708 Destiny Number 2

the underworld. Do you even need to take action against such a small ghost Don't be silly, it's not a big deal. Just let your little beauty handle it. ~~ If you're bored, why don't we continue our un...Aling is from the Witch King City, familiar with witchcraft and Gu techniques.

He whispered to us that, like raising corpses and ghosts, there are telltale signs in a person who raises insects.

For example, this small courtyard, in the crowded and noisy old streets of the city, being so clean is already unusual.

A-Liang said that raising Gu insects isn't just about having the materials, but also needing corresponding witchcraft. Someone who doesn't understand witchcraft can't raise them at all. And even among the people of Wushi Mountain City, not everyone knows how to raise Gu.

"I thought every household here kept silkworms..." I muttered under my breath.

"How is that possible! Every household has its own livelihood, how could they all raise insects Those who raise insects are basically concentrated in the palace, but our method of raising insects is definitely the most orthodox in the world today. The others have mostly been lost... This family can actually raise golden silkworms, it's amazing..." A Liang lay on the ground in the courtyard and let out a soft breath.

The floor is spotless.

"Some gu are for divination, some are intangible and formless..." Aling tilted his head, as if considering how to explain it in a way we could understand.

Jiang Qiyun added: "Five Ghosts Gather Wealth."

"Right, right, right! That's the kind, using the spiritual energy of insects to achieve certain goals, like smooth sailing, everything going as planned, abundant wealth... Hey, who was talking just now" A-Liang asked.

I glanced at Jiang Qiyun beside me and whispered to A Liang, "You don't need to worry about this. If this place is inhabited by someone who raises insects, could you catch the insect"

Aling nodded. "Otherwise, why would I come here"

Raising golden silkworms is one of the most difficult practices among those who raise gu (venomous insects), as Ah Liang simply explained. It requires around ten kinds of poisons to mutually devour each other, and in the end, there's left a creature that no one knows what species it is.

After that, daily life should be very devoutly served, and feeding absolutely cannot be less. If hungry, it will backlash against the master, and we must also pay attention to details, one of which is "not a speck of dust".

This is the characteristic of the golden silkworm. It can make its master rich and noble, but the master will usually be widowed, lonely, and also need a special place for the golden silkworm to live.

"And one more thing, you have to cry poor to the Golden Silkworm every year," said Ah Liang.

Claiming poverty!

Crying poor because you can't afford to keep your own centipedes

My brother blurted out, “There's such an operation”

"You said this place is all about business! If you don't pretend to be poor, the Golden Silkworm will think it has achieved its goal and demand payment from the homeowner."

"Damn, this is insane. If you're going to get paid, just take it! Give the silkworm a little more cash for a better nest, no problem." My brother complained.

Aling shook his head. "It's not about banknotes. The Golden Silkworm needs food, perhaps various meats, or maybe even humans. It might need a living person to inhabit it, otherwise, it will backlash against the host. So the host can't say things like 'I made money,' or 'I'm rich.'"

Pff…

To raise a gu worm takes so much effort and risks life, what are these people doing

I sized up this incongruous little courtyard amidst the bustling city. I pointed at the ear room next to the main house and said, “If I’m not mistaken, that room is used specifically for raising golden silkworms…”

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me and asked in a cold voice, "Have you seen it"

I stuck my tongue out and said, "When my brother brought fish over, I peeked inside... As soon as we got close to the main house, a chill ran down my spine. I didn't dare go in."

A Liang whispered, "Fortunately you didn't step in. If the owner hadn't invited you, you would have been very likely to be bitten by the golden silkworm if you went in yourself."

My brother rubbed his hands and said, "If I had known the young master was going to bring a bug net, how could I catch them with bare hands now"

Aliang lowered his head to rummage through his bag, saying as he did so, "How could you possibly use a bug net to..."

Click.

The sound of a lock being picked came from outside the door.

We were startled. Mr. Zhao is back

Aling was as quick as lightning, he shot up the wall with a whoosh, and gave my brother a wave. My brother quickly grabbed his hand, and the two of them flew out.

Jiang Qiyun took me from the passage to outside the wall. He raised his hand and cast a circle of light on the wall, and we hurried over to see what was inside.

Boss Zhao is back, and he's accompanied by a woman in red.

I exchanged a glance with my brother, it seemed dad's gossip wasn't wrong after all. Mr. Zhao really does have a woman.

But it's normal for someone who doesn't have a wife to have a girlfriend, it's none of our business.

But that woman seemed to be here for the first time. She followed Mr. Zhao closely, neither fidgeting nor looking around.

Boss Zhao stepped aside and said something to her, making a gesture of invitation, urging her to enter the main house.

To our surprise, the woman didn't step aside but tilted her chin up, signaling Zhao Boss to go first.

"She knew this house raised gu." Jiang Qiyun suddenly spoke.

"Yes, and she should be acquainted with Boss Zhao, knowing he keeps venomous insects. That's why she didn't wander around carelessly, following closely behind Boss Zhao's every step." My brother added.

"Isn't this Zhao Boss's girlfriend" I asked.

My brother shook his head: "Dressing so provocatively at this late hour, you look like a prostitute. You might just be disguised as a woman of the night, perhaps even an accomplice of Boss Zhao."

The woman in the circle of light was dressed extremely alluringly, in a crimson tight-fitting mini skirt and high heels. Her figure was curvaceous and enchanting.

But her demeanor was extremely cautious, her eyes fixed on Boss Zhao without leaving him for a moment.

Aliang said, “This woman must be protecting herself from this man’s poison. The golden silkworm is very agile and sometimes invisible. If you don't pay attention, you'll get poisoned.”

In the picture, Boss Zhao seems to be talking to this woman. The woman shook her head, and Boss Zhao shrugged helplessly.

"What's the way to eavesdrop" My brother looked up at Jiang Qiyun.

The Emperor seems to indulge my brother quite a bit. He immediately summoned a little imp to quietly enter the courtyard. It didn't dare go into the main house, because neither of the two people talking went in. The main house must be a "forbidden zone".

"...That family is a tough nut to crack! What benefit could they possibly have for us!" Boss Zhao hissed in a low voice.

"Even though they are tough to deal with, we have to take action! We've already gotten involved with that family! Xie Chang'an has disappeared, he must have fallen into their trap. If we don't strike first, we will be caught one by one! You think you can continue living this peaceful life Without this natal gu, you wouldn't even have the means to eat and would be lying here waiting to die!" The woman replied coldly.

"You... you speak softly!" Boss Zhao was so anxious he wished he could cover the other person's mouth.

He couldn't bring himself to touch this woman either. After all, they were both venom cultivators, and even among themselves, there was a safe distance.

What is a soulmate Gu I looked at Ah Liang.

Liang Ge'er whispered, "You can understand it as being similar to the level of destiny. A natal Gu is the strongest Gu a Gu master possesses. If it dies, the Gu master is basically useless."

This explanation is straightforward.

Mr. Zhao is a recluse, and I didn't expect him to be working with Xie Chang'an. From their conversation, it seems like they're planning to attack my house —idied the skeleton, muttering in a low voice: "Gentle and wise After accumulating years of Yin Qi and being tricked by the descendant of a traitor, he almost went mad to the point where even I attacke...
