After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 637 My scalp is tingling, isn’t this the Heavenly King Gu?
"Don't."

Li Changfu panicked and tried to stop him, "Brother Yuan, I'm just complaining, I'm not saying I won't do it..."

The old man surnamed Yuan smiled when he heard this. "That's right. Know when to advance and when to retreat, and know the gains and losses. As the old saying goes, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Then I will wait for good news from you, brother Li. Please be sure to find out the whereabouts of the dragon-shaped jade pendant..."

"Also, there is one more thing. You will probably run into Liu Jianguo and the others by then. By the way, you can get some information about the Gu God from them..."

……

Half an hour later, the square-faced old man was the only one left in the pavilion.

He sat at the table, looking at the lush green fields of hundreds of acres below the mountain. The tea in the cup seemed to have no taste.

"grandfather……"

Outside the pavilion, a young man in his thirties came in.

"Hui Er is here?"

Li Changfu held the teacup, looked out at the mountain in the distance, sighed, and didn't even turn his head.

The young man came to the old man, his face full of worry, "Grandpa, that person just now..."

"Ugh."

Li Changfu raised his hand and interrupted him, "It's all Grandpa's fault. For his own selfish desires, he got on the pirate ship. I'm afraid the Li family will be destroyed in my hands."

Having said that, to be fair, if he were given the choice again, he would probably make the same choice.

After all, the realm of creation, what a great temptation it is for a spiritual realm whose lifespan is about to run out.
The young man paused when he heard this and was speechless for a moment.

Li Changfu hesitated for a moment before turning to look at the young man, "Your aunt still refuses to come back?"

The young man smiled bitterly when he heard this, "I saw her once in Lingjiang a few years ago, and I haven't seen her since then. I called her recently, but she rarely answered the phone."

"Ugh."

Li Changfu sighed, a hint of bitterness showing on his face.

"Grandpa, do you want me to go find her myself..."

"No need."

Li Changfu waved his hand and said, "Our Li family owes them mother and daughter. It's normal for her to be unwilling to come back because of hatred in her heart. When I die one day, she will naturally come back."

"grandfather."

The young man was startled. "What are you talking about? You just broke through the Creation Realm. You still have a long life ahead of you."

"Haha, you don't understand." Li Changfu shook his head and took a deep breath. "Still no news about your father and your uncles?"

"No, I'm afraid..."

The young man paused, his brows showing a bit of sadness, but also a bit of hope, "I heard that someone from the Zhao family was taken away by the association. Will my dad and the others also..."

"Ah."

Li Changfu smiled bitterly, "Hui'er, in the future, if grandpa disappears like your father and the others, you should go find your aunt. I'm afraid the only one who can save our Li family is the Guan family. No matter what, you have to protect the inheritance of our Li family..."

"Grandpa, you..."

"Alas, the world is full of uncertainties, and I am forced to let myself drift. He is right. Since I have made the choice, I must pay the price. After today, I am no longer myself..."

……

-

Stone King Valley, under the north cliff.

Chen Yang and Xuan Jing were not slow at all. When they arrived at Laoguan Mountain, it was just noon.

The miasma in the valley was dispersed by the sunlight, and the surroundings were quiet, extremely quiet.

Xuan Jing looked up, then jumped up and quickly climbed onto the cliff.

Chen Yang followed closely behind.

"what?"

The cliff cave was empty.

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thinking that he had gone to the wrong place.

Not only were the three coffins missing, but even my uncle’s pots and pans were gone.

"Are you sure it's here?" Xuan Jing asked.

Chen Yang nodded. Although the three coffins were gone, the marks left by the coffins were still there.

He had been here many times, so it was definitely here.

Xuan Jing frowned, "Where are the people?"

A frown crossed Chen Yang's forehead. You ask me, but who should I ask?

His mental power radiated out, covering the entire Old Coffin Mountain, but he did not find any trace of his uncle and the others.

Chen Yang looked around the cliff cave. It was very clean. All of his uncle's pots, pans, and utensils were gone. It was obvious that he did not leave in a hurry.

"It looks like they should have left?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows.

There were two major hidden dangers in the underground palace. The Heavenly King Gu had already escaped, and the Three Corpse Sacred Tree had also been sealed. It was reasonable for my uncle and Master Wo Yun to leave.

As for where to go?
Who knows, maybe he followed his uncle to Huangjia Village, or maybe he returned to Qitian Temple on Er'e Mountain.

