The vast Miao territory is a hot and humid land, full of poisonous insects and filled with miasma, making it a world-famous barbarian land. Since ancient times, the territory has been divided into east and west. People in the east are good at voodoo, and they regard the Meng family, the most powerful voodoo masters, as the voodoo kings. However, Westerners worshiped witchcraft and submitted to the Witch King Shi. For thousands of years, the two factions have been fighting constantly, with each other winning and losing. The feud is difficult and the water and fire are incompatible.
One year, in a region of Eastern Xinjiang, deep in the dense forest, mist filled the air, and the night was getting dark. There is a blood moon in the sky, moving through the dark clouds, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, which is quite strange.
There were two young women running desperately in the forest. His hair was disheveled, his clothes and skin were torn by thorns, and he was in an extremely miserable state.
While walking through the swamp, one person fell to the ground, and the other girl quickly turned back and pulled him up. "Ah Jian, run away quickly, or you will die!"
The two of them got into the bushes, where there was a cave, and they rested together, shivering and feeling uneasy.
The wind was silent outside and there was only the chirping of insects. Ah Geng calmed down and asked, "Who am I? Where am I? Why should we run away?"
Another girl hit her on the head, "Did you fall and make you stupid? You don't even recognize me anymore, right?"
Ah Geng's eyes were dull and he shook his head in confusion.
The girl came closer and used the moonlight to examine her eyes. "It's strange, you weren't poisoned. How could you lose your memory? You must have hurt your head when you fell."
"Sister, who are you?" A Geng asked.
The girl shook her head and sighed, "My silly girl, I am your sister Yujie! My father is a famous doctor in the town, so he named us after Platycodon. How come you have forgotten me?"
Yu Gang was a little confused, "My head is swollen and I can't think of anything? How did we get here?"
Yu Jue burst into tears, "The bullies in the town coveted my family's property and falsely accused my father of using witchcraft to treat people's illnesses. The Poison King Meng Xiang was furious and put my father in prison. The family was in ruins, and you and my sisters were classified as slaves."
"This place is called the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects. It is full of poisonous insects and mist. Every spring, the Gu King gathers the guilty girls and throws them into this valley, letting them kill each other and the fittest survive. Those who are lucky enough to survive will be exempted from the crime and can still survive. Get the guidance of a famous teacher to learn Gu skills and reach the sky in one step. But few people can survive the 10-day catastrophe. This is a veritable Valley of Soul Burial."
"This is so cruel!" Ah Geng said, and suddenly there was a scream, and a dark poisonous scorpion walked slowly along her jade legs.
"Don't move!" Yuju shouted. Ah Geng jumped up in panic, and the poisonous scorpion was thrown far away, leaving a dark mark on her jade leg.
Yujue flew over and leaned over to absorb the venom from her. With tears in her eyes, Ah Geng said in a low voice: "Although I don't remember anything, but you are so kind to me, you are my biological sister."
The two hugged each other and cried. Yujue wiped away her tears and said softly: "We sisters are united in escaping from the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, trying to find a way to rescue Dad and reunite the family."
When speaking, Ageng's eyes were dull and his tongue was hard. Yujue said: "The remaining scorpion venom just now is about to act. You may be deaf and aphasic these days. You should concentrate on listening to sister and keep it in your heart."
"According to the King of Gu's judgment, you are the most talented in learning Gu. You are the 'Number One' and your clothes are different from others, so you will be the target of public criticism." Yu Jue took out a shiny dagger and handed it to her. Geng shook his head in pain.
Yuju said sternly: "If you don't kill people, they will kill you. This is a life-and-death game, and there is no room for mercy!"
A Geng was babbling unspeakably, Yu Jue said: "It seems that the poison has taken effect faster than expected, but you don't have to worry, you will be back to normal in a few days." She stroked A Geng's hair, "Follow me, step by step If we don’t leave, my sister will risk her life to keep you safe. You have to read my lips and understand what I mean, and you have to be ruthless, look at my eyes, and kill all those who want to harm us!"
Agen was helpless, holding a dagger in his hand, and was in a dilemma.
That night, the two huddled in the cave, shivering, and couldn't sleep all night.
After dawn, Ah Geng's world fell into silence. His tongue was stiff and he could no longer speak. He was obviously completely deaf and speechless. Yujue stroked her hair to comfort her, and then went out to pick wild fruits to satisfy her hunger.
Suddenly, Yujue's operation stopped, and a small blue insect flew from outside the cave, circling and lingering, and finally stopped on Agen's clothes. Yujue's hand was like lightning, twisting the insect into powder.
"It was discovered, someone planted a poison!" she wrote softly on the ground.
Ah Geng's vest felt cold and he immediately became nervous. The two of them moved to the entrance of the cave, parted the branches and leaves and quietly looked out. Two girls were walking and shouting in the forest, and they were approaching.
"You want to trick us out, don't fall for it!"
The two of them stood still, watching the girl disappear into the dense forest. Yuju took a long breath and wrote again: "It's easy to be discovered here, so go deeper into the forest."
The sisters carefully exited the cave and walked hand in hand. The air is humid, the roads are muddy, and thorns and vines often block the roads, making it difficult to move forward.
It was easy to find a wide area with sparse trees and gurgling streams. Agen was exhausted and fell to the ground. Just as Yujue was about to step forward to help him, two girls suddenly came out from the side, struggled with him, and fell to the ground.
Yujue was alone and was quickly subdued. One person strangled her neck and his eyes protruded. He glanced at Ageng again and again from the corner of his eye, begging her for help.
