There is a Kongling Mountain on the outskirts of the city. It used to be a famous scenic spot nearby. It has beautiful scenery and picturesque mountains and rivers. People in the city like to go here to relax on their days off.
He Beibei and her mother used to sell some small things at the foot of the mountain and earn some money.
But just a year ago, many snakes, insects and poisonous ants appeared inexplicably on Kongling Mountain, biting people many times and causing poisoning.
After a few months, people no longer dared to come here. In order to make a living, she and her mother had no choice but to work as female workers in a garment factory.
There were more and more snakes and insects in Kongling Mountain, until a few months ago they formed a poisonous barrier covering the entire mountain.
The beautiful mountains and waters of the past no longer exist, and the world has become a sinister and terrifying world of poisonous insects.
During this period, the government also thought of some methods and came to kill them several times.
Under the influence of various pesticides, the poisonous insects not only did not die, but became more excited and reproduced faster and faster.
In recent months, it has spread to cities, with some factories in the suburbs bearing the brunt and being infested with poisonous insects.
He Beibei walked in the gloomy woods. The flowers, plants and trees had long been eroded by the poison barrier, leaving only dead branches. There was deathly silence around him.
She walked towards the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The poisonous insects under the feet were swarming together, densely packed, and the fishy smell was nauseating.
He Beibei seemed not to have seen it. She was filled with hatred and her heart was filled with despair. She stepped on the nest of poisonous insects and heard bursts of exploding sounds.
The poisonous insect was frightened and bit her delicate calf hard, causing blood to drip instantly.
Some small soft-bodied insects burrowed into her body along the wounds and traveled under the skin.
He Beibei was in pain, and his face was twisted into a ball, but he did not stop and continued walking towards the mountains until he came to a mountain stream.
The mountain stream is filled with densely packed poisonous insects, including snakes, centipedes, scorpions, spiders, ants, leeches, and all kinds of poisonous insects that have never been seen before.
They gather into tides, rolling, crawling, twisting, and even devouring each other in mountain streams.
He Beibei stood on the top of the mountain. The rocks under his feet rolled down into the mountain stream and were quickly chewed into pieces by poisonous insects.
If a person falls in, they will be chewed to pieces in an instant.
Seeing this scene, He Beibei finally felt fear and collapsed on the ground, letting the poisonous insects climb on her body.
Jump?
Do not jump?
Two thoughts swirled in He Beibei's mind.
She took out a paper book from her arms. The pages were yellowed, and the left side was tied with thread to form a volume. The text inside was complicated and obscure.
This book was dug out yesterday when she went to the foot of the mountain to bury her mother. It was packed in a wooden box with a book and a pill inside.
Thanks to the advanced technology and advanced civilization of the interstellar age, she used optical brain scanning to translate the words in ancient books.
The two words on the book cover are translated as 'Gu Shu'.
She spent a night studying and found that this book taught the method of practicing Gu, with detailed steps and clear instructions.
She didn't want to believe it, but after she took the fragrant elixir, her wounds bitten by poisonous insects would heal quickly and the poisonous gas would resolve itself.
She wanted to try, this was the only chance to avenge her mother.
Thinking of this, He Beibei's expression became determined. She stood up tremblingly, gritted her teeth, and jumped into the insect nest in the mountain stream.
Countless poisonous insects saw the food delivered to her door, biting her desperately, burrowing into her body and eating her internal organs.
The severe pain pulled her into the bottomless abyss. She could feel her flesh and blood being bitten, and then new flesh and blood was quickly produced, bitten again, and grew again...and the cycle continued endlessly.
She followed the cultivation methods in the book and tried her best to keep the sea of consciousness as clear as possible.
But it hurt too much, endless pain, soul-tearing pain, pulling her gradually into darkness.
She is going to die.
This was the last trace of consciousness before He Beibei fell into coma.
After an unknown amount of time, waves of poisonous insects in the mountain stream got into her body, gnawing at her, killing each other, and expelled from her body as her flesh and blood continued to grow.
Unknowingly, the corpses of poisonous insects were piled up into a hill beneath her, lifting her up.
Her sleeping consciousness was suddenly nourished by a warm current. Like a sweet spring, she grabbed a glimmer of hope and struggled to climb up to a bright place.
What he saw was three heads staring at her together. They were very happy to see her waking up. They seemed to be saying something, but she couldn't hear anything.
"Am I dead?" He Beibei said to herself.
He must be dead. The woman in front of him is so beautiful, the man is so beautiful, and even the child has very beautiful pink and jade hair.
Is it heaven? Someone so good-looking must be an angel.
She burst into tears, tears covering her eyes, and she complained to the angel:
"Why? Some people can live a smooth life without doing anything. I am kind to others, but I have not spared any hardships that I deserve."
Mo Zunyue sighed, took out a spirit-accumulating pill and stuffed it into her mouth. When her eyes gathered together, she spoke.
