Fortunate Young Gentleman

What flew out of the darkness and smashed into the fire, causing sparks to fly, was a huge boulder. Kuangsha Literature Network

Most of the bonfire was destroyed, and the stone rolled out of the fire and landed at Tang Ning's feet.

With the remaining firelight, Tang Ning finally saw the person clearly.

These dozens of people are all men. They are dressed very similar to the members of the Wusha tribe, and they are obviously members of the Gu tribe.

However, these people are not as hospitable as A Duo and others. They come out of the darkness in a menacing manner, and they come with bad intentions.

When many members of the Wusha Tribe saw them, their expressions immediately became nervous, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

When a young man from the Wusha tribe saw the face of the leader opposite, his expression changed and he asked: "Wu Qing, what are you doing in my Wusha tribe!"

The man looked at him, sneered, and said, "Wu Ping, you are even more arrogant than your father was. When did Wu Shabu belong to you?"

Wu Ping looked at him and said in a deep voice: "If it's not our Wusha tribe, could it be your Wusha tribe!"

Wu Qing looked at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Sooner or later it will be."

Wu Ping looked at him and said angrily: "What on earth do you want to do!"

"You don't deserve to ask me this question." Wu Qing glanced at him lightly and said, "Let your elders come out."

Wu Ping had a sullen look on his face and took two steps forward, but was stopped by someone behind him. The person looked at him and said, "Please ask the elders to come out. This matter is not something we can get involved in."

Wu Ping glanced at them unwillingly and whispered: "Go back!"

Tang Ning stood aside, looking confused. However, although he didn't know the guilt, it was obvious that Wu Shabu seemed to have deep grudges with these people.

The Lusheng Festival was interrupted and even the bonfire was extinguished, so Tangning didn't have to worry about dancing with A'duo.

The uninvited guests gathered in an open space in front of the village, and everyone in the Wusha tribe dispersed. Tangning and A'duo returned to the stilted building, looked at her, and asked curiously, "Who are they?"

A'duo sighed softly, lowered his head, and said: "Wu Qing and the others were originally supposed to be members of the Wusha tribe, but something happened to the Wusha tribe decades ago, and their ancestors separated from the Wusha tribe. He has been working against us for decades..."

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that this was a civil strife in the Wusha tribe. From A'duo's mouth, Tangning gradually learned more details.

The Wu Sha Tribe has always been a branch of the three elders of the Wan Gu Sect. Since the Wu Sha Tribe was split into two, A Duo and his group have continued to stay here, while Wu Qing's father's branch has After being kicked out, they broke away from the Third Elder and joined the Fourth Elder. In the past few decades, they had constant friction with this lineage and often caused trouble for them.

Although the two branches of the Wusha tribe have broken apart, they are still from the same sect and origin. Even though the two branches have been in constant conflict, they have never risen to the level of life and death enemies.

This time Wu Qing and others came over aggressively, and they didn't know why.

"For the stockade." A'duo looked out the window and explained: "They have always wanted to return to the stockade. They challenge us every year. Only those who win can own the stockade, but they have never won."

Tangning looked at her and asked strangely, "They want to challenge you, will you accept it?"

A'duo said: "This is a rule set by our ancestors, and no one can change it."

The rules of the Gu clan are very strange. Although you can't steal something openly, you can get it through challenges. This seems to be a bit of bandit logic, but they have become accustomed to it.

Tang Ning couldn't criticize other people's ethnic habits. According to what A Duo said, Wu Qing and the others had almost exhausted all the clan's strength this time and were bound to capture the village.

Outside the village, everyone had rekindled the bonfire, illuminating a certain square like daylight.

When Tangning and A'duo walked out, the elders of the Wu Sha Tribe also appeared.

In the Gu Clan, the elder is actually the oldest person in the tribe, which is different from the Wan Gu Sect.

The ten elders of Wan Gu Sect are all appointed by the previous elder to succeed them, and people are selfish, which leads to the fact that most of their elder positions are hereditary.

An old man with white hair and beard walked forward, looked at Wu Qing, and asked, "Are you coming here to compete with us again?"

Wu Qing snorted coldly and said, "Why, don't you dare?"

The elder said: "Since it is the rule set by the great elder, we must abide by it. How do you want to compare this time? Are you following the old rules?"

Tangning looked at A'duo and asked in a low voice, "What are the old rules?"

A'duo explained in a low voice: "They and we each select one of the most powerful people in the tribe to compete in Gu skills. The one who wins will win the village."

