Chapter 70: What is Gu?

Of course, the discomfort in my heart will not be shown on my face, and after listening to Ling Ruxue tell all this, I asked, "Then why do you come here once every five years?" ”

Ling Ruxue said: "Once every five years, this is the responsibility of every village Gu girl, if Poche Witch comes here to supervise, it will be too *** and too provocative." (The fastest update speed can be found by remembering this site) I'm the next Gu girl, so since I was five years old, I have been here every five years. ”

"Are all Gu girls going to intermarry with the people of this village?" This question makes me a little nervous, if it is traditional, then what should I do?

Ling Ruxue shook her head and said: "This intermarriage has a somewhat sacrificial and restrictive flavor in it, because it has always been Bai Miao's woman who marries Hei Miao's man, and Hei Miao's woman will not marry Bai Miao's village." But you also know that the black and white seedlings have deep grievances, who will marry them willingly? The master once said that through one marriage after another, something will change, which can be regarded as a strategy. ”

I understand what the master meant, two people in marriage are intimate, thoughts will influence each other to some extent, marriage has the magic to change a nation, but it takes a long time to accumulate and absolute social environment advantages.

Obviously, those Bai Miao villages do not have that kind of advantage, at least when the black Miao walked out of the village, what they saw was not a society dominated by Bai Miao, but a society with a large number of Han people. This kind of marriage just makes Bai Miao's village more safe, after all, many family members in this Heimiao village are Bai Miao women.

"Then the sacrifice must be a Gu girl?" It was as if my heart was blocked by something.

"It's not, our Gu girl comes to the village once every five years to see if the people in this village exceed the population limit, and to see if the nearby village Heiyan Miao Village has expanded. In addition, it is to come here with people with constraints to put some pressure on Heiyan Miao Village. This is a kind of acquiescence on both sides, and it is originally fine. But since I came to the village when I was 15 years old, I have made up for Zhou" Speaking of this, Ling Ruxue pulled her hair, looking a little sullen, and she said softly: "In any case, our Baimiao Village is weak, and some sacrifices are not something we don't want to and can avoid." ”

My heart is a little bitter, I understand the meaning of Ling Ruxue's words, the Black Smoke Miao Village is barely suppressed here, from the reality point of view, this suppression seems to be getting weaker and weaker, and once it can't be suppressed, the first unlucky ones are a few Bai Miao Villages, compared to the interests of the village, what is a Gu girl? What about a marriage?

Moreover, Ling Ruxue's object is Bu Zhou, the son of the patriarch of Heiyan Miao Village, and the significance of this marriage is huge, and it is not something that Ling Ruxue can resist at all.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a feeling of powerlessness, I am just an outsider, what is enough reason to meddle in the affairs of other people's villages, not to mention that the things involved in this village may already involve the country, and it is good for a small person like me to protect himself in this disaster.

"Then why did you insist on staying?" My voice was muffled.

Ling Ruxue didn't answer my question directly, but just said: "From the Ming Dynasty to the present, there is no institution in power that does not pay attention to the hidden dangers of this village, do you know who is the main person in charge of restricting this village now?" ”

"Who?" I asked.

"The few people under your master's command, this winter should be the time he has made an appointment every five years. Dawu stopped coming here, just because he didn't want you to have an accident, whether it was Heiyan Miao Village, or the restraining force, it was not something that our village could offend, but I don't understand why he changed his mind and let you come, but he asked me to follow, I think that means to protect you, drag it until someone comes to save you. When Ling Ruxue said this, she said strangely: "I don't know what's wrong with Heiyan Miao Village, I know that your master is a restrictive person, why do you dare to target you." ”

My master is a restrictor?! I was surprised, as Ling Ruxue said, then why did they target me?

Just as I was thinking, Ling Ruxue said: "There are still many secrets in this village, just like decades ago, someone once broke into this village, he"

But when Ling Ruxue just said this, the strange sound of insects began to sound again, Ling Ruxue's face suddenly turned pale, her hands covered her abdomen all of a sudden, and even her body became stiff.

