REVEREND INSANITY
Chapter 14: In the mountain pass hides a profound theory

The Liquor Worm was shaped like a silkworm, its entire body emitting a pearl-white light. It was a little fat and had a cute appearance.

Liquor worms eat wine and can fly. When flying, he would curl up into a ball, and his speed was extremely fast. Although it was only Gu Rank one, but its value was even more than some Gu rank two.

To make it into one's vital Gu was much more beneficial than Moonlight Gu.

Currently the Liquor worm was fixated on a bamboo pole that was only 50-60 steps away from Fang Yuan. He held his breath, not approaching rashly, but slowly walked backwards.

He knew the distance was very close, but to actually catch the Liquor worm directly, it was an extremely difficult task for a Master Gu who had just opened an ancient pit like him. You could say, there is absolutely no hope for success.

Fang Yuan was unable to see the Liquor worm clearly, but in the darkness he could feel the Liquor worm directing its vigilance at him. He slowly retreated gently, trying his best not to disturb the Liquor worm.

He knew that if the Liquor worm flew, he would never be able to catch up to his own speed. He needed to wait until the Liquor worm drank to a hangover, and then with his slowing flying speed he would have a chance to catch it.

Seeing Fang Yuan retreat further, the Liquor worm crawled on the bamboo pole moving. The strong aroma of wine earlier was so tempting, so alluring, that it made the worms get lost in daydreams. If there was saliva, it would long drool around it.

But the Liquor worm is very alert and alert. Only after Fang Yuan retreated 200 steps back did it shrink slightly and bounce into the air. When flying high in the air, his body curled up into a ball, looking like a small white rice dumpling. The small dumplings swept through the air in a circular shape, floating on the grass sprinkled with green bamboo wine earlier.

With a delicious meal right before his eyes, the Liquor worm lowered its vigilance. Impatiently he climbed onto the flower bud filled with wine and took out his small head, leaving only a fat tail outside.

Liquor Worms are extremely voracious, and green bamboo grapes are delicious. It opened its mouth wide and inhaled, very quickly lost in its delicacy of food, completely forgetting Fang Yuan.

At this moment, Fang Yuan began to approach cautiously. He could see the tail of the Liquor worm outside the flower bud. This tail is like the tail of a silkworm, fat and round. The light it emitted made people think about pearls.

At first, the tail of the Liquor worm hung outside, motionless. Then after a while, this tail began to curve upward, indicating that he was actually drinking happily. In the end when Fang Yuan was only ten steps away, his tail began to sway and swing with a cheerful rhythm.

It was really drunk!

Seeing this made Fang Yuan almost laugh. He did not continue walking forward, but patiently waited. If he were to hurry now, he would definitely have a great chance of catching the Liquor worm, but Fang Yuan's intention was for this Liquor worm to guide him to the remains of the Vine Flower Monk.

In an instant, the Liquor worm withdrew from the flower bud. His body was fatter and his head swayed, resembling a drunken person. Unexpectedly it was unaware of Fang Yuan's presence. It rose to another bright yellow flower and perched on the stamens, wholeheartedly eating the drops of wine there.

This time after finishing drinking, I finally felt full. His body slowly shrank into a round ball and slowly flew away. When he was 1.5 meters above the ground, he casually flew towards the deeper part of the bamboo forest.

Fang Yuan quickly followed in his footsteps.

Liquor's worm was already heavily intoxicated, making it fly at a slower half of its usual speed. Although this was the case, Fang Yuan still had to run with all his might to follow his shadow.

Night swept his gaze as the young teenager ran in the bamboo forest, chasing the small snowflakes not far ahead.

The moonlight was soft, the breeze was slow and steady. In the clear pond-like bamboo forest, a green spear bamboo trunk flashed before his eyes, quickly falling behind him. The ground was a stretch of green grass, filled with blooming wildflowers. There were small stones with moss growing, and yellow bamboo shoots.

Fang Yuan's faint shadow also sped forward on the ground, passing through the shadow that every bamboo rod cast onto the earth like a black line. He tightly kept his gaze on the snowflakes, inhaling a large amount of fresh mountain air, ordering his feet to give chase amidst the faint scent of wine in the air.

Due to his speed, the moonlight looked like tears in his eyes. Light and shadow were often moving around, like he was galloping in the seaweed-filled water.

Liquor Worms flew out of the bamboo forest, as did Fang Yuan. The sea of white flowers with yellow spots in the middle borrowed the wind from his feet, spreading his petals. A group of Dragonpill crickets that resembled flowing poetry happened to be moving forward; as Fang Yuan dashed past him, there was a swoosh and a red cloud blooming in front of him, it spread around a sea of red star fireflies that emerged from the clouds.

A calm mountain stream paved with pebbles, the gurgling water surface reflected the spring moon in the night sky; with a few splashes, Fang Yuan waded through, creating thousands of silver-colored ripples.

It is unfortunate that this river, after so long, its beautiful and precious stones were trampled and broken.

