As it got closer, Xu Qi 'an could even see a trace of joy in the seven absolute Gu's black bean-like eyes.
It was like a hedonistic young master seeing a peerless beauty … Xu Qi 'an had a strange expression as he ridiculed in his heart. Soon after, he found that the seven absolute Gu had disappeared.
It disappeared abruptly, like a formless force erasing it.
Was this the 'undetectable' property of Old Man Heaven Gu's corpse? No, it was still here … at the next moment, Xu Qi 'an denied his guess. In his vision, he saw a faint shadow moving behind him.
Why did it feel like it was hunting?
Xu Qi 'an suddenly had the urge to protect the back of his neck and rush forward.
With this urge, he felt an intense pain at the back of his neck, as if his flesh was cut open by something.
He immediately understood that the impulse to protect the back of his neck was a remnant of his instincts, a warning against danger.
At the back of his neck, the scarlet seven absolute Gu used its sharp limbs to easily cut open Xu Qi 'an's flesh. Dark red blood flowed out.
It pierced one of its limbs deeply into Xu Qi 'an's vertebra, as if it was connected to the host's nervous system.
Xu Qi 'an's eyes instantly turned red, his throat uncontrollably letting out a low growl, his face showing a crazed expression of extreme pain.
"Southern Border's Gu techniques have seven paths, but no matter which path, Gu Masters will nurture a vital Gu."
The Supervisor raised his hand and pressed down. A formless force descended from the sky, causing Xu Qi 'an to be unable to move, and could only endure the inhuman pain.
"The vital Gu and the host have a symbiotic relationship, sharing life and death. Normal Gu Masters are implanted with the vital Gu when they are born, and at the latest, at the age of ten.
"The implanted vital Gu is the same as them, in their infancy. This way, they can grow together to strengthen their compatibility, and also reduce the backlash of the Gu worm."
That's right, implanting the vital Gu would cause backlash, because the essence of this method was' man and Gu becoming one ', this went against the normal state of life.
Thus, to increase the success rate, Gu Masters would usually have their cultivation path decided at a young age.
Xu Qi 'an was an adult male, and the seven absolute Gu was also a mature Gu, thus the backlash was huge.
The second appendage pierced into his flesh and connected to his nerves. Xu Qi 'an's entire body trembled. The muscles on his face trembled, his lips trembled, and his entire body trembled in pain.
The third, the fourth, the fifth … Every time a limb pierced into flesh, it would pause for half a quarter of an hour, giving both the human and the Gu enough time to buffer.
Xu Qi'an felt pain in every part of his body, as if his cells were being torn apart. The pain was no less than when he had digested the Blood Pill that Wei Yuan had left behind.
If digesting the blood elixir was a forceful catalysis to the cells, it would force the cells to evolve.
Then accommodating the seven absolute Gu was a form of destruction to the cells, the destruction of the genetic chain.
He should have died during the process of accommodating the seven absolute Gu, but the Rank Three Warrior's extraordinary physique allowed him to resist this backlash.
When the sixth appendage pierced into his flesh and connected to his nerves, the scarlet seven absolute Gu retracted its six appendages. Its body slowly embedded itself into the flesh, sticking close to the spine and hiding itself.
Seeing this, the Supervisor flicked out a thin catgut thread. It was as if it had been given life, automatically stitching up the wound and even tying a butterfly knot.
"How do you feel?"
The Supervisor asked with a smile.
Xu Qi 'an did not answer. He closed his eyes and sensed seven abilities that originated from his instincts and were imprinted in his genes.
The first was called Heaven Gu. It knew the weather, knew the geography, could move the stars, and could peek into the secrets of heaven.
Most of the Heaven Gu Tribe's clansmen were at the level of knowing the weather and geography. They did things like fixing the lunar calendar and setting the solar terms, making great contributions to the Gu Tribe's agriculture.
Moving the stars was an ability that could only be obtained when the Heaven Gu was cultivated to a high level.
