In addition to serving devotedly every day, the Gu cultivators have to make a grand sacrifice to the Gu on the 24th day of June in the summer calendar every year. This ritual lasts for three days, that is, on the 24th, 25th, and 26th, during these three days, the master should cook a fresh pig, a chicken, and a sheep every day, and when the stars are in the sky at night, the whole family will move the pigs, sheep and chickens into the secret room where the Gu is raised, and prostrate and pray, and after the prayer is completed, the pigs, sheep and chickens will be chopped up and thrown into the tank. It is said that Gu eats a lot of food and has a high magic power. During the festival, outsiders are not allowed to participate, and the news must not be leaked, otherwise there is a danger to the life of the family. In addition to the method of polyinsect biting each other, various special poisonous Gu have special manufacturing methods.

Crazy Gu: Most of them are done by people in the mountains, taking snakes into the soil and taking fungi to poison people.

Cuo Gu: also known as "putting eggs", more tune of "barren", "bees", people in the two Guangdong, good for this, the method is the Dragon Boat Festival, take centipedes and small snakes, ants, cicadas, roundworms, hair, etc. into powder, put in front of the statue of the five plagues engraved in the room or box, worship for a long time, it becomes poison.

Lizard Gu and □ Mantis Gu: Lizard Gu is lizard Gu, which may refer to the lizard that survives only after the insects eat each other, and it is said that the lizard Gu patients have symptoms such as yellow complexion, heavy waist and back, and swelling on the tongue; □Mantis Gu" is green in color, and it is poisonous and spits out like □ mantis. ”

Both cases are relatively rare in the literature.

What is Gu: It is a kind of witchcraft that uses poisonous insects to harm people. It is an ancient, mysterious, and terrifying form of witchcraft, which is mainly prevalent in various parts of southern China and some ethnic minorities. Gu, from the glyph, is to put many insects in one container. Kong Yingda's "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics" said: "Those who use poison to medicine people, and people don't know it, are called Gu poison in today's law." "Compendium of Materia Medica" is explained as a kind of poisonous insect fed by people, "take a hundred insects into Weng, after years of opening, there will be a worm to eat all the insects, this is called Gu." The production and type of Gu: Most of the Gu accumulators are women, and they are women's specialty. "Yunnan Magazine": "Yunnan people accumulate Gu... People fight for hiding, children worry about what they eat, and Gu keepers don't be a secret room, so that the woman feeds it, and when she sees a man, she will be defeated, and she will be gathered by pure yin. "Zhou Qufei's "Lingwai Answer": Gu poison is "a woman-shaped hair night sacrifice", and "Yunnan New Language": It is pleasing to Yi women. There are many types of Gu, usually including: Golden Silkworm Gu, Chancre Gu, Mad Gu, Swollen Gu, Loach Gu, Stone Gu, Slice Gu, Snake Gu, and so on. Among them, the Golden Silkworm Gu was the most vicious. In the old days, in some counties and townships in Fujian, the superstitious activities of raising golden silkworms were more prevalent. It is said that the golden silkworm is an invisible insect spirit, it can do things for people, the most diligent in hygiene, and the people who are very clean in the room are considered to be the people who raise the golden silkworm. The production method of the golden silkworm is to select 12 kinds of poisonous insects such as snakes and centipedes, bury them at the crossroads, and take them out and store them in the incense burner after 49 days to become the golden silkworm. In the minds of those who believe in the golden silkworm, the golden silkworm is spiritual, which can make the breeder rich, but the owner of the rich family must also tell the golden silkworm how much it owes, otherwise the golden silkworm will ask to spend money to buy people to eat it, otherwise it will be troublesome. If the family of raising golden silkworms does not want to raise it anymore, they can pass it on, called "marrying golden silkworms", the method is to use silver taels, pollen and incense ashes, put them on the road, and those who are greedy for money will naturally pick them up. The golden silkworm can cause death to the enemy, usually by abdominal swelling and bleeding from the seven orifices. Chancre Gu, also known as "putting eggs, putting chancre, and putting bees", is popular among the folk in Guangdong and Guangxi. The production method is to catch centipedes, small snakes, worms, ants, poisonous bees, cicadas, earthworms, etc. on the Dragon Boat Festival day and add hair, dry and grind into powder, and worship in front of the statue of the plague god. Epilepsy hub is popular among the Miao people, and snakes are mostly buried in the soil with posterior fungi to harm people into madness; Swollen Gu makes the abdomen swollen; Loach Gu is soaked in loaches with Gu powder and bamboo leaves to eat with people to poison them; As for the stone Gu and the sliced Gu are all brewed with Gu medicine, they are placed in the middle of the road to harm people, and it is said that they can enter the human body and cause evil diseases.

