Volume 3 The Iron Will Should Be Present Chapter 15 The Secret Quotient
The method of creating Gu is to put a hundred insects in a dish to eat each other, and its survivor is Gu.
ββZheng Qiao, "Tongzhi"
There are several kinds of Gu poison contained in the scriptures, and the mountains in Guangshan have made them, using insects and snakes and the like, storing them in utensils, listening to them eat each other, and if there is one thing alone, it is called Gu.

Sanmiaojiao is a primitive sect rooted in the local area of Liangzhou, eighty percent of the believers are Miao people, and the status of believers is believers, shamans, and priests from low to high. This sect worships Miao Zu Pangu as the supreme god, based on witchcraft and Gu art, as far as Tu Shi knows, and now the Gu art faction has gained the upper hand. The people in the Sanmiao Sect acted straightforwardly and behaved strangely, and they had never developed outside of Liangzhou, so the sect had always been mysterious, and even Master Zuo knew very little.
Now he was followed by a disciple of the Three Miao Sect, and this disciple had just done all kinds of inhumane measures to his face, and the process was so painful that he couldn't even remember it. But when he looked at the bronze mirror, he had to sigh that this measure was simply amazing. His face was swollen and purple, and his height and shoulder width had increased a lot, and he looked completely like another person.
"This Gu is called 'Half-Face Makeup', which is placed on your face, and the body is planted with a 'Divine Power' Gu, which increases the strength attribute by increasing your muscle strength, and by the way, you can change your body shape." She was very satisfied with her craft.
Tu Shi said with a bitter face: "You mean I have parasites?" "He immediately thought of the nematode, damn the egg, goosebumps are up!
"Don't worry, this Gu worm can only survive for an hour, and then it will turn into pure protein and be absorbed by your body."
Having said that, the thought of insects lurking in his body made Tu Shi feel uncomfortable.
Gu, a folklore that has been passed down since ancient times, was designed into the game and glowed before his eyes. The so-called Gu worm is to put all kinds of poisonous insects in a sealed container, let them kill each other, and the last one that survives has a poison beyond the common sense of physics, and according to different recipes and techniques, it can produce Gu with different effects. The climate of Miaojiang is humid and warm, which is the best breeding ground for poisonous insects, so it is logical that it has become the birthplace of Gu control techniques. Miao Nu is good at making Gu, and those who master this technique are called "Grass Ghost Woman" or "Gu Woman".
Gu worms are disgusting and disgusting, but the effect is real. Sweet Mi has mastered the [Transfiguration Technique], and ordinary disguises can't hide her at all, even if Tu Shi's face is swollen, but her figure can't be faked, and she will still be seen through by Sweet Mi at a glance. The principle of Gu Poison Disguise and Central Plains Disguise Technique is different, it can adjust muscles and bones, and it can definitely hide the sweetness.
Pinching his face nervously (as if he was tingling with thousands of small needles of cow hair), Tu Shi asked again: "When did you change your clothes?" It can't be when I just closed my eyes, right?! β
"I won't tell you!" She grinned.
She is wearing a rainbow-colored long skirt, and the large and small color blocks are piled up on the skirt to create an amazing layering, but because it is properly arranged, it does not look disorganized, let alone noisy and covers up the beauty of the witch. She not only changed her clothes, but also coiled her hair, wore jewelry, earrings, hairpins, bracelets, and everything was complete. She is no longer the natural and reckless demon girl in the forest, but a beautiful and beautiful woman.
After the two changed their faces, they went into the city separately, and the process went smoothly, and Tu Shi also found that there were a large number of players in ambush behind the city gate, presumably sweet and sweet. After entering the city, the two met at a pre-arranged dwelling (the door of the dwelling was carved with a triangle with each side twisted, which was a unique symbol used by the Sanmiao followers to communicate). It is said that there are one or two in every city in Liangzhou, and it is impossible not to suspect that the Sanmiao Sect has ulterior motives.
The exterior of the house is no different from that of Han Chinese architecture, but the style of the secret room is very different. On two walls hang cow skulls and sun-dried wormwood, as well as colorful masks with rough and wild paintings; On the wall facing the door, there is a Miao cloth painting with exquisite texture and meticulous workmanship, embroidered with five kinds of poisonous insects with blue, yellow, red, white and black silk threads, and the heads of the poisonous insects are all towards the center of the golden twisted triangle symbol, as if they tend to be delicious insect bait. A low table that is old and a few bamboo mats are arranged simply and charmingly.
"Thank you for letting me hide here." Tu Shi crossed his legs and held oil tea (a unique drink of the Miao people), and said to Xuan Yan Shan sincerely. He is not a Miao person, but he can enter this room, which can only be said that the face of Xuan Shan is really big. The question arises again: what is the identity of the Lady who can open the back door to the Han people?
"It's okay." She turned her head and said to the owner of the house, who was also a Miao man, "Tell me all about the recent movements of the palace. β
Prince Bo, a prince who is very good at enjoying life, in order to promote the integration of Han and Miao, often personally participates in large-scale Miao activities in various parts of Liangzhou, which can be regarded as a friendly bond between Han and Miao, and I don't know why he has not been seen recently. Because he had a history of adapting to water and soil before, it was rumored that he was ill and had been recuperating in the house. The people of the Tang Sect were invited by the prince as guests, and in recent months, people from the Tang Sect have entered and left the palace.
