Chapter Ninety-Nine Gu
"Don't chase it, your friends have been discovered by your mother-in-law, you better go and save them!" Li Yingying's face was calm. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's okay, I'm not worried about them, let's go and have a look!" Luo Xiaobei didn't seem to understand the meaning of Li Yingying's words at all, she not only wanted to chase, but also pulled Li Yingying to chase together.
"You let go of me!" Li Yingying's slender wrist was grabbed by Luo Xiaobei, but she had no plans to go, and her voice was also a little annoyed, "You don't have to worry about that, you can go!" ”
That's what she wanted to say.
"You can't leave it alone, can you? I don't even know what you're putting me here for some reason, I'll leave if you let me go? I don't want to leave yet! ”
Having said that, Keluo Xiaobei still put down Li Yingying's wrist, but the smell of garlic in her mouth was really bad, and the woman opposite frowned, and covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
"I'll give this back to you!" Li Yingying spread her hands, the crystal clear Tianji and the quaint Bodhi seed were lying quietly in her palms, and in the dark night, a faint luster could be seen.
Luo Xiaobei glanced thoughtfully at the things in her hand, but she didn't mean to take them, "You let me go?" Aren't you afraid that your grandmother will punish you if she finds out? ”
"It's not up to you to punish me if she punishes me." Li Yingying raised her head, exhaled lightly, raised her chin again, and looked proudly: "Take something and go far away, don't come back in the future, and don't easily believe that someone will be good to you for no reason!" ”
"Are you calling me stupid?" Luo Xiaobei frowned, but in the end he still took the thing in her hand.
"Isn't it?" Li Yingying raised her eyebrows, but she had no intention of talking nonsense with her again, "You take the garlic, go up the mountain from this road, and take your friends with you!" ”
Her fingers pointed from the road under her feet to the direction of the mountain, the night was as heavy as ink, and she couldn't see the road ahead, Luo Xiaobei blinked, and Li Yingying's bright face could be seen clearly in front of her eyes.
"Aren't you leaving?" She asked.
Li Yingying turned her head with a calm face: "I'm not leaving!" ”
"Okay!" Luo Xiaobei didn't ask the reason, "You said don't believe people for no reason, but why do you believe me?" ”
"I'm not believing in you, I'm just saving you!" Speaking of this, she sighed again, her eyes were hazy, and she whispered: "I'm also saving him!" ”
He? Or is she? Does she mean Granny Li or the monster that ran away just now? Luo Xiaobei didn't understand, but saw that Li Yingying had no intention of talking to her, and she didn't wait for Luo Xiaobei to leave, but her figure was hidden in the darkness first.
It's a strange girl! Luo Xiaobei thought secretly in his heart, turned around and went in the direction that Li Yingying said.
————
"Where are you?" Li Yingying trotted all the way, her breathing was short, her steps were a little anxious, and she chased her out of the darkness.
In front of her was a rushing river, obviously the water was not deep, but at the moment it seemed deep and empty for no reason, and the water was slowly rising with mist, but no one answered her.
"You're coming out!" Li Yingying spoke again, and there was a faint echo around her, and there was still silence when she answered her.
"You're coming out!" She called again, already with a faint cry, stepped into the water, and slowly squatted down.
The river suddenly gurgled as if in response to her, and the originally clear water suddenly turned black, and a pungent smell rose from the bottom of the river.
Li Yingying looked at the boiling blisters steadily, the tears in the corners of her eyes fell into the water one by one, just like her name, her eyes were full of water, her face was full of despair and irrepressible heart.
Her slender shoulders trembled silently in the dark night, her cries were covered by the gurgling of the river, and her eyes, buried in the crooks of her arms, did not see the black smoke that had been surrounding her and did not dare to approach.
After a while, she finally looked up, stared at the bubbling river, and muttered, "I know what to do!" ”
Getting up, Lian Lian glanced at the river, turned around again and did not look back to leave, although her figure was weak, but with a certain soft and tenacious aura.
————
If Luo Xiaobei thought that Li Yingying was tricking her into eating raw garlic before, now she understands Li Yingying's intentions. The road on the mountain was not easy to walk, and with every step she took, barbed weeds stood in her way.
Fortunately, Bodhi Zi and Tianji have returned to her at this time, and although she walks carefully, she doesn't need to be too worried. Among the barbed weeds, there was something extremely small, and every time Luo Xiaobei took a step closer, he could hear the sound of crawling.
At first, Luo Xiaobei would pay more attention, but after walking for a while, she realized that it might be because of the special smell of garlic on her body that these things did not dare to approach, and it was very taboo.
"Could it be that Gu poison can't be done?" Luo Xiaobei muttered quietly.
In the thousand-year-old Chinese tradition, garlic is not only a seasoning, but also used to ward off evil spirits.
Of course, it's hard to say whether garlic can drive away ghosts, but it's true that it can get rid of Gu. It is said that in some of the cloud-shrouded deep mountains and old forests in the southwest, there are Miao Jiang people who are known for making Gu.
Gu poison is both Gu and poison. Gu is a worm, or a plant, or a stone, but it is believed to give life in a certain sense, but the poison is made by the Miao Jiang people by grinding and flouring themselves with highly poisonous herbs or insects.
If you want people to die in a short period of time, you will use poison, but if you want to control someone for a long time, or if you want people to feel that life is worse than death, then you must use Gu to torture slowly.
Since the Gu method can harm people, it can also be used to help people. However, for thousands of years, it has been handed down that Gu poisoned people, and there has never or very little ever heard of using Gu to save people.
Since 5,000 years ago, they have climbed mountains and waded through rivers, experienced thousands of hardships, fled from the Central Plains from the Chu State to the plateau and all over the world, and since then they have been hiding in the mountains or dense forests, or in towns, living a calm and peaceful life that is not known to outsiders.
However, there are not many people in Miaojiang who are good at making Gu and raising Gu, because of Gu raising, they also have to pay a huge price.
A few are still raising, but most of these people have already lived in isolation. In addition, the cultivation of Gu worms requires the cultivation of Gu people's own essence and blood, and the essence and blood of women are the most feminine, and it is necessary to select Gu seeds among a large number of Gu worms, which is a long-term war of attrition.
Luo Xiaobei had seen these in the master's study, and obviously, she had encountered it today.
Isolated, good at raising Gu, a woman!
