After thinking about it for a while, I didn't know what to do. I turned around and looked at Grandpa Mai. He hesitated and said, "Chen Yu, please put away the talisman for the time being. Regarding this matter of the Three Saints, let us
The Tang family has been offended, and in this case, having Qu Miaomiao in hand might come in handy in the future."
I couldn't imagine what use Naqu Miaomiao could be used for, but since Grandpa Mai told me to keep it, I had no choice but to do it.
After putting away the talisman, Qu Miaomiao said again: "Dear masters, I didn't hide it intentionally when I was in the Three Saints Path, but because I just became a ghost not long ago, some memories have not been restored.
After staying in the Soul Gathering Talisman for a while, I was nourished by some Yin Qi, and now my memory has been restored."
I asked Qu Miaomiao whether the Qu family's family fortune was big.
Qu Miaomiao said: "Although our Qu family practices Taoism, we are not a wealthy family. I am the only one left here. I am the last descendant of Saint Qu in this world."
I wanted to continue asking, but Grandpa Mai interrupted me and said: "Okay, let's go back to the provincial capital first, and it won't be too late to ask these questions again after we get rid of the poison on you."
Indeed, this is the real thing.
On the way to the provincial capital, we didn't talk much. We arrived at the provincial capital around nine o'clock in the morning.
Ning Xi sent us directly to Tangfu Tea House and then drove away. Before leaving, she smiled at us and said, "I believe we will meet again soon. Goodbye!"
She waved at us, and I waved politely.
Mai Xiaorou smiled at the side and said, "I'm so excited. How about I take good care of you tonight?"
I quickly waved my hand and said, "That's not what I meant."
After entering the teahouse, Uncle Tang glanced at us, then politely sent us to the second floor, saying that Zhang Rui would be there soon.
Although Uncle Tang appeared to be very polite to us, it could be seen from his eyes that he hated us.
When we got to the second floor, Shangguan Hong served us tea and then left. Like Uncle Tang, she was respectful to us on the outside, but disgusted with us on the inside.
It seems that we have really offended the Tang family because of the Three Saints' Path, but we didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.
Not long after, Zhang Rui arrived at the teahouse with Tang Qing, whom we had met before. Zhang Rui had a smile on his face as usual. Tang Qing didn't have a smile on his face, but he didn't behave like Tang Bohe to us either.
Shangguan Hong was so disgusted.
After saying hello and sitting down, Zhang Rui first talked about remuneration and asked us whether we would receive cash or other methods.
Grandpa Mai said directly: "We will talk about the money later. First, let's see if there is anyone in your North China branch who can pull the poison out of Chen Yu."
Zhang Ruidao: "I have contacted a powerful Gu Master here. He will be here soon. Grandpa Mai, don't worry."
Tang Qing also said at this time: "The Three Saints' Way incident is a scandal of the Tang family and an internal conflict of the Tang family. Our Tang family will definitely do our best to thoroughly investigate the matter, find out the mastermind behind it, and put it to rest as soon as possible."
Regarding this matter, I also hope that the three fellow Taoists will not publicize this matter, otherwise it will be very difficult for our Tang family."
Grandpa Mai said: "We are only responsible for investigating the case. We will not interfere with other matters, and we are not willing to interfere with them. Miss Tang, don't worry."
Indeed, we don't bother to care about the troubles of those big families, let alone take the initiative to wade into the muddy waters inside.
Tang Qing also nodded and stopped talking.
Zhang Rui said with a smile at this time: "Actually, I can't blame the three Taoist friends for this matter. It was me who didn't thoroughly investigate the subsequent matters when I gave them the case.
I won't leave it to the three of them to deal with family matters, and I'm really sorry for causing fellow Daoist Chen to get hurt."
Next, while we were drinking tea, we talked about some useless things, and Zhang Rui also directly transferred the money to my card.
Not long after, an old man wearing a black Chinese tunic suit slowly walked up to the second floor. Zhang Rui and Tang Qing both stood up and saluted him. We didn't dare to neglect him and got up quickly.
Zhang Rui introduced: "This is Yun Zhonghai, Mr. Yun, a well-known Gu Master in North China. We were able to invite him this time only because of the Tang family's help. So Chen Yu, you also have to thank the Tang family."
Such kindness."
The Tang family took the initiative to ask a Gu master to remove the poison for me, which surprised me a little.
It seems that as Ning Xi said, the Tang family has conflicts and is probably divided into two factions. One faction will target us, while the other faction should be the faction that saved me. For the time being, it seems to be relatively upright.
After getting to know each other, Yun Zhonghai walked up to me and asked me to show him my right hand that had been infected with the poison.
He held my right hand and looked at it for a while, then gently put it down and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't pull out this kind of poison!"
When Yun Zhonghai said this, the hope that had just emerged in my heart was shattered. Isn't he a famous Gu master in North China?
Could it be that he didn't want to save me on purpose?
Mai Xiaorou immediately said from the side: "Senior Yun, you are an expert in cultivating Gu. There is nothing you can do. As long as you can save Chen Yu, we can do anything."
