"What she got was not poison, but poison."
Lu Ling didn't seem to worry that Qu Wuming would regret it, so he first took out a jade box that was about an inch square from the storage ring.
Gently pushing open the lid of the jade box, a pink insect lay quietly inside.
I saw that the insect was chubby, fleshy, pink and tender, and its entire body was sealed in a mass of transparent gelatinous liquid, motionless.
"This is the mother insect of Forgetting Love Gu." Lu Ling explained, "I heard from the matchmaker that the reason why Lin Manlu refused the marriage proposal from the City Lord's Mansion was because she had already been engaged to a senior brother who was her childhood sweetheart, but the marriage was never consummated. . Later, Zhen Cai asked someone to inquire about the information and found out that it was because the internal skills and mental methods they learned were special and they could not break the boy's body until they reached the eighth level of Tianxuan realm. This has been delayed until now. "
"I learned that Lin Manlu had a very good relationship with her senior brother who was ten years older than her. I was worried that Zhen Cai would not win the heart of the other person even if she got someone, so I gave her the Forgetful Love Gu. After this Gu enters the body, it only takes 774 Nineteen days will make his/her latest relationship become indifferent, like a passerby.”
Lu Ling couldn't see Qu Wuming's frowning expression hidden in his cloak, and said to himself: "This poison does no harm to the human body, and it is also very easy to cure."
As he spoke, Lu Ling raised a finger and tapped the pink insect in the jade box. The insect suddenly struggled in the jade box for a moment and turned into a pool of blood with a pop.
"The mother insect is dead, and its poison will be released on its own." Lu Ling covered the jade box and put it back into the storage ring. Then he made a seal with both hands and suddenly raised his left thumb and pressed it hard on his heart. His expression also became very painful, and even the big tendons in his neck swelled due to pain and exertion.
Lu Ling pressed his thumb firmly on his body, slowly moved it from his chest to his shoulder, and then pushed it along his arm to the palm of his right hand.
Qu Wuming could see at a glance that there seemed to be something crawling on his middle finger, crawling towards the fingertip.
puff.
Lu Ling's middle finger was pierced by the thing. It turned out to be a black strange insect.
The insect was only half an inch long, with a smooth body and a back covered with shrimp-like scales. But unlike shrimps, the insect's abdomen was covered with pairs of slender legs, dozens of pairs each. If the legs were stretched left and right, they would be many inches long!
Lu Ling breathed heavily, as if he had spent a lot of mana to force the insect out, and said: "This insect is called the Life Soul Gu. It can affect the life soul of the person who has been poisoned, making it hazy and confused. Finally, he fell into a deep coma. It seemed serious, but in fact, as long as he was relieved within eighty-one days, there would be no fear of life. To cast the poison, you only need to pull off one leg of the female insect and grind it into powder. After that, if it is put into people's food, it will take effect twelve hours later. If you need to remove the poison, it is very simple. You only need to pull off the other leg that is paired with it, use the essence and blood as a cauldron, and burn it. After boiling, burn it together with the essence and blood, and the poison will be released by itself."
"You said this Life Soul Gu won't put your life in danger, but when I saw Lin Manlu, she was already as emaciated as a stick and almost died!" Qu Wuming suddenly said coldly.
"Huh? It shouldn't be! This Life Soul Gu is a kind of cultivation treasure in our Sky Poison Sect, and this has never happened before!" Lu Ling said solemnly, "The Life Soul Gu is where the soul is tied. The foundation of life. Our Sky Poison Sect has always used life soul Gu to stimulate the life soul potential of entry-level disciples. We call it 'nourishing the soul' - every disciple must go through the process of 'nourishing the soul' with life soul Gu after entering the school. , all those who have experienced soul nourishing will have a greatly increased potential for growth in their spiritual power in the future. It is said that if they can experience soul nourishing ninety-nine and eighty-one times, their life soul will undergo a qualitative change! Of course, I have not had it for a long time. I have seen people who can withstand eighty-one times of soul nourishment, but most people can only withstand eight or nine times, or at most a dozen times. Any more and there is a possibility of confusion and madness."
