C21 The great beauty of the insect pond
I thought this old lady was Sherry's master, but after hearing the introductions, I realized she was her master's sister.
Chi Lihua.
It's a very strange name. From last name to last name, it's all very strange. Old Grandma Chi doesn't seem to like us very much.
She should be asking about Xu Ming coming here, but I don't know why, but I felt a cold chill when she looked at me.
Could it be that because Xue Rui and Lu Zuo were helpless against her, she had transferred that hatred onto me?
If that's the case, then wouldn't I have no hope?
The tea on the table was very special. Within the clear water, there were a few worms that looked like dried mulberry silkworms floating about. As it soaked in the water for longer and longer, the color of the tea water slowly turned green, giving off a strong fragrance.
Lao Liao was very afraid of these things, he could only express his gratitude in front of everyone, but I felt that this was a bit of a waste. I thought that since I was not going to die anyways, I might as well have a taste of the food.
However, when I took a sip of tea, I felt a fragrance coming from my lips and teeth. A surge of spiritual qi rushed to my nostrils, causing me to wake up completely.
I didn't drink any good tea. This was the only thing that surprised me. After drinking it in twos and threes, I couldn't help but chew the worm dry. It turned out to be something similar to a plant root.
Could it be Cordyceps sinensis?
That's not right, I've seen the Cordyceps sinensis on TV before, it doesn't look like this?
Just as I was wondering, Sherry walked in from outside and said, "My master wants to see you. Follow me."
I immediately stood up and Er Chun also patted her butt, preparing to get up. However, Xue Rui smiled at her and said, "You don't need to go, I heard that you cook very well, go to the kitchen and help Grandma Hua cook a sumptuous dinner, just wait for us."
Er Chun seemed to be a little afraid of meeting Master Xue Rui. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but let out a breath of relief, clapped his hands, and laughed out loud: "This is for the best, I'm good at this."
Lao Liao also stood up and said his goodbyes, saying that it was getting late, since you guys were already here, my mission was accomplished, I will take advantage of the weather and rush back, I am a little worried about leaving the car in the village, if you guys are not careful, don't remove all the tires for me.
He insisted on leaving, and we didn't stay. After sending him off, Sherry took me to the backyard.
He left the backyard and arrived at the ancestral hall of Miao Village.
In the side room of the ancestral hall, I was ordered by Sherry to kneel in the middle of the three prayer mats. After a while, I felt my body falling along with the prayer mats, but a few seconds later, I arrived at an underground cave.
This should be below the ancestral hall.
A hand came from the side and helped me up. It was Sherry. She whispered in my ear, "Follow me. But no matter what you see later, don't shout and don't move. Do you understand?"
I nodded.
Just as I agreed, I followed Sherry into the cavern and saw a candle flame light up on the wall. The moment the light appeared, my entire body froze on the ground, not daring to move. I breathed in a breath of cold air and the numbness spread from my feet all the way to my head.
The reason for this is because I saw numerous insects on the walls. There were centipedes, lizards, spiders, scorpions, horses …
The bugs piled up one layer after another. Some of them had a reflection on their carapace, making them look even more oily. Looking at this scene, I couldn't stop shivering.
Sherry took a few steps, looked back at me, and smiled. Go on, I'm telling you not to move, not to stay here.
I held out my hand and pointed at the big pile of bugs on the walls and ceiling. Snow, Sherry, what's all this about?
Xue Rui was curious, didn't they say that you were learning how to raise Gu from Brother Lu Zuo?
I bitterly said, "How can I not be afraid? I just took him as my master, and he left after a few hours. I haven't learned anything, so how can I not be afraid?"
Brother Lu Zuo is not such a irresponsible person. What, didn't he not bring you here personally because he's afraid that the Little demoness will be jealous?
I shook my head and said no, I heard that the phoenix egg in the chicken farm was stolen.
What?
Xue Rui's face revealed a shocked expression, she grabbed onto my arm, saying what's going on, how could the adult tiger-hide cat be stolen?
She looked warm at first, but when she tensed up and grabbed my shoulder, I was paralyzed, unable to move at all, and Sherry, seeing the pain on my face, relaxed a little and said, Tell me, what's going on?
