Chapter 252 Natural Selection

Although this was what they were thinking, the Xiangzhong who came had no idea.

Now that the old Taoist priest had been taken in by Gu Chao, they couldn't find anyone, and saw these Taoist priests standing aside, so everyone's eyes fell on them.

No matter who encounters such a thing, it is impossible to remain calm, as this can cost lives.

Fortunately, they met Daochang Gu here today, otherwise, after they took that elixir made of resentment and went back, they wouldn't be waiting to die.

The elixir was given to them by the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple. Now that these Taoist priests are in front of them, how could they let it go.

So, everyone went directly to the Taoist priests. As for what they were going to do, of course it was to vent.

For a moment, the sounds inside the Taoist temple were the sounds of fists and feet mixed with cries of pain and begging for mercy and explanations.

Now, the angry people couldn't listen to their explanations. When they were almost beaten and another fight would kill someone, Gu Chao took action to stop them.

Based on the old Taoist priest's attitude towards the Taoist priest guarding the door, and their expressions after hearing her tell the whole story just now, Gu Chao could tell that these Taoist priests were probably unaware.

Therefore, if you vent your anger, you can't kill anyone.

After all, they really don't know anything, so don't blame those who don't know.

"We really didn't know this would happen. We were kept in the dark just like you."

"Yeah, if we knew it was this kind of thing that harmed people, we wouldn't have done it even if we were beaten to death."

"Really, we were all deceived by her."

The woman they were talking about was naturally the old Taoist priest. When the old Taoist priest paid to hire them, he only said that he was doing good deeds. How could he know that this would be the case.

They were just the name of the village. The old Taoist priest gave them money and said it was a good deed. For the sake of the money, they were naturally tempted.

After all, the money earned by being a Taoist priest is much more than the money they earn from growing crops at home, so they can still settle the account.

Seeing that these Taoist priests were beaten with bruises and bruises on their noses and faces, and had tears running down their cheeks, the incense crowd also believed in them.

But then they thought that these people were with the old Taoist priest, and they couldn't believe it, so they had to look at Gu Chao.

After seeing Gu Chao nodding, he felt relieved, "Since you were all deceived by that evil man, let me let you go. You must keep your eyes open and see clearly in the future. Don't be deceived again." ”

Several people nodded again and again and expressed their assurances.

In fact, they felt miserable because they were deceived and beaten for no reason. They were very innocent.

Moreover, if they go out and someone discovers that they were once from this Taoist temple, they might even be beaten.

After all, they have been here for such a long time, and many people have seen them, and many people personally took the elixir from their hands. It would be strange not to hit them.

Maybe they will be sent to the government?

If you encounter someone with a bad temper who has trouble at home, it is not impossible to beat them to death directly.

What should we do? Will they never go out again?

Several people had no other choice, so they wanted to ask Gu Chao for instructions, what should they do?

After all, Gu Chao is the most talkative and seems to be the most reliable here.

Because these Xiang people are now listening to Gu Chao. As long as Gu Chao speaks out, if they spread the word, some people should believe them.

"Director Gu, look, what are we going to do? I'm afraid we'll all be like rats in the street when we go out in the future, and everyone will shout and beat them up."

"Yes, you also know that we were all deceived by that evil person. We really don't know anything and are innocent."

"Please, please help us, we don't want to bear this reputation."

"There are people in the family, both senior and junior, who all point to us for food and livelihood. They will be implicated by us in the future. I'm afraid they won't be able to stay in the village."

It was this sentence that touched the hearts of others present.

Today's clan mentality is very heavy, and they are also very dependent on clan. People without clan are like duckweeds without roots, without even a place to take root.

If they really bear this bad reputation, they might be expelled from the clan.

Although they hated these people before, now that they had vented their anger, they got Gu Daozhang's nod, knowing that they were unaware, and forgave them.

Now that I see their pitiful looks and think that if what they said really comes true, they will not be able to live a normal life for the rest of their lives, I pity them.

"Daozhang Gu, please think of a way. They have also been deceived. Although they are helping others, but since they don't know about it, just help them."

"Hey, life is difficult for everyone these days. We are all trying to make a living."

Using oneself to save others, if they themselves were in the position of these people, they would feel the same way.

Even if it's not for yourself, for the sake of your whole family, you still have to prove your innocence, and you can't implicate your family or clan.

Gu Chao didn't have clan ideas before, but after coming here, he gradually started to think about it in Gujia Village.

Although she thought that the clan was also for the sake of the family members and future generations.

Generation, I still don’t have much respect.

However, based on her own thoughts, she could also think of the worries of these people now.

"Let's do this. Let's all go to the Yamen together later to explain the matter clearly, and then let the Yamen issue a notice, and the people will know about it."

It was also at this time that Gu Chao came up with this good idea. If someone from the government issued a notice, it would be much faster and more convincing to ask these people to go back and spread the message.

When everyone heard what Gu Chao said, they all felt it made sense and agreed with Gu Chao's words.

"Daozhang Gu is right. Let's go to the Yamen together to explain the matter clearly, so that those who have been deceived will know and don't end up losing their lives in vain."

"Yes, let's go together and let the county magistrate make a notice."

"Thank you, Daoist Gu. Please give me more help."

"Alas, you have also been deceived. We are not unreasonable people. Let's all go together."

Seeing the heated discussion among them, Gu Chao raised his hand and said, "This matter has been settled. The most urgent task now is to save the people who have taken the pill first."

Finally, when Gu Chao said he was going to save people, those who had taken the elixir breathed a long sigh of relief.