"There is no reason. The rules are made by the strong. If you don't want to endure hardship, you have to become the strong one."
He Beibei was stunned. She raised her hands. Her skin was delicate and showed no trace of being bitten by poisonous insects.
She closed her eyes and felt it again, she had perfected it.
I don’t know whether to be happy or worried.
She has to stay in a bad world again, but she has mastered the art of Gu and no one can bully her anymore.
He Beibei sat up. When he saw the poisonous insect under him again, he didn't feel disgusted. Instead, he felt more friendly.
Only then did she see clearly that the three of them were squatting on the disk. The disk was suspended above the insect mountain, emitting a simple and strange light.
She knew that the other person might have encountered some adventures like her and knew some cultivation methods.
He Beibei said solemnly, "Thank you so much for saving me just now. I will definitely repay you someday."
She raised her hand, and poisonous insects came from all directions, rolled to her feet, and dragged her out of the mountain stream.
Tong Li felt his scalp numb when he saw this scene. Even Shen Fuwei couldn't help but shudder. He couldn't help but admire this girl. Where did she get the courage to jump into the worm's nest.
Mo Zunyue couldn't help but frown, "Girl, once you become a monk, you must adhere to the principles of a monk. Every wronged person has his own debtor, and the innocent must not be implicated."
Mo Zunyue is not a great saint, and she will not say anything about turning around and becoming a Buddha. Her road to becoming a god back then was achieved through a life-and-death struggle.
In the world of cultivation, you can fight and kill, but you must never attack innocent people.
If someone bullies you, kill them. This is called enlightenment.
If you bully others, they can be killed. This is called punishing evil.
This is the tacit understanding and principle among monks.
He Beibei turned around, showed a smile, and went down the mountain.
"What kind of crooked way is this? Can the skills still be practiced like this?"
Until He Beibei walked away, Tong Li looked at the mountains of poisonous insect corpses below and marveled, this was too scary.
Mo Zunyue controlled the Bagua Pan to fly towards the top of the mountain. "It is a kind of Gu technique. You use your body as an urn and let all kinds of poisonous insects kill each other in the body, eating them here and there. In the end, only one is left, and the shape and color are all different." It changes, looks like a silkworm, and has golden skin, which is the Golden Silkworm Gu. The Golden Silkworm Gu lives in symbiosis with the girl and supports each other. This is the art of Gu."
This process is extremely painful, no less than the eighteen tortures of hell. Those who can endure it do not have an ordinary toughness of mind.
Tong Li seemed to understand, "Is this the evil way written in the novel? It's very unseemly at first glance."
Mo Zunyue looked at him with drooped eyelids. If we were to talk about being immoral, who else could be more immoral than him, a demon cultivator?
She taught carefully, "There are many ways to cultivate immortality. The so-called evil ways are not about skills, but about people. If that girl uses golden silkworm Gu to eliminate evil and promote good, she can also walk on the high road. If we, the so-called upright people, can do it every day If you don’t do human things, you will still be a heretic, and you won’t be able to go far.”
Tong Li nodded thoughtfully.
Mo Zunyue never told him how bad demon cultivation was, she only told him that the way he cultivated was different.
"Since she has embarked on the path of cultivation, why doesn't master accept her as a disciple?" Shen Fuwei said.
Mo Zunyue shook her head, "That girl is too resentful. If she can't let go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any progress in the future. What's more, I don't know much about the art of Gu, so I can't teach her anything."
As they talked, they arrived at the top of Kongling Mountain.
The poison barrier here is weak, and you can still see the skylight. The dead branches stretch out to the sky, adding a bit of terror.
"Be careful, there are others here."
The three of them quietly walked around to the other side, looking for a place with strong spiritual energy.
Mo Zunyue formed a set of sword techniques, and the dense sword intent slashed down, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
Immediately, a space crack opened, and several people were pulled into another space by strong suction.
Shen Fuwei fell to the ground, and the hard stone hurt his back.
"Master." With quick eyes and hands, he quickly grabbed Mo Zunyue who was falling, and hit him with another muffled groan.
Before he could react, Tong Li hit Mo Zunyue with a perfect human-shaped Jenga.
"I'm going to be crushed to death. Why are you two so heavy?" Shen Fuwei gritted his teeth.
Mo Zunyue's face turned dark, "Why don't you say you are weak? How much can Tong Li and I weigh?"
"Am I weak? I'm so powerful..."
While the two were quarreling, Tong Li was confused.
It wasn't until the palm-sized Bagua disc bounced on his head twice that he finally came back to his senses.
He quickly got off Mo Zunyue and looked up to see a group of people next to him looking at the three of them in surprise.
To be precise, he was not sure whether the other party was a human being. He had a gas mask, protective clothing, and weapons and equipment on his back, making him look like a robot.
"It's you!" Someone on the other side exclaimed.
Mo Zunyue suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar. He looked up and saw that he had met an acquaintance!
