According to legend, when the Gu was first created, the Miao people attached it to women and used it to harm others. Because the Gu was also called "grass ghost" in Miao, the woman who first used her body to raise the Gu was also called the Grass Ghost Lady.
However, the Gu was vicious and evil, and it was harmful to people after all. If you used your body to raise it, you would be attacked by it, suffer all kinds of pain and eventually die. The Miao people racked their brains to come up with one or two safe, powerful and strong methods to raise the Gu, but no matter what, the Gu raised was not as powerful as the Gu raised by the Grass Ghost Lady.
All this destined that the Grass Ghost Lady became a very rare group among the Miao people who raised Gu. After all, raising Gu was to harm people, and she died before harming others. It was not a suitable business in any way.
Among the grass ghosts, there are some who can be called the kings. It is said that these grass ghosts are gifted and have raised more than 99 kinds of poisonous insects with their bodies without dying. Therefore, their bodies have become the best breeding ground for the poisonous insects, especially their blood, which can turn ordinary poisonous insects into ferocious man-eating poisonous insects that eat living people.
Such grass ghosts are simply a moving treasure for some evil sorcerers in the Xuanmen.
Thousands of years ago, a genius from the Taiping Dao went deep into the Miao territory for thousands of miles, captured the strongest grass ghosts in each Miao village, gathered a hundred people, killed them and took their blood, collected a pool of blood, and then captured an extremely rare fist-sized human-faced spider, put it in the pool, and swallowed up the blood of these grass ghosts. On the day of the success, thunder fell from the sky, trying to wipe out this evil creature that disrupted yin and yang, but failed. The human-faced spider also became as big as a person, with red hair all over its body, and many eyes grew on its buttocks. It was extremely creepy and very cruel. It didn't recognize its master at all, and directly ate the Taiping Dao genius who cultivated it alive and fled into the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The Taiping Dao was most interested in this kind of strange evil creature. How could they let go of such a powerful thing when they heard about it? They sent a large number of people to capture the human-faced spider in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and suffered great losses. After the success, they spent a long time studying the human-faced spider.
They were surprised to find that this human-faced spider no longer spit out silk, but spit out some filth-like filth. When this filth is cast through evil magic, it will become the most deadly murderous thing, which can penetrate into the flesh of living people, devour people's blood and vitality, and finally bloom and sprout, turning into some tough green spider silk. As time goes by, these green spider silks will spread wildly in the human body, first on the epidermis, then on the internal organs, and the whole person will be covered with green spider silk. Moreover, the growth of these green spider silks seems to have no end, getting longer and longer, and more and more dense, and finally forming a green cocoon, enclosing the person in it...
The evil sorcerers of Taiping Dao like this filth very much, and do everything possible to get this thing on the enemy, turning each enemy into a green cocoon, and calling it - the silk-wrapped Gu! !
Qingzhu proudly told this secret, not caring about my increasingly dark face.
I know that this is an undisguised revenge, revenge for my disrespect to the Tianmeng!
Finally, Qingzhu picked up a small knife for cutting fruit from the small coffee table next to her, slashed it in the air, and said with a smile: "I once cut open a green cocoon. Guess what? The person inside looked lifelike. Except that several green spider silks would drill out of each pore, it looked exactly the same as when it was alive. Then I poked it with a small wooden stick, and with a "click", a hole was poked in his skin. His stomach was full of wriggling spider silk. It was simply the most perfect specimen in the world. I have never seen such skin, a thin layer, very crispy..."
As she said that, she picked up the leftover rice crust on the coffee table, stuffed a piece into my mouth while I was stunned, squinted her eyes and said: "Well, it's almost the same sound as chewing this..."
I felt sick and quickly spit out the rice crust and touched the green hairs on the wound: "So, these just look like hair, but in fact... are spider silk?"
Qingzhu nodded.
"You didn't make a mistake, did you?"
I said cautiously: "Silk-binding Gu, Silk-binding Gu, since it has the word Gu, it means that it should be considered a kind of Gu, right? Lao Bai has a Gu King in his body, it is impossible not to notice it!!"
"Gu King..."
Qingzhu sneered: "Ten thousand Gu and one King, this gimmick is really scary.
I went to Hei Miao a while ago, and heard that a Hei Miao chieftain lost a Gu King, which was stolen by her lover...
The Gu King you are talking about is this stolen Gu King, right?
