Zhang Yan stepped on a canopy boat, half-squatted on the bow of the boat, grabbed a handful of wheat-colored mother-in-law cakes from the cloth bag hanging on the side of the boat, and bit half of it into his mouth.

In the past, the water of the Yangtze River would become extremely turbid whenever it flowed through this section.

And because the water gushing out of the ground is yellow when the well is drilled to the depths, and the people are buried in the ground after death, the folk often believe that the yellow water leads to yin and yang, which can feed people and can also extradite ghosts to the underground place of death.

The Tujia man who supported the boat didn't understand why Zhang Yan was so cheap food, but he couldn't talk to him, so he could only look at the fish fighting for food on the surface of the water and pecked the dim sum little by little.

According to the Tujia man who supported the boat, this river is green all the year round, and it will turn yellow unless it rains.

Zhang Yan just responded perfunctorily, looked in the direction of Miao Ling from a distance, and ordered the boat to dock.

The Tujia man naturally had nothing to say, this withered and unpleasant-looking guest stayed at his house for two nights, so he chose this time to let himself send him here, the sun set, and the night was late.

The Tujia man did not complain about the unreasonable demands of the guests, but it was very strange that the guests seemed more familiar with this waterway than themselves.

When he got off the boat, Zhang Yan only took away his belongings, and the Tujia man who supported the boat kindly reminded Zhang Yan that something had fallen, and Zhang Yan didn't stop.

The Tujia man had no choice but to give up, and the cloth bag was filled with the things that the guests bought when they passed by the ancient riverside town, pastries and snacks, and bought a lot, but the guests didn't know what to do, and they only saw half a piece of dim sum along the way. Most of the rest is in the belly of the fish.

The grain was very expensive, and he didn't pay attention to it, so the Tujia man looked at the sky, turned the bow of the boat, and went back at this time, and he could rush home at dawn.

Zhang Yan didn't go far, he just spent some time folding seven palm-sized paper boats with yellow paper, people need boats to cross the river, and so do ghosts.

Biting his fingers, Zhang Yan cautiously wanted to use blood stains to write a word "Underworld" on the bottom of the paper boat, but the withered knuckles could no longer squeeze out enough blood.

Zhang Yan knew that his body would continue to wither, and one day, he would be shaped like dead wood, and he would no longer be able to eat the food of this world.

When the only paper boat was placed on the surface of the river, the shadow of the moon reflected in the river water became mottled, and from the bottom of the boat, an ink-like flush began to spread.

The Tujia man, who had not gone too far to support the boat, pulled a piece of clothing from the cabin and put it on, it was very laborious to support the boat, covered with sweat, and the blood vessels were burning, but the spine was like a piece of ice.

When he turned around, the Tujia man's legs were a little weak, and behind him was full of green ghost fires, wandering aimlessly like Kong Ming lanterns......

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Miao Ling, once represented Guizhou, a 200-kilometer-long mountain range in western Hunan, hides almost all the mysteries of Xiangxi.

Every summer solstice, the climate and rain have reached the best state of insect survival, at this time, for the girls of Gu Village, it is the most solemn and solemn and sacred season.

The girls of Luojia Gu Village, in the early summer of the year when they reach the age of twelve, they can come out to find insect larvae suitable for themselves as the Gu species of their natal Gu, and if they marry after the age of eighteen, they may no longer have the opportunity to have a natal Gu in this life.

Why is it twelve, according to legend, it is a mysterious tribe that originated from the ancient Snow Ridge Mountains.

There are many kinds of Gu in the world, and the girls in Luojia Gu Village will never raise poisonous Gu, and they even hate the vicious way of raising poisonous insects in closed containers to devour each other.

The Gu girl of the Luo family's Gu Village, after getting the natal Gu, she has the qualification to practice Gu arts, such a girl's family has a very high status in the village and in the entire Miao Ling.

Looking for Gu seeds can't be found during the day, you can't see the larvae during the day, and the insects that grow up are either too ugly or too smelly, and the girls don't like them, such as cicadas and silkworms, probably because of this, passed down from generation to generation, the girls' homes in Luo's Gu Village, their eyesight at night will be exceptionally good.

There is no need for a flashlight, no need to pick up a lantern, bring the glutinous rice cake made by your father and mother and sprinkle it with frosting, and the girls of Luojia Gu Village can spend a night in Miaoling, naturally, there is still an elder to accompany you, just in case.

Very few girls can find a natal Gu that suits them at one time at the age of twelve, Luo Guiyi knows that at the age of seventeen, she has not found a Gu seed that suits her, and if she wants to learn the Gu art in the village well, there is no great possibility, many of the sisters who are as big as themselves have given up on this sin, and the Guiyi girl is unwilling, at least, she has obtained the natal Gu, not to mention the Gu technique, at least the natal Gu will protect her to have a safe and disease-free body, and her appearance will age slowly.

Return, through the fake word feed, wattle, newborn thatch, the ancient white thatch to show love, the father and mother named themselves Guiyi, taken from the poetry "Jing Girl", is to hope that they will be a quiet girl when they grow up and marry a good man.

Guiyi is indeed as his father and mother wish, but his temperament is still indispensable to the stubbornness of the Miao girl.

The good moon, the breeze, the special sachets in the village are hung on the body, and mosquitoes and flies do not dare to harass.

The girl picked up a fat larva with her fingertips, and showed it to the elders who came with her with some joy: "Grandma, how is this?" ”

Luo Ying has always been kind, never blamed anything, and after taking a look at the fat bug, he asked Gui Yi to take his younger sisters to another place.

The girl didn't understand, but she still gave up obediently, and quietly picked up Luo Ying: "Grandma, you are so old, why don't you let the sisters in the village accompany us down, you have a good rest!" ”

A touch of sadness flashed in Luo Ying's eyes, and he didn't answer, but just pointed to the Gu seed that was thrown away by the Guiyi girl and said: "That's a corpse worm, it is used to practice corpse Gu, it can grow so big, it should have absorbed a lot of corpse qi, this neighborhood, it's not a good place!" ”

The Guiyi girl's face was a little pale, and she said mournfully: "I'm afraid that I don't have a fate with the Natal Gu, I really envy those sisters who can find the Natal Gu at the age of twelve!" ”

Luo Ying sighed: "It's not as good as before, now the Gu seed that can be a natal Gu is getting harder and harder to find, besides, the process of getting a natal Gu and merging with the natal Gu is a very painful thing!" Besides, with the Natal Gu, of course, it can protect you to have a good body, but ah, from now on, you can't give up with the Natal Gu, the Natal Gu is separated from the body, as if the spirit has been drained away, and it has become very weak, and the human Gu is one and the same, the person dies Gu and the Gu disappears, and the Gu disappears and the person dies, in our village, there is only one girl who got the Natal Gu that is abnormally compatible with herself very early, the higher the fit, the more difficult it is for the human Gu to be separated from. ”

The Guiyi girl automatically filtered Luo Ying's words, and said enviously: "Grandma, I know, you're talking about Sister Luo Li, it's so good!" How did she find Natal Gu in the first place? ”

Luo Ying was silent for a while, and a trace of confusion and regret appeared in her eyes: "Xiaoli's natal Gu is a snow worm, it was the natal Gu that found her by itself, this snow worm, living life, calling the soul, but Grandma has only seen this time so far, this kind of Gu worm is only found in Xueling, and we have never appeared here......"

The girl blew the whistle like a warbler on her wrist and summoned the scattered sisters to another mountain forest.

But at this time, a little girl ran over crying and grabbed Luo Ying's sleeve, saying that on the river outside, a large group of ghost fires floated over......
