Has the book record: „Takes the insect snake and so on, by household utensils hold Zhu, no matter what it from feeds the food, only thing alone, namely saying to be the gu, then can change is puzzled, along with chasing the food and wine, the manner contracts the calamity.” 有书记载:“多取虫蛇之类,以器皿盛贮,任其自相啖食,唯有一物独在者,即谓之为蛊,便能变惑,随逐酒食,为人患祸。” Miao people excel at raising the gu, the Hmong call „grass ghost”, but raises gu is the female, called „grass ghost woman”. 苗民擅养蛊,苗语叫“草鬼”,而养蛊者皆为女性,亦称“草鬼婆”。 The gu technique is not the Taoist skill, stems from the witch Nuo Culture, somewhat is but actually similar to the Maoshan technique. According to the Miao people convention, a border has a grass ghost woman surely, but since development, successor few. 蛊术不属于道术,起源于巫傩文化,与茅山术倒有些相似。按照苗民惯例,必定一个寨子有一个草鬼婆,不过发展至今,传人寥寥。 Surrounding area several hundred li (0.5 km), on white azure stronghold such a. 方圆数百里,也就白青寨这么一位。 The grass ghost woman is very special in the position of ethnic group, usually shut out by the clansman, various types were repelled, when there is a need, but also has to ask her to help. 草鬼婆在族群的地位很特殊,平日遭族人嫌弃,各种受排斥,但有需要时,还不得不找她帮忙。 Therefore they live alone, is eccentric, has disagreeable, disrespects to it slightly, will then put the gu to you. 因此她们多数独居,性情孤僻,有乖戾者,稍微对其不敬,便会对你放蛊。 But Xiaozhai sees, is actually a very pretty woman, the long hair bunch coils, the eye pupil like the water, stands near the stream waits and sees toward the wooden ceiling. Reason that said her to feel strange, is because her whole body cage emaciated, the morbid state, like being sent by anything on the body swallows the feeling of blood. 而小斋看到的,却是一个很漂亮的女人,长发束绾,眼眸如水,站在溪边往木楼观望。之所以说她奇怪,是因为她周身都笼着一种孱弱,病态,就像被什么东西寄在身上吞血的感觉。 Long Tang does not like obviously, finds out the window to shout: „They are my guest, you to elsewhere!” 龙棠显然不喜欢,探出窗户喊道:“他们是我的客人,你到别处去！” „......” “……” The woman sees her to poke head, liked, listens to this saying, facial color one dark, turns around to leave silently. 那女人见她探头,本是欢喜,又听这话,不禁面色一暗,默默转身离开。 „She is my elder sister, I five -year-old time, she was taken away by the grass ghost woman, comes back to turn into this. In brief do not approach.” “她是我阿姐,我五岁的时候,她就被草鬼婆带走了,回来就变成这样。总之你们不要靠近。” The Long Tang tone was also very complex, exhorted one, went downstairs without consulting anybody. 龙棠的语气也很复杂,嘱咐了一句,径自下楼。 After she walks, Xiaozhai looks at out of the window, said with a smile suddenly: „Does yu Elder Brother, how you see?” 待她走后,小斋又望了望窗外,忽笑道:“玙哥哥,你怎么看？” Pū! 噗！ Gu Yu suddenly/violently Han, said: „Do not be noisy!” 顾玙暴汗,道:“你别闹！” „I not noisy! Beautiful scenery, Miao woman is sentimental, you stay here to get married simply, I go to Western Paradise to learn from experienced people. When coming back, perhaps you gave birth to a lesser monk.” “我没闹啊！山清水秀,苗女多情,你干脆留在这儿成亲,我自己去西天取经。等回来时,说不定你就生出个小和尚了。” ! 嘁！ He is disinclined the resentment, only carries the bag to hit the bathroom, stuffy sound said: „I took a bath!” 他懒得回怼,只拎着袋子撞进浴室,闷声道:“我洗澡了！” Insipid! 没劲！ Xiaozhai shrugs, the body is relying on the window, two big long legs extend heartily. Xiaoqing also slid, happy walks randomly on the floor, as if is very pleasing here environment. 小斋耸了耸肩,身子倚着窗台,两条大长腿尽情伸展。小青也滑了出来,开心的在地板上游走,似乎很中意这里的环境。 She is teasing the pet, while bored looks to look everywhere. 她就一边逗着宠物,一边无聊的四处瞧看。 ...... …… Unknowingly, the weather is late. 不知不觉,天色已晚。 They go to the Long Tang home to eat meal, returns to the inn. The evening of Miao village is very arid, basically does not have the recreational activity, they chatted a meeting, goes to bed respectively the rest. 他们去龙棠家吃了饭,又回到客栈。苗寨的晚上很枯燥,基本没有娱乐活动,俩人闲聊了一会,各自上床休息。 The indoor is peaceful, the moonlight was chilly, burns the joss stick of half to flutter the light light smoke. 室内安静,月光清冷,烧了半截的安神香飘着淡淡青烟。 „!” “咝咝！” Suddenly, the plate becomes one group of Xiaoqing very to set out, probably by anything attraction, unconscious roaming to window. The tail ties down hand, opened a small seam, whiz drilled. 突然间,正盘成一团的小青挺起身,好像被什么东西吸引,不自觉的游到窗台。尾巴缠住把手一拉,就开了一条小缝,嗖地就钻了出去。 It walks randomly following the wooden ceiling, to ground, crossed the small stream, finally vanishes in the woods. 它顺着木楼游走,到了地面,又过了小溪,最后消失在树林中。 