Half a month has passed, and in his spare time, Wu Yunlin climbed to the tree to pick wild fruits for Longying to eat, and Longying folded off the wicker and braided it into a willow crown for Wu Yunlin to wear. The mountains and rivers of Miao Village floated with their laughter.

As his health gets better and better, Jiang Wanfeng sometimes seems very sad, he often sits in the shade of a tree and sighs for a long time, his face is full of melancholy, and he looks preoccupied, looking at the paradise-like Miao Village, free and easy people, this may be the legendary Peach Blossom Spring!

During this period, the great wizard asked someone to invite Wu Yunlin to talk once, and the content was not known to outsiders.

In order to rush into the city to take the exam as scheduled, Wu Yunlin and others packed their bags early one morning and said goodbye to Long Ying, Long Zhan and other old and young at the entrance of the village, Long Ying took out the amulet and gave it to him, and told him to keep it.

Wu Yunlin solemnly hugged the dragon and turned to leave.

In order to save time, Wu Yunlin and others chose the inaccessible mountain stream trail under the leadership of the Miao warriors, of course, the mountains are not inaccessible, in fact, there are some post stations in some remote places, the post stations are used to live in the corpse and the corpse of the Taoist, so it is called the corpse inn, under normal circumstances, Wu Yunlin and others do not need to eat and sleep in the open, live in the corpse inn, but there are some taboos, the Miao Abel who is responsible for sending us out of the mountain knows better (Xiong Ge, the eldest disciple of the great wizard, and 6 young Miao warriors, followed Wu Yunlin to fight in the south and in the north), Wu Yunlin and others did so. In fact, the big guy is still more curious, compared to everyone has never seen the legendary corpse inn, Xiong Ge said: "Like our kind of small village that is 108,000 miles away from the town and has no road, there are dead people outside, you can't carry the corpse back such a long way, and the most particular thing about this place is to return to the roots, so there are corpse chasers and corpse chasers", but Xiong Ge also said that corpse chasers are not everywhere, often in that kind of moon gloomy and barren place, the easier it is to appear, and according to the rules of the corpse chaser industry, It is necessary to have a corpse inn every dozens of miles away, or how can it be called a post station, the distance is estimated, how far can the corpse chaser go in a day, where the corpse inn is repaired, it is very humane to say, but this thing is a particularly evil place, and ordinary people really dare not live. "To solve the Gu, you still need to be a Gu person, you have also experienced this, right?" Xiong Ge shook his head after speaking, "The terrifying thing about Gu is that it is silent. Breathless, even colorless and tasteless, except for some Gu worms that will gnaw at the body of the Gu Person, it cannot be perceived, which is the same as the more southern (Southeast Asian) head lowering technique. ”

The head-lowering technique is actually derived from the Gu technique, and the principle of the two is almost the same, the difference is that there is no strict definition of good and bad in the Gu technique from ancient times to the present, but the head-lowering technique must be used to harm people.

Wu Yunlin sighed: "Don't worry, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, come to Xiangxi for a trip, you can't say anything if you don't encounter the characteristics of this side, and it is inevitable to suffer a little." ”

"As long as you know how to do Gu poison, it's actually not that terrible, it's just catching some insects with different habits in the mountains and raising them, and people who can raise Gu can turn even cow lice into harmful weapons." Xiong Ge thought for a moment and continued, "Indeed, for those of you who don't know how to do it, it's really a demon, but in our Shengmiao Village here, things like Gu seem very ordinary. ”

Xiong Ge said that the seedlings refer to the pure native Miao people in the mountains who have no communication with the outside world.

There is also a kind called ripe seedlings, which refers to the Miao people who live in the outside world, and other ethnic groups have universal intermarriage, and have been sinicized, and in this era, most of the mature seedlings don't even know the traditional culture of their own nation, however, there are some mature seedlings that know everything in many tourist areas, but don't care so much.

Xiong Ge said that he actually grabbed a disgusting caterpillar from his sleeve and put it in his hand to play with. While stroking, he said to Wu Yunlin and the others: "Actually, the biggest role of Gu is not to harm people, but to save people. Because there are many snakes and insects in the 100,000 mountains, mountains, forests, and deep snakes, and insects, raising Gu can detoxify and warn of danger in advance, and have an auxiliary role when fighting with wild beasts. ”

All in all, there are two kinds of Gu, one is the Gu insect poison technique, which specializes in attacking words, that is, advocating attacking Gu poison. It is the way to attack, which makes people stay away. The second is the art of healing Gu, and the Gu worms used are all to drive away diseases and save people.

When it was just dark, he saw a house under an ancient tree in front of him, and Xiong Ge signaled: This is the corpse inn.

The hut was so dilapidated that it was too old to be seen, propped up haphazardly with a few bamboos to prevent it from collapsing, the two gates were closed, and a dusty lantern hung in front of the house, shining with a miserable light.

On the lintel is faintly engraved with four words "Xishen Inn".

At this time, the owner of the corpse inn was wiping the dusty shrine with a rag, took out three sticks of incense and lit it, bowed to the shrine three times, and put incense.

Careful people will find that the boss is not an ordinary Guanyin or a general fairy, but a monster with a bull head and a human body (may be the legendary Yin Bad Bull Head).

Seeing the visitor, the boss smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, you are a disciple of Lord Long (an honorific title for the Great Wizard) in Chenzhou." ”

Xiong Ge bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, what you are talking about is the family teacher, this time I followed the son out of the mountain on the order of the great witch, and pointed to Wu Yunlin, Mei Jiding and others to introduce them one by one." ”

Wu Yunlin and his two generations are more sophisticated, and hurriedly called out to the old man. The boss seemed to like him very much, and said with a smile: "You look good, if you don't have a sweetheart, I will definitely detain you as my grandson-in-law." ”

The boss seems to have a very cheerful personality, and introduces himself: "My surname is Zhang, and people who know me call me Zhang Laosi, counting from my grandfather's generation, this corpse inn has been open for a hundred years, that is, in recent years, every year has been war-torn and dilapidated, alas......" Zhang Laosi's expression was a little gloomy and embarrassed.

Xiong Ge's expression changed slightly, and he quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile: "The Zhang family in Guanzhuang has heard since my grandfather's generation, in the past, all the foot chasers in Xiangxi passed through Guanzhuang, and there was no one who couldn't stop here - it's just that it's getting more and more difficult these years, and now there are not many people who can afford to hire corpse chasers."

After dinner

It may be that no one has chatted with him for a long time, and Old Man Zhang seems to be particularly talkative. Of course, as a shopkeeper, I have seen people from all over the world and listened to all kinds of stories, which also makes Old Man Zhang have endless stories.

Looking at the people who were gradually sleepy, Old Man Zhang said to everyone: You live in the two rooms on the left side of the second floor, no matter what you hear or see at night, don't make a fuss, don't go out, go!
