Chapter 272: Gu (3)
The long "worm" that crawled out of Wang Changli's head was as green as his face. The long strip is the shape of a long worm.
But it is very different from the long worm, it has no feet and no eyes, just like a strange species. On the ground, like a maggot, wriggling and crawling.
"Hiss~" Hu Xiu looked at it with a little spicy eyes, even if he saw an unknown number of dead people, but when he saw this scene, he was still a little disgusting.
Especially the green headless, brainless, and footless insects, which are still wrapped in a layer of white brain 1 pulp, just like brain flowers.
"Grandmother, what's going on, how can bugs appear in his brain?" This Wang Changli is not an eighth-order master, how could he let the insects drill his brain.
And the way he looked just now, obviously wanted to kill him, but why did he want to kill him, he couldn't figure it out. Grandmother is on the roof, if he dares to do it, he will definitely die.
"It's not a bug," Grandmother Gao stepped forward, expressionless, just looking at the green thing on the ground, "I really didn't expect to meet them again after thirty years." ”
"Grandmother, why can't I understand a word of what you said?" Hu Xiu stood aside, scratching his head.
"It's nothing, you just need to know, it's this thing that controls Wang Changli. It devoured Wang Changli's brain and parasitized on his body.
replaced his brain and knew everything Wang Changli knew, but he was no longer Wang Changli. ”
Grandmother didn't bend down, but with a movement of her two fingers, the strange insect was suspended in the air.
"Control people's consciousness?" Hu Xiu suddenly thought of something, his grandfather seemed to have told him something similar, this kind of thing, not a worm, isn't it...
"Grandmother Gao, is it Gu?"
"Hehe~ Gu worm?" Grandmother Gao sneered, "Gu worms are not as powerful as this thing, Gu worms can only kill people, but they will not control people."
There is no sorcerer behind this, there is someone else, Ou, there should be something else behind it. ”
"And what is this thing...?"
After talking about this for a long time, Grandmother Gao still didn't make it clear what this thing was.
Grandmother still didn't speak, just fixed her eyes on the strange insect. I just watched it levitate in the air, and its body kept twisting, as if it was in some great pain.
Slowly, its movements slowed down, and a burst of blue light flashed, and the insect disappeared, leaving a small piece of cyan object in the air.
The texture on it is extremely beautiful, and it looks very much like a tree root, and it is also an extremely precious tree root. Even Hu Xiu, a foreigner, feels extremely beautiful when he looks at this thing.
"It's such a beautiful root, but how did this insect become a root?" Although Hu Xiu thinks it's beautiful, he is still very confused, insects turn into tree roots, is this juggling?
"This thing is not a tree root, and I haven't seen my grandmother in thirty years."
I looked at my grandmother as if she had thought of something, and her face was full of remembrance.
"I was really almost deceived, that guy is really the same as before, a dead hand."
"Grandmother, who are you talking about?" Hu Xiu is still in the clouds.
"A person who is not a human being, as far as historical records can record, existed a thousand years ago."
"Can a man live for a thousand years?"
Hu Xiu exclaimed.
"Didn't you say it, a person who is not a human being, this time we are afraid that we are really in trouble. I had suspected that he had done it, and this thing confirmed my suspicions.
Now, it's trouble, I suspect that the old guy is going to break through the legendary tenth order. The 10,000 people you told me have disappeared, and I am afraid that all of them are gone.
It was eaten clean by the old guy. Grandmother said with rare seriousness.
"10,000 people, how did he finish eating?" I don't eat Chinese cabbage like this, besides, that person eats Chinese cabbage, and he can eat 10,000 in one go, not to mention eating people.
"What's not possible? He can eat as much as he can eat this old thing. I'm afraid that tonight, his men will inevitably go out to find blood food for him.
The Imperial Army and the soldiers of Changying County will definitely not be able to find them. These people are the best at concealing their figures, and they are even more incomparable to the one who deceives people. ”
"Then what should I do, if they meet ......" Hu Xiu hurriedly said, it doesn't matter if the Changying County soldier is dead, but the emperor and the army can't afford to lose!
"It's going to be fine, they've always been cautious, and they won't rush to the soldiers patrolling the city. If you make a move, it's weird! ”
Grandmother said confidently, as if she knew them very well.
"However, this slain 'puppeteer' actually has a consciousness, and this is a chance to become the existence of that old thing's subordinate.
How can it be said that he is an outcast, and if he says that he has given up, he has given up. According to the character of that old thing, it shouldn't be~" At this time, Grandmother Gao thought for a while, as if she didn't understand something.
And Hu Xiu is still stuffy, what is the old thing that grandmother said. However, what has lived for thousands of years should be called an old thing.
"Forget it~" I saw that as soon as my grandmother's hand was withdrawn, the cyan "root" disappeared without a trace, and I didn't know where my grandmother received it.
"I'm sending you there, and there will be a hard fight tonight." As he said this, he heard a knock on the door not far from the house.