Xuan Jing was somewhat depressed.

This time, he also wanted to pay a visit to Master Wo Yun.

"Forget it, let's get down to business first."

Xuan Jing shook her head and didn't dwell on it. She immediately took Chen Yang off the cliff and entered the underground palace.

……

Xuan Jing had never been here before, so Chen Yang led the way.

The underground palace is now much quieter. Apart from the group of blood crows in Miaoshu Palace and some bone-eating beetles in Gu River, there are basically no spiritual creatures left.

The two of them had a smooth journey, crossing the Gu River, entering the territory of the East Palace, and soon arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Kings.

Inside the Heavenly King Hall, there is a small pond, calm and deep. On a high platform, a bronze coffin is quietly displayed, with the lid of the coffin lying aside, revealing a thick layer of gold inside.

The traces of the battle with the Heavenly King Gu that day are still clearly visible.

The two walked towards the platform.

Came to the bronze coffin.

The coffin has two layers, the inner layer is made of gold, and the outer layer is made of bronze.

The coffin lid also has two layers.

One layer of gold, one layer of bronze.

Xuan Jing reached into the sleeve of his monk's robe and took out the golden bowl.

"Take it."

Xuan Jing stuffed the bowl into Chen Yang's hand and said, "Pour the bowl into the coffin later. I will cover the coffin lid. Be quick and don't let this little thing run away."

"This……"

Chen Yang paused. Actually, he wanted to think that it would be enough to put the bowl inside to suppress it, which would also serve as a double insurance.

But it was obvious that Xuan Jing was reluctant to part with the bowl.

Before Chen Yang could say anything, Xuan Jing had already walked to the side and was carrying the lid of the coffin.

Chen Yang held the bowl in both hands.

Isn't this the moment we've been waiting for? Let's get the reward of the Heavenly King Gu's illustrated book first.

His eyes dropped into the bowl.

A red beetle lay quietly in the bowl, as if it was asleep, motionless.

Looking at its appearance, it is somewhat similar to the bone-eating beetle, but it is also obviously different. The most obvious difference is that this insect has four eyes and a long nose tube similar to that of a cicada...

……

"Ding, SS-level insect [Medicine Gu] found, the illustration is opened, and the reward [Super Insect Growth Essence]*1 is obtained. The item has been placed in the system warehouse and can be used at any time."

……

"Ding, the mission is released."

"Mission: Hunting SS-level insects [Medicine Gu], progress (0/1)"

"Reward: Soul Strengthening Pills*3."

……

The system prompt sounded soon, and the reward arrived.

The corners of Chen Yang's mouth curved slightly, thinking it was worthwhile for him to come all the way here.

Wait a minute?
Medicine Gu?

Shouldn’t it be the King of Heaven’s Gu?
How could it be [Medicine Gu]?
Could it be that Tianwang Gu is just a nickname? Its actual name is Yao Gu?
But, if Tianwang Gu is a nickname, then what is Gu God?
At this moment, a chill instantly flowed through Chen Yang's whole body.

He quickly opened the illustration and checked the information about [Medicine Gu].

-

Illustration: Medicinal Gu.

Rating: SS-level insect.

Introduction: Also known as Spiritual Medicine Gu, Medicine Seeking Gu, it is a Gu formed by multiple medicinal insects killing and devouring each other. It likes to devour medicinal materials and is extremely sensitive to them. It can help the host find spiritual medicine and refine the medicinal power...

-

At this moment, Chen Yang's scalp went numb and he felt like he was struck by lightning.

"what happened?"

Xuan Jing had already carried the coffin onto her back, her eyes fell on Chen Yang's back, and she could clearly sense the change in Chen Yang's mood.
Chen Yang's expression suddenly changed, and his voice trembled slightly, "Master, this thing is not the Heavenly King Gu..."

"What?" Xuan Jing was stunned, and then his brows knitted together. He threw the coffin lid directly to the ground, "Are you kidding me?"

He had never dealt with the Heavenly King Gu, but had only heard of it from books and legends.

This kind of insect has different shapes and theoretically can be the mutation of any kind of insect. It has extremely high IQ, strong abilities and talents. Once it is born, even if it is a maggot, it is a Gu God.

The insect in the bowl is a being in the Daozhen realm, and it came out of Zhang Guohua's body.

Therefore, it was natural for him to identify it as the King of Gu.

But now, Chen Yang suddenly said this, which completely confused Xuan Jing.

