Chapter 1595: Chapter 1533: If I Die, He Dies with Me
The so-called unlocking of a Heart-devouring Gu means planting a Heart-devouring Gu in each of the two parties again and then guiding it out when the time arises.
"Let him plant another Gu?" Wufu widened his eyes at Ah Sang, finding it hard to believe what he heard.
"You two are lovers. Plant the Heart-devouring Gu, with the Mother Gu in you, then nourish the Child Gu with your heartâs blood," Ah Sang said slowly. "After one month, stop nourishing it. Use your heartâs blood, mixed with Love Flower and various herbs as a guide, aided by Miao Technique. When the Gu Insect gets extremely hungry from lack of nourishment, it can be guided out using the guide made with heartâs blood."
Wufu asked, "Has this method been tested in Miaojiang?"
"No one has ever attempted to unlock the Heart-devouring Gu. This Gu was created because Auntie Ah Li was betrayed by her lover back then and spent years researching it. She died before she could find a solution. Our solution is derived from the Secret Tome due to similarities with the Love Gu. So, whether it will succeed is uncertain."
"How do you nourish it with heartâs blood? How do you extract the blood? Does it require a knife to the heart?"
Ah Sang smirked, "Thatâs not necessary. Itâs said that the ten fingers are connected to the heart. Blood from the fingertips will suffice, but youâll need to extract a small half-bowl every three days. On the day of Gu Guiding, youâll have to drink a decoction made from Love Flower and then apply the blood to his wound to guide it. If the Gu Insect doesnât emerge, youâll have to keep supplying blood. Very likely, if the Gu Insect doesnât come out, youâll bleed to death."
Wufu pursed her lips, "What if it doesnât come out? Wouldnât there be another Gu?"
Ah Sang replied, "If this method doesnât bring it out, donât worry. As long as you donât betray each other, thereâs no backlash. Moreover, the Child Gu might not survive. With two rival Gu in his body, one of them is bound to die. If both Gu are in his body, just like one mountain canât contain two tigers, the Gu will certainly fight, making his body increasingly weak."
"What kind of ridiculous solution is this? Isnât this a gamble with oneâs life? The chance of success isnât even certain!" Yan Er was the first to jump up.
Ah Sang glanced at him, "Do you think crafting Gu Insects is easy? I believe this Gu must be fed with heartâs blood, connected to the body through blood. He was infected by the blood of Xue Dizi, causing his flesh to rot. The Child Gu found a host in the blood and flesh, allowing it to implant."
"Canât someone else nourish it?" Yuan Ye asked.
Ah Sang sneered, "What does Heart-devouring Gu mean? Itâs only effective when thereâs mutual affection."
Does this mean it has to be Wufu?
Everyone turned to look at Wufu.
The Heart Gu is tyrannical, and how could this solution not be tyrannical?
Even with the Gu Insect implanted, itâs still likely it wonât be unraveled, akin to gambling with oneâs life, with a high probability that both will die.
"Isnât there another method?" Yan Er stared at Ah Sang, "Youâre the Saintess! Canât your Gu Emperor suppress it? Why not plant a Gu Emperor in Ah Jiu, to wear out the Gu Insect?"
Ah Sang chuckled, "This is already the most effective solution weâve developed. The Gu Emperor you mentioned isnât impossible, but do you know how long it took me to cultivate this Gu Emperor? Three years. Can he survive for three years? Besides, what does Emperor mean? Thereâs only one, and only after its death will there be another."
Yan Er was stumped.
Bai Xiaobai said, "If the Gu Emperor isnât feasible, what about your blood?"
Ah Sang replied, "Gu Insects fear the Emperor. My blood would only make them afraid to emerge, burrowing even deeper."
"Letâs go with this method!" Wufu suddenly declared.
"Girl!" Everyone was taken aback.
"This matter mustnât be discussed with Ah Jiu," Wufu looked at Ah Sang and said, "Saintess, when can we plant the Gu? Sooner rather than later?"
"Youâre not afraid of death?" Ah Sang looked at her, "Itâs very likely to fail."
Wufu gazed towards the bedroom where Ah Jiu was and said calmly, "If I die, heâll accompany me in death."
