Two treasure maps

Chapter 52: Emotional Gu

"Love Gu is made by wizards or Miao women through special methods, usually involving elements such as heart blood and poison. It can be put on food or clothing, etc., to make the person who is poisoned have a strong love, attachment or fear for a certain person or thing, or even lose their mind. The characteristic of love Gu is that it can change people's emotions, making people deeply infatuated or dependent on it." Hong Hu's fox eyes flashed with a deep light, and he said faintly.

He also felt helpless that Flower Fairy had directly broken up his relationship with Guo Yangli. It seemed that Flower Fairy was determined to destroy his plan to continue following Guo Yangli, so she used the matter of these girls to bring up the topic of the love poison.

Although both of them have the responsibility to protect Guo Lin's family, Hong Hu does not want to be tied to their boat. Who knows what Guo Lin's family will experience? Following them may not have any benefits, but the disadvantage is that people will definitely be targeted. Cultivation is not easy, why do you have to be so depressed? Even if Qingyue Tianshi has made a promise to him, he has to wait until he hears back from the Heavenly Court before taking action. Otherwise, Qingyue Tianshi is just drawing a pie for him, wouldn't he lose out?

However, since Flower Fairy has already made a move, he cannot help but accept it.

Before Hong Hu could continue his story, Guo Yangli felt weak. Her legs seemed to have lost their support and she sat down on the ground. Her heart was beating so fast that she didn't know if she had been poisoned by some mysterious love-confusion poison. She thought of her previous dependence on Hong Hu, but now it turned into a deep fear.

The noise here immediately attracted the attention of those not far away. Those silver-masked men were busy roasting rabbit meat, and the aroma filled the air. Hearing the sound, they immediately became alert, stopped what they were doing, and looked over here in unison.

Seeing this, Hong Hu was not panicked. He came out from his hiding place with a smile, and bowed to the silver-masked people, saying: "Hello everyone, I passed by here and smelled the aroma of barbecue. I was really hungry. I wonder if you can spare some to fill my stomach?"

Those silver masked men were the team led by Yin Jiu. Yin Jiu recognized Hong Hu at a glance. He sneered and said, "See you again, Hong Hu. You escaped from Wild Wolf Valley. I thought you would learn to be smarter. I didn't expect you to fall into the trap so soon."

Hong Hu was dressed in red, with his black hair fluttering in the wind. He still had that nonchalant smile on his face, as if everything was under his control. He smiled and said, "I found it interesting that you guys were using the love-inducing Gu to control this girl, so I want to get involved. How about it? How about giving me one?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Yin Jiu's eyes, and he said coldly: "You don't know your own limitations."

Hong Hu was unmoved. He continued, "This love-confusing Gu is a very rare treasure. If I destroy the three of them, I wonder how you are going to report to your superiors?" As he spoke, he was about to take action.

Seeing this, Yin Jiu's heart tightened. He knew Hong Hu was not joking, and he might really destroy those three people. He weighed the pros and cons and could only ask, "What do you want?"

Hong Hu said sternly: "We will not save these three people. But you cannot touch my people either."

Yin Jiu was silent for a while, then he said helplessly: "In this case, we will not interfere with each other."

Hong Hu nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's settled."

Then, Qingyue Tianshi and Honghu drew a line between the two as the dividing line between the two sides. Everyone abided by the agreement and did not cross that line.

Guo Lin and others also came out from their hiding place. They were relieved to see that Hong Hu and the silver masked man had reached an agreement. They found an open space and started camping.

As night fell, Guo Lin and his companions got busy. They began to collect dry firewood and light a bonfire. The flames danced in the night, illuminating their tired but resolute faces. They took out the food they brought with them. Although it was simple, it seemed particularly precious on such a night.

Sitting around the fire, they were all a little tired, but they didn't dare to really rest. Guo Yangli silently looked at the Guo clan members around her. She knew that although Guo Lin was her uncle, her father came with her second uncle after all, and the relationship with everyone was not harmonious. She had only been with them for a little over a month, and could not really rely on them.

Guo Yangli knew that she had to rely on herself to survive in this dangerous place. She chose to remain silent and quietly followed Hong Hu. Even if she was really infected with some kind of love poison, she was not afraid. As long as Hong Hu could send her safely to the Xiuguo Palace, then all the efforts would be worth it.

Zhao Ying, however, was worried about the love-confusing Gu again. She still had her daughter by her side, and if Hong Hu really did something wrong, they would not be able to stop him. Therefore, Zhao Ying was eager to understand what the love-confusing Gu was and what its symptoms were. Only by understanding it in depth could she avoid danger and avoid being infected.

Hong Hu knew he couldn't avoid it, so he slowly explained to everyone, "The love poison is a type of love poison, and it's also a good poison for practicing seduction techniques. Once the insect enters the body, the person will die, but the love poison will penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and will attack regularly, or obey the orders of the person who raised the poison. This poison is extremely vicious, and the person who is infected will be unable to extricate himself."

Zhao Ying became even more worried after listening to Hong Hu's explanation. She pulled Liuli, Meili and Fengli to her side, fearing that they would also be harmed by the love-confusing Gu. After all, judging from Yangli's condition, she had already been poisoned by this Gu.

Upon seeing this, Hong Hu quickly pointed at Yang Li and said, "Don't get me wrong, the love poison that she was infected with was not planted by me. When I came, she had already been poisoned for some time." He was eager to distance himself from the matter, fearing that he would be misunderstood by everyone.

Hong Hu's explanation did not completely dispel everyone's doubts, especially Zhao Ying, who frowned with worry in her eyes. She knew the viciousness of the love poison and knew that once you are poisoned, it is not easy to get rid of it.

Guo Lin was silent, his eyes wandering between Hong Hu and the bound Yun girls. He knew that at this moment, he could neither rescue those girls nor ensure the safety of his family. This feeling of powerlessness filled him with depression.

Guo Feipeng and Guo Feimo sat together. Although they felt sympathy for the Yun family girl's experience, they were more afraid of the unknown. They were worried that once they were involved in this dispute, it would bring greater disaster to the entire family.

Fairy Flower looked at the expressions of the crowd and sighed softly. She knew that they were at a crossroads at the moment, and every decision might affect their future. However, she could not give clear suggestions and could only observe the development of the situation silently.

The moonlight was bright, and the eyes of those men in silver masks were cold and fierce, as if they were looking at prey, as they looked over here.

Guo Lin's heart tightened. He knew that if the silver masked men breached the contract, they would have a fierce battle. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Protecting his wife and children was his duty as a man.

However, what no one expected was that these silver-masked men put out the fire as if nothing had happened, and left with the three Yun girls.
