There are two people living under the same roof, but they seem to be alone. Usually they don't say a word for two or three days, even when eating.
Xue Chen likes to enjoy delicious food, and three meals a day are essential, but Yu Jinhua only enjoys dinner, which is also a time for the two of them to see each other steadily. Otherwise, the two of them deal with their own affairs.
When he saw that the complexion of Jade Jinhua had obviously changed a lot, and it was exuding a pleasant luster from the inside out, Xue Chen thought that the cultivated Gu insects must have brought back enough yang energy to her.
"It seems that you won't have to suffer from cold poison in the future." Xue Chen said.
Yu Jinhua frowned slightly.
"What? What's the problem?" Seeing her look, it was obvious that she had encountered something.
"Except for some problems, the cultivated Gu worms can absorb Yang Qi and give it to me, but for some reason, their lifespan is very short. A batch of Gu worms will all die in a month at most, and I have to cultivate the next batch.
." Jade Jinhua looked serious, "And cultivating a batch of Gu insects requires a lot of materials, about 10,000 meritorious deeds."
Ten thousand meritorious deeds?!
Xue Chen was shocked. After calculation, if he wanted to stay away from the pain of cold poison forever, he would need to cultivate twelve batches in one year. The total value of the materials required exceeds one hundred thousand merits. This is a huge amount of money.
Large amount.
Of course, if she definitely takes the initiative to speak, the Yanhuang Department will definitely not refuse and provide it for free, but the problem is, she will not speak at all.
"Then how many meritorious deeds do you have now?" Xue Chen knew that she would refine some elixirs related to voodoo insects, such as the Bone Insect Pill, which was amazing and of great value.
Yu Jinhua's eyebrows were solemn and she said that she only had more than 10,000 meritorious deeds on hand.
"The two of them, Hua Tuo's group, did earn a lot of merit as doctors, but they all spent it on cultivating all the Gu insects."
Xue Chen took a look around and saw crawling Gu insects everywhere, countless of them, a hundred thousand in total.
"The Bone Insect Pill is the best elixir I can make, but the problem is that usually only practitioners who practice physical arts are willing to spend merit to buy it, and in the Yanhuang Department, practitioners of physical arts have added up to
There are only about ten people together."
Without enough consumers, no matter how good the product is, it will not make money. Xue Chen still understands this truth.
"Then there is no other way?" He very much hoped that Jade Jinhua would have enough yang energy to no longer bear the pain of cold poison. In this way, the resentment in her heart would naturally gradually dissipate. This would be a good thing for anyone.
All good.
"Yes!" Jade Jinhua said that the short lifespan of the voodoo indicates that the voodoo has flaws, which means that she is not proficient in the voodoo technique. If someone who is better at the voodoo technique can help her, she may be able to make up for this flaw and let the voodoo
Insects survive for a long time.
Xue Chen thought that there were so many practitioners in the Yanhuang Department that they could be considered as hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There should be people who were proficient in Gu.
Yu Jinhua was silent for a while and told him that there were indeed two or three practitioners in the department who also studied voodoo, but they were not as good as her and could not help her.
"I told you that my Gu technique came from the Ancient Immortal Village, and the Ancient Immortal Village is the inheritance that is the best at Gu technique among all the inheritances in the Chinese cultivation world. It can even be said that there is a difference between heaven and earth. I can just pick it from the Ancient Immortal Village.
The Gu technique of the most common Danhua realm wizard who came out of this world can surpass all other inheritances."
"So, the only people who can help me are... the people from Guxian Village." Yu Jinhua pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes.
Hearing the words "Guxianzhai" again, Xue Chen still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. In fact, the inheritance represented by these three words was too mysterious and deep, like an abyss with no bottom, which made people inevitably have some doubts.
Feeling frightened.
"Are you planning to go to Guxian Village to seek help?"
As soon as he finished asking, he saw Yu Jinhua showing an impossible look.
"Guxian Village... is a very special place. I told you that they basically do not interact with outsiders. In fact, this is indeed the case. In the past few decades, people from Guxian Village have appeared in
It was never seen more than three times."
Jade Jinhua's tone was low.
"Even I have only been there once. I still represent the Yanhuang Department and symbolize this country. But now, Guxian Village will not receive me, let alone provide any help."
Both men were silent.
In Xue Chen's mind, the words Guxianzhai appeared repeatedly. What kind of place was it? It was so different, incompatible with the entire world of cultivation, and so mysterious.
It is as if the cultivation world in China is divided into three categories, the Yanhuang Department, the Ancient Immortal Village, and all other cultivation inheritances.
Xue Chen also wanted to help Jade Jinhua, but he really didn't have any ability to help. He knew nothing about the art of Gu, and even if he wanted to help, he was unwilling and unable to do so.
