The Gu Daoist tightened his grip on Ma Lihua, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said coldly, "Didn't you come here seeking medical help? Come with me."
Ma Linghua watched as he held her eldest granddaughter, refusing to return her to her, and noticed that his silver ornaments jingled incessantly as he moved around.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Ma Hehua followed behind her mother, looking at the strange rocks in the mountains and some animals.
Deep in the Ailao Mountains lies a village like a paradise, where there is no rain, only small bridges and flowing water, and many Miao people, men, women, and children.
The most abundant things are fields of medicinal herbs, and also a particularly large number of animals, such as pandas.
There are many bamboo groves, making this place seem like a fairyland, but it is also full of dangers.
"Be careful! There are many Gu worms here. Getting bitten will be very troublesome." The Gu Daoist frowned, and his tone softened considerably when he said this.
The two followed him to an antique house. The house was very solemn, and the surrounding area was full of antiques they had never seen before.
He carefully placed Ma Lihua on his boat, and couldn't help but touch her smiling face, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Why isn't the Gu Daoist coming out yet?" Ma Linghua was getting anxious. The Gu Daoist had been carrying her eldest granddaughter inside for quite some time. What was he planning to do?
The Gu Daoist's smile vanished, his expression turning cold. Remembering that they were her family, he let go of his displeasure.
After covering Ma Lihua with the blanket, I left the room.
"Master Gu, can you cure my granddaughter's illness?" Ma Linghua didn't mince words and went straight to the point.
"Of course you can, but..."
"But what?" Ma Linghua asked anxiously.
"However, she'll have to stay here for five years." Gu Daoren poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it leisurely.
"Five years..." Ma Linghua thought to herself. Wouldn't she be 18 years old in five years? At that time, Lihua would be looking for a son-in-law. If she was still so weak, it wouldn't do. She wouldn't be able to have children.
but…………
This Gu Daoist doesn't look like a good person at all. He must have some ulterior motive for being able to heal Pear Blossom.
She didn't believe that this sorcerer would be so kind as to cure Pear Blossom's illness for free.
“Five years is fine, but… what do you want? Just say it! As long as it’s within my power, I’ll do it.” Ma Linghua was quite straightforward.
"Don't rush to give me the reward. I'll tell you after I've thought it through." The Gu Daoist seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words.
This made Ma Hehua, who hadn't spoken yet, feel flustered. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that this man was looking at her daughter the same way Fa Gui looked at her!
She wondered if she was overthinking it, but this Gu Daoist was probably in his forties or fifties, right? An old man like him probably wouldn't be able to harm her daughter, would he?
Gu Daoist: "……………………"
For someone with such cultivation, he is still very young, okay?
"Alright! Think it over before you speak, but we won't leave Pear Blossom here alone, so we'll have to bother you for a few years." Ma Linghua didn't intend to leave her precious darling here.
We have to keep an eye on her; nothing can happen to Pear Blossom before she comes of age.
"what ever."
The Gu Daoist's cold voice was full of indifference.
This is not even the deepest part of Ailao Mountain. This place is only suitable for living, and these people are all servants of the Gu Daoist.
It's no exaggeration to say that this place belongs to the Gu Daoist; he is the king here, in charge of their lives and deaths.
As darkness fell, there was no Yewazi in the Ailao Mountains, only the chirping of insects; not even a ghost could be seen.
The Gu Daoist entered a secret room, which was brightly lit by candlelight. The only thing in the room was a painting.
He sat at the table, looking at the painting.
The painting depicts a woman dressed in a magnificent golden robe, surrounded by countless golden rays. She sits regally on a grand hall, with gods and Buddhas kneeling at her feet. Her posture is aloof and noble, looking down upon everyone in the hall.
She was aloof and unapproachable.
Gu Daoren touched the face in the painting, thinking that he had touched her face today, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Your name is Pear Blossom? That's a nice name, it suits you well." The Gu Daoist's words echoed in the secret chamber.
He waited a very long time, but thankfully everything was within his budget.
There was more than just that one painting in the secret room; there were many other paintings, all portraits of women in various poses.
At midnight, the Gu Daoist pressed a mechanism in the secret room, which revealed a dark path, like the mouth of an abyss.
He went down, and below was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with thick blood boiling in a large pool.
He took off his clothes, put on his pants, and walked down step by step. Not only did his muscles suddenly bulge out, but a pair of horns also grew out of his jet-black hair.
His handsome face was full of evil charm, and there were many poisonous insects in the blood pool. The most conspicuous one was a jet-black snake.
"Help...help...help me...it hurts so much!"
"Please help us!"
"I'm almost bleeding dry."
Above the pool of blood, there was an opening filled with people, hanging upside down; they were all adult, strong men and women.
The Gu Daoist was used to their cries and even found them quite pleasant.
He lay on the edge of the pool, his fingers lightly touching the scarlet stone wall. The blood pool churned, and a black tail faintly appeared in the darkness.
Although Ma Hehua was worried about her daughter, she still needed to sleep and eat as usual.
Ma Linghua suffered from insomnia, as she didn't know much about the Gu Daoist.
All that was known was that he was a ruthless and handsome Miao man.
