Chapter 12 You and I in the Story

After searching for two days, Alu was finally found. However, when the body that had almost twice as swollen as the river was carried over, even Alu's parents could not believe that it was his own son, the future that the entire tribe had originally expected!

However, the search for the human hunting Gu in the tribe is absolutely impossible to make a mistake. This corpse is indeed Alu's. Although everyone is unable to accept this scene, they still agree with this fact.

The elders, Gu women and the people in the tribe all had gloomy expressions and were terrifyingly heavy. The younger generation stood by and didn't dare to show off.

Zhang Shuqian also stood aside, looking at A Luo's body, with a expressionless face and no joy and sorrow. She even looked down on her own life and death, let alone the life and death of others?

Even if this person sacrificed his natal Gu with the essence and blood of his body and then implanted it into his body in order to save him, Alu was really sincere to him, but Zhang Shuqian herself wanted to laugh. She knew that she seemed to cry at this time. The sadder she cried, the more common sense it was, and the more in line with the plot development people around her wanted to see. However, Zhang Shuqian couldn't cry, and she even wanted to laugh because she knew that she could not die because she already had a natal Gu. Moreover, this natal Gu, because Alu sacrificed herself, was higher in level and had greater growth space than Alu's own natal Gu. This also means that her future will also surpass Alu at once!

It can be said that it was A Luo's stupid care and infatuation for Zhang Shuqian that created the current situation. Zhang Shuqian was very grateful to A Luo. He kept taking care of himself like an older brother. He did not ask for any of it. The red falling from him in the morning was actually A Luo's natal Gu. It was caused by A Luo's direct burrowing into his body through his lower body, not that A Luo wanted his own body.

This stupid guy.

Zhang Shuqian sighed in her heart. Then, her eyes faced the patriarch, the Gu girl and the elders. The eyes of them looked at them with a clear disgust, because it was not for her that A Luo would not die, but they could not do anything to Zhang Shuqian, otherwise A Luo's death would have no value at all.

And the potential of the Tongxin Violent Death Gu. If it is developed and thoroughly cultivated, it will be like another killer for the entire tribe and even the entire Miaojiang! Of course, it is too difficult to cultivate this kind of Gu. First, it is necessary to use the essence and blood of his body to catalyze the same young Gu in his body. Then he willingly constantly comforts his Gu insects into another person's body, so that the other party has this Tongxin Violent Death Gu. This is a kind of gambling, a kind of gamble that no Miao tribe can afford, because a very talented Gu insect symbolizes the future of the tribe. Which tribe dares to take risks with its future? Which Gu insect would willingly take out his natal Gu and his life to another person?

And you should know that such things cannot be forced. Once you have any reluctance, you will sense the natal Gu and directly cause trouble in the new owner's body, and eventually kill both of them.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Shuqian will rely on his natal Gu to become the next generation of tribal Gu women, become the spiritual leader of the entire Miaojiang Gu world, and become the bond used by the central government to connect with Gu people.

"When I was a child, I often heard people telling that there is a kind of "stick medicine" in the countryside, which is specially used by women. If any man is placed on a man, the man will devote himself to the woman who is giving medicine to go through fire and water all his life. No love that is so long that it is so convenient and easy to save trouble. It is also said that this "stick medicine" has a mysterious place. It can be controlled by women and stipulate the range of men's travel. If the medicine is five miles away, then it can only move within a radius of five miles. After five miles, it will be in danger of life. There are also gentle people who are giving medicine. After five miles, they will especially want the woman who is giving medicine to rush back immediately until she sees this woman.

It is also said that in some remote villages, whenever there are occasions, a woman takes out an umbrella and hooks a man she likes. The man is lost and leaves with her, and she will never change her mind for life. I guess that the umbrella must have put "stick medicine" on it. So sometimes due to work, I still feel hanged in my heart, worried that an umbrella will come from behind and hook my soul and body away."

After walking out of the cinema, Alu said to Zhang Shuqian with joy. Since there were plots in the movie I just watched, it was very appropriate to talk about these stories that Alu told from childhood.

