Chapter 988 Three Corpse Worms

Fan Jiannan and others visited Zhao Gongming, although Zhao Gongming also put forward some opinions from his own perspective.But the identity of the mysterious witchcraft remains a mystery.

Zhao Gongming believed that this person must have something to do with the ancient alchemists, but Fan Jiannan was skeptical about it, and he believed that this person should be a wizard.But neither of them had sufficient evidence to prove their point.After all, they have too little information at hand, and most of them are guesses based on the dictation of the great voodoo wizard.

When they were a little confused, Fan Jiannan's cell phone rang suddenly.He picked it up and looked at it, he was slightly taken aback, frowned and said, "It's Long Bold's call."

"He knew we were here, why did he call suddenly, is there something going on in the Tianji Hall?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

Fan Jiannan shook his head and connected the phone, "Hey, bold, what's the matter?"

"Jiannan, you'd better come here with Lawyer Zhao." Long boldly spoke in a difficult voice, as if his voice was hoarse due to nervousness.

"What's going on? What happened to the Tianji Hall?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"It's nothing. Everything is fine, but I've discovered something. I can't say a few words. Let's talk about it when you come back." Long boldly added, "You better come back as soon as possible."

Fan Jiannan frowned slightly, he could hear that Long Bold had hung up the phone.He also felt a little strange. They didn't have much time to leave the Tianji Pavilion. Could it be that during this time, Long Boldly discovered some important information?Judging by his tone, the situation seemed serious.Although Long Bold didn't say it clearly, Fan Jiannan clearly felt that what he was going to say might be related to the witch they were chasing.

He turned around and said, "Long Boldly is telling us to go back. He seems to have discovered something new. Lawyer Zhao, is it convenient for you to go there together?"

Zhao Gongming waved his hand and said, "The previous life master has been kind to me. Since this matter is related to him, I have no reason to stand by. As long as I can find out this matter, it will be convenient for me at any time."

Fan Jiannan nodded, and left Zhao Gongming's residence with Feng Yuan, An Tong, the great wizard and others, and returned to the Tianji Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the Tianji Hall, Fan Jiannan found Long Bold, and asked, "You were in such a hurry just now, what happened?"

Long boldly said slowly, "It's good that you are back. I have something to tell you. Maybe our judgment was wrong from the beginning. The person who attacked Zuo Xiang and the great voodoo wizard was not a Malay. wizard."

Fan Jiannan and Zhao Gongming looked at each other, they also had similar views.But Fan Jiannan still asked tentatively, "What did you find?"

Long Boldly took out a bottle, put it in front of them, and said calmly, "I took it out of Zuo Xiang's body."

Fan Jiannan saw a thread-like worm wriggling inside the bottle.He frowned slightly and said, "Parasite... no, could it be a kind of Gu?"

Long boldly nodded and said, "You are smart. This is indeed a kind of Gu insect, and it is not an ordinary species. You can tell that even adults of this kind of Gu insect are very slender. Because they are probably used as air Spreading, laying Gu on people. The eggs of this Gu insect are very small and can travel short distances with the air."

"Oh, since this kind of insect eggs can float with the air, why can they only travel short distances?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Long boldly smiled and said, "Because this kind of Gu insect is very delicate, it needs to be spread when the temperature and humidity are suitable. Otherwise, it can't survive for a few minutes in the sun."

Fan Jiannan was startled suddenly, turned his head and said to Zhao Gongming, "That makes sense. The strange mist encountered by the Great Wizard and Prime Minister Zuo happened to be in the absence of sunlight and the temperature and humidity were suitable. Use the smoke from the Haze School The method of laying Gu on people is not only secretive but also hard to guard against. If this is the case, then the mysterious witch should be using Gu to control Zuo Pang."

"It is indeed possible." Zhao Gongming nodded.

Long boldly shook his head and said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid the facts will disappoint you. Although this person uses Gu, it is not an ordinary Gu. The Gu insect you just saw is called corpse. "

"Teacher?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"No, it's a corpse." Long boldly said slowly.

"Three Corpse Worms!" Before Fan Jiannan could speak, Zhao Gongming suddenly changed his expression, "This is the Three Corpse Worms!"

Long boldly nodded and said, "That's right. Lawyer Zhao is really insightful. These are the three corpses who were once revered as gods in ancient times. The three corpses are also called San Peng or the God of Three Corpses. Taoism believes that there are three worms in the human body. They are called the upper corpse, the middle corpse, and the lower corpse, which live in the upper, middle and lower dantians respectively. The three corpses refer to the three corpse gods of Taoism: the corpse, the meaning of the god. Taoism believes that the human body has three upper, middle and lower dantians, each with a The gods reside in it, collectively referred to as the "three corpses". It is said that the surname of the three corpses is 'Peng', the name of the upper corpse is 'ju', the name of the middle corpse is '踬', and the name of the lower corpse is 'Ji'."

