Chapter 115 The Human Blood Gu
Xiao Ma quickly grabbed Ye Shaoyang’s backpack .
As Ye Shaoyang vomited, he extended his hand into his backpack, reached out for a needle box, and opened it . The box contained a set of golden needles that varied in size . Ye Shaoyang nipped a needle of moderate thickness and pricked his left wrist thrice in different places . Then, he picked out a finer needle and punctured his left middle finger . He slightly bent his right middle finger and scraped down his left elbow . Black blood flowed out from the pricked holes . After half a minute, the black blood gradually turned bright red .
“Paper… . ”
Xiao Ma quickly passed him a box of tissue paper . Ye Shaoyang wiped his mouth . He laid face up and panted heavily, “Damn! Someone set up a trap for me . ”
“A trap?” Xiao Ma blankly stared at him, “Didn’t you just drink too much?”
“What do you mean drink too much? Something wrong is in the liquor . It contains Gu,” Ye Shaoyang weakly replied . The meal was fishy, as Chen Yu had treated them to a meal out of the blue . He even eagerly asked him to drink the liquor of a hundred flowers . However, he had never suspected Chen Yu’s intentions and did not take any precautions .
“It's impossible . ” Xiao Ma shouted in astonishment, “We drank the same liquor too . Why would we be fine?”
“You're too naive . There is no problem with the liquor . It’s the cup! The liquor of a hundred flowers was used mask the smell of Gu, which prevented me from realizing its presence . ”
Xiao Ma remained stunned for a while . Then, he said, “You're friends, so why would he want to harm you?”
“How would I know! Bring me my phone . ”
Ye Shaoyang wanted to call Zhou Jingru to ask for Tan Xiaohui’s help . She hailed from the supreme witch family . Surely, she had a method to handle the Gu craft . His thoughts followed the same logic as seeking help from the right profession .
Unfortunately, Zhou Jingru had switched off her phone, and Tan Xiaohui had no cellphone . Ye Shaoyang tried to think of someone that could help him reach Zhou Jingru, but he could think of none . He even thought of heading to her company to look for her . However, he would waste time and create problems if she was not at the company .
He managed to temporarily suppress the Gu just now . But it would wake up like a person would after fainting . If it woke up and attacked him again, he did not think he could suppress it once more . After much consideration, he called Old Guo .
After the line connected, Ye Shaoyang immediately said, “Senior brother, prepare some items for me, boil them into pills and send them to me as soon as possible . ” He took a short breath and continued, “Eight catty of soybean, three catty of red dates, five catty of bean dregs, some plant soot, and copper coin powder . ”
Old Guo was experienced and very knowledgeable . Once he heard the list that Ye Shaoyang mentioned, he immediately realized the problem . He paused for a moment and asked, “Someone got poisoned by a Gu?”
“It’s me . Don't ask and quickly send me the pills . ”
After Ye Shaoyang hung up the phone, he laid down to rest . Xiao Ma did not dare to disturb him, so he worriedly waited aside . Old Guo arrived after half an hour . Anxiety burned inside him . He rushed into the bedroom . He felt puzzled when he saw Ye Shaoyang’s sallow face . Greenish black Qi had condensed between his eyebrows . Old Guo directly checked Ye Shaoyang’s pulse . He shouted in fright, “This is bad! It really is Gu!”
Old Guo immediately lifted Ye Shaoyang’s eyelids . A thin layer of white cocoon-like membrane covered his eyeballs . Old Guo’s heart sank; he quickly opened Ye Shaoyang’s mouth . Ye Shaoyang’s tongue had turned black and a pale yellow line ran through the middle .
“The golden Gu!” Old Guo heavily frowned and looked at the weak Ye Shaoyang . He worriedly said, “One of the three strongest Gu in the Miaojiang Gu craft . We're in big trouble now . ”
These words stunned Xiao Ma . He muttered, “Little Ye has the blood of a Heavenly Master, will he still get hurt?”
“He is only alive because of his Heavenly Master’s blood, which temporarily restrained the Gu . A normal person would have already died! Human cultivated Gu are more poisonous than any demon venom or corpse poison . ”
After Old Guo said these words, he took out a quail egg-sized green pill from his bag; a pungent smell dispersed through the air . Then, he passed it to Ye Shaoyang .
