Chapter 117: Gu Po
"Altar?" Hearing Zhang Tun's words, Chen Long and I touched it lightly, and when the three of them walked to the range where they could see, they clearly saw that the place where the fire was lit was indeed an altar as Zhang Tun said, and there were about hundreds of people with torches surrounding the altar.
"Huh?! What did the man who was tied up on top do? After a closer look, I saw an old woman in rags tied to a stake in front of the altar.
"This ...... I don't know what kind of ceremony it should be done by the local seedlings...... "Seedlings like this kind of gathering are generally not allowed to participate in outsiders, although Zhang Tun grew up in Xiangxi, but this is the first time I have seen it."
"That's not right! Could it be that they want to burn that old woman?! Chen Long frowned, but saw that those local seedlings were carrying bundles of wood and fire one after another and placing them around the old woman, which ...... This is obviously a fire to burn the old woman alive!
"Are they going to make a sacrifice of life? Can...... But that's not quite right! I remember that in this witch wind, the living sacrifices are basically taken by boys and girls, where is the use of old women?! I shook my head and whispered.
As a policeman, Chen Long couldn't stand it anymore, only to see him say: "Whether it is a boy or a girl, what age is this, how can you still use a living person to do this kind of French style!" No, we have to stop them! After saying this, Chen Long ignored Zhang Tun's and Zhang Tun's persuasion, and strode towards the altar.
Seeing this, Zhang Tun said anxiously: "Brother Zhao, look at this...... What are we going to do now?! I gritted my teeth, pulled Zhang Tun to follow Chen Long, and said, "What the hell can I do, follow!" ”
As Long Chen strode out of the forest, he shouted loudly, "Stop!" Hearing this shout, everyone present looked at us three uninvited guests who suddenly appeared in surprise, but Chen Long ignored everyone's strange gazes and said, "What are you doing here, don't you put down the old man above, do you know that you are breaking the law!" ”
"Who are you?" At this moment, an old man in a flower robe walked out of the crowd, and according to Zhang Tun's whispering on the side, I learned that the old man in front of me was a more famous mage in Fenghuang County, called Wu Weng.
And after Chen Long learned that this old man named Wu Weng was a local mage, he knew in his heart that the idea of taking a living person as a life sacrifice was the attention of the old man in front of him, so he was not polite when he spoke: "As a local mage, you must have a little Taoism, but don't you know that whether you practice witchcraft or Taoism, you must accumulate virtue and do good, how can you say such a statement that harms people's lives?!" After Chen Long spoke righteously, the mage named Wu Weng seemed unmoved, and just said lightly: "This is the business of our own people, and you don't need to be a foreigner to come to this person's mother-in-law." Come on, light the fire! ”
"Can't order!" Chen Long yelled and ran directly in front of the old woman to stop the locals from lighting the fire, while Wu Weng seemed to be a little unhappy when he saw this, and said, "You want to save her?!" Do you know who she is?! ”
"It doesn't matter who she is, this ...... You can't burn her alive! ”
Wu Weng frowned, raised his voice and said, "This old woman is a Gu woman!" ”
Hearing the local old mage named Wu Weng say this, the three of us present were all stunned, we naturally knew what Gu Po was, ordinary people who don't know how to do it would think that this Gu Po was just an old woman who practiced Gu poison, but in fact, I actually knew in my heart that Gu Po was actually using a living person as a medicine jar and practicing herself into a carrier of Gu poison!
Gu Po is also known as "Grass Gu Po", as the name suggests, most of the people who practice this evil art are women (Gu is negative, and a woman's physique belongs to Yin, so Gu Po can only be practiced by women), and most of them are women in their thirties and look very ugly.
The Gu poison they generally refine is the same as the seedlings that all Miao people will release Gu, but Gu Po is different from other Gu mages who release Gu, and they will also raise a Gu worm called "Natal Gu" in this body, after raising this kind of Gu worm, Gu Po's own Taoism will increase greatly, and her mana is much higher than that of ordinary mages, and her kung fu under Gu is even more unaware.
According to folk sayings, Gu Po's Gu is not her own, but it is like taking drugs, and when it reaches a certain time, she must give Gu to the living or livestock, otherwise the "natal Gu" in Gu Po's own body will devour the host's internal organs, making it painful!
In this place in Xiangxi, the general public will stay away from Gu Po, and once someone in the place where they live has any strange disease that cannot be cured, they will put this matter on Gu Po's body, so Gu Po generally can't help but go down to Gu, and if he wants to go down, he will only go down to the animals. It's just that a person can last for a year, but when it comes down to livestock, it can only last for two months, and some Gu women will still take the risk of putting Gu down on the living.
