Staring at the Gu worm pierced by the tip of the silver needle in Long Tianyu's hand, Ye Feng asked puzzledly: "Xiao Yuzi, what exactly is the Gu worm you are talking about, I also often study pills, poisons and the like, why have I never heard of this kind of thing?"

Long Tianyu thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was indeed no record of Gu worms on the Dragon Continent, or it was not called Gu worms on the Dragon Continent.

Long Tianyu thought for a while and said: "The matter of Gu worms is relatively mysterious, and there are relatively few people who know about it, so it can only be seen in some ancient books, and it is normal that you have not heard of it." ”

Seeing that everyone was very curious, Long Tianyu told everyone what he knew about Gu worms.

Gu worms, according to legend, the method of making Gu worms is to put all kinds of poisonous poisonous insects in a closed container, let them fight each other in it, and the last one left is called - Gu.

The word "Gu" is composed of utensils, which originally refers to insects born in utensils or utensils that are damaged by insects. Gradually, moths born from grain decay and insects formed by the deterioration of other objects are also called "Gu". Gu is called "Gu". Gu is believed to have unpredictable properties and extraordinary toxicity, so it is also called "poisonous Gu".

Some Gu makers emphasize the need to gather poisonous insects on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (Dragon Boat Festival), which is influenced by the traditional belief that poisonous gas is at its peak on May 5. "Gu, more than the Dragon Boat Festival, take advantage of the Yang Qi to use medicine, is to cause people to get sick and die. Again: "It is mostly made of snakes, insects, and centipedes, and if it cannot be rescued, it can be killed with one touch." ”

The method of raising Gu in the legend is similar to that of the previous two years in the "General Chronicles". According to the "General Chronicles", a hundred kinds of insects were used, but only 12 kinds were asked for by the Yi people. Before raising Gu, the main hall should be cleaned clean, the whole family should take a bath, sincerely burn incense and light candles in front of the ancestral gods, and pray silently to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. Then in the center of the main hall, dig a big pit, bury a large vat down, the vat should choose a small mouth and a large belly, so that it is easy to cover. And the smaller the mouth, the less you can see what is going on in the tank, the more likely it is for people to be horrified of what is in the tank, and to be in awe of the horror. The mouth of the jar must be as flat as the earth. Wait until the fifth day of the fifth month of the summer calendar (Duanyang), go to the field and catch twelve kinds of reptiles at will (not the reptiles caught in Duanyang that day can't raise Gu), put them in the tank, and then cover the lid. These reptiles are usually poisonous snakes, eels, centipedes, frogs, scorpions, earthworms, large green caterpillars, praying mantises, ...... In short, there are no flying creatures, and no four-legged running creatures, just some poisonous reptiles. After these twelve reptiles were put into the tank, the owner prayed once every night after falling asleep, and once a day before people got up. Pray for a year, not for a day. Moreover, when cultivating Gu and praying, it must not be known to outsiders. If outsiders know about it, the Gu raised by himself will be collected by the wizard with a demon method and used by the wizard, and the owner will die as a family. Even if it is not taken away by the wizard, after becoming a Gu, it will harm the master.

During the year, those reptiles devour each other in the tank, the poisonous ones eat the less poisonous ones, the strong ones eat the weak ones, and finally only one remains, and after this reptile eats the other eleven, it also changes its shape and color. According to the legend there are many kinds. There are two main ones: one is called "Dragon Gu", which is similar in form to dragons, and is about the result of long reptiles such as poisonous snakes and centipedes. One is called "Qilin Gu", which is similar in shape to & , and is about the result of short-bodied reptiles such as frogs and lizards.

After a year after the Gu had been cultivated, the master dug out the jar and hid it in a secret room with no air and no light. It is said that the things that Gu likes to eat are scrambled eggs with lard, rice and the like, after three or four years of raising, the Gu is about a zhang long, and the owner chooses an auspicious day to open the cylinder head and let the Gu fly out by itself. After Gu leaves home, he can sometimes turn into a ball of fire, hovering in the woods in the mountains, and sometimes he can turn into a black shadow and go back and forth between the houses in the village. The time when Gu's magic power is at its most is dusk. Every time Gu goes home, he still lives in the tank. On the day when it eats a person, the owner does not have to feed it. It is said that the benefit of raising Gu is not that Gu directly steals treasures outside like thieves and comes back for the owner's use, but to borrow the aura of the Gu to make everything that the Gu raiser do smoothly. If the master wants to do business, with the help of Gu's aura, he can make a lot of profits. If the master wants to be promoted, with the help of Gu's aura, he can go straight to the clouds. On the other hand, if you are accidentally and the victim of Gu knows about it, and you invite a special wizard to take the Gu away, the owner of the Gu will do everything and the whole family will die. [1]

In addition to serving devotedly every day, the Gu cultivators have to make a grand sacrifice to the Gu on the 24th day of June in the summer calendar every year. This ritual lasts for three days, that is, on the 24th, 25th, and 26th, during these three days, the master should cook a fresh pig, a chicken, and a sheep every day, and when the stars are in the sky at night, the whole family will move the pigs, sheep and chickens into the secret room where the Gu is raised, and prostrate and pray, and after the prayer is completed, the pigs, sheep and chickens will be chopped up and thrown into the tank. It is said that Gu eats a lot of food and has a high magic power. During the festival, outsiders are not allowed to participate, and the news must not be leaked, otherwise there is a danger to the life of the family. In addition to the method of polyinsect biting each other, various special poisonous Gu have special manufacturing methods.

