When Lu Chaoyan heard this, she touched the mini recorder in her bag and thought of a painting she had bought, which contained a mermaid skin and words she had never seen before.

Could it be the mermaid skin paper that the old man mentioned?

After the old man finished telling the story of his ancestors and the Face-Changing Gu, he talked about their experiences.

The story began sixty years ago, when a group of explorers came to their village. One of them was named Li Boxun. He fell in love with a girl named Xin Mei in the village and got married in the village.

Not long after, the two had a child. Li Boxun said that he would go home to tell his parents and then come to pick Xingmei up.

But the girl waited for a year and he never came. The child died of complications during childbirth.

Xin Mei went to find Li Boxun and was away for two years. When she came back, she hastily married the man whose wife had died in the village.

The two had not lived together for a year when the man died and she left again.

Since then, he hasn't been back for ten years.

When he came back, he brought a group of armed men in black. They forced the men in the village to feed them face-changing insects and asked the women to give birth to children for them.

At first everyone disagreed, but they finally gave in after they brutally killed several children.

Therefore, they were locked up underground by the men in black to raise the face-changing insects.

Xin Mei also wants them to cultivate a poisonous insect that can change a man's face.

Compared to raising the Gu in a woman's uterus, raising the Face-Changing Gu in a man's body is particularly complicated.

The newly born twin poisonous insects must be raised for ten years with the blood of the person whose face you want to replace, so that they can completely recognize their master.

Then, through surgery, they are placed into the abdominal cavity below the belly button of the person they want to capture, and allowed to survive inside for three years.

After three years, one of them is taken out and placed into the abdominal cavity of the person who needs a face transplant. It only takes half a year for the person to have the face of the other person.

For safety reasons, the skin and flesh of the person who has been raising the poisonous insect for three years must be destroyed.

At the end of his speech, Mr. Xu sighed, "Our ancestors taught us that once the Face Changing Gu is planted in a person's body, the two people will live and die together, and cannot be separated for the rest of their lives, so it is listed as a forbidden technique, and no one can touch it."

Li Qingheng was very puzzled. With his second uncle's medical skills, it was impossible that he could not find the cause.

"Then the person who was poisoned by the poison wouldn't be able to notice it?"

Old man Xu shook his head. "The old gynecologist may be able to detect coldness through the pulse and treat it as a cold. Other doctors, no matter how good they are, cannot easily detect it, especially men. It is difficult to detect it."

Chu Feng also asked in confusion: "Is there no way to remove the poison, and no other way to suppress it?"

Old Man Xu looked distressed. "Only things with fire properties can restrain them, but they can't be killed."

Lu Chaoyan asked: "Do you know what the words on the fish skin paper look like?"

Old Mr. Xu walked towards the room where the books were kept with difficulty and pointed at an antique box.

"There is an ancient booklet left by our ancestors. It contains records about mermaid parchment. You can take a look at it."

When Si Zhengyan heard what Mr. Xu said, he quickly walked over and took the box.

After some tinkering, I found there was no mechanism, so I opened it.

There were seven booklets inside, all of which had turned black.

Lu Chaoyan picked it up and flipped through it. It was full of content related to the Face-Changing Gu.

One of the oldest books contained some fragments written on mermaid parchment, and the text was exactly the same as the text in the painting that Lu Chaoyan bought by accident.

She was delighted, thinking there was hope of curing the face-changing poison.

She took the wooden box and said, "Give me these books. Maybe I can research a way to cure the poison."

Her medical skills were evident to everyone, and no one objected.

Baili Yun, who had been leaning against the door of the ice room and looking at the glass tube inside, asked Uncle Xu.

"What's with the glass tube in the ice room? Why are our names written on it?"

Old Man Xu looked at him dimly and said, "These are the ones collected from outside to make the women in the village pregnant."

The purpose is very simple, which is to use the face-changing Gu in the future. When the children raised in the village grow up, they will be replaced with the skin of people who are related to them by blood, so as to spy on the information.

Chu Feng and Baili Yun finally understood what was going on between Li Qingheng and Lu Chaoyan.

The two were ashamed and angry and wanted to destroy those things immediately.

Old Man Xu shook his head helplessly. "It's useless. They have been doing this for thirty years. There are already hundreds of young men who have been brought in to have their faces replaced."

Such a huge amount of data is simply shocking.

Si Zhengyan asked, "What will they do with the one hundred victims?"

Old Man Xu said, "I don't know. The two people who were infected with the Face Changing Gu lived and died together. They need to sense each other to survive. They won't be too far away."

After saying this, he looked at the library and said, "It records the information of the biological fathers of all the children in the village. Please arrange a proper place for them, because they are also poor people.

