Chapter 36: Gu Master

X's father is not an ungrateful person and originally did not agree with X's mother's suggestion at all, but for the sake of the child's future, he finally chose to return to the city. After returning to Wudu, X's father successfully passed the college entrance examination and entered Wudu University with his own efforts and foundation. After graduating, he naturally stayed in Wudu University of Technology to teach, and lived a life in the city that many people envied.

However, X's father has not forgotten the past, and he has always loved his wife and children who stayed in the village. In the years when he was teaching in Wudu, although X's father's elderly parents always urged him to divorce his wife in the village, and tried every means to introduce his daughters to him, he refused them one by one. Not only did he not marry again, but every year during the winter and summer vacations at school, he would take time to go back to the village to visit his wife and children who he hadn't seen for a long time.

When X was six years old, his father offered to take X to study in an elementary school in Wudu City, which was why he agreed to leave the village. X's mother was very reluctant to have a child, but she also knew that this was the best for the child's future, so she agreed that X's father would pick up X and go to Wudu during the summer vacation. Just when X's father returned to the village and the family happily prepared things for the child's school, something happened at X's father's school.

It turned out that in Wudu University of Technology, where X's father was located, there was a college girl who liked him very much, and in order to get the favor of X's father and be with X's father, this girl tried her best to get close to X's father and his family. After a period of deliberate approach, X's father's parents liked the female college student very much, regarded her as their future satisfactory daughter-in-law, and encouraged her to take the initiative to pursue their son.

All of this is exactly what the female college student needs, with the support of X's father and parents, her way of approaching him is more ** and bold. On the day when X's father bought a train ticket in the summer and planned to pick up X in the village, the female college student suddenly found X's father and stuffed him with a suicide note. After reading the letter, X's father was worried that the female college student would not be able to think about it and do something stupid, so he hurried to her dormitory to find her.

As a result, in the dormitory of the female college student, she was found naked and waiting for him to take the bait. On the grounds of "suing him for being a hooligan if he is not together", she once again blackmailed X's father to accept her love, and hugged X's father tightly with her own **, trying to make raw rice into mature rice. He didn't feel anything for her, so he could only push her away violently in a hurry, and then hurriedly ran away from the door. Because he was worried that the female college student would play tricks on him again, X's father didn't even dare to go back to the office, and hurriedly went to the train station after saying leave to the leader, and then traveled back to the village.

A few days later, several policemen suddenly came to the village, accompanied by the leader of the security department of Wudu University of Technology, who found X's father who was playing with his wife and children in the village, and wanted to arrest him without saying a word. Seeing this, the people in the stockade automatically protected X's father, and they clashed with the police and security personnel, only to be outnumbered by the police and security personnel that the people in the stockade told the people in the stockade that X's father had killed someone at Wudu University of Technology.

It turned out that not long after X's father left the girls' dormitory, the female college student was found naked and died in her bed. And the forensic doctor who came to solve the case also found that the female college student's *** was ruptured, and there were multiple scratches and bruises on her body, confirming that the deceased had been raped before his death, so X's father became the first suspect in the murder, and the police, together with the school teacher, took X's father away.

Soon after they returned, the police sent a message to X's mother that X's father had confessed to the crime, but had fled during the interrogation, and that he was now wanted by the police across the country. X's mother is still convinced of his father's innocence, and believes that X's father was framed by someone at school, and X's father has disappeared since then. This disappearance has been missing for decades, and they have not heard from any father until X's mother died.

In the Miao people, the people who have always "released Gu worms" are women, and this kind of thing has always been passed on to women but not to men. However, the customs of the Tujia people, which are adjacent to the Miao people, are just the opposite, and the people in their tribe who "release Gu worms" are all men. For men or women who can "release Gu worms", the traditional Xiangxi people feel different. Xiangxi people are afraid and discriminatory against those women who can "release Gu worms", and they usually hide when they see them, even if they are witches like X's mother, the people in the village don't dare to get too close.

The people of Xiangxi are afraid and respectful of those men who can "release Gu worms", and many times this kind of man says nothing in the village, and his prestige is very high. X's mother is a shrine maiden, and his father was identified as a murderer by the police, and later became a notorious wanted criminal, although no one in the village dared to bully him openly, but there were still a lot of slanders, ridicules and insults in secret. And X, like his mother, firmly believes that his father is innocent, and from the time he was sensible, he was determined to find his father and give his father justice.

Therefore, he learned a lot of Gu techniques from his mother, and he also inherited his mother's most powerful "Gu worm" and brought it with him. After his mother passed away, he left the village where he had lived for many years and came to Wudu to find his father.

At that time, the people of Wudu were very unfamiliar with the profession of "Gu Master", and even the well-informed antique world knew nothing about "Gu Master". In their minds, a "Gu Master" is a person who uses the gimmick of feudal superstition as a profession and uses charms, poisonous insects and other evil things to set up good fortune and evil for people. Gu art is also a kind of legend that is the same as Xiangxi's "chasing corpses", the so-called "releasing Gu worms" method and what Gu looks like, except for the myths and legends that have been passed down from generation to generation, no one has seen or said it.

Therefore, everyone in the antique street does not respect or believe in X very much, in the eyes of many people, he is a charlatan, and even he does not believe the statement that he came to the fog to find his father. This disbelief also made X more determined to find his father. After a period of hard work, he finally adapted to life in the fog capital and met a lot of people who were of three religions and nine ranks. The hard work paid off, and X finally heard some news of his father in the gossip flying in the sky with half-truths and half-truths.