“I refined this pill a short while ago with all the ingredients that you previously mentioned . But this pill can only temporarily suppress the Gu . I think the Maoshan Eighteenth Acupuncture Technique is the only way to eradicate the Gu, but I don’t know how to perform it,” Old Guo said in embarrassment, “Junior brother, you certainly know this technique . But you can’t reach some of the acupoints . ”
Ye Shaoyang replied, “This is easy . I can teach you and guide you on this matter . ”
Old Guo hesitated and scratched his head, “This goes against our Maoshan rules . Junior brother, you know that I’m an outer disciple, and the Maoshan Eighteenth Acupuncture Technique is the medical skill of inner disciples… . ”
Before Old Guo could finish his sentence, Ye Shaoyang jitteringly waved his hand, “Forget about the rules . I’ll be the master of Maoshan Sect soon . My order will be the rules . If you’re still hesitating, I’ll die . If that happens, Qing Yunzi will surely kill you!”
Old Guo wiped away his sweat . Of course, his junior brother’s life held more importance than the rules . He instantly nodded, “Junior brother, tell me what to do . ”
Ye Shaoyang began to explain the concepts of the Maoshan Eighteenth Acupuncture Technique . Old Guo already possessed the basic Maoshan medical skills . After he listened to Ye Shaoyang, he tried to figure it out and understood most of the technique . With Ye Shaoyang’s guidance, Old Guo felt somewhat confident now . Xiao Ma carried Ye Shaoyang to the living room and placed him in a free area . Then, Xiao Ma helped him undress and sit cross-legged . Ye Shaoyang swallowed the pill, passed the needle box to Old Guo, and gestured for him to start the treatment .
"The first needle, moderate thickness, Baihui acupoint . " Old Guo picked up the golden needle the size that Ye Shaoyang mentioned . He inserted the needle into the top of Ye Shaoyang's head . Black, viscous blood slowly oozed out .
“Secondly, thin needle three, Renzhong acupoint . Thirdly, thick needle two, Taiyang acupoint . . . ”
Ye Shaoyang guided Old Guo to pierce the golden needles of various sizes into different acupoints on his back . Then, Old Guo burned some talisman papers, mixed them with water, and poured the mixture onto each acupoint in order . This procedure helped the mixture permeate into his body better . With the aid of the mixture, Ye Shaoyang circulated his Gang Qi and gathered it toward the location of the Gu; he tried to fight against it .
Ye Shaoyang could feel a worm-sized living being struggle and twist somewhere inside his stomach . It continuously spurted Gu venom, which stimulated his internal organs to the point where he writhed in pain . Black blood continuously oozed out from the acupoints, which soaked Ye Shaoyang in blood . He now resembled a bloodied person, which created a scary scene . Xiao Ma nervously watched from the side . He felt too nervous; he did not even dare to breathe too hard . When Old Guo inserted the last needle, Ye Shaoyang vigorously trembled . He let loose a heartrending cry, as his weak body fell backward . Old Guo instantly supported him to prevent the needles from stabbing deeper into his flesh .
“Quick! Help me carry him!” Old Guo instructed Xiao Ma . They carried him into the bathroom, one person on each side of Ye Shaoyang . Old Guo helped Ye Shaoyang sit on the floor while Xiao Ma turned on the shower . Xiao Ma cleaned up the blood from Ye Shaoyang’s body with warm water . After they cleaned him up, Old Guo carefully removed the golden needles and placed them back into the box . Then, they carried him to the bed .
After ten minutes, Ye Shaoyang gradually woke up . He opened his eyes, which had returned to normal—the white layer in his eyes had disappeared .
“How do you feel?” Old Guo and Xiao Ma asked at the same time .
“The Gu has died . ” Ye Shaoyang said as he frowned, “But I can sense something else in my body . It came out when I dissolved the Gu . I don’t know what it is… . ”
Ye Shaoyang's phone rang . Xiao Ma picked up the phone, “Zhou Jingru is calling you . ”josei
Ye Shaoyang picked up the call . Through the phone call, Zhou Jingru asked, “I was in the cinema with Xiaohui, so I switched off my phone . Is there anything you need me for?”
Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes, “I nearly died when you were in the cinema . Anyways, I’m fine now . ”
Ye Shaoyang’s words shocked Zhou Jingru; she asked, “What happened to you?”
“Pass the phone to Tan Xiaohui . ”
Ye Shaoyang recounted the whole incident to Tan Xiaohui, told her what he felt, and asked her if she had any ideas . After she heard his explanation Tan Xiaohui could not help but exclaim, “It is a human blood Gu!”
