Light Dance Jiajing

In the following days, the Great Wizard still did not meet with Meng'er and the others on the grounds of being busy. Later, she heard that he had met Zai Ji. Meng'er was so angry that her teeth itched. She thought it must be because of Peng Yu. What could Zai Ji want from the Great Wizard? It would only prevent the Great Wizard from treating Zai Hou. But what else could she do? She could only stay outside the Great Wizard's mansion. Compared with the Miao King, the Great Wizard's residence was also guarded no less. Meng'er tried to break in several times but was stopped. The Third Protector watched coldly. After all, he was older than Meng'er and could keep his composure. He did not stop Meng'er, but quietly He quietly went to find the Miao King. Although the Miao King did not know the three Dharma Protectors, he had an extraordinary friendship with the leader. To put it bluntly, they had a common interest and were all against the court, so they all huddled together for warmth. The three Dharma Protectors watched coldly for a few days and observed the actions of the six Dharma Protectors and Zai Ji. Seeing that the six Dharma Protectors never went to find the Miao King, and Zai Ji could only meet the great wizard through the Miao King's daughter, he felt relieved. After all, he was the one who came here on the order of the leader. He had the handwritten letter from the leader to the Miao King, which the six Dharma Protectors certainly could not produce. Therefore, he had no concerns about going to find the Miao King again.

Mei'er was so tired that she squatted outside the Great Wizard's mansion. She had been waiting here for several days, but she didn't even see the shadow of the Great Wizard. She wondered if the Great Wizard never went out. Just when she was feeling listless, the door suddenly opened and a middle-aged man came out. He walked up to Mei'er and said to her, "Come with me, the Great Wizard wants to see you." Mei'er jumped up in surprise, and regardless of her tiredness, she followed him in.

The mansion of the great wizard covers a large area. The houses are also made of wood, not much different from ordinary people. Meng'er was brought into a bright hall, where an old man in a black robe was sitting in the middle. The man was dressed in black, even the towel wrapped around his head was black. Not to mention his appearance, this outfit alone gave people a feeling of oppression. Meng'er bowed and greeted the great wizard. The great wizard was in his sixties or seventies, and he was in good spirits. Although he was not tall, his eyes were extremely sharp and bright, which made people dare not Looking at him, he didn't waste any time and said directly: "I know your purpose. I have sent someone to pick up your brother. Since the king asked me to help you, I will try my best. But you should know that there are thousands of poisons. Nine out of ten can be cured, but the remaining one or two cannot be cured. I have to see him in person before I can make a decision. Meng'er didn't expect the great wizard to help Zaihou detoxify so quickly. She hurried to thank him, but the great wizard interrupted her and said: "You don't have to thank me. I have never liked Han people. It's just that the Miao king asked me to do it."

The black line on Zaihou's elbow had grown to his forearm. It was a faint but clearly visible black line. The great wizard looked at it for a long time, frowned, and uttered only two words: "Blood Gu."

Meng'er asked anxiously: "What is blood parasite? Can it be cured?"

The great wizard shook his head and said, "I can't solve it." The hope in Meng'er's eyes slowly died down. Is there anyone who can solve the Gu that even the great wizard can't solve? Then the great wizard continued, "This blood Gu is extremely difficult to distinguish. It is very similar to the common love Gu and heart-eating Gu in its onset, but its color is darker than that of the blood Gu, just a little darker. If it is misdiagnosed and treated with the wrong method, it will die immediately. Fortunately, you found me. I am afraid that I am the only one who knows about this blood Gu besides the Gu King. I wanted to raise one in my early years, but failed. This Gu is extremely difficult to raise. Not only must it be fed with hundreds of insects and herbs, but after it is formed, it must be taken as a vessel by the flesh. That is, the Gu is placed in the human body and fed with human blood. In order to make the human and Gu one, the person who feeds it must also take restraining things in advance. When the Gu is formed, it must be able to control it. If it is allowed to leave the body, and the person who feeds it is separated from the blood Gu, the poison that has been soaked in the blood Gu in the body will have no way to absorb it, and the poison will immediately take effect and die. However, this Gu is very picky about the person it attaches to. Unless the blood is extremely precious and pure, it cannot be planted even if one wants to."

