C15 Hope dies and rises again
Even though Lu Zuo and I are related by blood, we weren't born of the same grandfather, so we aren't really close.
The last time we met, it seemed like my father and I had been drinking at his house during the new year, and we had not been in touch since.
Because of this, my mother previously said that she would look for his help to arrange a job. I disapproved of it and insisted on leaving.
I'm just a bit stubborn, and I don't like to be in the limelight, and I don't want to hear people call me snobbish.
Now, however, I realized that I was really wrong.
Judging from the circumstances of the past few days, my cousin isn't as simple as' getting rich 'as I thought, but he has truly become a big shot. The friends I make include the officials of the Provincial Bureau, the Green Robe Taoist who can draw talismans on his hands like he's looking for a laser, and even the Tail girl and his adopted sister are so powerful that I couldn't help but glance at him.
If I had been able to find him before, I might not have turned into what I am now.
Perhaps the Attraction Gu from before had been casually dispelled.
However, there is no medicine for regret in this world. What has happened has already happened, and I have already become a hollow, living corpse. I can only wait for Lu Zuo's next judgement.
But, I can tell that now is not the time to seek help from others. Lu Zuo was arguing intensely with the Tail girl that Daoist Xiao Keming had called "Little Demon", and the two of them were glaring at each other while blowing their sideburns. I was listening from afar, but I could still guess that they were arguing over the missing egg.
I don't understand why their friend called "adult tiger-hide cat" would be in the same egg.
That egg was much bigger than an ordinary egg, but it was still an egg after all?
Why did it have to do with their friends?
Could it be that the adult tiger-hide cat is not human?
I was filled with questions, but I didn't know who to answer them for me. After a while, the Tail girl Goblin suddenly grabbed onto something in anger, and smashed it onto the ground, roaring at his cousin Lu Zuo: "Good, good, good, this is all my fault, alright? I admit, I lost Chou Pimao. Alright, I'll go and find him! "
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left the courtyard. Lu Zuo wanted to go over to stop her, but he only extended his hand halfway and did not call out in the end.
He allowed the Tail girl to leave in anger. In the end, he did not urge him to stay and instead angrily walked into the bamboo house.
He was probably heading to the room next to mine. When he passed by the door, he was surprised to see me. Say, Lu Yan, why are you here?
I opened my mouth, wanting to explain, but Lu Zuo didn't have the time to care about me, she waved her hand at me, saying, wait a moment, I have some important matters to take care of, I will look for you to chat.
After he finished speaking, he walked over.
I knew he was angry and didn't have time to pay any attention to people like me, but I went out the door anyway, curious.
Just as I walked a few steps, I heard Lu Zuo's grumbling voice from the bamboo hall next door: "Look, his temper is getting worse, and he's not cute at all. Do you think my criticism is wrong? I had clearly promised that I would take care of this place, but in the end, without even discussing it with me, I had already left on my own. Finally, the adult tiger-hide cat's phoenix eggs were all gone … "
He complained for a while, while Xiao Keming advised him that he should calm down. Do you know where the Little Devil went?
Lu Zuo was still fuming, what was there to say? Wherever you're going, you should talk to me, right?
Xiao Ke Ming sighed, and said microtoxicant, the more you live, the more you go back, you really don't understand women's hearts at all — — Yesterday was TangTang's day of sacrifice, Little Demon had gone to pay his respects to her … …
Hearing this, Lu Zuo let out an "Ah" sound. After being surprised for a long while, he then said: "Even if that's the case, I still have to tell someone."
Although he said that, his momentum had been reduced.
This matter, up till now, don't you see that it's just a trap? It's already not just a day or two since people are thinking about our Phoenix egg, no matter if the Little Demon Empress is there or not, she would still make a move on us. This is just a matter of time.
Lu Zuo sighed, tell me, who was behind this? Tell me, who did we offend?
"Oh my god! I remember that you only injured your meridians and not your brain. How come it seems you lost your memory?" The two of us have been travelling for seven years, and we have made many enemies. You can't even count them with your hands, how can you ask something so childish?
Lu Zuo said no, I said those who have the ability to scheme against us, how many people in this world are there?
Xiao Keming had said that there were many hidden talents in this world. Did you think that after the battle at Skymount City, it would be considered over? Have you forgotten how Wanru, who was placed in the guest house of Qianyang Bureau, died? Xu Ming had once again entered the Main Evil Spirit, the power of the foreign forces surged, and there were also many changes in the General Department … Brother, how do you know about the chaos outside when you're recuperating here?
