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

Chapter 154 This is the genius of witchcraft!
"The courier company I work for part-time is called 'Nadutong'. Have you heard of it?"

Luo Tiantian continued to ask in a familiar manner.

She looked at Lu Liang and Chen Duo with anticipation in her eyes. Obviously, she was quite satisfied with her part-time job.

Hearing this question, Lu Liang raised his hand and scratched his eyebrows, feeling a little complicated.

He knows everything, so he must be very familiar with it!
He is now the main target of Nadutong's pursuit.

Maybe, Luo Tiantian in front of him has received an order to hunt him down.

However, it was beyond Lu Liang's expectation that he could meet a well-informed person in such a remote mountain area in western Hunan.

It seems that he needs to be more careful when using his supernatural powers in the future.

Fortunately, for people like Luo Tiantian who use their natal Gu as a hair accessory, the smell of a rookie is overwhelming.

Lu Liang complained in his heart, but a curious expression appeared on his face. He said, "I think I've heard of it. It's said to be an official organization."

"Hehe, then you should be people in the circle too." Luo Tiantian said happily.

Lu Liang followed up on this topic and asked, "What part-time job do you do at Narutotong?"

Luo Tiantian immediately revealed a mysterious expression and asked in a low voice:
"Do you know what Nadutong's usual job tasks are?"

"kill."

Before Luo Tiantian could put her plan of asking and answering questions to show off into action, Chen Duo, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Luo Tiantian was stunned. "I'm talking about daily work that goes everywhere."

Chen Duo continued to nod confidently, "That's right, track the target of the mission and kill them."

"That seems to be true, but most of the time my job is to maintain stability."

As Luo Tiantian explained, she looked at Chen Duo curiously and asked casually:
"Xiaoduo, why do I feel like... you're very familiar with everywhere?"

Seeing that the two were talking more and more off-topic, Lu Liang quickly interrupted their conversation and shifted the topic back to Luo Tiantian.

"Tiantian, are you coming back to the village to participate in the competition this time?"

"Yeah." Luo Tiantian nodded and stuck out her tongue. "My mom insisted I come."

"Do you want to be a Gu Master?" Lu Liang asked.

Luo Tiantian stretched out her finger and shook it.

"To be precise, it's a Gu doctor."

"My father is a doctor, and I've wanted to be one since I was little. However, my mother secretly taught me witchcraft since I was little."

"She told me that Gu is not a witchcraft that harms people."

"Gu is just a method. It can harm or save people. Good or evil only depends on the mind of the person who casts the spell."

"So, I want to become a Gu doctor who can heal illnesses and save lives, preferably one that can combine clinical medicine and Gu techniques, hehe."

"My mother asked me to come here, but I'm also very interested in the reward this time."

Lu Liang nodded slightly and asked, "Then do you know what the main content of today's Gu competition is?"

"Ah, you come to participate in the competition without knowing anything." Luo Tiantian said in surprise.

"Well...my mother actually told me something."

She raised her hand and pointed at the slightly gloomy sky.

"The competition, held every three years, is always held during the Great Heat season because the Earth Dragon King's poison is at its most potent around this time."

"Look at the sky today, isn't it going to rain soon? After the rain stops, the Earth Dragon King will definitely come out."

"So, the final stage of every Gu Competition is fixed, and that is to subdue the Earth Dragon King."

"However, the first two levels may not be the same."

Just as the three were talking about the game, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Lu Liang looked up and saw that it was the great Gu Master coming over.

There were two people standing next to the great sorcerer.

One of them was the middle-aged woman who stopped Lu Liang and Chen Duo at the village entrance yesterday. Her name was Zhang Ayun.

At this time, Zhang Ayun was pointing at Luo Tiantian and introducing her to the Gu Master, "Grandma, that's Luo's daughter."

"A Luo was probably around this age when she left the village. In the blink of an eye, her daughter has grown up this big." The great sorcerer showed an expression of emotion.

"Well, she married an ordinary man and usually works as a supermarket cashier, but she has never stopped searching for the Qinghe Gu Zhong privately. Now, her daughter has taken over her burden."