The method of applying Gu is mostly to put it in food: Gu girl Shi Gu is mostly placed in the meal, "Chiya": "Gu Cheng is put in the food first, and the flavor increases a hundred times", and it is mostly placed on the first piece of food. Some of the lower Gu are the worms themselves, the advantages are the feces of the worms, and some are saliva foam. Sometimes Gu can also be applied without food. Liu Nan's "Miao Huang Xiaoji": "Miao's Gu poison is terrifying, and its Gu release does not need special food, and anyone who is angry and looks at it can pass on its poison to people; Those who use food, and those who use Gu are also. ”

Symptoms and verification methods of Gu patients: Liu Xifan "Gu people, or throat swelling, can not swallow; or the face is green and yellow, and the day is barren; or there is a buildup in the chest, coughing; or chest and abdomen distension and numbness of the limbs; or a few days, or months." Verification method: It can be made to chew raw soybeans, no fishy smell is in the Gu, in ethnic minority areas is to contain a piece of duck protein in the mouth, insert a silver needle on it, if the duck protein and silver needle turn black, then in the Gu. Methods of prevention and reconciliation of Gu: All cobwebs and dust homes are suspected to be Gu homes, and they should not be contacted; For those who eat such as the master first knocks the cup and bowl with chopsticks, and then serves the rice, it is suspected to be Shi Gu, and you should be especially careful not to eat or break the road; Anyone who goes out to eat, carry garlic with him, it can prevent Gu, Gu is difficult to cure when he enters alcohol, and he can prevent Gu if he goes out without drinking. The method of detoxifying Gu and breaking Gu: take realgar, garlic, calamus decoction water, or pomegranate root water, which can be laxative; Youyun golden silkworm is most afraid of thorns, and it can be used to treat Gu. Most of the old medical books have medical Gu home remedies, and there are all kinds of them. The method of breaking the Gu: The road is broken, in the autumn, the Miao women carry cloth bags to sell prickly pears for children to eat, many Gu people, for a long time for the group to see through, when buying, first call and ask: Is there a Gu? Answer: No, it is not harmful. It is then available for purchase. In addition, it is said that Gu is afraid of saying, and it is said to be in the home of raising Gu, and its Gu is immediately captured. The purpose of releasing Gu is mostly to dissipate grievances, and sometimes it is also used as a protective measure, some people are afraid that others will steal food, so they will release Gu, and the thief will be killed immediately, on the contrary, "Those who kill a lot of people will benefit the spirit of Gu." ”

