The boy's situation is also not optimistic.
He was already harmed by the Gu worm while he was in the womb. If the original owner hadn't been so lucky, he would have been biochemically aborted before his mother noticed.
Although he stubbornly came into this world, he also inherited the Gu worm from his mother!
The Gu worms require a lot of blood and nutrients, causing Ji Peilin to be malnourished for a long time. Her bones were so brittle due to calcium deficiency that she couldn't stand up, her hair was sparse, and she hadn't even grown all her baby teeth...
It can be said that if the Gu worms are allowed to continue parasitizing and feeding on her, Ji Peilin will eventually die from insufficient blood supply!
Ke Meiyu remained silent, simply picking up a book from the shelf and quietly flipping through it. Her expression was serene and relaxed, showing no sign of frowning despite the strange smell in the room.
Both the old man and the child quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
They ate their soft, mushy noodles slowly, glancing at her out of the corner of their eyes.
In their eyes, this is a beautiful and dazzling flower blooming in the house, making their whole world vibrant and full of hope.
Ke Meiyu's eyes were somewhat unfocused as she used her divine sense to browse through relevant books and materials in her spatial dimension.
Gu worms were not mentioned in the jade slips of powerful beings, after all, they were child's play to them and not worth mentioning; only mortals would bother with such things.
However, after the successive owners of the space received the inheritance of the great power, they collected many strange and unusual things into the space, including various rare books.
Ke Meiyu usually sets aside 10% of her time each time to organize these rare books. She doesn't expect to understand and master them all, but at least she wants to have an impression in her mind and know the scope of the search.
Before long, she found a notebook by a master of Gu refining.
He was a famous national master of the Ningwei Kingdom in the early Qing Dynasty. He was extremely capable, not only able to assess feng shui and exorcise demons, but also able to cure people's illnesses and break spells. He was almost omnipotent and was widely rumored to be the reincarnation of a certain star deity.
The handwritten notes of the National Preceptor Ningwei were once regarded by the emperor as the foundation for the prosperity of the country and were enshrined in the Huguo Temple. Only the abbot and his exceptionally intelligent disciples were qualified to view them.
However, due to negligence on the part of those in charge, the thick manuscript recording the legendary life of the Imperial Preceptor Ning Wei was soon completely lost. The reigning emperor at the time even mobilized a large army to search the entire capital.
The person who stole this notebook was the owner of this space, who proudly wrote his own notebook, in which he boasted about this matter.
Ke Meiyu flipped through the journal, which contained many entries about Gu worms.
There is a great deal of knowledge about Gu, including selecting Gu, raising Gu, planting Gu, summoning Gu, removing Gu, and so on. Each major category is further subdivided.
Ke Meiyu skipped over everything else and saw the method to remove the Gu.
Different types of Gu worms have different effects and require different removal methods. Therefore, Ke Meiyu must figure out what these Gu worms are and what their effects are in order to implement the corresponding removal measures!
In addition to the dense text, the notes of National Preceptor Ningwei also contain many colored illustrations to help later generations identify them.
Because the notes have been stored in the space, the drawings are still clear and vivid.
Comparing the illustrations with the images on the simulator, Ke Meiyu discovered that this was just an ordinary male Gu, capable of obeying its master's commands to hover in a certain place in the human body, constantly sucking the host's blood and releasing mild toxins.
Such toxins are not fatal, just like how tobacco and alcohol erode the body daily. You may not see any effects in the short term, but they can hinder reproduction!
It can be said that directly removing the Gu worm can eliminate its harm to the human body, and may even cause the female Gu's host to suffer a backlash.
She breathed a sigh of relief, also grateful that many traditions had been lost in the long river of history, so much so that what remained had been simplified to the point that only the surface remained.
The problem she faces now is that these Gu worms have been parasitizing the Ji family members for too long and are enormous in size. Moreover, the parts they parasitize are quite special. If they are disturbed first, it may cause great damage to the human body.
For example, Grandpa Ji's was in the brain, while Ji Peilin's was greedily hovering in the heart!
Moreover, according to the records of the National Master Ningwei, Gu worms are produced by fighting with many poisonous insects and are resistant to various drugs.
Ke Meiyu planned to first check the location of the Gu worms in the other people's bodies, conduct a few experiments to understand the situation, and then remove the Gu worms from the bodies of the old man and the child.
Now she's actually reading the book seriously.
Many of the Ji family's books were burned, but Ji Peilin's room still contained objective books. These were not boring textbooks on Chinese, mathematics, or English, but rather novels and stories about humanities, geography, customs, and character development.
"Grandpa Ji, Xiao Lin, can I take it back to read? I'll bring it back tomorrow," Ke Meiyu asked with a light laugh, holding up the book in her hand.
Grandpa Ji grunted twice, then tried his best to pronounce each word clearly: "Take it, books are meant to be read!"
Aside from the gleam in Ji Peilin's dark eyes when she appeared, she had now reverted to her usual cold and indifferent demeanor, looking down at the book in her hand without uttering a word.
Ke Meiyu smiled and nodded, then shamelessly grabbed a handful of chocolates from the tin can in front of Ji Peilin, popped one into her mouth, and mumbled, "I'll come back to exchange it after I finish watching it tomorrow!"
Ji Peilin was still a child, and the books he read taught people how to conduct themselves, and his family members all acted in the same way.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone so brazenly and openly displaying rudeness.
Her surprised expression made Ke Meiyu scratch her braid shyly, "I'll treat you to milk tea later!"
It was almost noon, and the Ji family members, who led regular lives, gradually returned home.
