The World Against the Evil Owl

Chapter 340 The Eighth Most Vicious Poisonous Insect

When Yang Tian heard it, he was stunned for a moment, thinking: Isn’t this little girl making trouble? How can she help with this kind of sorcery, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Stop making trouble, this matter You can't help me, besides... those people are all masters of this kind of magic, I don't want to drag you into this kind of trouble because of my affairs... Okay, Xiao Lan, tell me Where is your home, I will take you back..."

"No..." But when Yang Tian was about to push away, Xiaolan held Yang Tian's hand tighter, pouted her small mouth, and shouted persistently: "Don't underestimate people, my grandpa used to be an ancient The researchers of the Institute of Cultural Relics and Cultural Heritage, if my grandma hadn't discovered the research on the 'Gu' technique, he would definitely be able to crack this kind of magic..."

"Oh?" Yang Tian became interested when he heard Xiaolan's words, and asked with a smile, "Has your grandfather studied the 'Gu' technique?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Lan nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "My grandfather once fell into this kind of 'Gu'. This kind of dreadful Gu is not the Miao people's patent. It is widely circulated. At first, Gu refers to the insects born in the container. Later, the moths born after the decay of the grain and the insects produced by the deterioration of other objects were also called Gu. The ancients believed that Gu had mysterious properties and huge The toxicity of poisonous insects, so it is also called poisonous poisonous insects, can enter the human body through food and drink to cause diseases. Patients are confused by ghosts, and their minds are confused. Most of the poisonous insects refer to naturally occurring mysterious poisonous insects. Concepts and practices, according to research by scholars, people in the Central Plains during the Warring States period used and taught the method of making Gu to harm people, and in my grandfather's time, "Gu" has evolved into a kind of evil magic that harms people...then At that time, my grandfather excavated an ancient tomb for national research, but the local people refused to excavate all the personnel of the institute, and used the "Gu" technique to frame them. At that time, all nineteen researchers died, and only my grandfather was alive. I came back. According to my grandma’s recollection, every time this kind of poisonous insect attacks, it makes my grandfather’s life worse than death. Later, my grandfather heard people say that using a kind of ‘maggot wood’ can kill the poisonous insect in the body. Later, my grandfather personally ran a monkey rock..."

"Monkey rock? Why is it monkey rock again?" Yang Tian couldn't help calling out in surprise after hearing this familiar name, interrupting Xiaolan's words.

"Yes, because the terrain of Monkey Rock is dangerous, no one can enter or leave this rocky mountain range, so there are many precious herbs and tree species there, which are unique in the world..." Xiaolan smiled proudly.

Monkey Rock is a rocky mountain range on the border of Yunnan. As Xiaolan said, this mountain range, because it looks like a monkey, and the entire mountain range is covered with rocks, hence the name - Monkey Rock.

No one has ever entered Monkey Rock. From the outside, there are many strange-shaped tree species growing in the crevices of the rock. They are tree species that have never been seen in the world. Even botanists can't name this tree.

The mountains are surrounded by rocks with no edges and corners at a ninety-degree angle. It is impossible for anyone to climb such a mountain. Someone once tried to enter Monkey Rock Mountain by using the method of falling from the sky, but these people, No one came out alive, and even the helicopter that sent them crashed at the bottom of Monkey Rock Mountain.

There are many legends about this mountain range. The local people worship this monkey rock mountain as a god. As long as someone is sick or some kind of disaster strikes, the local people will come here one after another. The monkeys worshiped at the foot of the rock, praying for the mountain god to bless them.

After Hua Xingqiang mentioned this monkey rock mountain, Yang Tian didn't take it seriously, and now that Xiaolan mentioned this strange mountain located on the border of Yunnan again, Yang Tian had to think of the cult 'Beiqiu Mountain' again. Killed, because these strange things are closely related to this cult, as the saying goes: Where there is poison, there must be herbs to detoxify, and on this monkey rock mountain that no one has ever entered, Xiaolan's grandfather Since we can find this kind of herbal medicine that undoes the 'gu' poison, it means that this is the place where the poison is kept...

"Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong with you? You also know Monkey Rock Mountain?" Seeing Yang Tian's dazed look, Xiao Lan couldn't help asking worriedly.