Only Zhang Shuqian, who was standing beside Alu, showed a smile on her lips. Once upon a time, in her experience, this man had the talent for witchcraft envy that all the younger generation in Miaojiang were envied. In this world, he was just an ordinary clerk, and he had no chance to come into contact with worms, nor had he been to Miaojiang.

"Hey, do you want me to give you this Gu?" Zhang Shuqian looked at Alu playfully.

"Yes, if you put a gu in me, I will never leave you in my life." A Luo smiled and was as stupid as he was when he gave Zhang Shuqian that night.

The two of them waited for the bus in front of the platform. After getting on the bus, Alu and Zhang Shuqian sat together. Alu held Zhang Shuqian's hand. They were about to get married, and they had bought a new house and bought it with a loan.

Zhang Shuqian suddenly turned her head and looked at A Luo: "Do you know how Miaojiang's witchcraft came about?"

"How could I know, how, you know?" Aro asked back.

Zhang Shuqian nodded. It was his hometown and your hometown.

"Then tell me if it's okay." A Luo thought that his girlfriend or fiancée had seen some descriptions about this from a book or magazine, and wanted to show it in front of him. However, he didn't know that what Zhang Shuqian was going to say was her and his own biological experience in the past. That was not a story, because they could not be themselves in the story.

Zhang Shuqian glanced at A Luo's eyes, then spoke, and said slowly:

"Miaojiang refers to the places in southwestern China, including Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Chongqing, Guangxi and other provinces and cities. The word "Xiangxi" has three concepts, one is the concept of geographical location, which refers to the western part of Hunan. The Yuanshui Lishui River Basin, including the Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Huaihua City, Zhangjiajie City, and Changde City. In ancient times, it was called "Miaojiang" and was a place where ethnic minorities such as Miao people live. It is the hinterland of mainland China, facing Dongting in the east, Sichuan Gui in the west, and Guangxi in the south. There are many hills and few flat lands, with rolling mountains and dangerous terrain. It has been an important border defense fortress since ancient times.

There was a Tusi dynasty in the history of Xiangxi that had existed for 800 years, which implemented a very cruel feudal serfdom. The people suffered heavy oppression, and women were more miserable than men, and had no right to live. In order to have the minimum right to survive, women in Xiangxi were forced to take measures to protect themselves. They caught dozens of poisonous smaller animals from the mountains. They put them together in buckets and covered them with lids, and did not feed them.

Next is the last largest animal. The remaining largest animal is filled with the toxicity of dozens of toxic small animals. It becomes a highly toxic animal. It is dried and ground into powder and stored in a bottle. It is called "Gu Poison". If a woman in western Hunan is violated by someone, she will secretly pour the Gu Poison hidden in her fingernails into her enemy's teacup, wine glass, meal, or water tank, which is called "Gu Poison". Only those who release Gu Poison have a unique antidote. After liberation, this custom is no longer popular.

The "Go" in Xiangxi and the "Taishou Shunting" in Thailand are called the two major evil techniques in Southeast Asia. The Go in Xiangxi is the same as the corpse driving in Xiangxi. It has not been able to point out its true situation. Unlike corpse driving, corpse driving has been almost passed down in the western part of Xiangxi, and corpse driving is mainly circulated in the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Xipu in Xiangxi. Gu is commonly known as "grass ghost" in Xiangxi. It is said that it is only attached to women and endanger others. Those so-called women with corpse are called "grass ghosts".

The so-called method of release of Gu and what exactly does Gu look like? Apart from the saying passed down from generation to generation, no one has seen it before, but the importance of different places is different.

In the Miao people's conceptual world, Gu includes snake Gu, frog Gu, ant Gu, etc. Gu breeds too much on people with Gu. If you can't find anything to eat, you have to attack the person with Gu, ask for food, and make the Gu master uncomfortable, and release the Gu to harm others.

