"Just like Gu Yidao, Murong Feng hired someone to extract a large amount of his soul. I only need to feel his pulse to detect it. But for Xiaochi, I can't detect any internal injuries on him."
Nangong Yu frowned and said, "Xi'er, I believe you must know that a normal person has three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are divided into the main soul, the awakening soul and the life soul. The awakening soul is responsible for a person's thoughts and wisdom. Once the awakening soul is devoured and the other two souls are retained, the person will retain the original vitality and have sensitive reaction ability, but will not be able to have wisdom like a human, let alone practice."
He Xi nodded, then immediately shook his head, "But I've never heard of any recorded method of extracting souls in ancient times that allows you to choose which of the three souls to extract?"
"That's true." Nangong Yu smiled coldly and said slowly, "It's true that the spell of extracting souls can't be done, but there is a sinister thing that can do it. I think Xi'er, you must be familiar with it."
"What is ..."
Before He Xi finished speaking, Nangong Yu spread out his hands, and a tiny red insect-like thing appeared in his palm.
He Xi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart felt like it was being yanked hard by someone, "Witchcraft!"
"That's right, witchcraft." Nangong Yu's expression was not much better than hers, and there was even an unremovable hostility and murderous coldness between his brows. "The insect Xiaochi was infected with should be a soul-eating insect. Soul-eating insects are usually cultivated in different types. Some like Yin souls, some like Yang souls, and some like the seven souls. People who raise insects can use different cultivation methods to let the soul-eating insects choose to devour different souls in the human body, but they will not damage the human body in the slightest."
"It's just..." Nangong Yu paused, "It's just that the process of raising this Gu worm is extremely difficult. During the period, the Gu worm is raised with human souls as nutrients. It is very likely that the lives of a city will be sacrificed to raise a soul-eating Gu."
He Xi took a breath of cold air. It was a poisonous insect. It was a poisonous insect again.
Last time at Broken Soul Mountain, she almost fell victim to this tiny poisonous insect. If Nangong Yu hadn’t arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Now, her only brother Xiaochi has been harmed by this spiritual poison again.
It seemed that she could no longer rely on her medical and poison skills to be careless. In this strange world, there were many things that could kill her. She had to be careful and find ways to deal with them.
He Xi couldn't help but say, "I remember you said last time that it is extremely difficult to cultivate a spiritual insect. The cost is so huge that it is definitely not something a small family or sect can afford. The last time Feng Lianying was able to produce a spiritual insect, could this also be related to the Feng family?"
Nangong Yu thought of the strange formation in Nalan Zhengze's study, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Maybe it was the Feng family, or maybe it was... someone more powerful. Besides, Xi'er, you got one thing wrong. The one who can raise Gu is not the Feng family, but the master of Qiandu Valley, who is also Feng Lianying's master."
The master of Thousand Poison Valley
He Xi frowned and looked at his brother who was sleeping on the bed. "Is the Soul Devouring Gu still in Xiaochi's body? Is there any way to take it out?"
"The soul-eating insect has been taken out long ago." Nangong Yu shook his head and said, "That's why your brother was able to keep some sense and recognize you. And although the soul-eating insect has different preferences, if it stays in a person's body for a long time, it will be hungry and will devour all the souls of the parasite. In that case, Xiaochi will not lose his mind, but become a soulless walking corpse." (To be continued)
