Dream Maker [Rebirth]

Ten years ago, that is, four years after the louse Gu was stolen, the Misang clan had almost forgotten its existence. After all, since it was hopeless to find it, it would be better to cultivate new Gu instead of worrying about it.

However, at the end of April of that year, an epidemic reported by a certain territory of the Missan clan woke up everyone's vigilance like a thunderbolt.

It was a small town by the Jinjiang River, named Sang.

One morning in the streets and alleys of the city, a well-clothed white bone suddenly appeared. In the following days, people fell down one after another and bled from their orifices. In the end, without exception, all of them rotted into bones.

Many famous doctors in the southwest rushed to hear the news, but not only failed to contain the epidemic, but died together with other patients in Sangcheng.

After the news reached Misang's house, Misang Yaoyue was greatly shocked, and immediately led a group of subordinates to Sangcheng.

After arriving, she left her subordinates outside the city, went into the city alone to investigate, and soon found the source of the "plague"—the thousand-insect lice Gu that had been stolen for four years.

However, at that time, the lice had already produced countless worms, and the so-called "plague" had already spread throughout the city!

Even if she immediately put the voodoo mother into a deep sleep and stopped giving birth, she still couldn't stop the hatched voodoo from multiplying—all the people in the city had become potential hosts, and it was hard to tell who was infected with the voodoo with the naked eye. people.

At this moment, the Gu in Sang City seems to have reached the point of being uncontrollable, and as long as one person carries the Gu to leave Sang City and go to other places, the consequences will be even more unimaginable!

The urgency of the situation did not allow her to have the slightest sympathy and hesitation. Even though she was unwilling to face it in every possible way, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and make a cruel choice-to close the city.

She ordered her subordinates to forcibly block all the entrances and exits of Sang City, and urgently dispatched thousands of Gu spiders from the ancestral house of Misang's family, surrounded the city with Gu spider silk outside the city, and laid a sheet to block the Gu. A net of insects.

……

Speaking of this, Misang Yaoyue's eyes were slightly red, and her voice couldn't help sobbing: "This is the heaviest debt I have ever made in this life, and I still remember it to this day... those who came from the city gate The beatings, cries and pleadings are so desperate."

Lu Ci was speechless for a moment. Although he had never witnessed the tragedy of Sangcheng, he had personally experienced the same tragic disaster in the secret realm, which was enough to imagine what kind of hell it was in Sangcheng at that time.

Misang Yaoyue took a deep breath, and then exhaled long, to calm down a little, and then continued: "After the city was closed for several days, I went into the city to inspect it again when there was no more movement in the city. After that inspection, I made an unexpected discovery."

At that time, the entire Sang City had been reduced to a dead city, and scattered bones could be seen everywhere.

Misang Yaoyue felt desolate, and walked slowly through every corner of the city, only to feel that there were innocent souls everywhere.

Just as she circled the city for a week and was about to leave the city, she was suddenly attracted by a wall in the corner.

It was a piece of weedy land under the mottled city wall. It was inconspicuous at all, but there were many bones piled up for no reason.

Misang Yaoyue was puzzled, she didn't understand why those people gathered in the wild grass when they were about to die.

However, when she pushed aside the knee-high weeds and went forward to investigate, she discovered that there was a canal hidden under the weeds!

Lu Ci's eyes widened suddenly, and he instinctively felt that this canal was the key to linking the lice and the plague in the secret realm: "Which canal leads to the outside of the city?"

Misang Yaoyue nodded: "At that time, I immediately thought that someone would escape from Sang City from here, but soon found that it was absolutely impossible - the canal was very narrow, and the part passing through the city wall was even lower. It's so small that I even went down into the canal myself to try it out, and I was sure it wouldn't allow anyone to pass through."

Speaking of this, she suddenly changed the topic: "But that was just my thought before today."

She looked at Lu Ci and said seriously: "At that time, I only thought that there would be adults fleeing from there, but I never imagined the possibility of sending babies out in a basin. Until today, I heard from you that the "Plague of the Secret Realm" ’ and the baby corpse, I suddenly remembered that the canal was wide and deep enough to accommodate a wooden basin.”

The symptoms of the plague in the secret realm are too special, and the Gu disease in Sangcheng had left an indelible impression on Misang Yaoyue, which made her instinctively think of Lice Gu after listening to Luci's narration. Counting the time difference between the occurrence of the Gu disease in Sangcheng and the plague in the secret realm, she confirmed her guess almost immediately.

