Chapter 176 The Fourth Life: The truth about parasitism, natural disaster or man-made disaster?
"Zhou Yuanwai, you are not far from death."
Niujia Village.
Lu Yuandong used his true eyes to carefully look at the rich man, and suddenly said something shocking.
Only from his perspective.
Zhou Yuanwai's internal organs were riddled with holes, and countless bloodworms burrowed in and out of his flesh and blood, eating away his internal organs and flesh.
As for his heart, it was twisted and deformed into a hypertrophied and swollen tumor, like an insect nest, becoming a breeding ground for parasites.
When these blood filarial worms have eaten his flesh and blood, sucked out his bone marrow and hollowed out his internal organs, leaving nothing to eat but a skin, that is when Zhou Yuanwai died.
However, there seems to be some weird parasitic relationship between these parasites and all living things.
No matter how bad the host's physical condition is, as long as there is still value for use, it can survive in the world.
Therefore, as long as Zhou Yuanwai can continue to provide nutrients to these bugs, they may be able to live for four or five years.
However, to the ears of the uninformed, Lu Yuan's words sounded extremely harsh.
"How dare you, the master of the house is in his prime, you, a mere brat, dare to speak nonsense?"
Several guards became furious and scolded him immediately.
Zhou Yuanwai came all the way to deliver gifts, but Lu Yuan cursed him to death as soon as he spoke. Isn't this bullying?
Although Lu Yuan was valued by Master Puxuan and was a future Buddhist disciple, Yuan Zhou had a rich family and was considered a prominent figure in Qingshui County. How had he ever suffered such humiliation?
“You guys must not be rude!”
“Brother Lu is a disciple of the Immortal Master, his methods are unfathomable, how can we mortals be able to guess them!”
However, when Zhou Yuanwai heard these words, his body was shocked and he hurriedly apologized to Lu Yuan.
Not only was he not angry, but he paid more attention and awe to Lu Yuan.
Because my family knows their own affairs.
Over the years, he has been addicted to alcohol and sex, and has been dissolute, and he has been using various drugs for fun, so that his body is exhausted, and he can even walk with panic and breathlessness.
As early as a year ago, Zhou Yuanwai learned that Master Puxuan was practicing medicine in Qingshui County to rescue people in distress. He went to visit him out of admiration, but was told by the other party that he was terminally ill and there was no cure.
Of course.
With Master Puxuan's strong cultivation during the alchemy period, it would be easy to extend his life for decades if no matter the cost.
However, although Zhou Yuanwai is quite powerful in Qingshui County, for a Danjie monk, the so-called earthly rich man is no different from an ant, and he is not qualified to let Master Puxuan spend a lot of money on him.
Knowing that his end was approaching, Zhou Yuanwai returned home in despair.
In the past year, he has even dissipated all his family property, looking for immortals and apprentices everywhere, trying to save his own life, but he has repeatedly hit the wall and found nothing.
After all, birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws, and even immortals are inevitable, let alone an ordinary person like him?
But he didn't expect that Lu Yuan could see his serious illness at a glance.
These methods were so miraculous that they completely convinced Zhou Yuanwai, and he no longer looked down upon Lu Yuan.
"Master Lu, if you have a way to cure Zhou, Zhou is willing to give up all his family property and let Master Xian run around for the rest of his life!"
Zhou Yuanwai saluted with clasped fists repeatedly. , his tone was sincere and he begged.
In the face of death, money, power, dignity, and status are all nothing but dirt.
If Lu Yuan can really extend his life, what does a mere family property mean?
"Have you ever taken medicine that can enhance qi and blood?"
Lu Yuan asked curiously.
The bloodworms in Zhou Yuanwai's body were not only numerous in number, but also extremely vital, causing Lu Yuan's Qi and Blood Gu to convey a strong desire.
After all, the Qi and Blood Gu was deduced by Lu Yuan from the parasitic principle of blood filarial worms by using his talent of understanding.
Therefore, for Qi and Blood Gu, the blood filarial worms that thrive in Zhou Yuanwai's body are definitely a great tonic.
"To be fair to Master Immortal, Zhou has indeed taken a lot of precious medicines."
Zhou Yuanwai replied respectfully, becoming more and more in awe of Lu Yuan's methods.
At the same time, a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart. Could it be that Lu Yuan really had a way to help him survive?
Just thinking of this, Zhou Yuanwai was ecstatic, and he treated Lu Yuan like an immortal master, and his attitude became more and more attentive.
Lu Yuan was noncommittal about this.
In fact, it is not difficult to help Zhou Yuanwai survive.
