Chapter 592: Who will be the next Saint?
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "The Yueyi Luo clan worships the Insect God. The Insect God is a matriarchal clan, and women have an absolute status in Yueyi Luo."
"Of course, absolute loyalty is also required of men."
"According to Yue Yiluo's customs, my father will take the seed Gu of my mother's natal Gu in the wedding wine on his wedding night. If my father falls in love with someone else, the seed Gu will devour his internal organs, making his life worse than death."
"My father didn't know about this at first. He fainted from the pain the night he was going to take a concubine. He was only saved by my mother when she arrived."
"After my father learned about his destiny Gu, he asked to divorce my mother."
"Unfortunately, once the natal Gu is planted, there's no chance to regret it. My mother told him this before the wedding. At that time, his eyes and heart were filled with my mother, and he made one vow after another."
"He probably never thought this was true, or perhaps he had long forgotten the oath he made."
"In short, my father made a scene and went crazy, and my mother just watched him make a scene and go crazy quietly."
"My mother also told my father that if she died, the Zi Gu would immediately backfire, and he would die in extreme pain."
"If my father died, my mother would hardly be affected."
"My father couldn't stand the torture once, so he sent his concubine away and never dared to have any other thoughts again."
"These things happened when I was very young. I don't remember them at all. All I remember are images of my father and mother being in love."
When Ji Yunshu said this, he laughed at himself.
"I was still young when my parents died, and I didn't know the twists and turns of their lives."
"I have always believed in their love."
"It wasn't until a while ago when I went somewhere and found my mother's belongings that I learned that they were only loving on the surface, but had actually fallen apart long ago."
Xie Yingmian's eyebrows twitched slightly.
She remembered that some time ago, Ji Yunshu and Tu Bufan went to a deep mountain. In the mountain, they were infected with the fetal Gu, and Ji Yunshu became pregnant.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Sorry, I've gotten off topic."
"Let me continue talking about Yue Yiluo."
"The Yueyi Luo clan has lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, and not many people go out."
"Because they are isolated from the world, they are as pure as children and have very simple temperaments. When they go out, they are always deceived. They have poisonous insects on their bodies, so they are rarely deceived physically, but are mostly deceived of their money."
"There is a small gold and stone mine on the mountain where the Yueyi Luo tribe lives."
"Gold and stone ore is similar to ceramics to the Yueyi Luo people. We use gold ore to make bowls, chopsticks, pots, and other utensils. People who go out will bring a lot of gold leaves to exchange for food, salt, and other things."
"They don't think gold leaves are a good thing. In their eyes, gold leaves are no different from lumps of dirt in the ground because they are made from discarded scraps."
Ji Yunshu was a little amused when he said this.
"They were too generous and attracted some covetous people. These covetous people were discovered by the Saint before they could even get close to Yue Yiluo's gathering place. They were besieged by insects and suffered serious injuries or even death."
"With the Saint here, no outsiders can enter."
"And my mother is the previous Saint."
Xie Yingmian: "Is your mother the previous Saint?"
Ji Yunshu said: "Yes."
"I look very similar to my mother. Aunt Ayiduo knew my mother, so she was so surprised when she saw me."
"A Saintess of Yue Yiluo cannot marry and have children. When my mother married my father, she automatically gave up her position as Saintess."
"When the position of Saint is vacant, there will be a new election."
Xie Yingmian asked: "Then, who is the current Saint?"
Ji Yunshu: "Ayiduo said that the saint who succeeded my mother was named Azhixi."
Xie Yingmian had never heard of this name.
She asked, "Does this name translate to rain?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "No."
"Azhixi means moon. In the Dayu Dynasty, the name Azhixi means Ayue."
Xie Yingmian frowned.
She thought that Aunt Yu would be the next Saint.
"Where is this Saint Ayue now?"
Ji Yunshu did not give a direct answer.
She said, "Princess, please listen to me first."
"Things are far more complicated than I thought."
"We were just talking about Saint Yue Yiluo."
"The Saint is not chosen casually. There is a very strict procedure for selecting a Saint."
"The candidate is carrying a special pill and is heading to the Absolute Flame Insect Valley."
"There are a lot of insects in the Absolute Flame Insect Valley. If you can control them, you will be victorious."
"If you can't control it, you'll be devoured by the bugs. Take the pill before the bugs devour you, and the bugs won't get close to you for three days."
"After three days and three nights, if the pill is still there, you've passed. If it's not, you're eliminated."
"Only after you clear each level can you move on to the next level. Only those who have cleared all levels are qualified to be called a Saint."
"The Saint of Yue Yiluo must be the most skilled in controlling Gu, and she is also protected by the Insect God. She is the divine messenger of the Yue Yiluo clan, and also the king of the Yue Yiluo people."
When Ji Yunshu said this, his voice became heavy:
"But, something went wrong at the end of the Saint Maiden selection."
