Wang Ou's condition did not improve at all, and Li Mu's mood was on the verge of collapse. The child had just cried for a while, and the nurse fed the milk and it took a long time to coax him to fall asleep. Zhenyu stewed lotus seed soup, and Li Mu fed it to Wang Ou bit by bit with a spoon, as if he was taking care of a paralyzed patient in bed.

When the elder Kunling came in, he saw this scene. The makeup on Li Mu's face still looked like Cui Yuzheng.

The Great Elder Kunling stared at Li Mu for a long time, then suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings to the Marquis."

Li Mu ignored him and continued to feed Wang Ou. Until Wang Ou could not eat at all, he put the bowl aside and looked at the elder Kunling.

"The Great Elder has good eyesight. I have heard that the Great Elder knows how capable he is. Today I have learned it." Li Mu said lightly: "Since the Great Elder has recognized it, why not make it clear in public? There are thousands of strong people on the mountain. No matter how powerful my people are, it is difficult to protect me. If you kill me, you can avenge your leader."

The elder Kunling worshipped on the ground and said, "Where did the marquis say? The subordinates always respected the court and should cooperate with the marquis to act. How dare they do the act of hurting the marquis? However, the beliefs of the Snake Spirit Sect have been in the bone marrow and cannot express their position. Therefore, they came to see each other privately to see where they can cooperate with the marquis."

"Secretary?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows, and the elder Kunling hurriedly explained: "Marty, the court has granted local officials to us, the elders of the Miao family."

"Oh," Li Mu then realized it. He remembered that Li Shimin once mentioned that the nominal official positions given by these Miao elders was of some benefit to maintaining local stability. However, the official positions of these local officials were not the same as those of the court, and the court did not give salaries, which was nothing more than. Now this great elder uses this connection to show his urgent intention.

"Great Elder, please get up. I heard that you are a doctor, how about your medical skills?"

Hearing Li Mu asked about medical skills, the elder Kunling felt energetic. He stood up and said, "It's not that the Xiaguan boasted that Xiaguan's medical skills are in Miaojiang, so I dare to say second..." Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Zhenyu in his aftertaste, and choked back in the second half of the sentence, saying, "...Second, Xiaguan's medical skills are second in Miaojiang."

Li Mu looked at Zhenyu along his gaze, and Zhenyu whispered: "The first is my father."

The great elder also said: "Zhenyu's father is the master of Doctor Sun, so he is naturally unmatched by his subordinates."

The second was enough. Li Mu stood up and moved out of the way, signaled, and said, "Please also see my wife's situation."

The Great Elder Kunling was stunned when he heard this, but the smart man naturally would not say much. He hurriedly took the medicine box, took out a brand new linen handkerchief from it, put it on Wang Ou's wrist, and then took his pulse.

"The pulse is deep and thin, press it into the bone..." The Great Elder Kunling sighed and said, "This is a spiritual vein. Marquis and the Saint may not have been able to survive these two or three days."

Li Mu was prepared in his heart, so he was not surprised. Now was not the time to be discouraged. After a while of silence, Li Mu asked again: "Is there no way to do it?"

"This..." The Great Elder Kunling showed hesitation. Li Mu did not urge him and waited quietly. After a while, the Great Elder Kunling said: "Marty, the lower lord is also speculating that the situation of the saint will most likely fall on the snake spirit."

"What is this snake spirit?"

Li Mu asked Zhenyu the same question, but Zhenyu knew very little information. As the great elder of the White Tribe of Miaojiang, Kunling naturally knew more than Zhenyu. But judging from his performance just now, it seems that this matter is a bit hard to say.

"Mr. Marquis, please leave your left and right."

Beside Li Mu, there were Zhen Yu and Dugu Jiu who were worried about guarding the door. Kun Ling said that he wanted to retreat from the left and right, so he let them avoid it. Zhen Yu belonged to the Bai tribe, so he naturally had to listen to the words of the elder. He got up and went out after hearing this. However, Dugu Jiu did not care whether he was a great elder or not, and he had not moved his silk against the door frame, and he had no intention of getting up.

