Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 152 Gu Jiting, or Wu Gensheng?
On the rugged mountain road leading to western Hunan, an off-road vehicle was driving steadily.

Lu Liang and Chen Duo were sitting in the car, but at this time, their appearance had changed.

In the driver's seat, Lu Liang was driving while recalling what happened yesterday.

After receiving Shen Chong's call, he immediately rushed to Tuoshan.

When he arrived and saw Qu Tong's body for the first time, he knew it was fake.

For someone who is good at disguise, finding a corpse that can replace his or her own identity is almost as easy as pie.

Therefore, Lu Liang asked everyone to disperse and continue searching near the base.

In a dense forest five kilometers away from the base, he found Qu Tong, and the two of them came face to face.

Qu Tong's "Red Hand" has stronger recovery ability than his, but has far fewer means of attack.

So, in the end he got the upper hand, but just as he was controlling the poison needle to pierce Qu Tong's neck, Qu Tong disappeared out of thin air.

Not even a trace of her breath was left, as if she had never appeared here.

And one second before Qu Tong disappeared, Lu Liang heard her call out "Master Zhang".

Is he the powerful sorcerer who set up the Bagua Golden Lock Formation?
Although Lu Liang did not see the "Master Zhang" throughout the whole process, he had a strong premonition that the man was still nearby.

Moreover, this ability to disappear out of thin air without even leaving a trace behind was something he was very familiar with.

A name flashed through his mind, and then he blurted out:

"Are you Gu Jiting?"

After this question was asked, there was silence all around. The man called "Master Zhang" did not show up and did not respond.

Lu Liang continued, "I know you are here. You are using the 'Daluo Dongguan', right?"

There was still silence all around.

Just as Lu Liang was about to leave, a voice whose age could not be determined suddenly rang in Lu Liang's ears:

"You are not from this world, and you shouldn't disturb the cause and effect here."

Hearing these words, Lu Liang's eyes fixed, and a storm surged in his heart.

This "Master Zhang" could actually see that he had traveled through time. How did he do it?
Even the divination master Zhou Sheng couldn't figure it out, so how could this sorcerer do it?

A light bulb went off in Lu Liang's mind, and he thought of a word mentioned by the scientific research fanatic Dr. Lin when he was in the Great Love Organization - dimension.

His tests and biological indicators all matched those of the Blue Star people, but he was defined as an abnormal organism by the "Anomaly Search Map", most likely because the dimension of his soul was different from that here.

The unique skill mastered by Gu Jiting, "Daluo Dongguan", happens to be the ability to observe and manipulate dimensions.

"If I can master the Daluo Cave Observation, can I adjust myself from the perspective of dimension so that I will no longer be tracked by the Search for Strange Things?" Lu Liang couldn't help but think.

Although he has temporarily blocked the tracking of the Search for Strange Things with the "Pearl" of the Silver Hidden Star people, the people from the Great Love Organization will come looking for him sooner or later.

Moreover, it is not ruled out that they will cooperate with Nadutong in the future, which will be a big trouble for him.

Perhaps, one of the Eight Wonders, "Daluodongguan", is the key to solving the problem.

Thinking of this, Lu Liang shouted directly into the air: "Can you teach me your Daluo Cave? The conditions are negotiable."

The voice was silent for a moment, then finally said, "What you want can be achieved when you practice the Shuangquan Hand to perfection."

What can the "Shuangquanshou" do? What can it do? Is it a change in dimension?
Lu Liang's thoughts diverged along with this idea:

The "red hand" in Shuangquan's hand can heal. In essence, it speeds up the time required for the body to recover, and completes the process that originally took ten days, half a month or even half a year in just a few minutes.

The "Blue Hand" can check memories, which is actually a kind of retrospection of the past.

Lu Liang felt that he had grasped something, but he was always just a little short of it and couldn't figure it out.

He shook his head and instead of continuing to think, he shouted into the air, "How do I master the Shuangquanshou technique?"

This question has not been answered.

Lu Liang asked again: "Why did you save Qu Tong? Are you the one behind her?"

"What do you want to do with the Self-Cultivation Furnace? Did you ask Qu Tong to look up information about the Thirty-Six Thieves Sect?"

As if annoyed by Lu Liang's questions, the voice finally spoke again.

"Thirty-six people back then didn't just happen to meet up."

"The sworn brotherhood and the birth of the Eight Great Techniques... these were all inevitable, based on the dimensions of time and fate."

After hearing this, Lu Liang suddenly had an even more outrageous guess in his mind, and he asked directly:
"You are not Wu Gensheng, are you?"

After this question, no matter what Lu Liang said, there was no response at all.

……

Not long after, Shen Chong and the others came over.

Lu Liang left with doubts.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Liang went to the last base located in Lijia Village, Jincheng.

