Not long after Jiang Jingmo's ears started bleeding, Cheng Tian's body began to tremble violently, and then a huge white worm crawled out of his ear.

His entire body was snow-white, shaped like a centipede, with a white shell that emitted a warm luster under the sun, and upon closer inspection, he was quite beautiful.

But Jiang Jingmo didn't care whether it looked good or not. He stabbed the dagger into its body fiercely, splashing white blood. The insect struggled violently.

But it soon became quiet because Jiang Jingmo used the Netherworld Fire to burn it on the dagger into ashes.

After dealing with the secondary Gu, Jiang Jingmo wanted to return to the house and lure out the main Gu, but the moment he stepped into the house, he was stopped by Cheng Du.

"My fellow Daoist, can I go in with you? I want to accompany my mother for the last time."

Jiang Jingmo stopped and looked at Cheng Du, and found that the boy's eyes were already red. He knew too many things today and he had suffered the most pain. Seeing his mother pass away with his own eyes, Jiang Jingmo was not sure if he could bear it.

But she still nodded, thinking that people should not have any regrets.

Cheng Du took a step forward, but was grabbed by the arm by Cheng En. He turned his head to look at his sister and just smiled at her gently.

"Just stay here and I'll be back soon."

"Is mother going to be gone soon?"

Cheng En looked at him with misty eyes, causing his words to choke in his throat.

"I also want to accompany my mother on her last journey."

Cheng En also smiled at him, but tears were streaming down her face uncontrollably.

She was not stupid. She had seen how Jiang Jingmo attracted the Gu just now. Even the dumbest person would know what the current situation at home was.

Cheng Du wanted to persuade her, but Cheng En spoke first.

"Brother, I am not a child anymore. I will be a 15-year-old next year."

Cheng Du was silent, but he still agreed to Cheng En's request.

The two of them followed Jiang Jingmo into the house. Because the Ci Gu was dead, the woman no longer made strange movements. She just lay on the ground with a dull expression, staring blankly into the sky.

There was something constantly surging between her eyebrows, which looked a bit creepy.

Cheng En burst into tears when she saw her mother. Cheng Du thought she was scared and wanted to protect her behind him, but he heard his sister's crying voice.

"Mom must be in pain right now."

Cheng Du paused and his eyes turned redder and redder.

"It's okay, Mom, it won't hurt in a while."

Jiang Jingmo was silent in front, and no one knew what she was thinking. She forced the poisonous insect out skillfully and then quickly dealt with it, and the light in the woman's eyes gradually disappeared.

The brother and sister couldn't hold back and burst into tears, throwing themselves on the woman's body. Tears dripped onto her face, and her lifeless eyes gradually became clear.

She opened her mouth, and a broken voice came out.

"Xiao...Du...Xiao...En..."

Then a line of clear tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and the woman no longer had any life.

Jiang Jingmo stood by. She still remembered what the elder of the ancient Yin tribe said when she was learning these techniques of detoxification in her previous life.

"When the vitality is completely devoured, even if the poison is removed, the infected person will rarely regain consciousness. Most will die immediately after the poison is removed."

"If that's the case, then there will be people who can regain consciousness after the poison is removed?" Jiang Jingmo wondered at the time.

"Of course, everything is possible. Those who can regain their sanity must have obsessions..."

"Obsession?"

"Well, people live in this world with obsession. The deeper the obsession, the clearer it is. This obsession may be hatred, resentment, or..."

The kind old lady turned around and looked at her.

"Love."

.........

After a long time, the brother and sister carried the woman's body to the yard. At this moment, Cheng Tian woke up slowly and looked at his mother's body in a daze.

Then he seemed to suddenly think of something. His eyes were empty, staring blankly at the corpse, as if he had lost his soul. His body was shaking, his hands were tightly covering his face, tears were flowing silently. His lips were shaking uncontrollably, he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

After a long while, he finally uttered a trembling sound.

“Mother…I…Ah!!!!”

Cheng Tian suddenly collapsed and yelled. He thought of the scene between himself and his mother... He simply couldn't accept himself like this. How could he, how could he...

He feels sorry for his father and his mother...

The pain in his heart surged up like a tide, drowning him. He seemed to be drained of energy and sat on the ground helplessly. His world collapsed at this moment, and everything became dark and gloomy.

Cheng Du stood there looking at him, unable to describe what he felt inside.

He understood that his mother and brother did such things because of the Hehuan Gu.

but………

Cheng Du took a few deep breaths, then stepped forward and supported Cheng Tian.

"Brother, it's not your fault. It's the Gu..." Cheng Du's voice was choked.

Cheng Tian stared blankly at Cheng Du's face for a long time without saying anything, his eyes were dull and he didn't speak.

Jiang Jingmo and the other two didn't say much. Now that the poisonous insect had been dealt with, they simply pushed open the gate.

An Yang crashed into Jiang Jingmo's arms.

"Sister Mo!"

Jiang Jingmo hugged An Yang and gently touched her head, and felt the haze in his heart dissipated.

"Junior Sister Jiang, what's the situation?"

Ji Chuhe walked towards her with a gentle smile on her face. If you ignore the gleaming dagger in her hand,

"It has been resolved, and the old city lord's children have been rescued."

"The old city lord's children?" Ji Chuhe was slightly stunned.

Nan Xun immediately explained Jiang Jingmo's previous guess, but after Cheng Du's recollection, her guess was actually confirmed.

The city lord's wife fell suddenly ill four months ago. He was anxious to find a famous doctor for his wife, but to no avail. Finally, he found a sorcerer in desperation.

Not long after the magician arrived, the city lord's wife's illness indeed improved a lot, but she developed a strange habit of eating raw food, especially raw meat with blood.

Cheng Du thought that the sorcerer must have done something, so he went to find the old city lord. However, the old city lord suddenly changed his temper and scolded him instead. Then he ordered that the city lord's wife must not be allowed to eat raw food, and asked everyone in the mansion to be respectful to the sorcerer.

Cheng Du was suspicious, but one day when he went to visit his mother, he saw Cheng Tian carrying a bag of blood into the house. At that time, he just thought that his brother did something foolish because he felt sorry for his mother, so he didn't want to tell his father about it.

Then, a month passed, citizens began to disappear in the city, but the old city lord did not take it as seriously as before. Instead, he went back and forth in the dungeon in a strange way.

Cheng Du was surprised, so he sneaked to the dungeon, but saw a strange man in black robes...
