How to catch a demon god? !

Chapter 21 Dream Gu

It could be just a coincidence once, it could be just a coincidence twice.The dream was grotesque and uncontrollable, and it was normal to dream of anything, but Qiao Pingyang faintly felt that something was wrong.The biggest sense of discord comes from the sound. In the dream, he couldn't hear any sound except the woman's laughter. It is not so much the hearing limitation, but the feeling that the five senses are completely blocked.In the dream, he could indeed see the other party and run, but his body was in a state of closed eyes and dormant body functions.It was an invisible sense of oppression, as if his whole being was dragged into an unknown black box, he couldn't hear, see, or touch, and the dream was just a false space fabricated by others.In this way, if it is not a dream, but an illusion, maybe everything makes sense.Deliberately choose to create illusions every day when the caster is sleeping, making people mistakenly think that everything is a dream and lowering their vigilance.Moreover, people tend to easily forget the experience in the dream after waking up. In the morning, they may be able to remember a general idea, but in the evening, the memory becomes ambiguous, and they simply forget it the next day.The caster takes advantage of this.After thinking about it, he had the impression that he had seen a similar situation when he was flipping through the ancient books handed down by the Qiao family. This might be a kind of sorcery called Dream Gu.

"Dream Gu..." Qiao Pingyang pondered for a moment. If I remembered correctly, the ancient book should still be in the study of Qiao's courtyard. Even if I couldn't find the book, my grandfather might have heard about it because he was well-informed.Making up his mind, he jumped out of bed and went straight to the bathroom.When the wind blows, the body feels very cold. The first thing to do is to wash off the sweat and warm yourself.

When Qiao Pingyang stepped into Qiao's courtyard after a long absence, Qiao Ran was doing Tai Chi in the courtyard.Push it out with one palm, that's called a fierce tiger.Qiao Pingyang was very relieved. Grandpa had stepped into the coffin with half a foot long ago, and was tortured by the evil dragon in the mirror for 20 years. He lost all his spiritual power. In the mirror, he drove west alone... Now that the famous and famous Qiao Banxian can no longer catch monsters, at least he can grow flowers and plants to spend his old age peacefully, which should be a kind of happiness.

"Grandpa, keep typing. I'll go to the study to find some materials." Not wanting to disturb Qiao Ran's boxing practice, Qiao Pingyang met him and went straight to the study.

The study room in Qiao's courtyard is not big, and it is a small space, but it is filled with all kinds of books. The books that cannot fit on the bookshelf are stacked in bundles and randomly piled up on the ground.Most of them are ancient metaphysical books related to catching monsters. I heard that the Qiao family once had a generation of bookworms who love books. They collected a lot of rare ancient books, which is convenient for future generations.Qiao Pingyang was at a loss for what to do with the room full of ancient books. To him who didn't like reading, this situation was basically like looking for a needle in a haystack.He scratched his hair irritably, slightly curled up and down by his scratching.Crouching down, he was going to start nearby, flipping through one book after another.

As time ticked by, Qiao Pingyang had changed from squatting to sitting cross-legged on the spot.However, there is not much progress at hand, and I haven't even finished reading the first bundle of books in front of me for half an hour.According to this progress, by the time he rummages through the study to find the ancient book, he may already be old.The normally radiant phoenix eyes were now lacklustre, and his eyes were so straight that they looked like dead fish eyes.

"This is not a solution—" Qiao Pingyang threw away the ancient books with fragile and yellowed paper in his hand, stood up and hammered his numb legs twice, "I'd better ask grandpa..."

When he returned to the living room, Qiao Ran had already practiced a complete set of Tai Chi and was pouring tea in the yard. Seeing him coming out of the study, he beckoned him to sit down.Qiao Pingyang was not polite either, and as soon as he sat down, he picked up the teacup and drank it down, asking for another cup.

Qiao Ran poured him another cup and asked, "Have you found the information?"

Qiao Pingyang shook his head.Having become addicted to cigarettes, he lit a cigarette and said, "Grandpa, do you know Dream Gu? I saw it in an ancient book in the study, but I couldn't find it."

"Dream Gu? Of course I know. Not only do I know, I've also encountered it before."

"When did it happen? Grandpa, please tell me in detail. I don't know much about this ancient sorcery."

"Yeah." Qiao Ran said slowly, "It's indeed a long time ago. At that time, I was about the same age as you are now, and the person who got the dream bug was your grandma."

Qiao Pingyang: "How come? Grandma is an ordinary person, so she shouldn't offend any evil spirits."

"Your grandma suddenly told me one day that she seemed to have the same dream all the time recently, but she couldn't remember what she dreamed about. I didn't pay attention to it at first. Later, her health gradually deteriorated due to dreaming all night, and often I was sweating profusely at night, and when I woke up more and more in a trance, I realized there was a problem." Qiao Ran picked up the teacup while recalling, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "My first instinct is that she I have been infected by a Gu. But after searching her whole body, there is no trace of Gu insect imprint, and I can’t detect any abnormality in her body with spiritual power. The thing is very strange. After thinking about it all night, I thought of Dream Gu.”

Hearing that grandma's experience so far is very similar to my own, it is almost certain that this time it is also a dream Gu.Qiao Pingyang listened silently, smoking a cigarette.

"The so-called dream Gu is an illusion created by demons using demonic power. In the illusion, it can gradually absorb the essence of people. To put it bluntly, it is Yangshou. Although this kind of witchcraft has relatively large restrictions, the essence that can be absorbed in each illusion is not limited. There are many, but the advantage is that no other Gu technique can match, that is, the Gu itself is not on the person, but attached to the object. Therefore, it is difficult to find the body of the Gu."

"So that's the case." Qiao Pingyang silently wrote down every word his grandfather said in his heart, "Then how did you find out the real body?"

Qiao Ran smiled self-deprecatingly, "To tell you the truth, it was a coincidence. Seeing that your grandma's body was getting weaker and weaker, I tried various methods but couldn't find the real body. There is something, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a very thin Gu worm, which was burrowing into it. I opened my eyes and followed the evil spirit of the Gu worm to find its parasitic place, and it turned out to be a pearl necklace I gave to your grandma."

"What happened next?" Qiao Pingyang asked.

"I crushed the Gu worm to death. Because your grandma's condition is not very good, and sometimes she can't get out of bed. If you keep the Gu worm, you may be able to find clues and find out who the monster is. But your grandma can't wait anymore. .”

"Do you have anyone you suspect?"

Qiao Ran replied with a clear conscience, "No. I have never spared any fallen demons who harm innocent people. None of the demons who have crossed paths with me would do such a thing."

Qiao Pingyang thanked Qiao Ran for telling him about Dream Gu, but he had reservations about the last words.