Drinking fragrant oil tea, Tu Shi carefully weighed the pros and cons. Since the Tang Sect has a relationship with the palace, if he wants to break into the palace, he is destined to compete with Tianmi. What are his odds of winning? If...... It's not a good idea to think so, but what if Shan is willing to help him?
"There are a total of fifteen people from the Tang Sect, five of them are martial artists, and the rest are intermediate martial artists. This is all on the surface, and I am afraid that there are more powerful hands in the secret. β
Tu Shi once dealt with a monster and fought very hard (at that time, several backbones of the Xuanyuan family were defeated one after another, which can prove the strength of the monster from the side), and the strength of the martial artist - the senior martial artist - is even higher than the monster, such a tricky character actually has five in one breath, which shows how risky this operation is. You know, the palace's own defense force has not been counted!
Yan Shan couldn't help but open her mouth: "Five high-level martial artists!" Is Prince Bo so important? Tangmen is already a dog raised by the imperial court? β
"My lord, the elders say, it's up to you to decide." The Miao people knelt on the ground, respectful.
"Can we get five priests?"
"There can only be three of them."
"Forget it, so be it! Let them assemble here in two days. β
"Yes!"
The Miao people retreated. Tu Shi came back to his senses and quickly grabbed Yan Shan's arm: "Are you crazy?!" β
"It hurts! You're scratching and you're scratching! Shan exclaimed.
"I'm glad you want to help me, but the other party is too strong, you will lose a lot of manpower!" Tu Shi relaxed his strength slightly, but his attitude was still tough. Think about it, a monster in the early 35th level is enough to kill the Xuanyuan Gang without leaving a piece of armor, how much damage can five martial artists do?
"It's not crazy, the other party's five martial artists, our three priests, plus you and Ayi, five against five, we didn't suffer. In addition, you don't touch other people's bodies casually, be careful of Gu. β
Tu Shi withdrew his hand like lightning, and was about to check his physical condition, but Yan Shan laughed and trembled: "Hahaha, Ah Yi teased you!" You're afraid of being plotted, you're already afraid of a nervous breakdown, hahaha! You're so stupid! β
"Hey!! I'm serious with you! β
It was easy to stop laughing, and Yan Yan Shan clasped her palms together and moved her thin fingers: "I am also the decision-maker of the Sanmiao Sect, although you are the type that Ah Yi likes, but Ah Yi still knows the severity, and it is impossible to bury the entire organization for you." Maybe you don't know, in fact, the relationship between my sect and the Tang Sect is already about to come. β
Sanmiaojiao and Tangmen are both good at poisoning, the difference is that the former is good at Gu poison, which is essentially a biological agent extracted from animals, with a rough process, and the latter is good at mixing poison with plants and minerals, and the process is mature and perfect. The systems of the two sides were completely different, so the well water did not interfere with the river water, until many years ago, the Tang Sect began to study Gu. How can we compare the seriousness of this matter? It's like Tu Shi stealing the Wing Chun mark, which is a taboo in martial arts. However, the Three Miao Sect is a Miao sect and has nothing to do with the Central Plains Martial Arts, so the Tang Sect's move was not condemned.
"It was ...... years ago," Tu Shi wondered. The Tang Sect's poison art is unparalleled in the world, why do you want to provoke the Three Miao Sect?
"Have you ever heard of the rebellion in the Palace of the Seven Kings? At that time, the Central Plains rivers and lakes were leaderless, and the Tang Men took the opportunity to act. β
Ah, it's the Seven Kings Hall again, its influence is really omnipresent, and it's no wonder that Master Zuo is thinking about its former glory.
"We deduce that Prince Bo is sick or poisoned, and the Tang Sect is in charge of healing, which means that the Tang Sect is likely to have fallen into the Han court. The Tang Sect has achieved results in the study of Gu poison, and Sweet Honey has used the highly poisonous based on the principle of Gu art, this technique does not spread out of Liangzhou, we can still turn a blind eye, but if we let it spread to Yongzhou......"
Tu Shi noticed that the demon girl's eyes were suddenly cold, and her heart suddenly shuddered.
"Then the Three Miao Sect is over."
"Uh, is it that serious? At most, the court has a way to watch out for youβ"
"You're so naΓ―ve, Yu Qingfeng." She tilted her head and chuckled lightly, sneering: "Everything and everyone in this world are interconnected, and there is no isolation. You only saw that the imperial court mastered Gu poison, have you ever thought that the first person who masters Gu poison is people, and people are the most elusive. β
The decision-maker of the Sanmiao Sect stretched out his hand and pointed to the window covered with bamboo curtains: "How long have you been playing this game?" Don't you see how serious the situation is? Under the internal and external troubles, many forces are preparing for the end, if a noble person in the palace or in the court suddenly dies, it is not surprising, right? But if that noble man dies from the legendary Gu poison that 'will not be passed on', won't our Sanmiao Sect fall victim to politics in vain? The Tang Sect can't eliminate us, but what about the imperial court? β
Tu Shi was speechless when asked, feeling that he was not playing the same game as others.
"Our conflict with the Tang Sect this time is imperative, helping you is just doing it, you don't even have the right to suggest. You have to be mentally prepared for the worst-case scenario of Prince Bo's death. Her fingers were wrapped around a strand of hair, and it was so bright and beautiful.
