After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 135 told a lie
More than three thousand years had passed since Gu Su's death, and Hunyuan Monkey was still alive, but he had become an old monkey.

As a cub, it could run and jump, and was extremely happy all day long. Its favorite thing to do was to swing happily in the forest while searching for herbs in the ancient millet, and it would also hide in the leaves and play hide-and-seek with its owner.

By the time Gu Su grew old, Hunyuan Monkey had become much more composed. It seemed to have gotten used to the monotonous life of a cultivator, and its daily routine was more like that of a human than a monkey.

Today, the Hunyuan Monkey is old and frail, spending most of its time sleeping and sitting on the swing in a daze.

According to the Gu family, it has about two hundred years left to live.

Gu Su cared about Hunyuan Monkey until his death, and even in his last words, he asked his descendants to take care of it, so the entire Gu family respected it very much.

For its sake, the Gu family even moved their house once. The new house was built against the mountain, which allowed it to go up the mountain to play and rest at any time. If it wanted, it could also stay in a small house built for it in the mountain.

Only Gu Su and Hunyuan Monkey had ever been inside that hut. After Gu Su died, only Hunyuan Monkey could live there. Others could only go in to clean it, and those who served it could only rest in the adjacent hut.

Because the Gu family's poison skills were renowned throughout the continent and feared by many, no one dared to approach the Gu family's residence. That area, including the mountains and forests behind it, was exclusively for the Gu family and was considered a forbidden zone for others.

The Gu family intentionally protected the Hunyuan Monkey, whose strength was already equivalent to that of a Void Returning stage cultivator. It was also fearless of poisonous creatures and had a great understanding of human nature, so almost no one had the opportunity or ability to harm it, let alone scheme against it.

So the Gu family had always trusted it, but they never expected that the Hunyuan Monkey would run into trouble this year.

Three months ago, it went up the mountain once, and then suddenly fell into a deep sleep and never woke up. The monkey's condition deteriorated rapidly, and it was barely breathing.

Even though the Gu family tried every possible method to use medicine, they couldn't wake it up; they could only keep it alive temporarily.

The Hunyuan Monkey is regarded as a sacred beast by the Gu family. Its status is exactly the same as that of the ancestor Gu Su. Every Gu family head must pay homage to it and dares only sit below it.

If the Hunyuan Monkey had died of old age, that would have been fine, but something happened in the last two hundred years. How are they supposed to explain this to their ancestors?
Moreover, a sorcerer once asserted that the Hunyuan Monkey was an auspicious beast for the Gu family, and that as long as the auspicious beast remained, the Gu family would maintain its glory.

If the Primordial Monkey were gone, the Gu family would only decline day by day.

Therefore, whether from a moral or logical standpoint, they cannot allow anything to happen to Hunyuan Monkey!
"We searched its entire body and discovered that someone had put a Dream Gu worm into its sea of ​​consciousness." Gu Qingxiu's voice trembled as she spoke, filled with grief and indignation. "That Dream Gu worm would gradually devour the spiritual energy in its sea of ​​consciousness, then eat its brain, and finally burst out of its head..."

"Qingxiu." Gu Mingyu, who was standing next to her, couldn't bear to see her so sad, so he reached out and patted her back. "Let me tell you."

Gu Qingxiu nodded, tears falling as she lowered her head and sobbed silently.

“In the past few thousand years, the sacred beast has only been close to two juniors of my Gu family, and Qingxiu is one of them.” Gu Mingyu explained to Liu Feng and the others, “When Qingxiu was a child, she often went to play with the sacred beast, reading books while keeping it company. She even received guidance from the sacred beast in making poison, so they have a very deep bond.”

Mo Jiuwei ate while listening to the story. Even though she ate slowly, she was full after a while, so she stopped eating.

It's not easy. Spirit beasts often find it difficult to integrate into human life. Even if they recognize a master, they will at most stay with their master until the master dies, and then return to the mountains and forests.

[This Hunyuan Monkey not only accompanied Gu Su from childhood, but also stayed in the Gu family for three thousand years to continue bringing blessings to the Gu family's descendants. It can be considered very loyal and devoted.] [However, the Gu siblings were lying.]

Liu Feng's brows twitched suddenly, and Du Yue and the others also showed slight changes in their expressions.

Did you lie?

Are they lying?

[The sorcerers and auspicious beasts are all just a facade! The real reason the Gu family respects the Primordial Monkey so much, besides their three thousand years of friendship, is primarily because the monkey's fresh blood can cure all poisons!]

The members of the Immortal Sect were momentarily speechless.

Why is the Gu family so unique in its drug production, surpassing all other aristocratic families, and even able to maintain its current status after being targeted by other families?

[This is all because someone, oh no, someone's a monkey, is covering for them!]

Other poison masters are inevitably apprehensive when creating new poisons, fearing that the toxicity will be too strong and kill them, or that they won't be able to create a corresponding antidote... But the Gu family doesn't need to worry, because even if they are truly poisoned and about to die, they can find the Hunyuan Monkey to help them.

The Hunyuan Monkey was not born with the ability to cure all poisons. This was related to the time it accidentally ate a poisonous herb and almost died from it. After that, its body mutated, and even its blood changed.

Gu Su discovered this by accident.

The Gu family dared to make poisons, daring to touch any kind of top-grade poison, and even the most poisonous materials, because they knew they wouldn't die from poisoning.

The reason why the Gu family's skill level is so high that they are far ahead of the rest is because they dare to take risks and try new things!

Other families, lacking this trump card, would naturally be more cautious, avoiding even the most unpredictable poisonous insects and plants, thus failing to achieve the same success as the Gu family.

So now that Hunyuan Monkey is in trouble, the entire Gu family is in a panic. This is not just because our elders and relatives are about to die, but also because it concerns the safety of everyone's life and the honor of the Gu family!
The Hunyuan Monkey has two hundred years left to live. There are so many things that can be done in these two hundred years. The Gu family can use these two hundred years to secure two thousand years of wealth and prosperity for the future.

The people from the Immortal Sect didn't look too good, and when they looked at the Gu siblings again, their eyes held a slightly strange glint.

The Gu family actually used the blood of the so-called sacred beast to detoxify? Doesn't that mean the Hunyuan Monkey has been suffering torment in the Gu family all along, and might even be a living blood bag, allowing people to take its blood?

That's so tragic! Does Gu Su know about this?
Or is it that even Kosugawa did this?
Thinking about this, everyone felt a sense of disgust, as if they had swallowed a fly. The emotion they had felt while listening to the story, because of the bond between the master and the beast, was about to disappear.

Meng Ling couldn't help but glare at the Gu siblings, wanting to grit her teeth in anger.

However, at this moment, Mo Jiuwei continued to think—

[But thankfully, this lie is understandable. This kind of thing can't be known to outsiders, otherwise the still-breathing Hunyuan Monkey would be devoured alive by all the cultivators on the continent!]