Chen Yang had a serious expression on his face. "Is it possible that it is the same insect as Zhang Guohua himself, and not actually the Heavenly King Gu? The Heavenly King Gu has a very high IQ and is extremely cunning. We caught it too easily. Will it push this insect out to pass it off as a fake? This insect has a strong medicinal smell. I suddenly thought that it might be a kind of insect called [Medicine Gu]..."

Medicine Gu?

Xuan Jing took the bowl and looked at it carefully. The insect did have a strong medicinal scent, but he was not deeply involved in insect magic and could not confirm the identity of the insect.

The Emei Insect Technique is the strongest and most sophisticated one held by Wannian Temple, but he is not a disciple of Wannian Temple.

"you sure?"

He looked at Chen Yang with a strange look, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Why didn’t you tell me when you caught this bug before? Why did you wait until now to tell me?
Chen Yang was also feeling miserable. I have never seen the Heavenly King Gu, so how would I know what it was? If the system hadn’t reminded me, I would have been kept in the dark.

"The Three Corpse God Tree just transmitted the message to me."

Chen Yang thought of a suitable reason, "It has been dealing with the Heavenly King Gu for hundreds of years and is familiar with its aura, so..."

This is the underground palace, so it makes sense that the Three Corpse Trees would convey messages to him.

The Three Corpses Sacred Tree?
Hearing this, Xuan Jing felt a little relieved.

"Don't listen to the evil tree's tricks. You never know what its intentions are." Xuan Jing said, shaking his head.

If it says it's not, then it's not? It won't lie to you? The demon tree has bad intentions, but it's not a good thing either.

But after he finished speaking, Xuan Jing was still a little hesitant.

It's better to be safe than sorry. What if what the Three Corpse Divine Tree said is true?

If this insect really wasn't the Heavenly King Gu, Xuan Jing felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it.

It seems necessary to see this tree.

"Where is the demon tree? Take me there."

Xuan Jing said this, holding the bowl, and strode out of the Heavenly King Hall with Chen Yang.

……

Miaoshu Palace.

In the dark abyss, the palace had already collapsed. Ma Yang, Jiang Min and other blood crows were perched on a giant tree, taking a nap.

There are still some mottled scars on the body of the Three Corpses Divine Tree, and the life-locking nails are shocking.

"quack……"

The flock of blood crows was awakened.

They were old acquaintances, so Chen Yang greeted them, but Xuan Jing had already walked to the front of the sacred tree.

Ma Yang, Jiang Min and others also felt the fierce aura of Xuan Jing. After Chen Yang gave them a brief introduction, the flock of blood crows instantly quieted down.

"Amitabha."

Xuan Jing held up the golden bowl, poured his true essence into it, and the bowl emitted golden light, illuminating the surroundings a little.

He directly used his mental power to penetrate into the tree and started communicating with the Three Corpses Divine Tree.

Chen Yang stood by, looking at the tree in front of him, cursing in his heart.

If you had been a little braver and willing to use your spiritual power to investigate yesterday on Mount Er'e, you wouldn't have discovered now that this insect had used a substitute.

A Xuan Jing scared you like this. So what if he found out? Are you afraid that I can't protect you?

Or, you did it on purpose?
At this moment, Chen Yang really felt that it was time to find an opportunity to give the Three Corpse Divine Tree a serious ideological education.

……

This matter must be notified to Wang Yuanchao and others immediately.

If the King of Heaven Gu is not here, then it is very likely still on Zhang Guohua's body.

He and Xuan Jing were there the whole time when they came back from Er'e Mountain yesterday, so there was no chance that the Tianwang Gu would escape.

At this moment, Zhang Guohua's body was frozen in the cold storage of the Ganshan Association, which means that the Tianwang Gu was most likely frozen in the cold storage as well.

The walls of the cold storage were thick enough, so the bug had little chance of forcing its way out. Furthermore, it was inside the association, so any noise it made would inevitably alert all the experts in the temple.

But if I remember correctly, Wang Yuanchao said that people from the Yuzhou Mountain Hunting Association would come to take away Zhang Guohua's body today. This might be its chance to escape.

There was no signal in the underground palace, so Wang Yuanchao could not be contacted directly. However, just on the way to Miaoshu Palace, Chen Yang had already informed Niu Jincao of what had happened through the Shanyu Seal, and asked Niu Jincao to notify Wang Yuanchao and others.

