Chapter 665 Three Treasures
As one of the national treasures of Nanyue Country, the place where the Incarnation Gu is stored is naturally extraordinary.
It was placed in the Cave of Insects.
There were guards outside the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects. They were surprised to see King Nanyue coming and quickly knelt down to pay their respects.
King Nanyue signaled them to open the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Insects is full of poisonous insects. Ordinary people would definitely die if they went in. But with King Nanyue present, things became very simple.
She carries the King of Gu with her, and as soon as she enters the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects, all the poisonous insects will retreat on their own.
Xiao Xixi carried King Nanyue on her back and walked into the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects, while Fang Wujiu and Caidie were left at the entrance of the cave.
The light in the cave was dim, and the rock walls on both sides were covered with dense insects.
Although she couldn't see clearly, Xiao Xixi could feel that the poisonous insects were watching them.
There were some bones scattered on the ground and the air was filled with the smell of decay.
The cave was very quiet and the sound of Xiao Xixi's footsteps could be clearly heard.
King Nanyue suddenly asked.
"Is he okay?"
Her tone was very calm, as if she was just asking how an old friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time was doing.
Xiao Xixi knew who she was asking and replied softly.
"He's fine."
King Nanyue: "Then... is he married?"
Xiao Xixi: "No."
King Nanyue: "Really?"
Xiao Xixi: "I don't know what happened in the past. Anyway, since I entered the sect, Master has never left Xuanmen. He has always stayed in Xuanmen, living with us disciples. There is no one else around him except us."
When King Nanyue heard this, he felt inexplicably better.
But then she felt a little annoyed.
He would rather live with a few apprentices than come back to find her.
Did he really despise her? !
Xiao Xixi carried her on his back until the end of the Cave of Insects before stopping.
There is a circular altar in front.
There are three stone pillars on the altar, and a poisonous snake is wrapped around each pillar.
King Nanyue: "Put me down."
Xiao Xixi put her down carefully.
King Nanyue's health was so poor that he found it extremely strenuous to walk just a few steps.
Xiao Xixi supported her the whole time, fearing that she would fall.
After much difficulty, he walked up to the altar and came to one of the stone pillars.
The poisonous snake wrapped around the stone pillar sensed the breath of a living person and swam down slowly. It stuck its head out, but after sensing the breath of the Gu King on King Nanyue, it retracted its head and dared not move again.
King Nanyue stretched out his pale and slender fingers and gently pressed the mechanism hidden on the stone pillar.
There was a clicking sound.
A metal box popped out from the stone pillar.
King Nanyue opened the box and took out the small black jade bottle inside.
She opened the vial and took a look. There was a light green poisonous insect inside.
The poisonous insect was originally dormant, but after sensing the breath of a living person, it immediately woke up and extended a thin tentacle to observe the outside environment.
Xiao Xixi also came over and looked into the bottle.
She saw the light green poisonous insect and asked curiously.
"Is this the incarnation Gu?"
King Nanyue nodded: "Yes, that's it."
She capped the vial and handed it to Xiao Xixi.
"Take it. It's yours from now on."
Xiao Xixi quickly took the black jade bottle and said happily, "Thank you!"
King Nanyue reminded.
“Although the incarnation Gu can allow a person to reshape his physical body, the process is extremely painful.
Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.
If you can't survive the process of breaking out of the cocoon.
In the end, you will just become food for the incarnation Gu and be devoured by it."
Xiao Xixi had long guessed that this process would not be easy.
She was mentally prepared and said seriously.
"As long as I can survive, I can endure any pain."
King Nanyue looked at her determined eyes, suddenly seemed to understand something, and asked with a smile.
"You want to live so much, is it because someone is waiting for you?"
Xiao Xixi nodded shyly: "Yes."
King Nanyue's eyes revealed an emotion that was not sure whether it was envy or emotion, and he sighed softly, "That's great."
She glanced at the other two stone pillars and sighed softly, looking very helpless.
“He came to Nanyue in order to steal our Nanyue treasures.
We in Nanyue have three treasures in total.
They are Insect Flute, Incarnation Gu, and Gu King.
They are all placed here.
He took the insect flute away back then, and now he has given you the incarnation Gu. Now we in Nanyue only have the Gu King as our treasure left."
Xiao Xixi stuffed the black jade bottle into her arms and asked curiously.
"That was the insect flute that Master took away back then?"
Talking about these past events, King Nanyue's face turned ugly.
She said coldly, "He didn't say what he took away, but the Incarnation Gu and the Gu King are both here, so the thing that was taken away could only be the Insect Flute."
Xiao Xixi: "Have you ever thought about taking the insect flute back?"
King Nanyue said nothing.
That person abandoned her when she was most helpless, and before leaving he stole the insect flute, one of Nan Yue’s greatest treasures.
Whenever she thought of these things, she felt angry and hateful.
She was angry at the man's ruthlessness, and hated her own stupidity even more.
So much so that over the years, she didn't want to think about that person anymore, and never thought about getting the insect flute back.
Xiao Xixi was quite curious: "What does the insect flute look like?"
King Nanyue asked back, "Didn't he take out the insect flute and show it to you?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "No, when I was a kid I often went to play in my master's room. There were many strange things in his room, but I had never seen anything like a flute."
Not to mention a flute, there isn't even a musical instrument in the master's room.
Compared to playing the piano or flute and making music, the old master obviously prefers playing mahjong.
Xiao Xixi's heart moved, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
"Wasn't it the insect flute that Master took away back then?"
King Nanyue: "Impossible. His mission back then was to take away Nanyue's most precious treasures. The Insect Flute, the Gu King, and the Incarnation Gu are Nanyue's most precious treasures. The Gu King and the Incarnation Gu are both here. The only thing he can take away is the Insect Flute."
Xiao Xixi: "But I really haven't seen any insect flute from Master."
King Nanyue: "Maybe he is hiding."
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "No, Master is a very kind person. He never hides anything from us. Everything he has is laid out in the open for us to use as we please."
King Nanyue stopped talking again.
Xiao Xixi's gaze lingered on the remaining two stone pillars.
"If you want to know whether Master has taken the Bug Flute, wouldn't you know if you just check it out? Since you are here, you might as well take a look."
King Nanyue originally wanted to refuse.
But somehow, perhaps it was because of the blue sachet that was lost and found, or maybe it was because of those memories that she deliberately avoided thinking about.
She agreed for some unknown reason.
She comforted herself, since she was already here, it would be no harm to take a look, just as a way to end her last bit of longing.
King Nanyue pointed to the stone pillar on the right.
Xiao Xixi understood and helped her walk to the stone pillar.
