3. Lawless little Xuanyu
Gu worms.
When this word is mentioned, the first reaction of people in the rivers and lakes is Miao Jiang.
This mysterious and dangerous thing belongs to the specialty of Miaojiang, except for the Yunnan-Guizhou realm, almost no one will make it anywhere else in the world, of course, another specialty of Miaojiang is poison.
Since ancient times, Gu poison has not been separated, and if you practice Gu art well, you naturally have a good poison technique.
But the poison thing...
At present, it has basically been monopolized by the Ten Thousand Poison Gate.
Although the Miaojiang Poison Master is also very powerful, it is still not pure enough in the end, and the competition cannot compete with the single-minded Poison Masters of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, so Gu worms have become the identity label of the Miao Jiang people.
Shen Qiu is no stranger to Gu worms.
The first time he came into contact with this thing, he knew it from Ai Dacha, the usurper Gu that brought Xiuhe back to life, and the Gu that was fed to the Amazing Beast, were all from the hands of the Miao Jiang Gu Master.
The second contact was in Tai'an Yaowangzhuang.
He saw that Liu Zhuoran, the number one on the land list who was abolished by Qi Gu, was a generation of talents who was strong enough to dominate the world, but because of a strange Gu, he was completely cut off from the Immortal Dao Martial Dao, and he fell into the mortal dust.
This thing left a deep impression on Shen Qiu, making him have a strong sense of vigilance against those mysterious Gu masters.
Although his situation is relatively special, he belongs to the few martial artists in the rivers and lakes who are not afraid of Gu masters.
"This Gu worm is actually a worm that has been induced various mutations."
At night, Shen Qiu took Qingqing and walked slowly towards the small temple in Qingyifang.
Probably because of the recent evil, the night in Suzhou is extraordinarily quiet, and even the wanderers in Flower Street and Willow Lane who are looking for joy have become much quieter.
for fear of angering the mysterious and terrible "Aunt Phoenix".
Shen Qiu walked on the road, carrying the knife box on his back, and said to Qingqing, who had a vigilant face beside him:
"Since they are insects, they have their own habits, except for some rare and strange Gus, although most Gu insects are tougher than ordinary insects, they are still afraid of heat and cold.
It's a biological instinct, and they can't avoid it. ”
"That is to say, Senior Brother, if you learn Shuoxue Xuangong, you are not afraid of Gu worms?"
Qingqing asked.
Shen Qiu nodded, he raised his hand, looked at the cold qi that was wrapped around his fingers, and said to Qingqing:
"Once the cold air is released, ordinary Gu worms really can't get close.
In this Demon Sect, the Witch Sect and the Holy Fire Sect have the confidence to be able to fight against the Witch Gu Dao here.
Whether it is the Cold Pond Duel, Shuoxue Xuangong, or the Flame True Qi, Yang Yan Holy Fire Skill, when you practice to the perfection of the furnace, you can rely on the special true qi to resist the attacks of most Gu worms.
But that's not all. ”
Shen Qiu said solemnly:
"I heard from Uncle Feng that his wife is also a Miao Jiang Gu Master, and I heard that she is also from the Witch Gu Dao clan, so she naturally knows some secrets.
He said to me and Xiao Tie, this Miao Jiang Witch Gu, in addition to ordinary Gu worms, also has strange Gu.
Strange Gu are some rare and difficult to raise, but there are all kinds of wonderful Gu worms, cold and scorching, the suppression of strange Gu is very small, and some Gu worms are even immune to flame or frost.
If you encounter a Gu Master who can take out such a strange Gu, you have to deal with it carefully, if you don't have any of them, you may lose everything. ”
Qingqing listened to it really.
Although he kept nodding, he had his own thoughts in his heart.
She secretly flipped over her palm, and an invisible air flow wrapped around Qingqing's five fingers, but it dissipated again in an instant.
"Senior brother said that Shuo Xuexuan's function makes it impossible for Gu worms to get close, according to him, Uncle Mustard taught me to bind the dragon function to form a flowing wind shield, and the Gu worms will be bounced away when they touch it, and they can't get close to me.
But Uncle Mustard wouldn't let me tell anyone about this kung fu. ”
She didn't hide anything from Shen Qiu, but the mustard seed monk also made an oath to pass on her wonderful dragon binding skills, and she had the heart to show her hand in front of her senior brother, but she was afraid that she would be discovered by the keen senior brother.
The little sister was very entangled in her heart.
"You'll be on the periphery in a moment, and if the woman wants to run, stop her."
Shen Qiu looked at the moon overhead, it was almost midnight, and the "Phoenix Aunt" temple was in front of him, he was not in a hurry to do it, he wanted to see what Song beggar said, what was going on with the "midnight madness" of those evil people.