"But! But!" Lu Ling said so much in one breath, and seemed to suddenly realize that he did not explain the problem Qingqu Wuming said. He emphasized seriously, "Although Life Soul Gu can make people fall into coma and cannot eat, but It itself contains a large amount of the essence of heaven and earth. For an ordinary person, even if it is just such a thin leg, let alone three or five days without eating or drinking, it would be three to five months without eating or drinking. It won't make people lose half a pound of flesh! The situation you mentioned has nothing to do with my life soul Gu, unless...unless there is something special in her life soul. It swallowed up the energy that was supposed to be supplied to her in the Life Soul Gu!"
Seeing that Lu Ling's expression didn't seem to be fake, and that Qu Wuming had indeed heard about the Soul Gu, he stopped worrying about the problem and just said: "Then please get rid of the Gu as soon as possible!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Lu Ling put the Gu insect in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a moment. With a thought, he gently pulled out the remaining leg from the position where only one leg was left.
The Life Soul Gu squeaked in pain, and Lu Ling hurriedly put it next to the corner of her eye with concern. The life soul Gu moved its legs together, opened Lu Ling's eyelids, went straight in, and disappeared in a short time.
Qu Wuming felt uncomfortable looking across from him, and he had goosebumps all over his body under his robe.
Lu Ling, however, acted as if nothing was wrong, and respectfully handed the slender insect leg to Qu Wuming through the air, saying, "Fellow Taoist, you only need to wrap it up with enough essence and blood, heat it together, and wait until it is semened." Once the blood boils, just burn it to ashes."
"Yes." Qu Wuming took the insect's leg and raised his hand. The storage ring that was pulled out when Lu Ling was unconscious flew back into Lu Ling's hand. However, the storage ring contained in it was not equal to that of several others. The material ring had been taken away by Qu Wuming a long time ago, leaving only those things that probably belonged to Lu Ling. "In this case, we will meet again in the future! Elder Lu, please!" With that, Qu Wuming made an invitation to the door. posture.
"Thank you for your mercy, fellow Taoist! See you later! Haha..." Lu Ling was a bachelor, so he bowed his hand to Qu Wuming, and suddenly turned into a ray of light and flew out of the cave, and flew away without looking back.
A light flashed between Qu Wuming's eyebrows, and he had put the slender insect legs into the Zifu space.
A small ball of essence and blood appeared out of thin air in the Zifu space, wrapping the insect leg. Qu Wuming didn't waste any more time, and with a thought, a ball of flame transformed into the Zifu space.
The ball of essence and blood soon began to boil under the burning flames. Seeing this, Qu Wuming hurriedly continued to increase the firepower. He saw that the ball of blood essence gradually became smaller under the burning of the flames, and soon it was boiling with the contents inside. The insect legs all turned into blue smoke and disappeared...
At this time, Qu Wuming had already flown out of the cave, took out a shuttle, and after identifying the direction, headed straight for Chang'an City.
————
A few days later, Qu Wuming finally returned to Chang'an City. As soon as he turned around the street, he saw the entrance of Fuwei Escort Bureau decorated with lights and colorful decorations. A pair of red lanterns were hung high. Even the stone lions at the door were covered with red lanterns. Wrapped with red ribbon.
"It seems that Lin Wanqing has woken up! Fuwei Escorts must be celebrating!" Seeing this, Qu Wuming couldn't help but quicken his pace. Thinking that he would see Lin Wanqing after a long absence soon, his heart skipped a beat. Gotta get up quickly.
When Qu Wuming stepped through the door of Fuwei Escort Agency and walked around the screen wall at the door, he couldn't help but froze.
The spacious courtyard is now filled with wine tables, and the tables are full of guests, changing glasses, and it’s so lively!
"This..." Qu Wuming muttered in his heart, "Isn't this celebration a bit too much?"
"It's Senior Qu! Senior Qu, you are finally back!" The 17 or 18-year-old young man that Qu Wuming had met before saw Qu Wuming from a distance and hurriedly came up to him with a wine glass.
"Are you having a wedding? Is your brother getting married?" Qu Wuming asked in confusion.