Fang Yuan was chasing, firmly following behind the Liquor worm. Climbing up the mountain stream, he could already hear the sound of a waterfall. After he turned around in the sparse forest, he saw the Liquor worm flying into the crack in the middle of the boulder.

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up and he stopped in his tracks.

"So here." He was panting, his heart racing in his chest like a madman. With this one stop he could feel his entire body sweating, hot air flowing all over his body accompanying his increasingly rapid blood flow.

Looking around, he found that this place was a shallow bench (1).

Behind Qing Mao Mountain was a huge waterfall. The flow of the waterfall varies with the weather; it falls to the earth, pounding a deep pool. Beside the deep pool was the Bai Clan Village, a clan with strong influence comparable to the Gu Yue village.

The waterfall branched into many smaller branches, and it was clear that Fang Yuan was facing one of the many branch branches. On normal occasions, the plains are dry, but due to the recent heavy rains that lasted for three days and three nights, shallow rivers form here.

The source of the flowing stream came from the huge rock that the Liquor worm had entered before.

The stone rests on a vertical mountain wall. The small waterfall that branched off from the main waterfall was like a silver python that flowed down the mountain wall, crashing into a huge rock. After a long time the middle of this huge rock has eroded and formed a gap.

At this moment as the waterfall flowed, the water current gently roared. It was like a white curtain, completely blocking the gap in the stone.

After observing his surroundings, Fang Yuan's breathing was no longer anxious. His eyes shone with a hint of determination; he walked up to the boulder and took a deep breath, then he rushed in first.

The stone crevice was rather large, and two adult humans could walk side by side in it without any problems. What else could be said with Fang Yuan, who was just a 15-year-old teenage boy?

As soon as he rushed in, a torrent of water pressed down on Fang Yuan's body. At the same time cold water quickly wetted it from head to toe. Fang Yuan struggled against the water pressure, moving at a rapid pace forward. As he walked a few dozen steps, the water pressure began to decrease.

But the space in the crack also began to shrink, and Fang Yuan could only walk sideways. His ears were filled with the roar of water, the top of his head was a white sheet, and deeper into the stone was a black darkness.

What is hiding in the dark?

It could be a poisonous snake, but it could also be a poisonous gecko. Perhaps it was a trap set by the Wine Flower Monk, or perhaps it was empty.

Fang Yuan could only continue advancing by walking sideways, slowly creeping into the darkness. The water no longer soaked his head; the walls of his stone were covered in moss, grazing on his skin, feeling slippery. Immediately he was engulfed by the darkness, and the stone slit became even narrower, pressing down on his surroundings. Gradually even his skull could not rotate freely. Still Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and continued forward.

After walking another twenty steps, he realized that there was a bright red shadow in the darkness. At first, he thought it was just an illusion. But when he blinked and focused, he began to make sure that this was indeed light!

This awareness made him renew his spirit.

He continued walking for another fifty to sixty steps, the red light getting brighter. In his eyes, the light slowly expanded into long, vertical, and smooth stitches.

He stretched out his left arm, suddenly feeling that the wall in front had been bent. At once he rejoiced, knowing that there was a sealed space inside the boulder. With a few more steps he finally rushed into this light stitch.

His eyes were greeted with a view of the cage covering an area of about 80 meters².

“I've been walking for so long. With this distance I have long since passed a boulder, so I should be at the heart of the mountain cliff now. ” As he measured this hidden space, he moved his hands and feet, stretching his limbs.

The entire room was filled with a dim red light, but he did not know where the light was coming from. The stone walls were damp and covered in moss, but the air here was very dry. On the wall there were also some withered vines. The vines intertwine with each other, weaving on half the surface of the wall. There were even some withered flowers growing on the vines.

Fang Yuan looked at the remains of these flowers and leaves, feeling somewhat familiar.

"This is Gu Flower Sack Wine, and Gu Grass Pouch Rice." Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind and he could recognize these withered stems and vines.

Gu comes in many shapes and forms. Some were like mineral stones like the blue crystal form of Moonlight Gu. Some come in the form of worms, such as Liquor worms like silkworms. There were also flowering grassy types, such as Gu Flower Sack Wine and Gu Grass Pouch Rice before Fang Yuan.

These two types of Gu were naturally rank one Gu. Only by pouring out the primordial essence could they grow. Once grown, the center of the flower will bring out the vine nectar of the flower, and the grass pouch will grow fragrant rice.

Fang Yuan moved his line of sight along the vines, and of course he found a pile of withered roots gathered into a ball-shaped clump in the corner. Liquor worm was resting on a clump of dead roots, sleeping soundly. It's been easy to reach.

Fang Yuan walked over and carried the Liquor worm into his arms. Then he kneeled down and plucked out the dead vines, finding a pile of skeletal bones encased within them.

“Finally I found you, Wine Flower Monk.” There was a smile on his lips when he saw this.

Just as he was about to stretch out his hand and disarm the remaining vines, all of a sudden

“Try touch?” A voice full of killing intent suddenly sounded behind Fang Yuan.
