Chapter 467: Witch Gu King
The conversation with Ye Jiuqing made me fall into a chaotic thought, and it wasn't until Xue Xinrou's cry of pain interrupted me that the high priest had already begun to remove the Gu poison from their bodies. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gu art is a kind of Miao witchcraft, as for the origin is now impossible to verify, but this mysterious witchcraft is the first time we have experienced it, the high priest let the palace lord and Tian Ji and Xue Xinrou stand on the brazier.
A dagger was used to cut a wound on the back of each of their hands, and then from the shrine I took out a mahogany box carved with a chiyu ornament, and inside I saw three wriggling, silkworm-like yellow things.
"Golden Silkworm!" The woman next to her was shocked.
"What is a golden silkworm?" I asked.
The woman told us that in the witchcraft of Miaojiang, a kind of Gu was recorded, silkworm-shaped, golden and transparent, with two eyes, seven sections on the body, a round and convex head with double pincer jaws, and eight legs under it, which was the golden silkworm Gu second only to the dragon Gu and the unicorn Gu in the Gu poison.
Because no Miao witch has ever produced a dragon Gu and a unicorn Gu, so for thousands of years, the Golden Silkworm Gu is the highest level of Gu poison in Miao Jiang's witchcraft, and the Gu has a characteristic, the more toxic the domineering Gu is the more powerful, and at the same time, it can also devour Gu things that are weaker than themselves, which comes from the origin of Gu.
The so-called Gu, at the beginning, put their poisons together and devour each other, and the remaining one is Gu, the golden silkworm is rare, although it is extremely poisonous and indestructible, it is the Gu thing that all Miao Wu dreams of.
After listening to the woman, I didn't see anything unusual about the little bit of the big golden silkworm, the high priest carefully took out the golden silkworm and put it on the wounds of the three of them, the golden silkworm saw the blood, and quickly crawled along the bloodstains.
Once I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, there was still a Gu in the body of the field chicken, and now I guess I saw another worm on my body, and I looked at me at a loss, as if waiting for my reply.
"Don't tighten, one thing descends one thing, the Tencel Gu is attached to the muscles and flesh, and it can't be removed at all, with the golden silkworm here, their fate is saved." The woman said to me.
I nodded at the field chickens and them, signaling not to worry, but there was a Gu poison crawling on my hand, not to mention that the three of them were deeply affected, and it was false to say that they were not afraid, and they knew that they had palpitations when they looked at their expressions.
The golden silkworm quickly crawled into the wound, and in a moment something yellow-green flowed out of their wound, dripping into the brazier and raising a ghostly flame, and after about half an hour, I saw blood flowing out of it again, and after a while, the three golden silkworms also wriggled out of the wound.
The high priest took the golden silkworm back into the box, put it back on the shrine, walked up to me and said respectfully: "The Tencel Gu on their bodies has been completely removed, but there are very few Tencel Gu in Miao Jiang that can be refined, where are they in this Gu?" ”
I told the high priest about what happened in Dunan, and when he heard that there was Miao Wu refining Qilin Gu in the stone cave, his face immediately changed.
"No Miao Wu can make a Qilin Gu, unless it's a ......," the high priest looked flustered and shook his head as he spoke. But it's impossible, it's been a thousand years since it disappeared, why did the Qilin Gu appear again? ”
"What is so powerful about Qilin Gu?" I saw that the high priest's expression was wrong, and I asked in surprise.
The high priest told us with a frightened expression that the Qilin Gu was the most domineering Gu among all the Gu poisons, just like the Golden Silkworm could devour the Tencel Gu, once the Qilin Gu was successfully refined, there would be no Gu that could match it, and whoever mastered this Gu would be able to control all the Gu poisons of Miao Wu.
"There are two sides to everything, the world only knows that Miao Gu kills people invisibly, so when it comes to tiger color change, if Gu is lucky, it can also save people and cure diseases, but Gu is poison after all, once it is controlled, if it is a person with a bad heart, he can do whatever he wants." The high priest said.
I remembered the few ancient books I found in the Miao Wu wooden house, and asked Xue Xinrou to take them out and show them to the high priest, he could actually recognize the words on them, and the more I flipped through them, the more shocked and solemn the high priest's expression became.
"These are all forbidden Gu in Miao Jiang, and they are all recorded......
"Forbidden Gu? What is Forbidden Gu? The palace lord stepped forward and asked.
"It takes a long time to refine Gu poison, although different Miao witches have different Gu production methods, but they basically use all kinds of poisons, but there are some Miao witches, in order to pursue the toxicity of Gu poison, they do not hesitate to use people to refine it, Tencel Gu is one of them, these Gu refined by people are more powerful than ordinary Gu poisons, for a long time, this kind of Gu was extremely popular in Miao Jiang."
The high priest was uneasy when he said this, and after reading a few more pages, he closed the ancient book and continued to say to us, but in order to refine such a Gu, it is necessary to mutilate lives and destroy living beings, and the refined Gu poison is not only used to save people and cure diseases.
