Isn’t it strange that villagers in Miao Village drown every year?
In Xiao Chen's opinion, it was a very strange thing, but in the eyes of many ordinary people, being drowned was normal. However, this time Xiao Chen came here not because someone drowned, but because someone drowned.
It was this villager in Dongjiang Miao Village who was poisoned.
"Beautiful sister, have any villagers in Miao Village been poisoned?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes, there are several."
"So what are they like now?"
"Still alive."
Still alive?
Xiao Chen knew that as long as he was still alive, he would have a chance to save her.
Going up to the stilted building first, Xiao Chen saw an old man wearing a green Miao suit. The old man's eyes were sharp and seemed to be full of wisdom.
Just now, he had heard that this young man had just come over and rescued three children who were missing in the river.
"Are you Mr. Xiao?"
Seeing that Xiao Chen was wet all over, the head of the Stone clan asked Xiao Chen to take a bath and change into a set of dry clothes.
After Xiao Chen put on the blue Miao clothes of the Stone Clan Chief's family in the past, Xiao Chen found that it was the first time for him to wear this Miao clothes, but it was very smooth and supple when worn.
This should be made of silk.
Silk is very expensive.
In ancient times, only the rich could afford to wear them. Even now, many people wear clothes not made of silk, but clothes made of industrial products.
Therefore, being able to afford clothes made of silk in Miao villages does not mean that those Miao people are very rich.
But because most of them are self-sufficient.
In this Dongjiang Miao village, many people do raise silkworms. However, they do not raise silkworms indoors, but outdoors. They grow up eating leaves outdoors, then spin silk outdoors, and then they are raised by the Miao people.
Take it back to get the silk, then dye it into blue cloth, and finally turn it into clothes like this.
However, Xiao Chen found that it was indeed good.
"Mr. Xiao, how do you feel?" Patriarch Shi asked.
"It's very comfortable. This is my first time wearing this kind of clothes."
Chief Shi manages the Dongjiang Miao Village, and his status is much higher than that of the village cadres in the Miao Village. Therefore, every year, he has specific benefits, such as these cloths, which are given to him by the villagers.
"Chief Shi, I want to know what kind of poison those villagers were poisoned by?"
"We don't know either."
"Then go see those patients first."
Xiao Chen knew that he had to go see the patient first.
Xiao Chen and the others, led by Chief Shi, arrived at one of the Miao villages. Inside, there was a middle-aged man who had been poisoned by a witchcraft.
This middle-aged man's name is Shi Gong. When he went to the back mountain to cut firewood a few days ago, when he came back, his family found that something was wrong with him.
Now when Xiao Chen comes over, there is only this person
The middle-aged man's wife is at home, a very strong middle-aged Miao woman.
The middle-aged woman first greeted Chief Shi, and soon learned that someone from the Jiuli Sect had come to treat her husband's witchcraft, and he became much more enthusiastic.
After taking Xiao Chen inside, Xiao Chen smelled a very unpleasant mixed smell, and there was also a smell of urine in it.
Xiao Chen hurriedly opened the window and after ventilating, he saw a naked middle-aged man lying there on the bed, covered with a quilt.
This middle-aged man is lying there now, his face is sallow, and he doesn't look very expressionless.
"How is your husband feeling?"
"He keeps complaining that his stomach hurts. I don't know why he has a stomachache?"
Keep complaining that your stomach hurts?
Ordinary people think this must be eating the wrong thing.
"Had medicine?"
"I have taken painkillers, which are Western medicines, but they have no effect," the middle-aged woman said.
Xiao Chen sat down next to him. He first checked the middle-aged man, including his pulse, and finally looked at the situation inside the man's stomach with a clairvoyant eye.
Soon, Xiao Chen was able to determine what kind of witchcraft had hit the other party.
"Mr. Xiao, what happened to my husband?"
"It was indeed poisoned by someone. If I guessed correctly, it should have been the golden silkworm poison."
Golden silkworm Gu?
Patriarch Shi, Sister Sang, and the middle-aged woman were all frightened.
In the Miao area, many people say that the Golden Silkworm Gu is the most vicious, almost impossible to cure and can only wait for death.
Golden silkworm Gu comes from the Miao border area. A variety of poisonous insects are put together in an urn and sealed, and they are allowed to kill each other and eat each other. After a year, only one is left, and the shape and color are all different.
It has changed, its shape is like a silkworm, and its skin is golden.
