Chapter 12: You and Me in the Story
After searching for two days, Ah Luo was finally found, but when the corpse, which had almost been soaked twice as much as the river, was carried over, even Ah Luo's parents couldn't believe that it was actually their own son, and the future that the entire tribe was looking forward to!
However, it is absolutely impossible for the people seeking Gu in the tribe to go wrong, this corpse is indeed Aro's, although everyone is a little unacceptable to this scene, but they still acquiesce to this fact.
The elders, Gu girls, and all the clansmen in the tribe had gloomy expressions and were terrifyingly heavy, and the younger generation was even more standing aside, and they didn't dare to come out.
Zhang Shuqian also stood aside, looking at A Luo's corpse, her face was expressionless, she didn't see joy and sorrow, she even looked down on her own life and death, let alone the life and death of other people?
Even if this person is to save himself, he refined his natal Gu with the essence blood of his whole body and then implanted it in his body, Ah Luo is really sincere to himself, but Zhang Shuqian herself wants to laugh, she knows that she seems to be crying at this time, the more sad she cryes, the more it is in line with common sense, and the more in line with the plot exhibition that people around her want to see, but Zhang Shuqian can't cry, she even wants to laugh, because she knows that she can't die, because she already has a natal Gu, and this natal Gu, because of Ah Luo's sacrifice of himself, he has a higher level and more room for growth than Ah Luo's own natal Gu, which also means that his future will also surpass Ah Luo all of a sudden!
It can be said that it was Luo Luo's stupid care and infatuation with Zhang Shuqian that created the current situation, for Luo Luo, Zhang Shuqian is very grateful, he has always taken care of himself, like an older brother. But he didn't ask for a penny from himself, and the red that fell on his bed in the morning was actually Ah Luo's natal Gu, which was caused by Guò's own lower body and directly into his body, not that Ah Luo asked for his body.
What a fool.
Zhang Shuqian sighed in her heart. Immediately, her gaze met the patriarch, the Gu girl, and the elders, and they looked at them with a clear disgust in their eyes, because if it wasn't for her, Ah Luo would not die, but they couldn't help Zhang Shuqian, otherwise Ah Luo's death would be completely worthless.
And the potential of the Concentric Desperate Gu. If it is unfolded and thoroughly cultivated, for the entire tribe and even for the entire Miao Jiang, it is equivalent to another big killing weapon! Of course, this kind of Gu is too difficult to cultivate, and it first requires a young Gu person with extremely high talent to use the essence blood of his whole body to catalyze the same young Gu worm in his body. Then he willingly continued to appease his own Gu worm into another person's body, so that the other party had this concentric Desperate Gu. This is a kind of gambling, a big gamble, and no Miao tribe can afford to gamble, because an extremely talented Gu person symbolizes the future of the tribe, which tribe dares to risk its own future? And what Gu person would willingly give his natal Gu and his life to another person?
And you know, this kind of thing can't be forced. Once I have any reluctance, I will sense the natal Gu and directly cause chaos in the new owner's body, and finally end up killing both.
If nothing else, Zhang Shuqian. With her natal Gu, she will become the next generation of tribal Gu girls, the spiritual leader of the entire Miao Jiang Gu world, and the link between the central power to connect Gu people.
……
"When I was a child, I often heard people say that there is a kind of "sticky medicine" in the countryside, which is used by women, and if it is placed on any man, the man will be desperate for the woman who puts the medicine for the rest of his life. It is also said that there is a mysterious place in this "sticky medicine", which can be controlled by women, and the range of men's travel is stipulated. There are also gentler ones, who are out of the five miles, and they especially think about this woman who put the medicine, and immediately rush back until they see this woman.
It is also said that now in some remote villages, when the market is rushing, a woman takes out an umbrella and hooks a man she likes, and the man loses his soul and goes with her, and he will not change his mind for the rest of his life. I guessed that there must have been "sticky medicine" on the hook of this umbrella. So sometimes when I go to the countryside for work, my heart is still hanging, and I am worried that an umbrella will come from behind me and hook my soul and body away. ”
Walking out of the movie theater, Ah Luo danced to Zhang Shuqian and said, because of the movie I watched just now, there is a plot in it that uses Gu, so Ah Luo talked about these hearsay stories when he was a child, which is also very appropriate.
