Du Qing's mother was a witch of the Miao tribe. She fell in love with a man who had mistakenly entered the Miao tribe. She used voodoo to make him fall in love with her and gave birth to Du Qing. However, she did not expect the young man to be recognized by his family by accident. Du Qing's mother was forced to cure the man's gu poison. Du Qing's mother thought that the man would have some feelings for her, but unexpectedly, after the man removed the gu poison, the first thing he said to her was," You disgust me. After saying that, the man committed suicide in front of her mother.
Du Qing's mother went crazy at that time. She turned the man's corpse into a bed warmer for the Gu worm, making the man as disgusted as her. Then, he taught his daughter Miaojiang voodoo, forcing the young Du Qing to come into contact with the voodoo. Every time his daughter was close to death, he hugged her and cried bitterly. She apologized to Du Qing over and over again and forced him to practice again and again. Du Qing couldn't stand the crying and finally killed her mother when she awakened her Human Pillar at the age of 12. Du Qing had placed her mother and father together, making them hate each other.
Du Qing, who had killed her mother, was finally free, but she was also confused. She didn't know what she was going to do in the future. Under the disgust of the villagers, she thought of the Miao tribe's voodoo inheritance that her mother had mentioned before. It was said that the saintess of Miaojiang had secretly escaped with the inheritance of the gu technique for her lover. Du Qing didn't know why, but before her mother was alive, she hated gu arts, but now that she was dead, she was obsessed with gu arts.
Du Qing didn't want to admit that he was regretful, he didn't want to admit that he was cheap. So she told herself that it was that woman who forced her, that woman who harmed her. Only by finding the inheritance of the gu technique could she live and crawl out of this poisonous swamp that had tortured her for most of her life.
Yang Guo didn't know that someone was observing them. After worshipping the goddess and her ancestors, she got up and knelt down before the statue of the goddess. Then, she pressed down on the stone pillar in the middle of the statue. The stone pillar slowly rose, revealing a genealogy book with a black background and golden patterns at the base.
Yang Guo placed the red sand and brush properly, and then bled the red-crowned rooster that she had brought over. Wang Xiao, who was dressed in traditional Yao clothing, knelt on the ground. Yang Guo had surrounded him with chicken blood. Then, Yang Guo mixed the chicken blood and red sand, and tapped the child's forehead. She opened the genealogy, flipped to Wang Bolin's name, and wrote Wang Xiao's name.
Han Jianguo, who was hidden in the stone wall, did not see the genealogy either. If he saw it now, he would definitely be surprised. Because below his and Wang Shuping's names was Wang Bolin's name, and Yang Guo and Wang Xiao were Wang Bolin's children. This was the true story of meeting but not knowing each other.
Yang Guo, who placed the genealogy into the stone pillar, pressed down on her flustered heart and finally let out a sigh of relief. That's great. Now that I'm done, I can go home.
"Professor Han, bad news, bad news!”A Yang Emissary in a black and white checkered military uniform ignored Yang Guo in the front hall and hurriedly rushed into the back hall and shouted,"Professor Han, it's bad. Lake Mutu has risen.”
Yang Guo and Wang Xiao looked at each other and followed behind the man. They bumped into Han Jianguo, Han Fei, and Du Qing, who had just come out of their hiding place.
Han Jianguo glanced at the two of them and frowned.""What's wrong?"
The Yang Emissary who reported the news swallowed and pointed outside in a panic.""For some reason, the Wood Figure Lake outside has suddenly started to boil. The lake water rose at a strange speed. When I came in, the water level had already submerged the stone steps on both sides of the mountainside. Doctor, if this continues, we will drown in the temple.”
"What?" Han Jianguo widened his eyes and led his men to the entrance of the temple.
Yang Guo stood in the corner, watching the water that was emitting white smoke sweep through the valley like a beast. Those giant trees were washed away by the huge force and uprooted. The flood brought along sand, boulders, and trees as it rushed toward the temple like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain. They would arrive at the temple in less than half a minute. It was too late for them to run out now.