"Today, I just want to see how well she has taught her daughter."

Hearing this, the person standing on the other side of the Great Gu Master spoke.

She had a serious expression, a black crown on her head, and silver earrings hanging from her ears, which swayed slightly as she walked.

She looked at Zhang Ayun and said:

"Ayun, the daughter you've raised must be quite good. Maybe she'll be able to successfully win the championship today."

Zhang Ayun laughed and said, "The person that the Great Gu Master favors the most is not my Xiaoyou, but someone else."

"Another one? Who else in the village can be comparable to Xiaoyou?"

Zhang Ayun raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Lu Liang and Chen Duo.

"Zhou Quan's great-grandson's girlfriend. She broke the miasma poison I set up yesterday."

"Oh? So amazing! I'd like to take a closer look today."

Lü Liang, who listened to these conversations, quickly figured out the relationship at hand.

The current chief Gu Master is named Luo Shuning, and she is Wei Shufen’s junior sister.

She has three apprentices.

One is Zhang Ayun, a middle-aged woman who brought Lu Liang into the village. Her daughter is named Zhang Youyou, who is a strong competitor of Chen Duo.

The other apprentice was named Luo Yufang, who was Luo Tiantian's mother.

There was another one, a middle-aged woman with a serious expression and wearing a black hair crown, her name was Wei Yuxiang.

At this moment, Wei Yuxiang took a step forward, raised her hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone present to be quiet.

"This time, there are eight candidates participating in the Gu Competition."

"They are Zhang Youyou, Luo Tiantian, Liao Duo, and Wei Zhilan..."

"The top three players in the first round will qualify for the next two rounds."

"And the person who ultimately wins will be taught the most core aspects of Qinghe Gu Shu by the Grand Gu Master himself."

As she finished speaking, the surrounding discussions became louder.

Just then, a girl in Miao costume walked towards Chen Duo.

She did not wear a silver crown, but her embroidered skirt was hung with silver ornaments that jingled as she walked.

Her skin was dark, and her eyes revealed wildness and confidence. She said to Chen Duo:
"Humph! Even though my mother said you're very powerful, I will definitely win!"

……

Soon, a long table was placed on the open space, on which ten small pottery jars were lined up in a row.

Wei Yuxiang introduced the rules of the game to the eight people on the field:

"There are ten different kinds of poisonous insects placed in the earthenware jars on the table."

"You have one stick of incense to identify the types of these poisonous insects."

"The person who recognizes the most in the end wins. If the accuracy rates are the same, the one with the shorter time wins."

In Lu Liang's view, those were all insects that made one's scalp tingle, but in the eyes of those who practiced witchcraft, they seemed very unusual.

The onlookers around were discussing in low voices.

Lu Liang turned his attention to the three people.

The dark-skinned girl Zhang Youyou quickly stepped forward, bent down, gently opened the lid of the earthen jar, and observed it carefully.

She looked up from time to time to pay attention to Chen Duo's progress.

When the incense stick was halfway burned, she was the first to hand in her answer, with pride in her eyes.

Chen Duo's expression remained indifferent. When he checked the last earthen jar, he actually reached his hand in.

This action left everyone else dumbfounded.

However, Chen Duo took it out quickly and submitted the answer sheet.

Unlike the first two who were very skilled, Luo Tiantian was scratching her head the whole time.

She picked up a jar and sniffed it, trying to identify the type of insect from the smell, but the pungent smell irritated her and made her sneeze several times.

Afterwards, she kept muttering to herself while sticking her head out to observe the poisonous insects in the jar.

After hearing what she was muttering, Lu Liang couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Because Luo Tiantian was actually talking to the spider on her shoulder.

"Victoria, what are these mushroom-like insects called?"

"How come you don't even know him..."

"When mom asked me to learn about Gu insects, what were you doing?"

For a moment, Lu Liang felt that the spider's big eyes seemed to reveal silence.

……

When the incense was about to burn out, Luo Tiantian finally handed in her answer.

