I was carried back to the village by the fat man, and he fainted. The villagers were so anxious that they were at a loss in the face of the unconscious of us, and finally decided to send the unconscious of us to the hospital in the provincial capital for treatment. And at this moment, it was really my great fortune and great creation, and my life should not be extinguished, and a sudden luck came unexpectedly and befell me.

Before, I was deceived into going to Yunnan to rob the tomb, but I was unfortunately calculated to be poisoned, when I met a man with a pair of cold eagle eyes holding a cigarette, calling himself a "cigarette man". The enemy he has been looking for is the old man of the Miao tribe who poisoned me, and as a result, by chance, he saved me by the way, and at that time, the acquaintance between them can be said to be very dramatic.

And today, in this remote mountain village in the northeast, the smoke man saved me by chance. It's really a child's mother--it's a long story, but to put it simply: it was the cigarette man who brought a few people to rob the tomb around here, and ended up living in this village in my hometown. All these things were told to me by the leper chief, and he was very excited to tell me the strangest things he had ever seen in his life.

When the smoke man saw my pale and unconscious appearance, he could tell at a glance that I had been poisoned by Gu, and it was a "grass Gu", a type of plant Gu. Later, I learned that Yannan was a Miao person, a descendant of the ancient Chinese secret art "Zhuyou Thirteen Branches", and was proficient in witch doctors. After he saw my condition, he said to everyone: After this Gu grass enters the human body, it will go through five steps in turn, such as rooting, germination, scattering leaves, flowering, and fruiting. Moreover, this grass Gu is a "bloodthirsty Gu" and is very vicious, living by sucking the essence and blood of the human body, and every time this Gu reaches the growth stage, it will frantically suck the essence and blood of the human body, making people feel pain, even more than once.

If someone can't resist the pain caused by the Gu poison and chooses to commit suicide, then, this Gu will not die, it will continue to control the function of the human body, turning the person into a living dead without perception, until all the nutrients in the host body are exhausted, and the melon can only stop when it is ripe.

At that time, the smoke man was very surprised when he inspected my wounds, this kind of "bloodthirsty grass Gu" has now been lost, and the reason for the loss is that the Gu poisons made of plants are all passive Gu poisons, and it is more troublesome to use them to harm people.

The explanation of "Gu" in "Shuowen" is: "The worm in the abdomen is also." "The original meaning is the worm in the human stomach. It's not about the parasites in the stomach, it's about the worms that eat into the stomach. In ancient times, a kind of witchcraft was popular, that is, "Gu art", it is said that in the land of Miaojiang today, there are still a few people raising Gu worms. Those who practice Gu art put hundreds of highly poisonous insects into a clay pot engraved with ancient scriptures, and then sealed the mouth of the jar with three layers of gauze, and then buried it in the ground. After a few years, the poisonous insects in the crockpot will attack each other and devour each other, until the only remaining poisonous insect remains, and the most poisonous insect is "Gu".

The Gu worms cultivated in ancient times were ten million times more poisonous than they are today, and if they were bitten, they would definitely die. With the passage of time, many Chinese secret techniques have disappeared in the long river of history, and the Gu worms cultivated by people now are far less than in the past. However, the current Gu poison is still extremely poisonous, and it can still bewitch and confuse people's hearts, so that those who are in the Gu can completely obey the orders of the Gu caster. If you can't meet someone who can detoxify the Gu poison, the Gu victim will only have a dead end.

The so-called grass Gu is to place the Gu worm eggs in the seeds of the plant, and once it enters the suitable host, it will begin to develop and grow, and apply Gu techniques to poison people invisibly. The plant Gu worm is to parasitize the Gu worm in the seed of the plant first, and then put it into the diet of the person being cast, the Gu poison will be eaten by the caster into the abdomen, and the grass Gu will be parasitic in the abdomen, and then grow from the navel, and then take root and sprout little by little to continue to grow. Because the grass Gu system is cumbersome, and the onset is slow, the growth period is long, and although the harmful effect is vicious, it cannot put people to death all at once, so it slowly withdrew from the stage of history very early.