There, Gong Qing and his team found Yuan Tao and others. At this point, all the bases of Yaoxing Society were under control.

In other words, Lu Liang took over all of Yaoxing Society's assets in the country.

Except for Qu Tong and Ma Xianhong who were taken away by a mysterious man.

After settling the Quanxing and Mutual Aid Association members, Lu Liang took Chen Duo and headed directly to Xiangxi.

As soon as the news of Qu Tong's death comes out, the company will try their best to track down his whereabouts, so it is appropriate to keep a low profile recently.

Tang Clan, Lu Liang must go, but not now.

His target this time was the Qinghe Miao tribe, the original sect of Wei Shufen, one of the thirty-six thieves.

Lu Liang pondered the words left by the mysterious man. Each of the thirty-six thieves was key.

From the intelligence from Yaoxing Society, he learned that the next few days would be a big day for the Miao tribe in western Hunan.

Every three years, during the Great Heat season, they will hold a "Gu Competition" to select Gu Masters and recruit Gu Girls, and the mysterious Gu Master will also appear.

This is not only a good opportunity to gather intelligence, but also an opportunity for Chen Duo.

Chen Duo's identity might be cleared with this opportunity.

……

Lu Liang held the steering wheel with his hands, recalling information about Qinghe Village.

Qinghe Village is a remote village where almost all women practice witchcraft.

In the village, the person with the highest level of cultivation is respected as the Great Gu Master.

The great sorcerer would pass on his sorcery skills to his disciples, and thus the sorcery skills would be passed down from generation to generation.

Back then, before the story of the thirty-six sworn brothers came to light, the person that generation of great sorcerers valued the most and whom they believed was most likely to train as their successor was their disciple Wei Shufen.

Unfortunately, Wei Shufen eventually fell off a cliff and died.

The road ahead became narrower and narrower, and Lu Liang gradually collected his thoughts.

Xiangxi has always been mysterious, and the most well-known of them are the three evil spirits of Xiangxi - corpse driving, poison, and the Fallen Flower Cave Girl.

After stepping into the territory of western Hunan, Lu Liang felt an unusual atmosphere.

And now, we have finally arrived at the address of Qinghe Village recorded in the Yaoxing Society's intelligence.

The first thing that came into Lu Liang's sight was a thick purple-gray fog.

Lu Liang stopped the car.

"It's right ahead. The road is too narrow for cars to drive through. We have to walk."

Chen Duo got out of the car and looked around.

Lu Liang looked at Chen Duo beside him and asked softly, "Did you remember everything I said on the way?"

Chen Duo nodded vigorously, "My current identity is your girlfriend, your name is Zhou Liang."

"Yes, I remember it very clearly." Lu Liang gave her a thumbs up. ...

After chatting for a few more words, both of them turned their attention to the front.

At the marked location of Qinghe Village, there was a thick purple-black fog, making it impossible to see what was happening in the fog.

"Is there miasma ahead?"

As soon as Lu Liang took a step forward, he felt something was wrong.

The purple-gray fog seemed to have life, and it actually extended outward a little further and came in front of him.

His right hand itched slightly.

He looked down and found that there was a tiny dandelion-like thing attached to the little finger of his right hand, and at this moment, the "hair" was desperately drilling into the skin.

Seeing this, Lu Liang's face changed. Without hesitation, he quickly took out a dagger from his swallowing bag and cut off half of his palm without hesitation.

The palm fell to the ground, and the fluff was still wriggling in the flesh.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying scene appeared - the hair seemed to be absorbing the blood, and that half of the palm quickly became shriveled.

Seeing this scene, Lu Liang cautiously took two steps back, moving away from the thick fog.

At the same time, a red Qi flow covered the broken palm, and his right hand grew back.

Chen Duo blinked and looked at Lu Liang's palm, "Amazing..."

"Chen Duo, be careful and don't get too close to the miasma." Lu Liang reminded.

Chen Duo obediently took a step back. She looked at the shriveled severed palm on the ground, then at the purple-gray mist, and said:

"This isn't miasma, this is poisonous miasma."

"Poisonous miasma?" Lu Liang asked back in confusion.

Chen Duo nodded seriously and pointed at the purple-gray fog in front of her.

"Poisonous miasma lurks in the fog, just like dandelion hairs. If the poison burrows into the human body, it will suck the blood and flesh dry and kill the person."

"So powerful..." Lu Liang frowned, then looked up at Chen Duo and asked, "Can you remove this kind of Gu?"

"Yes." Chen Duo nodded without hesitation.

Lu Liang also nodded with satisfaction.

There are many types of poisons, and their effects are also strange and varied. Conventional methods are difficult to deal with... It was a great decision to bring Chen Duo with me this time!

Lu Liang saw that Chen Duo cut his palm with a dagger, dripped the blood into a porcelain jar he carried with him, and shook it gently.

