"Chicai just told Qianhu a few jokes, Qianhu doesn't mind," Taibu clasped his hands behind his back and looked up to the sky and sighed, "Thousands of people's lives are hanging by a thread, how can I turn a deaf ear!"
Taibu took the quarter moon and used illusions to draw a page of "Almanac" in mid-air. Next to the "Almanac" were the names of hundreds of kinds of poisonous insects. Taibu began to calculate the time for raising poisonous insects.
"The person who raised the poison kidnapped more than a hundred women. Since these more than one hundred lives were used to raise the poison, there is no need to count the ordinary poison insects."
After saying that, Taibu waved his hand, and most of the names of the Gu insects were missing. The remaining Gu insects were all of high quality.
"As you said, it is best to raise voodoos in April. Golden silkworms, spiders, cold cockroaches (sounds the same as Xian), black toads, heavenly centipedes, xunshou... none of these voodoos can be raised in April."
The name of the Gu insect is missing again.
Seeing that Taifu was not distracted, Wu Xu quietly asked Xu Zhiqiong: "Who is Jinghan?"
Xu Zhiqiong answered honestly: "Beauty."
Wu Xu asked again: "Where is the beauty?"
Taibu said angrily: "I am concentrating on my calculations, but you are so noisy and deliberately distract me!"
The two stopped chatting, and after more than two hours of divination, he stroked his white beard and said, "This is the second category."
In the illusion, there were only two names left, one was called Huarong and the other was called Bloodjaw.
"The worms belong to moths and are poisonous to the yin. When the eggs hatch, you must take the fat of two hundred women to hatch the worms. After three days, the worms are placed in the host's body. They can be transformed in two days.
After the pupa breaks out of the cocoon, it can take shape.
At that time, the host will have hidden wings on its back and can fly. There will be powder on the wings. The powder is highly poisonous and will kill ordinary people if it touches it. The host will suck the flesh and blood of the deceased and use the poison to improve his cultivation level.
Xiao Rong is an inner-path Gu insect. If it is extremely compatible with its host, it can elevate the host to the fourth level within half a year."
Xu Zhiqiong roughly summarized the characteristics of Xiaorong.
First, women are needed to raise the gu.
Second, it can greatly improve combat effectiveness.
Third, it can quickly improve the host's cultivation level.
Judging from these three characteristics, Xiao Rong is most likely the Gu insect chosen by Liang Yuming.
The fortune teller calculated the time to raise the gu: "The time to raise the worm must be precise. It should start on April 19th and finish on the 21st of April. During these three days, the yin energy of the capital is the strongest, so this insect will not be cultivated."
Hatchable."
Wu Xu asked: "Where is the place to raise Gu?"
Taibu pondered for a long time: "The fact that he specializes in robbing people in the capital should be related to the aura of the emperor. The people in the capital are imbued with the aura of the emperor, and their fat is refined into velvet, which is more in line with the blood of the royal family."
It is a real hammer, it is Xiaorong, all the characteristics of Xiaorong are consistent with Liang Yuming's needs.
"As for the location for refining Gu, it must be chosen in a place with a strong aura of the royal capital," Taibu pondered for a long time. "The place with the strongest aura of the emperor is naturally the palace, but no one dares to refine Gu in the palace, so the location must be
around the palace,
There are many official offices around the palace, so you must be careful when refining Gu. You must choose a place that is inaccessible and cannot be more than five miles away from the palace, which is the safest."
The area near the palace is the most prosperous place in the capital. Is there anywhere within five miles that is off the beaten path?
have.
There are three places.
The first place is to the west of the Imperial Palace, Liangfen Garden.
Liangfen Garden was originally a high-quality garden. Since the previous dynasty, it has become the place where officials were executed. Probably because this garden has a good environment and can give the executed officials the last bit of dignity.
Because this is a place of execution, all the officials who enter have their heads removed, and it is also known as the "Two-point Garden". Naturally, no one would want to go to this kind of place.
Taibu ruled out this option first. Liangfen Garden was too murderous. The poisonous insects cultivated here were infected by the murderous aura and had a bad temper. They were likely to bite back their masters.
The second place, east of the Royal Palace - Longjiao Ghost Market.
The Longjiao Market was originally a serious market. It was named Longjiao because it was close to the palace and next to the emperor's feet.
Daxuan attaches great importance to commerce. The market is open day and night. After the morning market there is the lunch market, after the lunch market there is the night market, and after the night market there is the ghost market.
The ghost market is between the night market and the morning market. All business is done at midnight. The biggest feature of the ghost market is that there is a mixture of people and people selling everything. There are rare treasures, panaceas, and silks.
, there are ancient secret books.
There are real things, but there are also a lot of fake things. When you encounter something you like in the ghost market, don't ask about its origin, just bargain with the seller. After the money and goods are settled, both parties go their separate ways, and no one admits to it.
There are ghost markets everywhere in the capital, but Longjiao Ghost Market is the busiest. You can buy good things at very low prices here.
The reason is very simple. These good things come from the palace and are stolen. It is difficult to sell them elsewhere. The Longjiao Ghost Market is the most suitable place.
The Longjiao Ghost Market has been prospering for more than ten years. These people have been stealing under the emperor's nose for more than ten years, but Emperor Zhaoxing didn't notice it.
After the discovery, Long Yan was furious, and Emperor Zhaoxing ordered the Longjiao Market to be closed, and the street became a deserted street.
Is this street suitable for raising Gu?
Suitable.
