Chapter 002: Mysterious Ancient Totem

With the help of the enthusiastic passers-by who were watching around, Ah Xiyan quickly picked up the belongings that had been scattered all over the place before.

It was only when she thanked the passers-by and watched everyone leave with emotion that she realized that there was something missing from the baggage.

It was a hand-sewn sachet by her adoptive mother, and on the front of the sachet, her adoptive mother specially embroidered her name - A Xiyan.

And on the back of the sachet are the three words of Ten Thousand Poison Valley, as well as an extremely ancient and cumbersome totem.

This sachet was hand-sewn by her adoptive mother overnight on the day Ah Xiyan was born and sent to the edge of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

Inside the sachet is the stamens of the unique cherished flowers that can only grow in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, which are crushed and carefully prepared with the serum of the most poisonous snakes, which has the miraculous effect of anti-poison and insect repellent.

Only when you wear this special sachet on your body and live in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, which is full of poisonous insects, will you not be bitten by poisonous insects.

Although people who are born with poisonous bodies are not afraid of poisonous insect bites, because there are so many poisonous insects in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, if you don't wear this kind of sachet, you may wake up with thousands of poisonous insects crawling all over your body.

Once a poisonous insect crawls into the body along the nostrils and mouth, even if it is not poisoned, it is eaten clean and bitten to death.

Therefore, everyone in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons will wear this sachet from birth, and will not leave until the day of death, and will be buried in the ground as the most important thing in the funeral offerings.

Over time, making sachets for newborn babies has become a unique custom of Ten Thousand Poison Valley for newborn children, and it has gradually evolved into a kind of prayer for parents to newborns, wishing that their children can not live to be forty years old and can grow old like normal people outside.

Because of this, this sachet has been worn on Ah Xiyan's waist since she was a child, and it was not until Ah Xiyan left the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons that she took it off and put it in her bag to keep a souvenir.

The reason why Ah Xiyan did not continue to hang on her waist after leaving the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons was because the sachet was embroidered with the words "Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons", once it was seen by people outside, it would definitely cause an uproar, and it would be revealed that A Xiyan was from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons as soon as possible.

And the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons has always been regarded as an ominous place by people outside, and no one has ever seen anyone who can come out alive after entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

If the sachet on Ah Xiyan's body is seen by outsiders, then she will inevitably be regarded as an ominous person by outsiders, or even a demon, and she will either avoid it or attack her in groups.

No matter how she treats Ah Xiyan, it's not what she wants to see.

There is a more important reason that the special fragrance emitted by this sachet has the effect of ecstasy on ordinary people, at most within three hours, the person who smells the scent of the sachet will lose his mind and make extremely crazy actions, or he will be unconscious, or even die.

Therefore, Ah Xiyan carefully put it in the baggage, and deliberately used a small wooden box to hide the fragrance, so as not to hang it on her waist and hurt the innocent.

But at this moment, only the small wooden box that was opened was left in the baggage, and the sachet inside was missing, which could not help but make A Xiyan feel extremely nervous and reluctant.

In fact, for Ah Xiyan, she would rather lose everything else in the baggage, as long as the sachet is in her, she can feel at ease.

First, this sachet was made by her adoptive mother, or something that she never left since she was a child, which is very commemorative.

Second, it doesn't hurt anyone else, and it doesn't matter who picks it up.

However, this sachet will make the person who picks it go crazy as if he has lost his mind, and it is not impossible to hurt others even when he loses his mind.

When Ah Xiyan found that the sachet was missing, she also carefully searched for it in the vicinity again, but unfortunately found nothing, so there was only one possibility - someone picked it up.

It's just that Ah Xiyan thought of being picked up, but what she never dreamed of was that her sachet was actually taken away by the prince in the carriage that almost killed her.

At that moment, while Ah Xiyan was worried about the person who picked up the sachet, she also regretted walking in the middle of the road with a restless heart just now.

If she hadn't been so distracted just now, she wouldn't have almost been hit by a carriage, and her baggage wouldn't have been damaged, and her sachet wouldn't have been lost.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, Ah Xiyan understands that no matter how much regret is useless, the only thing she can do is to pay attention to whether there are any crazy people in the neighborhood in the past few days, and then find the door to save the other party, and take the opportunity to get back the sachet that belongs to her.

In view of the fact that it is already midnight at this moment, and the person who picks up the sachet will have to have a crazy attack tomorrow morning, Ah Xiyan plans to find an inn to stay for one night first, and get up early tomorrow morning to walk around the neighborhood to see if she can find out which family has a crazy heartbeat.

In addition, Ah Xiyan also plans to find a few shops that specialize in customizing the peace charm jade pendant to see if she can find out the origin of the peace charm jade pendant she wears around her neck.

She believes that as long as she finds out which store ordered this peace talisman jade pendant, then she can find out which family commissioned it, and naturally she can find out her life experience.

After making this decision, Ah Xiyan looked around the neighborhood and happened to see a small inn across the road, called Yuelai Inn, so she crossed the road and walked into the inn.

……

Jin Wangfu.

In the lake pavilion in the palace garden, there is an octagonal palace lamp, the light is blurry and soft, and a man in white is sitting at the stone table and is thoughtfully pouring himself a drink.

On the stone table, there is also a mutilated ancient book, and on the page of the ancient book, an extremely cumbersome ancient totem is drawn.

At this moment, the man in white was staring at the totem and fell into deep thought.

He was dressed in white, with long eyebrows, flowing black hair, and black jewel-like eyes that shone in the soft light, deep and graceful.