The canal in Sangcheng leads to the outside of the city, and finally flows into the most famous river in the southwest - the Jinjiang River. The end of the Jinjiang River is the East China Sea. Back then, Misang Yaoyue's own wooden basin was the Shunjinjiang River And down to the secret place.

According to the elders of the family, the day when she was put into the river was a small year, and the time when she arrived at the secret place was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It will take about twenty days.

The Gu outbreak in Sangcheng City occurred at the end of April ten years ago, and in the first ten days of May, Misang Yaoyue led people to seal the city, and the infant corpse arrived in the secret realm in early June, the time coincides perfectly.

From this point of view, the baby corpse is most likely the child of a certain family in Sangcheng. After the city was closed, it was sent out of the canal. The entire Hidden Spirit Secret Realm!

Lu Ci was stunned for a long time, never expecting that the origin of the baby corpse was so unimaginable.

He silently went over the matter from the beginning, and an indescribable strange feeling came to his heart.

On the surface, the sending of the baby's corpse out of Sangcheng might just be a desperate move by the baby's parents who saw no way out. With a baby corpse.

In the final analysis, both the disaster of the secret realm and the plague of Sangcheng Gu are inseparably related to the person who stole the bug.

Who is that person?

What is the purpose of throwing the lice into Sangcheng?

Was it accidental or inevitable that the baby corpse was sent out of the ditch to the secret realm?

After thinking for a long time, he turned to Misang Yaoyue to confirm: "Senior sister, are you sure that the lice can only be manipulated with your blood?"

Misang Yaoyue nodded: "Even if I don't use my blood directly, at least I have to use utensils stained with my blood. But I have considered this clue as early as the outbreak of Gu in Sang City. The conclusion is that—either of the two, almost no one gets it.”

Once a voodoo recognizes its owner, it can only be driven by the voodoo owner's blood or utensils contaminated with the voodoo owner's blood. This makes all voodoo cultivators attach great importance to blood, and will never let themselves bleed easily, in case others borrow it. Use your own blood to manipulate your own Gu.

Even in order to eliminate hidden dangers, whenever a daughter is born in a Gu family, she will be given needles to seal the uterine veins when she is just born, so that she will be free from menstruation in the future.That is to say, the women in the Gu raising family don't even have something like menstrual cloth that can stain blood.

Misang Yaoyue said: "From the time I returned to the southwest to the outbreak of the Gu disease in Sangcheng, there were only two drops of blood in five years, one was used to open the altar to recognize the Lord, and the other was used to test the Gu. Today, I have not been able to figure out where the thief can get my blood."

Lu Ci pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about before you return to the southwest?"

Misang Yaoyue was startled, then frowned and said, "You mean...in the secret realm?"

Lu Ci nodded his head: "Since the people who attended the banquet back then had members from the secret realm besides the children of the aristocratic family, did you suspect that you were in the wrong direction from the beginning?"

Back then, the Misang clan targeted the family members who were attending the banquet with suspicion because they thought that the purpose of stealing the lice was to take away the hole cards of the Misang family.

But judging from the man's behavior of laying a voodoo in Sangcheng, his intention is obviously not that simple.

What's more, the Gu disease in Sangcheng in the southwest was unreasonably involved in a secret realm independent of the mainland. Lu Ci really couldn't convince himself to regard it as an accidental injury.

And if it wasn't an accidental injury, the outflow of the baby's corpse was probably not accidental, but a part of the plan of the person who stole the lice vomit, so the identity of this person is very likely to be related to the secret realm.

From this point of view, if there is a fellow from the secret realm who had the opportunity to obtain the blood of Misang Yaoyue, and then participated in the feast of Misang's family, then he is most likely to be the person who stole the lice.

After his reminder, Misang Yaoyue quickly thought of this level, but she shook her head after thinking about it seriously for a while: "You also know that although you often exchange ideas in the secret realm, you always point to it. So far, not to mention that few people could hurt me at that time, I don’t remember ever seeing blood.”

Luci nodded slowly.

Indeed, Missang Yaoyue has been outstanding among her peers since she was a child, and it is not easy for her fellow apprentices to fight her evenly, let alone hurt her.

It's just that in this way, even the suspicion has completely lost its direction, and this is almost becoming a case without a head.

Lu Ci bowed his head in silence for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Senior Sister, do you still doubt Ji Wuzhou now?"