Due to the distortion of the way of heaven, there is some kind of twisted parasitic relationship between all creatures in this world and the parasite race.
When the host still has value, the parasites in the body will not pose much threat to it, but will feed them back with various powerful powers.
For example, although blood filariasis will eat up all the internal organs, it will also make the body strong and as strong as an ox.
It’s just that parasites reproduce extremely fast. When their scale reaches a certain upper limit and the container cannot provide them with enough nutrients and resources, the container collapse is not far away.
If Zhou Yuanwai wants to extend his life, he has two simple ways.
One is to embark on the path of spiritual practice and increase your potential.
The reason why ordinary people are weak and riddled with all kinds of diseases is because there is too little life energy and they cannot withstand the erosion of parasites.
But as long as you become a monk, not only will your physical fitness skyrocket, but even those low-level bugs will become food and nutrients for other high-level bugs.
But this is fighting poison with poison and drinking poison to quench thirst.
Because after a monk absorbs a large amount of filthy spiritual energy, a more powerful parasite will breed in his body.
This kind of parasite has a higher level of life and can give monks a variety of powerful abilities and methods, even if it can crack monuments, crack rocks, and move mountains and seas.
But if their cultivation speed cannot keep up with the growth speed of the parasite, they will be mercilessly attacked.
It can be said that once all monks start practicing, they are embarking on a road of no return and can only go to the dark side.
Another way to extend life is to reduce the number of bloodworms in Zhou Yuanwai's body.
The host dies because the parasites reproduce too quickly.
But if you keep the parasites within a certain number, you don’t have to worry about the risk of being eaten back for the time being.
"Maybe there is a third way."
Lu Yuan stared at the disgusting sarcoma in Zhou Yuanwai's body, and a new idea suddenly came to his mind.
The reason why the parasite race is so terrifying is that they can reproduce indefinitely, crazily plunder the host's vitality, and are uncontrollable.
But man is the spirit of all things, and Gu is the essence of heaven and earth.
If I replace these parasites with Gu worms, can I also achieve the purpose of extending the lives of mortals?
"No, if it is really that simple, why did those Gu cultivators from ancient times suddenly disappear?"
Lu Yuan shook his head slightly, rejecting this idea.
The water in this world is too deep, and there must be some secret behind it that I don't know about.
At the same time, Lu Yuan also thought of another point.
All things are born in the sky and die on the earth.
When the parasitized monks and creatures died, where did the bugs in their bodies go?
"Could it be that..."
Lu Yuan's hair stood on end, and a terrifying and bold guess suddenly emerged in his heart!
"Master Immortal..."
Seeing Lu Yuan bow his head in deep thought and remain silent for a long time, Zhou Yuanwai couldn't help but call out cautiously.
"I have found a way to help you extend your life, but it takes time to prepare. You can go back for the time being and come back in two months." Lu Yuan couldn't wait to verify his guess, and immediately waved his hand and called Mr. Zhou out. Sent away.
Hearing that Lu Yuan could really save his life, Zhou Yuan was ecstatic, but he just stood there and lingered, refusing to leave for a long time.
Lu Yuan saw his hesitant expression and didn't understand what he was thinking, so he immediately said impatiently.
"Don't worry, you still have a few years to live, and you won't be dead for a while."
"But remember, after you go back, you must not indulge in drinking and sex, otherwise even I won't be able to save you. You!”
“Master Immortal, you are busy. I will come to visit you later.”
When Zhou Yuanwai heard the fairy voice, he immediately left.
But he only listened to half of what Lu Yuan said.
After all, wine and sex are a good thing.
If a man has money, he should eat, drink and have fun, otherwise wouldn’t his life be very boring?
But the Immortal Master’s instructions must not be violated.
After pondering for a long time, Zhou Yuanwai finally made up his mind and decided to quit drinking from today!
Send Zhou Yuanwai away.
Lu Yuan grabbed a big rooster from the yard that liked to crow before dawn, then closed the doors and windows and took out the blood ginseng plant.
From the surface.
This blood ginseng has a medicinal fragrance and is priceless.
But in Lu Yuan's view, this is a rigid and twisted worm covered with slender tentacles, as if it has some kind of life!
Lu Yuan did not know the specific names of these parasites.
Anything that can enhance Qi and blood is called blood worm.
Things that can enhance spiritual energy are what he calls spiritual insects.
Lu Yuan cut off some bits from the surface of the blood worm and fed it to the rooster's mouth.
Then he opened his true eyes and stared at the changes taking place on it, not letting go of any detail.
