Chapter 877 Departure
"So, Taoist priest, what you mean is that they are from southern Xinjiang?" Li Tianyun asked.

Li Ming shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Gu magic is widely known in the world, and this six-winged centipede is not considered an alien species. Someone with a keen eye can just spend some time and effort to find it. And according to what you said, that person is very afraid of the backlash from the six-winged centipede. This reminds me of another branch of Gu magic: growing living Gu!"

"Growing living Gu?"

For some reason, after hearing these three words, Li Tianyun felt a chill all over his body, cold sweat broke out on his back, and many terrifying and strange images emerged in his mind.

This is indeed the case, Li Ming spoke again slowly.

"This method is one of the most brutal in the art of Gu. After refining the larvae of the Gu worm, they feed them with essence and blood, and then plant them in a living person. The Gu worm will feed on the human's flesh and blood, and can also devour the host's essence. This allows the Gu worm to grow at an extraordinary speed. Moreover, if the Gu worm's master allows it, even the host can utilize the Gu worm's power, but it's not very obedient... In other words, after using it once, the Gu worm will become extremely ferocious and must devour large amounts of flesh and blood."

"As far as I know, this six-winged centipede should be called the Cold Weeping Gu. It's only in its juvenile stage now. Once it fully grows up, it will be able to breathe out cold air, fly through the sky and hide underground. It's very powerful!"

"What should I do?" Li Tianyun listened to Li Ming's description, and a feeling of anxiety emerged in his heart, as well as a fear of the unknown.

Li Ming just nodded and said, "No hurry, do you know why they left without staying for long?"

"I don't know, kid." Li Tianyun answered honestly.

"If this Cold Weeping Gu is activated by its host in its infancy, it will go berserk and must be fed with the blood of wild beasts. Otherwise, it will devour anyone it encounters, and the first one it will eat is its host!" Li Ming shook his head and said, "And its favorite food is tiger blood!"

"A tiger? But where did the tiger come from in our Gantian Town?" Li Tianyun was stunned, and then immediately thought of some rumors in the town.

Li Ming nodded and said, "Yes, a few days ago, a hunter in the mountains was injured by a tiger. I happened to be providing medical treatment and medicine, and he even came to my temple to ask for some medicine. You should know that it is on Qinghua Mountain!"

"Master, do you mean that this group of people went to Qinghua Mountain to hunt tigers in order to save their lives?" Li Tianyun asked.

Li Ming hummed and said, "In my opinion, that's probably the case. If you want to recover the things your parents left behind, there's no time to lose. Let's set off now!"

"But my aunt..." Li Tianyun hesitated.

But the door of his aunt's room creaked open, and Sun Sanniang was able to walk and stick her head out. Although her face was still very pale, it was obvious that Li Ming's medicine was very effective.

"Go quickly, don't worry about me. Taoist Wuxin's medicine is indeed extraordinary. I am fine now."

Sun Sanniang's words were a little weak, but her tone carried a hint of unquestionableness.

"That's the only thing your parents left behind. No matter what, we must get it back!"

"Aunt, are you okay?" Li Tianyun was stunned. He hadn't expected that Sun Sanniang, who had seemed on the verge of death just moments ago, could actually walk. Although she was supported by Liu Bicui, it was still incredible. "Thanks to Taoist Wuxin's medicine, it's truly miraculous. I'm just a little weak, but I'll be fine in a few days. Don't worry about me. What matters most is what your parents left for you!" Sun Sanniang nodded gently.

Li Ming also advised, "Sanniang, your new wound is easy to treat, but the old one requires rest. Although I have used medicine to reconnect your meridians, they are still very fragile. You can't get angry for at least three days. As for how you can recover in the future, it depends on your luck. But... no matter how bad it is, it will be better than before, right?"

Sun Sanniang smiled upon hearing this and said gratefully, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for the magic medicine. Otherwise... I'm afraid I would have lost my life."

Li Tianyun was very happy to see that Sanniang was indeed fine and said, "That's great. Auntie, you must take care of yourself. I will need you to help look after my grandson in the future!"

"You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? You haven't even gotten married yet, so how can I have a grandson to hold?" Sun Sanniang snorted coldly and shook her head, then cast a gentle gaze on Liu Cuibi.

"I don't ask you to be rich or famous, but as long as you can live in peace and have a small family of your own, that's enough."

As she spoke, she put Liu Cuibi's hand on her own hand, and pulled Li Tianyun's hand together, making Liu Cuibi blush and unable to utter a word.

Li Tianyun suddenly felt overwhelmed and said quickly, "Master, there is no time to lose. Let's set off quickly to prevent them from running away!"

Li Ming pointed with his finger, his smile full of meaning, then he bowed to Sun Sanniang, stood up and walked out without saying anything else.

Li Tianyun quickly followed, saying, "Master, do you need me to lend you two fast horses? It's still dozens of miles from here to Qinghua Mountain."

Li Ming just shook his head, then walked to the open space, slapped the Qiankun bag on his waist, and a green smoke floated out, then turned into a flying car in front of Li Tianyun.

"Ah...ah? What...what is this?" Li Tianyun opened his mouth wide, shocked. Although he had seen some weird and magical things in the past two days, he was still shocked when Li Ming, whom he often met on weekdays, suddenly did this.

Li Ming just shook his head and said, "These are just some small tricks, not worth mentioning. Hurry up and get in the car."

Having said that, when he successfully sacrificed the Four Yin Chariot to extract the essence of the four black horses and re-refine the two layers of restrictions, he still took advantage of the night to go out for a leisurely stroll.

Li Tianyun did not dare to delay and carefully climbed onto the Cloud-Treading Cart that Li Ming had refined. On the basis of the Four Yin Cart, Li Ming only added the functions of floating flying shield and illusion. To be honest, it had no defensive power at all and could only be used to travel. Others could knock down the Cloud-Treading Cart with a casual blow.

But it was only used as a means of transportation, and Li Ming didn't spend too much effort on it. Isn't it enough to have a flashy appearance?

He also boarded the car, then chanted something and released a magical power. The Cloud-Treading Car immediately became transparent. Under the admiring gaze of Li Tianyun, Li Ming controlled the Cloud-Treading Car to slowly rise into the air. The color completely disappeared in the air. Several auspicious clouds appeared under the four wheels, wrapping the Cloud-Treading Car and moving forward rapidly.