"Senior Hui Qu, it's my sister Man Lu." The young man said with a smile, "Senior Qu doesn't know something, but my sister has been engaged to her senior brother Lu Mao for a long time. After she woke up a few days ago, it happened that her master I brought Brother Lu here to visit. I heard that my sister had just recovered from a strange illness, so her master suggested that she and Brother Lu get married as soon as possible. My father wanted to wait for you a few more days, but..."
"But her master is a grand master, and my father really didn't dare to offend her, so he had no choice but to agree." The young man suddenly leaned into Qu Wuming's ear and said, "But luckily you came back in time, and now they are about to worship. Well, Senior Qu, come in with me and watch the ceremony..."
The young man said a lot, but Qu Wuming didn't seem to hear anything.
The last thing I heard was the sentence "It's my sister Manlu". The words that followed seemed to buzz in my mind, and together with the cheers and the sound of glasses and cups being pushed by the guests around me, they all turned into a noise. noise.
Passing through the noisy wine tables and swaying figures, Qu Wuming's eyes finally fell on the woman in red in the decorated front hall.
In Qu Wuming's eyes, no one else existed at this moment.
Lin Manlu's graceful figure was looming in a fiery red wedding dress, just like the dashing and heroic woman in that time.
A thin piece of red gauze covered her head, covering up his pretty face that had haunted her for many years.
Lin Manlu, who was supposed to perform the ritual of worshiping heaven and earth with the senior brother across from her, suddenly felt something in her heart at this moment, as if something among the guests in the hall was touching her soul, calling her.
Ever since she put on the square red hijab, Lin Manlu had always been shy, happy and nervous, even though the red hijab covered her blushing cheeks.
But at this moment, Lin Manlu suddenly felt a little flustered, as if she had done something wrong, and was uneasy.
The pretty face under the hijab also became a little uneasy for no reason.
Lin Manlu stopped her movements and suddenly turned her head to look among the guests.
It was just a thin layer of red gauze that could not block Qu Wuming's sight, nor could it block Lin Manlu's gaze.
The two people's eyes met together through a layer of red gauze.
Confusion, confusion and doubts all came to Lin Manlu's mind. Why did the man standing alone among the guests in the distance feel so familiar yet strange?
That rough face has obviously never been seen before, but it still feels so familiar.
And in that sense of familiarity, it makes people feel a little heartache.
Lin Manlu suddenly felt the urge to cry.
"Who is he?" Lin Manlu frowned slightly and muttered to herself.
"Who is he?" The handsome man wearing the bridegroom's red robe already had a trace of displeasure on his face. He followed Lin Manlu's gaze and saw Qu Wuming, but he pretended to ask calmly.
"I don't know him, but I seem to have seen him somewhere." Lin Manlu replied blankly, but her eyes never left Qu Wuming.
"Don't you think his height, body shape, and even appearance are somewhat similar to mine?" The groom suddenly puffed up his chest and took a step forward to approach Lin Manlu, regardless of whether this move was in line with wedding etiquette, as if it was a demonstration. He hugged her shoulders, looked at Qu Wuming with a sneer on his lips, and said, "If I were more than ten years older and grew a beard, I might be 70-80% similar to him."
"It seems so... no wonder she looks so familiar." Lin Manlu's shoulders hurt a little from his embrace, and she suddenly felt strange to this senior brother who had always been close to her, but she still continued to be hugged by him obediently.
"However, I feel that I am still much more handsome than him. Maybe he is just a down-and-out uncle who comes here to drink. Look at his dusty face and vicissitudes of life, he looks like a dog." The groom, Lu Mao, said with a chuckle. , "Man Lu, let's continue with the wedding. The master and father-in-law are still waiting."
"Yes." Lin Manlu raised her head and looked at Senior Brother Lu Mao, the man who was about to become her husband. His face was full of tenderness, and his smile bloomed gently, like a ray of sunshine...
Watching Lin Manlu's every move, Qu Wuming's heart sank.
After more than three hundred years, she finally came back as promised.
However, she doesn’t remember me either…
