This is the road to the Valley of the Underworld.
Ye Nanxing was shocked. She ran to Qin Luo's side and said in a panic, "Senior, it was all my fault for provoking you. Please don't blame my family!"
Qin Luo shook his head slightly and said softly, "I have some doubts, so I want to go to the Netherworld Valley to ask."
Ye Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "Senior, is there something you're wondering about?"
"I might be under a spell."
"Poisoned?"
Ye Nanxing stared at Qin Luo, her eyebrows slightly curved, and said with a smile, "My Gu technique is not as good as my mother-in-law's, but I can be sure that you have not been poisoned by Gu."
"So I'm going to ask your mother-in-law."
Qin Luo joked with a smile.
Ye Nanxing scratched his head awkwardly.
"Senior, why do you feel that you have been poisoned by a curse? Are there any special symptoms?"
"There's a girl whose fragrance makes me gradually lose my mind. Do you know why?"
Who is it?
The little dumpling was a bit confused.
"Flower Shadow".
"It's her."
The little dumpling grinned foolishly, "Hehe, it's a pity she left Longhu Temple, it would be so much better if she stayed to work."
Ye Nanxing frowned as he pondered, "The Heavenly Fragrance Gu can release a unique fragrance that can disturb people's minds, but with your cultivation level, you are completely immune to the Heavenly Fragrance Gu. It shouldn't be the Heavenly Fragrance Gu. I can't think of any other Gu."
Qin Luo chuckled and joked, "So you should stay home and cultivate more, instead of wandering around aimlessly."
"Uh-huh."
Ye Nanxing nodded guiltily.
She felt embarrassed by what Qin Luo said.
"hey-hey."
"I just love reading."
The little dumpling held the Thousand Character Classic and said.
Qin Luo smiled and nodded, "You should learn from Chu Peiran: read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles."
"No, I only want to eat Wanlilu."
"As long as you don't cause trouble, it's fine."
"I know!"
Shi Tou followed quietly behind Qin Luo and the others. He was barefoot, carrying a bundle filled with tattered clothes that he couldn't bear to throw away. He practiced his boxing as he walked, silently repeating whatever the little dumpling chanted in his mind.
They walked more than ten miles into the depths of the mountains, where they encountered more and more poisonous insects. Little Tuanzi took a bamboo stick and casually stuck it into a large black spider.
"Hehe, the mountains are still the best."
After eating the spider, the little dumpling still felt unsatisfied, so she ran into the grass to catch centipedes and scorpions, and put them directly into her mouth. She treated all kinds of poisonous insects as snacks.
Ye Nanxing was quite frightened by her, not knowing what kind of ferocious beast she was in her true form, that she could be so domineering.
Stone was too afraid to catch poisonous insects, but he caught a locust instead. "Sister Tuanzi, do you want to eat this?"
Eat!
"Locusts have lots of meat and taste good."
Little Dumpling and Stone caught a lot of locusts along the way. She skewered the locusts on bamboo sticks, breathed out a wisp of flame, and roasted the locusts until they sizzled and dripped oil.
"Stone, here's a bite for you."
"Thank you, Sister Tuanzi."
At first, Shi Tou was a little scared. But after he ate roasted locusts, he realized how delicious they were. He thought that if he ever went hungry again, he could climb trees to pick wild fruits and catch locusts.
The little dumpling was eating a roasted locust when it solemnly warned, "Bamboo shoot worms and locusts are delicious when roasted. Don't eat other poisonous insects, or you'll get poisoned."
"Okay, Sister Tuanzi."
The stone kept it firmly in mind.
The Valley of the Netherworld.
The valley was teeming with poisonous insects.
Ye Nanxing walked ahead, using Gu worms to drive away the poisonous insects around her. It wasn't that she was afraid they would block her way, but rather that she was afraid the little dumpling would eat all of them.
As they approached the valley, an elderly woman with a full head of white hair stood at the narrow entrance. Upon seeing Qin Luo, she smiled and cupped her hands in greeting, saying, "Thank you for your trouble along the way, Daoist Master."
"Mother-in-law."
Ye Nanxing ran to the old woman's side.
Qin Luo smiled and said softly, "It's on my way. Did you know I was coming, senior?"
The old woman nodded and sighed softly. She looked at Ye Nanxing and said, "I am worried about Nanxing going out alone. There are Gu worms secretly observing her every move."
"Mother-in-law, how could you do this?"
Ye Nanxing was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
Qin Luo wasn't surprised. He had assumed the Gu worms around him belonged to Ye Nanxing, but it turned out they were the old woman's.
The old woman looked at Ye Nanxing's hair, which was originally full of white hair, but now it had returned to its original black and shiny state. Ye Nanxing herself had not even noticed. "Nanxing has caused trouble for the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest still helped her. Thank you, Taoist priest."
Qin Luo asked curiously, "Senior, was the Taoist priest who came to Youming Valley back then the Imperial Preceptor?"
The old woman frowned and said in a deep voice, "That Taoist priest was wearing a black robe and was performing authentic Taoist magic. He should be a direct descendant of the Taoist Ancestor, but we don't know his specific identity."
"Then what did he take?"
“What he stole was the Devouring Heaven Gu, a sacred object that our Ye family has guarded for generations.”
As she said this, the old woman's eyes blazed with anger, but the other side was too strong, and they had no way to resist.
"The Devouring Heaven Gu, what is that?"
The old woman did not hide anything from Qin Luo and told him the truth: "The Devouring Heaven Gu originated from the Gu God. The Gu God was born in the chaos. He failed in the war for the throne and his body was smashed. From his broken flesh, all kinds of Gu were born in the world. The strongest of them is the Devouring Heaven Gu, which was born from his skull. It is said that it is the most powerful Gu worm created by the Gu God with hatred for the heavens."
Qin Luo guessed that the one who took away the Devouring Heaven Gu was likely the Grand Preceptor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and that the Devouring Heaven Gu might even be inside Hua Ying's body. "Senior, does the Devouring Heaven Gu have a fragrance?"
The old woman shook her head. "We know very little about the Devouring Heaven Gu. A long time ago, an ancestor of the Ye family used the power of the Devouring Heaven Gu to become an emperor. Not long after, he suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, and the entire Ye family was almost wiped out. In order to preserve the last remaining flame of the Ye family, that ancestor used his last strength to seal the Devouring Heaven Gu. Since then, the Ye family has never used the Devouring Heaven Gu again."
