Chapter 7 Truly so handsome!!!
After Zhou Yi spoke about spiritual energy, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao also broadened their horizons.
They knew nothing about the Southern Border region.
“I’ve also heard my wife talk about spiritual energy. She said as long as there’s enough spiritual energy, you can raise many Gu worms! However, I think I also heard her say… this thing called spiritual energy can be plundered.”
“Plundered?”
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, Gege suddenly spoke.
This immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Especially when Zhou Yi heard Gege mention plundering spiritual energy, his face showed a look of interest.
The Southern Border is not small, and the Gu techniques used are diverse and varied.
Zhou Yi knows these things because of his master.
Therefore, it is not ruled out that what Gege said is true!
When Gege saw all eyes focused on him, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva before boldly continuing.
“Yes! However, this method of plundering is very cruel. People must first be soaked in a large vat and prepared with countless special medicinal herbs. After the human body absorbs the medicinal properties, Gu worms that have already recognized a master are sent into the body, and then the Gu worms will absorb the spiritual energy of the ‘medicine person’ and become powerful.”
“Would anyone really do such a harmful thing?”
Afterward, hearing the method Gege described, Zhou Yi couldn’t help but frown.
He was very shocked to learn about such forbidden techniques in the Southern Border. He never knew that people could be refined into “medicine people.”
Such an act is truly too harmful to heaven and earth!
“Of course, my wife did it, but she only made it once and said that this method was not very practical. It would be better to send the Gu worms to Wancong Valley to fight, which could improve the Gu worms’ abilities.”
“…”
After hearing Gege finish, Gu Yu felt very sympathetic towards this friend. To marry such a fierce wife.
She kills people at the slightest provocation; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her a great demon.
However, Gege himself was like a flower raised in a greenhouse, constantly retching at the sight of a corpse.
This truly made people wonder if it was true that fools have fool’s luck.
“Why are you all looking at me? Although my wife is ruthless, she is very good to me! It would be even more perfect if she didn’t always threaten me.”
When Gege noticed everyone’s gaze still on him, he awkwardly scratched his head and spoke again, which finally made everyone shift their attention away from him.
They then turned back to stare at the corpse in front of them, becoming entangled in why the corpse’s death aura could nourish Gu worms.
Logically speaking, without spiritual energy, the Gu worms should have died along with it.
But now, there were even more Gu worms in the corpse.
This situation completely subverted the understanding of Southern Border Gu techniques…
“Since we can’t see anything, let’s cut open the corpse and see what’s going on.”
As everyone was puzzling over the corpse, Gu Mengyao suddenly spoke, causing everyone to look at her.
However, Gu Mengyao’s expression did not change, unlike Gege’s unease.
From this, one could see the difference between the two.
Gu Mengyao’s desire to dissect the corpse was a helpless move.
After all, their purpose for coming to the Southern Border this time was to retrieve the lost Imperial Seal. After the major change in the Southern Border, Gu Mengyao had to find the reason!
Otherwise, the Imperial Guards who had accompanied her would be in danger!
Although Gu Yu could save people at critical moments, saving so many people would inevitably lead to his secret being exposed due to too many people talking… This was not the development Gu Mengyao wanted to see!
Therefore, she had to guard herself from now on!
She aimed to find the reason for the changes in the Southern Border as soon as possible, so that she could take preventive measures in advance and avoid being passively assaulted.
With this thought, Gu Mengyao no longer hesitated. She directly drew her long sword from its sheath and was about to act on the corpse.
“Mengyao, wait a moment. Let’s leave this kind of thing to the professionals!”
“?”
“I’ll do it.”
Seeing Gu Mengyao about to act, Gu Yu stepped forward and stopped her.
However, Gu Mengyao was stunned when she heard Gu Yu would do it himself.
Afterward, she wanted to say something, but seeing Gu Yu’s resolute expression, she didn’t say anything further and just nodded at him.
Her little husband was too considerate!
Especially since Gu Yu was afraid of insects!
To be able to say such a thing at this moment was truly too handsome!!!
When Gu Yu saw that Gu Mengyao didn’t say anything to stop him, the corners of his mouth turned upwards, knowing that his little wife understood him!
However, when he turned to look at the corpse full of insects, Gu Yu’s smile quickly faded.
Then, he took a deep breath.
He then took out a mask and wrapped it thickly around his face, asked an Imperial Guard for a long sword, and began to act on the corpse.
Although Gu Yu had never dissected a human body, the Medical Scripture contained anatomical diagrams of the human body, and they were from the original Medical Scripture.
With years of memory, dissecting corpses at this moment was naturally not too difficult for Gu Yu.
Even though it was not a precise scalpel but an uncontrollable long sword, it could not hinder Gu Yu, who was very familiar with human anatomy.
Thus, under the shocked gazes of everyone, Gu Yu dissected the corpse piece by piece.
The complete pieces of the corpse were enough to prove Gu Yu’s superb dissection skills.
However, it made Gege and many Imperial Guards vomit on the side, and they had a new understanding of Gu Yu in their hearts.
At the same time, they secretly wondered if Gu Yu had some perverted hobbies given his familiarity with dissecting human bodies!!!
“Alright, the dissection is complete. Zhou Yi, come and take a look!”
Suppressing his fear of insects, Gu Yu immediately threw the long sword on the ground after finishing the dissection and quickly moved away from the corpse.
It wasn’t that Gu Yu was afraid of the corpse, but the insects scattered on the ground gave him a creepy feeling.
After Zhou Yi witnessed Gu Yu’s dissection skills, he had many speculations, but upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, he did not hesitate and quickly walked forward.
Using the long sword left aside, he picked through the pieces of the corpse and Zhou Yi examined the situation carefully.
It didn’t take long before he heard a sound of “Yi.”
Then, using the long sword, he picked out a round object from the corpse’s internal organs.
“Seeing this thing, I think I know the reason!”
Afterward, without waiting for others to ask, Zhou Yi spoke with a solemn expression.
This made everyone present curious, not knowing what clue Zhou Yi had discovered!
