After another moment, the thunder and lightning on everyone's bodies finally dissipated, and the internal force gradually recovered. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The number of people counted by various sects and factions, and a total of more than fifty disciples died this time, and most of them were gnawed to death by demon beasts, and even the corpses could not be found.

Except for the six commanders, almost all of the orcs were buried in the valley, and they were also considered to have suffered heavy casualties, making great contributions to the cause of demon eradication.

With heavy faces, everyone supported each other, trampled on the bones of the beast, and slowly walked out of the valley.

After everyone left, there was a dead silence in the valley, so quiet that it seemed that you could hear the sound of Gu worms gnawing on the internal organs of the Yuan Ling Sect Master.

At this time, several demon beasts slowly walked out of the stone caves on both sides of the cliff, looked left and right, cautiously walked to the side of the Blood Devouring Demon King, gently lifted his body, and dragged it to the stone cave.

After a while, two more ghosts appeared on the ground in the valley, and they also walked to the Chaos Ghost King, looked at each other, and entered the Ghost King and followed the ground.

The Fire Cliff Valley has returned to the dead silence just now, but the ghosts and spirits are wandering around, the miasma is swirling around the mountains and forests, and the lava deep in the valley is full of firelight that makes the sky even more red and bloody!

......

After everyone left the valley, the various factions began to say goodbye to each other, and the nameless real person shuttled through the crowd and said goodbye to everyone one by one.

Chu Haotian walked into the half-orc group and said to the suppurative marshal: "Thank you for your great help, I deeply regret the death of the nobles, I hope you can convey my gratitude to the wolf king when you go back." If he asks for help in the future, he will come to his aid, and he will repay him with springs!"

The purulent marshal grinned and said: "Little brother is too careful, since it is to send troops to help, it is expected that there will be casualties, besides, this time the demon disciples are so fierce, it is inevitable that the soldiers will be lost, little brother does not have to be sad, I will definitely convey the sincerity to the wolf king!"

Chu Haotian thought to himself, although this half-orc race is an alien, it is also a bold person, and he values love and righteousness more than the sky, and it is even better than that of humans.

After thinking about it, he reached out and patted the chest of the suppurative handsome, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, then I wish you a safe journey, and I won't send it next!"

The suppurative handsome also learned the farewell method of the Central Plains people, raised his hands and clasped his fists and said: "There will be a period later!"

Chu Haotian looked at his cute movements, and also responded with a smile: "There will be a period later!"

After saying goodbye, the six half-beast commanders and the few remaining half-beast warriors swaggered on the road.

Chu Haotian looked at their dashing backs, and sighed again......

On the way back to the valley, Chu Haotian asked Mei Gui about Gu poison and witchcraft, and Mei Gui told him all the legends about the Golden Silkworm Gu that he had heard from his father when he was a child.

Legend has it that the method of raising golden silkworm Gu is to use a hundred kinds of insects, while the Yi people only want twelve. Some Gu makers emphasize the need to gather poisonous insects on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is influenced by the traditional belief that poisonous gas is most abundant on May 5th.

Mei Gui don't talk about what her father said back then: "Gu mother, more than the Dragon Boat Festival, take advantage of the Yang Qi when it is at its peak to use medicine, so that it can cause people to get sick and die." It is also made of snakes, insects, and centipedes, and if it cannot be rescued, it can be killed with one touch. ”

Before raising Gu, the main hall should be cleaned, the whole family should take a bath, sincerely burn incense and light candles in front of the ancestral gods, and pray silently to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. Then in the center of the main hall, dig a big pit, bury a large vat down, the vat should choose a small mouth and a large belly, so that it is easy to cover. And the smaller the mouth, the less you can see what is going on in the tank, the more likely it is for people to be horrified of what is in the tank, and to be in awe of the horror.

The mouth of the jar must be as flat as the earth. Wait until the fifth day of the fifth month of the summer calendar, go to the field and catch twelve kinds of reptiles at will, if it is not the reptiles caught on the day of Duanyang, they can't raise Gu, put them in the tank, and then cover the lid. These reptiles are usually poisonous snakes, eels, centipedes, frogs, scorpions, earthworms, large green caterpillars, praying mantises, ...... In short, there are no flying creatures, and no four-legged running creatures, just some poisonous reptiles.

After these twelve reptiles were put into the tank, the owner prayed once every night after falling asleep, and once a day before people got up. Pray for a year, not for a day. Moreover, when cultivating Gu and praying, it must not be known to outsiders. If outsiders know about it, the Gu raised by himself will be collected by the wizard with a demon method and used by the wizard, and the owner will die as a family. Even if it is not taken away by the wizard, after becoming a Gu, it will harm the master.

During the year, those reptiles devour each other in the tank, the poisonous ones eat the less poisonous ones, the strong ones eat the weak ones, and finally only one remains, and after this reptile eats the other eleven, it also changes its shape and color.

After a year of cultivation, the Gu Mother dug up the tank and hid it in a secret room with no air and no light. It is said that the things that the Gu mother likes to eat are scrambled eggs with lard, rice and the like, after three or four years of raising, the Gu mother is about more than a zhang long, and the owner chooses an auspicious day to open the cylinder cover and let the Gu mother fly out by herself.

After the Gu mother leaves home, sometimes she can turn into a fireball and hover over the woods in the mountains, and sometimes she can turn into a black shadow and go back and forth between the houses in the village.

The time when the Gu Mother's magic is at its most is dusk, and every time the Gu Mother returns home, she still lives in the tank. On the day when it eats a person, the owner does not have to feed it. It is said that the benefit of raising Gu is not that Gu directly steals treasures outside like thieves and comes back for the owner's use, but to borrow the aura of the Gu to make everything that the Gu raiser do smoothly.

If the master wants to do business, borrowing the aura of the heavy Gu, he can make a lot of profits. If the master wants to be promoted, with the help of Gu's aura, he can go straight to the clouds. On the other hand, if the family of the victim of Gu knows about it and asks a special wizard to take away the Gu Mother, the owner of the Gu will do everything and the whole family will die.

In addition to serving the Gu family on a daily basis, on the 24th day of June in the summer calendar every year, they have to make a grand sacrifice to the Gu mother. This ritual lasts for three days, that is, on the 24th, 25th, and 26th, during these three days, the master should cook a fresh pig, a chicken, and a sheep every day, and when the stars are in the sky at night, the whole family will move the pigs, sheep and chickens into the secret room where the Gu is raised, and prostrate and pray, and after the prayer is completed, the pigs, sheep and chickens will be chopped up and thrown into the tank.

It is said that Gu eats a lot of food and has a high magic power. During the festival, outsiders are not allowed to participate, and the news must not be leaked, otherwise there is a danger to the life of the family. In addition to the method of polyinsect biting each other, various special poisonous Gu have special manufacturing methods.
