In "Gu Dao Zhuang Mo Jing," there are indeed records of how to refine a Ben Ming Gu. Once it becomes my Ben Ming Gu, the worm will lose its freedom and must follow me forever.
The worm stopped writhing and turned to look at me.
I felt a bit embarrassed as I scratched my head. After all, such matters could easily make one feel like they were taking advantage of someone or had ulterior motives. "As long as you’re willing to become my Ben Ming Gu, you can borrow my body and escape from this cursed place. The downside is that you’ll have to stay with me from now on. Of course, this is just a suggestion; if you don’t want to, just wait. I’ll go back and find my master; he must have a way to rescue you."
"If you’re willing, just nod your head. I promise I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do; we’ll be good brothers, good pals..."
"But my master is the kind of person who’s elusive, so it might take some time for you to wait..."
"I swear, no matter what choice you make, my promise remains unchanged..."
I rambled on incoherently for quite a while, raising my hand to prepare for an oath when I suddenly saw the massive creature before me rapidly transform into a silkworm the size of a finger.
Excitedly, I asked again, "Are you willing to come with me? What if I’m a bad person? Once you become my Ben Ming Gu, I could force you to do bad things!"
The worm rolled its eyes at me.
I rubbed my hands together excitedly, pacing back and forth in circles. After a long while, I finally calmed down and reviewed the method for creating a Ben Ming Gu several times until I was sure I had it memorized before preparing to proceed with the binding.
The method itself was quite simple: first, communicate with the worm so that neither party harbors any thoughts of resistance. Then, drop the blood essence of the binder into the body of the Gu Worm and assist it in absorbing the blood essence.
Though it seemed simple, since the worm wasn’t one I had raised myself, I wondered if there would be any obstacles in conveying my intentions.
I sat cross-legged on the ground and squeezed out a drop of blood essence from my fingertip, letting it fall onto the worm's forehead.
Drip...
Fresh red blood dripped onto the smooth head of the creature, yet it did not slide off; instead, it was bizarrely absorbed into it.
Seeing the blood being absorbed, I felt relieved and was about to put my bitten finger into my mouth to suck on it.
But suddenly, a swirling vortex appeared on the creature's forehead, pinning my hand in mid-air. Instinctively, I tried to pull my hand back, but despite using all my strength, my arm felt as if it were frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
The vortex spun faster and faster, and I watched as blood gushed from the wound on my finger.
I kept reassuring myself, "It's just a little blood. Once I get out of here, I can eat a few Black Chickens to make up for it."
But the blood gushing out was like a running tap; how could I just let it flow?
When I finally realized something was wrong, the first thought that crossed my mind was to cut off the guard's head—perhaps there would still be a chance to survive. But then I thought, if I did that and no one tended to my wound, wouldn’t I just bleed to death?
As the blood continued to pour out, I felt lighter and lighter. The world around me began to spin wildly, and then I lost consciousness.
The last thought in my mind was how unfortunate I was; just when I was about to make a breakthrough, I ended up falling flat.
When I woke up again, it was to a cacophony of nagging voices in my head.
“Wake up, wake up, wake up…”
My head felt heavy, and the repetitive chanting only added to my confusion. “Who are you?” I asked.
“Aren't you supposed to take me out? Hurry up! I can't even remember the last time I went outside!” A voice that sounded impatient and somewhat lewd echoed in my mind.
“Are you a Gu?” I asked in surprise.
“Gu: Fool!”
“You're quite bold for someone so clueless. How dare you use me as a Ben Ming Gu? If I hadn't forcefully cut off the ritual at the last moment, you would have probably turned into a Gan Shi by now.”
I chuckled awkwardly, “Since we’re all family, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Recalling the blood that had poured out like an opened faucet before I lost consciousness, the Gu's words were not exaggerated.
I approached the cave entrance cautiously, first extending a hand as if there were an invisible barrier in front of me, then slowly maneuvering my body out.
Once I was fully outside, I looked down to see a pool of water that resembled jade. Without hesitation, I leaped into the deep pool.
Although it was winter, the southern region wasn't too cold. After spending so much time in the cave, I was filthy and smelly. After taking a bath, I felt completely refreshed.
However, things became awkward afterward…
The clothes in my Qiankun Bag were gone, leaving only a thin blanket.
In my excitement, I hadn’t thought about this. Looking around, the forest was dense, seemingly deep within the mountains. So I wrapped myself in the blanket and gathered some dry firewood, planning to dry my clothes before setting off.
Even though it was about ten degrees outside, having just bathed and feeling the wind blow over me was truly…
The wind made everything feel chilly…
A faint sadness lingered in my heart.
As I roasted the fire, I pondered over the fact that we already had Fo Zhang and Buddha Sound at home, and now there was this big bug. What name should I give it? Tentatively, I asked, "Great Bug, can we discuss something?"
The Bug's voice sounded as if it had drunk too much, half-awake and half-asleep. "Speak, or just let it out..."
"How about I give you a name? Calling you 'Bug' feels quite awkward. Since you are now considered mine, with Fo Zhang and Buddha Sound at home, why not call you... Buddha Melon?"
The Bug fell silent for a long time. I thought it would explode in anger, but instead, it simply replied, "A name is just a code; you can call me whatever you want. But one condition—I have to be the boss."
I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and I felt an immense excitement inside me. After all, when they met later on, whether Fo Melon could become the boss would depend on its abilities.
Curiosity got the better of me again. "So, Fo Melon, are you male or female? When the time comes to find a suitable partner for you, I can help with matchmaking."
The Bug impatiently replied, "Common sense... I was born and raised in the wild; what do I care about male or female? You should know that in this world, any spiritual being has no distinction of gender!"
I widened my eyes in shock. "Wait, so you're hermaphroditic? No distinction between male and female..."
Fo Melon: "I curse your immortal board..."
To soothe Fo Melon's wounded spirit, I went to the river and caught fish, roasting more than ten of them. Only then did Fo Melon grumble and go back to sleep.
But returning meant going back into my body...
Watching Fo Melon crawl onto my shoulder, I quickly covered my mouth. What? Did this guy really intend to crawl into my mouth?
I couldn't help but retch. "You actually took advantage of me while I was unconscious..."
"Do you think covering your mouth will stop me?" he replied, his eyes scanning every possible opening on my body before finally resting on my backside.
I felt a sudden tightness, and instinctively covered my mouth with one hand while the other protected my modesty.
When it came to my virtue, I was determined to resist at all costs.
He sighed, "There has to be a first time for everything. You'll get used to it."
I was left speechless.
