All professional Gu Xian

Zhou Qing ran back to Xin'an Lane and came outside a yard surrounded by earth walls.

The courtyard door was open, and a mat was placed on the flat ground in the middle of the courtyard, with a man covered with linen lying on it.

There were also several nearby neighbors standing nearby.

Although no one wanted to be involved in the Zhou family's current bad situation, they still wanted to come and take a look at it, since death was the most important thing.

"Aqing is back!"

Zhou Qing quickly entered the yard, squatted down and opened the linen cloth.

The face of an unshaven middle-aged man was revealed.

"Dad!"

After confirming that it was Zhou Xian, he fell to his knees and started howling loudly.

Zhou Qing put his hands into the linen, shook Zhou Xian's body, and groped up and down at the same time, only to find that he was only wearing a gray lining.

Zhou Qing's expression changed, and he directly lifted the linen cloth, only to find that Zhou Xian's clothes had been taken off, leaving only the gray lining and black shorts.

"Who took off my father's clothes?!" Zhou Qing's face was filled with anger.

"Ah Qing, I was found and sent back by Old Fart Zhang. He said it was already like this when he found your father's body." Aunt Li, who lives opposite, reminded.

‘You damn old fart Zhang! Could it be that Zhou Xian took off his clothes before falling into the water? ’

Zhou Qing could only think about this.

Zhang Laofi is a rogue in Heishan Town. He has two brothers who have learned boxing in a martial arts school for a few days, and he is considered a tyrant in the town.

This is the way it is in this era. Having more men in the family is a great thing.

Even if he knew clearly that it was Zhang Laofi who had plundered everything from Zhou Xian's body, Zhou Qing could only pretend to be dumbfounded.

Even if Zhou Xian was killed by Zhang Laofi.

‘Damn it! ’

Zhou Qing cursed in his heart, Zhou Xian went to the county town to sell silk this time, and he might still have some money left, but it had nothing to do with him now.

But Zhou Xian's death is not bad news for him.

"Ah Qing, I've seen people die from drowning. Your father's situation doesn't look like this!" Liang Ahsi, who made a living by fishing, suddenly said.

"You see, after a person drowns, fine and even white foam will appear in the mouth and nose.

After the body is stimulated by cold water, the skin will appear like chicken skin. Moreover, people will struggle to survive after drowning. Usually, the drowned person will hold things such as water plants, branches, and sand in their hands.

Looking at Brother Zhou's hands, there was no sign of struggle at all. How about reporting it to the official and asking for an autopsy? "

Liang Asi's words made everyone present fall silent.

Reporter, is it useful?

And if you want to do an autopsy, you have to pay.

"Thank you Uncle Liang. I just want my father to be buried in peace as soon as possible. I don't want him to suffer from the sharp knife after death."

Zhou Qing had a look of 'sadness' on his face. If Zhou Xian had not died, he would have wanted to make two more blows.

Report to the official? is that useful?

"Oh, that's right. Our family is having a hard time, and we really can't afford the money to buy a coffin. When your father is buried, remember to call us and send him up the mountain together." Liang Ahsi sighed.

"Uncle Liang, please don't say that. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to survive. I will never forget this kindness."

Zhou Qing said quickly.

Without Zhou Xian, there is hope for his life.

"It's all bitterness, we just hug together to keep warm. Since you won't pursue it, we won't say anything more. If you really can't hold on any longer, remember to scream." Liang Ahsi nodded.

"Yeah, if you really can't go on any longer, just say something."

Several other neighbors also responded, as long as Zhou Qing didn't take the initiative to provoke Zhang Laofi, they could help him.

Zhou Xian is dead, and Zhou Qing's life will be easier without the burden of this rotten gambler.

Sericulture is also a technical job. If you work hard, you can make a living.

Zhou Qing had been working from dawn to dusk gathering mulberries and raising silkworms, and they all saw it.

"Thank you, thank you uncles and aunts." Zhou Qing's eyes were hot, and he wasn't pretending this time.

"It's going to rain. Let's carry Lao Zhou in first."

Liang Ahsi glanced at the cloudy sky and said to the people present.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing quickly stepped forward to help.

After Zhou Xian's body was carried into the adobe house, everyone dispersed.

Before leaving, Liang Asi stuffed Zhou Qing with a copper coin that smelled like fish.

"Boom!"

The sky suddenly changed, and as a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, huge raindrops fell, falling into eight pieces in the yard.

Zhou Qing took out the small horse and sat on the uneven ground.

At a glance, there was an earthen stove, a wooden bed, a broken table, and a rice vat that a mouse could starve to death if it entered it.

"From now on, I'm the only one."

Zhou Qing sighed, but he was not sad about Zhou Xian's death, just a little bit sad.

"Pop!"

Feeling a little negative, Zhou Qing stood up and patted his cheek hard to cheer himself up.

"The good days have just begun!"

"Ouch!" Zhou Qing suddenly reacted.

He quickly ran into the silkworm room despite the heavy rain, closed the doors and windows on all sides, and burned firewood around to start a fire to prevent the silkworms in the silkworm room from freezing to death.

Even if you freeze him, you can't freeze the silkworms.

When the silkworm room got a little warmer, Zhou Qing picked out all the old hard leaves, young leaves, malnourished leaves and leaves with insufficient water in the silkworm room.

After doing this, he returned to the adobe house, closed the doors and windows, and sat on the horse to wait for the rain to stop.

He didn't bother to light the lamp, and the room instantly became dark.

"Huh?! This is"

Suddenly, he glanced at the corpse covered with sackcloth in the middle of the room and found that the lower abdomen of the corpse actually emitted a faint green light.

Zhou Qing lifted the sackcloth and looked at it carefully.

