GBP Chapter 298 Lingjue Temple
Chapter 298 Lingjue Temple
Although Shen Bei had never come into contact with Gu worms, he had heard about them from his teacher, which is why his complexion was not very good.
Anyone who has worms inside their body, especially worms that can control their life and death, probably wouldn't have an easy time.
"What? Gu worms? Aren't these things just made up in novels?"
The bald man looked surprised. "He's not well-educated, so don't try to fool him. Aren't all those things fake?"
I've seen this in novels and TV dramas a lot. Now you're telling him he already has it in his belly?
"I didn't know that before, and I just listened to it as a story, but the situation we are in now can no longer be explained by science."
Duan Hong was the organizer of our trip, and I suspect that besides us, others also show signs of being infected by a curse.
At this point, Shen Bei seemed to have figured something out.
"No wonder that monster didn't attack us." Shen Bei said this very quietly, so much so that even the bald man next to him didn't hear him.
"Shen Bei, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing, let's rejoin the main force first and then think of a solution." Shen Bei didn't have any good ideas at the moment; the only thing he could think of was to control Duan Hong.
Perhaps he knows how to remove the curse from them.
They headed up the mountain and soon met up with the main group coming down.
"Hey, leader, you're finally back! Come down the mountain with us quickly. There are some scary wild animals on the mountain, and some of us are injured."
"If it weren't for Brother Yan, we probably wouldn't have been able to get down the mountain."
"Yes, that monster just now actually had so many tentacles, it was practically a monster!"
"After we get down the mountain, we'll tell Uncle Hat. This is a new breed; maybe we who found it will even get a reward."
After their initial fear subsided, some people started thinking about the first monsters they discovered and wondered how much buzz it would generate. They were getting quite excited as they spoke.
"Brother Yan is still the best. He chopped the monster into dust in just a few strikes."
What the group said surprised Duan Hong.
He knew how powerful that Gu worm was; even he wouldn't be a match for it if he didn't have the means to control it.
I never expected this guy named Lao Yan to be so amazing.
Moreover, three people here were not infected by the Gu, and Lao Yan was one of them.
If what they say is true, then this guy called Lao Yan must be a martial artist.
Damn it, today's operation really didn't go smoothly.
They originally thought they would only attract ordinary people, but they didn't expect to attract martial artists as well.
However, he took a closer look at Lao Yan and noticed that he needed help to walk, so he might take his life unexpectedly.
"Someone is injured? Let's go down the mountain first."
As he spoke, Duan Hong decided to go down the mountain with them.
His reaction seemed normal to everyone else, but it was not normal to Baldy and Shen Bei.
Why did Duan Hong take out the small drum when dealing with them, but not when dealing with other people?
Could it be that there's someone here who can't control the small drum?
Shen Bei quickly figured it out, and his attention was focused on Duan Hong.
Duan Hong moved to a position behind Lao Yan and the others, waiting for the right opportunity to make his move against Lao Yan.
Shen Bei quickly guessed what he was thinking and shouted, "Be careful!"
Upon hearing the sound, Lao Yan's martial arts instincts kicked in again. Although he was injured, he was still a master of the innate realm.
Duan Hong's strength can only be described as average, so how could he be a match for Lao Yan?
Just as he was about to make a move, Lao Yan struck Duan Hong with a palm strike first.
Duan Hong was sent flying, spitting out a lot of blood.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
Don't know what happened.
I don't know why Lao Yan would suddenly attack the team leader.
"You dare to ambush me? You're asking for death."
Old Yan, remembering how Duan Hong had almost succeeded in ambushing him, wished he could kill him.
But before they could do anything, Shen Bei stopped them.
"No, we can't kill him now."
Old Yan recognized the voice; it was the person who had just reminded him. Remembering the person's warning, he gave him face and didn't make a move, only asking in confusion.
Why can't we kill him?
"He planted a curse in our bodies, and we must have him remove it."
Shen Bei then recounted everything that had just happened.
"Shen Bei, are you telling a story? What kind of witchcraft is this?"
Even if we really do have worms, we can just take some deworming medicine when we get back. Is it really as mysterious as you're making it out to be?"
"Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you." Shen Bei said, picking up the small drum that Duan Hong had just dropped on the ground.
He then tapped the drum.
His tap was like pouring water into hot oil; instantly, many people clutched their stomachs and cried out in pain.
Shen Bei and the bald man, on the other hand, only showed signs of pain on their faces.
Perhaps it was because the frequency of the drumming was wrong, but they felt that the pain they felt just now was less than one-tenth of what it was when Duan Hong was drumming.
This also proves that what Shen Bei and the others said was indeed true.
"What are you guys doing? Do you really have a stomachache? I don't feel anything." Linlin looked puzzled as she saw everyone around her clutching their stomachs.
Of the remaining people, only Lao Yan and Qi Ge were alright.
"No, it's true." Old Yan answered Linlin's question with a heavy expression.
"Then why don't I feel any pain? Brother Qi is fine too."
"That's because I went in in time yesterday."
While I was sleeping last night, I felt something crawling into my mouth. If I hadn't been alert and noticed it in time, I might have been poisoned.
"You and Qi-ge, it's probably because I entered your room in time that you were unharmed."
"It seems that the hotel we're staying at also has some problems."
Lao Yan immediately understood what was wrong yesterday; it turned out that these insects were all Gu worms.
Lao Yan walked directly in front of Duan Hong.
"You're from the Duan family? Let me tell you, I'm a lay disciple of Lingjue Temple. How dare your Duan family scheme against me?"
Believe it or not, if our Lingjue Temple intervenes, your Duan family will cease to exist.
Upon hearing the name Lingjue Temple, Duan Hongming's expression turned terrified, and he immediately explained:
"I didn't know you were from Lingjue Temple. What happened before was a complete misunderstanding."
"Alright, let's pretend this never happened. I'll let you leave."
"Hmph, you think you can just send me away like this after I got injured here? No way."
Seeing Duan Hong's fear, Lao Yan had no intention of letting him off so easily.
Logically, since he was injured, he should have kept a low profile and left first.
But he knew the strength of Lingjue Temple, and he figured no one would dare kill him, a lay disciple of Lingjue Temple.
You must know that Lingjue Temple is extremely protective of its own. If something happens to him and Lingjue Temple finds out, the Duan family will only face extermination.
Anyone who opposes Lingjue Temple is a heretic or evil person.
