There is no wind in the cracks in the ground, and it is impossible for it to rain, this sound is ......

I listened with bated breath, and suddenly my scalp was numb: this sound made people's scalps tingle, and it was the sound of countless living creatures crawling, just like the red fire worm before it.

I just felt creepy, and hurriedly walked behind Bragu, trying to take a look outside, but was stopped by him.

"If you still want to eat, I advise you not to watch it!"

I nodded my head as if I didn't understand, took two steps back, and asked, "What kind of red fire worm is out there?" ”

Bragu shook his head: "This time it's not just this, didn't I tell you before, all the Gu worms in the crack will crawl around the lake in the past few days and carry out a new round of upgrades and mating." ”

"What? Upgrade and mate!! ”

"That's right! The so-called Gu refining, simply put, can be summed up in four words, that is, the weak eat the strong, whether it is the same kind or a different type of Gu worm, the strong will eat the weak, and the strong will become stronger. ”

I nodded, as if I understood, but I didn't, and then asked, "Why are they all gathered here to mate?" ”

The first thing that came to mind was the salmon in the Yangtze River, which swims upstream every year to spawn in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River......

"Gu worms are a special creature, their reproduction requires special conditions, and the only energy that can provide energy in this underground crack is this half-dead crater, so whenever the magma bursts out, the Gu worms will gather to absorb the underground energy burst out of the magma and complete the integration."

"Ahh You mean it will last for days? ”

Bragu nodded: "I just said it." ”

Seeing that he was not in a hurry or impatient, I was a little angry, and scolded in my heart: Why didn't you say it earlier, how good it would be if I could catch a few more fish! What to eat in such a narrow crevice? What to drink?

Blagu didn't pay any more attention to me, but continued to teach me to memorize some strange scriptures sentence by sentence.

After another hour or two of breath, Bragu stopped and pointed to the two copper kettles on one side.

"There's water there, if you're thirsty, you can drink it." He stretched and continued, "Xiaoqing, they will deliver food on time, but you need to cook it by hand." ”

After speaking, he lay on his side and rested on a large rock, and stopped talking.

The sound outside is sometimes roaring like a landslide, sometimes chirping like a bird's call, I can feel that there are a lot of things outside, it should be the Gu worm in the underground rift valley that Bragu said, it is estimated that this will be mating! I was not surprised, I went to drink some water, rested for a while, and was urged by Bragu to carry those things again.

After another two hours or so, several snakes crawled in successively, the green snake brought a bird the size of a hen, the white snake had a fish in its mouth, and the black snake coiled a huge fruit shaped like a coconut.

It was only then that I noticed a pile of firewood in the slit, and it dawned on me that the old man was ready.

While cooking and eating, Bragu and I talked about the old Miao people.

"Most of the Miao witches in Miao Village are women, in your Chinese words, they are called Miao Po, of course, a few Miao Wu in the village are men, just like me, the people in the village call me Miao Gong. In our seedling village, the clan rules left by the ancestors are far more important than the law, and the people who give birth to the seedlings dare to break the law, but they dare not violate the clan rules...... You must know that if you violate the rules of the clan, you may be worse off than dead. ”

"That's not above the law!" I replied unconvinced.

Bragu smiled slightly: "Then you don't know our old Miao people, the patriarch of the Miao people, and the owner of the Miao village, they all have unlimited power, and they can even control the life and death of the clan." ”

"Ahh This...... How is this possible? "I think it's incredible.

"Believe it or not!" He straightened up slightly, "Every village has its own rules, and the owner of the village can use private acts against the villagers at will, and your so-called management department can only turn a blind eye." ”

This reminds me that before the fifties of the last century, the Tusi in Yunnan and Tibet each had their own territory and lived like a local emperor.

Blagu said that 40 years ago, the place where Sheng Miao lived was completely isolated from us Han people, whether it was marriage or lifestyle.

The most mysterious thing in the seedlings is the magic of witchcraft, in the eyes of outsiders, Gu is just a poisonous insect, but in fact, it is not.

There are many kinds of so-called Gu, and the Compendium of Materia Medica says: The person who makes the Gu catches a hundred insects and puts them in one vessel. The big ones of these hundred insects eat the small ones, and the last big insect that lives in the vessel is called Gu. It can be seen that Gu was originally a medicine specializing in treating poisonous sores. Later, they were used to harm others.

