Taibu calculated that the Gu worms suitable for breeding in April were one of the Gu worms, and the other was the Bloody Jaw.
"Brother Han, have you ever heard of Bloodjaw?"
Han Chen nodded and said: "The blood-jawed centipede is an extremely rare type of worm. Among all types of worms, it is the best."
"Are Bloodjaw bloodthirsty?"
"Extremely bloodthirsty. To cultivate bloodjaw centipedes, a large amount of human blood must be needed. There was a saying in the Gu sect that the fifth-grade bloodjaw will destroy a village, and the third-grade bloodjaw will destroy a village. To cultivate bloodjaws, it is generally necessary to use blood sac flies to nourish blood.
Bag, otherwise the price will be too high."
Tong Qingqiu knew very little about voodoo, and had never heard the name of Blood Jaw before: "Can a voodoo really reach the third level?"
Han Chen said: "This is the preciousness of the Blood Jaw, but although this thing is the most powerful Gu from the outside world, it is still inferior to the Gu from the inside world."
Tong Qingqiu scratched his scalp: "When the master was alive, he also talked about the inner way and the outer way, but he didn't explain it very clearly. What is the difference between the inner way and the outer way?"
Han Chen said: "The difference lies in the spirituality of the voodoo. Wen spider is a superior inner Dao voodoo, but it has no spirituality. It can only parasitize on the master, feed on the master's blood and energy, and help the master improve his cultivation. The outer Dao voodoo has no spiritual power.
He is spiritual, and his mind is almost the same as that of a human being."
Tong Qingqiu was even more puzzled: "The spiritual ones are not as good as the non-spiritual ones?"
Han Chen smiled: "It depends on what the Gu is used for. Because the heretic Gu is spiritual, it leaves its cultivation to itself and only provides combat power to its master. If the master is too seriously injured or his life is in danger,
When the time comes, the voodoo will turn into a human form and escape, looking for another master without any loyalty at all. The person who raises the voodoo will only use it for his subordinates and will never use it on himself, so it is not as valuable as the internal voodoo.
insect."
When Tong Qingqiu heard this, she lowered her head to drink and stopped talking.
Why does Han Chen know so much about voodoo? His knowledge in voodoo even surpasses their master.
Xu Zhiqiong took a drink and murmured: "Blood Jaw, that's it..."
Han Chen was surprised: "Did Brother Xu meet Bloodjaw in the capital?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "It's possible."
Han Chen shook his head and said: "Brother Xu must have made a mistake. Bloodjaw has extraordinary combat power and is the only one among the heretic Gu insects that can cultivate to the third level. However, he is extremely disloyal and will abandon his master if he is not careful.
The rules of the Gu Sect are strict, and no more than three Bloodjaw Adults are allowed to be alive. Unless it involves a fierce battle of life and death, the Bloodjaw Adults are never allowed to leave the Gu Sect and fight."
Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "What if the eggs are brought to the capital?"
"This..." Han Chen pondered for a long time and said, "It's not impossible to bring insect eggs, but it is more difficult than obtaining adult insects, and a dead man is required to help."
"What do you say about a dead man?"
"A loyal person who knows he must die, but is loyal," Han Chen explained, "The eggs of the Blood Jaw are born during the yin and yin months of the moon. They cannot see the sunlight and must be kept in the secret room of the Gu Sect. If you want to send them elsewhere, you must
Find a dead man, parasitize the insect eggs on his body, and let this person deliver the insect eggs in his flesh and blood. When the insect eggs leave the body, this dead man will undoubtedly die."
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said, "This doesn't seem to be difficult. Rich people can spend a lot of money to send two servants, but they just have to hide it from them until the matter is done."
"I can't hide it!" Han Chen shook his head, "Bloodjaw is very smart. Before the shell is broken, he will give the owner a hint. The owner knows that he will die, so he will often run away with the eggs, while Bloodjaw waits for the opportunity to hatch, thus getting rid of the poison.
Door control.”
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Then tie up the servants, bring Gu seeds on them, and then tie them back up."
