"good."
Aside from leaving guards to watch over the children, Yuan Hong and Da Pu also returned to Jinghuanglu with the two men.
When Su Ruojin and her group arrived, Hu Qing had already left with Yanluo and Aya. Even Ye Xunzhi, upon hearing about this, followed them down the mountain, wanting to see the children.
Only Fu Linglong remained on the mountain.
With the master gone, Xiao Yanchu had no way to get him to examine A Jin's health.
However, seeing that Ah Jin's complexion had improved considerably after returning to Jinghuanglu, Xiao Yanchu was somewhat relieved.
Su Ruojin explained the situation to Fu Linglong, "Fifth Master, do you know what Gao Hongyuan is trying to do?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Linglong pondered for a moment, "Xiao Jin, did you bring back that 'Ten Thousand Gu Scroll'?"
"I brought it back."
"Go and get it."
"I'll go." Xiao Yanchu got up and took the book.
Fu Linglong took the book and began flipping through the pages.
Su Ruojin didn't know what her master was looking for, but she didn't ask and waited quietly to the side.
The Myriad Gu Scrolls are very thick, containing many strange Gu techniques, not the mainstream Gu techniques recorded by the Star Gu Pavilion.
It's more like a collection of strange tales and anecdotes related to Gu magic. Su Ruojin took it back because she was curious about what kind of strange Gu magic existed in the world.
The Jinghuang Lodge was very quiet at this time, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the bamboo forest and the sound of Fu Linglong turning the pages of her book.
As Su Ruojin listened to these sounds, her eyelids began to droop. Xiao Yanchu gently helped her up and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
Just as Su Ruojin was about to close her eyes completely, Fu Linglong exclaimed, "Found him! This Gao Hongyuan, he's so vicious!"
Fu Linglong's voice instantly dispelled Su Ruojin's sleepiness: "Fifth Master, have you found out?"
"I found it, Xiao Jin, look here!"
Su Ruojin took the book and looked at it; it said:
To refine human Gu, one must find a boy under the age of fourteen, as boys have the strongest Yang energy, making them most suitable for Gu refinement. After selection, feed him with a mind-controlling Gu refined from various poisons to rob him of his mind.
At first, the child was afflicted by the Gu poison, experiencing severe physical and mental pain. However, as he gradually adapted, the whites of his eyes turned red, and his mind was gradually lost due to the poison's corrosive effects.
Then, the children were made to fight and kill each other, driven by the Gu poison to their survival instincts, all of them turning into ferocious creatures, arousing their wildness. Those who could persist for a hundred days became Gu children.
After undergoing this process, the Gu child was physically and mentally damaged, and became like a madman. So, poisonous creatures were used to bite his body, injecting the essence of the poison into his body. Then, he was soaked in poison to refine a body that was immune to all poisons.
Once the Gu Child is successfully refined, its skin, tendons, and bones have all been transformed, making it resemble a ghost, impervious to swords and spears, and possessing immense strength; this is the Human Gu.
Human Gu has lost its humanity, is loyal to the Gu Master, and can be commanded to go to heaven and earth, and is omnipotent.
Su Ruojin grew increasingly horrified as she read on; Gao Hongyuan was actually going to refine a human Gu!
Only boys under the age of fourteen can refine this human Gu.
She thought of the Emperor's selection of companions for his studies.
At first, Su Ruojin just felt a little strange. Even if Ji Yanzhuo was a spoiled super-strong baby and had a violent temper, how many study companions could a seven-year-old child kill?
But if Gao Hongyuan used this as an excuse to capture these boys to practice human gu, then everything makes sense!
Xiao Yanchu thought of another question, "Fifth Master, what use are those children's blood and sweat?"
