Chapter 20: Gu worms (Part 3)

March 29, 2023Ai Hrist

It was just that the old witch has never stepped out of the mountain. She was short-sighted and self-confident. She thought that the camera carried by the program team was the same as those who went into the mountain to shoot documentaries before and needs to be edited and released.

She didn’t even know that there was something called ‘live streaming’ in this world.

The program group’s tour at Poshi village has long been watched online by millions of viewers, and related hot searches were still hanging up on the Internet.

Even if they were killed by gu worms in the mountains, the police would come directly to them.

Li Chenghe: “What secret did you discover about her?!”

“These Poshi villagers aren’t the kind of mountain guards at all. They are a clan of tomb guards that have been passed down from ancient times to the present.” Gu Zhisang’s tone was flat as if she was talking about an unimportant thing:

“What we are stepping on should be a large imperial tomb.”

Li Chenghe: “?!!”

“Call the police first.” Gu Zhisang said, dialed the police line, and the operator on the other end answered:

“Hello, this is the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Gu Zhisang said: “I found a large-scale and well-preserved tomb group in Popo Mountain. It is estimated that it should be an emperor’s tomb more than 600 years ago. It needs to be taken over by the authorities. In addition, I want to report that the village chief of Poshi Village, used gu worms to kill tourists. In an attempt to silence them, please send police as soon as possible.”

The operator: “???”

When he heard that he doubted life, what kind of tombs, Gu worms, this person must be making up stories to report false information, which can waste the police force!

But then he listened to the female voice on the other end of the phone: “I’m not joking. You can report it to your superiors. There is information about these things long ago.”

The operator frowned. After all, this was the border of the Southern Province. There were indeed many mysterious legends, among which there are rumors about the Popo Mountain Tomb.

After hesitating for a moment, he was still skeptical and called his superior.

Soon one call after another was transmitted upwards, and the operator also received an urgent question…

Li Chenghe, who heard the shocking secret, was full of doubts, but he knew that now was not the time to ask.

One by one, Gu Zhisang used the “Elimination Curse” that she cast just now to remove Gu worms from others who were unconscious.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the small house they lived in. An anxious Bai Ci came. Seeing Gu Zhisang and the other staff retching, he breathed a sigh of relief:

“You also discovered it? The people on our side have no major problems.”

Those Gu worms didn’t even get close to him and the others, they just disappeared and were eaten up by his hedgehogs.

Gu Zhisang gave him a meaningful look. After he averted his gaze, he said: “There are still a group of people living in the southernmost part, I’ll go there now.”

Bai Ci said: “I’ll go too.”

The two of them walked to the house on the south side and found that it was quiet there. Gu Zhisang kicked open the door and walked in, narrowing her eyes slightly when he saw a young man in cotton cloth lying in the bed.

He Mitu rubbed his eyes, as if awakened by the sound, and asked in surprise: “Why are you here?”

Gu Zhisang: “… …”

“They were bewitched, don’t you know?”

He Mitu was shocked: “How could this happen? I didn’t even notice it, maybe those Gu worms sensed my breath and avoided me automatically.”

This explanation was far-fetched. As a witch who learned to play Gu, he didn’t find that Gu worms had entered the house. Gu Zhisang didn’t believe it, but she didn’t know why this person felt it. Also, he didn’t take action to stop it, let alone help.

She saw the people who were knocked down by the Gu worms lying on the bed in disorder.

A decent person like Xun Yiqing was completely unprepared for these insidious tricks and even fell for them.

She only opened up one acupuncture point of Xun Yiqing, and the other party forced the Gu worm out by himself. It turned out that he had discovered the moment the Gu worm entered his body, and had been sealing off the hole to prevent it from being invaded further.

After realizing that he was saved by Gu Zhisang, Xun Yiqing’s expression was stiff: “Thank you…”

Over there, Bai Ci also forced out the Gu worms in the other two people’s bodies, and they were directly swallowed by the giant hedgehog at his feet;

When he came to the last man, the man was not doing well because of the long delay.

