Chapter 13: The Secret of Gu Magic
The whole room was filled with 'Chihiro', Guan Ruyue also didn't dare to enter, after the tentative fight just now, she knew that it was difficult to be good today. I saw her pressing her lower abdomen with one hand, and a toad sounded in her stomach, and dense snakes, insects, rats and ants crawled out of the grass in the corner of the wall around the Wen family's ancestral house, swarming towards this side.
But he didn't dare to cross the threshold for half a step, and a worm slope was stacked at the door of the room, wriggling and rolling, and he looked so disgusted that he had goosebumps.
A small emerald green snake slipped from the beam of the house, coiled into a lump at Wen's mother's feet, raised its head and spit out letters, hissing at the insect swarm at the door, its eyes were like two restrained rubies, this is the natal Gu refined by Wen's mother, and it has been hidden in the corner of the ancestral house.
With the two of them as the center, a poisonous mist of two different colors of yellow and black rose up, intersecting and entangled by the door, and the pile of ordinary poisonous insects recruited by Guan Ruyue began to collapse and die in large numbers.
During the stalemate, there was a buzzing sound of wings in the direction of the master bedroom, a group of wasps rushed out of the window, Guan Ruyue's face was gloomy, she turned her head and fled, and when she left, she took out the gold pocket watch from her pocket, put it in the palm of her hand and shook it with a smile: "Anyway, the things are in hand, take them back and we can study them ourselves." Oh, by the way, your precious son has been hit by my human urn Gu, today is the second day of the middle Gu, and the Gu worms should have almost multiplied in large numbers, hahaha, I'll see how you solve it. ”
Human urn Gu, also known as Heart Devouring Gu, selects a newborn baby in the yin year, feeds the eggs, and fosters and hatches with the body of the live baby as a container, and the day the Gu is formed, it is the time when the child dies.
Refining this kind of Gu is not only time-consuming and laborious, but the focus is too much to destroy human nature, and it has long been listed as one of the forbidden Gus. The way of going down the Gu is very special, that is, it must have intercourse, the Gu worm conducts into the opponent's body through the lower body, and once the worm body attached to the heart awakens, it will begin to multiply wildly and eat the atrium.
The middle Gu person will die after suffering in intense pain for a few days, which is basically an incurable Gu poison, unless it ......
"Looking for death...... If something happens to Wen Qi, I will swear to slaughter your whole family......" Mother Wen was completely panicked when she heard the human urn Gu, and she didn't care about anything else, so she quickly came to Wen Qi's side, and saw that his face was blue and black, and she was completely unconscious, she tore off his shirt and took a closer look, dense black spots faintly appeared under the skin on Wen Qi's chest, and she was immediately relieved, the eggs were not broken, and it was still too late. Hurriedly took out a small glass bottle from his cuff, poured a few pills and slapped them into Wen Qi's mouth.
……
It was late at night when Wen Qi woke up, and he found himself lying on the bed, weak, with a bandage on his chest, and a sharp pain in his heart and mouth behind his back.
"Wake up, don't move, the poison on your body has just been resolved." There was no light in the room, the curtains were drawn tightly, and it was pitch black, and the familiar voice of the mother came from the bedside, sounding unusually weak.
"Mom, why don't you turn on the lights and turn off the moon when the room is so dark?" Wen Qi tilted his head with difficulty, and asked in a hoarse voice.
Mother Wen held a bowl of green and oily ointment decoction in her hand, helped Wen Qi and said, "Drink the medicine first, and then I'll tell you slowly." ”
"Something, it smells so fishy, can you not drink it?" Wen Qi swallowed his saliva, tried to raise his head back, and continued: "Mom, what is your identity? ”
"She's gone, let's drink the medicine first, listen to me slowly." Without waiting for Wen Qi to resist, his mother directly pinched his jaw and gave the medicine to him.
Not to mention the strong fishy smell, this bowl of medicine was so bitter that it made Wen Qi's whole face wrinkled. Out of trust in his mother, Wen Qi swallowed the last bit of his mouth and couldn't help retching a few times.
A hot current rose from the dantian and slowly spread all over the limbs, and the pain in the back of the heart disappeared after a while, except for the whole body was still weak and weak, there was no other discomfort.
"The toxins and impurities in your body will be excreted one after another in the past few days, and other benefits will be slowly realized by yourself. Next, I'll tell you about Miao Jianggu, these are all secrets, and you must not talk nonsense to the outside world in the future. ”
Wen Qi snorted softly.
