My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 163 Gu Master's Relics
"You have obtained: a high-quality Gu-breeding bowl, a young eye-brightening Gu egg, a young stone Gu egg, a method of performing the Thousand Blades spell, a suicide note from a Miao Gu master, and a brass key..."

"The Gu-raising Bowl (excellent item) is a unique item used by Miaojiang Gu Masters. It is used to cultivate Gu worms. Placing poisonous worms in it can stimulate the ferocity of the worms to the maximum extent, forcing them to devour each other. It can also increase the toxicity of the worms."

"Eggs of the Eye-Brightening Gu (common material), a Gu worm commonly used by Bai Miao Gu Masters. It needs to be raised with herbs such as mulberry leaves, Prunella Vulgaris, and white chrysanthemum. It can be used to clear the liver and improve eyesight, allowing the blind to recover without causing any damage to the body."

"Stone Gu eggs (common material), Gu worms commonly used by Black Seed Gu Masters, need to be fed with fresh blood and flesh, and are poisonous Gu specifically designed to injure and kill people. On the surface, they look ordinary, just ordinary stones."

"But if you are injured by the stone Gu, you will vomit blood all day long until your internal organs are all petrified and you die. The whole process is extremely painful."

"Moreover, Miaojiang Gu Masters are different from Nanyang Gu Masters. They are generally divided into White Miao and Black Miao. White Miao Gu Masters are proficient in detoxification and treatment. They will never take the initiative to use Gu unless it is absolutely necessary."

"The Black Miao Gu Masters are proficient in many kinds of poison Gu techniques. Perhaps because they have been dealing with poison Gu for many years, their temperaments are arrogant and capricious, and their moods are unpredictable. If they disagree with someone, they will use ruthless actions and wipe out the entire family of the opponent."

"But if you don't provoke them, they won't bother to make enemies with outsiders. After all, in their hearts, the most important thing is the various poisonous insects."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that he was really cruel. He killed a whole family just because of a disagreement.

He read the description in the text, took the items out and looked at them for a few times, and finally threw them all into the trick bag.

Whether it is the eye-clearing Gu or the stone Gu, special methods are needed to cultivate it, and these methods are usually the secrets of the Gu Master.

He now has everything ready, but the only thing he lacks is the method to hatch the insect eggs.

Jiang Xinghuo had no choice but to put it aside for the time being and turn to look at the remaining spells and props.

"Thousand Cuttings (excellent technique), this is a black magic technique that came from Southeast Asia. The person who is hit by this technique will be cut into pieces by thousands of cuts until he bleeds to death. If you want to completely resolve this black magic technique, there are only two ways, either let the caster remove the spell himself, or kill the caster, otherwise there is only one way out, death."

"Do you want to learn this technique?"

"You have learned it, Thousand Swords Fall."

As the text flashed by, a large amount of information flooded into my mind, all about the steps of casting "Thousand Swords", including how to set up the altar, how to cast the spell, how to draw the talisman, how to remove the spell...

Anyway, it's always good to have many skills. Having one more skill at hand may come in handy at some point.

"The suicide note of the Miao Gu Master (common item). The suicide note left by the Miao Gu Master before his death. Do you want to open it and read its contents?"

"You opened the suicide note of the Miao Gu Master."

"You learned about what happened to this Gu Master."

"This Gu Master was originally a Bai Miao Gu Master, and he grew up with his childhood sweetheart. However, when they were preparing to get married, the Gu Master's sweetheart was chosen by the Miao village elders and became the Miao village's Fallen Flower Cave Girl. They wanted to send her into the cave to marry the cave god."

"The Gu Master was heartbroken upon hearing the news and wanted to flee with his lover, but was stopped by the Miao village elder and his men. The Gu Master was furious and performed a ritual, using the Thousand Swords, which killed the Miao village elder on the spot."

"After this incident, the two fled the Miao border area overnight. In order to avoid being hunted by the village, they came to the vicinity of the capital and found a deserted place to live in seclusion. The Gu Master prepared to develop a powerful Gu worm to protect himself and his lover."

"I didn't want to die before I could accomplish my mission. I spent decades of hard work, but not only did I fail to develop the insect, but I also died of the poison. The Gu Master had no choice but to put it in a secret room, waiting for someone to inherit its will, so that it would not be obtained by its enemies."

"You learned the location of the secret room from the suicide note left by the Gu Master. It is in the cellar under the bed. It is sealed with black iron on all sides. Without the key, outsiders cannot enter even if they find it." "You moved the wooden bed by the window and found the door to the secret room below. Do you want to enter this secret room?"

"You chose to enter this secret room."

"You opened the door to the Chamber of Secrets with the brass key in your hand."

"A dusty smell hits you in the face. You walk down the stairs. In the small secret room, there are many corpse remains. They were all dug out from the mass graves by the Gu Master and are specially used to refine Gu poison."

"You explored the secret room carefully and found two dried Gu Master corpses, a mature Life-Substitute Gu, a Hundred Corpse Gu, and a Corpse Accumulation Bottle."

"The remains of a Gu Master (ordinary material). The remains of a young Gu Master and his lover. Because they have been raising Gu for many years, various toxins have accumulated in their bodies, causing the corpses to become toxic. You can sell them to corpse drivers or pharmacists, and I'm sure you'll get a lot of money."

"Of course, if you can't bear to see them left exposed in the wilderness, becoming puppets in the hands of corpse drivers, or firewood in the alchemist's furnace, you can bury them properly."

"What are you going to choose?"

"You decided to give their remains a proper burial."

"You bought a twin coffin from the niche shop, placed the remains of the Gu Master and his wife inside, and then buried them a hundred feet underground."

"That way no one will bother them."

"But just after you buried the Gu Master and his wife underground, a secret compartment suddenly appeared on the wall next to them."

"You walked over and investigated."

"You have obtained the Corpse King Gu."

"Corpse King Gu (rare), a Gu worm that a Gu Master has spent his entire life cultivating. It uses the Qi in the dead body as nutrients and contains horrible corpse poison. Its power is extremely terrifying."

"According to the Gu Master's estimate, once the corpse qi in the Great Corpse King Gu is released, it will instantly turn the area within a hundred miles into a wasteland. All living things within the range of the corpse qi pollution will become zombies and obey the control of the Corpse King Gu."

"But unfortunately, this Gu worm is still just a larva. It will take a long time for it to transform into a true corpse king Gu, and it needs to be nourished with corpse qi at all times, otherwise it will fall into a deep sleep."

After reading the relevant details, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but gasp.

If such a terrifying poisonous insect falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid the real-life version of Resident Evil will be released.

An area of ​​a hundred miles in radius would be turned into a wasteland, which would be equivalent to completely wiping out all lives in a city.

Jiang Xinghuo just felt that this was a hot potato that could neither be sold to others nor leaked at will.

Otherwise, there are people who will cause trouble for themselves.
