After Gutiezhu escaped from Kyoto City, he didn't dare to run around anymore, so he had to use the communication talisman given by Liu Jingyun to contact Liu Jingyun.
Liu Jingyun was injured and needed a trustworthy subordinate to do things for him, so he simply asked Gutiezhu to give up his territory in Kyoto City and come to Ning'an Temple.
Liu Jingyun has hired the Loose Cultivator Alliance to help him collect luck, and he also needs to prepare some mortal blood.
Not everyone can become a "blood man." The simplified version of the "Ten Miles and Eight Desolations Star-Shifting Formation" has an automatic screening method. Liu Jingyun didn't know the specific criteria, but he knew that only when the blood of a "blood man" dripped onto the lines of the formation and was accepted by the formation would he be qualified.
Liu Jingyun entrusted the task of screening the "blood men" to Gu Tiezhu, whom he trusted.
While searching for suitable "blood men," Gu Tiezhu witnessed those who didn't meet Liu Jingyun's requirements being transformed into a bloody rain by Liu Jingyu's mid-air pinch. Only qualified "blood men" were allowed to return to the cave where they were imprisoned, waiting for Liu Jingyun to prepare everything needed for the formation before being bled out.
Because what he saw was so bloody and unbelievable, Gutiezhu's conscience once again emerged. For the first time, Gutiezhu felt that he had followed the wrong person. His boss was cold-blooded and ruthless. Not only was he unscrupulous in his pursuit of profit, but his killings were also brutal and unnatural. In his eyes, these living people were probably no more than livestock like pigs, dogs, chickens, and ducks.
After Zhou Miaomiao asked Gu Tiezhu for help, Gu Tiezhu, knowing that he might be implicated, resolutely sent Zhou Miaomiao away. Gu Tiezhu wanted to use Zhou Miaomiao's mouth to report the case. Gu Tiezhu didn't want to see Liu Jingyun kill again. If he didn't know that he was no match for Liu Jingyun, Gu Tiezhu would have wanted to drag Liu Jingyun to die with him. Gu Tiezhu felt deeply disgusted with what he had done.
At this moment, Gu Tiezhu stood before Liu Jingyun, his head bowed expressionlessly. Zhou Yuanyuan, however, saw resentment and despair in Gu Tiezhu's eyes. However, Gu Tiezhu hid his expression well, and if Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't been staring at him, she wouldn't have noticed.
"Xiao Gu! How are you? Have you felt unwell recently?" Gu Tiezhu didn't say anything, and Liu Jingyun began to ask.
"Thank you for your concern, Palace Master. Aside from the occasional headache, I'm doing fine." Gu Tiezhu looked up, his eyes calm. He had to endure it any longer; who knew the police would appear in the next second?
A headache? That's right, the human brain is a complex structure. The "Forget Dust Technique" allows people to forget the past, doesn't it act on the head? Liu Jingyun thought.
"That's good, Xiao Gu, don't worry. If you work with me, I will definitely make you rich and prosperous for the rest of your life." Liu Jingyun boasted as usual. For ordinary people, wealth and glory are what they strive for in their lives.
"Wealth?" After hearing this word, a trace of pain flashed in Gutiezhu's eyes.
These days, Gutiezhu always felt that he had forgotten something, something very important. Today, when he heard the word "wealth", Gutiezhu felt that something dormant in his mind began to revive.
My head hurts so much! It hurts like it's about to burst!
"Ah~!" Gutiezhu held his head with both hands and let out a scream.
Gutiezhu's screams scared Xiao Hu who was waiting on the side. He couldn't help but move a few steps towards the door, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.
Is it happening again? Has it started all over again? These past few days, Gutiezhu would occasionally hold his head and scream like this. Xiao Hu and Dasha would initially try to comfort him, but they were beaten black and blue by him. Gutiezhu, in a state of headache, was completely irrational.
Xiao Hu now started to have a headache when he saw Gutiezhu, and he wanted to run as far away as possible.
Gutiezhu felt as if his head was about to burst. Submerged memories surged and roared through his mind like a tide. He remembered his hometown was in Zhaojiagou. Because he had no money to pay for his mother's medical treatment, he stole trees from Daqing Mountain and sold them...
A few years ago, becoming wealthy was a lifelong goal for Gu Tiezhu. But now, he finds it a profound irony. Poverty has spurred him to a point of no return.
If "selling powder" made Gutiezhu feel guilty, the bloodiness he had witnessed with Liu Jingyun in the past six months drove him crazy.
Liu Jingyun regarded Gu Tiezhu as his confidant, and there were some things he did not hide from him. Because of this, Liu Jingyun deliberately let Gu Tiezhu see that those who were judged to be "useless" were "squeezed" into a puff of blood rain in front of Gu Tiezhu by Liu Jingyun.
Liu Jingyun's original intention was to show his powerful strength in front of Gutiezhu, but he never thought about how much pain it would bring to Gutiezhu.
"Xiao Gu, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Liu Jingyun saw the veins on Gu Tiezhu's face popping out from the pain and quickly stepped forward, hoping to give him a little spiritual energy to ease the pain. Liu Jingyun didn't want to let Gu Tiezhu die. On the one hand, Gu Tiezhu was indeed a rare subordinate, and on the other hand, Liu Jingyun wanted to observe the results of his two magics for a while longer.
"Don't come over here." Gutiezhu shouted. Somehow, as Liu Jingyun approached, Gutiezhu could smell a strong smell of blood, which made him want to vomit.
"Xiao Gu, you're welcome. Let me take a look for you." Liu Jingyun, fearing that his magic might have gone awry, stubbornly approached Gu Tiezhu. It was no wonder, Liu Jingyun had always been overly conceited and acted as he pleased. How could he be influenced by Gu Tiezhu's words?
"Ah~!" Another sharp pain. Gu Tiezhu held his head, closed his eyes and screamed again.
When Gutiezhu opened his eyes, Liu Jingyun's hand was right in front of him.
"Go to hell!" Gutiezhu's eyes were bloodshot and he opened his mouth to bite Liu Jingyun's hand.
Crazy? Liu Jingyun was a little surprised.
Liu Jingyun's fingers quickly brushed across the top of the ancient iron pillar, and the ancient iron pillar softened and fell to the ground.
"Xiao Hu, send Xiao Gu to the city hospital for a few days. Remember to go to Ah San and bring back twenty people when you come back." Liu Jingyun looked at Gu Tiezhu lying on the ground with disdain and ordered Xiao Hu. What a pity, he had wanted Gu Tiezhu to be the chief steward of his "Shangqing Palace" in the future! Mortals are mortals after all, and cannot withstand his magic.
"Yes." Xiao Hu wiped the cold sweat from his face, half dragged and half hugged the ancient iron pillar out of the stone chamber.
"These two spells...are unreliable? Or is it the person...who is unreliable?" Liu Jingyun frowned and muttered. Honestly, it would be better for Liu Jingyun to admit that Gu Tiezhu was unreliable than to admit that his spells were not fully practiced.