You probably don't know yet? This Gu King is very special, not just the Ten Thousand Gu King, the Hei Miao chieftain, is actually a grass ghost woman, who used her body to warm countless Gu worms, which made her ugly, but her blood is indeed a sacred object for raising Gu, and this stolen Gu King, she almost uses her own blood to guard every day, so this Gu King is much more powerful than ordinary Gu Kings...
But it just swallowed the blood of a grass ghost woman. The Silk-wrapped Gu was vomited out by the evil creature that swallowed the blood of a hundred grass ghost women. It was obvious who was stronger. How could a weak person detect the means of a strong person? It didn't dare to touch the Silk-wrapped Gu. If it touched the little bug, it would be finished! "
It was very frustrating to meet such a know-it-all. In front of him, we have almost no secrets, but I was not panicked at all. Since Qingzhu knew this thing and had such an expression, it meant that she had a 100% way to resolve the Silk-wrapped Gu, but she would inevitably be teased and ridiculed.
With her life guaranteed, who would still have shame?
I immediately stood up and ran to boil water and make tea like a lackey. I was afraid that the wooden recliner was too hard and would hurt me, so I hurriedly put a blanket under it. Finally, I patted my chest and promised that the evil heretics should be punished by everyone. Since the Taiping Dao has appeared again, as a staunch supporter of the Tianmeng, I will definitely not stop fighting it. Let me be the pioneer this time and kill their minions first!
Qingzhu looked at me in astonishment, probably wanting to see where my bottom line was. When she confirmed that I had no bottom line, she was very smart and did not pursue the previous disrespect. After all, the fun of beating someone is that the other party wants to resist but cannot. If the other party lies on the ground and lets you do whatever you want, or even smiles and hands over a small whip, shouting "hard, hard", then no one will have the heart to continue beating.
Qingzhu was obviously disgusted. He sat up and calmly changed the subject: "Tell me about your experience in detail. I am very curious about how you ran into Taiping Dao. Although you are a ceremonial officer, we have taken good confidentiality measures for you. There is no reason for them to know you. Besides, you haven't grown up yet. I always feel that... they are not coming for you."
I smiled bitterly and recounted all my experiences in detail.
"So, you bumped into it yourself? Your luck is really..."
Qingzhu laughed dumbly, thought for a while, and sighed: "The parents who lost their children, the silk-wrapped Gu, the little girl, the monster in wolf skin, the woman who flashed in the hallucination...
Things are really complicated. These things... At first glance, there is no extremely obvious connection...
There are too few clues, and you know too little about these monsters. I can't be sure what you encountered for a while!
Forget it, you should take me to see your friend first, and remove the silk-wrapped Gu from your bodies. After waking up the couple and your friend, maybe the whole thing will be cleared up."
With that, Qingzhu went downstairs and asked me to lead the way to the second floor to see Brother Yaozi.
Facts have proved that although the existence of Tianmeng is not popular, the power behind it is indeed awe-inspiring.
As soon as Qingzhu arrived, both the anxious Zhang Xinya and the bruised Lao Bai began to have strange looks in their eyes.
Brother Yaozi's condition was worse than I thought. After Qingzhu looked at him, she frowned and thought for a long time, and finally sighed softly, saying that the silk-wrapped Gu had begun to move to the internal organs, which was very troublesome and would take some time to cure.
Moreover, she was very sure that Brother Yaozi must have seen some images of the caster to be so serious, which was very important to the whole thing.
She carefully examined me again, and was also very curious about why Brother Yaozi and I were both infected at the same time, but the degree of deterioration was so different. Unfortunately, she looked at it for a long time and did not come to any conclusion. She just said that it might be related to the Earth Spirit Pearl. The Earth Spirit Pearl was born from the dragon veins, and it was originally the strongest thing. There were two Earth Spirit Pearls in my body, connecting the luck of the earth veins, and it was difficult for evil spirits to invade my body. Even if it was a vicious thing like the Silk Wrap Gu, it would not be easy to take me down.
I asked Qingzhu how to remove the Silk Wrap Gu, and Qingzhu said five words mysteriously-one thing subdues another thing!
Then, she whispered to Lao Bai for a long time and asked Lao Bai to go out to make some preparations. I don't know what she arranged specifically. I only saw that when Lao Bai left, the smile on his face was as vicious as it could be. At that time, I had a vague feeling of uneasiness in my heart, and I always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Lao Bai was gone for most of the day. He left in the afternoon and came back at 10pm. He was carrying a huge fertilizer bag on his shoulder. It was bulging and looked quite heavy. From time to time, the bag would wriggle once or twice, so there must be something alive inside.
