Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"There is a parasitic worm in their bodies. This worm has been completely integrated with their flesh and blood, and cannot be detected by the detection of spiritual power and spiritual consciousness. It is this kind of worm that eats their internal organs. The worm is parasitic in their bodies. They are integrated with themselves and remain motionless. Once they move, they will be controlled by the insects. These insects love to eat human flesh, so they will eat human flesh crazily. "

Tangning frowned: "What kind of insect is this?"

Lu Xingxian said: "We don't know yet, but it is certain that they were artificially cultivated. The Forbidden Secret Department took out two worms from his body, each three or four inches long, and blended them into his flesh and blood. They were taken out. Finally, they were all dead before the time for tea."

"This kind of bug can only survive if it parasitizes the human body. Once it leaves the human body, it will die within a few dozen breaths or as long as a cup of tea. It cannot survive on its own and can only be artificially cultivated."

Tang Ning asked: "How is Xu Yunyi? Does the Forbidden Secret Department have any way to deal with this stubborn disease?"

Lu Xingxian said: "There is no way at the moment. His five internal organs are afraid of nothing. The reason why he will not die is because this bug is in the body and forcibly prolongs his life. This bug can replace the five internal organs and provide blood supply and human metabolic functions. As long as As long as the bug doesn't die, he will continue to live as a zombie."

"And once the bug leaves the body, he will die immediately. The Forbidden Secret Department broke open his entire body one by one. The man was still conscious, could not feel the pain, and talked and laughed as before. But as soon as the bug was removed from his body, he immediately I was in so much pain that I lost my breath after wailing for a while.”

Tang Ning said: "So, all the weird things on his body are caused by the bug? The reason why he is not dead is because the bug continuously provides him with blood. And he can't feel pain because the bug has occupied his Niwan Palace and paralyzed him. His whole body.”

"But every time he gets sick, his desire for flesh and blood becomes stronger and his appetite becomes larger and larger. Moreover, he once said that someone with the same disease as him exploded and died. How to explain it?"

Lu Xingxian said: "The people from the Forbidden Secret Department said that the bugs continued to grow in his body. The bugs might not be that big at the beginning. Gradually, the bugs gnawed at his five internal organs and became larger and larger, and their appetite for flesh and blood was reduced. increase accordingly."

"And the insect host itself can no longer satisfy the insect's appetite, so the insect takes control of the host body, so that the act of eating the flesh and blood of living people is actually the insect eating people."

"This has been confirmed. Later we caught another monk who was possessed by an insect. After several months of observation, we found that the insect was indeed growing."

"As for why the body exploded and died, there is no clear conclusion yet. The Forbidden Secret Department speculates that the insect may have grown to a certain level. For some reason, the insect couldn't bear it and exploded to death, so the host body also exploded to death."

Tangning pondered for a while: "If an insect dies immediately after leaving the human body, how did the person behind it breed it?"

Lu Xingxian said: "This is also the question I couldn't figure out to ask at the beginning. The people from the Forbidden Secret Department answered that there is only one possibility. The bug itself grows from the human body. There may be such a mother body that is specially used as a A container for growing bugs.”

"Although bugs will die if they leave the human body, they will be fine as long as they remain in the human body. If necessary, just remove the bugs from the mother's body and quickly put them into another person's body."

"The people from the Forbidden Secret Department also made a verification. This bug can only be stored in the human body, not other living creatures. Whether it is an ordinary beast or a spiritual beast, it will die in an instant."

Tangning asked, "Have you found any clues about the person behind the scenes?"

Lu Xingxian shook his head: "This person is very mysterious. He has no purpose or goal. We captured several insect hosts and found out through interrogation. They were all in different locations when they discovered abnormalities in their bodies. Some were in South China, Some people in Jiangdong, without exception, have lost part of their memory and have forgotten how they got this disease.”

Tang Ning pondered: "He captured these people to serve as the host for the insects, but then he released them all. Could it be that he wanted to observe their changes? If that's the case, the power behind this person must be quite powerful." "

Lu Xingxian said: "Now, not only our Chu State, I have received news that such insect hosts have also been found in the Qi and Wu States. These people have been sick within three and five years."

"There are also Qi and Wu countries?" Tang Ning was slightly shocked. The person behind it committed crimes across the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Qi, and what was the purpose of creating so many walking corpses?

Lu Xingxian said: "You were the first to discover this matter. Who do you think is behind this?"

Tang Ning said: "This...it's hard to say. This person has cultivated so many corpse worms across the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu, Qi, and his purpose is unknown. We can only analyze them from the hosts of these corpse worms. I think the person behind it is either a very hidden and powerful person." He has great power and a large number of people. He has fixed troops in Wu, Chu and Qi."

"Either it is a casual cultivator with a high level of cultivation who acts casually. The host's illness time is within three years and five years. It cannot be ruled out that it is an incident caused by an outside monk passing by Xingang. If these two If not, there is only one possibility. The person behind it is very worried about exposing his identity, so he travels thousands of miles to do it. "

Lu Xingxian nodded and said: "It is similar to our guess. If there is such a big force spanning the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Qi, with so many people, it is impossible for the three Xuanmen sects to not notice any rumors."

