Chapter 410 - 410 409 the Mystery of Northern Xiang
?Chapter 410: 409, the Mystery of Northern Xiang Chapter 410: 409, the Mystery of Northern Xiang Meng Yujuan shook her head with a smile, “I don’t know either, it’s just something my dad mentioned when telling stories to me and my brother when we were little. But I only know about Gu-poisoning. It’s said that in the village, the women on the third day of the third lunar month of the Ancient Calendar would dig a deep pit behind their own houses and place a large jar in it. Then they would pick dozens of herbs from the mountains, crush them, and put them into the jar. They would also place incense around the jar, and when the poisonous snakes, centipedes, toads, and locusts from the mountains smelled it, they would crawl and jump into the jar. Once a hundred poison insects entered the jar, they would cover it and not provide any food inside, forcing the insects to fight each other to death, until only one living creature was left. The woman would then bite her own ring finger, letting blood drop into the jar. After nurturing the poisonous creature for 49 days, they’d extract it, and its feces and saliva would be mixed with 52 kinds of herbs like Horny Goat Weed, cardamom, and She Chuang Zi to create the Gu poison.”
“So there really is Gu poison?” Chen Xiaomeng’s eyes shone brightly, curiously asking.
“Northern Xiang is vast and rich in resources, home to many mysterious mountain tribes. Legends like Gu-poisoning come from those tribes. Our area is just made up of ordinary villages; we don’t have such bizarre things,” Meng Yujuan said with a laugh. She had been very curious when her father told her about it, but those mountain strongholds were not places she could go to just because she wanted to.
“Then what is the Chen State Talisman?” Zhang Qi asked, turning towards Xiao Yan.
“The books say that Chen State Talisman is both a spell and a talisman. It originated in Chen State County and thus got its name. Chen State Talisman is a spell used by wizards to solve issues of birth, aging, sickness, and death through curses, encompassing a wide variety of intricate designs. For instance, Nine Dragons Water is made by chopping three chopsticks used for eating into three pieces, nine pieces in total, sharpening both ends, then using a curse to transform a bowl of water. One swallows the nine pieces of sharpened chopsticks and drinks the transformed water to cure the minor problem of fishbones stuck in one’s throat. There’s an even more marvelous Chen State Talisman called the Returning Snake Technique, where a wizard meditates in the wilderness, chanting curses, and can gather all the snakes from a mountain,” Xiao Yan said with a smile. She had been particularly eager to see what this so-called Chen State Talisman was when she read about it in a book.
“How magical! If only we could see it with our own eyes,” Wang Fei said with a look of longing. Being able to gather all the snakes from a mountain, what a badass thing to do!
