Chapter 679 Gu Can Save People
Immediately, the animals that were gnawing at the giant python were dispersed.
When the dark clouds covered the giant python, Chen Yang immediately heard extremely miserable roars.
This giant python had already cultivated inner strength. Although its strength was not strong, Chen Yang knew that it was definitely not something ordinary insects could bite to death.
But just as Chen Yang had this thought, the flying insects had already left the giant python's body.
The originally thick python had long since disappeared, leaving only a pile of remains.
Chen Yang's eyebrows twitched. Looking at the insects that were gradually flying away, he understood that they were actually Gu worms.
Seeing the Gu worms fly away, the village chief then called everyone to clean up the python's remains on the ground.
The relieved village chief then saw Chen Yang standing on the wooden wall.
The two simply nodded as a greeting. The village chief didn't say much, and Chen Yang lightly stepped down towards Zhu Sanqian and the others.
"Why did you two come out? Didn't I tell you to stay in the room?"
Facing Chen Yang's questioning, Zhu Sanqian didn't speak. He Lingyu, standing beside him, chuckled awkwardly, "There was another strange cry just now, it was quite creepy."
Seeing He Lingyu changing the subject, Chen Yang rolled his eyes directly, "Haven't you heard curiosity killed the cat?"
"Hurry back and rest."
After the three returned to the room, Chen Yang looked at Zhu Sanqian, who was following him and constantly staring at him.
"Brother Sanqian, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you like men?"
After Zhu Sanqian realized his inappropriate behavior just now, his face turned red, and he hurriedly explained, "Don't talk nonsense!"
But after he finished speaking, Zhu Sanqian suddenly realized that Chen Yang was a martial artist much stronger than him.
Was his previous remark disrespectful to the other party?
Thinking of this, Zhu Sanqian's expression changed, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing Zhu Sanqian like this, Chen Yang understood in his heart and said calmly, "Rest."
Along the way, Chen Yang had quite a good impression of Zhu Sanqian.
Chen Yang also learned about Zhu Sanqian's background. Zhu Wenyu was his savior, and even his surname was forcibly changed by Zhu Sanqian.
Logically speaking, after helping Zhu Wenyu for so many years, Zhu Sanqian should have saved enough money to leave the southwest. With his sharp mind, he would surely be able to build a career elsewhere.
But Zhu Sanqian had no such thoughts and stayed by Zhu Wenyu's side, never leaving.
Chen Yang indeed regarded Zhu Sanqian as a friend, but when the gap between them was exposed, Chen Yang could have predicted Zhu Sanqian's reaction.
The two of them probably couldn't be friends anymore. For Zhu Sanqian, he was a powerful martial artist, and there was an insurmountable gap between them.
It wasn't that Chen Yang disliked this idea, but this sense of reality constantly reminded Chen Yang of the difference between martial artists.
Compared to Zhu Sanqian, He Lingyu did not have such a feeling and instead quietly asked Chen Yang what he had seen outside.
"It's nothing much, just a python as tall as a person and as thick as a waist!"
He Lingyu rolled her eyes directly, "How can there be such a big python? If you don't want to say it, just don't say it!"
Chen Yang laughed heartily without further explanation, and instead sat in a corner of the room to study how much his flame inner force and cold water inner force, which had absorbed chaotic power, had strengthened.
The next morning, after eating the breakfast provided by the village, Chen Yang was taken away alone.
For He Lingyu's request to go out, the village also agreed to arrange for someone to escort her.
When Chen Yang followed the village chief to the tunnel, he was extremely surprised. The tunnel he had explored yesterday, did it lead to the dwelling of the Gu worm master?
It wasn't until a very high-tech door appeared before Chen Yang that he could no longer suppress his inner doubts.
"Are the Gu worm masters all living here?"
Hearing Chen Yang's sudden question, the village chief stopped and turned to look at Chen Yang, his eyes like he was looking at an idiot.
"There aren't that many Gu worm masters. Our village only has one. Even if you count all the villages, there won't be more than ten Gu worm masters."
"Do you really think Gu worm masters are so easy to cultivate?"
"I have been trained as a Gu worm master since I was a child, but even after decades, I am still a half-baked practitioner. To become a Gu worm master, not only effort but also talent is required."
As the village chief spoke, he led Chen Yang inside.
Upon seeing the complete set of laboratory protective clothing, Chen Yang's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Chen Yang had expected the Gu worm master's dwelling to be dilapidated, but he never expected it to be such an advanced laboratory.
Now Chen Yang finally understood where the Zhu family's support was spent!
After putting on protective clothing and entering a laboratory, Chen Yang saw the Gu worm master he was about to meet.
Although separated by two masks, Chen Yang could still clearly see the other party's face. He was very young!
"My surname is Gong, you can call me Renli. Mr. Chen, please have a seat."
As Gong Renli spoke, the village chief left the room.
Facing Gong Renli, Chen Yang looked around the surroundings before sitting down and said, "This place of yours is truly eye-opening. Even the laboratories of our Tianyi Hall for medical research might not be as good as yours."
Hearing Chen Yang praise his laboratory, Gong Renli was very pleased.
"Hahaha, this cost a lot of money. Many things could not have been bought if the Zhu family hadn't intervened."
"Actually, I have always had a doubt. Tianyi Hall is based on medical skills. What is your view on the lineage of Gu worm masters?"
Chen Yang did not expect to discuss this issue with the other party as soon as he arrived, and then smiled and said, "Gu is a material, medicine is a material. Medicine can save people, and it can also harm people."
"Gu worms are the same. There are no so-called good or bad medicinal materials in this world, only good or bad physicians."
Gong Renli's eyes lit up. He had heard this kind of argument before, but most people still regarded Gu worms as a terrifying existence.
"To be able to say such a thing, you must be a good doctor."
Chen Yang smiled and said nothing. Gong Renli's question was probably not just casual.
As expected, Gong Renli immediately said, "You have seen quite a few people in this village. Can you sense their unusualness?"
Chen Yang said calmly, "Are you referring to the toxins deposited in their bodies?"
Gong Renli's tone carried a hint of excitement, and he hurriedly said, "My guess is correct, you already knew!"
"Since you are from Tianyi Hall, do you have any way to completely remove the toxins from their bodies?"
