Zhao Ya's shocking words stunned Han Fu, but she quickly blurted out, "That's impossible! You and I are just insect seedlings, we were saved by Gongzi before we could become Gu slaves! "
She clearly remembered that she, Zhao Ya, and the other "insect seedlings" were thrown into the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit, and they were told that only one of them could survive. If they didn't want to die, they had to kill each other to fight for the chance to become Gu slaves, which was also the only chance to survive.
But before the killing started, Gongzi Peacock and Xie Anping joined hands to kill their way into the Southern Border and fought with Gu Xuanling. In the end, Gu Xuanling 'died', and his Gu slaves were either killed or escaped. She and Zhao Ya were also safely rescued from the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit. Because she had nowhere to go, she followed Gongzi Ling and became his first maid.
Zhao Ya sneered, "Is it hard to understand? I was indeed rescued from the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit with you, but that wasn't the first time I came out of the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit, and no one came to save me the previous time. "
"Not the first time you came out of the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit …" Qin Feng suddenly realized, "Insect insects kill their relatives to comfort Tao Wu, did you do something similar?"
"Insect insects? Tao Wu? What does it mean! "Han Fu still didn't understand. She was already mentally exhausted, and didn't want to think, and didn't dare to think anymore.
Qin Feng sighed and explained, "It is recorded in the book that there is a kind of insect called Tao Wu. It will prey on another kind of insect called insect insects, and it will bring the eggs of the insect insects back to its nest to raise them. The raised insect insects will be obedient to Tao Wu, and will mix into the nests of other insect insects to cause damage, causing the insect insects to kill each other. Finally, it will inform Tao Wu to take advantage of the situation."
"Insect insects, Tao Wu, what an exquisite metaphor." Zhao Ya smiled lightly, looked at Han Fu and said, "It's almost the same. Before I met you in the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit, I was already Gu Xuanling's Gu slave. Gu Xuanling paid attention to efficiency. Although there was only a small possibility, if the insect seedlings really didn't want to kill each other, and instead cooperated to seek survival, it would undoubtedly slow down or even destroy the progress of his Gu slave refining. Therefore, every time he threw the insect seedlings into the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit, he would send a Gu slave to the insect seedlings, responsible for fanning the flames and causing internal strife. When he was sure that the killing was about to start, he would fake his death and withdraw, leaving the insect seedlings to decide the final survivor. And that time, it was my turn to do it. "
"You all know what happened after that. Before I could stir up any trouble in the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit, the Young Master had already fought his way to the Southern Border. Gu Xuanke was injured in the battle and faked his death. The rest of the Gu slaves lost their backers. Even if they weren't killed on the spot, most of them were dismembered by the Southern Border clans that bullied them in the past. But I escaped the disaster because I was in the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit. Naturally, I didn't dare to reveal my identity again, so I pretended to be an innocent worm seedling and was accepted as a maid by the Young Master. Young Master would never have thought that even though he thought he saved me from the Ten Thousand Corpse Pit, I was already hopeless before that! "
"No, Sister Ya, I understand. You are not beyond redemption, you just … had no choice …" Chu Song weakly defended Zhao Ya. Her mind had recovered somewhat, but her teary eyes were still dim and empty, with lingering despair. Just now, she had used the Parasite Gu to test Zhao Ya, causing a moment of intertwining memories. In that instant, she had seen the memories that Zhao Ya did not want to remember.
It was obscene, dirty, greedy, and bloody. Even if it was just a fleeting memory, the darkness and filth in it was like a bottomless quagmire that wanted to swallow her. She couldn't imagine how Zhao Ya survived in that despair.
Zhao Ya did not accept pity and sneered. "Ha, I had no choice. Why don't you ask Han Fu and see if she agrees?"
Han Fu's face paled again, but she still tried her luck and said, "But if you are really a Gu slave, how do I know if you did it out of your own will or because you had no choice …"
Zhao Ya said coldly, "It must have been hard on you. Why are you still trying so hard to find excuses for me? Is it really for my own good, or do you not want to face a lifetime of being deceived by your loved ones and friends? Gu Xuanzhi has disappeared for almost thirty years. I have the notes that Gongzi brought back from Gu Xuanzhi's lair, and I can ask the divine doctor Chu Bainiu for advice. Even if I were ten times more stupid, I would have found a solution. Not only me, but I was also the one who suppressed the Gu in your husband. "
Seeing that Han Fu was repeatedly provoked, Gongzi Ling was afraid that she would lose control and hurriedly asked, "But although Tie Shan's Parasite Gu has faked death, it is still in his body. What about you? Why don't you have any Gu in your body? "
A trace of confusion flashed in Zhao Ya's eyes. She gently shook her head and said, "I don't remember. Others don't know my identity, but how can Gu Xuanzhi not know? Because of the Gu restraining each other, as long as I have the Parasite Gu in my body, the child Gu will not dare to get close to me and can't seize my memory. So I will definitely notice the abnormality of the other monsters in the villa. Therefore, before Gu Xuanzhi attacked the villa, he must have targeted me and taken away the Parasite Gu in my body. But when I realized it, my memory was already so incomplete that I couldn't remember when the Parasite Gu was taken away. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to invite Tie Shan here and use the Gu in his body to verify it. "
Gongzi Ling asked again, "I still have a question. After you killed Tie Shan, you reminded us of Gu Xuanzhi's existence and left a clue for us to find the Encyclopedic Insect Encyclopedia. But the book is missing a key page. What is the page that was torn off?"
