Chapter 45: The Legend of the Gu Master
"Stop chasing. ”
In the carriage that had not gone far, Ah Yao vaguely heard this and finally relieved herself.
Three years ago, August 17.
After borrowing the Qinglong Sword from Qin Guiyu, Ah Yao didn't dare to stay longer and left directly, after all, as long as the Qinglong Sword was born, it would be a catastrophe for the rivers and lakes. However, this also caused Ah Yao not to know Du Xi'er's life experience, although Qin Guiyu knew the reason why Ah Yao borrowed the Qinglong Sword, but because Du Xi'er was injured, Qin Guiyu did not ask about the specific reason for the accident, so he missed it like this. However, after learning about the situation later, he explained it in a letter with A-Yao.
According to what Du Xi'er said, what the Thirteen Sons of the Ghost Sect were looking for was Gu Master Ding, but Du Zhongnian didn't seem to have Gu Master Ding with him at that time, and it can even be said that he didn't get the real Gu Master Ding at all. Because according to the information obtained by Ah Yao, the real Gu Master Ding was sunk into the depths of Wanfeng Lake in the south of the Miao people.
Gu Shiding is an important reason for the civil strife in Kunming.
Many years ago, all ethnic groups formed an alliance under the pressure of Dali, Shu and Chu, named "Kunming", and took a jade tripod as a symbol, which is the Gu Shi Ding, but there was no name back then, and it was just a symbol.
Later, after years of development, the Miao people became strong with the method of refining Gu.
Witchcraft once ravaged today's Wuyue, Southern Han, Hunan and other places, and it can be said that the entire Central Plains has never been spared.
On the occasion of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the world was disturbed, the sky was unreasonable, the ghosts were prosperous, the demons were in charge, and witchcraft was rampant.
In troubled times, it was the best soil for these unclean things to breed and multiply, and at that time, the rampant Gu art was rampant, and the impact was far-reaching. Detailed records of Gu art have been published one after another since then. Moreover, the form of Gu at that time was unpredictable, like a monster, making people unguardable, not only poisonous insects could be Gu, but even pigs, dogs, and livestock could refine Gu.
Gan Bao recorded in "Sou Shen Ji": Poyang Zhao Shou, there is a dog Gu. When Chen Cen was shou, there were suddenly six or seven groups of big yellow dogs, out of barking. After the rest of the aunt and the longevity of the woman eat, vomiting blood and dying a few times, it is the crumbs bellflower to drink it and heal. Gu has monsters, such as ghosts, its demon shape changes, miscellaneous species, or dogs, or insects and snakes, and their people know their shapes. Do it to the people, and all of them die.
The meaning is roughly that Ganbao's aunt had a meal with a kennel proprietor, came back and vomited blood, and almost died. Through investigation and evidence collection, Gan Bao came to the conclusion that the family did not raise ordinary dogs, but "dog Gu". The dog Gu is different from the common insect Gu, it is more like driving away resentful spirits and raising monsters.
When Gu Qizhi, the minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, was appointed as the secretary of the ministry, there was a strange case in the country, someone fell ill after drinking, abdominal pain was like a knife, howling all day long, vomiting out more than a dozen Gu worms, and asked his wife to open her stomach to check the symptoms. After his death, his wife cut open his stomach and found that the viscera had been completely broken into slag, which showed the fierceness of the Gu poison.
It is because all dynasties and dynasties have forbidden raising Gu, and the strict criminal law for Gu masters hopes to ban evil arts: the Han "Law of Thieves" has a law: those who dare to trick people and fatamas will abandon the market. There is a saying in "Tang Law and Discussion": Those who create animal poison and fatamas will be hanged. Not only is the death penalty imposed, from the Northern Qi Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the laws also include Gu art in the "Ten Great Evils", which are not allowed to be pardoned like major crimes such as rebellion, killing one's father, and killing one's mother.
