Yun Chu had always thought that the "Gu" that was prevalent in the southwest should be related to bacteria.

Because, after entering the southwest, Yun Chu learned that the southwestern barbarians basically characterized some chronic diseases that were difficult to treat such as long-term cough, hemoptysis, blue complexion and emaciation, as well as symptoms such as visceral discomfort, bowel sound, abdominal distention, and loss of appetite.

Then, the patient with this symptom in the family will shout and scold in the village, and ask the family to take back the Gu worms until the patient is cured, and if the patient's disease is not good, then continue to scold until the patient dies.

At this time, the family of the dead person will have a grudge with the "grass ghost woman" in the village, because the Gu thing is also called the grass ghost in the southwest, and the woman who raises the Gu is called the "grass ghost woman", which is generally the witch doctor in the village, and they don't dare to find trouble with the "grass ghost woman" in essence, so they have to keep scolding, therefore, all the scolding words in the villages in the southwest are generally extraordinarily rich.

The explanation of "Gu" in the book is that the worms in the pot, the moths born after the decay of the grains and the deterioration of other objects are also called Gu. This thing can enter the human body through food and drink to cause diseases, and the patient is as if he is bewitched by a ghost, and his mind is confused.

There is a clause in the "Han Law" that "those who dare to deceive people and fatamas abandon the market".

The law of the Tang Dynasty lists the use of poison Gu as one of the heinous crimes and is punishable by death.

The government's punishment of the so-called Gu practitioners is extremely cruel.

In the past, after the officials in the southwest caught the Gu woman, they buried her body in the ground, only the head was exposed, and then poured wax juice on the Gu woman's head and set it on fire, which can be called a bone and ashes.

After Yun Chu's further understanding, he understood why Gu worms were so popular in the southwest.

Without it, it is mainly due to the fact that there are too many parasites in the human body.

Southwest people like to eat pork, coupled with the poor environment of pig raising, pigs are contaminated with taeniasis, people eat sick pork, and then give pigs feces with tapeworm eggs to eat, so taeniasis in the southwest has become a disease of endless scarcity for children and grandchildren.

Little kid fart. The strand is itchy, and if you pull it, you can pull out a worm more than a foot long, and the same is true for adults, at this time, tell them that they have fallen into the Gu, even the most intelligent barbarians believe it.

Not only tapeworm disease, but also schistosomiasis, the larvae can burrow into human flesh human skin flies, these insects that can be parasitic in the human body can be found with the naked eye, plus people are used to thinking crankily, so Gu came into being.

When Long Po was a child a long time ago, she relied on her mother to live, although her life was not good, her mother raised her after all.

Long Po accidentally found that other little boys would bully the little girl in the village, but she was not the only one to bully, and after asking her mother to understand the reason for the "grass ghost woman", she was determined to become the greatest "grass ghost woman" in the southwest, so that no one could bully her.

"The most important thing in raising centipedes is to plant seedlings, centipedes know from the larvae that the weak eat the strong, even if it is the same nest of centipedes, the big ones will feed on the small ones."

Long Po bit a braised pig's trotter and told Li Si about her experience in raising centipedes while eating.

"Always catch centipedes of the same size and raise them together, if you don't give enough food, centipedes will bite each other, and the largest and most poisonous centipede king is screened out in this way.

The old body once mixed the saliva of the Centipede King with water and fed it to those who were in the Gu, the effect was amazing, no matter what kind of Gu, under the saliva of the Centipede King, all of them could be removed, the most powerful one, after giving a person in the Gu the saliva of the Ccentipede King, a pot of Gu came out of his body, and each Gu worm was a foot long!

Since that time, both the Wu Man and the Bai Man have thought that the Centipede Gu King refined by the old body is the most powerful Gu in the southwest, and everyone respectfully calls the old body a dragon mother-in-law.

Whether it is a black barbarian, a white barbarian no longer dares to easily step into the Yunwu Mountain Village where the old man lives, even if the people in the village come out, everyone is in awe, for fear that the old man will give them a trick. The old woman also thought it was Gu.

Even a big tribe like the Barbarian Dragon Cave has to invite me to their tribe and serve me with delicious food and drink...... By the way, can I still eat such delicious pig's trotters after I go to Chang'an? ”

Li Si was also holding a pig's trotter and gnawing, the pig's trotter they gnawed came from wild boars, anyway, the pigs raised by the southwesterners were not eaten by Yun Chu.

"Of course, what is this thing, when you arrive in Chang'an and live in the princess's mansion, this palace guarantees that everything you eat is a hundred times better than pig's trotters."

After listening to Granny Long's boasting, Li Si became more and more kind to Granny Long.

It is a matter of course that pork in the southwest eats too many worms in the stomach, and if you want to get rid of those tapeworms, Li Si feels that the taste of neem peel is enough in plant Chinese medicine, and most of the centipede toxins are active toxins, and once they enter the stomach in a strong acid environment, it is estimated that they will be decomposed almost.

As for the person who was beaten by centipede toxin, God knows if there was a wound to the mouth, esophagus, or stomach, and the whole poisoning, and those tapeworms were beaten down.

