Chapter 331: Cultivating Gu Tricks
I saw the silhouette in the window of the stilted building just now, very similar to Zhou Zhounuo, but I also knew that this was a hidden valley in the 100,000 mountains of Zhangjiajie, and it was tens of thousands of miles away from the estuary area of Shandong, so it was impossible to see her here.
But listening to Hao Minyuan say this, the doubts that I had just been suppressed for a short time resurfaced again.
"Brother Minyuan, do you see clearly? Over here...... It's a 100,000-strong mountain!! ”
Hao Minyuan shook his head and said, "I also think it's incredible, so I'm not so sure - but it's too similar!" ”
"You didn't go there to see it at the time?" I mean, if you look carefully, it's better to say a few words to her face, if it's her, you know.
Hao Minyuan shook his head: "When I passed, she had already walked into the stilted building, after all, it was Miao Village, I didn't understand many of their customs and taboos, I was afraid of causing trouble, so I didn't follow in." ”
The two communicated again, and the more I talked about it, the more I felt trembling in my heart, it was more tortuous and bizarre than the TV series.
In the end, the two of them agreed that they would focus on safety in the past few days, and they would have to take them away as soon as they had the opportunity.
The next day, I slept until three o'clock in the morning, and my head still felt a little dizzy.
Walking down the street, it seems that the whole village is busy.
Many villagers brought some fresh branches and leaves from the mountains and forests outside the village, piled up in the square where the bonfire party was held that night, and some people carried dozens of large dustpans to the square.
I didn't see Ula or my mother all morning, and I wanted to ask the others what the people in the village were doing, but no matter who I asked, everyone just bowed and kowtowed to me very respectfully, but didn't say a word.
The more this happens, the more strange it seems to me.
After lunch, I finally met my mother, who was panting in a red robe and wearing makeup, which looked weird.
Behind her, almost the entire young women of the village wore heavy or light makeup, and they all wore bright red cheongsam-like clothes.
When I saw my mother, I always had a strange feeling, although there was a thin old lady standing in front of me, with a face like orange peel, but when I thought that after dark, she would transform into a girl with a very good figure and appearance, and at the same time, I couldn't help but pound my heart when I thought about the events of that night.
"What are you doing?"
I stubbornly walked up to my mother and asked softly.
"The second event of the wedding month, Raising Gu!" My mother looked me up and down, "Where's the master's scepter?" ”
Sceptre? I was stunned for a few seconds before I realized that the black cane she had given me when she first met seemed to say that it was a symbol of the highest power in the stockade.
Probably like Jin Yong's martial arts, the green staff of Shaolin Temple and the dog beating stick of the beggars.
That thing is not gold or stone, it is strange and heavy in my hand, when Han Jianli took me to the cave to hunt for treasure the night before, I didn't take it again, it should be put under the bed in the red house, at that time, Ah Mu - it should be said that Xiaowa has seen it, this is not knowingly asking!
I didn't feel the need to answer, so I smiled and spread my hands.
Mother asked again: "Master, where is the scepter?" ”
Seeing her serious face, I was sure she wasn't joking with me: "It's in the Red House, what- need to bring it?" ”
"Yes! The Gu cultivator couldn't do without the scepter, and asked the master to take it with him. ”
"Okay—I'll go get it!"
said this on his lips, but cursed two sentences in his heart.
What a scepter is not a scepter! I'm a strong young man, and I'm not lame, and I take this thing all day long, what's the matter!
It also struck me as weird.
At that time, before I undressed, I put the crutches under the bed, she was there at the time, and she was still smiling, why can't she remember? Could it be that Amen during the day and Xiaowa at night have different memories?
When I returned to the square with my cane, there were already hundreds of people gathered here, and my mother was standing in the middle with a thin old man, who was probably talking to my mother when I was in a semi-coma.
When she saw me coming, my mother raised her hands above her head and knelt on the ground, followed by the old man on the side also knelt on the ground, and then everyone knelt on the ground facing me.
Except for me, there were only three people standing in the entire square, one was Hao Minyuan, and the other two were the two treasure hunters who came to the insect dish Miao Village with Han Jianjian.
