Chapter 332: "Briquette" reappears

"The real Gu King?"

I subconsciously touched my stomach, isn't the natal Gu the king of ten thousand Gus!

"That's right! Our village will try a new Gu cultivation method every three years, the purpose is to cultivate a real Gu King? ”

I gasped: "This...... This, what is the real Gu King? ”

Ula thought for a few more seconds and shook his head embarrassedly: "When I was a child, I heard the old people in the village say that the ancestors of our Miao people were half-human and half-beast bodies, and at that time, ...... At that time, the Miao people called the tribal leader Gu King. ”

Half-human, half-beast?

This is similar to the legend of Nuwa, who is also known as the ancestor of mankind.

"In that stele or the legend in your village, does it mention the final ending of the Gu King?"

Ula shook his head: "I didn't say this, but the people of several Miao villages in the vicinity will go to the Gu King Temple every year to worship the Gu King......

"Gu King Temple?"

"That's right! Didn't you just come out of the Gu King Temple? ”

I was a little confused, and hurriedly waved my hand: "Wait first, I'll ...... When did we go to the Gu King Temple? ”

"That's where you rested that night! In the middle of the night, the people guarding the mountain in the village saw that the Gu lamp in the Gu King Temple was lit, so they informed my mother, and my mother sent me to meet the master, who was ...... At that time, I blew out the Gu lamp! ”

It dawned on me that the strange building we had rested in before was called the Gu King Temple, and the Gu King Temple was dedicated to the Gu King - but why was there an almost similar Gu King Temple outside Niutou Village in Zhanhua County?

I thought of the strange stone statues I saw in the Gu King Temple that night, and they were indeed the same as Ulla said, except for the men and women in the middle, the two rows were half-human, half-beast statues.

"Isn't it that those two rows are Gu Kings!" Thinking of this, I asked casually.

Ulla shook her head: "How so! Those are the Gu King's guards, and the two in the middle are the Gu King and the Gu Mother. ”

"Ahh But the man and woman in the middle are the same as normal people! ”

Ulla shook her head lightly again: "This...... I don't know about this! ”

"Every year on Laba Day, people from several villages will gather in front of the Guwang Temple to hold a three-day sacrificial activity."

I thought it was interesting and curious: "How to worship?" Do you also put on tribute, burn incense and paper! ”

Ula looked at me with a puzzled look for three seconds: "I don't understand what the master means!" ”

I quickly explained: "I'm talking about the ritual practice in our place, which is generally to put on a few plates of fruit, cooked chicken, cooked meat, and then burn incense and paper. ”

"We're all living creatures!"

"Living creatures? What...... What living creatures? "I was shocked, and my sixth sense told me that things should be different than I thought they would be.

"Every year before the sacrifice, several people in the village will hold a week-long hunting activity to bleed the captured beasts, and we only need this blood when we sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice with blood?"

"That's right! Maybe you haven't noticed, in front of the statue of the Gu King in the Gu King Temple, there is a small hole in the ground, and every time we sacrifice, we will pour the blood of all the beasts into the small hole. ”

I really didn't pay attention to this, it was night, and besides, there was always a very evil feeling in the Gu King Temple, and a few people didn't look at it carefully.

"According to what you say, a few stockades should catch a lot of animals in a week, right?"

"That's it! We can catch at least a few dozen of them every time! ”

I gasped: "The blood released by dozens of animals is a lot, plus a few other villages, so much blood, not a large piece!" The hole is not full? ”

Ula looked left and right to make sure that there was no one on either side, so he lowered his voice: "You don't know! It is said that the hole goes straight to the mouth of the underground god monarch, not to mention the blood of dozens or hundreds of beasts, even if the blood of all the Miao people is poured into it, it will not be full! ”

Underground God? What the hell is this!

I knew that this was 100% a rumor, but I still couldn't help but tremble after hearing it.

After eating, it was twilight.

When Ulla and I arrived at the square, we found that there were only a few dozen villagers at the scene.

"What about the others?"

I asked Ulla casually. Odd books

Ulla was visibly stumbling: "This ...... This one might go home! Go home and drink some water......"

