Liu Hui shook his head: "Miss Lu and Mr. Shen, you don't know. There are still some strange things in this world that cannot be explained by science.
In today's society, voodoo is no longer mainstream. Many people on the Internet even say that voodoo is fake and just a kind of poison. To be honest, although I am a descendant of the Liu family, I only have a partial understanding of the principles of these things. I know it, but I don’t know why.”
Having said this, Liu Hui paused and walked into the room: "Miss Lu, it's a long story about Gu magic. Let's go into the room and talk slowly."
Lu Xixin nodded.
He entered the inner room and sat down to listen to Liu Hui's story.
After Liu Hui told her story, Lu Xixin realized that in a place she didn't know, there was such a group of people in the world who were completely divorced from modern society and followed an ancient way of life that had been passed down for thousands of years.
Liu Hui focused on several large Gu magic families, including the Miao family, the Hua family, and the Bai family.
"Miss Lu, in fact, our Liu family's Gu skills are not the best, they are just barely ranked, and in recent years, because I am the only one left in the Liu family, it has become increasingly declining and can no longer compete with other families.
Incense thread is a strange spice that has great attraction to poisonous insects from the darkest to the coldest. In the past, it was used by the masters of poisonous arts to catch insects. However, the prescription has been basically lost to this day. Even if there are prescriptions, , the raw materials used in it can’t be found either.”
Lu Xixin looked at Liu Hui: "Is there nothing I can do?"
Liu Hui hesitated: "It can't be said that there is no way. In half a month, there will be an auction in the Wu Kingdom. Maybe there will be a chance."
Wu Kingdom is a small country located on the equator. It has been circulating for thousands of years and has always been a monarchy. Its customs are very different from those outside. Due to its geographical location and climate, the country is densely covered with plants, and there are woods and various poisonous insects everywhere. He rarely interacts with outsiders.
Other countries outside have no interest in this small country.
"Auction?" Lu Xixin was curious: "Can you tell me more about it?"
Liu Hui took a sip of water from the cup and said: "Due to the climate, there are a lot of bugs in the Wu Kingdom, so voodoo is very popular. Not only that, weird things like falling heads, zombies, etc. can also be seen everywhere there. .The three major families, such as the Miao family, the Bai family, and the Hua family, have basically moved their headquarters to the Wu Kingdom.
The Witch Kingdom holds an auction every spring in March, at which time members of the major families will go there and auction some things. Although it is a routine auction, some magical and weird things appear every year.
If you want incense string, you have to try your luck at the auction."
Speaking of this, Liu Hui added: "By the way, the common currency in the auction is gold, and only gold is recognized. Other currencies, no matter what country they are, cannot be traded.
If we go there, we must prepare some gold in advance."
Lu Xixin lowered her eyes, rubbed the cup with her fingertips, and raised her eyes after a while: "Is this the only way to get incense thread?"
"Yes." Liu Hui nodded, "No one knows how to make this kind of incense now. They are all antiques left over from the past."
Hearing this, Lu Xixin raised her eyes with clear and firm eyes: "Okay, let's go to the auction and have a look."
