The forbidden land of Gu Master mentioned by Granny Gu, I have also seen some relevant records in the ancient scrolls at home.

The first time someone discovered that place was in the second year of Zhenghe. That year happened to break out in the history of the notorious witch Gu case in the history of the Western Han Dynasty, the world's Gu masters were almost all slaughtered, there were no three out of ten, at that time there were two Miao Jiang Gu divisions were denounced by local civilians, in order to escape the pursuit of officers and soldiers, in desperation sneaked into the hundred miles of mountains to hide, and found a place called Taoyuan Township by mistake.

As for what these two Gu masters called and how they found Taoyuan Township, there was no detailed record in the ancient scrolls, but it was said that the village was isolated from the rest of the world, and the people who lived there, whether it was the written language used, or the customs and habits, were very different from the people outside.

After arriving here, the Gu Master was warmly welcomed by the locals and decided to stay here for a long time.

After living for a while, they found that the men never cultivated the land, the women never weaved, and everyone was only interested in drinking and singing every day, but they never lacked food or clothing.

Curious, they asked the locals why they never worked, and where did they get their food and clothes?

Even though they didn't understand the language, they still got the answer from the villagers, and the village chief took them to the east of Taoyuan Township, where there were large peach trees, even in winter, the trees were large and full of death, and the peaches that produced here were the size of an adult's chest.

The peach has no meat, no core, only a layer and a half of an inch thick skin, the village chief opened the skin, and the two Gu masters actually saw that it was actually cooked food, red elbow, steamed venison, roast leg of mutton, all kinds of food, everything.

Later, the village chief opened the second peach, and it was filled with gorgeous clothes.

These peach trees grow on their own without fertilizing or watering, and each time they pick a peach, a new peach grows on the branches the next day.

Even if the locals don't do anything, they can still live a carefree life.

To say that these two Gu masters are also full of food and support, and they have a good life, but they have to find out what is going on with these peach trees.

One night, while everyone in the village was asleep, they went into the peach grove with a saw, and cut off a peach tree just to see what was in the trunk.

As soon as the peach tree was broken, a large stream of liquid gushed out from the stump, the sky was dark, and the two Gu Masters couldn't see what color these liquids were, so they tasted it boldly, and it was almost no taste, just a little sweet, thinking that it might be some kind of sweet spring water.

Afraid of waking up the sleeping villagers, the Gu Master didn't dare to stay longer, and returned to the village with a saw.

That night, they briefly discussed the matter of the peach grove, and decided that there might be a spiritual spring under the forest, that is, relying on the spiritual charm of the spring water, these shocking sacred trees were nourished.

Early the next morning, a strong smell of blood filled the village, and all the villagers gathered near the peach forest, and the two Gu masters also went.

The peach forest, which was still flourishing yesterday, completely withered overnight, and all the peaches were gone, leaving only the withered and shriveled trunks, and in the lines of the trunks, there was still a smell of blood.

The tree that was cut down by the Gu Master was also bloody, and on the section of the stump, you could even see flesh and blood like earthworms.

At this time, the Gu masters panicked, they were afraid of being retaliated against by the villagers, so they hurriedly fled from Taoyuan Township while everyone was not relieved.

Both of them may be practitioners with very good foot strength, although there are also villagers who have reacted and tried to catch them, but they can't catch up with them anyway.

When they were about to escape from Taoyuan Township, the villagers chasing after them screamed again and again, and when the Gu masters looked back, they found that the villagers had a large area of abscesses, and the abscesses were ruptured, and the skin and flesh were open for a while.

The two Gu masters still had a conscience, so they didn't run away at the moment, and quickly turned around to save people.

The villagers were covered in sores, this was obviously poisoned, and the two Gu masters were also considered to be masters, and they could not remove the poison from the villagers by all means, and there was even a Gu master who was highly poisoned because he came into contact with pus and blood.

The remaining Gu Master saw that his companion died violently, and the villagers could not be saved, so he lost his courage in an instant, and fled from Taoyuan Township in fear.

When he came out of the mountain, he happened to meet the officers and soldiers who came to arrest him, and he felt chills in his heart, so he could not escape this time, and was sent to prison on the same day.

These contents recorded in the ancient scrolls also came from a confession provided by the Gu Master when he was escorted to the high hall.

The people in charge of interrogating him didn't take Taoyuan Township seriously, they just thought that the Gu Master was pretending to be crazy and stupid, so they put him in prison and planned to torture him.

However, when the executioner came to the cell, the Gu Master was already dead, and he also died of a violent sore, exactly the same as the death of the villagers.

