Chapter 25: Thunder is moving and insects are singing
"You! You—a monster?"
Liao Chong was shocked, but he couldn't scream out. He moved his mouth a few times and froze in place, staring straight at the Grasshopper.
"Ignorant country bumpkin, how can a monster be compared with me?" Grasshopper snorted coldly and shook its two colorful tentacles a few times.
Only then did Liao Chong realize that this Grasshopper was different. Its tentacles were covered with dense fine hairs, its abdomen was as round as a ball, and it was covered with colorful eye-like patterns. It looked a bit like what the academy professor had said—— p>
"Gu worm?" His lips squirmed and he couldn't help but take a step back. His back felt cold and his hair stood on end.
Poison is a poisonous insect that has been carefully cultivated and can connect with people's minds. In Da Yan and the south of Da Chu, voodoo is quite popular. It is a mysterious and terrifying poisonous technique. Although Liao Chong doesn't know much about it, he knows it.
You know, Gu insects usually don’t speak.
So this is a spirited Gu insect?
"I am not a poisonous insect. This is just a small magic that can be used to store ghosts and poisons. Even if you tell me, you don't understand." Grasshopper scurried up to Liao Chong, "What are you afraid of? This body of mine is extremely weak.
With just one slap, you can kill me."
Liao Chong's expression was stiff, and he subconsciously protected his chest with his hands, assuming the posture of the Nine Transformations of Divine Control. He took another step back, and his back hit the trunk of the tree with a bang. Why did this spirited Gu insect come to find him?
Do you want to seize your body and change it to a stronger body?
"Boy, don't you want to hear what they are talking about inside? I have a way to help you." Grasshopper curled his lips and turned to the school with his transparent and flashing eyes.
Liao Chong was silent for a while, shook his head, and put on a defensive air, for fear that the other party would harm him.
The Grasshopper stared at him and shook his head: "Mud can't hold up the wall!" He kicked off the grass with his thin limbs and ran out. He disappeared into the shade of the tree in a few moments and was never seen again.
Liao Chong was stunned for a while and looked around. The mysterious bug spirit ran away. He breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little lost. In rural legends, there are also spirits such as the old man with the finger and the little fairy with the broken sword.
The story of helping a young farm boy to become an immortal. Maybe he missed his destiny?
Footsteps suddenly sounded.
A patrolling egret boy passed by the school and looked towards the trees here.
Liao Chong quickly lay down, curled up his limbs, and hid behind a thick tree trunk, trying his best to contain his breath.
The egret boy seemed to have discovered something. He stopped and shouted into the forest: "Who is hiding there and sneaking around? Come out!"
Liao Chong's face turned pale, and his heart suddenly sank. The punishment for eavesdropping on the magic class was extremely severe. In addition to being whipped in public and imprisoned in a dungeon, a whole year's study and training resources would also be deducted. In serious cases, he could even be punished.
His power was revoked and he was expelled from the academy.
He did not dare to say a word, his body pressed closer to the ground, his whole head was buried in the grass, his mouth was smacked in the mud, and he begged God in his heart to give him a chance.
The grass swayed, the branches and leaves rustled, and the sound of the branches and leaves kept coming. The footsteps of the egret boy came from far and near.
The mud stuck to Liao Chong's lips and teeth, feeling salty and astringent. "Mud can't hold up a wall!" He suddenly remembered Gu Chongjing's words and was so desperate that he couldn't breathe.
The egret boy stopped, looked around, and said curiously: "It's strange, I saw someone clearly, but why is it missing?"
Liao Chong was lying at his feet, covered with a layer of light green light, shaped like a huge curled leaf, covering Liao Chong's whole body.
Although Egret Boy was close at hand, he still couldn't see Liao Chong and couldn't even sense his breath. He looked around in confusion and left angrily.
Liao Chong opened his eyes again and was startled to see that the Grasshopper was lying in front of his nose, staring at him with big eyes and small eyes.
"It turns out it was you - it was the senior who helped me, so that's why the Egret boy didn't see me?" Liao Chong suddenly realized.
"Haha, I called you Gu earlier, and now I call you senior." Grasshopper exhaled heavily, and the leaf-shaped green light on Liao Chong's body gradually dissipated. Grasshopper seemed to have exhausted its vitality, and its abdomen shrank.
