Chapter 294: The Second Level, Not So Sure
Unfortunately, Mo Nihong is not an impulsive person.
She was not stupid. She saw Yuan Wanru coming out of the Gu cave easily. No one knew the depth of this young woman in front of them.
Three thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money. For villagers like them, it takes many years to accumulate such wealth. Mo Nihong will not act on impulse and lose it easily.
"No gambling, your win or loss has nothing to do with me."
Yuan Wanru shook her head regretfully. Alas, Mo Nihong didn't fall for it.
She could see that this person was not on good terms with Hua Lingxiao and wanted to take the opportunity to vent Hua Lingxiao's anger.
The result was self-evident. Elder Jiao said loudly, "Mrs. Jiang has passed the first level. The second level is about controlling the Gu."
"Everyone in our Gu Sect carries a Gu on them. During the test, we pick a few people from the village, and Madam Jiang chooses one of them. Then, if you can control his Gu to leave his body, you will pass the test."
Yuan Wanru was a little unsure about this.
She is really not very good at controlling poison.
She guessed that the next level would most likely be to remove the poison. For her, the third level would be easy to pass.
"Is there any time requirement for this second level?"
Elder Jiao explained: "According to the rules, you can be given two days to prepare. At the latest, you can start on the third day."
After all, the control methods of each kind of Gu are different. It is not easy to control someone else's Gu from leaving the body. Luck and strength are both indispensable.
In the process of controlling the poison, if you are not careful, you may suffer backlash.
Fortunately, it wasn't about to start. Yuan Wanru nodded: "Then, let's start on the third day."
More time means more confidence.
Mo Nihong smiled contemptuously, "It seems that you are just like this. If you are afraid, admit defeat immediately, and I can give you ten taels of silver for your journey. Get out of our village as soon as possible."
Yuan Wanru glanced at her and said, "If you think I will lose, then you can gamble with me. But I think you don't have the courage and can't afford to lose."
"You don't have any money, oh, if that's the case, I'll give you a few points. If you win, I'll give you three thousand taels. If I win, you can just give me two thousand taels."
"Everyone, look at me, am I very magnanimous? Now let's see how courageous Elder Mo is."
"I heard that your Mo family is the second largest clan in Gu Sect. You can't even come up with two thousand taels, right?"
Every word was provocative. The other people in Gu Sect all stared at Mo Nihong. She also wanted to save her face. Since "Su Wanru" had said so much, how could she back down?
"No need, I'll bet three thousand taels with you."
Although it was her most precious money, judging from Yuan Wanru's reaction just now, she might not be able to get through it smoothly.
Ignorant and stupid woman, since she insisted on giving her money, why shouldn't she accept it?
"If you lose, don't deny it."
Yuan Wanru smiled with satisfaction: "This is what I wanted to say to Elder Mo, but with so many witnesses present, I don't think Elder Mo would be so shameless as to deny my gambling money."
Mo Nihong was so angry that her teeth were itching. She really wanted to cast a curse on her and turn her face into a rotten one.
For many years, no one dared to challenge her authority like this.
Even though Hua Lingxiao and her had always been at odds, he didn't dare to ridicule her like that.
"You're quite good at talking. Let's wait and see."
-
After dinner, Yuan Wanru leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
Lu Jiangnian looked at her deeply and wanted to ask her something, but in the end the words rolled around in his lips before he said anything.
She was probably trying to think of a solution, and since he couldn't help, he shouldn't disturb her thoughts.
So, he guarded her quietly, his eyes fixed on her face without blinking. When he liked someone, even if he just stared at her like this, he would be filled with joy.
Every time I look at her, I think she becomes more beautiful.
A capable woman exudes alluring charm all the time. Thinking of her previous performance, Lu Jiangnian felt extremely fortunate that such a wonderful woman had become his wife.
Yuan Wanru was indeed reminiscing.
In the book "The Secret of Miao Medicine", the focus is mainly on the removal of poison, and there is very little content on the control of poison.
Thanks to her excellent memory, she still remembered two of the descriptions about controlling poison, but she had no idea how to use them specifically.
It seems that this matter still requires the help of Hua Lingxiao.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Lu Jiangnian's burning gaze, which was warm and full of tenderness, which made her heart skip a beat: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
When Lu Jiangnian came to his senses, he realized that he had been staring at her stupidly for a long time. How stupid he was.
He lowered his head and drank tea to cover it up. "Nothing, I was just wondering what happened to the blood test today?"
Yuan Wanru was just about to explain this matter to him when she heard Liu Yan outside say, "Master, Madam, Miss April is here."
Hua Siyue rushed over and didn't have time to say anything else when she entered the room. She hurriedly asked, "Sister Wanru, it's not easy to control the Gu. Are you sure?"
Yuan Wanru said frankly: "I'm not sure."
Lu Jiangnian frowned. It seemed that things were more difficult than he thought.
She had to work really hard because he was infected with this evil Gu.
Hua Siyue was stunned for a moment, then took the opportunity to persuade her: "In this case, why don't you just give up? Other people's Gu is not so easy to control. If you are not careful and it backfires, you will get hurt."
As she spoke, her voice suddenly dropped: "You may not know, my mother died because of the backlash of the Gu..."
Hua Siyue forced a smile and said, "So, Sister Wanru, don't take any risks. Although the Phoenix Jade Fruit is good, it's not as important as your life."
Lu Jiangnian's heart twisted into a ball: "No, let's give up."
Although he really wanted to remove the poison, he couldn't bear to see Yuan Wanru take the risk.
Today in the Gu Cave, he could see that she was full of confidence, so he let her go in.
However, the matter of controlling the poison was so dangerous. He couldn't be so selfish, nor could he tolerate anything happening to her because of it. If this was really the case, what would be the point of him removing the poison?
But Yuan Wanru couldn't possibly listen to her.
She was a studious person. After traveling through time and space to fight against the Da Jing Dynasty, she came into contact with Gu more and more, and she became very interested in it.
How could she give up the opportunity to learn more in depth?
"I never make meaningless attempts, but I never give up easily, do you understand?"
"I don't do these things just because of you, don't try to persuade me."
After just two sentences, Lu Jiangnian understood that he could not persuade her.
However, she was so persistent and determined that she seemed to be glowing, which made his heart completely confused.
Like, kiss her.
But, there is also the ruining Hua Siyue, right next to me.
Yuan Wanru didn't have time to pay attention to his mood swings. She looked at Hua Siyue and said, "Can you teach me how to control Gu?"
Hua Siyue's face flushed immediately, "I..."
"I don't quite understand."
Perhaps because she was unable to help and felt ashamed, her head lowered lower and lower, almost crawling into the crack of the ground.