After shaking it for a while, she sprinkled the liquid in the porcelain jar into the miasma.

Suddenly, the sharp chirping of insects was heard in the fog, and the purple-black fog actually retreated a lot.

At the same time, the fuzzy poisonous insects in the fog became clearer.

"It's a mother and child Gu." Chen Duo concluded, "Those fluffs are 'child Gu', and the real 'mother Gu' is hidden in the underground insect nest."

"To break the miasma poison, we must find the mother."

As Chen Duo explained, she squatted down and tapped the ground three times with her right fingertips. At the same time, she tilted her face to the side, put her ear to the ground, and listened attentively.

Lu Liang stood quietly by, keeping alert so that Chen Duo could concentrate on searching.

After a moment, Chen Duo stood up and pointed at a blurry tree shadow in the purple-gray mist:
"The mother Gu should be three feet below that fir tree."

After saying that, Chen Duo splashed the blood in the porcelain jar forward again. The purple-gray mist continued to dissipate, and the fir tree was completely revealed.

"Let me do it."

Lu Liang directly took out a Ruhua from the devouring sac and asked Ruhua to dig out the rotten soil at the roots of the fir tree.

After a while, a watermelon-sized insect nest appeared, which was the mother insect of the miasma poisonous insect.

The mother insect turned out to be a translucent brain-shaped tumor with a surface covered with red blood vessel-like structures and countless fine filaments attached to it.

The end of the filament is connected to the hair of the insect. When exposed to the light, the structure like a giant spider web trembles slightly.

At this moment, mucus suddenly spurted out of the mother insect, and the shovel in Ruhua's hand corroded into iron slag in the air.

After the mother Gu had almost vomited everything, Lu Liang and Chen Duo came forward.

Chen Duo was seen picking up the mother Gu with her bare hands.

Then, she hummed a tune that Lu Liang could not understand at all.

Then, the spherical mother insect suddenly burst after twitching violently. The filaments broke, and the hairs of the child insects lost their activity for a short time and fell to the ground like rotten grass.

The poisonous miasma also dissipated in an instant.

……

When the purple-gray mist completely dissipated, a voice sounded in front of Lu Liang and the others.

"How did you get in?"

"The poisonous miasma has been broken? Who are you guys?"

The speaker was a middle-aged woman wearing Miao costume. A silver necklace hung around her neck. The silver ornaments on the necklace were engraved with ancient Miao totems, which reflected a cool light under the sunlight.

Lu Liang noticed that she was holding an ancient little pottery jar in her hand, with the mouth of the jar tightly tied with a piece of red cloth.

This outfit, which was similar to Chen Duo's, made Lu Liang immediately realize that the pottery jar must contain a Gu.

It is said that the first Gu worm refined by a Gu Master will become the Natal Gu. The Natal Gu and the Gu Master are connected by blood and are interdependent.

Therefore, Gu Masters usually carry their own natal Gu with them.

Noticing Lu Liang's gaze, the middle-aged woman held the pottery jar tighter. She stared at Lu Liang and the other man with a serious and vigilant expression.

The Gu Competition is about to begin, and Qinghe Village is under martial law at this time.

The miasma and poison outside the village were set up by them in order to prevent outsiders from coming in. These two people must be very powerful to be able to break the miasma and poison.

She didn't want to conflict with them.

Therefore, the middle-aged woman did not take action, but simply said: "If you two have come here by mistake, please leave as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Lu Liang smiled and took a step forward, bowed to the middle-aged woman, and said:

"My name is Zhou Liang, and I'm also from Qinghe Village."

"Are you from the village?" The middle-aged woman frowned suspiciously. "Impossible! I've met everyone in the village, but I've never seen you before."

"This is indeed my first time in Qinghe Village, but my great-grandfather was from Qinghe Village, and the blood of Qinghe Village flows in my body."

A nostalgic expression appeared on Lu Liang's face at the right time.

"My great-grandfather's name was Zhou Quan. He was born in Qinghe Village. However, he left the village when he was 25 and never returned."

"Before he died, he told my grandfather to come to Qinghe Village to worship our ancestors."

"Over the years, due to various reasons, the trip has not been possible. We, the younger generation, are really worried."

"So this time, I came to fulfill his last wish and pay homage to my ancestors."

Seeing that the middle-aged woman looked a little confused, Lu Liang continued to remind her enthusiastically:

"Zhou Quan is the one who grew up with the Great Gu Master's apprentice Wei Shufen as a childhood sweetheart, and then left the village on his own."

When she heard the name "Wei Shufen", the middle-aged woman's expression changed and her eyes became more alert.

She looked up and down at Lu Liang and Chen Duo, and then looked at the dead miasma outside the village.

After a moment, she spoke:

"Wait here for a moment. I need to report to the Great Gu Master first."

"No problem." Lu Liang made a "please" gesture very reasonably.