Hao Minyuan's face was pale, I don't know if it was my psychological effect, I felt that he had lost a lot of weight at this time.
The two guys looked like they were smiling, and they didn't seem to be affected by Han Jianjian's death.
This makes it even more suspicious.
After all, it's not the first time I've been kneeled, and I can be regarded as having experience in dealing with it, and I followed their example, raising my cane with both hands, and everyone stood up in unison as if they had received an order.
The two girls led me to the middle of my mother and the thin old man, and then I noticed that there were more than a dozen large dustpans evenly distributed throughout the square, and the sound of rustling came from each of them.
When I got closer, I heard the sound of my scalp tingling for a while—it looked like a silkworm baby in a silkworm house gnawing on mulberry leaves.
Is there a living creature under the white cloth?
When I think of the Miao people using centipedes, scorpions, spiders, etc. to cultivate Gu worms, I feel a burst of hair in my heart.
Next, a dozen or so women danced in the square, twisting their hips, or shaking their whole bodies, looking very strange—not so much dancing as dancing gods.
I didn't have the heart to watch them jump, my attention was all around, I wanted to find out if there was anyone in the crowd who looked exactly like Zhou Yinuo, of course, with the mentality of trying.
After looking around, I didn't find Zhou Zhounuo, but I saw a strange thing.
On the shoulders of many onlookers, there was a large red bat, and all the red bats were just lying quietly, as if they were also watching the women dancing in the middle of the square.
It made my scalp tingle.
Could it be that the people in the insect dish Miao Village keep the bats as pets? What the is this fetish!
As far as I know, in addition to dogs and cats as pets, some people keep monkeys, some people keep crocodiles, and some people keep pigs or hedgehogs as pets, which is barely acceptable, but raising bats - the key is that bats are too special, how to raise them?
I took a deep breath full of doubt, and when I glanced at it, I suddenly saw a very familiar face in the crowd.
The moment I saw this face, my brain suddenly went blank, and it took at least five seconds before I came to my senses, my thoughts were already chaotic, and my whole brain seemed to be disobedient, repeating the three words "impossible" over and over again.
I actually saw Yao Liguo in the crowd!
It's impossible! How could it be Yao Liguo?
Yao Liguo can't appear here!
When I looked again, Yao Liguo was gone.
This surprise is not small!
First Zhou Yinuo, then Yao Liguo - but they shouldn't be in this village! Could it be someone who looks exactly like them? There can't be such a coincidence, right?
"Master, the time has come, you should start cultivating Gu!"
My mother's hoarse voice pulled me back to reality.
"Oh—what do you need me to do?"
"I don't need anything for the time being, just watch the master."
After saying that, they waved their hands, and the women hurriedly dispersed around, and only us were left in the square.
The grandmother waved her hand again, and the men, who had been standing around, walked to the middle of the square, holding fresh branches and leaves in their hands, and at the same time several women came up, and every time the women lifted a piece of white cloth, the men put the fresh branches and leaves they were holding into the dustpan.
Seeing this scene, I was even more sure that it was a living thing.
After that, every half hour or so, a man with fresh branches and leaves would walk to the middle of the square and put the branches and leaves into the dustpan, and I stood more than ten meters away from the dustpan, and I could clearly hear the faster-paced chewing sound coming from inside.
Everyone just watched, and before they knew it, it was evening.
Amen asked Ullah to take the people to dinner.
In the past few days, when everyone eats, they are gathered in a hall, which is also in line with the life characteristics of the matriarchal clan in the primitive society, at first I thought it was quite fresh and fun, but after eating a few meals, I felt a little awkward and inconvenient.
After all, people have different appetites, some people have heavy tastes, some people have light tastes, and always eating a big pot of rice together is definitely a sin for some people.
During the meal, on the way, I secretly asked Ula what the relationship between the wedding month and Gu Yu was, Ula thought for a while, and then replied: "It seems that this is also the ancestral training left on the stone tablet, and this is done to cultivate a real Gu King." ”
