Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Is that all?"

Seeing Bei Chenwan suddenly vomit blood and faint, and then vomit a strange black and white fish, Lu Feng was also somewhat surprised.

"Well..!"

The next moment, before Lu Feng could think any further, a familiar hot and stinging sensation came from his dantian again.

Then, his consciousness returned, and he regained control of his body.

"Has my body regained sensation?"

"It seems the ancient power has been exhausted..."

Lu Feng habitually clenched his fist, a wave of emotion washing over him. "It's such a pity that the old man still refuses to pass on the Joy and Sorrow Finger Technique to me. I really don't know if he's just stingy or what he's thinking...!"

"Young Master Lu, stop standing there in a daze, come and take a look..."

Just as Lu Feng was inwardly complaining, Gu Canyang's reminder came from the side again.

A wisp of Gu Canyang's remnant soul hovered in the air, its eyes fixed on the ugly black and white monster fish rolling and jumping on the ground, as if it had figured something out.

"Ancient? What is this thing?"

His gaze was also drawn to the strange black and white fish on the ground, and Lu Feng was even more surprised. "Right, if I'm not mistaken, this ugly thing looks like it came out of Wan'er's belly, right?"

"Hmm, this is no ordinary fish, but a parasitic demonic gu called 'Soul-Controlling and Mind-Concealing Gu.'"

Nodding, Gu Canyang remained solemn and said, "At first, I wasn't quite sure, but after this woman killed someone and released mental illusions, I was certain that she wasn't a demonic corpse puppet, but a living person afflicted with the 'Soul-Controlling and Mind-Concealing Gu'..."

"As for the Soul-Controlling and Mind-Concealing Gu, its effects are also extremely powerful. Once this parasitic Gu is planted inside the human body, it can not only perfectly control the three souls and seven spirits of the person affected, but also conceal their mental consciousness. It is an extremely rare type of Gu..."

As Gu Canyang examined the strange black and white fish on the ground, he explained, "It seems that the demonic energy on this woman's body is merely a smokescreen. The Soul-Controlling and Mind-Concealing Gu within her is the true 'trump card.' However, there is still one thing I don't understand..."

"Why would the person behind this go to such lengths, instead of refining this woman into a more powerful demonic corpse puppet, and merely implanting a Soul-Controlling and Mind-Concealing Gu..."

"Well, if I had to guess, maybe that guy just forgot?"

Taking a step forward as well, Lu Feng tentatively asked.

"Hmph, impossible!"

With another cold snort, Gu Canyang rolled his eyes at Lu Feng, his tone somewhat speechless, "Not to mention the mastermind behind this is so meticulous in their planning and ruthless in their methods, even this little girl, Bei Chenwan, has been infected with a demonic Gu. To say she's forgotten is simply impossible...!"

"In my opinion, the person behind this must have some concerns, which is why they didn't kill Bei Chenwan and turn her into a demonic corpse puppet..."

"Alright! Old man, let's talk about something more serious than these trivial matters...!"

Hearing this, Lu Feng didn't want to delve any further and immediately changed the subject, saying, "From what you've said, this Soul-Controlling and Mind-Concealing Gu is so powerful that it can even control a person's three souls, seven spirits, and mental consciousness. Doesn't that mean that Miss Wan'er has already...?"

As Lu Feng spoke, he glanced at Bei Chenwan, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.

After all, the other party was also a person with a tragic fate. He clearly had a human heart and was unwilling to kill, but due to the demonic gu in his body, he was eventually turned into a killing machine that could be manipulated by others.

"Don't worry, this girl named Bei Chenwan is fine. Once the poison is removed, she will be able to wake up and return to normal..."

Seeing the regret on Lu Feng's face as well, Gu Canyang remained unhurried.

"this one?"

"It's not difficult at all!"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Feng, equally eager to fight, stepped forward, intending to crush the black and white fish on the ground. "Old Gu, let me handle this little matter!"

"No!"

Seeing Lu Feng's reckless actions, Gu Canyang frowned as well, and said in a deep voice, "If you forcibly remove the Gu poison by brute force, it will only backfire and may even cause the person afflicted with the Gu to die on the spot...!"

"Oh, this...!"

After being reprimanded by Gu Canyang, Lu Feng froze on the spot. Then, looking at the black and white fish writhing on the ground, he said weakly in a low voice, "Old Gu, what should we do next?"

"Simple, you just stand there and watch."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Canyang leisurely floated to the unconscious Bei Chenwan, then pressed one hand on her dantian acupoint and used the other hand to catch the black and white fish on the ground.

"The Gu follows the hearts of men; one prospers, all prosper; one suffers, all suffer. If the hearts of men are gone, what use is the Gu?"

Gu Canyang was seen chanting incantations as he channeled an invisible wisp of soul power into Bei Chenwan's dantian, seemingly performing some kind of mysterious ritual.

*Sizzle...!*

As Gu Canyang chanted these strange sutras, the black and white monster fish that had been rolling around gradually stopped jumping. The next moment, it tore into pieces and turned into a pool of blood, completely disappearing!

"Holy crap, this actually works?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng was also somewhat curious.

"Young Master Lu, this is the method of 'breaking the Gu'. It can perfectly eliminate the parasitic Gu, while also ensuring that the host will not suffer any backlash. You still have a lot to learn in the future..."

Gu Canyang glanced at Lu Feng, who was making a big fuss beside him, and shook his head slightly.

Although Bei Chenwan in front of him was not dead, but only unconscious, he used some kind of "anti-poisoning" method to put her into a brief state of "feigned death".

Because the parasitic gu has the special characteristic of "living and dying together" with its host, the moment Bei Chenwan entered the "feigned death" state, the black and white monster fish on the ground naturally lost its life force and eventually died on its own!

...

I don't know how much time has passed.

The underground chamber remained deathly silent.

Bei Chenwan, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the unfamiliar yet familiar scenery around her, she was stunned. "This is... the underground library of the Bei Chen clan?"

"Miss Wan'er, you're awake?"

Just as Bei Chenwan was filled with confusion, a gentle and easy-going male voice came from the side.

"Hehe, I apologize for any offense I may have caused you, Miss Wan'er, please don't take it to heart..."

The next moment, Lu Feng leaned over and grinned.

"Who...who are you?!"

Looking at Lu Feng, who looked completely unfamiliar, Bei Chenwan was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face was full of confusion, as if she had lost her past memories as the "Soul Control and Mind Concealment Gu" was lifted.

"The person afflicted by the curse can even forget their past memories?"

"As expected of the rare and powerful 'Soul-Controlling and Mind-Concealing Gu'..."

Seeing that Bei Chenwan didn't recognize him after waking up and had forgotten everything that had happened in the past, Lu Feng frowned slightly and sighed inwardly.
