"Since Gao Azheng is trapped by love, maybe finding her true sweetheart can untie her knot."
Song Siyuan's words made the people around her look confused. Ren Peacock shook his head: "It's definitely hard to find. Gao Azheng is unconscious. As for the Gao family, they probably know who he is, but they definitely don't want us to see him." If you get to that person, you won’t be able to find out if you ask.”
"Then we can only cheat it out!"
Yue Guanchao looked at her: "You mean, you want to lure that person out."
"Yes, Gao A-Zheng would rather fall into a trap than get married, which shows how good their relationship is. If this person knew that Gao A-Zheng was in danger, do you think he would show up?"
Song Siyuan's words opened an opening for everyone, and Ren Peacock and the others' eyes lit up: "That's okay, but we have to figure out how to deceive everyone in the Gao family, and how to get Gao Azheng to cooperate with us."
As for Ren Kongque's thoughts, Song Siyuan had another set of thoughts. She considered: "Actually, we don't need Gao Azheng to cooperate with us. The more realistic the acting is, the more we can catch that person. Maybe we can use some The trick is to keep Gao Azheng in the dark and let everyone get involved. The more realistic the acting is, the more it will attract that person's attention."
"You mean, we need to use some method to temporarily put Gao Azheng's life in danger. At the same time, we need to be able to control the process, so that we can ensure that she is not harmed."
Song Siyuan nodded decisively: "Yes, without harming Gao A-Zheng, maybe the Gao family will wake up only after experiencing a life-and-death separation."
Ren Kongque had already thought about what Song Siyuan was going to do, and said: "In that case, we can only use the Gu doctor. Only the Gu doctor can do what we said."
"That's fine. Those three bastards are probably back from Xiu'an County today. Lan Ruling's mother is the Gu doctor. Let's see what Lan Ruling can do."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, everyone finished the county government affairs and returned to Tudong Town. They went up to Fengtou Mountain near noon and saw Lan Ruling walking into the courtyard.
"Master?"
"What are you doing? We brought you vegetarian meat and chicken. We know you like to eat it, but we didn't even taste a bite. We kept it all for you."
As Lan Ruling spoke, she invited You Tianchen to the table. When the old Taoist priest sat down, he introduced their situation in the past few days. By the way, he also talked about helping Gao Azheng.
After listening to what they said, Gao Azheng was silent for a moment and said: "You mean, you want me to choose a Gu technique that has a strong reaction and is not harmful to the body, and use it on Gao Azheng?"
"My enemy, that's what we want to do. Your mother has taught you a lot of Gu medical skills. Do you have any ideas on how to recognize them?"
Ren Peacock also knows some self-defense voodoo skills. If she just casts voodoo, she can do it by herself. However, voodoo skills are very different from voodoo medical skills, so she does not dare to take action easily.
Lan Ruling said: "If you want to talk about Gu medicine, you have to mention Gu technique. The two restrain each other, which can be regarded as the southwestern secret arts that complement each other..."
As mentioned earlier, Xiangxi has been the border between ethnic minorities and Han nationalities for a long time in ancient times. The culture of gods from the Han region and the shamanistic culture from the southwest have continuously mixed and intersected here, forming the mythical view of the mountains and rivers of Western Hunan today.
It was also in this context that the art of voodoo was spread here with the migrating voodoo people from the southwest and integrated into the lives of the local people.
What is voodoo?
The word "gu" already gives the answer. The insect hidden in the vessel is called "gu"!
As early as in ancient times, ancient shamans may have discovered that after people store food in jars, certain tiny flying insects will appear under the catalysis of the environment. These are the most primitive poisons.
It was under this circumstance that they began to refine the poisonous poison. The ancient ancestors would put snakes and insects into the same vat and let the insects eat and kill them. If there was still one poisonous insect alive in the end, it meant that the poisonous insect was refined successfully.
It can be said that there is no fixed type of voodoo. Flowers, birds, insects, and fish can be used as voodoos. Snakes, scorpions, ants, and animals can be used as voodoos. In terms of traditional voodoo techniques, there are snake voodoo, dog voodoo, cat ghost voodoo, scorpion voodoo, and toad. There are so many voodoos, insect voodoos, and flying voodoos, and as for the private voodoos hidden in the Gu Village, they are even more numerous.
Because the southwest is a remote place where bandits are rampant, voodoo is inherently used for self-defense, and because women are often more vulnerable to danger than men, the practice of releasing voodoos and raising voodoos is mostly done by women. There are many voodoo witches and witches in the southwest. This is the case.
It is true that the poison is invisible and intangible, but the power of the poison can be seen. For example, the love flower poison can make people fall in love with the person who cast the poison, and they will not be able to escape in life or death; the evil spirit poison can make people see evil ghosts, hear ghosts crying, and if in their hearts Feeling guilty, even panicking all day long, and eventually dying of madness and exhaustion;
The harm caused by poisonous poisons ranges from dizziness and brain fever, broken limbs and pain, worms in the lungs and intestines, mental madness to separation of souls. They can be described as comprehensive and complicated. Even everything is a poison, and everything can be affected by the poison. Anyone who is affected by the poison will definitely suffer. Unbearable.
The mystery of voodoo and the pain of being poisoned have cast another layer of shadow on voodoo. In fact, the shadow of voodoo is even popular in the Central Plains and can be heard in the market.
For the Central Plains, the southwestern region has steep mountains, hot and humid fog, miasma, poisonous mirages, and deep forests with many insects. This kind of place is naturally the corner of the world. Coupled with the people's fear and imagination of poisonous magic, the secret arts of southern Xinjiang have become the central plains. The first impression that comes to people when they think of Southwest.