Such as venomous snakes, centipedes, lizards, earthworms, toads and other poisonous insects.
Some people also say that twelve kinds of poisonous insects are put in a vat and buried secretly at a crossroads. After seven or forty-nine days, they are secretly taken out and placed in an incense burner. They are worshiped with tea and fragrant fragrance in the morning and evening. The golden silkworms obtained in this way are invisible.
Yes, it exists in the incense ashes. When poisoning, take the feces of golden silkworms or put them under the incense ashes in the food for passing guests to eat.
Some voodoo makers emphasize that poisonous insects must be gathered on May 5th of the lunar calendar. This is influenced by the traditional concept that poisonous gas is at its peak on May 5th.
It is recorded in ancient books that more poisonous poisons are produced during the Dragon Boat Festival. They are used to make medicine when the yang energy is at its peak, which can cause illness and death. Also: snakes, insects, and centipedes are often used to make the medicine. If it cannot be rescued, a
It can kill if touched.
The legendary method of raising gu is similar to the one or two mentioned in "Tongzhi".
Recorded in "Tongzhi".
One hundred kinds of insects are needed, but the Yi people only need twelve kinds. Before raising the poisonous insects, the main hall must be cleaned cleanly, the whole family, young and old, must take a bath, and sincerely burn incense and light candles in front of the ancestral shrine.
, praying silently to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
Then dig a big pit in the center of the main hall and bury a large vat in it. The vat should be one with a large mouth and a small belly so that it is easier to cover it. Moreover, the smaller the mouth, the less visible the situation in the vat is, and the easier it is for people to understand what is in the vat.
Things are frightened, and fear leads to awe. The mouth of the jar must be as flat as the soil.
Wait until the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, go to the field and catch any twelve kinds of reptiles and come back. If the reptiles caught on the Dragon Boat Festival cannot be grown into gu, put them in the tank and close the lid.
These reptiles are usually venomous snakes, eels, centipedes, frogs, scorpions, earthworms, big green caterpillars, praying mantises, etc. In short, we don’t want any flying creatures, and we don’t want any creatures that can run on four legs. We only want some poisonous reptiles.
After putting these twelve kinds of reptiles into the tank, the owner and his whole family should pray once every night after going to bed and once a day before getting up.
Pray continuously for a year without stopping for a day. And when raising voodoo and praying, you must not let outsiders know. If outsiders know, the voodoo you raised will be taken away by the wizard with magic methods and used by the wizard, and the owner will
The whole family will die.
Even if it is not taken away by the wizard, it will harm the owner after it becomes a poison.
Over the course of a year, the reptiles devoured each other in the tank. The more poisonous ones ate the less poisonous ones, the stronger ones devoured the weaker ones, and finally there was only one left. After eating the other eleven, this reptile changed its shape and form.
color.
There are many types of legends.
There are two main types: one is called Dragon Gu, which is similar in shape to a dragon, and is roughly the shape of a long reptile such as a poisonous snake, centipede, etc. The other is called the Qilin Gu, which is similar in shape to a unicorn, and is probably the shape of a short frog, lizard, etc.
What a reptile becomes.
After a year, when the poison has developed, the owner digs out the tank and hides it in a secret room with no air or light.
It is said that the voodoo likes to eat lard scrambled eggs, rice, etc. After three or four years of breeding, the voodoo will be about one foot long. The owner will choose an auspicious day to open the cylinder cover and let the voodoo fly out on its own.
After Gu leaves home, sometimes it can turn into a ball of fire and hover in the woods in the mountains. Sometimes it can turn into a black shadow and go between houses in the village.
The time when Gu's magic power is greatest is at dusk.
Every time Gu comes home, he still lives in the tank.
On the day it eats a human, its owner does not need to feed it anything.
It is said that the advantage of raising voodoo is not that the voodoo directly steals the treasures outside like a thief and brings them back for the owner to use, but that the voodoo's spiritual energy can be used to make everything that the voodoo owner does go smoothly.
If the owner wants to do business, he can make huge profits by borrowing the aura of Chong Gu. If the owner wants to be promoted, he can rise to the top by borrowing the aura of Gu.
On the other hand, if by accident, the person who has been poisoned by the poison finds out and asks a specialized wizard to remove the poison, the owner of the poison will do everything wrong and his whole family will die.
This golden silkworm Gu is the most powerful among these witch Gu!
