Hearing Qian Cheng's speculation, the old ghost and I couldn't believe it. If this is really a snake Gu, how many poisonous animals do you have to foil it?

But the old ghost still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "This snake Gu ...... Except for the Yin Snake Gu and the Raw Snake Gu you just mentioned, isn't there anything else? Why don't I feel like to? ”

When Qian Cheng heard the old ghost ask, he smiled slightly and explained: "Some people in remote areas specialize in raising Gu to make money. Some of these people raise snake Gu, and some are lice Gu.

The snake Gu is on the fifth day of the fifth month of May (Dragon Boat Festival, the most yang energy), magnified, small snakes in the tile altar; And lice Gu is also made on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, gathering most of the lice.

These two Gu poisons can kill people, especially if lice Gu invades a person's abdomen, they will eat up the internal organs.

A person who is in the middle of a Gu will die if there is no medicine to cure it. The property of the dead was then moved into the Gu Master's home. After raising this kind of murderous Gu, the owner of the Gu must use the Gu to kill people continuously. Once a year, if you don't kill people with Gu at an interval of three years, the Gu Master himself will also die from Gu. ”

"So ruthless?" I asked.

"Hmm." Qian Cheng said, "Generally speaking, the most powerful snake Gu belongs to the Zhuang people.

The production of the Zhuang snake Gu is to choose to catch mice, butterflies, lizards, scorpions, centipedes, poisonous bees in the wild on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (the poisonous bacteria in the woods on the mountain decay into giant bees after rain, the whole body is black, the mouth is very sharp, about 3 cm long), wasps, blue snakes, white flower snakes, green snakes (cyan, often live in the grass or trees, also called bamboo leaf green), wind snake (with black spots, triangular head, also known as cobras), krait snake (commonly known as ' gold-clad iron', with yellow and black rings on the body) and many other poisonous animals. They are placed in a clay pot and let them bite and devour each other. Until the last one left alive.

Then suffocate and dry the last remaining live animal, add toadstools, mandala flowers and other plants and your own hair, grind them into powder, and make Gu medicine.

If the last remaining live animal is a snake, it is called a 'snake Gu'. Recite mantras, prostrate and perform a series of devotional activities. The day of Gu Cheng. It is very terrible to take it and harm others.

Although Gu seems to be a tangible thing on the surface, since ancient times, Gu has been considered a mysterious thing that can fly, change, glow, and come and go like a ghost.

The Gu Maker can use spells to remotely control the Gu worms, bringing various diseases to the target and even killing them. The ancients believed in the spell of poison Gu to cause disease. In medical books such as "Qianjin Fang" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", there are medical prescriptions for detailed analysis and treatment of the symptoms of Zhonggu.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: The person who creates the Gu catches a hundred insects and puts them in a vessel. The big ones eat the small ones. The last big insect that survived in the vessel was called 'Gu'. It can be seen that Gu was originally a medicine specializing in the treatment of poisonous sores.

Later, they were used to harm people. This makes a secret art gradually go downhill.

The person who released the Gu put the Gu into the food while others were not paying attention. After eating it, it will be infected with Gu poison, and people who are infected with Gu poison will suffer from a chronic disease. From a modern point of view. This is a man-made disease caused by the poison of many protozoa. ”

The old ghost heard Qian Cheng say this. Hurriedly interjected: "It seems that I must study the "Compendium of Materia Medica" when I go back!" ”

As soon as I heard the old ghost say this, I immediately sarcastically said, "Damn, there are too many books you said you want to read." Dare to ask, which time has it been realized? ”

The old ghost immediately retorted: "Damn, didn't Lao Tzu never go back?" If only it was safe to go back. Grandson doesn't look! ”

"Hey, grandson!" I took the opportunity to exclaim.

"Hey......" The old ghost didn't think about it, so he casually agreed. Immediately, I realized that I had taken advantage of me. Immediately scolded me: "Get out! ”

I leaned back with a smile as Toto and Lisa came to us. See us laughing. Just say, "What's so funny?" Say it, and we'll hear it! ”

The old ghost said, "A few of us big men are discussing the issue of Gu arts, you women don't intervene!" ”

"Cut!" Duoduo and Lisa said dismissively.

The old ghost ignored the two girls and said, "Then which one is the most poisonous in this Gu technique?" ”

"Of course it's the Golden Silkworm Gu!" Seeing the old ghost asking such a question, Qian Cheng said firmly: "The Golden Silkworm Gu is the most poisonous: The Golden Silkworm Gu was cultivated in remote areas of Sichuan Province, and gradually spread in Hunan and Fujian.

The skin of the silkworm planted with Gu is golden, and it is fed four inches of silk every day, and the feces it extricates are put in food, and those who swallow it will get sick and die.

Legend has it that this kind of Gu will make the person who raises it rich, and it will also cause disaster to the person who raises it, so it cannot be offended.

If you don't want to continue to make offerings to it, you should prepare a small box, put some gold, silver and silk, and put the golden silkworm Gu on the noodles. Then, put this small box on the side of the road and let others take the box away, which is called 'marrying the golden silkworm Gu'.

The Golden Silkworm Gu is very dangerous to the human body, it is like a corpse insect born on the corpse after death: after invading the human stomach, it will eat the human stomach. Its resistance is very strong, and it is said that it cannot die by drowning, fire, or slashing (see Compendium of Materia Medica). ”

"Damn, such an evil sect?" The old ghost was surprised.

"That's it!" Qian Cheng said, "Otherwise, how can it be called a 'foreign art'? Moreover, at noon on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the folk also have the behavior of 'gathering five poisons' and drinking realgar wine and rubbing realgar wine on the neck, all of which are intended to prevent sores in the Gu.

According to legend, in the countryside of Liyang County, Jiangsu Province, there were often people who fell into Gu in the early years. The local Zhulin Temple has a monk who can cure the nameless poison and makes a pill to treat Gu poison. At that time, the price of a pill was one silk horse, and it cured many patients who were in the middle of Gu.

Han Huang, who was an 'observer' in the local area, built a temple next to the hot spring in Liyang County in order to eradicate Gu poison, and asked the monk of Zhulin Temple who knew medicine to be the abbot to treat the Gu poison that occurred among the people, and asked the monk to publicly engrave the prescription on the stone tablet.

The prescription for this Gu cure is: take a newborn peach at the beginning of the fifth lunar month every year, grind its skin into fine powder, and the amount is two coins.

In addition, use the end of the cantharids for one penny, first fry them with wheat bran, and then use the last two coins of raw bracken. Mix these three flavors of medicinal rice soup together and knead them into balls as big as jujube pits. As long as a person in the Gu Dynasty takes this pill with rice soup, the poison will be eliminated immediately! ”

"Hey! You see, it seems that Jiangsu is full of talents! I said proudly, "As a native of Jiangsu, I don't even know this." What a shame, what a shame! ”

At this time, Duoduo squeezed over and asked Qian Cheng: "Brother, is this how the love poison came from?" (To be continued......)
