◎ "I am not your wife!"◎
Although the others couldn't help but frown, they were not too affected.
Especially Pei Ji, who pushed his wheelchair to the corpse, looked at it for a moment without changing his expression, raised his hand and said to Ah Qi: "Gloves and dagger."
Ah Qi squatted down and took out a large wooden box from the space under the wheelchair. When he opened it, he found it was full of medicinal herbs and tools.
There are masks and gloves made of gauze, as well as various bottles and jars, tweezers and small daggers.
An Jiu widened his eyes and looked at the scene in surprise.
She thought Pei Ji was a Chinese medicine practitioner, the kind that used medicinal herbs and acupuncture, but she didn't expect he also had theories about Western medicine.
An Jiu finally understood why the wheelchair was so big. It turned out that it was just a small car that carried his medicine box.
Pei Ji put on gloves and used a knife to cut open the skin of the corpse. He observed it carefully for a while without frowning the whole time.
Everyone around watched with bated breath, trying not to disturb him.
The small wound did not look abnormal. Pei Ji pondered for a moment, took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine box, opened the cap and brought it close to the wound.
As soon as the bottle was opened, everyone smelled a strange fishy smell, which was mixed with a hint of sweetness.
As the sweet and fishy smell came out, the corpse suddenly moved. Something seemed to be moving under the skin near the cut wound, propping up the skin into small bulges one after another, and quickly crawling towards the wound!
"What the hell is this thing!" He Ziqing was so scared that he jumped back and ran away far away, almost escaping the door.
Lin Qingyan also looked pale, took a deep breath and said, "It should be a Gu."
At this time, Pei Ji had taken back the porcelain bottle and put the lid back on. The insects crawling under the skin of the corpse soon died down and the body returned to normal.
He explained: "Yes, it is the Gu worm. Someone has poisoned these corpses and used the Gu to control the corpses to walk. It is not an epidemic."
Zhou Yuli looked grim: "Why did that man do that? He made the corpse move but didn't hurt anyone, why is that?"
Pei Ji shook his head: "I don't know about that. I am just a doctor, not a Gu master. I can't recognize what this Gu is, and naturally I don't know its function. But I think the other party just wants to attract attention."
Everyone understood what he said. Pinglan City was under the jurisdiction of Huashan, so it could only attract the attention of the Huashan Sect.
Xi Guangyuan asked in confusion, "Doesn't the Gu Master often operate in Southern Xinjiang? Why did he come to Pinglan City? Could it be that someone in our Huashan Sect has a grudge against the Gu Master?"
Zhou Yuli gritted his teeth, then cupped his hands to Pei Ji and bowed: "No matter what, thank you, Young Valley Master, for your help. If it weren't for you, we still wouldn't know the truth. Next, my Huashan Sect will send people to search for the Gu Master, so I won't bother you."
Pei Ji nodded slightly, smiling gently: "No need to thank me."
After finding out the reason, An Jiu and his group separated from the Huashan trio. The three brothers and sisters went to report the situation to the sect, while An Jiu went back to the inn with Pei Ji.
Before leaving, Pei Ji said to Zhou Yuli, "Brother Zhou, I heard that the Gu Master who controls the Gu worms won't be too far away. You can wait outside the charity cemetery tonight."
Zhou Yuli clasped his fists in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Young Valley Master. I will tell Master about this."
Sitting in the carriage, An Jiu was still a little dazed. Is this the end?
Why did she remember that when this part was written in the book, Pei Ji did not guess that it was the poisonous insect disaster, and went to the charity cemetery again at night to see the "living dead" with his own eyes. It happened that the poison master found them and manipulated the living dead to fight with everyone. Then everyone was poisoned, and they searched everywhere for the antidote, and then went to seek revenge on the poison master...
In short, the journey to Pinglan City was very tortuous, and the protagonists encountered many hardships before they finally captured the Gu Master and resolved the crisis.
However, this time, Pei Ji directly pointed out that it was a poisonous insect, almost pointing out the problem from the root.
Zhou Yuli was in such a hurry to return to the sect, he must have guessed something, right?
That’s right, this poisonous insect incident is actually related to the Huashan Sect.
In other words, it is related to an abandoned disciple of the Huashan Sect.
The book says that the Gu Master was originally a disciple of Huashan Sect, but because of his mediocre talent and poor skills, he was often criticized by his master. Finally, because he could not stand his master's partiality and his jealousy towards his senior brother, he injured his master and defected from the sect, and by chance, he learned the Gu technique.
Many years later, he returned from his studies and wanted to avenge his past. However, his master had already passed away and his senior brother had become the head of Huashan Sect.
He first used the Living Dead Gu to lure the Huashan Sect disciples down the mountain, and then planned to capture them all in one fell swoop. However, he did not expect to attract the protagonist group, and his plan failed.
It sounds like a story without any new ideas, but there is a plot point in it. The female supporting character An Jiu was captured by a Gu Master, who threatened He Ziqing to kill the leader of Huashan, but He Ziqing refused.
He chose to save the leader of Huashan and gave up Anjiu.
Although Anjiu was rescued safely in the end, she turned evil from that moment on, and became more and more twisted and dark, doing all kinds of bad things and bringing about her own death.
But now it seems... none of those plots will happen?
An Jiu was silent for a moment, and glanced quietly at the young man in white next to him. He saw that he was also sitting upright in the carriage, with his black hair draped over his shoulders, his long eyelashes slightly closed, as if he was resting his eyes.
