One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 611: Being Recruited
Those who work in feng shui are truly amazing!
You've been standing next to that kid from the Xu family ever since you started from Tianfu Square in Chengdu, haven't you?
I don't want to know what the Dong family went through.
That person planted a Gu worm inside me. The Gu worm gnawed at my brain, and I couldn't resist it.
The so-called possession of Luo Hong's body was merely a temporary control of Luo Hong's body by that person using the power of the Gu worm.
Luo Hong will recover after a couple of days of rest.
Comrade Chen Tian, do you know who's behind this? Can you catch him?
I can die, but this Gu worm cannot be passed down from my body.
I am an elder of the Luo family, but I have been controlled for a long time. I know I have committed grave sins and there is nothing to say in my defense. Do whatever you want with me..."
Upon entering the new room, the Third Elder calmly sat down and then took out several talismans from his pocket. The talismans dissolved, enveloping the entire room. Anyone wishing to enter would have to break through the power of the talismans or be allowed entry by the Third Elder.
Chen Tian didn't care at all; he simply watched the Third Elder's actions calmly without interfering.
The Third Elder spoke earnestly, his tone filled with a sense of helplessness at being swept along by the tide.
His act of feigning weakness left everyone speechless.
Some of what he said may be true, but it is certainly mixed with lies.
The main point is to maintain a sincere attitude, while also being somewhat evasive; it remains to be seen how Chen Tian will handle it.
"So, who tempted the previous Third Elder to scheme against Luo Shuxiang and corrupt the water-suppressing divine beast?"
"Who is the person who uses Gu worms to control you, and where is he?"
The Third Elder positioned himself as a victim while deliberately obscuring the key figures, a clever scheme indeed.
"That person appeared dressed in all black. He always takes the initiative to find me, so I have no idea who he is."
It's as if he's always been alive; it was him from beginning to end, and no one else!
The Third Elder shook his head, looking extremely pained, as if trying hard to recall, but in the end he only gave some ambiguous results.
"Since the Third Elder says you have Gu worms in your body, I will find someone to take a look at you. In the meantime, if the Third Elder's Gu poison flares up, I will use some unconventional methods to suppress the Gu poison in your body. I hope the Third Elder can hold on."
By the way, was the well that Luo Shuxiang was thrown into the same ancient well that led to the water-suppressing beast in the Luo family's possession?
As soon as Chen Tian finished speaking, the longsword flew out, and with a gentle push, it accurately pierced through the Third Elder's chest.
No blood gushed out; only a black worm the size of a palm struggled inside his chest.
The Third Elder groaned, all his strength drained away instantly, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to move even his fingers.
"You...you...you—"
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Chen Tian didn't expect him to answer. He glanced at the Third Elder one last time, then turned and left the room.
The power of the talisman set up by the Third Elder was nothing to Chen Tian.
He did indeed have Gu worms in his body. Although Chen Tian temporarily pierced the Gu worms with his longsword, these Gu worms fed on the Third Elder's flesh and blood, so the Third Elder's days ahead were going to be difficult.
Chen Tian gave a few instructions to the soldiers guarding outside, then walked to the side, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
"Hello, person in charge, this is Chen Tian. Someone in the Luo family has been infected with a Gu worm by someone behind the scenes, and I can't handle it!"
Chen Tian asked for help with a confident tone and briefly reported the situation to Huang Miao.
"I understand. I'll arrange for someone to go and help you with the Gu worms!"
Lianyungang City, the headquarters of the Feng Shui Bureau.
Huang Miao quickly hung up the phone call from Wang Ye.
He sat in his office, calmly picked up his teacup, and took a sip of tea.
With his eyes squinted, as if deep in thought, Huang Miao slowly put down his teacup after a long while.
"Your emotions seem a bit off. Is the situation with Wang Ye difficult?"
Zhang Qilin was sitting alone playing chess. Although he heard Huang Miao answering the phone, he didn't think it would cause Huang Miao any trouble.
In Zhang Qilin's mind, there was nothing that Huang Miao couldn't solve.
"It's not particularly tricky, but the mention of Gu worms makes me involuntarily think of the case in Jidu City. Do you think the person who appeared before the Third Elder of the Luo family and tempted him might be the same person as the man in black behind the Jidu City case?"
Huang Miao's face was solemn with deep thought, and he couldn't help but ponder further.
So far, in every case handled by the Feng Shui Bureau, there seems to be a man in black with some degree of involvement.
