The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 155 Profound Yin Snake Gu

“What are you talking about, brat? What true killer, false killer? Do you think we messed with Old Brother Qi?”

Sun Buzhou couldn’t understand what Chen Xiao was doing, but that didn’t stop him from flying into a rage.

“You have to explain yourself today, or I absolutely won’t let you off!”

Chen Xiao sneered, “Won’t let me off? I won’t let you off! Old man, nice needles, let me borrow them!”

Chen Xiao said ‘borrow,’ but in reality, it was no different than stealing.

His hands moved with lightning speed, and in a flash, he snatched all of Sun Buzhou’s silver needles.

Immediately afterward, without another word, he picked up a few needles and thrust them into Qitian Hu’s acupuncture points.

“You little punk, you don’t want to live, do you? Dare to steal my master’s needles, do you know how precious this set of needles is? And you, a kid who hasn’t even grown all his hair, do you know how to use silver needles?”

Luo Shu cursed angrily, baring his teeth as he lunged towards Chen Xiao.

However, this time, Sun Buzhou stopped him.

He shouted, “Luo Shu, stop!”

Luo Shu looked at him, puzzled, “Master?”

But Sun Buzhou’s gaze didn’t linger on him at all. He stared intently at Chen Xiao, an expression of disbelief on his face.

“This is…”

Sun Buzhou asked in shock, “Is this Tou Xin Liang?”

“Old man, you’re quite knowledgeable!”

Chen Xiao’s lips curled up, but his hands didn’t stop, continuing smoothly.

Being called ‘knowledgeable’ by someone several decades younger than yourself isn’t usually something to be proud of.

But if that person can perform Tou Xin Liang (Heart Cooling), that’s another matter entirely.

Luo Shu said sourly, “Master, I think this kid is just bragging, don’t be fooled!”

“Tou Xin Liang is a divine skill recorded in the Taiyi Divine Needle technique. As far as I know, no one in the world knows the Taiyi Divine Needle. How could this kid possibly know this divine skill?”

Sun Buzhou said with a wry smile, “How could he? Luo Shu, it’s a sin to scorn an expert. Do you think someone who possesses the Nine Dragon Coffin would be an ordinary person?”

“Moreover, when I was young, I had the honor of seeing my grandmaster use the Taiyi Divine Needle. The effect of Tou Xin Liang is exactly the same as what he’s doing now.”

“So this needle technique is undoubtedly the Taiyi Divine Needle!”

A chilling aura emanated from Qi Tianhu’s body, and even his skin was several shades paler than before, as if frozen.

Seeing this, Qi Qingfei couldn’t help but ask, “My dad doesn’t look too good, is he really okay?”

Qi Tianhu was clearly not awake, but his body was shivering non-stop, as if he were in a very cold environment.

Sun Buzhou explained, “Tou Xin Liang is the coldest needle technique in the world. It was originally used to dispel evil heat, but in this situation, I don’t know what Master Chen is doing. To be honest, I don’t understand.”

Sun Buzhou’s attitude towards Chen Xiao had completely changed, and he even addressed Chen Xiao as Master Chen.

So although he didn’t understand what Chen Xiao was doing now, he didn’t dare to interrupt rashly.

At this moment, Qi Qingfei suddenly cried out in surprise, “Huh? What’s that?”

She pointed to Qi Tianhu’s arm, where a raised bump about an inch long suddenly appeared on Qi Tianhu’s forearm.

Moreover, the bump could move, as if something was hidden beneath Qi Tianhu’s skin.

Sun Buzhou was immediately shocked, “Is it a Gu worm? Has Brother Qi been infected with Gu?”

Qi Qingfei was so frightened that her face turned pale, “Infected with Gu? What should we do?”

Sun Buzhou said calmly, “Don’t be afraid yet, let’s see what Master Chen does next!”

Gu breeding originated in the Miao region and was originally used to treat diseases.

However, later it was used by some evil people to harm others, so the reputation of Gu worms became worse and worse, even becoming a symbol of evil magic.

After Chen Xiao saw the bulge wriggling under Qi Tianhu’s skin, a faint smile appeared on his lips, “I’ve finally lured you out!”

Immediately afterward, his needle technique suddenly changed, and several streaks of fire ignited in the air.

Qi Tianhu’s originally pale and cold skin instantly turned red, as if it were being roasted by fierce fire.

Sun Buzhou was so shocked that he couldn’t even speak properly.

“This, this, this is… Shao Shan Huo (Mountain Fire Burning)? Yes, this is Shao Shan Huo!”

Shao Shan Huo is also a needle technique from the Taiyi Divine Needle, but it is extremely difficult, several times more difficult to perform than Tou Xin Liang.

Sun Buzhou had seen his grandmaster perform Tou Xin Liang, but he had never seen him perform Shao Shan Huo, because he had never learned Shao Shan Huo in his entire life.

And in Sun Buzhou’s generation, he hadn’t even learned Tou Xin Liang.

He had thought that the Taiyi Divine Needle technique had been completely lost and discontinued.

But he never expected to see Chen Xiao perform it today.

To be able to skillfully perform Shao Shan Huo and Tou Xin Liang at such a young age is simply shocking.

Sun Buzhou originally thought he was very talented in medicine, but after seeing Chen Xiao today, he instantly felt like a frog in a well.

However, Chen Xiao’s use of Tou Xin Liang and Shao Shan Huo was not to show off his skills, he had a purpose.

Under the burning of Shao Shan Huo, the strip-shaped bulge immediately stopped moving, but the bulge became higher and higher, as if the thing inside was struggling to get out.

“Sorry, Brother Qi, you’re going to suffer a little!”

Chen Xiao said apologetically, and before the words fell, he suddenly used a silver needle to cut an opening on the bulge.

In an instant, blood splattered from the wound.

And in addition to the red blood, a black thing also flew out of the wound.

Chen Xiao was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and directly grabbed the black thing.

When everyone saw it, their expressions changed drastically.

Especially Qi Qingfei, she almost screamed.

Because what Chen Xiao was holding in his hand was actually a small snake about an inch long.

And thinking that this little snake had actually been in her father’s body all along, Qi Qingfei couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine and her hair stand on end.

Chen Xiao asked slowly, “Does anyone here recognize this thing?”

Sun Buzhou said tentatively, “If I’m not mistaken, is this the Xuanyin Snake Gu?”

Chen Xiao nodded, “That’s right, this is the Xuanyin Snake Gu!”

“In fact, the Xuanyin Snake Gu itself is not poisonous, but it can accelerate the onset of toxins in the host’s body, similar to a catalyst in a chemical reaction. The reason why Brother Qi’s poison broke out early is because of this little thing!”

This is the benefit of having divine consciousness. In less than a minute after Chen Xiao entered this room, he had already seen all the problems in Qi Tianhu’s body clearly and came up with a solution.

“And the problem now is, who planted this Xuanyin Snake Gu in Brother Qi’s body?”

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly turning cold,

“Hehe, luckily, the Xuanyin Snake Gu has a characteristic: whenever it leaves the host’s body, it will quickly return to its owner.”

As he spoke, Chen Xiao released his fingers, and the Xuanyin Snake Gu swam towards one person.

That person was Luo Shu!
