Ball Ball Cultivation

Chapter 471 Light and Dark21

The Miao village has regulations that prohibit members who practice advanced witchcraft from leaving the tribe. However, the rules for a maid like Hanhan to leave are not strict. As long as it is confirmed that she does not carry any secret books of Miao witchcraft, she will be allowed to leave.

Those Gu masters who have mastered advanced Gu techniques cannot access advanced Gu techniques unless they have fed Gu themselves for more than ten years and are familiar with the habits of various Gu insects.

So after the Holy Gu helped Ruizhi detoxify, Hanhan and Song Ruizhi held a simple engagement ceremony in the Miao village, presided over by the clan leader and the holy woman, and then left the Miao village along the same route.

The Holy Maiden of the Miao Village in Wan Gu Mountain will never marry, let alone have children. The clan leader and the Holy Maiden were former lovers. In order to avoid the selection of Holy Maidens, the Holy Maiden had sex with the clan leader before getting married. Legend has it that the Holy Maiden will only choose virgin girls for foster care.

However, things went against her wishes and Hanhan's mother was chosen by the Holy Gu to become the Holy Maiden of the Miao village.

But after becoming a saint, she discovered that she was pregnant.

Fortunately, I had just become a saint at that time, and I would have three to five years of secluded learning. Only the saint could learn the most core witchcraft.

In the name of seclusion, she stayed away from people, hid in the mountains, and gave birth to her daughter Hanhan.

At the same time, the Holy Gu actually laid twin eggs, which had never happened in history.

When a new Holy Gu appears, it will devour the old Holy Gu as nourishment. Seeing that the skinny little Holy Gu and its mother body were about to be devoured by the next generation of Holy Gu, the Holy Maiden couldn't bear it, so she transferred the skinny little Holy Gu to her newborn daughter's body, and she raised another powerful-looking Holy Gu herself.

When a saint raises a holy Gu, she nourishes it with the essence and blood in her body. The best foster body is an unmarried woman between the ages of twelve or thirteen and thirty-five.

Being too young and lacking in Qi and blood can also cause girls to not develop normally.

He is too old and the quality of his essence and blood has declined, which the Holy Gu does not like.

Retired saints who are older can maintain their youthful beauty by nourishing the Holy Gu all year round. Once the Holy Gu leaves the body, the life span of the old saint will be sharply reduced.

The saint insisted on sending Hanhan away, and she was even more afraid that her tribe would discover the other holy Gu sleeping in her body.

When selecting a saint, in addition to considering her talent in witchcraft and her ability to raise witches, the saint will be able to choose from several alternative saints herself.

The saint was afraid that the holy Gu would choose Hanhan and devour another holy Gu to become stronger, so she insisted on sending Hanhan away.

Another thing is to stay away from the Holy Gu, so that the Holy Gu dormant in Hanhan's body can wake up.

As for the patriarch, after his former lover became a saint, he used the saint's influence and became the new patriarch in just a few years.

Naturally, he knew that Hanhan was his daughter, but he had already married the daughter of the most influential elder in the clan, who assisted him in seizing the position of clan leader. He absolutely could not reveal Hanhan's true identity, otherwise he would let down both the Saint and Hanhan.

He was relieved that the Saint insisted on sending away Hanhan, the time bomb. Each Saint can only serve for 10 to 20 years, but the patriarch can serve until old age. He didn't want to reveal his relationship with Hanhan and fall into a situation where everyone would condemn him.

On the way back, Qiuqiu kept thinking about the violent Gu in Song Ruizhi's body, which had been there for five or six years. Although this Gu was simple, it was very sophisticated.

Without the control of the main Gu, people will just encounter unpleasant things and become more and more irritable. They will grow up with the host and slowly become transparent, looking like they are integrated into one, making it difficult to detect any clues.

There are no such insects in Wan Gu Mountain. It seems that they are not from the same system.

The poisonous insects in Wangu Mountain will be controlled by the King of Gu, the Holy Gu, or the Mother Gu. They will merge with the host silently and almost never affect the host slowly.

This is a completely different system of witchcraft!

Qiuqiu suspected that Song Ruizhi's poisonous insect was released by Concubine Xi's system!

As for why Song Rui was poisoned, Qiuqiu still doesn't know.

This time, the poisonous insect was able to be removed thanks to the suppression of the Holy Gu. Song Ruizhi then took various detoxifying herbs and the gall of the Bungarus viper to put the poisonous insect in a semi-awake state. Only by suppressing it with the Holy Gu could he maintain a calm state of mind, and only the Holy Gu could expel the violent Gu.

Mi Han, who is smaller and thinner than the average 11 or 12-year-old girl, was raised under the protection of the saint and became innocent and naive. The naive girl who was addicted to witchcraft learned that she was engaged and sent away, and now she is still in tears.

Bidding farewell to the familiar Miao village, Mihan stayed with her young fiancé Song Ruizhi.

Qiuqiu readily agreed to shelter Mi Han, and also wanted her to help find the source of the curse on Song Ruizhi.

Back at General Qi's mansion, Qi Jiguang treated Qiuqiu with utmost respect.

There was once a rumor that the Li family was able to conquer the world because the Zhang family was a family of mysterious arts and did not have the fate to become emperor, so the Li family got the advantage.

In order to tie down the proud son of the Zhang family, the Li family pushed out the eldest princess who was widowed, thus retaining the Zhang family for the Li family's use.

Qi Jiguang always felt that the rumors were exaggerated. On the battlefield, everything was fought with swords and guns. Even if those empty things had some effect, they were far inferior to the fighting between thousands of troops.

It was not until he bravely entered the Valley of Ghosts and came back alive that he deeply realized how powerful Xuanshi was.

Qiuqiu didn't want to go there again, so he broke into the Valley of Ghosts. He saw dead bones everywhere along the way, which showed the murderous intent along the way.

Among the thousand people led by Duke Anguo, only a few were harmed by poisonous weeds and insects along the way, and the rest were safely brought to the Ghost Valley.

He only used these thousand people to pacify the Ghost Valley, also known as the Tomb of the Living Dead.

Three traitors who were hiding here and colluding with foreign enemies were arrested, including the man in red. They were all brought to the capital and beheaded in public as traitors who had collaborated with the enemy and committed treason.

General Qi gave a warm welcome. Along the way, he saw that Qiuqiu was an expert in medicine and poisonology, so he put aside his pride and repeatedly asked Qiuqiu to come out and treat his child.

The Qi family did not give up on their youngest son, Qi Yuenu. In addition to the family's upright tradition, another major reason was that the child was born intelligent, and excessive intelligence would lead to harm.

His two older brothers are capable of maintaining the status quo, but it is his youngest son, who is unknown to outsiders, who has amazing talent.

Qiuqiu also wants to meet the think tank of General Qi’s mansion.

Qi Yuenu was born prematurely and was weak. Due to the heavy humidity in the south, she was often sick and also suffered from mild polio.

He is now fifteen years old, and he is indeed a handsome boy sitting there, but because his feet are concave and he walks awkwardly, he almost never walks, and his calves are severely underdeveloped.

In this era, children with defects will be considered unlucky and will be drowned by their relatives.

The Qi family secretly looked for a doctor and a Gu master to treat him.

This has not been happening overnight, and it is something that everyone in a position of power near Niangzi Pass knows well.

Yue Nu, who has been loved by his family since childhood, has a gentle and peaceful personality. He has been smart and open-minded since childhood. When he saw his father coming in person, he could only sit down and greet him politely.
