our supernatural life

Mai Mai called out the stone room, and suddenly remembered that this could not be that stone room at all, but should be a small imitation.But when he yelled out, the old man had already stared at him: "Kids know Gu Dao?"

Under his gaze, Mai Mai stammered about what happened in the Gu Dao, but he didn't dare to say that Shao Jing also went in, so he could only vaguely explain that part.The old man stared at him for a while, without further questioning, just nodded and turned to Second Uncle Wu: "Now you have entered the Gu cave, have you seen the Gu king?"

Second Uncle Wu looked around and asked excitedly, "Where is it?" He has completely forgotten the charges of internal strife and treason, and he is fully focused on the Gu King who has never met before, just like a research madman who meets his own knowledge field. The latest information in the website can completely forget food and sleep.

Seeing his obsessed look, the old man sighed slightly: "There is no Gu King anymore."

Second Uncle Wu was taken aback for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "What?"

The old man looked around, and said slowly: "There is no Gu King, has there been no Gu King in this stone room for a long time?"

Second Uncle Wu stared at him in disbelief, and it took a while before he could speak: "How is it possible? Where did the Gu King go? Where did you get the Gu King!"

The old man looked up at the relief on the wall of the Gu cave above... and said flatly: "Wu Er, how did you refine your golden centipede Gu?"

Second Uncle Wu glared at him: "How else can it be refined? Naturally, it was refined with dozens of Gu! Don't talk about it, just tell me, where did you get the Gu King?"

The old man didn't answer: "Oh, you used ordinary poisonous insects to refine Gu, and then used dozens of Gu to refine golden centipede Gu. In the past ten years, you haven't wasted a single moment, have you?"

Uncle Wu straightened his back proudly: "Naturally. Ever since I entered the art of Gu art, I have never been neglected for a moment. I may not be as good as you in terms of talent, but I am ten times better than you in terms of hard work. If it weren't for the old man who passed on the Gu art Here it is, I—" Suddenly recalling what the old man said just now, he became suspicious, "You don't mean that the old man didn't pass the Gu King to you, did you?"

The old man smiled: "That's right. When Master passed on the position of leader to me, there was no Gu King anymore."

The expression on Uncle Wu's face was indescribable, his muscles twisted.At that time, he was extremely dissatisfied that the old man got the position of the head of the Gu village, but the head man can get the Gu king passed down from generation to generation, that is the king of ten thousand Gu, all poisonous Gu can be subdued, and he couldn't even refine the golden centipede Gu at that time. Come out, what can I use to fight against the old man?For this reason, he hibernated for 20 years, carefully selected and captured hundreds of highly poisonous snakes in the dense forest, refined dozens of Gu insects, and then used these dozens of Gu insects to devour each other to refine this golden centipede Gu.It just so happened that Bai Wan died in a Gu Dao, and the old man insisted on looking for his daughter.Gu Dao, also known as Du Dao, in the legend of Gu Village, no matter how many lives enter Gu Dao, only one can come out in the end.The one that comes out is called "Du", also known as "Du Wang", and it is said that it can be invulnerable to a hundred Gu.But in the legend, the last person who walked out of Gu Dao was nearly a hundred years ago, so that most Gu masters do not believe that Gu Dao can be walked out, thinking that it is just a legend.Because of this, Wu Er felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and nine times out of ten the old man would not be able to get out, and even if he could, he would be seriously injured.In case, in case he really becomes the Du Wang, then if he gets the Gu King before him, then it is still unknown who will win the Gu King vs the Du Wang, it is worth a fight.But now the old man is back, just when he thought he was going to die, the old man took him into the Gu cave, and when he thought he could see the true face of the Gu king before he died, the old man told him that the Gu king had long since disappeared...

The old man looked up at the relief on the high place, and said slowly: "Wu Er, have you ever thought that if you don't feed or train this golden centipede, just let it go, it will be fine?" What will happen?"

Uncle Wu was stunned for a moment.He never thought about it.If a Gu master refines a high-level Gu worm, it is like a jewel in the palm of his hand. Carefully raise it and train it from time to time. How can there be a situation where it is just put away after refining it?