Humans were often insignificant in the face of nature, even the Yang Emissaries and Human Pillars who knew magic.
"Quickly block the stone door!" Han Jianguo ordered.
The others who were shocked immediately blocked the huge stone door. However, the stone door's endurance was always limited. The flood would eventually break it open.
The flood crashed against the stone door with a loud crash. Warm yellow mud flowed in through the cracks and quickly soaked the floor.
"This won't do! The impact of the flood was too strong, and the stone door could not hold on for long. Even if the stone door holds on, we'll still be buried inside and unable to get out.”Han Fei frowned.
"This temple was built on the mountain. In front of her was Lake Mutu, and behind her was a cliff. We have nowhere to hide." Han Jianguo gritted his teeth. Back then, he had only entered the temple once when he got married, and it was only in the main hall. He was not familiar with this place at all.
"No, maybe there's a secret passage inside."
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Yang Guo reported to Wang Xiao and continued," We Yao people believe in the existence of ghosts. It was said that the first clan leader had built a huge palace for the Goddess so that she could continue to enjoy the glory of the world after her death. After we die, our clansmen will also be placed inside and continue to take care of the goddess in the form of souls.”
Just as everyone was tempted, they heard Du Qing say coldly,"No matter how beautiful the palace is, it is still a place for the dead. If we can't get out after we go in, what's the difference between that and dying now? Is the underground palace more comfortable?"
Yang Guo ignored Du Qing's hostility and turned to Han Jianguo, who was deep in thought, and said,""The palace of our Yao Goddess is not an underground palace, but a place similar to reality. I can bring you to find him, but you have to bring my brother along!”
"Why? If we kidnap you, we can still do it ~"
Han Jianguo waved his hand to stop Du Qing from continuing. He glanced at Yang Guo and her brother, who he had met once, and nodded." I have also heard of this legend of the Yao people." I promised to bring your brother along, but I can't guarantee the dangers on the road.”Han Jianguo wouldn't sacrifice his trusted subordinate just because of a possibility. If the other party died, they could still find him themselves. Judging from the girl's age, she probably only knew about it and didn't know the exact route.
Yang Guo really didn't know the specific route. She had heard from Grandpa Li that this route was too dangerous for a living person. The corpse herders would only stop after a short distance and then use the Soul-Guiding Bell as a guide to guide the corpse into the palace.
The flood outside was getting more and more violent, and the sound of tree trunks breaking against the stone door could be heard. The water in the hall had already accumulated to his calves. Yang Guo carried Wang Xiao and quickly ran to the back hall with the group.
The back hall was more exquisite than the front hall. Not only were there exquisite murals, but there were also a few sub-halls with statues of past clan leaders.
Yang Guo brought a group of people to a branch hall on the east side. In the middle of the hall stood a statue of a man holding a sword in his right hand and a lotus flower in his left hand. Yang Guo pulled Wang Xiao to kneel before the statue of the first clan leader. She placed her left hand on the lotus flower on the left hand of the statue and closed her eyes to recite an incantation.
An ear-splitting cracking sound came from the hall. It turned out that the stone door had been broken by a huge rock in the flood. The huge rocks that came in along with the flood knocked down the stone pillars on both sides of the statue of the goddess. The stone pillars broke, and the ever-burning lamp fell into the water. The black genealogy with gold on it was also swept into the water and disappeared.
The people in the back hall were anxious, and Wang Xiao also stared at Yang Guo's sweaty side profile.
"Hmph, can you do it or not?" Du Qing was the least afraid of death among them, even though he knew that the death of the human pillar meant that his soul would dissipate. However, she did not care at all. To her, living was torture.
"Don't move!" Han Jianguo stopped Du Qing from pushing Yang Guo and glared at her coldly.
Just as the flood from the front hall was about to rush into the back hall, the statue moved, revealing a passage as tall as a person on the stone wall behind him.
Yang Guo carried Wang Xiao and quickly ran into the passage. The others did not dare to fall behind and quickly followed. The statue returned to its original position after Yang Guo and the others entered, sealing the hole tightly.
