Chapter 1201

Isn't it strange that villagers in Miao village are drowned every year?

In Xiao Chen's opinion, it was a strange thing, but in the eyes of many ordinary people, it was normal to be drowned. However, Xiao Chen came here this time not because someone drowned, but because some villagers in Dongjiang Miao village were poisoned.

"Sister beauty, are some villagers in Miao Village poisoned?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Yes, there are several."

"What are they like now?"

"Still alive."

Still alive?

Xiao Chen knew that as long as he was alive, he had a chance to save him.

First go up to the hanging foot upstairs. Xiao Chen sees an old man in blue Miao clothes. The old man's eyes are sharp and seem to be full of wisdom.

Just now, he had heard that the young man had just come and treated three missing children in the river.

"Are you Mr. Xiao?"

Seeing Xiao Chen's whole body wet, the Shi clan leader first asked Xiao Chen to take a bath and change into a set of dry clothes.

After Xiao Chen changed into the blue Miao clothes of Shi clan leader's family in the past, Xiao Chen found that this Miao clothes was worn for the first time, but it was very smooth and supple.

This should be woven from silk.

Silk is very expensive.

In ancient times, it was the rich who could afford it. Even now, many people don't wear clothes such as silk, but industrial clothes.

Therefore, being able to afford clothes made of silk here in Miao village 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 raise silkworms not indoors, but outdoors. They eat leaves and grow up outdoors, then spit silk outdoors, and then they are taken back by the Miao people to get silk, dye their hair into blue cloth, and finally become such clothes.

However, Xiao Chen found that it was really good.

"Mr. Xiao, how do you feel?" Chief Shi asked.

"It's very comfortable. It's the first time I wear this kind of clothes."

Clan leader Shi manages Dongjiang Miao village. His status is much higher than that of village cadres in Miao village. Therefore, every year, he has specific benefits, such as these cloth, which are given to him by the villagers.

"Clan leader Shi, I want to know what poison those villagers have been poisoned by?"

"We don't know."

"Then go and see those patients first."

Xiao Chen knew that he had to see the patient first.

Led by clan leader Shi, Xiao Chen came to one of the Miao strongholds, where a middle-aged man was poisoned by witches.

The middle-aged man's name is Shi Gong. When he went to Houshan to cut firewood a few days ago, when he came back, his family found that something was wrong with him.

Now when Xiao Chen came, only the middle-aged man's wife was at home, a strong middle-aged Miao woman.

The middle-aged woman first greeted clan leader Shi and soon learned that it was the people from Jiuli sect who came to treat her husband's witches and insects. The other party seemed much more enthusiastic.

Taking Xiao Chen inside, Xiao Chen smelled a very unpleasant mixed smell, and there was a smell of urine in it.

Xiao Chen hurried to open the window. After ventilation, he saw a middle-aged man lying naked on the bed with a quilt.

The middle-aged man is lying there now. His face is sallow and doesn't look much.

"How does your husband feel?"

"He's been yelling for a stomachache. I don't know why he has a stomachache?"

Keep yelling about stomachache?

Ordinary people think it must be the wrong thing to eat.

"Did you take any medicine?"

"I have taken painkillers. They are western medicine, but they have no effect." Said the middle-aged woman.

Xiao Chen sat down next to him. First, he examined the middle-aged man, including his pulse. Finally, he looked at each other's stomach with perspective eyes.

Soon, Xiao Chen can determine what witches and insects the other party has.

"Mr. Xiao, what happened to my husband?"

"I was really poisoned. If I guessed correctly, I should have been poisoned by the golden silkworm."

Golden silkworm Gu?

Clan leader Shi, sister sang and the middle-aged woman were frightened.

In the Miao area, many people have heard that the golden silkworm Gu is the most vicious. It is almost impossible to cure and can only wait to die.

The golden silkworm Gu comes from Miao area. It seals a variety of poisonous insects in a jar to let them kill each other and eat. After that year, there is only one left. Its shape and color have changed. It looks like a silkworm and its skin is golden.

