Chapter 171 Borrowing Longevity Gu 2

Speaking of [Borrowing Longevity Gu], Zhang Zhongjing started talking about his own origins.

The great-grandfather of the Zhang family was once a beggar who was forced to beg for food everywhere after his family was destroyed by a plague. While begging for food, he met a wandering bell-ringing doctor.

The bell-ringing doctor's kindness to the two buns changed their lives.

The bell-ringing doctor, who was afraid of dogs, was chased and bitten by a wild dog outside the city, but was met by a wandering little beggar. He bravely used a stick to drive away the dog and saved the bell-ringing doctor from the dog's mouth.

The bell-ringing doctor felt sorry for the little beggar and felt sorry for him. He also realized how lonely it must be to be wandering around the world alone, so he took the little beggar in and kept him by his side.

Unexpectedly, the little beggar was extremely talented and was very interested in his medical skills. He understood them immediately and could identify herbs almost at a photographic memory.

The bell-ringing doctor was overjoyed to have found a treasure and took him in as his disciple, passing on all his life's skills to him.

This is the story of Zhang family’s great-grandfather learning medicine.

Afterwards, Gaozu devoted his entire life to studying and learning. He wrote "Zhangshi Records of Difficult and Miscellaneous Diseases" to pass on to future generations. He also created an ointment that was very effective for hemorrhoids and passed it down to the world.

After being passed down from generation to generation, by the time of his grandfather, he had already been known as a "miracle doctor".

When he met his father, Doctor Zhang became even more famous.

As for himself, when the war broke out on the border and countless people were killed and wounded, he threw himself into the army and became an army doctor.

Later, the Duke, who was still the Crown Prince, was poisoned by a spy planted in the military camp by the enemy country, who relied on himself to step by step to the side of the old Duke.

After the spy successfully poisoned the person, he laughed out loud and committed suicide on the spot, uttering vicious curses.

If you want to survive, you have to borrow the lives of your wife and children.

Everyone was resistant to this curse, but no one knew what it meant.

At that time, when the Duke was poisoned, he had just reached the age of twenty and had not yet married or had children. After being poisoned, he only felt something moving in his body, but everything else was normal.

Because of this, everyone gradually let down their guard.

After the Dali army defeated the enemy, the two countries began truce negotiations, and the Duke returned to Beijing to marry the girl he had been engaged to.

After the marriage, the Crown Prince's wife gave birth to the eldest son, Xu Xing, the following year.

As soon as Xu Xing was born, the midwife saw something moving under his wrinkled skin when she was washing him. She was immediately frightened.

There was also something moving around in the Crown Princess' body, and she began to feel a heart-wrenching pain and vomit blood every day.

Two years later, the Crown Prince's Consort was gone.

Later, the Duke remarried, who was Xu Zhao's biological mother and Xu Xing's aunt.

However, not long after Xu Zhao was born, his mother died of the same symptoms as Xu Xing's mother.

The Duke thought about how he was poisoned but still fine, and recalled what the spy said before his death. So, he ordered Zhang Zhongjing to disguise himself as the bell-ringing doctor and travel thousands of miles to the enemy country to inquire about it. He actually found out about the [Borrowing Longevity Gu].

This is a kind of poison specially cultivated for men.

After the poisonous insect enters the host body, it will split into several larvae. These larvae will be transferred to the woman during intercourse, and then parasitize in the mother's body. After pregnancy and childbirth, some of them will parasitize the child.

If a person who is poisoned by the Gu does not have sexual intercourse for a period of time, the Gu worms will not be able to divide in the body and will release a toxin after a certain period of time. If this continues for a long time, it will cause harm to the human body and eventually lead to death.

If a woman who is parasitized by the larvae does not give birth after a period of time, she will die from the toxins released by the larvae.

As for men, if they do not inherit the genes after adulthood, they will die sooner or later.

This is the origin of [Borrowing Longevity Gu].
