As it got closer, Xu Qi 'an could even see a trace of joy in the seven absolute Gu's 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 realized 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's still there … In the next moment, Xu Qi 'an denied his guess. In his line of sight, he saw a faint shadow circling 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 charge 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 realized that the urge to protect the back of his neck was his lingering warning of 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 ', which went against the normal state of life.
Thus, to increase the success rate, the Gu Master's cultivation path was usually decided at an early 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 limb pierced into the flesh, connecting to the nerves. Xu Qi 'an's body trembled, the muscles on his face twitched, his lips trembled, and his whole body trembled in pain.
The third, fourth, fifth … every limb that pierced into the flesh would pause for half an hour, giving the Gu and the human enough time to react.
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.
The pain of digesting blood pill was like forcefully of cells, forcing them to evolve.
Then accommodating the seven absolute Gu was a form of destruction to the cells, the destruction of the gene chain.
He should have died during the process of absorbing the seven absolute Gu, but the Rank Three Warrior's extraordinary physique allowed him to resist this backlash.
When the sixth limb pierced into the flesh, connecting to the nerves, the crimson seven absolute Gu shrunk its six limbs, slowly embedding itself into the flesh, sticking close to the spine and hiding itself.
Seeing this, the Supervisor flicked out a thin catgut thread. It was like it was given life, automatically stitching up the wound and even tying a bow.
"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, moved the stars, and peeked into the secrets of heaven.
Most of the Heaven Gu Tribe's clansmen were at the level of knowing the weather and geography, fixing the almanac, setting the solar terms, and making great contributions to the agricultural industry of the Gu Tribe.
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 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 members of the Heaven Gu Tribe who reached a certain level could occasionally peek at a corner of the future.
It was this ability that made the prophets of the Heaven Gu Tribe predict that the Gu God would eventually awaken and turn the Nine Provinces into a world of only gu.
Of course, this was incomparable to 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, on rainy days, the host would feel depressed. On sunny days, 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 sensitive, and 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.
Below Rank Three, as long as they did not die on the spot, any injury could be healed.
However, depending on the extent of the injury, the recovery period would also change.
The side effect was that the host's appetite would increase sharply, and 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, and all living things in the surroundings, be it humans, animals or plants, could not escape.
In addition, the Love Gu could also plant a seed Gu in the target's body, making them 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, and 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 it was the four words' heart and soul '. The Heart Gu Master could communicate with the target, and 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 relationships beyond friendship with beasts because of this side effect.
…
The sixth was called the Dark Gu, it could conceal one's aura and body, and was good at blending into the shadows, 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 Warrior specialized in 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, which would reside in the corpse. The host could influence the child Gu through the Mother Gu, and thus manipulate the corpse.
The biggest difference with the Witch God Sect's Corpse Controlling Art was that the former would only be used once, and thrown away after using it.
The latter, after the child Gu resides in the corpse, it would fuse with the corpse, and the child Gu would become stronger as the Mother Gu became stronger, and correspondingly, the corpse would also become stronger.
A Rank Three Corpse Gu Master could at least split into twenty Rank Four child Gu, and a number of other ranks.
There was another point, if the child Gu resides in a corpse that had just died, it would be similar to possession, it would retain the abilities and aura of the deceased, and how much it could be retained depended on the Gu Master's cultivation.
The side effect was that the host would develop an extremely strong necrophilia, and Corpse Gu Masters would often have an indescribable relationship with corpses because of this side effect.
…
"Very strong, the seven absolute Gu is very strong. Unfortunately, it is only at the initial stage of awakening, I can only use some of its basic abilities. On the contrary, the Heaven Gu seems to have developed quite 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 other Gu's side effects, the Love Gu, Heart Gu, and Corpse Gu's side effects could be said to be a perfect combination, leaving no room for survival.
The Heart Gu and Corpse Gu would cause the host to have an intense impulse towards beasts and corpses, surpassing friendship. Then, at this juncture, the Love Gu's side effect would come …
Xu Qi'an was very worried about his future mental health.
The Supervisor put his hands behind his back and said with a smile,
"Actually, those side effects are nutrients for the growth of the Gu. 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 an opponent below Rank-5. "
Xu Qi'an sighed, "The human world is not worth it."
Hearing this, the Supervisor slowly lost his smile, turned around, and also sighed softly.
After a long time, he took out a conch engraved with formation patterns from his sleeve, threw it over, and said,
"If you need any help, you can contact him, my second disciple, Sun Xuanji."
What kind of strange person would the Supervisor's second disciple be … Xu Qi'an took the conch and quietly glanced at the Supervisor.
His gaze seemed to have pierced a certain sore spot in the Supervisor's heart. The old Supervisor said faintly,
"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, came to the window, and opened it. His gaze moved from the courtyard to the blue sky.
