Chapter 23, Catching Worms

There are actually many ways to lift the curse.

One is to kill the man who casts the spell directly. If no one controls it, the insect will gradually lose its vitality and the curse seal will automatically dissipate.

However, because the "corpse" of the insect remains in the body, the sequelae will be a little serious.

One is to prescribe the right medicine, that is, to target different insects, which can be used to expel, destroy or even induce them.

Then it will be easy to deal with and will not have much impact on the body of the mantra.

There is another type called "using poison to attack poison", which means using thunder means to directly attack the poison insects in the body of the curse.

But this may also have a counterproductive effect. Adding the worm and the curse has reached a close relationship, and then the insect may eventually die.

Shi Zi chose the second one.

In fact, these methods are directly related to the Gu worm, because the curse itself works through the Gu worm.

Putting a curse on a person is actually planting the larvae of the Gu worm and then remotely controlled by the "female worm".

Generally, after the curse is dead, the worms can no longer absorb vitality and replenish their supplies, so they will naturally not live long.

However, the Gu worm can survive in the body for a period of time, so if it cannot be suppressed in time, the Gu worm may be transferred to nearby living people.

Li Shimin didn't know what it was to judge that the eleventh prince Li Jian was not dead, and then he accidentally invited monks from various temples to temporarily suppress the insect to prevent the insect from harming others.

But those monks probably wanted to try their best to save the dead, so they used Buddhism to save them, which allowed the worm to survive.

If they continue like this, the insect will survive in the corpse for at least several days.

But this ritual cannot last for several days, and Li Shimin would not allow it. Sooner or later, he will be buried in peace. By then, the insects will inevitably be transferred to the first person to touch the corpse.

Moreover, the Guworm that absorbs a person's vitality has the conditions to become a "female insect", which means that larvae will also be generated, and then the curse can be spread.

By then, the palace would be in chaos.

It is precisely because of these things that Shi Zi decisively chose to help.

Although he knew that Li Shimin had the protection of his destiny and would not have anything to do, his prince and concubines might not have such a good life.

Just like the tenth prince who was only older than Li Jian, his mother was Concubine Yan Xian, who also had two sons for Li Shimin.

Compared to Li Jian, Li Shimin obviously attaches much importance to Li Xiao's attitude, especially in front of his mother and brother, he has to show his kind side of the father, staring at Shi Zi's "action" tightly, and he doesn't even dare to blink.

The others stood aside curiously and fearfully, watching quietly.

Only Concubine Yan Xian was supported by her eldest son and stood next to the stool. She wanted to say something, but she was worried that she would disturb the "wild dog Taoist priest".

While "practice", Shi Zi was also explaining on his own: "This kind of curse is called the Heart-Devouring Gu. It is a person's natal worm. After it produces larvae, it is placed into the human body through diet, and absorbs the essence of life in its body, and gradually develops..."

In fact, in his opinion, those who use this kind of curse are really not smart, and ordinary immortals don’t bother to use it.

But from another perspective, it is precisely because of the identity of Emperor Tang that many immortal methods cannot be used casually, because it may be too big to attract attention.

Especially curses involve cause and effect, which will not only be easily perceived by other immortals, but will also cause damage to oneself.

On the contrary, such insects, which are still in the ordinary category, play a role in subtle influence and are not easy to attract attention. Even those monks who are familiar with some magic have never seen it, which shows that the methods of the spell casters are also clever.

Second, if an accident occurs, the backlash can be ignored.

Although natal Guworms are related to life, those who have achieved success in their practice should pay more attention to the laws of cause and effect than the birth year they are born.

It’s like a few decades of life span may cause serious damage to the vitality, but a few hundred years ago will have little impact on the life span.

Then he continued: "The body of the mantra will appear in the form of a mantra seal, which is suspected to be a skin disease, but in fact it will be terminally ill and gradually lose its energy and spirit, which will lead to the body being overwhelmed and eventually die.

"The original method of coping should be to induce it with a curse, and then to excrete it out of the body through normal metabolism. However, because the prince is still young, this method may cause damage to the body, so..."

When he said this, the audience suddenly widened their eyes and watched a ray of light suddenly appear in Shi Zi's hand. The light turned into a big hand, and there were tweezers in his hand. Of course, they did not recognize the tweezers, only knowing that it was like a clipping object.

Shi Zi did use this thing to pick up things, and actually penetrated into the prince's body directly, and then grabbed a bug in his body.

It was obviously a virtual probe, but after it was raised outside the body, the bug that was struggling in the tweezers slowly turned into a solid body.

All this seems very simple to others, but Shi Zi is controlling him, even if he has high cultivation, he still has to carefully control his own strength in such subtleties, so as not to accidentally hurt the little prince.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Looking at the little prince on the stool, he was still asleep, as if he was not affected at all.

However, Shi Zi still raised his hand and pressed it on his forehead to help him make up for some lost energy so as not to cause any subsequent changes.

As for what happens to him later, it has nothing to do with the insects, and naturally it has nothing to do with Shi Zi, so there is no need for him to pay attention to it.

Finally, he placed the bug directly on a tray that no one could see when he took it out. The bug was still jumping around at this time.

"ah!"

Because the shape of the bugs that came out was a little disgusting and even a little hideous, the women and children around them were shocked to see it.

In addition to Empress Changsun, the only one who can remain calm is the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Even Li Shimin was slightly shocked. When he thought of such a thing in his two young sons, one of them had been killed, he felt heartbroken and disgusted.

"Come on, get this thing..."

"Let's go!" Shi Zi raised his hand to stop it, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this bug can survive outside the body for a while, but if it is eliminated, the person behind the scenes will definitely notice it, and may never know who is behind the scenes who commands all this.

"I did not kill him directly, and this is precisely because of this consideration. However, this insect will not survive for too long, so I must take out the insects from the other prince's body as soon as possible to use them to locate the mastermind behind the scenes..."

He was worried that a bug would not have strong vitality enough. If they wanted to locate it, they might not be able to bear their magic power.

Li Shimin also reacted, nodded immediately, and immediately ordered the monks to be invited away.

Anyway, just find a reason, as long as you can live up to your face, it will not be considered offensive.

But if there is really a strong monk, then is his dignified emperor really afraid of offending others? He just doesn't want to do so, and he must not be able to do so.

Then he stood up and said to Shi Zi: "Master, please follow me..."
