Antitoxin

ir of eyes burning with terror fixed upon me."Don't be afraid, this is your path, go ahead." The man with a fox-like face let out a cackle: “Since you fell into the Ghostly Path, you must have been a...I am the youngest daughter at home, cherished by my elders and loved by my siblings. If it weren't for the current uncertain environment and the threat to my life, I wouldn't have to endure this so much.

"Pain Xīngū is satisfied, it won't bother you proactively. What pain are you talking about" He snorted coldly and continued walking forward.

This guy!

Don't you have any self-awareness at all!

"It's you who hurt me! You didn't see how much blood I lost, and you still mocked me. Aren't you human!" My chest heaved and I gasped for breath in anger.

“Are you human” he sneered, shaking his head. “ … I’m not, so don’t expect me to pity you. Since you’re unwilling to leave the mark I gave you, just obediently be a vessel, and wait for my purpose to be fulfilled. Perhaps I’ll kindly let you live.”

His words dissipated the anger I had just mustered.

I pursed my lips and said in a low voice, “I’ve been obedient enough. You don’t have to threaten me like this... Just go see whoever you want…”

Just let me go home.

Anyway, I've already been bullied by him, so it's useless to be upset now.

The was also planted. I'm going home to see if my father and elders can figure out a way to remove it.

This magnificent "cliff city" is more than just these houses built into the mountains; it also features some man-made and natural caves and tunnels.

A secluded path leads to an unknown paradise.

He brought me to the entrance of a cave. Inside, there was a vast open space with a sky that was gray and overcast. The walls of the cave surrounded it on all sides, and mountain springs converged into a small lake. Water flowed there, and people dressed in ancient styles were fetching water.

Emerald vines hung down, reflecting the shimmering water. There were flying flower petals and the refreshing scent of plants washed by the rain in the air.

In the distance, there is a three-tiered altar of white jade, with a large, round stone pillar in the middle.

This is simply beyond my comprehension.

If a utopia truly existed, wouldn't this be it

"What are you standing there for Come on." he urged.

"Oh, oh..." I trailed after him blindly.

Everyone who saw him bowed respectfully to him, whether he could see them or not.

And Mu Wanchen, with eyes straight ahead, directly brought me to the stone pillar altar.

I'm a little scared. These villagers have their own beliefs, and I wonder if they practice human sacrifice.

Please don't let me get involved in something I can't understand. I've already had a terrible day getting out the door.

On the stone pillar were carved intricate patterns. His hand pressed against the front railing's cylindrical post, his lips moving silently in words I couldn't understand.

"Kneel down."

"What" I didn't react.

He said flatly: "I had two wives before, but neither of them lived to see dawn. The female Gu worm would kill them the moment it entered their bodies... But they still held that title."

This...this is simply unbelievable.

"You, you, why would you use this poison to harm people And specifically target your own wife You know how poisonous this thing is, why would you put it on others! What grudge do I have against you" I demanded.

His side profile radiated a cold aura, not willing to say another word to me.

I just want to cry, what kind of person is this! They took advantage of me and still acted like they were disgusted!

After a long pause, he repeated, "Kneel down."

"I, I won't kneel!" I sniffed and choked out, "Why should I kneel You killed another woman, why should I kneel! I was hurt by you too—ah—"

He actually grabbed my shoulders and forced me to kneel on the marble stone platform!

"Waa...waa..." I bit my lip, trying not to cry out. My knee was practically shattered!

"I make you kneel to appease the resentment. Do you want to be haunted by vengeful spirits"

Grief... spirit

This amulet, with its special scent, can repel many common poisonous insects. According to tradition, it belongs to my wife.

Mu Wanchen, while speaking, twisted open the stone pillar in his hand.

"There was once a woman who desperately wanted to become the witch queen, so she tested herself with poisonous insects. She died unwillingly and cursed before her death, causing her resentment to linger. She is kept here to suppress...making you kowtow is to appease the vengeful spirit."

This is a mechanism, inside of which lies a small sachet wrapped in layers of brocade.

He tossed the sachet into my arms and said, "Take this token with you."

Token

I untied the small sachet. The moment my finger touched its contents, I was jolted with a chill that ran through my entire body. Suddenly, hallucinations filled my vision —

A woman with blood flowing from her seven orifices appeared suddenly, like a fleeting fragment on television!

"Oh!" I was terrified, and instinctively flung the sachet away!

"What the heck is this! There's a ghost in here! I don't want it, no! Just take it away—" I stumbled back down two steps.

Thank goodness I wasn't scared of ghosts since I was little! Otherwise, I would have been so frightened that I would foam at the mouth and have a heart attack!

"Are you crazy! What do you want me to do with this cursed thing! If you want to kill me, just do it! Why go through all this trouble!" I cried and shouted in anger.

He bent down and picked up the sachet, weighing it in his hand. Suddenly, he let out a ferocious growl: "…Get out!!"

The sound was deafening, and the vengeful spirit of the female ghost vanished.

“Kowtow!” he roared at me.

I… I don't know what I did wrong to deserve this!

It's so frustrating!!!

I bit my teeth and shed tears, angrily "bumped" my head twice.

My forehead was bruised and swollen, I did it on purpose. I wished I could knock myself unconscious -anded her the talisman.Jiang Qiyun pulled me into his embrace and took the pink talisman from my hand."This was given to me by my dad. He said it was painted by hand by my mom. Dad kept it in the safe...
