This year's winter was extremely cold for Jin Miao.

The Bai Miao rebelled from Miao territory, which dealt a huge blow to the prestige of the Jin Miao royal family.

The old Jin Miao King, who was over sixty years old, died in the last few days of the year. Although Jin Long immediately inherited the throne without any dispute and there was no turmoil, the Bai Miao tribes lacked the old king's

Suppressed, some have begun to become more restless.

Of course, the most important thing is that the old Gu King, who has guarded the Jin Miao tribe for nearly seventy years, finally failed to survive this winter. Currently, there is no Gu King in charge of Jinshan City.

By the time the body of the Spider Gu King was discovered, it had been eaten by insects and ants, leaving only an empty shell.

Although for a spider with a lifespan of less than five years, it has lived a very adequate life, the Jinmiao people still cannot accept this.

They were used to having the Gu King to suppress other Miao people, but the repeated failures in refining Gu over the past few decades have made them place all their hopes on the old Gu King to survive for a few more years until the extremely talented Prince Jin Xiu can refine it.

There is a new Gu King, but the old Gu King died first after all.

Even the Jin Miao people tried to block the news. Unfortunately, the in-laws of various ethnic groups in Bai Miao were mixed, and the news was already known to everyone in the Miao territory. At this moment, the status of the royal family was in jeopardy.

The person in the most embarrassing situation at this time is undoubtedly Jin Xiu. As Jin Miao's number one poison tamer, what he should do most at this time is to refine Jin Miao's own Gu King instead of helping Hua Miao people refine Gu.

But Jin Xiu himself knows that except for Jidabu, he has no confidence at all. He has experienced many failures, and he also knows that good poison embryos are the most important for refining Gu.

For this reason, Jin Long, who had just ascended the throne, also had the idea of ​​​​Jidab. Of course, it was just a trial at the moment.

Naturally, he would not dare to take advantage of others. After the betrayal of Bai Miao, the royal family cannot afford any more problems from Hua Miao. Currently, there is no Gu King in charge, and if he is still unreasonable, he may have to give up the throne without taking Rehu.

Out.

Hua Miao people naturally understand that they are not afraid of thieves, but they are worried about them. It is extremely inappropriate to continue to refine Gu in Jinshan City under such circumstances.

In early February, King Tieshu personally led his people out of Jinshan City, taking Phoenix, Ji Dabu, who had not yet awakened from hibernation, and several large carts of Gu refining materials, back to Tieshu Village as if he was running away. Of course, Gu still needs to be refined.

But practicing on your own territory is undoubtedly the most peaceful thing.

Prince Jinxiu was helpless in this regard. He originally wanted to accumulate experience through Jidabu's Gu refining so that he could succeed in refining Gu next time, but Hua Miao lost his trust in Jin Miao and there was nothing he could do.

Before parting, he also handed over many records of his Gu refining experience to the little princess, and asked the little princess to record the detailed Gu refining process of Jidabu and give it to him. Phoenix had a very good impression of Jin Xiu, of course.

I agreed without hesitation.

There was silence all the way, and by the time everyone rushed back to Tieshu Village, it was already mid-March. Time was not waiting for us, and everyone had rested for less than five days when King Tieshu gave the order to "refining Gu".

Gu refining in Miao territory has a long history. It is Jin Miao who masters the cutting-edge technology. The other ethnic groups also have their own folk methods. Of course, they are mainly based on the experience of failure.

Of course, the time for refining Gu cannot be the seven, seven, forty-nine days, or the ninety-nine and eighty-one days recorded in later generations. This kind of number full of Taoist cultural color can be accurate to the hour. It is obviously based on the mythology of the Han people.

Taishang Laojun made it up when he was refining elixirs.

For more than three months, there is no cap. This is the record within the Jinmiao royal family.

When will it be considered complete? "A hundred poisons will welcome you, and a hundred beasts will make things easy."

When does it count as a failure? Who asked, are you stupid? Of course it will be considered a failure when you have been trained to death.

Among the various tribes of Bai Miao, there are still some who have been practicing the poison for a year or two, but they are not dead yet. I dare not tell you how many there are, but there are still about ten or so. Among the Jin Miao tribe, there is a big blowing snake that has been refined for a year and a half.