Before Missang Yaoyue could answer, he quickly answered, "When the louse was stolen, he hadn't left the island at all."

Ji Wuzhou left the secret realm 13 years ago, and Lice Gu was stolen from Missan's house 14 years ago. No matter who the thief is, it cannot be Ji Wuzhou.

Missang Yaoyue couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Before today, she almost believed that Ji Wuzhou was the murderer of the destruction of the secret realm, but now she had to re-examine her judgment.

After a long while, she finally said: "That's right, I might have been preconceived in the past, but—even if the louse worm theft had nothing to do with him, and the secret realm worm had nothing to do with him, but he happened to return to the island at that time to bring out The act of the spirit weapon is still extremely suspicious."

Lu Ci did not refute, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I understand, I will definitely find out the doubts about him in the future. As for who stole the lice Gu and started it in Sangcheng, I will definitely find out to the end."

Missang Yaoyue sighed slightly, and said: "Sangcheng has become a dead city since then, it has been sealed for so many years, and the city gate has never been opened. I don’t have a clue, and I don’t know where to start if I want to investigate. It’s a good thing if you can find a breakthrough, if there is anything I need to do, just ask.”

Lu Ci nodded, and at this moment, a booming sound came from the end of the corridor behind him.

The two got up and looked out, and saw that the stone gate at the entrance of the cave was slowly opening, and a disciple outside the door folded his hands and reported: "Palace Master, the carriages of the old lady and the young Palace Master have already entered the valley."

Misang Yaoyue nodded and said: "Understood, take them to rest for a while, and I will be there soon."

The disciple took the order to leave, but Lu Ci was slightly stunned, recalling the words "Young Palace Master" he had just heard, he asked curiously: "Senior Sister is married?"

Missang Yaoyue smiled wryly, then shook her head: "No, that's my adopted son."

Lu Ci was quite surprised, the senior sister is now in her thirties, unexpectedly she has never married yet, and has adopted a child instead.

However, this is the senior sister's private matter in the final analysis. Lu Ci didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, but unexpectedly, Missang Yaoyue explained: "He was originally a child of Sangcheng, and his biological father was a fisherman. Unfortunately, he drowned while fishing. Before the vomit happened, he was taken back to his natal family by his birth mother to visit relatives and escaped the catastrophe. His biological mother passed away due to illness in [-], so I adopted him."

Speaking of this, Misang Yaoyue smiled lightly, with a touch of tenderness in her eyes: "On weekdays he lives with my parents in the ancestral house, and it will be his birthday in two days, so he insisted on coming to live with me for a few days If it wasn't for picking a birthday gift for him, I would have teleported back as soon as I landed from the East China Sea after the excommunication ceremony, and I wouldn't have met you on the way."

Missang Yaoyue has always been serious and fierce, and rarely shows such a gentle expression. Luci couldn't help thinking: It seems that although the child is not her own, she has already regarded it as her own in the past ten years, so she will mention it again. He naturally showed a motherly attitude from time to time.

Thinking about it, he said, "Have you bought the birthday gift yet?"

"No," Misang Yaoyue said, "But there is no rush, I will go out later."

Lu Ci nodded, thinking that they were still waiting for her, and urged: "Then senior sister, hurry up, I should go back too."

Missang Yaoyue said: "Why don't you stay here for a few days?"

Lu Ci was a little startled, then shook his head and smiled: "No, Ji Wuzhou didn't know that I came to the southwest, one more thing is worse than one less thing, I'd better go back earlier."

Hearing what he said, Misang Yaoyue didn't insist on keeping him anymore, but she was about to send him away when she suddenly ran into trouble: "By the way, I really don't have a talisman from the Extreme Night Snow Region here... He left you one earlier." People are on the street, how do you plan to let you go back?"

"Oh," Lu Ci took out the talisman paper from his sleeve, "He gave me a piece of fairy palace."

Seeing the talisman paper, Misang Yaoyue was obviously stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Lu Ci said that he could walk around in Dumeng Fairy Palace, and couldn't help laughing: "You have only been there not long ago, and he is already so defenseless against you ?”

Lu Ci was helpless when he heard the words, and wanted to say, "I'm afraid Song Zhong is the one who didn't defend himself", but in the end he didn't explain any more, and said goodbye to Missang Yaoyue with a mocking smile.

Afterwards, he grabbed the talisman paper in his hand and shook it lightly, before disappearing into the sudden white light around him in the blink of an eye.
