Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 42 Poisonous Spider

Yan Sanniang chatted with Gu Mo for a long time.
However, what made Gu Mo a little strange was that the system had not yet issued any related tasks regarding the wanted Zhuo Qingfeng.

According to Gu Mo's understanding of the system,

There is only one reason for this situation, that is, Zhuo Qingfeng does not meet the conditions for being wanted. Either the government has not yet completely convicted Zhuo Qingfeng, or there is something else hidden in this matter about Zhuo Qingfeng.

"I refuse this ghostwriting mission," Gu Mo said. "If Zhuo Qingfeng really betrayed the Six Gates and did that, he must have taken every possible measure. It's not certain we'll ever find him. The government hasn't issued a warrant yet, so things might change."

Yan Sanniang nodded and said, "That's true. However, this matter is indeed quite sad. That's Zhuo Qingfeng, the Swift Wind Detective. He used to be the one who issued wanted notices for others, but now there has to be such a day."

“It’s quite unbelievable.”

Although Yan Sanniang said that it was basically certain that Zhuo Qingfeng had betrayed the Six Gates, Gu Mo still didn't quite believe it.

Although he and Zhuo Qingfeng had only spent two or three days together at the Wang family, he had a very good impression of Zhuo Qingfeng. He was a straightforward person who spoke and acted without beating around the bush. He was very straightforward, and his hatred of evil did not seem to be fake.

……

Things are just as Yan Sanniang said.
In just a few days, Zhuo Qingfeng's betrayal of the Six Gates became a hot topic, and the entire Yunzhou martial arts world was in an uproar. The incident was so sensational that it directly overshadowed the incident of Silver Fox assassinating Wang Yuanbao.

After all, Zhuo Qingfeng, the Swift Detective, is the representative figure of the Six Gates in Yunzhou. He is a man who single-handedly changed the landscape of the Linjiang County martial arts world. He has an excellent official reputation and can almost be regarded as a synonym for "justice" in the martial arts world.

Such a person betrayed the Six Gates and killed his colleagues for the sake of treasure, which made people angry, hateful and regretful. For a time, the world of martial arts was in turmoil, and the value of the Wood King's treasure rose again.

Many famous people in the underworld have said that they want to hunt down Zhuo Qingfeng, and many have taken actual action. However, Zhuo Qingfeng is a very strange person, and he is not someone who can be easily caught. He has appeared several times, and although he was surrounded and blocked, he finally managed to escape.

For a time, both the black and white gangs in the martial arts world began to look for Zhuo Qingfeng, whether for the purpose of justice or because they coveted the token of the Wooden King's treasure on Zhuo Qingfeng.

Zhuo Qingfeng single-handedly shook up the entire Yunzhou underworld.

The Yunzhou Provincial Government also issued a wanted order.

With just one move, he set the bounty on Zhuo Qingfeng at three thousand taels, the same amount as that of the Silver Fox, the most popular killer in Yunzhou.

but,
Gu Mo became even more certain that there was another hidden story behind the incident with Zhuo Qingfeng.

Because he still hasn't received the system's task,

This means that according to the system's assessment, Zhuo Qingfeng does not meet the conditions for a wanted criminal.

Gu Mo's [Ghostwriter System] issues tasks based not on government orders, but on its own set of assessment criteria, which requires it to verify that the crimes committed by the wanted person are true.

At the beginning, Gu Mo even thought about exploiting the bug in the system. After all, if the system determined that the wanted criminal was from the government, then he could find a way to enter the government, or control the high-ranking officials of the government to issue bounty tasks at will, and then he could easily complete the tasks and get rewards.

However, the system evaluation conditions are clearly marked in the system usage details, so the bug cannot be fixed.

……

"Brother, are you going to catch Zhuo Qingfeng?"

"No." In the yard, Gu Mo was instructing Gu Chudong in practicing swordsmanship and correcting Gu Chudong's mistakes in using his strength.

