The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 192 Stone Gu

Shi Wei said that in order to find the ghost mother-in-law, one must meet a terrible old witch.

Shi Wei didn't tell Xia Xiangxi much at first, but when she was near the place where the old witch lived, Shi Wei told Xia Xiangxi that the old witch was actually Granny Ghost's apprentice, so she lived not far from Granny Ghost's grave. Like a grave keeper.

Witches and grass ghosts are actually two different concepts. Grass ghosts who know voodoo may not necessarily know witchcraft. There are many grass ghosts who know how to raise voodoo in Xiangxi.As long as any woman has the purpose of raising Gu, she can think of ways to raise Gu.Some are for love; some are for money; some are for harming others;

Before Xia Xiangxi came to Xiangxi, he had heard from his grandfather that all the extremely beautiful women in Xiangxi had Gu on them.The more beautiful women are, the more afraid they are of aging. Gu skills can help them maintain their youth and beauty. Some grass hags are as beautiful as young women in their 50s when they are 20 or [-] years old.

As for witches, it is necessary to have the true way, so it is easy to do grass witches, but it is difficult to become witches.

Shi Wei said that although the old witch knew Gu skills, she didn't have the Gu skills to keep her face. Her face was like a maple, with reptile-like birthmarks.On Ma Po's face was a centipede, and on the old hag's face were birthmarks of snakes and toads.

It is generally said that snakes and toads are natural enemies, and being able to raise both snake Gu and toad Gu on the same person at the same time is not something that ordinary grass ghosts can do.

Shi Wei also said that the old witch is not so powerful, she raises little ghosts in addition to raising Gu, and you can't speak ill of her casually when you are in her territory, because the grave mounds on the hills and the grass ghosts hidden under the grass roots are all The old witch's ears.

Xia Xiangxi didn't know that there was such a powerful witch, so she was really surprised.

Shi Wei said: "In the past, my father and I just heard about how powerful she is, but we knew after fighting. Also, when we saw that old witch, we could only call her Fifth Lady, not God Mother or anything like that." of."

Xia Xiangxi glanced at Shi Wei and said, "She thinks of herself as a white lady!"

Shi Wei just laughed, "Who knows!" After finishing speaking, she pointed to a stone tablet not far ahead and said, "After passing that stone tablet, you will reach the boundary of Sarcophagus Village, so you must be careful when you speak."

Xia Xiangxi looked over there and saw no villages except for the steep mountains. While asking Shi Wei, she wondered about the name of the coffin village.China is full of wonders, like people's surnames, there are many ridiculous and uncommon ones, but the origin of surnames is mostly due to some allusions, for example, the surname "Gou" has several origins. The Xun family, a senior official of the public clan, changed his surname to the Gou family because of his refuge.There is also a saying that the surname "Gou" comes from the surname Jing, which was simplified and changed in the later Jin Dynasty to avoid the emperor's taboo.In the later Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid the taboo of Shi Jingtang, the great ancestor of the later Jin Dynasty, the Jing surname was split into two and became the Gou surname and the Wen surname.

I don't know the origin of this coffin village. The ancients were most taboo about what is auspicious or unlucky. It's called such a village name, so I don't know what the reason is.
Shi Wei said that this is not the case, but the locals don't think so.Just like funeral customs, when moving graves and coffins, words such as "death, corpse, yin, dark, escape, grave, tomb" are the most taboo. Those unlucky words can save you bad luck, but there is no need to avoid the word 'coffin'. Coffin is a homonym for official wealth, which is equivalent to getting promoted and getting rich.

In addition, I heard that the people in this village used to guard the mausoleum here, and I don't know which generation of mausoleum guards stayed behind.The outsider didn't know about it, and the locals refused to tell the outside world, it was a secret they wanted to guard.

Shi Wei said that she only heard about this place, that is, that time she and her father broke into this place by mistake, and did not really enter that village.After escaping from the old witch, he rescued a tomb robber on the way, and the tomb robber told the general situation here, saying that the village has many organs, if outsiders enter, they will never return, it is very dangerous.

Xia Xiangxi took a breath and said, "Do we have to pass through that village?"

Shi Wei said it was unnecessary, we just walked outside their village, the tomb of the ghost mother-in-law was in Guifei Ridge in front.As he spoke, he pointed to a distant mountain in the south. "As long as we don't get discovered by that old witch. Outsiders are never allowed here. As long as there are people who come, most of them are grave robbers rushing to the mausoleum, so people here are quite disgusted with outsiders. Don't care what kind of society it is now, The people here are not subject to those controls, and they live in the mountains, so the police can’t do anything they want. If someone dies or hurts someone here, the dead will die, and the injured will be injured. There is no need for corpses. Buried and thrown in the valley, they were eaten by wild dogs and crows in a few days. In such a large forest, the living people are like little ants. If you get lost, you will be able to stand up if you have the vitality For Eryue, I haven’t seen a living person passing by to save you.”

Xia Xiangxi believed what Shi Wei said. In such a vast mountain, people are as insignificant as cow hair.