Wei Yuxiang, who was in charge of hosting the competition, stepped forward immediately.

She looked at the answer sheets in her hands and announced the scores of each student one by one.

"...Next up, the top three from the first round will be announced."

"Luo Tiantian, you got 7 correct answers!"

"Yeah!" Luo Tiantian shouted happily.

Wei Yuxiang glanced at Luo Tiantian, then turned her gaze to the dark-skinned girl Zhang Youyou.

"Zhang Youyou, 9 types!"

"How is this possible! I recognized them all." Zhang Youyou shouted suddenly.

"You made a mistake in the last one." "Impossible." Zhang Youyou raised her head slightly and argued confidently.

"The last earthenware jar contains a poisonous insect, formed by long, poisonous insects devouring each other. Its entire body is golden like a silkworm, and its venom will glow when it comes into contact with silver."

"This is clearly the golden silkworm Gu!"

"What do you think?" Wei Yuxiang looked at Chen Duo.

Chen Duo glanced at the clay pot at the end and replied:
"That's Qilin Gu."

When Zhang Youyou heard this name, her expression froze.

The Qilin Gu is indeed very similar to the Golden Silkworm Gu, but that Gu worm completely matches the appearance characteristics of the Golden Silkworm Gu.

She raised her chin in dissatisfaction and looked at Chen Duo angrily:
"Why do you say it's Qilin Gu?"

Chen Duo patiently explained, "The toxicity of the Golden Silkworm Gu focuses on nerve paralysis, while the Qilin Gu mainly corrodes the internal organs."

She waved her hand, "I just tried it, and it hurts my heart when it bites me."

Hearing this, the others showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

No wonder Chen Duo put his hand in at that time, it turned out to be to test the toxicity.

However, this approach is too risky.

Moreover, seeing that she was in normal condition, was there something special about her blood that could resist the toxicity of the Qilin Gu?
Wei Yuxiang nodded slightly.

"When Qilin Gu comes into contact with the air, it will have a faint smell of sulfur."

"And it also secreted venom crystals under the jar."

"In our Qinghe Village, there is also a unique way to identify them, which is to check their venom crystals."

"The venom of the Golden Silkworm Gu crystallizes into hexagonal prisms, while the venom of the Qilin Gu forms a honeycomb shape. Remember this from now on."

Chen Duo nodded obediently, while the dark-skinned girl pursed her lips tightly, with a look of unwillingness in her eyes.

The carefree Luo Tiantian gently patted Spider's head and warned, "Victoria, remember this."

Wei Yuxiang's eyes swept over the three of them and continued to announce the results of the first level.

"Liao Duo, you got 10 correct!"

"The top three in this round are: Liao Duo, Zhang Youyou, and Luo Tiantian. You will enter the second round of competition."

……

After the clay pots were removed, the gap was used to set up the venue for the second level.

Luo Tiantian came up to Chen Duo and said with admiration: "Xiao Duo, you are so amazing."

"You seem younger than me, yet you know so many Gu insects. When did you first start learning Gu magic?"

"Since birth." Chen Duo answered honestly.

"Haha, you're so humorous."

"How could a person be exposed to Gu magic from birth? Could it be that you are a born Gu-body Saint Child?"

Chen Duo nodded, looking slightly surprised, and asked, "How did you know?"

This rhetorical question left Luo Tiantian dumbfounded.

She blinked and looked at Chen Duo.

Is this how geniuses talk? How cute!

On the side, Zhang Youyou, who heard the conversation between the two, gritted his teeth and his eyes were filled with anger.

It's really humiliating to her that they can make up such nonsense.

Her dark skin flushed red.

He shook his fist vigorously at Chen Duo and snorted, "You're just lucky. I'll definitely win the next round!"

……

Soon we reached the second level.

Wei Axiang spoke again: "This level is about your ability to remove the poison."

"The three cats before you are all poisoned. Draw lots to choose one."

"Within one stick of incense, you must identify the corresponding poison in them and find a solution."

When Luo Tiantian heard the content of the competition, her eyes lit up.

