Chapter Thirty-Four: The Strange Southwest
The reason why I am so afraid of the word "Southwestern" is because I saw such an incident in my grandfather's pamphlet when I was very young.
One day, an official person came to the house, and he came to ask his grandfather to go somewhere in the southwest to help do something.
Of course, they couldn't let Grandpa go alone.
Instead, twenty-four members were selected for him.
These twenty-four team members are said to be the king of soldiers who are carefully selected from millions of teams in major military regions, and then selected through layers of selection!
Grandpa, as the leader, led them to the southwest.
Unexpectedly, I fell into danger by mistake and stepped into a deep mountain and dense forest!
There are trees that shade the sky, and there is no sunlight in sight, and there is a thick fog all around, and you can't see your fingers!
By the time they tried to get out, it was too late!
There were constant shouts of fear all around, hysterical calls for help!
My grandfather is a four-grade yin, with strong strength and keen intuition, he led the rest of the team to escape!
Enter a valley!
The valley was barren and rocky, and inside it was a swamp with a disgusting stench, but surprisingly there was a tree in the depths of the swamp!
The branches are luxuriant and radiate a holy luster!
At this time, there were only seven team members left on Grandpa's side, and two of his arms and legs had turned into white bones, as if they had been gnawed by wild beasts!
Seventeen kings of soldiers were lost at once, but they were all people who had experienced life and death, and had experienced war, so we could see how terrifying the dense forest was just now.
None of the rest of the team had ever seen anything so horrific!
There is panic and fear in his eyes!
The two team members also knew that their lives were in danger and that there was no way to save them, and they didn't want to drag down their comrades, so they cut themselves!
My grandfather was also heartbroken, but he couldn't do anything about it, he couldn't think of anything to save them.
It was also his first time in such a place.
After burying the two, they were caught in a dilemma.
Unknown swamps in front, hell on earth in the back!
Where do we go from here?
Just when they hesitate whether to move forward or backward!
Suddenly there was darkness in the heavens and the earth, and the wind was blowing!
Half an hour later, the wind stopped, and when everyone opened their eyes, there were many wild people in all directions!
Dress up in a colorful way!
Some people are crawling with spiders!
Some have a big python wrapped around their necks!
Some even wear hideous grimace masks, and they can't see their true faces!
Without any words, these savages attacked Grandpa and them!
Javelins, poison arrows, and locusts are generally unavoidable!
No matter how strong his skills are, his grandfather is invincible with two fists and four hands, so he finally had to take the only remaining team members along the same path back to that hellish place on earth.
- What happened after that, grandpa didn't write about it, and it was extremely terrifying to think about.
A few days later, the army was mobilized from above, and the unconscious grandfather was finally found in a mountain stream.
At this time, he was the only one left, not only was the mission not completed, but even the twenty-four heroic warriors were buried in that terrible place.
Grandpa rarely wrote down things, perhaps because this incident was too memorable and relieved, so he wrote it down in words.
I happened to see it, and I wondered what kind of place it was. It's so scary.
Driven by curiosity, I began to collect information about the southwest, and the two words I encountered the most were Gu poison and witchcraft.
I dug into them again and learned a lot.
First of all, Gu poison, there are many types of Gu poison, and the effect is not the same!
Some can make life worse than death, some can manipulate people, and some can make people reborn and change their appearance!
Gu poison arose in the era of the Yellow Emperor and was severely damaged in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Thousands of years!
In the era of the Yellow Emperor, how Gu poison arose, there is no way to verify now, only some myths and legends about it!
However, it is only a few words.
However, the Gu poison was hit hard, but it was recorded in great detail!
The cause and effect of the whole incident is also full of brutality, gore and mystery!
In the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of the prime minister Gongsun He, was arrogant and extravagant, did not respect the law, and the chivalrous Zhu Anshi wanted to kill him for the people, and was jealous of the prime minister's father and son, and was arrested everywhere.
Later, Gongsun Jingsheng was imprisoned for misappropriation of military funds!
Gongsun He atoned for his son's sins and caught Zhu Anshi!
Zhu Anshi exposed Gongsun Jingsheng in prison, saying that he had an affair with the princess for adultery, and buried puppeteers to curse Emperor Wu of Han!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, not only killed the father and son, but also exterminated them!
It also involves two princesses, as well as the son of the general Wei Qing!
It's not over, it's just beginning!
All kinds of warlocks, gods and witches gather in the capital master's land!
For a while, inside and outside the palace, Gu poison was everywhere, and witchcraft was rampant!
Because of the gap with the crown prince and the queen, the cool official Jiang Chong fabricated rumors that they wanted to kill Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and ordered Jiang Chong to investigate thoroughly!
The final result was that the crown prince was killed, the queen died, and tens of thousands of people from the emperor's relatives to the Li people were slaughtered!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just woke up, it turned out that everything was Jiang Chong's ghost behind his back!
not only killed Jiang Chong, but also destroyed his three clans!
This is the famous witch curse in history!
However, I found another version of the witchcraft curse in one of my grandfather's books.
