"What did you say?"
Hearing Bai Linger's words, the three people by the side were all stunned.
"Ai!"
Bai Linger sighed: "Although it's a little sad, but I still have to tell you, I'm afraid you made a mistake from the very beginning, this is a huge misunderstanding. Those Gu are not trying to harm you, but to protect you! "
A Xiang at this time felt like she was struck by lightning, her face was full of astonishment: "What exactly do you mean by this?"
"I've carefully observed your body just now. There's a clear difference between your body and a normal person. However, without careful observation, you won't be able to tell."
"Difference?" What's the difference? "
Xiang Anjie who was at the side asked in surprise.
Bai Linger looked at him and said, "Five of his meridians are incomplete, and it doesn't seem like it was created the day after tomorrow.
"Congenital incomplete five meridians?"
Hearing this, Mao Xiaoting, who was at the side, instantly froze.
As members of the Demon Subduing Family, they had some understanding of Tao techniques and the traditional concept of the human body. Hence, she knew that the "five meridians" Bai Linger referred to should be the corresponding liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys of the human body.
Generally speaking, the five viscera qi was the foundation of the human body, and the five meridians should also be strong, which had been the case since the moment he was born.
If his five meridians were incomplete, then it would be even worse. This kind of person would usually not live long.
The Innate Five Meridians was not all a rare situation, so those who had this condition often had a special name.
"Sky Law?"
After knitting her brows together, Mao Xiaoting finally said these four words.
Hearing this, Bai Linger at the side looked at her with a little more praise: "Seems like you know quite a bit too huh."
"Someone from Heaven's Punishment? "What is this?"
Xiang Anjie and A Xiang who were at the side were both stunned hearing this.
Bai Linger shook her head: "Inborn Incomplete Five Veins are very rare, so in the ancient times, people call this kind of person the 'Sky Law'. As the name implies, the person that is punished by the heavens will never have complete Five Veins, and will eventually die very soon."
"Be punished by the heavens?"
Hearing this, A Xiang's face revealed a hint of astonishment, as if she couldn't believe it: "That's not right, before I became an adult and accepted the parasite, my body never experienced any kind of situation, and I could have also left the village. At that time, I even went to the United States to study, could it be that all of this wasn't caused by the parasite?"
"That's another point I want to make."
Bai Linger looked at A Xiang with some sympathy: "Generally speaking, people who receive Sky Law will not live to adulthood, which means to say, before you reach the age of eighteen, you won't have any special feelings. But after you turn eighteen, it is very likely that you will die suddenly.
At this moment, A Xiang was dumbstruck. She couldn't believe that the thing she hated the most, was actually the thing that had been saving her the entire time. The direction of her hatred was completely wrong from the very beginning!
"But that doesn't make sense. Since the Gu can save her, then why did it restrict her from leaving this place? Furthermore, A Xiang's clan only has girls and no boys, isn't that the curse of the parasite? "
"It is indeed a curse, but it shouldn't be a Gu's curse. If this happens, it means that it did not happen by chance, but rather that there was a huge power a long time ago that placed a curse on your ancestors that cut off all descendants. It is because of this curse that you all will never give birth to a man, and even if it is a girl who was lucky, it will only mean that they will not live past the age of adulthood because of the curse that was inflicted on them. "
Compared to the shock from before, A Xiang had actually calmed down at this moment. "To be able to curse our family, and to be able to affect so many more generations … This kind of power isn't something an ordinary person can possess, right? "
"Yeah, I think so too."
Bai Linger expressed his agreement: "To put it crudely, it is very likely that the power of this curse was directly cast down by the heavens. If I am not mistaken, your ancestor must have committed an unforgivable sin, which is why the heavens were so furious and placed this curse on him!"
Hearing this, A Xiang had already become silent. Perhaps in her heart, she had already started to think about what her ancestor did that led to such a calamity descending from the skies.
"After receiving such a punishment, your ancestors should have thought of a way to use the power of the seedling Gu to repair the five meridians incomplete body, which would allow you and your descendants to live for ten more years. Therefore, your clan, which could originally only live to eighteen years of age, was forced to live to be fifty by the power of the Gu, and this is also the limits of the Gu's power. When the previous generation's host is about to die, the Gu would move on to the next generation, and begin to repair your five meridians body."
"That's not right!"
Hearing this, Xiang Anjie suddenly felt that it was a little strange, "Since the strength of this Gu is able to repair the five meridians in the body, then why doesn't it let the host leave the village?"