"……what's the situation?"

The old man still looked at the top of the cave, and said slowly: "Yes, degenerate..."

"Degenerate?" Second Uncle Wu couldn't turn around for a while, "How is it possible? I've never heard that Gu can degenerate."

The old man smiled: "Gu is artificially let a group of poisonous insects devour each other, and pick out the strongest among them. The refined Gu is different from ordinary poisonous insects. This is a kind of evolution. Then if you put the Gu insects back in the forest What about it? Now that they have no rivals and run rampant, will they become lazy and even degenerate?"

Uncle Wu opened his mouth, but said nothing.The old man's words sound very reasonable, but if you want him to believe that the Gu King will also degenerate, it is really...

"Could it be that Gu King also..."

"The Gu king has actually been changed for several generations. The last generation of Gu king was brought to the village by the Du Wang who walked out of Gu Dao a hundred years ago." The old man turned his head to look at Uncle Wu, and smiled, " You must also know that the Du Wang is actually not a Gu Master, but an ordinary person who accidentally entered the Gu Dao, but he brought out the Gu King, have you ever thought about what a Gu King is?"

Second Uncle Wu couldn't get his head around: "What is it?"

The old man said solemnly: "The integration of human and Gu is the ultimate pursuit of a Gu master. Those who can integrate with human are the real Gu kings."

When Mai Mai heard the words that the human gu was united, he suddenly remembered the scene of the golden centipede gu rushing towards Shao Jing's temple, and couldn't help feeling sick, and whispered, "How can a human and an insect become one? Could it be that it got into the brain?" inside?"

The old man smiled tolerantly: "Actually, Gu is no longer an ordinary bug. Have you ever seen a flying centipede?"

Mai Mai shook her head: "But that's... after all, it's not something that belongs to a person..."

"Yes, so the unity of human and Gu is the highest pursuit of a Gu master. At that time, there will be no Gu, and people will be Gu."

Mai Mai imagined for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it meant that this person was a Gu.Shao Jing was thoughtful: "People are Gu, which means that people have the ability of Gu, so they no longer need Gu as a tool. Just like a real master of swordsmanship, he can make a sword with just one thing at hand. There's no need for that three-foot-long metal thing."

The old man laughed: "Yes, young master made it clear. So even though the last Du Wang is not a Gu Master, he brought out the last Gu King."

Mai Mai couldn't help asking: "It is said that only one survivor can emerge from Gu Dao in the end, is it true?"

"of course it's true."

"Then why is one person carrying one Gu, aren't there two?"

Shao Jing patted him on the head: "Idiot! Why haven't you figured it out yet, human and Gu are one, and human is Gu, not two, but one."

The old man smiled and nodded: "Yes. But after the Du Wang got out of Gu Dao, he met bandits and was seriously injured. He escaped into the village, lived here for five years, and finally died. After his death, The headman at that time found the Gu King on him and sent him into this Gu cave. The Gu cave was built by the first Gu master who walked out of the Gu Tao according to the memory of the stone room at the end of the Gu Tao. Gu kings are raised in this Gu cave."

Mai Mai asked suspiciously: "Why did you build the Gu cave according to that stone room? Is it because the Gu kings all come from the Gu Dao?"

The old man looked at him and smiled: "That's right, the kid is very smart. Although not every Gu Master who walks out of the Gu Dao can bring back the Gu King, but all the Gu Kings do come out of the Gu Dao. The first to bring out the Gu Dao After the death of the king's Gu master, he passed the Gu king to his disciples, but soon discovered that the Gu king would degenerate, so he built the Gu cave. The reliefs are all exactly the same, but... still can't stop the degeneration of the Gu King."

Shao Jing frowned slightly: "Since we have found the reason, can't we prescribe the right medicine?"

The old man smiled: "Prescribe the right medicine? How to prescribe the right medicine? Using the same level of Gu can refine stronger Gu, but if the Gu used for refining is uneven, it is useless. But where to go? How about finding the same Gu as the Gu King?"

