The people of Miao Wuzhai not only enjoy the sense of security and deterrence brought by the mystery, but also endure the indifference, alienation and stereotypical prejudice attached to the mystery.

Even Miao Wu women are famous for their natural beauty, elegance and beauty; But as long as they get out of the scope of Miao Wu Village, they will definitely suffer from the indifference and exclusion of the world. In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, these Miao Wu girls are like a beautiful flower contaminated with poison, even if they are only admired from afar, they are likely to give away one of their lives.

In fact, the fundamental operation system of Miao Wuzhai is not much different from that of ordinary people in the Central Plains; Not all Miao witch women are good at poisoning and refining Gu. Generally speaking, most of the Miao Wu men will be engaged in manual work such as farming, smelting, martial arts, slaughtering, cooking, etc.; As for the women of Miao Wu, most of them are engaged in light manual labor such as education, medical care, trading, and weaving; And those witch masters who have been heard of and changed, even in Miao Wu Village, are rare water chestnut existences.

Because aside from those complicated and single heavy manual labor, all technical jobs need to be continuously inherited and developed; And Miao Wu's Gu poison method is not fundamentally different from these technical industries!

Therefore, if you want to become a witch master who is good at using poisonous Gu worms, you also need extraordinary talent and hard work; And in addition, you also need to have enough money at home to support your basic needs! These conditions alone have raised the threshold to a very high level!

In Miao Wu Village, witch masters are actually not the same profession. As the name suggests, a witch Gu master actually refers to a wizard and a Gu master. However, with the passage of time, today's Miao Wu people call the medical profession of wizard pharmacist; And those aggressive professions that specialize in poison Gu worms are called Gu masters; The people of the Central Plains, who did not know the real situation, gave them a unified contemptuous name, called the grass ghost woman.

Although the three words of the grass ghost woman are not very good, they express the professional principles of the witch master clearly and straightforwardly.

The word Gu, although it is very mysterious in the eyes of the world; But to put it bluntly, it's just another expression of poison.

Grass refers to all plants that are poisonous or can be refined into poison; The word ghost does not refer to those spirits that cannot be seen or touched, but insects or animals that can be used; And the word Po is better understood: all the men of the Miao Wu clan are craftsmen or samurai, but no one has ever heard of the existence of male Gu alchemists; In addition, Miao Wu is a matriarchal tribe that respects women, and over time, everyone is used to this title and has also recognized this so-called fact!

So what's really going on?

Miao Wuzhai has respected women since ancient times, and there is nothing wrong with this; But men are not allowed to practice witchcraft, but it is a half-truth! Unlike those martial arts sects, this witchcraft is not a craft that is passed on to women but not men, nor is it a unique weapon for women to control men. At least in the rules of Miao Wuzhai, this technique has never explicitly forbidden men to cultivate, but they can't cultivate at all!

First of all, the first step in learning witchcraft is to first find a natal golden silkworm of your own! This step alone is something that no man in the world can do! The reason is not complicated, it is a matter of one sentence: the blood and yang energy in the man's body is too strong, and the little insects who like dark and damp do not like to eat!

This kind of small insect that brings unique skills to the Miao Wu people, although there is a silkworm character in the name, is actually not limited to the form and type of insect. In the folk commentaries, there have been many strange sayings about the natal golden silkworm: for example, if you want to refine Gu, you need to gather how many kinds of poisonous insects, concentrate them in a big pit or jar, and let them devour each other. In fact, this kind of statement has existed in the field of reproduction of many species, such as nine dogs and a mastiff, three tigers and a biao, nine dragons and a dragon, etc., most of which are the same as the people, full of romanticism.

In fact, the real natal golden silkworm needs to be 'invited' back by the witch master himself.

According to the behavior habits and the inheritance of the teacher, the witch master is divided into two major schools; One faction is the pharmacist, and the other is the Gu master. As the name suggests, one is good at medicine and the other is good at poison. However, these two terms are only differences in style and technical expertise, and have no meaning of class or hierarchy; This is just like the internal medicine and surgery of Qihuang, which are also treating typhoid fever, whether to take decoction or gua sha cupping, it is nothing more than a matter of personal choice.

If you want to become a medicine man, the method of obtaining the natal golden silkworm is quite troublesome. First of all, the person must be a girl under the age of ten, and in the month before the arrival of the Peach Blossom Festival, she uses the green silk she has accumulated since birth as fuel to brew a jar of fine rice wine; After the wine is made, the wine is drained to seal the altar, and the wine is used to thank the teacher after the Peach Blossom Festival; Take the mash at the bottom of the altar, supplemented by a unique herbal formula, plus two drops of blood taken from under the ears on both sides and stir it to form a small ball of thirty-seven pieces; On the night of the Peach Blossom Festival, find a secluded place in the depths of the dense forest, use 36 small mash balls to form a circle, and place the remaining one in the center of the circle; If it coincides with the moonlight on that night, it is the best.

