The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 182 A Bountiful Harvest and Concealing One's Fate

Everything in sight became distorted.

Lines of golden words appeared in front of Li Zhen.

[You solved the paranormal case that Huang Huotu encountered, dispelling his fear and helping him emerge from his gloom. Within three days, you uncovered the underlying cause of the paranormal events and prevented the murder case from escalating.]

[You successfully rescued Yuan Zhenxia, ​​eliminated the ancestor of the Gu Clan, and completely annihilated the Gu Clan, causing its name to disappear from the South Seas.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the body of the Gu Clan's ancestor from the world of "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley". The Gu Clan's ancestor was created by the Gu Clan's ancestor who cultivated witchcraft on his deathbed. Over two hundred years, he consumed countless Gu Clan blood and flesh, developing a nearly immortal and demonic body. Now, the Gu Clan's ancestor's consciousness has been completely extinguished, leaving only his body and instincts.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the secret Feng Shui technique from the world of "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley". This technique comes from Wesley's father, Wei Tianxuan, and the Ruan family, and has some reference value.]

[Congratulations! You have acquired a special Feng Shui secret technique from the world of "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley". This technique contains the wisdom of many Feng Shui masters in the world of "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley". It is a series of solutions summarized by many Feng Shui masters in order to solve a specific problem, combining their own experience and knowledge. It encompasses the wisdom of various Feng Shui traditions in the world and may have a miraculous effect on solving the problem.]

[Congratulations! You have acquired a little devil from the world of "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley". This little devil was created by the High Priest of the Gu Clan using a special secret method. Every three years, it needs to consume a large amount of infant blood. It is violent and bloodthirsty, and will turn against its master if its thirst for blood is not satisfied.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained insect eggs from the world of "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley". These insect eggs were cultivated by the high priest of the Gu clan and are used as materials to activate the Black Heart Gu. Once planted on a human body, they will quickly hatch and produce more eggs in the blink of an eye until they devour the person completely.]

Li Zhen's gaze swept over the explanation of the Gu clan's ancestor's body, lingering a moment longer on the word "demonic."

The Gu Clan's ancestor was already very weak, so when Li Zhen left the Gu Clan's ancestral land, he left the ancestor behind the car.

Although the Gu Clan ancestor wasn't exposed to direct sunlight, he didn't last long before his consciousness, sealed by Li Zhen, was extinguished.

Now it seems that the body of this Gu clan ancestor is indeed somewhat special...

Li Zhen shifted his gaze and looked down.

Does everything that happens within the merged world count as something that happens in the world of "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley"?

The text only mentions "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley" and not "Wesley: The Overlord's Armor Removal", so that's the only interpretation.

Li Zhen wasn't too surprised, but what surprised him was the following explanation.

The information on feng shui and geomancy that he asked Ruan Wenhu for was somewhat beyond his expectations. Fu Wen described the information as having "some reference value" when explaining it.

This evaluation might seem a bit lowbrow, but compared to other things, these materials weren't categorized as miscellaneous and were placed above several other items. Judging from the default rules for rune generation evaluation, those books are indeed quite valuable.

These books on feng shui from Wesley's father may have come from a special lineage...

Although Li Zhen had acquired some memories related to feng shui and geomancy, he was far from being an expert in this field.

Before burying himself, Li Zhen carefully studied the memories from Fang Zhongxin and gained a lot of knowledge about divination and feng shui.

However, that knowledge, like memory, is incomplete.

As for other things, even if they are incomplete, Li Zhen can roughly fill in the gaps in his memory based on logic.

However, he didn't have much of a foundation in this area, so it was impossible for him to make up for it. Therefore, the more he looked at certain parts, the more confused he became.

These books are just right for Li Zhen now.

By focusing on these books, he can simultaneously study the art of feng shui and geomancy, digest the memories in his mind, and rapidly improve his skills in the field.

He had been searching for a suitable lineage to inherit, and the one he had now obtained perfectly met Li Zhen's needs.

Once he has relied on his memories and these traditions to advance his skills in feng shui to a certain level, he can then absorb the memories of other feng shui masters and advance his skills in feng shui to the level of a master.

The art of feng shui is very different from witchcraft and sorcery.

For beginners, neither black magic nor witchcraft has any barriers to entry. As long as you know the rituals and incantations, you can try to cast spells.