Some people may think that the real Gu worm is not as powerful as the legend, but Bragu told me that in fact, the real Gu technique and Gu worm are more than ten times more powerful than the rumor.

There are many kinds of Gu, and the types are even more indispensable, such as: Loach Gu, Stone Gu, Mad Gu, Love' Gu, Golden Silkworm Gu, Snake Gu, Zhen Gu, and various plant Gu.

The real Gu technique is actually used to save people, not to harm people, and using Gu masters can even control Gu worms to replace the five senses, which is also the reason why Bragu is blind and can survive alone in such a harsh valley for twenty years.

Gu has a long history, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a puppet witch Gu rebellion in Chang'an City, and there was also a Gu rebellion in the court of the Sui Dynasty, it is said that it is a girl named Xu Ani, who has the habit of worshipping cat ghosts, every night in the middle of the night, she secretly gets up, prepares offerings and burns incense to worship the cat ghost, (the child belongs to the mouse, the child worships the cat, implying that the mouse sacrifices the cat), the more she worships, the more spiritual, the cat ghost often moves other people's belongings to her.

Later Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty also had records of Gu chaos.

In this way, about three days and three nights passed, eating when I was hungry, sleeping when I was sleepy, and the rest of the time was spent reciting some Gu spells that I didn't understand.

For the past three days, the noise outside has not stopped, and the temperature has gradually risen, and by the next day, we have both taken off our clothes. Bragu has been blind for twenty years, and I don't feel shy.

It was then that I saw that Bragu was covered in scars, barely an inch of intact skin, and this wound was obviously not a knife wound, nor a scratch or a burn, but a small hole of different sizes, densely packed, like a sieve, which made people feel creepy to see.

I was embarrassed to ask him why, guessing that it might be caused by violating the clan rules and being bitten by 10,000 shares.

I asked many times what I was memorizing, but Bragu didn't explain, only urged me to memorize it as soon as possible.

Three days passed slowly, and I can't remember how many times I repeated this, and I was sleeping when I was woken up by Bragutui.

"Cloth ...... Master, do you still have to carry it? ”

Bragu shook his head.

"They're all gone, you can accompany me to see if the Soul Rejuvenation Grass has bloomed!"

I instantly refreshed myself and sat up sharply.

"Ahh Master, don't you say at least five or six days! That's ......"

"Normally, it takes at least five or six days, but I ignore the temperature!"

"Temperature?"

"That's right! The temperature is much higher than usual these days, which will speed up the blooming of flowers. ”

When you think about it, it makes sense, it's more likely!

"That...... That mating Gu worm left? ”

Blagu nodded: "It's over, everything is back to normal." ”

When the two of them walked out of the gap, I looked around, but I didn't see anything unusual, and when I looked closely, I found that the grass and leaves on the ground were full of holes the size of fingernails.

I was a little impatient, as if I had rushed over to the largest linden tree, but Bragu walked unhurriedly, and I had to follow him patiently.

But the road of three or four hundred meters, I felt that it was ten miles long, and I was so anxious that I scratched my ears and cheeks behind Bragu.

Finally came to the huge Bodhi tree, I first glanced at the nine red stone jade coffins, and then I saw a small colorful flower, like a colorful butterfly, which made people look refreshed.

"It's on! The flowers are blooming! ”

I jumped up in excitement and shouted as I pointed to the flowers.

"Got it! Got it! Bragu replied.

"That'...... What about the Gu worms you raised? ”

Ignoring me, Bragu walked to an open area on one side, took off the "horn" from his neck, and blew it on his back.

In less than a minute, a swarm of winged caterpillars flew slowly and landed on the flowers of the resurrection grass on the ground.

I was so frightened that I retreated.

"Master, this is the Gu worm you raised?"

Bragu didn't speak, but reached out to me for the dagger and slowly walked over to the flowers of the Soul Restoration Grass.

"Master, you ......"

As soon as I spoke, I saw Bragu wave his right hand and cut the palm of his left hand with a dagger, and he sprinkled the blood of his palm on the petals of the Soul Restoration Grass on the ground.

