Chapter 109 Danger
Legend has it that the great ancestor's skill in Gu was superb. Not only was he proficient in this skill, he also wrote down his secret technique for future generations to learn. Many Gu masters, if they did not master the skill well, would even die from the Gu worms they had made.
This ancestor's secret technique not only solved these problems one by one, but also summarized different methods for dealing with different types of poisonous insects.
After his death, his descendants built this temple in his memory. It is said that whenever a Gu practitioner encounters a Gu that is difficult to make, he can go to the temple to worship and get inspiration.
The temple was said to be sacred and its popularity grew, even attracting people from nearby villages to come and worship.
But later people found that the witches who practiced witchcraft in the temple usually did not live for more than three years, and gradually no one went there anymore.
Later the temple was completely abandoned, but it gave rise to another legend.
The god of the Gu Temple is not a righteous god but an evil god. He failed to make Gu, so he made a name for himself through evil magic. He asked people in the village to build a temple for him so that he could enjoy the incense from the world, but he used people's wishes to achieve his own unspeakable goals.
"That's the way it is..."
Li Xiaohong looked at Qin Yi and the others and explained the reason for the Gu Temple.
Qin Yi had a hunch that Su Wan’s disappearance was closely related to the Gu Temple.
Considering the various ways that Zheng Qing had put a curse on Su Wan, Qin Yi turned around and left without a second thought.
Several people looked at Qin Yi's solemn expression and inexplicably felt the pressure was low. He looked at Li Xiaohong: "Thank you, Sister Xiaohong, let's go and take a look."
An hour has passed now. The village is so small. If Su Wan and the others had not encountered any danger, they should have returned long ago.
Lin Changchun hurriedly followed, "Lao Qin, wait for me."
Cui Zhengming followed behind. Li Xiaohong stood at the door and looked at them with a serious expression on her face. After thinking for a while, she turned around and went home.
Qin Yi walked almost as fast as flying and arrived at the Gu Temple as quickly as possible. To their surprise, the dilapidated gate of the Gu Temple was still closed and not locked. Perhaps because of the age, the lock had long been missing, or perhaps the people here were taboo to come here and did not lock the door at all.
Qin Yi pushed open the door. It was called the Gu God Temple, but it was actually just a small house with a Buddhist shrine, a table, and a few worn-out chairs that could no longer be sat on. You could almost see the bottom at a glance.
There is a clay statue on the table. It is very old and no one has repaired it, so a lot of the clay has fallen off and it is now incomplete.
Qin Yi walked around the simple little temple but couldn't find any place where people could hide. He looked at this place which couldn't be simpler and didn't take it lightly. Instead, he carefully observed every detail.
Lin Changchun and Cui Zhengming were also observing inside, trying to find out if there was anything unusual here, so as to find clues about Su Wan and the others.
The few of them searched silently for ten minutes without saying anything, but still found nothing. Lin Changchun looked at the statue with only half of its face left, revealing a half smile: "Gu God, you are a god, can you see who just came in here?"
He has always been a brave man. As he spoke, he walked forward and was about to pat the clay sculpture's body. Then he said "Eh!" and lowered his head and moved closer.
Qin Yi and Cui Zhengming quickly surrounded it. Qin Yi stared at the clay sculpture. There was a small area on the left arm of the clay sculpture where there was no dust. This was contrary to common sense. Other places were covered with dust, so why was there no dust in this area?
Even if someone sneaked in to clean, they would have left footprints, instead of leaving no trace at all like now.
The less traces there are, the more suspicious it becomes.
This shows that someone deliberately erased the traces so that they could not find out.
Qin Yi stretched out his hand and pressed the dust-free clay sculpture's arm. He applied a little force and heard a "creak!". The clay sculpture's body slowly turned to the side. As the clay sculpture turned, a hole big enough to accommodate a person appeared in the place where the clay sculpture had originally been.
There were layers of steps below the cave entrance, and it was almost pitch dark now, and it was so dark below that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Lin Changchun and Cui Zhengming came over, and Cui Zhengming looked down warily.
Lin Changchun opened his eyes wide, "What kind of Gu God is this? He's really playing tricks. Why doesn't he live well up there? He has to live underground." Qin Yi glanced at Cui Zhengming and said, "Mr. Cui, you stay up there. Changchun and I will go down and take a look."
Cui Zhengming glanced at the two of them hesitantly and said, "It seems that no one will come here. I'd better go down with you. If Wan Yatou has any problems, I can help her."
Qin Yi nodded, took out the flashlight he carried with him, leaned over and walked down the stairs.
Cui Zhengming, who is older, walked in the middle, and Lin Changchun was at the rear.
The three of them held flashlights and walked down carefully. When they reached the end of the stairs, they discovered that there was a different world here. There were tables and chairs, and there was a faint sound of water in the air, as if someone had lived here before.
The three of them looked at each other and walked forward at the same time. After turning around a stone chamber, Qin Yi, who was leading the way, discovered that there was actually a larger storage room here.
There are more things here, including books, a lot of books. Qin Yi then picked one up and read through them. There were books about poisonous insects, about medical skills, the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as rare books that are not often seen on the market.
The place is very clean, as if someone lives here and the owner is a clean person.
When Cui Zhengming saw these books, he was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. He muttered to himself absentmindedly: "Too amazing, too damn amazing. These prescriptions have been lost. If they can be spread out, how many people will benefit...!"
For doctors, they certainly don't want a prescription that can benefit the world to be forgotten. However, the transmission of each school of thought will basically experience interruptions. Take people today for example. Medical conditions are not yet well developed. When people get sick, they often endure it themselves. Because seeing a doctor costs money, they often just endure it and the disease goes away.
There were also elderly people who couldn't bear it and just passed away.
If these prescriptions can be spread, it will definitely be a great merit that benefits the world.
Lin Changchun also smacked his lips, "Oh my goodness, could it really be that the Gu God lives here?"
The number and completeness of the collection of books here exceeded their expectations.
Qin Yi agreed that no matter whether it was the Gu God or not, an extraordinary person had once lived here.
There was still a way to go ahead. After sighing, a few people were about to move on, but they heard a cold laugh.
Several people looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from, but did not see anyone.
"Want to know where your people are? Go forward."
The expressions of several people changed, and Cui Zhengming's expression was even more fierce. He said coldly: "Zhengqing, what do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. I just want this little girl Su Wan to exchange something."
"Zhengqing, you overestimate yourself."
"Haha, Brother, you will know if you overestimate yourself when you come here."
Zhengqing's voice was arrogant and presumptuous.
It is indeed Zhengqing!
Qin Yi walked forward with a blank expression. Su Wan was in Zheng Qing's hands, which meant that the others were also there.
good night.
