Soft and cute female mage

Chapter 273 The mission of the first disciple
Holding the dagger, Fang Ling tentatively brushed away the drooping hair on the face of the black-haired monster. He could only vaguely discern a person with sunken eye sockets and high cheekbones. It was difficult to tell whether he was male or female.

"Help me..." The black-haired monster made another sound.The voice was not loud, but it was sharp and dry, not at all like an ordinary human voice, with a dark and bitter ending, which made people's scalp numb and uncomfortable.

"Who are you?" Chang Ting asked.

"I am Li Zong's great disciple...Xu Songzhi."

This answer made everyone present dumbfounded. Isn't Li Zong's disciple Zhou Fang?When did Xu Songzhi come again?And it still looks like a ghost?

The first time Fusheng went down the mountain, he was tricked by a passerby A and went bankrupt and asked for food for half a month. The second time he went down the mountain, he was tricked by Zhou Fang and fell here. Gullible, he cursed at the black-haired monster:

"It's all for that bastard Zhou Fang to lie to me, but now you, a shameless black-haired old monster, dare to lie to me?

Not to mention that Li Zong's nonsense about shutting himself up by himself can't deceive people, but you look so ugly that you don't look like a human or a ghost, which sect can accept such an embarrassing apprentice as a senior disciple? "

After finishing speaking, he wanted to step forward and kick him a few times, Fang Ling quickly grabbed Fu Sheng.

Although there is some truth in Fu Sheng's words, after all, it is not a gentleman's behavior to complain about his appearance to a dying person, even if it is a dying monster, it is somewhat inappropriate.

Chang Ting understood Fang Ling's intention, so he said to Fu Sheng earnestly: "People are divided into good and evil, it is in the heart but not in the form."

"He's not human." Fu Sheng pouted.

"I'm a human, I'm not a monster, I'm really Li Zong's great disciple Xu Songzhi. I was concocted like this..."

He grabbed the long hair on his body and screamed: "This is the mycelium of the Inferi Claw, this is what they planted in my flesh to absorb the essence.

They tied me up with iron chains and put me on the formation to feed the worms and absorb essence... They are not human, they are demons. "

As the black-haired monster spoke, his emotions became more and more agitated, and he reached out and took out a small copper token and slammed it to the ground.

It was a bronze token that had been rubbed very smooth, with Li Zong's cloud coat of arms and the names of Xu Songzhi and his master Li Yuansong meticulously engraved on it.

Chang Ting was about to read it aloud, but Xu Songzhi howled nervously and covered his ears for fear of hearing the name that he wished he could tear down into his belly would have any connection with him.

With this excitement, he saw bright red blood gushing out of the wounds all over his body.As soon as the blood came out, the black hair on the body became active again, and they all probed into the wound.

Chang Ting hastily tapped the sleeping point behind his ear, and only after he calmed down again did he ask:
"who are they?"

"The head of Li Zong - Li Shanxiong!"

The black-haired monster mentioned this man's eyes with resentment and murderous intent.

According to the black-haired monster, he was an ordinary person in a remote town. Because his birth date was exactly the same as Li Shanxiong's, he was accepted as a disciple by exception, and he ate and lived with Li Shanxiong since he was a child.

Parents only think that he has met a nobleman, and he can have a good future without worrying about food and clothing.Even Xu Songzhi himself has always thought this way.

Therefore, since he was a child, he has been grateful for Li Zong's great kindness and virtue, so he studied and practiced very hard, and never dared to slack off.

But practice is about comprehension, and Xu Song's comprehension is not outstanding, no matter how diligent he is, he still can't make a breakthrough.

Although Xu Songzhi was very ashamed of this, the head of Li Zong at that time, Li Shanxiong's father, did not mind this. On the contrary, he was very concerned about whether he was in good health, whether he was sick, and whether he would be in danger when he went out to do business. Or injured.

For Xu Songzhi, who was born in a poor family, meeting such a good person seemed like a blessing from heaven, even if others said that he was the illegitimate son of the head of the family, he would believe it.

So he obeyed them more and more, and he was as loyal to Li Shanxiong as a dog he had raised since childhood. No matter it was right or wrong, he would definitely do what Li Shanxiong and his son told him, no matter it was right or wrong.Until the year when the old leader became terminally ill.

In fact, their Li family has been in poor health since Li Yin, and often began to linger in bed in his early forties. The outside world has always rumored that this is because Li Yin filled the General's Tomb to suppress tens of thousands of resentful spirits and was cursed.

This caused the people throughout Yongling to believe in and love Li Zong more and more. After all, their descendants suffered this disaster because they saved the people of Yongling.

However, in fact, the General's Tomb is real, but the resentful spirit is fake.

How can they protect the people?They deserved this.

Decades ago, Li Yin, the patriarch of Li Zong, took over the mess of General Tomb, thinking that he could win a battle, but he didn't know that this matter was very difficult, and he hesitated for many days but failed to do anything.

Until later, I met an expert from southern Xinjiang. The man was very interested in the general's tomb and volunteered to stay with him to break the situation together.

Under the expert's guidance, Li Yin found out the crux of the problem.

It turns out that there is a flesh-eating worm living in this swamp.

They originally lived deep in the heart of Luoping Mountain, and they really liked the gas produced when the iron ore in the mountain burned. Once they smelled this smell, they were addicted like taking drugs and lost their attack power.

It is said that the general who dug the mine here must have been able to suppress the smell because he has always been committed to iron smelting and forging, so that the valley wafts this smell all the year round.

But then the general was slaughtered and the forge was destroyed, and the whole valley was covered with corpses and blood flowed into rivers.

And the mine in the mountain has already opened the door to the human world from the Demon Realm, and those bloodthirsty bugs crawled out one after another to eat the corpses everywhere in the valley.

Their larvae are transparent and good at nocturnal activities, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find them unless they deliberately observe them.

They inject toxins under the skin of humans or animals, and the flesh will quickly turn into blood for them to suck. When they grow into adults, they will develop wings and a hard dark brown carapace.

They like to burrow into the heads of people or animals to lay eggs and reproduce the next generation.

Therefore, according to the legend, most of the people who died in the general's tomb turned into a pool of blood, and occasionally some of the corpses remained without heads, because they moved all the heads into their nests for laying eggs.

Li Yin and the others took advantage of this and reopened the kiln to suppress all the bloodthirsty insects.

If it is really just suppressing the bugs, it will be regarded as an immeasurable merit and benefit to the people of one side.

But they just used that worm to concoct a kind of Gu worm that is unique in the world, which can suck essence and aura.

They implanted the worm into the human body and then used the worm to absorb the spiritual energy of living people.

But people are not evil spirits after all, unless other people's spiritual energy is voluntarily returned through the power of thought, not only can't be refined, but they will suffer from it.

So they thought of finding someone who had the same birth date as their own, and planted the child-mother Gu at the same time.

The person who was implanted with the female insect was controlled by it to lie in the dark array, with wounds on his body and eggs mixed with the Inferi Claw bacteria.

When those insect eggs hatch, they will be parasitized by the fungus D. nidus, which is both an insect and a fungus like Cordyceps sinensis.Their mycelium slowly grows like hair until it covers the entire cave, absorbing and storing the aura of all living beings thrown into it.

When the time comes, the female worm will control the trapped person to use the return array to transfer all her essence and spiritual power to the person who arranged it.

In this way, pure essence and spiritual power can be absorbed without suffering backlash.
