When they arrived at the temple, Liu Sanniang and Lin Jie looked at it from afar. The temple was actually a cave. There were several people guarding outside the cave. It was not easy to sneak in. Lin Jie said in a low voice, “Shifu, if we get close, we’ll probably alarm them.”
Liu Erlang had yet to be found. If these people were alerted, it would probably be even more disadvantageous to the search.
Liu Sanniang said softly, “We are not going to enter.”
There were several people guarding the cave. The best way to investigate was by using their spiritual sense.
Lin Jie nodded and found a hidden place with Liu Sanniang. Lin Jie said to Liu Sanniang, “Shifu, go ahead. I’ll guard you.”
Before Liu Sanniang could respond, Lin Jie blurted out, “If you don’t believe me, then forget it.”
After saying that, Lin Jie regretted it, but sometimes, he just couldn’t control himself from being sensitive.
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Lin Jie’s head. “Be careful.”
Liu Sanniang closed her eyes and did not move.
Lin Jiao could feel that Liu Sanniang’s spiritual sense had gone very far like a gust of wind. Lin Jie looked quietly at Liu Sanniang, whose body was motionless.
Why did she trust him so much? If he hated her, wouldn’t this be the best chance to kill her?
Lin Jie guarded Liu Sanniang with extreme vigilance.
Even though he didn’t want to admit it, he knew very well that he had already treated Liu Sanniang as his family.
The few villagers guarding the temple were quietly keeping watch. When a cold wind blew over, they shrunk their necks and looked around warily.
In the dark night, it was silent and nothing seemed wrong. However, in fact, Liu Sanniang had already entered the cave.
The cave was very humid. She could feel the moisture in the cave. It was very dim. When she went in, she could see a white cocoon. It was very big.
As she got closer, Liu Sanniang recognized that it was a person wrapped in white silk. She could vaguely see that the person inside was already bone skinny and dead.
Further in, there were more cocoons like this. Some were thick and some were thin.
Liu Sanniang searched inside and saw Zheng Lianda. Zheng Lianda’s eyes were wide open and he was breathing weakly. His expression was ferocious and painful, and there seemed to be worms coming out of his flesh.
Zheng Lianda did not seem to be dead yet, but he could no longer be saved.
People had to pay the price for their greed.
Soon, she reached the end of the cave. Liu Sanniang found Liu Erlang with his eyes closed.
She leaned over and called softly, “Second Brother, Second Brother, wake up.”
Liu Erlang was not dead yet. He only looked like he had fallen into an eternal sleep. Liu Sanniang saw that his lips were a little black, but there were no worms on his skin. However, this cave was where people were used to raise worms. Since Liu Erlang was here, there must be worm larvae in his body.
Liu Erlang did not move. His head was lowered, and his hands were hanging by his sides. Behind him, a hook was hooked to the belt at his waist, making him lean against the stone wall like a cocoon.
Looking at the cocoons, Liu Sanniang knew that it would take time for the larvae to take shape. Only when they grew and took shape would they completely devour people.
Such a vicious refinement method was extremely immoral.
It was difficult to raise a worm king, and using humans to raise worms would increase the chance.
Liu Sanniang’s heart sank, but no matter how she called out, Liu Erlang did not respond.
Liu Sanniang was a little anxious. “Second Brother, Second Brother, wake up. Wake up.”
Logically speaking, her second brother was not dead yet. If someone shouted, he would hear it, but Liu Erlang still did not respond.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside.
Not long after, someone came in and went straight to the unformed cocoons. He opened the mouth and stuffed a pill into it.
Then, he used a brush to wet the human head with blue water.
Soon, it was Liu Erlang’s turn. During the process, Liu Erlang did not move.
On the other hand, Zheng Lianda moaned. His voice was very soft, but in this quiet cave, it sounded loud.
Zheng Lianda was still conscious, but there was nothing he could do.
Liu Sanniang noticed him. After the villagers fed him something, the flesh on his face bulged one after another, as if something was moving underneath it. As for the others, they seemed to have fallen asleep and did not change much.
Liu Sanniang was worried. It had been a few days since Liu Erlang was kidnapped.
Liu Sanniang’s heart ached. If anyone saw her now, they would see the tears on her face and the expression of fear.
When Liu Sanniang came out of the cave, no one noticed her. She returned to her body and opened her eyes. Her cold expression frightened Lin Jie. Lin Jie asked worriedly, “Shifu, what’s wrong?”
Liu Sanniang thought of Liu Erlang, who was used as a container to refine worms in the cave, and her eyes turned even colder.
Lin Jie immediately thought of Liu Erlang. He clenched his fists. “Shifu, let me just destroy this place to save Second Uncle first.”
After saying that, Lin Jie gritted his teeth. He did not know if Liu Erlang was dead. Previously, he hoped to see a sad expression on Liu Sanniang’s face, but when he really saw it, he felt extremely sad.
He was not happy at all. Instead, he felt terrible.
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Lin Jie’s head. “Let’s go.”
Lin Jie took the initiative to hold Liu Sanniang’s hand. His eyes were filled with tears as he said in a choked voice, “Shifu, I’m sorry.”
Lin Jie felt guilty. Even though he did not do anything, he still felt guilty. He wondered if things turned out like this because of his existence.
Lin Jie wanted to give Liu Sanniang power to tell her that he was with her..
