It turns out that this black leather comes from a very powerful natural Gu.
It's called the Black Ice Giant Earthworm.
This kind of Gu insect is very rare.
Of course, it is also very powerful - it is one of the nine most powerful natural Gus in Miao legend!
It looks like a large black earthworm. Its adult form is about a foot long and about the thickness of a thumb. But it’s not the slimy, greasy skin of ordinary earthworms.
Rather, it is as tough and smooth as some kind of beetle.
The black ice giant earthworm has the magical ability to generate extremely cold power. Where it crawls, even rocks within a few meters of it can freeze and crack!
Legend has it that black ice giant earthworms cannot be cultivated artificially, and Gu masters can only capture them in the remote mountains and old forests in the Miao border area.
After catching it, the Gu Master will first spend time taming it.
Once it is successfully tamed, you can slowly turn it into your own [Original Gu]...
A Gu Master can have many different types of Gu insects for him to control, but he can only have one natal Gu.
The natal Gu is different from ordinary Gu insects. It is connected to the life of the Gu master, and they have a very wonderful connection with each other. And it is far more powerful than ordinary Gu insects!
When the Gu Master dies, the native Gu will also die.
If the natal Gu dies, although the Gu master will not die, his vitality will be severely damaged and his strength will decline to varying degrees.
If you are lucky enough, the black ice giant earthworm can live for more than a hundred years... and it will transform again!
Its black skin will become invulnerable to water and fire. Even if it is thrown away at will, it will not be damaged or decayed at all after thousands of years of wind and rain.
Therefore, the Gu masters of the "Sheng Miao" Miao Village will use the skin of this black ice giant earthworm that has lived for a hundred years to make the Gu books that are circulated in the village - each village has its own unique Gu technique.
After listening to Lao Cao talk about this, I somewhat understood.
"In other words, this black ice giant earthworm is very powerful. A stronghold that can kill it and use its skin to make the Gu Book handed down from generation to generation must be very powerful!"
"not like this."
Lao Cao shook his head and refuted my statement.
"Don't talk about the century-old black ice giant earthworm. The one that has matured for forty years is already very powerful and extremely difficult to catch. And if it is really strong, this thing would rather turn itself into a pile of black ice. You won’t let anyone succeed.”
"That's it..."
I mused, holding my chin.
"Then, there is only one possibility! There was a very powerful Gu Master in this Miao village. He caught the black ice giant earthworm when it was young, and then turned it into its natal Gu. After that, this Gu Master was at least still I will live for more than sixty years."
"If the black ice giant earthworms captured are smaller, the Gu Master will have to live longer. This means that he and the Gu worms will be stronger!"
"After the Gu Master dies, the black ice giant earthworm that is the natal Gu also dies. That's why its skin can be peeled off and made into a book. Then it will be immortal for thousands of years and be passed down from generation to generation."
That's right!
Lao Cao nodded and looked at me with eyes full of approval.
"Xiao Wu is really smart."
I went on to say...
"Therefore, the Gu masters who can meet this condition must be geniuses and strong men in a certain village who are rare to see for hundreds of years. Therefore, the village that can use the skin of the black ice giant earthworm to make Gu books must also be It has a very deep inheritance and strong voodoo skills.”
yes!
Lao Cao sighed, reaching out and gently stroking the cold and smooth cover of the Gu book.
"The Leidong Miao Village must be very strong... It's a pity that it was wiped out by the attack of modern guns and weapons. The era of Xuanmen Jianghu has long passed."
His expression and tone seemed a little depressed.
There is still an air of twilight all over his body.
I laughed, walked over and patted his shoulder, comforting him.
"There is no need to be so pessimistic. Indeed, when human scientific civilization flourished and the industrial revolution began, the power of metaphysics in both the West and China gradually weakened..."
"But we are all still there after all, aren't we? There is no need to be so demanding in practicing cultivation to a certain level. Look at those heavenly masters in Longhu Mountain in ancient times. No matter how powerful they are, do they still want to be emperors?"
Lao Cao shook his head vigorously: "That will definitely not work! The emperor controls the fate of a country and is closely connected with the dragon vein. Even those high-ranking Buddhist and Taoist sects who look down on our folk dharma lineage dare not touch this."
"That's it!"
I slapped my thigh.
"In ancient times, people in Xuanmen couldn't control everything. What's the difference from modern times? The righteous monks who live honestly, strong or weak, ancient and modern, are all the same. On the contrary, those evil cultivators, in ancient times, they were too It’s great. In modern times, you have to be honest and not be too presumptuous..."
"Xiao Wu, you are right, there is no need to dwell on the past!"
After hearing what I said, Lao Cao felt much relieved.
Actually... I don’t even believe these words myself!
There is a saying that Xuanmen practitioners are indeed not living as well as in ancient times. Not even as good as when Lao Cao was young.
In addition, Master said that now is the Dharma Ending Age, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has long been exhausted. It is already very, very difficult to practice to a more advanced level!
I actually feel bad about it.
But fortunately, I am young and have been like this since I was born. I don’t know what it was like before. There is no comparison like Lao Cao, and the mentality is more likely to be bad.
After talking about this, Lao Cao handed the Gu book of Leidong Miao Village back to my hand.
With a serious expression, he warned seriously.
"Xiao Wu, this book is definitely a priceless treasure. The thousands of years of Gu magic inheritance of a powerful Miao Miao Village is definitely very amazing."
