Chapter 112: Gu

I've always been full of compassion for new things, and I didn't intend to do anything about it. But these damn black snakes are brutal by nature, and they are so aggressive as soon as they are born. Every single blow is going to kill us, and I have no choice but to do it.

When I stopped the propane injector in my hand, I found that the aggressive viper cubs had been reduced to charcoal. With just a light blow, it fell all over the ground.

Out of curiosity, the old ghost and I each pulled out a skull with a pickaxe to find out where these things came from.

When we pulled the head off the wall, we discovered the mystery: it turned out that the black snakes laid their eggs in this white skull. When the skull was opened, it was revealed that there was a snake egg inside.

Snake gall bladders are small in size, but they are numerous. No wonder we have encountered so many poisonous snakes before, it turns out that they all came from here. But I'm curious as to how there are so many snake eggs here.

How do they survive in such a hostile environment? To say that winter enters the hibernation period, it is understandable, and it is also within the scope of science and natural laws; But they can't hibernate all year round, can they? So how do they survive when they don't hibernate?

These questions are a big problem for me, and they are constantly haunting my mind.

When the old ghost saw that I was stunned, he asked me, "Hey, what's the fuss?" What do you think? ”

The older ones came to me and asked, "What?" What did you find? Or do you have any ideas? ”

I told them my doubts, and the big one, after listening to my question, analyzed, "As far as I can see, it is very likely that these snakes were resurrected when we came in!" ”

"What? Was it resurrected when we came in? The old ghost and I asked in unison.

"Well, I guess there are two possibilities!" The big man analyzed, "One is: a long, long time ago. When these black snakes were laying eggs, suddenly a heavy snowstorm suddenly fell in the sky, freezing a qiē in an instant.

It wasn't until we came in and suddenly changed some kind of structure in the place, causing the temperature to rise. The rise in temperature causes the snow and ice to melt. Thus leading to the resurrection of these black snakes.

The second possibility is that these black snakes are from time immemorial. I survived. ”

"Ancient times?" I asked.

"yes!" "They may have been passed down from generation to generation," the older man speculated. Judging from the traces around them and the environment and way in which they lay their eggs, it can be generally judged that they are still very familiar. ”

When the old ghost heard the big man say this, he asked, "Then how did they survive?" Do they not live and eat? ”

The big man shook his head and said, "How is that possible, you must eat!" They are also animals, how can they survive without eating? ”

"I'll say yes, too. They can't be immortals. As long as it is a mortal fetus with the naked eye, it has to forage for food and water. "But the question comes back, what do they eat and what do they eat?" ”

"Probably their kind!" The older man said, "Hibernate during the hibernation season and eat your own kind when you don't." ”

The big man's answer really surprised us, but after thinking about it, I think it makes more sense. In the biological world. There are countless examples of the same kind eating the same kind. Besides, it's still such a ferocious poisonous snake?

The old ghost and I nodded at the same time. Praise for the big man's analysis. What he said is very reasonable, and it is also in line with scientific laws and objective conditions.

But when I thought about it, I found that this conjecture did not seem to be valid: for even if these snakes ate their own kind. However, they should not be able to regenerate as quickly as they feed on a feeder cycle.

The older man explained this: "Because they have been in this environment for a long time, they may have a slower metabolism themselves." So. They eat once for several days or even longer. ”

At this time, Qian Cheng, who had been listening to us, finally couldn't hold it back. He also came over to help when we were just talking and busy.

He had been listening to us for a while, and he himself had been a listener for a while. At this time. Listening to our analysis in this way, it may feel inappropriate.

I saw that he was impulsive, as if he had something to say. He may have his own unique opinions on such inferences.

So I asked Qian Cheng: "Then what do you think?" ”

"Gu!" Qian Chengcheng threw me such a word, and said nothing else.

"Gu?" The old ghost and I asked in unison.

Because we didn't understand what it meant, we thought the big guy was talking about the "drum". I was still thinking to myself, "What else do you need to drum up for these things?" ”

The big man said: "It's 'Gu', the 'Gu' of 'Gu Technique'." ”

"Oh, you're talking about that Gu?" The old ghost and I seemed to understand what I said, and finally held it for a long time, or said, "What do you mean?" ”

The big man shook his head helplessly and explained to us: "Gu Technique, a legendary artificially cultivated poisonous insect, is specially designed to harm people. It is also said to refer to the parasite in the human abdomen.

In ancient times, it was said that poisonous insects that could harm people were artificially cultivated.

Gu release is a mysterious witchcraft inherited from ancient China. In the past, in the southern countryside of China, there used to be a lot of trouble, talking about 'Gu' color change. The literati and scholars passed on each other, and the books of the pen also seemed to think that there was something to do.

Some pharmacists also took it as true and wrote down some methods for curing Gu.

At first, it was just some artificially bred poisonous insects. Later, due to the development of Gu arts, it was no longer limited to poisonous insects, but also developed into other Gu art varieties. Of course, due to different regions, Gu art will also be fundamentally different.

Gu release is a mysterious witchcraft inherited from ancient times in our country, in Hunan and Xiangxi, it used to be very noisy, talking about Gu color change.

Releasing Gu is a very terrible and foolish act of harming people. It is also due to the bad habits of the ancient people's wisdom that have not been developed.

Just like the Miao people in many remote areas, medicine was backward in the old days, and many diseases could not be effectively treated. Every time the medical treatment is ineffective, it is easy to blame Gu.

With the popularization of scientific and cultural knowledge in the Miao area and the improvement of medical level, the influence of Gu superstition is now getting smaller and smaller.

However, in many remote areas, there are still many ancient Gu arts. There, Gu art seemed to have become a belief for them. What's more, for the sake of Gu art, he will not marry or marry for the rest of his life, in order to seek the effectiveness of Gu art. (To be continued......)
