Xia Tian is really not interested in this kind of thing. He doesn't even have any idea about the Emperor of Heaven in the Little Immortal Realm, so how can he be the head of the Hu family.
"Since Divine Doctor Xia has no objection, then let's settle the matter first."
Mrs. Hu didn't want to delay it any longer. Anyway, she had to decide on a family head tonight. "Let Hu Muyu from Beitang be the head of the family for this term."
Hu Muyu was overjoyed, and the people in Beitang were also excited. After so many years of frustration, they finally had a chance to succeed.
"Thank you, grandma, for caring about me."
Hu Muyu immediately expressed her determination, "Please rest assured that the Hu family will definitely achieve greater glory under my leadership. The Gu family will no longer be limited to southern Xinjiang, but will move towards the whole country and even become the top family in the world."
.”
Old Mrs. Hu had obviously heard enough of this kind of useless talk. She just waved her hand calmly and said: "As soon as the matter comes up, I will let Hua Yu take over the matter with you. You can go down now."
Hu Muyu looked up at Hu Huayu with an arrogant look, and said softly: "Didn't you say that the head of the family is Xia Tian?
What’s the matter, it’s a slap in the face, I’m the one who wins!”
"Whether you can hold on depends on tomorrow."
Hu Huayu chuckled lightly and did not accept the move. Instead, he said politely: "Cousin, no, head of the family, please come with me. I will handle the handover now."
"I guess you are sensible."
Hu Muyu nodded, then glanced at Xia Tian, and whispered: "I am the head of the Hu family. You, a foreigner, don't even think about it, don't think about it now, and don't think about it in the future."
Xia Tian didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and didn't even raise his eyelids.
Mrs. Hu sent everyone else away again, leaving only Xia Tian and Yi Xiaoyin.
"I'm asking you two. Actually, I have something I want to entrust to you. By the way, I'd like to ask Divine Doctor Xia and Miss Yi to do me a small favor."
Mrs. Hu hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to get straight to the point: "This thing is related to the rise and fall of the Gu clan, but now no one in the Gu clan can use it.
Leaving it in our hands is ultimately a waste, it is better to find someone who is destined to be with you, which is also the last thing I do to the Gu clan."
"I don't know what you are talking about?"
Yi Xiaoyin asked: "What help do you need from us?"
Old Mrs. Hu suddenly glanced at Wan Guiren, who then took out a palm-sized package from the bottom of his sleeve and handed it to Yi Xiaoyin and Xia Tian: "Where is the thing? This is it."
"Um?"
Yi Xiaoyin took the thing, slowly opened the package, and found a black and gold box inside. The patterns on it were extremely simple and complicated, and it didn't look like something from the earth at first glance: "This is..." "This thing
It’s the Secret Box of Source Gu, and it’s real.”
Old Mrs. Hu nodded and said with a serious face: "The rumors outside that it was stolen and then bought back are false.
The fake one is currently in the hands of Yue Fangyuan's Gu Goddess Granny, and the Saint Ancestor Gu Insect is also in that box."
Yi Xiaoyin looked surprised: "What's going on?"
"Did you fall out with my second master's mother-in-law?"
Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Your second master...oh, you can indeed be called that."
Old Mrs. Hu was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that the second master's wife Xia Tian mentioned was the Gu God Granny, she couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not a quarrel, it's just the Gu Clan and the Gu God Sect led by the Gu God Granny.
It's never the same thing.
Strictly speaking, Granny Gu God is not a human being, but a kind of Gu spirit, so her lifespan can be several hundred years, but she is not immortal, but the shortest life span is two to three hundred years.
The Gu tribe is human, but they were summoned by the Gu ancestor holy insect thousands of years ago and made a deal with it, using their bodies to support the insect, while also gaining the ability of the Gu insect."
Yi Xiaoyin was a little surprised when she heard these words, so she said: "What is the relationship between your Gu clan, this Gu spirit, and the Gu insects?"
"A relationship of mutual dependence and mutual wariness."
Mrs. Hu slowly explained: "It is said that Gu insects are creatures that only exist in the fairy world. They naturally have certain magical powers. However, after they came to the human world with the fairies, they could not adapt to the climate of the human world, so they must be attached to the human body in order to survive.
However, the Gu Ancestor Holy Insect was afraid that its descendants would be assimilated by humans, so it spawned Gu Spirits to restrain humans.
But if the Gu Spirit is too strong and kills all humans, the Gu Insects will not be able to survive, so the Gu Ancestor Holy Insect adds another restriction to the Gu Spirit, that is, her spiritual power can only come from the Gu Insects rooted in the human body.
.
If she wants to become stronger, she must ensure that there are enough humans for her to cultivate Gu insects.
But if too many poisonous insects are cultivated, the living space for us humans will become smaller."
Yi Xiaoyin couldn't help but be stunned, but she also roughly understood why the Gu clan was obviously very powerful in the legend, but it had always been content in a corner of southern Xinjiang.
"In order to restrict this relationship, the three parties worked together to create this secret box of source Gu."
Mrs. Hu took a sip of tea, and then told Xia Tian and Yi Xiaoyin the secrets of the Gu clan: "The secret box is a production method provided by the Gu spirit, built by human craftsmen, and finally used to place the Gu ancestor holy insect to sleep.
The intersection and transfer of power among the three parties must pass through this box."
Xia Tian yawned lazily: "I've been talking for a long time, but there's still no point. What do you want to say, old lady?"
"We're about to get to the point. Please stay calm, Divine Doctor Xia."
Old Mrs. Hu showed an embarrassed look, and then said to Xia Tian: "This matter is too important. If I don't make it clear, when I make a request later, you will think that I want to harm you."
"You continue."
Yi Xiaoyin smiled and said, "He just has such a temper, so don't worry about it."
Xia Tian curled his lips: "Wife Yiyi, actually we can do something meaningful, there is no need to listen to such long and boring stories.
If you want to listen to stories, I actually know many more interesting ones, and I can definitely tell them better than this old lady."
"Don't interrupt yet."
Yi Xiaoyin turned to look at Xia Tian and said softly: "What story you want to tell, I'll tell it later. Now please let the old lady finish, okay?"
"All right.
Wife Yiyi, you have the final say."
Xia Tian was not used to seeing Yi Xiaoyin being so gentle and polite: "However, after listening to it, you must listen to my story at night."
How could Yi Xiaoyin not be aware of Xia Tian's little thoughts? She just didn't want to expose them, and she didn't want to expose them in front of outsiders. Seeing that he stopped interrupting, she asked Mrs. Hu: "Go on, I want to hear what happens next."
matter."
"After that, it actually calmed down for a long time."
Old Mrs. Hu is so sophisticated, how could she not hear the code words between Xia Tian and Yi Xiaoyin, but she did not talk too much about this kind of thing, and continued to tell the story just now: "The three parties are in peace, and everyone is very satisfied.
However, later on, the spiritual energy on earth became thinner and thinner, and it became extremely difficult for the Gu insects to reproduce. Naturally, the spiritual power of the Gu Goddess Granny also weakened greatly, and it also changed for more than ten generations.
On the other hand, human beings are becoming more and more prosperous, and there are even methods that can be practiced without the need for poisonous insects."
Yi Xiaoyin said softly: "Once the balance is broken, something will definitely happen."
"right."
Mrs. Hu nodded and agreed with Yi Xiaoyin's statement: "According to the records passed down by the Gu clan, the three parties did have several internal conflicts. The most famous one was the Gu Ancestor Holy Insect Box Moving Incident."
"Because the Gu clan is getting stronger and stronger, I felt that the previous Gu box was too small and was built according to the Gu spirit's plan, which was not conducive for the Gu clan to use the power of the Gu ancestor holy insect, so I wanted to build a larger and more suitable one.
The Gu clan takes the used box and then transfers the Gu ancestor holy insect to the new box."
Yi Xiaoyin has always been very interested in such ancient stories, because they may contain secrets that have not been recorded in human history, and there may even be records about other worlds.
For example, the ancient medical books she had collected before and those given to her by Ye Yumei all had many traces of otherworldliness.
"This idea was naturally rejected by the Gu Spirit. During this period, the Gu Ancestor Holy Insect has entered a dormant period due to the weakening of its spiritual energy. We don't know when it will wake up."
Mrs. Hu sighed leisurely, "That battle greatly damaged the Gu clan's vitality, and the spiritual power of the Gu Goddess Granny was also greatly weakened.
The biggest problem is that the Gu Ancestor Holy Insect is missing.
Records in this regard are missing, and no one knows whether the Gu Ancestor Holy Insect flew away or was accidentally killed in the process... In short, it disappeared."
"Um?"
Yi Xiaoyin was stunned for a moment: "Then where did your Gu Ancestor Holy Insect come from?"
"The Gu spirit and the ancestors of the Gu clan were cultivated together."
Mrs. Hu said with regret: "Unfortunately, this kind of cultivated Gu ancestor can only last for a hundred years at most before dying, and its power is only one ten thousandth of that of the Gu ancestor saint insect.
This is also the reason why the Gu clan and the Gu Goddess Granny have never dared to go out to Southern Xinjiang.
I’m not afraid that the Gu tribe will use poison to hurt people outside, but actually I’m afraid that the Gu tribe will cause trouble and lead outsiders to expose the truth about the Gu tribe’s external force.”
"All right."
After Yi Xiaoyin finished listening, she didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to ask: "What do you want us to help with, old lady?"
Mrs. Hu coughed twice, and then said after a while: "About a hundred and twenty years ago, a monk came from Tianzhu. He said that the Gu ancestor holy insect was in his body, and he hoped that the Gu clan could take out the insect.
.”
"Is this why you started holding some kind of medical conference?"
Yi Xiaoyin's heart froze and she immediately figured out something.
"good."
Old Mrs. Hu nodded: "After confirmation by the old man of the Gu clan and the mother-in-law of the Gu God, although the Gu worms in the monk's body are not the Saint Ancestor Gu worms, they are the first generation of Gu Ancestors, and they are 100% of the Saint Gu Insects.
one of the energy.
So the monk stayed in Yuefangyuan.
The Gu clan is responsible for inviting famous doctors in the world to try to remove this Gu ancestral insect from the monk's body, but they have never been successful."
Mrs. Hu said with horror: "The problem now is that the monk is about to expire.
If he can't get it out before he dies, then the Gu clan's disaster will really come.
Both of them are the most skilled doctors in the world today, so please save the Gu tribe."