Such as poisonous snakes, centipedes, lizards, earthworms, toads and other poisonous insects.

Others say that twelve kinds of poisonous insects are put in a jar and buried secretly at the intersection. After seven or forty-nine days, they are secretly taken out and put in a censer, and they are offered with green tea and sweet fragrance in the morning and evening; The golden silkworm thus obtained is invisible and exists in fragrant ash. When releasing poisonous insects, take the excrement or fragrant ashes of the golden silkworm and put them in the food for passing guests to eat.

Some demagogues emphasize the need to gather poisonous insects on May 5 of the lunar calendar, which is influenced by the traditional concept that poison gas is most abundant on May 5.

According to ancient books, there are more poisonous insects than those made on the Dragon Boat Festival. When the Yang Qi is at its peak, they use medicine, so that they can cause people to get sick and die. Also: it is made of snakes, insects and centipedes. If it can't be saved, it can be killed with one touch.

The legendary method of raising poisonous insects is similar to that in the first two years of Tongzhi.

As recorded in Tongzhi, 100 kinds of insects are used, while the barbarians want only 12 kinds. Before raising poisonous insects, the main hall should be cleaned clean. All the family, old and young, should take a bath, sincerely burn incense and light candles in front of the ancestral gods, and silently pray to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.

Then, in the center of the main hall, dig a big pit and bury a large cylinder. The cylinder should have a large mouth and belly to facilitate the capping. Moreover, the smaller the mouth, the more invisible the situation in the cylinder, the easier it is for people to fear the things in the cylinder and fear because of fear. The opening of the cylinder must be as flat as the earth.

Wait until the fifth day of the fifth lunar month to catch 12 kinds of reptiles in the fields. If the reptiles caught on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival could not be kept as insects, put them in a jar and cover them.

These reptiles are usually poisonous snakes, eels, centipedes, frogs, scorpions, earthworms, big green caterpillars, mantis, etc. in short, no flying creatures, no four legged running creatures, just some poisonous reptiles.

After the twelve kinds of reptiles are put into the tank, the owner's family prays once every night after falling asleep and once every day before people get up.

Pray for a year without interruption. And never let outsiders know when raising insects and praying. If outsiders know, their own poisonous insects will be taken away by witches and used by witches, and the owner's whole family will die.

Even if it is not taken away by the wizard, it will harm the master after it becomes a poison.

In a year, those reptiles devour each other in the tank. The more poisonous eat the less poisonous, the stronger eat the weaker, and finally there is only one left. After eating the other eleven, the reptile changes its shape and color.

According to legend, there are many kinds.

There are two main kinds: one is called Longgu, which is similar to the dragon in shape. It is about the long reptiles such as poisonous snake and centipede. One is called the unicorn bug, which is similar to the unicorn in shape. It is probably formed by short reptiles such as frogs and lizards.

A year later, when the poison bug had developed, the master dug out the jar and hid it in a secret room without air and light.

It is said that the things Gu likes to eat are fried eggs with lard and rice. After three or four years of feeding, Gu is about ten feet long. The owner will choose an auspicious day to open the cylinder head and let Gu fly out by himself.

After Gu leaves home, he can sometimes turn into a ball of fire and hover in the woods in the mountains. Sometimes he can turn into a dark shadow and travel between houses in the village.

The most magical time of Gu is dusk.

Every time Gu comes home, he still lives in the jar.

On the day when people eat, the owner doesn't have to feed them.

It is said that the advantage of keeping poisonous insects is not that the poisonous insects should directly steal babies outside for the master to use, but that they should rely on the spirit of poisonous insects to make the people who keep poisonous insects do everything smoothly.

If the master wants to do business, he can make a lot of profits by relying on the aura of Gu. If the master wants to be promoted, he can go straight up to the green clouds with the aura of Gu.

On the other hand, if I am careless and the people who are harmed by the insect know it, go and ask a special wizard to take away the insect, the master of the insect will do everything wrong and the whole family will die.

Golden silkworm insects like this are the most powerful of these witches!
