70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

Some of them were the illegal spies that Si Zhengyan and his team were chasing, and the others were the men in the village who were pushed into the river by the men in black.

All together, there are more than three hundred people.

The passage inside the last corridor is very deep, and halfway down there are two symmetrical basements that are used as kitchens.

At the end was the outhouse, which was the underground hole that Lu Chaoyan found by the river.

The people who were thrown into the river entered this underground hiding room through this underground hole.

She finished looking at the entire basement and came to the basement in the first corridor on the left side of the middle square.

After looking around, she found the oldest old man and removed the drug from him.

In order to enable him to explain things clearly, he was given supernatural powers.

The old man opened his eyes and looked at the group of soldiers with guns behind her, fear in his eyes.

"Please kill us old guys first."

"Don't be afraid, old man. We are national soldiers."

Si Zhengyan had already handed Li Mingxiu over to his comrade-in-arms and carried him upstairs.

After hearing what the old man said, he gently explained the identity of their group.

The old man couldn't believe it at first, and Si Zhengyan asked him to look at the military emblem on their clothes.

The old man finally believed it and burst into tears, "The country has finally found us and rescued us, woo woo."

Li Qingheng asked, "What happened here?"

"That thing is the cause of all the trouble!"

The old man stood up with the help of the soldiers and pointed to the porcelain bowl next to the cold well.

When we came down just now, we only saw a bowl of clear water and no insects.

After hearing what the old man said, I was even more confused.

"Uncle, is there something in the water?"

"Ugh."

The old man saw that they didn't see anything, so he picked up the arm of a man who had fainted on the ground and squeezed a few drops of blood into a bowl.

In the originally calm bowl, two transparent objects the size of sesame seeds were slowly wriggling in the blood.

Under everyone's gaze, the blood quickly disappeared and turned into a bowl of clear water.

Then the old man came to the well and looked at the transparent object emitting cold air.

"The ice worms in there are evil things that can make women look young and can also make blood-related people swap faces with each other."

Except for Lu Chaoyan, everyone else looked at the ice well in horror.

Could it be that the well is full of the stuff in the bowl?

Lu Chaoyan saw what they were thinking, grabbed a young man, cut his arm artery, and let a large amount of blood flow into the well.

After a moment, the clear water in the cold well began to tumble. With the naked eye, one could see transparent objects ten times smaller than a sesame seed, wriggling densely.

Everyone who saw it had their hair standing on end.

"Old man, what on earth is this? How did it come about?"

"Alas, this story has to start from a thousand years ago. Our Xu family..."

The old man talked about the origin of their village and the ice worms.

A thousand years ago, they were a small, impoverished family named Xu. They came here to avoid the war.

Because there are towering mountains behind their village and a long abyss in front, no matter who attacks, they cannot easily hurt them.

Gradually, some refugees outside also came to them to seek refuge.

Over time, a small village of dozens of people developed into a large village of thousands of people.

Later, a major earthquake caused a canyon to appear in the mountain behind their village, from which a chilling cold air emerged.

Curiosity drove them down and they saw an underground cave. At the bottom of the cave, there was a small pond with extremely cold air floating above the pond.

They thought it was a cold abyss and did not take it seriously. They repaired the entire cave and planned to use it to store food or to hide from disasters during war.

By chance, a child who came in with the adults accidentally fell into a cold well. When they tried to fish him out, the child seemed to be eaten by countless insects. Soon, only bones were left.

In the pool full of blood, they discovered transparent worms wriggling inside and a piece of mermaid skin floating up.

There were strange words written on it that none of them could understand.

After this incident, everyone knew that this cave was not a good place.

The people in the village requested that the cave be sealed, but some said that there would be no danger as long as no one fell in.

Because of the desire for this natural storage freezer, the cave was never sealed.

There were always one or two weird people in the village. They quietly fished out the fish skin paper and wanted to study its meaning.

But the people in the village were not well educated, so they took him outside to ask someone.

They met a southern Gu breeder who told them that there was a secret recipe for raising Gu.

It said that if the transparent worms were placed in pairs in a woman's uterus and fed with menstrual blood, her skin would be kept as cold as snow and her flesh tight, so that she would always look like an eighteen-year-old girl.

When menopause comes, the two worms will attack the woman's body, suck out all her flesh and blood, break out of her body, mate and lay eggs to give birth to the next pair of larvae.

These larvae are first fed with the blood of young boys and girls for ten years.

Then she would place it in the womb of the person whose appearance she wanted to steal and raise it for three years. Finally, she would use a secret technique to take one out and place it in her own womb, and then she would have the same appearance as the other person.

There is only one thing, the person who changes his face cannot be too far away from the other person, as there is no sense of connection between the two insects.

They will die, and both hosts will die too.

The people in the village couldn't suppress their curiosity and followed the method taught by the Gu keeper to raise Gu. After countless attempts, they actually succeeded.

For many years afterwards, in order to be more beautiful, the women in the village would grow a pair of poisonous insects in their wombs after giving birth to make themselves look younger.

After they died, the two Gu mated and laid eggs, which were then collected by those who knew how to raise Gu, placed next to the ice well in the cave, and raised with the blood of young boys and girls, to be used to exchange people's appearance.

Many years later, a manager in the village lost his lover because of the face-changing Gu.

In a rage, he listed the Face-Changing Gu as a forbidden technique and the Cold Cave as a forbidden area. It was not allowed to be spread outside, let alone raised.

At the same time, those who raised Gu were also driven away.

From then on, only the manager and his descendants in the village knew how to raise Gu.

A hundred years later, a man with evil intentions emerged among the manager's descendants. For personal gain, he secretly raised the Face-Changing Gu and went out to murder others.

This also caused the outside authorities to discover the Face-Changing Gu, and they cleared out the entire village, almost causing the village to be destroyed.

As dynasties changed, the people in the village barely survived, and only began to prosper three hundred years ago.

But the insects in the pond are still there, and the ancestral legends are still there, always making some greedy people want to harm others.

Therefore, in the process of inheritance from generation to generation, a few gifted people, through continuous trial and error, raised the Face-Changing Gu.

As for the solution, it was on the mermaid skin paper, but was taken away by the southern Gu breeder as a reward and its whereabouts are still unknown.
