Miao territory, Moon Mountain, Black Miao Holy Land.
The inheritance of Miao territory has a long history, and the ancestors of the people with the surname Chi can even be traced back to the demon god Chi You, the leader of Jiuli in ancient times.
That was the most glorious moment in Miao territory.
Counting down, the Baiyue Wizards in the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave and the Twelve Cave in the Tang Dynasty were all so powerful that they once made outsiders look down upon them and not dare to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains without permission.
Later on, the Five Poison Sect also became famous in the world for a while.
It's just that time is the most ruthless carving knife. As it falls, the five Miao tribes that used to be notorious in the past are now only left with the red and black ones that still have remnants of their inheritance.
The Red Miao Tribe takes Qinghe Village as its holy place, while the Black Miao Tribe lives around the two sacred mountains of Lei Gong and Moon.
On this day, colorful clouds rose above the two holy mountains, reflecting the entire sky into colorful colors.
This is not an auspicious sign, but a variety of poisonous powders specially sprinkled by the Gu Masters of the Black Miao Tribe. The meaning is probably the same as the fireworks set off during festivals, for celebration.
Because, today is the most important festival held by the Black Miao tribe every five years - the Gu Festival.
Gu is the most important inheritance in Miao territory.
The Gu Festival is the day when the natal Gu is planted for the new generation of Black Miao children.
Of course, this species is not a group of people lying quietly in a spacious and bright room that even smells of disinfectant or even formalin, with the senior Gu Masters carefully helping one by one.
operate.
Instead, all children of the right age, who are qualified and want to be Gu Masters, need to climb the two sacred mountains of Thunder God and Moon to find their own opportunities.
The so-called appropriate age refers to around ten years old.
The average Black Miao child will start to work hard and train his muscles and bones when he is about five or six years old. After three to five years, every oil hammer and stone lock can be played sneakily.
Then comes the most important step - choosing the natal Gu.
Only when the natal poison is planted can the path of cultivation of the poison master really start.
…
…
Under the Moon Mountain.
"Brother Chi Li, your little Yao also chose the Holy Moon Mountain?"
A woman wearing a blue and purple traditional cloth shirt with complicated patterns asked with a sweet smile.
As the mountains on her chest rose and fell as she spoke, her broken silver jewelry rustled and moved, which was really beautiful.
"yes,"
The big man from Angzang, known as Chi Li, said in a loud voice, "This boy, I have clearly told him that the Gu insects on Leigong Mountain are more focused on attacking and killing, while the Gu insects on Moon Mountain are more focused on defense and assistance, tsk!"
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, as if he hated iron.
"Don't worry so much. That kid Xiao Yao has been smart since he was a child. Maybe he has his own thoughts in mind~"
The woman smiled and comforted.
…
…
At this time, Chi Yao, who was being talked about by his father, was walking step by step on Moon Mountain, which was full of thorns and bushes.
Moon Mountain and Leigong Mountain are called holy mountains by the Black Miao tribe. In order to maintain the most natural environment for cultivating Gu insects, very few people come to these two mountains, so there are no roads at all.
But this is not a problem for Chi Yao, who has been struggling for five years.
At this time, there was a bright energy surrounding him like a flame, which isolated him from the snakes, insects, rats, and ants around him.
This is Qi.
It is a life energy that human beings have possessed since the beginning of their lives, and it will accompany them until the end of their lives.
It's just that few people can actually detect and take advantage of it.
Those who can sense the existence of Qi and work hard to strengthen it through practice were called Qi practitioners in ancient times, but today, they have another name - aliens.
"Phew, I finally found it..."
Once again parting the broad branches and leaves in front of him that blocked his sight, Chi Yao wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the simple and deep cave in front of him.
"The legendary ruins of Twelve Cave in ancient times, let me see what level of mystery this place has."
The reason why he chose Moon Mountain instead of Leigong Mountain was naturally not because he disliked attacking and preferred assisting, but because he accidentally heard a rumor from his father Chi Li.
The inheritance of Miao territory can be traced back from ancient times to the present. After wars and various turmoils, almost half of its essence has been lost.
And the two holy mountains juxtaposed today are not products of the same era.
Relatively speaking, Moon Mountain has a longer history, which can be traced back to the Miao Twelve Cave in the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years earlier than Leigong Mountain.
And coincidentally, when he traveled here, he was not alone, but brought an exploration system with him.
Its function is that every time he visits a location and completes the exploration, he will be given different levels of exploration rewards based on the mystery of the place.
Mystery, this is a concept given by the system. After Chi Yao's personal testing, it probably refers to the degree of connection between this place and supernatural forces.
For example, in the stone chamber that Chi Li used to refine the poison all year round, he once obtained a Qi Gu.
The description of the item is: Eating it can increase his energy level equivalent to half a year of practice.
