Chapter 115 Heart-stealing Gu

Gu Chudong asked in confusion, "No wonder you all kept silent after being beaten just now. I thought you were all tough guys!"

Liu Zhengyun and others looked bitter.

Gu Chudong asked again, "But, if you tell us the truth now, aren't you afraid of making mistakes? Didn't you say that the starving ghosts and the hanged ghosts can use poisonous insects to kill people from a distance?"

"Of course I am afraid, how could I not be afraid?" Liu Zhengyun said helplessly, "It's just that, after thinking about it over and over again, I always feel guilty, so I decided to take a gamble. Moreover, the most important reason is that we don't trust those starving ghosts and the hanged ghosts to keep their promise to remove the poison for us. It's better to take a gamble that Hero Gu can save us!"

"I'll try."

Gu Mo immediately stretched out his hand and placed it on Liu Zhengyun's shoulder. A stream of true energy immediately flowed along the Zhenwai Qi acupoint into Liu Zhengyun's eight extraordinary meridians. Soon, he noticed that there was a worm the size of a rice grain in Liu Zhengyun's jejunum.

"There really is a poisonous insect." Gu Mo said.

Liu Zhengyun hurriedly asked, "Master Gu, you are a master of martial arts, but... is there any way to save my life?"

Gu Mo said slowly, "The location of this Gu worm is very strange. If you don't have enough power, you won't be able to find it, let alone remove it. The jejunum is fragile. Once the Gu worm senses something is wrong, it will immediately penetrate the intestinal skin. It only takes a moment to penetrate the intestine, and within two breaths, it can sever the intestines. It is difficult to cure with medicine."

Liu Zhengyun's face turned pale.

"However," Gu Mo continued, "I do have two ways to cure this poisonous insect. The first method requires a certain amount of time. Find a skilled doctor, who will, under my guidance, prick the acupuncture points with silver needles and then use internal energy to drive the poisonous insect out through the intestines. This method is complicated and time-consuming, but the advantage is that you don't have to suffer.

The second option is for me to directly wrap the Gu worm with either Extreme Cold Qi or Extreme Yang Qi to kill it. This process is quick and can be done right now, but it will be painful for you. If I use Extreme Cold Qi, it will freeze your intestines for a while, and if I use Extreme Yang Qi, your intestines will feel like they're on fire!"

Liu Zhengyun and the others breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could be saved, it would be fine.

"I prefer the second option," Liu Zhengyun said, "but I'm worried that wasting my energy for us might have an impact on you, Master Gu."

"It doesn't consume much true energy." Gu Mo said.

"Then, I beg Master Gu to save my life now," Liu Zhengyun said. "Although the first method is painless, I am really scared of being tortured by the poisonous insects. If I wait even a day longer, I will feel that this life is not mine."

The other four people also made the same choice as Liu Zhengyun.

Of course, they must have had some thoughts in their minds, that is, if Gu Mo failed to kill the starving ghost and the hanged ghost, they might be killed directly by the two of them out of anger, so now that they have gotten rid of the poisonous insect, even if Gu Mo's action fails, they can still save their lives.

Gu Mo also knew what they were planning, so he immediately started killing the poisonous insects for them.

He had just checked the poisonous insect. The Ice Qi supplemented by the Jade Qi could kill it easily, and the Flame Yang Qi could also kill it.

Immediately,

Gu Mo then began to kill the Gu.

It took five people less than a cup of tea to complete the task.

Several of them were biting cloth in their mouths, holding their stomachs and rolling on the ground in pain, sweating profusely, but they dared not make a sound, for fear that the spies in the garden would notice something unusual and inform the two villains.

After a while,
Several people gradually recovered.

Gu Mo immediately picked up Liu Zhengyun and flew out of the manor, with Gu Chudong following closely behind. With their lightness skills, no one would notice them at all.

Soon, under the guidance of Liu Zhengyun, they arrived at a mansion in the south city.

Gu Mo carried Liu Zhengyun and gently floated onto a roof. Then, Gu Chudong also flew over.

Liu Zhengyun pointed to a house in front and said softly, "Master Gu, before, the starving ghost and the hanged ghost were in that house, and no one was allowed to enter. But I don't know if it's still there."

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "Now it's in the room below us."

Liu Zhengyun was shocked.

Gu Mo was not talking nonsense. When he was just outside the yard, he had heard people talking in the room. From their words, he could tell that they were the starving ghost and the hanged ghost.

