I'll make another move in the air.
This large group of insects was captured by the magic power about half a foot in front of me, and I could observe it at a close distance.
At first glance, it looks a bit like one of those disgusting iron worms. But each one is thinner and longer...
I recalled in my mind some of the types of Gu bugs I knew.
I'm not very familiar with Gu magic. Although as early as six or seven years ago, I accidentally obtained a copy of "Thunder Cave Great Gu Sutra".
At that time, a classmate named Deng Liqian relied on the three-legged cat voodoo secretly learned from her grandmother to bewitch Yao Nan, hoping to poison her into mute and unable to speak!
If I hadn't happened to bump into her, Yao Nan would probably be a poor mute girl now.
Later, after we came to the door, as compensation, Deng Liqian and her grandmother compensated for this "Thunder Cave Great Gu Sutra" - Yao Nan had no use for it, so she gave it to me, and I promised her three things in the future - as long as It does not violate morality and my principles of doing things.
Although it has been several years, Yao Nan has never mentioned this to me.
As for the "Thunder Cave Great Gu Sutra"...
When I first got it, my master took it away. It wasn't until she left that she taught me a little bit and let me read the rest by myself.
To this day, I dare not say that I am particularly familiar with the art of Gu. But I still know a little bit about it.
Of course, it is limited to theoretical knowledge.
I have not tried to capture or create voodoo insects, nor have I practiced the corresponding voodoo techniques. Master also always said that you can bite off more than you can chew. She has taught me enough, and it would not be a good thing to learn anything else too cluttered.
What's more, I always feel that voodoo is mainly about controlling various bugs, which seems a bit disgusting - yes, I haven't really liked bugs since I was a child!
After staring at the black-haired Gu insect in front of me carefully for a while, I remembered.
"This seems to be...the soul-eating perfect manifestation Gu."
That's right!
It should be the Soul Devouring Complete Exhibition Gu.
Then I heard that after Le Jialu died, her soul disappeared and her body was empty. It must have been devoured by these Gu insects.
Liu Xiaolong's voice was full of panic and anger.
"Soul-eating Gu?! Old Fourth, you mean to say that it was these disgusting bugs that ate Lulu's soul and killed her, right?"
I nodded.
"You can say that. However, the main function of the soul-devouring manifestation Gu is not to swallow the souls of living people to make oneself stronger. The key point lies in the two words [complete manifestation] at the end."
"Actually, the ability of this kind of poison is to devour the soul of the poor poisoner and then digest it into a stream of pure energy in the body. Then it is transmitted to the poisoner."
"As for these Soul-Eating Perfection Gus themselves, their abilities are originally one-time use. After being used once, they are considered useless. Therefore, the evil Gu masters who planted the Gu will no longer care about them and let them remain. The body of the person who has been infected by the poison will dissipate automatically in about twenty-four hours."
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad...
Because this means that not only is Le Jialu dead, but her soul has also been digested and smelted. It probably means the same thing as the soul is scattered.
There is no chance to reincarnate in the underworld... It can be regarded as a complete death and disappearing between this world.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Liu Xiaolong clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and trembled all over.
Obviously, although he is just an ordinary person, he has just come into contact with these supernatural things. But he obviously understood the meaning of my words - Le Jialu's soul had been digested and smelted and no longer existed.
"Fourth, how can we find the person who caused the poison?"
I patted his shoulder.
"There's no point in hurrying about this. You have to take your time! Generally speaking, this kind of soul-eating full manifestation Gu is used to collect the souls of special people and convert them into pure energy. It can be seen from this that Jialu's birth date and horoscope are There may be something special about her destiny, do you know her birth date?"
"this……"
Liu Xiaolong shook his head.
"I don't know, I don't understand this either, fourth child."
"Then do you know her specific date of birth? Accurate to the hour."
"I know this!"
"Okay, tell me. I'll calculate Jialu's birth date and fate."
"good."
Liu Xiaolong nodded, and then told me Le Jialu's birth date. I made a rough guess and discovered that she turned out to be a "yin girl"!
What is a Yin woman?
To put it simply, a girl is born in a yin year with a yin month and a yin day!
Their souls are extremely yin, and if refined into mana energy, they will be very pure. Can be used for many things.
It can be seen from this that Le Jialu's death... was probably because she was secretly targeted by an evil cultivator.
I told Liu Xiaolong.
"Jialu is dead. You have to express your condolences. What we can do is to find the evil cultivator who killed her and avenge her!"
Because Le Jialu's parents rushed back to Shanghai from other places, Liu Xiaolong still needed to meet them. The two families are neighbors and have known each other since childhood. They are childhood sweethearts.
Their parents are very supportive of their relationship, and they are just waiting to get married after graduating from college...
I didn't expect that such a regrettable thing would happen when I was just a freshman.
There are also a series of matters regarding Le Jialu's subsequent cremation and burial that require Liu Xiaolong's help. So I told him not to worry about tracking down the murderer behind the scenes. I would do my best to help him investigate.
What's more, Liu Xiaolong is an ordinary person, so there is actually no use in joining.
The two of us had probably discussed some follow-up matters and were ready to walk out of the morgue.
I plan to talk to Wei Kang and He Youde about these matters.
As for Yang Cha, I am fully responsible for this case now, so it can be handled easily.
Before leaving, Liu Xiaolong looked back one last time at Le Jialu's body.
Suddenly he asked me in a calm tone.
"Fourth child, in your circle...is it normal to kill someone?"
I was slightly startled, not expecting him to ask this suddenly.
After careful consideration, he answered cautiously.
"Actually, you can't say that. Upright monks try not to kill people. After all, in modern civilized society, many things are still left to the law. But some evil cultivators still kill people at every turn. After all, the law and Yang It’s hard to catch them.”
"As for the decent monks, firstly, they have many things to do, and secondly, they cannot stare at the evil cultivators every day. They can only avoid the killings and harm caused by the evil cultivators as much as possible. For example, I am in Xiuxing The company was established by the imperial court. It has the responsibility and obligation to deal with these evil cultivators."
Liu Xiaolong said viciously.
"If it's possible... Old Fourth, after you catch the evil cultivator who killed Lulu, can you let me kill him myself? Even if it's a request from a friend. If in your capacity, you still treat us like If ordinary people are truly friends."
I nodded.
"Of course. But, boss, you have to think about it. Killing is a bad thing. Killing... will definitely affect a person's soul and even his luck. Especially as an ordinary person, once you do it, you will be dealt with in the future. It’s hard for me to predict your future changes.”
"It doesn't matter! As long as I can take revenge with my own hands, I won't hesitate to break my body into pieces."
His expression was firm.