Xu Qi 'an had already seen the ability it had — the ability to be "unknown".
In the past, the Heaven Gu Old Man had used Moving the stars to hide from the Supervisor's senses. This was the core ability of the Heaven Gu Tribe.
As for peeking into the secrets of heaven, the Heaven Gu Tribe members who had reached a certain level could occasionally peek into a corner of the future, but it was a partial and blurry peek.
It was this ability that allowed the Heaven Gu Tribe's prophets to predict that the Gu God would eventually awaken and turn the Nine Provinces into a world of only gu.
Of course, this was not the same as peeking into the secrets of heaven by a Rank One Warlock.
If the Heaven Gu's peeking into the secrets of heaven was described as a photo without cause and effect, then the peeking into the secrets of heaven by a Rank One Heaven Fate Master was like a futuristic TV series.
There was a fundamental difference between the two.
The side effect was that the host's mood would change according to the surrounding environment. For example, when it was rainy, the host would feel depressed. When it was sunny, the host would be cheerful and lively …
…
The second was called the Strength Gu. It could make the host's five senses and six senses more acute. At the same time, it could increase the host's strength and self-healing ability.
The latter two were the core abilities.
The strength Gu Masters of the Strength Gu Tribe had unparalleled strength in the world. In the same realm, even a Warrior who tempered his physique would be at a disadvantage in a contest of strength.
Strength Gu Masters were most proficient in using brute force to defeat ten opponents. In addition, they also had a terrifying self-healing ability.
As long as they did not die on the spot, they could recover from any injuries under rank three.
However, depending on the severity of the injury, the recovery period would also change.
The side effect was that the host's appetite would increase sharply. The higher their cultivation, the more they would eat.
…
The third was called the Love Gu. The Love Gu released a colorless and odorless gas, causing the surrounding creatures to fall in love. Whether it was humans, animals or plants, they were all unable to escape.
In addition, the Love Gu could also plant a seed Gu in the target's body, causing them to be unable to leave for the rest of their lives. Love Gu Masters often used this method to control their slaves and even their lovers.
In addition to these, the Love Gu could also make one's skin smooth and make one's temperament outstanding, creating an appearance and body that was extremely attractive to the opposite sex.
It could even specifically modify the body, making it fit seamlessly or persistently.
The side effect was that the host's lust would become especially exuberant and there would only be one day and one night in their mind.
…
The fourth was called the Poison Gu. This Gu allowed the host to make use of the surrounding environment and conditions to create different poisons, it had a wide range of uses.
Sometimes, some poisons could have the effect of saving lives. Of course, this depended on the situation.
The side effect was that the host would have to swallow a certain amount of poison every day, such as arsenic or the venom of a poisonous snake.
…
The fifth was called the Heart Gu. The core of the Heart Gu was the word 'mutual affinity'. The Heart Gu Master could communicate with the target and trigger a certain emotion, then use this emotion to influence the other party.
For creatures with a certain level of intelligence, it could only influence them for a short period of time. But for creatures with low intelligence, it could influence them for a long time.
The former was represented by humans, while the latter was represented by beasts.
Thus, the Heart Gu was also called the 'Beast Taming Gu' by outsiders. The Heart Gu division's Gu Masters often used it to control beast groups, insect groups, snake groups and so on.
The side effect was that the host could not help but want to talk to animals every day and associate with them. Many Gu Masters in the Heart Gu division often had a relationship beyond friendship with beasts because of this side effect.
…
The sixth was called the Dark Gu. It could conceal one's aura and body. It was good at blending into the shadows and using the shadows to jump around.
Every Dark Gu Master was a terrifying assassin. They could kill without leaving a trace, and you would never know when they would get close to you.
It was worth mentioning that the Warrior specialized in countering Dark Gu Masters.
The side effect was that as long as the host saw a dark, hidden corner, they would subconsciously go in. The host had to hide for at least four hours every day and not be discovered by anyone.