Gu Chudong followed Gu Mo's instructions, maintaining the same posture and repeatedly making the sword-swinging motion. As he swung his sword, he asked, "Why not go? If you can capture Zhuo Qingfeng, you'll be truly famous in the martial arts world. No one will ever question your status as the gold medal ghostwriter again."

Gu Mo shook his head and said, "There must be something else going on with Zhuo Qingfeng's matter."

"Do you trust Zhuo Qingfeng so much?" Gu Chudong asked in confusion.

Gu Mo smiled without explaining. He was not familiar with Zhuo Qingfeng, so it was not a matter of trust. He just believed in the system.

"Actually, I also think Zhuo Qingfeng might have been wronged," Gu Chudong said. "During the few days I spent with the Wang family, I felt that Zhuo Qingfeng was a very upright person. Moreover, his apprentice died at the hands of the Silver Fox, and the Silver Fox was sent by the descendants of the Wood King. This means he has a grudge against them. Why would he choose to cooperate with them?"

Gu Mo smiled and said, "Is it possible that he endured humiliation and gained the trust of the descendants of the Wood King, and then waited for an opportunity to avenge his apprentice?"

"That's unlikely," Gu Chudong said, "He doesn't seem like he would go to such lengths to kill his colleagues just to get revenge, right?"

Gu Mo nodded slightly and said, "It's unlikely."

"Oh, brother," Gu Chudong said, "Boss Yan sent someone to tell me this morning that she has found the whereabouts of the evil master, the poisonous spider. We should be able to get a clear clue within the next day or two. Brother, do you really want to take this mission? This poisonous spider is not easy to deal with!"

The poisonous spider is not a spider, but a person, a master of poison who is very famous in the Yunzhou martial arts world. This person's method of using poison is very sophisticated and hard to guard against. Many famous masters in the martial arts world have fallen into his hands, including Gu Mo, who has suffered a great loss at his hands.

Gu Mo was blinded by the poisonous spider.

That time, he participated in a escort mission of the Changfeng Escort Agency as a bodyguard. There were actually many masters of the Changfeng Escort Agency traveling with him, and there were two escort leaders. As a result, they encountered a poisonous spider and were all knocked down.

Gu Mo was specially taken care of by the poisonous spider.
Because, at that time, Poison Spider was cooperating with a group of bandits, and Gu Mo, a young man, was not taken seriously. It was precisely that contempt that made Gu Mo realize that Poison Spider was poisoning him from behind during the fight, so he took a knife and chopped him.

With Gu Mo's skill at that time, even if the Poison Spider didn't use poison, Gu Mo would not be his opponent. However, the Poison Spider was very angry because he didn't take Gu Mo and his gang seriously at all, but he was discovered, which made him feel very embarrassed.

After all, as a master of poison, even if he was just poisoning someone casually, he couldn't let an unknown person see through it. That would be an insult to him.

So, he poisoned Gu Mo's eyes.
He didn't kill Gu Mo, but instead destroyed Gu Mo's eyes, simply to vent his dissatisfaction with Gu Mo seeing him poisoning him.

some days ago,
Yan Sanniang sent a list of wanted criminals, and Gu Chudong saw the name of Du Zhuzi on it. Gu Mo became interested and asked Yan Sanniang to pay special attention to it.

However, Gu Chudong had a shadow in her heart. Although she knew that Gu Mo's martial arts were different from before, she was worried when she thought of the poisonous spider. The poisonous spider's poisonous skills were recognized by the martial arts world as extraordinary, and Gu Mo had suffered a great loss at the hands of the poisonous spider.

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

Gu Mo did not feel too much pressure about the poisonous spider. The Nine Yang Divine Art had the characteristic of being immune to all poisons. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it could indeed make one immune to most poisons. For warriors who were into poison, it had a very strong restraining power.

"Oh, by the way, Chu Dong, have you ordered the steel balls?"

"It's settled. The blacksmith will deliver it tomorrow. Brother, is that for practicing the Finger Magic?"

"Well, it's also used as a weapon."
