Chapter 24



◎ "Twin Gu, do you know?" [Three more]◎

I don't know when the wind started to blow in the forest, making the branches and leaves rustle.

Pei Ji released the scent-seeking insect, a moth-like insect that could track a certain scent.

The little bug flew forward quickly, and Pei Ji followed behind, his footsteps landing silently.

He had only been practicing his magic skills for a few days, so his internal strength was still insufficient, but initial results were already evident.

The reason why the magic skills are worthy of being called magic skills is that they are effective quickly. Ordinary people need to practice for several years to achieve peerless martial arts, but he can greatly shorten the time, which is ten or a hundred times faster than ordinary people.

Now Pei Ji is retraining again and is more skilled than before, able to avoid all the obstacles he encountered in his previous life.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to reach the level of his previous life in just half a year.

The pace of progress suddenly stopped, and Pei Ji suddenly raised his eyes and looked forward.

The sky was already turning pale, and in the forest not far ahead, there was a man in black standing under a tree, looking at him from a distance.

Pei Ji stopped and asked, "Wu Sheng?"

Wu Sheng was furious when he woke up, feeling extremely humiliated. He was narrow-minded to begin with, so of course he would not let go of the girl who had deceived him, so he chased her out without stopping, following her footprints to here.

The two met on this narrow road.

Wu Sheng's rage burned away his rationality, and he didn't know who the masked man who was blocking his way was. Anyway, anyone who stood in his way would die!

"You want to block my way?"

"No, I'm here to take your life."

Wu Sheng sneered, and without thinking, he turned his fingers, and a small bamboo flute the length of a palm appeared in his hand. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were dark as he looked grimly at the masked man in white, and put the bamboo flute to his lips.

From the movement of his lips, it looked as if he was playing the flute, but the short flute did not make any sound.

A strange, rustling sound could be heard faintly in the woods, like silkworms eating mulberry leaves, or like countless densely packed tiny insects crawling and scratching everything around them. The noise was so dense that it seemed like a rain, making one's scalp tingle.

However, at this moment, the two people standing face to face did not care about all this.

The man in white stood still, his eyes calm, as if he didn't hear the rustling sounds coming from all directions.

This is an attitude of contempt for everything.

Wu Sheng's brows became increasingly gloomy, and his fingers quickly pressed the holes on the bamboo flute, changing the music that ordinary people could not hear at all.

The rustling sound became more and more frequent, like a tide rushing towards the man in white!

If there were people watching nearby at this moment, they would see a large group of densely packed insects suddenly appear in the forest. All kinds of insects crawled out from the ground and pounced towards the man in white as if they were controlled by something.

Due to their huge numbers, the insects gathered together and formed a huge black torrent, like a giant black net, covering the man in the center.

From beginning to end, the man just stood there calmly, with a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

The only movement he made was to slide a pure white folding fan from his sleeve. The thirty-six ribs of the fan were made of precious ivory. The entire fan was snow-white, with only the word "医" written in thick ink on the fan.

Until the huge black net came within one meter of him, the insects rushing towards him suddenly stopped.

They seemed to be afraid of something, so they stopped at that distance and refused to come any closer!

Wu Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he instantly realized that he had met a strong enemy. The movements of his hands changed, and the tune became more fierce.

The insects began to become restless, fearing the people in front of them, but the urging tune from behind made them hesitate.

Finally, some bugs obeyed the 'instructions' and crawled forward.

As soon as they crawled into a range of one meter, the insects suddenly lost the ability to move, and the giant net had just spread forward less than three inches when it completely stopped!

Looking closely, I found that all the insects that crossed the one-meter line were dead!

In the blink of an eye, the entire army was wiped out.

Countless insects crawled forward, but all of them were defeated. No matter how hard they tried, they could not reach the corner of the white-clothed man's clothes, and they died halfway.

The black bugs swarmed in layer after layer, and their corpses piled up into small hills.

"Who are you?" Wu Sheng finally regained some rationality from his rage and realized that this person was not someone he could deal with.

When masters fight each other, the difference between them can often be seen at a glance.

Wu Sheng was an expert at using poison and he could tell at a glance that the man in white was also an expert at using poison and was much better than him. He needed to use poison to control insects and poison, but the man in front of him had different skills than any he had ever seen. He must be a pure poison master.

