The Situ family is known for its excellent medical skills.

However, no one knows why they are so proficient in medicine.

At first, Situ Shanping had wondered if someone in their family was born with a high talent for medicine, so he passed down countless potion formulas with unique skills and characteristics.

However, the words of Situ Shanping's parents completely overturned all his past speculations.

They told him that the medical skills and potion formulas used by the Situ family were nothing more than fragments of medical books left by their ancestors in previous generations, and that none of them had succeeded in inheriting the true essence of the Situ family's medical skills so far.

It turned out that since thousands of years ago, Situ Yimen had obtained hundreds of volumes of medical classics drawn by bamboo slips due to various coincidences.

But it was not an ordinary medical classic, but a Gu medical classic.

That's right, their family's biggest support is not traditional medicine, but Gu art.

This is why Situ Cao once mentioned that their family's current methods of treating diseases are always completely different from those of other medical families, and the methods they use are also very strange, which are not tolerated by most of the medical world, and even gradually marginalized.

In fact, the biggest reason is that the techniques they use are more or less influenced by the Situ family's past Gu therapy therapy, so at some times the treatment methods are more ruthless and brutal, and even in order to achieve the goal, some methods that are unacceptable to ordinary people are used.

At that time, it was precisely because the Gu technique spread by the Situ family was difficult to control, and even many people were regurgitated because of the Gu technique, countless Gu worms in the whole body drilled out of the pores, blood continued to flow out, and then the human body slowly turned into pus until death.

The horror of the death can be imagined.

So when it came to the grandfather's generation of Situ Shanping's grandfather, he finally made up his mind to no longer use Gu art as the main means of treatment, but slowly changed to orthodox medical skills, although in some cases, their treatment methods still have the shadow of Gu art treatment, but in high probability it is already very small.

In the past, they could have dealt with most patients with traditional medical techniques alone, but now this is different.

Because of Situ's good looks, the reputation of the Situ family was greatly damaged, and their family began to decline.

Shanping's parents didn't want to see the career and reputation left by their ancestors ruined, so after thinking about it for a while, they decided to tell Situ Shanping the family's secret, hoping that he could use this secret to help the Situ family rebuild its glory.

After all, they had ready-made Gu worms, and with Situ Shanping's existing medical skills, it shouldn't take long to simply practice a few tricks.

After hearing all this, Situ Shanping still had a lot of worries in his heart, after all, as his parents said, there was a certain risk in practicing Gu arts, and there was even a certain probability of death.

He told his parents about his concerns, but his parents mentioned another secret.

In fact, they have thought about this before.

His parents carefully investigated the people of the Situ family who died because of practicing Gu art in the past.

Then they discovered a strange place.

That is, the probability of death for men practicing Gu art is much higher than that of women, and the probability of death for women learning Gu art is almost zero.

Originally, they planned to let Shanrong learn Gu arts, but ...... Her current state is really not suitable for her to do anything else.

With the current situation of the Situ family, they don't have time to wait for Shanrong to fully recover.

Hearing this, Seohei finally understood. He understood why the Situ family did not favor sons over daughters like other families in the past dynasties, on the contrary, the Situ family always regarded the status of men and women as equal as possible, and even in some cases, the status of women was much higher than that of men.

It turned out to be because of this.

Since Situ Shanping's generation, there were only two people, Shanping and Shanrong, and since Shanrong couldn't do it, then only he, the eldest son, could practice.

Parents begged Shanping, as long as his generation took the risk of practicing Gu Technique successfully, and in each subsequent generation, he only needed to leave a message and only let women learn Gu Technique, then the probability of his death would be greatly reduced.

For the sake of his family's fame and reputation, but also for the sake of future generations, he had to make sacrifices.

That's what his parents said.

Situ Shanping thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind to do what his parents said.

After all, a large part of the reason why the family has become what it is now is because of his resolute departure.

So, he had to make amends.

Even if it takes a certain risk.

In this way, according to the instructions of his parents, he came to a room in the northwest of the ancestral house, and there was a secret passage under the bed in the room.

Walking down from the dark passage, there are several interconnected basements of various sizes.

It was full of strange Gu curing tools and ancient medical equipment.

On the wooden cabinet on the south side of the basement are a variety of small but delicate clay cups.

There are various types of Gu worms in the pottery cup.

They are all treasures cultivated by the Situ family for thousands of years.

In fact, although Situ Shanping's grandfather's generation gave up the method of using Gu techniques to heal patients, they still couldn't simply give up these Gu worms.

Therefore, in each generation of the Situ family, one or two people will be selected, and they will tell this secret to the chosen person.

For no other reason than to allow them to carefully feed these bugs with blood.

Of course, such a large number of Gu worms cannot all rely on human blood, so they generally use the blood of cattle and sheep mixed with special Chinese medicinal materials for feeding.

Perhaps the ancestors at that time expected the arrival of such a day, so they have always left such a way back for the Situ family.

Situ Shanping came to the basement, and then, following his parents' prompts, found bamboo slips placed on several rows of bookshelves in the innermost room.

Originally, he had already tried to practice Gu art with the idea that he might die.

However, when he took out the first scroll, a thin piece of wood, about fifteen centimeters long and twelve centimeters wide, also fell out of the bookcase.

After reading the above content, his face was happy, and his hands trembled with excitement.

The wood chips were written by Situ Shanping's grandfather.

It describes what he found at the time.

In fact, the methods used by the Situ family to practice Gu art in the past generations were all wrong.

It was this mistake that led to the death of many people.

It turned out that not everyone was qualified to learn these Gu medicine classics handed down from their ancestors.

It will choose its own owner.

The method of testing is very simple, you only need to cut your finger or other part of your body, and drip your own blood on any roll of bamboo slips, if the blood can be absorbed by the bamboo slips, then he is the person selected by the Gu Medicine Classics.

Such a person who learns Gu Medicine will not only not be counterattacked, but can often grasp the essence of it in a very short period of time.

It's like a candidate arranged in the dark.
