In a quiet room, Chu Yuanbai, the king of Xiaojingnan, was meditating in front of a bronze cauldron with a strange shape and carved with ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. Suddenly, his chest felt tight and blood overflowed from the corners of his lips.
"Well..."
"Little prince, how are you?" The two guards who had been protecting him immediately supported him.
Chu Yuanbai motioned for them to take the cauldron, lowered his head and spat blood into it, and thin lines of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After the black water in the cauldron came into contact with the blood foam, it seemed to surge with life.
He wiped the corners of his lips with the handkerchief again and said calmly: "I am fine, I'm just a little uncomfortable."
As he spoke, he even raised the corners of his lips and smiled, with his eyes bright and frightening: "You can actually resist my king's poison-hunting technique. It seems that the other party may be a master. I didn't expect that the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the capital of the Central Plains is really amazing.
It’s an eye-opener!”
The two guards looked at each other: "Who can resist the prince's poison-hunting skills? Could it be some great wizard?"
This is the unique skill of my young prince. It was passed down from his mother, who is the Saint of Bai Miao. So far, among the Bai Miao in Lingnan and Guizhou, no one except a few great wizards can match it.
But Chu Yuanbai shook his head: "No, it won't be any great wizard. The great wizards all sit in the mountains to refine Gu. Unless something serious happens to exterminate the clan, they cannot leave their guarding place."
At this time, outside the door, a beautiful girl dressed as a Miao girl with the same thick eyebrows and big eyes came in with medicine. As she moved around, the silver jewelry on her body jingled.
"Brother, drink this herbal tea first. You failed to use the poison-hunting technique and you were poisoned, so you vomited blood!" The girl sat next to him.
Chu Yuanbai took the bowl of medicine and rubbed the girl's head lovingly: "Xiang Na, don't worry about brother, brother has a sense of discretion."
Xiang Na tilted her face and looked at Chu Yuanbai, wondering: "Brother, is there any Gu master in this capital who is better than my brother?"
Chu Yuanbai lowered his head and smiled, with a strange look in his eyes: "Who knows, but I have a hunch that maybe through the Gu Master who bewitched the prince, we may be able to find our Bai Miao's Gu God who has disappeared for decades."
Shanna's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked excitedly: "Brother, if we can find the Gu God, can I become the Saint of Baimiao like my grandma?!"
Bai Miao refers to the Miao family with different clan surnames, living in three provinces in the southwest. They are the most powerful ethnic group after the Han people.
Chu Yuanbai patted her hand gently: "You are my grandma's daughter. Who else is worthy of being my Bai Miao's saint?"
Shanna muttered unwillingly: "The candidates for saints recommended by the great wizard in the noble land of Lingnan and Guizhou are not economical lamps, and their voodoo skills are also very powerful! I am still worried that I can't compete with them!"
Chu Yuanbai smiled: "Don't worry, this time, my brother will definitely find our Miao territory's sacred objects and bring the Gu god back to the Miao territory! If I hadn't discovered the clues about the Gu god, how could I have come to the Central Plains to see the emperor!"
Shanna was a little puzzled and slapped Chu Yuanbai on the shoulder: "Brother, is the clue you mentioned about the grandma you spent so much effort to capture?"
Chu Yuanbai closed his eyes, and the delicate indigo vine tattoo on his cheek made his handsome and deep eyebrows look a bit slutty and enchanting: "Yes, it is not easy to catch that old witch, and many of us died.
"
This was the real reason why he delayed coming to Beijing.
It's not that someone in Baimiao rebelled, but they captured the saintly girl Aguna who had been missing for more than 40 years and rebelled in the previous generation.
More than forty years ago, Aguna, who was thirty years old but still failed to give birth to a new Saint, was about to step down as Saint of Hundred Miao.
According to the rules, she needs to choose one of the young Gu Masters recommended by several great wizards to inherit the position of Holy Girl Baimiao.
But Aguna suddenly disappeared. It is said that she escaped from Miao territory with her Han lover.
The saint's escape was a capital crime. Not only did Aguna escape, she also stole the parasitic holy object in her body - the Gu God!
At that time, the Baimiao people searched for her everywhere, but found nothing!
Everyone thought that after so many years, Aguna had become an old woman and should be dead, but they didn't expect it.