It’s not that the Gu Master is not as good as the Poison Master, but that he cannot tell the poison used by the other party.

Just now he released the poisonous insect he had cultivated, and the insect was also poisoned to death in the insect corpse as soon as it came into contact with the enemy!

Fortunately, it was not his natal Gu, otherwise Wu Sheng would have suffered heavy losses.

What do Gu Masters compete with each other for? Of course, it's poison!

This person's poison is more powerful than his. Even without the Gu, he is no match for him.

When Wu Sheng realized this, he had already backed down in his heart. He was by no means a person who would rush into anything without seeking quick success. He could even be considered cautious. When dealing with the Huashan Sect, he could only cower in the dark like a rat and did not dare to confront head-on.

"I have no grudge against you. This time it was me who offended you. I am willing to stop. I hope you will not take it to heart." Wu Sheng said flexibly.

A gentle voice came from behind the silver mask. The man in white lightly stroked the fan with his fingertips and said with a smile, "It's not like there is no grudge or hatred."

Wu Sheng frowned, not understanding when he had offended such a big enemy, and asked in confusion: "I don't know you, I don't know when I became enemies with you?"

The man in white said word by word: "You touched my things."

He raised his foot and walked forward slowly, his steps were not fast, and the insects around him did not retreat, but when he took a step forward, the insects made way for a path like Moses parting the sea. It was obvious that these were the insects controlled by Wu Sheng, but from the perspective of a bystander, the insects seemed to obey the man in white and serve him as their master.

Wu Sheng's heart was filled with alarm. He really didn't know such a powerful person, and he didn't understand how he had offended him.

But seeing that the other party was coming at him aggressively, he couldn't just run away, so he frowned, gritted his teeth and summoned his own natal Gu.

Wu Sheng's natal Gu had just been refined, and the poison was already extremely powerful. After meeting the girl with the pure jade body, he increased the toxicity, and now it is no longer trivial.

As soon as the tiny bug appeared and fell to the ground, it quickly crawled towards the man in white.

The speed of the poisonous insect was faster than the previous torrent of black insects, almost comparable to a flash of lightning. In an instant, the centipede-like insect attacked the man in white and stabbed him fiercely in the neck.

Once this poisonous insect penetrates into the person's body, it will instantly make him unable to live or die.

Wu Sheng only poisoned the girl without letting the insect infect her.

If she was truly possessed by a parasitic insect, she would probably not survive more than one night and would die from the countless pains in her body.

Even a small and insignificant wound would make her feel excruciating pain.

This Gu is Wu Sheng's masterpiece that he has cultivated for several years.

LJ

, because of it, he can be successful in everything.

The most important thing is that this Gu is immune to all poisons and no poison can kill it.

Wu Sheng raised a sinister smile, waiting to see this man kneeling down and begging for mercy, but the next second, his eyes suddenly widened.

The man in white was still standing there, his eyes lowered, his thick black eyelashes slightly closed, his gaze fixed on his hands.

Between the slender white fingers, the black poisonous insect was like a thin thread, gently pinched by two fingers, struggling and twisting constantly.

He looked at the insect with interest, then applied a little force with his fingertips, and easily pinched it in two as if he was killing an ant.

“How is this possible!” Wu Sheng blurted out uncontrollably, and at the same time he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

That was the natal Gu that he had carefully nurtured for more than ten years. It fed on the blood from his heart. Once the Gu worm died, he suffered a huge backlash and knelt on the ground, staggering.

How can someone touch a poisonous insect and not be infected by it!

Wu Sheng couldn't believe what he saw and felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.

The man in white continued to walk forward with a smile on his lips. When Wu Sheng saw this faint smile, he felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

Wu Sheng did not run away, because he knew he couldn't escape.

His martial arts skills were not good, not even as good as an average martial artist. His master and fellow disciples advised him many times, but he refused to listen and thought that martial arts was not the only way to go in the world.

Later, he proved himself and became a feared Gu Master. From then on, he completely gave up martial arts and concentrated on studying the art of Gu insects.

Is today the day he dies?

The man in white walked up to him, looked down at him, and asked with a smile: "Which hand did you use to touch the girl you took away last night?"

A hint of realization flashed across Wu Sheng's face. It turned out to be because of this.

It was not until this moment that he understood the cause of his death.