Therefore, after many years, that kind of monster-like Gu art has been lost, and no one can refine it anymore, and it seems to be more like a country monster at the moment. However, because of its small size, the method of refining Gu insects has been handed down and carried forward in Miaojiang.
is to mention Gu now, and Miao Jiang must be raised.
Gu refining should be on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, because this day is the "Five Poison Day", this day is the coolest heat, the most poisonous gas, and it is an auspicious day for poisonous insects. Take hundreds of poisonous insects to kill each other, and the only winner in the end is Gu. After the Gu is formed, he will kill people within three years, otherwise the Gu master will be counterattacked, which is why the Gu is talking about the change of color in the rivers and lakes.
Ah Yao is a Miaojiang woman, so she has naturally been exposed to this way since she was a child, because she is also a Gu master.
There is a legend that there is a close connection between the Gu master and the Gu master, which makes the Gu master strong and more vulnerable, the Gu master drives the Gu worm by this connection, on the other hand, this kind of induction is also the Gu master's life, the Gu is in the people, and the Gu is dead.
Ah Yao shook her head: "This statement is nonsense, Gu insects are weird and difficult to control, so it is inevitable that some Gu masters will accidentally fall into their own Gu poison, because they were not killed by Gu insects, so some people say that they were counterattacked." ”
For many years after the Tang Dynasty, the rivers and lakes were in turmoil, and the Gu masters flourished, and the Gu art was developed, which was also the reason for the prosperity of the Miao people.
In an accident, a Gu master of the Miao clan discovered that the Kunming holy relic Xiaoding actually had the effect of absorbing a hundred poisons, and suddenly wanted to steal it to refine the Gu. It was found that Xiao Ding was not only able to absorb white poison, but also to increase the success rate of Gu refining, even if it was not on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, on the "Five Poison Day", due to the strong poisoning of Ding, there was also a very high success rate, and at the same time, because of the absorption of hundreds of poisons, it could increase the power of Gu worms, and even raise Gu worms in Ding without worrying about being poisoned.
This is the origin of Xiaoding's name as "Gu Master Ding".
Soon after, the incident happened, but he didn't know that this person had already secretly sunk Gu Master Ding in Wanfeng Lake, and what he brought when he escaped was actually a fake prepared in advance.
Gu Shiding disappeared, Kunming civil strife, although it will not fall apart, but the various ethnic groups have their own affairs, the alliance formed over the years is almost about to collapse, and many patriarchal conferences have even begun to discuss whether to return to Song or Dali. However, all ethnic groups still had the idea of a corner of peace in their hearts, so they all sent people from all ethnic groups to investigate the whereabouts of Gu Shi Ding, and finally got the news about five years ago, and spent a lot of manpower, and finally found Gu Shi Ding at the bottom of Wanfeng Lake.
However, due to the towering mountains and rocks around Wanfeng Lake, there are many huge stones in the lake, and the Gu Master Ding fell in the gap between the huge rocks at the bottom of the lake, and the water depth has nowhere to borrow, and countless adult men have not been able to chisel it into the water, and finally they have tried all kinds of ways to take out the Gu Master Ding.
In the end, there was no way, the leaders of the various clans reached a consensus, if someone could retrieve the Gu Master Ding, they could take the Gu Master Ding as their own, but the requirement was to ensure the safety of the Gu Master Ding in order to continue to be a sacred relic in Kunming.
This news is the most deadly for the Miao Gu Master, countless people went into the water to win the Ding, but they all failed and returned, only Ah Yao.
After Ah Yao knew that Gu Shi Ding fell at the bottom of Wanfeng Lake and could not be retrieved, she had already written to contact Qin Guiyu, wanting to borrow the Qinglong Sword to use, if there was anything else in the world that could break through the boulder in the water, it must be the Qinglong Sword. Qin Guiyu happened to want to accept apprentices, so he didn't stay in the valley, but set the location of the meeting in Lizhou City. Later, it was rumored that the patriarch allowed the person who retrieved the tripod to keep the Gu Master Ding, and Ayao immediately left Kunming and went straight to Lizhou City.
