Chapter 67: Fate Gu
Since the first time I saw Fang Baihua in Lingzhou and went to Jiangning to teach him the four styles of Juque, Xu Ziling knew clearly that Fang Baihua had not yet arrived at the realm.
Even though he didn't know the division of martial arts realm at that time, he could feel that although Sister Baihua was much stronger than him, she was far from being as strong as she is now.
Zhou Ti, Fang Shu, Gongsun Yu, Fang La, and Fang Baihua. So far, there are as many as five martial artists as he knows. In addition, Taoist Qingxuan, Taoist Shenxu and other talented people cannot see the depth of their strength. The martial artists in the world are obviously not as rare as they imagined, but most of them are not revealed in the world.
Seeing Fang Baihua easily condense the true energy into a lotus, Xu Ziling was very envious. Even Zhou Ti, Fang Baihua said that he was about to break through to the realm, but he himself did not feel that since the temperature of the true energy changed a few days ago, it has remained unchanged.
As if he saw what Xu Ziling was thinking, Fang Baihua comforted softly: "Anyone's true energy has a change that can be perceived, he will eventually reach the ultimate realm. You don't need to worry about this."
However, what Fang Baihua didn't say thoroughly was the uncertainty of the stage from perception to complete transformation. Some took three or five months, some for three or five years, and some for most of their lives.
Xu Ziling seemed to have taken a reassurance, nodded, and saw that Fang La was not seen around him, and asked, "Sister, where has Brother Fang been? Have you left the city?"
Fang Baihua was about to answer when she suddenly saw the two people walking in at the door and pointed at them.
Xu Ziling looked back and saw Fang La walking in with a woman.
Unlike Fang La's breath, she seemed to be a civilian in the city, but the woman showed her sharpness and exuded a cold temperament in her every move. The colorful and gorgeous dress was embroidered with snakes, scorpions and worms, as if the four big words "Don't get close to a stranger" were written.
The woman was wearing a veil, and her strange head covered most of her forehead, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. After following Fang La to Xu Ziling, she glanced at him faintly.
"This is Miss Lu Xinlu, the saint of the Five Immortals Sect," Fang La looked at Xu Ziling, "She will see the situation of the poison for you. Gu An has already begun to order martial law, so I will go back to Qingxi first."
After saying that, Fang La turned around and left, and turned around and said something when he walked to the door.
"I will not come here alone when I come to Hangzhou City next time."
After Fang La left, Xu Ziling looked at the woman in front of him for a long time, and no one wanted to speak first. After a while, Xu Ziling couldn't resist and asked, "I wonder how Miss Lu will treat me?"
"Stretch your hand out." The woman said coldly.
Xu Ziling thought about it and felt that Fang La would not harm him, so he stretched out his palm.
The woman's fingers were bending in her sleeve, and an almost invisible little bug flew into Xu Ziling's palm.
Xu Ziling subconsciously wanted to shake it away, but he was one step late. He felt a pain in his wrist and the little bug drilled into his blood vessels. This little bug was different from Gongsun Yu's Gu insect, and his true energy could easily capture its existence.
Every step the little bug took in his body would bring strong pain. Xu Ziling endured it for a few breaths, but it was really unbearable, so he wanted to kill it. Just as he was about to be lucky, a needle-like pain suddenly came from his waist, which instantly disrupted his internal breathing.
"Don't act rashly," the woman withdrew her fingers on Xu Ziling's waist. "If it dies in your body, even the head of Baihua Valley will not be able to save you here."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ziling had to grit his teeth and let the little bug go straight and straight inside. After a while, he turned over and fell to the ground, rolling on the ground in pain.
Xu Ziling's abnormality in the hall immediately attracted the attention of people around him and looked here. A few people passing by outside the building saw it and looked at it sideways, wanting to see the excitement.
When the woman saw his reaction, she frowned. She probably had never seen such a situation. In the past, she used this worm to drive away poison. Although this worm would suck some of the host's blood, it would not cause such pain.
While he was wondering, Fang Baihua suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to Xu Ziling, grabbed his belt, lifted him up, turned around and walked towards the inner floor of Wuxian Building.
This scene shocked everyone onlookers. The woman was stunned for a while before she woke up and followed. The spectator with some good things also wanted to follow her, but was stopped by the shopkeeper and the waiter.
Fang Baihua held Xu Ziling, who was constantly twitching in one hand, and fiddled the switch of the secret room with the other hand. After the door opened, he threw him in directly. Then he turned around and asked the woman who followed him, "What's going on?!"
Facing Fang Baihua's questioning, the woman was unmoved and said lightly: "I think it was the Gu worm in his body that fought with my Gu worm, which caused him to suffer severe pain. But don't worry, my Gu worm will not fail."
Fang Baihua said in a deep voice: "If something happens to him, I will not let you go."
The woman ignored her and opened the door and entered the secret room. Fang Baihua snorted lightly and followed her into the secret room.
But Xu Ziling was leaning against the wall, gasping for breath, and the woman's insect came out from his wrist again.