He stood in the shadows and said to Qingqing:
"This woman is fierce, and if she wants to hurt you, don't let her hand go."
While the two were talking, Shen Qiu heard a hint of movement, so he made a silent movement.
The brother and sister hid in the shadows of the street and looked towards the small temple, and after a while, there were some figures with stiff movements, coming on foot from all directions, one by one with heavy steps, sighing.
They were apparently uncontrolled, but at midnight they came alone to gather in front of the small temple.
I think I was coerced.
These people are wearing silk and satin one by one, with big bellies, it seems that Song beggar is really right, that little witch in Miao Jiang is picking on these rich people who have done bad things.
It's really a jealous and hateful character, but he has some hatred for the rich.
Well... It's not good, it's too one-sided, it's too stereotypical.
"What are they doing?"
Qingqing watched the dozens of people gather in front of the small temple, and they didn't talk to each other, just stood there stupidly, and under the moonlight, let those elongated shadows stack together.
There were so many people, but they were silent, like wood.
This scene is really a bit infiltrating.
It looks like a cult scene.
"Shh
Shen Qiu raised his fingers and said softly:
"Listen, someone's coming."
Indeed, someone came, but the sound was small, like the wind, almost inaudible.
A figure in a long robe swept from behind the Phoenix Aunt Temple, stood lightly on the eaves of the small temple, crossed his legs, sat under the moon, and held a small food box in his hand.
It was a little girl, as big as Qingqing, but a little shorter than Qingqing, wearing a long white dress, but it was not the Central Plains style, but the charm of the seedlings.
Through the moonlight, Shen Qiu could still see that the girl had a crescent headdress on her forehead, her eyes were big, her handsome face was round, and she looked a little baby fat.
"Ahem"
The girl sat cross-legged on the eaves of the little temple, coughed a few times, and then said to those who stood still:
"It's time, practice!"
As she spoke, she raised her sleeves, and a few small things jumped out and lay beside the girl, like accompaniment, croaking and screaming, the sound was loud and quite rhythmic.
And as soon as those toads opened their mouths, Shen Qiu's complexion changed greatly.
It's not that I saw something dangerous, but the scene in front of me was...
It makes people laugh uncontrollably.
The dozens of people gathered in front of the small temple began to dance in unison with the sound of toads, and the dance was not the peaceful, slow, and soft dance of the Central Plains.
It is quite a foreign style, enthusiastic and foreign dance.
This kind of barbarian seedling dance, if a demon girl like Shen Lan dances, it is naturally pleasing to the eye, but in front of them, they are all rich people in Suzhou with big bellies, one by one, pampered and pampered, and do not do good deeds.
It's not a good pleasure to watch these fat people dance.
And it's certainly not the first time.
Looking at those guys who were manipulated by Gu worms, their uniform movements were obviously "practiced" many times, and those rich people were miserable.
One by one spinning on the ground, jumping, with their eyes closed...
The fat on his body was thrown around, and sweat was dripping from his face.
But if you are hit by a Gu worm, you can't resist at all.
As long as you don't reach the limit of your body, you have to keep jumping.
Under the bright moonlight, a group of people moved stiffly, jumping up and down in front of a ruined temple, accompanied by the sound of toads, and in the toad arch guard, another plain-clothed girl sat cross-legged, admiring this strange dance.
This face...
It's more like a cult scene.
"You big villains, you don't do good things on weekdays, Aunt Ben is that... What do you mean by that? Oh, oh, Aunt Ben will do the right thing for heaven! ”
Xuanyu Pan sat on the eaves and opened the food box triumphantly.
There was a carefully grilled roast chicken inside, and the aroma made Xuanyu swallow his saliva.
This is the "filial piety" offered by her pilgrims, and everyone knows that Aunt Phoenix does not love money or treasures, but likes to taste delicious food.
Naturally, he changed his method to please Aunt Phoenix.
As a result, Xuanyu Lai did not leave in Suzhou.
For more than three months, the originally slender little beauty has a round face, but she pays attention to sports and martial arts on weekdays, and her figure is still not out of shape, and her two long legs are still eye-catching.
"Jump up for me! Give all the fat and ointment you have taken to my aunt and grandmother to lose weight! ”
Xuanyu shouted as he tore off a chicken leg and ate it with a mouth full of oil.
"Smack"
An older rich man acted out of shape, and was struck on the stomach with a silver ring by Xuanyu with a wave of his hand, and she shouted:
"Jump well! Who is still disobedient? ”
The five toads of different colors beside her screamed louder, as if mocking the two-legged beasts.
Before, they were tortured by the little witch Xuanyu, and now it is the turn of these two-legged beasts.
It's really feng shui in turn.