As soon as the bloodworm's tissue entered the body, it immediately decomposed and transformed into countless larvae.
Then the larvae penetrated deep into the flesh, quickly grew a large number of blood threads and tentacles, took root in the flesh and bones, and frantically absorbed nutrients.
It didn’t take long.
This rooster's internal organs and all blood vessels and meridians have been replaced by these blood worms.
And its strength suddenly increased more than ten times. Lu Yuan was not careful for a moment and almost broke free from it!
A few days later.
Under Lu Yuan's deliberate action, the rooster's body had been severely deformed and was occupied by thousands of blood worms.
In the end, the vitality was cut off, and the body was eaten by insects!
Not even a feather left!
After this period of observation, Lu Yuan also discovered two patterns.
First, these parasites cannot be killed!
When the host dies, they will not die with them, but will decompose and dissipate into some kind of tiny larvae, return to the heaven and earth, and mix in the air, making the filthy aura in this world more intense!
After a suitable host appears.
They will invade the opponent's body again, plunder nutrients and vitality crazily, multiply rapidly again, and repeat this process.
Second.
Due to the distortion of the way of heaven in this world.
No living creature can kill these parasites, only parasites can deal with parasites!
Furthermore, there is a strict hierarchy among the parasite tribes. Their relationship is similar to that of big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimps, and shrimps eating mayflies.
For example, the most common blood worms and spirit worms are food and consumables at the bottom of the food chain.
But as long as they are given enough nutrients and time, they will grow infinitely and transform into some extremely terrifying advanced insectoid existence!
When Lu Yuan concluded these two points, he felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, and all the blood in his body seemed to have solidified in his blood vessels.
Because they are so similar!
The mutual devouring relationship between these parasite clans is exactly the same as the method of raising gu that he deduced!
Especially among those parasitic monks, the situation of killing and cannibalizing the same kind is different from the Gu worms in the urn?
“Could it be that this world is a huge Gu breeding ground?”
Lu Yuan felt cold in his heart and found it difficult to accept this fact.
If this guess is confirmed, it means that all the disasters and disasters in this world are not natural disasters, but are caused deliberately by someone!
Use heaven and earth as a breeding ground, and all living beings as worms.
Raise an Immortal Gu that is unprecedented in history?
This kind of handwriting and character are too appalling!
Lu Yuan was horrified when he thought about it carefully.
If this is the truth of this world, then it can explain why the ancient Gu cultivator suddenly disappeared.
Because Gu insects are born to be the nemesis and natural enemy of all parasites!
Even according to Lu Yuan’s speculation.
All parasites in this world, all living beings, and the distorted way of heaven are all food prepared for a certain immortal Gu that has not yet been born!
If there are other Gu cultivators, then all this is equivalent to making wedding clothes for others.
Think about this.
Lu Yuan also felt an unprecedented strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Although he didn't know who was behind all this.
But Lu Yuan can be sure that once his identity is exposed, the other party will erase him mercilessly.
There will be no hesitation or mercy.
After all, the other party is the supreme devil who treats the whole world as a breeding ground.
For this kind of person, calling him a heinous and dehumanizing person is a compliment!
It’s terrible!
Lu Yuan had already experienced two terminal simulations in a row, and he felt a chill that penetrated his soul at this moment.
In the previous two simulations, both the Immortal Amon and the Immortal Demon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Demon Realm were still normal after all.
But looking at this parasitic world of immortality, that person exists for his own selfishness.
Let the way of heaven be distorted, all things distorted, and billions of living beings suffer from the parasites of the insect race. Is this something that carbon-based organisms can do?
To say that he is the newborn Dong Xi is a compliment!
But since the other party can do such cruel and inhuman things, he probably doesn’t care about other people’s reputation and infamy.
Faced with such a peerless devil who has not achieved his goal, he will use any means.
Lu Yuan let out a long sigh, with only one thought left in his mind.
Become stronger!
Only by working hard to become stronger can we change all this!
At the same time, he acted more and more cautiously, keeping the Qi and Blood Gu and the Naling Gu dormant in his Dantian, and did not even dare to let them appear in the outside world.
Otherwise, once their existence is known, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Later.
Driven by a strong sense of crisis.
Lu Yuan did not dare to delay for a moment and started practicing immediately.
The Gu cultivation system is different from the parasitic cultivation system.
When ordinary qi-training monks encounter bottlenecks, they need to swallow the foundation-building pill in order to successfully enter the foundation-building realm.
But Gu’s cultivation is all based on the natal Gu he refined.
This also means.
Lu Yuan only needs to upgrade Naling Gu to level two to have foundation-building combat power!