Of course, no one can guarantee what the outcome will be after it is used.

The art of feng shui is very difficult to master; it is hard to get started with fragmented memories and bits and pieces of information.

Without systematic study of this subject, some arguments will leave you feeling confused and bewildered.

Li Zhen's gaze continued downwards.

What surprised him even more was the rune's explanation of the few pieces of paper left behind by those feng shui masters.

The runes not only summarized it as "secret art," but also believed that it "encompasses the wisdom of various Feng Shui traditions around the world and may have miraculous effects on solving problems."

The idea of ​​asking those feng shui masters to find a way to resolve the problem of the Zhenshan Xuan Seal was just a sudden inspiration that came to Li Zhen after he learned that the mission world was a fusion of two worlds.

In retrospect, his sudden inspiration actually worked.

Thinking of those feng shui masters, Li Zhen suddenly realized that he might have underestimated them.

If those people didn't have real skills, Nguyen Van Ho wouldn't have hired them to do the work...

Li Zhen's gaze swept downwards, passing over the explanation about the big-headed brat.

To his slight surprise, there was no indication that the Big-Headed Imp's memories needed to be erased, suggesting that the Big-Headed Imp was not fully conscious.

Although the big-headed imp was more ferocious than ordinary imps, its flaws were equally obvious; it could only be used as a tool for killing...

Li Zhen continued reading downwards, carefully finishing the last explanation about the insect eggs.

After leaving the Gu Clan, Li Zhen devised several methods of killing, one of which was to use the insect eggs obtained from the High Priest to cast the Black Heart Gu to kill people.

This method of killing is very simple, and in certain specific situations, it can wipe out the entire Gu clan.

In the end, Li Zhen had the little devil put the insect eggs into the food, thus wiping out all the Gu clan members who deserved to die.

The worms that hatch from these eggs look somewhat like small maggots, but they are not maggots.

After trying it once, Li Zhen was indeed satisfied with the killing efficiency of this thing, so he brought back the remaining insect eggs.

The golden lettering slowly disappeared.

Li Zhen's vision returned to normal, and he saw the dark ceiling of the carriage.

He felt a weight on his body, as if something heavy was pressing down on him.

Li Zhen knew what it was without even looking.

He reached out and pushed the body of the Gu clan ancestor who was pressing down on him out of the coffin, then slowly got up from the coffin.

Both the vampire and the banshee stood beside the coffin.

The red-eyed bats, the ghost fetuses, the little ghosts, and the mahjong ghosts were all resting, and the carriage was very quiet. Apart from that, nothing had changed in the carriage; everything was the same as when he lay down in the coffin to carry out his mission.

Li Zhen picked up his phone and glanced at it; only one day had passed here.

He put down his phone and looked at his arms.

At this point, although most of the skin on his arm had recovered, the tendons and bones under the skin were still visible in many places.

What would be a terrifying scene in the eyes of ordinary people was something to be happy about for Li Zhen.

After this mission, he not only solved his most difficult problem in a way that exceeded his expectations, but also obtained several methods to resolve the Zhenshan Xuan Seal, as well as the inheritance of Feng Shui techniques. How could he not be happy?
Of course, the explanation of the runes was not all that Li Zhen had learned.

Li Zhen knew that the High Priest's memories he had obtained were also very important.

In particular, the uniquely structured witchcraft involved is something that Li Zhen cannot ignore.

I must study this carefully when I have time...

Li Zhen shook his head and pressed his right arm a few times.

The snake-scale-like growths on his arm were thicker than before, though still not as good as they used to be, but they made his arm less sensitive than his left.

That golden Buddha was indeed a treasure...

Climbing out of the coffin, Li Zhen looked at the curse mark on the outer wall of the coffin.

The once gleaming curse mark has lost its luster and become very dull.

The curse mark must have indeed been activated when he went to the mission world...

Li Zhen, lost in thought, took out the golden Buddha with a missing arm that he had placed behind the female demon.

Before going to the mission world, he didn't know if he would need this thing, so he wrapped the golden Buddha in an opaque black cloth and put it in the basket on the banshee's back.

Li Zhen did not remove the black cloth covering the golden Buddha. Instead, he placed the black cloth along with the Buddha in an empty space in the carriage and then placed the Mahavairocana Sutra in front of the golden Buddha.