The smoke man didn't expect that I had been poisoned by this rare Gu poison, and the location where the poisonous weed grew was also very peculiar, it was actually on the shoulder, not at the navel, so he knew that I didn't eat the food with Gu by mistake, and he didn't know that the Gu on my shoulder was caused by being bitten by a four-fingered grimaceous monkey.

After understanding the Gu poison in my place, the smoke man began to relieve the Gu poison for me, and his method of curing the Gu poison was according to the principle of the five elements of mutual growth and mutual restraint, first using a golden needle engraved with a spell to insert it into the Gu grass growing on my shoulder, and the Gu grass would slowly wither, because the grass was wood, and the Jin Ke wood. However, although the Gu grass on his shoulder has withered, this antidote to Gu poison is not over, and after the Gu grass has withered, he will burn the yellow fu to ashes, and then pour soup twice a day with the soup made from the pig's large intestine and pig lungs. This is because it is necessary to use gold food when it is golden to expel the residual poison of the woody Gu poison in the body.

The principle of the five elements of mutual growth and restraint is familiar to us in Taoism. "Zhu Youke" is a traditional Chinese medicine technique handed down from ancient times, but the treatment is not with ordinary herbs and acupuncture, but with some special and specific things, such as "Liang Shangchen", "Tile on the Frost", "Gravel Dew" and other medicines, combined with charms, in some specific times to heal the patient. Although Zhu Youshu also casts charms, it is completely different from Taoist charms, they are "qi injection charms", that is, a combination of charms, mantras and qigong to heal the source of the disease.

After listening to the leper talk about the process of my healing, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. This is the second time I've been poisoned, and both times I was unconscious, and I was unknowingly rescued by an unknown cigarette man. If you have the opportunity to meet him in the future, you must thank him for saving his life. Although the little brother Yannan has a pair of cold eagle eyes and an expressionless face like a stone statue, it can be seen from the unfamiliar stranger who rescued me twice that he is a good person.

I was thinking about my two Gu poison incidents, the first time I was poisoned in Yunnan, I was directly poisoned by someone, and I was deliberately put to death. But this time, he was bitten by a ghost-faced monkey and indirectly poisoned by the cup, from which it can be inferred that this grass Gu was originally parasitic in the body of the ghost-faced monkey, and when it encounters a suitable host, it will stimulate growth in the host.

However, what I don't understand is why this long-lost Gu poison will parasitize in the body of the Grimace Monkey, instead of taking the life of the Grimace Monkey. But when I think of the body and appearance of the grimace monkey, I don't think it's strange, maybe this strange and strange-looking monkey was parasitic on their body by someone Gu poison, the purpose is to protect the underground tomb where we only found the underground palace and the patio tunnel. And it is because of the parasitic Gu poison in the body, which has caused the monkey's face and habits to change, so it will be so hideous and bloodthirsty.

From the experience of hunting in the mountains this time, it can be clearly proved that there is an emperor-level tomb in the deep mountains and old forests of the hometown in the northeast. Moreover, the person who built the tomb was very proficient in ancient evil arts, or there were people around him who were proficient in secret arts, and layers of anti-theft measures were arranged on the periphery of the tomb. I was fortunate to survive this time, firstly, thanks to the smoke man who was proficient in Zhu Youshu, and secondly, I only accidentally broke into the periphery of the underground tomb, if it was close to the inner circle of the underground tomb, there would definitely be all kinds of witchcraft that would kill people every minute, and when the time came, several or even dozens of witchcraft would be stimulated together, even the Daluo Immortal would not escape death.

After thinking about the general course of the matter, I learned that the fat man who had fainted was fine, but he had been asleep for a few days and then woke up, and when he woke up, he learned that the smoke man and his group were going to enter the mountain, so he wanted to go with them, in order to go into the mountain again to find Yue'er's whereabouts. After the fat man made up his mind, he first called the master in the capital, and told us that we got lost and strayed into the old forest, so that we lost Yue'er's whole experience, and told the master that he would join others and go into the mountains to find Yue'er again.

