Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 195 Five Poison Gu

In Europe, the Great Old Ones can be found everywhere.

In some remote places, you can suddenly see their twisted and strange figures. In some canyons, there are even two or three Old Ones squatting together, like several elephants squeezed in a teacup.

Such a high-density gathering completely violates the established common sense of the universe.

In the vast universe, even a galaxy cannot accommodate too many Old Ones. Their power beyond human comprehension determines that their distribution should be extremely sparse.

Today, the tiny Earth has become their "gathering place", and the hidden inside stories are enough to make those Old Ones who are accustomed to running rampant in the chaotic void shudder.

During the time when Mi Fangfang studied witchcraft in Europe, she had become accustomed to such bizarre scenes.

On the surface, the ground is a bustling world of humans, with people busy moving through the streets and alleys, leading seemingly ordinary lives.

But in fact, in the dark, damp, and foul-smelling sewers, the servants of the Old Ones, or even the Old Ones themselves, may be hiding at any time.

Those sewers are like a nest full of unknown fears. The occasional flash of strange light seems like evil eyes lurking in the darkness spying on the world.

No, the ground wasn't all full of people.

Mi Fangfang had seen with her own eyes squid-men covered with tentacles, mingling among human society without any scruples.

These squid people, relying on some kind of evil power, not only did not get noticed by humans, but they gradually became the superior ones, controlling wealth and power, while the humans around them were completely unaware and were still busy running around under their shadow.

But in Mi Fangfang's memory, the Old Ones had never appeared in the land of China. In her eyes, the land of China was like an undeveloped "blue ocean" full of infinite possibilities.

With a greedy desire for power, Mi Fangfang could not wait to return to Shenzhou and set her sights on the Governor of Huguang. She naively thought that she could easily succeed in this land without the interference of the Old Ones.

When Governor Jiang's "immortal soldiers" repelled her like thunder and nearly killed her, she realized that the land of China was far from being so simple.

The power of the "immortal soldiers" is so strong, and the status contained in them even exceeds that of Fuxing Hun Dun, which makes Mi Fangfang suddenly think of the legend of the Jade Emperor.

Those ancient texts emerged in her mind, recording the majesty and supreme status of the Jade Emperor.

Legend has it that the Jade Emperor lives in the Jinque Miluo Palace in Haotian. He has a solemn and majestic appearance and a supreme Dharma body. He rules over all the heavens, leads all the saints, dominates the universe, enlightens the heavens, follows the way of heaven, spreads the virtue of heaven, creates all things, saves all living beings, weighs the three realms, rules over all spirits, and saves countless people. He is the supreme god in heaven and the emperor of all heavens.

God above gods, king among gods, the supreme being!

She couldn't think about it too much. As soon as she did, Mi Fangfang would feel a chill down her spine.

She is familiar with the Necronomicon, proficient in many grimoires such as the Book of Eibon and the Pnaktic Manuscript, and considers herself to be the best among high-end witches.

But she never expected that the people of Shenzhou would play such a big game! They actually worshipped that person as the Jade Emperor!
They study the magic code and serve the Old Ones for power, and you worship the one who is the Jade Emperor, which is really... audacious!
Don’t you want to live?
What shocked her even more was that high officials of all dynasties worshipped the Jade Emperor. As long as they paid a certain "price", they could become the "immortal soldiers" of the Jade Emperor and gain the opportunity to live forever in the Jade Emperor Temple.

She finally understood why she had never seen the Old Ones on the land of China!
Niang Xipi!
This is not a "blue sea" at all, it's a "sea of blood"!
The witchcraft she learned abroad was no match for the "immortal soldiers" in China, which made Mi Fangfang feel unprecedentedly frustrated.

However, she did not give up. When she studied various classics, she found that there were often records of the art of suppressing victory and poisoning in the palace.

Could it be that only the local poison, magic power and Maoshan magic can deal with the "immortal weapons" on those officials?
In order to verify this idea, she repeatedly inquired about the news, and after careful discussion, she finally confirmed her idea. She realized that the power system of the land of China was completely different from that of the West, and perhaps only with the help of local secret techniques could she compete with the "immortal soldiers".

In Tanzhou, she met a young man who came to Tanzhou from the Miao village in western Hunan to work hard. Mi Fangfang successfully deceived the young man's witchcraft with sweet words and vows.

After learning the Gu technique, she discovered that there were actually many Old Ones hidden in the land of Shenzhou. However, they were hidden behind various "local names" and were difficult to detect.

Miao village witchcraft is based on the five poisons and is divided into five branches. Each branch corresponds to a poisonous substance, or in other words, corresponds to an Old One.

For example, the scorpion poison among the five poisonous poisons utilizes the power of the Old One Igolonak.

Igolonak's twisted, bloated body and its evil power that can cause people to fall into endless pain have become the source of the scorpion poison's power.

The Old One corresponding to the snake is Yig, the Old One corresponding to the centipede is Nutz Kahn, the Old One corresponding to the spider is Atlach-Nakea, and the Old One corresponding to the toad is Tsathoggua!

Since ancient times, in the Miao village, people who are proficient in one Gu technique are considered geniuses, and those who are proficient in two Gu techniques are considered peerless geniuses. As for people who are proficient in three or more Gu techniques, from ancient times to the present, there has never been one in the Miao village.

After learning this, Mi Fangfang couldn't help but feel deeply moved. The Old Ones clearly had their own unique names, but the people of Shenzhou worshipped them with other names and could even borrow their power.

Who is distorting whom?

Who the hell are the Old Ones?
Unfortunately, she didn't expect that the boy still had a trick up his sleeve and escaped from her curse.

She didn't know that the boy named A Ruo regarded her as the love of his life. The reason why he didn't teach Mi Fangfang the forbidden technique was not to keep it back, but because he was afraid that Mi Fangfang would be hurt.

The performance of forbidden techniques is often accompanied by immeasurable risks. If you are not careful, you will end up in an irretrievable situation.

Now, a huge shadow appeared behind Ah Ruo, which was distorted and hazy, bloated and decadent. Ah Ruo's hair had turned gray, and her eyes on her originally pale face were constantly bleeding black and red blood.

His body flew backwards uncontrollably in the air, as if being pulled by an invisible force, merging into the shadow and helping it to slowly solidify.

Then, a strange spell sounded.
