Chapter 1077 Old Rules
Tang Feng’s understanding of Gu Master and Gu Worm was entirely obtained through his travels to various galaxies and his records from some classics. As for the reality on Earth, he had no idea, let alone any contact with Gu Master.
After all, when he was here, he was just a newly graduated college student. He didn't know that there were many secret things in this world, and he didn't even understand the existence of martial arts practitioners. Even though he was interested in some weird and supernatural events because of Lin Mengjia, he was just listening to them as stories.
Hearing Zixuan say this, Tang Feng looked at her and asked at her, "What else did your master say?"
Zixuan thought hard, frowned slightly, and looked very hard. After thinking for a while, she said, "I didn't say much, and I didn't take it seriously at that time. Maybe he said it, I didn't remember it, but I can be sure that Gu Master must be quite low-key. It's really unheard of this kind of thing that is thousands of miles away from home to raising Gu so much."
Tang Feng's eyes were a little thoughtful.
Seeing this, Ji Ning tentatively said, "Miss Zixuan, when did your master tell you this?
When did he meet those Gu masters?"
Zixuan thought for a while and said, "He told me that it was about ten years ago. As for the time he saw the Gu Master, it was hard to say. When I saw him, he was very old. Who would know when he was young?"
Shangguan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He couldn't help but say to Zixuan: "You, don't you know your master's age, right?"
Listening to the full surprise in Shangguan's voice, Zi Xuan coughed gently, concealing the embarrassing expression that flashed across her face, and said, "We Qi Refiners, naturally, don't care as much about age as you do. Some people look young, but they are already a big age. Some people look big, actually, well, he is just a big age. My master is the kind of person who looks big. As for the actual age, maybe he has forgotten it himself, how could I know?"
Listening to Zixuan's words that were obviously unreasonable, Shangguan's face seemed helpless.
Ji Ning hurriedly said: "No matter how old Miss Zixuan is, what happened when she was young must have been decades, or even hundreds of years. After so long, the changes in the world have been earth-shaking. It is understandable that the habits of Gu Master have changed."
His words made Shangguan nod slightly, and Lin Mengjia also echoed: "Yes, this Gu Master can be considered a group, and there are some people among them, and it may be different."
Zixuan hesitated a little and said, "I thought so at that time, so I didn't say this. If I hadn't asked now, I wouldn't have planned to talk about it. This book is just a trivial matter. Don't let these things affect your judgment."
Just as everyone said this, Tang Feng frowned and said, "What you said is very reasonable. A Gu master who can raise thousands of silk threads on such a large scale will definitely not be an ordinary Gu master. Such skills must have great fame and status in southern Xinjiang."
"What can I do?"
Lin Mengjia's puzzled thought.
Tang Feng explained: "Generally speaking, in a inheritance, the more capable and have a higher status, the more you pay attention to tradition and will not easily break the rules left by your ancestors."
Zixuan nodded and said, "Yes, my master is like this. At that time, we were the only two of us left in that sect. He still strictly abides by the rules in the sect. It really makes people feel very stubborn."
As she spoke, Zixuan had a faint smile on her lips, as if she was mocking her master for her pedanticity, but everyone present could see that there was a hint of helplessness in her smile.
Zixuan seemed to be less respectful to her master when she spoke, but everyone knew that she actually cared about it very much. The last time she returned to Kunlun and never saw him, it made Zixuan feel very sad.
Shangguan heard the meaning of Tang Feng's words and couldn't help but say to him: "Mr. Tang means that he thinks that Gu masters with such skills should not violate the traditions of southern Xinjiang?"
Tang Feng nodded, didn't say anything, but his eyes seemed a little complicated.
Lin Mengjia shook her head and said, "But this fact is in front of you, unless the things that happened in Linji County and now in Yucheng Mountain are not the Gu Master who is placing Gu."
"If it's not Gu Master, who else can he be?"
Shangguan opened his mouth slightly, "This witch technique is not more ordinary. It can be learned by anybody. I heard that refining worms requires very exquisite methods. Many witch masters have learned from childhood."
Lin Mengjia tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "This refining of Gu is difficult to learn, but it may not be difficult to use, right?
What if a person who is a little proficient in this, if he gets this Gu seedling, he will just take it out and use it?"
"But Mr. Tang said before that Linji County is a process of raising Gu on a large scale, not simply using it. All the dead are carefully selected and even cultivate the Gu insects on their descendants. I am afraid that this is not an easy task."
Shangguan's voice was very slow, but his tone was full of doubts about Lin Mengjia.
The two of them started to argue.
After saying a few words to each other, no one could convince each other. The two turned their heads to Tang Feng together, looking at him together, looking forward to what he could say and give an answer.
Tang Feng could only smile at Lin Mengjia with a little helplessness, and then said, "We are going to Yucheng Mountain tomorrow. When we get there, many things are clear. Why do you argue over such trivial matters?"
Lin Mengjia smiled and said, "We have no disputes, we are just discussing."
Shangguan also nodded, expressing his agreement with Lin Mengjia's words, but there was still thought in her eyes, and she was obviously still thinking about this.
Zi Xuan suddenly said, "What does that thousand silk wisp look like?"
When Lin Mengjia and Shangguan's faces suddenly became very ugly when they heard her ask. Neither of them was interested in describing them to her, so they looked at Tang Feng again.
Tang Feng smiled and said, "Just go and see it yourself. In addition, you need to use your formless mirror to temporarily seal them in order to avoid any accidents."