There was a circular hall behind the passage. There were three carved doors of different colors on the stone wall of the hall. They were red, black, and blue. Above each of the three doors was a luminous pearl.
"Wow, I didn't expect you Yao people to be so rich!”Du Qing looked at the three doors, as if he wanted to open them.
"I advise you not to move." Yang Guo frowned as she looked at Du Qing." This is the door that leads to three different places. The black gate was the passage for traitors. Red was the passage for murderers and criminals; The blue ones are for the ordinary dead."
"Hmph, whatever you say is true? I thought that black was a normal dead passage!”Du Qing couldn't stand Yang Guo acting like a good sister. It was human nature to separate when disaster struck. Kinship and whatnot did not exist at all!
Han Jianguo ignored their argument and asked Yang Guo," Why aren't you leaving?”
"My brother is hungry, and I've only been here before. I don't know what's going on behind the door." Yang Guo sat on the ground and took out the steamed buns and water prepared by Grandma Song from her backpack and handed them to Wang Xiao.
Han Jianguo and Han Fei looked at each other. They didn't know if the girl was right or wrong. If the truth was as she said, then they really needed to rest now.
After Yang Guo and Wang Xiao finished dinner, she looked at her phone. There was no signal. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Suddenly, the sound of impact came from the stone wall. Yang Guo was stunned. Wasn't the flood blocked?
Han Jianguo listened carefully to the voice and looked at Du Qing with a particularly cold gaze." What did you do just now?”
"I-I didn't do anything." Du Qing stood stiffly not far from the black door. The voice from before came from behind her again.
"Du Qing, if you want to die, I don't mind making you wish you were dead!”Han Jianguo pointed his gun at Du Qing's head.
Yang Guo glanced at the amethyst weapon in Han Jianguo's hand. He wondered what this gun was for.
The force of the collision became stronger and stronger, accompanied by roars. Yang Guo was stunned and shouted,"Not good, it should be a zombie."”
Everyone was attracted by Yang Guo's shout, and their expressions became more and more serious. Zombies were monsters that were harder to deal with than ghosts. From the movements, they were at least white zombies.
Suddenly, the sound of the door closing came from next door. Du Qing had taken advantage of their daze to open the blue door next door and run away.
"F * ck, if I catch you, I'll make you wish you were dead!”Han Fei tried to open the blue door, but he found that the door could not be opened.
Yang Guo lowered her eyes and grabbed Wang Xiao tightly, saying coldly: "There's no need to try. Behind the door is a movable stone wall. Even if you dismantle the door, we won't be able to enter.”
"Then what should we do?" Han Fei also vented his anger on Yang Guo, who hadn't explained the situation clearly in advance.
"Let's go through that door!" Yang Guo pointed at the red door with her fair finger.
"But do you know what the hell is inside?”
"I don't know, but to give those sinners a chance to turn over a new leaf, the ancestors opened a passage behind the red door. From there, we have a chance to enter the Goddess Palace. The zombies behind the black door were all refined by generations of clan leaders who used secret techniques to trap their souls in their corpses and endure inhuman pain day and night. They were harder to deal with than ordinary zombies.”Yang Guo looked at Han Fei with a cold expression.
Wang Xiao, who was beside him, glanced at Han Fei and quickly got up. He carried the backpack on his back and held Yang Guo's small hand tightly.
The black door changed shape after a loud noise. Everyone could see a red eye looking at them maliciously through the gap.
"Listen to her and enter the red door." Han Jianguo said decisively.
"You guys go first, I'll cover the rear." Yang Guo said.
Han Jianguo looked suspiciously at the determined Yang Guo.
"My younger brother is with you." Yang Guo said.
"Alright." Hearing Yang Guo's words, Wang Xiao turned around and entered the red door without saying anything. The others looked at each other and entered the red door.
Entering the door was equivalent to entering another world. Han Jianguo led everyone into the dark passage and asked Wang Xiao," Your sister is staying. Why aren't you worried at all?”
Wang Xiao tightened his heart and said calmly,""Life is only a matter of death. I won't stop her from doing anything, but if she dies, I don't mind dying with her.”
