Chapter 545: Wu Yun is Poisoned
"I just saw some records in ancient books and wanted to give it a try. Anyway, it's better to try it out than not. That's what my master told me.
He often studies these strange things, and I have also heard some of them. If it weren't for the improvement of my cultivation this time, I wouldn't dare to do it. I was too focused and tired. "Ning Siyue nodded.
“I’m fine, my hand isn’t fully healed, it’s just a little bit weaker than before, but it’s definitely not as good as before after the injury.
But I have been having dreams recently, as if I never get enough sleep. As a monk, I don’t necessarily need to sleep to restore my energy like ordinary people do. I just need to meditate.
I don’t know why, but I always feel tired if I don’t sleep. But as soon as I fall asleep, I always have dreams. There are all kinds of strange things in my dreams, but they always make me feel uneasy! "Wu Yun explained.
"Grandpa, when did you start? How come we don't know about this?" Wu Ji Yang asked.
"Yeah, why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Wu Jishuang agreed.
“They are just small things. Since I suffered a little there, plus I am old and not practicing well, I may not be able to bear it.
I just slept a little longer and felt a little tired." Wu Yun didn't care.
But Shangguan Tai's face gradually darkened.
"Master, what's wrong?" You Yujin knew Shangguan Tai best, and seeing this, he must have something wrong.
"Do you have any other problems?" Shangguan Tai asked.
“No, I just feel powerless in my cultivation, as if I am not making any progress no matter how hard I practice.
But it may be that I am overthinking. I can't think that I can achieve a breakthrough just by practicing, right?
But there is still something different, I can’t explain it, I always feel like no matter how I practice meditation, I can’t seem to slow down!” Wu Yun smiled bitterly.
"Elder Shangguan, what happened to my grandfather?" Wu Ji Yang asked hurriedly.
"I suspect you've been poisoned by a poisonous insect!" Shangguan Tai shook his head.
"Broken life worm?" Wu Ji Yang was puzzled.
“Yes, this is a common type of poisonous insect. However, the poisonous insect is called a sorcery. When it first appeared, it had many benefits.
But there are more ways to use it for evil. Someone once refined a kind of poisonous insect and made a contract with it for the purpose of practicing.
Later, they put this insect on a human body. When the insect drilled into the human body, it would continuously absorb the essence, blood, flesh and blood, and most importantly, the spiritual power of the person.
These things are absorbed, digested by the poisonous insects, and then return to the hands of the person who practices the poison. After being swallowed, they will gradually release energy in the person's body again, thus achieving the purpose of practice.
This evil technique is extremely vicious. Once the poisonous insect gets into a person's body, it can suck the person dry in just seven days. When the person dies, he will be in extreme pain as his body contents have been sucked dry.
Even the internal organs will turn into blood and be absorbed by the poisonous insect, and when the person dies, only an empty skin will remain. It is said that even the head is empty. "Shangguan Tai explained.
"Yes, and similar poisonous insects are emerging one after another. Some of them are for the purpose of cultivation, just as Junior Brother Shangguan mentioned.
Some are for the purpose of control, which is similar to the effect of the Soul-Guiding Poison in Ning Xin, and most of those who are poisoned will not have a good ending!
Gu worms usually erode people's vitality. Even if the intention is not to do so, the worms still need to grow. When they cannot get any nutrients, they will unconsciously absorb them through the body of the person who is poisoned, and eventually suck the life out of them.
So slowly, the Gu worms were banned by many righteous people and gradually disappeared. Of course, another reason for their disappearance is that Gu worms are difficult to raise. It is not easy to raise a Gu worm that grows successfully, not to mention that you have to do so many things with the Gu worm!
It is said that southern Xinjiang is the best at raising poisonous insects, and many poisonous insects will subconsciously hide when they enter the human body. After all, poisonous insects also have their own instinctive reactions.
It hides in the human body and is usually difficult to identify. Most people only discover the presence of the insect when they notice something is wrong with their body.
But the Gu worm itself is a living creature, so it has its own instincts. When they enter the human body, they will hide, one of the purposes of which is to protect themselves. "Fangshan went on to explain.
"What about my grandfather's..." Wu Jishuang listened and became a little anxious.
“Fortunately, if it is really as I guessed, this kind of Gu worm is a relatively low-level Gu worm, and its intelligence is not high, it is not difficult to lure it out!
But we have to first see whether it is really this kind of poisonous insect that is causing trouble?
Well, tomorrow I will prepare and try to lure out the Broken Spirit Insect first to see if the Broken Spirit Insect is really in your body?" Shangguan Tai said.
"Could it be as you said? They are too cunning and cannot be lured out?" Wu Ji Yang asked.
Shangguan Tai shook his head. "The Broken Spirit Insect is a low-level poisonous insect. Its nature is that when it enters the human body, in order to supply its own growth, it will subconsciously absorb some essence and spiritual energy, and even essence, blood and flesh to maintain its body.
Therefore, as long as you can create something more attractive than your grandfather, you can attract the Broken Spirit Insect. However, these are some preliminary judgments, which may not necessarily mean that your grandfather has this kind of Gu worm.
But based on my diagnosis just now, there should be nothing wrong with your grandfather. His injuries have almost recovered. However, it may be because of the situation your grandfather mentioned, so his injuries are recovering relatively slowly!
I also made part of the judgment based on his injuries, and since he had no internal injuries or any special circumstances, I could only guess!
Siyue, come and take a look and see if you can find some other different problems!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Siyue also walked forward, put her hand on Wu Yun's pulse, and carefully felt it.
“The pulse is steady, nothing seems wrong.
Grandpa Wu, don't be on guard, I'll try to use my mental power to investigate!" Ning Siyue said.
Wu Yun said nothing and just nodded.
Ning Siyue asked Wu Yun to relax his body, and then probed into Wu Yun's body. She was also very curious about what the so-called Gu worm looked like.
Ning Siyue probed all the way to Dantian, and suddenly a black shadow flew over. Ning Siyue hurriedly chased it, but it soon disappeared!
"What's wrong?" Wu Jishuang looked at Ning Siyue with a frown, feeling a little anxious.
“I saw something, but I didn’t see clearly what it was, it just flashed by and disappeared!
Maybe there really is something there, but how did it get in?" Ning Siyue asked.