Looking at all this, I was already sure that Ling Ruxue's abdominal pain was related to this strange insect chirp, and I was almost uncontrollable in my distress, and I couldn't help but ask, "How can I help you?" ”

Ling Ruxue smiled miserably, and said intermittently: "It's this strange cry that makes me uneasy about my natal Gu, so I'll have a seizure, just let me lean on it." ”

After speaking, Ling Ruxue leaned on my shoulder, and only at this time did her pale face show the unique weakness of that kind of woman, which made people feel distressed.

Again, she grabbed my sleeve, her knuckles turned white from too hard, I didn't hesitate to hold her hand with my own hand, I just hoped that my temperature would give her something to lean on, or the same as last time, I said the same sentence almost without hesitation: "It's okay, I'm here." ”

"Hmm." Ling Ruxue replied almost inaudibly, and then closed her eyes and silently endured the pain, while I, staring at the dark night outside, only thought of one sentence in my heart, no matter how dark the night is, there will always be a dawn.

Ambiguous dividing line*********

Yesterday afternoon, Ling Ruxue and I had been talking for so long that we lost track of time, so at night, I witnessed her seizure in person. But after experiencing a 'tribulation' together, my relationship with Ling Ruxue has undoubtedly taken a step further.

But going a step further is nothing more than that she will greet me in a calm tone, answer some of my questions, and other than that, we don't have any superfluous words.

I've always been very curious about Miao Jiang's Gu technique, and I also want to understand what a natal Gu is, but after knowing the truth, I feel extremely shocked.

Ling Ruxue told me that in fact, the superficial classification of Gu should be, insects, powder, ointment, liquid, medicine, and spirit.

Natal Gu is not something that everyone can raise, people with natal Gu are people whose Gu skills are high to a certain level, the best natal Gu is a spirit, and if it is not good, it is a bug, but the bugs here are not ordinary bugs, but spirit worms.

Ling Ruxue didn't talk to me about this, it would take too long to talk about it in detail, she just told me that her natal Gu was a spirit worm, but she was very afraid of the insect chirping that would sound in this village at night, and it would make her uneasy and irritable.

The reason why I was shocked was because the so-called natal Gu was really raised in the body, which was too incredible, whether I was a Taoist priest or not, the first thing I came into contact with was a civilized society, and it was hard for me to imagine all this.

Facing my surprised look, Ling Ruxue told me very usually: "Natal Gu, to be driven by your mind, is also a lifelong companion with your master, you need to be fed with the master's essence blood. It's normal to live in the body! Bai Miao people generally swallow some special pills to raise Natal Gu when they are short of essence and blood, and only need to supply a small amount of essence blood every year, but Black Miao people generally choose to let Natal Gu find food by themselves, that is, to devour other people's essence blood. Speaking of which, this is also the reason why Bai Miao has always been weaker than Black Miao, because how can a long-term 'malnourished' natal Gu fight with a well-fed natal Gu? Unless it's a spirit worm whose level is much higher. ”

These secrets, I have never heard of, more than surprised, and I can still understand the spirit worm, that is, the spirit is higher than the average worm, so what is the spirit?

I was about to ask a question, but the Poche witch from the Black Smoke Miao Village had already come to the door.

When he saw Ling Ruxue here, he didn't care too much, and he didn't even shy away from Ling Ruxue in the process of taking blood, but Ling Ruxue looked at this process, and a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes, but what if she couldn't bear it? In the face of absolutely strong power, people have only yield.

After taking the blood this time, Poche did not leave in a hurry, but patted me on the shoulder and said, "I will give you a supplement, you stay here, and when the time comes, you will be free." ”

After saying that, he left, which seemed to soothe people's hearts, as if my blood made him very satisfied, and he was afraid that something would go wrong with my mobile blood bank?

After Poche Dawu left, as usual, two Miao people came in to guard me, probably because I was afraid that I would get acquainted with the Miao people who guarded me, in short, the Miao people who guarded me every day were different, and this time, there were two new people.

It's just one of them, as soon as they enter the house, they quietly wink at me, and when I look at it, my heart beats suddenly.