"It's the way to get rid of the mother Gu." Zhao Ya said with a faint smile.
"What?" Qin Feng cried out in shock. Sister Ya, who had been with him for many years, was once a Gu slave. It was too much of a shock for him to recover. Since Zhao Ya was not Gu Xuanzhi, the problem in the villa was still unsolved. He quickly asked, "What's the method?"
"It's a useless method." Zhao Ya poured cold water on him. "There are many records. In the end, it's still the same: Gu devouring each other. "
Qin Feng immediately understood and said, "You want to find another mother Gu? Let two mother Gu fight each other? But where can we find another one? "
Chu Song also frowned and said weakly, "Is there any record of the method to refine a mother Gu? If there is, I can try to refine one … "
"Ha, Gu Xuanzhi is not a teacher or a disciple. Do you think he wrote the Encyclopedic Insect Encyclopedia out of kindness? It's just that he often diverts part of his attention to the Gu slaves to control them. If the Gu slaves die accidentally, that part of his memory will also be destroyed. That's why he wrote this book. It's just to help him remember some ways to use the Gu when he forgets. But the most important memory like the method to refine the Gu is only left in his body. He will not write it in detail in the book. Because of this, the method is useless to us. That's why I tore it away. I don't want Young Master to waste time looking for the method. I can use the most direct method — killing the host body of the mother Gu. Unfortunately … Ha! "
At this point, Qin Feng completely understood. Since killing Tie Shan, Zhao Ya had led him to find clues step by step. She wanted to let the news that Xie Lingyan was the host body of the mother Gu make a choice. She wanted Young Master Ling to choose between the safety of the villa and Xie Lingyan's life. But her plan was ruined by Ying Feiyang. No. Qin Feng shook his head and said, "There's no pity. You know Young Master won't do that."
"Yes, but I still hope Young Master can do it." Zhao Ya sighed faintly, and her eyes became soft with a bit of obsession. "He should be the unbridled and arrogant Monster King. The past related to that woman shouldn't restrict his wings. Only by cutting off the shackles with his own hands can he return to the flawless and flawless Young Master."
"I don't want Young Master to change. Actually, it has nothing to do with that woman. If it were any other female demon in the villa, Young Master would still not kill her. He is too proud. No one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do. This is also the reason why I stay in the villa." Qin Feng shook his head and said. His words vaguely became a little strange. The two female demons in front of Young Master Ling talked about Young Master Ling's style without any scruples. As Qin Feng tucked a strand of his hair, a lazy killing intent inadvertently spread out. "So in order for me to continue living comfortably, I will do what Young Master doesn't want to do!"
Sensing the killing intent in his words, Young Master Ling raised his eyebrows slightly. "What do you want to do?"
Qin Feng said coldly, "To correct your mistake. You let Xie Lingyan go and wasted time. We can't find Gu Xuanzheng's host body, so we can only erase all possibilities."
Hearing this, Chu Song's face turned pale. "You want to kill Wei Zi and the others?"
"I don't want to. I'm already killing them." Qin Feng stood solemnly. The wind blew up the corner of her skirt. Underneath her skirt were not a pair of slender legs, but thick vines that had penetrated deep into the ground.
Midnight was approaching, but Zhao Ya was not Gu Xuanzheng. The unexpected identity and the little time left forced Qin Feng to choose the last method.
Ever since Qin Feng recovered from the shock of Zhao Ya's identity, she had the intention to kill. Afraid of being delayed, she continued to talk on the surface, but secretly extended the vines to the library.
Before coming here, she had restrained the three demons, Fu Youshu, Wei Zi 'er, and Miao' er, in the library. No matter which one of them was Gu Xuanzheng, no matter how unfathomable Gu Xuanzheng's Gu Art was, their physical bodies were just female demons that could not resist. As long as she extended the vines to their throats, she could easily strangle them to death.
Young Master Ling would not allow such a method, but no matter how powerful he was, he could not stop it.
But before Young Master Ling could stop her, Qin Feng was first stunned. Her eyes widened, then she squeezed out a trembling voice from between her teeth. "One is missing. It's Miao 'er. She is no longer in the library!"
- = - =
If she was not in the library, where could she be?
In the underground chamber of the Peacock Manor, a sudden voice broke the silence and gave the answer.
"Dong, dong, dong, the Elder Ancestor is knocking on the door. Is Young Master Peacock at home?"
The secret door of the tomb slowly rose up. A pair of energetic legs, a thin figure, and a childish face appeared as the door rose up. The last thing that came into view was a pair of wet cat ears, standing upright on both sides of her hair, like a beautiful bow. It was the little cat demon Miao Er!
