Chapter 80: Gu worms, poisonous corpses, and the Wan Gu Sect
"Tap, tap, tap! This is the Spirit Bird Garden!"
As soon as Yun Huaiyue came in, the spirit bird flapped its wings gracefully and lowered its head to fly over to her.
The wings are pure white and the body is covered with a thin halo.
“So beautiful!”
Ning Shengsheng exclaimed in amazement and stood on tiptoe to touch the spirit bird.
"An An likes it too? Then I'll give you one. You can pick any spirit bird in the garden."
Yun Huaiyue waved generously.
Ning Shengsheng wanted to hug the rich woman tightly and kiss her. As soon as she came in, she fell in love with the wings with light pink edges.
"I want that one!" She was not polite either. After all, she had to repay the favor she owed.
"Okay..." Yun Huaiyue stretched out her hand, "Qiqi, give me the pink spirit bird tag."
Not far away.
The disciple who was feeding the spirit bird paused and slowly walked towards the wooden house at the back.
After a while,
Come over with the token in both hands.
"Senior Sister Yun, the token."
"Qiqi, are you feeling unwell?" Yun Huaiyue took the token and saw that her face was pale.
"Yeah, a little bit, heatstroke."
The disciple called Qiqi bowed and retreated.
Ning Shengsheng noticed that every time the opponent performed a set of movements, there would always be a moment of delay.
Like...
A puppet in the secret realm of Qingling Sect.
Something is getting wrong.
"Junior sister, this will be your spirit bird from now on. Give it a name!"
Yun Huaiyue stuffed the token into her hand.
Thoughts were withdrawn.
Ning Shengsheng gently stroked the feathers of the spirit bird, her eyes and eyebrows filled with joy.
"Why not just call it Mao Tao?"
"Look, it's round and a little pink, like an unripe peach, so cute~"
Yun Huaiyue murmured for a long time, "Just call it Mao Tao."
Although their spirit birds are usually named Qingyu, Wuling, Shanmei, etc., it’s fine as long as Junior Sister Ning likes it.
Ning Shengsheng buried her face in Mao Tao's chest.
Soft.
So comfortable!
Each of them rode a spirit bird and rushed to the alchemy room.
The most important thing in Baiyao Valley is alchemy, and there are countless alchemy rooms built on the flat land halfway up the mountain.
Each alchemy room is fully equipped.
There are even tea, pastries, and spirit gathering arrays.
"Mother said that refining the elixir is exhausting, so she prepared everything for the disciples to make them more comfortable."
"Valley Master is so talented~"
Ning Shengsheng gave a thumbs up.
“Brother Shen, I need a key to the alchemy room.”
Yun Huaiyue walked forward and saw Shen Qinghe looking through today's alchemy details behind the counter.
"Junior sister, why are you in the alchemy room?"
He asked with a normal look.
Ning Shengsheng's sixth sense felt that something was wrong.
"If alchemy is so boring, why don't you take the princess to play in Taolin Waterfall?"
"Eh? Senior brother did remind me." Yun Huaiyue turned around and asked, "An An, let me take you to play in the water."
"Senior Sister, I'm quite interested in alchemy. Would you like to take a walk and then go play in the water?" Ning Shengsheng's eyes were sincere.
"Okay, brother, give me the key!"
Shen Qinghe glanced at Ning Shengsheng and took a key with the letter "A" printed on it. "That's fine, go ahead."
Yun Huaiyue took her hand and left.
Ning Shengsheng felt a chill on her back, and the coldness penetrated into her cervical vertebrae.
She looked back.
Shen Qinghe didn't look at her, but was looking down at the details.
“Click—”
The Jiazi alchemy room was opened.
It was clean and bright inside, and the surrounding walls were made of black iron stone, probably because they were afraid that the disciples would explode the furnace.
Yun Huaiyue proudly introduced the layout.
Ning Shengsheng carefully checked the room and found black powder in the gaps between the cushions.