Once you've done that, you're ready to go. After the Peach Blossom Festival, and then return to the secluded place of the dense forest alone, the insect that remains in the center of the circle is the little pharmacist's natal golden silkworm!

The Gu Master's way of obtaining the Natal Golden Silkworm is much simpler and easier; On the night of the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, the little Gu master came to the pre-selected side of Shanyin, used the blood of five kinds of livestock or poultry, and mixed with his own geranium, put them into an open clay pot, and buried them halfway up the mountain, flush with the mountain, and exposed the mouth of the jar; Until it gets dark the next day, you can come and retrieve the pot; And the remaining insects in the jar are the natal golden silkworms of this little Gu master.

I don't know if the two ways of Gu master and pharmacist are in another sense, 'it's not easy to learn well, and it's hard to learn badly'......

However, no matter which path you choose, in fact, the end result is the same way; The difference is only in the easy first and then the difficult, or the first difficult and then the easy. Because once the medicine man's golden silkworm is refined, regardless of its nature, it will become a vegetarian and only need to be fed herbal feed regularly to survive; However, the Gu Master's natal golden silkworm needs to be worshiped with the Gu Master's blood and fresh life.

And Shen Gui's predecessor, Wu Erge, was born as a Miao witch pharmacist; When she was expelled by the previous generation of Miao Wu Aunt, she did not take away her natal golden silkworm, and stayed in Miao Wu Village; After all, she was also at a loss about her future at that time, and she couldn't figure out whether the young man Wu Chengfeng in Chang'an City would be prejudiced against herself, a grass ghost woman; If you leave this little guy in the village, and there are experts who are responsible for raising them every day, wouldn't it be more than one stone?

Even Urge himself never thought that the natal golden silkworm that had been abandoned for most of his life could be used to save Shen Guiyi's life today! Although it is said that his own Gu cultivation will also come to naught with the death of the golden silkworm; But when was the last time she used Gu magic, and even she couldn't remember; Therefore, the loss of a natal golden silkworm can be said to have little impact on the current Urge.

After listening to Urge's persuasion, the little aunt finally nodded reluctantly. And before she took everyone away, she also instructed Urge: Twenty miles to the southwest, there is a small village and town, which is the territory of Miao Wuzhai and the transit station for foreign trade goods. Although she was forced by the clan rules to invite Urge into the village together, she could go to that small village and settle down. After the two patients recovered from their injuries, the group went there to meet Urge......

After finishing speaking, this stammering little aunt full of childlike fun took the group of rough old men into the depths of the dense forest and went straight to the direction of Miao Wu Village......

Don't look at the white ape sword immortal Hongfeng, he is a cannon temper that ignites the fire; But he usually loves children very much, even in the face of those misbehaving bear children, he will change to a good temper that is beaten and scolded; It is precisely because of this characteristic of liking children, even if the two parties have just met, this rough Hong Feng and the little aunt in her thirties laughed and played; From behind, they look like a kind grandfather with his own eccentric granddaughter.

But Bai Wenyan and Zuo Qiuliang, who followed behind, still retained 120,000 vigilance against this little aunt who deliberately pretended to be tender!

Just her identity as the 'head of the grass ghost woman' is enough to make these two seniors shudder!

The Heavenly Spirit Veins are self-enclosed circulation, which can not only prolong life, but also there is no kind of poison between heaven and earth that can have an effect on them; But they can't prevent those unknown insects from burrowing into their bodies along the seven orifices!

And after so many years of traveling from south to north, Bai Wenyan is also very aware of the vicious methods of these grass ghost women!

He once saw a handsome rich boy in the White Horse Building in Luojing, the capital of God, who had just taken a sip of wine, and a colorful butterfly flew out of his throat! When he fell to the ground holding his lower abdomen, in the time of a cup of tea, this boy and brother staged a terrifying drama of intestines piercing the stomach in public!

Although the Heavenly Spirit Vein is invincible in the world, it is only an attainment in martial arts cultivation; Even if due to the reason of broad-mindedness, the psychological quality is better than that of ordinary people, there is still a limit after all! So since he enjoyed such a horrific scene, he has never eaten stuffed anything in his life!

What buns, dumplings, wontons, spring rolls, so many years, people have never touched a mouthful! It can be seen how serious his psychological shadow has become!
