Chapter 8 Gu Miao Village

You Jingyao faced the enemy with one hand. In the face of Yang Zaixing's fierce attack, there was no chaos at all, and countless palm shadows were transformed into slender hands, and the drips of water around the body were sealed. Yang Zaixing's waves of offensive were helpless, but he was not impatient, and continued to fight steadily, knowing that if he persisted, he would find a flaw sooner or later.

You Jingyao suddenly performed light skills and circled around Yang Zaixing, she knew that the gun was the hegemon of weapons, and the power was amazing when fighting hard, but it was not flexible and it was not easy to adapt. This move really broke Yang Zaixing's rhythm, and he had to follow You Jingyao's circle in place like a spinning top. You Jingyao is known for her light skills, and then she turned faster and faster, turning into a white shadow and spinning endlessly, Yang Zaixing was dizzy, and the silver spear didn't know where to stab, he gritted his teeth violently, picked up the spear and swept away, seeing that it hit You Jingyao, but it was just a phantom, she herself flashed behind her silently and shot out three silver needles. Yang Zaixing was also very good, he didn't turn back, rushed forward a few steps, turned around suddenly, and danced the silver spear like a fly, 'Ding Ding Ding' three times, and all the silver needles were shot down. You Jingyao was gone. He knew what he was planning and secretly screamed, but it was too late, You Jingyao flashed behind him again, and slammed his palm on the back of the heart, knocking him to the ground.

As soon as Yang Zaixing's body touched the ground, he turned over and jumped up, intending to fight again, but he suddenly found that You Jingyao's palm just now did not contain the slightest internal force, and if it was full of internal strength, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said, "Why are your subordinates merciful?" You Jingyao said lightly: "Your "Yang Family Marksmanship" is just like this, full of loopholes, and it is boring to kill. Yang Zaixing said angrily: "That's because I'm not good at learning, and I don't want to insult my family's marksmanship." You Jingyao said: "The Yang family's marksmanship itself has no weaknesses, only you are the one who has weaknesses." Yang Zaixing was puzzled: "What weaknesses do I have? Am I not practicing the Yang family's marksmanship?" You Jingyao said: "The Yang family is a heroic martyr, and the marksmanship has a heroic and righteous spirit, and that momentum alone makes the enemy fearful. And there is only murder, resentment and anger in your marksmanship, but there is no righteousness, what is there to fear in such a Yang family's marksmanship?" Yang Zaixing listened to the arrogance, his upright body softened, and he smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect to let an outsider come to tell the true meaning of the Yang family's marksmanship." You Jingyao said: "We Xixia people also admire the courage and loyalty of your Yang family, and I hope you don't defile the heroic souls of your ancestors." There is more than one road in the world, and it is never too late to turn back. Yang Zaixing's heart trembled, he stood there and thought for a long time, and suddenly bowed deeply to You Jingyao and said, "Thank you for your advice." Without looking back, he turned around and left.

Looking at Yang Zaixing's disappearing back, Dong Guo asked the knife and sighed: "It's over, it's over, this ticket can't be done." You Jingyao said coldly: "Aren't you going to get out?" Dong Guo asked the knife and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Madam is right, why are you stunned, why don't you get out quickly!" The minions saw that Yang Zaixing was defeated, and they had already had the intention of running away, and when they saw the boss speak, they immediately ran away without a trace, leaving only Dong Guo Wendao to stay in place. You Jingyao said: "Why don't you go" Dongguo asked the knife and immediately knelt down, and said: "I am willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and serve under the Blood Knife Castle, Mrs. Wang, Brother Luo will introduce you on your behalf." You Jingyao said: "You are doing things for the Qi State, even if you take refuge, it should be the Qi State, why do you want to turn back to us? Do you want to be a spy of the Qi State?" Dong Guo asked the knife and hurriedly said: "In the next and dare! In the past, the mountains and forests of Juyi were just to eat with a mouthful of food, which was really helpless, and it was not my ambition to rob the house and rob the house, I just hope to serve the Ming Lord and live up to the man's seven-foot body." Qi is just a puppet of the Jin State, it is by no means a good place, after arriving in Sichuan, he heard the name of the Blood Knife Castle, and he had a heart of belonging, but each was his master, it was difficult to deviate, and now there is no concern, so he dared to say it, and since then he has led the horse and fallen and died without regrets. This heart can show the sun and the moon, and hope that Mrs. will be fulfilled. You Jingyao said: "Listening to your tone, you are determined to win, how do you know that I will agree?" Dongguo asked Dao Lang and said: "Madam didn't just say that there is more than one road in the world, as long as you turn back, it is not too late at any time." You Jingyao smiled angrily: "You remember clearly." Dong Guo asked Dao: "Yes!" You Jingyao said: "Then why are you still stunned?" Dongguo asked Dao puzzled: "Madame is talking about ......" You Jingyao said: "Whether you can enter the fort or not is decided by the castle owner, now Luo Tianchu is injured, how can you go back to the fort without a car? Do you want me to go to the castle in person?" Dong Guo asked Dao Daxi and said: "Yes, yes, yes! I will hire a car, Mrs. Wait a minute." ”