"Is the person who knocked Gu down still alive?"

Granny Long took a bite of the pig's trotters and said: "I have been tortured by Gu poison for too long, people and Gu poison live together, and after Gu poison is beaten down, people will die." ”

Li Si nodded seriously, feeling that this was inevitable.

However, she didn't tell Granny Long this, she hoped to continue to maintain Granny Long's status as the first person in the southwest "Grass Ghost Woman", not only to keep, but also to publicize it.

At least, let all the fanatics in Chang'an and Luoyang who covet the Yun family know that if they hurt the Yun family and hurt the people she Li Si cared about, they would just wait to be tricked by Granny Long, and finally, their whole bodies would explode and die.

However, the old fairy is not easy to fool, his old man must not believe it...... You must think of a way to make the old fairy shut up and not say anything.

Maybe it's because he has been separated from Yun Jin for a long time, and Yun Jin has been in danger, Li Si's spirit is not so stable, and he unconsciously exposes the inferior nature of the Li family, that is, to be angry with others.

Fortunately, Li Si has only moved his anger to the mansion until now, and He Zhao is alone.

However, now the promotion of both civil and military generals in the Tang Dynasty is very slow, and the crown prince Li Hong has promulgated the "Trial Measures for the Promotion of Officials in the Tang Dynasty", that is, the number of years of service of officials is related to promotion.

That is to say, every official must stay in this position for many years, meet some conditions to be eligible for promotion, the ministry will become a "promotion", unless a person has made military exploits, or political achievements are dazzling enough, in order to make an exception to "promotion", even if "promotion" is also limited, can not be overstepped, and to go to the door, the three divisions, and the book can be finalized.

In the whole world, there is only one person who can ignore this rule and promote officials at will, and that is Emperor Li Zhi.

He Zhao commanded a hundred heavy cavalry, and he was originally a special general in Wannian County, the Zhichong Mansion in Wupinjing County, such a person, in other Zhichong Mansions, at least at the level of Guoyi's captain, but in Wannian County's Zhichong Mansion, he could only be a special general.

He Zhao has been tortured by Li Si very badly recently, but all the remote and poor places that belong to the Tang Dynasty have basically been assigned, now, it depends on when the princess will go to tell the prince or the emperor, once he says it, He Zhao believes that both the prince and the emperor may agree, and when the time comes, he will have to go around the border of the Tang Dynasty for the rest of his life.

However, it is not without benefits, at least, because of the battle of Changchuan, he has been promoted by the imperial court to the captain of Guoyi.

The so-called wealth and danger are sought, and now He Zhao only hopes that His Royal Highness the princess will be served well, and the court can give him another super promotion, if it is achieved, he will independently lead a Zhichong Mansion, and it will no longer be a dream to become the commander of the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, now that Long Po is here, Yun Jin still remembers her birthday, and she has obtained two giant centipedes, and her mood is much more stable.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the old man has an enemy in Chang'an......"

Li Si heard Long Po say this, and said in surprise: "You can also provoke your mother-in-law by Tang people living in seclusion in Yunwu Mountain?" ”

Long Po said: "The old woman originally had a pair of more powerful golden dragons, but unfortunately, they were made into centipedes by a Taoist named Sun Simiao, and that pair of golden dragons took ten years of old life......"

Li Si's mouth immediately paused when he gnawed on the pig's trotters, and carefully looked at the pair of black-headed green-backed big centipedes he had just obtained, and felt that he couldn't take this pair of centipedes into Chang'an, otherwise, this pair of centipedes was likely to become a medicine in the old immortal medicine box.

As for Granny Long's hatred, Li Si felt that it was better to forget it, but in the face of Granny Long's earnest gaze, she still got it on herself, and she was scolded by the old fairy after returning to Chang'an.

"Ho Zhao!"

Li Si shouted, and He Zhao, the captain of Guoyi who was guarding outside the tent to protect Li Si's safety, immediately entered the tent and bowed, not daring to raise his head.

"When you return to Chang'an, you will lead someone to chop Granny Long's enemies into meat sauce."

"Subordinates obey!" He Zhao's mouth answered far faster than his brain.

Sending off Long Po, Li Si walked under the moon alone, although she usually doesn't like to use her brain, but now Yun Jin, who likes to use her brain, is not here, Li Si has to think hard about how to block the old fairy's mouth.

The meaning of Long Po's existence, Yun Jin didn't mention a word in the letter to Li Si, there were only some love words that made Li Si's body weak, but Li Si understood Yun Jin's meaning the moment he saw the letter, raised Long Po, and made her a powerful weapon in the hands of the Yun family.

Although the centipede raised by Long Po is nothing more than a little bigger, it is ugly, and it can be caught by throwing a piece of clothing on the centipede, which seems very useless, and it can't even compare with a slightly more powerful poisonous snake.

However, by changing the name of the centipede to the centipede Gu King, this pair of centipedes is enough to turn the lively streets of Chang'an into empty ghost streets in an instant.

As Aya said, when the bow is not fired, the enemy is the most afraid.

And the meaning of the existence of Granny Long and the Centipede King is the most powerful and creepy bow in the world.