In order to prevent the spread and inheritance of this kind of Gu, these Gu were listed as forbidden Gu in Miao Jiang witchcraft, and Miao witches who had participated in the forbidden Gu would be executed and exiled, and gradually the manufacturing methods of these forbidden Gu were also lost.
"These books can't be left behind, once they leak out, the entire Miao Jiang is bound to be bloody." Miao Wu woman said.
"These books were obtained in the hands of a Miao Wu in Dunan?" The high priest looked at the ancient book in his hand and shook his head slowly. "It shouldn't be, in the record of the Great Purge back then, all the forbidden Gu Miao Witches were wiped out, even if there were a few fish that slipped through the net, it was impossible to master such a complete book of forbidden Gu."
"Since you all said that there are fish that have slipped through the net, it is not surprising that these forbidden Gu books are circulating." Ye Jiuqing said.
"Impossible." The high priest shook his head, held up the ancient book, and said. "If Miao Wu had obtained these ancient books, I am afraid that a large number of forbidden Gu would have been produced long ago, you must know that the forbidden Gu is far more than a hundred times more powerful than ordinary Gu, Miao Jiang's Gu poison should have been chaotic long ago, but the strange thing is that for so long, there has never been a Gu change."
"Then there's another possibility." Xue Xinrou looked up at us.
"What is possible?"
"These ancient books have only recently appeared, and that Miao Wu has just gotten it not long ago." Xue Xinrou took a few steps back and forth, and her voice was sure. "Think about it, we found so many mutilated people in Miao Wu's wooden house, if she had been using living people to make Gu, it would be impossible for there to be rumors that no one was missing in Miao Village, presumably it was not long before she started making forbidden Gu based on ancient books."
"Then how could Miao Wu suddenly get these ancient books?" Tian Ji frowned, puzzled.
"Tomb!" Gong Jue's eyes lit up. "That's why there are Miao witches who appear in the priest's tomb, and these Miao witches are going to make forbidden Gu methods hidden in the ancient tomb."
"It doesn't make sense, the master of the ancient tomb is a priest, and he has a very high status in Miaojiang, how can a dignified priest do a ...... of losing his conscience?"
As soon as I was halfway through speaking, I found that the high priest in front of me had a solemn expression, and my heart was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that even the priest has participated in the creation of forbidden Gu?!" ”
"Not participation." The High Priest was silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice.
"What's that?" The palace lord asked.
"The initiator of the appearance of the forbidden Gu is the priest of the Miao tribe."
……
Hearing this, I roughly understood that the Gu that had always been mysterious seemed to have unknown experiences and secrets, but what I never expected was that the priests of the Miao clan actually participated in the forbidden Gu.
I hurriedly asked Xue Xinrou to turn over the note she was carrying with her to the pattern we saw in the ancient tomb and put it in front of the high priest: "Do you recognize this pattern?" ”
The high priest only glanced at it, and the whole person was shocked: "This, this is the mark of the Witch King, where did you see it?" ”
"Witch King, why did another person pop up? What is this man doing? Tian Ji asked curiously.
The high priest did not answer directly, but walked to the holy tower, blew the hanging horn, and in a moment more than a dozen strong Miao men came up, and the high priest ordered that no one should come in at a distance of ten paces from the holy tower, including the women who brought us here.
It seemed that what the High Priest was going to tell us was very confidential and taboo, and when the door was closed, the High Priest invited us to sit around the brazier, and he was still full of humble devotion to me, and invited me to sit on the throne of the Holy Tower.
He poured water for us while telling the story, retrospectively, the time when the Wu Gu King appeared a thousand years ago, and the priests of the past dynasties were responsible for the inheritance of the religion and cultural relics of Miaojiang, and one of the important responsibilities was to erase the existence of this person from these inheritances at all costs.
"Why did you erase the existence of the Witch King?" Xue Xinrou listened attentively.
"Because the Witch Gu King was once too powerful, his influence almost changed the changes of the Miao people, and the priests of the past generations tried every means to erase the traces of his existence, after all, the inheritance of Miao Jiang was told by the priests from generation to generation." The high priest said to us with full attention. "In the past thousand years, with the passage of time, everything about this person has finally been eliminated from the rumors of Miao Jiang."
It dawned on me that from the murals in the dark room of the ancient tomb, it was not difficult to find that the person standing on the high platform should be the witch king mentioned by the high priest, a person with so many believers will have some records handed down, and we didn't even have any rumors, it turned out to be deliberately erased by the Miao priests.
I wonder why the priests of the past have gone to great lengths to cover up the past of a person's existence, after all, I am especially interested in this man called the Witch King.
The high priest said that the Witch Gu King was once extremely powerful, but I didn't dare to be interested in these, I just wanted to know how this person borrowed and tampered with the divinity of the ancestral god, and what was the reason why it allowed mere mortals to subvert and control the beliefs of the descendants of Jiuli.
In my heart, the Witch King is the origin of blasphemy against the ancestral gods, and those who blaspheme the gods must be punished.
"Why do you want to remove the traces of this person's existence?" I asked seriously.
The high priest stared at the bonfire, hesitated for a moment, and his voice was heavy: "Because the time when the Witch Gu King appeared, it was the darkest period in the entire history of the Miao people. ”