Li Mu said, "The Great Elder said this, there must be a hidden secret. You can go out and come back, it won't take long."

"Brother, you and your sister-in-law--"

Li Mu patted his chest, and there was a pear blossom needle hidden in his arms. Dugu Jiu nodded when he thought of the power of the pear blossom needle and turned around and went out with Zhenyu.

Only Li Mu and Wang Ou in a coma were left in the room. The eldest elder Kunling said: "Marty, forgive me, it really involves the secret method of Miaojiang, and I have to do so."

Li Mu nodded to express his understanding and signaled the Great Elder Kunling to continue to say. The Great Elder Kunling said, "I'm afraid I've seen it all the way to Miaojiang. There are many miasma and poisonous insects in the southern Xinjiang, so living in southern Xinjiang must have some ability to save lives. The Miao ancestors have lived here for generations, so they naturally have mastered some tricks."

"I won't mention the common medicine to avoid snakes and insects. The ancestors of Miao Village have long summarized their experience and found a secret method. Through this secret method, they can achieve the effect of inviolating all poisons."

These days, Li Mu didn't know how many times he heard the four words "non-invasive poisons". Hearing this, he said, "Is the so-called non-invasive poisons the body the prerequisite for your Snake Spirit Sect to select the leader?"

"Yes," the Great Elder Kunling was not surprised. Li Mu was so ambiguous with Wang Ou. Of course, he thought it was Wang Ou who told Li Mu: "It is extremely difficult to practice if all poisons are not invaded. It requires a body to test the poison. Not everyone can do it. It requires a congenital foundation. This barrier eliminated 99% of the people and the rest," the Great Elder Kunling shook his head and said, "There are not many people who can persist."

Li Mu's ability to understand is still OK, and he probably understood the meaning of the Great Elder Kunling. His meaning was that if he wanted to practice the invigorating poison, his innate poison resistance would have to be high, otherwise he would directly try to death by testing poison with his body.

"If you want to practice toxicity, you need to raise a poisonous snake with your own blood. The higher the venom, the faster the cultivation speed, but accordingly, the higher the toxicity, the greater the chance of failure. Therefore, choosing a poisonous snake with moderate toxicity is the top priority."

"In the secret technique of snake spirit, such a snake is called the life dragon."

"The normal candidate for successor to the leader is not his own life dragon. Because they are all in the mother's body, and their mother tests for poison, and then the mother may die. After the child is born, it will naturally be invincible. In other words, the mother's life is exchanged for the child's life. When the child is selected by the snake spirit, the snake spirit becomes their life dragon. The toxicity of the snake spirit is the head of all snakes and the strongest toxicity in southern Xinjiang."

"Piracy insects emphasize the use of poison to fight poison. Only those who can control the strongest poison can shock the miasma poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang. The normal Snake Spirit Sect leader has the ability to control a group of snakes. There are records in the letters of the leaders of the past dynasties that all Snake Spirit Sect leader can control snakes, dozens or hundreds, and thousands of people with profound Taoism. It is precisely for this reason that when there is something strange in the Holy Pool, only the Snake Spirit Sect leader with snakes can comfort him."

Fearing that Li Mu wouldn't understand, the Great Elder Kunling added: "What the Xiaguan is talking about is normal, the situation of this leader..."

"No need to explain, I know all this. You continue to say, what is the snake spirit?"

The Great Elder Kunling continued, "I just said that the snake spirit is a life dragon. Many people know the method of cultivation. People like us who are innately insufficient to practice the invasion of all poisons can also practice this method to enhance their resistance to various poisons. Therefore, for a long time, the common saying in Miaojiang was that the snake spirit is a kind of snake. The legends in the religion were explained by the failure of a dragon to pass through the tribulation and ascend to heaven and turned into a snake spirit."

