"How do I know that he has been poisoned?" Shuo Ling couldn't help but ask after hearing what the man in front of him said.
The man gave him a red look and said, "It took a lot of effort for him to pull me out of the water. He checked that my injuries were not serious. Later, he saw that I was in a coma with a cold sweat on my forehead. That's when I When I opened my eyelids and took a look, I realized that there was a poisonous insect inside my body."
"Am I sure?" Shuo Ling frowned slightly, it was exactly what he thought.
"That's very false. The poison I've been infected with is an intestinal poison. Those poisonous insects like to be active at night, and their attacks are more severe every time. The pain can be unbearable, but it can't kill people. It's simply torture. "Speaking of that, the man couldn't help shaking his head and trembling.
What the man said was completely consistent with his symptoms during those days. It seemed that Shuo Ling asked again, "Is there a cure for the poison? He remembered that he had not come into contact with anyone who could cure it."
"The Gu insect I am in has been lured out when I was unconscious. As for the Eastern Gu people, I don't need to come into contact with them. I just want to drink the water with Eastern Gu insect eggs and I will be poisoned." That person Explained to Shuoling.
Hearing what the man said, Shuo Ling recalled what happened in the Temple Village that night. Sure enough, the problem appeared in the wizard's bowl of holy water!
Shuo Ling was thoughtful and asked tentatively, "Can I remove poison?"
"He is so good at undoing poisons. There are very few poisons in the east that day that can't catch him!" The man said with a proud look on his face.
He was very much guessing just now. When he saw that person saying this, there was no doubt that the person in front of him was Hou Shi, the Gu King.
Shuo Ling quickly saluted Hou Shi, "I wonder if it's senior Gu King, but I'm being rude to you."
"Easy to say, easy to say." At this moment, Hou Shi was appreciative of Shuo Ling, thinking that the young man was not frivolous.
For a moment, Hou Shi put away his smile. It was no longer time to joke. When he discovered that the young man had Gu worms outside his body, he decided to take Shuo Ling back to Wu Gu City.
Yu Chuhoushi asked again, "Then do I know where I drank water from unknown sources or offended someone?"
"Did something happen to King Gu?" Shuo Ling couldn't help but wonder when Hou Shi kept asking that question.
Hou Shi shook his head and said, "I feel ashamed to talk about this matter. He doubts whether it was done by his junior brother who has left the sect!"
"The Gu King's junior brother?" Shuo Ling was confused!
"The master passed the title of Gu King to him when he ascended to heaven. It was supposed to be passed on to his junior brother Zhan You, but the master said that he was not strong-willed and was not qualified for the position of Gu King. The junior brother left the master in a hurry and stole it away. I learned this forbidden book!" Hou Shi sighed as he said that!
After hearing what Hou Shi said, Shuo Ling asked, "So, King Gu thinks that the disappearance of the frontier people is also related to him?"
"After Xu Cong knew that the forbidden book was missing, he sent people to Dongshan to look for him, but there was no trace of him. When he heard about the disappearance at the frontier fortress, he wondered whether it was his fault, so he went out to the mountain to check in person, and then he saved Dongme on the way. After Bu Nao knew that I was being attacked by Eastern Gu, he felt that the matter must be related to Zhan You, so he took me back to Wugu City and asked me where he was hiding after I woke up. "Jian Hou Shi explained.
Shuo Ling nodded after hearing this. Seeing Hou Shi's worried look, he couldn't help but said, "King Gu, don't worry about this!"
"So, I know where he is?" After hearing what Shuo Ling said, Hou Shi even asked, and the worry on his face faded a lot.
Since the wrong side is not the enemy, Shuo Ling stopped beating around the bush, "To be honest with King Gu, he is also investigating the matter, Bu Nao..."
"What?" Seeing Shuo Ling pause, Hou Shi asked hurriedly.
Shuo Ling said, "That village is very weird. Someone seems to have cast a spell outside the village, and you can't enter the village at all!"
"Ecstasy array? Then how do I know about the problems in that village?" Hou Shi looked at Shuo Ling in confusion.
So Shuoling told Hou Shi how he entered the village that night, what happened after entering the village, and how the villagers looked at that time!
"So, have I seen anyone from Dong Wu Gu?" Hou Shi asked again.
Shuo Ling responded, "Not bad."
"Then I remember what that person looks like. Can you draw it and show it to him? If it's really not Zhan You, please be prepared!" Seeing Hou Shi, he became worried again.
After seeing Shuo Ling nod, Hou Shi brought some paper and pen
After a while, Shuo Ling brought the painted portrait to Hou Shi.