Gu worms were only as big as a hair strand at first, but once they enter a person’s body, they start to devour their vitality and flesh and blood, expanding and growing.

The Gu worms used by the old witch were an extremely vicious and greedy type, which can eat up a living person in two or three hours.

The other contestants who came to their senses also knew the seriousness of the situation. Daisy turned pale: “What should we do now?”

Gu Zhisang frowned, “The worm is in his heart now. It’s not easy to force it out, it will damage his heart and lung organs.”

Xun Yiqing stood up abruptly, “I’ll go and catch that old hag!”

At this moment, the old monk, who had always been kind and silent, clasped his hands together and said, “Let this poor monk try it.”

He stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves, only then did Gu Zhisang see that the skin on his arm was bumpy. The old monk cut his arm and placed it on the unconscious man’s chest, blood gushing down his fingers immediately. There was a strange fishy sweetness in the air.

“This is?” Others had never seen such a method, but Gu Zhisang was a little surprised.

According to legend, the Tathagata cut his meat to feed the eagle and fed his body to the tiger. He practiced the way of compassion to the extreme and finally became a Buddha immediately.

The way Zen was practiced by this monk was the way of compassion, which belongs to a kind of ascetic monk. It needs to cultivate the mind and body. It was a very difficult and harsh Buddhist practice.

Even she only saw it once in her previous life. She didn’t expect there to be such a Buddhist cultivator in the “Spiritual Affairs” program group.

After the old monk’s blood dripped onto the man’s chest, a small bulge appeared there not long after, and a big worm as thick as a thumb crawled out of it, greedily sucking the monk’s blood.

Gu Zhisang quickly picked it up and sealed it in a glass bottle. After that, all the Gu worms in everyone’s bodies have been eliminated.

She took out a talisman from her sleeve with her backhand and put it between her fingers. When she raised her hand, the talisman burned on her fingertips. After stuffing it into the bottle, it burned the Gu worms inside. Crackling sounds sounded as the gu worms struggled continuously.

In the main house of Poshi Village closest to the ancestral hall, there was a sharp and painful cry. The villagers who heard the sound put on their clothes and rushed in. They saw the village head mother lying on the bed with half of her body under the bed and vomited a mouthful of blood.

“Grandma, are you okay?!”

The village head mother looked resentful. She didn’t expect that all her Gu would be caught so quickly, and she would be backlashed directly: “It’s them…don’t let them run away!”

The mission of their clan was to protect the ancestral land for a lifetime, and it must not be destroyed by others!

The villagers gritted their teeth and said, “It was those outsiders who hurt you? I knew they shouldn’t be allowed in. I’ll call the villagers to catch them now!”

Soon, every house in the village turned on the lights. When they heard that the village head mother had been hurt by a stranger, hundreds of families in the village rushed out, rushing towards the small house with hammers and axes.

The program team, including the staff, and their group were only more than 30 people, and they have no advantage at all in front of a group of aggressive villagers with weapons.

Hearing the approaching sounds and scolding from outside, Li Chenghe and others showed panic: “What should we do now? These villagers don’t make any sense at all, and we can’t reason with them at all!”

Daisy sneered and suddenly took out a knife from her bosom: “Don’t be afraid of these people. Do they think they are only the ones who know how to practice witchcraft? If they dare to come over, I will let them taste the substitution Gu!”

Substitute Gu was a kind of witchcraft in the Norwegian witchcraft sect. The witch uses her own body as a medium, and all the wounds that hurt her body will be transferred to another body.

So to say, if Daisy stabs herself, a knife injury will appear on the opposite villager’s body. If she twists her neck, the other person will directly die.

Gu Zhisang frowned, and stretched out her hand to block it: “Witchcraft has backlash, there’s no need for it.”