"Hahaha"
Shen Qiu could bear it, but Qingqing couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, no way, the scene in front of him was beyond expectations.
"Who's there!"
Xuanyu reacted extremely sharply, and when he heard the laughter, he stood up suddenly, and the five toads around him also croaked and prepared to pounce.
Shen Qiu was also helpless, so he had to stand up from his hiding place.
He looked at Xuanyu who stood up and could only shake his head.
This Miao Jiang girl is definitely not a bad person in the traditional sense.
She didn't hurt people's lives, and she spent so much effort to plant Gu worms for these rich guys, but just to make them rush here at midnight to square dance...
It's painful, but it's not even a game compared to real torture.
Of course, in the eyes of the people of this era, this imprisonment of freedom, being under evil spirits, and being terrified in the heart is a great torture.
But how can a childlike girl be a bad person?
"I was entrusted by someone to come and beg the girl."
Shen Qiu hugged his fists, didn't draw his knife, and said to the vigilant Xuanyu so gently:
"These rich people in Suzhou have indeed done bad things, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rich and unkind, but most of them are forced to buy and sell, oppress the people, and have never murdered for money, and their crimes are not to death.
And most of these people are very old, they don't sleep well every day, and they exercise vigorously at night, which in the long run will make their lives worse than death.
If the girl really wants to punish them, it will be enough to do this.
Of course, if the girl wants to torture them and take their lives, then go ahead. ”
Shen Qiu said this very kindly, but Xuanyu didn't buy it.
She ate the last piece of meat from the chicken leg in her hand into her mouth, threw away the bones, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and said to Shen Qiu nonchalantly:
"You're a nosyman.
Aunt Ben asked you, how do you know that these people have not killed anyone? They can all ruthlessly rob the poor of food, and in my opinion, it is not impossible for them to kill another person, right? ”
"Because, I checked."
Shen Qiu took out a booklet from his sleeve and threw it to Xuanyu.
The booklet was pushed by True Qi, and a trajectory was slashed in the air, and it landed a few inches before Xuanyu's feet, and Shen Qiu said loudly:
"In the past few months, I have checked all the people who were washed down by you Gu worms, and none of them were at fault, although this Suzhou City is also a little gloomy, but it is definitely not as dark as the girl thinks.
People who really have blood debts in hand and have a gloomy mind have long been scared away when they see the girl's methods.
Those local tyrants and inferior gentry who bully and dominate the market on weekdays and regard human life as a mustard, were cleaned up by decent chivalrous men during the Suzhou War, and they will not live until the girl comes to fight the underworld and eliminate evil.
Again..."
Shen Qiu sighed, and he said to Xuanyu:
"What the poor man says, does the grievance he complains about, necessarily be true?
The girl wants to do good deeds, Shen admires it, but I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate to act so carelessly. ”
Xuanyu looked at the booklet in his hand, and it was clearly written one by one, and even a few real innocents were falsely accused by people with intentions, all of which were clearly written, and they could not be denied.
This booklet was not prepared by Shen Qiu temporarily, Song beggar had already prepared it, and he came to negotiate that day because he wanted to use this booklet to persuade Xuanyu.
As a result, Xuanyu didn't give him a chance to speak at all, lost the Gu worm, and drove the Song beggar away.
Young people do things so recklessly, by their temperament, and the justice they pursue is also what they think is justice and justice.
Xuanyu pursed his mouth, and the self in front of him made his heart shake, but he still stubbornly said, unwilling to admit his mistake like this.
She said:
"Aunt Ben does things, you don't have to worry about it! You don't have to come out stronger, they dance for two more months, and Aunt Ben will let them go! ”
"Hero, help!"
As soon as they heard Xuanyu speak, those rich families who had long been exhausted fell to their knees in fright and shouted at Shen Qiu for help.
Shen Qiu shook his head, stretched out his finger, and put it in front of him.
Under the moonlight, the cold air on the fingers was cold, and this scene made Xuanyu's complexion change slightly.
Worst!
This is the kind of opponent that Gu masters hate the most.
Shen Qiu took a step forward, the cold air around him became deeper and deeper, and in the sound of the cold wind, he said to Xuanyu:
"This, I'm afraid I can't help the girl."
"Don't come here!"
Xuanyu clasped a porcelain bottle around her waist, she shouted sharply, and when she saw Shen Qiu flying up, like a swift shadow, Xuanyu panicked in her heart, so she shouted:
"Blue, red, gold, green, black, give it to me!"
"Quack"
In the noisy sound of frogs, five jade-like toads were like five arrows, spewing all kinds of smoke, and they pounced towards Shen Qiu.
Boy...
Talking about right and wrong in Suzhou on a summer night, listening to the sound of frogs, this is.
