C2854 Preparing the Gu
After sending the Bai Family Patriarch back to his room, Si Ran started looking for the person who planted the Gu in Bai Qiuwu. When she arrived at the person's room, she found that the person was not in the room at all.
"Where did he go?" Si Ran frowned when her search was fruitless.
Dong. . . Dong. . . Dong. . . ]
The dull sound came from afar, it was the sound of the crutches hitting the ground.
Hearing this sound, Si Ran knew that this person had finally come back.
The door was pushed open and an old man with a hunched back appeared at the door of the room.
His age seemed to have passed the ancient era. He held a black wooden crutch in his hand and a green snake wrapped around his arm. The snake's head rested on the head of the crutch and it would occasionally spit out scarlet snake tongues.
The old man was thin and his grey clothes seemed to be wide. It seemed that he was wearing a tattered cloth that had been washed until his white hair was hanging on his body. Behind the hairline, his sparse white hair was tied into a long and long pigtail at the back of his head, hanging on his shoulder. Under the tail of the braids was a gray, yellow, and yellow robe.
His entire face was full of wrinkles, and his yellow and black skin did not seem to contain even the slightest bit of gelatin. Only that pair of eyes seemed to have some vitality, revealing vitality that did not match his age. His eye sockets were sunken, and his eyelids drooped down very much.
Seeing Si Ran appear in his room, the old man did not seem surprised at all.
"Elder He, where did you go?" Si Ran immediately asked.
"I am here to help Miss Si, not her servant. " The old man walked in and said, "You have the freedom to go out. "
"Si Ran did not have the intention to question him, so she did not care about where the old man went. She told him about Bai Qiuwu before asking, "What is wrong with him?"
"Don't worry, he won't die. " The old man took out a white handkerchief and covered his mouth. He coughed twice and frowned. It seemed that this cough was very painful for him.
"Is there any solution now?" Si Ran asked.
"The so-called Heart Gu, the person who is affected by it will bring the person in his heart to have a beautiful dream. For example, if the person in the dream appears in reality, it will naturally cause the person who is affected by the Gu to be in a state of mental disorder. " The elder asked.
"Then what will happen?" Si Ran asked.
"The dream world will not change, but people in the real world will not be able to tell whether they are in the dream or in reality. " The old man said.
"Is there a way to wake him up?" Si Ran asked.
"Yes, to remove the Gu. " The elder replied.
"Is it to remove the Heart Gu?" Si Ran frowned slightly. If the Heart Gu had been removed, Bai Qiuwu would naturally not be so easy to deal with.
"That's right. " The elder replied.
"After removing the Gu, can we plant more Gu?" Si Ran asked.
"The Heart Gu can only be removed once, once. " The old man looked up at Si Ran and said, "Otherwise, he and I will both suffer from the Worm Poison's backlash. "
. . . "" Si Ran clenched her fists and asked, "Is there any other way?"
"Yes. " The old man thought for a while and said, "We can also use poison to fight poison. "
"Fight poison with poison?" Si Ran frowned slightly.
"Among the He Family's Seven Gu, the Heart Gu and the Soul Gu are ranked third. These two Gu are equally matched. If we use the Soul Gu to force them, we can't suppress Young Master Bai's current situation. " The elder said.
"Is it dangerous?" Si Ran asked.
"It is not dangerous for me, but for him. . . If he succeeds, he will live, and if he fails, he will die. " The old man said.
"If he succeeds, he will live. If he fails, he will die. . . "Si Ran muttered as her brows knitted tightly. For a moment, she was actually somewhat unable to pay attention to it.1
"Hur hur. " Seeing Si Ran hesitate, the old man laughed coldly and said," You outsider are procrastinating when it comes to doing things. When it comes to making a decision, you are also hesitant. "
"Is there only these two methods?" Si Ran asked.
"Only these two methods. " The old man said, "You better make a decision within three hours. "
"Three hours?" Si Ran frowned slightly. So urgent?
"The Heart Gu wreaks havoc. Every minute and every second, thousands of insects devour the heart, the pain enters the heart and spleen. At most, it can only last for three hours. " The old man said.
"What?" Si Ran was startled. No wonder Bai Qiuwu's expression was so painful.
"Miss Si, you can think about it yourself. I am not going to keep you company. " The old man waved his hand and sent the guest away.
Si Ran opened her mouth but before she could say anything, she saw that the old man had already turned around.
Slowly closing her mouth, Si Ran turned around and left the old man's room. Her hands were on the side of her body as she clenched her fists. The current situation was really in a dilemma.
Standing at the door, Si Ran felt that the situation had already exceeded her control.
Originally, she was quite confident that she would be able to obtain the help of these capable people.
But now, it seemed that none of these capable people could be of use.
Si Ran instead felt somewhat passive.
Now, she could only contact the Feng Family as soon as possible to see if there were any other ways.
After Si Ran left, the old man stretched out his hand as if it was a piece of dead wood. He pointed at the green snake head that was coiled on top of the crutch and said, "No one is disturbing us. Let's see what kind of gift we can give those little toys. "
"Sss. . . Sss. . . " The snake spat out its scarlet snake tongue. When it opened its mouth, it revealed two sharp fangs.
"Use your venom as bait. " The old man's voice was hoarse, and his chuckle was enough to cause one's scalp to go numb.
He took out a white porcelain bottle the size of a palm from the robe he was wearing on his shoulder. The bottle was stained with venom from the mouth of the green snake.
The old man then used his sharp, grayish-black nails to poke at the abdomen of his finger. An opening immediately appeared on his finger like the opening of a baby's mouth. A drop of blood flowed out from the opening and dripped into the white porcelain bottle.
The elder pressed his fingertip together again, and the wound completely healed.
Shaking the porcelain bottle, the old man took out a thin bottle the size of a finger from his robe. The cork wrapped in red cloth blocked the mouth of the bottle.
From the mouth of the bottle emitted a strange smell of Camphoragate.
The old man opened the cork and held his breath as he dripped the liquid into the white porcelain bottle. After closing the cork, the old man stuffed the bottle back into his robe. He raised his hand and waved it before resuming his breathing.
With one breath, he felt dizzy, and a blank look appeared in his eyes. In two breaths, his eyes gradually became clear.
"Such a good thing, giving it away for free, I really do have some reluctance to part with it. " The old man snorted and laughed, then reached out and stroked the green snake: "Let's go and meet those children again. "
"Sss. . . Sss. . . The green snake seemed to be very excited as well.
With a thud, the crutch hit the ground. The old man staggered and walked towards the door step by step.
[Creak -] The old man pushed the door open and walked out.
[Thump! Thump! Thump! Dong. . . The sound of the crutch hitting the ground came from afar.
