The Miao people in southern Xinjiang are in the remote area of the Central Plains, that is, the hinterland of the 100,000 mountains. Legend has it that this place was originally a sea, and there were krakens raging in the sea, and there was a great flood that caused the people to be displaced and miserable. At that time, as the king of Jiuli, Chi especially avoided the suffering of his people from the flood and killed the demons. Therefore, he ordered his generals to bring 100,000 mountains from the north to transform into elephants and rush here, and the kraken felt that the danger was approaching, so he retaliated even more frantically, and ate an elephant because of it. In a fit of rage, Chiyou pulled out his sword and slew the Kraken. The remaining 99,999 were driven here to stop the raging flood. Although there is one elephant missing, the remaining herd is still called the 100,000 Mountain.

Although it is located in a remote area, it is far less rich than the vast land of the Central Plains, but it is better than the beautiful scenery. After jumping over the rolling 100,000 mountains, it is like coming to a fairyland on earth. Just because all you see around is a turquoise ocean, and there are countless flowers and trees. There are many rare and exotic beasts or precious medicinal materials in the mountains and forests, and most of the Miao people are good at shooting good wine, and they are bold and simple by nature. It's just that since the death of Chi You that year, the Jiuli tribe to which he belongs has been scattered all over the world after several turnovers. The rest of the tribes are also in dispute over the top spot for the leader. In order to survive, they are practicing witchcraft one after another, as well as all kinds of harmful tricks that make people smell and change, the most frightening thing is not only Gu art, but also raising corpses.

The so-called "reversal of yin and yang, eight doors are reversed, hundreds of bones in the array, and the corpse will be completed". All in all, in order to ensure the continuation of the race, the various ethnic groups of the Jiuli tribe have been in constant disputes with each other. And Wan Gu Sect, as the most powerful one among the Jiuli tribes at that time, also survived, and after years of fighting, its power was also growing day by day. The other forces were either displaced or driven to the deep mountains and forests.

The location of the main hall of the Ten Thousand Gu Gate is a cliff called the lonely cloud, called the Lonely Cloud Cliff. It is surrounded by cliffs and dark whistles, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack. If an enemy is coming, they can also echo it through other branches of the forest, which is an important reason why they chose this place. And their remaining forces are also distributed in other mountains, and all the forces are distributed in the shape of 'product' around the Guyun Cliff, which is a famous defense in the war. Such a defense can be described as very rigorous and unbreakable. Once the enemy comes to attack, the various forces can look at each other, echo each other from afar, besiege the enemy who will attack it, and finally successfully kill him.

On the top of the lonely cloud peak, the lush flowers and trees of various colors cover the sky and the sun, giving people a shade at the same time, but also making people feel a sense of isolation from the world. The Qingfeng Temple is a place where important people and high priests of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect discuss important matters. The high priest can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person in the entire Ten Thousand Gu Gate, and his people are good at witchcraft.

Witchcraft includes spiritualism, curses, exorcism of ghosts and evil spirits, passing through the yin, divination, divine judgment, ghost sacrifice, eight-character witchcraft, soul courtship, etc. In addition to using witchcraft, shamans also use local materials and herbs to heal their wounds. In the past, only the great wizard of the clan could use Gu magic, but because there were many people in the Central Plains who deceived Miao Nu's feelings, the great wizard taught Miao Nu to make Gu art, and Miao Nu used Gu magic to seek peace of mind. Its Gu poison includes, Love Gu, Fire Gu, and some insect Gu.

Among them, the most commonly used is the insect Gu, the ancient scroll has clouds, "The Gu maker, put a hundred insects in a dish, eat each other, and take the survivor as Gu." Therefore, the word is from the worm, from the dish. Dishes, utensils also. ”

Another cloud, "The ancients took a hundred insects into the urn, and after years of opening, there will be a worm that eats all the insects, that is, this is called Gu, which can be invisible like a ghost and god, and make trouble with people, and then it will be a worm and ghost in the end." Bite a person to the death, or come out of the man's orifices, and take it and expose it. There are Gu people, and they burn ashes to serve them, and they are also similar to each other. ”

Regarding the art of witchcraft, even the Gu practitioners within the Miao nationality are secretive, how to cast Gu or how to solve Gu, these are by no means known to outsiders. What's more, some Gu practitioners have not yet had a way to save them, and in the end, they can only let those who fall into Gu fend for themselves. Many Gu addicts don't know how they were tricked until they die, maybe they moved something that shouldn't be moved, or they said something to someone else. However, these are just rumors, and it is not yet known whether this is the case.

Under the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, in addition to the chief Qiao Meijiao, there are also high priests, and below the high priests are wizards, Gu masters, etc., and the hierarchy under them is relatively strict.

Unknowingly, Lu Chengfeng had been here for more than a day, and his external injuries had been bandaged with elixir by a wizard under his sect on the night of his arrival. It's just that he was too badly injured this time, and I heard the wizard say that if he hadn't been saved in time, that arm would have died a long time ago. Although Shangguan Xing'er's internal injuries were serious, fortunately, there was a lot of aura here, and after absorbing the aura for a full day, the injuries gradually began to improve. The tooth marks on Lu Ping'an and Zhang Xiuying's bodies were bitten correctly by Lu Jiancheng.

