Upon hearing Miao Xiaoxian's words, I was instantly energized, my eyes widening in surprise: "What do you mean? You're certain Wei Shengnan is under a spell, right?"

"She's definitely been poisoned by a Gu! Look at her eyes, the pupils are unfocused, but there are no red blood vessels around them. Instead, there are many scattered small black dots, which are symptoms of Gu poisoning!"

Miao Xiaoxian nodded: "There are at least three kinds of Gu in her body. One is the Gu that makes her lose her mind, another is the wooden puppet Gu on the surface! There is another one that I can't see, but I guess it should be the Gu that enhances her physical fitness! Otherwise, if an ordinary person were infected with the first two kinds of Gu, they probably wouldn't be alive now."

As the saying goes, what is difficult for those who don't know is easy for those who do.

When Wei Xiao saw that Miao Xiaoxian had immediately grasped Wei Shengnan's condition, he grasped at it like a lifeline: "Young lady, can you cure her illness?"

Miao Xiaoxian nodded: "It can be cured."

As soon as I said that, not only was I overjoyed, but even Grandpa Wei snapped out of his reverie and turned his gaze to Miao Xiaoxian.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Miao Xiaoxian quickly added, "I can cure her, but only one type of her condition. I can restore her sanity, but the wooden puppet gu in her body is still deadly."

Having weathered many storms, Old Master Wei quickly composed himself upon hearing Miao Xiaoxian's reply: "Little girl, since you know what illness my granddaughter has, you must know its origin! It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cure the poison, you can tell me who can! As long as you have a name, I will search high and low, to the ends of the earth, to find him!"

"I'm afraid no one can cure this disease."

Miao Xiaoxian shook her head: "This kind of Gu was made by the ancestors of the village tribe. It is only passed down in our tribe, but it was lost hundreds of years ago because of the extinction of the Gu insects used as raw materials! Only the name remains."

Without hesitation, Old Master Wei asked, "Where can I find relevant records? Even just finding some information would be helpful!"

"As far as I know, the Wooden Man Gu is only passed down orally and I haven't heard of it being recorded in any documents! In addition, Ping'an Village has now disbanded and everyone has gone their separate ways, so even if there were any documents, they wouldn't be available."

Miao Xiaoxian grew up in the deep mountains and spoke without beating around the bush: "Although I don't know how to interpret it or how to save her, I know a way that you might be able to try."

Old Master Wei stood up and, amidst Wei Shengnan's shouts, said with a solemn expression, "If this method can truly save Nannan's life, you will be a great benefactor to our Wei family! Our Wei clan will certainly repay you with all our might!"

Miao Xiaoxian felt a little flustered under Grandpa Wei's gaze: "Grandpa, don't be in such a hurry to thank me. This matter is very difficult, and it's just a legend."

Knowing that Wei Shengnan didn't have much time, Wei Xiao said seriously, "Girl, just tell us what you want to say. Whether it can be done or not, we'll decide for ourselves!"

"The origin of Gu poisons lies in nature, and all recipes originate from heaven and earth, with no change in their essence. Legend has it that there are three divine stones in the world, which are the source of the earth and the root of all spirits! No matter how vicious the Gu poison or witchcraft is, it has no effect on these three divine stones."

Miao Xiaoxian paused for a moment: "These three divine stones are the Water Stone, the Fire Stone, and the Forest Stone. Legend has it that the Fire Stone is the one in the Temple of the Fierce God. If you can find the other two, there might be hope to save people."

The Temple of the Fierce God is the name the Miao people use for the celestial palace in Miao territory. Wei Xiao is not an insider and does not know about our operation: "Where is this Temple of the Fierce God? I will send someone to retrieve that stone immediately."

“Uncle Wei, the Hall of the Ferocious God is the Immortal Palace of Miao Jiang, and that firestone is the meteorite that Duan Jinyan took away.”

I shook my head and said, "Under the current circumstances, I think it's impossible to find Duan Jinyan!"

"To find two stones based solely on a mythical legend—isn't that a complete fantasy?"

Wei Xiao looked at Miao Xiaoxian with a worried expression: "Little girl, do you know the location of the other two stones?"

"I don't know. This story was told to me by the elders in the village when I was a child. When I grew up, I knew that the story was a lie. It wasn't until a flint actually appeared in the temple of the evil god that I realized that this legend might be true."

Miao Xiaoxian paused for a moment: "To remove the Gu, we first need to understand the habits and preferences of the Gu worms, and then conduct reverse research! But the Gu in Wei Shengnan's body has already grown up, and there is no possibility of breaking it. The only way I can think of to save her life is the three divine stones."

"The Dokoho Stone Statue!"

I blurted out the name: "According to the records of the judges, when Nurhaci was rising to power and unifying the various tribes of Jianzhou Jurchen, after conquering each tribe, he first had to abolish the shamanic ritual site of that tribe—the tangzi—and replace it with the tangzi of the Aisin Gioro clan."

In addition, the guardian deities and ancestral deities worshipped by each tribe for generations should be placed together within the guardian deities and ancestral deities worshipped in the Aisin Gioro clan's ancestral hall.

After Nurhaci gathered all the statues together, he discovered that one stone statue was missing! Legend has it that the statue could generate water in dry land and was the source of the earth!

For this, he slaughtered the tribe that hid the statue, but the statue's whereabouts remained unknown! In the "Tales of the Judge's Record," it is listed as one of the Ten Treasures.

"Dokoho? Isn't that the goddess worshipped in shamanism?"

After listening to my words, Old Master Wei said quickly, "The Wei family's lineage of exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path combines the strengths of many schools, including shamanism! I have a good relationship with several high priests of shamanism in Northeast China. I will immediately send someone to contact them and inquire about the whereabouts of this statue."

Wei Xiao reminded him from the side, "Dad, even if this stone is real, Nan Nan probably won't be able to hold on for that long!"

"I can help with that."

Miao Xiaoxian rummaged in her pocket, finally opened a small bamboo tube, and took out a worm the size of a grain of rice: "Its name is the Life-Changing Worm. After entering the human body, it can absorb things that are harmful to the human body and provide nutrition at the same time. However, if it is taken out after seven days, it will turn the tables and absorb the human body's influence for its own use."

This insect was left to me by my elders. If used, it can sustain her life for seven days. However, if you cannot find a solution within those seven days, she will die!

After listening to Miao Xiaoxian's words, I said to Grandpa Wei, "Grandpa Wei, the situation of single men can't get any worse. I suggest we try this method. What do you think?"