Tang Yi nodded lightly and said: "It's all that hateful old bald donkey, if it weren't for him, how would the little girl know, if it weren't for him, the "Guanghan Cheats" would not have fallen into the rivers and lakes, and the little girl would not still be guarding the wall in the Tang Family Fort!" Lu Shuang heard what Tang Yi said bitterly, and seemed to feel in her heart, sighed softly, and said, "How can a monk have such a vicious heart? Tang Yi continued: "After I gave birth to the black silkworm Gu poison for that beast, I only waited for him to be tortured before I could let him die, who knew that all this was destroyed by the dead bald donkey!" Lu Shuang heard Tang Yi say so ferocious, he was stunned for a while, and said gloomily: "Although that kid shouldn't have abandoned the eldest lady, but let him be so poisoned in the world, don't you think about it?" Tang Yi heard Lu Shuang's tone of voice quite strange that he was cruel, he glanced at Lu Shuang, and suddenly laughed and said: "Life in the world, just kill if you want to kill, the county lord is the person in charge of military affairs, how can he have a benevolent heart, you must know that you are as kind and soft-hearted, how can you do great things, since ancient times, that hero who has achieved great things is not an instant decision, he wants to kill and kill, and he treats his enemies even more to kill and kill, not to mention your enemies, even your own parents, wives and children, sometimes you can't take care of it?" I gasped when I heard it on the tree, and said secretly: "This person is the head of a dignified faction, and he can be so cruel, it seems that you should be careful when you encounter this person in the future!" But I heard Lu Shuang say leisurely: "Achieving great things, I Lu Shuang didn't even think about it, and said that I can command the heroes, and I may be able to charge into battle, but to govern the country and make the world peaceful, this is definitely not what I can!" Tang Yi was surprised: "That? Lu Shuang was stunned for a while, and said gloomily: "I just want to help my father fulfill his dream!" Tang Yi hurriedly said: "But? Lu Shuang seemed to know what Tang Yi wanted to say, and hurriedly smiled and said, "After talking for a long time, I don't know how the eldest lady knew that you used the black silkworm Gu poison on that kid?" Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said: "I'm ashamed, that hateful monk has been living in Tangjiabao since he was rescued by me, he is grateful that I have saved his life, and he is usually extremely respectful to me, I see that he is a monk who usually follows the rules and is honest, and he is not like a treacherous person, so he has great trust in him on weekdays, but I didn't expect it?" Lu Shuang said: "The reason why the eldest lady knows that you went to find that kid to take revenge was because the monk Juexiao told you?" ”

