Chapter 335 Magical Creatures
Chapter 335 Magical Creatures
Xu Feng lowered his head slightly, stroking his chin, his eyes full of curiosity: "Poisoning a dead person? Interesting!!"
Xu Feng actually has no knowledge of witchcraft.
But he knew very well that witchcraft existed in this world and there were even many schools of thought.
Many poisonous insect traps are set up in some large tombs.
For example, the legendary tomb of King Xian.
The old fellow, King Xian, is a master of Gu.
I just don't know who this Xiangxi Gu King is? !
Soon, Xu Feng arrived at his destination, a quiet villa.
Zhang Rishan, who had received the news long ago, was already waiting outside the door. Xu Feng saw him as soon as he got out of the car. At the same time, he also saw several people standing next to Zhang Rishan.
An old man with gray hair, wearing a white ancient-style jacket and cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, stood alone on the left side of Zhang Rishan.
On the right side of Zhang Rishan, there were four people standing.
A middle-aged man in a suit was supporting an old man with a cane, and a very beautiful young woman was supporting an old woman who looked very frail and in poor spirits.
Xu Feng immediately guessed that the four of them should be members of the Zheng family.
Because their faces were full of worry and sadness that could not be concealed, especially the young woman, who hadn't even wiped the tears off her face, and looked so pitiful.
Xu Feng just glanced at her and then turned his gaze to Zhang Rishan.
"Director Zhang, what are you doing? Bringing so many people to welcome me, making it so grand, you must have ulterior motives!"
he joked.
Zhang Rishan smiled lightly: "Isn't this a bother for you? I asked you to come all the way here."
"Hey! It's no trouble at all!"
Xu Feng waved his hand indifferently: "There's no need to be so polite between us. Besides, I'm staying at home anyway, so it's good to come out and relax."
Zhang Rishan nodded.
Then he said, "Let me introduce you first."
He pointed at the Zheng family and said, "This is Zheng Heping, Mr. Zheng. Next to him is his son, Mr. Zheng Haiyuan, who is currently the helmsman of the Zheng family's business. And these two are Madam Zheng and Mrs. Zheng."
"The Zheng family has always had business cooperation with our Zhang family and is a very good partner of our Zhang family."
Xu Feng extended his hand to them and smiled gently, "Hello, my name is Xu Feng, I'm in the antique business, it's an honor to meet you."
"I have long heard of Boss Xu's great name. It is a great honor to meet him today!"
Mr. Zheng concealed his worry and said with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Zheng has heard of me?!"
Xu Feng was a little surprised.
He looked at Zhang Rishan. Could it be that this guy had told him about me?
Zhang Rishan seemed to have guessed Xu Feng's thoughts. He smiled and shook his head, indicating that he had not said that.
"Boss Xu's name is well-known to everyone in the industry! Especially your story of going deep into the desert to find the legendary Jingjue Ancient City and then escaping unscathed is simply a legend in the industry and is admirable!"
Zheng Haiyuan replied.
"Oh?!"
Xu Feng looked at him in surprise: "It seems that President Zheng is also in the same industry?!"
Zheng Haiyuan nodded: "That's right! I wonder if Director Zhang has ever told you about our family history!"
"When my father was young, he followed the people of the Nine Gates to make a living. Later, after the big men of the Nine Gates left Nanhu one after another, my father started his own business!"
"Initially, we were still engaged in the antique business, after all, it was our old business. Later, the business grew bigger and bigger. After I joined the company, we began to diversify and set up a group company, involving many industries, but the antique business is still one of our Zheng family's main businesses."
Zheng Haiyuan's answer surprised Xu Feng a little.
I didn't expect that the Zheng family started out in the antique business!
Then he thought it was normal. After all, Mr. Zheng used to make a living by working for the people of Jiumen, and the antique business was his main profession.
"Xu Feng, let me introduce this person to you!"
Zhang Rishan pointed to the old man on the left: "Wu Congyi, from the Miao village, is proficient in the art of insect poisoning."
Xu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you a master of Gu magic?" It seems that this should be the friend that Zhang Rishan was looking for who recognized the Three Souls Gu at first sight.
The old man smiled faintly: "You are too polite. I can't be called a master, and I am not a Gu master. I was just born in a Miao village and have been influenced by it since I was a child. I know more about the art of insect Gu than ordinary people."
"Master is being modest!"
Xu Feng said.
"Okay, okay! Let's stop standing at the door and chat. Let's sit inside and talk."
Zhang Rishan said at this time.
"Yes, yes, everyone, come in and sit down and chat!"
Zheng Haiyuan also greeted them.
Everyone went into the house.
"Come on, everyone, sit on the sofa. Shu Yue, go and pour the tea!"
Zheng Haiyuan said.
Xu Feng raised his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to sit down. If possible, can you let me see the child first?!"
Everyone was stunned.
Zheng Haiyuan then nodded quickly: "Yes! Of course!"
He took the lead and walked to the side: "The child's room is over here."
Soon, they entered a warmly decorated room full of childlike cuteness. There was a big soft bed in it with two children lying quietly, and next to them was a woman in a nurse's uniform.
The two children were sleeping while receiving intravenous drips.
Although they were asleep, their brows were still furrowed, as if they were enduring some pain, and there were faint traces of tears on their tender little faces.
Xu Feng leaned over and looked at the child for a long time, but did not find anything abnormal about the child.
However, a very faint fishy smell could be smelled in the air.
After looking for a while, Xu Feng gestured to leave.
Everyone returned to the living room.
After everyone was seated, Zheng Haiyuan couldn't wait to ask, "Boss Xu, did you see anything?!"
Xu Feng immediately laughed: "Boss Zheng, to be honest, this Master Wu is the expert, you can just ask him! I don't know why Director Zhang wants me to come here for help, because I really don't know much about the art of insect poisoning!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Haiyuan looked at Master Wu, then at Zhang Rishan, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Zhang Rishan laughed: "I asked you to come here, of course I need you."
After a pause, he asked again: "Well, let me ask you first, how much do you know about the art of insect poisoning?!"
"How much do you know about the art of insect poisoning?!"
Xu Feng pondered for a long time before saying, "The origin of the art of insect poisoning can be traced back to the Xia and Shang dynasties. At that time, the art of poisoning was witchcraft, a kind of trickery that artificially cultivated some magical creatures and used them on others."
"These magical creatures are usually poisonous insects. After human intervention and specific cultivation, they will possess mysterious powers and can parasitize other people, thus producing wonderful effects."
"Like killing people!"
“For example, curing illness!”
"Well, the most common method of making Gu is to put a variety of poisonous insects in a container and let them bite and devour each other in the container to find the final winner. Then use a unique method to cultivate this insect king. The one that is successfully cultivated is what we often call the Gu King."
"It is said that this Gu King can easily eat up all of a person's internal organs."
"There is also a kind of poisonous insect called the Golden Silkworm Gu. The method of making it is to bury twelve kinds of poisonous insects at a crossroads, take them out after forty-nine days, and then cultivate them through secret techniques, and then you can successfully refine it."
"It is said that the golden silkworm Gu is not afraid of water or fire, likes to eat meat, and has the ability to change its appearance. Sometimes it may turn into a snake, and sometimes it may turn into a bird."
"There are also things like Mother-Child Gu, Heart Gu, Snake Gu, etc. Uh, I've only heard of these names, but I don't know the details."
