On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, it is used to refer to the Duanyang Festival, on this day, every family has to eat zongzi salted eggs, hang calamus wormwood, tie five-color silk threads, there are dragon boat races in various places, pick herbs, pray for blessings and auspiciousness, suppress evil spirits and other activities, it is a very important festival.

But this day has a more special meaning for the Gu masters who repel insects and control Gu, because according to the Gu masters, in ancient times, May was also called the [Poison Moon], and the fifth day of the first month was the [Evil Day], and the fifth day of the fifth month of May was the [Five Poison Day], which is why the Dragon Boat Festival should drink realgar wine to drive away evil spirits and avoid poison.

Because it is said that on this day, all poisons will become extremely violent and extremely aggressive, and the Gu poison refined on this day will also have the power and power that is difficult to match with the Gu that is usually refined.

However, on this day, those Gu worms will also become very difficult to control, and if the Gu master who has not practiced his skills at home uses Gu on this day, he may even be eaten by Gu worms.

Today, it is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and every household in Qinghe Village is busy with the festival in the morning, but unfortunately the sky is a little unbeautiful, from the morning, the day is gray, as if it will rain at any time.

On a narrow mountain road carved into the cliff wall, three Miao girls walked in a row with medicine baskets on their backs.

They are all the apprentices of the Great Gu Master of Qinghe Village, the eldest apprentice is called Wei Shufen, the second apprentice is called Zhang Shuying, and the third apprentice is called Luo Shuning, because today is the Five Poisons Day and the Duanyang Festival, so they were ordered by the Great Gu Master to go up the mountain to collect the herbs that need to be used when refining Gu.

By this time they had returned with a full load and were on their way back to the village.

But as soon as she reached a cliff, Wei Shufen suddenly stopped, and then suddenly jumped, like a gecko swimming on the cliff, like a gecko swimming on the cliff, the sickle used to cut herbs in her hand suddenly buckled into the gap in the rock wall, Wei Shufen used this strength to climb towards the cliff.

Below, her junior sister Zhang Shuying looked worried, and shouted in a not fluent official dialect: "Sister Shufen, where are you going!" You see, it's going to rain this day, so let's hurry up and get fat."

Luo Shuning also persuaded on the side: "That's right, Grandma will also worry about you." ”

However, Wei Shufen has been strong since she was a child because of her talent for learning Gu arts, as long as it is a matter of Gu arts, she always likes to compare herself with others, so naturally she will not listen to the words of her junior sisters and go back obediently.

"Take the risk, you get fat first, I'm going to try my luck and see if I can catch that Earth Dragon King, only the poison of the Earth Dragon King on the Five Poison Days is the strongest, look at this weather If I can catch up with the rain, it will be a big luck, after the rain stops, the Earth Dragon King will definitely come out of the soil for ventilation, I must catch the Earth Dragon King and cultivate it into my natal Gu, and only a poison of this level of the Earth Dragon King is worthy of becoming my Wei Shufen's natal Gu."

While speaking, Wei Shufen didn't care about Zhang Shuying and Luo Shuning below, and stubbornly climbed up alone.

The natal Gu is the most important Gu of the Gu master, and the strength of the natal Gu can be said to be closely related to the Gu master's future achievements, so Wei Shufen, who is strong, can't look down on those ordinary poisons at all, her natal Gu must be the strongest.

When she climbed halfway, the rain fell from the air, but fortunately, there was a small cave recessed not far above the cliff, so Wei Shufen sped up and climbed in to avoid the rain for a while.

Soon, the drizzling rain turned into a pouring rain, and Wei Shufen had no choice but to shrink into a small cave, breathing to recover her strength, while waiting for the heavy rain to pass.

Waiting, waiting until it was dark, the heavy rain finally stopped, Wei Shufen set off again and climbed to the cliff, but this time, the difficulty of climbing was much more difficult than before, on the one hand, it had just rained, the cliff was slippery and difficult to grasp, and the other was because of the heavy rain, some gravel on the cliff wall loosened and fell.