If you want to identify whether an old woman is a Gu woman, you only need to look at the other party's eyes, this Gu woman's eyes are generally very red, I frowned, looked back at the old woman who was tied to the stake, and sure enough, I found that the old woman's eyes seemed to have pink eye, "Long Chen, this is ...... This old woman is really a Gu woman......"
"Even if she's ...... It's Gu Po's, but if she hasn't harmed anyone, you can't just burn her like that......" Chen Long naturally knew that some Gu Po lynched villagers to death, and they were basically guilty of a heinous death, and now he knew that the old woman tied to the stake was a Gu woman, and he suddenly didn't know that he was bottomed out.
"No harm?!" Wu Weng sneered, and suddenly said to a relatively young Miao next to him: "Amanzi, you go and bring Liu Laohan over and let these outsiders take a look!" The young seedling nodded when he heard Wu Weng say that, and turned around and walked towards the crowd with a few young seedlings.
The three of us don't know what these people are trying to do, but now that they have destroyed the assembly of others, they can only come and be safe, and the young seedling walked for about a few minutes, and suddenly came to the altar with a few other people on a stretcher, I stared, but found that on the stretcher lay a forty or fifty-year-old unconscious old man about the same age as Ye Hao, "This ....... this is ......"
Wu Weng pointed to the old man lying on the stretcher and said: "Liu Laohan was originally an old man in our county, a few days ago, because he said a few more words to that Gu woman, he was ruthlessly poisoned by her, and then we called someone to go to her door to ask her to collect Gu, but she was unwilling to accept Gu, in order to save Liu Laohan, we had to burn this Gu woman to death!" ”
According to this local mage, Liu Laohan is a Han who lives in the local area, because he is a retired old Red Army, so although he is a Hakka, he is very popular in the city, and this old woman who is tied to a wooden stake is a well-known Gu woman in Fenghuang County, no one knows what her name is, only that her surname is Jin, and she lives in a mansion in the northernmost part of Fenghuang County, which is said to have been a house where a very famous local landlord lived, but later I don't know how, the men in this house gradually became thinner, In the end, only this old woman surnamed Jin remained.
One day, Liu Laohan wandered around the city with nothing to do, not wanting to meet the Jin family, and after saying a few more words, he immediately fell into a coma when he returned home, and his family called the pharmacist one by one when he saw this (doctors in Xiangxi and other places, using earthwork, a bit like the meaning of Langzhong), and the pharmacist shook his head directly when he saw Liu Laohan's symptoms, saying that he had been hit by Gu, unless he found the person who went under the Gu, otherwise he had no choice.
In Xiangxi, there is no difference between this person who has been tricked and stepping directly into the ghost gate with one foot, because his family is as anxious as ants on the kang after seeing this, and immediately scraped together money to find the more famous local wizard Wu Weng, Wu Weng went directly to Liu Laohan's house after hearing about it.
When he came to Liu Laohan's house, the mage saw Liu Laohan lying unconscious on the bed, and immediately frowned, walked to the right and took out a raw egg, wrapped it in a small linen, and rubbed it back and forth on Liu Laohan's body, just like that, about fifteen minutes later, Wu Weng stopped rubbing, took out the raw egg in the bun linen, and smashed it to make the egg yolk, I don't want the yolk inside the raw egg has been blackened all over, and it has become the shape of a small centipede, Wu Weng saw this, and said with a solemn face:" Liu Laohan's is a centipede Gu, unless you find the person who sent the Gu, otherwise your family can only wait to prepare for the future......"
Hearing Wu Weng, a well-known local mage, say this, Liu Laohan's family immediately gathered many relatives and friends, went to the Jin family's mansion to settle accounts, and asked her to take back the Gu, but I didn't want the Jin family to die in the face of so many people and was unwilling to accept the Gu, so Wu Weng had no choice but to make a ruthless move and ask someone to arrest him, saying that since the Jin family was unwilling to accept the Gu, then they had to kill the "natal Gu" in the Jin family's body, so that Liu Laohan could be saved, That's what happened to the three of us today.
"Centipede Gu?!" I took the lead in hearing Wu Weng say this, and immediately walked to Liu Laohan, who was lying on the stretcher, bent down and took a few glances at the left eyelid of the propeller, but saw that there were many black dots above the whites of Liu Laohan's eyes, this is the symptom of ordinary people being Gu!
This centipede Gu is still quite poisonous.