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "What is this mess?"

Zhao Gongming explained, "This is a Taoist saying. That is to say, this kind of Gu worm not only existed in ancient times, but also was called the Three Corpse Gods in ancient times, with a very high status. People's cranky thoughts can make people dizzy, hair loss, not only common with others, not only hearing someone talking, but also no one around, driving people crazy, committing suicide or attacking or hurting others, that is, mental illness; In the stomach of a person, he makes you eat delicious food, make you forgetful, and make you do bad things. He can talk with people and make people feel that someone is talking to him, which leads to mental illness. Tell you to be lustful, greedy, and murderous."

Long boldly said slowly, "Although these are just legends, it just proves from another aspect that this kind of Gu worm can control people's thoughts and behaviors. Of course, this requires an extremely skilled Gu technique expert."

Fan Jiannan looked at the filamentous worm in Long Bold's bottle, and couldn't help frowning, "Why have I never heard of this kind of Gu worm? Besides, this little Gu worm can control people?"

"It's because you haven't studied it carefully, but I bet you must have heard of the three corpses." Long boldly said slowly, "There is an idiom in ancient times called the three corpses violent jump. It refers to this kind of insects. Imagine Zuo Xiang's irritable performance before he fell asleep."

Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "So, there really are such Gu worms? I always thought that the so-called three corpses in Taoism were just a metaphor. I didn't expect that there are real things. Then do you know who is good at using this kind of Gu worms? Maybe we can follow the clues to find this person."

Long boldly and calmly said, "Generally speaking, people from the Li family are famous for using Gu. But these three corpses are an exception. Because this kind of Gu technique has long been lost. Even the Li family is the same, although they are known as Gu It is impossible for a family of arts to master this technique. Although the Golden Silkworm Gu King is known as the king of Gu, how can he be compared with the three corpses? If you want to find someone who can control the three corpses, I advise you to stop If you think about it, you won't find it at all."

Feng Yuan murmured, "The identity of this person is really difficult to guess. First he was an alchemist of the Yanxia sect, and then he was a wizard who was proficient in witchcraft. Now he actually knows such a powerful Gu technique. Could it be that he deliberately wanted to confuse our judgment? ?”

Zhao Gongming stood up suddenly, walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, and said with a frown, "Hmph, it's a pity that no matter how well this person conceals himself, he still showed his flaws in the end. If you are an ordinary person, you will really be deceived by him." It's over. I know a little about the three corpses."

"Oh? Does Lawyer Zhao know of anyone who can control this weird Gu worm?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Zhao Gongming shook his head and said, "Actually, what Long boldly said just now is true, the so-called three corpses. What he refers to is not one kind of insects, but three kinds. Among these three kinds of Gu insects, the above corpses are the most expensive, and their power is the highest." The biggest. If this sorcerer can control the corpse worm, then he has truly achieved complete control. The controlled person can do all the things that normal people can do. But according to your description, although the person controlled by this kind of witchcraft can They can move freely, but they don't have the ability to speak. So I concluded from this that the three corpses they used were medium corpses."

Long boldly nodded and said, "That's right, I took this Gu worm out of Zuo Xiang's torso. As far as its distribution is concerned, it should belong to the middle corpse."

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "Why did you conclude that it was a dead body?"

Zhao Gongming said slowly, "Because people controlled by this kind of witchcraft can move freely and use magic power. It's just that they don't have the ability to think. Therefore, it is more in line with some characteristics of the corpse worm."

"Then what if it's a corpse worm?" Fan Jiannan was puzzled. "Is it possible that their ability to act will be lower and slower?"

Zhao Gongming glanced at him and said, "Have you ever heard of Xiangxi Chasing corpses? Chasing corpses is a legendary magic that can drive corpses to walk. It belongs to a kind of Gu art of the Miao nationality and is a part of Chu Wu culture. But these things are unknown to outsiders. Although it seems magical and weird in the eyes, it is nothing more than a trick worth mentioning in the eyes of us practitioners. That kind of exorcism is the most superficial method of lowering corpses. The lower corpses live in the legs of the human body, so control this kind of insects At the time, the controlled person was in a state of upper body stiffness. This is the legend that the driven corpses were all jumping."

Fan Jiannan suddenly realized, "So there is such a saying. Then do you know anyone or what Gu technique can control the dead insects?"

Zhao Gongming said slowly, "I really know one. But this person should have passed away a long time ago, and even he can't control the corpse worm so perfectly."
