After the two female alchemists carefully searched the area, they saw a shark in a clear spring. It seemed that the spiritual energy nearby was emanating from it. It must be a shark that has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years. people……
In order to capture this shark, the two of them spent a lot of effort. Unfortunately, the shark was extremely smart and managed to escape several times. In the end, there was really no other way. The elder sister of the two remembered an ancient formation called the trapped immortal formation... It is said that it can trap spiritual beasts, and it must be more than enough to capture the sharks, so they set up a formation in the peach forest. He laid a trap and tried every means to lure the shark into the trapped immortal formation.
By the time the shark discovered that he had been tricked, it was already too late and he was trapped in the formation and could no longer escape. Although these two female alchemists wanted to refine the sharks into elixirs, they suffered from the fact that there was no copper furnace for alchemy in the barren mountains. However, if they were to transport the sharks out of the mountains, they were worried that something might happen on the way, so in the end the two of them could only transport the sharks out of the mountains. People slaughtered it on the spot and ate all its flesh and blood...
After hearing what the female alchemist said, the ancestors of Taohuawu were all envious of the two of them's opportunity, and asked if they could teach them the formation that trapped the sharks, so that they could have a chance of immortality.
The two of them knew that this shark was hard to find, and how could it be so easy for you to encounter it every day, so they generously taught them the trapped immortal formation, thinking that as time went by, the villagers would forget about it. .
But the two of them did not expect the greed of human nature. After waiting for a while, the ancestors of Taohuawu realized that there should be only one shark in the spring. Otherwise, how could they never encounter it after living here for more than ten years? ! Therefore, it is impossible to achieve immortality by capturing sharks.
But then they thought again, if eating shark meat can make them immortal, will human flesh that has eaten shark meat also have the same effect? Those two female alchemists may never have thought that the refugees they kindly rescued and took in would eventually target them...
Because they were unprepared, even though the two female alchemists had some Taoism, they still fell in love with these ordinary people in the end, and the ancestors of Taohuawu also "got their wish" and realized their dream of "immortality".
But what no one expected was that all this was just the beginning of a curse. Things seemed to be different from what they imagined. They did not get real immortality, but only had their lifespans delayed by a little longer than ordinary people. It's only two hundred years...but the price to pay for delaying life is much higher than they imagined.
Later, when refugees occasionally passed through this place, the women tried their best to keep them, marry them, have children, and reproduce their offspring... But they soon discovered a terrible thing.
It turns out that this delay in life span will not extend to their descendants. On the contrary, the children born to the first generation of Taohuawu women will even age faster than ordinary people. There are even granddaughters who look older than The situation when grandma is old. This is a terrible curse for the ancestors of Taohuawu, and it is also a punishment for their choice of betrayal in order to live forever...
Unexpectedly, in order to break this curse, they came up with a more terrible way to change the rapid aging of those descendants. So the people in Taohuawu used this method to pass on the gene that delays lifespan from one generation to the next. But for some reason, their offspring always have more girls than boys. Even if they occasionally have one or two boys, it is still difficult. Live to adulthood.
Since there are no men, the women in Taohuawu can only "recruit sons-in-law." However, in order to strictly guard the secrets of Taohuawu, these men are basically abducted and kept at home until they give birth to a child. Children will be completely released from confinement only when they grow old...
Because by that time, most men can only accept their fate. Even if they are allowed to return to their original lives, they will not be able to find their place again. They might as well continue to stay in Taohuawu, wearing clothes to stretch out their hands, What about the days when food comes to open your mouth and you don’t have to worry about food and clothing? !
After listening to this, Song Jiang couldn't help but sigh, "I've always heard about the abduction of women and children before, but I didn't expect that we would encounter the abduction of men!? I still have a question. What should I do if the abducted man cannot have children? How to do it?"
"Men who cannot give birth to children are just a waste of food. Usually they are killed and buried in the peach forest as fertilizer..." Cuicui's mother said without blinking.
Song Jiang felt a chill in his heart after hearing this. It seems that not all men can enjoy emperor-like treatment here! Then he looked at Bai Shaofei and said, "Are you so open-minded at such a young age? Why did you come back on your own after you had obviously escaped?"
After hearing this, Bai Shaofei smiled bitterly and said, "You misunderstood, I was not abducted from outside, my body is originally filled with the blood of Taohuawu people... So even if I go out to live, it is impossible to tell the secrets of Taohuawu. "
Upon hearing this, Song Jiang understood that Bai Shaofei must be the boy who was rarely born, so he was surprised and said, "Don't you say that boys here generally don't live to adulthood?"
"This is not absolute. My brother and I... who is the eldest son of my fourth uncle, have all grown up successfully. Because we are rare boys, we are favored and can even go to the outside world to receive education. It's a pity. In the end, we still haven't escaped the curse of fate. Even if we live to adulthood, we will be riddled with all kinds of diseases in the end and will not be able to enjoy an ordinary life." Bai Shaofei sighed.
After hearing this, Song Jiang asked with some confusion, "Why hasn't the longevity gene been passed on to you?!"
Bai Shaofei shook his head and said, "For some reason, the art of immortality is passed on to women but not to men. Even if we eat the previous generation's..., we can't change the fate of short life. Maybe we in Taohuawu have received too many things that ordinary people should not have." Longevity, so God punishes Taohuawu for not having a man to continue its incense."
Song Jiang finally figured out all the secrets in Taohuawu at this time. When he thought that they had witnessed the terrifying side of the women in Taohuawu last night, he felt sympathy for Bai Shaofei, the only male, from the bottom of his heart. .
