Seeing that the villagers had already left, the old farmer said: "If I'm not wrong, this should be a kind of Gu insect that has been extinct since ancient times, a man-eating Gu insect."

A look of surprise appeared on Beishang's face, and he said, "Cannibal Gu?"

The old farmer looked at him and said, "Do you know about man-eating Gu worms?"

Beishang nodded, and said slowly: "I know something, I just read it from an ancient book by chance."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "It is recorded in ancient books that man-eating Gu worms are extremely evil things. They are not raised artificially, but are produced naturally. They usually like to stay in dark and humid deep mountains and old forests."

"Once human beings come into contact with them, they will be parasitized into the human body by them, feeding on human flesh and blood, and then begin to reproduce rapidly until they die. After the larvae that are reproduced absorb enough nutrients, they will grow into adult Gu worms. After that, it will continue to search for the next parasitic flesh and body, and so on.”

"Once this kind of thing starts to parasitize in the crowd, if it is not removed in time, it will be endless. From parasite to reproduction, and then to breaking out of the body, the intermediate process is extremely short."

"And during this period, the parasitized human body has almost become a mummy because it has lost its flesh and blood. When the human body has no nutrients, the female worm will die, and the Gu worm that has been reproduced and has not yet broken out will die along with it. .”

Hearing this, a few people looked at the three villagers in the barrier, and saw that the three had already disappeared at this time, leaving only a skinny "mummy".

Because they were trapped in the barrier and couldn't get out, those man-eating Gu worms were wriggling layer by layer, making an anxious "squeak" sound from their mouths, and there were rows of black spots on their backs. The eyes are gradually turning pink, twinkling, making people feel dazed after looking at them for a long time, which is extremely weird.

Xiao Jin frowned and said, "Their eyes..."

Beishang said: "An ancient book records that after the cannibal Gu worm breaks out of the body, all the eyes on the back will gradually turn pink. These pink eyes will make people confused, and if they look at it for a long time, they will even make people blind , which is an instinctive force of their self-protection."

"The stench is also emitted by the males. Apart from mating and mating with the females, they also emit that disgusting stench. This stench will gradually turn the blood in the human body. It is scalding hot, and smelling it for a long time will even make people's blood spontaneously ignite, and the whole person will be burned to death. It can be said that this smell is a kind of poison that cannot be guarded against."

Hearing this, Xiao Jin's brows frowned even tighter, just now he just asked Bei Shang to hold his breath out of instinct, he didn't think so much, he didn't expect the smell to be so dangerous.

The old farmer nodded and said: "That's right, this is the evil of the cannibal Gu. It's just that this thing has been extinct since ancient times, how can it appear in the village now?"

A look of doubt appeared on his face, and he continued: "What puzzles me is that such an evil and dangerous thing appeared in the village, why didn't the sacred tree move at all?"

Hearing this, the three of Beishang were silent for a while.

They know the magic of the sacred tree. As the old farmer said, the man-eating Gu worm is evil and dangerous. It is unusual for such a thing to appear in the village. It is even more so if the sacred tree does not respond at this time. unusual.

Hu Qi pointed to the man-eating Gu worm in the barrier, and said, "What should I do with the man-eating Gu worm?"

Old Nong said: "Although these Gu worms are evil, fortunately, it doesn't take much trouble to get rid of them. This kind of thing is most afraid of the monk's spiritual fire, and it only needs a spiritual fire to burn them. It's just..."

"It's just that once the spiritual fire is ignited, the parasitized villagers will not even be able to leave their ashes behind." Beishang took what he hadn't finished.

Hu Qidao: "That will be very difficult. People want to rest in peace after death. Once this spiritual fire is burned, it will not leave even a trace."

How can the dead person rest in peace after dying so painfully without leaving even a trace?

Several people couldn't help turning their eyes to the old farmer.

The old farmer said slowly: "The spiritual fire must be set off, but only after communicating with the family of the deceased can it be set off."

That's why he didn't release the spirit fire to get rid of the Gu worms at the beginning.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Jin said: "How can the Gu worm be explained?"

Right now, I don't know if there are other villagers who are parasitized by Gu insects. Finding a solution as soon as possible is the most important thing.

Beishang shook his head and said, "This is not recorded in ancient books."

Old Nong said: "This is the most difficult part. Since ancient times, apart from directly burning the Gu worms with spiritual fire, there is no known cure."

Hu Qi took over and said, "That's why you didn't treat them just now."

The old farmer nodded.

The horror of the cannibal Gu worm is far from being able to be explained clearly in a few words. Before there is no treatment plan, how can he act rashly?

His own safety is very small, if it endangers the entire Shengyin Village, he will die and cannot atone for his sin.