He found an incense burner, placed it in front of the golden Buddha, lit three incense sticks and inserted them into it, and then bowed three times to the golden Buddha.

This golden Buddha helped him several times and deserves to be treated with respect.

After the ceremony, Li Zhen retrieved the palm leaf whip and placed it next to the golden Buddha.

A bewildered-looking kid appeared beside Li Zhen.

With its left hand gripping a rotting cat and its right hand holding the big-headed imp by the neck, it looked around before finally fixing its gaze on the imp's neck and asking Li Zhen, "This guy is so ugly, where did he come from?"

It tilted its head and looked at Li Zhen, asking in confusion, "Did you capture it to let me play with?"

"You don't want it?" Li Zhen moved the body of the Gu Clan's ancestor to the side of the carriage.

He will only have time to refine this thing after he has resolved the immediate issues.

Furthermore, figuring out how to recreate this body is also a problem.

Originally, he just wanted to casually refine it and turn it into a vehicle.

After reading the explanation of the runes, Li Zhen changed his mind again.

"Yes, of course! This guy looks ugly, but he's kind of fun." The imp threw down the rotten cat and rubbed the big-headed imp hard a few times, almost breaking the big-headed imp's neck. "It's strange, I seem to have lost another piece of memory... Oh, don't worry, don't worry, ten missions, right? Let me think, I seem to owe quite a few missions."

As it spoke, its expression turned dejected: "I don't know when it will be finished."

Li Zhen, who was checking the physical condition of the Gu clan's ancestor to prevent his Yin energy from completely dissipating, ignored the little ghost.

The little devil then looked at the body of the Gu Clan's ancestor and asked, "Did you obtain this from outside? No, your body... how did it become like this? You... are different from before..."

The little devil looked Li Zhen up and down in surprise for a few moments, then exclaimed, "You're alive! That's really... really strange! It seems like a lot has happened since I woke up!"

Li Zhen approached the female demon, took the basket from her back, and picked up a small iron box, no bigger than half a palm, from inside the basket.

The ghost fetus opened its eyes, glanced at Li Zhen, rubbed its tentacles against Li Zhen's body, and then closed its eyes again, looking drowsy.

It entered a dormant state before Li Zhen entered "The Haunted Fetus", and only woke up after being stimulated by the demonic fetus.

For some reason, the ghost fetus has not fallen asleep since it woke up, and now it seems to have entered a dormant state again.

Li Zhen patted the ghost fetus's head to soothe its emotions and let it sleep peacefully.

The ghost fetus let out a few soft, eerie cries, wrapped more of its tentacles around Li Zhen's body, and then slowly closed its eyes.

Li Zhen withdrew his hand, opened the iron box in his hand, and examined the tiny, liquid-like insect eggs inside. Then, he carefully tore off the tentacles of the ghost fetus and placed the insect eggs on one side of the golden Buddha.

He took out the documents that were on the vampire's back and placed them next to the golden Buddha.

After finishing this, Li Zhen closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then picked up a bundle of prepared straw and tied it into a small figure.

He wrote his birth date and time on a piece of paper and pasted it on the straw effigy. Li Zhen then dripped some blood onto the straw effigy's forehead and finally used the blood as ink to draw a talisman on the straw effigy.

After muttering incantations for a while, Li Zhen placed the straw figure in a place far away from the golden Buddha.

He sat cross-legged in front of the straw figure and chanted a spell for a while.

When wisps of smoke began to rise from the straw figure's head, Li Zhen stopped chanting the incantation and placed a piece of white paper over the one with his birth date and time written on it.

I don't know if it will work...

In Fang Zhongxin's memory, this was a method that could conceal one's fate and prevent others from predicting it.

The reason why Fang Zhongxin and the Wang family were able to come to their door back then was because of their calculations.

Li Zhen naturally wanted to find a way to prevent others from making predictions about him, otherwise he might suffer losses unless his skills in divination reached a certain level.

This was the first time Li Zhen had used this technique, and even he couldn't determine its significant usefulness.

Returning to the banshee's side, Li Zhen took out the fleshy demon statue behind her and placed it in a suitable spot.

Afterwards, he took the few sheets of white paper that the feng shui master had given him from the information next to the golden Buddha, and walked out of the truck with the white paper.

Since receiving these blank sheets of paper, Li Zhen hadn't actually looked at them carefully...