It wasn't that Huang Miao was suspicious; it was simply that there were too many coincidences. When these coincidences accumulated to a certain extent, they ceased to be coincidences and became a meticulously planned conspiracy.
"You mean..."
After hearing Huang Miao's words, Zhang Qilin put down his chess piece and his expression became serious.
Putting everything else aside, this man in black alone is a real headache. What is his purpose in meticulously planning all of this?
Zhang Qilin pondered deeply, but he still couldn't connect the cases in his mind.
After all, from any perspective, there is no obvious connection between these cases.
"It's impossible for Gu worms to be such a coincidence. You stay here and oversee things; I'm going out to take a look myself."
Huang Miao finally made a decision.
Within the feng shui arrangement, no one had a deeper understanding of Gu worms; only when Huang Miao personally intervened could he feel at ease.
"You're going to act alone?"
In the past, Huang Miao always went on missions with Zhang Qilin, so this time he suddenly had to act alone, which Zhang Qilin was not used to.
As the deputy director, Zhang Qilin had grown a lot. He also understood that Huang Miao had his reasons for making such arrangements, and he only needed to follow instructions.
"I feel at ease with you here at headquarters!"
Huang Miao solemnly gave Zhang Qilin some instructions before leaving the feng shui bureau.
The helicopter roared into the air and took off, carrying Huang Miao southwestward.
Sitting in the helicopter, Huang Miao appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was communicating with the system in his mind.
"Are you sure the holy maiden of Miao territory is still alive?"
The Miao people were skilled at raising Gu poison, but that was decades ago. These things should have long since disappeared into the annals of history.
However, the system gave a different answer.
In the remote forests of the southwestern border, the ancient art of raising Gu poison is still preserved, and the legendary Miao holy maiden is also a real person.
Currently, only the Holy Maiden has truly succeeded in raising Gu poison.
If any Gu worms were to spread, they must have originated from the hands of the Miao holy maiden.
To thoroughly understand the origins of the Gu worms, Huang Miao had to make the trip himself.
"The Holy Maiden certainly exists, but it is unknown which generation of Holy Maiden she is now. The Miao people are extremely hostile to outsiders. Those who remain to follow the Holy Maiden live in tribes deep in the forest, almost completely isolated from the outside world. Ordinary people simply cannot reach this place."
"Host, please proceed with caution and avoid conflict with the inhabitants of the primitive tribe. Otherwise, once the Holy Maiden intervenes, you will find it difficult to obtain the secrets about the Gu worms from her!"
The system once again provided a human-like explanation to Huang Miao's question.
When Huang Miao opened his eyes again, the helicopter was already circling over the forests of the northwestern border. Unfamiliar with the terrain below, the helicopter could not land directly, and the pilot was studying a landing plan.
"No need to land, I'll just jump. You can go back now!"
Huang Miao patted the pilot on the shoulder and said calmly.
Before the pilot could react, Huang Miao opened the cabin door and jumped.
As if riding the wind, Huang Miao descended from the sky, slowly walking down the steps as if stepping on stairs.
The system did not provide Huang Miao with a more detailed location, only telling him that the village where the Miao holy maiden lived was located in this deep forest.
To find the Miao holy maiden, Huang Miao had to rely on his own exploration.
After landing, Huang Miao did not rush to act, but stood still to determine the direction.
He released his spiritual power and only withdrew it after a while.
Huang Miao has determined which direction the life was gathering in.
However, the mountain paths in the deep forest were rugged and difficult to traverse, and there were no roads at all.
Huang Miao took out a dagger, played with it in his hand for a few moments, and then threw it at the trees in front of him.
Following the direction he had chosen, the incredibly sharp dagger, like an axe, chopped down tree after tree, clearing a path more than a meter wide.
With a dagger clearing the way ahead, Huang Miao strolled along leisurely, seemingly oblivious to any problem.
Huang Miao appears to be walking leisurely, but if someone looks at him from behind, they will see that his figure is rapidly shrinking, indicating that he has already walked a long way.
No wonder the system says this village is almost completely isolated from the world, and ordinary people simply cannot reach it. The extremely rugged mountains with no climbing paths alone are enough to stop too many people from moving forward.
The legend of the Ten Thousand Mile Mountain Range, from ancient times to the present, is indeed well-deserved.
Huang Miao ignored all of this, proceeding toward his goal as if he were in an empty field.