Hou Shi was furious, "As expected, he actually used the walking zombie Gu to control the villagers to do things for him!"
"Corpse Gu?" "Shuo Ling frowned slightly.
Hou Shi continued, "When someone is infected by the walking corpse poison, the East Gu person will ask the insect king around him to give orders, and the insect king will convey the instructions, and the poisonous insects outside the human body will do things according to the instructions!"
"So that's the case, what's the way to remove the poison?" Shuo Ling nodded, and then asked.
No wonder he missed the villagers before he fell off the cliff. They seemed to feel no pain.
Hou Shi said with a serious face, "Unless I find Zhan You and kill the insect king, I hope the insect king is dead and other Gu insects will automatically perish after sensing it. Otherwise, I hope that person can have a breath." , will continue to complete the mission of the Insect King."
"After coming to the east, what does King Gu plan to do?" Shuo Ling asked.
Hou Shi sighed again, "It seems that I want to find Zhan You as soon as possible to prevent more people from being harmed. I want to find out the situation first so that more villagers will not be harmed."
"If King Gu can trust him, let him go to investigate on King Gu's behalf first, then I don't know how to break the enchantment array at the entrance of the village?" Shuo Ling couldn't help but look embarrassed when he thought of the enchantment array at the entrance of the village.
I saw Hou Shi walking to the jar with the Gu worms and fiddling with it, "That's simple. It's hard to miss him in his enchantment formation. I just look at my own feet and choke them. I just look away without asking."
"King Duoxiezhi reminded him that after he investigates clearly, he will send someone to inform the seniors." Shuo Ling saluted Hou Shi and prepared to go out.
"Wait for Dong." Hou Shi said, taking out a token from his waist and throwing it to Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling caught it, "Then...?"
"Take it, with this token you can freely enter and exit Wu Gu City." Hou Shi said, fiddling with the jar in his legs.
After bowing to Hou Shi again, Shuo Ling walked towards the Paradise City. He had been out for several days and wondered how Mo Li was doing there.
City of Elysium.
Mo Li has been keeping an eye on the temple village, but in those few days, two more people disappeared. So Mo Li tried to go into the village in the morning to investigate, but every time he would see the same road in front of him. No matter what you choose, it will always come out again.
After trying several times, Mo Li couldn't, so he gave up. Counting his confinement, his Marquis had been out for five days. I wonder what the situation was like
Yesterday, the small army sent by the emperor arrived in Paradise City. Since the Marquis of his family was not here, Lord He was asked to receive them first and arrange a place for them to stay.
Everything was fine, except when the Marquis of his family would come back. Thinking of that, Li Moli couldn't help but worry.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a dark shadow walking over there under the moonlight.
Mo Li hurriedly hid behind a tree and watched carefully. Only when he got closer could he see clearly whether the person coming was his Marquis.
He quickly came out from behind the tree and said, "Master Hou."
"Did anything happen in those days?" Shuo Ling nodded and then asked.
Li Li quickly responded, "Back to the Marquis, he has been watching outside the temple village in those days and didn't notice anyone walking out, but I don't know why? Two more people are missing in Qile City!"
"Oh! Two more people are missing?" Shuo Ling frowned slightly.
Before Mo left his mouth, Shuo Ling said again, "We'll talk about this later. Now let's go to the village to see the situation in the east."
"He also tried to enter the village in the past few days, but he couldn't. Has the Marquis found a way to enter the village?" Li Li asked quickly.
I saw his Marquis nodding his head, "I followed him closely, and I didn't want to lose him."
Shuo Ling said, following the method mentioned by King Gu, he followed a path, looking eastward, towards Choyuan.
really! Entered the temple village.
It turns out that the ecstasy array uses vision to confuse people's minds. If you don't look elsewhere, you can naturally break the array.
The two of them had only taken a few steps when they heard the sound of shutting up and hurriedly hid behind a nearby house.
I heard someone say, "Hey, I asked them where to find so many people. Ever since people discovered that someone was missing, their awareness of precautions has become stronger."
"Don't complain there, please let the wizard hear it. I've eaten good fruit again." Another person on the same road said.
Hearing what the man said, the man looked reluctant and said, "I know, isn't he walking?"
"Hurry up, gather the villagers quickly, and ask if we will miss the time of offering sacrifices to heaven, and we will inevitably get scolded by the wizard." The man urged again.
Saying that, ring the gong in your leg!
See you then, the villagers opened the door one after another and walked out, their expressions still dull!
Seeing this, the two sneaked in quietly from the side and followed the villagers towards the altar.
When he arrived at the altar, he knelt down as the villagers did.
Shuo Ling raised his head slightly and saw a man lying on the altar.