After Lao Bai moved a large jar from the second floor and poured out the contents of the bag, Zhang Xinya was completely shocked.
Because... the bag was full of toads!!
When the jar was half full of this stuff, for some women who could not bear it very well, it was even more uncomfortable than being fed a mouthful of shit. I could see the hair on Zhang Xinya's neck standing up.
Even Qingzhu was a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Didn't I say to use frogs as much as possible? Why did you get so many toads?"
Lao Bai smiled very meanly, rubbed his face that was swollen like a pig's head after being beaten by Brother Yaozi, and said hurriedly, "Didn't you say that toads are actually better than frogs in treatment, but the process is a bit painful. Yaozi is a good man, he is not afraid of suffering, if he wants to fight, he will fight!"
I can see that Lao Bai's grandson has never been a generous person. His heart is like a needle hole, and he holds grudges. This is clearly a revenge. I don't know where he caught so many toads. They are ugly, as big as fists, and the poisonous sores on their backs are comparable to soybeans. It feels like they will burst out smelly pus if squeezed...
Qingzhu shook his head and waved his hand. Lao Bai called Wushuang, stripped Brother Yaozi naked and threw him into the urn.
That scene... is really hard to describe.
Now I finally understand what Qingzhu meant by "one thing conquers another".
Toads eat spiders!!
The silk-wrapped Gu originated from the human-faced spider. Even if the human-faced spider was cultivated to be evil, it was still a spider after all. The toads were very interested in what it spewed out!!
I could see the toads in the jar swarming up and hanging on Brother Yaozi's body. At first, they just used their tongues to roll away the green hair on Brother Yaozi's body, and then they put their big mouths on his skin and sucked fiercely. However, any toad that swallowed the silk-wrapped Gu died in a short time. The corpse turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye and rotted very quickly. The room was filled with a pungent stench.
I was completely scared when I saw this scene, and hurriedly pulled Qingzhu and said, "There are many things that restrain spiders. Can you change to something else? I can't stand this. If it doesn't work, please knock me out and throw me in."
Fortunately, Qingzhu said that I didn't have to do this.
Brother Yaozi was just delayed and his condition was very serious, so he had to use this method. My condition was not that bad. I just needed to grind the bird's beak into powder, mix it with honey, and rub it on the wound. It would not even take one night for the spider silk to fall off automatically, and the silk-wrapped Gu would be removed.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and Lao Bai had prepared all the materials Qingzhu needed early on this trip. After mixing the honey and the bird's beak powder together, it showed a texture and color similar to plaster. My wound was not big, so Lao Bai just grabbed two handfuls and slapped it on, and that was it.
At first, I only felt that the wound was cool and there was nothing unusual, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
But not long after, I clearly felt that something was penetrating through my wound and into the flesh. It was a cool air that passed through the flesh and reached the abdominal cavity, and instantly turned into a raging flame.
Boom!
I felt like my whole body was on fire, the burning pain spread through my internal organs, and my abdomen was getting bigger as if it was blown up. I screamed and knelt on the ground, holding my stomach. I felt an indescribable nausea, and I opened my mouth and vomited. What came out of my mouth was a pool of black water. After a short buzzing in my ears, the whole world suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it was suffocating.
Click, click...
Suddenly, waves of footsteps came from behind me, like the sound of dragging slippers in an open space...
My eyes were blurry, and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, but I still turned my head instinctively.
A blurry figure was walking towards me step by step.
Long hair covered the entire head, so that the face could not be seen clearly, and she was wearing a loose white robe...
It was her! !
The woman I saw in my dream! !
This time, the other party was no longer a flash, but was getting closer and closer to me. When it came in front of me, its waist "clicked" and bent down at 90 degrees, and its head screamed and came close to my face. I rubbed my eyes hard, trying to see the other party's face clearly.
The other party seemed to know my intention and wanted me to see what she looked like, so she raised her pale hands and lifted her hair a little bit...
Then... a mouth full of sharp teeth emerged and bit at my face with a "wow".
I had already prepared myself mentally and was not frightened. I just didn't expect this thing to be so fierce. Driven by the desire to survive, with a momentum of living against death, I roared and rushed towards the other party...
