The man sitting next to Lin Yu took out a top-secret file and placed it on the table. It was stamped with a red ink seal, and then he respectfully pushed it in front of Fang Xiu. Fang Xiu moved his fingers and saw the file bag opened automatically.
As Fang Xiu watched, the other party explained to him, "A week ago, there were signs of a supernatural event in Dongnan County. I was sent to Dongnan County as an investigator to investigate. Then I found that many people in the hospital had a horrible poisonous sore on their bodies that looked like a human face. Although the local authorities immediately sounded an alarm and quickly isolated the area, they still failed to stop the spread of the disease."
"After investigation, we found that there are not only 123 infected patients with this type of human face carbuncle in the local area, but there are probably even more potential infected people scattered around the city who have not been counted."
Fang Xiu's face turned serious. "Plague? Infectious virus? It's not so easy for supernatural powers to spread like this. The root of supernatural power is spiritual power. It's not as simple as a virus that is derived from infection. It can only be spread through a little bit of hard work."
The other party immediately explained: "This poisonous boil is obviously caused by supernatural power, but it is not contagious. Each person is selected by the supernatural to receive magic. This Taoist power will seize the other person's soul and blood, and then turn the infected person into a dried corpse and die."
"Not long ago! I suddenly realized that I was also under the spell!"
Zhang Heming added: "He was right next to me at the time. When he was struck by the spell, there was no sign or indication. He was struck suddenly!"
Zhang Heming's face showed shame and anger: "This guy is looking for death!"
Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows: "He is so arrogant in China. When you sent an investigator over, he didn't hide or run away. Instead, he directly attacked the investigators you sent to investigate him. And in front of the Heavenly Master, isn't this a blatant provocation?"
However, what Fang Xiu was more interested in was that this spell not only worked on ordinary people, but also on extraordinary people. In this case, this spell was a bit scary.
Fang Xiu decided to take a look at this Taoist magic first. There happened to be a person who was hit by the magic here, so he didn't have to go to Dongnan County. "Let me see the traces of you being hit by the magic."
At this point, the investigator, who was in his early thirties, suddenly took off his coat and lifted up his T-shirt to reveal his back.
Fang Xiu moved his gaze over and saw that his back was covered with torn skin and flesh, forming a horrifying human face facing Fang Xiu. It looked disgusting and morbid. An ordinary person would probably shiver uncontrollably and get goose bumps all over his body after seeing this scene.
Fang Xiu finally understood what Zhang Heming meant when he said that this Taoist magic was similar to a death curse. This Taoist magic, which directly acts on the physical body from the soul level, is similar to a death curse? To be precise, it is more similar to Fang Xiu's later spells and Dahuan's curse rituals.
Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can still be killed by cursing, because this power does not act on reality at all, and ignores the real distance, but rather curses and kills from the soul level.
“Hahahahaha!”
As Fang Xiu and Zhang Heming looked at him, the man's face actually moved and he burst into wild laughter for a moment.
A black smoke invisible to the naked eye spread out from the human face, and a terrifying and evil power surged, choosing its prey, revealing its desire to devour flesh and souls.
The investigator's face showed an expression of extreme pain, and his distorted face made a greedy laugh.
"Suck!" Then the man with black smoke made a strange sound, as if he was sucking something.
"Ah! It hurts! It hurts again!" The investigator's face suddenly turned pale. Although he tried his best to suppress the power of the human-faced sore, he could not stop the other party from using him as food. The power of the human-faced sore continued to grow, while he continued to become weaker.
What's even more terrifying is that this human face is not only attached to his back, but also imprinted on his soul and integrated into it, as if it had become a part of his soul. Trying to peel off this Taoist magic that has almost merged with him from the soul level is equivalent to tearing his soul in half.
No wonder even Zhang Heming felt he didn't know where to start, let alone how to get rid of this sinister and vicious Taoist magic.
Fang Xiu's eyes changed, becoming extremely sharp in an instant, and he shook his sleeves, and saw more than a dozen talismans forming a circle.
A dozen witches and spirits poked their bodies out of the talismans at the same time, and instantly, like white candles, they illuminated the entire quiet room in white.
In the huge quiet room, one could see the shadows of ghosts and gods moving around Fang Xiu, chanting incantations silently with him, and even their movements were exactly the same.
Lin Yu was shocked again by the scene he saw last time. At that time, Fengdu threw out talismans in the same way, suppressing Albert, allowing him to go to the sky and into the earth without anywhere to escape, and stepped on him like a grasshopper.
"Isolate the secrets of heaven and calculate!"
"Hide your spiritual perception!"
Zhang Heming was frightened and at a loss what to do. It was the first time he saw this ability that could conceal and block the mysteries of heaven and numbers. This meant that the inheritance he had obtained and the power of the Dayan Divine Pearl would be suppressed to the extreme in front of Fengdu.
However, at this moment, Fang Xiu used this Taoist magic more to cut off the caster's perception of the investigator.
A dozen witches and ghosts formed a spiritual formation at the same time, covering the entire quiet room. White rays of light wandered and passed through the quiet room. Fang Xiu and a dozen ghosts and gods looked up.
At this moment, all that was seen was that the pupils and whites of Guishen and Fang Xiu's eyes had lost their pupils, and white light was emitting. They looked at the investigator, and saw black smoke rising from the investigator's body.
His body suddenly became transparent, revealing his soul and the strange existence attached to his soul and flesh.