Tang Yi nodded and said: "Yes, I was very angry after knowing that the beast abandoned Ying'er, I wanted to break the beast into pieces, but I didn't know where the kid went for a while, and I was very angry when I thought about it, and I decided to go to the kid alone to take revenge, and I couldn't let people know!" Lu Shuang was puzzled: "Why is this, it was that kid who lived up to Miss Tang's love, as a father, it is reasonable for you to ask that kid for an explanation, is there anything wrong?" Tang Yi said: "This is not bad, but Ying'er should not publicize it at that time!" Lu Shuang's eyes widened and said, "Why is this?" "I saw what Tang Yi said vaguely, and I knew that it might not be a trivial matter to smash it at this time. I was afraid that I would miss it, so I hurriedly collected my mind and listened attentively. I only heard Tang Yi's voice sigh a little sadly: "At that time, Ying'er was already two months pregnant!" Lu Shuang said: "The eldest lady and that kid are already in love, and they can naturally have children when they get married, and it doesn't matter if they are pregnant?" Tang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "The bad thing is that they haven't gotten married yet!" Lu Shuang seemed to feel a little incredible, and was slightly stunned before she said loudly: "How can there be a child if you don't get married, isn't a child only after the two people who love each other get married?" Tang Yi's face turned red, and he said with some hesitation: "This? Lu Shuang saw that Tang Yi's face was flushed, and said puzzledly: "How could the eldest lady have a child without getting married?" Did she marry another man before she fell in love with that kid? Tang Yi's face turned slightly angry, and said: "Of course not, how can my dignified eldest lady of Tang Jiabao be this woman who corrupts the family style?" Lu Shuang saw that Tang Yi's face was full of anger, and she knew that her words just now were too heavy, so she hurriedly said: "No, no, Miss Tang is naturally a woman who is clear and jade, but she ...... It's just that? Tang Yi saw the horror on Lu Shuang's face, knowing that it was an unintentional mistake just now, and he didn't care about it at the moment, so he sighed and said, "It's just that how can you get pregnant, right?" Lu Shuang was afraid that she would say the wrong thing again, so she hurriedly kept silent, seeing Tang Yi asking her, and afraid that she would be disrespectful if she didn't answer, she nodded hurriedly in a hurry. Tang Yi continued: "Although Ying'er is not married, the child in her belly is indeed that little beast!" Lu Shuang felt more and more incredible, and said with a hesitant face: "Why didn't the eldest lady marry that kid, how could she have that kid's flesh and blood?" Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Shuang with an incredulous face, as if he was looking to see if what Lu Shuang said was true, and when he saw Lu Shuang's innocent face, he suddenly realized, and muttered in his mouth: "Damn, I forgot!" Lu Shuang saw the look on Tang Yi's face and became relieved, and he was puzzled. Hurriedly said: "Lord Tang Castle, what have you forgotten?" Tang Yi smiled and said, "Oh, nothing! Lu Shuang saw Tang Yi's strange face and knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, Castle Master, did I say the wrong thing!" Tang Yi hurriedly said: "Oh, no, no, it's just that I want to ask the county lord, where is Lingtang now?" I sneered and sighed to myself: "This Tang Yi is really cunning, and he has already guessed in his heart that Lu Shuang's mother is no longer alive, but in the uncertain situation, it is still a temptation!" But I heard Lu Shuang say: "I...... I...... Mom died early! After speaking, his eyes were slightly red. Tang Yi muttered, "No wonder? Lu Shuang wiped the tears from her eyes when she heard this, and asked, "What's the wonder?" Tang Yi smiled and said, "No wonder the county lord still doesn't know about the boudoir!" Lu Shuang was puzzled and said: "What happened in the boudoir? Tang Yi nodded and said, "Can the county lord tell me how Ling Tang was born?" Lu Shuang said puzzledly: "Does this have anything to do with the matter in the boudoir?" Tang Yi smiled and nodded, "Yes!" Lu Shuang said 'oh': "My mother died shortly after giving birth to me, and it seems to be a difficult birth to hear my father say!" Tang Yi nodded and said, "Oh, I see, then you were raised by the prince?" Lu Shuang nodded and said, "I have followed my father since I was a child, and my father said that I was his sweetheart." What's wrong with Lord Tangburg? Tang Yi hurriedly said: "Oh, no, the old man just wants to figure out one thing!" Lu Shuang said: "Then do you understand?" Tang Yi nodded and said, "Understood!" "It turns out that when Lu Shuang's mother was born Lu Shuang, it was difficult to die. She was raised by her father since she was a child, and her father was the prince, and he was extremely strict about the affairs of men and women in the palace, so although Lu Shuang was not the county lord, she had never heard anyone talk about the affairs of men and women in the boudoir, in her memory, the thing between men and women was that the two of them fell in love together, and they did not have to be separated, these are the things of men and women in the boudoir in her opinion, and she didn't know why Tang Ying would have a child without getting married! Seeing that Tang Yi had made it clear, Lu Shuang had some doubts in his heart, and said, "Castle Master, what do you understand?" Tang Yi smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, you will understand in the future!" Lu Shuang's face was confused, and he muttered, "Really? After a while, he remembered Tang Ying's matter, and hurriedly said, "Lord Tangbao, are you still telling me why the eldest lady has a child before she gets married?" Doesn't this child need to be married? I almost laughed when I heard Lu Shuang's childish question from the tree, and hurriedly covered my mouth. Tang Yi's face was slightly red, and he hesitated for a while before he said weakly: "This...... This, wait for the county lord to know about the candle night in the cave room in the future! Lu Shuang seemed to understand a little, her face turned red, and she suddenly pouted and smiled: "If you don't say it, forget it, I'll ask my Tianyou brother in the future, he is very good to me, and he will definitely tell me!" "I was stunned when I heard this, and then I looked at her delicate and innocent appearance, and I didn't know why there was more tenderness in my heart, if I hadn't seen her hurt Sun Fei and the others with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that she was the one who wanted to engage in a conspiracy!" Tang Yi was relieved to see that Lu Shuang no longer asked this question, exhaled, and said, "It seems that your Tianyou brother is not bad for you, I hope you can fly like wings, don't think like my Ying'er!" Lu Shuang nodded, and looked at my tree with his eyes!