The woman hurriedly walked forward and held the worm in her hand. Feeling the information fed back by the worm, the woman's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Natural worm? How is it possible?!"
"What, what is a natal insect?" Xu Ziling gasped, "Can you explain clearly what's going on?"
The woman looked at him and said softly: "The Gongsun family and my Five Immortal Sect are both famous in the world for their poisonous gu art. The Gongsun family uses Gu to control people, while the Five Immortal Sect kills people with Gu. But both the Gongsun family and the Five Immortal Sect have one thing in common: they are both good at using poison to attack poison and destroying Gu with Gu."
"This is also the reason why my Five Immortal Sects have a good relationship with the Gongsun family. The two tribes often exchange some opinions on poisonous medicine, so they are quite familiar with each other's witchcraft and techniques. Master Fang told me that you were the colorful Gu, and my worm is one of the few witchcrafts that can solve the colorful Gu."
"However, what you are among you is not the colorful Gu, but Gongsun Yu's natal Gu. Although my zodiac insect is powerful, I can only compete with them."
"The natal Gu is so powerful?" Xu Ziling frowned.
The woman nodded: "The members of the Gongsun family will raise two types of Gu, the Ming Gu is the twin Gu that is known to be killing and killing, and is used to kill and control people; the dark Gu is the natal Gu that only they know. Most of them are planted in themselves to assist in practicing and resist foreign Gu poison."
Xu Ziling said in confusion: "Then what is the purpose of this Gongsun Yu giving me this poison?"
The woman shook her head slightly: "I don't know this. The natal Gu cannot leave the Gu master for too long. After leaving for too long, they will not get the essence and blood of the Gu master, and they will die in the host's body. Once the natal Gu dies, the Gu master will also be greatly damaged. She did this for your own good. The women of the Gongsun family usually only plant the natal Gu on their lover."
"ah?!"
Xu Ziling was stunned for a while, pulled out the sword on his waist and said, "I have no deep grudges with her. Will it be related to this Chixiao Sword?"
Seeing Chi Xiao, the woman was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Probably so. The Gongsun family and Chi Xiao Sword are indeed quite related, but with her Gongsun Yu's nature, it is really admirable to be able to do this level. You seem to be just one step away from the Supreme Realm, which shows that the help of her natal Gu cannot be ignored."
After hearing the woman's words, Xu Ziling opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He never thought that Gongsun Yu was helping him wholeheartedly. This made no sense?
With Chi Xiao alone, how could she not be able to achieve this? Could it be that she really fell in love with herself when she saw that she was handsome and looked more beautiful than Pan An?
"Since you're fine, I'll say goodbye."
Seeing that everything was done, the woman put the insect in her hand into her sleeve and turned around and left the secret room.
Xu Ziling wanted to ask a few more words, but saw Fang Baihua shook her head at him.
As soon as the woman left, the shopkeeper followed her in, her face was a little excited, and she handed a letter to Fang Baihua.
Fang Baihua took the letter, glanced at it expressionlessly, and threw it to Xu Ziling again.
Xu Ziling grabbed the flying letter paper and looked at it carefully. As he looked, his face became heavier.
The letter wrote about the news from Yunzhou. What happened the day before yesterday could be transmitted to Hangzhou within two days, which is probably inseparable from the special birds trained by Manichaeism.
Just the day before yesterday, the 10,000 army led by Gao Qiu was defeated by Liangshan. This will inevitably cause an uproar again, and Liangshan will be truly famous all over the world.
With the lesson of Hu Yanzhuo's mistaken entry into the "pocket array", Gao Qiu's leadership this time was a steady and steady battle, not greedy for merit, and not aggressive. He also carefully selected the generals of the army. Unlike Hu Yanzhuo's leadership, all of them were "relationship households" when he led the army. These generals and officials were temporarily allocated by high-ranking people in the official army of various prefectures around Bianliang.
With full preparations, the superior army was defeated by Liangshan, which was really puzzled. The letter only wrote a few sentences such as "The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the food and grass were burned and broken into pieces..."
The shopkeeper saw Xu Ziling frowning and was very puzzled. He asked carefully: "The more powerful Liangshan is, the more government troops it can attract. Isn't that a good thing for us? Why is Special Envoy Xu frowning?"
Xu Ziling shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No matter how powerful Liangshan is, Yunzhou is only a few hundred miles away from Bianliang. The imperial army has always been far more than Liangshan. This time, Liangshan may be able to use a wonderful strategy to win, but can you be sure that you can use the same trick again next time?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "Will it be good for us to consume more of the Liangshan Army from the court?"
"Do you think they will fight to the death with the court?" Xu Ziling glanced at him and continued, "I don't know Chao Gai, but I have seen Song Jiang, who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. He doesn't want to be a thief, but he has become the leader of the thief. He can see the situation clearly. If he wants to survive, they must choose to recruit people. However, in order to be more valuable after recruiting people, he will try his best to defeat the imperial army several times so that the emperor and the old man can hear their reputation."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was already sweating profusely and vaguely thought of what Xu Ziling was going to say next.
