step on mountains and rivers

As soon as Li Zhenwu finished speaking, he saw Jiang Ling and Lu Qing walking towards him not far away.

Jiang Ling and Lu Qing searched around, but found nothing unusual. They wanted to get closer to the city gate, but they saw Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu in the forest, so they walked quickly towards them. Come.

Walking closer, Jiang Ling glanced at the child beside Li Zhenwu and asked him:

"Brother Li, who is this kid?"

Li Zhenwu narrated the matter once, Jiang Ling nodded clearly, glanced at the minced meat not far away, then looked back and said:

"There is such a weird thing."

After listening to Li Zhenwu's words, Lu Qing frowned slightly and said:

"Are Gu worms parasitic?"

"Well, this thing is very difficult to kill with ordinary methods. It needs to completely destroy the host's ability to move before it loses its threat. In addition, the purple-black bugs in the host's body also need to be careful, they will sneak attack and parasitize when people are not prepared." Tang Qingfeng Road.

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, Lu Qing nodded slightly.

While everyone was talking, Wu Xing'er and Lan Mo, who were patrolling on the other side, saw that they hadn't found it, so they wanted to come to the city gate to check the situation.The two heard movement here, so they rushed towards this side quickly.

The two came to the front, and seeing Tang Qingfeng and the four of them were there, they stepped forward.

Wu Xing'er glanced at the broken corpse in the distance, and asked Tang Qingfeng:

"what happened?"

"Longevity Gu." Tang Qingfeng said briefly describing what happened.

Wu Xing'er heard Tang Qingfeng talking about longevity Gu, so she quickly ran towards the broken corpse with Lan Mo.Seeing this, everyone quickly followed.

Before the few people came to the corpse, Tang Qingfeng saw that the corpse disappeared, looked at the dirty blood suspiciously and said:

"strangeness."

Wu Xing'er noticed that there were traces of worms wriggling in the blood, and was about to squat down to check the situation, but saw dozens of slender black shadows rushing out of the meat mass, rushing towards her.

Seeing this, Lan Mo immediately pulled Wu Xing'er away, quickly took out the porcelain bottle from his waist and waved it, a thick vermilion mist flew out, and dozens of black shadows that hit the swiftly hit the mist and instantly turned into Bloody water, scattered on the ground.

Wu Xing'er looked at the blood on the ground and said with lingering fear:

"It's not dead yet."

Lan Mo listened to Wu Xing'er's words, thought for a while and said:

"This kind of bug is somewhat similar to the earth dragon. It can be reborn after a broken body. It can only be killed by destroying their body instantly."

"Yeah." Wu Xing'er nodded in agreement,

Tang Qingfeng looked at what was happening in front of him, and after thinking for a moment, he said slowly:

"This Gu worm seems to have wisdom."

"??? What wisdom do worms have?" Hearing what Tang Qingfeng said, Jiang Ling looked at him puzzled and asked.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Tang Qingfeng explained:

"When I cut them off just now, they pretended to be dead in front of me, and then secretly hid in the broken corpse, waiting for the opportunity to sneak up on someone."

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, Jiang Ling said with a surprised expression:

"This, this is too treacherous."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Qing felt a little worried and said:

"This bug is extremely weird, we need to be more careful."

Everyone nodded and fell silent.

Li Zhenwu saw that everyone was silent, so he said:

"Let's go back to the village with Qilang first, maybe the people in the village will know something about Longevity Gu and Takeda Castle."

"Okay." After they finished speaking, they followed Shichiro and walked down Takeda Castle Mountain.

Not long after the crowd left, they saw a village hidden by the forest creek.

Tsuchiro looked at the village not far away and said:

"That's Takeda Village."

After Tsuchiro finished speaking, he took a few people and walked quickly towards the village.

After passing through the trail in the forest, they came to the village beside the small river.

The village is very small, with only a dozen families.The houses in the village are all built with a mixture of rocks and fine wood, which is very simple.It was close to noon at this time, but the village was empty, and no one could be seen.

Tsuchiro glanced at the village, and then took everyone back to his home.

In Jin Qilang's house, an old woman with gray hair and a sickly look was mending clothes under the dim window.

Seeing his mother working again, Tsuchiro stepped forward to stop him:

"Auntie, how many times have I told you not to work when you are sick."

"Okay." Seeing Jin Qilang coming, the old woman put down the needle and thread in her hand, coughed twice, looked at Qilang and asked:

"Shichiro, who are these guests?"

Tsuchiro listened to his mother's question, and replied:

"Mother, they are Master Onmyoji from Da Zhou."

After hearing what Tsuchiro said, the old woman looked at the people in the room in surprise.

Lu Qing saw that the old woman's complexion was gray and haggard, so she frowned slightly and said:

"This old lady seems to be seriously ill."

"Well, Qilang said the same thing. He went to Takeda City to find medicine for his mother." Li Zhenwu replied.

Lu Qing understood, then walked towards the old woman and said softly:

"I'm a pharmacist from Dazhou, let me take a look at your illness."

After Lu Qing finished speaking, the old woman looked at the beautiful young man in front of her, and slowly stretched out her hand.Lu Qing took her pulse, her pulse was beating very slowly, Lu Qing checked all parts of her body, the condition of her whole body was very bad.

After Lu Qing checked, he slowly retracted his arm.Seeing that Lu Qing looked calm and said nothing, Jin Qilang asked:

"Master Pharmacist, can my mother's illness be cured?"

Seeing that Qilang was worried, Lu Qing looked at him calmly and said, "It's okay, it can be cured."

"Really?!!" Hearing what Lu Qing said, Jin Qilang's eyes instantly shone with joy.

"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded, then looked at Tsuchiro and asked:

"Qilang, what do you and your mother eat on weekdays?"