Starting from the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang had denounced strange powers and chaotic gods and only respected the righteous gods. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it had been stipulated that those who practice witchcraft and Gu would be put to death. Wei Zifu, mother and son were executed because they were falsely accused of promoting the practice of witchcraft and Gu. The dynasties have also promulgated laws, and those who practice witchcraft and Gu must be beheaded, and in serious cases, the Nine Clans will be executed.
Gu magic and rebellion are treated equally, which shows the fear of Gu magic in the Central Plains dynasty!
Although the mysterious Gu technique is extremely evil, it can be regarded as providing security to the southwest to some extent, allowing the Central Plains regime to always adopt a strategy of stabilization and appeasement in the southwest, and will not easily use weapons unless it is absolutely necessary.
Although the poison is vicious, it is not impossible to identify and control.
Elderly people all say that when raising voodoos, they must release the voodoos every once in a while. If they hold back the voodoos without releasing the voodoos, their eyes will become bloodshot and depressed. They will return to normal after the voodoos are released. If they do not release the voodoos all year round, The poison will come back to them.
It is also easy to judge whether they are Gu women. When you enter the house, if there are no spider silk webs in the house and it is clean and bright, then there must be Gu insects living there. As long as you don't eat or drink what they hand over, and don't touch it too much. The body is fine.
If you accidentally get poisoned by poison, there is no way to cure it. There has always been a legend in Xiangdi that there must be a house that cures poisonous poison around a house that raises poisonous poison. If you get poisoned by poison, you can definitely find it if you walk around that family. People who know how to remove poisons are those who learn the art of healing poisons.
This is the solution corresponding to the poisonous poison technique, the medical poison technique.
These medical voodoo girls are all taught how to save people. They are kind-hearted, intelligent and beautiful, and have a bodhisattva heart to save the world and save people. Whenever they encounter people who have been poisoned, they will use medical skills to remove the voodoo. I don’t know how they do it. The only thing I know is that this rule has always been effective, and the harm caused by the evil lady must be cured by the medical woman.
The reason is that although the poison is powerful, it is something that cannot be put on the market. Compared with the orthodox Taoism, it is just a heretical and evil magic. If the orthodox way can kill it, there will be a solution if there is a way to release the poison. The way of Gu.
This is the principle of yin and yang in heaven and earth, mutually reinforcing and restraining each other.
After the reform, the government vigorously prohibited witchcraft from harming people, eliminated evil ways, and encouraged the people in the mountainous areas to adopt naturalized rule, and established economic and trade relations with the Central Plains dynasties. From then on, the witchcraft in western Hunan continued to disappear, and now Today's women in Xiangdi either don't know how to use voodoo, or if they do, it's self-defense voodoo.
These voodoo spells will only cause headaches and fever, hallucinations, and hallucinations. They are just frightening self-defense tricks. They are fundamentally different from evil voodoo spells that can kill people. They are enough to deal with ordinary ruffians.
What Ren Peacock knew was this kind of self-defense voodoo. Even if this kind of voodoo was harmless, it would still damage the body. It should not be tried easily. It was expected that only Lan Ruling could come up with a solution.
After listening to Ren Kongque's words, Lan Ruling thought for a moment and nodded: "My mother-in-law is a voodoo doctor. She knows many voodoo techniques that make people look seriously ill but actually do no harm. If I had to choose, I would definitely choose Peach Blossom. Gu, this is a voodoo technique used to cure peach blossom epilepsy."
Peach blossom epilepsy, also known as nymphomania, most often occurs in the spring season. People with peach blossom epilepsy, regardless of gender, will smile uncontrollably whenever they see handsome and beautiful young people, and may even want to start a family with these people. , give birth to children, and don’t use the crazy attitude at all.
This disease is also affectionately called nymphomaniac disease by the common people!
Lan Ruling continued to explain: "If someone suffers from peach blossom epilepsy in March and April, my mother-in-law will use peach blossom voodoo to treat them. My mother said that the vegetation in western Hunan is luxuriant, and the flowers will be in full bloom in spring. Some voodoo voodoos will People who use the voodoo under the flowers to get pollen on them will develop symptoms of peach blossom epilepsy within a few days. At that time, they can only find someone to say good things and give them gifts, and then the voodoo lady will cure them of the voodoo."
"This kind of peach blossom voodoo is specially used to relieve voodoo poison. If a person who has not been poisoned by the voodoo is planted with peach blossom voodoo, his body will smell fragrant, his skin will flush and become thin, and he will sometimes cry and sometimes be happy, unable to restrain himself. This kind of voodoo only has emotions. The changes are not physically harmful and may satisfy your requirements.”
"Well, you come with us when the time comes, and when you get the chance, you can plant the poison in her. Our plan will be half successful just by waiting for her to attack."
In the evening, the old Taoist priest took them to Gao's house for the final finishing ceremony. This time Gao Azheng had to come out to deal with it personally.
After a while, the Gao family invited Gao Azheng to come out and kneel in front of the shrine. The old Taoist priest picked up a willow branch and beat her on her body to chant a spell. During this process, Lan Ruling acted as a magician and found the right opportunity to inflict Gao Azheng. Peach Blossom Gu.
Seeing that they succeeded, the old Taoist priest quickly took Lan Ruling and left the Gao family after the practice was completed, just waiting for the poison to take effect!
Some people died, but not completely...
