When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

"Ding! The host has triggered a system mission: The Zhou Family's Source of Calamity! Upon completion of the mission, you will receive a large reward!"

Just at this time.

Suddenly, the system's notification sounded in Zhang Chuyu's mind.

A slight smile appeared on Zhang Chuyu's lips.

very good!

Another system task has been triggered.

Even though Zhang Chuyu would intervene even without a mission, given his relationship with the Zhou family.

But who would complain about having too many rewards?

Zhang Chuyu coughed lightly.

Zhou Hansheng then realized what was happening and felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Xiao Chu, look at this on my back... is it treatable?"

Zhang Chuyu nodded slightly.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, you've been bewitched!"

Gu, as the name suggests.

It involves placing countless poisonous insects in a container, where they devour and kill each other.

The one that survived in the end was the Gu!

Gu, a type of poison, is prevalent in the Miao region.

There are also three great strange tales in Miao territory: Gu poison, corpse driving, and the woman from the Falling Flower Cave.

Its origins lie in the ancient witch tribe, and it remains shrouded in mystery.

There are records in the Celestial Master's Mansion that it belongs to one of the unorthodox sects.

Unexpectedly, I saw Gu magic on Zhou Hansheng today!

"insanity?"

Zhou Hansheng's expression instantly turned ugly, clearly indicating that he also knew something.

Zhang Chuyu said, "That's right, this kind of Gu is called Snake Skin Gu. People who are afflicted by it will first develop snake scales on their skin, especially on their backs!"

"If the Gu worm cannot be removed, within seven days, snake scales will cover the entire body, transforming the person from human into a snake. Finally, the Gu worm will completely devour the living person's skin, turning them into a Gu demon!"

"Seven days..." Zhou Hansheng seemed to have thought of something.

"Xiao Chu, are you saying that this curse... was recently cast on me?"

"That's right. When I was exorcising the evil spirits and calming your soul just now, I found that the yin energy in your body was not too strong and wouldn't kill you. It should be protected by the talisman energy left by Uncle Zhou."

"But there is another kind of energy within you, and now it seems to be this snake-skin Gu."

Zhang Chuyu said calmly, "Uncle Zhou, you seem to have some enemies."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hansheng's expression changed.

He bowed to Zhang Chuyu once again.

"Xiao Chu, I didn't expect this matter to be so complicated. If it's difficult, given the relationship between our two families, just say so. Uncle Zhou will definitely not blame you."

Zhang Chuyu smiled calmly.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhou. I am the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion. If a Grandmaster from Miao territory came, I might have some skill. But this Gu practitioner's cultivation is not up to par. It's just a minor skill and not worth mentioning."

"Now that you know what it is, I'll help you remove this snake-skin Gu."

Although Gu magic is mysterious and unpredictable.

But it's just a minor side approach; as long as you address the specific symptoms, it's not difficult to solve.

An ordinary Taoist priest might need to consider whether he can draw special talismans to deal with this kind of Gu technique.

But for Zhang Chuyu...

All the talismans and incantations in the world are stored in his heart.

Among them are those specifically designed to counter Gu magic.

Zhang Chuyu's mind raced.

"Understanding the profound mystery, the divine talisman manifests itself!"

"Exorcise evil spirits and banish demons, and all insects will flee!"

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

The talismans bloomed.

The Gu-Extermination Talisman!

One of the spiritual talismans in the Tongtianlu (a Taoist talisman), which is difficult for ordinary Taoists to control.

But Zhang Chuyu was able to use it at will.

This is also the domineering nature of the Tongtian Talisman.

With a single thought, precious talismans from various schools and sects can be scattered like beans.

"go!"

Under the imperial decree, the talisman transformed into a stream of light and entered Zhou Hansheng's body directly.

Zhou Hansheng's entire body trembled violently.

An extreme pain surged through my entire body.

It made him groan involuntarily.

The next moment, a wriggling sphere suddenly appeared on his back.

It seemed to want to break through his body.

Zhang Chuyu took a step forward.

A golden light flashed from his hand, and a bloody gash appeared on Zhou Hansheng's back.

A round, spherical blood sac detached from it.

pat-

It fell to the ground.

A black snake, only an inch long, emerged from inside the sphere!

The black snake writhed a few times before its entire body stiffened completely, rendering it utterly dead.

"Host has killed 1 Gu Serpent, gaining 100 Merit Points!"

The system's voice rang in Zhang Chuyu's mind.

Zhang Chuyu ignored it.

Instead, he looked down at the black snake.

Where the black snake fell, the ground was corroded into a pit.

As expected of the Gu Snake, the king of venomous insects!

This toxicity.

Even if this thing isn't very powerful.

Even if a powerful innate expert were to be contaminated by this poison, they would likely be severely injured, if not killed.

"call--"

now.

Zhou Hansheng let out a sigh of relief.

His forehead was soaked with cold sweat.

However, after the Gu worm broke through his body, he felt refreshed and invigorated like never before.

He seemed to have regained his energy.

"Xiao Chu, thank you so much."

Zhou Hansheng thanked Zhang Chuyu.

Zhang Chuyu waved her hand.

"Although the Gu worms have been destroyed, this series of deadly traps has not been broken."

"Uncle Zhou, please take me directly to the shopping mall you built."

Since the mission has already been triggered, there's no need to delay.

This supernatural event targeting the Zhou family is clearly part of a larger scheme.

First, they used supernatural methods to commit murder.

Then, a Gu worm was introduced into the body.

Thanks to the Zhou family, they are truly blessed.

Otherwise, they might die without even knowing how they died.

Zhou Hansheng knew the importance of the matter, and he nodded.

"it is good."

The three of them then left the room and drove off in one direction!

.....

Nanjiang.

Inside a private room at a private club, laughter and chatter filled the air, creating a joyful atmosphere.

A middle-aged man who was embracing two scantily clad, shapely young girls suddenly seemed to realize something.

His expression changed slightly.

He said to the hostesses in the private room, "You all need to get out."

The girls dared not delay and hurriedly withdrew.

Only then did someone nearby ask a question.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged man spoke with a serious tone.

"The snake worm inside Zhou is dead. He's really lucky. He survived this. He must have hired a master."

"What?!"

Inside the private room.

Another bald man, dressed in a low-key yet luxurious manner, was stunned, and his drunkenness sobered up considerably.

He hurriedly said, "Masters! Didn't you say that Fatty Zhou was doomed this time?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the bald man.

"What's the panic? So what if the snake poison is broken! As long as that ancient tomb exists, he's doomed! This is a place we specifically chose for him!"

"Even if we look at the entire Nanjiang region, there aren't many who could handle those three earth dragons! Not to mention the cemetery... it's not just about those three guarding earth dragons!"

Upon hearing this, the bald man...

He breathed a slight sigh of relief and lightly slapped himself.

"I was too hasty. I'll punish myself with three drinks! After everything is done, I'll add another 20% to the price for the two masters!"
