Shen Yue knew what "Yan Sheng" was, which was similar to the popular practice of "beating the petty person" in his port city, and likewise shared characteristics with many sorceries in Southeast Asia, involving the cursing of objects used by someone, hoping to bring misfortune or death to the individual.
It was a form of ignorant witchcraft.
However, since ancient times, this ignorant method of harming others not only did not cease to exist but became the last resort for many cowardly and venomous people.
Regrettably, this method did not necessarily doom the intended target but often left the curse caster babbling incoherently.
Therefore, pretentious poison masters would claim that practices like raising gu, Yan Sheng, and other witchcraft were against natural order and would lead to repercussions on oneself.