Don't think that this matter is over here, since the day after the Gu Master's violent death, there has been a plague in the local area, it is strange to say, this plague is harmless to ordinary people, but it only harms the Gu Master, there were originally more than fifty Gu Masters in the local area, and four of them were cleaned up in three days, and when everyone died, they were covered with sores, and pus and blood seeped into the meridians.

That year, the Gu masters in Xiangxi could be said to be in danger, and they were afraid that this bad luck would befall them. Perhaps by God's grace, the plague did not spread to other places, and as time passed, the locals gradually forgot the legend of Taoyuan Township.

This is just this legend, and it is still passed down by word of mouth among the Gu masters of the Nine Eighteen Mountains.

Taoyuan Township is no longer the paradise on earth that they have no worries about food and clothing, it has been renamed Broken Soul Township, and it has become a forbidden place that Jiuli Gu masters must not set foot in.

To be honest, I don't believe much in this legend, after all, the fact that clothes and food grow out of peaches is really unreasonable.

But Granny Gu is convinced of this, and it should be said that Jiuli Gu Master is convinced of this legend.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were even a few Gu masters who spontaneously studied the details of the legend, although the direction and method of each person's research were different, but the conclusions they came to were very similar, that is, the villagers were not poisoned at that time, but fell into a strange Gu that could not be solved in the mortal world.

Poison does not form a plague, but Gu worms may multiply in large numbers.

The initial form of this Gu worm should be relatively tiny eggs, which can fall on humans with the wind, and they will enter the blood vessels along the pores and give birth to adult worms in a short time.

The reason why the two Gu masters who strayed into the Broken Soul Township did not die violently at the first time was because they had raised Gu all year round and had a certain resistance to Gu, which delayed the development of insect eggs.

The reason why the Gu master who had been exposed to the pus and blood of the villagers instantly broke out was because the pus and blood of the villagers contained the adult worms of the Gu worms, once this thing was launched, but with the little resistance on the Gu master's body, it would not be able to resist it at all.

As for why this Gu worm only causes harm to Taoyuan villagers and Gu masters, but is harmless to ordinary people, there is no reasonable explanation.

Gu Po said that the Gu thing in the forbidden land is extremely powerful, from the Western Han Dynasty to the present, there are many Gu masters who think highly of themselves have looked for it, because as long as it can be controlled, it is equivalent to getting a huge power, even if you want to control it, you must face the danger of no return, but in the face of interests, there are still people who take risks.

Jiuli and Eighteen Mountains did not give up the search for Taoyuan Township in the past, but they did not intend to take the strange Gu for themselves, but wanted to seal Taoyuan Township and send experts to guard it day and night to prevent people with bad intentions from entering.

It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that all the sects in the industry had to report to the Religious Bureau and were under the unified management of the state, and the talents of Jiuli gradually cooperated with the Central Plains sect.

In the past fifty years, Granny Gu found Xia Zongming, the big head of Jisoul Village, Xia Zongming, and entrusted him to calculate the location of Taoyuan Township.

I have to say that Xia Zongming's Xiaobu skills are really powerful, and he really calculated the general location of Taoyuan Township, that is, the forest where the old cottage is located, but he only calculated the approximate location, but he also failed to calculate where the entrance to Taoyuan Township was.

Later, when the ancient mother-in-law took people to the local area to explore, she found this town established during the Republic of China, when the town was deserted, only some dilapidated buildings remained, and later they found some ancient houses three hundred years ago in the town, and concluded that in the Kangxi period, someone had found Taoyuan Township and set up a stronghold here.

At that time, Granny Gu and her party also searched for the entrance to Taoyuan Township in this area, and it took two years to find it, but they couldn't find it.

In desperation, they could only tell the mountain owners of Jiuli Eighteen Mountains about the local situation and some of their own speculations, and everyone discussed it and decided to propose a new stronghold on the basis of the old town, on the one hand, to prevent others from approaching Taoyuan Township, and on the other hand, they also took root here and continued to look for the entrance to Taoyuan Township.

In the process of building the new village, someone dug a secret room in the belly of the mountain, which stored a large amount of Japanese-style equipment, and it was because of this that they knew that the old town was actually built by the Japanese.

But this place is very difficult to find, and there are several feng shui bureaus similar to ghosts hitting the wall outside the mountain, ordinary people can't get in at all, and no one can tell how those Japanese people got in.

Later, the people of Jiuli also tried to contact the Japanese onmyoji, intending to ask them what kind of purpose the people who came here in the first place.

This time the contact yielded little results, and no one among the Onmyoji knew what was going on.

Until last summer, Zuo Youdao caught an onmyoji named Ashiya Masanobu in Bohai Bay, and sent this person to the organization for investigation.