The voodoo competition is much more powerful than the arm-wrestling at the Lusheng Festival.

Tang Ning had long heard that almost everyone in the Gu clan knew a little bit of voodoo skills, but she had never seen them use voodoo skills to fight. It should be different from fighting crickets and cocks.

A'duo looked at Tang Ning and said, "Brother Tang, please stay away for a while. Wu Qing's Gu skills are very powerful. I'm worried that I won't be able to protect you for a while."

Tangning took a symbolic step back, of course just to cater to A'duo.

The most profound Gu techniques are in the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, and they cannot pass them on to these fringe tribes. With Tang Ning's current Gu techniques, not to mention the best in Guizhou, but as long as she doesn't meet the ten elders, she can run rampant. .

The elder looked at Wu Qing and asked, "You just came to challenge last winter. Now it's only been three months. Don't your elders think it's too hasty?"

Wu Qing sneered, "Once a year, you don't care what month we come, just say whether you will accept it or not."

"Of course I will accept it." The old man looked back and said, "Wu Ping."

A young man immediately came out and bowed, "Second Elder."

The second elder glanced at him and said, "You were the one who fought in the last competition. This time, the village is also in your hands."

Wu Ping clapped his hands and said, "I will definitely win."

"Wait." Wu Qing glanced at them and said, "We don't want the village this time."

Wu Ping frowned and said, "Then what do you want?"

Wu Qing said, "If I win, you have to give me the Gu."

"Bold!"

"Insolent!"

When Wu Qing said this, the expressions of the second elder and Wu Ping changed drastically at the same time, and they immediately scolded him.

This time, Tang Ning did not ask what Aduo Gu was, because this kind of Gu insect was recorded in the Ten Thousand Gu Poison Classic.

In many folk novels, Gu was said to be a magical method for Gu women to protect themselves. As long as this kind of Gu was planted on the body of their loved ones, they would never change their hearts and would live with them until old age...

But reality is often much more cruel than ideal.

Although Gu exists, it is not as legendary as described in novels. No kind of Gu insect can control people's hearts. Men and women like it if they like it, and they can't force it if they don't like it.

Gu is a strange insect produced in Guizhou. They are hermaphroditic, with the head as male and the tail as female. After cutting off the head and tail, the male and female can survive.

The lifespan of this kind of insect is extremely long, and it can easily reach decades. Some people take advantage of this characteristic of them, cut off their head and tail, and sacrifice them separately to make a pair of Gu.

Plant the pair of Gu on the man and woman respectively. If they stay together all day, the male and female Gu will not separate. If the two people are separated and separated by two places, the male and female Gu will also be separated. In this way, they will be restless once a month, and their hosts will also suffer the pain of Gu worms gnawing their hearts around the fifteenth day of each month.

If the host does not die, the Gu worm will not come out. Therefore, the man and woman who planted Gu on each other must accompany each other until one of them dies and the Gu worm breaks out of the body, and then the other Gu worm will drill out of the other's body.

Most of them sound like fairy tales of eternal love, but in fact they are just forced realities.

If the host does not die, the Gu will not come out. What Wu Qing wants is the Gu, which means that one person from the Wusha tribe must die.

Wu Ping was furious and reached out to grab his shoulder. In the firelight, a silver light came out from Wu Qing's head and went straight to Wu Ping's wrist.

"Ah!"

Wu Ping let out a painful roar and fell to the ground, curled up, looking extremely painful.

The second elder's face changed drastically, and he blurted out: "Silver-threaded snake Gu, you actually made a silver-threaded snake Gu!"

People are divided into different classes, and Gu is also divided into different levels. Silver-threaded snakes are very advanced Gu insects. Whether it is poisoned or poisoned, it must be exposed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be danger to life. Tang Ning stepped forward, pinched Wu Ping's mouth, and sent a detoxification pill into it.

A Duo's face changed drastically, and she said anxiously: "Be careful!"

Swish!

A silver line burst out from Wu Ping and flew towards Tang Ning's face.

A Duo looked at the silver line, and a look of despair appeared on her face. Wu Qing snorted coldly and whispered: "Don't know whether to live or die."

Tang Ning raised his head and pinched the silver line, turned back to look at A Duo, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"This..." Seeing the silver-threaded snake Gu twisting in Tang Ning's hand, the second elder couldn't help but take a breath.

The despair on A Duo's face disappeared, and she looked at Tang Ning with extreme joy.

On the other side, Wu Qing looked at this scene, his expression gradually becoming dull...