I thought this guy was really going to go through the plot again... and sure enough, he still changed some things.
This is fine, she doesn't want to follow the plot.
She is a delicate young lady who is weak and helpless, how could she take the risk?
Just as she was thinking secretly, the man's drooping eyelashes suddenly fluttered, and he raised his eyes silently and looked straight at her.
"What is Miss An thinking about?"
Really sharp villain.
An Jiu blinked and said seriously, "I was wondering, can you start giving me a medicinal bath and teaching me martial arts today?"
Pei Ji paused and smiled, "Of course."
An Jiu asked curiously: "Also, what is this Gu you are talking about?"
Pei Ji explained in a gentle voice: "Gu is a kind of insect that can be controlled by people."
An Jiu shuddered. This time she was not pretending at all. She was really afraid of insects.
"Insects? Can humans control insects?"
Pei Ji smiled and said, "Of course, there are many strange things in the world, and Gu insects are just a skill. Insects have various characteristics, and many insects can be used as medicine. As for the Gu insects controlled by Gu masters, they are specially bred and have many extraordinary abilities. For example, I have heard of a kind of Gu that can drill into the human brain and suck brain fluid, and the person will have a headache and die. There is also a kind of Gu that can drill into the human heart, eat the human heart, and sever the heart's blood circulation."
An Jiu's face turned pale, and he waved his hands quickly: "Stop, stop, stop. Aren't there any better poisonous insects? Do all poisonous insects harm people like this?"
Seeing the fear in the girl's eyes, Pei Ji smiled and said slowly: "Yes, there are. For example, there is a longevity Gu. The worm will devour the impurities in human blood. The person who is infected with this Gu will be healthy and live a long life. Unfortunately, this Gu is extremely rare and almost impossible to obtain. There is also a love Gu, which is divided into a mother and a son. The person who is infected with the mother Gu can use the son Gu on the person he likes, and that person will fall in love with her as well."
After hearing this, the girl was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up as if she remembered something.
"Is there really such a poison?" His tone rose several degrees due to excitement.
The young man in white gently waved his folding fan, a smile lingering in his deep black eyes, and his tone was slightly bewitching: "Of course there is, and it is a very common Gu, most Gu Masters can make it."
After that, An Jiu seemed distracted and absent-minded.
Pei Ji didn't seem to notice. He closed his eyes and rested, his thin lips always slightly raised.
Although he destroyed the Gu Master's plan, but... some things cannot be avoided, such as An Jiu being arrested.
No one saved her in her previous life, but "Fei Yi" will save her in this life.
He thought that if he could save the beauty once more, the woman would fall deeply in love with him, and his plan would be half successful.
As for the twins... Pei Ji sent people to southern Xinjiang, but no news came back.
Southern Xinjiang is remote and xenophobic. Not only is the language unspeakable, but there are also many miasma forests. The art of refining Gu is in the hands of the Miao royal family. Those foreigners live in seclusion and rarely interact with the outside world. It will take time to find the twin Gu.
Thinking of this, Pei Ji frowned slightly.
Fortunately, this woman is not as stupid as she was in her previous life, so it is not difficult to deal with her.
"Pei Ji, I want to eat that! Buy it for me!"
A lively and charming female voice suddenly penetrated my eardrums, and at the same time, a sweet fragrance came to my face.
Pei Ji opened his eyes and saw the girl leaning over the small table in the middle, supporting herself on the table with one hand and lifting the curtain of the car opposite with the other hand, pointing at the vendor selling candied haws outside and looking at him eagerly.
In this posture, she was too close to him. He lowered his eyes slightly and could see the girl's collar slightly open when she leaned over, and her slender white collarbone underneath.
The young man in white closed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Sit back and I'll buy it for you."
The vendor outside the carriage also heard An Jiu's voice and cleverly followed the carriage, holding up a candied haws stick and shouting, "Customer, buy a candied haws! We use the best candy, freshly picked haws!"
An Jiu sat back obediently, her two beautiful peach blossom eyes staring at Pei Ji, blinking.
Pei Ji sighed resignedly, moved his body to the window, handed out the copper coins in one hand and took the candied haws in the other.
"I want two!" The girl's crisp voice came from behind again.
Pei Ji handed over two copper coins again: "One more."
The vendor handed over the candied haws with a smile and praised, "The young master and his wife have such a good relationship!"
Pei Ji was stunned, but before he could answer, the carriage had already left its original place, and the peddler did not follow, so he had no way to refute.
He held a candied haws in one hand and placed it in front of the girl with sparkling eyes.
An Jiu took it immediately, opened his rosy lips, and bit off a red candied haws ball in one bite. His white and tender cheeks suddenly became plump.
Without even raising her head, she concentrated on licking the candied haws and said vaguely, "I'm not your wife!"
It turned out that she heard it too.
As if she was afraid that he would have some improper thoughts, the girl raised her face and warned him with her eyes wide open: "I only like Fei Yi, do you understand?"
The girl couldn't keep things to herself, and she had revealed her lover a few days ago, the heroic Mr. Feiyi who saved the beauty.
Logically speaking, the more she likes Feiyi, the happier he should be.
But for some reason, seeing her disdainful look at him at this moment, Pei Ji felt a little depressed.
The author has something to say:
Anjiu: ??? Again? Do you like heroes saving beauties so much? ?
Pei Pei: (pointing fingers) I just want you to like me more...
