He exerted a little force, and the copper bell, which already looked a little rotten, suddenly shattered, and then a dark shadow fell to the ground.

It was a black worm that kept twisting its body.

This black insect was about two fingers wide and three fingers long. It had no eyes or nose, only an ugly mouth.

Its tail is embedded in the copper bell, and there are some gold threads growing on its body, which can be said to be integrated with the copper bell.

After falling to the ground, the black insect opened its ugly mouth towards Gu Jiu, revealing a few yellow teeth, as if it was roaring at Gu Jiu.

It turns out that the reason why the copper bell rings is because the insect twists its body and hits the inner wall of the copper bell.

Gu Jiu had never seen such a strange species, and neither had Su Ying.

After all, it doesn't make sense for copper bells and insects to grow together.

With Gu Jiu's modern thinking, it is easy to associate it with some kind of perverted scientific experiment.

This thing is very likely man-made.

With this, Gu Jiu looked at the corpses floating in the water like tumblers and thought of a possibility.

He walked over, picked up a corpse at random, and then snapped the head off.

Almost at the same time, a sharp roar suddenly rang out.

Gu Jiu was startled and threw the body away.

With a snap, the corpse fell to the ground, and a fat black worm emerged from the broken neck, looking exactly like the one in the copper bell.

This insect is almost the same as the one in the copper bell, but it is much larger, about the size of a bowl, like a snake.

Obviously, the reason why these corpses stand in the water is because there are these strange worms in their bodies.

The worm inside the corpse was obviously much more aggressive than the one in the copper bell. It kept struggling to get out of the neck of the corpse, causing black blood clots to fall to the ground.

Gu Jiu felt that he might not want to eat blood sausage this year.

Seeing that the worm had already crawled halfway out, Gu Jiuxu flicked his finger and a green sword energy rolled out, instantly shredding the fat worm into pieces.

At this time, Su Ying came over and said, "Xiao Jiu, let's go first. I'm a little scared looking at these things."

Gu Jiu said, "Xiao Yingying, are you afraid of ghosts or insects?"

"Ghost, bug?" Su Ying nodded, then shook her head, looking a little confused.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu continued, "Don't worry, auntie, this isn't the work of ghosts, it must be human."

"Man-made?" Su Ying frowned.

The next moment, Gu Jiu's body shook again, and with a bang, he reached his hand into the tree again.

The last time he took out the bronze bell from the tree, this time it was a corpse.

A yellow, waxy corpse.

This was also a woman's body, lying beside this damp pond. It should have been badly decomposed, but she was not.

She must have been dead for a long time, and the water in her body evaporated so that she looked like a yellow monkey.

From the tattered clothes on the corpse, it can be seen that the person was a cultivator in his lifetime.

A layer of frost formed on Gu Jiu's hands at this time, and he quickly began to feel around the corpse.

Su Ying trembled and asked, "Xiao Jiu, could there be that kind of bug in her body?"

Gu Jiu touched the tree and said, "I don't know. I think she planted these insects for the nuns and Taoist nuns. As for whether she would plant them for herself, that depends on whether she is a pervert."

At this time, Gu Jiu had already pried open the corpse's mouth and looked inside.

Why do you say that they twist the mouths of corpses? Isn't it that they learned it from those tomb-raiding novels?

Gu Jiu remembered that in tomb-robbing novels, there were usually good things in the mouths of corpses.

He felt around and found nothing on the other person's body, so he could only turn his gaze to the other person's mouth.

Gu Jiu looked carefully and found that there was really something in the other person's mouth.

So he put his finger into the other person's mouth, and when he was about to pick out a ball-shaped object inside, the female corpse's mouth closed with a click.

And she opened her eyes.

Su Ying screamed in fright, while Gu Jiu looked at the other person with cold sweat on his head.

Because what he saw were a pair of God's eyes?

Chapter 25 A Clever Way

Gu Jiu's eyes met with the sallow corpse, and his heart beat a little faster.

It was not only because his two fingers were bitten by the other party, but also because of the other party's eyes.

These are not the eyes that humans should have. Rather than being God's eyes, they are more like those of an immortal.

In many records, human eyes and the eyes of gods are different.

Most gods have double pupils, such as the legendary Emperor Shun.

The pupils of immortals are described in another way, that is, square pupils.

The Laozi Zhongjing, a book written in the You Dynasty before the Tang Dynasty, records: "A person of one hundred years old has yellow hair, a person of two hundred years old has raised cheekbones, a person of three hundred years old has ears of all things, a person of four hundred years old has a face with vertical lines, and a person of five hundred years old has square pupils."

It records the changes that occur when a mortal becomes an immortal.

Later, eyes with square pupils gradually became the representative characteristics of immortals in people's minds.

If a person's pupils are square, it means that he has lived for at least five hundred years and has already escaped the category of earthly immortals.

There are many rumors about Fang Tong throughout the Tang Dynasty, but it is difficult to verify because even many saints can only live to about four hundred years old.

There is no record of anyone who achieved square pupils at the age of over 500 in official historical documents.

As for the most legendary story of Lu Zu, who ascended to heaven in broad daylight, he was only over two hundred years old at the time.

In other words, there is no human being over 450 years old in official historical records.

There are very few cases of so-called square pupils and double pupils, and few people have seen them.

But the corpse in front of him was Fang Tong, with yellow pupils and square eyes. He did not look like a human and was a little weird.

