Chapter 510 Emperor Order, Soul Devouring Gu
"You promise first."
Wang Hu said in a deep voice: "If you can save my life, even if I owe you a favor, I will definitely remember it in my heart!"
"OK."
Li Ang smiled heartily: "Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly, what secret do you know."
Wang Hu took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I suspect... the ally of the Gu Master Alliance claims that Yuan Hua is possessed by a demon!"
"What?!"
Li Ang's eyes widened in surprise.
"That's right."
Wang Hu continued: "I am thirty-two years old this year. I have been in the Miaojiang area for more than ten years, and I have seen a lot...
In recent days, I have occasionally met members of the Gu Master Alliance on the street.
Their faces were pale, their eyes were dull, as if their souls were Expanding Aperture, and they completely lost themselves, turning into puppets like walking dead!
Their whereabouts are secretive and erratic, attacking passers-by, stealing, or robbing passers-by as if premeditated.
But...they don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and they don't harm the Common people. They only specialize in martial arts practitioners and traders.
I guess, they are looking for a Gu poison called Soul Eater Pill to deal with martial arts practitioners! "
"It turned out to be like this..."
Li Ang rubbed his nose, and cursed inwardly, the Gu Master Alliance actually extended its tentacles to civilians?
He was about to ask, but suddenly he heard a hasty knock on the door behind him.
Boom, boom, boom—
The knock on the door was urgent, as if eager to open the door.
"please wait for a moment."
Li Ang turned around and came to the door of the shop. Through the cat's eyes, he saw a short and fat man in a gray robe and a bamboo hat.
The short and fat man seemed to be aware of the prying eyes from the cat's eyes, and immediately lowered his head.
Li Ang lowered her peephole and opened the door.
"You are Dr. Li, right?" The short and fat man took off his hat, and a warm smile piled up on his face:
"My lord, Zhao Wende, is a clerk in an antique shop in Jiangzhou City. I came here specially to find Dr. Li today. I want to ask you to help me appreciate a few things."
A wooden box sits on a shelf behind him.
"OK."
Li Ang nodded, motioning for the other party to follow him.
The two came to the stairwell one after the other. Zhao Wende took down the wooden box, opened the lid, and took out a black, shiny copper coin from it.
"Doctor Li, this is the inheritance I collected from a victim. Do you think it is worth it?"
Zhao Wende handed the copper coin to Li Ang and looked at him expectantly.
Dragons and phoenixes are carved on the copper coins, which can be vaguely distinguished as a statue of a god.
Li Ang glanced at the copper coin, frowned and said, "Is this thing left by the tomb robbers?"
"Tomb robber?"
Zhao Wende said in astonishment: "Is this an antique? It's called 'Emperor Order'."
"Emperor Order?"
Li Ang narrowed his eyes and looked up the information carefully.
Tianziling, as the name suggests, represents the emperor.
This emperor's decree should be a token given by a certain king to a certain royal family member in the current dynasty.
Historically, Xiang Yu, the father of Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, was a subject of the Martial Emperor of the Han Dynasty. The so-called "Xiang Clan" was the loyal supporter of the Martial Emperor of the Han Dynasty and served the Han Dynasty for generations.
Later, taking advantage of Xiang Yu's serious illness, Liu Bang led his troops to attack Yanshan and killed Xiang Yu.
When Liu Bang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Xiang family was wiped out, leaving only Xiang Yu's Little Brother Xiangzhuang, who escaped his life by luck because of his young age.
In order to save the life of the big brother, Xiang Ying left Yanshan with the bones of the big brother and fled to the south of the Five Ridges.
Xiang Ying built Tianshi Mansion in Lingnan and adopted countless orphans.
After that, Tianshi Mansion grew gradually, and even set up branches in Jiangnan to cooperate with the government to open hospitals.
Since Tianshi Mansion monopolizes the medical business of treating various diseases, detoxification and healing, it has a good reputation in Jiangnan Province and is respected by all parties, and even the signboard of Tianshi Mansion has been launched.
In recent months, Tianshi Mansion has researched a new type of Gu worm called "Soul Eater Pill", which is specially aimed at those who practice martial arts.
This Gu worm can not only devour the host's essence, life, and blood, but also make the eater lose control and become a machine that only knows how to kill!
"I see."
Li Ang suddenly said: "No wonder the Gu Master Alliance dares to wreak havoc on the outside, it turns out that it has developed a Gu poison that can deal with martial arts practitioners.
However, you mentioned just now that the Soul Eater Pill was refined by Zhang Yuanhua? Could it be that he can refine Gu? "
"This... this actually is not."
Zhao Wende shook his head and sighed: "According to the information I have, although Zhang Yuanhua is a pharmacist, he doesn't know how to refine Gu.
but……"
"Um?"
Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, "But what?"
"It is said that Zhang Yuanhua is a very powerful Gu master, and Mastery Gu insects are raised, and he is good at using Gu.
He has a very high attainment in poison science, and he once refined the "soul-eating Gu" that can take away souls, which is hard to guard against. "
"oh?"
Li Ang asked with a little interest: "Can he still use Soul Seizing Gu?"
"That's natural."
Zhao Wende nodded: "The soul-snatching Gu is a strange insect egg that lives in the head of the host, hatches once every half a month, and hatches again after half a month.
As time goes by, the Gu worms get bigger and bigger, until the host's body can't bear it, it will explode and die, with both body and spirit destroyed! "
"interesting."
Li Ang rubbed his chin, nodded thoughtfully, and immediately asked, "Brother Zhao, what do you want me for?"
"Hehe, I want you to help me catch Zhang Yuanhua."
Zhao Wende said with a smile: "As long as I can capture him, I am willing to pay the reward.
After the matter is completed, except for this emperor's decree, other treasures are at your disposal.
Just please don't reveal my whereabouts, otherwise I may be in trouble..."
"Okay."
Li Ang grinned, showing his white teeth, "Tell me, where is Zhang Yuanhua hiding now?"
"This matter is too complicated."
Zhao Wende scratched his scalp and said awkwardly: "Zhang Yuanhua's body is hidden in a secret cave, and only a few people know the exact location."
"How do you know?" Li Ang raised an eyebrow.
Zhao Wende laughed twice, pointed to the TV cabinet in the corner and said, "This old-fashioned TV was moved from Zhang's warehouse..."
Li Ang immediately understood that Zhao Wende must have borrowed the surveillance video on the TV to investigate Zhang Yuanhua's hiding place.
However, Zhao Wende did not make it clear what exactly he needs to do.
"That's easy."
Li Ang patted his chest, and said with a bold smile: "It's just a Gu Master alliance, let me handle it!"
Zhao Wende showed joy when he heard this.
Li Ang stood up, flexed his muscles, and said, "What time is it?"
"Three o'clock in the afternoon." Zhao Wende replied: "There are still four hours before the dinner, Mr. Li, let me accompany you to the dinner."
Li Ang nodded, and walked out of the hotel with Zhao Wende.
...
Tianshi Mansion is located in the depths of the mountains and forests in the suburbs of Lingnan City, occupying half a hill, with a grand scale and well-proportioned buildings.
