Chapter 454 Looking for a Gu Master
"Gu?" After combining Chongzi and Yunnan, Chen Ziyang came up with such an idea.

Gu art, exorcising corpses, and head-down art are called the three major witchcrafts, and they have always been covered with a layer of mystery.Although there are Gu arts in many provinces, the Gu arts are most popular in Miaojiang, Yunnan, so Chen Ziyang naturally associated the picture of the bug with the Gu arts.

"That's right, you're just as I thought. This picture is probably a kind of Gu." After saying this, Xu Xiaoyuan lowered her head again, and kept checking other places on the map to see if there was any damage. Are there any inconspicuous imprints, but nothing is found.

So she took out a piece of paper and drew according to the shapes around the dots. In addition to drawing according to the pattern, Xu Xiaoyuan also perfected some details on the edge of the bug. After a while, a lifelike beetle appeared in the on paper.

"This bug should be a reminder, but it still didn't tell us the specific location. Daoist Xiaoyuan, do you know much about Gu?" Chen Ziyang asked with a frown.

In Maoshan Taoism, there is a Taoist method that specifically cracks the head-down technique. The head-down technique is divided into many individual categories, one of which is called Gu Jiang, which is a combination of Gu technique and head-down technique.So Chen Ziyang still has some understanding of Gu Art, but it's just that.Looking at the worm on the paper, he couldn't get any other information at all.

Chen Ziyang has never been exposed to voodoo since he followed Bai Chi to learn art. The only thing that has something to do with voodoo is when Wang Lele was hit by Xiao Na's ghost descending head, so he didn't know it well. A man of sorcery.

"To be honest, I don't know much about Gu art, but I know a person who has a deep research on Gu art, or that person is a Gu master. He once told me about Gu art briefly. Come and see here."

While talking, Xu Xiaoyuan compared the dot on the map and drew a circle on the beetle on the paper.

"If my guess is correct, this dot should not only mark our destination, that is, the location where the treasure is hidden, but it should also have a purpose. This dot also fell on this Gu worm. The ones on his body are like the patterns on the bug's body.

The Gu master I know once said that there are many types of Gu, there are more than a dozen types of Gu, and if it is subdivided, there are countless types, so even a Gu master with comprehensive knowledge, There are also Gu that I don't know, and there are Gu that I haven't seen before.

In order to distinguish these Gu, there is a way to record Gu information among those who specialize in raising Gu, that is to use pictures, just like hieroglyphs.

Each type of Gu has a picture representing this kind of Gu. In addition to roughly drawing the type of bone, these pictures also contain a lot of hidden information. For Gu masters who are familiar with this kind of picture, even He saw a picture of a Gu that he had never seen before, and he was able to know the general purpose of this Gu from the details in the picture. "

After listening to Xu Xiaoyuan's words, Chen Ziyang saw hope.If it is really like what Taoist Xiaoyuan said, as long as you find this Gu master, you can know the origin of this Gu, which will be of great help to everyone looking for the location of the treasure.

"Great, will the Gu master you know look at this kind of picture recording Gu? If he can understand it, he may provide us with particularly important information. Do you want to call first and ask?" ?” Chen Ziyang asked impatiently.

Xu Xiaoyuan showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and said: "I have a good relationship with him. According to what he said, there are fewer and fewer people who know this way of recording pictures of Gu types, but he is one of them. .

However, his behavior is very weird, and he is very obsessed with Gu. Except for a very small amount of time, he spends most of the time every year in the sparsely populated virgin forest looking for some rare bugs to prepare them. Gu worms.

So this person doesn't even have a mobile phone, even if he has a mobile phone, it is useless. The places he goes to have no mobile phone signal at all, and it is very difficult to find him.It can be said that he has basically left the modern society. "

Seeing the disappointed expression on Chen Ziyang's face, Xu Xiaoyuan continued: "You don't have to be too disappointed, although I can't find him, I know where his home is.

He has a younger sister who has been staying at home. Although his younger sister can't contact him, every time this person goes out, he will tell his sister his whereabouts. Maybe we will learn his current location from his younger sister. .But I don't have his sister's phone number either, so it seems that I only went there once.

His home is in Guizhou, which is very close to YN province. We don’t count it as a detour, so we should just drop by once. If you really can’t find him, you can also go directly to Yunnan, no As for wasting too much time. "

It's better to have hope than nothing, Chen Ziyang and Xu Xiaoyuan discussed for a while, the two of them decided on the itinerary, the rest is just the preparation work.

Perhaps in order to make up for the mistakes he made before, Wang Chuan also acted very quickly this time. He used his connections and actually got a few guns for Chen Ziyang and others.

It was basically the same as when he set off to the Bohai Underground Palace. What Wang Chuan got was a few Uzi submachine guns and a few pistols. But this time they didn't use their guns to fight with others. The firepower was enough for self-defense, and the Uzi submachine gun was relatively small, so it was easy to carry and hide, which was exactly what Chen Ziyang wanted.

Jin Huang has also made great progress there. He has acquired a lot of magic weapons. In his words, although these things are not as good as the wine jars he used before, they can still be used barely. Empty hands, no confidence.

In fact, Chen Ziyang didn't care if Jin Huang had a magic weapon at hand, what he wanted most was to borrow Jin Huang's skills from the Maoshan formation master, as long as Jin Huang could accompany him, other problems would be trivial.

A few days later, the preparations of the five people were basically over. All the things that should be bought had been bought. The trunk of the car was filled with big and small bags. Several people drove towards Guizhou.

While on the road, Chen Ziyang kept learning about Gu, but the information he could find was very limited, and he could only understand it briefly.

There are two types of Gu, most of which are insect Gu, while plant Gu only accounts for a small part.

