The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 629 These bastards!

Gu Yuan went up the steps, with a small paper figure beside him.

"Hurry up!"

The little paper figure flew ahead, looking at Gu Yuan's cautious manner with a speechless expression.

With it leading the way, all those freely moving Gu worms will stay far away, okay?

Gu Yuan watched the little paper figure fly up and down, looking around, and sighed helplessly.

"I only have two legs, so I can't compare to someone like you who flies."

Especially when he saw the little paper doll's hand crackling with electricity, Gu Yuan was genuinely envious of the little paper doll's constitution.

As it stands, this is not only effective against evil spirits, but even the Gu worms refined using this secret method are somewhat intimidated by the little paper figure.

Unfortunately, he was made of flesh and blood; otherwise, he would have really wanted to summon some heavenly lightning to temper his body.

"Hey, I found it!"

Gu Yuan only heard the little paper figure's voice, but did not see its form at all.

Just as he was about to ask the little paper doll what it had found, the little paper doll suddenly appeared in front of him.

Even though they already knew the little paper figure was fast, it was impossible to tell the difference with the naked eye.

Gu Yuan felt a slight tremor in his heart when the little paper figure displayed its speed in this way.

"Come with me quickly, I've found the mother Gu that can control you, it's so beautiful!"

Gu Yuan was happy when he heard the first sentence, but when he heard the second sentence, his face immediately showed resentment.

At a time like this, who cares whether the Gu worm looks good or not?
The little paper figure quickly led Gu Yuan to a place that looked like a collection room.

A seemingly solid stone door blocked their way.

Gu Yuan looked at the little paper figure: "Is the Gu worm you mentioned inside?"

The little paper figure nodded: "Yes, I sensed a lot of Gu worms in here just now, so I went to check it out myself before coming out!"

Gu Yuan looked it over. The stone door seemed to be sealed tightly and there were no signs that it had been opened. How did the little paper figure see that?

Gu Yuan still carries a heavy burden of his idol image at times, like right now, when he clearly really wants to know how the little paper doll got in.

However, asking the question so bluntly would make him seem a bit low-class.

Therefore, even if Gu Yuan didn't understand, he had to pretend to be very calm.

The little paper doll had no idea that Gu Yuan had so many complicated thoughts in his mind. After bringing Gu Yuan over, it immediately plunged into the crack in the ground next to him.

Then, he twisted his body vigorously and squeezed in in no time.

After about ten seconds, the little paper figure popped out again, then touched its head, making the same expression as someone who is embarrassed.

"Um, I forgot you're different from me. I can squeeze in, but you can't~"

Gu Yuan: ...

He'll lose face in front of Yunran and the little paper doll sooner or later.

After clearing his throat twice, Gu Yuan said, "It's alright, I'll see how to open the stone door here."

Anyway, there's still plenty of time.

All the people from the Gu God Palace were forced to kneel outside by Long Ling. Just because of Long Ling's face, no one from the Gu God Palace dared to disobey.

This made it easier for them to openly and legitimately come in and investigate the situation inside.

Their main purpose in coming was to investigate the human traffickers closely connected to the Gu God Temple. Finding them would allow them to trace the trail back to the person who had been watching them and secretly plotting against them.

At the same time, it can also provide clues to those who have gone missing from the Xuanmen sect.

As for finding the mother Gu and resolving the safety crisis on his body, that was just a 'side effect'.

The little paper figure also joined in the search, not because it couldn't smash the stone door with a single blow.

The real problem is that behind this stone door lies a temperature unique to the survival of those Gu worms; if they were to directly shatter this stone door...

If the temperature changes, the worms inside might just die.

Just like the bacteria cultivated in school labs mentioned in those short videos, they die instantly if even one indicator is slightly off.

With the help of the little paper doll, Gu Yuan quickly found the switch to the stone door, but then he saw a special piece of clothing next to it.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan put on the clothes.

From the direction of the stone gate, heavy sounds echoed.

"It's open!"

A cool sensation, along with a tingling feeling that reached his scalp, instantly spread throughout Gu Yuan's entire body.

The white mist inside the collection room surged out towards the entrance as the door was opened, carried by the airflow.

If Gu Yuan hadn't put on the clothes that were left outside and a pair of special goggles, this wave of white fog would have blinded him instantly.

The stone door closed automatically as Gu Yuan stepped into the collection room.

After a pause, Gu Yuan waited until he had adjusted to the environment before he could see the situation clearly.

The rows of neatly arranged shelves, along with the various types of worms inside the huge glass artifacts, make this place look more like a specimen laboratory.

Gu Yuanqiang suppressed his shock and looked at each row of the books.

Until his gaze fell upon a child-like figure, sitting obediently inside a glass enclosure.

Gu Yuan suddenly had a very bad feeling. At this moment, he had no mood to look for the mother Gu of the love Gu.

She walked past the other glass objects and stood before the child, whose gender she couldn't tell.

Unexpectedly, the child who was sitting obediently suddenly opened his eyes.

He glanced at Gu Yuan, who wasn't the person who usually fed him, blinked a few times, and then closed his eyes again.

"These bastards!"

Gu Yuan cursed under his breath in anger and immediately wanted to find the mechanism to open the glass cover.

This child is so young, trapped here, I wonder how terrified he must be.

The little paper doll had already looked through the entire collection room, then flew to Gu Yuan's side and tilted its head to look at him.

Curious, he asked, "Didn't you come here to find the mother Gu?"

Gu Yuan knew that the paper doll had intelligence, but at times, its thinking was still somewhat different from that of humans.

For example, nowadays, anyone with normal values ​​and a sense of reason will, if they see a child suffering, immediately try to save that child if they have the ability to do so.

But in the little paper doll's eyes, saving a child has little to do with it.

Gu Yuan's eyes darkened; he couldn't blame a magical artifact (a paper doll) for lacking empathy.

He could only patiently explain, "I can't just stand by and watch a child suffer in front of me. His safety takes precedence over the mother Gu I'm looking for!"