I'll cut to the chase and say a few words to her about something important. Sherry looked very serious. Take me and say that Master is waiting for you.
She pulled me through the long wormlike corridor, through three doors, and into a room that was mostly flooded with pools.
The room was hazy and the water vapour was rising, but what surprised me was that the water in the pond was actually a rich green color. Bubbles were bubbling out from the water and as the liquid churned, many segments of snakes and corpses of poisonous bugs appeared.
This was actually a pool filled with bugs?
I couldn't help but want to vomit, but Sherry glared at me, then called out respectfully, "Master, I've brought him."
What, Xue Rui's master actually lives in a wormpool filled with insect corpses?
I felt goosebumps all over my body. I was wondering if there was a hunchbacked old lady climbing out of the water bare-chested with the words' water bubbling '. I didn't even dare to raise my head.
After a while, a gentle voice could be heard, "Child, is there something on the ground that you're unwilling to lift up your head?"
Aiya, that's not right. Why is it not the old woman's words but the voice of a young woman?
Old Grandma Chi's sister shouldn't have such a voice!
I raised my head and saw a beautiful young lady who looked like a big star looking at me from within the wormpool. I panicked and stammered, "I-I-I …" My name is Lu Yan, I pay my respects to Old Senior Chi … "
After stammering, I don't know if I'm going to kneel down in accordance with the etiquette shown on the TV. After hesitating for a while, I bow.
That's right, she was so young, she seemed to be even younger than Sherry. How could she be her master, Grandma Chi's elder sister? Could it be that she was a fairy?
Then, is it a bit inappropriate for me to call her "Senior Chi Guda"? Will she be angry?
My heart was in turmoil, but the peerless beauty in wormpool looked at Xue Rui, saying, "This is the child with the Blood Gathering Gu that you mentioned, Lu Zuo's disciple?"
Xue Rui said yes, he had just entered the sect, so he didn't know any rules.
The beautiful woman shook her head, saying that Luo Shiba's disciples were really generation after generation.
Thinking about what she had said, I couldn't help but be confused. Isn't Luo Shiba the one who wrote the notes in my Twelve Techniques of Repressing Mountains? Could it be that this peerless beauty knows him?
And what is Luo Shiba's relationship with me? Am I his disciple's disciple?
She stood up, and her body was covered with all sorts of insect corpses. She didn't mind, and asked me condescendingly: "I heard from Sherry that you have a Blood Gathering Gu that you haven't seen in hundreds of years, right? Take it out and take a look?"
I had a bitter look on my face as I said, "Senior, I really can't let you see this."
The woman frowned. What did he mean?
I pointed to my stomach and said that the worm was in my chest, attached to my heart, and I was the furnace that gave birth to it. My internal organs were all eaten up by it, and once it left my body, I would die.
The beautiful woman nodded. Oh, so you are not the owner of the Blood Gathering Gu.
I nodded and said yes, so I came over and asked for senior's help.
The beautiful lady was a little pussy to me, saying that if your master isn't Miao Jiang Gu Wang Lu Zuo, there is nothing in this world that he cannot do, so why are you begging me?
Hearing this, my heart felt bitter, I knew that this God called Chi-Li Nai must be unhappy with my cousin Lu Zuo, if not she would not say such words, in my heart, I hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master said that there is only one person in the world who can resolve this, and that is you, senior, so she sent someone to bring me here to you."
A smile appeared on the beautiful woman's face. She said that he hadn't lost his mind because of fame and wealth after all, but he did know how to be modest.
I nodded my head and said that my Master has a twelve percent respect for you.
It has to be known that whether it's Lu Zuo or Er Chun, they have never told me much about this person before.
The beautiful woman was very satisfied, and asked me to tell her the entire process of refining the Blood Gathering Gu.
I didn't know how I did it, but I told her about what happened to me. After listening to her story, the beautiful woman fell into a period of silence. After a while, she pointed at me and said, "You, come in."
When I heard him, I looked at wormpool, who seemed to be extremely dirty, and hesitated for a moment.
