The two were startled immediately, and hurriedly stepped forward to help an old man in front of them and said, "Why do you kneel down when you are so good?"

The old man wiped away his old tears and said with a sob: "My Ah San died tragically. Fortunately, the two immortal masters avenged him by burning all those evil insects to death. I also invite the two immortal masters to accept my worship." As soon as he said that, he wanted to kowtow to the two of them.

Xiao Jin supported him and said: "What we do is our duty, please hurry up."

Beishang on the side said: "Yes, we only want to have a clear conscience when we do things. Your kneeling, sir, will ruin us. Please get up quickly, everyone, get up quickly."

Finally, with the support of the three people, the old man and all the villagers got up.

Because the corpse of the deceased was completely burned by the spiritual fire together with the man-eating Gu worms, leaving no ash, the villagers grabbed a handful of yellow soil on the ground as the ashes of the deceased, and finally dragged With heavy footsteps, he slowly left while chanting the name of the deceased.

From a distance, their mournful voices can still be heard: "Go home, we are home..."

Watching everyone leave, the eyes of the three couldn't help but became more heavy. Looking at Xiao Si who was still lying on the stone table in the pavilion, Xiao Jin said to Bei Shang: "Let's go."

Bei Shang nodded, and said to Hu Qi: "Uncle, Xiao Si will trouble you to watch first."

Hu Qi said: "Go."

Just now, several people have learned from the villagers who left that today a pair of brothers surnamed He went out to purchase supplies. The older brother is called He Da, and the younger brother is called He Xiao.

The younger brother is married and has one son, while the elder brother is still single. The two brothers have a very good relationship and do not live apart.

When the two came to the door of the brothers surnamed He, a 25-year-old woman staggered out of the house with a two-year-old boy in her arms, screaming incessantly: "Bugs, Lots of bugs..."

Because she was too panicked, the woman bumped into the two of them at once, and the boy in her hand was almost knocked down.

As soon as Xiao Jin and Bei Shang helped her upright, she hugged the boy with one hand and dragged Xiao Jin's sleeve into the room as if she had caught a life-saving straw, crying incoherently: "Help, hurry up!" Help, save my husband, save my elder brother..."

The hearts of the two trembled, and they had already vaguely guessed what happened.When I rushed into the house, I saw two men about 30 years old lying on the ground. They were already dying. Their hands and feet twitched from time to time. White bugs with black dots.

It is the cannibal Gu worm!

I saw these bugs coming from the two men

Climbing out, screaming "squeaky" and crawling around the house, looking for a parasitic human body.

There are too many bugs, densely packed, it makes people's scalp feel tight.

As soon as a few people came in, they seemed to smell the smell of a human body, and turned their directions one after another, impatiently, scrambling towards them.

The woman was walking in front of the two, but she couldn't help shivering when she saw this, subconsciously hugged the child tightly in her arms, and hid behind the two.

Xiao Jin said in a deep voice, "Hold your breath."

Seeing that the woman behind him didn't seem to have reacted, Beishang quickly added: "The smell emitted by these insects is poisonous. If you inhale too much, your body will spontaneously ignite, and eventually you will be burned to death."

When the woman heard this, she quickly covered the mouth and nose of the child in her hand, and held her breath herself.

Xiao Jin first cast an enchantment on the two men lying on the ground, which not only enveloped them, but also prevented the Gu worms that kept crawling out of them from crawling around.

Then he said to Beishang: "Take it outside the house."

Beishang instantly understood what he meant. There were too many Gu worms crawling everywhere in the room, and it was impossible to cover them with the barrier all at once.

We can only lead the uncovered ones out of the house, gather them together and burn them.

He helped the woman out of the house first, while Xiao Jin slowly led the Gu worms out, and finally surrounded them with an enchantment in the courtyard, and even injected colorful spiritual energy to block the scene inside.

At this time, the woman also understood that the two were members of the Taoist sect, she said anxiously: "Xiao... Immortal Master, I don't know how my husband is doing now?"

Xiao Jin glanced at Bei Shang, who gave him an encouraging look, and he said in a deep voice, "Sorry, we're late..."

Just at that moment, the two people inside who were already dying were completely silent, and their flesh and blood were sucked clean by the man-eating Gu.

This is another tricky part of the cannibal Gu.

For a parasitized human body, the initial symptoms are just normal blisters growing all over the body, and when the blisters start to turn pink and people finally notice something is wrong, that is when the Gu worms start to grow.

