ould it be from that sister She wants to escape, the only way is to rush out from the intersection we're at, so she sent a paper figure to scout the wayBefore, Mu Yunliang's human skin scarecrow was...This attitude, truly worthy of the Great Shaman King.

I have a favor to ask of him, so I'd better give up on arguing with him about the title "teacher's wife." Anyway, every time we meet, I'll grind it in, and there will always be a day when he gets used to calling me "teacher's wife"!

"We found a corpse, poisoned with venom for decades. Now it's dead, but there are many wormholes on the body. I want you to see." I said.

"Come on, let's go upstairs and talk." His tone was flat, as if he had expected my appearance would mean trouble.

He led us into a large ice cellar deep inside the mountain. I rubbed my arms and whispered, "It's so cold in here..."

"Nonsense, these ice blocks have probably been here for years. Just endure the cold... How did you cultivate to still fear the heat and cold" Mu Wanchen asked.

I purse my lips: “You think enduring wind and rain, oblivious to the heat and cold is easy I've only been cultivating for a short time… Why did I come here”

Mu Wanchen pointed to a large ice block covered with a thin stone slab. He said, "Put the body on it. If it thaws, there will be corpse water flowing out, which could spread corpse poison and gu poison."

"I see, " I followed him inside and saw something dark behind the thick ice. I couldn't help but ask, "What are these"

"They are some special corpses, with important gu worms inside, so they're preserved." Mu Wanchen said calmly.

I'm both amused and exasperated by his nonchalant attitude towards this kind of life. "Witchcraft" sounds intriguing, but learning a bit about it actually makes me feel quite uneasy.

Jiang Qiyun took out the body and pointed at the holes. “Look, what are these differently sized wormholes”

Mu Wanchen inspected it and whispered, "This is a gu mother within the body. When there's no food, it will backlash against the host, causing the host to die. After the host dies, the gu mother generally struggles to break out of the body and bite the corpse to accumulate energy in order to survive until the next time."

"Would the queen mother produce many little worms" I asked.

Mu Wanchen shook his head. "It depends on the specific kind of Gu. Some Gu insects are hermaphroditic, while others need to mate to reproduce."

At the very least, we can be sure that the mother insect crawled out. It's unknown whether it hid in the mountains or inside someone. There was a villager who was bitten at the time, and he is the most likely host.

“I haven't had time to do good deeds lately. If you think someone has been bitten, just bring them here. Don't worry too much, as long as no one gives the insects orders, they usually stay dormant until their host dies or the insect itself dies.” Mu Wanchen said.

After Jiang Qiyun heard this, he told me to go out first. He still had some things to say to Mu Wanchen.

I nodded. It was so cold inside, bad for the body. I wasn't really interested in what they were talking about either.

A young attendant of Mu Wanchen saw me come out and smiled at me: "Guest, is our Wuzhu Wang still inside"

"Yeah." I took a look at this little lackey.

He looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He had fair skin, a pair of phoenix eyes, and an intelligent gaze with a sly smile.

"Hee hee, that's just great. Sir, I have a few things I'd like to ask you about, and I hope you'll be so kind as to help me."

Uh

Mu Wanchen's Wuzhang Mountain City had many residents, and he governed numerous villages along the upper and lower reaches of the Mi River. Outsiders were not welcome here.

I've come here several times, and almost every time I feel wary and hostile stares.

This young man is tall and thin, with a sharp look on his face. I wonder what he wants to talk to me about.

"Respected guest, I heard that you are the wife of the Wuzhang Lord's master, which makes you our elder...I would like to ask you one thing..."

A touch of apprehension crept into my heart, and I took a step back, asking, "What is it What do you have to say"

"That...that..."

He scratched his head, and after a long pause, said: “I want to ask, what is a ‘car’ in the outside world today I heard it runs very fast and needs to be fueled with oil... Can you get me one”

What

Ah, ah!

"How come you all like driving so much" I blurted out.

Even the cute little errand boy is obsessed with my brother's steering wheel, how come this young witch clan member is curious about it too

I spent a moment explaining the basic principles of how a car works to him, and it's not about burning oil!

The little brother looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked, "Can you get me a car to try out I'll trade with you!"

He took out a jade pendant, emerald green, from his collar and said, “This is an heirloom. Would you be willing to trade it for a car”

I took the jade pendant and touched it. My family does this kind of business, this color of water and emerald green is worth at least 100,000 yuan, enough to buy a high-value small car.

But...

I returned the jade pendant to him and smiled wryly: "Getting a car here would be a thousand miles long journey, and these are all mountain roads. There aren't even any gas stations. How could you possibly use it It would be dangerous if you flipped over...and what do you need a car for anyway"

He gave a wicked smile: "You don't need to worry about that. It must be useful, and it's for the Shaman King..."

This guy is so mysterious.

I furrowed my brow and thought for a moment, this wasn't an unreasonable request; there might just be a car here that could come in handy.

"Alright, I'll tell the Grand Shaman to see what he can do about that. As for gasoline... it might only be possible to transport some of it at the meeting."

The young man's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly. "Yes, yes! You are such a kind guest! I knew you wouldn't want my family heirloom!"

I...am I just this easy to bully!

"What's your name" I asked, amused and exasperated.

"My surname is Wen, my name is Ji, you can call me Aling, Xiao Liang, or Liang Ge'er!"

Alright, alright. I'll make sure to settle this score with Mu Wanchen.

Soon, Jiang Qiyun collected the body and walked out of the ice cave. He whispered to me: “Mu Wanchen said that gu worms are immortal. Even if they are forcibly driven away from their host, they can find their host again by smell, unless it's as far apart as the ocean.”

"I thought about Xie Changning, his blood splattered on you before he died. It's hard to say if the gu worms will come looking for you... This pouch of medicine was given by Mu Wanchen. Keep it with you at all times, insects hate the smell."

I took the pouch of medicine and hung it on my chest, nodding slightly. "Is there anything else"

“And he also said that the person who put the insects must still be alive, otherwise the mother worm wouldn't have been so purposeful in running out of the corpse to find a new host. Generally speaking, when someone is poisoned by insects and the one who puts them dies, the insects will be released.”

"Xiao Qiao, you have to be careful of the people around you. Besides your family, there are some unfamiliar people, especially be careful."

I asked in puzzled tones, "But I don't have any enemies..."

Jiang Qiyun smiled and gently stroked my belly: “An upright person commits no sin, but is condemned for possessing something precious… Who made you carry my child.”