Dong Guo asked the knife to hire a car to come back quickly, Luo Tianchu was already unconscious, he carried Luo Tianchu on his back and put it in the carriage, and drove the three out of Tianshui City and rushed to the Blood Knife Castle. There was nothing to do all the way, the carriage turned into a forest path, which was already the sphere of influence of the Blood Knife Fort, and four soldiers appeared on the side of the road, interrogating: "Who is it?" Dong Guo asked the knife and hurriedly said: "I just surrendered to Guibao, there are the lord's wife and eldest lady in the car, and Luo Tianchu was seriously injured, so he can't be delayed." A soldier exclaimed: "Madame is back? Is this true?" Ling Xue'er lifted the curtain and said, "It's really my mother who is back, you get out of the way, Xiao Luo is really seriously injured." The four of them all knew Ling Xue'er, and they had no doubts, so they hurriedly gave a salute and let them go.

You Jingyao looked through the car window and found that Zulong Mountain has changed a lot in recent years, in the past, there was a large area of dense and difficult woods at the bottom of the mountain, but now it has been built into a smooth and wide dirt road, leading directly to the foot of the mountain. The roads are covered with dark sentinels and are well organized, far from being comparable to those of a few years ago. After the carriage went up the mountain, every time the village was opened, the owners of the village saluted You Jingyao, and saw the soldiers of the Bloody Knife Fort, Dongguo asked the knife to hide his inner surprise, thinking that the strength of the Bloody Knife Fort was only comparable to that of Shuibo Liangshan back then, and he was secretly glad that he came to the right place.

It was difficult to get on the carriage and horses further, so Gu Yao found a stretcher and was carried by two soldiers to Luo Tianchu to Tuotianling. In the Blood Knife Palace, Ling Junlai first checked Luo Tianchu's injuries, and found that there was no major problem, and he could rest and recuperate with peace of mind, so he let people take care of him back to the Military Division's Mansion. It was only now that You Jingyao took off Fan Yang's hat, revealing that shocking face. She has no pickiness in her whole body, she is picture-perfect and flawless, her face is not rouge, her hair is not wearing gold and silver, and she shows her cool and glamorous temperament of clear water and hibiscus and natural carving. She is still so young, and she stands with Ling Xue'er like a sister.