Xiao Jin said: "This matter should not be delayed, I will go to the village chief." After finishing speaking, he walked out.

Beishang hurriedly followed him and said, "I'll go with you."

Watching the two figures, one blue and one white gradually walk away, Hu Qi retracted his gaze and muttered: "It doesn't seem so bad."

Turning his head, he met the thoughtful gaze of the old farmer. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let them take care of the young people's affairs."

Hu Qi was taken aback, then smiled wryly and shook his head.

He didn't say that he opposed the two of them being together, but that he couldn't get used to it for a while.

Besides, he likes both children very much. From a certain point of view, the most important thing is that they are happy together, and he has no reason to object, let alone object.

……

Here, Xiao Jin and Bei Shang walked quickly.

Beishang turned his head to look at Xiao Jin beside him who was frowning tightly, and couldn't help but hold him and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, there will always be a solution. If things are really bad, it is impossible for Shenshu not to warn."

He stretched out his hand to caress the center of his brow, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, let it take its course, okay?" There was distress in his eyes.

Xiao Jin looked into his clear and bright eyes, and the nerves that had been tense unconsciously just now gradually relaxed.

Seeing three living beings with his own eyes, gradually being eaten to death by Gu insects, but he was powerless, this reminded him unconsciously of being trapped by the flame circle in the illusion, Beishang burned his own blood and became a The scene of the gray-haired old man.

Although he opened his eyes and only took one look at that time, it was also this one look that gave him an infinite sense of powerlessness and fear.

Even the fear at that time had been deeply buried in his heart.But now when he encounters the same powerless thing, his nerves are involuntarily pulled together.

His series of changes naturally cannot escape Bei Shang who is always watching him.

Xiao Jin said: "I'm fine, let's go."

"and many more!"

Beishang smiled and raised a hand to him, palm up.

He looked at him suspiciously.

Beishang smiled and said, "Give me your hand."

Xiao Jin looked at him blankly, and the latter blinked at him.

With a slight hook of the corner of his mouth, Xiao Jin put his left hand in his palm.

The two people clasped their fingers and held each other tightly. The heart lock on their wrists flashed red, flashing and flashing, as if they were delighted by the deep affection between the two.

Under the sun, the scene of one blue and one white clasped fingers is like a beautiful landscape.

When the two came to the door of the village chief's house, it happened that the village chief He Jinlun and his wife Huang Shizheng ran out of the house in panic.

He Jinlun hugged his granddaughter Xiaosi horizontally with red eyes, while Huang clung tightly to Xiaosi's small hands, his face covered with tears.

When the couple saw the two of them, it was as if they had caught a life-saving straw.

He Jinlun hurriedly said: "The two gentlemen came just in time, hurry up, take Xiao Si to the old farmer."

The two looked at it calmly, and saw that Xiaosi's face and hands were covered with blisters, she kept yelling for pain, her body kept twisting, and her whole little face was wrinkled together due to the pain.

If Mrs. Huang hadn't grabbed her hand tightly, she would probably have scratched her face and body.

The two were startled, Xiao Jin hugged Xiao Si in his arms before Bei Shang, and said: "I'll go back first." After saying that, he didn't care about shocking the world at the moment, and directly summoned Wu Nian Yujian and left.

Seeing him flying away with Yujian, the couple's expressions changed greatly.

Then he thought that he and Beishang had been blessed by the sacred tree, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.At the same time, I am also fortunate that this flying is much faster than their running.

Beishang was thinking about Xiao Jin in his heart, so he immediately said to He Jinlun: "Village chief, please call the family members of the three patients to Mr. Nong. Mr. Nong has something important to say." Follow Yujian.

Seeing them leaving in such a hurry, He Jinlun knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately said to his wife: "You go to the farmer's place to see Xiaosi first, and I will find someone."

Mrs. Huang wiped the tears from her face, and said repeatedly: "Well, be careful yourself." Saying this, she hurried to the farmer's hometown.

Besides, Xiao Jin, since he and Beishang got the heart lock, the barrier above Shengyin Village no longer restricts them, he flew with Xiaosi Yujian in his arms, and soon arrived at Nong's hometown.

When the old farmer saw him descending from the sky, his pupils shrank, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

He is different from ordinary people like the He Jinlun Huang family. He is also a monk. He can receive the blessing of the sacred tree every year, but he has never been able to hold a sword in the sky in the village.

Xiao Jin saw that his expression was different, but she didn't have time to explain to him.

He looked around, walked into the gazebo with Xiaosi in his arms, stared at the cold stone table, looked and thought for a while, with a thought, a red "thin cloth" appeared out of thin air, and slowly spread it on the stone table .

He gently put Xiaosi on it, turned around and said to the old farmer who was following him, "Can you think of a way to deal with it?"