When Wei Shufen finally climbed to a platform in the middle of the cliff, her body had already been cut by the smashed gravel.

Wei Shufen didn't care about the injuries on her body, she approached a bush on the platform for the first time, carefully brushed away the branches and leaves, and her hard work paid off, she finally saw her target - the Earth Dragon King.

I saw that there was a huge centipede ball entrenched in the bushes, and if it was unfolded, the total length of the centipede would probably be longer than the height of a normal adult male.

"Earth Dragon King, you finally fell into my hands, I knew that besides me, someone could catch you, hahahaha."

Wei Shufen didn't say a word, and directly used the medicine basket behind her to cover the centipede ball, but maybe it was the smell of blood and the vibration of the air that stimulated the Earth Dragon King, and before Wei Shufen could get it, the Earth Dragon King who formed a ball had already "purred" and rolled to the side, making Wei Shufen's medicine basket pounce.

The next moment, the Earth Dragon King suddenly ejected his head from the body of the ball, showing two fangs like meat hooks, and bit Wei Shufen's neck.

Knowing that today's Earth Dragon King was the most poisonous time of the year, even if Wei Shufen relied on her clever Gu techniques, she didn't dare to take it hard, so she had to dodge the Earth Dragon King's poisonous fangs with an iron plate bridge.

Unexpectedly, the Earth Dragon King instantly spread out the body of the ball, and with the force of the collision, dragging the long body is a centipede hanging mountain, the first half of the body firmly climbed the cliff, and the second half of the body was like a pair of hook claws The few pairs of feet like hook claws deftly hooked Wei Shufen's clothes, and with a hard flick, Wei Shufen was pulled to the edge of the cliff.

Wei Shufen didn't expect that the Earth Dragon King would have such strength, plus the flat platform on this cliff was not big, and the ground was slippery after the rain, and he staggered forward two or three steps under the pull, and he had already fallen out of the ping platform.

In the face of the sudden fatal blow, Wei Shufen, who saw that she was already fierce today, turned her heart sideways: "If you want to fall to death, I will pull you as a backing even if I die!" ”

Immediately, Wei Shufen grabbed the long body of the Earth Dragon King with all her strength when she fell out of the platform, and with the inertia of falling, the Earth Dragon King was forcibly stripped off the cliff, regardless of how the Earth Dragon King struggled, Wei Shufen just hugged the Earth Dragon King and fell down the cliff together.

In the process of falling, Wei Shufen's eyes were closed, and she only felt that the wind kept whistling in her ears.

Suddenly, for some reason, the sound of the wind was mixed with bursts of rhythmic gongs and a familiar Xiangxi minor tune.

"The head is not lowered ~ the legs are not divided and the hey ~"

"Walking Shadow Yo ~ Floating Fire Yo ~ Dust Away from the Mortal Dust Hello ~"

"Buried for a long time without decay ~ soul stagnation ~"

"Nei Mingyo ~ Vulva Yo ~ Someone who chases the corpse hey~"

Wei Shufen opened her eyes against the whistling airflow, and looked down from above, only to see that on the mountain road not far away, I don't know when a bamboo sedan chair carried by four people appeared.

Immediately after, a black shadow shot out from the sedan chair, and then Wei Shufen felt that she had hit something warm and soft, and the momentum of the fall decreased sharply.

Wei Shufen looked at it, and what caught her eye was a handsome face that she had never seen in the village.

After a while, with a large vibration, Wei Shufen felt that the wind in her ears had stopped, and she had no feeling of continuing to fall.

Wei Shufen realized that she was saved by a teenager of the same age as herself.

At this time, the young man was holding his slender waist with one hand and his jade leg with the other, and was holding himself in his arms in the posture of a princess.

Wei Shufen's pretty face suddenly flushed with a touch of peach blossom, and a feeling that she had never felt before suddenly came to her heart.
