs. There was actually a beehive inside the bamboo cage, with many poisonous bees flying in and out.
Zhou Wen looked at the beehive with some curiosity. He hadn't noticed it before, but he didn't expect that Gu Lou and Gu He were carrying such a thing.
The poisonous bee inside is obviously not a companion pet, nor can it be considered a dimensional creature. It should be a mutated species of the Earth's poisonous bee.
Driven by Gu Lou and Gu He, the poisonous bees flew out of the hive and flew towards the sky above the Flower River. However, not long after they flew, the poisonous bees fell from the sky, as if they were drunk, and fell into the flowers.
All the poisonous bees were killed and fell into the flowers.
Everyone's heart was shrouded in a shadow. The companion pets were fine, but all the poisonous bees were dead. It was estimated that people would suffer the same fate as the poisonous bees if they went in.
Gu Shanshui did some more experiments, and there were many strange things on his body, which dazzled the people who saw it.
After Gu Shanshui stopped, Li Mobai asked, "Master Gu, is there any way to cross the Flower River?"
"There is a way, but it can only prevent the spiritual consciousness from being sucked away. We don't know whether there are other dangers in it." Gu Shanshui pondered.
"We've come this far, there's no reason to go back." Li Mobai said.
Gu Shanshui nodded and took out a few Buddha amulets from his pocket and gave them to Zhou Wen: "Hang these around your necks to protect you from having your spiritual consciousness sucked away. However, there are a few taboos you need to observe. First, once you put them on, don't take them off casually. I'll help you take them off after we get out. Second, you need to drip a drop of blood on the amulets every day without interruption. Third, you cannot eat meat. You must follow these three rules, otherwise you will be in trouble."
After Li Mobai took the amulet, he put it directly on his neck, then pricked his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the amulet.
Strangely enough, the drop of blood immediately seeped into the amulet.
"What kind of companion pet is sealed in this Buddha amulet?" Zhou Wen asked curiously while holding the Buddha amulet.
This Buddha amulet is very similar to the one Gu Shanshui used just now. It is divided into three layers: one layer of transparent crystal, the second layer of yellow liquid, and the innermost layer is a black baby statue.
"The Buddha amulet that seals the companion pet is now called the authentic Buddha amulet. I made this one myself. What is sealed inside is not the companion pet, but the Gu. Although it is a bit weird, as long as you follow the rules, there will be no problem. Remember, you must follow the rules, otherwise there will be a disaster." Gu Shanshui warned them again and again.
Li Mobai said, "Master Gu's family used to raise Gu. Later, the Gu family moved to Chiang Rai and learned the local techniques. They have a deep understanding of things like Buddha amulets and Kumantong. Now they have formed their own school. Even in Chiang Rai, there are few people who can compare to Master Gu."
Zhou Wen followed Gu Shanshui's instructions, fed the amulet a drop of blood, and then hung it around his neck.
Everyone hung up the Buddha amulets, and then, led by Gu Shanshui, entered the Flower River.
Just as Gu Shanshui said, after they hung up the Buddha amulet, they had the problem of having their spiritual consciousness absorbed. The group walked through the river of flowers, and all they saw was a sea of flowers. There were no other living things. Although it looked beautiful, there was also a feeling of loneliness.
Zhou Wen originally wanted to ask Gu Shanshui to help him figure out the use of the Buddha amulets he got from Xiao Si, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. This place is not far from Chiang Rai. If the people of the Xiao family knew that Xiao Si's Buddha amulets were in his hands, he would inevitably get into trouble.
The sky gradually darkened and the moon rose in the sky.
The Flower River under the moonlight seems to be covered with a layer of mysterious gauze, looking beautiful and terrifying.
"Ah!" Gu Lou suddenly screamed and fell into the flowers. His eyes turned white, his body twitched violently, and white foam came out of his mouth, as if he was having epilepsy.
Everyone was shocked. Gu Shanshui reacted the fastest. He pinched Gu Lou's mouth, forced him to open it, then took out a small bottle and poured it into Gu Lou's mouth.
Zhou Wen originally thought that there was medicine in the small bottle, but who knew that he saw a centipede-like insect crawling out of the bottle and directly drilled into Gu Lou's mouth.