It is said that although the ethnic groups in Kunming know where the real thing is, they have not leaked the slightest news, and the outside world is still vying for the fake.
The fakes have been circulating for many years, and finally came into the hands of Du Xi'er's father Du Zhongnian, I don't know if it was Du Zhongnian who met someone, maybe it was just a simple covet of Gu Shiding, Du Zhongnian, who had retired for many years, actually reappeared in the rivers and lakes, but this also caused the disaster of killing.
Originally, Du Zhongnian also knew that he was in crisis step by step, but Gu Shiding was not a good thing, and those who were strong enough in martial arts in the rivers and lakes were disdainful, so he didn't expect to meet a martial arts public enemy like the Thirteen Sons of the Ghost Gate.
It didn't take long for the Detention Immortal Pavilion to come to Kunming with the Gu Master Ding fake, in a vain attempt to subdue Kunming and return it to the Song Dynasty, but he was told that this Ding was a fake and made a fuss.
After the Detention Immortal Pavilion left, Ah Yao returned to Kunming, and it took all kinds of energy to use the Qinglong Sword to finally take out the Gu Master Ding. However, the birth of Gu Shiding caused countless turmoil in Kunming, and Ah Yao was even injured because of this, which is also the reason why the Qinglong Sword was returned after three years.
Fortunately, Ah Yao used Gu Master Ding to refine Gu, and at the same time, she had the Qinglong Sword by her side to survive this catastrophe, and Gu Master Ding has always been retained by Ah Yao.
As for why that pill was able to make the thirteen sons of the Ghost Sect retreat and dare not chase after it, then it had to mention the Gu worm that Ayao had refined.
Ah Yao hesitated for a while before speaking to Dugujing and Du Xi'er.
"Golden Silkworm Gu. ”
Golden Silkworm Gu, there are clouds in ancient books, Golden Silkworm Gu is extremely powerful, water and fire are invulnerable, invulnerable, extremely difficult to eliminate, all those who refine Gu, often push the golden silkworm as the king of poison. But at the same time, this thing is also the most difficult to tame, and the people who raise the golden silkworm are also very easy to identify, because the golden silkworm is so clean, so the place where they live is spotless, and the ants and insects are easy to avoid.
This also made the Gu master who refined the Golden Silkworm Gu particularly easy to expose, plus the Golden Silkworm Gu was difficult to tame, so no Gu Master would raise the Golden Silkworm Gu for the rest of his life. Once some Gu masters use the Golden Silkworm Gu to get what they want, they will choose to "marry the Golden Silkworm", secretly put the Golden Silkworm Gu in the package and throw it on the side of the road for others to pick it up, in order to alleviate their own sins, the Gu Master will also put some money and instructions for refining the Golden Silkworm Gu in the package at the same time, and leave it for the person who is "married to the Golden Silkworm".
If the person who was "married to the golden silkworm" can tame the golden silkworm Gu without a teacher, it will be a blessing and a blessing in disguise, but most people do not have this luck, and they are eaten by the out-of-control golden silkworm, and the bones are gone.
Ah Yao didn't plan to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu at the beginning, she was refining the "Tongsheng Gu". There are two male and female Gu in the same life, after practice, you can ask two Gu to reproduce in the water, the Gu poison floats on the surface of the water, this is the poison of yin and yang metamorphosis, if it enters the human body, it can be yin and yang metamorphosis and become Gu worms. The Gu worm did not react when it first entered the human body, and after a long time, the Gu worm began to gnaw on the internal organs, and the Gu worm was in pain, struggling and wailing.
Speaking of this, Liu Laoliu and the coachman began to tremble, and the hairs on their bodies stood on top in a cold sweat. Dugu Jing glanced at Du Xi'er, and both of them remembered the guards of the Detention Immortal Pavilion when A-Yao opened the Gu Master Ding outside Tongping Town, and those guards of the Detention Immortal Pavilion who died tragically under the Gu worms, and the death was really painful and miserable.