There are dozens of uninhabited houses on the street, so it is not difficult to find a place to raise Gu.
This is considered an option.
The third place is north of the palace, Anshuyuan.
Concubine An Shu was the favorite concubine of Emperor Zhaoxing. She suddenly went crazy ten years ago and could no longer live in the palace. The emperor placed her in An Shuyuan outside the palace.
Two years later, Concubine An Shu died of illness, and An Shuyuan was sealed. It was such a large mansion and there was no one around. Is this place suitable for raising Gu?
very suitable!
This courtyard has a very strong Yin Qi, is very close to the palace, and has a strong imperial Qi. It is the best choice for cultivating crocodiles.
"If you really want to raise sheep, Anshuyuan is the best choice, followed by Longjiao Ghost Market."
This is the inference Taibu can make at present.
Judging from the current situation, it is basically certain that Liang Yuming is raising big moths like Xiaorong.
But out of a rigorous attitude, Taibu briefly introduced another kind of Gu insect, the Blood Jaw.
"Bloodjaw belongs to the class of centipedes, and it is also the most Yin type of Gu insect. Its combat power can reach up to level three, but it is an outsider's Gu insect."
What is a heretic Gu? It means that the Gu itself does not improve the host's cultivation level, but only improves the host's combat effectiveness. It is generally used to train warriors.
This is inconsistent with Liang Yuming's needs.
Liang Yuming chose to practice Gu, definitely to improve his cultivation. He did not want to be a warrior, and the Blood-nourishing Jaw was of no use to him.
Moreover, Blood Jaw has a characteristic. When it senses strong danger, it will abandon its owner. This thing is completely unreliable. How could Liang Yuming raise such a Gu insect?
Moreover, Bloodjaw has another characteristic that does not need to be developed at once.
With the blood of ten women, a ninth-grade blood jaw can be cultivated; with the blood of thirty people, it can become an eighth-grade blood; with eighty people, it can become a seventh-grade blood; with one hundred people, it can become a sixth-grade blood; and with two hundred people, it can become a fifth-grade blood jaw.
If you want to continue to improve, you need to slowly practice Gu skills in the future.
So here comes the question, even if Liang Yuming wanted to cultivate an excellent warrior, he could just use ten women to cultivate a ninth-grade blood jaw, and then use Gu to practice it. Why did he abduct more than a hundred women?
For a higher starting point?
It's not worth it. It's not worth taking such a big risk for Liang Yuming.
Taibu calculated for a long time: "If it is to refine the Blood Jaw, the best time is April 23rd. As for this location..."
"Don't forget it, it's definitely not Bloody Jaw," Wu Xu stood up and held up his hands, "Thank you Taibu for your help."
Taibu shook his head: "Why thank me? This is my responsibility, but it is so important that it cannot be known to others."
Xu Zhiqiong understood what Taibu meant, that is, when you cause trouble, don't involve me.
Wu Xu and Xu Zhiqiong were about to leave, and Taibu gave another warning: "There are several southern Xinjiang Gu masters who have frequently appeared in the capital in recent days. Every household must be careful. During the southern expedition in the past, I once prepared a method to crack the Gu technique."
The Dharma was collected and written into a "Gu Volume", which is now given to thousands of households to help them."
Wu Xu accepted the "Scroll of Gu Transformation" and thanked Taibu again.
"Cultivation is not easy, so households must be careful."
The green lamp went out and Taibu disappeared.
Xu Zhiqiong and Wu Xu left the Yin and Yang Division and returned to Zhang Deng Yamen.
Taibu was really a cautious person. He knew clearly that the person who raised the poison was Liang Yuming, but he never mentioned Liang Yuming's name from beginning to end.
This also proves that the help he can provide is limited to this.
Wu Xu didn't expect anything more, and he was extremely satisfied with the results of his trip.
After cooking a jar of green plum wine, Wu Xu and Xu Zhiqiong ate mutton and had a few drinks.
After drinking, Wu Xu suddenly sat up and remembered something important:
"Zhiqiong, that girl Jinghan, is she the master of the Shushu Pavilion of Yingge Academy, right?"
Xu Zhiqiong swallowed the mutton, lowered his head and said, "Qianhu, you guessed this yourself, but I never told you."
Wu Xu said with a serious expression: "Last time Qu Jinshan and I went to the Shushu Pavilion. Qu Jinshan solved thirteen problems in a row. I had a chance to become the master of the pavilion, but I chose a mathematician at random. Now I think about it and regret it.
But I missed my chance to know my true divination friend!"
"It's a bit regretful." Xu Zhiqiong didn't know how to evaluate it, so he could only lower his head and drink. Wu Xuman drank a glass, his eyes shining and said: "In the future, you and I will go to Yinggeyuan Shushu Pavilion again, you can help me
To solve the problem, I must meet with this pavilion master for a while."
Xu Zhiqiong sniffed and said, "Is this okay?"
"What's wrong, I've asked for fortune-telling so many times and suffered so much humiliation, why not let him hate me too!"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "When is the time to retaliate? Don't wait until later. Just be happy and let's go now."
The last time I went to Yinggeyuan, I only cared about serious matters and missed a beautiful lady. Xu Zhiqiong still feels bad about it.
"You can't go!" Wu Xu said, "You can't go to those places until the matter calms down. From today on, you will still patrol the night as usual, and follow the commander's instructions. If you encounter human teeth or the like, just kill them. In addition, you will be around
Among people, recommend three reliable people to me, at least three."