, dying all day long, continuing to practice and consuming resources, with little hope, giving up, and reluctant to let go. The bitterness in it is no less than that of Chinese stock investors who were trapped in later generations.

Comparatively speaking, Hua Miao, who has a lot of experience with golden seedlings at this time, has inherited many lessons from failures, and has a piece of refining Gu Jing with unknown effects, is extremely advantageous in technology at this time, and Hua Miao people also have strong feelings for it.

There are great expectations.

Refining Gu is a big deal. But what is Gu?

Looking at it now, it is a strategic weapon. The legendary command to poison alone is no less powerful than a modern nuclear bomb.

Refining Gu was equivalent to making nuclear weapons in Miao territory at that time, so it was of course a big deal.

For such a large project, the first priority is of course to form a team.

The Chinese, of course, cannot fight alone.

The leader of the Gu refining team must undoubtedly be King Iron Tree and King of Flower Seedlings, and is naturally the well-deserved core figure.

Of course, the first-in-command doesn't care about the actual work. Such a big leader, how busy he is, can't take care of specific matters. The actual work needs to be done by the second-in-command. This second-in-command is, of course, the master of the future Gu King, Princess Phoenix.

The second-in-command is only fifteen years old and a young girl who has no experience in the world. A discerning eye will see that she is just a puppet. The person in charge must be the third-in-command.

Who is the third in command? Elder Ba is the one.

During the Gu refining period, Elder Ba was in control of the transportation and security of all materials, and had full control over personnel and finance.

A discerning person takes another look and finds that although these third-in-commands are senior, they seem to be incapable of doing business. Even poison-taming is at a third-rate level, so how can they refine the poison?

The original chief engineer Jin Xiu was fired, but this is Miao territory, and there is definitely no shortage of technical talents. After many rounds of selection, it was finally determined that the fourth person in charge of technology, a middle-aged man named Gui Fang, was not

An outsider, the second son of Guiyun, was the one who directed the big wind snake at the Hua Miao poison fight back then.

The above four people form a core leadership team with Chinese characteristics, and it is obvious that it can achieve success.

According to Jin Miao's records, the process of refining Gu is divided into nine steps: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, life and death.

What? Why does it look a bit like the Five Elements Bagua? The Miao people are also descendants of Nuwa. Nuwa and her brother Fuxi invented the Five Elements Bagua. Is it normal for the Miao people to understand a little bit about it?

What? Why are these Five Elements and Bagua so specious? I guess the Miao people didn’t learn it all... I have to ask the ancestors of the Miao people. Where can I find out?

In fact, Yun Xiang has been exposed to it recently and has learned a lot about refining Gu. In his opinion, these steps can be summed up in two words: "torture".

Gu can be summed up in two words: evolution. Refining voodoo can be summed up as: "Forcing you to evolve through torture."

The most obvious basis is that the above nine steps are not step-by-step, but are cyclical or even interspersed. Unless you evolve, you will die.

For example, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are fed with poisons of different properties. These poisons are both compatible and incompatible, and ultimately force your body's metabolism system to evolve.

Yin and Yang, extreme heat and cold, force your body's muscles and bones to evolve.

Life and death means killing you half dead and then bringing you back to life. Repeatedly, this is undoubtedly forcing your consciousness to evolve.

The widely circulated method of refining gu in the previous life was to put hundreds of insects in to bite each other, which was an important step in the life and death process. However, the rumors in later generations were wrong. Instead of biting each other, they all bit you, because your body

You taste best when you put some spices on it.

But just relying on this step to refine Gu is quite nonsense. Do you think so many people in Miao Territory have lived in vain all these years?

To be honest, the little princess and the others did not avoid Yunxiang when they were discussing how to refine the Gu, and Yunxiang had already been frightened. This trip to refine the Gu was like walking through the eighteenth level of hell.

He also thought about escaping, but then he thought about it and realized that the big man's ruthlessness was also forced out. Instead of being an ordinary toad and waiting to die, he would rather fight. He has many dreams and wants to see them.

In the big world, I want to become a monster, a demon, a fairy, and I want to go back to the future.

But if all of this is to be realized, refining Gu is undoubtedly a shortcut. What he needs is constant evolution.