"At present, Gu art is mainly divided into three major Miao tribes, black, green, and flower, all over the four provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, and Chongqing, your mother and I belong to the flower and Miao line of Y Province, it sounds quite powerful, but in fact, the number of people will not exceed 100 people. And in addition to the black seedlings, the green seedlings and flower seedlings Gu technique has been passed down from women to men since ancient times, probably because women are more likely to plant natal Gu, so the number is more scarce. ”
"The origin of Gu art can be traced back to the ancient mythological period, the leader of the Jiuli tribe, Chi You, led his troops to conquer with the Yellow Emperor, and after the defeat, the Jiuli tribe evolved into three seedlings, which has nothing to do with the contemporary "Miao people", but the common name of the southern ethnic minorities of the Song people in later generations. ”
"But the art of refining Gu has been handed down, and it has been used by the three Miao people in the world to this day, Gu worms and poison are the same, except for the natal Gu that can only be obtained under special harsh conditions, in fact, he is breeding poisonous insects, using poisonous corpses, saliva or feces, insect eggs, etc., after letting others take it, it will make people fatal or manipulated, and of course it can also cure diseases and heal injuries."
Wen Qi interrupted suspiciously: "There should also be a difference between the three seedlings, right?" Natal Gu is the best and most poisonous insect to raise? ”
The mother smiled and replied: "Indeed, Hei Miao uses poison, Qing Miao practices medicine, and Hua Miao is good at using Gu to control people, if you go to Miao Jiang in the future, don't offend the Black Miao people." As for the natal Gu, it is a bit complicated to explain, to put it simply, it is to collect the poisonous insects of the previous year, put them in a special vessel, feed their own blood and spells every day, let the poisons fight and devour each other, until the last one, take it out and feed it with the blood of the heart, and refine it until it is connected with the Gu master's heart, which is the natal Gu. The refining time ranges from 10~20 years, and the probability of success is not one in 100, so the number of people with Destiny Gu in each clan will not exceed the number of ten fingers. ”
"But what's the use of spending so much time and energy refining Natal Gu?"
"Miao Jiang has a lot of poisonous insect miasma, and the life Gu can not only resist a hundred poisons, but also deter a group of insects, and each life Gu needs its different strangeness."
"Mom, do you have a natal Gu?"
Mother Wen was silent, tonight she killed 'Qing Xuan', that is, the green snake, with her own hands, and prepared medicine to help her son clear the Heart Devouring Gu.
"Mom...... Mother...... Why don't you speak, turn on the lights first, it's too dark. "If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move, Wen Qi would have wanted to turn on the lights a long time ago, and he would still be so mysterious in his own house.
Mother Wen did not meet Wen Qi's request to turn on the lights, but said in a low voice: "Son, my mother will leave early tomorrow morning to return to her hometown in Y Province, and you need to ask your grandmother to come forward for the affairs of the Black Miao Clan, and I will come back when the matter is dealt with." That witch gave you a heart-devouring Gu and stole an old golden pocket watch, I don't care what the Wen family's secret is, but you have to remember that from now on, be more careful when you encounter people in trouble, and don't trust anyone at will. ”
Guan Ruyue stole the pocket watch? Heh~ No wonder I was at home during the day under the pretext of taking a shower and helping me untie my pocket watch.
"Rest, didn't you say you have to go for a physical examination tomorrow, you can return to normal when the effect of the medicine is dissipated tonight." His mother patted him on the shoulder and helped him lie down slowly.
"Mom, your identity is so special, how did you get with your father? There is no objection from the family? ”
Hearing her son ask about this, my mother couldn't help but recall: "This starts with the Wen family's secret technique, the first stage of 'burning blood' is the swirling pulse, but before the age of 3, you have to soak the body in medicinal food three times a day, which is called opening the pulse, this medicine is a finished product handed down from your ancestors, and there is no formula." By your generation, there was not much left, and then your grandfather didn't know where he heard that the essence blood of the Natal Gu was also okay, and then he asked your father to visit the Miao tribe everywhere, and in exchange, he gave the 'burning blood' to the Hua Miao patriarch. More than ten years ago, a traitor appeared in the village and revealed the secret to the other two tribes, and since then the Wen family and the Hua Miao tribe have never been at peace. ”
"Then it won't be okay if you announce the secret art." If it was just for 'burning blood', Wen Qi was really willing to exchange for the same price. The mother teased and said, "Is the Wen family only burning blood?" Where did the wounds on your body come from? When do you want to hide from your mother? ”
"The Wen family is actually ......"
"Shh~ Don't say it, it's not too late to tell me when I come back."
……
Mother Wen softly closed the door and walked into the courtyard, by the moonlight, her face was as pale as tin foil, there were blood stains on the corners of her mouth, her hair was half-white in the middle of the night, and her internal organs were exhausted, this was the price of losing her natal Gu, and her lifespan was greatly reduced.
She didn't want to turn on the light so that her son could see her now, so she simply packed some clothes, and Wen's mother left quietly overnight.
The sky was slightly bright, Wen Qi's state recovered, but he didn't find his mother when he got up, and the phone showed no service, and he couldn't help but feel flustered and uneasy in his heart.
He didn't contact Guan Ruyue, but directly dialed Guan Ruxing's number, but the other party even canceled the number.
Putting down the phone, Wen Qi's face was gloomy.
