Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

The reason why the founding monarch of the East Wu Kingdom used his own flesh and blood to feed the gold-eating Gu was that the gold-eating Gu loved to eat gold, and driven by instinct, it would keep moving to places where large amounts of gold were hidden.

Unfortunately, the teeth of the gold-eating insect were extremely sharp, and the founding monarch tried countless tools but still failed to trap it.

Fortunately, compared to gold, the gold-loving insect prefers human flesh and blood, which means he must feed it with flesh and blood every day so that it will not keep breaking through the wall and get lost.

At the beginning, the founding monarch tried to feed the gold-eating insect with the flesh and blood of other people, but after a long time, the gold-eating insect would continue to destroy the container in search of gold.

If you use the flesh and blood of one person, the effect will be better and the gold-eating insect will remain stable for a longer time.

Moreover, the gold-eating Gu is the lifeline of the East Witch Kingdom, and people who covet it are everywhere. Allowing others to raise the gold-eating Gu will inevitably attract people with ulterior motives.

Therefore, the founding monarch eventually set a rule that only the monarch was qualified to feed the Gu King with his flesh and blood.

Unfortunately, several decades later, it was unknown which great-grandson of the founding monarch would succeed to the throne. He was unwilling to suffer physical pain, so he came up with a bad idea.

Since feeding the gold-eating insect with flesh and blood is to prevent it from escaping, why not just put it into a human's stomach? That way, it will never be lost.

Moreover, as long as the king has the Holy Spirit Talisman in his hand, he will not be afraid of not being able to take out the gold-eating Gu.

Therefore, the king found a palace maid to be a container for feeding the poisonous insects. Unfortunately, in less than five years, the palace maid was tortured to death by the poisonous insects.

When he died, his heart was eaten by a gold-eating insect.

The king didn't care much and changed people again, sometimes it was a guard, sometimes it was a eunuch...

This method lasted for two generations of kings, until a eunuch who took the gold-eating poison again had evil intentions and escaped with the gold-eating poison in his body, attempting to completely possess it.

Thus, the East Wu civil war, which lasted nearly fifty years, began.

Wherever the gold-eating Gu is, there will be bloody storms, countless people will die tragically, and rivers of blood will flow in the country of Dongwu.

Those who took it were hunted down, and those who possessed it mined gold and gathered troops in an attempt to overthrow the imperial power, and wars broke out everywhere...

During these fifty years, the East Witch Kingdom was on the verge of destruction. It was not until another monarch ascended the throne and turned the tide and took back the Gold-Eating Gu that the civil strife was slowly quelled.

So from then on, the king and the high priest established an iron rule that no one was allowed to feed the Gu with their own body!

This civil unrest was not without benefits. The monarch who calmed the turmoil was extremely smart. He discovered a pattern among those who had been feeding the Gu with their bodies for decades.

The gold-loving Gu has its own preference for human flesh and blood!

The gold-loving Gu likes to eat the flesh and blood of women, especially young women.

Because at the beginning, the young palace maids who took the gold-eating Gu died the fastest, often dying from the poison within five years.

Moreover, it is not surprising that the gold-eating Gu loves the human heart the most. There are many Gu insects that like to eat the heart, such as the drunken Gu.

As a result, the king and the high priest once again established an iron rule to elect a saint to raise the poisonous insects.

The method of selecting a saint is also very simple. First, select women of appropriate age, then take some of their flesh and blood and put it in front of the gold-eating insect. See which person it eats, and that person is the saint.

He also discovered that those who inherited the saint's bloodline also had a strong attraction to poisonous insects, so the saint's bloodline was passed down from generation to generation.

The king had experienced other people's almost obsessive yearning for the gold-eating Gu, so starting from his generation, the existence of the gold-eating Gu was gradually faded, so many years later only some legends about the gold-eating Gu remained among the people, whose authenticity was unknown.

In order to prevent the Saint from developing improper thoughts and causing turmoil in the East Witch Kingdom again, the king did not allow the Saint to have any real power and only gave her a lofty status.

At the same time, in order to reproduce generations of saints, he decided that the king would personally give birth to offspring with the saint, which not only concealed the true role of the saint, but also controlled her every move.

Xuan Yue recalled this secret history and felt that her life and that of her ancestors were extremely tragic.

The reason why they became saints and went through all these twists and turns and pains was simply because the gold-eating Gu thought their flesh and blood were more fragrant!

A deep feeling of unwillingness once again engulfed Xuan Yue. She looked towards the direction of the capital of the East Wu Kingdom, her eyes darkening.

Her tragedy and that of hundreds of countless saints all originated from the gold-loving Gu, so she will end it all!

Xuan Yue took advantage of the moonlight and hurried towards the capital.

Two days ago she was risking her life to escape from there, but now she took the initiative to go back.

After walking for a day and a night, Xuan Yue returned to the place where she had been trapped for twenty years.

She first sneaked to her mother's house, and what she saw was a white snow, white paper money, and white lanterns...

Xuan Yue's eyes were bitter, but she firmly believed in her heart that her mother did not die of despair. Instead, she was determined that she had escaped and died suddenly because she had nothing more to ask for.

This is good, she no longer has any worries in the East Wu Kingdom.

The night wind was cool, and Xuan Yue traveled under the stars to a high tower outside the capital city. This was the residence of the saint.

The Holy Spirit Talisman and the Gold-Eating Gu are placed on the top of the tower.

However, the tower was closely guarded by dozens of guards, and Xuan Yue could not get close alone.

Xuan Yue found a secluded corner, broke off a branch, and stabbed her wrist with the sharp end. Blood gushed out instantly.

She has raised the gold-eating Gu for many years, including four generations of her ancestors. The gold-eating Gu must be very familiar with her blood.

Sure enough, in less than an incense stick of time, a fine rustling sound was heard, which sounded like the sound of wind blowing through leaves.

But Xuan Yue knew very well that this was the sound of the gold-eating Gu.

In the darkness, next to the pool of blood at Xuan Yue's feet, a faint golden light gradually emerged from under the soil.

It is coming!

The moment the gold-eating insect broke out of the ground, Xuan Yue almost laughed out loud!

In order to prevent the gold-eating Gu from escaping after her death and before a new saint was chosen, the king tied the holy spirit talisman to the gold-eating Gu.

There is nothing wrong with doing this. The power of the Holy Spirit Talisman can suppress the gold-eating insect and make it unable to move for a short period of time.

But Xuan Yue did not expect, and no one could have imagined, that in hundreds of years, the gold-eating Gu actually broke free from the shackles of the Holy Spirit Talisman and ran to Xuan Yue's feet with the Holy Spirit Talisman on its back.

Xuan Yue picked up the Holy Spirit Talisman and used it to control the gold-eating Gu. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit Talisman was still useful.

So she put away the Holy Spirit Talisman, packed the gold-eating Gu, buried the bloodstains remaining on the ground, and embarked on the long journey of escape again.

No one believed that a person who was thrown into the turbulent Bilan River with his limbs tied up would survive, so Xuan Yue just had to escape as far away as possible before the loss of the gold-eating Gu was discovered.

Years of swimming training have given Xuan Yue far greater physical strength than ordinary people. She traveled day and night, sometimes riding a wild horse, sometimes walking, and sometimes blending into a caravan. After just three days, she finally arrived at the border town of the East Witch Kingdom.

At this time, she found that many soldiers and officers suddenly poured into the originally peaceful town and searched everywhere.

Xuan Yue's heart sank. It seemed that the king had discovered that the gold-eating Gu and the Holy Spirit Talisman were missing!
