Chapter 38 The Thief
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master. I will always remember your great kindness..."
She was interrupted by Gu Changhuan before she finished speaking.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Whether you can survive or not depends on your own destiny."
Gu Changhuan shot it out of thin air, and the bottle of Qi-nourishing Pill was in his hands.
He poured out half of the elixir and said to the two middle-aged women.
"Can you please take her outside and tie her up, and then feed this to her. Remember, feed her one by one. If she is still alive after eating these pills, I won't care about her stealing them. The medicine thing.”
After saying that, he sneered and said to Gu Cai'er
"I've given you the opportunity. It's up to you whether you can survive."
Gu Changze knew that the way to survive that Gu Changhuan gave Gu Cai'er would not work unless a miracle happened.
If you are a master of the innate realm who has practiced martial arts, you will be injured if you take a few Qi-nourishing pills, not to mention that Gu Cai'er is just an ordinary mortal.
But Gu Cai'er didn't know how powerful these pills were. She only knew that these pills were treasures. Maybe after taking these elixirs, she can become a fairy as a blessing in disguise!
She was taken outside the courtyard obediently, and when she saw the helpers standing outside the courtyard at a loss, she lowered her head with guilt.
"Gu Cai'er stole the immortal's things and violated the clan rules. Young Master Chang Huan is kind and gives a lighter punishment. If Gu Cai'er can eat these pills and still survive, please spare her life!
I also ask everyone to be witnesses. As long as Gu Caier can survive after eating these, Master Chang Huan will not punish her! "
Two middle-aged women tied Gu Cai'er to a tree with their hands and feet.
After swallowing the first pill, Gu Cai'er let out a cry of pain. Her whole body turned red and her temples bulged.
In the courtyard, Gu Changhuan took a sip of tea.
Gu Changze sighed, "There is no way for misfortunes and blessings, we can only bring them to ourselves!"
Chief Gu's face was expressionless, "There are no rules, there are no rules. What's more, the rules are there. I gave her a chance before, but she didn't grasp it."
"What Seventeenth Brother said is reasonable. If we are not punished today, all the handymen will follow suit in the future, and Bifeng Mountain will be in chaos. We can't let the clansmen go home to kill after all their hard work outside."
After the second pill fell into her stomach, Gu Cai'er's seven orifices were bleeding. It was as if there was a wild beast hiding under her skin, and it was about to break out at any time.
She howled in pain, clenching her hands into fists and struggling hard with her upper body, but being tied up with hemp ropes as thick as a baby's arms, her efforts were in vain.
After a few breaths, and seeing that she was still alive, a middle-aged woman fed her another pill with trembling hands. The other handymen looked at Gu Cai'er with horror on their faces. They saw her face was bleeding from all her orifices, and her skin bulged from time to time, as if she was about to explode at any moment. ŴŴŴ.
After the third meal, Gu Cai'er seemed to hear something breaking in her stomach. Her eyes were filled with blood, and her ears were filled with buzzing.
Suddenly she vomited and spit out something.
Like viscera.
After a few more breaths, Gu Cai'er suddenly let out a whine, then loosened her fist and completely lost her breath.
The middle-aged woman replied with a pale face.
"Two young masters, Gu Cai'er didn't hold on and is already dead. This is the remaining elixir."
"I would also like to trouble you to deal with the scene. In addition, those who came to help today will be paid an extra three months." Gu Changhuan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Changhuan!" The middle-aged woman exited the courtyard tremblingly. He walked outside the courtyard and described what Gu Changhuan said.
The servants didn't look very well, and some who couldn't bear it even ran to the corner and vomited. They were not here to help, they were clearly here to watch the execution!
Gu Changze smiled, "What is this? Compensation for mental damage?"
"So be it."
When Gu Changze walked out of the courtyard, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood still lingering in the air. Gu Cai'er made a wrong move and got himself killed. This is true for mortals, and it is also true for immortal cultivators.
If he is unlucky and dies outside in the future, maybe no one will even collect the body.
Every year, several members of the Gu family lose several immortal cultivators due to various reasons. If they are lucky enough to die, their bodies will be found and taken back to Bifeng Mountain for burial. Those who are unlucky will have to wait until the soul lamp is extinguished. After confirming the death, just set up a cenotaph in the family cemetery.
The immortal cultivators of the Gu family found that the mortal servants on Bifeng Mountain were not looking very well recently, wondering if they were sick or something.
But there is spiritual energy on Bifeng Mountain, so mortals should not get sick easily even if they are weak! Still at the same time!
There were curious inquiries, but the servants were hesitant and refused to say anything.
The handymen refused to say anything, but they did not delay their work, and even did their work more carefully, so the Gu family's immortal cultivators didn't care too much.
How Gu Changhuan punished Gu Cai'er and the whole story of the practice had long been spread among the handymen. Many of the handymen respected and feared Gu Changhuan's methods.
They also understood that this was Gu Changhuan's warning to them: There is no benefit in stealing the property of immortal cultivators, only death! Moreover, if mortals use the things used by cultivators, they will die!
After Gu Changhuan's beating and Gu Cai'er's bloody example before their eyes, the budding thoughts of several people were nipped in the wind.
Let’s just do it honestly on Bifeng Mountain! Wouldn’t it be great to work for a few years and go home to be a rich man? Why risk your life for something you can't use?
Naturally, this matter cannot escape the discernment of Gu Wanchang, the head of the Gu family.
Gu Wanchang received the news when Gu Changze brought a bunch of mortals to find Gu Changhuan.
After understanding the whole story, he was very satisfied with Gu Changhuan's way of handling the matter.
He dealt with the offender without leaving any words. Asking everyone to watch the execution was a way of showing respect, so that they knew the consequences of violating the clan rules. Afterwards, he gave them a few months' salary, which was a favor, so that they knew that if they did their job honestly, they would get benefits.
Only by combining kindness and power can it last long.
It seems that although Changhuan has been busy practicing in the market, he still has his own ways in dealing with people.
In the future, they don't have to worry too much about this child's incompetence and causing trouble.
What Gu Wanchang knew, he would naturally tell Gu Wanhao.
Gu Wanhao was refining pills recently, and he was relieved after hearing about this.
However...
He remembered the communication talisman that Gu Xuanzhan sent to him on the night he returned to Bifeng Mountain, and his face became serious again.
We still have to try again!
Before Gu Shiwen's foundation-building celebration, Gu Changhuan's cultivation had returned to the late stage of Qi training.
After that, Gu Changhuan gritted his teeth and used the Soul Tempering Plate again. This time, his cultivation only dropped a lot from the seventh level of Qi training, and he did not drop in realm.
Gu Changhuan was still not satisfied with this result. He wanted to be able to sit on the Soul Tempering Plate one day without losing any spiritual power, and that would be considered a success.
Gu Shiwen's foundation-building celebration was held smoothly, and the other three families in Jiuqi Mountain Range also came to congratulate him.
