Chapter 53: I've never seen anyone so eager to court death.
The Golden Silkworm Gu is an extremely evil Gu worm from the Miao region. The refining process is very complicated. It requires placing various poisonous insects in a sealed jar and letting them kill each other for a year until only one remains. When it becomes like a silkworm and turns golden yellow, it is considered to have been initially refined.
After it is refined, it must be secretly stored in a special feng shui location for forty-nine days. Then it is taken out and placed in an incense burner, and offered with clear tea and incense in the morning and evening. Only then is there a certain chance of refining the invisible Golden Silkworm Gu, which exists in the incense ash.
The Golden Silkworm is fond of valuable items such as silk, gold, and antiques. Inviting the Golden Silkworm Gu can bring immense wealth to your home.
However, the Golden Silkworm Gu is an evil creature after all. If you are lucky enough to invite the Golden Silkworm Gu and fail to remove it in time, the Golden Silkworm Gu will contaminate the valuables in your home, and the person who invited the Gu will also be eaten by the Golden Silkworm.
Therefore, those who use Gu poison will employ a method called "marrying a golden silkworm" to transfer the disaster away.
In her past life, Yun Shu had seen some high-ranking officials and nobles hire the Golden Silkworm Gu. After they became wealthy, they used the method of "marrying the Golden Silkworm" to transfer disasters to others, causing their families to be destroyed and their lives to be lost.
The package on the ground is for "marrying the Golden Silkworm," and it contains valuable items contaminated by the Golden Silkworm Gu. If someone picks up this package, the Golden Silkworm Gu will follow them to their home.
"Who is refining the Golden Silkworm Gu?"
Yun Shu's expression was somewhat solemn.
Once the Golden Silkworm Gu appears, it is very difficult to get rid of it because it has no shape, exists only in specific incense ash, and can easily escape.
Moreover, the process of refining this kind of Gu worm is very complicated and tedious. Even after spending so much effort and time, it is not guaranteed that it will be successfully refined. A person who can refine the Golden Silkworm Gu is definitely a peerless genius among Gu masters. They can also refine other evil Gu worms, which are extremely troublesome evil practices.
Yun Shu had met him in her previous life because the Great Jing Dynasty had produced a notorious genius Gu master who was obsessed with researching these evil Gu worms. She and her fellow disciples had gone to great lengths to get rid of him.
"Let's deal with this first."
Fortunately, she had experience dealing with the Golden Silkworm Gu in her previous life, so Yun Shu rummaged through her bag and took out a small bottle of chicken blood and an exorcism talisman that she always carried with her.
She squatted down to open the brocade bundle, but an old woman walked over and quickly picked it up.
The package was deliberately not sealed tightly, and through the gaps you could see that it contained a jade bracelet, a diamond necklace, and other antiques of excellent quality.
The old lady pulled back the brocade cloth, glanced at what was inside, and immediately widened her eyes. Then she turned to Yun Shu with some hostility and said, "Young lady, I'm the one responsible for collecting garbage in this community. I'll just take this bag of garbage and throw it away."
"Put your things down."
Yun Shu grabbed her, "There are evil Gu worms in here. You can't take them, or your whole family will be doomed."
"Gu worms?"
The old lady glanced at Yun Shu disdainfully. "Little girl, you've been looking at too many things. There's no such thing in real life! Did you see what was inside and want to take it from me? Let me tell you, no way! I found it first!"
She pushed Yun Shu forcefully, trying to push her away. But to her surprise, Yun Shu was very strong and stood still.
Looking at her face, Yun Shu realized that this old woman was no good either, and her eyes turned cold.
“I told you to put your things down. I saw them first, so it’s not your turn to take them.”
If the Golden Silkworm Gu eats people, it will be even more difficult to deal with. We can't let her take the things away!
"You saw it first? Do you have any proof?"
The old woman immediately shouted, "I saw it from the corner over there a long time ago, before you even arrived! And even though you saw it, why didn't you pick it up? I picked it up first, so it's mine! What right do you have to take it from me!"
The old woman shook her hands vigorously, trying to shake Yun Shu off. But when she realized she couldn't, she suddenly sat down on the ground with a thud.
She pounded the ground and cried out, "Oh dear, everyone come quick! This little girl is shameless! She beat up an old woman like me in broad daylight and tried to steal my family's heirloom! Someone, please save me! Is there no justice in this world?!"
Yun Shu: ?
What kind of troublemaker are they? Trying to stage an accident for extortion?
Not long after the old woman started crying, a man in pajamas ran down the stairs, glaring menacingly at Yun Shu. "You wretched woman, what did you do to my mother! In broad daylight, you dare to hit my mother? Believe me or not, I'll punch you to death!"
The man raised his hand, about to slap Yun Shu.
Yun Shu released the old lady and dodged the slap to the side.
However, as the old woman cried out, more and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle.
But most people pointed and whispered about the mother and child, and looked at Yun Shu with a hint of sympathy.
"The old lady from the Zheng family is up to her old tricks again. Ever since she came to her son's house, she hasn't had a single day of peace. Not only does she beat her daughter-in-law every day, but a few days ago at the entrance of the community, she deliberately fell down next to a car and insisted that the driver had hit her. She even called her son over to threaten the driver into paying her compensation."
"Yes, luckily there are surveillance cameras at the entrance of our community, and the car owner was smart enough to call the police in time to avoid this incident."
"Where did you get away with it? Old Mrs. Zheng's son is even more despicable. Since he couldn't extort any money, he kept going to that car owner's house to smash the door and throw garbage. That family couldn't stand it anymore and had to move away!"
I live right across from that house, and yesterday I heard things being smashed outside!
"This little girl is in trouble. She's probably been extorted by Old Lady Zheng and her son. She looks so thin and weak; she doesn't look like someone who would hit someone."
"Oh no, they're going to beat up that little girl! We need to call the police right away!"
When the onlookers saw that Old Lady Zheng's son was about to make another move, they were about to step forward to help. However, Yun Shu kicked the man in the stomach, sending him flying three meters away and crashing into a wall not far away.
Yun Shu looked at them coldly, "You want that package so badly? Then you can have it. You've committed so many evil deeds, it's time for you to die."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
The onlookers stared blankly at her retreating figure, still reeling from Yun Shu's kick.
This girl is really something...
"Damn it, you bitch! Cough cough, you dare hit someone, you believe me or not..."
The man got up from the ground and made some threats, and even tried to chase after Yun Shu, but Old Lady Zheng stopped him.
"Son, forget about her, let's go home, we're going to be rich!"
Grandma Zheng glanced warily at the people next to her, clutching the cloth bag in her arms tightly, as if afraid that someone would see it and try to take it from her.
"What?"
The man looked at her with a puzzled expression.
She didn't explain, but took her son home first; their family lived in this building.
Back home, the mother and son stared wide-eyed at the precious jewelry, antiques, and gold in the package.
"Mom, are all these things real? How much money are they worth? We're rich!"
"It's all true, it must all be true!"
The mother and son were overjoyed.
Grandma Zheng said excitedly, "Luckily, that brat didn't take it. So many good things, worth at least hundreds of thousands! She even lied to me, saying there were Gu worms inside that would kill people. That was all an excuse! She just wanted to take them home and sell them for money!"
"Gu worms? There are no worms! That brat was lying all along!"
The man rummaged through the brocade bundle, turning everything over, but he didn't see any insects. He only found a packet of incense ash.
He checked the incense ash but didn't see any insects, so he casually threw the ash into the trash can.
