Chapter 68: Gu Zong's Traces
Wang Yao didn't expect that there were such things as magic weapons in this world. Magic weapons have spiritual powers and can protect their masters, which is comparable to spiritual weapons.
The most important reason why spiritual weapons surpass the best magic weapons is that they are spiritual. Not only can they operate according to the owner's wishes, but they can also adapt to changes to a certain extent.
After some communication, the truth came to light. The Gu Du Sect coveted the magic weapon, but the magic weapon would only recognize one master after it was born.
The Gu Du Sect wanted to use brain poison to control Gu Ying, but they didn't dare to confront the magic weapon directly, so they could only use some dirty tricks.
But what was unexpected was that Kuang Dao, in order to protect his master, not only killed all the residents of Zhaojiabao who were controlled by the brain poison, but also killed Hong Jiu who had the strength of the Xuanbang.
Just as several people were silent, each thinking about their own things, the atmosphere became a little weird.
The shopkeeper, the two children, and the three guests at the only table all stood up, stared at them with their eyes rolled back, and walked towards them step by step.
Wang Yao asked, "What's going on? Are these people also infected with the brain poison?"
Then, Wang Yao checked the five elements internally and found that the qi of the five elements was disordered, indicating that he was poisoned.
But nothing in the world can transcend the five elements. Since Wang Yao had noticed it in advance, it was easy. The five elements rotated and all transformed into green wood energy.
The energy of life cleansed his entire body, especially his head.
Yan Wu immediately took out a bottle from her arms, poured out a pill and swallowed it, and immediately a mouthful of light black blood spurted out.
It worked, so she immediately gave one to Wang Yao and Gu Ying, saying, "This is a specially made detoxification pill. You can hold up."
Gu Yao ate it immediately, and within a few seconds, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Only Wang Yao was fine after eating it because he had already cleared the poison.
"It seems I'm not poisoned." Wang Yao pretended to spit out a little saliva.
He continued, "I say, I'm not afraid of ordinary poisons, but is the brain poison so easy to use?" He was still a little afraid of this kind of insect that eats the brain directly.
Yan Wu shook her head and said, "Real brain poison is extremely precious and can survive for a long time, like the one in Hong Jiu's brain. However, the conditions for administering the poison are quite harsh.
They control ordinary people by using sub-worms, which are very tiny and can only survive for a period of time. The dull faces of the victims are very easy to recognize.
These insects usually attack when people aren't paying attention, so as long as you take precautions and don't eat anything else, you should be able to avoid them."
Gu Ying seemed to recall something and said, "It seems to be true. It was always those few people who entertained me in Zhaojiabao. The rest of the residents seemed listless and a little dazed."
Wang Yao jumped out and broke through the window, shouting to Yan Wu and Gu Ying, "They must be nearby, otherwise how can we control these people?"
Yan Wu and Gu Ying understood Wang Yao's meaning. To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. A quick victory might be able to save the situation.
Yan Wu said that during the disaster forty years ago, there was a record that people who had just been controlled by the brain poison worm could
Sure enough, three people in brightly colored clothes were standing on a hillside not far away, their eyes closed.
Seeing Wang Yao and the others coming out, the controlled shopkeeper and others rushed up like crazy.
"Don't worry about them, just catch the people from Gu Sect!" Yan Wu took the lead and floated over like a fallen leaf.
Gu Ying's eyes were red, and he rushed out with a sword drawn, like a whirlwind.
More than a thousand lives, and Mr. Hong, were all caused by you.
They all had great martial arts skills. Wang Yao admired them in his heart and was not willing to be outdone. With the rotation of the five energies, his speed was not slow either.
"Hehehe." The three people from the Gu Du Sect laughed, untied their robes, and a bunch of dense poisonous insects ran out.
Centipedes, poisonous snakes and scorpions blocked Wang Yao and his companions' way, and they had to stop for a while to clean up these poisonous creatures.
