Gu Immortal Returns

Chapter 3 A baby boy is born in the village
Countless poisonous insects were poured into it, but there was never any sign that the tank was full.

Seeing that the women in the village were about to give birth, the clan leader was very anxious. He also knew that if the Gu Immortal backfired, the entire village would be killed by the Gu Immortal.

On the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month, which was also my birthday, women in the village had their waters break.

The patriarch invited several midwives from outside in advance, and he led the villagers to the ruined temple.

A witch in colorful clothes, holding a drum in her hand and mumbling in her mouth, jumped up and down in front of the team, rushing towards the ruined temple.

The poisonous insects in my body were particularly active that day. After two months, the poisonous insects had already penetrated into my bone marrow and sucked out the last nutrients from my body.

The skin on my cheeks began to rot half a month ago, and now my entire face is shapeless, revealing the ferocious white bones.

I no longer struggled, my throat had already been bitten by poisonous insects, and I kept my head hanging down, losing all my former vitality.

Although my flesh is no longer there, I can clearly hear the banging sounds coming from outside, and I can also see the gloomy sky outside.

The people in the village haven't fed me herbs for a long time. I don't know if they are still alive now?

A cold wind blew into the ancestral hall from outside, and my originally unconscious body felt a hint of coldness.

Under the leadership of the witch, the villagers entered the ancestral hall by banging.

The patriarch stood in front of me and bowed respectfully three times.

"Go!"

The witch walked up to me, took out a wooden box, and took out a piece of silver stained with cinnabar.

She walked to the vat with the silver needle and stared coldly at my face that was about to turn into bones.

With the sound of the silver needle rubbing against the bone, the silver needle penetrated my temple.

My originally clear pupils were filled with poisonous insects at this moment. I became blind instantly and my five senses disappeared immediately.

I suddenly felt like I was plunged into endless darkness. I couldn't hear any sound or smell any smell around me.

The witch then took out a handful of medicinal powder and sprinkled it towards my head.

I vaguely felt something floating towards me. When the powder came into contact with my head, the huge pain seemed to break me into pieces.

At this time, I am not as good as Mrs. Qi who was made into a human pig by Lu Pheasant. I feel like I am dead, but my soul cannot leave this body.

After the witch finished the ritual, Wang Po, who had gone crazy, unexpectedly regained her consciousness for no apparent reason.

She stood sluggishly in the courtyard. Her face was originally covered in dirt and she was wearing rags. When she regained consciousness, there was a look in her eyes again.

Listening to the baby's cry in the room, she understood that the child had been born.

She ran into the room without hesitation, picked up the swaddled baby boy, and laughed loudly.

Wang Po knew that she was going crazy during this period. She came to the ancestral hall and cursed me crazily.

That night, my five senses that had disappeared suddenly came back.

I could clearly see everything outside. My eyes penetrated the blocking houses in front of me and looked towards the village in the distance.

Listening to the cry of Lan Xiang's son and looking at the sleeping villagers, the flame of revenge rose in my heart.

Two months passed quickly, and I watched the bellies of the women in the village slowly grow bigger.

In just two months, these women were about to give birth.

Ever since the witch cast the spell, the people in the village seemed to have forgotten me. Without the torture of the past, I just stayed in the vat peacefully.

I felt the biting bites of poisonous insects day and night, suffering in tremendous pain.

This morning, the village was extremely quiet, and the people in the village were busy with their own affairs as usual.

The rising sun in the sky slowly turned blood red, and the whole village seemed to be dyed red with blood.The pregnant women suddenly screamed in pain as if they were about to give birth.

Suddenly the whole village was in chaos, and the patriarch immediately sent people to invite the midwives. When the patriarch heard that all the pregnant women were in labor, he immediately went to find the witch and led the witch to the ancestral hall beating gongs and drums.

All the men in the village who were unable to help gathered in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.

The patriarch asked several people to carry me out of the ancestral hall.

The blood-red sunlight shone on my body, and I suddenly felt a biting coldness.

The witch led the villagers, beating gongs and drums, and circled around me.

The cries of babies penetrated the people who were chanting obscure spells.

People looked towards the village in the distance one after another.

"Give birth, give birth...it's all boys..."

The voice of the midwife announcing the good news came from a distance, and the heads of the clan and those in the village all had smiles on their faces.

The clan leader quickly led his people and ran towards the village. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask people to carry me back to the ancestral hall.

More than [-] baby boys were born in the village, which made the patriarch particularly happy. He planned to perform a ritual ceremony to appease God's love.

Ever since the villagers gave birth to baby boys, the village has lost the peace it once had. Those baby boys cry day and night, especially when night falls, the cries are even more terrifying.

The villagers didn't notice anything wrong with this and just regarded it as a child crying at night.

A baby boy who is just one week old is growing very fast and can already rival a two-month-old baby.

The patriarch was even more happy when he saw that these babies were growing extraordinarily strong. He found a witch to go to the mountain to perform a ritual ceremony, first to comfort God's love, and secondly to comfort the ancestors under the Nine Springs, so that the ancestors could see their descendants in the village.

Just after dawn, the clan leader and the witch led the villagers to the ancestral hall.

After the witch entered the ancestral hall, she looked pious and knelt respectfully on the futon in front of my altar table.

After kowtowing three times, she got up and walked over to me, took out a piece of red cloth and covered the entire vat.

My eyes passed through the red cloth and looked outside.

Four young men from the village walked in, walked to me, and lifted the big vat under me.

They carried me out of the ancestral hall and put me on a red sedan chair in the courtyard.

When the sedan curtain fell, the sound of firecrackers sounded on time.

"Gu Immortal is getting up from his sedan chair..."

The sound of firecrackers accompanied the sound of gongs and drums, and the deafening sound made me even more upset.

The newborn babies were carried by the women in the village and walked up the mountain with the procession.

After a bumpy ride, people carried me to the west mountain behind the village.

The road was bumpy and bumpy all the way down, and it was almost noon when we reached the top of the west mountain.

The flat spot on the top of the mountain is where the ancestral graves in the village are located.

Stone tablets of various sizes are scattered on the top of the mountain, and the wild grass grows so vigorously that it completely covers the earthen tomb behind the stone tablets.

"Ancestors bless us - we have a successor in Poqiao Village..."

The people in the ancient music troupe began to beat the gongs and drums in their hands gradually louder.

The witch held a colorful piece of cloth and danced strangely around me.
