Chapter Seventy-Six: Gu Refining
Sure that Liu Mei was asleep, I secretly took out my phone and ran outside the balcony to make a call. After dialing several calls in a row, Zhang Qiang answered impatiently, "Brother, are you addicted to calling me, are you annoyed in the middle of the night?" ”
I greeted his ancestors directly.
Zhang Qiang was also angry, "Are you sick, Ganlin Niang, looking for stimulation in the middle of the night, aren't you?" Is there anything you can't say well? ”
Afraid of waking Liu Mei up, I suppressed my voice and yelled, "You have killed people, scolding you is light, what did you ask me from Thailand!" ”
Listening to the whole thing, Zhang Qiang was also surprised, but his tone did not fluctuate much, "Anla, people die every day in this world, as long as death does not come to you, is it necessary to care so much, don't you hate that female customer?" ”
I said one yard to one yard, even if I hate Fangfang, but I never thought of her death? What's more, Fangfang is not the only victim, Cheng Yu is also innocent, he has killed someone now, he will definitely be sentenced by the police, why did you kill two people for a business, don't you feel sorry for this kind of money?
Zhang Qiang sneered and said, "Little brother, I have long persuaded you, you must be ruthless in this business, your mother's mentality is not like a person who has achieved great things at all, why did Fangfang die, I think you also know that a woman with a character like her is destined not to be happy in life, but she forcibly uses the power of the baby to overdraw her luck, which is equivalent to enjoying what she shouldn't have, borrowing and repaying, the reason is as simple as that." ”
Listening to what he said lightly, I couldn't help but be angry, "You said it lightly, okay, even if Fangfang is to blame, what about Cheng Yu, who was originally good, but now we have become a murderer, how do you explain this?" ”
Zhang Qiang said coldly, "I don't need to explain at all, for the sake of how many times we have cooperated, I kindly remind you that everyone has their own fate, and everyone's situation is different, even if Cheng Yu doesn't have this catastrophe today, sooner or later he will go in because of something else, this is his fate!" ”
Then he said coldly, "To be honest, you disappointed me a little, it seems that the two of us are not people on the same road, the cooperative relationship can only be temporarily suspended, you calm down, when can you figure it out and contact me again, but next time you contact me again, it's best not to use this attitude!" ”
After saying that, he put the phone away, and I stood on the balcony of Liu Mei's house in a daze, and it took me a long time to wake up and put the phone back in my pocket.
My mind is very confused, maybe Zhang Qiang is right, I really shouldn't be angry with him.
The fate of people is very strange, what you plant is what you get, maybe you accidentally step on an ant while walking one day, you are destined to suffer a car accident the next day, this invisible and untouchable theory, there is no way to explain in detail.
This incident made me secretly blame myself for several days, I couldn't do anything to lift my spirits, and I didn't even go to Zhang Mazi's house.
During this time, while running an ornamental fish shop, I was holding the "Spirit Gu Burial Sutra" left by my grandfather to study, and it took me several days to adjust my emotions and start cultivating Gu worms.
Zhang Mazi couldn't help with Gu refining, so I could only figure it out by myself. I'm still in the exploration stage, and I can't cultivate powerful Gu worms, so I can only start with the most basic medicinal Gu, run a fish shop in the morning, close the door in the afternoon and go back to my hometown, and buy a lot of mugwort to hang on the gate of the old house.
Mugwort is a kind of food and a kind of Chinese medicinal material, but people in Hunan and Guizhou regard it as an herbaceous plant that repells insects and wards off evil spirits.
Every Qingming Festival, every household will buy or pick, get some fresh green mugwort, hang it on the door, on the house, and on the wall, to repel mosquitoes and insects, and ward off evil things. I learned from the "Spirit Gu Burial Sutra" that there is a thing in dried mugwort, called isovaleric lime oxide, also known as rice vegetarian medicine, and there is only one thing in the world that I like.
It's a scorpion.
I bought twelve scorpions from a professional scorpion farmer in the next town, raised them with mugwort, returned to my hometown's backyard and moved out a large wattle, and threw the scorpions that had been fed mugwort into it one by one - each scorpion was carefully selected by me, and it was fat and thick, and the tail needle was surprisingly sharp, and even I did not dare to catch it with my hand, so I could only pick it with chopsticks.
According to the steps of raising Gu, the scorpion was raised by me in Waon, and every three days it must be fed with sweet rice wine, and it must be worshiped day and night, with three pillars of incense in the morning and three pillars of incense at night, day after day, with mantras and prayers.
After seven days, I took a piece of moldy blood tofu and threw it into the urn, recited the sutra and offered sacrifices, and then spent the night in silence. The scorpion ate the blood tofu and changed his personality greatly, and scrambled to be anxious and tossing around in the waon, and I kept the waon all night, and the next day I put in the dried mugwort and lit it, and after smoking it, I completely sealed the lid and did not feed it again.
The scorpions have lost their food, and they will spend two days in vaon, and then on the third day they will fight each other, and the twelve scorpions will see each other as food, and will do everything they can to kill each other, and they will eat the flesh and suck the marrow, and after seven days I will open the vaon again, and if there is only one living creature left, it will be done.
The surviving scorpions must be dried in the sun, carefully ground into powder, stirred with the bones of the dead and corpse oil, refined into Gu powder, and then fermented for seven days, and then used for people when the Gu powder is dry, it takes more than 20 days to complete the whole step, one more day is not enough, and one less day is not good.
It's just the most basic medicine Gu, but the cultivation method is so complicated, you can imagine how difficult it is to become a Gu cultivation master. Fortunately, I practiced this thing just out of curiosity, not decided to really become a Gu master, refining Gu powder was also for emergencies.
Scorpion Gu is not widely used, it is recorded in the "Spirit Gu Burial Sutra" that those who are in the Gu will have diarrhea at first, with a fishy mouth, hot forehead, and red face, and the limbs and internal organs of the heavy ones are churning, and the five intestines are churning, and the pain is unbearable, and they will definitely die within thirty days.
This kind of Gu belongs to the branch of Yin Gu, it is very vicious, because of its strong toxicity, it is called "life is not more than thirty", although it is simple, but the effect is domineering, and it is best to harm people.
Witch Gu culture is prevalent in Miaojiang, almost every Miao village has Gu cultivators, and the methods of cultivating Gu worms are also strange, but most of them cannot be completely inherited, only the scorpion Gu is relatively simple because of the refining method, so the popularity rate is very high, if the scorpion Gu can be successfully refined, I can barely be regarded as a Gu cultivator.
The process of refining Gu powder is relatively long, I am not in a hurry, while returning to the store to do business, patiently waiting for the day when the scorpion Gu refining is successful, the days have returned to normal, occasionally ask Liu Mei to come out to watch a movie, accompany her to relax and come out of the shadows, and I will also go to Zhang Mazi's side to learn mantras when I have time.
The little ghost of Zhang Mazi's family also gradually became intimate with me, every time he appeared at night, he kept screaming at my brother's eldest brother and brother, so cute, where he looked like a ghost, he was clearly a sticky follower.
Half a month passed in a flash, seeing that the Gu refining was about to be completed, I was grinding the only remaining scorpion, and on the way, the mobile phone rang, and the phone was called by Brother Yong, who said that he had just come back from the field and wanted to invite me to a light meal.