"But in fact..." The Great Elder Kunling sighed and said, "People who have come into contact with the snake spirit will feel that the snake spirit is probably not a snake. At least the letters of the leader of the past dynasties have not recorded the specific shape of the snake spirit. And the specific appearance of the snake spirit is, if you find something similar in Miaojiang, it will be more like a kind of Gu."

"insanity?"

"Yes." The Great Elder Kunling nodded and said, "The snake spirit feeds blood, and the Gu feeds blood. The snake spirit can control beasts and people, and it also coincides with the effect of the Gu. Therefore, the lower officials speculate that the snake spirit is likely to be a Gu. However, there is no specific evidence."

Li Mu frowned and said, "If you treat the snake spirit as a Gu, is there a solution?"

The elder Kunling smiled bitterly and said, "Marquis, if it is a Gu, there is really nothing to do. Miaojiang's witchcraft is so mysterious, and they are all told from mother and daughter. What's going on is that even I, an elder, knows nothing. I only know that only those who use Gu can solve Gu, but others have no choice."

Li Mu's heart skipped a beat and said, "What if I don't understand?"

"The Gu will eat away all the vitality of the host and eventually end up with the end."

The elder Kunling had already made it clear. Li Mu knew in his heart that even if he asked him again, it would not be able to solve any problem. He was silent for a while and said, "In the current situation, the court needs a step, and the people of the Miao village also need a step. The court will send a representative of the negotiations tomorrow. At that time, you will come forward to persuade me and make peace with the court. At that time, I will agree and then make some requests for the court to handle it. These will include building bridges, building roads, punishing Han officials, etc., and the court will agree."

The Great Elder Kunling was overjoyed and wrote down one by one. Li Mu said again: "At this point, the matter has come to an end. At that time, I will announce that this sect will mainly go into seclusion and practice. The matters of Miaojiang will be left to the two elders to deal with. Then the court will come to give you new official positions, this time it is a real official, not a false official. By then, the road and the bridge are open, and the court will no longer have any restrictions on the people of Miaojiang. As for whether you can live a good life, it depends on your own. The court is not an old mother, and you can't feed you food and you can't feed it to your mouth. Do you understand what I said?"

The elder Kunling knelt on the ground and said gratefully: "What else do you have to say to the Marquis to do this for the people of Miaojiang? From now on, Miaojiang will be loyal to the court for generations and will never be dissatisfied with it."

Wang Ou's situation did not turn around. Li Mu was too lazy to exchange greetings, waved his hand and said, "Go to finish the show, go."

"Mr. Marquis," the elder Kunling stood up, walked to the door, and came back again, as if he had not finished speaking.

Li Mu glanced at him and said, "What else is there?"

"Mr. Marquis, the lower lord is old and his ears are a little unreliable. I didn't hear what the lord just said clearly. Are you saying that you are granting an official position to the lower lord alone, or..."

"At a young age, I'll be less scheming. Miaojiang will not have only one elder, and the White tribe or the Uterus tribe, it's impossible for either one to be the only one."

"Hey," Elder Kunling was disappointed, and went out honestly with the medicine box. Li Mu took his eyes back, stroked Wang Ou's hand, looked at her sleeping look, and sweared in his heart: "I will definitely wake you up!"

...

Li Mu's attitude was very clear. Even if Elder Kunling wanted to take advantage of loopholes, he could only think about it in his heart and did not dare to take action. He returned to his residence and briefly told the Grand Elder Kanchen. Elder Kanchen was also happy. Li Mu's attitude showed that Miaojiang had the final say in the leader, and Wang Ou's situation had no chance of turning around. Li Mu was too lazy to exchange greetings, waved his hand and said, "Go to finish the show, go."

"Mr. Marquis," the elder Kunling stood up, walked to the door, and came back again, as if he had not finished speaking.