Listening to Long Tianyu finish speaking in one breath, everyone seemed to be stupid, and it took a long time to react.

Ye Feng wanted to reach out and touch the Gu worm on Long Tianyu's silver needle, but was stopped by Long Tianyu and said: "Little madman, this thing can't be touched indiscriminately, if you are not careful, it will be entered by the Gu worm in your body, and I will not be able to relieve you at that time, and your life will be in the hands of the person who will kill the Gu worm." ”

Hearing what Long Tianyu said, Ye Feng was so frightened that he hurriedly took his hand back, took two steps back and said, "This thing is too evil, Xiao Yuzi quickly destroy this thing." ”

Long Tianyu nodded and said, "You all go out first, I will use Long Yuan Fire to burn these corpses on the spot, otherwise if someone touches these corpses, they will be hit by the Gu worms on their bodies." ”

"Silly boy, you won't have anything to do, this Gu worm is so powerful, what if you fall for the Gu worm?" before leaving, Lan Yan'er suddenly turned her head and asked.

As soon as Lan Yan'er asked, the others also reacted, and Xuanyuan Xue said worriedly: "Anyway, there are no living people in this prison, let's directly set a fire from the outside to burn down the entire prison, and then just build a new one, it won't take much effort." ”

"Young master, the princess is right, your safety is very important, let's set a fire from outside. Yue'er also said worriedly.

Long Tianyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have the Long Yuan Fire Protection, these are just ordinary Gu worms, I won't have anything to do, you guys go out quickly." ”

Seeing Long Tianyu say this, everyone got out of the prison.

After they all went out, a burst of fire suddenly appeared on Long Tianyu's body and instantly surrounded Long Tianyu's body, Long Tianyu glanced at the corpses on the ground, and the fire on his body automatically flew towards those corpses.

Long Yuanhuo was controlled by Long Tianyu and only burned those corpses, and did not burn other things, Long Tianyu's Long Yuan Huo was not a mortal fire, and the corpse was burned instantly after it touched Long Yuan Huo, but those Gu worms were not as easy to be burned as the corpses, those Gu worms struggled desperately in Long Yuan Huo, as if they were in great pain, and wanted to escape from Long Yuan Huo.

Seeing this, Long Tianyu hurriedly injected the spiritual power in his body into the Longyuan Fire, and with the increase of spiritual power, the Longyuan Fire burned even more vigorously, and those Gu insects also lost their resistance and turned into nothingness in the Longyuan Fire.

Seeing that these Gu worms were finally incinerated, Long Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief and began to burn the other corpses.

Half an hour later, Long Tianyu walked out of the prison, everyone hurriedly surrounded him, Ye Feng asked, "How is Xiao Yuzi, have those Gu worms been dealt with?"

Long Tianyu smiled and said: "Fortunately, I personally burned them, those Gu insects are a bit weird, Long Yuan Huo burned them all for a long time, if you replace them with ordinary fire, I am afraid that they will not be able to hurt them at all." ”

Long Tianyu looked at Li Rui next to him and said, "Although those Gu worms have been burned, I am afraid that there will be fish that will slip through the net, so don't let the soldiers get close to here for a short time, and wait for a while to get closer." ”

Li Rui nodded and said: "Don't worry, the young general, this prison is used to temporarily hold prisoners, now that there is peace in Longdu, there will be no war in a short time, this prison should not be used for a long time, and there will be no soldiers here." ”

Long Tianyu nodded, and everyone walked towards the training ground, and said as Long Tianyu walked: "Those people in the Black Protector are really vicious, I originally wanted to get some useful things from their mouths, but I didn't expect to be killed by them so soon, let's be careful in the future, this time they lost so many disciples, I'm afraid it won't take long to come to us for trouble, with the character of that group of people, they will definitely not be able to trouble us in a big way, and they will definitely quietly make some small moves in the back." ”

"Yes. Xuanyuan Xue said beside him: "After I go back, I will also have a good talk with my father, so that he can pay more attention to the other princes who are usually more ambitious, lest those people of the Black Protector will tempt them to do such a thing as the Murong family in the back." ”

"It's time to be on guard and not to let this happen again. Long Tianyu said and looked at Li Rui and Wang Meng next to him, and said, "Although the barracks are relatively safe, the two generals still have to be careful. ”