In fact, this fearsome Gu is not the patent of the Miao people. Gu art has long been widely circulated in ancient Jiangnan region of China. At first, Gu refers to insects born in vessels. Later, moths and other objects born after the grain are deteriorated, and it is also called Gu. The ancients believed that Gu has mysterious properties and huge toxicity, so it is also called poison Gu, which can enter the human body through diet and cause diseases. Patients are like being confused by ghosts and being confused. The pre-Qin people mentioned that Gu worms mostly refer to mysterious poisonous insects that naturally occur. The long-term superstition of poisonous Gu developed the concept and practice of making Gu people. According to scholars' research, in the Warring States Period, some people used and taught methods of making Gu harming people.

The Miao people are in many remote areas. In the old days, medicine was backward and many diseases were not effectively treated. Therefore, every time they were ineffective in medical treatment, they were often attributed to Gu. With the popularization of scientific and cultural knowledge and the improvement of medical level in the Miao areas, the superstition of Gu skills has become less and less in the Miao areas.

The release of Gu is a woman's patent in Miao District, western Hunan, called Gu Wo. Although no one can produce specific evidence, outsiders and even locals believe in the existence of Gu Woman, and there is even a saying that "no Gu Woman can't be a village without Gu Woman". A poor and ragged elderly woman was pointed at by the villagers and whispered to her and was unable to turn over for a lifetime. In the end, she died of old age in poverty. The reason may be that a child who ate a piece of sweet glutinous rice cake came home many years ago and died suddenly after returning home. It was believed that she had put Gu Woman in food. The seedlings have a lot of miasma and poisonous insects. There are not many people who died suddenly. Gu Woman therefore has a solid foundation for making a name out of nothing in rumors. For travelers outside the mountain, the mystery and terror of Gu Woman are even more irritating.

It is said that many of the gu women are young women, alone and widowed. If they like a foreigner, they will put a gu in the tea he drank. The gu people get a strange disease and can't take the lead. It's useless to delay the doctor and ask for medicine. Finally, after being guided by someone with discerning eyes, they know that they have been infected with the gu. Only the gu people can cure it. The gu women control this unlucky life and keep him honestly by their side. The effect of gu is not entirely to kill people, but to control people and threaten them. This may be a more terrifying thing than death.

This kind of Gu is a poisonous insect that is extremely poisonous in the mountains. Sometimes it is a centipede or sometimes a scorpion. When she goes home, she feeds her menstrual blood in the clay pot, and chants spells it every day. The poisonous insect after it is grown is extremely fat. It is roasted and ground into powder, hidden in her nails, and it is very hidden to the other person's tea bowl, and the Gu will be put away. It is said that the method of this bullet is also very particular. If there is one finger and two fingers, the poisoned person has mild symptoms and can be cured; the Gu put on three fingers or four fingers is very sinister and is an incurable disease. Those who are hit will die. Of course, Gu can be solved by themselves, and even if you ask for other Gu, it will be useless.

Walking around the mountains in western Hunan and surrounded by green water, looking at the old mills, stone steps polished by feet, mossy wooden walls and black tiles, thin dogs, dirty children, the huge water truck that stood suddenly on the big river valley creaking and rotating, as if overwhelmed, but it has been running smoothly for hundreds of years. After watching for a long time, people become obsessed with it. It seems that everything can tempt people, making the traveler's footsteps stagnant. He just wants to stop and integrate into the slow rhythm. In his heart, he may really look forward to encountering the witch woman, and he can't explain it clearly.

The smoke from the cabin is rising, and the grass and trees in the mountains seem to be "demonic". A Miao woman looked at you and made you feel moved for a long time. There was a mother-in-law with long nails next to her. Your scalp was numb but you didn't know how to avoid it. Your legs and feet were not like your own. You drank a bowl of tea, and your heart was trying hard to think about whether the tea-giver had a snap of the fingers, but your mind was completely blank. Someone shouted in the paddy fields, and the sound of the cow bells gradually drifted away. Just think about it. The small city people are always helpless in the face of the years."

Zhang Shuqian's narrative is half true and half false, but it is enough to shock Aluo. How could this be known by just reading some information from a magazine?

"Qianqian, how do you know so much?"

"I said I am a contemporary Miaojiang Guwo, the leader of all Miao villages, do you believe it?"

Zhang Shuqian raised his hand, and a centipede that appeared from unknown places was lying obediently into Zhang Shuqian's palm. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