This is obviously perfunctory, in fact, what people do when they go home has nothing to do with me, I just wonder why Ulla lied!

There is only a thin old man in the middle of the square, although he looks thin, he looks like he is in his old age, but he is in good spirits, especially his eyes, it can be said that his eyes are very bright.

Actually, I guessed where my mother went, maybe when she "transformed", she didn't want outsiders to see it!

The men continued to put fresh branches and leaves into the big dustpan, and I could hear that the living creatures in the big dustpan were chewing almost incessantly, making a "prick, stinging, stinging" sound, which made my back itch for a while.

When I had nothing to do, I chatted with Hao Minyuan. I could feel that at this time, his nerves jumped to the extreme, and he was also languishing.

After a while, the people gradually gathered together, and it was now completely dark.

I found a very strange thing, at this time, the people around the village were not exactly the same as those surrounding during the day, as if some people had changed.

Ah Mu also walked slowlyβ€”it should be said that Xiaowa walked slowly.

At this time, she was wearing a red dress, and her fair face against the backdrop, coupled with her bright eyes and bright teeth, all stunned me!

The nest smiled at me, and then walked straight to the thin old man.

This made me a little confused.

According to my previous analysis, Ah Mu and Xiao Wa do not have the same memory of each other, but at this time, Xiao Wa is also the same as Ah Mu, in the middle of the square, obviously presiding over the entire Gu cultivation activity.

This shows that he has the memory of the day in his head!

Xiaowa muttered a few words to the thin old man, clapped her hands, and then gestured behind her.

From behind her, a few men soon ran up.

According to Xiaowa's command, the two of them lifted a dustpan, and then poured the contents into another dustpan, at this time, with extraordinary eyesight, I could see clearly, and there were indeed some colorful insects in the dustpan.

I remember!

When Bulago introduced the Miao people to cultivate Gu worms, he said:

They will put all kinds of Gu worms together and let them "kill each other", and the last winning Gu worm will fight for the second round again, whether it is toxicity or physical strength, and the last ones are the best.

Often, cultivating a batch of Gu worms will sacrifice ten times or even dozens of times the number of Gu worms

It actually sounded quite interesting at the time, but seeing it with my own eyes at this time, I really thought it was quite shocking!

After the two dustworms merged into one, there was a sudden sound of "whirring", which should be the two sides fighting.

After waiting for about an hour, Xiaowa glanced at each dustpan, and then made a gesture to several men, who lifted one more and poured the contents into the other.

Then another hour passed.

In this process, his eyes were hardly idle, and he glanced around at the villagers, as if the villagers with red bats on their shoulders did not come during the day, and of course it could be that they came without red bats.

In addition, Hao Minyuan and Zhou Zhou Nuo were not found again, which made me question myself and Hao Minyuan again, maybe the two of them were too nervous and dazzled.

Xiao Wa commanded a few men, and after three or four hours of tossing, in the end, there were only three big dustpans left in the middle of the square.

I thought that Xiaowa would continue to let a few men repeat the previous actions, but I didn't expect her to have someone carry an oversized dustpan to the middle of the square, and then let a few men pour all the Gu worms in the three small dustpans into the big dustpan.

And that's not all.

He turned to look at me, "Please bring the scepter!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and quickly trotted over and handed it over with both hands.

Xiaowa still bowed deeply to me and took it with both hands.

She glanced at the crutches, then grabbed the head of the crutches with one hand, twisted it hard, the head of the crutches was actually taken off, Xiaowa gently put the head of the crutches to the side, and pulled out a jet-black stick from the remaining crutches, slightly thicker than the thumb of an adult man, looking at the non-gold and non-stone, and exuding a strange fragrance.

The moment I smelled this fragrance, I shuddered and couldn't help but shout.

This smell is all too familiar to me, it is the smell of the black "briquettes" in the box that I fished in the Yellow River.

It's this thing that brought me into this series of strange things.

This substance should contain strong radiation, and there was not much information left before - this thing is dangerous, and it should be an unexpected masterpiece of an ancient warlock during his alchemy.

The question is, how could this substance appear in the 100,000 mountains of Zhangjiajie and be hidden in the scepter that symbolizes the supreme power?
