After hearing this, Song Jiang asked, "Is there any cure after being poisoned?"

Gu Haodao, "There must be a solution, and there are two types: Wenjie and Wujie. Wenjie is naturally the person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell, that is, whoever casts the Gu will be able to undo it; while Wujie is to meet a powerful opponent who will poison the Gu. Forcibly remove it, so that the Gu caster will suffer backlash, and the end will also be miserable."

After hearing this, Song Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "So, should we help Zhao Shiyan this time with a literary or a military solution?"

After hearing this, Gu Hao snorted and said, "It depends on what the other party means. If the misunderstanding can be resolved, it would be best for both parties to shake hands and make peace. Otherwise... Wu Jie is not impossible, considering that the other party should She is an old man, and she may lose her life once she loses strength. For her, the gain is not worth the loss."

"How can you be sure that the other party must be an old man?" Song Jiang asked puzzled.

Gu Hao thought for a while and said, "Think about it...who among the young people would like to live in such an isolated mountain? If it is like what Zhao Shiyan said, developers give money and buildings, how can young people Moving to the city unhappily? But the old people with deep thoughts are different. They have lived here all their lives. For them, no matter how good the life is, it is not as happy as living the rest of their lives in peace, so they really don’t want to The only person who left and hated Zhao Shiyan was an old man in the village who didn’t want to leave his ancestral home.”

Song Jiang nodded and said, "It's true...but is Zhao Shiyan's situation really a poison?"

Gu Hao said, "There are generally two symptoms for people who are poisoned. One is that they have a yellow face and thin muscles but a belly as big as a basket. They have low body temperature and a slow pulse, and there is blood in the stool. Over time, the person will naturally die from treatment. The second situation is sudden redness, swelling and pain in the eyes, and finally blindness in both eyes. If someone has one of these two situations, and no organic disease is detected using hospital instruments, it is basically a poison. Compared to the second situation, the first one is more vicious, just rushing to kill the other person, and Zhao Shiyan is obviously in the first situation."

After hearing this, Song Jiang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and said, "Then this poison is too scary. It is colorless, tasteless and invisible. It is impossible to detect it in food and water. If you do it deliberately, it will be really hard to guard against... Could it be? Are you saying there is no way to prevent and cure it?”

Gu Hao smiled and said, "It's not impossible... Actually, there is a very simple trick to prevent others from poisoning you. People in the old days were easy to be poisoned precisely because they ignored this point."

"What trick? Tell me quickly..." Song Jiang said with a look of thirsty for knowledge.

"It's very simple, that is, don't eat cold food. All Gu poison is alive, similar to bacteria or insect eggs... so it must be placed in cold food to work. Once the high-temperature disinfection is performed, the Gu poison will naturally be killed. Dead." Gu Hao said in a deep voice.

Song Jiang couldn't believe it, "Is it that simple?"

Gu Hao nodded and said, "It's that simple..."

In this way, the few people tossed and tossed for almost three hours before finally climbing to the top of the mountain. Except for Meng Zhe, the few people were all exhausted and out of breath. They could not relax after sitting on the edge of the cliff for a long time. It is on a piece of flat land not far away...

The first thing that catches Song Jiang's eyes is a colorful hidden world. Although the houses there are all wooden stilted buildings, the outside of the houses is covered with emerald green creepers, wrapping each house in a piece of emerald green. It looks so beautiful, as if you have come to a fairy tale kingdom.

But Liu Dong on the side shook his head and said, "These creepers have gone crazy. We brothers didn't have so many when we came last time?!"

After hearing this, Song Jiang asked curiously, "Aren't these green vines planted by the villagers themselves?"

After hearing this, Ma Cheng said, "The climate here is humid. These plants have always been taken care of by the villagers in the past, and there will be no such thing as crazy growth... Now that the people in the village have moved away, naturally they can grow as they want. gone."

Unexpectedly, this village looks beautiful from a distance, but it is devastated when you approach it. Those crazy creepers have squeezed through the windows and entered the house, destroying the overall structure of the small building, giving people a sense of desolation after the end of the world... …

Song Jiang looked at the dilapidated stilted buildings and said, "There is no one living here, can we really find out the person who played the voodoo this time?"

"Even if you can't find the person who cast the Gu, you can still find out which family made the Gu, because the houses of the people who raise the Gu are very clean, and snakes, insects, mice, ants and the like are never seen. There will be... The former is because Gu worms like a clean and hygienic living environment, and the latter reason is because all snakes, rats, rats and ants are afraid of Gu worms. Animals appeared." Gu Hao said in a deep voice.

Song Jiang then asked casually, "What do you call a person who can cast poison?"

Gu Hao said, "Grass witch..."

"Then what is their purpose of raising Gu? It can't be just to harm people, right?" Song Jiang asked in confusion.

After hearing this, Gu Hao shook his head and said, "Of course not, everything has two sides, and raising voodoo actually has other benefits besides harming people. For example, voodoo can harm people and save people. At the same time, you can also use the aura of voodoo. Change the fortune of the family... If someone in the family is doing business, they can make a lot of money by borrowing Gu's spiritual energy; in ancient times, if someone in the family wants to be an official, they can borrow Gu's spiritual energy to rise to the top, even for things like giving birth to children. I can also help... Anyway, it’s almost like raising a kid in Thailand.”

Meng Zhe snorted coldly after hearing this, "It's just some low-level sorcery, and it can't be used on the stage. This is why the more remote the place, the more prevalent the witchcraft."

Naturally, Gu Hao didn't dare to refute what Meng Zhe said, so he nodded and agreed, "It's true... In the eyes of Taoist righteousness, raising Gu has always been despised by others, but it is precisely because of this that the art of witchcraft It has never been suppressed by the righteous way and people of insight, which makes the Witch Gu faction quietly prevail in some remote areas."

Zhao Shiyan brought Ma Cheng and Liu Dong with him at the beginning, so they remembered very clearly the route they took to visit each house after entering the village, so the two took Song Jiang and the others to look for the first house one by one. The houses were too dilapidated to be inhabitable, and they had long become a paradise for bugs and small animals. This alone was inconsistent with Gu Hao's statement that there were no snakes, insects, rats, or ants in the house... until a few people came to a house. When they walked in front of the house named Hei, Meng Zhe and Gu Hao, who were walking in front, could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with this house.