"It's for detoxification. I like this."

Lu Liang noticed that the three cats were in different conditions, but all of them were obviously abnormal, which should be the reaction to the poison.

Zhang Youyou drew a white cat, which was already in a coma.

After checking, a look of joy appeared on her face.

Because this kitten was infected with the golden silkworm Gu.

Similar to poisonous weeds, Gu also has the effect of promoting and restraining each other.

When the golden silkworm Gu encounters the special enzymes secreted by the centipede Gu, its armor shell will be dissolved and the golden silkworm toxin will be neutralized.

She immediately took out a small cloth bag from her waist, took out a dried centipede from it, quickly ground it into powder, and took out a vine-like object and put it in to grind together.

She then added water to the ground powder and fed it to the kitten.

The kitten successfully woke up and meowed.

Zhang Youyou's gaze immediately turned to Luo Tiantian and Chen Duo beside her.

The calico cat that Luo Tiantian drew was twitching slightly.

She crouched down and examined it: "Hey, this thing under the skin looks like snake scales."

"Snake scale patterns... that means it might be Yin Snake Gu... well, it could also be Sheng Snake Gu."

"However, the essence of snake poison is still snake venom."

"My chemistry knowledge tells me that the arsenic sulfide in realgar evaporates when exposed to air and combines with the sulfur bonds in the DNA formed by the snake poison, deactivating it!"

Luo Tiantian happily shouted to the crowd, "Who can lend me some realgar?"

"thank you."

Just as the kitten in front of Luo Tiantian stood up staggeringly and stopped twitching.

Chen Duo continued to just stroke the black cat in front of him without making any other moves.

The black cat walked crookedly as usual.

"It looks like an epilepsy poison, but it's too difficult to cure it!"

Next to Lu Liang, some people were talking.

"Yeah, it's definitely over."

"Who made her draw this one? Luck is also a part of strength."

"I think the final winner must be Ayou."

"A Luo's daughter was cured quite well. Although the method was not quite in line with the Gu Master's method, the cat was indeed cured."

Seeing that the incense stick was about to burn out, Wei Yuxiang asked Chen Duo:
"Liao Duo, do you want to give up?"

Chen Duo looked up in confusion, "I'm already cured."

"Cure?"

Wei Yuxiang went forward to check, and then her eyes suddenly widened.

The poison in the black cat had indeed been removed, and even the original poison had been eliminated.

The reason why it still wobbles is simply because it is too comfortable.

"What did you do?" Wei Yuxiang asked in shock. "How did you do it?"

Chen Duo shook the pottery jar hanging on her waist and showed her index finger with a small cut on it.

"Use your natal Gu."

Although after the treatment, Chen Duo's body could no longer produce the original Gu, her blood was still somewhat different.

The natal Gu that feeds on blood is the nemesis of almost all Gu.

Lu Liang remembered that Chen Duo had driven away the miasma and poison outside the village yesterday in this way.

The discussions around started again, but the attitude of the discussion had changed greatly.

"It can even restrain the epilepsy Gu. This girl's natal Gu is too overbearing."

"Yeah, I haven't seen such a powerful natal Gu in years."

"Hey, I wish she were my daughter..."

"Is the Zhou family's ancestors really lucky? They actually found such a powerful wife..."

Amidst the lively discussion, Wei Yuxiang examined the three cats one by one and then announced:
"Judging from the recovery situation..."

"The rankings for the second round are still Liao Duo, Zhang Youyou, and Luo Tiantian."

……

"Next, it's the third level."

"This level has a time limit of one day. Whoever subdues the Earth Dragon King will win."

The venue of the competition was actually a cliff.

The sky grew darker and darker, and in the afternoon, raindrops as big as beans finally fell.

The three of them climbed up the cliff together.

The Earth Dragon King was completely different from any poisonous insect Lu Liang had seen before, as it was actually two meters long.

It is about the thickness of a bowl and is covered with dense barbs all over.

As soon as it appeared, it attacked Chen Duo directly at an extremely fast speed.

"careful!"