He saw that a translucent creature the size of a little finger, similar to a young silkworm, appeared in Zhou Xian's lower abdomen at some point.

The green light was emitted from its crystal body.

The next moment, the jade scepter in Zhou Qing's mind suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light.

A line of text appeared in his sight.

[You have discovered a new material for career advancement - Green Silk Gu. ]

[Green Silk Gu: Juvenile Gu worm. Bred by nature, it can be fed with wine, poison, and blood to help it grow and evolve. ]

[Refining conditions: None]

[Refining effect: alcohol conversion, blood and qi combing]

[Do you want to refine the Green Silk Gu to unlock a new career? ]

"!"

Zhou Qing widened his eyes.

"Yes!"

There is no need to hesitate.

Zhou Qing reached out and grabbed the green silk Gu worm, which was as green as jade.

As soon as he touched the green silk Gu worm, two rice-sized eyeballs suddenly bulged out from the front of the Gu worm, staring at Zhou Qing intently, as if trying to break free from his palm.

The next moment, the green silk Gu seemed to have melted and merged into Zhou Qing's body, and finally appeared in Zhou Qing's mind.

The green silk Gu continued to struggle, but as the deep blue light of the jade scepter shone, it instantly stopped moving.

At the same time, lines of text appeared on the jade scepter board.

[Profession: Gu Master]

[Refining: Green Silk Gu]

[Progress: Childhood (757/800)]

[Effect: Alcohol Transformation, Qi and Blood Combing]

Zhou Qing was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Alcohol Transformation?

Qi and Blood Combing?

The reason why he couldn't practice martial arts was because he was injured by Zhou Xian and his Qi and blood were damaged.

This Qingsi Gu can actually convert alcohol into blood and qi through drinking!

And even if he doesn't drink, Qingsi Gu can continuously comb and strengthen Zhou Qing's blood and qi.

In this way, doesn't he have the hope of practicing martial arts to change his fate?

[It can be fed with alcohol, poison, and blood to help it grow and evolve. 】

"Could it be that the reason why Zhou Xian's temperament changed drastically and he drank all day long was because of this Qingsi Gu worm?"

Zhou Qing looked at the description of Qingsi Gu on the jade scepter board and thought of Zhou Xian's abnormal behavior before. Could it be that he was affected by this Gu worm?

What happened when Zhou Xian took his wife to the county town?

"Forget it, death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, it doesn't matter."

After a while, Zhou Qing stopped thinking about it. Regardless of whether the Gu worm affected Zhou Xian's behavior, it was a fact that he injured himself twice.

Now that the person is dead, he can't ask a dead person.

Without Zhou Xian's alcoholism and gambling, he can live a good life soon by raising silkworms alone.

Moreover, with this green silk Gu worm, he has the hope of practicing martial arts.

"Feeding wine and water is unrealistic, but poison and blood food are OK, especially poison, which is everywhere."

Zhou Qing came back to his senses.

Black Mountain City is located on the edge of the 100,000 Mountains in Miaojiang. There is nothing much here, but there are many poisonous insects and beasts.

Legend has it that there are rare and exotic animals everywhere in the deep mountains, and even big monsters appear.

I have never heard of anyone who has entered the hinterland of the 100,000 Mountains and returned.

In fact, poisonous insects, beasts, and even big monsters in the 100,000 Mountains are not scary.

What is scary is the miasma that gathers from nowhere at any time.

This kind of miasma will kill ordinary people if they touch it.

Even warriors can't stand it for long.

Zhou Qing usually picks mulberry only at the foot of the mountain and the foot of the mountain.

There are fewer poisonous insects and beasts there, and there is no miasma, at least it is safer during the day.

"When the rain stops, I can go up the mountain to find poisonous insects!"

Zhou Qing looked at the fewer and fewer raindrops in the sky.

Many poisonous insects stay underground during the day and come out at night.

When the rain stops later, the poisonous insects underground will definitely come out for air, which is just right for him to take the green silk Gu to hunt.

He dare not touch powerful poisonous insects, but he can also encounter many common poisonous creatures such as centipedes, centipedes, and centipedes at the foot of the mountain.

[Effect: alcohol conversion, blood and qi combing]

Zhou Qing looked at the effect of the green silk Gu on the jade scepter. This alcohol conversion and blood and qi combing should be caused by Zhou Xian's large amount of drinking.

In this way, if he feeds poisonous insects to the green silk Gu, it should make the green silk Gu toxic.

And most of the poisons have toxin resistance.

If the green silk Gu can be made resistant to toxins, then Zhou Qing will have another shortcut to make money - collecting poisonous insects and selling them.

Because it is backed by the Ten Thousand Mountains, the warriors in the nearby towns have some knowledge of poisons, and there are also many warriors who practice poison skills.

Many warriors need poisons to stimulate the body and assist in practicing.

And the town's medical clinic also needs various poisons to prepare medicines.

There is a branch of Baiyun Martial Arts School in the town. The Baiyun Palm Method taught there requires poison to assist in practice.

The stronger the poison used, the more powerful the Baiyun Palm Method is, and the faster the progress.

However, using poison to practice is more harmful to the body.

Other martial arts apprentices may be injured by accident when practicing martial arts, and the most serious ones are just fractures.

Every year, apprentices in Baiyun Martial Arts School die of poisoning.

Even so, many people continue to die.

Why? Because practicing martial arts is the only way for ordinary people to change their fate.

Southern Xinjiang is located in the southernmost part of the Jin Dynasty, far away from the Central Plains. Although it belongs to the Jin Dynasty, the court actually has little control over this place.

Studying for the imperial examination is not feasible here.

Only a strong enough fist can make a way out.