The earliest predecessor of Gu art is actually a kind of insect control art, which uses the insects themselves or the germs carried by the insects to achieve a certain purpose. Most of them are harmful to people. , or want to murder others, it is unknown.

People who have been caught by the Gu technique must take the antidote provided by the person who cast the Gu on a regular basis, otherwise, the Gu worms or poison in the body of the person who has been caught by the Gu will attack, and the pain is so painful that they are likely to be tortured to death.It is through this method that the bewitched person controls the bewitched person.

But Gu is not something that anyone can raise. In the most orthodox Gu art, only women can cultivate Gu insects. Men's physique is not suitable for this kind of thing, but after the Gu insects are cultivated, men can You can play tricks on others.

The more powerful the Gu worm or Gu poison, the greater its reaction, like a double-edged sword, if it is not used well, it will even harm the person who raised the Gu.

Some very special Gu worms need to be cultivated by the Gu keeper with their own bodies, but the time should not be too long, at most two or three years, if the Gu keeper does not send the Gu worms to others If it is on his body, he will be eaten back by the Gu insects and die.

Gu poison is actually like poison. Since there is poison, there will be an antidote. As long as people who have been poisoned by Gu can get the antidote, they can temporarily relieve or completely eliminate the Gu poison in their bodies.

And Gu worms are actually some worms that have special requirements for food. When this kind of Gu worms are put into the human body, because there is no delicious food, these Gu worms will bite people's internal organs and use them as food, thus Make the person who is bewitched suffer great pain.

The antidote of the Gu insect is actually the food that the Gu insect likes to eat the most. When this antidote is eaten into the body of the person who has been infected by the Gu insect, the Gu insect will give up biting the human body and eat them instead. My favorite food, so the person affected by the Gu will be temporarily rescued, as long as the food is not finished, the Gu insects will not bite the human body again.

But these are only the most basic Gu skills, advanced Gu skills are not so simple, and cannot be understood in a short time.

After two days' drive, five people arrived in Guizhou Province. Under Xu Xiaoyuan's guidance, they found their destination with great effort.

Xu Xiaoyuan has only been here once, her memory is rather vague, and this place is really remote, so everyone searched for a long time before they found a private Chinese medicine clinic in a remote alley.

This clinic is a few very inconspicuous small rooms connected together. The house is very dilapidated, almost a row of dilapidated buildings, or the kind of dilapidated buildings that can receive full subsidies at one time during the renovation of dilapidated buildings.

break!It's too broken!These houses are likely to collapse at any time, this is Chen Ziyang's first feeling after seeing these houses.

On the door frame of this house, there is a plaque that says "Chinese Medicine Clinic". The part that falls off is larger than the remaining area.

Several people walked into the clinic one after another.The furnishings in the house are also very simple, there are only a few tables, a few chairs, and a few rows of small medicine cabinets standing by the wall. There are many drawers on the medicine cabinets, and there are various Chinese herbal medicines written on them, but the room is tidy. But very clean.

A woman in a yellowish white coat is sitting on a chair. This woman is very young, she looks only 24 or [-] years old, wearing a pair of round-rimmed short-sighted glasses, her face is full of childishness.

"Shangguanqing, do you still know me?" After entering the room, Xu Xiaoyuan asked the woman.

"Shangguan? This surname is very rare." Chen Ziyang thought.At this moment, he was a little surprised. What surprised him was not the woman's surname in front of him, but he judged from Xu Xiaoyuan's words that this woman was the person everyone was looking for.

Before coming here, Chen Ziyang had imagined many times what a Gu master's younger sister would look like, after much deliberation, only one picture appeared in his mind.

A slovenly, hunchbacked old lady was leaning on a cane in one hand, and holding a skull in the other. There was a small green snake crawling in and out of the skull's eye socket.The old lady's face was full of pustules, and when she opened her mouth to smile, she would reveal the few remaining black and yellow teeth in her mouth.

And the woman sitting in front of Chen Ziyang now formed a huge contrast with the Gu Master's younger sister who he imagined as a witch.

"You...you are...Sister Xu! Oh my god, Sister Xu, it's really you, we probably haven't seen each other for several years." After recognizing Xu Xiaoyuan, Shangguan Qing said excitedly.

"Isn't it? I'm afraid it's been five or six years. Are you okay recently..." The two women chatted happily. It seems that the relationship between the two people was not ordinary before. The attitude is very enthusiastic.

"Old umbrella, I thought I was enough to be a jerk, but I didn't expect Taoist Xiaoyuan to be even more jerk than me. Why are we chatting endlessly, and I forgot all the business." He whispered in his ear.

The two women exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Xu Xiaoyuan turned to the main topic: "Shangguan Qing, let's talk about the old days later, I came here to do something very important, do you know where your brother is now, I I need to find him urgently."

"Ah? Sister Xu, it's a coincidence that you came here. My brother just left a few days ago. If you had come three or five days earlier, you would have been able to see him. This time he went out this time, and he might not come back until the end of the year. "

"Ah! What a pity! It's all my fault. I don't have your phone number at all, otherwise I wouldn't have missed it." Xu Xiaoyuan said with some regret, biting her lip.

"By the way, what do you need from him? See if I can help you. If I can't help you, I'll tell you where my brother is, and you can go find him yourself.

But it's too remote there, and the mountain road will take more than half a month to walk, if you really need to find him urgently, that's all you can do. "

Xu Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up, that's right, this Shangguan Qing is the Gu Master's younger sister, maybe he also knows something about the Gu insect's picture.After exchanging glances with Chen Ziyang, Xu Xiaoyuan took out the paper with the worm pattern from her pocket and handed it to Shangguan Qing.
