Chapter 274 Hidden Medium
Zhang Xueming and Gong Zishang talked with each other and revealed the purpose of that power which seemed to be struggling to death and instilled false memories into those who entered the illusion.
Although Gong Shangjiao took it to heart, his attention was not diverted: "How did Zhao Zhao rescue us in advance?"
He used the word "rescue" to implicitly tell Zhang Xueming that the palace accepted the favor, and then asked directly to show that he was being honest and not playing tricks, which made it difficult for Zhang Xueming to avoid the question.
She organized her words and said slowly, "When a person suffocates for 120 breaths (two minutes), brain activity stops. When it reaches 300 breaths (five minutes), even if breathing resumes, the brain will be irreparably damaged. I can't use this method to wake up Ayuan and my brother, so..."
"So you took action against Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian." Gong Shangjiao's face changed suddenly and he interrupted her. "Didn't you say that your intuition told you that you couldn't kill those two assassins? You..."
He took the lead, and Zhang Xueming followed suit, interrupting him rudely: "I didn't kill them. I just thought, if I can't kill them, can't I make them stupid? As long as they are not dead, it is not a violation."
Gong Shangjiao was so frightened by her desperate behavior that his scalp went numb: "You are too bold! A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but you still go to the tiger mountain knowing that there is a tiger there? How can you guarantee that your behavior will not anger the other party and hurt you... No, you are being backfired, right, Zheng Zhaozhao?"
Gong Yuanzheng held her hand tightly, and only now whispered: "Brother, it's my fault. It was because I complained to Zhaozhao that I didn't know when I could leave there, so Zhaozhao took the risk..."
"Ayuan, you think too much. This has nothing to do with you." Zhang Xueming said seriously, "When you and your brother were in a coma, I was away for a while."
She deliberately stopped here and saw Gong Yuanzheng looking at her in confusion. His eyes were red but he tried hard not to cry. He was distressed. Because there were people around, he could only speak softly, "Do you remember what I said, that the tarsal flies in Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian's bodies should mutate and devour each other to resolve the matter of the Gu King?"
Gong Yuanzheng nodded: "Master Yue has lured the Gu King in Yun Weishan's body into his own body."
Gong Zishang didn't know who Master Yue was, but considering the Flower Master from the Back Mountain who appeared at her place, she thought that he was probably the Master from the Moon Palace in the Back Mountain.
The heir of the Moon Palace in the back mountain had a relationship with a bladeless assassin. It sounded like a rare thing that he would take his own life. Wasn't this more exciting than what was written in the storybook? She couldn't help but prick up her ears and wait to hear what was going on.
"I deduced that under the catalysis of that drug, there are thirteen possible directions for the tarsal fly to mutate and evolve, and one of them best fits the situation of Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian."
The life of the tarsal fly is short, and the entire process from the hatching of eggs to the laying of eggs by adults takes no more than two hours.
Who would have known that the medicine Zhang Xueming had researched temporarily in front of the secret passage, which she later named "Growth of All Things", would be so powerful that it could use the host's internal energy to transform the tarsal fly into a long-lived species.
The mutated tarsal flies devoured each other, and the ultimate winner was the Gu King rather than the ordinary insects.
The Gu King lives in the host's Dantian and feeds on the host's internal energy. In the process of digesting the internal energy, the Gu King will secrete substances similar to anesthetics and nourish the host's body.
This is the secret of why Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian were in a coma for a long time, and why they were able to maintain their physical condition despite not consuming much water.
After listening to Zhang Xueming's explanation, Gong Yuanzheng said puzzledly: "But after Yun Weishan went to the Moon Palace, she was rescued by Master Yue a few days later. Later, Master Yue transferred the Gu King to himself. When my brother went to the dungeon, Yun Weishan woke up for a while and then fell into a coma again... Her physical condition is still very good, but Master Yue's condition does not seem to have improved because of the Gu King."
Zhang Xueming successfully diverted his attention, ignoring Gong Shangjiao's half-smile, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "This is why I took out the Gu King from Master Yue and Shangguan Qian, and used my internal energy to do a detailed examination on them and Yun Weishan."
She is curious too, okay?
The effect of this Gu on the host is comparable to that of Izumo Juren.
There is only one flaw. They were originally nourished by internal energy of a certain nature. After becoming Gu Kings, they are only willing to consume internal energy of the same nature.
Yun Weishan cultivated the most yin internal energy, and the Gu King raised with her as a vessel refused to consume Yue Gongzi's most yang internal energy, nor did it secrete substances to nourish the body to benefit him.
Master Yue repaired the meridians and Dantian that were destroyed by Gong Huanyu, but because he continued to practice the Yang attribute technique, he was repelled by the Gu King. Even if Master Yue was not executed tomorrow, as long as Zhang Xueming did not take the Gu King away, sooner or later he would have his Dantian and meridians destroyed again by the hungry Gu King.
Yun Weishan's situation was very strange. Before Master Yue transferred the Gu King, the Gu King secreted a large amount of nourishing substances containing anesthetic ingredients in her body at one time, but it would not be triggered until she was seriously injured...
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up, and he understood why Zhang Xueming explained it to them in such detail: "In other words, the situation where Lian Yunweishan and Shangguan Qian were in a coma for many days and still maintained good physical condition seems mysterious and illogical, but in fact, it is logical when you look into it carefully?"
"Yes." Zhang Xueming said.
Gong Zishang couldn't help but interrupt: "Then it's logical that we all fainted at the same time today?"
Although everyone was gathered in the dungeon, they were all in different places. It didn't seem right that they all fainted at the same time, right?
Gong Yuanzheng was also somewhat puzzled: "Zhao Zhao said that the power needed a medium to descend on the front mountain, but Zhao Zhao should have taken off the accessories and other things on the several 'characters' on that level at that time. In the end, he still had to kill the two edgeless assassins in order to let the power release me and my brother..."
"This is what I want to tell you. At first I thought the medium was just an accessory, but it's more than that." Zhang Xueming frowned when he mentioned this. "I've never tried to use my internal force to invade someone's head before, because the human brain is the most sophisticated instrument in the world, and it can go wrong if you're not careful. When I detoxified Ayuan and combed my brother's meridians, I focused on the area below the head.
Today I found a black sticky substance on the brain surface of Yun Weishan, Shangguan Qian and Yue Gongzi. The amount was not large, but it was poisonous. I took the initiative to dissolve it after my internal force came into contact with it, and then I found out... this is what I have been using my internal energy to dissolve almost every moment since I entered the Old Dust Valley. "
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao realized what she was going to say next and their eyes widened in disbelief.
Gong Zishang asked in confusion: "What is it, Zhao Zhao?"
Zhang Xueming sighed softly: "The poison in the miasma."
