"This is a hundred-year-old poisonous Gu. It only has poison in its body, but it can also be used as medicine. We will know whether it is the King of Gu after a try." Miao Xiang's father has a special potion that can be used to test its identity as long as it is sprinkled on the insect.
If it is a normal poisonous insect that can control the human body, it will curl up and face upwards when it comes into contact with this potion. If it is a poisonous insect that has been cultivated to a higher level, similar to the descendants of the Gu King, when it comes into contact with this potion, it will not move at all, just like it will come into contact with ordinary water, and will not have any reaction.
Rong Zhen stood at the door, nervously watching Miao Xiang's father drip medicine on the insect, but to his surprise, it didn't move at all.
"Dad! It seems that this is really the descendant of the Gu King. I didn't expect to be so lucky today. I will quickly make it and give it to Dad. This way, the poison in your body can be detoxified." Miao Xiang closed the box excitedly, fearing that it would run away. Rong Zhen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Gu King. Maybe if she took this thing back, it could save her life.
Gongsun Ningxue was lying on the bed and had already heard the people talking in the yard.
Looking at Rong Zhen walking towards her with an expressionless face, she smiled bitterly.
"If it was you, I would have guessed it."
Gongsun Ningxue coughed violently a few times, and Rong Zhen strode forward, feeling guilty towards her.
"I'm sorry, I failed to protect you. I didn't expect those people would continue to track you."
"This is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame my bad luck."
Gongsun Ningxue sat up and felt that she had gotten much better, all thanks to the poisons that Miao Xiang gave her. She had never thought that this thing could both harm and save people. No wonder Rong Zhen came to this place to find an antidote for Gu Yunru.
"Your Highness... I heard what Miss Miao said just now. If you take the Gu King away now, maybe you can save the princess' life." Gongsun Ningxue was not instigating him to do this, but knew that he came to Miaojiang specifically for Gu Yunru.
Now that we have grasped this glimmer of hope, we must hold on to it tightly.
"I will ask her for help with this matter." Rong Zhen said, turned and walked to the door.
I watched Miao Xiang skipping all the way to the kitchen, and saw her carrying the basket again, not knowing where she was going.
"Where are you going?"
"Of course we have to find something for it to eat from the mountains. This kind of creature is extremely difficult to raise, and it doesn't eat leaves. We can only catch some earthworms, grasshoppers and the like for it." Miao Xiang looked extremely happy and cheerful, and she took the sickle and put it into the basket.
"Let me go with you." Rong Zhen was just worrying about how to start the conversation, so he found a good opportunity to walk side by side with her and make such a request. Maybe the other party would agree to his request out of the blue.
"Okay." After packing her luggage, Miao Xiang set out up the mountain with him.
"Look, that bunch of purple flowers over there is called corpse arum. It can release some psychedelic gas. We should stay away from it when we see it."
Miao Xiang is very familiar with the things in the mountains and forests. When she was five years old, she came to the mountains with her father to identify the flowers and plants, and she can remember everything she saw.
"This thing is called Silver Root Flower, also known as Two Grasses. It looks very much like human fingers, so it is called that. The poisonous insects raised from this thing are mild in nature, but they have no medicinal properties."
While Miao Xiang was explaining science to him, she put all the herbs into the basket. Rong Zhen followed behind her and coughed softly, trying to find a chance to interrupt, but found it difficult.
At this moment, there were sparse noises in the woods. Miao Xiang thought it was a rabbit or something running, so she didn't take it seriously.
"You have to be careful. Sometimes there are traps set by hunters on this mountain." Miao Xiang reminded him. Rong Zhen followed her closely. The girl walked very fast.
Miao Xiang looked at him for a long time before she caught up with him and walked up to him and said, "I still don't know how to call you. My name is Miao Xiang."
"Rong Zhen."
"Oh, it sounds complicated, but it sounds nice." Miao Xiang smiled but saw that his face turned dark and soon his eyes began to roll up.
"Hey...what's wrong with you?" Miao Xiang stretched out her hand and waved in front of him, but unexpectedly his body softened and fell to the side. There was a scratch on his arm, which must have been caused by some poisonous weed.
"Hey! Rong Zhen!" Miao Xiang patted his face, but it was no use. At this time, two heads popped out of the woods. These two had been sneaking around Rong Zhen for a long time, and now they finally got the chance. They wanted to go forward and kill the weeds, but they didn't expect that they were also scratched by the poisonous weeds, and fell down with black eyes.

When Rong Zhen woke up, the mountains and fields were already dark. He looked around in confusion and found a ball of blue fluorescence approaching him.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." Miao Xiang caught fireflies, made a lantern and walked over. She had returned with a full load, but she didn't expect that he would wake up at this time. However, it was already dark, and they had to wait until tomorrow morning to find a way down the mountain.
"What happened to me just now?" Rong Zhen's mind was in a mess like paste, and he couldn't remember what had just happened.
Seeing that he was puzzled, she held a leaf in front of him and said, "Look, this is called Smiling Grass. If the tip of this leaf scratches your skin, toxins will flow into your bloodstream, causing hallucinations, vomiting and other reactions."
Miao Xiang had been observing Rong Zhen's reaction. He just fainted, which was not too serious. But when she saw the two guys foaming at the mouth and dying, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. Those two people were not from Miaojiang area, and they looked like sneaky people.
"Why is it called Smiling Grass?" Rong Zhen frowned and sat against the roots of a tree, watching her playing with the grass leaves in her hand, afraid of being accidentally hurt by it again. Miao Xiang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she saw this kind of thing. According to her, she chose this name herself.
This poisonous weed sprouts without roots and is very rampant. Everyone calls it a weed, and some people call it the five-poison grass. However, the fragrance of the seedlings is different. Seeing this grass will make you smile involuntarily, so it is given a name, called smiling grass.
"It's really strange that you can smile when you see this poisonous grass that can kill people." Rong Zhen was greatly enlightened when he came here. He didn't expect that all kinds of rare and exotic grasses could show their abilities. Especially after hearing Miao Xiang's stories about the Gu King, he became even more convinced of the poison of Gu.
"Of course, the more poisonous something is, the more uses it has. Some poisons can be used as medicinal materials. It all depends on how the person uses the herb."