Gu Chudong gently removed a tile and looked down, and suddenly a surge of anger rushed to his head.

The house was like hell on earth at this moment.

In the middle was a pool of blood about ten feet long and wide. Above them were more than a dozen naked women with their hands tied and hanging from the beams. Each of them had a cut on her heart, and blood was constantly flowing out, dripping into the pool of blood below.

And in that pool of blood, the bodies of naked women were floating in it.

Next to the blood pool, there were two fires burning in two large cauldrons, in which medicinal soup was boiling hot.

There were two people in the room. One of them was extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. He was wearing a tattered black robe full of stains and holes, which hung loosely on his body. There was a very iconic rope hanging around his neck. He was the hanged man.

The other man was skinny and hunched, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. His clothes hung loosely on his body like tattered pieces of linen. He was consumed by hunger and only a bag of bones remained. There was a big bucket of food in front of him, and he was constantly devouring it, just like the legendary starving ghost.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat, eat, eat! How come you haven't eaten yourself to death, you bastard!"

The hanged ghost, holding a huge spoon in his hand, kept stirring the boiling pot and said unhappily, "You eat it every day while I'm working so hard to make the medicine. I'm the one who catches people, can't you come and help me?"

The starving ghost looked up at the hanged ghost, said nothing, and continued to eat.

The hanged ghost said angrily, "Tonight is the last night. The Heart-Robbing Gu is about to succeed. Can you please be more careful?"

The starving ghost muttered, "To make the Heart Robbery Gu, you need to start refining it at midnight when the Yin energy is at its heaviest. It's still early, why are you in such a hurry? Wait until I'm full!"

The hanged ghost was so angry that he picked up a soup spoon and smashed it on the starving ghost's head, shouting angrily: "I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard! Can't you finish it earlier? Don't you know what time it is now? That damn blind man Gu has come to Pinggu County. We have to run away tonight, don't you know? Damn it, when I see the boss, I will definitely report you..."

As they were talking, the hanged ghost suddenly felt something was wrong, because the starving ghost didn't move or speak, and just kept his head down and motionless.

"Hey," the hanged ghost said softly, "Seventh Brother, I'm not going to kill you if I hit you like this..."

At this point, the hanged ghost stopped talking, because he saw the starving ghost sitting on the ground with blood coming out of the back of his head.

He was suddenly startled and muttered, "He's not really beaten to death, is he?"

He hurriedly dropped the soup spoon, stretched out his bony hands with black nails, and tremblingly pulled apart the starving ghost's messy hair that smelled sour.

In an instant, his already pale face turned even more terrifying, like adding insult to injury. On the back of the starving ghost's head, there was a bloody hole the size of a corn kernel.

"How...how could this be done so quietly?" The Hanged Ghost was horrified, realizing that a hidden weapon expert had lurked here, taking the Starving Ghost's life right before his very nose, all without his knowledge. Terror instantly washed over him like a tide, and he dared not delay even a moment. Without hesitation, he flashed, smashing through the window like a ghost, and escaping into the night. His speed was so swift that it stirred a sinister gust of wind, making him look like a demon from the underworld.

However, just as he stepped out of the window, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his neck suddenly tightened and a suffocating feeling instantly hit him. He subconsciously reached out to grab it, but touched the familiar rough rope - the tool he used to scare people, now it had become a deadly weapon.

The hanged man grabbed the rope with both hands. The rope was obviously an ordinary rope, but at this moment, it seemed extremely hard and he couldn't break it.

He struggled desperately, kicking his legs and pulling at the rope with both hands, his face flushed red, but the rope kept tightening. He looked up, filled with panic, and saw several figures standing on the roof. Terrified, he made a gurgling sound in his throat and stammered, "Gu... Gu Mo..."

"Where is the ghost?" Gu Mo said calmly: "If you tell me the whereabouts of the ghost, I can consider sparing your life."

"The accomplices are here..."

When the hanged ghost said this, his pupils suddenly widened, and his eyes suddenly exploded and shattered. Two insects flew out of his pupils, and then instantly burned and turned into ashes.

"This is..." Gu Chudong was shocked.

Gu Mo said in a deep voice, "He must have been poisoned by some kind of insect. He can't tell anyone about the ghosts. Once he opens his mouth, the mechanism will be triggered."

Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "Isn't he one of the ghost's subordinates?"

