Lu Xiuyuan and his companions fed the antidote to the children. After taking it, the children's complexion returned to normal. The army of insects lying on them completed their mission and left one after another, gathering in a corner waiting to be recovered by their owner.

Afterwards, they went to the village to visit Yue Zhibai. Fortunately, Yue Zhibai was not injured in any vital parts. Although he was seriously injured, his life was not in danger. He just needed to recover after recuperation.

Bai Yiyao was really frightened and kept crying. She held Yue Zhibai's hand from beginning to end and never let go. Her thin body was shaking like a sieve.

After his injuries stabilized, Yue Xiangsong felt relieved. He arranged Lu Xiuyuan and others into a room, had someone serve them tea, and had a long and serious conversation with them.

Lu Xiuyuan first solemnly apologized to Yue Xiangsong for Yue Zhibai's injury and previous reckless behavior. Yue Xiangsong was generous and expressed his understanding and did not blame them.

After gaining his forgiveness, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't wait to ask him what kind of poison Bai Ziweng had given them and whether there was any antidote.

Yue Xiangsong examined them and determined that they were infected with a type of Gu called "Kan Gu".

The so-called malnut Gu is made by grinding small snakes, centipedes, cicadas, ants, earthworms, scorpions, hair, etc. into powder on the Dragon Boat Festival and placing them in front of the statues of the Five Plague Gods in the room or in a box. After long-term worship, the powder becomes malnut Gu.

If the malnutrition poison is added to food and people eat it, it will quickly enter the intestines and internal organs, causing abdominal distension and pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and even death. It is extremely cruel.

After listening to his story, several people gasped at the same time and couldn't help but feel frightened.

Zhu Li and Xiong Fei's behavior was particularly exaggerated. They were so scared that they scratched their throats with their hands, hoping to vomit out the malnutrition in their bodies.

Yue Xiangsong shook his head and sighed, "It's useless. If it can be easily vomited out, it won't be called Gu."

"Senior, what should we do? Can you remove this poison?" Lu Xiuyuan asked with a frown, holding Xia Younan's hand tightly, fearing that he would implicate his little wife.

Fortunately, God blesses you. Yue Xiangsong nodded and said, "You are not destined to die. I know this kind of Gu and how to remove it. It should be a few days before it breaks out. Tomorrow I will prepare the materials and remove it for you."

Upon hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him profusely.

"Senior, do you know how to solve the human skin poison? Our soldiers on the border have been poisoned by the poison. Now they have suffered heavy casualties and the army is in chaos. I hope you can give me some advice and solve this crisis on our border." Lu Xiuyuan asked him worriedly.

Yue Xiangsong shook his head upon hearing this and replied, "Although I know how to make the human skin Gu and how to kill it before it becomes a Gu, I don't know how to kill a Gu that has already become a Gu and has been put into a human body."

"Since you can stop the human skin Gu from growing to maturity, how come you don't know the way to become an adult?" Lu Xiuyuan asked in confusion, his brows wrinkled into a small pimple.

Yue Xiangsong replied: "That's because... I haven't finished reading the entire book."

"You have also read...that book?" Xia Younan asked doubtfully. Wasn't it said that the book was banned and only the sect leader could read it?

Yue Xiangsong nodded and admitted, "Yes, but I watched it openly, with the permission of my master, unlike that deceitful beast Bai Ziweng."

"This... what is going on? Your Black Miao Village is notorious outside, but now you..." Qu Xiaoyou couldn't help but ask, feeling extremely curious about what happened to him.

Yue Xiangsong laughed and said, "Other people's opinions on right and wrong, good and evil, don't count. I just need to have a clear conscience."

After saying that, he also realized that several people were very interested in the truth of what happened back then, so he took a sip of the tea on the table and told them what happened in the sect back then.

That was a completely different version from what Bai Ziweng said.

The sect they belonged to was once a famous one, called "Gu Master Sect". The Gu Masters in it were proficient in medical Gu and were good at curing diseases and saving lives.

Many years ago, there was a talented Gu Master in the sect. He studied the art of insect Gu on his own and recorded it in a book called "The Complete Book of Gu".

The records in it are all about witchcraft that harm people. They are extremely vicious and powerful, and full of aggressiveness.

Later, the Gu master used his insect Gu technique to commit many evil and cruel acts, so he was killed by the elders of the sect, and the "Complete Book of Gu" was also left in the sect.

Logically speaking, such evil books should have been destroyed immediately, but something went wrong before they could be destroyed.

It was a time of turmoil, and many people were thinking of using witchcraft to save themselves or harm others. The witchcraft masters did not want to be involved in the war and therefore did not follow suit.

After being rejected, those people were worried that their opponents would also look for poison to use against them, so many forces joined forces to besiege the Miao village with the mentality of destroying it if they couldn't get it.

At that time, the Gu Masters had not studied the book and were only good at healing Gu, not at using Gu techniques to attack. They were no match for those people. The Gu Master lineage suffered heavy losses and their inheritance was almost cut off.

The master was forced into a corner, and in order to protect himself, he had to take out the "Complete Book of Gu" and began to practice the techniques of harming people with his few remaining disciples.

Later, relying on those harmful witchcraft, they fought off wave after wave of enemies. Countless people died miserably from their insect poisons, and some were even bitten beyond recognition with no trace left of their bodies.

After seeing the methods of the Gu Masters, those people were so scared that they dared not provoke them again. The Gu Master Sect saved itself, but also ruined its good reputation that it had built over the years.

Because they killed too many people by improper means, the once famous and upright sect became a crooked sect in the eyes of the world. The Gu Master who used to cure diseases and save people's lives became an evil and vicious wizard, and people were terrified and kept away from him.

In this way, the book played a great role in saving the master's sect from danger at a critical moment.

In order to prevent such things from happening again, the book was never destroyed. It is not necessary to use it, but it is necessary to have it.

However, because some of the witchcraft techniques contained in it were extremely cruel and inhumane, it became a banned book on witchcraft.

Except for the sect leader with high moral character, other disciples are not allowed to watch! Gu Masters of all generations can only take the essence for self-protection and inheritance.

This rule was to prevent people like Bai Ziweng from using witchcraft to bring disaster to the world. But in the end... it still failed to prevent it.

Because the Gu Master Sect lost its reputation in that war, it quickly declined. By the time of Yue Xiangsong and Bai Ziweng's master, there were only three people left in the entire sect.

Yue Xiangsong's master was a man of noble character and was also the leader of the Gu Master Sect at the time. Gu techniques were only used to save people and protect oneself.

He taught his two disciples to do the same, not to use witchcraft to harm others, otherwise they would be expelled from the sect at the very least, or be cleaned out at the worst.

Both apprentices are very talented. Among them, Yue Xiangsong is the most intelligent and kind, and is the most loved by the master.

The master intended to pass the position of the sect leader to him, but was afraid that Bai Ziweng would be jealous, so he kept it secret from him for the time being and let Yue Xiangsong secretly read and study the "Complete Book of Gu".