Jiang Chong took the advantage of the Son of Heaven and his close ministers, and secretly poisoned Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Treat him like a puppeteer and control him!
Jiang Chong took the opportunity to get rid of the crown prince and queen who had been resentful of him for a long time, as well as the ministers who were not in harmony!
But he's not really behind it!
The real mastermind behind it is in the Southwest!
The southwest is a place where ethnic minorities are entrenched, and they do not practice indoctrination and do not submit to rule!
Not only do you want independence, but you also want to overthrow the Han Dynasty monarchy!
borrowed the chess piece Jiang Chong and stretched out his hand to the center of the Han Dynasty - the palace!
They think that as long as they control Emperor Wu of Han, they can succeed in their conspiracy!
But ignore one person!
Zhang liang!
Han Gaozu Liu Bang's strategist!
Guardian of the Han Dynasty!
After Liu Bang's death, Empress Lu took power, and Zhang Liang became a recluse!
The foundation of the Han Dynasty has his hard work!
When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was dying, he entrusted this splendid country to him!
How could he bear to watch the great cause of the dynasty be destroyed, swords and soldiers rose everywhere, and lives were ruined?
So he appeared in the palace and cured the Gu poison on Emperor Wu of Han with his own blood!
- At that time, I was very unimpressed, can human blood have such great energy?
Now that I think about it, I think it's normal to be sparse.
He was a warlock, and a demi-saint.
The blood of the demi-saint is definitely not ordinary, not to mention the earth-shattering power it contains, and it is holy and immaculate, it is almost the same.
Zhang Liang cured Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and explained to him the key points!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed Jiang Chong and exterminated his three clans!
And his anti-party!
At that time, Southwest Baiyi was already ready to move, and it was possible to attack the city at any time!
It stands to reason that the armies of the Han Dynasty are all battle-hardened elite divisions, and it is easy to destroy them!
However, the Southwest Baiyi is all Gu raised, and they are proficient in the witchcraft of driving away and manipulating poisonous insects!
It can be said that you can destroy the city and kill the enemy without spending a single soldier!
At the moment when the tension is tight, a single spark can cause a huge explosion.
Suddenly, the heavenly fire fell to the southwest, and Baiyi suddenly fell into a sea of fire!
Tianhuo is from Zhang Liang's hand!
He used magic to refine the talisman seal and invited the heavenly fire!
Zhang Liang's intention was to permanently eliminate hidden dangers for the Han Dynasty!
I never thought that not long after the fire burned, a heavy rain suddenly came!
Zhang Liangdeng woke up at the time: Heaven has a spirit, all things have a reason for survival, kill them all, hurt the heavens and peace, and he will be punished by God one day!
And so it stopped.
Since then, Gu poison and witchcraft have cowered in the southwest as if they had been banned.
As for the place where my grandfather once went, I asked him, but I didn't expect to be reprimanded by him, saying that my child didn't study hard and was just thinking nonsense, and he punished me for copying texts, but this did not extinguish my curiosity.
Later, after looking up a lot of information, I finally determined that the place where my grandfather had gone was very likely to be Xiling.
The land of Xiling has been a wild land since ancient times, with mountains and swamps, dense forests and mountains, poisonous gases, and the four seasons do not disperse!
Legend has it that a tribe called Li, raising a hundred poisons, refining poisonous gas, ruling the Quartet, and deterring all tribes!
After thousands of years, the five giant Gu were finally cultivated.
They are the jade toad, the golden centipede, the barefoot snake, the black spider, and the silver hook scorpion!
They also selected 10,000 barbarian warriors, competed in martial arts, and the winner was selected, and finally selected ten people to endure the suffering of the five poisons!
Refining the five poisonous qi, I want to create the body of the poisonous saint.
It seems that this Baiquan Mountain is a certain mountain in the land of Xiling.
How can I not be scared and not be afraid?
I asked Ma Xiaoling, "Do you know where this Baiquan Mountain is in the southwest?" ”
Ma Xiaoling thought for a while and said, "It seems to be in Xiling, what's wrong?" ”
I yelled, "Damn, what's wrong with you?" Don't you know that there is poison everywhere, and everyone knows witchcraft? And very repulsive to outsiders, do you know all this? ”
I really doubt that the girl in front of her has a rusty brain? Or did she simply not understand what the southwest was?
After thinking about it, I think it's still the first one, the reason is that she is from a family of warlocks, how can she not know what the southwest is?
Ma Xiaoling said in a deep voice: "If I go alone, hehe, I won't go to kill me, our ancestor of the Ma family has a saying, I'd rather offend the saint than enter Xiling!" But fortunately, with you, with you opening the way, it will be unimpeded and unscathed. ”
I looked at her with a frown, thinking to myself that she wouldn't have any bad ideas to hit me again, right?
If that's the case, what kind of jade corpse mound, I really won't go.
So he said angrily: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, let it go if you have a fart, hurry up." ”
Ma Xiaoling said angrily: "Can you be a big boy with a clean mouth?" Hmph··· Let me tell you the truth, your blood can restrain those poisons, and even some witchcraft can't work on you, are you still afraid? ”