Speaking of the situation in the cave that day, Lu Ping'an's face showed a creepy expression, as if he had seen some terrifying monster. It turned out that after Lu Chengfeng left that day, Lu Jiancheng was dying, but I don't know why he suddenly seemed to be a different person after being illuminated by the moonlight. When he turned around, Lu Ping'an was like seeing a ghost, only to see Lu Jiancheng's hideous face and scattered eyes, and his appearance was like a dead man crawling out of a grave. Lu Ping'an and Zhang Xiuying were chased and bitten by Lu Jiancheng in a panic, although they didn't know why they were crazy, but they didn't dare to leave, so they had to go back and forth with them in the cave. It's just that Lu Jiancheng's strength is extremely great, and he soon bites the two of them all over his body. In the end, in desperation, Lu Ping'an stunned Lu Jiancheng with a stone, and when Lu Chengfeng arrived, Lu Jiancheng had just woken up from his slumber.

If it weren't for Lu Chengfeng coming in time, I'm afraid this girl would have died a long time ago. There are also corpse keepers in the Ten Thousand Gu Gate, and I heard them say that once the corpse poison spreads, the bitten person will also become a walking corpse, but fortunately, the corpse poison on their body was stopped in time, and they were spared.

Such an unbelievable thing, coupled with Qiao Meijiao's statement that the teeth on the two of them were marked with corpse poison, the only thing Lu Chengfeng could think of was whether this matter would be related to Li Ghost Hall. If it really had something to do with it, then Lu Jiancheng might have become a walking corpse, which would prove why it was useless for him to use pure yang qi to heal his injuries. However, the second uncle had been sick in bed, how could he suddenly have something to do with Li Guitang? The most important thing is that when he was healing Lu Jiancheng at that time, he could still feel his breath and did not die.

After this scrutiny, coupled with his worries about his relatives, Lu Chengfeng was a little exhausted and had a splitting headache for a while. Shangguan Xing'er on the side obviously understood his thoughts, so he put his hand on his arm and said softly, "Don't worry! Second Uncle will be fine!"

However, such comforting words were obviously useless to the two brothers Lu Chengfeng, and it was a bit difficult for them to rest assured.

Chang Jinlu is a master of raising corpses in Wan Gu Sect, and I heard him say that if you want to save Lu Jiancheng, you must take him to a corpse raising place. Lu Chengfeng originally wanted to follow, but according to the rules of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, non-disciples must not approach there, especially the yang energy on the cultivator's body will affect the effect of raising corpses.

The choice of Yin House Feng Shui focuses on the "acupoint qi" of the dragon vein, in short, the earth qi of the burial hole. In ancient books, there are many records of "corpse raising places". Mountain-shaped veins such as "dead tripe acupoint", "dog brain shell acupoint", "wooden hard gun head", "broken face Wenqu", "soil does not become soil", etc., are all vicious places that form the main corpse. There is a cloud in ancient books: "It is difficult to recognize the heavenly machine and it is even more difficult to refine, carefully find the dragon and recognize the stars." The hair veins are delicate and tender, and the Tibetan wind avoids killing the purple congregation. If you want to know the golden color of the bone stone, the yin and yang of movement and stillness are clear. This is the dignity of the grave, and it is left for future generations to be passed on. In many funeral scriptures and folklore, it is believed that the "corpse raising place" is the most terrifying, dangerous and taboo cemetery in funeral feng shui. After the body is mistakenly buried in the "corpse breeding ground", not only will the human muscles and internal organs not decay, but also the hair, teeth, nails, etc. will continue to grow. The corpse absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers due to the light of the sun and the moon, and some of its body functions are restored to life, just like the dead will transform into zombies, wandering around and sucking people's essence and blood for a living.

And artificial corpse raising, that is, finding a place where feng shui is extremely vicious and yin qi is extremely heavy, and after the corpse is buried in it, then the yin and yang are reversed, and the eight doors are reversed. What's more, because they could not bear the death of their relatives, they buried them in the corpse place to maintain their lives. Although the corpses raised are inhumane and brutal and bloodthirsty, there are still some people who are willing to use this to extend the lives of their loved ones. This kind of appalling technique, as early as in ancient times, Chi You had relied on raising corpses to form a death squad against the Yellow Emperor's troops, and the result was indeed invincible. It's just that these corpses can only fight at night because they are afraid of the sun, and many people who don't know see it and think that it is the Yin soldiers who take advantage of the way and avoid it.

The so-called expulsion of corpses also began in ancient times. The ancestor of this kind of magic is also Chi You, who fought with the Yellow Emperor, and many of his subordinates died in battle. In order to bring these soldiers who died in battle back to their hometown, he asked a subordinate who could communicate with ghosts and gods to cast a spell to make the corpses stand in a row, and then bring them back to their hometown. However, the technique of driving out corpses was later reprimanded as an evil sect because the Yellow Emperor won the world, and all the people who could drive out the corpses and the ancient scrolls that recorded this technique were all executed or burned. Rao is like this, there are still some people in the Miao people who will use this kind of technique, but there are few people who show up.
