Chapter 968 - The Wei family’s technique of raising gu

Sometimes, he hated his uncle. If it weren’t for his uncle, how could his mother take this path? And how could she live such a life?

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply in his heart and looked helpless.

Bai Zhi had no intention of trying to figure out what the helplessness in his eyes was. She wanted to see the book immediately, so she asked: “Where is your uncle? Can you take me to see him?”

Wei Xuan said: “My uncle also lives in this mountain, but he rarely comes back. He often goes out and travels everywhere. We haven’t seen each other much this year.”

Right here in this mountain?

Bai Zhi suddenly thought of something and wondered: “Since your uncle has a book about heart-biting gu, why is your mother became so excited to see it? She also said it is the first time she had seen in her life.”

Wei Xuan said: “It was indeed the first time she saw it in her life. Uncle’s book was a secret book passed down by their ancestors. Originally, my mother was not qualified to read it, nor learn the gu cultivation technique of the Wei family.”

He paused and lowered his head: “When I was seven years old, my father died because he save my uncle. My uncle was grateful to my father, so he passed this gu technique to my mother, but my mother studied late and had poor talents. She couldn’t learn many high-class gu techniques, she could only the superficial ones.”

“Then this heart-biting gu, is it the first-class Gu?”

Wei Xuan nodded: “Yes. It’s not easy to raise this heart-biting Gu. My uncle tried it for many years, but it was unsuccessful. Then he met a foreigner and went out with him. He rarely went back here since then. Unexpectedly, he developed it.”

Bai Zhi told Wei Xuan about the events in the capital. Wei Xuan’s eyes widened in shock.

Then he repeatedly shook his head: “This is impossible. My uncle would not do such a thing. Although he raised gu and had a small accomplishment, he never harmed people with Gu, never!”

In the end, Imperial Doctor Zhang was not any younger. After hearing this, his anger fired up: “You also said that the heart-biting gu technique is a hidden technique of your Wei family. Then if it’s not him, who is it?”

Wei Xuan was a little annoyed, but he didn’t know how to refute it. What the imperial doctor said was right. This heart-biting gu was indeed a secret technique of the Wei family.

However, no one has raised this Gu for hundreds of years.

Now it has been raised. However, not only has it been raised, but also cultivated such a huge amount, which was incredible.

It takes a huge amount of effort to raise a gu, let alone so many. How was this possible?

Think about his mother. She was less than forty, but she looks like an old woman in fifty. Everyone was calling her old lady. She was still in the age of being called madam or sister-in-law.

Wei Xuan said: “I’ll take you there, but you must promise me that you can’t jump to conclusions before things are clear. My uncle is not the culprit.”

Bai Zhi nodded immediately: “This is natural. No need to mention us, even the Yamen takes people, they pay attention to evidence. If there is no evidence, why should we convict people?”

Wei Xuan glanced at her but didn’t say anything. He turned around and went to the inner room. After a while, he came out. He changed into a darker long gown and changed his headscarf to the same color as his clothes.

There were no patches on these clothes. It should be what he wears when going out to meet guests.

At this time, the iron kettle on the small stove had made a gurgling sound, and white gas continued to blow out.

Wei Xuan took off the iron kettle and put out the fire again. Only then he took the three out.

Wei Xuan and his mother live on the mountainside, but his uncle lives on the top of the mountain.
