1024 Venomous Gu

d been chasing after them for two or three years, clashing with their people several times. Since the other party was entrenched outside, it was inconvenient to strike first, so he could only deal wit...Cloud-Famed Uncle Master isn't actually that old. He's younger than my esteemed brother-in-arms, just a young man in his twenties.

He usually looks mature for his age, but when he speeds, he instantly transforms into a carefree young rebel, having a blast all the way, wishing he could tear open the sky and howl like a wolf.

The little wife didn't bother to say anything to him, she just quietly pinched her fingers and muttered incantations.

"...What's the little wife doing" I whispered in Mu Wanchen's ear.

"Let's take the back door." Mu Wanchen replied calmly.

I quickly saw what "back door" was.

At the bend ahead, a grim reaper in a white robe and square hat with a black face grinned wickedly and wheezed as he moved a trash can.

At that moment, the road seemed to widen.

The average person's eyes couldn't see this kind of change at all. In just an instant, what was rushing past the trash can was now a full zhang away from us.

Yin Cha waved at our car, and Master Yun Fan, despite his busy schedule, rolled down the passenger window and whistled at Yin Cha.

Then, Yincha's face was filled with excitement as he rubbed his hands together. I leaned against the car window and looked out. Yincha kept watching our car leave, almost giving us a salute.

"Is the little wife so influential even in the Underworld" I expressed my doubt.

"How is that possible." Mu Xia Qiao said to herself, "What authority do I have All the authority belongs to my brother-in-law!"

I was suppressing a smile. Master Yunfan is truly someone who can get along with everyone in the Three Realms and Ten Directions. He has a temper, but when interacting with people, he makes you feel like he doesn't have one at all.

That's probably the level of a shrewd person, I have to learn from him.

Mu Wanchen whispered the direction to Yun Fan, his master. I couldn't interject, so I quietly leaned against the passenger seat backrest and chatted in low tones with my junior sister.

"Little wife, is the underworld very big"

"...Actually, there are two concepts of the underworld. In general terms, the underworld refers to the place where the King of Hell resides, simply put, it's where the law enforcement agencies of the netherworld are located. However, in our mortal world, the underworld is equivalent to the entire Netherworld. In fact, they - for example, the Seventh Emperor - believe that the underworld is the vast area that encompasses everything back there..."

"How big is it"

"... This, one can only say that imagination is limitless. I don't know how to describe it, even the gods and demons would find it difficult to describe."

Oh, gods and spirits…

I turned my head to look at Mu Wanchen.

These days I don't know how many books I've flipped through, from official histories to unofficial ones, from myths to legends.

It is said that the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain were also transformed from Nuwa's intestines. They are a worship of life, living, and reproduction. However, why are there exactly ten I haven't found a single word in any scriptures.

Some say that Zuwu was Zhu Rong. Zhu means male shaman, and Rong symbolizes light. However, Zhu Rong was also an official title held by many people. Which one was the true "shaman"

There are very few records about witches. They all practiced mysticism and there were no systematic written records.

To which category does Mu Wanchen belong: the three realms, ten directions, immortals, demons, humans, and ghosts

Yun Fan's master's car seemed to be specially made. It drove so fast but didn't drift at all.

We soon caught up to the ugly woman's car - it had already been abandoned by the roadside.

"What place is this..." Mu Xia Qiao frowned as soon as she got out of the car: "The terrain is so dangerous, could it be where they raise venomous insects"

Mountain terrain

I looked up and around. It was still daylight, but the mountains here were so steep that the shaded side looked like twilight.

"Isn't it said that people who raise centipedes are very clean There's no cobweb or dust, and in such mountainous and barren places, how can they raise centipedes" I looked at Mu Wanchen.

Mu Wanchen shook his head and said, "Some gu insects like places with strong yang energy, while others like places with strong yin energy. But since we're raising them, they definitely won't be randomly placed in desolate wilderness areas. There must be a place where people live here. Let's look around."

"The signal here is terrible, the map won't load at all." Master Yunfan held his phone and swiped it for a long time, but only half of the map appeared.

"Follow the scent of silk, you won't go wrong in your general direction." Mu Wanchen led us forward.

Here, far from the city, we didn't encounter many cars along the way.

As far as the eye could see, there were only mountains, and we were on the leeward side, with no villages in sight.

Until we rounded a hill, we looked back and realized that the village was actually situated halfway up the mountain!

The rows upon rows of adobe houses, about fifty or sixty in all, were divided into two clusters built halfway up the mountain. Cars couldn't get up there; only a dirt and stone path wound its way up the slope, making it seem somewhat lonely.

"This place… how have I never heard of it before…" I scratched my head in bewilderment.

"As a young lady who never leaves the house and takes bodyguards everywhere, how could you possibly know about these remote villages" Yun Fan's master shrugged his backpack onto his shoulder.

"How are we going to find it There are so many houses here... Shall we just ask each one" I pointed towards the houses scattered on the hillside.

"Just ask your husband, he can communicate with all the animals and plants in this world. What's there to be afraid of" Master Yunfan said with a sneer.

Really I looked at Mu Wanchen.

He once pulled me out of the snake pit, using many plant roots woven into a soft ladder.

"...Animals have two spirits, plants have one. As long as something is alive, it can communicate." Mu Wanchen whispered to me, "But the animals and plants of the outside world, their auras are all already impure..."

This mountain path is a winding dirt road, sloping upwards. The mountainside faces the sun, which is completely different from the back side. The wind here is more dry.

Mu Wanchen reached out and touched a tree by the roadside, shaking his head. "Dead branches and withered leaves, there is no trace of life left."

"What do you mean The tree is dead It should come back to life next spring, right" I followed him cautiously.

"He should have been devoured by the Gu spirit by now. This village is no ordinary place, we should be cautious." Mu Wanchen reminded.

The little wife grumbled, "Need you say that We've been walking for ages and haven't seen a single soul. How could this be an ordinary village"

She had just finished speaking when the weeds by the roadside suddenly moved, startling her almost into a scream.

emmmm……My apprentice wife is even more timid than me

In the grass, there was a small dog looking for food. It looked thin and malnourished. When it saw us strangers, it didn't bark, just turned its head and walked away.

"Bait..." Mu Wanchen frowned and said softly, "Follow that little thing."

This little dog had short legs and couldn't run fast. It slipped to the outside of a courtyard made of mud brick, and wouldn't go inside no matter what. It lay listlessly at the entrance, letting out a few weak whimpers.

"This dog knows it can't enter the yard," Yun Fan, the master, said quietly as he rubbed his palms together. "There must be something fishy going on here, Mu Wanchen, quickly release your Gu spirit."

Mu Wanchen glared at him: "Do you want to see what the Gu Spirit looks like"

"Hehehe... You're so stingy, you don't even want to let us take a look. I'm just curious, aren't I..." Yun Fan's master smiled and said, "Your Gu spirit should be much stronger than the opponent's, right Solve the opponent's Gu spirit in two or three moves, we'd better try our best to capture the person alive."

Mu Wanchen raised his head and looked at the courtyard. He sniffed the air carefully and shook his head, "Not necessarily, it seems that these are also five poisons..."e, now I can even see visions, so the black mist I saw that day must have had a reason... Could it be some kind of virus..." I said, frowning.Mu Wanchen retracted his smile, reached out and lifted me...
