Chapter 14: The Emperor's Daughter
After leaving the main hall, Luo Shaoxuan returned to his bedroom. He walked to the bedside and pressed a mechanism, and the wall beside the bedroom, which was hung with an ink painting, slowly opened. What caught his eye was a dark passage with no end in sight. Luo Shaoxuan slowly walked in.
Luo Shaoxuan walked along the path in the darkness, his face calm, already familiar with the route.
After walking for a while, the path began to have candlelight. Passing through the candlelit passage was a low-temperature bedroom. This bedroom was very spacious, with only a rectangular pit in the center.
Lying in the pit was a corpse, its surface a sheet of snow-white, preserved almost intact, except for the tiny holes on the snow-white skin and the squirming beneath the skin.
If others were present, they would certainly be scared out of their wits by this scene. The corpse was actually Luo Sheng, the eldest daughter of the Luo family who had disappeared two years ago. What was even more spine-chilling was that the squirming beneath the corpse was actually corpse gu!
It is said that corpse gu likes to live in low temperatures and feed on dead bodies. Among gu, they are divided into three categories: gold, silver, and copper, just like people's status. They also live in three different parts of the corpse, with gold gu occupying the top position, which is the position of the brain, silver gu in the middle upper body position, and copper gu in the leg position.
And their functions are all different. If copper gu is placed on a living person, it can make that person suffer unbearably, keeping them awake for three hours while their whole body will suffer the pain of being gnawed, until death.
Silver gu can make a person suffer for three months. During the period of being infested with silver gu, the person's body will frequently vomit blood, and their internal organs will be gnawed clean, and then they will become an empty shell and die.
Gold gu can control people. The body of a person infested with gold gu will also die and become a real zombie, obeying the orders of the person who placed the gu. Such people are also known as death warriors. They have no thought, and even if they are cut with several swords, they will not fall.
And once these gu complete their "mission," they will also die. Whether it is the way corpse gu are raised or their effects, they are all terrifying and extremely rare, so few people know about them, and they have become a legend.
Luo Shaoxuan slowly walked to the side of the corpse, looking down at it with lowered eyes, as if admiring a piece of art, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up: "It seems that it will be able to be used soon."
......
Returning to the Town
In the restaurant, Si Qingyu and Zhao Sixi were sitting by the window on the second floor, eating.
Zhao Sixi ate as if she had never eaten before, shoveling rice into her mouth and stuffing dishes into her mouth, her two cheeks puffed up, while her eyes were shining as she looked at Si Qingyu: "Doctor Si... this is so good, I've never eaten such good food before!"
Si Qingyu's forehead almost throbbed with anger, and she couldn't take it anymore: "Eat properly, talk after you finish eating!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Si Qingyu looked at her helplessly and shook her head. She was really a lively one.
Finally, Zhao Sixi finished eating the last dish and put down her chopsticks with a sigh: "Doctor Si, this is the first time I've eaten so much. The dishes are really delicious!" She grinned at Si Qingyu: "Thank you, Doctor Si."
Si Qingyu sipped her tea and shook her head slightly.
"Doctor Si, are you full?"
A nod.
"Then let's go back to the clinic."
"Mm." Just as Si Qingyu was about to get up, she suddenly heard a commotion outside the window. She turned her head to look with indifference.
Zhao Sixi also curiously leaned by the window and looked: "Eh? Isn't that the young master of the Li family in town? How is he bullying people again."
Si Qingyu looked at her with a slight frown.
Zhao Sixi scratched her head and explained: "I used to come to town to set up a stall often and heard about him. He is the young master of a wealthy family in town and is very arrogant. He often throws his weight around in town. I heard that he moved here from the capital, and his family has some money and connections with the yamen, so no one dares to offend him. Many people in town dislike him and say that he will not be able to marry in the future." Of course, if he is so domineering, it would be a misery to marry him, Zhao Sixi thought to herself.
Si Qingyu frowned. Such a person was indeed unlikeable.
The person making a scene downstairs was Li Tianyang, whom she hadn't seen for many days. At this moment, he was holding a whip in his hand, fiercely whipping the person on the ground, his eyes full of viciousness: "You dare to steal this young master's money pouch, this young master will let you die!"
The person on the ground rolled and screamed in pain.