Wu Sheng gave a bitter smile and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked seriously, "Why are you not parasitized by the Gu worm?"

The white-clothed man paused his smile, and fluttered his long eyelashes gently, as if he didn't hear what he said, and said to himself: "Just assume that you are using your right hand."

He raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers at Wu Sheng's right arm. The next moment, Wu Sheng felt a burning pain in his right arm, as if his entire arm was being roasted in a stove. After a moment, he had completely lost the feeling of his right arm!

This arm was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Wu Sheng's face was pale, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead and face. He hugged his unconscious right arm and could feel that this was another kind of poison he had never seen before.

He stared at the man in white and said, "Who are you? Even if I die, let me die knowingly."

The man in white then glanced at him leisurely, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was not looking at a person, but a dead object.

There was a gentle smile on his lips, and he said slowly: "You are not qualified to know who I am."

At the moment of life and death, Wu Sheng could not care too much and threatened fiercely: "Do you want to kill me like this? I am a disciple of the Miao elders in southern Xinjiang. If my master knew that I was dead, he would definitely avenge me."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Sheng immediately felt that the way the man in white looked at him had changed, as if it was only at this moment that he was finally taken seriously by this man.

"Nanjiang... let me ask you a question. If you can answer it, I will let you go." The man in white looked at him for a moment and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.

Wu Sheng was immediately delighted: "You ask."

"Twin Gu, do you know?"

"You are looking for the twin Gu? You... are you Pei Zhou's son?" Wu Sheng widened his eyes in disbelief.

As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body suddenly felt cold.

Wu Sheng only felt that the man in white looked at him with extremely cold eyes, almost as if he was looking at a dead person.

Wu Sheng was not stupid, he knew that he had revealed the truth.

Since this man came wearing a mask, he didn't want to reveal his identity. Now that he has been recognized by him, I am afraid I am in great danger.

Wu Sheng's mind raced as he spoke quickly, "I know the whereabouts of the Twin Gu! I can help you find it! Eighteen years ago, your father came to me and asked me to look for the Twin Gu, and I found it that time!"

The man in white had dark eyes and a cold voice: "You said Pei Zhou found the Twin Gu?"

"That's right. He went to find the Twin Gu to save your mother. The poison was originally placed on your mother. But she was pregnant at the time, and the fetus in her belly was also poisoned. The poison could not be eradicated in the end."

The man in white stood motionless in the forest. The mountain wind gradually rose, making the branches dance wildly.

The corners of his snow-white clothes fluttered in the wind, and his face was hidden behind the mask, with no expression visible.

Wu Sheng's heartstrings were tense, but after a while he felt the frozen atmosphere around him relax quietly. He heard a gentle male voice ringing softly in his ear: "Okay, go find the Twin Gu. This is a Yin-Yang Talisman. It will erupt once a month. When it erupts, you will suffer from pain worse than death. I will give you an antidote every month. If you betray me, you will die of the poison."

A red pill was pinched between her jade-white fingers and placed in front of Wu Sheng.

Wu Sheng raised his head and looked at the man in white, only to see that the two eyes behind the mask were pitch black and dark, as deep and bottomless as a cold pond.

"If you find your twin, I will give you the real antidote and set you free." The man in white said slowly.

Wu Sheng knew that he had no choice. If he refused, he would die. He swallowed his saliva, took the pill, and swallowed it.

After doing all this, the man in white was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he stopped as if he remembered something.

He leaned slightly to the side and said succinctly, "The antidote for your life poison."

Wu Sheng understood immediately and explained, "You want to detoxify that little girl? I don't have an antidote for my natal Gu. To detoxify it, I need to let the Gu bite her again and suck out the toxins from her body."

The man in white was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't leave for the next few days. I'll call you to help her detoxify."

"……yes."

Wu Sheng felt bitter. He didn't expect that his plan would fail before it even started.

He also met such a terrifying young man. If he remembered correctly, Pei Zhou's son was only eighteen years old this year. At such a young age, he had mastered the art of poison, far surpassing him, a famous poison master.

The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead, and his skills are inferior to others.

But he didn't know whether Pei Zhou, the famous King of Medicine, knew that his son had gone astray.

Medicine King Pei Zhou is famous for his kind heart, but his own son has learned an extremely vicious poison technique. If this were to get out, no one would believe it, right?