"And it has been in Lianghe Town for more than ten years, and neither I nor anyone else has discovered it. You got it just half a year after you came to school, which means that this thing is destined to you."
"You have to keep it well and don't let anyone know about it. Otherwise, it will be a crime to have a treasure in your possession!"
I smiled and said: "Old Cao, I can't understand such a precious thing. Of course I have to give it to my master. She might be able to understand it. What's more, no matter how precious it is, it can't compare to what I have. "House Sutra" and "Burial Sutra" or something like that?"
Ouch!
Lao Cao patted his forehead lightly.
"I am concerned and confused. Xiao Wu, you just need to know what's going on."
"clear."
After saying that, we looked at each other and smiled.
Although Lao Cao is older than my father, it is very relaxing to get along with him, and there is no sense of isolation like when getting along with ordinary older people.
At this time, Wang Hu, who had been listening quietly nearby, stood up.
"Boss, Brother Wu, are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and get you two bowls of noodles."
That's good!
I really like eating the tomato braised pork noodles made by Wang Hu.
…
Arrived at school the next day.
The bell for morning self-study rang for ten minutes before Yao Nan hurried over.
She was actually late, which was rare.
So I joked.
"My deskmate, winter is here, have you started hibernating too?"
Unexpectedly, Yao Nan glared at me and curled his lips.
"It's not your fault! I know there is magic in this world. My deskmate is an expert in magic, just like the Taoist priests in Hong Kong movies. I didn't sleep well last night. I did a lot The messy dreams are all your fault..."
Wang Dachun, who was at the table behind Yao Nan, leaned forward and probably heard only the last sentence.
He was suddenly shocked and whispered exaggeratedly.
"Wow! Classmate Yao Nan, you had a bunch of random dreams related to Angkor last night? Is this dream serious?"
Yao Nan: "..."
Me: "Get lost! Wang Dachun, you're itchy. I'll take care of you next time during self-study."
"Brother Angkor doesn't want it..."
This guy screamed exaggeratedly again, and Zeng Jin next to him couldn't help but laugh too.
I looked at Teresa Teng’s position.
It's empty.
She didn't come to the classroom until the second class in the morning.
I stayed in my seat for a few minutes.
Then I quickly went to the office, and when I came out, I started to pack away the textbooks, exercise books, and other things on the desk and in the drawers.
I thought to myself: "Well, it seems that I am honest and obedient. Am I still very intimidating now?"
The last class in the morning was the math class taught by the head teacher Chen Xue. He also announced in front of the whole class that Deng Liqian was going to transfer to another school due to personal family reasons. Let us applaud and wish her well...
School ends at noon.
Deng Liqian carried her schoolbag and walked to Yao Nan and I's desk.
"What are you doing here?"
Yao Nan asked expressionlessly.
I could feel that her body was a little stiff, and she was obviously not as calm as she showed.
Deng Liqian looked at Yao Nan, and then took out something from her pocket.
Put it on the desk.
I saw it was a little bird made of bamboo.
"Xiao Nan, I made this myself. My grandma sometimes makes some bamboo weavings to sell on the street, and I also follow her. I took the time to make it. I made it for two weeks, and I originally wanted to give it to you..."
"Thanks, but no need."
Yao Nan stared into her eyes: "We are no longer friends. I won't ask for anything from you, just take it."
Yao Nan said, picked up the bamboo bird and put it back in Deng Liqian's hand.
Deng Liqian's eyes were red.
After a long time, he bit his lip and whispered.
"Yes, I understand. But I still want to say...I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
After saying that, Teresa Teng turned around and left with her schoolbag on her back.
Until her back completely disappeared at the door of the classroom, until she and I were the only ones left in the classroom, as well as Wang Dachun and Zeng Jin.
Yao Nan suddenly covered her mouth, tears falling down heavily.
I understand how she feels.
The person who had always been a good sister and good friend actually treated me like this, almost turning me into a lifelong mute! The pain of betrayal is as painful as a knife piercing my heart just thinking about it.
But it’s true…she was also a good friend once!
Wow wow wow!
Yao Nan finally couldn't help but burst into tears, turned around and hugged me.
At this time, it was a bit embarrassing.
I actually wanted to push it away.
But I really can't bear it. It would be too cruel to push away a vulnerable person at this time.
I had no choice but to let Yao Nan hold me and cry for a while. Tears rolled down the back of my neck, burning hot.
"Is this the pain of being betrayed by a friend? I hope I never have to experience this."
I thought to myself.
…
Three days after Teresa Teng transferred to another school and left, the New Year's Day party was successfully held.
Yao Nan's solo song "My Deskmate" finally got his wish and won the "Best Song" award that night.
Our whole class is very happy!
As for the Michael Jackson break dance that Wang Dachun and his younger brothers danced...
Just as I expected, when he covered his crotch with his hands and thrust forward one by one, he danced Michael's classic move. The whole audience cheered.
But the faces of the school leaders sitting in the front row were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Especially the oldest principal, who had an "offensive" expression written all over his face. He probably wanted to go up and drag him down and beat him on the spot.
In the end, the score of this program was at the bottom of the audience!
But Wang Dachun said that they won "the hearts of the people" - the cheers of the students.
Yao Nan and I are also convinced by his Ah Q spirit of amusing himself...