At this moment, the terrifying creature attached to his body seemed to feel the pressure of death, and it let out a shrill wail, desperately absorbing the investigator's spiritual power and flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, the other party's eyes turned black, and the flesh and blood disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cheekbones on his face were suddenly exposed.
"Clang!" Chains emerged from the witch's body and locked the quiet room from all sides, like a solid wall.
Strong black smoke spiritual power vibrated out and spread outside the quiet room. The black smoke power lashed around the room like a whip, making a deafening roar. More than a dozen ghosts and gods locked the struggling power tightly, and not a single bit of it leaked out.
Fang Xiu flicked his fingers and threw out a talisman. The paper talisman floated past like a leaf and immediately intervened in the boundary between yin and yang. It ignored the opponent's flesh and blood and penetrated into the opponent's soul, wrapping up the terrifying existence attached to the opponent.
The talisman wrapped around the existence emitting thick black smoke and strong magical fluctuations rolled out. Fang Xiu stretched out his hand and let the rolled up talisman fall into his palm.
I only saw that within the talisman on the palm of my hand, the black smoke twisted and condensed, and finally turned into a strange and creepy human-faced insect the size of a green bean, with a human face and wings on its back. As it hissed, thick smoke surged between its wings, and the power it emitted reached the first level.
As the insect escaped, a large amount of black blood flowed from the investigator's back, but his face slowly became rosy. After Lin Yu took out a box of injections and gave him an injection, he slowly recovered.
"Is everything okay? Did you really make contact?" He looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief. He didn't have much hope before. After all, Zhang Heming, who was as famous as Fang Xiu, was also helpless against this kind of Taoist magic. He didn't expect that it could be removed so easily at this moment.
"Gu? Human-faced Gu?" Fang Xiu showed an expression of some interest. This power has already gone out of its own path and belonged to another school. Moreover, the technique and power of refining the Gu worm not only involved the magic of the immortal way, but also the magic of the witch priest school and the bloodline supernatural power of the demon way.
Moreover, this genius-like style and idea gave Fang Xiu a lot of inspiration.
It also loosened up Fang Xiu's rigid thinking, which was currently stuck at the fourth level. Although it didn't lead to an epiphany for Fang Xiu, it gave him a lot of ideas. It seemed that going out for a walk and looking around did help.
"Do you know Fengdu?" Zhang Heming didn't expect that Fang Xiu seemed to know this kind of thing.
"When I passed by the southern part of the Mountain and Sea Realm, I saw a Gu Master in the Ming Country beside the Shiwan Mountains who treated people. No matter what the disease was, as long as the blood was used to feed the Gu worms given by the Gu Master, after seventy-four or nine days, the disease would naturally transfer to the Gu worms, and the person would be devoured by the Gu worms and healed without medicine. People in the nearby villages all called him the Gu God."
What Fang Xiu said was the truth, but he did not care about this little thing at the time. He just thought it was an ordinary cultivator. He passed by in a hurry without seeing the cultivator, and he did not know whether he was a cultivator from the present world or a creature from the Mountain and Sea Realm. Now it seems that this is a person from the present world.
"This is not a spiritual insect from the Mountain and Sea Realm, but one that was cultivated in reality. It is not a spiritual insect at all, but a Gu, a Gu cultivated by humans! The real creatures from the Mountain and Sea Realm cannot be taken out of the Mountain and Sea Realm." Fang Xiu immediately confirmed the origin of this thing.
"The Gu worm was cultivated with his own flesh, blood and soul! From this, it seems that this person not only cultivated the immortal path, but also integrated the blood of gods and demons or the blood of monsters and demons to be able to sacrifice and refine this kind of Gu worm."
"Then use humans to raise the Gu until it matures!"
"It seems that his first batch of Gu has not yet grown. If not, with millions of Gu worms coming together, few people in the world would be able to do anything to him. This is probably his next plan."
When Fang Xiu said this, Lin Yu and the investigator couldn't help but feel a chill at the same time, shuddering at the man's methods and evilness.
Zhang Heming still didn't understand: "If that's the case, it's OK to use animals to raise Gu, why do we need to use humans?"
Fang Xiu's eyes showed a fierce look: "If you use animals to raise Gu, it is also possible, but the soul of a human is the most powerful and has the most power. If it is a cultivator, it would be even better."
At this point, Fang Xiu glanced at the investigator, and everyone understood at once how vicious and evil the person who cast the poison was.
Fang Xiu then drew a talisman on how to get rid of the poisonous insect and gave it to Zhang Heming and Lin Yu. As long as they had the talisman, they could rescue the person who was infected by the human-faced poisonous insect.
Zhang Heming took a look and said, "But the person who put the poison on me is the key. If we can't find him, his vicious and cruel methods will only anger him and make him even more crazy."
"And he is doing this kind of thing of using people to raise Gu around my Longhu Mountain Dojo! How can I tolerate him!"
Lin Yu also looked at Fang Xiu: "That's right, we must catch him."
Fang Xiu took out the human-faced Gu that was sealed by the talisman and said, "This Gu worm has reached the first level. It is probably one of the few natal Gu that the Gu master has. After it is cultivated, it may be able to reach the second level and have the same soul and blood as the Gu master. With the help of this Gu worm, we can find him."
"You should be the best at this, Tianshi. That's enough for you. I don't need to say any more nonsense or interfere with the rest."
"If you let him escape, your title of Heavenly Master will be ruined!"
Zhang Heming took it with satisfaction: "I will send it back to you after it is done. Also, you will have a share of the things that the Gu Master left behind."
Fang Xiu waved his hand casually: "If you are interested, just show me the Gu-making technique."
