Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 838 Summoning Gu

In fact, everyone believes that Lu Beimo is still alive.

If Prince Ruomo were gone, the Khitans would surely use his corpse to attack the Northern Cavalry.

But they didn't.

No, the only explanation is that even they couldn't kill or capture Lu Beimo.

So, Lu Beimo should be safe for the time being.

But he never came back.

What exactly is it that has trapped him?

"I need to go north to find the person who put the curse on Xiao He and bring him back to remove it," Huo Qing said finally.

Tuoba Liuli became anxious: "Third Aunt, since it's possible to use the Gu poison, why not use this method to save Brother Chu?"

If we look for someone now, let alone whether we can find them, even if we do, how can we get them to willingly remove the curse from Brother Chu?

Furthermore, even the King of Ink couldn't return after going in; what if they went too...?

Tuoba Liuli didn't want to think about things in the worst possible way, for fear that her thoughts might come true.

But she still didn't understand why it was worse to use a completely uncertain method instead of an existing one.

Huo Qing looked at her, hesitant to speak, seemingly somewhat troubled.

"Third Aunt, although I don't understand witchcraft, I've heard that when a person is poisoned by a curse, it will take effect every now and then. Brother Chu, he..."

"If the poison cannot be removed within forty-nine days, he will become a poison person and be controlled by the person who cast the poison forever."

Huo Qing's words left everyone in the tent speechless with shock.

Although I had a feeling that it wouldn't end well, the Gu people... had no consciousness of their own and were completely controlled by the enemy. Perhaps they could never be cured in their lifetime.

What's the point of living in this world then?

Chu Xiaohe's life will be completely ruined!

"The person who used the Gu poison has such a vicious heart!" Miao Yucui clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Tuoba Liuli was startled and immediately came to her senses: "What exactly is the danger of using Gu, Third Aunt? You...you tell me."

"The technique of 'drawing the Gu' involves transferring the Gu worms from one person to another. However, because the Gu worms of the Heart-Eating Gu are very fragile, once they leave their original bodies, they may not be able to survive in another person's body."

"Wouldn't it be better if he died?" Chu said instinctively.

Huo Qing shook her head: "Even if it dies, it will be led to another person's body and die inside that person's body. But once the Gu worm dies, it can never be led out of the body again. It will turn into a deadly poison. At that time, even if the person who cast the Gu is found, he will not be able to cure the poison."

Huo Qing wasn't trying to scare them; in the eyes of those who practiced Gu magic, this method wasn't even considered a method.

For a person of integrity, exchanging one life for another is worthless.

"Li'er, I will find the person who cast the curse, bring him back, and do everything I can to cure Xiao He of the curse."

Huo Qing looked at Tuoba Liuli and shook her head: "Don't even think about using Gu poison. Even if you're willing to sacrifice yourself, I can't allow you to do that."

Tuoba Liuli lowered her head and remained silent.

Miao Yucui comforted her, "Li'er, don't overthink things. Just wait for them to come back. When Xiao He wakes up, the person he wants to see most is you. He absolutely doesn't want anything to happen to you, understand?"

Tuoba Liuli looked at Huo Qing and asked softly, "Third Aunt, in your opinion, how many days are left until the forty-nine-day period?"