Yun Zhonghai shook his head and said: "The Tang family asked me to rescue this young man. I really don't dare to hide anything. My Gu skills are among the best in North China, but that's because there are too few Gu masters in North China, and
There are no masters, so my bewitching skills are not that superb, they are just a name for themselves."
Having said this, Yun Zhonghai pointed to the three fingers of my right hand and continued: "In addition, the poison he possessed is indeed very powerful. It is not an ordinary poison, but a rare soul-eating poison. I still vaguely feel
, this soul-eating Gu is much more powerful than the ordinary soul-eating Gu, because it also contains an inexplicable corpse energy. In addition to being poisoned by the poison, he was also poisoned by corpse poison, which is very difficult to deal with!"
I……
When I heard Yun Zhonghai say this, I didn't know what to say.
Mai Xiaorou asked Yun Zhonghai what the soul-eating Gu was and how powerful it was.
Yunzhong Haidao: "Soul-eating Gu is not a specific kind of Gu, but any kind of Gu can become a Soul-eating Gu after being cultivated by a powerful Gu master. Once it becomes a Gu, the Gu can not only devour other Gu
It can also feed souls, which is very powerful."
Mai Xiaorou asked Yun Zhonghai if he could raise the soul-eating Gu. Yun Zhonghai shook his head and said, "How can I not do that?"
It seems that I am hopeless in this part of North China.
Yun Zhonghai pondered for a while and then said: "In this world, the most powerful Gu technique is definitely one person, but you may not be able to find that person, but the place where this Gu technique is most active is undoubtedly the Miao Village area. Maybe you can go there
Look around and see if there is a powerful Gu Master who can save him."
I turned to look at Grandpa Mai, and he also nodded and said: "I know a few Gu masters in western Hunan. It seems that the only way to go is to see if they can save Chen Yu. In the last month, I will definitely find a way.
save you!"
As he said that, Grandpa Mai looked at me.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that I was not the only one injured this time. Grandpa Mai's situation was not much better than mine. When he dealt with those Gu insects, he burned his moral conduct and lifespan. Now he
already……
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
Mai Xiaorou couldn't help but cry softly, and then held Grandpa Mai's hand with some reluctance.
Zhang Rui was silent for a while and said: "There is nothing we can do about Grandpa Mai's situation. His life is too much!"
It seems that our return to the provincial capital this time was in vain!
Next, we didn’t stay too long at Tangfu Tea House. We went back to Cuidi Chunxiao to rest for one night, and then set off on the trip to Xiangxi the next day. As for the school, I could only ask for leave again. According to my current
Judging from the number of leave requests, failing the course is inevitable.
After getting on the train, Grandpa Mai said: "For the sake of insurance, when we arrived in Xiangxi, we went directly to find Xu Gaoren. He has many connections and knows more powerful Gu masters than I know. If he can't find us either,
When it comes to the Gu Master who saves Chen Yu, I'm afraid it's going to be really bad."
Mai Xiaorou and I nodded and didn't say much.
Originally, I thought about taking a plane with Grandpa Mai and Xiaorou, which would be faster, but I didn't expect that Grandpa Mai refused directly.
I asked Grandpa Mai why, and he said that if he added a hexagram to himself, it would not be easy to escape from the sky!
We were going to Xiangxi. It was a long journey, so naturally we bought sleeper berth tickets. Mai Xiaorou and I were in the upper berth. Grandpa Mai was inconvenient to stay in the lower berth.
There is still an empty space on my lower bunk. No one will disturb us for the time being, so we can keep it clean.
But when the bus arrived at the Henan border, a woman got on the bus, and she was my lower berth ticket.
We all know this person, it is Ning Xi who sent us back to the provincial capital yesterday.
As soon as she saw us, she smiled and said, "I said we would meet again. I didn't expect it to happen so soon and by such a coincidence. I feel a little surprised myself."
Ning Xi suddenly appeared, which made me feel that this matter was not just a coincidence, but that it had been planned in advance. Ning Xi deliberately wanted to go with us.
What is her purpose for doing this? Was it arranged by the Tang family to spy on us?
After saying hello and chatting for a while, we found out that Ning Xi was going to the same place as us. After further questioning, it turned out that she was also going to a certain Miao village in western Hunan.
I asked Ning Xi what she was doing in Miao Village, and she casually said two words: "Business trip!"
She refused to tell, so we stopped asking.
Ning Xi didn't talk to us much along the way. She just read a book when she had nothing to do. When she was hungry, she ate some snacks she brought with her. She never ate the food on the train. When she was sleepy, she took a nap. No.
Particularly questionable.
We got off the bus at a county town in western Hunan. After getting off the bus, Ning Xi did not join us anymore, but said hello and left.
To be honest, after she left, I felt at ease, because Ning Xi is so mysterious, and being around us always makes people feel an inexplicable pressure.
After Ning Xi left, Grandpa Mai said: "We will stay in the town for one day and go to the Miao Village to meet Mr. Xu tomorrow!" (To be continued)
