Chapter 238 Extract the Awakened Gu

They walked at a quick pace, as they chit-chatted .

Along the way down the hill, they met up with Wang Ting and a group of police, walking toward them . After a short chat, Wang Ting told them she was leading the police to bring the black witches out since the police cars could not enter the mountain road .

“Won't you feel tired?” Xiao Ma asked as he panted heavily .

“Nope . Previously, I didn't contribute much in killing the undead king, and it is nothing for me to walk this distance . Besides, we will soon reach the location in another three to five miles . ”

“Thank you so much,” said Xie Yuqing, as she patted Wang Ting’s head happily, “I will try applying for them to award you ‘The Great Residence’ certificate . ”

Ye Shaoyang’s rolled his eyes, “Alas, your certificate has no motivational power at all . Nobody cares . ”

However, Wang Ting smiled and replied, “Nope . I am pleased to receive the honor . ”

After some small talk, they parted ways and walked in opposite directions .

After a turn, Ye Shaoyang and the others arrived at a platform parked with a few police vans and some police standing guard nearby . Xie Yuqing requested a van, and she became the driver and drove Ye Shaoyang and the others to the town .

The van bounced all the way back because of the bumpy mountain road, making Ye Shaoyang feel as though his organs would jolt into pieces . Anyway, riding a vehicle was much better than walking out on the mountain road, so Ye Shaoyang gritted his teeth and tried to suppress the motion sickness . After a long journey, the van finally drove out of the mountain area and entered the highway . In another twenty minutes, the van arrived at a small town and stopped in front of a motel .

Although the motel was small, Ye Shaoyang had a feeling that he had finally come back to earth when he saw the buildings and lighting around him .

He took a shower once he settled down in his room . After that, he changed into a new set of pajamas . He did nothing else and directly went to bed .

He slept soundly until the next morning when he heard someone knocking on his room door . It was Xiao Ma carrying packs of breakfast, “The motel does not provide breakfast, so I went out and bought some for us . ”

Ye Shaoyang gestured for him to enter the room . After he got prepared, both of them sat on the bed and enjoyed their meals . While eating, Xiao Ma texted the others to come over for their breakfast .

The pancake, bread-sticks, and spicy food bought from the small town were quite delicious . Ye Shaoyang ate two sets, as he realized Xiao Ma had bought quite a lot .

While they were chatting, a thought came to Ye Shaoyang’s mind, and he quickly changed the topic, “When we were fighting with the undead king, Tan Xiaohui blocked it with the threads of the arctic silkworm . For some reason, she begged me not to look back . I remember that you were facing her; did you see something strange?”

“No . no . I don’t know . ” Xiao Ma stuffed himself with a meat bun as he simply replied, but a weird expression flashed across his eyes .

Ye Shaoyang dove into a moment of deep contemplation, as he thought of Tan Xiaohui’s weird actions recently . Just when he was about to voice his curiosity, Tan Xiaohui pushed open his room door . She was dressed in a loose t-shirt and a skirt, looking lazy . However, her face looked paler than usual . Ye Shaoyang thought that she had not fully recovered from her injury, so he did not ask any further .

“First news of the day, Yue Heng left . ”

“What? When?” Ye Shaoyang was startled .

“Half an hour ago . He came to my room, telling me that he recalled a place that might help him to find his memories . Then, he left . ”

“Anything else?” asked Ye Shaoyang .

“He said you saved his life . He will come back and find you regardless of his memories . ”

Ye Shaoyang felt a little relieved with the answer he heard, it indicated that he still had some kind thoughts . He probably won’t do anything terrible .

Tan Xiaohui continued, “I don’t know your address, so I gave him Zhou Jingru’s address and contact number . ”

Ye Shaoyang nodded slowly in approval of her attentiveness . Yue Heng had lost his memories; he might not be familiar with a cell phone . Leaving the address for him was the right choice . Then, Ye Shaoyang wondered whether Yue Heng had money on him, as he looked muddle-headed . Would that fellow starve to death on the streets?

“Secondly, Big Brother Shaoyang, your antidote,” said Tan Xiaohui as she opened up her palm in front of Ye Shaoyang . Staring and looking carefully at her palm, he saw a vermilion, snow globe-sized pill with a smooth and gleaming surface .

“This pill is made from Jin Shuai’s blood?”

Tan Xiaohui nodded, “Yup, I refined it with his blood and some potions . Big Brother Shaoyang, take it now and circulate your energy by a minor cycle to release the drug effect . Then, guide the drug according to the sequence of Eight Extraordinary Meridians to eradicate the Gu, and return the energy within the drug to your heart . The awakened Gu will come out by itself . ”

Holding the antidote in his palm and thinking that it was made up of the pimple Jin’s blood, Ye Shaoyang had some tough time swallowing the pill . However, he had no choice . For the sake of his life, he held back his feelings, sat on his bed in the position of his breathing technique, opened his mouth, and swallowed the pill quickly .

Once the pill entered his stomach, he felt a gush of burning sensation . Without further delay, he released the drug effect with his Gang Qi and guided it into the Ren meridian .

In a split second, he felt an unusual Qi in his meridian flow toward the drug effect automatically . He was quite sure that this unusual Qi was the human blood Gu . Probably the Gu had a particular affection toward Jin Shuai’s blood, so it would stick to his blood at once .

Soon, the Gu in the Ren meridian had been cleared off . Then, Ye Shaoyang continued to guide the drug effect into the Du meridian, and next… .

Without knowing the time, Ye Shaoyang focused entirely on guiding the drug along his eight extraordinary meridians, and lastly, his heart . When the drug reached his heart, he suddenly felt something alive fighting against the drug . Is it the awakened Gu? Ye Shaoyang quickly surrounded the awakened Gu with the drug and slowly extracted it .

Suddenly, the feeling of vomiting grew more and more intense, until he opened his mouth involuntarily and vomited, while the awakened Gu flew out along with the projectile force .

Tan Xiaohui had been prepared for this, and she had spread out a piece of red silk with both ends wrapping around her hands . Once she fetched the awakened Gu with the red silk, she quickly folded it across the corners, tied it with red threads, and threw the Gu into her cauldron .

A butterfly symbol representing the witch doctor knitted in the red silk acted as a seal to the awakened Gu . Although it could move around in the silk, it had no chance of escaping the red silk .

Watching the red silk bag bulging up and down, Xiao Ma asked curiously, “Can you unwrap it and show us what the awakened Gu looks like?”

Tan Xiaohui took a glance at him, “If by any chance the awakened Gu dives into your body, I have no extra portions of Jin Shuai’s blood to save you . ” As she finished her words, she covered the cauldron with a mesh, placed a piece of gauze on top of it, and pressed down with her left hand . Her right hand continuously grabbed powders from a plate, pouring them into the cauldron through the gaps between the gauze .