Only Zhang Shuqian, who was standing next to A Luo, showed a smile on the corner of her mouth, once upon a time, in her experience, this man had a Gu talent that was the envy of all the young people in Miao Jiang, and in this world, he was just an ordinary clerk, and he had no chance to come into contact with Gu worms, nor had he been to Miao Jiang.
"Hey, do you want me to give you this Gu?" Zhang Shuqian pretended to look at A Luo playfully.
"It's okay, if you give me Gu, I will never leave you in my life." A Luo laughed innocently, just like when he sent wine to Zhang Shuqian that night, he also sent his natal Gu.
The two of them waited for the bus in front of the platform, and after getting on the bus, Ah Luo and Zhang Shuqian sat together, Ah Luo held Zhang Shuqian's hand, they were about to get married, and the new house was bought, and the loan was bought.
Zhang Shuqian suddenly turned her head and looked at A Luo: "Do you know how Miao Jiang's Gu technique came about?" ”
"How could I possibly know, how, you know?" Arrow asked rhetorically.
Zhang Shuqian nodded, it is your hometown and your hometown.
"Then it's okay for you to sue me." A Luo also thought that his girlfriend, or his fiancée, had seen some descriptions of this from a book or magazine, and wanted to show it in front of him, but he didn't know that what Zhang Shuqian was going to say was her and his own biological experience in the past, and that was not a story, because there could be no one in the story.
Zhang Shuqian glanced at A Luo's eyes, then spoke, and said slowly:
"Miaojiang refers to the southwest of China, including Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Chongqing, Guangxi and other provinces and cities." The word "Xiangxi" has three concepts, one is the concept of geographical location, which refers to the western part of Hunan. The Yuanshui Lishui Basin includes Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Huaihua City, Zhangjiajie City, and Changde City. In ancient times, it was called "Miao Jiang" and was a place where Miao and other ethnic minorities lived. This is the hinterland of China's big 6, with Dongting in the east, Chuangui in the west, and Guangxi in the south. There are many hills and few flat land, the mountains are undulating, the terrain is dangerous, and it has been an important border fortress since ancient times.
In the history of Xiangxi, there was a Tusi Dynasty that existed for 800 years, and it practiced a very cruel feudal serfdom. The common people are oppressed, and the fate of women is more bitter than that of men, and they have no rights to life. Women in Xiangxi are forced to take measures to protect themselves for the minimum right to live. They hunted dozens of smaller, poisonous animals from the mountains. Put them together in a bucket and cover them with a lid and don't feed them, leaving the last of the largest animals. The remaining largest animal has the poison of dozens of poisonous small animals all over its body, becoming highly poisonous animals, which are dried and ground into powder by people and stored in bottles, which is "Gu poison". If a woman in Xiangxi is violated. That is, quietly pouring the Gu poison hidden in the nails into the enemy's teacup, wine cup or meal, or water tank, that is, "releasing Gu". Only those who release Gu have a unique antidote. After liberation, this custom has ceased to flourish.
Xiangxi's "Gu Technique" and Thailand's "Head Lowering Technique" are known as the two major evil arts in Southeast Asia. Xiangxi's Gu technique is the same as Xiangxi's corpse chasing. Until now, it has not been possible to point out the true state of it. Different from the corpse, Gu release is almost all left in Xiangxi, and the corpse is mainly spread in the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi, and Lipu in Xiangxi. Gu is commonly known as "grass ghost" in Xiangxi, and according to legend, it is only attached to women, dangerous to others. Those so-called women with Gu are called "grass ghost women".
The so-called Gu release method and what the Gu looks like. Except for the saying that has been passed down from generation to generation, no one has ever seen it, but the weight is different from place to place.
In the conceptual world of the Miao people, Gu has snake Gu, frog Gu, ant Gu, and so on. Gu multiplied a lot on people who had Gu. If you can't find something to eat, you will attack the Gu person himself, ask for food, make the Gu master uncomfortable, and let the Gu out to endanger others.
In fact, this kind of formidable Gu is not the patent of the Miao people. Gu art has long been widely spread in the Jiangnan region of ancient China. Originally, Gu refers to insects born in utensils, and later, moths and other objects born after grains deteriorate are also called Gu. The ancients believed that Gu had mysterious properties and great toxicity, so it was also called poisonous Gu, which could enter the human body through guò diet and cause diseases. The patient seems to be bewitched by a ghost and is delirious. Most of the pre-Qin people mentioned Gu worms referred to naturally occurring mysterious poisonous insects. The long-term poisonous Gu superstition also shows the concepts and practices of Gu makers. According to scholars' research, during the Warring States Period, people in the Central Plains had already used and taught the method of creating Gu and harming people.
