Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

【Gu Insect. Fixed Immortal Journey】

[Introduction: A rare companion creature of the Witch Clan, possessing spatial abilities, capable of short-distance teleportation (Note: the destination must perfectly match the mental image; significant deviations will result in failure), distance (growth potential).]

[Type: Companion Gu Worm]

As Su Mu picked up the strange, bright green butterfly that had fallen to the side, a system notification appeared before his eyes again.

The form of "Dingxianyou" is a delicate emerald butterfly with large wings. Its body is as smooth and warm as jade, and its four wings are like thin glass gauze. The wings are covered with fine and mysterious rune-like patterns, and its body is surrounded by a faint emerald light.

The butterfly has a delicate and elegant body, compound eyes like clear green crystals, and six long and slender legs.

As Su Mu was examining the strange butterfly, he suddenly felt a small butterfly biting his finger.

hiss.

Su Mu retracted his tongue and frowned.

Can the witch's body also be damaged by this little guy's bites?

Followed by.

The system indicated a blurry, shaky motion before finally settling on a judgment.

The original "Butterfly. Immortal Seed" has been changed to the current "Gu Insect. Immortal Seed".

Su Mu was stunned.

He didn't know if the ancient witch clans had similar symbiotic worms that appeared after obtaining the aura of witches or consuming the blood of witches.

But he knew the origin of the name of this Gu worm.

"Haven't you heard that there's always a way out..."

"A cold wind blows through the desolate valley, the chanting of Zen echoes as the youth returns, tears fall from the stone statue deep within the soul-stirring depths, and the immortals wander as demons head north!"

"Settle into Immortal Realm!"

Su Mu, who was inadvertently reciting a quote from a poem, once again focused his gaze on "Gu Insect. Immortal Journey".

That's right.

Isn't this the same Gu worm that "fixes the immortal journey" from the poem "Poetry determines the immortal's journey northward" in the book of the Great Love Celestial Venerable?

In the book, this immortal traveler accompanied the "Great Benevolence, Great Love, Great Compassion, and Great Mercy" Immortal Venerable Fang for a long time, and was an extraordinary Gu!

The emerald green butterfly regained its energy after consuming the blood of the sappanwood.

It fluttered gracefully around Su Mu, finally landing on his shoulder.

This amazing scene also drew the attention of Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong to Su Mu.

"What a beautiful butterfly." Er Yuehong smiled and reached out to pick the Dingxianyou butterfly.

puff~

A green glow quickly appeared around the little green butterfly.

next moment.

Su Mu, his face pale, stood in the aisle of the carriage, his brows furrowed.

This little guy actually took him on a spatial journey right in front of Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong!

Su Mu subconsciously looked down.

As expected, he was completely naked, carrying nothing with him as he traversed the space.

This is the design of this directional swimming worm.

This was also the most awkward moment for Su Mu.

on the seat.

Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong were stunned, staring at Su Mu who had vanished from his seat into thin air.

Su Mu looked at the Immortal-Traveling Butterfly Gu Worm on his shoulder: "?"

whoosh-

As it happened, the South China region is mountainous, and the tin train sped into the dark, pitch-black tunnel.

The metal train was still making a clanging sound as it moved along.

Using his teleportation ability, Su Mu, who had already moved to the passageway next to Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong, quickly put on his clothes.

Er Yuehong: "What was that just now?"

Busy getting dressed, the voice rang out from across the room. Su Mu, who was still in his original spot, exclaimed, "What?"

Er Yuehong frowned: "Uh, no, just now, Buddha?"

"..."

As time passed, Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong remained silent.

It's impossible that both of them were mistaken, right?

Or is it really just an illusion caused by the alternating light and shadow?

Su Mu did not appear to have left his position, nor did he actually disappear.

It was only because of the darkness of the tunnel and the lack of lights in the carriage that I felt a sense of disorientation.

Or could it be that I'm seeing things?

After quickly tidying his clothes, Su Mu, looking like an honest man with his eyes downcast and mind at ease, glanced at Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong's actions out of the corner of his eye as the train passed through the tunnel and was covered by the thick glow of the setting sun.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that both of them seemed confused but did not make any exaggerated statements.