Hu Xiu heard it, and his grandmother heard it, at this time, someone actually came to the yamen?

ps: (beeping quietly) I don't know if there are any brothers who are watching pirated copies, to speak a conscience, I'm not writing without taste, I've seen it here.

Gu may be tangible or invisible, and poisoning is very easy, but the method of identification should be paid great attention to. How to identify after poisoning:
(1) Eat raw soybeans (black beans can also be eaten), and the entrance does not smell fishy, which is poisoning.
(2) If you chew an inch of moxibustion licorice, and the throat juice is spit out, it is poisoning.
(3) Insert a silver needle into a cooked duck egg, including 1 mouth, and take it out after one hour.
Gu poison is very powerful, it can cause people to get sick and die, although there is a way to cure it, it should not be tried lightly. It is said that the methods of prevention are:
(1) Where the house is clean and tidy, and there is no dust bead net, it is a Tibetan Gu home, and do not interact with it.
(2) Whoever eats tea, water, vegetables, rice, etc., must use chopsticks to knock on the cups and bowls, which is poisoning, and he must urgently ask the master: "Isn't it poisonous in the food?" Once asked, it can be protected from poison.
(3) Travel with garlic, every meal, eat garlic first, if there is a Gu, you will vomit, if you don't vomit, you will die, the owner is afraid of being affected, of course, he does not dare to go to Gu.
(4) Big water chestnuts, no matter how much, slices are dried at the end, and the hollow white boiling soup is sent down every morning (with two coins as the degree), and it can also be harmless if it enters the Gu family.
(5) Gu Zhi is poisoned by rice and wine, which is extremely difficult to treat, so it is advisable to go out on the principle of not drinking alcohol.
The most common way to remove poisonous Gu is to swallow the three flavors of realgar, garlic, and calamus with boiling water to expel the viciousness. The golden silkworm is the hedgehog with the most fearful head and mouth like a mouse, and the body has thorny hairs like oysters, pigs and arrows, so the hedgehog is a special medicine for the treatment of the golden silkworm Gu. Others, such as centipedes and earthworms, can also be cured.
There are many legendary ways to avoid Gu. Has the test been in the Golden Silkworm Gu? You can nibble on alum or chew raw black beans. The taste of alum is very bitter, the alum is sweet, and the raw black beans are fragrant, that is, if you are hit by the Gu, you should fry it into juice with pomegranate peel, and after taking it, you can spit out the Gu poison of the golden silkworm Gu.
People with travel experience, when they enter the Gu area to eat, they will secretly use chopsticks to pick the first piece of food and put it in their hands, and after the meal is finished, they will bury the food in their hands under the crossroads of the sidewalk, and the Gu will return to the house of the person who released the Gu. Some people pass by the Gu area and encounter suspicious food, so they first ask the owner to take off their chopsticks to pick and eat, so as to avoid being hit by Gu.
Often in the evening when the sun is almost set, burn incense under their own eaves to avoid Gu.
Some people eat in the Gu area, and usually ask the master first: "Do you have any Gu in this bowl of vegetables and noodles?" "Pick out a piece of food while picking it up, put it aside, and then eat it, and Gu can't do harm.
Ancient medicine was not developed, if someone was infected with Gu poison, usually used two methods of treatment: one is to take herbs, Zhou Li called this herb Jiacao (see Shu's note), one is to pray to the gods, please the gods to drop medicine, the historical records have "Qin Degong as a shrine, four gates of the dog yi, to prevent Gu disasters." (See Feng Zen Book).
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty says: In the midsummer month, a beige rope is used to connect the meat vegetables and the mimu together to extinguish the Gu poison, and a peach tree is hung on the gate to ward off evil spirits (see Etiquette Chronicles). The Compendium of Materia Medica cites the ancient prescription for curing strange poisons, which is to collect many poisonous insects to make Gu on May 5 every year, and this kind of Gu is mainly used to treat evil sores, but later some people use this kind of Gu to harm people. At noon on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the folk also have the behavior of "gathering five poisons" and drinking realgar wine and rubbing realgar wine on the neck, which is intended to prevent sores.
In the countryside of Liyang County, Jiangsu Province, there were often people who fell for Gu in the early years. There is a monk in the local Zhulin Temple who can cure the nameless poison, and makes a pill to treat Gu poison, and the price of a pill is a silk horse, which cures many Gu patients. Han Huang, who was an "observer" in the local area, built a temple next to the hot spring in Liyang County in order to eradicate Gu poison, and asked the monk of Zhulin Temple who knew medicine to preside over it, specializing in treating Gu poison that occurred among the people, and asked the monk to publicly engrave the prescription on the stone tablet.
The prescription for this Gu cure is: take a newborn peach at the beginning of the fifth lunar month every year, grind its skin into fine powder, and the amount is two yuan. In addition, use the end of the cantharid, first fry it with wheat bran, and then use the two coins of the end of the raw big fern, mix the three flavors of medicinal rice soup together, and knead it into a ball as big as a jujube core.