…
The seventh was called the Corpse Gu. The Mother Gu produced a child Gu that resided in the corpse. The host could influence the child Gu through the Mother Gu and manipulate the corpse.
The biggest difference with the Witch God Sect's Corpse Control Technique was that the former would only be used once and thrown away after using it.
The latter, after the child Gu resided in the corpse, it would fuse with the corpse. The child Gu would become stronger as the Mother Gu became stronger. Correspondingly, the corpse would also become stronger.
A Rank Three Corpse Gu Master could produce at least twenty Rank Four child Gu and a number of other ranks.
There was another point. If the child Gu resided in a corpse that had just died, it was similar to possession. It would retain the abilities and aura of the deceased. How much was retained depended on the Gu Master's cultivation.
The side effect was that the host would develop a strong necrophilia. Corpse Gu Masters often had an indescribable relationship with corpses because of this side effect.
…
"Very powerful. The seven absolute Gu is very powerful. Unfortunately, it is only at the initial stage of awakening. I can only use some of its basic abilities. On the other hand, the heaven Gu seems to have developed well. I can directly use the ability of Stellar Transposition. But the seven absolute Gu's side effect … "
At this point, Xu Qi 'an suddenly paused. His expression was complicated.
Forget about the side effects of other Gu, the Love Gu, Heart Gu, and Corpse Gu worked together perfectly and left no room for survival.
The Heart Gu and Corpse Gu would make the host develop a strong impulse towards beasts and corpses. Then, at this crucial moment, the Love Gu's side effect would come …
Xu Qi'an was very worried about his future mental health.
The Supervisor clasped his hands behind his back and said with a smile,
"Actually, those side effects are the nutrients for the Gu worm's growth. If you keep this up day after day, the seven absolute Gu will slowly grow stronger and your cultivation will get higher. Even if it is only at the initial stage of awakening, you will rarely meet a worthy opponent under Rank Five. "
Xu Qi'an sighed, "The human world is not worth it."
Hearing this, the Supervisor's smile slowly disappeared. He turned around and sighed.
After a long time, he took out a conch engraved with formation patterns from his sleeve and tossed it over.
"If you need any help, contact him. He is my second disciple, Sun Xuanji."
What kind of strange person would the Supervisor's second disciple be … Xu Qi'an took the conch and looked at the Supervisor silently.
His gaze seemed to have pierced a sore spot in the Supervisor's heart. The old Supervisor said lightly,
"Get lost!"
…
In the Cabinet, Wang Shoufu stamped the Cabinet Chief's seal on the notice and then asked an official to send the notice to the Imperial Palace.
After doing all this, the Cabinet Chief stood up and went to the window. He opened the window and looked from the courtyard to the blue sky.
Grand Secretary Wang silently gazed into the distance, only feeling like today's sky was exceptionally clear.
A new era had arrived!
…
The country could not be without a ruler for a day. More urgent than this sentence was to clarify the truth. Send the court bulletin to the local officials and post the whole story of the chaos in the capital. Send a notice to the people in the capital and tell them what had happened.
The longer this matter was delayed, the easier it was to cause trouble.
In order to show the difference between the Crown Prince and his father, after the meeting last night, he immediately asked the Hanlin Academy to draft a notice. After it was approved by the Cabinet, the notice was finally posted on the notice walls of the various city gates in the capital.
After daybreak, seeing that the imperial court had finally given the result, people immediately gathered.
"What does the notice say? Let the literate people take a look. "
"Don't ask me. I know some words, but I can't understand them when they are connected."
An article was not something that could be understood just by being literate. One had to have a sufficient cultural background.
An official standing by the notice wall berated, "Silence!"
In this era, the literacy rate among the people was not high. Most of them could not understand the content of the notice. Therefore, on the day the notice was posted, the government would arrange for an official to read and explain the content of the notice every hour.
After a day, any news would spread throughout the capital, so there was no need to read it.
The people were already used to it. They immediately stopped discussing and listened to the official read.