As night fell, Huang Miao saw signs of human activity in the deep forest, indicating that they were very close to the village.
The rustling sounds coming from deep in the forest were particularly noticeable.
Countless venomous animals crawled around Huang Miao, blocking his path forward and also cutting off his retreat.
Seeing so many poisonous creatures appear, Huang Miao did not show any fear on his face; instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
This indicates that there really is a Miao holy woman in the village not far ahead.
"I have no ill intentions toward the Holy Maiden. I request that the Holy Maiden appear before me!"
Huang Miao lightly stomped his foot, and the poisonous creature, which had been advancing, suddenly stopped, stopping less than two meters away from Huang Miao.
The poisonous creatures rustled and moved, as if something had drawn a circle around that spot, preventing them from moving forward and forcing them to stop cautiously.
Huang Miao focused his energy in his dantian, and his voice carried far.
He believed that the Miao holy woman could hear him.
"The Holy Maiden does not receive outsiders; you may leave now!"
After a while, a soft and charming voice drifted into Huang Miao's ears.
"Now that I have traveled so far to get here, I am determined to see the Holy Maiden. I will not leave until she appears!"
Huang Miao smiled. Did he look like the kind of person who would give up easily?
"I was going to spare your life, but you're ungrateful. You want to see the Holy Maiden? If you're so capable, then subdue these poisonous creatures; otherwise, you'll become their food!"
The voice rang out again, clearly tinged with anger.
No sooner had the words been spoken than the poisonous creatures, which had been motionless, began to stir again.
One of the small, fiery red snakes stood upright, shooting towards Huang Miao like an arrow released from a bow.
A thin protective barrier instantly rose around Huang Miao, sending the red-chained snake flying.
Without making any unnecessary movements, he simply used this protective barrier to directly enter the horde of poisonous creatures.
Swarms of venomous creatures surged forward like a tide, attempting to gnaw at Huang Miao's protective barrier, but to no avail; only the venomous creatures fell.
Of course, in order to avoid a complete falling out with the Miao holy maiden, Huang Miao did not kill these poisonous creatures, but only made those that tried to gnaw at the protective barrier unconscious.
The poisons are everywhere, but the results are always the same.
"Who are you?"
Seemingly able to perceive Huang Miao's situation, the voice rang out again, filled with surprise.
"Huang Miao!"
Huang Miao gave the same answer.
"Feng Shui formation? Never heard of it. You are no ordinary person. Since these poisons are powerless against you, I shall see you!"
After a moment's hesitation, the saintess made a concession.
The moment she finished speaking, the poisonous creatures that had been rushing towards Huang Miao scattered and fled in all directions. The area was now completely clear, with not a single poisonous creature in sight, as if everything that had just happened was merely Huang Miao's hallucination.
In the distance, the sound of someone moving through the jungle could be heard.
A short while later, a young, strong man with a bronze complexion, dressed in traditional Miao clothing, hurried over.
He was gesturing wildly at Huang Miao.
Huang Miao looked at him for a while before he understood that he meant for Huang Miao to go with him.
Huang Miao nodded and silently followed the burly man toward the village.
The village deep in the mountains was exceptionally simple and unpretentious. Several burly men guarded the gate, holding homemade weapons and staring fiercely at Huang Miao.
However, they had clearly received orders and simply kept their eyes on Huang Miao without taking any other action.
The stilted house where the saintess lived was located in the very center of the village and was the most ornately decorated.
To Huang Miao's great surprise, the furnishings inside the stilted building were no different from those outside, complete with sofas and coffee tables. Except for the lack of a television, it was just like a modern living room.
The living room was empty. After the burly man led Huang Miao in, he left on his own, leaving Huang Miao standing there alone.
After looking around the room, Huang Miao calmly sat down on the sofa.
He could already see a figure faintly visible in the room behind the beaded curtain.
Anyone who lives in this stilted building is undoubtedly a saint.
Huang Miao was puzzled as to why the Holy Maiden had not yet come out to see him.
Perhaps this was the other party's way of hospitality, because Huang Miao did not urge him, but simply sat quietly.
As Huang Miao sat there, he began to realize that something was wrong.
The figure was still faintly visible, but a strange heat welled up in his heart, and he wanted to step over the beaded curtain and embrace the person behind it.
wrong!
As expected of the Holy Maiden of Miao territory, she managed to trick Huang Miao without him even realizing it. (End of Chapter)