The Miao people are located in many remote areas, and in the old days, medicine was backward, and many diseases could not be effectively treated. Therefore, every time the medical treatment is ineffective, it is often blamed on Gu. With the popularization of scientific and cultural knowledge in the Miao area and the improvement of the medical level, the influence of Gu superstition in the Miao area is now getting smaller and smaller.
Putting Gu, in Xiangxi Miao District, is a woman's patent, called Gu Po. Although no one can come up with concrete evidence, outsiders and even locals are convinced of Gu Po's existence, and there is even a saying that "no Gu can not be a village". A certain poor and ragged elderly woman was pointed and pointed by the villagers and recognized as a Gu woman, and she couldn't turn over for a lifetime, and finally died of old age and illness in poverty, the reason may be that a child who ate a piece of her sweet glutinous rice cake came home many years ago and died of an inexplicable illness, so it was determined that she put Gu in the food. There are many miasma in the seedling field, many poisonous insects, and there are not a few people who die suddenly inexplicably, so Gu Po has a solid foundation for making something out of nothing in the gossip. For travelers from outside the mountains, the mystery and horror of Gu are even more irritating to people's nerves.
It is rumored that many of the Gu women are young women, living alone, if they fancy a foreigner, they will put Gu in the tea he drinks, and the stranger then got a strange disease, and he couldn't go from hotel to inn, and it was useless to delay the doctor and ask for medicine. Gu Po used this to control this unlucky offspring and honestly kept him by her side. The role of releasing Gu is not all about taking people's lives, but also for controlling and blackmailing people, which may be a more frightening thing than death.
This kind of Gu is a woman who catches a very poisonous insect in the mountains, sometimes a centipede, sometimes a scorpion, and goes home and feeds it with her own menstrual blood in a crockpot, and recites spells and casts spells on it every day. After being raised, the poisonous insect is extremely fat, baked and ground into powder, hidden in the nails, and flicked to people's tea bowls very secretly, and the Gu is put away. It is said that the technique of this bullet is also very particular, with one finger bullet and two finger bullets, and the symptoms of the poisoned person are mild and can be cured; And the Gu released by the three or four fingers is very sinister, it is an incurable disease, and the one in it will die. Of course, Gu Po can solve it herself, and her own Gu Po can solve it by herself, even if she asks for other Gu Po, it won't help.
Walking in the Miao family cottage surrounded by mountains and green water in Xiangxi, looking at the old mills, the stone steps that have been polished by the feet, the mossy wooden walls and black tiles, the skinny dogs, and the dirty children, the huge waterwheel that rises abruptly on the ground of the big river valley creaks and turns, seems to be overwhelmed, but it has been running smoothly for hundreds of years. After watching it for a long time, people become obsessed, and it seems that every thing can tempt people, making the traveler's footsteps stagnant, and he just wants to stop and blend into the slow rhythm. Deep down, I may be really looking forward to meeting Gu Po, and I can't tell you clearly.
The smoke of the cottage rises, the grass and trees in the mountains seem to be "demagoguery", a Miao woman glanced at you, and also made your heart move for a long time, next to a mother-in-law with long nails, your scalp is numb but you don't know how to avoid it, and your legs and feet don't look like your own. You drank a bowl of tea, and your mind was trying to figure out if the person who served the tea had a small movement of his fingers, but his mind was completely blank. There are people shouting in the paddy fields, and the cowbells are gradually moving away, just think about it. The small people of the city are forever helpless in the face of the long years. ”
Zhang Shuqian's narration, half-truths and half-truths, is secretive, but it is enough to make A Luo feel horrified, where is this something that can be known by casually reading some information from magazines?
"Qianqian, how do you know so much?"
"I said that I am the Gu girl of the contemporary Miao Jiang, the leader of all the Gu women of the Miao Village, do you believe it?"
Zhang Shuqian raised her hand, and a centipede that appeared out of nowhere lay directly into Zhang Shuqian's palm. (To be continued!)