After the official finished reading the notice, most of the people understood it. In an instant, there was an uproar and a lot of noise.
"What a fatuous ruler!"
"First, he cultivated for 20 years. Then, he was bewitched by the Witchcraft Cult and harmed Daibun's soldiers. This kind of fatuous ruler is rare in the history of Daibun."
"It's a pity that more than 80,000 soldiers were killed by a fatuous ruler. What's more, it's a pity that a pillar of the nation like Duke Wei died in vain … "
"I'm ashamed. I even scolded Duke Wei a while ago. He was the true loyal minister, the true pillar of the nation."
Some people sighed, while others beat their chests and stomped their feet in anger.
An old man carrying a load was crying. He beat his chest and wailed, "Duke Wei died unjustly.
"Duke Wei died unjustly. What kind of person was Duke Wei? He even won the battle of Shanhai Pass back then. Who would have thought that he would die in the hands of an incapable ruler …"
"Fortunately, Xu Yinluo was there to uphold justice."
One of the people clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"If it wasn't for Xu Yinluo, not only would the 80,000 soldiers and Duke Wei have died in vain, but we would also be in trouble. The Witchcraft Cult would have trampled the capital sooner or later."
"Yes, fortunately, Xu Yinluo was there. As long as Xu Yinluo is there, Daibun will still be righteous."
"If Xu Yinluo can kill the corrupt officials, he can also kill the fatuous ruler."
"I thought Xu Yinluo was right from the beginning. He wouldn't kill the emperor for no reason. When he broke into the palace, he said that Xu Yinluo would kill the fatuous ruler. But you didn't believe him."
"Who didn't believe him? I've always believed in Xu Yinluo."
The people hated the fatuous ruler. While they felt sorry for the 80,000 soldiers and Wei Yuan, they were sincerely glad that Xu Yinluo was there in Daibun, as if he had become the embodiment of justice in the eyes of the people.
Those who were more conservative in their bones and doubted the reason for the regicide also heaved a sigh of relief at this time.
Xu Yinluo was still Xu Yinluo. He had never changed.
"In my opinion, we should just let Xu Yinluo be the emperor."
A young man subconsciously voiced out his thoughts.
The noisy atmosphere immediately quietened down. The people looked at each other, but no one retorted or reprimanded him. It fell into a strange silence.
The contents of the notice quickly spread throughout the capital. The people reacted fiercely, gnashing their teeth at the mention of the fatuous ruler, and praising Xu Qi'an.
There were even people who wept bitterly, saying that Xu Yinluo was sent by the heavens to save Daibun. Not only was he Daibun's conscience, but he was also Daibun's savior.
Yuyang Pass had single-handedly killed three hundred thousand enemy soldiers, then beheaded the incapable emperor, and thwarted the Witchcraft Cult's plot to overthrow Daibun. Wasn't he their savior?
Of course, there were many who felt sorry for Wei Yuan. Fortunately, after Wei Yuan, Daibun had Xu Qi'an, and the people had a new hope.
I hope that after Wei Yuan, Daibun will have Xu Qi'an … Daqing Yi can die without regrets.
…
In a small courtyard in the inner city.
Mu Nanzi sat on a small folding stool, listening to Aunt Zhang talk endlessly about the contents of the notice. When talking about the fatuous ruler, she and Aunt Zhang looked angry and loudly criticized him.
When talking about Wei Yuan, she and Aunt Zhang felt sorry for the collapse of the pillar of the nation, and the eighty thousand soldiers who died in the Witchcraft Cult's territory.
She was like a street woman gossiping with other women in the alleys.
When talking about Xu Yinluo, Aunt Zhang was full of praises, saying, "If I were twenty years younger, I would be like other young ladies. I would definitely be Xu Yinluo."
Mu Nanzi looked wary.
"By the way, Lady Mu, has your husband not been back for a long time?"
Aunt Zhang asked.
In the past, he would come back every few days to love his wife, but he suddenly disappeared some time ago. She had never seen him again.