Xia Xiangxi remembered that Shi Wei said that the tomb of the ghost mother-in-law was buried in the tomb of the imperial concubine, so she asked Shi Wei, did those tomb guards guard the tomb of the imperial concubine?

Shi Wei said: "The name of Guifeiling is quite big, but it is not the same as this coffin village. I heard that a concubine of a certain dynasty escaped from the palace because of the war, and when she fled there , met pursuers, and that noble concubine committed suicide by jumping off the cliff, and she got such a name later on.”

It was still afternoon, Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei found a shady place under a big tree and sat on a rock to rest.

Xia Xiangxi said: "Since the people in the village cannot be provoked, we will not go forward and wait until midnight. People are sleeping soundly from two to three o'clock. It's time for the dogs to nap, too, and we'll go over there."

Shi Wei agreed with both hands.

After the two of them ate something, Xia Xiangxi ran to a hillside, overlooking the coffin village that Shi Wei mentioned.It’s sunset now. I couldn’t see the village before, but now it’s different. You can see the smoke coming out of the dense forest on the hillside not far away. That’s undoubtedly Coffin Village.

From the place where the cooking smoke rises, you can see a winding valley, which should be the valley that Shi Wei said they were going to pass through.Xia Xiangxi paid attention to the terrain, and had a good idea when he walked there at night.

Seeing Xia Xiangxi standing on the hillside and not going down, Shi Wei also climbed up and asked her what she saw clearly?Suddenly he lost his footing, and immediately fell to the ground.Xia Xiangxi hurried over to help her up.

Shi Wei must have been hurt by the fall, and childishly scolded the stump that tripped her, while rolling up her trouser legs, wanting to see if she was injured.Shi Wei rolled up her trouser legs, and what she saw made Xia Xiangxi and her completely change color.I saw lumps of stone-like sarcoma growing on Shi Wei's calf.

This is definitely not what Shi Wei was born with. Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei lived in the same room, and she has never seen such a sarcoma on her leg.

Shi Wei yelled out loudly, "Mother!" "Mother!"Before she found out, she was still walking like the wind, but now she saw an unknown strange tumor growing on her leg, she must have been frightened, and she couldn't stand anymore, crying out that her leg hurts.

"It's stone Gu!" Shi Wei said in a trembling voice, it is estimated that when they were walking all the way, when someone sprinkled stone Gu on the road, the stone Gu flew onto Shi Wei's leg.After Shi Wei finished speaking, she asked Xia Xiangxi to check herself quickly, but she didn't find anything.Then roll up Shi Wei's other left leg, there are three or two on it, much less than the one on the right leg.

The stone Gu in Miao Gu can be practiced by using any stones you want, as long as you add Gu medicine on the stones you picked up.People who cast Stone Gu sprinkle Stone Gu on the road where people come and go. As long as someone passes by, the Stone Gu can fly to the hands and legs of the person, and can penetrate into the flesh. At the beginning, it can maintain its original shape, sticking Attached to human legs, it can penetrate into the flesh after a long time, and can move up and down in the human body.Fortunately, this is not the most vicious Gu. If the person who has been infected by the stone Gu does not know it, it will take two or three years before he is killed by the stone Gu.

Shi Wei knew that she had been poisoned, so she began to curse.In addition, he also complained that she was the only one who was unlucky, all the stone Gu got into her body, and Xia Xiangxi didn't suffer from it at all.

Xia Xiangxi comforted Shi Wei to be safe and not to be impatient, she knew in her heart that someone must not want them to come here, so she played such a Gu to harm them.

Shi Wei also got hit by the Gu that Huanhuan gave her before, and she knew how to solve the Gu by herself, and asked Xia Xiangxi to help her solve it. Now Xia Xiangxi thought that Shi Wei could still solve the Gu, but Shi Wei Wei said this time that she really doesn't understand this kind of Gu.There are more than a hundred or thousands of Gu species of the Miao people. There are so many types. Even a real grass hag can’t solve all the Gu. What’s more, Shi Wei is also a three-legged cat when it comes to dispelling Gu. It happened to be right last time. She will solve it.

When Xia Xiangxi heard Shi Wei said that she didn't know how to understand it, she became a little anxious. She was already far away from Xiaomiao Village, and it was not practical to ask Ma Po for help.After calming down for a while, she had an idea.

Although there is a saying in the Gu art that you need to use the Gu to solve the Gu, but a really powerful Gu woman can still find a way to be used by others.

The five elements restrain each other, this is the law that nothing in this world can change.

Ma Po said that if one kind of Gu cannot be solved, then use a more powerful Gu to restrain it.If you have been hit by the toad Gu, then you must be able to restrain it with the snake Gu.After suppressing the toad Gu, then undo the snake Gu.For example, if you are hit by Centipede Gu, you can also use Chicken Gu to overcome it.The important thing is that the person who cast the second Gu, if he is one of his own people, or if he has restrained the first Gu, the person who cast the latter will not be able to solve it, and if he changes the soup but not the medicine, the unlucky one will still be the one who fell into the Gu. .

Xia Xiangxi doesn't know how to raise Gu, even if he knows how to raise Gu now, it's impossible.It's time for ghosts to help!
