Chapter 68: Burning Sacrifice

But once it reaches the breeding season, it becomes very scary.

Because it likes to reproduce in the human body.

It can secrete a poison that can anesthetize you, burrow into your body without you knowing, hide in the human body and lay eggs to reproduce, once the person realizes that something is wrong, often only the lump of flesh is cut alive. If it's on the hands and feet, it's just that, if it's drilled into the vital parts, it's only a dead end.

And this is not the real "Gu King".

The real Gu King was raised by Gu people.

They put the larvae of tens of thousands of these poisonous insects together, and let them fight and devour each other, and the last one to survive is called the Gu King.

It is called king because it has super survivability and reproductive ability.

In the Miao Jiang region, where Gu worms are prevalent, the Gu King is the most terrifying existence that makes people smell and change.

Once possessed by it, it will lay eggs all over the body, but it doesn't want your life, the egg absorbs the nutrients of your flesh and blood, once it hatches, the whole person will become a "worm man", countless Gu worms from the mouth, nose, ears and other parts of the body burst out, and die in the most miserable way.

In the past, the Gu King had no cure.

Fortunately, later, a great witch doctor discovered a plant that could kill the Gu King and the eggs it layed.

This plant is called: Burning Offerings.

In the "Secret Book of the Witch Doctor", it is said that taking the "burning sacrifice" can get rid of the Gu King.

But at the same time, people will be harmed by the medicinal properties of the burning sacrifice, and when they attack, their bodies will feel extremely cold and heat, which makes life worse than death, and if they do not understand the medicinal properties, this person will not live long.

Fortunately, there is also an antidote to the burning sacrifice.

Its antidote is the fruit of the Moon Tree.

A-Niang drew a lot of key points on these pages of Gu King.

He also wrote a lot of dense small characters, the first sentence is: Tai Chi thirteen needles, can regulate qi and blood, and temporarily relieve the symptoms of burning sacrifices.

Later, there are many details to pay attention to when applying needles.

……

Bai Xianyan watched this and was stunned for a long time.

From the time she turned ten years old, Ah Niang said that her hands were stable enough, so she began to teach her the thirteen needles of Tai Chi in Taoist medicine, and took her own body and asked Bai Xianyan to practice repeatedly, making sure to accurately prick the acupoints.

Moreover, there is a moon tree planted in her yard.

Ah Niang made many records about the thirteen needles of Tai Chi on the pages of Gu Wang.

Is there anyone who has taken the burning offering and failed?

She's never heard of it, huh?

……

November 15 is Daddy's birthday.

In previous years, A-Niang was very lively.

This year, I can only go to the cemetery to pay respects.

According to local customs, there is a clan sacrifice during the New Year every year, and the family participates.

The death anniversary of the ancestors of each family (the day of the deceased) will also be more solemn, and uncles, nephews and nieces will also go.

But if you live long, your own wives and children will go to worship.

Therefore, on this day, Wu Mi and Bai Wanrou, Bai Xianyan, and Bai Fei passed.

In addition, Mu Qingfeng, as Bai Xian's fiancé, also took leave from the academy and went over to worship together.

The weather was particularly good on this day, with crisp autumn air, cloudless skies and bright sunshine.

Wu Mi took her three children, Mu Qingfeng, and many subordinates and nurses, and left the house early in the morning and went to the peach blossoms twenty miles west of the city.

Peach Blossom is the location of the ancestral tomb of the Bai family, and the Bai family paid for the road from the city to the past, and built a large-scale cemetery there.

Who would have thought that when we set off, it was still cloudless, and halfway through, the sky was overcast, and soon it began to rain heavily.

On this day in the previous life, Bai Xianyan was grounded because of some things, and she didn't go to the cemetery at all, and she couldn't remember whether it was rain or sunny at all, so she didn't prepare an umbrella.