"No!" Han Chen still shook his head, "Hemognathus eggs are afraid of being frightened. Once the host is frightened, the eggs will leak toxins. The host will die instantly, and the eggs will also die."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "This is difficult. I know that I will die. Is there any reason not to be frightened?"
Han Chen sighed: "This is the precious thing about a dead man! Not only can he not be frightened, he cannot even feel the slightest sadness or anger. He must be calm and calm in order to deposit the eggs of the bloody jaw."
Death warrior!
Are there any dead soldiers around Liang Yuming?
Xu Zhiqiong rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the crook of his arm and said, "If there is a scar like a bug here, does it prove that there are eggs of Bloodjaw in the body?"
Han Chen blinked: "As you said, it's not a scar, it's an egg hole. If the egg hole is similar in size and shape to that of a centipede, it may be the egg hole of Bloodjaw. Of course, it may also be the gu species of other centipedes.
It’s just that this possibility is slim, dead soldiers are hard to find. When I was in southern Xinjiang, I once heard that someone led twenty dead soldiers to steal twenty Haemagnathus eggs from Gu Sect and tried to bring them to the Central Plains. As a result, this happened.
All twenty eggs were broken in the process, and no one was spared. In the final analysis, these so-called dead soldiers are not loyal enough."
Is the eighth-grade eunuch who fought against Xu Zhiqiong loyal enough?
Definitely loyal enough to help Liang Yuming abduct a civilian girl even though he knew he was about to die soon.
But since Liang Yuming used him to keep the eggs, why didn't he keep him under guard? And let him go out to take risks?
With a little inference, you can understand the reason.
Idleness breeds sorrow, and sorrow breeds sadness.
A dying person cannot be left idle, otherwise no matter how loyal his heart is, he will lament the sadness of his fate. Once feelings of sadness and anger arise, the insect eggs cannot be saved.
Liang Yuming understands the truth very well, and it seems that this is not the first time he has tried to cultivate Bloodjaw.
While Xu Zhiqiong was deep in thought, Tong Qingqiu put down his chopsticks and asked, "Senior brother, you are so proficient in the art of poison, could it be that you fell into an evil path in southern Xinjiang?"
"You're kidding..." Han Chen wanted to scold her, but he had an elegant temperament and couldn't utter curse words in front of outsiders. "Don't talk nonsense. When I was practicing medicine in southern Xinjiang, I encountered patients who were harmed by bewitching spells."
There are countless people, if they don’t know the art of voodoo, how can they cure people?”
Xu Zhiqiong was surprised: "Brother Han has been to southern Xinjiang?"
Han Chen smiled modestly, and Tong Qingqiu said beside him: "Brother Han is a famous miracle doctor in southern Xinjiang. He came to the capital recently to search for an ancient medical scripture. Unexpectedly, he couldn't leave after he came here."
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned: "Why can't you leave?"
Tong Qingqiu smiled bitterly: "He is a fourth-grade Yin-Yang cultivator. How could Taifu let him leave the capital?"
According to Taibu's concept, all yin and yang cultivators in the world should be under the unified management of the yin and yang department. The small fish and shrimps of the eighth and ninth grades can be let go for the time being, but the big fish of the fourth grade must not escape from his grasp.
Han Chen said: "I want to make it clear to Taibu today that he relies on the strong to bully the weak. I am not good at cultivation and cannot fight him, so there is nothing to say. It is not impossible to serve him in the Yin and Yang Division, but if
He wants to force me to change my school, but he is just wishful thinking. Han is not that spineless person!"
Tong Qingqiu threw his chopsticks: "Who are you scolding?"
Han Chen sneered: "Junior Brother Tong, I can trust you as a person. I know that you have unspeakable secrets, but our ways are different and we don't want to conspire against each other. You don't need to persuade me anymore about this matter."
"Who advised you? Go talk to the fortune teller and see if he tolerates you!"
After two disagreements, Xu Zhiqiong quickly raised his glass to lighten the atmosphere a little, then immediately paid and left.
How you brothers fight is your business. I have to tell Wu Xu the news quickly.