If Ah Xiyan saw this man at this moment, she would be able to recognize him at a glance, he was the man in white who had stopped her by the waist and picked her up and avoided the danger of the horse's hooves.

His name is Chu Junmo, he is twenty-five years old this year, and he is the owner of this Jin Palace, King Jin.

He is the only sibling brother of the current Holy Chu Junwei, and the only prince of the imperial city.

Although he is gifted and intelligent, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is withdrawn by nature, unruly, and does not like to associate with people.

Speak and act extremely neatly, there is no superfluous word, but whenever you want to say something, you turn your head and leave, never taking into account the feelings of others, it is said that even his own brother the emperor has never seen him laugh once since he was a child, and therefore ended up with the title of a cold-blooded prince.

It is also rumored that King Jin has been an ominous person since he was a child, saying that he killed his mother after he was born.

Because since he was born, his mother has disappeared for no reason.

He was also sent to the royal monastery shortly after he was born, and the monks chanted daily to exorcise evil spirits for him for ten years before returning to the palace.

What's even more incomprehensible is that he never got close to women when he grew up, he seems to have a habit of cleanliness, and he has never had a skin-to-skin relationship with anyone, so he has never married.

has also refused the emperor's marriage many times, making the emperor lose face.

At first, the ministers and concubines of the court and the central government criticized him for disrespecting the saints, ignoring the holy decrees, and treating people harshly and ruthlessly, and some suggested that the emperor should abolish his title.

But what everyone never expected was that the emperor not only did not get angry, never counted the etiquette with him, but also respected him a lot, defended him everywhere, and even severely punished the ministers and concubines who proposed to abolish the title of prince, so no one dared to say anything to him since then.

It stands to reason that the kings of all dynasties are extremely suspicious, and they will never leave a prince who is difficult to tame and may even seek power and usurp the throne by their side.

Only those who 100% believe that they will not covet their throne will be crowned princes.

And today's Saint Chu Junwei is actually a suspicious and suspicious king, who would rather kill by mistake than let go of one.

Since he ascended the throne, except for Chu Junmo, the royal brothers and even the imperial uncles have been eliminated by him one by one looking for various reasons.

But there is a reason why Chu Junmo was the only one who was left, and he repeatedly favored and connived at Chu Junmo.

It turns out that there is an unknown royal secret in this, that is, it is actually Chu Junmo who really inherits the throne in the edict of the first king, not Chu Junwei.

But on the night after the death of the first king, Chu Junmo burned the edict in front of Chu Junwei and took the initiative to give up the throne to Chu Junwei.

When Chu Junwei was puzzled and asked his younger brother why he willingly gave up the throne, he learned that his younger brother was actually a child born with a poisonous body.

This is also the reason why his mother disappeared inexplicably after giving birth to him.

It's just that such a scandal is inconvenient to make public, and the first king loves Chu Junmo's mother very much, so the first king killed the midwife, palace maid and eunuch who delivered Chu Junmo's mother, as well as all the imperial doctors who knew about it.

In order to ensure that this secret would never be known, even Chu Junmo's own brother Chu Junwei did not tell the truth.

After that, the first king secretly sent Chu Junmo's mother and him to a royal monastery near the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and while letting the monks chant sutras every day to ward off evil spirits, he secretly looked for people with excellent medical skills to treat Chu Junmo's poisonous body, and tried to wake up the unconscious Chu Junmo's mother concubine.

It's a pity that Chu Junmo's mother lost a lot of blood in childbirth, and gave birth to a child born with a poisonous body.

and mourned in secret, so as not to be seen by the world, so the world thought that Chu Junmo's mother was missing.

And those so-called folk divine doctors who were secretly sent to the royal temple to treat Chu Junmo's poisonous body are also gone, as long as they can't prepare an effective formula to remove the poison within a year, they will be killed and killed, and then replaced by a new divine doctor.

This process lasted for a whole decade, that is, when Chu Junmo was ten years old, and finally a master who had studied poison developed a formula that could temporarily suppress the poison.

After taking the pills made with this formula, Chu Junmo could act like a normal person within a month, but if he was emotional and accidentally injured, he would return to the state of poison.

This means that he can rely on this pill all his life to survive, but after taking this pill for a long time, the medicinal properties will become weaker and weaker, and it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

And after a certain number of years, it may be completely useless.

Although the first king knew about this situation, he was still satisfied with taking Chu Junmo back to the palace, cultivating him wholeheartedly, and still wanted to pass on his throne to him.

He always felt that since someone had prepared this kind of pill, there would be hope to cure Chu Junmo's poison in time, so he was still willing to pass on the throne to Chu Junmo, who was extremely excellent in all aspects.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that on the night of his death, his most important prince, Chu Junmo, would burn the edict and take the initiative to give way to Chu Junwei.

When Chu Junwei learned all this, he was also extremely shocked, he knew that his younger brother was born with a poisonous body, had a limited lifespan, and had no intention of taking the throne at all, so after accepting the throne, he naturally treated and maintained him well everywhere.

And Chu Junmo has almost cut off contact for so many years, showing people with a cold and arrogant and withdrawn face all day long, but in fact, he has been secretly looking for a mysterious ancient family.

It is said that as long as you find someone from this family, it is possible to cure his poisonous body in the true sense.

It's just that the clues he has about that ancient family are extremely limited, and the only clue is an extremely cumbersome looking totem in a dilapidated ancient book.

But for so many years, Chu Junmo has tried almost all his might, but he still can't find any source for this totem.

This is also the reason why he is sitting in the lake pavilion and drinking sullen wine at the moment.

But if Ah Xiyan saw this totem, she would definitely be surprised!

Because this totem is the same totem that her adoptive mother embroidered on the sachet......
