Chapter 463 Seven-Aperture Heart-Eating Gu
"Seven Orifices Heart-Eating Gu!"
Long Nier thought for a moment and then uttered a name.
"What kind of Gu is this?" I asked.
"This is my unique forbidden Gu technique. It doesn't cultivate ferocity or killing; it only cultivates itching, pain, decay, and regret." Long Nier narrowed her eyes, grasped my hand, and said, "Those who dared to lay a hand on you, Brother, I must make them understand the price of offending us!"
"Death is too easy for Wu Peiwen. Killing him isn't shocking enough. I want them to watch Wu Peiwen suffer!"
"The more miserable and distressed Wu Peiwen is, the greater the shock to them!"
"Ni'er, are you trying to make an example of someone?" I said.
"That's right, it's about making an example of someone!"
Long Nier gripped my hand tightly and said, "I've been afflicted by my Seven Orifices Heart-Eating Gu. All seven orifices are itchy: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, throat, scalp, back of neck, and tailbone. The itching comes from deep within the bones, and scratching until the skin is raw doesn't help."
"Besides that, every day at midnight and noon, I experience excruciating pain in my bones, like being pierced by a thousand needles. There's no way to relieve it; I can only endure it. I want him to faint from the pain, and then wake up from it. He won't recover until he gets through those two hours!"
"Will it still itch after it heals?" I asked.
"That's right!" Long Nier nodded.
"Nier, you're really good at this!" I swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably itchy all over.
"Ni'er, this Gu is so powerful, what will you have to give up?"
The next moment, a thought struck me: everything in this world is equivalent. Gu is so powerful, Long Nier must have had to pay a price when she refined it.
"I need a drop of my essence blood!" Long Nier pondered for a moment and slowly said, "If you want to remove the curse, either I will do it myself, or you kill me, dig out my heart, and use it as medicine!"
"Won't there be any backlash or anything?" I asked.
"Brother, don't worry, it won't happen. This kind of Gu is called Gu, but you can actually think of it as a special kind of poison!" Long Nier said.
"That puts my mind at ease. I was just worried that some expert from the Xuanmen Association might forcibly break the code, and you would suffer a backlash!" I said softly.
"Don't worry, brother, I know what I'm doing!" Long Nier said.
"That's good!" I nodded.
An hour later, Fatty Lin came out with two women.
Compared to before she went in, Yang Xiaoyou's complexion was noticeably rosier.
Unlike before, Fatty Lin didn't flirt with the two women much this time. He simply said a few words and sent them away.
"Why so fast today?"
After the two women left, I made a joke.
"I'm thinking about how to get back at them. If it weren't for you, I would have taken them both out to a hotel!" Fatty Lin snorted, looking at him as if he were a dog biting Lü Dongbin and not appreciating his kindness.
"You're smart to know what's good for you!"
I snorted and told Fatty Lin about Long Nier's plan.
"That's how we have to do it!"
After listening, Fatty Lin clapped his hands and asked, "Ni'er, when do you plan to start refining Gu?"
"The Seven Orifices Heart-Eating Gu must be refined on the two unlucky days of each month. The day after tomorrow is the day of the Ox. I will refine the Gu the day after tomorrow, and then go to find Wu Peiwen the day after that!" Long Nier said.
"What do you need us two to do?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Help me prepare the materials, and also protect me while you're at it!" Long Nier said.
"No problem, Nier, just tell us what you need, and we'll prepare it!" Fatty Lin said.
"Seven types of shady earthworms are needed!"
Long Nier counted on her fingers and said, "These seven kinds of yin insects correspond to the seven orifices of the human body: the grave eye lice, the yin ear ant, the nasal decay beetle, the throat-locking silkworm, the head-wrapping mite, the neck-feathering moth, and the bone-boring nematode!"
After she finished speaking, Long Nier explained to us what these things were.
Grave lice are small insects that live in decaying coffins; ear ants are ants that grow under the soil of grave mounds; nasal maggots are maggots that live in damp places and are best found on corpses; throat-locking worms are a type of filarial worm found in the roots of old bamboo; head-entangled mites are ash found on the old beams of ancient temples; neck-clipping moths are small moths that live in damp places; and bone-boring nematodes are a type of small insect that grows under the roots of century-old trees.
Some of these things are easy to handle, and some are not, but none of them are major problems.
After making the list, the three of us split up to collect these seven materials.
Of these seven materials, only the bone-boring nematode is difficult to obtain; the others are all quite easy to acquire.
There are many cemeteries and mass graves on Hong Kong Island, so grave lice and ear ants are very easy to get rid of, and the other species are not difficult either.
We finished collecting everything in less than a day.
At 3:45 AM on the night of June 25th.
This day was the Ox Day of the Xin Chou Double Evil, with Yin energy permeating the top of the head, making it the perfect time to refine the Seven Apertures Heart-Eating Gu.
In the room on the third floor, only one lamp was lit. Fatty Lin and I each guarded two corners of the room, while Long Ni'er sat cross-legged in the center of the room, with a small bronze cauldron about the size of an adult's palm in front of her.
Long Nier looked at the small cauldron, let out a soft breath, and took out the seven materials one by one. She then took out three additional ingredients, one of which was three grams of vengeful spirit ashes, which were the ashes of people who died from evil magic.
These three grams of ashes were made from the ashes left after the wig was burned, which can be considered a way to make use of waste.
Secondly, three ginseng roots are used to strengthen life force and ensure Wu Peiwen's survival.
Thirdly, one mace of cinnabar calming powder was added to lock the heart meridian and prevent Wu Peiwen from committing suicide.
After arranging the items, Long Nier formed a hand seal, first dripping blood from her fingertip into the cauldron, and then placing the seven ingredients into the cauldron simultaneously.
After the ingredients were placed into the cauldron, the cauldron trembled slightly, but quickly returned to calm.
We couldn't see the specifics inside the cauldron, but we could see that Long Nier's expression was very solemn.
About a minute later, Long Nier scattered the ashes of the vengeful spirit into the room.
The moment the ashes were scattered, the cauldron trembled again and was stained with a layer of ink.
Long Nier's expression tightened, and she immediately placed the ginseng rootlets and cinnabar powder into the cauldron.
After the two items were placed into the cauldron, Long Nier made a hand seal and chanted an incantation: "First prisoner itches, second prisoner suffers pain, third prisoner is plagued by bad luck."
"It does not devour hearts, nor does it take lives; it only leaves people in the world to suffer punishment."
"When the seven orifices open and ten thousand bones creak, there will never be a day of peace in this life."
"No one may be awakened without my command; there is no one in the world who can escape this punishment."
Each time a spell was recited, the cauldron would tremble.
Lin the Fat and I exchanged a glance. This incantation was enough to send chills down our spines.
There was another meaning in our eyes: luckily, Long Nier is one of us.
Besides that, I also read a hidden meaning in Fatty Lin's words: you better not cheat on your partner in this life, or you'd better pray for good luck!
"It's done!"
The next moment, Long Nier opened her eyes and said with a smile, "This Gu does not touch blood, does not adhere to bones, and does not enter the internal organs. It is hidden in the Qi channels. Instruments cannot detect it, Taoist magic cannot detect it, black magic cannot touch it, and even a master cannot suppress it."
"Hey, you actually managed to make a rhyming couplet!" I said with a fake laugh, teasingly. Only I knew how flustered I was inside.
