Volume 1, Chapter 27, Deep Behind the Enemy
The blow was so sudden that the two apprentices were unprepared and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Zhu Qingge's eyes widened in disbelief: "Master, Master, what are you... doing?"
"Take a good look." Yun Yi pointed to the blood stains on the ground.
The bright red blood was mixed with bits of blue light. If you look closer, you can see that they are small insects the size of rice grains.
"What, what is this!" Seeing this scene, Chu Xier asked weakly, holding back her nausea.
"Heart-eating Gu." Yun Yi sighed, "Fortunately, it was still able to be excreted not long after it entered the body."
Upon hearing this name, the disciples couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The heart-eating Gu is something similar to a spiritual beast. After entering the human body, it will take root in the meridians and flesh and blood, feeding on the spiritual energy and vitality in the host's body.
Not only that, the Heart-Eating Gu will also release a venom that is addictive, making people dependent and uncontrollably wanting to consume more Gu.
If things go on like this, not only will the host's body become worse and worse, but it will also gradually become a walking zombie controlled by the Heart-Eating Gu.
As soon as he entered Moonsworn City, Yun Yi noticed that although the residents in the city seemed to be full of energy, they were actually like spent flowers and willows, and their bodies were already extremely weak.
After seeing the strange behavior of Tianzhe Palace, he took a closer look. Sure enough, a large number of heart-eating poisons were placed in all the meals delivered.
After eating the heart-eating Gu for three consecutive years, how can this be different?
However, due to his incomplete understanding of the situation in the city, he did not have an attack in person.
As an Immortal Lord, he would naturally not fall into such evil ways, but it was different for his disciples. Their cultivation level was not very high yet, so they needed his own help.
They had no choice but to deal so hard to them before. After all, if there is no antidote for this kind of thing, spiritual power alone will not be able to force the Gu insects out. Instead, it will become a delicacy that nourishes them. The only way is to take them by surprise and kill them hard with one move.
Beat it out.
Otherwise, how could Yunyi bear to let these two little guys get hurt at all.
"Master, master, what should we do now?" Zhu Qingge said timidly, "How about leaving here quickly?"
Chu Xier didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.
Yun Yi sighed, it was not a good habit to hide when something happened.
Thinking of this, he had an idea and replied: "If you don't leave, not only that, I want you two to find a way to find out why Tianzhe Palace did this."
"Me, us?" Hearing what he said, the little fox demon couldn't help but shudder, still a little scared about what just happened.
"Yes, it's just you two." Yun Yi nodded slightly. With his current situation, he really can't guarantee that he can always protect these two little guys. He might as well take this opportunity to train them.
Even if they may encounter trouble or even suffer some hardship, it is not a bad thing for them. After all, they will have to be independent in the future, which is better than suffering again.
"This is the Qingyuan Powder, which can help you not to be hindered by the Heart-Eating Gu in the future." Taking out two jade bottles and placing them on the table, Yun Yi continued, "This is also the only help I will provide you this time.
"
"The rest of the matter, what you think and do, is all up to you. My teacher will never interfere."
After saying that, Yun Yi flashed and left here, leaving the two little guys looking at each other.
"Senior Sister Chu, what should I do...what should I do?" Zhu Qingge looked confused.
Yun Yi has always been responsible for all matters and affairs between the three of them. The burden suddenly fell on them, and the two of them were at a loss for a while.
Chu Xier sighed and looked at the little fox demon hesitantly: "Since the master has said so, we have no choice but to follow his instructions."
One night passed, and the two little guys came to the door of Tianzhe Palace with faint dark circles under their eyes.
Tianzhe Palace stands in the city lord's palace, either replacing the original power, or both parties colluding in the same deeds. Such dramas will be performed every day in these cities that are not under jurisdiction.
The Tianzhe Palace disciple who was on guard at the door saw them and asked warily: "What's the matter with you?"
"Well, um... we two sisters suffered a disaster in our hometown and ended up here..." Zhu Qingge said coyly, with a pitiful and helpless tone, "I wonder... can Tianzhe Palace take us in?"
Before arriving, the two of them had specially dressed up, and now they looked like refugees fleeing the country.
The guard looked embarrassed and waved his hand gently: "Sorry, Tianzhe Palace is not accepting people now."
"╥﹏╥...Brother, please help us..." A trace of pink light flashed in the little fox demon's eyes, "Please~~"
Looking into her eyes, the disciple's eyes gradually became a little blurry, and he answered mechanically: "...Well, okay, you two come with me."
Seeing this scene, Chu Xier who was standing by her felt a 10,000-point critical shock in her heart.
Is this the talent of the Jade-tailed Fox clan? No wonder even the master...
After entering the gate, the guard led the two of them through many courtyards and came to the management office of Tianzhe Palace.
The person sitting in charge was a middle-aged man in black, whom the guard called Manager Lu.
After listening to the guard's narration, Manager Lu asked in a deep voice: "Are you two monks?"
Chu Xier nodded: "Yeah, but none of our cultivation levels are very high, only the Dan Formation realm."
Hearing that they were monks, Manager Lu seemed a little shaken, but he still hesitated, as if he was still weighing the matter.
Seeing this, Zhu Qingge quickly repeated his old tricks, showing off his charming skills and looking at him pitifully.
"...That's all. Although Tianzhe Palace does not accept disciples on weekdays, the sect rules teach us that we should be based on helping the world, so we will make an exception this time." I have to say that this trick is indeed effective. After she saw it like this, Manager Lu finally
Still relieved, "Zhang Xiaoshan, take them to the Internal Affairs Office and let them look at the arrangements."
Hearing the news, Chu Xier and Zhu Qingge looked at each other and smiled, the plan was successful, yeah!
Last night, after Yun Yi left, the two little guys planned the whole night and finally formulated this plan.
If you come out in the open, there is a high probability that you will be discovered. It is better to break into the enemy directly and investigate secretly.
The outer disciple named Zhang Xiaoshan was led to the Internal Affairs Office. The two received the disciple uniforms and waist badges of Tianzhe Palace. After being questioned by the people there for a long time, they were assigned residences and jobs.
Chu Xi'er was assigned to handle some daily chores, and Zhu Qingge was assigned to the kitchen, which were both good places for inquiring about information.
Moreover, the two people live together and there are no outsiders, which is even more perfect.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoshan~" Before leaving, Zhu Qingge winked at Zhang Xiaoshan playfully, showing an innocent smile, "You are such a good person~"