A few days later, Xue Chen's cell phone received a message, which was a message used within the Yanhuang Department to issue tasks.
Basically, he would receive it once or twice a month, but each time he would reply directly with the word "no", so that the tasks would be redistributed.
He had only been in the Yanhuang Department for a short time, just over half a year, but the amount of meritorious deeds passed through his hands was huge, totaling 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and he had spent all of it, leaving nothing behind.
Because of this, it is difficult for him to be interested in tasks that can only obtain one or two hundred merit points. It is like a bankrupt billionaire who wants to go back to the most ordinary job and receive an ordinary person's salary for a month.
If it is difficult to do, just reject it psychologically.
For him, it is not only this reason, but more importantly, time is tight. He only has six months. Only by achieving the Dan Hua realm within these six months can he have the opportunity to try to obtain that great fortune.
!
For example, when it comes to obtaining merit that is not very objective, he naturally knows where to spend his time.
He was accustomed to reply with the word "reject", but when he glanced over and read the entire task content, the edited word "reject" was deleted.
The content of the mission is very simple. A certain hotel suffered an unknown attack and two security guards were killed.
"Pingyuan City, Hilton Hotel..."
This location is very sensitive to Xue Chen, because it was there that he killed the human Gu who escaped from the Ancient Immortal Village!
Now, it was too much of a coincidence that the case happened in the same hotel. What caught his attention even more was that there was a simple description of the case. The two security guards did not die in an ordinary way. There were no wounds on their bodies, just like...
Died suddenly.
This is enough to show that what the two security guards encountered was not an ordinary situation, it was not an ordinary murder case, and it was very involved.
After thinking about it for a moment, he entered two words: receive.
He took the case.
"Do you think this has something to do with Guxian Village?" After hearing what he said about this matter, Yu Jinhua inevitably showed some cautious expressions.
"I don't know, but I think it's very possible." He really hoped in his heart that he had nothing to do with Guxian Village, but his rationality told him that there was a very high possibility of being related to Guxian Village.
If it was really someone from the Ancient Immortal Village who did it, then it is obvious that the purpose of coming here was because of the murder of Human Gu, and there is an inextricable relationship with him.
He decided to immediately go to Pingyuan City to check the situation. If it was really people from Guxian Village who came, then all he could do was be prepared to deal with it.
Realizing that the Ancient Immortal Village had finally found him, he couldn't help but feel extremely heavy and uncomfortable. This wasn't fear, it was just that no one could care less about a strange and unpredictable first-class inheritance.
"You...be careful yourself."
When Xue Chen was about to go out, he heard Yu Jinhua's delicate voice.
In half a day, he arrived in Pingyuan City from the capital. The local police also warmly received him, a "criminal-solving expert" from the capital, and took him to the scene of the crime.
The murder took place in the hotel, more precisely in the duty room where the security guard was on duty at night. Except that two people died, there was nothing special about it.
Xue Chen then saw two corpses in the morgue of the Public Security Criminal Investigation Laboratory. Just as described in the mission, no wounds could be seen on the bodies of the two people, and the cause of death was strange.
"Several forensic doctors in our city jointly conducted an examination, but no cause of death was found at all." The captain of the criminal police team said at the side, looking at Xue Chen from time to time, with doubts in his eyes, how could there be such a young crime-solving expert?
If he didn't have documents and a phone number from his superior, he would definitely suspect that he was a counterfeit.
In addition, there were several people standing next to him, including criminal investigation police officers and forensic experts from the laboratory.
Xue Chen's eyes were always on the two corpses, and he looked at them carefully.
For a moment, he saw something. There was something in the heads of the two security guards that did not belong to this body, and it was emitting a black energy.
"That's..." After looking carefully for a few times, he finally saw clearly that they were two tiny bugs living in the brain of the corpse.
Obviously, it was not an ordinary bug, but a Gu worm! As for what kind of Gu worm it was, he didn't know.
But it can be seen that these two bugs look very strange, like spiders with many branches, almost covering the entire brain.
"Guxian Village..." The situation he least expected to see happened. People from Guxian Village came anyway. Obviously they didn't intend to give up. What was their purpose? Naturally, they were to trace the death of Human Gu.
In my heart, I really hoped to get rid of the word "Guxianzhai" after getting rid of the poison that caused hallucinations and seeing the dark moths. I also didn't want to have too much involvement with this extremely mysterious first-class inheritance, especially grudges.
But the reality did not let him do what he wished. The people from Guxian Village still came to find him. Although they had not met in person, the methods of the people from Guxian Village were clearly revealed. They casually killed two hotel security guards.
It’s obvious that he doesn’t care about human life at all. (To be continued)