"If a highly skilled casual cultivator did it arbitrarily, there is no need to travel around Xingang. We feel that the person behind the scenes released so many corpse insect hosts in Wu, Chu and Qi just to confuse the public. He may be trying to hide his identity. ”

"The ultimate purpose must be to observe the changes in these insect hosts. I think he should be secretly watching a few hosts in a corner, while the other hosts are just cover."

Tangning asked, "Are there any similarities between these corpse insect hosts?"

Lu Xingxian said: "According to what we know so far, he randomly selects people to serve as insect hosts. The hosts include mortals and monks, men, women, old and young. Most of them are monks, all casual cultivators. Half a month ago, there was information reported. , found a foundation-building monk who was suspected to be the insect host."

"Foundation Establishment Monk? Where did you find it?" Tangning was surprised. Originally they were just a group of Qi Refining disciples, but now they have even discovered the host of the Corpse Insect in the Foundation Establishment stage. Who else is hiding behind them!

Lu Xingxian said: "The files submitted by Beiyuan Intelligence Station, there is a rumor there that there is a foundation-building casual cultivator who practiced to the point of going crazy, eating human flesh raw and chewing human bones."

"Can you tell me the origin of the taboo?"

"I don't know yet. There are currently insufficient manpower in the department. This matter is much more complicated than I imagined. If you get the news outside, you can capture this person quickly."

"good"

Lu Xingxian stopped talking and the room fell silent for a moment. Tang Ning stood up and said, "Senior Brother Lu, if there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave now."

"I heard that you have raised a spiritual beast that has reached the second-level realm. This is really rare. We rarely have spiritual beasts in Xingang, let alone second-level spiritual beasts." Lu Xingxian said suddenly.

"Oh, that's right. I got this spirit beast when I participated in the Broken Ridge Mountain Market Auction. I have followed me for decades and I was lucky enough to advance." Tang Ning replied.

He was not surprised that Lu Xingxian knew this information.

The advancement of Little White Snake caused such a big commotion that day. Almost everyone in the intelligence station witnessed the advancement process. It is not uncommon for disciples to report it to the department.

Since he could have spies around Zheng Wei and Xu Qingwan, it was normal for Lu Xingxian to have people around him report their whereabouts.

"Junior brother Tang is still so humble! How can there be so many lucky things in this world! I heard that when your spiritual beast advanced, it caused strange phenomena in the world. Is it true?"

"This is an exaggeration. It seems that many people have not seen the advanced state of spiritual beasts, so they misrepresented it." Tangning said perfunctorily, not wanting to dwell on this matter.

"Oh! So that's it, Junior Brother Tang is also proficient in the way of spiritual beasts?"

"Not a master, just a rough understanding."

"A few days ago, I heard from Junior Brother Qiu Yuan of the Spiritual Animal Science Department that you still have an ant beast egg on your hand? I wonder if you can take it out so that I can see it?"

Tang Ning didn't know what he meant. She suddenly got involved with this spirit beast for no reason. She wanted to see the beast's ovaries. She immediately took out an ant egg from the spirit beast's bag and handed it to him: "Because I have a deep understanding of spirit beasts." I know very little about how to do it. I have never seen this ant egg before and I don’t know how to hatch it, so I went back to the sect to ask Senior Brother Qiu for advice.”

Lu Xingxian took the ant egg, held it in his hand, stroked it back and forth and observed it for a long time: "Where did Junior Brother Tang get this ant egg?"

Tang Ning felt displeased when she saw how he was raising an army to accuse him. It was none of his business where he got the ant eggs. Why should he explain everything he owns?

He was dissatisfied, but he didn't want to get angry. His face remained calm: "I got it by chance. What does Senior Brother Lu think is wrong?"

Lu Xingxian listened to his words and knew that he was unhappy, so he returned the ant eggs to him.

"Junior brother Tang is really a person with a great opportunity. Not only is he gifted with spiritual beasts, but when he advanced, he caused thunder to come to the world, and he also got these ant eggs. He is really envious of others. Hey! To tell you the truth, I am very fond of spiritual beasts. The beasts have always been interested in it, but unfortunately Xingang is located in a remote area with few resources and no traces of monsters, so it is a pity that I have been unable to find it. I saw this ant egg today, and I finally got what I wanted."

Tang Ning frowned slightly. Lu Xingxian's words obviously had a deeper meaning. He had just told him that the strange phenomena in the world caused by the advancement of spiritual beasts were misinformation. However, he said that the spirit beasts were extremely talented and the thunder punishment came to the world, which was clearly a tactful way of conveying that he knew everything.

What does he mean? Could it be that he wants to ask for these ant eggs from himself?

Tangning was about to speak when she heard Lu Xingxian continue: "A few months ago, the South China Intelligence Station reported that you had gone to South China to investigate the whereabouts of the Demon Sect monks. Have you found out clearly?"

Tang Ning said: "I received information from the inside of the Demon Sect. There were monks from the Demon Sect who traveled frequently to South China. They were suspected to be connected with the South China cultivation family, so I went to investigate. After checking for a few days, I found no whereabouts of them, so I returned to the intelligence station."

Lu Xingxian looked at him with profound eyes, with a half-smiling look on his face: "A few days ago, intelligence reports were reported in South China. A black ant was found there. It is invulnerable to water, fire and weapons. Do you know?"