Ah Geng was frightened and instinctively clenched the dagger. She was trembling all over and at a loss. Yuju pushed someone away and howled at her. Ah Geng couldn't hear it, but her desperate eyes were like a sharp sword piercing her chest.
She gained incomparable courage and strength, ejected, and stabbed one person's vest with the dagger. The girl fell softly, and the other one was shocked. Yujue took the opportunity to turn over and suppress her, then grabbed the bloody dagger and stabbed it suddenly. into his chest.
The two girls fell in a pool of blood. Yujue hugged her petrified sister, tears streaming down her face, and hugged each other for a long time.
They walked up the stream and looked for a large cave to take shelter when it was getting dark. Along the way, Yu Jian talked to her, and they gradually got used to reading each other's lips, and the communication became smoother.
The moonlight was bright and everything was quiet. A Geng suddenly had an idea, "Sister, I want to take a bath. I'm so dirty!"
Yuju carefully checked his surroundings and then nodded gently. The two took off their clothes and slipped into the cold stream. Ageng was frightened and trembling in her heart. Jade Orange gently stroked her back, as smooth as jade fat. Ageng leaned in her arms and sobbed softly.
Yuju whispered in her ear, but she couldn't hear it. She only felt the hot breath spreading out, making her extremely warm and at ease.
The two helped each other back to the cave. Ageng was still trembling. Yujue took pity on him and found dry wood to light a fire. After a while, Ageng was warm and calmed down. She saw a small, exquisite wooden box on Yujie's waist. She was curious and pointed with her hand.
The jade orange opened slightly, and several colorful insects flew out and hovered for a moment. She pulled it with her fingertips, and the insects flew back into the box.
"This is voodoo, we all know how to voodoo."
Ajie also discovered that the Gu cage on her waist was made of gold and silver threads and inlaid with precious stones. It was extremely high-end. She wanted to open it, but Yu Jue waved her hand to stop her, "Sister, you have lost your memory and your ability to control the voodoo has declined. Don't do it as a last resort." To perform.”
The two hugged each other by the fire, read each other's lips and talked, and before they knew it, they fell asleep together.
At dawn, A Geng was pushed awake. Yu Jue looked solemnly and pointed outside the cave. There were four girls in brocade clothes holding weapons and shouting as they came this way.
"We set off fireworks last night, which attracted pursuers."
Ah Geng panicked, "Let's run away! The further away the better!"
Yujue shook his head and pointed with his hand. The four people advanced in a fan shape and had blocked the escape route. She shook Ah Geng's shoulders and looked directly into her eyes, "I'll set a trap, you lure them here and kill them with your poison!"
Ajie shook his head repeatedly, Yujue's fingertips dug into her shoulders, his eyes were like sharp knives, "Are you satisfied if they kill us?"
Ah Geng was extremely confused and finally nodded helplessly. Yujue opened the voodoo cage, and the voodoo insects flew out and disappeared into the surrounding trees. She winked at Ageng, and then hid behind the tree.
Ah Geng came out and stretched out his sleeves like flowing clouds. Those people obviously saw her, and with a shout, they all rushed this way. She turned around and walked slowly, passing through the trap and stopping, giving the enemy an elegant back view.
Several people followed quickly, and when they reached the center of the trap, the Jade Stem drove the Gu worm, and one of them was hit. He stabbed randomly with his scimitar like crazy, killing one of his companions. The other two people retreated quickly, raised their palms, white powder flew into the air, and the Gu insects were forced out and fell into the dust.
They found the jade stalk behind the tree and quickly surrounded it. First, there was a verbal exchange. Ah Geng was distracted and read a few lip-texts intermittently:
"How dare you show such low-level voodoo skills and trivial skills to the public?"
"You bully the minority with the advantage of many, and you are not moral!"
"What nonsense are you talking to her about? She likes to use voodoo, so we will use voodoo to deal with her!"
The three of them activated the Gu worms at the same time. Yujue danced around and hurriedly parried, but was soon struck by the attack and collapsed to the ground. The others approached step by step.
Ah Geng was so anxious that she hurriedly untied the Gu cage from her waist and released them all. She let out a slight whistle from her lips and all the Gu flew around. Three people were hit at the same time. One person fell to the ground and twitched to death. The remaining two people walked forward with dull eyes. , fell straight into the water.
She picked up Yujie and fled in a hurry, reaching the depths of the dense forest. The two of them panicked and got into a huge tree hole.
Yujue's breath was weak, "I've been hit by the 'blood-eating Gu', which swallowed the blood and energy. My whole body is weak. You can run for your life!"
Ajiang shook his head with tears in his eyes, "I will not abandon my sister. Tell me how to save you?"
Yujue raised her palm, and there was a blood-red line, "I forced the poison into the palm of my hand, but I couldn't force it out because of my lack of skill. Unless you share half of it for me, I can use my skill to completely eliminate it."
Without any hesitation, Ah Geng cut each other's palms with a dagger, and then the wounds touched each other. A hot fluid flowed down the arm, and then the blood surged and converged on the arm, and the energy in his body suddenly disappeared.
All night long, A Geng was asleep, while Yu Jue was doing her exercises on the side. The moonlight shone miserably into the tree hole. She had a nightmare, in which she was hunted down. Yu Jue was covered in blood and fell off the cliff...
Ah Geng suddenly woke up, it was already daylight, and the light in the tree hole was soft. She thought about it, but she couldn't move. At this time, a face came close to her, and she was so shocked that she almost screamed. The face was exactly the same as hers. Myself in the mirror...