"Then, is it possible that it was because of this Gu that the hanged ghost became the ghost's subordinate?" Gu Mo said.

Gu Chudong suddenly realized, then flew down and began to examine the body of the hanged ghost. Afterwards, Gu Mo also checked it himself and found no other abnormalities. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked Gu Chudong to cut off the head.

Afterwards, after Gu Chudong installed the head, he quickly pushed open the door and entered the room.

What caught my eye were a dozen naked women hanging on a pool of blood.

In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Zhengyun immediately turned his head away.

Gu Chudong quickly swung her sword to cut the ropes and rescued the dozen people. However, when she checked, her face was very grim. She said, "Brother, all of them have had their hearts opened. They are already dead. I don't know how they were used, but their hearts are still beating and they are bleeding. There is no way to save them!"

Gu Mo investigated for a moment and said, "It should be that some special medicine is used to stimulate the heart and keep it active."

"Heart-robbing Gu!"

Suddenly, Liu Zhengyun shouted, "Hero Gu, Miss Gu, there is a book here."

Gu Chudong hurried over and saw Liu Zhengyun taking out a book from a small box. It was a handwritten copy, and it looked very new, probably having been copied not long ago.

She glanced through it briefly and explained to Gu Mo, "This record describes the cultivation method of a type of Heart Robbery Gu. It requires the collection of eighty-nine hundred and seventy-two virgin heart bloods, combined with various medicines, using the virgin blood as the lead and the virgin body as the vessel. It is then refined at midnight, when the Yin energy is at its heaviest. After twelve days of cultivation, many Gu worms will be produced, an indeterminate number. On the last day, the Gu worms are allowed to devour each other, and the last one that is successfully cultivated is the Heart Robbery Gu. As for the function of this Heart Robbery Gu, there is no record of it."

At this moment, looking at the corpses rising and falling in the blood pool, several people sighed. No wonder those corpses were rising and falling. They were probably eaten by the poisonous insects and only the outer surface was left.

Gu Mo picked up the handwritten copy of the Heart Robbery Gu and said, "This thing is evil and harmful, so I won't spread it around."

Gu Mo shook the manuscript slightly, and it instantly caught fire and soon turned into ashes.

Liu Zhengyun searched the room left and right, and finally found a palm-sized drum in a backpack. He said, "This is it. The starving ghost used this thing to control the Gu worm. But I dare not destroy it. This Gu worm is too evil. Who knows if this drum is broken, will it cause harm to the person who was infected with the Gu?"

Gu Mo said, "Give this thing to me first. After I go back, I will write a letter and you will arrange for someone to deliver it to Qiandeng Town and give it to the Canglan Sword Sect as soon as possible. They will arrange for someone who knows Gu Shu to handle the follow-up issues."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu!" Liu Zhengyun said hurriedly.

Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "I'll leave the matters here to you. As for those poisonous insects, there's no one controlling them, and they're still semi-finished. They're no different from ordinary poisonous insects. You should be able to deal with them."

Liu Zhengyun immediately bowed and said, "I'll go get someone to deal with things here now."

After Liu Zhengyun said this, he ran out quickly.

Gu Chudong took a sword and cut off the heads of the starving ghosts.

Just like the corpse of a hanged ghost, the starving ghost died first, but his eyeballs still exploded, and there were two balls of flying ashes in front of his eyes. It was obvious that some poisonous insects crawled out of his eyes and burned themselves after his death.

After installing the heads, Gu Chudong tore down the curtains in the house to cover the bodies of the dozen or so women, trying his best to give them a little dignity.

Then, the brother and sister flew away from the house.

The two figures shuttled through the city, passing through the streets and alleys like ghosts, sometimes flying over high pavilions, sometimes lightly touching the roofs, as fast as lightning, but silently.

The shops on the street had already closed down, and the occasional barking of dogs was swallowed up by the vast snowy night.

"Brother, my finger-snapping ability has improved a lot, hasn't it? Look, that starving ghost just now didn't even have time to react before I killed him with a steel ball."

"Well, that's quite a big improvement."

"You are so perfunctory!"

"Ah."

"Those girls were so pitiful. They must have died in agony. They were still in their prime, yet they were murdered by someone else!"

Gu Mo sighed slightly. This kind of thing is just the tip of the iceberg for the evil ways in the martial arts world.

Gu Chudong also sighed and stopped talking. The two of them flew quickly back to Liu Garden under the moonlight.

Gu Mo opened the system while flying:
