After another two days of trekking, Song Ning and his party finally saw the entire picture of Gu Village.

In fact, the location of Guzhai is not that remote. Starting from the nearest county town, you only need to walk along the mountain road for more than 80 kilometers to reach Guzhai.

However, although Song Ning and his companions started from the ancient tomb, it was not easy for them to get there.

The village is kept very clean. It is said that the place where Gu are raised must be clean. If it is dirty, it is feared that Gu cannot be raised.

The village is full of small bamboo houses with southern characteristics, surrounded by green bamboos and filled with green water. Song Ning fell in love with it as soon as he entered.

Qiao Bo also relaxed his brows.

This kind of place is so friendly to someone like him with obsessive-compulsive disorder!

"Ayan is back..."

All the villagers they met along the way greeted Qi Yan and his friends enthusiastically.

"Are they the friends that A-Yan made this time? Your grandma will be very happy if she knows..."

"Ayan, your aunt made some flower cakes. I'll ask my boy to bring some to you later..."

"My family has just brewed some bamboo wine. I'll bring you a few jars later so that your friends can taste it..."

"Ayan..."

Before Qi Yan even entered the house, he had already found a table full of food and wine.

Song Ning slurped her saliva. They said these things sounded delicious...

Maybe accepting Qi Yan's loyalty wouldn't be so bad...

“The people here are quite welcoming…”

He Yi was in high spirits and kept turning his head along the way. Whenever someone greeted Qi Yan and the others, he would smile at them with his big teeth.

Along the way, he was loved by many villagers.

"We are the most down-to-earth villagers. Although we raise Gu, it is just a craft passed down by our ancestors."

"The poison in our hands has never been abused on anyone..."

When talking about his clansmen, Qi Yan talked a lot more.

"arrive…"

Qi Yan stopped and said to Zhai Fang and Zhai Dong: "First, notify the village chief to gather the tribesmen..."

After the two of them left, he invited Song Ning and the others into his bamboo house.

Qi Yan's bamboo building is the most imposing one in the entire village.

It is located close to mountains and rivers, surrounded by flowers and green plants. Not only does it have excellent feng shui, but the environment is also particularly beautiful.

Only Qi Yan's grandmother and a mute aunt lived in the bamboo house. The mute aunt was extremely happy about Qi Yan's return.

She kept saying "ah ah..." along the way, and even asked Qi Yan what food he wanted to prepare.

"I'm glad to see you, too."

Qi Yan looked at the dumb aunt with a gentle expression, "You are good at making pastries, can you prepare a few of your specialty pastries for my friend?"

“Ahh…”

The mute aunt nodded happily.

What could be more exciting than children's needs!

After the mute aunt left, Qi Yan brought Song Ning and others out from the back door of the bamboo building, passed a large sea of ​​flowers, and finally stopped in front of a small bamboo house.

Qi Yan motioned to Song Ning and the others to wait for a moment, straightened his clothes, and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in!"

An extremely old voice came from the bamboo house.

"Your Excellency has come from afar. Please forgive me for not being able to meet you due to my poor health."

Qi Yan's face changed, and he pushed the door open with both hands, "Grandma..."

"Ahem... I'm fine..."

Lying on the bamboo bed on the left side of the room was an old woman with gray hair and an old voice, but her skin was unusually smooth.

Song Ning was slightly surprised for a moment, but quickly concealed the emotion in her eyes.

"I roughly understand what Qi Yan did... Thank you for your help... Ahem..."

The old woman seemed extremely weak. It took her three times as long as an ordinary person to say a few simple words and then pause.

"Grandma...how could this happen..."

Qi Yan's hands were shaking as he supported the old woman. Before he left, grandma was a healthy old lady. How could she be so weak now?

"You have tampered with destiny!"

Song Ning looked directly at the old woman, "Is it because of Qi Yan?"

The old woman smiled at Song Ning with difficulty, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you... ahem..."

"My life span has come to an end... I don't have many days left... Ah Yan is different... He is still young... He should have a great life..."

"It's worth using my life to exchange for a chance for Yan Ayan to survive!"

"grandmother…"

Qi Yan's eyes were filled with tears, and his lips were shaking, "Why are you so stupid..."

"Ayan, don't be sad..."

The old woman held Qi Yan's right hand tightly with her shaking hands, "After this incident in the village is settled, you can leave with me!"

"See what I have to say... Stop thinking about transcendence... Ahem..."

"What's the point of being detached...it's time to get married...it's time to have children...your destiny is different!"

"I know... I know everything..."

Qi Yan burst into tears.

"My dear..."

The old woman nodded with satisfaction, then turned with difficulty to look at Song Ning.

"Peach Blossom Gu... Antidote..."

The old woman took a few deep breaths and said, "I was lucky enough to have been matched before... and I kept it in A Yan's gourd..."

"Since you need it... just take it!"

"The village... I'll leave it to you..."

"good…"

Song Ning nodded silently. The old man in front of him was already at the end of his life and there was nothing he could do to save him.

"That's good…"

The old lady looked at Qi Yan with a loving face, "From now on, grandma won't be able to accompany you..."

"You have to be good!"

"I can!"

Qi Yan's tears kept falling, and the old woman closed her eyes with relief.

"Don't cry, A Yan..."

The old woman's hands fell down limply, and Qi Yan fell to his knees with a thud.

"grandmother…"

"Let's go out first!"

Qiao Bo pulled Song Ning out of the bamboo house, and He Yi closed the door considerately.

"Um...what does it mean to tamper with destiny?"

He Yi scratched his head, feeling anxious in his heart.

"Qi Yan's grandmother helped Qi Yan block some of the bad luck, and he will be like a normal person from now on." Song Ning looked at the mountains in the distance and swallowed the last words silently.

The price of tampering with destiny is huge, and the person who performs the spell will fall into the animal realm for generations...

Therefore, Qi Yan’s grandmother would never say that she would still be Qi Yan’s relative in the next life.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will never see each other again in this life...

“So amazing…”

He Yi glanced at the bamboo house with envy, "Isn't this kind of magic extremely powerful?"

"Since it can eliminate bad luck, it must be able to increase good luck. In this way, won't I be invincible?!"

Song Ning glanced at him and said, "You'd better not let your father hear this, otherwise you'll just have to pray for the best!"

"The only way to increase your good fortune is to accumulate more good karma and do more good deeds. There is no shortcut because no one can afford the price."

"That's what I said..."

He Yi stopped talking awkwardly, "What are we doing now?"

"Of course it's time to eat!"

Song Ning glanced at him, then pulled Qiao Bo away.

"After such a long journey, it would be a shame not to have a good meal!"

"But…"

He Yi caught up with them, "Someone's relative just died... Isn't this bad?!"

“You can go hungry…”

Qiao Bo gave He Yi a cold look. He was so noisy, why didn't he just shut up?

"I don't!"

He Yi refused stubbornly, "You are not afraid, why should I be afraid..."
