Chapter 293 Corrosive Gu
"Go down and talk!"
Long Nier glanced at the bedroom and pulled me downstairs.
Arriving at a therapy room on the second floor, Long Nier closed the door, picked up Xiao Ba, and placed her at the door to guard it and make sure no one was eavesdropping.
Her series of actions made my heart tighten.
"Nier, tell me, what exactly is wrong with Xiaoli?" I asked in a deep voice.
"Little Fox has been poisoned by a Gu!" Long Nier said in a deep voice.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Brother, I may not be able to confirm other things, but when it comes to casting spells, no one is better than me!" Long Nier said.
"How could Little Fox have been infected with a Gu poison? What is Third Master good for?" I said through gritted teeth.
"Brother, is it possible that the Gu poison on Xiaoli was planted by someone at Third Master's behest?" Long Nier said.
"Didn't Third Master want to use her to absorb luck? Why did he use a curse to harm her?" I couldn't understand.
"Brother, there are many kinds of Gu. Some Gu are not meant to kill people, but to bewitch their minds!" Long Nier said.
"Isn't Xiao Li already under a bewitching spell?" I asked anxiously.
"Brother, don't worry, I recognize the Gu on Xiaoli's body and know how to cure it!" Long Nier grabbed me and whispered.
"Can you solve it?" I asked.
"I can solve it!" Long Nier nodded.
I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What kind of Gu was planted on that little fox?"
"Shadow Gu, also known as Erosion Gu!" Long Nier said.
"The Mind-Eating Gu?" I repeated, saying, "Is it still aimed at bewitching the mind?"
"Um!"
Long Nier nodded and said, "It's not just about bewitching people's minds; the Soul-Eating Gu can alter a person's perception, making them fall in love with someone they don't love and give everything for that person. Besides, it can also transfer one's destiny!"
"The key is to shift the fate of the nation!" I said coldly.
"That's right!"
Long Nier leaned closer and said, "Where we're from, the Shadow Gu is also called the Luck Gu, and its crafting conditions are extremely demanding!"
"Tell me, what's going on with this Gu poison?" I said.
"Um!"
Long Nier snorted and said, "The materials needed to refine the Devouring Thought Gu are virgin blood essence, midnight grave dew, and the yin marrow of a hundred-year-old tree. Of these three materials, only the yin marrow of the hundred-year-old tree is somewhat difficult to obtain, but it's not too difficult. The truly difficult one is the last material!"
"What's the last ingredient?" I asked.
"It's a part of the refiner's soul!" Long Nier said.
"One soul?"
I glanced down at Long Nier and said, "You mean the refiner needs to sacrifice one of their own souls, merging it into the Gu, is that right?"
"yes!"
Long Nier nodded and said, "That's precisely why the Devouring Thought Gu is so precious, and very few people can successfully refine it!"
"If you fail, it's easy to drive yourself crazy, isn't it?" I said.
"That's right!"
Long Nier let out a breath and said, "I didn't expect that Third Master could find someone like this. Even in our area, no one has been able to successfully refine the Devouring Spirit Gu for many years, mainly because no one dares to!"
"Does the Devouring Thought Gu, like other Gu worms, also invade the human body?" I asked.
"no!"
Long Nier shook her head and said, "The Devouring Thought Gu mainly attaches itself to the area between a person's eyebrows; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to detect it!"
"How so?" I asked.
"After you left, Xiao Li said she was tired and wanted to rest. We shared a blanket, and when she nestled in my arms and whispered to me, I smoothed her hair and touched her forehead. My natal Gu gave a warning, and that's how I noticed it!" Long Nier said.
"Can you solve it?" I asked.
"Brother, with Gu poison, as long as you know what kind of Gu poison has been used, you can usually cure it. But at the same time, the other party will definitely notice!" Long Nier said.
"Will this kind of mind-corroding Gu cause any harm to Xiao Li's body?" I asked.
"No!"
Long Nier shook her head and said, "I reckon Third Master used the Eroding Spirit Gu to absorb Little Fox's luck!"
"In other words, Xiao Li absorbs the luck of those big names in the entertainment industry, and then Third Master absorbs Xiao Li's luck!" I said.
As for what methods Third Master used to absorb Xiao Li's luck, we both tacitly refrained from mentioning it; it's obvious!
Xiao Li now considers Third Master her lover.
There's no way to deal with this unless the bewitching spell on Xiao Li is removed and the mind-corroding Gu in her forehead is drawn out.
That's why we've all tacitly avoided mentioning Third Master during our meetings.
"Brother, the Soul-Eating Gu is different from other Gu. It is formed by the condensation of Yin energy and the resentment of the living. It is not a Gu in the traditional sense; it belongs to the category of Spirit Gu!"
As she spoke, Long Nier propped herself up from my embrace and said, "The adult Corrosive Gu is a transparent, thread-like creature, only as thin as a hair. Removing it is both simple and not simple!"
"How so?" I asked.
"It's not simple because the Soul-Eating Gu is very difficult to remove with magic. It parasitizes the area between a person's eyebrows. If you try to remove it by force, it may burrow deeper and deeper into the brain. At that point, even a god would have a hard time saving it!" Long Nier said.
"Is it simple?" I asked.
"It's simple because the Devouring Spirit Gu is afraid of the juice of the Yangyan Grass. All you need to do is apply the juice of the Yangyan Grass to the forehead of the person who has been infected with the Gu, and the Devouring Spirit Gu will manifest and wither!" Long Nier said.
"Is Yangyan Grass easy to find?" I asked.
"Yangyan Grass is a unique medicinal herb found only in our Miao region; it's very rare!" Long Nier said.
"This is going to be difficult!" I said.
"Brother, after May, I'll go back to Miao territory to pick some Yangyan grass and extract its juice!" Long Nier said.
"Is it safe?" I asked.
"No danger!"
Long Nier leaned closer to me and said, "With this juice, we've at least left Xiao Li a backup plan. What I'm most worried about now is that one day Third Master will think Xiao Li is no longer of any use and let that Gu Master control the Devouring Gu, letting it burrow into Xiao Li's head and turn her into an idiot!"
After saying that, Ni'er asked, "Brother, do you think Little Fox's mother knows about this?"
"I probably don't know about the Devouring Spirit Gu or the Qi-absorbing Gu, but its relationship with Third Master can't be kept secret!" I said.
"So she's just going to watch?" Long Nier asked.
"What can we do if we don't keep an eye on her? She needs to live too, and her husband needs to live too!"
"Besides, Xiao Li looks perfectly healthy now, no different from a normal person. The key is that she's also very wealthy. In this society where poverty is mocked but prostitution is not, money can solve many problems!"
I said slowly.
"I just feel a little suffocated!" Long Nier said.
"Sigh, let's just take it one step at a time. At least Xiao Li is doing alright for now!" I said helplessly.