Wang Shoufu looked into the distance silently, only feeling that today's sky was especially 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, to send the court bulletin to the local officials, to post the whole story of the disaster in the capital, and to send notices to the people in the capital, telling them what had happened.
The longer this matter was dragged on, 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, which was then approved by the Cabinet. Finally, at dawn today, the notice was posted on the notice walls of the various city gates in the capital.
After daybreak, seeing that the imperial court had finally issued a result, people immediately gathered.
"What does the notice say? Let the literate people take a look. "
"Don't ask me, I do know some words, but I can't understand them when they are connected."
Something like an article was not something that could be understood by literate people, it required a sufficient cultural foundation.
The official standing by the notice wall berated, "Silence!"
In this era, the literacy rate among the people was not high, and most of them could not understand the content of the notice. Therefore, on the day of the notice, 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, and there was no need to read it.
The people were already used to it, and immediately stopped discussing and listened to the official read.
After the official finished reading the notice, most of the people understood it, and the scene instantly went into an uproar.
"What a fatuous ruler!"
"First, he cultivated for 20 years, then he was bewitched by the Witchcraft Cult, causing harm to 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 is 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 as 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 is here to uphold justice."
A commoner's eyes were red. He 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 even we would also be in trouble. The Witchcraft Cult would have trampled the capital sooner or later."
"Yes, fortunately, Xu Yinluo is here. As long as Xu Yinluo is here, 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 that day, he said that Xu Yinluo would kill the fatuous ruler. But you didn't believe him."
"Who doesn'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 still here 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 said what he was thinking.
The noisy atmosphere immediately became quiet. The people looked at each other, but no one retorted or reprimanded him. They fell into a strange silence.
The content of the announcement spread quickly in the capital. The people reacted fiercely. When the fatuous ruler was mentioned, they gritted their teeth. When Xu Qi 'an was mentioned, they praised him.
Some people even cried and said 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.
He killed 300,000 enemy soldiers at Yuyang Pass and then killed the fatuous ruler. He thwarted the witchcraft cult's plot to overthrow Daibun. Wasn't he their savior?
Of course, there was no lack of people who felt sorry for Wei Yuan. Fortunately, after Wei Yuan, Daibun had Xu Qi 'an. The people had a new hope.
Of course, there was no lack of people who felt sorry for Wei Yuan. Fortunately, after Wei Yuan, Daibun had Xu Qi 'an. The people had a new hope.
"After Wei Yuan, Daibun will have Xu Qi 'an … Daqing Yi can die without regrets."
'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. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Mu Nanzi sat on a small stool and listened to Aunt Zhang talk about the fatuous ruler.
When Wei Yuan was mentioned, she and Aunt Zhang felt sorry for the collapse of the pillar of the nation and the 80,000 soldiers who died in the witchcraft cult's territory.
She was like a street woman who sat in an alley and gossiped with other women.
When Xu Yinluo was mentioned, Aunt Zhang was full of praise. She said, "If I were 20 years younger, I would be like any other young lady. I would be Xu Yinluo."
Mu Nanzi looked wary.
"Oh yes, 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 spend time with his wife. However, he suddenly disappeared some time ago. She had never seen Lady Mu's husband again.
"Oh, he's busy."
Mu Nanzi said softly.
Her mood sank. She was not very happy. She rested her chin on her hand and looked at the flowers in the courtyard. Then, she sighed.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
There was a knock on the door. Mu Nanzi's gloomy face brightened for a moment. Then, she turned her face away and did not go to open the door.
Aunt Zhang chuckled. She thought to herself that her husband was back. She was still angry.
She went to open the door.
When the door opened, an average-looking man with a gentle temperament stood at the door. He was 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 makeup."
"Okay."
"Don't bully me."
"Okay."
"Then, I'm willing …"
…
Dexin Garden.
Huai Qing spread out the Xuan paper, picked up the brush and wrote, "Don't worry about not having a bosom friend on the road ahead. Everyone in the world knows you."
Then, she wrote, "Take care!"
After that, she went to the attic and looked into the distance. She was lost in thought.
…
Shaoyin Palace.
Lin An was wearing a fox fur coat. She came to the observation deck of the attic. She did not speak or sit. She just looked into the distance.
After a long time, she murmured, "Hope for 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. She was like a torch in the dark. It would easily attract his enemy, Xu Pingfeng.
This reason made Li Miaozhen speechless.
"He's a cripple, what can he do with his insignificant voodoo cultivation base? 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. Her eyes widened!
On the seventh floor.
At the door of a secret room, Master Hengy Yuan stood in the corridor with a solemn face. 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 world to search for your excellency 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 stared blankly at the body of the black dog. 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 said with a smile.
The average-looking woman said in a reserved manner, "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 refused proudly.
…
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