Ling Junlai reunited with his beloved wife, but he didn't know where to start with many words, and choked up: "You are finally back." You Jingyao saw her husband's temples frosted, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened a little, her iceberg-like jade face was melted by the emotion of longing, and she secretly blamed herself for being ignorant back then, and ran away with a knife in order to gamble, leaving her lover to worry about her anxiety, and choked up: "You ...... It's always good?" Ling Junlai's eyes were full of tenderness and pity, and he smiled: "Okay, it's been five years, do you know how much I miss you." You Jingyao's tears finally flowed, and she lowered her head and said, "Brother Jun, I was wrong. Ling Junlai shook his head and said: "Silly girl, the fault is obviously mine, just come back, don't think about anything else." You Jingyao nodded, presented the bloody knife with both hands, and said, "This is your knife, return it to you." Ling Jun didn't even look at the knife, and said, "Now that our family is reunited, I want to make up for my previous mistakes and never let you leave again." You Jingyao burst into tears and said with a smile: "Even if you kill the slave family now, you won't leave." Seeing that the castle owner's family was finally reconciled, the heroes applauded and cheered. Then Ling Junlai asked what happened in Tianshui City, and Gongsun Mingyue glanced at each other, both puzzled, not understanding how Li Cheng could know the secret of the financial resources in the castle, fortunately Luo Tianchu found out in time to avoid a disaster, this matter is too strange, but it can only be investigated slowly. After Dongguo asked the knife to show his intentions, Ling Junlai asked him a few more questions, and saw that he was not bad and a righteous person, so he allowed him to enter the fort and settle under Lu Yi Village.

Caoyang Village is located in the dense forest twenty miles north of Zulong Mountain, which is extremely hidden. In the past three years, Zhu Yushi has almost stepped on the poison-infested places, but he has not set foot in this deep forest, just because it has been foggy here for many years, and it is blurred within five zhang, and it is easiest to get lost.

At night, the fog is thicker, and everything within five feet is not clear. Jia Yinyang led the way by feeling, but he didn't make a mistake, Zhu Yushi was secretly glad that he had never come here alone, otherwise he would definitely be trapped by the fog. Along the way, he smelled a lot of poison in the vicinity, and the smell of some feces was the first time, which showed that this place was even more dangerous than Baimao Valley. After walking for another hour, I saw a few fires in the hazy fog ahead. Jia Yinyang said: "It's here." ”

Caoyang Village is located in the open space in front of it, the village is surrounded by a wooden fence, and a blazing stove is erected on both sides of the gate. Zhu Yushi saw that the layout of the village was clearly visible, all of them were wooden houses of the same color, and secretly wondered that there was no fog in the village, as if an invisible wall blocked the fog outside, so he asked Jia Yinyang for the reason. Jia Yinyang said unhappily: "Observe the surroundings before asking, see what the difference is, the "Gu King Secret Record" for the teacher is recorded, think about it." ”

Zhu Yushi said "yes", began to observe the surroundings, his eyes suddenly lit up, and found that there was a row of milky white long grass planted along the fence of the village, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be Qingling grass, this grass is muddy and white, shaped like a lily, the smell is sweet, it can break through the fog of obstacles, detoxify red poison, and it is only produced in Shudi." Jia Yinyang nodded and said, "This is like words." "It turns out that the "Secret Record of the Gu King" is not only a treasure book of Gu arts, but also records thousands of related poisons and herbs, Zhu Yushi has memorized them, and what he lacks is experience.

When I came to the entrance of the village, I saw a Miao girl sitting in front of the door, she was wearing a cloth with broken flowers on a blue background, a linen dress with a red shirt on a blue background and a pleated skirt with black and blue, a string of sterling silver bell necklaces around her neck, and silver rings on her hands and feet, and she was sitting there dozing. Brother Lan called in Miao language: "Is it Jiang Nu'er? What are you doing here?" Zhu Yushi could already understand the Miao language, only to see the Miao girl named Jiang Nu'er rubbing her eyes and standing up, the bell all over her body kept ringing, and she said happily when she saw them: "Uncle Lan, you are back, grandpa is very anxious, let me greet the Gu King here, is this the Gu King? Please accept the worship of the juniors." "The Gu Miao clan respects and humility based on the level of Gu art, Jia Yinyang is especially respected, and the patriarch is Jiang Nu'er's grandfather, Jiang Keshan. ”

By the light of the fire, I saw that Jiang Nu'er was delicate and lovely, her big watery eyes were as clear as water, and her eyes revealed the girl's naughty innocence when she turned her eyes. Jia Yinyang asked her to be exempt, and when Jiang Nu'er looked at Zhu Yu, she said curiously: "Aren't you from our clan, what are you doing here?" Zhu Yushi replied in Miao language: "When it rains in Zhu, you are the apprentice of the Gu King." Jiang Nu'er smiled: "I see, come in, everyone is waiting." ”

As soon as she entered the village, Jiang Nu'er shouted in a crisp voice: "Everyone wake up, Lord Gu has come to help us." "Her voice is already beautiful, and with the crisp accompaniment of the bells on her body, it is as light and pleasant as singing.

