Gu Master: "It's just a bell, about the size of a baby's fist."
The Gu Master added, "The Soul-Guiding Bell must not be damaged. Once it is damaged, the Gu worm will remain in the body of the person afflicted with the Gu forever and cannot be drawn out. Within a few days, the person afflicted with the Gu will die because the Gu worm goes berserk."
Mo Zhonggui's expression turned serious: "Alright, I'll send someone to investigate first."
Shen Lingjun interjected, "Master, do you have any way to make my mother fall into a deep sleep? She's been in this state for so long, even a person made of iron couldn't take it. I'm afraid she won't last more than a few days."
The Gu Master looked at the Wen family again: "I'll give it a try."
The Gu Master didn't use any medicine or incense; instead, he took out a small, oddly shaped percussion instrument and gently tapped it near Wen's ear.
The sound was very soft and pleasant, but the rhythm had an indescribable eeriness, carrying a bewitching power that made people drowsy and confused.
As the tapping sounded, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, Wen's eyes gradually closed, and she fell asleep.
Shen Lingjun and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Gu Master put away his instrument and said, "I have temporarily calmed down the Gu worms, but this method will lose its effectiveness if used too often. It can probably only be used two or three times to delay things for three to five days. Your Excellency still needs to hurry."
Mo Zhonggui immediately got up and left.
Shen Lingjun and the rest of the Shen family exchanged glances and sighed.
Shen Wei stood up, looking tired, and said, "I'll also send someone to keep an eye on Huo Sizhen."
Although the Shen family's capabilities in this area are far inferior to those of the Eastern Depot, they can't just leave everything to Mo Chonggui; they can't just sit here and wait.
Shen Lingjun did not return to the Yongning Marquis's residence; instead, she stayed here to take care of Madam Wen for two days.
After Wen fell into a coma, she still refused to eat or drink and had to be force-fed. However, she calmed down and was no longer so distressing to see.
Two days later, Mo Chonggui came to the Shen residence again.
"We've found out that Huo Sizhen has a young advisor who is actually a Gu master from the Southern Frontier. The Soul-Guiding Bell has also been found, but it's very difficult to steal, and we haven't found a suitable opportunity yet."
Although the soul-guiding bell was just a bell, it was tied to the young Gu master's braid and he would never take it off, day or night, and it would ring when touched.
Mo Zhonggui had finally managed to send someone to infiltrate the Gu Master's side, hoping to steal the bell while he slept. However, the Gu Master was covered in Gu worms, making it impossible to get close while he was asleep, and the person almost got bitten.
If they tried to forcibly take it, they were afraid that if the Gu Master discovered it, he would immediately destroy the Soul-Guiding Bell, and that would be the end of them.
Upon hearing this, Shen Lingjun immediately stood up.
"I'm going to steal it!"
Her space!
This is a stealth marvel! Now's the perfect time to use it!
Her space can hold anything within a three-foot radius without needing to touch the bell; there's no issue of the bell ringing.
Even if she's covered in Gu worms, she doesn't need to get too close, so she's not afraid!