After hearing Lu Qing's words, Jin Qilang thought for a while and said:

"The river fish eat the most, and occasionally eat some wild rabbits in the mountains."

"River fish?" Lu Qing pondered.

"My lord, what's wrong with the river fish?" Tsuchiro asked puzzled.

"It's nothing." Lu Qing returned, and then said to Jin Qilang, "Extend your hand and let me have a look."

After Lu Qing finished speaking, Jin Qilang stretched out his hand, Lu Qing checked his pulse, looked at his eyeballs and tongue coating, put his hand down and said in peace:

"Qilang, don't eat the fish in the river in the future."

"Why?" Shiro asked puzzled.

"Fish is poisonous." Lu Qing replied.

After hearing this, Tsuchiro looked at Lu Qing in shock.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Li Zhenwu looked at Lu Qing and asked:

"Brother Lu, what's going on?"

Seeing Li Zhenwu's inquiry, everyone also looked at Lu Qing suspiciously, waiting for his answer.

Lu Qing looked at the crowd and said:

"Qilang's mother's pulse condition is weak, her eyes are bloodshot, her complexion is black, her tongue coating is purple, and she is weak and weak. It is a chronic poisoning disease. Qilang's tongue coating is also slightly black, but he is in a strong body, and most of the toxins have been dissolved by the body so that he does not get sick."

Everyone understood, Tang Qingfeng looked at Jin Qilang after thinking for a while and asked:

"Shichiro, where is the upper reaches of the river?"

"It's the Temple of the Gods." Tsuchiro replied.

"Where is the Temple of God?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

Seeing that Tang Qingfeng was puzzled, the old woman slowly said:

"Master Onmyoji, the Temple of the Gods is the palace dedicated to the God of Snow Mountain in Takeda Castle."

"God of Snow Mountain?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"Yeah." The old woman nodded slightly, and then explained:

"The God of the Snow Mountain is the god in charge of the water source on the Takeda Snow Mountain. They use their divine power to melt the snow water from the Snow Mountain. The melted snow water gathers in the river pond in front of the Shinmin Temple, and then divides into several tributaries, which flow out of Takeda City and nourish the land of Takeda. sentient beings. The river in our village is one of the branches."

"Well, what happened to the herb?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"There is a magical herb at the bottom of the river pond in the Temple of the Gods, which can cure various ailments. We usually go to Takeda Castle to seek medicinal herbs for healing when we have some injuries. Because of the frequent wars recently, Takeda Castle can't enter, my The disease will get worse and worse, Shichiro also took the risk to go to Takeda Castle because he was worried about me."

After finishing speaking, the old woman looked at everyone and asked:

"I don't know what the Onmyoji masters are doing in Wutian Castle?"

After hearing the old woman's words, Tang Qingfeng saw her asking, so he looked at her and asked:

"Old man, do you know about the monster in Takeda Castle?"

"You, how do you know?" Hearing what Tang Qingfeng said, the old woman looked at him in shock and asked.

"We rescued Qilang from the monster." Tang Qingfeng said calmly.

"Yes, that's the case." The old woman looked at Tang Qingfeng a little at a loss, and then sighed softly:

"The monster's is Genichiro-sama's experiment.

Mr. Xianichiro was originally a kind person, but in order to protect Takeda, he went on the road of no return.

In recent years, there have been frequent turmoil in Yingzhou, and the empress has sent troops to encircle and suppress daimyo, including Takeda Castle.In order to resist the Queen's attack, Lord Xianichiro fought back many times, resulting in countless casualties.Seeing that the Empress is getting stronger and the Takeda Castle is getting weaker and weaker, he knows that there is no way to recover, so he chooses a road of desperation.

He chooses to team up with that evil man in his quest for immortality.They arrested people everywhere for experiments, and those monsters were the victims of their undead experiments.

He just wanted to seek the powerful power of the immortal body, and use it to resist the queen's aggression and protect Takeda.Sad young master, he didn't know that the evil man just used him as a tester to seek the way of eternal life. "

After hearing what the old woman said, Tang Qingfeng saw that she knew Takeda Genichiro so well, so he asked:

"Old man, who are you?"

Listening to his inquiry, the old woman glanced at him and said slowly:

"The old lady's name is Tsumisa, and her husband was Tsu Hideyoshi, a close minister of the Takeda family. My husband died in battle a year ago, and I left Takeda Castle with my children."

"So that's the case." Tang Qingfeng said clearly.

The old woman nodded, then looked at Tang Qingfeng and asked:

"What do you want to do in Takeda Castle?"

"Kill the monster." Tang Qingfeng glanced at the old woman and replied calmly.

Listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, the old woman opened her eyes wide in shock, unable to speak.It took her a while to recover, and she lowered her head and whispered:

"Kill monsters? Young master, my poor young master, why did you embark on this road of no return."

Everyone was silent when they heard the old woman's murmur.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the old woman and said:

"The choice he made was his own destiny. We came here with our own destiny. It's just that it is extremely undesirable to choose heresy to protect the country. His actions will not protect Takeda, and will only make Takeda fall. the abyss."

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, the old woman stared blankly at the young man with cold eyes in front of her, but she didn't know what kind of suffering he had gone through to understand so thoroughly.

She looked at Tang Qingfeng, thought about his words seriously, and then slowly said as if she had decided on something:

"My lord, you go. These years, the young master is too tired. The Wutian city is declining day by day, but the queen is getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, she will unify Yingzhou sooner or later. This Wutian city, the young master can't hold it no matter what. of."

After seeing Tang Qingfeng, the old woman did not answer her words, but fell into silence.

So he continued:

"My lord, Genichiro-sama has successfully fused with the long-lived worms to become an insect controller. It is not so easy for you to kill him."

"Bug controller?" Tang Qingfeng asked.