It would be best if Xuanqing could come out and take charge, so that Zhang Guohua's body cannot be left.
……

He didn’t know what the Three Corpses Divine Tree and Xuan Jing said, but his expression became increasingly uglier.

He looked down at the worms in the bowl, his face turned red as if he had been fooled.

I was actually fooled by a bug?
Is there any reason for this?

If this gets out, won't the younger generations laugh at us?
Xuan Jing clenched his fists. His temper flared up and he wanted to vent, but he had nowhere to vent. He quickly recited a calming mantra to suppress the anger growing in his chest.

The Three Corpse God Tree said, "It's not difficult to prove the identity of this insect. Although this medicine Gu is also in the Dao Realm, don't you find that its IQ is very low? Without the host, it's difficult to communicate with it..."

"Okay, stop talking."

Xuan Jing held her forehead with her hand and said, "I feel like my IQ is very low now."

Even a powerful person in the Daozhen realm felt his blood pressure soaring at this moment.

When I caught this bug in the mountains yesterday, I had some communication with it, but I didn't think it had a low IQ at the time.

In other words, the one communicating with him at that time was the real Heavenly King Gu.

This bug is really cunning enough.

No wonder he tried to communicate with the bug last night but it didn't respond at all. He even thought the bug was aloof and had a strong personality.

As a result, they are all the same fucking chicken-fighting routines.

Chen Yang said, "Master, don't get angry. This is not our fault. No one would have thought that this bug would do this. I have asked Niu Wu to notify the temple. The bug should still be frozen in the association's cold storage..."

"Humph!"

If you say you won’t get angry, does that mean you won’t get angry?
Xuan Jing snorted coldly, turned the bowl over, and the insects were immediately shaken out.

"Shh!"

Xuan Jing slashed directly at him with a sword energy from his spirit.

"Oh!"

Fire splashed all over the insect, and the spiritual sword energy directly cut it away.

It was trapped in the bowl for a day and was dizzy when it came out. It was completely unprepared and had a cut on its body.

"Ho..."

After feeling the pain, the insect reacted and instinctively wanted to fly away.

Xuan Jing was so angry that he didn't dare to let it run away.

In an instant, three flowers emerged from Xuan Jing's head and quickly condensed into a 54th-grade golden lotus.

It’s a pity that Chen Yang has not cultivated the Buddha’s eye, wisdom eye, and heavenly eye, otherwise, he would be able to clearly see this shocking scene.

At this moment, he could only feel a destructive aura emanating from Xuan Jing.

But he had no idea where this aura came from.

The golden lotus chose the top of Xuan Jing's head and bloomed quickly, becoming two or three meters wide. An illusory figure sat cross-legged on the lotus platform.

The figure was only half a meter tall and looked exactly like Xuan Jing. He was glowing with golden light, like a Buddha descending to the earth.

"Buzz!"

The figure suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light shot out from them, heading straight for the [Medicine Gu].

At the same time, the insect seemed to sense the danger and a golden light burst out from its body.

However, the golden light shot out by Xuan Jing cut through its body, and the golden light on the insect was instantly annihilated.

The next second, the insect seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow. It flew for a distance like a headless fly and fell to the ground.

The power of the soul!

This monk has such a bad temper that he is willing to use his spiritual power.

In the realm of Dao Zhen, the physical body can be easily destroyed, but the soul is hard to be destroyed.

If you want to destroy the primordial spirit, you can either bombard it with lightning or fire, or expose it to the scorching sun, or you can only use the primordial spirit to destroy it.

As long as your soul is strong enough and you don't care about your own consumption, you can use the power of your own soul to destroy the opponent's soul.

Of course, doing so would be extremely costly.

Moreover, it would be fine if the opponent's soul is weaker than yours. If the opponent's soul is stronger than yours, then there is no doubt that you will be the one to be killed.

Although the Yuanshen has extremely powerful attack power, the strong people in the Daozhen realm rarely use the Yuanshen unless they are in a critical moment.

It is not easy to cultivate the Yuanshen. Once it is consumed, I don’t know how long it will take to replenish it.

Xuan Jing was also very angry and was determined to kill the bug.

After the attack, the little soul in the lotus pedestal became noticeably dimmer.

Xuan Jing quickly took it back into her body.

At this time, Chen Yang had already stepped forward, raised the Chixiao Sword, and stabbed at the insect that had fallen to the ground and was still struggling.