They will suck up the flesh and blood of the parasite in a very short period of time, grow rapidly and break out of the body, making it too late for people to take measures to save themselves or others.

The woman froze for a moment, then suddenly put down the child in her hand and rushed into the back room.

Almost at the same time, her choked-up cry came from inside, "Sister...you hear me, Mrs....you should answer me, Mrs.... woo woo woo..."

The two people outside the house looked at each other, Bei Shang picked up the child who was put down by the woman, and followed into the back room.

Taking a deep breath, Xiaojin gradually merged into the barrier after rising three feet from the ground like in a farmer's home.

Beishang carried the child into the back room, where the woman was kneeling and sitting in front of the barrier.Because the enchantment was infused with colorful aura by Xiao Jin in advance, she couldn't see the scene inside clearly, so she could only pat the enchantment vigorously, screaming non-stop.

"Mother...Mother..."

Perhaps seeing the woman crying sadly, the child in Beishang's arms burst into tears.

Beishang quickly put him down, and as soon as he landed, he threw himself on the woman.

The woman coaxed the child in her arms, looked up at Beishang with teary eyes and said, "Master Immortal, my husband...really...really gone?" She seemed to muster up a lot of courage to ask this question. In a word, her eyes are red and pitiful.

Bei Shang sighed softly, looking at the two orphans and widows in front of him, he couldn't bear it, but he still had to nod cruelly.

The woman bit her lip, but she didn't cry bitterly as Beishang imagined.

She sniffed, stood up with the child in her arms and said to Beishang: "I also ask the immortal master to get rid of all these bugs, and we must not let them run out and harm others."

Seeing this, Beishang couldn't help being respectful to her, and said solemnly: "I can guarantee that none of the Gu worms here will escape alive."

At this time, Xiao Jin came in from the outside, he said: "I'll come!"

Beishang knew that he had already cleaned up the Gu worms outside, so he nodded at him and led the woman out.

It only takes one look, and the division of labor between the two is clear, one person does ideological work, and the other cleans up.

It has to be said that the tacit understanding between the two is very good.

Bei Shang and the woman waited outside the house for a short time before Xiao Jin came out, holding Wu Nian in his hand, and on the other end of Wu Nian was carrying an untied bundle.

When the woman saw the burden, she froze for a moment, "This burden..."

Xiao Jin glanced at Bei Shang, and said solemnly: "There is something wrong with the things inside."

Hearing this, Beishang's eyes froze, he looked at the woman and said, "I don't know who you are?" Even though he guessed the woman's identity, he still asked.

The woman hurriedly said: "This concubine is He Xiao's wife, surnamed Zhou, and this is our child, Tongtong." Then, she motioned to Tongtong: "Tongtong, call Xianshi quickly."

With a childish voice, Tongtong said softly, "Brother Xianshi is good."

Beishang smiled and patted his head, and said, "Tongtong is good." Then, he looked at Mrs. Zhou again, and said, "Sister Zhou should know about your husband and elder brother going out to purchase supplies today, right?"

Hearing what he called her, Zhou seemed a little flattered. She is a smart woman. When she heard him ask this question, she immediately thought of the crux of the matter. She paused and replied: "I know about this. Are these bugs related to purchasing supplies?"

Beishang said: "We are here today for this purpose."

Zhou said: "If the immortal master has any questions, feel free to ask. I know everything by myself and can't stop talking."

Hearing this, Beishang nodded at Xiaojin.

Xiao Jin put the burden lightly on the ground, and used the tip of his sword to lift the burden, revealing the contents inside.

This is an extremely exquisite wooden square box, the whole body is pink, very beautiful.

Xiao Jin looked at Zhou Shi and said, "What is this?"

Zhou said: "This is a pastry. My husband bought it for us to try when he was shopping for supplies."

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, as if she remembered something, her face changed suddenly, and she murmured: "Yes, my husband and elder brother both ate the cakes inside before the accident, there must be something wrong with the cakes."

Bei Shang looked at Xiao Jin, who shook his hand, and Wu Nian sent out a silver light towards the pink square box on the ground.

"Clap!"

The box was divided into two halves by the silver light, and several delicate green pastries fell out of it.

These pastries come in different shapes, are extremely delicate and beautiful, and look very sweet and delicious.

One of the pastries happened to be cut in half, and in the middle of each of the two halves was a long white object the size of a baby's little finger, writhing vigorously.
