Taoist priest, let’s become immortals together!

Do you know me?

The already ugly faces of the rat heads were squeezed together, and the originally arrogant eyes were full of doubts. They stared at Chen Yuan and the other two, and asked in a longing tone, eager to know who he was.

"You can't remember who you are, so do you know how you got to this tomb?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I…"

I don't remember either.

The main character knows nothing about anything.

"Then how do you know that you are using Taoist magical powers and not... the art of poisoning insects?" Chen Yuan stared seriously into the confused eyes of the rat head, questioning with increasing emphasis word by word.

"Needless to say, I don't even know myself..." Before he could finish, the rat-head froze, its wriggling black flesh swaying as it muttered to itself in confusion, "Yeah, I don't even know who I am, how could I possibly know what I'm using?" Then, looking at the Xuanyuan Taoist priest, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Taoist... am I really using the Gu worm's corrosive mucus?"

Taoist Xuanyuan didn't take it lightly. He realized that something was wrong with the rat head. He stared at its eyes with his cloudy eyes and said solemnly, "I guarantee... this is the mucus of the Gu worm used in the practice of Gu Shu. I grew up in Cangshan Dao and was influenced by it... There's no way I could be wrong."

"If you don't believe..."

"If you wriggle your entire body out of the ground, everything will become clear."

"I understand."

Click click click.

The ground continued to expand and bulge, and beneath the rubble of the tomb, the huge, long, and thick strip of meat, along with an entire boulder underneath, was pulled out of the ground.

The full view of the rat head.

Finally it caught the eyes of the three people.

The surface of the dark, greasy strip of meat beneath the ground was covered with pieces of gravel, which grew together with the flesh and blood vessels, connecting to the four sides of the tomb. The root of the strip of meat... grew on a huge rock. The whole rock seemed to have life, rising and falling like a beating heart.

"The living stone is his heart?"

Chen Yuan frowned deeply.

Even though he had seen countless evil spirits.

But the rat head was clearly not an evil creature, but it looked even stranger than an evil creature. The only thing that could remind him of it was... the so-called strange creatures that the Qiwu Sect had used living people to refine in the past.

"This is..." Taoist Xuanyuan frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Gu within Gu!"

Gu in the Gu?

The rat head asked, "What did you say?"

"It turned out to be a case of Gu within Gu. This kind of vicious Gu technique appeared in Cangshan Dao, and the Suppression Bureau was completely unaware of it." Taoist Xuanyuan looked at Chen Yuan and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, we... seem to be in big trouble."

"What is a Gu-infected Gu?"

"Gu within Gu, which involves raising Gu worms in the body of a Gu worm, is considered the most vicious Gu-refining technique in the art of Gu." Taoist Xuanyuan took a deep breath and continued, "In the art of Gu, people raise Gu worms from a young age. One of the taboos of Gu is this Gu within Gu."

"Every person who feeds the Gu worms will have their internal organs ripped out alive to feed the worms, and then their brains will be gradually eaten away by the worms... eventually, they will become a Gu-in-Gu."

"Amnesia, is this also the cause?"

"Yes."

It was not the confusion of the soul caused by contact with the space where the strange thunder liquid was located, but the poisonous insects in the body biting the brain, causing him endless pain until his brain was eaten empty and he became a walking corpse.

"But he's still conscious?"

“It’s not accomplished.”

"Is there any hope?"

"Yes, but I can't. I'm afraid that only the elders of the Hundred Thousand Mountains Gu Shu School may have a way to make his consciousness eat the Gu worm and restore his original appearance."

The three of them looked at each other speechlessly.

It's too difficult.

And who is this person?

Don't rescue them rashly.

perhaps…

Only by finding the Suppression Office can we understand the truth.

"This stone?" Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he cast his gaze on the huge stone connected to the rat's human head and fleshy body. The huge stone in his eyes was throbbing vigorously, which really surprised Chen Yuan. "Is it also a Gu worm?"

"If my guess is correct, this huge rock is the second Gu worm, and also the natal Gu of the Gu within the Gu."

"Does that mean...if my natal Gu dies, he'll die too?"

"I do not know."

With the insight of Taoist Xuanyuan.

Although he knows a lot of information about witchcraft.

But it's still not enough.

"Can we take him away?" Chen Yuan asked.

This person who was refined into a Gu within a Gu obviously hides a huge secret about the art of Gu and the Cangshan Dao, which may be related to the lives of the people of the entire Cangshan Dao. In addition, he has to ask Tiangang No. 9 for help. If he takes this person to help the Zhenshen Division, he thinks the chance of getting help will be greater.

"I can't leave."

The rat head spoke first.

"Even though I don't know who I am, I must stay here. Otherwise... a huge change will occur, and the consequences of that change... will be unimaginable."

The boulder jumped violently, the rat-headed face became more and more hideous, and the whole sturdy insect body twitched and squirmed as if it was ravaged by lightning, and trembled all over. The originally huge body shrank rapidly as if it had lost its air, and in the blink of an eye it shrank into a strange insect as thick as an arm.

But that boulder.

Still huge, like a hill.

The rat head grew on the rough surface of the boulder, like a tiny caterpillar, and it could not be seen at all from a distance.

Subsequently.

An extremely strong and sinister aura of suppression.

It spreads out like ripples on the water.

"It's freezing cold, this insect is so evil, what on earth is this insect within the insect suppressing?!" Chen Yuan's soul moved slightly. The source of evil is extremely sensitive to evil things. Although the two energies are different, they belong to the same dark force. If you look into their origins... they may be related.

The spirit spread to the bottom of the tomb.

Keep exploring deeper and deeper.

He would like to see it.

What on earth is being suppressed here?

Why did the Rat Head say that taking him away would lead to an unimaginable crisis? Why was such a dangerous creature suppressed by a Gu within a Gu? Did the Suppression Bureau acquiesce to this? Or was it completely unaware?

"Hurry! He's coming out!"

The rat head screamed in horror.

Drink it.

The huge deep pit squirmed and cracked like a tide, the ground was torn apart, and hideous cracks were torn across the earth. What made the three people's scalps numb was that from the depths of the dense cracks, countless strange poisonous insects gushed out like a tide. Each of the poisonous insects was different and rushed towards the three people frantically.

"Good boy! We've poked the insect nest!"

"Want to stop me from exploring the depths of the tomb?" Chen Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he took out the Vajra Pestle with his hand. With a wave of his hand, the Vajra Pestle made a dull sound, and then the two origins in his body leaped up, and the black and silver thunders entangled and intertwined, instantly condensing into a thunder whip of judgment.

"Judgment."

stab.

The thunder whip raged, spreading for hundreds of meters.

Countless poisonous insects that emerged were instantly turned into ashes.

But the poisonous insects that followed were different from the swarm of insects that only knew how to attack with their bodies. The poisonous insects were extremely disciplined and began to move quickly around the deep pit tomb in a strange direction.

Suddenly.

It actually formed a strange balance.

It seems like an array formation.

"Ten Thousand Gu Formation!"
