Chapter 8: You absolutely cannot underestimate me!
“This person is not an ordinary person, but was refined into a medicine person, but died here for reasons unknown.”
“Medicine person?”
As soon as they heard what Zhou Yi said, everyone present was instantly shocked.
Unexpectedly, after just hearing Gege mention medicine people, they now saw one with their own eyes.
However, Zhou Yi did not recognize medicine people.
How did he discover that this corpse was a medicine person in life!
“Look at this round sphere. If I’m not mistaken, this is a Gu worm egg in his body. Once it hatches using the spiritual energy in this person’s body, it will become a powerful Gu worm.”
“Even so, how can you be sure that this person is a medicine person? After all, you only heard Gege mention the matter of refining medicine people just now, but now…”
Gu Yu spoke at this moment, listening to what Zhou Yi said.
This question directly expressed the doubts in everyone’s hearts, and they all looked at Zhou Yi with curiosity.
“It was only after hearing Gege’s words that it vaguely reminded me that my master had mentioned things about medicine people. It’s just that I don’t like the Gu techniques of the Southern Border very much, so I didn’t memorize them carefully… but I roughly remember a few phrases, knowing that the efficacy of refining medicine people is not about raising Gu worms on their behalf, but rather a certain number of Gu worms will fight within the body, eventually forming the strongest egg.”
As he saw the gazes from all around, Zhou Yi did not hide anything, but explained the whole story in one go.
After hearing this, everyone nodded, understanding the reason.
“However, the conversion of spiritual energy to dead energy is still an unsolved mystery! I guess it’s because of the medicine person’s physique that it turned out this way, but I’m not sure. We need to see if there are any other similar corpses.”
“In that case, let’s continue moving forward! Perhaps there are more corpses waiting for us ahead.”
However, there was no answer to the question of spiritual energy and dead energy in the end.
Gu Mengyao did not stay in place any longer, and with a command, the team immediately moved forward quickly.
“Brother, you’re too amazing! You actually looked at that corpse without even blinking… I felt like throwing up just from taking one glance!”
“I am a doctor, so I naturally understand the human body structure, so it was best for me to dissect it! Do you expect someone who keeps throwing up to do it?”
When Gu Yu and Gege sat back in the carriage, Gu Yu immediately rolled his eyes at Gege as he heard him patting his chest, still shaken.
This son-in-law who married into the wife’s family in Zhongjia Village is truly too weak!
He was so scared by just a corpse that he threw up.
Can he still do anything in the future?
However, on second thought, Gu Yu felt that he couldn’t demand others according to his own standards.
After all, someone as amazing as him can’t be found elsewhere…
Thinking this, Gu Yu’s mood immediately improved.
Gege, who was being spoken to by Gu Yu, felt a little curious about this not-so-old man. He wondered why Gu Yu was so powerful as a fellow son-in-law who married into the wife’s family!
He looked so confident, with no hint of weakness at all.
Gu Yu did not feel embarrassed by his identity as a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family; instead, he took pride in it. It was truly incomprehensible what he was thinking!
You must know that even though his wife was still very obedient to him, Gege was mocked and looked down upon by others when he walked outside because of his identity as a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family.
This made Gege gradually dislike interacting with others, and he stayed at home every day, too lazy to be ridiculed by others.
His wife, seeing this, was not only not angry but also very happy.
Gege also knew the reason for this… His wife, despite being a great villain, was extremely afraid of loneliness.
After he married into her family, she treated him as her only relative.
Thinking of his wife, who treated him extremely well, Gege’s eyes became a little red again. He didn’t know if she had truly died in the village.
Isn’t it said that good people don’t live long, but bad people live for a thousand years?
She should be fine!
“Brother-in-law, my sister didn’t let me go down just now. What kind of corpse was it! I’m so curious, tell me quickly!”
“Go away, go away, you’re just a child, what are you so curious about! Seeing it would give you nightmares. Do you really want to see it?”
“I’m not a child anymore. I’ve watched you and my sister kill many people before, and I wasn’t scared… Brother-in-law, you’re underestimating me!”
Just as Gege was thinking about his wife, Gu Qingheng spoke at this moment.
After that, he leaned all his body close to Gu Yu, with a look that he wouldn’t leave unless Gu Yu told him, which was truly shameless!
This made Gu Yu speechless, knowing that once his younger brother-in-law’s curiosity was piqued, nothing could stop it!
After all, he was someone who dealt with gossip every day, so his curiosity was stronger than that of ordinary people!
“It’s nothing, just someone who was refined into a medicine person and died, and then his corpse was eaten by insects. There was a dense patch of them, and it was truly disgusting to look at.”
“Is that all?”
“To check for more detailed information, we directly dissected the corpse to see if there were any clues inside!”
“How was it, did you find anything!”
Afterward, listening to Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng showed no signs of disgust, only continuously inquired.
His large eyes were full of curiosity.
“We found a circular Gu worm egg. This thing was directly handed over to Zhou Yi for safekeeping. I don’t know what kind of thing it will hatch into.”
“That’s it!”
However, hearing that Gu Yu and the others only found an egg, Gu Qingheng’s face was immediately filled with disappointment.
He was very dissatisfied with such a plain development!
He thought it would be more magnificent, dangerous, and exciting…
“What else do you want?”
Seeing his younger brother-in-law looking like he wasn’t afraid of causing trouble, Gu Yu immediately raised his hand and hit Gu Qingheng on the head.
Gu Qingheng quickly raised his hand to cover his head and quickly moved his buttocks away, stopping after putting some distance between himself and Gu Yu.
“That’s how it is! I was so excited when I heard them say there was a corpse, but it turned out to be like this… It’s really all talk and no action, too boring.”
“Hmph, when you see the corpse, you won’t think so! Don’t come crying to me with nightmares then.”
After reaching a safe distance, Gu Qingheng finally dared to retort.
Gu Yu was speechless and rolled his eyes, thinking that his younger brother-in-law lacked the harshness of the real world.
When Gege saw the corpse full of insects just now, he had already run to the side and vomited towards the trees.
Gu Yu estimated that the same would happen to Gu Qingheng.
“Brother-in-law, you can underestimate others, but you absolutely cannot underestimate me!”
“Report, five more identical corpses have been discovered ahead!”
However, at this moment, the voice of the Imperial Guard suddenly resounded outside the carriage.