By the time they got around the group of poisonous creatures, the three had disappeared.
On the hillside, it was already dark and it was impossible to see clearly in the distance.
Wang Yao said calmly, "He's good at using poison and gu. He's no match for me in a head-on confrontation, but he's also known for knowing his own limitations."
Yan Wu nodded and sighed, "They are all in the Inner Qi realm, and they have poisonous insects to help them. If they just want to run, there's really no way to stop them."
Only Gu Ying drew his sword and slashed on the slope in hatred. The enemy was right in front of him, but he let them run away.
On the way back, several people who were controlled by the poisonous insects had fallen to the ground, foaming at the mouth and dead.
Yan Wu stepped forward to investigate and said, "They're all dead. They must have taken the initiative to cut off contact, causing the Gu to commit suicide."
"It's me again. I've hurt so many people. I'm sorry." Gu Ying knelt on the ground crying bitterly.
The temptation of the magic weapon is too great. If the magic weapon does not recognize its master, every time it comes into the world, it will cause a bloody storm.
Even so, the owner of the magic weapon often does not have a good ending, unless he is protected by some large or super power.
After Wang Yao and his men moved the corpse to the inn, they took a look at the poisonous food and didn't want to spend the night there anymore.
Chengshan City is not far away, and the government also needs to seal off this place and clean and disinfect it. If that is not easy, the only option is to burn the inn down.
It was already the end of the You hour, and the city gates were closed, making it impossible to enter or exit.
But the name of the Wubusi was really useful. After Yan Wu shouted and verified the identity of the token, the city gate was still opened.
After giving some instructions to the night watch commander, a group of soldiers left the city gate and went to burn the inn and collect the bodies.
Yan Wu could use her power to make those below her fear her, but Wang Yao did not act unkindly. Instead, he took out 150 taels of silver.
Fifty taels will be used as labor fee, and one hundred taels will be given to the guard to give to the family of the deceased so that they can do the aftermath.
This made Gu Ying feel a little ashamed. He, the "culprit", was not as thoughtful as Wang Yao.
It’s not that Wang Yao is particularly kind, but he won’t be stingy when it comes to small things.
The three of them randomly found an inn in the city and spent the night there without saying a word.
The next morning, outside the inn, Yan Wu was leading her horse and preparing to leave.
Wang Yao and Gu Ying saw them off, and Yan Wu prepared to return to Zhongzhou headquarters to report the details of the case to Xiang Bing. Of course, the fact that there were remnants of the Gu Du Sect here had already been sent out via carrier pigeons.
Gu Ying stood there with a struggling expression. After hesitating for a long time, he said to Yan Wu, "Officer Yan, I'd like to join the Military Police Department. Is that possible?"
Yan Wu had already mounted her horse. She glanced at Gu Ying and said, "Your strength has already reached the requirements of a patrol officer, not to mention you have a magic weapon. But what is your reason for wanting to join?"
"One is to atone for my sins and do my part to help wipe out the Gu Du Sect; the other is to leave and not want to implicate innocent people anymore." Gu Ying said with some pain.
Yan Wu nodded and said, "I agree. Of course, the details still need to be approved by the higher-ups. It's a good opportunity for you to undergo a blood transfusion in Zhongzhou and break through to the second level of martial arts. The Gu Du Sect isn't that bold to enter Zhongzhou yet."
Gu Ying was just about to ride her own yellow-maned horse, but Yan Wu pointed at the horse that Wang Yao was holding.
Yan Wu snorted and said, "Bian Jiu, since you don't want to join the Wubu Division, just give up your horse."
Wang Yao was helpless. His plan was to penetrate the Yellow List, not to join the Wubu Division and risk his life. He could only let Gu Ying take away this good horse.
The two of them ran away, and Wang Yao took the two scrolls given by Yan Wu and stuffed them into his bag.
He walked alone towards a gang headquarters in the city, where there was a master who was ranked over 700 on the Yellow List.