"Well..." Yang Tian nodded, and then shook his head: "I just read about Monkey Rock Mountain in the information, and today I also heard a friend talk about the legend about Monkey Rock Mountain, and I didn't care at first, but ...By the way, Xiaolan, you continue to talk, did your grandfather find a way to detoxify later?"

"Yeah!" Xiaolan nodded, glanced at Yang Tian as if she was a little disappointed, and said in a low voice: "But... Brother Tian, ​​you can't tell anyone... If you tell, our family may be retaliated against of……"

"Oh? You mean the Miao family knows the 'Gu' technique?" Yang Tian asked.

"Yeah, they never talk about human relations with others. Once they find out that the Gu worm they planted has been killed, they will retaliate wildly, and... my grandfather is the only one who survived the torture of the Gu worm. So..." Xiaolan said hesitantly.

"Well, I understand!" Yang Tian nodded, in order not to make Xiao Lan worry about his family, Yang Tian said softly: "Xiao Lan, you should stop talking, I'm fine, I think I will find a solution ..."

"No... Brother Tian, ​​I... I didn't mean that..." Xiaolan thought Yang Tian was angry when she heard it, and immediately raised her head nervously, took Yang Tian's arm and explained: "I mean...you You can't spread this method of detoxification, there is no other meaning..."

"Haha..." Yang Tian saw Xiaolan's nervous appearance, laughed and said, "Okay, okay, look at you...see how nervous you are? I didn't say anything, why are you nervous?"

"I'm afraid you'll be angry!" Xiaolan pouted and threw herself into Yang Tian's arms, whispering.

"Xiao Lan, I know... this may be a trouble for you, a trouble that you will never get rid of, my business, I don't want to involve your family, so... don't talk about it! I am doing it for your own good Do you understand?" Yang Tian patted Xiaolan's back lightly, and said with a faint smile, as a man, he was also afraid that such a sorcery would torture an innocent person because of himself, although Yang Tian really wanted to know what it was How to unravel this kind of Gu insect technique, but when Yang Tian thought of Xiaolan's words, he couldn't arouse that kind of interest in his heart anymore.

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you talking about?" When Xiaolan heard what Yang Tian said, she immediately became unhappy, pushed Yang Tian away, sat on the seat less than [-] centimeters away from Yang Tian, ​​and said angrily: "You What do you think of me? Didn’t you think of me as your woman? Hmph... Except...except for not giving you my body, I gave you everything, but you still treat me as an outsider... I got angry and the consequences were serious..."

"Hehe..." Yang Tian chuckled, stretched out his hand, pulled the angry Xiao Lan back into his arms, and explained: "Don't be angry, I really don't mean anything else, I just..."

"Stop talking! I know everything!" Before Yang Tian finished speaking, his mouth was held down by Xiaolan's little hand. Xiaolan looked at Yang Tian with some emotion, and said softly, "Brother Tian, I will tell you everything I know, I only hope that you will not encounter such vicious Gu techniques..."

Speaking of this, Xiaolan paused for a moment, regardless of whether Yang Tian objected to her or not, she continued: "The method of making poisonous insects is generally to put a variety of highly poisonous poisonous insects, such as snakes and scorpions, into the same utensil. There are many types of Gu, and the most influential ones are snake Gu, dog Gu, cat ghost Gu, scorpion Gu, toad Gu, and insect Gu. Gu, Flying Gu, etc., the most vicious is Corpse Gu..."

"Corpse insect Gu?" Hearing this name, Yang Tian immediately felt his pores stand up, and he felt a shuddering feeling.

"Yes, corpse worms are the most vicious kind of worms. The breeding of this kind of poison is very special. This kind of worms are the first season of corpse worms grown from rotting corpses as the object of breeding. The corpse worms are extracted Finally, put it in a damp ceramic jar, and use corpse oil, human blood, unborn live fetuses, and virgin corpses to raise them. This...virgin...female... corpse must not be dead for more than twelve hours, otherwise Corpse worms lose their appetite. If they are forced to feed, the corpse worms will mutate into another kind of terrible poisonous insects, so the feeding is very careful. Every day, a special instrument is used to play the spell of the corpse worm's sense, and training The onset time of the toxins in their bodies..." Xiaolan couldn't help but panicked when she said this, especially when she talked about the feeding methods of those corpse insects, she seemed particularly nervous and had the urge to vomit.

"Oh my god, this... this is terrible..." Yang Tian was taken aback immediately after hearing this terrible feeding method, and his body couldn't help but feel chills.

