"Then why do your people live in the valley? Isn't it the same to live with humans? I asked, puzzled. Miss Mo Lan looked no different from a normal person. ”

Mo Lan shook her head with a wry smile. "Little brother, don't you know, as the daughter of the Spring God, we naturally have an important task to do. Our most important task is to grow and protect orchids, and if you go to the Valley of Determination you will find that there are all kinds of orchids there, some of which have long since disappeared from the human world, but they are still in our valley. And we are constantly cultivating all kinds of new orchids, which should not be known to humans, and this is our mission. ”

"And such amazing things." I sighed. "But this magic is magic, but what is the inevitable connection with Xiao Yin's experience?"

"Planting orchids is just one of our tasks, but we have a more important mission, and this is one of our most secret tasks, which is to find the person chosen by the orchid god."

What does this mean? I don't really understand what you just said. Xiao Yin said.

"It's hard to put into words, it's a complicated matter, and I'll try to tell you as briefly as possible." Before I knew it, Mo Lan had driven out of the city of Lijiang, and we now seemed to be in a wilderness, surrounded by towering trees. "You know that every plant has its own meaning, and in addition to the flower itself, it also includes the spiritual meaning attached to the flower, and this spiritual meaning needs to be grafted onto human beings to be able to pass it on."

I sighed feebly. "It's really hard to understand."

"If the orchid is planted to protect this flower species, then the person chosen by the orchid is to pass on the spirit of the orchid, but to be honest, although we have been doing this, if you ask me what is the spirit of the orchid? I can't tell. ”

"The spirit of the orchid?" Xiao Yin began to mumble to himself.

"But since he was chosen, it means that this person's spirit is very close to that of an orchid, but it may take a series of trials to be completely sure, which is what I want to take Xiao Yin to do next." Mo Lan is already trying her best to explain the problem clearly, but I still don't understand, what spirit does Xiao Yin have? Nobody knows.

"Grinding? Will there still be a grind? It can't be a test, right? Xiao Yin's tone was already a little timid. I'm a big fan of testing this kind of thing. ”

"It's really a test, after you get to the Valley of Determination, we will give you the next Gu, and this Gu will change your future life." Mo Lan kept driving the car north, but at this moment he couldn't see his five fingers, only the headlights were still emitting a faint light, barely illuminating the way forward. "A sorcery that our people have been practicing."

"Gu!" Xiao Yin and I shouted out in unison.

"To be precise, it should be called Orchid Gu ......"

Gu, this is not a good word, to talk about its birth, it should be traced back to the Yin Shang era, Yin Ruin oracle bone inscription has used the way of thinking of looking at things and taking images to make the production of Gu poison, made a pictographic "diagram", that is, there are a variety of poisonous insects in a "dish" container.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" "Four Insects" collection quotes the original words of the Tang Dynasty's Chen Zangqi: "...... Take a hundred insects into the urn, after years of opening, there will be a worm to eat all the insects, that is, this is called Gu. "It can be seen that in ancient times, Gu was just a poisonous insect.

But with the passage of time, the production process of Gu began to become more and more complex, and slowly transformed into a mysterious object that was artificially applied in a special way and carefully cultivated over many years, and the type of Gu was not just limited to poisonous insects, it could be large or small, generally animals, and animals were generally two for a pair, but there were also very few classes for plants. The method of seed application can be applied directly or indirectly. Gu can only be raised and planted by women, and men cannot raise seeds. The process of making it alone is terrifying.

Gu is known as the three major witchcraft in Southeast Asia along with Xiangxi corpse expulsion technique and China Nanyang head lowering technique.

In today's society, with the rapid development of science and technology, people have begun to advocate world knows, and many experts have begun to invest energy to analyze those strange witchcraft, but there has been no effective progress in the study of Gu, and some experts explain that Gu is actually just a kind of reptile, which will burrow into people's bodies and eat away at people's internal organs. Some experts have come to the conclusion that Gu is a bacterial fungus, which can potentially destroy the physiology of the human body, but these are obviously self-justifying, and no one has been able to explain this kind of thing in detail so far.

The types of Gu are even more complex and mysterious, almost all the southern provinces have their own characteristics of Gu, the Zhuang Crazy Gu, the Lingnan Golden Silkworm Gu, and the Liangyue Change Gu, all of which are terrifying poisons. As for the types of Gu, the Gu in Miaojiang is the most complicated, because there are so many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, almost every ethnic group has one or two Gu poisons inherited by their own clan.

Orchid Gu, what kind of poison is this?

"Yes, as you think, this is indeed a kind of witchcraft, if Xiao Yin is willing, we will plant this kind of Gu for you, and then you will be equivalent to reaching a contract with our Xianglan clan." Mo Lan said solemnly, this feeling was very different from the one he had just planted in the bar, and mystery and darkness had now become the main colors of her eyes.

"In my understanding, Gu is a double-edged sword, it will bring people some power that is different from ordinary people, and it will also destroy some of people's functions." I shuddered, feeling my nerves go numb.

"That's an ordinary Gu, this orchid Gu of our clan is even more cruel than the ones you know......" When Mo Lan said this, she unconsciously began to slow down, she slowly stepped on the brakes and stopped in the middle of the road, surrounded by a gray night, there was not a single star, and it felt as if she was also running away from this matter. Xiao Yin, do you really want to know about this kind of Gu? If you don't like it, I can send you back to Lijiang. ”

"Please, it's a dream that has haunted me for years, and I have no reason to leave now."

"You know what? Orchid Gu actually uses the flower seed of the orchid as a carrier, when you are planted with the Gu, you will merge with the seed of this orchid, and then the divine power of the sentence hidden in the seed will bless you and make you smooth sailing in many things in the future, but you need to pay a harsh price for it......"

"The price!" I couldn't hold back anymore and shouted loudly, feeling that the atmosphere in the small carriage had become extremely eerie.

"The person who has been planted with the Orchid Gu, he must maintain his character and cannot be changed, once the person's thinking changes, he will die on the spot."

This made me shudder, I have heard that people who have been planted Gu can't do some specific things, but I have never heard of this kind of thing can rise to the spiritual level, you must know that people's minds can change at any time, you when you were a child and you who grew up are very different, and even today's you and tomorrow's people will be like two people at a certain time, and it is too difficult to maintain your character and never change.

"Xiao Yin, this ...... You can't! ”