It is not difficult to identify those who have changed their faces. People with face-changing Gu have coldness in their abdomens. You can find disfigured people who often meet them around them and check for coldness in their abdomens to find out. "

"Cold in the stomach?"

Baili Yun's expression changed drastically. "What are the symptoms of the cold in the woman's abdomen?"

"You just felt the power of the bugs in the well. Putting them in your body is like putting a block of ice in your body. You will be infertile for life and your skin will be as white as snow."

"No, it's impossible!"

Baili Yun thought of Baili Bingbing. Could it be that her face had also been replaced?

But she has never left home since she was a child, how could she come here to change her face?

Lu Chaoyan said sarcastically, "Nothing is impossible. If you dare to keep Gu Sui, who is extremely evil, you should expect that it will backfire on you."

Baili Yun asked in confusion: "What Gu Sui? You are talking about the traitor from 20 years ago. Isn't he dead?"

"Let's talk about this when we get back."

Lu Chaoyan did it on purpose and didn't explain it clearly.

His eyes fell on Old Man Xu. "Now it's a new country. Everyone is equal. The country is stable. There will be no more wars. You don't have to hide in this village. Live somewhere else."

"Okay, okay, we're willing to leave."

The old man looked at the people locked up with him and just hoped that this nightmare that had lasted for decades would end soon.

While they were talking, the special forces soldiers had already woken up the people in the basement with the antidote to the drug given by Lu Chaoyan, tied them up, and sent them to the surface.

Lu Chaoyan removed the sleeping pills for those who were trapped underground like the old man, and asked them to follow the special forces members to climb up.

Finally, Pei Huaijin and Luo Yu were brought out.

After taking the antidote and waking up, they were stunned for a long time when they saw the smiling Lu Chaoyan.

"Hurry up and get dressed and go."

Lu Chaoyan's eyebrows moved, and he took out his camera and took several pictures of the two of them.

"Leave a souvenir for your elopement."

Luo Yu's complexion returned to normal, white and tender as butter, but she no longer had the fairy-like aura she once had. Her whole body was weak and dirty from overindulgence.

He looked ferocious, "Lu Chaoyan, how did you find this place?"

"Because God also thinks you deserve to die!"

Lu Chaoyan moved her gaze to Pei Huaijin's face, who was lying on the bed with a look of despair.

"Dean Pei, you keep saying you love Li Mingxiu, but how could you bear to let him sleep on the haystack across from you while you and Luo Yu..."

"Shut up!"

Pei Huaijin growled in a low voice with hatred, "Luo Yu, that bitch, ruined him."

"Okay, I won't say anything more. I'll spare your life to see what's in that cold well."

After saying that, Lu Chaoyan wrapped Pei Huaijin with a long whip and threw him into the cold well.

This scene came unexpectedly, and Luo Yu was so scared that he screamed, "No!"

Lu Chaoyan hung the man on the edge of the well and glared at Luo Yu, "Where are Baili Hui and Gu Sui?"

"They, they..."

Luo Yu was about to blurt out, but he held back, "They're dead!"

Li Qingheng, Baili Yun and Chu Feng had not gone up yet, and they were all very surprised when they heard this.

Didn’t Gu Sui and Baili Hui die a long time ago? Why does Lu Chaoyan always ask about them?

"Luo Yu, it seems that you still don't love Pei Huaijin enough."

Lu Chaoyan's hand trembled, and Pei Huaijin slipped from the vine and fell into the well.

"No, Huaijin, Huaijin!"

Luo Yufei ran over and was about to catch Pei Huaijin when Pei Huaijin was hooked up by Lu Chaoyan's vines again.

Pei Huaijin, whose legs were already weak, was now lying on the ground gasping for breath in fear, unable to say anything.

Luo Yu stopped in time, turned around, helped Pei Huaijin up, and held him in his arms, "Huaijin, are you okay?"

During this period of time, Pei Huaijin has believed that he is Luo Yu, and also believes that Number Nine is the real Li Mingxiu.

However, the horrific burns on No. 9's body gradually dissipated the little bit of emotion in his heart.

Instead, she was tormented by Luo Yu's peculiar massage technique, and she felt like "after going around in circles, I realized that the substitute is my true love."

He looked up at Luo Yu's worried eyes and smiled softly, "I'm fine."

Lu Chaoyan came up to them, looked at the two people looking at each other, suppressed her nausea, and tested Pei Huaijin.

"Pei Huaijin, you keep saying you love Li Mingxiu, why don't you do one thing for him before you die? Tell me where Gu Sui and Baili Hui are so I can avenge Li Mingxiu. If you can get Luo Yu to cure the face-changing Gu, I will cure Li Mingxiu and spare your life, so that you can stay together even if you can't love each other."