Others may not care about this because they have not eaten, but they have already eaten, and of course they are afraid.

That thing can kill people. It's in their stomachs. It's like a beheading knife hanging above their heads. It can kill them all at any time.

"Thank you for your hard work, Taoist Priest."

"Yes, yes, if Daoist Chief Gu hadn't come here today to find out, we wouldn't even know how we died."

"Isn't that right? Thank you so much, Mr. Gu."

"Taoist Master Gu is the real good man who helps people in need."

These words passed Gu Chao's ears, so forget it, she didn't come specifically for them today, it just happened to happen.

Gu Chao asked everyone who took the elixir to be in one place, which also made it easier for her to cast the spell.

"No matter what you see in a while, don't panic."

In fact, she herself didn't know what kind of thing she would come up with soon, but she still wanted to explain it clearly to them first, so that she could be mentally prepared to avoid panic later.

After hearing Gu Chao's words, everyone couldn't help but feel a little scared. They didn't know what horror or disgusting things they would see soon.

Even so, when Gu Chao started to cast the spell, they all gathered in a circle to watch out of curiosity.

People are so magical and strange. The more scared they are, the more curious they become.

Gu Chao didn't care about them. She had already reminded them anyway. If they wanted to come and see it themselves, of course she wouldn't bother to stop them. She didn't have the time to spare.

With so many people, it was impossible for Gu Chao to cast spells together. He could only come one by one like he did with Mr. Wang.

But fortunately, they just ate it, so it wasn't as serious as Wang's husband, and they were in good health, so she didn't need to worry too much about their physical condition.

In this way, she has less to worry about and can move faster.

The first person to solve it took less than half a stick of incense from start to finish.

Gu Chao could feel it when he was casting the spell. The thing was not connected to the host's body yet, so it was easy to pull it out without much involvement.

Although the host can feel some pain, it will not be as painful as Mr. Wang's.

In front of everyone, they all saw Gu Chao pulling out a lump of blood and flesh from the stomach of a middle-aged husband, with no visible shape at all.

And that thing is still moving, it's completely alive.

That thing just looked very disgusting, such a mass of crimson flesh and blood, still moving.

Anyone who thinks that this thing is in the human body, and that over time it will eat human flesh and become angry, and it will grow bigger and bigger, and who knows what it will look like later, will feel chills running down their backs. .

Especially the husband, the thing was taken out from his belly. He saw it with his own eyes, right in front of him, and his feeling was even greater.

What he was looking forward to wholeheartedly was a child, but it turned out to be such a disgusting thing. He really couldn't accept it and couldn't help but vomit it out immediately.

Accompanying him was his father. When he saw his son vomiting, he quickly came over to take care of him.

He felt uncomfortable looking at it, but this situation was better than taking his son's life.

It was better to find out and deal with it in time than to let his son suffer for ten months and end up taking his son's life.

Gu Chao did not expect that in just such a short time, the elixir would grow so fast once it entered the host's stomach.

It just looked like a pill, and it suddenly grew into a sarcoma found in my fist.

The thing she took out was similar to the one she took out from Mr. Wang's stomach earlier, except that it was smaller.

It was just one sarcoma, which had grown into multiple sarcomas mixed together, which gave people an even greater impact.

Gu Chao controlled the things he took out first, and then moved on to the next one.

One by one, the things taken out were almost the same. The only difference was that the longer the time passed, the bigger the things were.

Fortunately, it had only been eaten for a short time and it was not too big.

Gu Chao is still casting spells to save people.

Those who had been watching the discussion suddenly exclaimed.

"Look, he's actually fighting and still eating."

"Ugh..." This is the sound of someone vomiting because they can't stand it anymore.

After this person started, people started to vomit one after another.

Those things were really disgusting, and they couldn't help it.

Gu Chao put those things together. At the beginning, they were all fine and did not interfere with each other.

But then, they actually started to move, and then they seemed to be fighting. In the end, the one who didn't win was eaten by the one who won.

Is it really eating or just opening your mouth?

A lump of fleshy flesh actually had a mouth, and it still had sharp fangs. They could clearly see it when it opened its mouth. It was all over the mouth, in piles, and it looked even more terrifying than the fangs of wild beasts.

Moreover, the ones that were eaten were chewed up until blood splattered everywhere.

That scene made people's legs weak and their hearts trembling.

Gu Chaowei did not expect that putting them together would lead to such a situation, but it was already like this, and Gu Chaowei had no intention of stopping it and just let them kill each other.

When there was only one left, that one was now half the size of before.

It's not unreasonable for them to fight and eat. At least it can be seen that it is to strengthen themselves.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, is the truth everywhere.

However, this one looks too cruel and bloody.

There were still a few people left to finish. Gu Chao didn't want to use the remaining ones to feed this big one, so he put this one away first.

Then he continued to solve the remaining few, and then put them away individually.

These would have to be handed over to her after Zhang Ye arrived and let the people from Tianyi Sect study them, so she didn't want to take care of them anymore.

When she had time to study this, she would also set up swings for her husband and children.

When she came back, she kept saying she wanted to do it, but she never had time. When this matter was over and over for the time being, she was going to do it.

After everything was done here, Gu Chao led the people to the county government office.

To be honest, these villagers have never been to the Yamen. If they really had to go by themselves, they would still be scared.

It was only with the company of Gu Chao and the young lady who looked like she came from a wealthy family that they had the courage to enter the Yamen.

By the time a large group of them arrived at the county government office, it was already evening, and the county magistrate was having dinner.