After a while, several stoves in the village were lit, and the villagers came out of the houses one after another and bowed to Jia Yinyang. Suddenly, I heard an old voice say, "Is the poisonous baby back?" I saw an old Miao man wearing a red and jute shirt and a black scarf walking out of the crowd, it was the patriarch Jiang Keshan. Jia Yinyang hurriedly said: "Uncle Jiang, are you okay?" Jiang Keshan took his hand with a smile in his eyes and scolded: "Okay, you poisonous baby, you haven't come back after being away from home for many years, have you forgotten all the clansmen." Jia Yinyang was ashamed and said: "Dare, I heard that the villagers have all been tricked by Gu, it is important to save people, take me to see it." Jiang Keshan said: "Exactly, follow me." They followed him to a clearing on the west side of the village, where a large grass hut had been set up improvise, and the door was closed, so that the strong smell of herbs could be smelled in the distance. Zhu Yushi has long been accustomed to this smell, and now the smell on his body is like this, every time he goes down the mountain with Luo Tianchu to play, he has to wash for half a day.

Jiang Keshan said: "We are afraid of Gu poison infection, so we will concentrate the people in Gu here. Jia Yinyang nodded, and was about to enter the house, when he suddenly heard a villager crying: "You must save my man." Jia Yinyang looked back and saw that all the villagers were kneeling down and weeping bitterly. Jiang Shanren sighed: "They are all family members of the Gu people, we are Gu seedlings but were harmed by outsiders with Gu, it is really embarrassing to be at home, but the means of Gu people are extremely clever, we are indeed helpless, fortunately, we still have you, the Gu King, we can only rely on you, poisonous baby." Jia Yinyang said: "Don't worry." "At the moment with Zhu Yu, Jiang Keshan and Jiang Nuer entered the grass hut together.

The stench in the house was strong, all of them were emitted from the people in the Gu, and there were twenty straw mats on the ground, and there were people lying on them, men, women, and children, a few were still conscious, and most of them were unconscious, except for their breath, they were no different from the dead. Jiang Nuer said: "They have all lost their ability to take care of themselves, and they are taken care of by me and my grandfather when they eat, drink and go to the toilet." Zhu Yushi said: "Why didn't their relatives come to help?" Jiang Nu'er said angrily: "Don't you see that the Gu among them is contagious? As long as the people with the low 'Sun Mountain' are close to them, they will be eroded by the Gu poison, and five of them will be infected." Huh, your Sun Mountain is very high......" Jiang Nu'er carefully observed Zhu Yushi's Yin Hall, and found that his yang energy was second only to Jia Yinyang, and he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Jia Yinyang didn't say a word, walked around the room, and found that the Gu in each person was almost different, some people were obviously thin, but their bellies were as big as pregnant women. Some people have a normal complexion, but the rest of the skin is dead gray. Some of the hands and toes are red and swollen as an egg, and the tentacles are as soft as eggs. Some of them are covered with poisonous sores, and they can't stop bleeding pus, and the smell is unbearable. Some of them were red all over their bodies, as if they had been fished out of a dye vat, and their tentacles were hot. The most pitiful of all was a little boy, whose navel grew a three-foot-tall white flower, and the stalk was so thick and hard that his navel was almost cracked, and the pain was unbearable. The symptoms of the rest of the people are also strange, the only thing that is the same is that none of them are dead, but life is worse than death. Zhu Yushi gasped, goosebumps all over his body, he had never seen such a weird and terrifying scene, he glanced at Jia Yinyang, saw that his expression was solemn, and there was a look of deep thought in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something else, and he didn't speak for a long time. He is the last hope in the village, and everyone hopes that he can turn the tide and save people from fire and water. Who knew that he suddenly sighed and said, "I can't do anything." Jiang Nu'er shouted: "What! You can't solve it?" Jia Yinyang shook his head and said: "You can't solve it, you can ask for another master." Jiang Nu'er couldn't hide her disappointment, and shouted: "You are the Gu King, how can there be a Gu that you can't solve!" Jia Yinyang still shook his head and said, "If you can't solve it, you can't solve it, and I can't help it." Jiang Keshan frowned and said, "Could it be that you abandoned the Gu technique after following the 'Moon God', and now you are just in vain?" Jia Yin Yang said: "Uncle Jiang atoned for his sins, this is indeed the case." Jiang Keshan said: "But your skills are still there, at least you can give it a try, these people are terminally ill, so they simply die as a live horse doctor, and life and death are up to heaven." Jia Yinyang sighed: "If it can't be cured, don't delay your efforts." Jiang Keshan lowered his face and said: "This is your fault, it doesn't matter if you can't cure it, you finally tried your best, but you didn't even want to try, but why? Could it be that you have been away from home for many years, estranged from us, and you don't even want to contribute?" Jia Yin Yang said: "And dare, the little nephew's skills are low, and he doesn't know where to start, so let's ask others to solve it." Jiang Keshan said angrily: "If others can solve it, why should you be invited?" Jia Yinyang shook his head vigorously and said: "It's not that I don't understand, it's that I can't solve it, Uncle Jiang don't blame it." Jiang Shanren said angrily: "Who is your Uncle Jiang, you have disappointed me so much, from now on Caoyang Village will no longer be your home!

