Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 37: Green Radish Gu
After Mu Shan suffered a setback at the hands of Lu Qingshan and fled back in disgrace, he pretended to be doing nothing and inadvertently found another demon hunter.
"Brother, that guy is so slippery. I followed your instructions and went over to provoke him, hoping to force him to take action. Unexpectedly, not only did I fail to make him reveal any secrets, but I also lost face." Mu Shan whispered to the monk next to him with a resentful look on his face.
If an outsider heard their conversation at this moment, he would be extremely surprised.
Because the cultivator whom Mu Shan called "big brother" was also a demon hunter, named Wu Xinyuan.
From their conversation, it is obvious that they have a close relationship.
But before this, Wu Xinyuan and Mu Shan had always been acting as strangers who had never met each other.
Wu Xinyuan frowned when he heard this, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Mu Shan gnashed his teeth and said, "Brother, I know you are cautious, but how much can a young boy weigh? This kid looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and he can have a cultivation level of the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining. You are overestimating him. Why are you worried about him? Do you really think he can cause any trouble?"
Mu Shan felt that he had lost face in front of Lu Qingshan. At this moment, he hated Lu Qingshan so much in his heart that he wished he could skin Lu Qingshan alive. Seeing Wu Xinyuan looking hesitant, he hurriedly tried to persuade him.
After hearing what Mu Shan said, Wu Xinyuan thought about it carefully and felt that he might be too cautious.
Although monks have the ability to maintain their youth, one cannot judge a person's age by their appearance.
But that is for high-level monks.
As far as Qi-refining cultivators are concerned, their age is determined by their appearance.
How much weight can a young man who looks like he hasn't even grown all his hair have? Who knows? He might just be lucky enough to have learned some martial arts skills and has the cultivation level of one or two levels of Qi Refining, yet he dares to come out and act recklessly.
The life of walking on thin ice these years has made me seem a little neurotic.
Wu Xinyuan laughed at himself in his heart.
"Brother, when are we going to start?"
Wu Xinyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally decided: "Let's do it tonight, so as to avoid any more trouble."
During this day, he had already found out all the details.
There were eleven cultivators from the Lin family accompanying them. Except for Lin He, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, the others were minor cultivators below the fifth level of Qi Refining.
There was also the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yao, who had always been in the carriage and had never come out.
Although Lin Yao has never appeared in public and is very mysterious, Wu Xinyuan still knows her age: she is only eighteen.
At the age of eighteen, how high can one’s cultivation level be?
On the demon hunter side, there are a total of ten people, eight of whom are our own people.
The eight people have at least the sixth level of Qi Refining, and myself, with the tenth level of Qi Refining, is enough to crush everyone.
Of the remaining two demon hunters, one had already been figured out to be at the fifth level of Qi Refining and was not worth mentioning. The other one was the young monk whose background was unknown.
The power disparity is so huge, and with the intention of taking action, I think it will be easy to win.
Wu Xinyuan was certain in his heart that he had a sure win.
…
Although in the eyes of monks, the difference between day and night is not that big.
But the black rhino had to take a rest after hauling a whole truckload of ore.
Lin He carefully surveyed the terrain and chose a leeward slope with no signs of monsters living nearby as his camp.
It’s called a camp, but it’s actually just a circle of trucks.
Soon, the cultivators of the Lin family, under Lin He's instructions, held formation flags and set up a warning formation around.
Once a monster invades, the warning formation will immediately issue a warning.
After setting up the formation, the monks leaned against the truck and took a nap.
The roads chosen by the convoy were all roads that had been walked by previous people. Even if there were monsters, they had been cleared out. In theory, it should be very safe.
However, if one holds on to this idea and acts recklessly in the wilderness, such a person will often die a miserable death.
Low-level monsters do not have a strong sense of territory and often roam around to hunt for food.
So even if a place was extremely safe yesterday, one or two monsters might appear today.
So although the journey seems peaceful, everyone is actually on high alert, always on guard against any disturbance.
Not only the black rhino needs rest, in fact, these monks are also mentally exhausted and need rest as well.
Wu Xinyuan took a bag of spiritual wine, walked up to Lin He, and greeted him cheerfully: "Manager Lin, I have a pot of spiritual wine here, which has the effect of refreshing. Manager Lin, would you like to have a few sips?"
Lin He smiled and waved his hand to decline, "No, the spirit wine is not cheap, you should keep it for yourself."
It is right to be on guard when facing unfamiliar monks.
Lin He dare not drink this wine carelessly.
Wu Xinyuan didn't mind Lin He's refusal and turned around to leave.
At this time, Mu Shan came over from the side, patted Wu Xinyuan on the back, and yelled at the top of his voice: "Wu Xinyuan, you are so mean. Why do you only ask Manager Lin and not us? Do you look down on us casual cultivators?"
Maybe the action was too sudden and startled Wu Xinyuan.
The water bag in Wu Xinyuan's hand slipped out and fell to the ground.
The spirit wine in the water bag spilled out, and the aroma of the wine filled the air.
Wu Xinyuan looked at the spirit wine spilled on the ground, feeling a little pained, and complained to Mu Shan: "This bag of spirit wine costs five first-grade spirit stones, now it's all wasted."
Mu Shan quickly bowed and apologized.
Lin He sniffed the aroma of wine in the air and said in amazement, "What kind of wine is this? Why is it so mellow?"
Wu Xinyuan's eyes flashed with venom: "This wine is called Meng Po Soup. When you reach the underworld, you can drink as much as you want!"
Lin He's expression suddenly changed when he heard this: "You..."
Wu Xinyuan laughed: "It's too late to react now!"
After saying this, Lin He froze, and a bright green light flashed across his face.
[Green Radish Gu]: A first-grade Gu insect that emits a strange and difficult-to-conceal wine aroma.
Special effect: After parasitizing a monk, it can release green radish poison, making the parasitized monk unable to use spiritual power for a period of time.
The Green Radish Gu is considered a relatively powerful type of Gu . Its spirit-binding effect is a fatal blow to low-level cultivators who only have a few means.
However, the shortcomings of this Gu are also obvious. The Green Radish Gu naturally has a strong aroma of wine, and it is difficult for it to work unless in a special situation.
As long as one is a little bit prepared, a poisonous Gu like the Green Ivy Gu, which is extremely fragile in itself, will not be able to get close to the cultivator.
However, Wu Xinyuan used the fragrance of the spiritual wine to cover up the aroma of wine emitted by the Green Radish Gu itself, making Lin He fall into the trap without any preparation.
Wu Xinyuan is a Gu cultivator.
Gu cultivation is a branch of beast cultivation. Due to the strangeness of the Gu worms, the methods used by Gu cultivators are extremely sinister and difficult to guard against.