Li Qingheng and the other three had already been fed a mouthful of "dog shit" by Pei Huaijin and Luo Yu, and they felt nauseous.

After hearing what Lu Chaoyan said, he was even more upset. How could there be such a daughter-in-law who would let her father-in-law stay with another man?

“Lu Chaoyan, I know you are doing this for Mu Bangning, I won’t be fooled by you.

I don’t care who is in this body, as long as I can see this face every day. "

Pei Huaijin leaned in Luo Yu's arms, raised his hand and stroked Luo Yu's face, so affectionately.

Luo Yu had a happy look on his face, and when he looked up at Lu Chaoyan, his face was filled with pride.

"Gu Sui and Baili Hui are dead, so you can't take revenge."

"That may not be the case. The entire Pei family will be buried with you."

Lu Chaoyan took out a newspaper about the two people's elopement and a notice on the treatment of Pei's family and threw them in Pei Huaijin's face.

"Not only will you two have to pay the price for the crime you committed against my mother-in-law, but I will also continue to demand it from the Pei family until I catch Gu Sui and Baili Hui."

"What did you say?"

Pei Huaijin sat up in shock, picked up the newspaper and the notice, read them quickly, and then trembled with anger.

He looked at Luo Yu coldly, "Who told you to do this?"

Even if he likes men, he can't use this matter to destroy the entire family. Now the Shu family members abroad have returned home in glory. In another ten or twenty years, their Shu family will prosper again.

There are also many people in his Pei family who are abroad and are preparing to come back to show their talents. After this incident, how can they have the face to go home?

Luo Yu took the newspaper and the notice and was also shocked. "I didn't do it. I didn't do it."

He just wanted to be with Pei Huaijin, so why would he seek death by becoming a rat crossing the street and calling for someone to beat him up?

Could it be the mother who did it?

She wants to completely destroy the Li family?

Lu Chaoyan could tell from their eyes that the newspaper matter really had nothing to do with them.

Li Qingheng was equally angry. He snatched the newspaper and trembled with anger.

He couldn't imagine how embarrassed his parents were now.

And the Li family’s in-laws, the Shu family, the Qiao family, the Mu family, the Jing family, Mr. Fang and the Lu family, they must all be ashamed and angry to death.

Baili Yun patted his shoulder comfortingly and asked Lu Chaoyan.

"Aren't Gu Sui and Baili Hui, the people you've been talking about, dead?"

"I should ask you about this topic."

Lu Chaoyan glanced at him with ridicule, and whipped Pei Huaijin and Luo Yu with vines and pushed them up the stairs.

After going upstairs, Si Zhengyan brought Li Qingzhou and others downstairs to move the materials and books.

Li Qingzhou recalled how angry he was when he saw the man in the village being thrown into the river by the men in black that day.

We sent people to search downstream for a long time, but they only found their clothes.

He has been blaming himself until now and he doesn't even think that everything is fake.

When he saw what was in the cold well, he got covered in goosebumps.

After moving all the things and people in the basement upstairs, he, Lu Chaoyan and Si Zhengyan stood beside the cold well to discuss how to deal with the ice worms inside.

He asked Si Zhengyan, "What are you going to do with this harmful thing?"

Although this is a horrifying thing, it has a wonderful ability: it can keep a woman young.

Once people outside know about this, someone will try every means to preserve this cold well.

Only by destroying it can we eliminate the trouble forever.

Si Zhengyan looked at Lu Chaoyan, "Can sulfuric acid kill them?"

Lu Chaoyan has been here for so long that she has quietly taken out pesticides from the space several times and thrown them into the well.

Doesn't work at all.

However, she has not tried sulfuric acid.

She replied: “You can buy it and try it.”

Li Qingzhou said calmly: "I will apply for explosives and blow up the entire valley to prevent future troubles!"

Lu Chaoyan shook her head. "You can't apply for it. Big brother, send a group of people out first, and then go to the nearest arsenal to borrow some explosives. Don't tell them what you are going to do, so as to avoid leaking the news."

Si Zhengyan looked at the two of them and said, "What Chaoyan said makes sense. Let's kill him first and report later."

Once the news of the ice worms in the cold well spreads, some experts will surely come to study them, and they will eventually be destroyed.

Only by doing it quietly can we completely destroy everything here.

"Okay, let's do as you two say."

The three of them checked the entire basement again to make sure nothing was missed before going up.

This time they brought up more than 600 people from the basement.

Including the elderly, the weak, women and children in the village, there are more than a thousand people.

The guarding became a problem.
