Light Dance Jiajing

Chapter 80 Gu King 1

On this day, big news came from the city of Pyin U Xo. The Burmese minister Minggyessian killed the Ava king Sihongfa, then opened the city gate and brought the people of the city to surrender to Mang Yinglong. Myr also followed Ajin into the city of Pyin U Xo. In this battle, Toungoo won a great victory. Three days later, Mang Yinglong held a celebration banquet and invited Minggyessian and other surrendered generals. Ajin also received a lot of rewards based on their merits. When everyone was drinking happily, Mang Yinglong's confidant hurriedly brought a letter. After reading it, Mang Yinglong's face changed drastically. He, who was always calm, did not even wait for the banquet to end, and called a few subordinates to leave. Everyone speculated that something big had happened.

The King of Toungoo, Mang Shwe Ti, was assassinated. Mang Shwe Ti's sister was Mang Yinglong's wife. Mang Yinglong and Mang Shwe Ti had been in love for a long time. Now the situation in Toungoo was very complicated. Who could succeed Mang Shwe Ti as the King of Toungoo? Mang Yinglong would not miss this opportunity. The King of Ava was dead. Although the whole territory had not been conquered, it was only a matter of time. Mang Yinglong left 5,000 strong men and handed them over to one of his generals. He took over the city of Pyin Uyen and asked him to discuss everything with Akin. Then he hurried south.

Ajin was Mang Yinglong's sworn brother. The general was very polite to Ajin and arranged accommodation for them and the Miao people in the city of Bimyu, and provided them with all kinds of food and wine. Due to the language barrier and the fact that the war had just ended, Meng'er had no interest in going out for a stroll, and she stayed in the house obediently with Zaihou. Ajin lived next door to them, but he never brought back any women. The days of waiting felt like years. Meng'er didn't want Zaihou to see her anxiety, so she deliberately suppressed her uneasy emotions. However, every time she met Ajin, his eyes seemed to see through her, and she could no longer hide her helplessness and anxiety.

One day, the three Dharma protectors finally brought the news of the Gu King. The group set out in a hurry without delay. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they had no choice but to abandon their horses and climb up the rocks along the stone path. After walking for half a day, the mountain road suddenly turned down and they reached a deep canyon. The further they walked, the more they felt the rising mountain mist coming towards them little by little. Meng'er had been held under Ajin's armpits. When they reached a flat place, Ajin put her down. The three Dharma protectors also put Zaihou down. The fog did not hinder their journey and the surroundings were not visible. Although the field was not very clear, it was not a big deal. Going forward, the sound of running water could be heard. A small mountain stream flowed by, and the water was very clear. The few people were tired after working for most of the day. Meng'er carefully scooped up a handful of water and drank it all. The other people also took water to drink. The third guardian said, "The residence of the Gu King is in front. We must be extra careful as we go forward. The Gu King is obsessed with raising Gu. There is no telling how many Gu insects there are in this area. Remember not to kill them. Even if they are small insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and moths, just drive them away. Don't make trouble for yourself."

The canyon was deep and deep. After walking forward for another half a minute, a thatched house became clearer and clearer. Meng'er pulled Zaihou with excitement and her palms were sweaty. Are they finally going to see the Gu King? Suddenly, a few childish laughs came from the house: "Haha, I didn't lie to you, I'm here." As soon as the voice fell, three people walked out of the house one after another.

Mei'er's heart seemed to sink into an ice cellar. This voice was very familiar to her. It was Zai Ji. His appearance here obviously meant he had bad intentions. The three Dharma protectors also frowned. Zai Ji stood in front of the house and winked at Mei'er mischievously when he looked over. On one side of him was the six Dharma protectors who always had a smile on their faces, and on the other side was an old man in his sixties. This man was short and had an ordinary look. When he glanced at Mei'er and her brother, he could not hide the urgent emotion in his eyes that was neither love nor hate.

This person is none other than the Gu King. He has been obsessed with raising Gu all his life, but he has devoted half his life to the Blood Gu. The Blood Gu is incomparable to other Gu insects in terms of toxicity and efficacy. What is particularly difficult to control is that it is picky about people. Ordinary Gu insects will attach themselves to any place they are planted, but as for the Blood Gu, the Gu King has wanted to plant the Blood Gu on himself since he was in his thirties. However, more than thirty years have passed, and he still has not been able to plant it. However, just a year ago, the Blood Gu that he had spent countless efforts to cultivate was stolen. The Gu King was furious but helpless. The people who stole the Blood Gu were none other than Zai Ji and his gang. When that half-grown child came to him a year ago, he did not take it seriously. There were too many people who came to him for Gu on weekdays, and they just wanted to use it to harm others. The Gu King is both good and evil. He doesn't care who you want to harm. His Gu insects are all clearly priced, and he will sell them as long as you can afford it. But when Zai Ji said he wanted... Blood Gu, one hundred taels of gold were placed before him, but the Gu King refused without a second thought. He looked at the child solemnly. He actually knew about Blood Gu, which he had researched based on ancient books. He had been obsessed with it for more than 30 years. At the same time, he kept it a secret and would never reveal a single thing to the outside world. How did the child know about it? Putting aside his doubts, the Gu King said nothing and simply closed the door to refuse visitors. However, he was extremely careful, but his precious Blood Gu was still stolen. There was no doubt that it must have been done by the child and his gang. However, the Gu King was only proficient in Gu techniques, but his kung fu was only mediocre. He had been isolated in the mountains for many years and had no connections. How could he find the lost Blood Gu? The Gu King learned from his mistakes and decided to move. He could no longer stay in Yunnan, and there was no place for him in the Central Plains. So he made up his mind and ran to Myanmar, diving into the mountains. Even if he was unwilling, he had to start all over again.