After that, he slammed the door angrily, stood in front of the door and announced loudly: "Everyone go back and prepare the coffin, the Gu King can't help us." There was an uproar outside the house, the whole village cried loudly, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered, and some people scolded in anger: "What a bullshit Gu King, it's just a waste of fame!" In less than a moment, the villagers left in a grieving voice, Jiang Keshan snorted coldly, and also took Jiang Nu'er away, leaving only their master and apprentice in the house.

Only Zhu Yushi knew that the master had not only not abandoned the Gu technique in the past few years, but had also made great progress, and the more difficult things were, the more difficult they were, the more they would rise to the occasion, and they would never give up until they reached their goal. Today's performance was very unusual, not at all like his style. Jia Yinyang glanced at him and said, "What are you looking at, let's go, are you still waiting for someone to come and catch up." Zhu Yushi glanced at the patient on the ground and hesitated: "Master, I don't think the Gu among these people is all incomprehensible, if you try it, you may still have a chance." Jia Yinyang was slightly stunned, and sneered: "You said you can solve the Gu?" Zhu Yushi said: "I'm not sure, but I think it's worth a try." I just don't understand one thing, and I want to ask the teacher. Jia Yinyang said impatiently: "If there is a fart, let it go." Zhu Yushi said: "Even the disciple thinks that he may be able to solve it, how can he not see it with the master's skill, it is ......" Jia Yinyang glared at him and said: "What is it!" Zhu Yushi peeked at him and said: "Could it be that the master has something unspeakable?" It's not that he can't solve it, but he doesn't want to solve it, is that so?" Jia Yinyang's expression changed, he looked out the window nervously, lowered his voice and scolded: "Fart, guess what!" Zhu Yushi said: " Regardless of whether the disciple said it or not, after all, it is twenty lives, and it can't be left alone, what does the master think?" Jia Yinyang sneered: "The teacher said that you can't solve it, you have to solve it yourself, and you can't help it for the teacher." Zhu Yushi suddenly made up his mind, raised his head and looked directly at Jia Yinyang, and said, "Since this is the case, the disciple will simply go out and give it a try." Jia Yinyang's heart moved, he didn't expect that the little apprentice who had always obeyed orders and spoke few words would be so resolute. You must know that the risk of solving Gu is extremely great, and if you make a slight mistake, you will be eaten by Gu poison, and you can't help but have more respect and appreciation for this little apprentice, but your tone is still contemptuous, and she deliberately sneered: "Whatever you want, there is a small wooden house to the north of the village, and the teacher will wait for you there, give up early, don't let the teacher wait for a long time." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hut.