"Gu Blood! Gu Blood! If you want to cultivate the best Gu worms, you have to pay some of your own blood. He turned around and hooked his left hand at me, "To save your daughter-in-law, you kid also give some!" ”

I probably understood what he meant, ran over in a few steps, took the dagger, and followed his example, and with a wave of the dagger, there was a burst of pain in my palm, and a stream of blood came out of the palm of my left hand.

That's when I saw the appearance of the Gu worm clearly.

All Gu worms' bodies are white, and they are translucent white, they look like silkworms, slightly larger than bees, and their wings are somewhat similar to the flowers of the Soul Rejuvenation Grass, they are colorful, and they look very cute.

They lie on their stomachs on the petals, their vibrating wings making a "buzzing" sound, like bees.

I've never seen this bug before—this is the legendary Gu worm?

"What are you doing in a daze? Do you want to save your daughter-in-law? ”

I snapped back to my senses and quickly shouted, "Yes! Absolutely! ”

"Then go over and open that coffin!"

My heart was pounding, and I rushed over and circled around the last coffin. As soon as he thought of Wu Jinghan lying in this coffin, a sense of excitement mixed with tension and fear emerged from the bottom of his heart and was instantly transmitted to his internal organs.

"What's the fuss? Hurry up!"

Behind him came Bragu's urging.

I hurriedly grabbed the coffin lid with both hands, and with a sharp force, the coffin lid was pushed to the side, and I saw Wu Jinghan's face like white paper at first glance.

I wanted to reach out and pick her up, but I was worried that doing so would hurt her, both the excitement of waiting for her to wake up, and the faint worry.

Can people really be saved? I had a question mark in my heart.

"Hurry up and take off her clothes!"

"Ahh Why? ”

"Wearing clothes, how can my Gu worm child help her heal?"

"Oh!" I was stunned for a moment, I had done this thing several times, and I had a lot of fun doing it, but it felt strange to do it now.

When my hand accidentally touched Wu Jinghan's skin, I only felt a burst of coldness coming, which made my heart tremble and make me even more worried.

"Flash aside!"

Another urge from Bragu, and I reacted and jumped aside.

The white flowers and fluffy Gu worms "buzzed" and flew up slowly, and Bragu covered his hands together, put them to his mouth and blew them, and suddenly there was a "woo-woo-lur" sound, just like the way he called to the snake when we first met Bragu.

As if receiving some kind of signal, the Gu worm slowly flew up and landed in the coffin where Wu Jinghan was placed.

My curiosity sparked, and I took two steps towards the red coffin, and I saw that all the Gu worms crawled onto Wu Jinghan's body like butterflies, waving their wings, as if they were wearing a shiny colored dress.

I just watched like this, and after about four or five minutes, the color of all the Gu worms' wings gradually turned gray and finally black.

I was stunned by this magical scene!

"Cloth ...... Master, what the hell is going on? ”

I couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is the stage of Gu worm growth."

I scratched my head: "What do you mean?" Still don't understand! ”

"All Gu worms contain highly poisonous, this poison is not innate, and in the process of their growth, they have to constantly smoke all kinds of poisons." Bragu paused for a moment and asked me rhetorically, "Did you see the color of the Gu worm change?" ”

I nodded: "The colored wings have turned gray, and some are black......"

"This is because they absorb the poison from your daughter-in-law's body, so the wings will change color, and you can carefully observe your daughter-in-law!"

Well? Observe my daughter-in-law? I didn't react at the first time.

Bragu then explained: "Do you see any changes in her skin? ”

I swept it again, first I saw that Wu Jinghan's originally pale face was more ruddy than just now, and then I looked at my body, and I could faintly see a faint color of blood, and a wave of ecstasy poured out from the depths of my heart, and my brain seemed to be struck by lightning.

She ...... Will she come back to life? ”

I stammered.

"Phew!" Behind me, Bragu scolded me angrily, "What is this, she didn't die in the first place!" ”

"That's right! Right! I grinned and slapped myself hard, "Look at my mouth!" Running a train with a mouth! ”

The Gu worm with its wings turning black slowly flew out and landed on the branch on one side, and after flapping its wings a few times, the black wings were broken, and the Gu worm, which was originally very good-looking, instantly turned into a silkworm.

The wings of the other butterflies in the coffin gradually turned black, and then slowly flew out and landed on one branch, where they also broke their wings and turned into silkworms.
