Gu Yunru withdrew her hand fearfully and put on the veil. After being bitten by the poisonous person, the body must be cremated in time, otherwise something more dangerous might happen.

"Husband, help me!"

The two men nodded to each other and placed his body on the river bank for cremation.

"Now there may be more Gu people running out, we have to go back quickly!" Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen anxiously. At this moment, they have already got the Shenyou grass. In addition to giving the Shenyou grass to Shu'er, they must bring people to control these Gu people and find out the identity of the leader. What are they going to do by capturing so many children? Suddenly, she thought of what Mingxuan said to her yesterday morning. Her younger brother and sister were lost, and it is very likely that they are among these Gu people.

Xiangping tied the blade she carried with her to her waist and was about to go out when Xi Niang stopped her and said, "Xiangping, why are you rushing to the mountains in such a hurry? You don't know how dangerous it is there. The people from the government have already gone to look for them. Don't worry, they will definitely come back safely!"

"No, I have to go look for my sworn brother and Sister Gu in person. They have been so kind to me, how can I just sit in Huajian Tower and do nothing? Besides, there was no news from them all night yesterday, so it's very likely that something bad happened. I have to go and see it with my own eyes before I can give up..."

Xiangping was stubborn to begin with, and even ten oxen could not pull her back. No matter how many good and bad words Xiniang said to her, she still could not keep her. She could only watch her ride away on her horse.

"Hey... this Xiangping!" Xi Niang shook her head in anger. At this time, Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen had successfully climbed the mountain, and they still needed a few miles to get back to the city. It would be great if a wild horse could come at this time.

"Husband, did you hear the sound of horse hooves?" Gu Yunru thought she was hallucinating, but the sound of horse hooves was indeed getting closer and closer.

"Brother!" Xiangping never dreamed that when he came to the mountains, he would actually find his brother and Sister Gu.

"Xiangping, how did you get here?" Gu Yunru trotted to her side. Xiangping looked at the two of them, who were covered in dust and dirt. They must have barely managed to spend the night in the mountains last night.

"I was worried about you, so I came up the mountain to look for you. Xiniang tried to persuade me not to go up the mountain, but I had no news from you all night, and I really couldn't wait any longer." Xiangping was indescribably happy to see the two of them return safely.

"Thank you, Xiangping." Gu Yunru looked at her gratefully. It was really gratifying that she was so concerned about their safety.

"No need to thank me. You can ride this horse." Xiangping suddenly smelled blood while speaking. He sniffed the tip of his nose, thinking that there was something wrong with his nose. After a while, a few children poked their heads out from the woods in a sneaky manner. They all had strange expressions and their ankles were bare, like savages in the mountains. Gu Yunru was shocked to see this.

"Why are there so many children here?" Xiang Ping greeted the children warmly. Gu Yunru quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't get close to them. Let's go!"

"But..." Before Xiang Ping could ask in detail, several children got on all fours and pounced towards them, like angry lions, except that they were human-shaped. If they were really lions in the mountains, it would be easy to deal with them. They could just take out the poison and sprinkle it on their faces.

"What's going on? Look at their ferocious expressions, as if they want to eat us." Xiang Ping's heart was pounding. He had never seen such a weird scene before. He was surrounded by a few little kids who had not even grown all their hair. Some of them had a dark green light in their eyes, and some were like zombies, as if they were controlled by something.

"Stop talking...Husband, please don't hurt them." Gu Yunru knew that her husband was about to exert force, so she made a final plea. These children did it unconsciously.

"Yeah." Rong Zhen made way for Gu Yunru and Xiangping to return to Huajianlou first.

Gu Yunru took Xiangping on horseback back to Huajianlou. Xiniang Mazi and others had been waiting at the door for the return of the boss. Seeing the two of them looking exhausted, they didn't expect that Xiangping had really brought the boss back. However... why did it seem like there was one person missing?

"Hey, boss...where is Rong Zhen?" The bridesmaid walked up and asked curiously.

"He..." Gu Yunru felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart and was about to return to the mountains again, but was stopped by Xiangping, "You'd better not go. I believe that my brother will be able to come back safely."

"But……"

Gu Yunru listened to Xiangping's words and waited obediently in the flower room, feeling very uneasy every moment. Mingxuan ran back in a panic at this time, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his master was finally safe and sound.

"By the way, Mingxuan, take this Shenyou grass to the government office." Mingxuan took the Shenyou grass, looked at the scarred palm of her master, and said to her distressedly, "Master, are you injured?"

"It's okay, go and send him off quickly, saving lives is important."

"Um."

Gu Yunru looked at Mingxuan's back as he left, but there were some things she had been unable to say. At this moment, Rong Zhen came back carrying a sack. Seeing that her husband had finally returned after overcoming all the difficulties, she couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement.

"Husband, are you okay?" Gu Yunru came forward, and Xiniang Mazi and others were also overjoyed and hurried to the kitchen to get ready for the welcome dinner for the two. Rong Zhen put the sack down, and Xiangping came forward curiously and raised his eyebrows.

"Brother, what did you bring back?" They thought their brother had hunted some animal in the mountains in his spare time, but they saw the man's head popping out of the sack, which scared them both.

"Gu Ren..." Gu Yunru exclaimed in fear. Xiang Ping looked at her curiously, "What is a Gu Ren?"

"Gu people are children who are raised with Gu. When they grow up, their personalities change drastically and they are easily controlled by others. However, these Gu people are of the lowest level because they do not have much power. These people are raised from children, and when they grow up, their power will be extremely huge.

By then, they will be invincible. Those with ulterior motives will use this witchcraft to control them and gain their own benefits."

Gu Yunru couldn't help but shake her head. It was obvious how vicious the people hiding behind were! They actually started with these poor and innocent children, making them lose their humanity. They had never eaten cooked food since they were raised. After the survival of the fittest, the group of Gu people who survived would grow into the most terrifying dark force.

It is still unknown how many places in Qizhou City there are such people.