What's even more bizarre is that she was clearly dead, but at this moment she opened her eyes and bit Gu Jiu's finger.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but cough and said, "Cousin, I won't use your gag anymore. Can you please stop biting me? It hurts a little."

Yes, it hurts a little.

The teeth of this corpse were obviously not ordinary things. Not only did they directly break the thin frost on Gu Jiu's fingers, but they could even tear a little of the innate sword body that could be said to be made of steel and iron, causing Gu Jiu to feel a little pain.

You have to know that under normal circumstances, even the magical weapons and sharp blades of those sects could not make Gu Jiu have this feeling.

The yellow monkey-like corpse did not let go and continued to stare at Gu Jiu.

Maybe it was psychological suggestion or some other reason, but Gu Jiu was still a little afraid of these eyes.

After all, this is the square pupil that only immortals have in the legend, but how could the immortal die here?

It was not until Gu Jiu released the sphere with his fingers that the corpse slightly opened its mouth, then slowly closed its eyes and passed away peacefully again.

Gu Jiu took this opportunity to take his finger out of the other person's mouth and found two shallow tooth marks on it.

Gu Jiu had to admit that tomb robbing was a high-risk profession. If an ordinary person tried to take the ball, it would be bitten off even if they were wearing iron gloves.

It was obvious that the corpse didn't want him to take the ball, but Gu Jiu was not someone who would back down easily.

Although he is lazy, once he becomes curious about something, he will not let it go easily.

He had to find a more clever way to get the ball out.

So, Gu Jiu grabbed the corpse, rotated the Qi in his right hand, and then punched the other person in the mouth.

There was a loud bang. The teeth of this corpse were extremely strong, but the gums were not.

As a result, her entire gums along with her teeth flew out, and her entire mouth became a big hole.

Gu Jiu stretched out his hand and the ball was taken out. The corpse opened its eyes again, but this time it could only stare blankly.

Just like an old woman who has lost all her teeth, she is powerless even if she wants to gnaw on a bone.

I have to admit that Gu Jiu's way of getting the ball is really "clever".

Gu Jiu looked at the dark red sphere in his hand and felt that it was stained with a layer of blood.

Even though he rinsed it with water several times, the red layer that seemed to have seeped in could not be washed off.

But soon, Gu Jiu was attracted by the row of words above.

"In the ninety-third year of Xuan, Lu Ning stole a Panhua flower and was exiled to the mortal world, never to be allowed to enter the Yingxian Gate."

After seeing these words, Gu Jiu was secretly shocked. Is this guy really a ball of shit?

Is this guy really a god?

Is there really a fairyland in this world?

If what this glass ball said was correct, this waxy yellow corpse should be an immortal who made a mistake, was exiled to the human world, and died here.

After discovering that the corpse was still staring at him with those strange eyes, Gu Jiu couldn't help but sigh: "You have been to heaven after all, why are you so petty? You are already dead, what's the point of this thing?"

After saying this, Gu Jiu threw the glass ball to the ground and crushed it with a snap.

The immortal who "witnessed" all this had his eyes bulging out and his body began to twitch wildly as if he was having epilepsy.

Before long, she stopped moving.

This time she did not pass away peacefully, with her eyes wide open, it could be said that she died with her eyes open.

Gu Jiu raised his foot and looked at the glass ball that was crushed by him and splashed a lot of black water, thinking about something.

Su Ying was stunned by Gu Jiu's actions.

So until now, Su Ying is still only wearing that outer robe, and when the wind blows, it is naturally a moving scene.

When Su Ying found that Gu Jiu was looking at her chest, she lowered her head, screamed, and immediately picked up the clothes on the ground and ran away.

……

Soon, the bodies of all the nuns were piled together, and Gu Jiu shot out a sword fire from his finger, setting them all on fire.

The sword fire touched the moist sebum and immediately burned fiercely.

During the burning process, those terrible strange insects naturally let out bursts of shrill screams, and the corpses kept swinging, making them look like living people being burned by fire.

Only after all the corpses were burned did Su Ying breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Jiu’s series of actions before had scared her half to death.

But it can be seen that Gu Jiu performed with ease from beginning to end, but it was still too risky for Su Ying.

For example, putting your finger in someone's mouth and getting bitten feels like a child's prank.

But fortunately, the problem is solved now.

However, they no longer had the appetite to drink the clean water they had previously filled.

The carriage rumbled on and continued on its way. Su Ying drove while speaking to Gu Jiu in the carriage behind her: "Xiao Jiu, who was that person just now? Why was he still biting people even though he was dead? And he also had the eyes of the legendary immortal."

Gu Jiu explained: "If the words on the bead are true, then the person just now is really an immortal."

"But you..."

"It's just killing an immortal." Gu Jiu said lightly.

After hearing these words, Su Ying was secretly shocked.

Can immortals be killed?

"This guy should be practicing some kind of martial arts, but the method of implanting insects into the human body is so disgusting, she deserves to die. If I guess correctly, her soul should be in the bead that I stepped on, and it just happened to be destroyed by me. Hey, there really is a way to transfer souls in this world." Gu Jiu said, and he felt that this world seemed really interesting.

Chapter 26 Don't Pity Me

Fetching water in the village was just a small episode in their journey, but it allowed Gu Jiu to learn a lot of information.

If what is written on the glass ball is true, does that mean that there really is a fairyland in this world?

Gu Jiu and Su Ying walked and stopped, and finally arrived at Yunyin Pass at dusk three days later.