Mai Mai stood there looking at the Gu hole.Indeed, this place looks exactly the same as the stone room at the end of the Gu Dao, but he always felt something was wrong.It seems that standing here does not have the feeling of standing in the stone room.Is it because you are not as fearful and desperate as you were back then?Or is there really another reason?

Uncle Wu didn't think too much about it, and asked: "What about the Gu King? Even a degenerated Gu King should be there, right? How could it disappear for nothing? Dead?"

The old man sighed: "Why don't you understand yet? The Gu king has degenerated, degenerated into ordinary Gu, and then buried in ordinary Gu insects, and can no longer be distinguished. Maybe the Gu masters in the village Among the ordinary Gu used was the Gu king from back then, who knows? That’s what Master said when he passed on the position of headman to me. Of course, it is also possible that the Gu king was among the ordinary Gu worms left by him. Among them, this may not be certain."

"Didn't you look for it again?"

The old man smiled: "Rather than expending energy to find the disappeared Gu king, it is better to carefully refine your own Gu." He turned to look at Uncle Wu, "Besides, being the head of a Gu village does not necessarily mean becoming the most capable Gu. Master, the leader should be thinking about how to let the people in the village live and work in peace and contentment to live a better life, not just refining the strongest Gu. Wu Er, after so many years, have you forgotten that when you were apprenticed to the master, the master said If so? Why did you come to learn Gu? Is it just to refine the strongest Gu and beat others?"

Uncle Wu couldn't answer in a daze.The old man stopped looking at him and turned around: "In terms of refining Gu, the Golden Centipede Gu you refined is only one step away from the Gu King. In this point, I can't match it. If you can give it to the people in the village To bring a better life, I can give you the position of leader, as long as you feel that you really want the position of leader."

There was a deathly silence in the Gu cave.After a long time, Second Uncle Wu slowly turned around and walked out of the Gu cave.His figure was very bent, as if he had aged ten years suddenly, and he walked out quietly without making a sound.When he was out of sight, the old man turned around, looked at the entrance of the cave and sighed slightly.Only then did he open the pannier and take out pieces of bone from it.Surprised, Mai Mai blurted out: "It's Bai Wan's..."

The old man smiled sadly: "Yes, it's Bai Wan's bone, I found it."

Mai didn't dare to look any further.Those bones were very clean, as clean as if they had been scraped with a knife. The cleaner they were, the more Wheat couldn't stop imagining.The old man slowly spread the bones on the ground, wiped them piece by piece with a towel dipped in water, and said slowly: "Bai Wan has the talent to learn Gu, but she didn't want to learn, so I was very angry. Later she I fell in love with a Han man and wanted to leave Guzhai. I disagreed, so she ran away secretly. This run lasted for five years... I didn't know that my daughter wanted to come back until Liu Jiacheng's relatives found the Ancient City Inn... ...She came back because Liu Jiacheng had a serious heart attack, the doctor said he would not live for three months, she wanted to bring him back, and let me use Gu King to renew his life." He slowly fiddled with the bones, wiping the bones. The gesture was light and soft, as if afraid of disturbing her daughter, "But she doesn't know, there is no Gu King anymore. She was very talented when she was young, and I gave her all the Gu worms that my master passed on to me. She died when she was 12 years old. She has refined the concentric Gu, but she doesn't like Gu art and is unwilling to learn it. You know, even I haven't refined the concentric Gu when I was 12 years old. That kind of Gu can be placed on two people, making the two People can feel each other, almost combining two people into one. This is very close to the unity of human gu, if she is willing to work harder, maybe one day she can refine a beast that doesn’t need to come from gu The Gu King brought out from the Dao. But...she died, and when she died, I couldn't even see her for the last time..."

Mai Mai looked at him uncomfortable, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Those robbers hijacked the car and delayed Liu Jiacheng's treatment. When she was in the Gu Dao, she knew her husband was dead, so..."

The old man smiled desolately: "It's not a delay, there is no Gu King anymore, even if she comes back, there is no way to continue Liu Jiacheng's life."

Shao Jing had been listening silently, but at this moment his face suddenly changed: "Can't life be continued without the Gu King?"