The great wizard looked up at Zaihou carefully, and he actually saw a divine figure. He thought to himself, I have seen countless people, and this boy has clear star-like eyes, and his eyebrows are as bright as a mirror from the root, and there is a hint of starlight. This is the appearance of a very noble philtrum. He has traveled in Han, Tibetan, and Western Yi for half his life, and has met more than tens of thousands of people, but this is the first time he has seen such a face. Looking more carefully, there is a lot of darkness under the child's forehead. How can there be so many signs under one face? He has received guidance from a master of physiognomy, and he is confident that he will not make a mistake, but how to explain this? He pondered for a long time before looking up at Meng'er and his brother and said, "Let me say one more thing, the young master is a very noble philtrum, but his life has been full of ups and downs, and eight out of ten things are not satisfactory."

Meng'er was completely focused on the blood poison at the moment. Seeing the great wizard staring at them for a long time like a fortune teller, and now telling their fate, Meng'er became a little impatient. She was concerned about whether the poison could be cured. What was the point of talking about whether it was expensive if her life was already gone? From what the great wizard said, the poison could not be allowed to come out after it was planted in the body, otherwise she would die. She hurriedly asked the great wizard: "How do we control this poison?"

The great wizard shook his head and said, "Not only did this child not take anything to restrain himself, but he also has no power to restrain himself. In two years at most, this Gu will grow tail wings and break out of his body." Meng'er stared at the great wizard blankly, muttering to herself absentmindedly, "Is there really no way?"

At this time, Zaihou suddenly said, "Didn't the master say that my philtrum is extremely noble? There is nothing to worry about. Since you know physiognomy, can you also do a physiognomy for my sister?"

The great wizard didn't look at Meng'er and just said lightly: "She is not a person with a long life and great fortune, but..." He didn't say anything else. As soon as Meng'er came in, he looked at her unconsciously. Meng'er's face was really strange. If it was said that she would die young, there was a hint of endless energy between her eyebrows. This was the first time he had seen such a face. If people have only one life, they live or die, but this girl has the appearance of both life and death. If it was an ordinary fortune teller, he probably wouldn't be able to see a trace of life in Meng'er, but he saw it, so he became more confused.

Zaihou frowned and asked, "Just what?"

The great wizard shook his head. He really couldn't tell what Meng'er's face looked like, so he couldn't answer. He didn't want to continue this topic and said, "The blood Gu is also called the king of Gu. There is only one among millions of Gu insects, and it is extremely difficult to raise it. The difference between the blood Gu and other Gu is that this Gu is usually raised for one's own benefit. The blood Gu is extremely poisonous, but if you can subdue it, you will be immune to all poisons and stay young forever. If you can't control it, you will die. I'm not bragging about the Gu in Miaojiang, I have ways to crack them all, but this blood Gu is the only one that has no solution." The great wizard stopped talking here. How old is Zaihou? How can he control the king of Gu with the strength of a little kid? The implication is that he will die.

Everyone was silent. After a while, Meng'er asked, "Master wizard, do you know who raised this Gu?"

The great wizard said: "I can't even raise this Gu, I think only one person can raise it, the Gu King."

Meng'er asked, "Where is the Gu King? Can you take me to see him?"

The great wizard shook his head and said, "The Gu King is in the mountains and swamps of Yunnan. He has been obsessed with raising Gu all his life. Outsiders can't find him at all. Moreover, he had a grudge against the Han people in his early years. He will not see you."

Meng'er finally had a glimmer of hope and was unwilling to give up. She asked anxiously, "Do you know the Gu King? If you are willing to introduce him to me, I will agree to any conditions."

The great wizard thought for a moment and said, "No one else can raise this Gu except the Gu King, but how could it be planted on this child? The Gu King must want to plant it on himself, which is very strange." He thought for a while and then a look flashed in his eyes and said, "It's possible that the Gu King is also looking for this Gu, but with his hot temper, I don't know what he will do to you."
