Eight hundred and fortieth chapters past grievances
What flew out of the darkness and smashed into the fire, causing sparks to fly, was a huge boulder.
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 people of the Wusha tribe, and they are obviously members of the Gu tribe.
However, these people were not as hospitable as A Duo and others. They came out of the darkness in a menacing manner, and they came 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 a person behind him. The person looked at him and said, "Please ask the elders to come out. This matter is not something we can interfere with."
Wu Ping glanced at them unwillingly and whispered: "Go back!"
Tang Ning stood aside, looking confused. However, although he did not know the inside story, 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 left and 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 Wu Sha tribe. From A Duo's mouth, Tang Ning gradually learned more inside information.
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 family 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-or-death enemies.
This time Wu Qing and others came over aggressively, and I don'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 tribe are very strange. Although you can't grab 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 Wusha 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 the Wan Gu Sect are all appointed by the previous elder to succeed them, and people are selfish, which leads to the fact that their elder positions are mostly 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."
A test of voodoo skills is much more powerful than an arm wrestling match at the Lusheng Festival.
Tang Ning had long heard that almost everyone in the Gu tribe knew a little bit of voodoo, but she had never seen them use voodoo to fight. It seemed that it was 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. 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: "Last Dongyue, you just came here to challenge, and now only three months have passed. Don't your elders think it's too hasty?"
Wu Qing sneered and said: "Once a year, you don't care how many months we come, you just decide whether you can take us or not."
"Of course I have to pick it up." The old man looked behind him and said, "Wu Ping."
A young man immediately came out, bowed and said: "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 patted his chest and said, "I will definitely win."
"Wait a minute." 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 love Gu."
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
As soon as Wu Qing said this, the expressions of the second elder and Wu Ping changed drastically at the same time, and they immediately shouted out.
Tang Ning did not ask A'duo what the Love Gu was this time, because this kind of Gu was recorded in the Book of Ten Thousand Poisons.
In many folk books, the love poison is said to be magical. It is said that this is a way for women of the Gu tribe to protect their love. As long as this kind of poison is planted in the body of the sweetheart, he will never change his heart and can be on the same page with them.
, grow old together...
The reality is often much crueler than the ideal.
Although the Love Gu exists, it is not as legendary as described in the book. No kind of Gu can control people's hearts. The love between men and women, if they like it, they like it, and if they don't like it, they can't do it.
Love Gu is a strange insect native to Guizhou Province. They are hermaphroditic, with a male head and a female tail. Even if the head and tail are cut off, the hermaphrodites can still survive.
The lifespan of this kind of insect is extremely long, and can easily reach decades. Some people take advantage of this characteristic of them, cut off their heads and tails, and sacrifice them separately to create a pair of love gu.
Plant the pair of love gu in a man and a woman respectively. If they have been together for a long time, the male and female gu will not be separated. If the love between the two is broken and the two places are separated, the male and female gu will also be separated. In this way, they will be separated every time.
They will be restless once every month, and their hosts will also suffer from the heart-gnawing pain of Gu insects around the fifteenth day of every month.
For a person with a love poison in his body, the host will not die and the poison will not come out. Therefore, a man and a woman who have planted a love poison in each other must accompany each other until one party dies and the poison breaks out, and then the other poison will emerge from the other's body.
Most of them sound like fairy tales about eternal unity, but in fact they are just realities of mutual reluctance.
As long as the host does not die, the Love Gu cannot come out. What Wu Qing wants is the Love Gu, which means that a person from the Wu Sha tribe must die.
Wu Ping was furious and reached out to grab his shoulder. In the firelight, a silver ray of light shot out from Wu Qing's body and went straight to Wu Ping's wrist.
"ah!"
Wu Ping let out a painful roar and fell to the ground, his body curled up and looking extremely painful.
The second elder's expression changed greatly, and he blurted out: "Silver-threaded snake voodoo, you actually made the silver-threaded snake voodoo!"
People are divided into three religions and nine schools, and poisons are also divided into three, six or nine levels. The silver-threaded snake is a very high-level poison. Whether it is poisoning or poisoning, it must be discovered as soon as possible, otherwise it will be life-threatening. Tang Ning stepped forward and said,
He pinched Wu Ping's mouth open and inserted an antidote pill.
A'duo's face changed drastically and he said anxiously: "Be careful!"
call out!
A silver thread shot out from Wu Ping's body and flew towards Tangning's face.
Aduo looked at the silver thread, a look of despair appeared on his face, Wu Qing snorted coldly, and whispered: "I don't know whether to live or die."
Tangning raised her head and pinched the silver thread, then looked back at A'duo and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"This..." Seeing the silver thread snake Gu twisting in Tang Ning's hands, the second elder couldn't help but take a breath.
The look of despair on A'duo's face disappeared, and he looked at Tang Ning with great joy.
On the other side, Wu Qing looked at this scene, his expression gradually became dull...