The colorful Gu patterns also became dim.
There was a hint of guilt in Liao Chong's eyes: "Senior, you got hurt because you were trying to help me?"
The Grasshopper snorted: "This insect body is too weak. It can't bear it even if you use some blinding techniques. Otherwise, how can it hurt me?"
Liao Chong hesitated for a moment and asked: "May I ask the senior's name, who is it - the fairy?" "Me? I am -" Grasshopper's bright eyes flashed.
He is the head of the fierce and fierce Dayan Embroidery Department, a generation of Gu ancestors who shocked the past and the present, and the great master of Hedao, Gu Zhenren - a ray of distraction.
Because his disciples were killed at the hands of Yuan An, Master Gu created a ray of spiritual thought and went to Jiankang, Jin Dynasty, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Yuan An.
However, when he sneaked into Bailu Academy, he was created by various protective formations and restrictions, and a ray of spiritual thought was completely destroyed. A trace of the residual thought in it accidentally merged with a wisp of evil spirit deep in the earth, causing a change, and he survived by luck.
, and finally possessed a grasshopper.
Although he could still perform some strange and clever poisons, he had no lethality. He wandered around the Bailu Academy for a few days, barely surviving, and was almost eaten by toads and sparrows many times.
"Thank you for your help, senior. Otherwise, I would have been miserable." Liao Chong bowed deeply to Grasshopper.
"Call me - Master Grasshopper." Grasshopper waved his tentacles, and there was something strange in his heart. Inexplicably fused with the evil spirit, he could no longer be regarded as the distraction of Master Gu, and had his own will. p>
This was unexpected by Master Gu who was far away in Dayan.
Liao Chong hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Grasshopper——"
Master Grasshopper asked again: "Boy, do you still want to listen to the lessons there?"
Liao Chong looked at Mr. Grasshopper and then at Fulu Academy, hesitating for a moment.
Mr. Grasshopper sneered: "Boy, what do you think cultivation is?"
It raised its tentacles and pointed at the school: "When they are born, they can sit comfortably in it, listen to lectures and practice. This is given by God, called destiny. What about you? Can you do it? Do you have destiny?"
Liao Chong lowered his head, a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.
"So, what does spiritual practice mean to you?"
"It's hard work!"
"It's not destiny, it's your own destiny!"
"Besides risking your life, what else do you have? What are you waiting for? What else do you hope for?"
There was a "bang" in Liao Chong's head, and Master Grasshopper's words exploded in his heart, setting off a storm.
"In this world of predators of the jungle, the weakest creatures are nothing more than insects. However, the creatures with the largest number of survivors are also insects. When the thunder shakes, when thousands of insects wake up from their slumber and gather into the sea, even if they enjoy
The true dragon of destiny is just the prey of you and me!"
"What you lack is just a spring thunder that wakes up insects. So why not? I give it to you!"
"Come, follow Mr. Grasshopper, merge into the Sea of Insects, and experience the world again!"
"The way of insects lies in the subtle, in the vast, in the hidden, in the change. The body is combined with the heart, the heart is combined with the Qi, the Qi is combined with the spirit, and the spirit is combined with the non-existent. There is something in between, but the sound of it, although
Far away from the wilderness, but within reach..."
Unknowingly, a strange change occurred in the breath in Liao Chong's body. In a trance, he seemed to have turned into an insect, sleeping deep in the dark and boundless earth. With a high-pitched spring thunder, he woke up and instinctively
The ground drilled into the soil.
Countless of his kind also woke up at the same time, crawling upwards, like seeds rushing out of the cold earth. They jumped on the grass, jumped up on the flowers and trees, climbed up the mountains, and ate in the vast cascading green.
The wind drinks the dew and sings loudly.
Countless clear and exciting insect sounds merged into a sea of insects, with magnificent waves and ups and downs.
Liao Chong melted into the sea of insects. He heard the sound of Mr. Grasshopper's eyes turning, heard the changing sound of the wind blowing, heard the different rustling sounds of each leaf in the wind, and heard a sound in the distance.
The paws of an oriole tap lightly on the treetops, and the sound of flapping wings flying into the air...
A young man's voice suddenly came over: "Professor Yi, I think this Taoist Talisman is questionable."
