“By the way, do you know the origin of this curse?” An Rugu asked.

She had written down the fragment of the curse that Qian Weilai said aloud that day on a piece of paper. The Special Cases Management Bureau was still investigating it with all its powers.

Old Master Wang picked up the paper, glanced at it, and his eyes widened involuntarily with excitement. “This, this, this, this… this is very similar to the Ancient Gate Incantation! No, there are slight modifications. It’s been modified by inviting the Plague God to oversee things, making it even stronger.”

“Ancient Gate Incantation?”

Old Master Wang held the paper with great affection, saying, “This curse can be traced back to the time of the Yellow Emperor. It’s very mysterious. Zhuge Liang divided the world into three kingdoms, and Liu Bowen unified the world. Qimen Dunjia, Feng Shui, physiognomy… Liu Bowen knew everything, and he also studied ancient curses.

“Because I was interested, I searched for a long time, but I only found a few short incantations written by Liu Bowen. Alas, it is an evil art after all, so it is impossible for it to be widely spread.”

An Rugu lowered her eyes and asked curiously, “Did he have any disciples?”

“Of course there were. There were several recorded cases.”

“Is there someone named Su Qiao?”

“Never heard of it,” Old Master Wang shook his head. “Only the most capable people can be recorded in history books; the mediocre ones can’t.”

The words implied that the person was not capable or famous.

An Rugu didn’t say much but quietly said, “I understand.”

The Ever-burning Lantern had told her that she was on good terms with Su Qiao, who had given her a book of spells, which were of the same origin as the curse Qian Weilan had chanted.

She looked out the window; the Celestial Masters Mansion was originally shrouded in mist, but the fog gradually dissipated. If the leader of Youdu really was him, having lived for over four hundred years, something was definitely amiss. He should be dead.

There was no such thing as immortality in this world.

……..

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

“Come in!” Celestial Master Zhang said.

Liang Weiping led Lin Chuji and Wei Mingyan in.

After learning the truth about the family curse, Wei Mingyan called his family and told them everything.

His uncle, who was in charge of the Wei family, told him a lot of things.

As soon as he walked in, before he could even speak, he gave a bow to An Rugu, his eyes bloodshot. “Please, save my father.”

The other party could subdue the gu witch and resist the red silk threads. Celestial Master Zhang treated her with great respect. No one was more likely to find his father than her.

Even though his father was dead, he was determined to retrieve his body. He couldn’t allow that witch to use his father’s heart to raise her poisonous gu.

Wei Mingyan said, “If you can cure the people in my family and find my father’s heart, we will offer you half of our family’s assets.

“Furthermore, my father’s affairs are my personal entrustment, and I will hand over my property to you.”

This wasn’t something his family came up with on a whim but rather a long-established rule. They believed that money could move people’s hearts, and only by promising enough money could they mobilize insightful individuals.

However, he was overthinking it; An Rugu was only very interested in these gu worms.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to help the Wei family.

The gu witch wanted to harm her and had a grudge against her. She wasn’t a Bodhisattva without temper, so it was impossible for her not to fight back.

The gu witch cared about nothing else but hated the Wei family, so she decided to eliminate the Wei family’s gu worms.

Furthermore, this pair of lovelorn lovers have been entangled for years, causing the deaths of countless innocent members of the Wei clan, and they continued to do so, trampling on the bottom line of human law. They were already demons.

She then said, “I do have a solution.”

“What method?”

“How so?”

Even Celestial Master Zhang was somewhat curious. As a member of the mystical realms, the gu witch’s fate was obscured, making it impossible to calculate using information such as birth date and time. Moreover, the gu witch only controlled Old Master Wang’s body, never showing herself from beginning to end, not even leaving a single hair behind, so there was no need to discuss divination at all.

Celestial Master Zhang couldn’t help but wonder if her physiognomy skills had advanced to the point where she could calculate without needing birth date and other information.

“Do you have cinnabar and yellow paper?”

The young apprentice Liang Weiping said, “Yes! The Celestial Masters Mansion may lack everything else, but it should not be this.”

He brought in the finest cinnabar and yellow paper and laid it out on the entire table.

An Rugu walked into a quiet room, mobilized her qi, and wrote with flowing strokes, completing the work in one go, her qi continuously flowing.

A yellow talisman has been successfully drawn.

She took the talisman and returned to the room. “This is a locator spell. I once used it along with a shady contract left behind by some evil cultist to find his whereabouts. This red silk thread came from your father; I want to use it to find out where his heart is.”

With these red silk threads that originated from his father’s own body, that heart could be found no matter where it was taken.

Faced with pursuit by the Special Cases Management Bureau and the mystical Daoists, it was unknown how deep that witch’s obsession with that heart ran.

Would she abandon the heart and escape alone, or would she hold onto the heart and be captured?

The place where the gu witch hid must be full of gu, making it impossible to guard against being afflicted.

After sending the address to the Special Cases Management Bureau, An Rugu gave them many insect-repelling talismans that she had drawn herself, just in case.

The Wei family has spanned four generations and has over a hundred members. Many people were very excited when they heard the news and immediately came to the Celestial Masters Mansion to ask her to help expel the gu.

An Rugu has divided the insect-repelling talismans into three levels: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, with Level 1 being the most effective and Level 3 the least effective.

She only used level three spells on them.

Because the Wei family’s gu worms were deeply embedded in their hearts, removing them rashly would harm their health. Unlike Old Master Wang, whose infection was less severe and only required one treatment.

Theirs could only be removed gradually in batches; it could not be done all at once.

However, they were still very grateful, because they finally had a way to survive and wouldn’t have to die young.

After undergoing the deworming treatment, many people were filled with fear as they looked at the red silk threads crawling out of their palms. They were horrified to find such terrifying ancient worms inside their bodies.

An Rugu asked those who hadn’t come to find her at Cloud Rise Temple, then took her leave and flew back to the temple.

She never imagined that her trip would lead to such a strange new business: crafting insect repellents for both children and adults.

The next day, after calculating the time, it was time for the next livestream.

After opening the livestreaming app, countless viewers who had been waiting since early morning flooded into the livestream room.
