Chapter 66 Brain Gu
"What brain poison?" Wang Yao was about to step on the jumping insect to death, but he saw that Jian Chang and Yan Wu looked very cautious.
The coroner was also frightened. He was the person closest to the white worm and he never expected that such a big worm could pop out of a human head.
Yan Wu took the coroner out, rewarded him with two taels of silver, and told him not to tell anyone else, otherwise his life would be in danger.
After the outsiders were gone, Jian Chang continued, "The brain poison has not been seen in the martial arts world for a long time. I only learned about it from the files.
As far as I know, the brain poison was only possessed by the Gu Du Sect a few decades ago, but wasn't the Gu Du Sect already wiped out? "
Yan Wu also picked up a small knife and poked the white insect that slowly stopped jumping. Her face turned pale as if she suddenly thought of something.
"The brain poison can control a living person. You can't tell from the outside that the person has been poisoned. Only the person who has been poisoned knows that the brain poison has already eaten away the person's brain."
When Wang Yao heard Yan Wu's terrifying words, he couldn't help but take a look at Hong Jiu's head and found that there was indeed a small hole.
"You said it was all gone? But Hong Jiu didn't lose much." Wang Yao asked curiously.
Jian Chang and Yan Wu took a look and confirmed something, saying, "This means that the brain insect only started to eat Hong Jiu not long after he was controlled, or even after he died."
Wang Yao proposed a hypothesis, saying, "Do you think it's possible that Hong Jiu discovered he was infected with the brain parasite and asked Kuang Dao to kill him?"
Jian Chang glanced at Wang Yao with admiration and said, "Hong Jiu has experienced the era when the brain insect was rampant. He knows the horror of the brain insect, so this is a possibility."
Although what Wang Yao said was indeed incredible, who wouldn't want to live longer, but for Hong Jiu it was indeed possible.
Yan Wu also nodded in affirmation. Her face was still pale as she recalled the tragedy recorded in the file.
"The Gu Sect was a large force forty years ago. At its peak, it was even on par with several major martial arts sacred places. The leader of the Gu Sect at that time was an ambitious man.
Hundreds of wild poisonous insects were collected from the poisonous forest in the southwest, and finally the brain poison was cultivated, which can turn a living person into a puppet.
At first, the Gu Sect was secretive, only targeting those without sects or small forces. Later, they controlled more and more people, until several Grandmasters of the Holy Land were also under their control.
Wang Yao felt his scalp tingling when listening to Yan Wu's story. If one day you find out that the relatives around you are all puppets, just pieces of emotionless wood, will you collapse?
Yan Wu, who had always been heroic, strong and decisive in Wang Yao's eyes, now spoke in a lower voice.
Jian Chang interrupted Yan Wu and explained to Wang Yao, "After the incident was exposed, the Wubu Division and the major superpowers joined forces to suppress it. Fires broke out in the backyards of various factions, and almost every faction had people controlled by the brain poison.
Two fists cannot beat four hands. All forces, regardless of the losses, finally wiped out all the members of the Gu Sect. Once the person who controls the Gu died, the brain Gu would naturally die as well.
This was a catastrophe for the martial arts world, and one could even say it was a catastrophe for the Wu Dynasty. Some small and medium-sized factions were even wiped out, and the number of Wubu Division officers lost was incalculable."
Wang Yao's face was heavy as he asked, "So what this means is that there are still descendants of the Gu Sect alive? And they're already causing trouble in the dark. That would be dangerous."
Jian Chang nodded and took out a porcelain bottle to put the brain poison that was broken into two pieces.
"Since Gu Ying may not be the murderer, I will return to Zhongzhou to report. Yan Wu, you will continue to track down Gu Ying's whereabouts and find out the truth."
Afterwards, Yan Wu and Wang Yao stood at the gate of the county government office and watched Jian Chang leave on horseback.
"What do you mean, Detective Yan, I don't have to follow you from now on, right?" Wang Yao looked at Yan Wu with some amusement.
Yan Wu rolled her eyes at Wang Yao and said, "Don't call me a divine detective casually. In the Wubu Division, only the master-level detectives can be called divine detectives.
By the way, how did you know that there was something wrong with Mr. Hong's body? It wasn't poisonous, but it wasn't far off.
Wang Yao would never tell her that this was something that came naturally after perfecting the Five Elements of Xiantian Yi Qigong. He simply replied, "It's a unique secret. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you directly."
In fact, Wang Yao couldn't explain it clearly. He just felt that the five elements remaining in Hong Jiu's body were not right, very disordered, and the source pointed to the brain.
Yan Wu couldn't force others, so she could only arrange the next itinerary.
"Let's go to the area around Hong Jiu's body and check if there are any clues. Where did Gu Ying go?"
Wang Yao was dissatisfied and said, "No, you Wubusi are still being unreasonable. You said it was the Gu Zong who was behind this. I am no longer a suspect."
Yan Wu smiled coldly and said, "Why, you are so reluctant to serve the court? What about the dozens of lives lost by the Dali Gang? We have solid evidence in our hands. According to the military law, killing someone means paying with one's life."
Wang Yao was speechless. What era was it now? He was still citing the Wu Law. Except when Wu Zu was alive, the Wu Law was just a piece of waste paper.
But Wang Yao understood that even if it was a fight in the martial arts world, it could not be brought to the surface, so he could only accept his fate.
Wang Yao listlessly mounted the horse and staggered forward, not caring about Yan Wu who had not yet mounted the horse.
He had already made up his mind to slack off. Why were they arresting able-bodied men? He would not say another word from now on.
"Chirp." A white bird flew over them again.
"Hey, your pigeons are here again." However, Wang Yao failed the next second and shouted to Yan Wu who had just mounted the horse.
Because Wang Yao remembered that the Wubu Division seemed to be able to find out a lot of things, so it would not be too much to take a look at the files of the Wordless Book of Heaven.
Yan Wu read the news and rode up to catch up. She said with some joy, "There's news about Gu Ying. She's resting in an inn outside Chengshan City."
Then she took out a very small pill and fed it to the white bird perched on her shoulder. The bird then flew away satisfied.
Yan Wu raised her chin towards Wang Yao and said, "The little pigeon I raise is not an ordinary pigeon. I rescued it and it is very human."
Wang Yao expressed his envy in a very exaggerated way, with all kinds of praise overflowing from his words, almost praising the bird as a descendant of the phoenix.
"If someone shows you kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief." Yan Wu didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Yao's mischief and said coldly.
"There's nothing I can do. If you, the Wubo Division, want me to do something, you have to give me some benefits, right?" Wang Yao was not a shameless person, so he said it directly.
Yan Wu covered her forehead. She never thought that Wang Yao was thinking about this. "Okay, for discovering the brain poison this time, the department will give you a commendation, not to mention your assistance in the investigation later."
Sure, just agree to it. Wang Yao continued, "I don't want money, I just want some information."
Yan Wu rolled her eyes at Wang Yao and said, "Tell me what you want to know. The Wubu Division has the most comprehensive intelligence system."
"All the information about the Wordless Heavenly Book, including the whereabouts of the contents inside." Wang Yao opened his mouth loudly.
"That's wishful thinking, but it depends on your performance." Yan Wu thought for a moment, waved the whip to speed up, and shook off Wang Yao.