Because of this discovery, he had been a naughty kid for a long time, often sneaking into other Gu Masters' Gu breeding grounds, and was once beaten out as a SP unfortunately.
Well, he is not old.
If it weren't for his father, Chi Li, who still had some respect and prestige among the Black Miao tribe, Chi Yao would have been beaten to death countless times.
But even after paying such a high price, he gained nothing.
No, it should be said that the harvest was extremely rich.
Chi Yao penetrated into the secret chambers of twenty Gu masters in total, and successfully completed the exploration in eighteen of them.
What these twenty severe beatings gained was a full five-year increase in energy.
Yes, it's very strange. The weapons given by exploring these places are all Qi Gu, which have different effects. Based on this, he can be regarded as making a reliable estimate of the strength of the Gu masters in his village.
Simple ranking.
Thanks to the extra five years of energy, Chi Yao, who was only ten years old, accidentally gained the title of the No. 1 prodigy in the Black Miao Club.
Today, in order to obtain a powerful enough natal Gu, Chi Yao came to the legendary Twelve Cave ruins.
The moment he stepped into the cave, he heard a particularly pleasant sound.
[Ding! An explorable location has been detected: one of the Twelve Cave Sites in Miao territory]
[The mystery of the location is being rated...]
[Rating completed: three stars]
[Complete the exploration to get a three-star lottery opportunity]
Chi Yao was immediately overjoyed. His judgment was correct. This place was really a mysterious place.
Star rating is an indicator used by this exploration system to evaluate the degree of mystery. The Gu refining chambers he had explored before were all one-star, while in many more places there were no explorable prompts at all.
Three stars, this is the first time!
After calming down his mind, he couldn't wait to step forward and go deeper.
Exploring is not about checking in. You just need to stop at the door, or at least go around once inside.
At the same time, since the system has responded to this place, Chi Yao still harbors a little delusion in his heart - maybe there is a chance inheritance left here from ancient times?
After a while, Chi Yao sighed after hearing the new reminder ringing in his ears.
He was overthinking it. There was no trace of ancient inheritance or anything like that. This was just an abandoned cave. It might have some mysterious aura, but he couldn't detect it anyway.
After all, he's just a rookie who has been practicing Qi for five years and doesn't even have a natal Gu.
[Congratulations to the host for getting a three-star lottery opportunity. Because it is the first time to get a three-star reward, you can specify a prize keyword. 】
"Life Gu, I want a life Gu that is powerful enough!"
[Keywords have been determined: natal Gu, lottery roulette is being generated...]
Then, Chi Yao saw a slightly illusory large turntable appear in front of him, and the disk was divided into colorful colors, with the name of a Gu written on each piece, and then began to rotate slowly.
"Meeting-born Gu, Seven-Fragrance Wine Worm, Seven-Jue Gu (embryo), Golden Silkworm Gu, Ice Muscle Jade Bone Gu."
He read out the names of these Gu one by one, and if he concentrated his attention, he could see more detailed explanations.
"Seven-flavored wine bugs can condense the true essence. If you convert it, it can assist in Qi training and make it more pure; the golden silkworm Gu can make the host immune to all poisons, and it is also the king of Gus, with a really loud tone;
The Ice Muscle and Jade Bone Gu can transform the body and transform itself into the physique of the same name. It is very powerful at first glance. The Qi Jue Gu can rank as a three-star with several other kinds of Gu with just one embryo. It is estimated that it will far exceed the three-star level when mature.
.Only this Death Life Gu..."
Chi Yao smacked his lips and said, "The ability is quite strong. After subduing the poison, the person will not die until the poison dies. That's the side effect... It takes ten years of torture that is worse than death before you can surrender. It's really a bit..."
He already has a system, but is he still going through this kind of hardship? Is it necessary?
Then by using the ability to revive the dead and exploring more mysterious places, wouldn’t it be possible to make money back?
Without waiting for him to complain more, the spinning turntable quickly stopped, and the pointer passed all the way over the Golden Silkworm Gu, Ice Muscle Jade Bone Gu and other areas, and finally stopped dangerously on the last grid of the Meteoric Gu.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Qijuegu (embryo), do you want to use it immediately? 】
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bug as clear as white jade appeared in Chi Yao's palm.
Its body is similar to a scorpion but very small, not even the size of his fingernail. If you look closely, you can see that there are six jointed limbs on its torso and two black eyes on the top of its head, which are in stark contrast to its white jade-like body.
In contrast, it actually looks a bit cute.
The next moment, his palm felt a slight pain, as if he had been lightly pricked by a needle. When he raised his eyes again, the Qijue Gu had disappeared.
Then, a cool and numb feeling quickly spread from the palm of the hand, passing through the arms and shoulders, and finally flowed into the heart.
Immediately, Chi Yao felt a weak consciousness in his body, which was vague and incomprehensible, like a blank sheet of paper, but it conveyed a lot of information to him.