Dip your index finger.
I put it to my nose and smelled it, it had a pungent and foul smell.
"The alchemy room is not only stocked with spiritual herbs to keep the alchemists focused, but also has notes from our seniors..."
"You smell it."
Ning Shengsheng put her index finger to the tip of Yun Huaiyue's nose.
"It stinks, what is this?"
"I found it here." Ning Shengsheng tapped the remaining powder next to the cushion with her toes.
Yun Huaiyue looked puzzled and squatted down to put the black powder into a sealed bag.
"Take it back and study it."
The heroine is worthy of being the heroine. As long as she is not love-brained, she is capable and has super quick reactions.
"Senior Sister Yun, let's pretend we didn't notice anything and go play over at Taolin Waterfall for a while."
She had some hidden intention and wanted to test Yun Huaiyue's attitude towards Shen Qinghe.
If the other party blindly trusts the people from her sect, she will not interfere.
Yun Huaiyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips, "An An, I understand what you mean, don't worry."
Her attitude reassured Ning Shengsheng.
The two of them left the alchemy room talking and laughing, and when they left, they asked Shen Qinghe if he wanted to join them.
Shen Qinghe refused with a smile.
He looked at the two people's backs as they left and pondered.
On the way to Taolin.
Ning Shengsheng: "Senior Sister Yun, do you know anything about puppets?"
"Of course I know."
"Then do you know about poisonous corpses?"
"Poisonous corpse? What is that?" Yun Huaiyue asked in confusion.
Ning Shengsheng remembered that when Suo Yunhuan's novel was serialized, videos of young people from Miao areas were popular on Douyin.
The author suddenly added Wan Gu Men to the end of the novel.
The disciples are good at using poisonous insects.
It brings a lot of trouble to the male and female protagonists.
"He can use poisonous insects to control the human brain and use it for his own purposes. I just saw a green mark on the back of the neck of a disciple from the Medicine Field. Later, when we went to the Spirit Bird Garden, Qiqi's movements were stagnant, as if she was being controlled, not a subconscious reaction."
Yun Huaiyue's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"I also noticed something was wrong. I was thinking about puppetry or something like that, but puppetry requires refining a corpse."
"It does match what you said about the poisonous corpse being controlled by the Gu worm. Do you think it has anything to do with Second Brother?"
"I don't know if they are related yet." Ning Shengsheng pondered for a moment, "Let's go out and explore tonight?"
"Um!"
Yun Huaiyue's eyes were firm.
"Mother is in seclusion, I have to protect Baiyao Valley!"
The two of them flew to the peach forest, played in the water, caught fish, and played around carefree, all for Shen Qinghe to see.
Danxia dyed the sky full.
Then he rode back on the spirit bird.
Deep in the peach forest, Shen Qinghe looked at the direction they left thoughtfully. He raised his finger slightly, and a centipede crawled out of his sleeve. "My dear, follow them."
The centipede raised half of its body and burrowed into the grass.
at night.
After dinner, Ning Shengsheng changed into night clothes.
And she insisted on wearing the facekini she had sewn herself.
system:……
The Mirror Nightmare could no longer bear it and came out to complain: "Master, do you really have to wear this ugly thing?"
"Oh." Ning Shengsheng put it on her head calmly, "That's right."
"Okay."
He glanced at Ning Shengsheng's mask, which only revealed her eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Can you breathe?"
“…”
Ning Shengsheng: "Don't worry about it."
“Squeak—”
Yun Huaiyue opened the door stealthily and looked up to see a man wearing an ugly mask.
“Ah~!~!”
Screaming out in fear.
"Junior Sister Ning?" Her tone was hesitant.
"Yeah~" the person in the mask said in a muffled voice.
It’s Junior Sister Ning, for sure.
She patted her chest with lingering fear, "Hello..."
The word "ugly" was not finished.
The same mask was put on my head.
Yun Huaiyue: “…”