The old man glanced at him: "Yes. Gu's life extension is actually to transfer the life of Gu to people. If you want to extend your life for a long time, you have to constantly consume Gu insects. However, Gu insects are limited after all, so If you want to extend your life in the true sense, you must use the Gu King. To be precise, use the Gu King's ability to combine human and Gu to refine the same life Gu."

Mai Mai was confused, but Shao Jing asked nervously: "What is the same fate Gu? How can one refine the same fate Gu?"

The old man pondered for a while: "The same fate Gu has similarities with the same heart Gu, but it is more advanced than the same heart Gu. The same heart Gu can let two people share a feeling, but the same fate Gu can let two people share a feeling. Lifespan. For example, if there is the same fate Gu, Bai Wan can share her lifespan with Liu Jiacheng, and Liu Jiacheng can have as many lifespans as she has, but the same fate Gu cannot be far away, if she is separated from Liu Jiacheng If it takes too long, the same-fate Gu will die, and the connection between them will be broken. In the history of the Gu village, there was once a leader who used the Gu king to refine the same-hearted Gu, and distributed his life to his Wife. At that time, his wife fell from the mountain, and seeing that it was impossible to cure, he used the Gu king to refine the same life Gu, and rescued his wife. The two lived in the Gu village for another 30 years, until the day they entered the Gu Dao ..."

Mai Mai became more and more confused: "They? You mean the headman and his wife? Why did they enter the Gu Dao?"

The old man smiled wryly: "As I said just now, the same life Gu should not be too far away from each other. The wife of the headman is a Han outside, and the headman fell in love with her at first sight, and he used the same life Gu to save her. In order to survive , she could only stay by the headman's side. But she didn't want to live in this village in the deep mountains. After enduring for 30 years, she finally decided to leave. But she went the wrong way and entered the Gu Dao. The headman also tried to save her. Entered the Gu Dao. But when he found his wife, she had already turned into a worm. Since you have entered the Gu Dao, you should know that the secret of the Gu Dao lies in the constant mutual devouring and evolution. The headman’s wife After eating the living things in the Gu Dao, he put himself into the evolution chain of refining Gu. In the end, the headman brought his wife who became a worm to find the stone room, but only one person could come out of the stone room, so he finally took his wife He became a Gu King and walked out of the Gu Dao with the Gu King. He said that he used the Gu King for his own personal use, and now he can finally pay another Gu King to the village. Then he committed suicide and passed the Gu King to the village. It is a pity that this Gu King still did not escape the fate of degeneration in the end."

Mai Mai was shocked when he heard it, thinking of the military adviser who became a lizard man in the Gu Dao, he couldn't imagine how the leader would feel.Shao Jing didn't care about this, and said coldly: "His wife was forced to stay by his side, and he should be responsible for the unsatisfactory future. But I want to know, how did you get out of the Gu Dao?"

The old man smiled: "Do you think I will also bring a Gu King out? No, I didn't go into the stone chamber. After finding Bai Wan's body, I returned the same way. The Gatekeeper Dragon was dead, so I was able to go back the same way. The blood-sucking Gu vines on the door banyan still can't stop me."

Mai Mai was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Shao Jing, both of them said in their eyes: How could they go back?

"Then, doesn't that Gu Dao mean it's useless? People can go back to their own ways, so can bugs, right?" Mai Mai remembered the days when she was terrified, she really hated it to death.Why didn't you think about going back then?But even though the Gatekeeper Dragon is dead, they seem to be unable to deal with those blood-sucking Gu vines... Thinking of this, I felt a little more balanced.

The old man also frowned slightly: "The worm is still walking in the direction of the stone chamber and has not turned back. I don't want to understand why."

The worms are still walking towards the stone chamber... Is there anything special about the stone chamber that attracts the worms?So why can't Gu holes work?What is the difference between a stone chamber and a Gu cave?

The old man wiped all the bones and put them in a china jar.He picked up the basket, and with a ding, a dagger fell out and fell to the ground.This ding seemed to suddenly break a wall in Maimai's head: "Ah! I know what's different!"