…
"Qianhu, when you saw the scar drawn by Chen Jiuer, you concluded that it was related to Liang Yuming, but why?"
Wu Xu was reading "The Collection of Chunxiang" and said without raising his head: "Do you think you are the only one who has encountered Ren Yazi? I have been secretly investigating for many years and have seen this kind of scars on Ren Yazi more than once. These Ren Yazi
They are all eunuchs under Liang Yuming."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Do thousands of households know what this is?"
"It should be something like a Gu worm. It looks like a worm."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "If the shape of the scar is similar to that of a centipede, it proves that this person carries the eggs of the blood-jawed centipede. Taibu mentioned the blood-jawed centipede. This thing can be promoted to the third grade at most!"
"Bloodjaw centipede! This is also a poisonous insect that can break out of its shell in April! This bastard Liang Yuming really has a backup plan!" Wu Xu gritted his teeth and was about to stand up, but sat back down.
After watching "Chunxiang Ji" for a long time, it was difficult to stand up.
Wu Xu sat behind the desk, recalling all the past, and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "I have seen five people with scars similar to centipedes on their arms, four of them were killed by me, and one is still with Liang Yuming. Even if this person
It's the same person you saw, which also proves that Liang Yuming has at least one blood-jawed centipede on his hand."
Wu Xu brought a map of the capital and worked with Xu Zhiqiong to deduce Liang Yuming's intentions.
"What happened last time was exposed. Liang Yuming is in a very dangerous situation. Now he is eager to usurp power. This is reasonable.
But what does he rely on to seize the throne? Just relying on a blood jaw is definitely not enough. The Gu insect breaks out in April and it is impossible to cultivate to the third level in a short time. Even if it reaches the third level, it is not enough in front of the three Canglong elders.
If you want to succeed, you must have the help of the Gu clan. You must find at least four third-level Gu clans, three to deal with the elders, and one to deal with the eunuch Chen Shuncai. How many third-level Gu clans are there in total?
As far as I know, there is only one third-level cultivator. You said that this blood-jawed centipede is the only heretic Gu insect that can cultivate to third-level. There are no more than three adult worms, and together with the third-level cultivator, there are only four.
Even if four are gathered together, the chance of winning is extremely slim.
There are still many fourth-grade masters in Canglong Hall and the Imperial Palace. Even if the third-grade masters are evenly matched, Liang Yuming would still have to have at least a dozen fourth-grade masters on hand to cope with it.
In addition, there are forbidden troops in the palace, and the Imperial City Department outside the palace. The Yin and Yang Department and the Penance Workshop will not sit idly by. If they want to succeed, not only must they have high-quality cultivators, but they must also have
Soldier."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "With the Ministry of War under his control, it is not difficult to mobilize some troops."
Wu Xu nodded: "There may indeed be soldiers and horses near the capital, but these soldiers and horses must not have weapons in their hands, otherwise their whereabouts would have been exposed long ago. The weapons and weapons in Yongzhou have been delayed, and I am afraid they were all given outside the capital.
Our troops and horses, the most urgent task is to recover these ordnance!"
Xu Zhiqiong stared at Wu Xu for a long time: "The emperor is about to be replaced. Qianhu only cares about ordnance?"
"Otherwise?" Wu Xu also looked at Xu Zhiqiong, "What can happen to whoever becomes the emperor? But we cannot let Tunu trample on innocent people!"
Wu Xu only wanted weapons, so this matter would be easier to handle.
He said to Xu Zhiqiong: "Tomorrow I will check the armory with Sui Zhi, and then use the spies near the city gate to check the direction of a large number of chariots and horses. It is not difficult to find this army, and it is also easy to recover this batch of ordnance."
It's not difficult. Let Sui Zhi and Zhong Shen handle the rest. If they don't dare to take care of it, I won't bother."
Xu Zhiqiong reminded: "Qianhu, if Liang Yuming really becomes the emperor, your life will be difficult."
Wu Xu smiled and said: "So what if I am sad? After all, it is just a trivial matter in the world."