At that time, although I was still in a coma, the Gu poison had almost been resolved, and as long as I drank the soup again every day to remove the residual poison, I could wake up. The methods and methods of pouring soup for me, the villagers are very well understood, it is not a difficult thing, and there is no need for the smoke man to continue to take care of me, so the fat man entrusted me who was still asleep to the leper boss to take care of them.

After the fat man explained the matter, he hurriedly led the cigarette man and his group into the mountain, and that was three days ago.

The master and Luo Dabeard, who were in the capital, were also so anxious that they couldn't sit still for a moment after learning the news of Yue'er's disappearance, and Uncle Luo almost vomited blood when he learned that Yue'er was lost, and immediately looked for something to rescue Yue'er. He specially hired a foreign professional "rescue team", but because he had to wait for the foreign search and rescue team to arrive, Master and Luo Dabeard delayed some time in the capital, and just arrived here today.

I looked at Luo's bearded haggard face, and said to him in a choked voice: "Uncle Luo, it's all because I failed to protect Yue'er, it's because I'm too incompetent and incompetent, you scold me, beat me out of anger!" ”

Luo Dabeard patted me on the shoulder and comforted me, saying, "Virtuous nephew, you can't be blamed for this, who would have thought that you just came out for a trip, but it was a big disaster." Your body hasn't recovered yet, so take a good rest and don't think too much about yourself. ”

I listened to Luo's bearded hoarse voice, holding back the tears from falling, my throat and eyes seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't say a word anymore.

Seeing that I was sad and blamed myself, Master also comforted me and said, "Xiaowen, don't think nonsense, take a good rest tonight, and early tomorrow morning, pack up your things and take us into the mountains to look for Yue'er." ”

As soon as Master's words fell, before I could nod my head in agreement, Luo Dabeard on the side spoke first: "Old Fang, you just let Sven stay at home and cultivate his body well, Gu poison is not a joke, it will take at least a week to eliminate all the toxins from his body." Even if Xiaowen has now eliminated the residual poison in his body, his body has been hollowed out, and he needs to rest and replenish his body at this time, with his current physical condition, he can no longer be allowed to go into the mountains to toss. ”

As soon as I heard that Luo Dabeard didn't let me go into the mountains to look for Yue'er, it was like burning my buttocks, so I hurriedly said to Luo Dabeard in an excited tone: "Uncle Luo, I'm fine now, my body is all good, and I won't cause you trouble and drag you back." I'm going to have to go into the mountains to find Yue'er's whereabouts, and if I'm told to stay in the village and wait for news, I'll go crazy. After saying that, I was afraid that he would not believe that I was cured, so I immediately jumped from the ground to the earthen kang and signaled to show him that my body was all right now.

After listening to me, the master saw my resolute attitude again, and said to Luo Dabeard: "How can there be a master who doesn't feel sorry for his apprentice." I know Xiaowen's child's temperament very well, his personality is both kind and dead-eyed, I am afraid that he will sneak into the mountain to find Yue'er after we leave, and then he will sneak into the mountain by himself, so that we will take him into the mountain together, so that there is a mutual care, so that he will not run into the mountain alone, which is more dangerous. Moreover, although Lao Luo, you invited a search and rescue team, but Sven has gone into the depths of the mountain, and he is familiar with the road to save time, so it is safer for him to be the team leader and take us into the mountains to find Yue'er. ”

After hearing this, Luo Dabeard couldn't refuse again, so he asked the foreign captain of the search and rescue team to come in. The leader of the search and rescue team was a typical American man named Locke, who was two heads taller than me, a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, full of tendons and flesh, and as muscular as a martial artist. Beside him was a blonde beauty who could speak fluent Chinese and was the translator and deputy leader of the search and rescue team.

When everyone arrived, we began to talk at night, repeatedly discussing what might happen after entering the mountain.

Although it is a preventive discussion, who can predict what kind of unexpected things will happen to that strange and mysterious old forest!