"Yes, so this kind of corpse insect Gu is the most vicious. Once a person is adhered to the body by this kind of insect, this person is hopeless... Even if the Daluo Immortal descends to earth, it may be difficult to cure..." When Xiao Lan talked about the power of this corpse insect, she showed extreme fear, holding Yang Tian's hands, and couldn't help trembling, as if he had seen this corpse insect before.

"Is there no medical treatment now?" Yang Tian asked suspiciously.

"There is no way..." Xiaolan shook her head and explained: "Although Gu appears to be a tangible thing on the surface, since ancient times, Gu has been considered to be able to fly, change, glow, and come and go without a trace like ghosts. It is a mysterious thing. Gu makers can use spells to remotely control Gu insects to bring various diseases to the target of the spell and even kill them. The ancients believed in the spell of poisonous Gu causing disease. Although people today say that it is based on science , but now how many things cannot be explained by science? In the eighth year of Qingli (1048), Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty published the book "Qingli Shanzhi Fang" which introduced the methods of curing Gu, and even "On All Diseases and Marquises" , "Thousand Gold Prescriptions", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and other medical books all have detailed analysis and treatment prescriptions for the symptoms of Gu, but they can't get rid of the Gu insects that stick to the human body..."

Yang Tian was a little silly when he heard this. He didn't understand it, but he was really shocked when he understood it. Xiaolan looked at Yang Tian's surprised look, and then said: "Brother Tian, ​​ancient medicine is underdeveloped. If someone is infected with Gu The poison is usually treated in two ways: one is to take herbal medicine, and the other is to find the person who caused the voodoo. According to the Book of Later Han Dynasty: In the midsummer month, use a beige rope to connect the meat vegetables and mimou together to extinguish the voodoo poison. Hang a peach tree on the gate to drive away evil spirits. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" quotes an ancient prescription for curing strange poisons. On May [-]th every year, many poisonous insects are collected to make Gu. This kind of Gu is mainly used to cure malignant sores. It is harmful to people. At noon on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, folks also have the act of "gathering five poisons", drinking realgar wine, and rubbing realgar wine on the neck. The purpose is to prevent sores. Now people are poisoned by Gu insects. X-ray scan to find the exact location of the Gu worm, and then take it out with surgery, but this kind of worm cannot be found with these instruments... and even if you find it, the Gu worm will have moved by the time you operate In other places, any kind of Gu insects, the medicine has no effect on them, so...the person who is infected by the Gu will definitely die..."

"Gu worms are generally grown in remote areas, and they must be undisturbed. The environment for growth must be humid and foggy, and the place called Monkey Rock is the most suitable place for raising Gu worms. Back then, I also wanted to win A kind of silkworm Gu, this kind of Gu was originally a kind of Gu that appeared on the border of Yunnan. Later, for unknown reasons, it gradually spread to some provinces in China, and Fuhai Province is one of them. The skin of this Gu is golden silkworm , it must be fed fresh blood every day, as well as various poisons, such as centipedes, scorpions, corpse insects, poisonous snakes, etc., as long as the feces released by these Gu insects are placed on any active body, it will The feces of the Gu worm will immediately turn into new worms, stick to the living body, and use the living body as its food, devouring every part of the body until it dies. People who raise this kind of worm must be very careful, this Poisonous insects are the same as people, as long as they are not happy, they will go mad at the breeder and cause disasters, so they cannot offend this kind of Gu insect. If you have no intention of continuing to support it, you should prepare a small box, put the silkworm Gu in it, and then find it. A place with the most corpses, bury it, and let it leave freely, so as to avoid disasters..."

"Since these poisons are so difficult to handle, why do so many people want to raise them? Also, if you don't want to raise them, you can just kill them. Why are you so afraid of a bug?" Yang Tian asked.

"Brother Tian, ​​you don't understand the harm these Gu worms do to the human body. They are like the corpse worms that grow on the corpse after death. After invading the human stomach, they will eat the whole body of the person. Its resistance is very strong. You can't die by drowning, you can't be burned by fire, you can't be cut by a knife...the reason why so many people feed them is because of people's hatred...hatred can blind anyone's conscience and make them inhuman...for their own hearts What's the point of raising Gu worms? As long as the hatred in my heart can be vented, everything becomes meaningless..." Xiao Lan said with a cold smile.