The last time Dijiang Zuwu used spatial teleportation, it almost scared Huo Xian'er to death.

Now, this symbiotic Gu worm has appeared once again in front of people.

"I need to use the restroom, please make way."

"But you're really strong. Does the heavens and earth not suppress you at all? You traversed a distance of ten meters in one go, and it looked like it was effortless."

"Do you know another Gu worm called Spring and Autumn Cicada? Is that also a companion Gu worm of the Witch Clan?"

"Oh, you can't speak."

"Indeed, people need to get out and about more often. If you stay in Changsha all the time, how could you expect to have such an extraordinary encounter?"

Su Mu walked to the restroom in the compartment of the carriage, a smile on his lips, his excitement overflowing.

"What's wrong with you two?"

A familiar figure suddenly appeared, finally finding the carriage and coming to Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong's side.

Zhang Qishan's lips twitched slightly: "I also want to ask you, you said we'd go together, where did you go?"

The man wearing glasses and a blue long gown scratched his head: "Ahem, we got on the wrong carriage. You told the adjutant you had something to do and asked me to get on first. Who knew which carriage you got on? I waited for you at the station for ages. I got sleepy and just got on the train to sleep."

"Mmm." Zhang Qishan shut his mouth and made way for the man in the blue shirt and glasses who had suddenly appeared.

"Greetings, Second Master."

"So it's Eighth Master."

"..."

Qi Tiezui's sudden appearance drew the attention of Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong.

In the blink of an eye, the two seemed to have stopped thinking about why Su Mu could disappear into thin air, and how he managed to do so.

……

Changsha Old Tea Street.

The thick, golden light of the setting sun also shone on the streets of the old tea street.

A group of unfamiliar-looking thugs, each wielding a long knife, strode into the old tea street.

Upon seeing this, the teahouses on both sides immediately closed their shops, which already had few customers.

The tea vendors quickly packed up their sacks of tea leaves and ran outside with their heads down.

It's getting dark soon.

Murders are common in Changsha after dark.

The teahouses on both sides were closed.

Qi Tiezui's brothel was not open today.

Therefore, the purpose of the visitor becomes very clear.

Zhenxian Temple.

In front of the Zhenxian Temple shop, the bearded uncle and others sitting on the straw-covered wooden horse and pretending to be tea vendors also saw the newcomers and drew their swords from where they had hidden them.

Those who come are not benevolent; the benevolent do not come.

"The patrol soldiers have been tied up in the north of the city by our men and won't be here for a while."

"We can start now."

"kill."

"..."

Inside the Zhenxian Temple shop, there were only a few scattered people, as those sent by Su Mu to learn skills had not yet returned.

Most of them lacked combat skills and could only instinctively wield long swords.

Moreover, the number of people who came was much larger, more than ten times the normal number.

"Senior Partridge Whistle."

The bearded man wiped his long sword and addressed the three men, including Partridge Whistle, who were sitting in the shop.

"When the boss comes back, remember to tell him that none of us are cowards, and ask him to help take care of our families after we pass away."

"What are you all waiting for? Do you really want these people to smash up the owner's shop before we take action?!"

Everyone knows that Su Mu's golden protective spell only provides one chance to save their lives; they are not invincible.

The enemies before them could be drowned by a single spit from any one of them.

"The patrol team was lured away, right?"

The sound of footsteps echoed at the entrance of the old tea street, accompanied by the nonchalant voice of the leader.

"When handling affairs at the Nine Gates, idlers should stay away."

"Men, block off all the nearby streets. Don't let even a fly get in or out."

"The Buddha has ordered that anyone who has caused trouble in the old tea street these past few days should be killed without exception."

"Chen Pi, you've come here representing the Hong family too."

"Nonsense, wasn't it agreed before that the Buddha's word is law, and the Nine Gates will respond? Besides, this is also my master's order."

"Oh ho, it's rare to see the Hong family getting involved too."

"This, isn't this Sixth Master... Sixth Master, you could have just sent some people over, why did you have to come in person?"

"Where are they?! I'm asking you where the troublemakers are!"

"Please go ahead, front, front, please go first."

"..."