"I think there's a reason for this. The heaven's curse might have killed your ancestors, but he used the heaven's curse's loophole to let the females of this generation live on. If the heavens knew about this, they definitely wouldn't be allowed to do it. So, even if you use the power of the parasite to repair your five meridians in your body, it is still not enough, your ancestor still has to find a place where his descendants can hide from the heavens. The Baishamian is tall and dense, its position is remote, it should be such a place, so … "
After saying that, A Xiang suddenly laughed bitterly and opened her mouth: "So when we become adults, we cannot leave this place. If we are found by the heavens still hanging on, we will attract Sky Law right? Because I'm worried that the heavens will kill us, the Gu in my body will think of all means to keep us here, right? "
He could tell that A Xiang's eyes were currently filled with despair. After all, he knew he had been wrong all this time, and his clan had always been targeted by the heavens, so no one would feel good about it, right?
After all, this meant that there was no way to release the curse on her body. Even if she did so according to her previous plans, her fate would not change after leaving the village. She would still die, and die even faster.
"Why? Why are we so cruelly treated by fate? Our ancestors may have committed a heinous crime... But what does that have to do with us? What we have is not guilty ah... God, did you hear that? Why are you so heartless to us? "Why?"
At this moment, A Xiang cried sorrowfully towards the sky, before finally kneeling down and crying sorrowfully.
Seeing this kind-hearted girl crying to such an extent, Mao Xiaoting could not help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"This will probably be difficult …"
Xiang Anjie shook his head in response. Although his understanding of Tao techniques was not as vast as Bai Linger's, he was still clear that Destiny's Mandate was the strongest power in the world, and no one could resist it. It was the so-called 'destiny cannot be defied', and anyone who defied it would eventually die.
"No!"
But at this time, Bai Linger suddenly shook her head: "It's not like there's no way to dispel this curse, and it's a coincidence that we know of a way right now!"
"Methods... Is there any way to resolve this? "
Hearing that, A Xiang who was kneeling on the ground immediately raised her head, and looked at Bai Linger with an intense desire to live.
Bai Linger laughed bitterly: "I do have a way, but I don't think that's a good way. Furthermore, I feel that the way your ancestors left to your descendants is pretty good …"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. If you have any ideas, hurry up and say them!"
At this time, Xiang Anjie impatiently interrupted her rambling.
Hearing that, Bai Linger shrugged her shoulders: "Is there even a need to ask? Isn't the method you and I used? "
"Huh? The two of us? "
Speaking till here, Xiang Anjie was startled, but immediately reacted: "You mean …"
"Yes, zombies are a special existence in this world, jumping out of the Three Realms is not part of the Five Elements, as long as you become a zombie, even if you leave the village, your natural enemy will not be able to affect you, your family's Sky Law will end as well, but to be honest, I think becoming a zombie is also a kind of curse, although it can live forever, but it also means that you are no longer a human, but a monster that eats human flesh, drinks human blood, you can't move forward in the light, you can only wander around like a mouse in the dark, what do you say?" Can you live like that? "
After listening to Bai Linger's words, A Xiang became silent.
Indeed, it now appeared that this was the only way to get rid of the curse.
But isn't this the same as tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall? What was the point of using such a method when he was freed from one curse and would instead fall into another?
Xiang Anjie also expressed his opinion, "No, this method will absolutely not work. We know better than anyone else how disgusting a zombie's fate is, so this kind of curse isn't much better than the one on your body, A Xiang. "At the very least, you can die from old age and experience this short but beautiful life of yours. However, we can only become monsters that will never grow old or die, unable to be together with humans …"
"Wait!"
At this time, Mao Xiaoting who was at the side seemed to have thought of something. "If we can find a way to remove the Zombie Gu, wouldn't we be able to get rid of the zombie's fate after A Xiang becomes a zombie?"
"That's right!"
Hearing Mao Xiaoting's words, the few of them were overjoyed: Isn't this the best way to wake him up? If the Zombie Gu was able to help, not only would it restore Xiang Anjie and Bai Linger back to normal, it would also help A Xiang to successfully escape the shackles of fate, and release him from the curse!
However, Bai Linger did not hold much hope for that to work. Honestly speaking, I am still doubtful about the method to remove the Zombie Gu and make us normal again, who knows if it will work?
"How do you know if it will succeed or not if you don't try?"
Just then, A Xiang stood up. "You're right, this method might be the way to save us in the end!"
"In that case, A Xiang, you …"
"Big Brother Xiang, we will head up the mountain tomorrow, but we need to find a way to remove the Zombie Gu!"
A Xiang had already calmed down and returned to the calm girl from before, "Regardless of whether or not it will succeed in the end, I must work hard to try it out now. If I don't work hard, I might not succeed, but I definitely won't succeed!"