"Oh, he's busy."
Mu Nanzi said in a low voice.
She was not very happy. She rested her chin on her hand and sighed as she looked at the flowers in the courtyard.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Someone knocked on the door of the courtyard. Mu Nanzi's gloomy face brightened for a moment, but quickly fell. She turned her face away and refused to open the door.
Aunt Zhang chuckled. She thought to herself that her husband was back and she was angry.
She went to open the door.
When the door opened, an average-looking man with a gentle temperament stood at the door, holding a horse.
It was Lady Mu's husband.
"I'm leaving the capital. Are you willing to come with me?"
Mu Nanzi ignored him.
"Then, I'll go."
He turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey!" She called out.
"Hmm?"
"I want to stay in the best inn."
"Okay."
"Meat for every meal."
"Okay."
"Rouge and face powder."
"Okay."
"Don't bully me."
"Okay."
"Then, I'm willing …"
…
Dexin Garden.
Huaiqing spread out the Xuan paper and wrote, "Don't worry about not having a close friend on the road ahead. Everyone in the world knows you."
Then, she wrote, "Take care!"
After that, she went up to the attic and looked into the distance. She was lost in thought as she looked at the sky.
…
Shaoyin Palace.
Lin An was wearing a fox fur coat and came to the observation deck of the attic. She did not speak or sit, but looked into the distance silently.
After a long time, she murmured, "Looking forward to your return."
…
Stargazing Tower.
Li Miaozhen sat at the table in the bedroom angrily, looking angry.
Xu Qi'an did not agree to travel with her. He said that Tenzō Shōnin was too dazzling, like a torch in the dark. It would easily attract his enemy, Xu Pingfeng.
This reason made Li Miaozhen speechless.
"He's a useless person. What can he do with his insignificant cultivation? He just wants to travel alone. "Li Miaozhen said angrily.
"That stinky man might have left with other women." Susu whispered.
"How can he have other women? They are all staying in the capital." Li Miaozhen curled her lips.
"What about the first beauty of Daibun?" Susu was petty.
Li Miaozhen's face suddenly stiffened and her pupils dilated!
On the seventh floor.
At the door of a secret room, Master Hengy Yuan stood in the corridor with a solemn expression. He looked nervous and expectant.
Chu Yuanzhen stood side by side with him and said in a deep voice:
"Will Song Qing's method work?"
Hengy Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, but it's worth a try. It's all thanks to Elder Priest Li for extracting his soul."
After a pause, he said in a low voice, "My only concern in the capital is him. If he can be reborn, I can leave the capital and travel the jianghu to find traces of Lord Xu."
…
Inside the secret room, a child opened his eyes.
He stared blankly at the ceiling. He did not know why he suddenly appeared in this strange room.
The child sat up and subconsciously said instinctively, "Congratulations. Get. Rich …"
His eyes widened in surprise. That was not his voice.
He looked around and saw the body of a big black dog lying beside the flat bed.
He looked at the body of the black dog in a daze. At some point, tears streaked down his cheeks. He could not tell if it was sadness or joy.
The child stood up shakily, just like a baby learning how to walk.
He gained the joy of a new life and gradually became braver. He looked at the other body in the secret room. It was lying on the flat bed and covered with a white cloth.
The child walked over shakily, and with some curiosity, he uncovered the white cloth.
Under the white cloth was a man in green clothes. His temples were white and his face was handsome.
He was breathing lightly, but he could not wake up again.
…
Outside the city, an average-looking man was leading a strong filly. On the back of the filly sat an average-looking woman.
They complemented each other and were a match made in heaven.
"Let's go. Let's travel the world together." He smiled.
The average-looking woman replied reservedly: "Okay."
The man laughed and said: "World, here I come!"
The average-looking woman rolled her eyes.
"How about I sing a song for you?"
"No."
She rejected arrogantly.
…
Once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword
To see the prosperity of the world
The heart of youth is always frivolous
Now I'm home