Han Jianguo was stunned by the child's words. After a while, he sneered and said,"How many people in this world are not afraid of death? You're just young and don't know the benefits of living.”
Wang Xiao did not argue with him. Before Wang Bailin died, he planted a Pulling Strings Gu on him. He had a child gu, while Yang Guo had a mother gu. A person who was planted with the Pulling Strings Gu was equivalent to another person's slave. The person who had the child gu could not take the initiative to hurt the person who had the mother gu. If Yang Guo was sick or injured, Wang Xiao would also feel unwell. If Yang Guo died, Wang Xiao, who possessed the Offspring Gu, would sacrifice himself to save her life.
Wang Xiao had once resented the unfairness of fate. Back then, he hated Yang Guo to the core. He even used the power of the water ghost to die with her. But now, Wang Xiao was very glad. He was glad that he had a family member whose blood was like water. A family member who could not be separated even in death.
Yang Guo saw the few of them disappear behind the red door. Her eyes that were staring at the black door gradually turned golden, and a surge of power erupted from her body. Not only did Han Jianguo and the others who entered the passage have goosebumps, even the zombie behind the black door was stunned.
Yang Guo's hands formed a seal, and a golden talisman with a little red starlight passed through the black door and hit the group of zombies. The zombies that were tainted by the red light quickly turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I, Yang Guo, as the 18th generation witch of the Yao clan, order you to continue to protect the sacred land of the Yao clan and never leave.”As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Guo bit her finger. The golden blood formed a sealing talisman with golden light and continued to seal the black door. The zombie inside roared and fell asleep again.
Yang Guo looked at the black door that had returned to its original state, then turned around and walked into the red door.
Han Jianguo and the others walked through the passageway. In front of them was a huge karst cave. Below the karst cave was an underground river. White mist rose, making the karst cave look like a fairyland.
"Doctor, this place doesn't look that dangerous.”Han Fei picked up a stone and threw it into the mist below. The mist rolled for a while before returning to its original state.
Han Jianguo looked at the rolling clouds in front of him without saying a word.
Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and narrowed his eyes to feel the coolness between his fingers." The surface of the mist hasn't changed, but when it rolls, it will bring out a bloody smell. There should be no less than ten evil ghosts hidden inside.”
Han Jianguo looked at the child's familiar movements and reached out his hand to sense it." He's right. There are dozens of cold Qi in the mist. Moreover, there might be something more troublesome than ghosts inside.”
"Doctor, can you see what's inside?”Han Fei frowned and asked.
Han Jianguo bit his fingernail, and pure Yang blood splattered out from between his fingers and shot into the mist. The mist immediately turned black, and an extremely unpleasant stench could be smelled.
"It's a little tricky." Han Jianguo shook his head.
"Then should we ask the people from the Underworld to help?”Han Fei asked carefully.
"Do you think Yin Mubai is that free?”Han Jianguo wouldn't beg Yin Mubai, that arrogant bastard, unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Kid, when is your sister coming in?”Han Fei asked Wang Xiao.
"I don't know." Wang Xiao frowned as he looked at Han Jianguo. This old fart actually had pure Yang blood as well.
"Hey, kid, aren't you afraid that I'll throw you into the mist to scout the way?”Han Fei was a little impatient.
"If you dare to touch him, I'll chop off one of your hands first!”A golden charm brought up a wind blade and hit Han Fei's outstretched hand.
"Yang Guo!" Wang Xiao heard Yang Guo's voice and quickly ran to the passage.
"Are you alright?" Yang Guo sized up the child, her gaze towards Han Fei was filled with coldness.
Han Fei covered his bleeding right hand with his left hand, looking at Yang Guo and her brother with a deep malice in his eyes.
"Han Fei, stop!" Han Jianguo stopped Han Fei, who was about to take out his weapon." It's a special period. Don't be nosy."”
Han Fei glared at Yang Guo and asked his men to bandage his wound. He didn't see that the blood on the ground quickly disappeared, and the white fog seemed to be surging more and more.