Lu Zuo said. Do you think that my second uncle is the murderer?
However, the more it is like this, the more it doesn't look like it — We've been in contact with your Second Uncle for more than half a year, if he's harboring malicious intentions, how could we not see through it?
Lu Zuo said heavily: "If there really is such a thing as harboring evil intentions, then this matter will be troublesome."
He seemed to want to express something, but his tone suddenly changed and became stern, "Who's outside. Come in by yourself. Don't let me force you!"
I was startled, knowing that he had heard me outside, so I couldn't help but feel awkward. I slowly walked to the door, and saw my older cousin Lu Zuo and the Green Robed Daoist Priest Xiao Keming sitting together on a bamboo hall chair. Their breathing was erratic, and I didn't know what to say to explain my eavesdropping earlier.
Fortunately, Xiao Keming laughed heartily, beckoned me to come in and then said, "Don't tell me you don't even know your cousin?"
When I walked up to the two of them, Xiao Keming stood up and pointed at me, saying that your little brother had something to talk to you about, but he didn't dare disturb me when he saw how angry you were, but he was really anxious, so I thought it would be better if we had a chat.
Although Lu Zuo was worried about the matter of the Phoenix egg being lost, when he saw me come in, he did not look good, so he asked me what happened.
I rubbed my nose and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Zuo, I heard them say that you are a Miao Jiang Gu Wang, so I have something that I need your help with."
Lu Zuo said that if you have anything to say, just say it, we are family, there is no need to be so polite.
I said I was drugged.
Lu Zuo was startled. He said that it can't be, there are still people here who dare to casually infect others with the parasite, could it be that I heard wrong?
I smiled bitterly, saying that I wasn't here, I was sent down from Guangnan. If not for Little demoness coincidentally passing by, I might have already died.
Lu Zuo opened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Why is it related to the Little Demon Empress again, what are you talking about?"
I opened my mouth, but didn't know how to explain it. Fortunately, Xiao Keming, who was at the side, came out to smooth things over, smiling as he recounted what had happened to Lu Zuo.
However, the main point of this brother's explanation isn't on the Gu poison, but rather on that big bus meeting. Furthermore, he added extra details to it, making me feel ashamed and embarrassed to the point that I wanted to find a hole to hide in.
After Lu Zuo finished listening to his narration, he said to Lu Yan with a smile that was not a smile. I feel that you weren't like this before.
I was rendered speechless by Xiao Keming's misinterpretation, but I didn't intend to explain. I could only bitterly smile and say, "Ai, bad luck for a person. Even drinking cold water would cause one's teeth to clench."
Just like the others, Lu Zuo also extended his hand to touch my veins, but he was clearly much more proficient in it than the others. After lightly patting it for a moment, he released it and then fished out three silver needles from his bosom, piercing into the middle of my eyebrows, the middle of my chest and the left side of my waist.
He stabbed me so fast that I didn't even have time to react before the silver needle pierced my skin.
I didn't feel any pain. I just felt a sudden churning in my stomach, like something was being churned. I could hear it rumbling, and after a while the three silver needles were shaking, and the end of them was shaking.
Only the one on my forehead didn't look that fast.
When Lu Zuo finished reading, he extended his hand and the three silver needles disappeared. However, he sighed, and said Lu Yan, the matter was a little complicated.
When I heard his tone, my heart immediately sank. He said that it's fine. Just say it, I can accept anything.
Lu Zuo nodded his head, saying that the thing in your stomach is called the Blood Gathering Gu, and I have actually seen it before. It is said that it is an extremely evil type of Gu technique, different from other Gu poisons, it uses a person's life as its purification, and in order to refine this Gu, it needs to gather eighteen people with the bloodline of the seedling Gu, which means that you want to summon out a Gu spirit from a thousand years ago, to use it to inherit the poison of the dead generation.
The moment the expert made a move, he immediately knew if there was something wrong. I didn't even mention anything about the Blood Gathering Gu before, but he said it was pretty close.
I asked excitedly, "Can I be saved?"
Lu Zuo laughed bitterly, and said that he heard that the Blood Gathering Gu was an extremely powerful Spirit Gu. Although it could not compare to the life silkworm parasite, who was an extraordinary existence, in the list of the Gu Poison, they were definitely first class existences other than the Gu embryo.
He paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "If the fat bugs were still here, this wouldn't be hard. But at this moment, I have no other choice."
What, even this cousin of mine known as Miao Jiang Gu Wang was unable to do anything?
My heart sank, but at this moment, he said, "But there is someone in this world who can save you."