"Hehe, Young Master, how is it? Are you surprised to see the Elder Ancestor?" Miao 'er's tone did not lose its innocence, but her amber eyes revealed a ruthlessness that exceeded her age. She looked towards the figure in the tomb.
And where her gaze landed, it was actually another Young Master Ling!
Young Master Ling's eyes flashed, but his expression did not change. He only sneered and said, "Imitating others and making a fool of yourself. If an old toad like you pretending to be a young girl is considered shocking, then you have indeed shocked me!"
"Likewise, you have also shocked the Elder Ancestor." Miao 'er tilted her head and looked around. "I did not expect there to be another passage under the waterfall, and even more unexpected that it is connected to the tomb. I also did not expect that the great Young Master Ling would find a junior to show his face while he hid in the tomb. As the saying goes, digging one's own grave is nothing more than this."
As Miao 'er spoke, she shook her head, causing the water droplets on her cat ears to scatter. Her words revealed that she was well aware that Ying Feiyang had faked his death and disguised himself as Young Master Ling. She had even imitated Ying Feiyang to fall into the waterfall, found the passage under the waterfall, and arrived at this place.
Young Master Ling coldly snorted and said, "Don't worry, after I kill you, I will remember to throw you out, lest you dirty this place. Dying like a drowning toad at the bottom of the abyss is the most suitable way for you to die."
"If you can do it, then do it. Aiya, Young Master Peacock is so proud, but why is he only shouting about killing and not doing anything? Could it be that … you don't even have the strength to fight?" Miao 'er licked her lips, her eyes narrowed into a line, and approached Young Master Ling step by step. As she walked, she continued, "Pupils dilated, the whites of your eyes are bloodshot, and the veins on your neck are bulging. These are all symptoms of being heavily poisoned. With your cultivation, even if you can't defend against the child venom, you should have a way to defend against it. Why are the symptoms of being poisoned even more severe than normal female demons? Could it be that you, Young Master, relied on your cultivation and forcefully sucked the child venom produced by the Parasite Gu into your body?
"Drip!" The atmosphere in the tomb seemed to suddenly become deathly silent, even the sound of water droplets dripping from Miao 'er's chin could be heard clearly. Young Master Ling's pupils also contracted and dilated, but at this moment, they fell into Miao' er's eyes.
"Oh, your pupils have dilated again. It seems that I, the Elder Ancestor, was right. Young Master, hang in there, don't lose consciousness so easily!" Miao 'er raised her hand as if she was cheering for Young Master Ling, but her amber eyes seemed to be able to see through Young Master Peacock.
In order to remove the mother venom in Xie Lingyan's body, Young Master Ling had tried many times to absorb it into his body and suppress it with his vigorous True Qi. But things did not go as he wished. The mother venom seemed to have taken root in Xie Lingyan's body, and if he tried to remove it by force, it would hurt his body. Instead, countless child venoms were absorbed into his body in the process, drilling into his brain. Even with his profound cultivation, after a long time, he felt that his mind was blurred, and his thoughts were chaotic. If he relaxed even a little, his mind would go blank. But he was worried that Gu Xuanke, who was hiding in the dark, would wait for an opportunity to attack, so he had been forcing himself to hang in there.
Fortunately, the appearance of Ying Feiyang gave him a chance to take a breather, so he could sit here quietly and try to suppress the venom in his body.
At this critical moment, Miao 'er appeared. But even though he used all his energy and mind to suppress the venom, Young Master Ling was still arrogant. "Hahaha, killing you is like killing an annoying mosquito in my sleep. It's just a flip of my palm. Do I need to have consciousness to do it? Otherwise, why did you stop?"
Miao 'er, who was approaching Young Master Ling, stopped ten steps away. She was sure that Young Master Ling had been deeply affected by the venom and would lose consciousness if he was distracted.
But she still had to be wary of Young Master Ling secretly accumulating strength for the last attack. Ten steps was her safe distance. Now that Young Master Ling had seen through her, she was not angry. She only smiled and said, "You want to kill me? Even if Young Master Ling, who has a tender heart for the fairer sex, destroys a flower today, it will be you, a poor little servant girl, who dies. What does it have to do with me? "
"Then why are you still wasting time? Do you need me to really sleep before you dare to attack? Well, I guess when I wake up, you won't dare to take a step forward! "Young Master Ling said and actually closed his eyes, completely ignoring Gu Xuanke.
Such actions caused Miao 'er to be slightly unable to figure it out. "Let me guess. Are you using the real to conceal your weakness and intentionally making a show of strength to make me fearful, or are you using the fake to lure me closer before launching a counterattack? Or perhaps you're delaying for time and hope that your cute little maidservants will notice it and rush over to save you. But … there's no difference!"
Miao Er 'er's innocent face froze. Countless insects crawled out from under her dress and swarmed towards Gongzi Ling. Accompanied by the sound of insects crawling, was her voice that suddenly seemed old.
"I'm the God of Venom, Xuan Ke. There are many venom insects that can help me to find out the truth about you!"