But in the woods deep place, in a smooth open area, that grass ghost woman is burning a side bronze tripod, the cauldron body circular, the mouth small stomach is big, below is putting up the fire of high-piled firewood. 而在树林深处,一块平坦的空地上,那个草鬼婆正烧着一方铜鼎,鼎身圆形,口小肚大,下面架着火堆。 She is gripping a green powder, increases toward in unceasingly, scatters white fog continuously from the cauldron mouth. Meanwhile, in the forest rustle continues, massive shadows are wriggling under the moonlight, climbing bronze tripod of rushing to be first. 她攥着一把绿色粉末,不断往里添加,从鼎口飘散出一缕缕的白雾。与此同时,林中簌簌不止,大量的黑影在月光下蠕动着,争先恐后的爬进铜鼎。 Has the spider, has the scorpion, has the small snake, has the centipede, impressively is an only fierce fearsome poisonous insect. 有蜘蛛,有蝎子,有小蛇,有蜈蚣,赫然是一只只狰狞可怖的毒虫。 The woman looked that the bronze tripod soon packs, reveals the happy expression, but immediately, this happy expression turned into the severe pain. 那女人看铜鼎快要装满,不禁露出喜色,而随即,这喜色就变成了剧痛。 „!” “啊！” „......!” “啊……啊！” Sees only her both eyes to shut tightly, hurts the whole body to twitch, under the snow white cheek formed a wave bulge unexpectedly, seems the living creature to run off to scurry about in inside. 只见她双目紧闭,疼得全身抽搐,雪白的面皮下竟形成了一块波浪凸起,似有活物在里面乱钻乱窜。 „Plate king on, blesses me, blesses me......” “盘王在上,佑我,佑我……” The women are nipping the root, the corners of the mouth faint trace blood red, forces toward the cauldron in a finger/refers. 女人咬着牙根,嘴角丝丝血红,勉强往鼎中一指。 Bang! 轰！ Like strengthened the fire intensity instantaneously, in the cauldron gurgle gurgle the start bubbling, is mixing with frantic neighing of poisonous insect, appalling. 就像瞬间增强了火势,鼎中咕嘟咕嘟的开始冒泡,夹杂着毒虫的疯狂嘶叫,令人毛骨悚然。 Crossed half sound, neighed subsides gradually, the complexion of woman also changed for the better slightly. phantom that her another finger/refers, the naked eye cannot distinguish together flashed through, resembles to retract within the body. 过了半响,嘶叫渐渐平息,女人的脸色也略微好转。她又一指,一道肉眼分辨不出的虚影闪过,似缩回到了体内。 „Hū...... shouts......” “呼……呼……” Her gasping for breath in gulps, if is really saved from death. 她大口大口的喘着气,真若死里逃生。 „!” “咝咝！” At this time, the front also has the sound to transmit, she is startled, actually saw emerald green small snake to emit the head an all over the body. These two goods come following the flavor, finally to the scene, actually discovered that others stopped work for the day. 正此时,前方又有响动传来,她一怔,却见一条通体翠绿的小蛇冒出了头。这二货循着味道前来,结果到了现场,却发现人家收工了。 He shook the head, but also very uncomfortable appearance. 丫晃了晃脑袋,还挺不爽的样子。 A woman eyes bright, such spirit snake is quite rare, if can grasp to feed, will wait for next year the day of fifth day of the fifth lunar month, put in Guweng. With the aptitude of this spirit snake, must become the winner, that is an excellent Yin snake gu. 女人却眼睛一亮,此等灵蛇极为罕见,若能抓回去喂养,等明年端午之日,放于蛊瓮。以这灵蛇的资质,必成胜者,那便是绝好的一只阴蛇蛊。 The Yin snake gu, the gu enters , then forms, or for the snake, or is the meat turtle, various places in the body bites. At night really ; Has the Yin snake to enter the pore to nip with the wind, in the diplomacy attacks , without to seek treatment. 阴蛇蛊,蛊入则成形,或为蛇、或为肉鳖,在身内各处咬噬。夜间更甚;有阴蛇随风入毛孔来咬,内外交攻,无可求治。 „!” “咝咝！” Xiaoqing following master was used to cocky, does not know the danger, sees this woman to stand up, smiles to oneself. 小青跟着主人得瑟惯了,不知危险,就见这女人站起身,对自己笑了笑。 The next second, it felt oneself fluttered, right, was flies high to flutter, and rapid moved toward that side. Xiaoqing exploded immediately, goes all out to twist the body, what a pity cannot work loose. 下一秒,它就觉得自己飘了起来,没错,就是凌空飘了起来,并迅速往那边移动。小青立时炸了,拼命拧着身子,可惜挣脱不得。 Waited till the near, the woman asked to grasp, thinks suddenly the sharp broken wind sound/rumor raided together. 等到了近前,女人伸手就要抓,忽觉一道尖锐的破风声袭来。 „!” “啪！” Center gravel her the back of the hand, Xiaoqing falls in the place, turns around to escape. 一颗石子正中她的手背,小青掉落在地,转身即逃。 „Not doing right by, that snake is my, you cannot grasp.” “对不住,那蛇是我的,你不能抓。” With greeting, in the forest goes out of two, is a man and a woman in inn. They stand to the field, and harmless, thick curiosity. 随着一句招呼,林中走出俩人,正是客栈里的一男一女。他们站至场中,并无恶意,只有浓浓的好奇。 „A moment ago what you used is what, is the gu?” Gu Yu asked. “你刚才用的是什么,也是蛊么？”顾玙问。 „......” “……” A woman brow wrinkle, the red lip trembles lightly, resembles is talking over anything. 女人眉头一皱,红唇轻颤,似在念叨着什么。 Gu Yu sudden look one cold, luck in palm, the right hand grasps forward, immediately, then grasps slightly. 顾玙突然眼神一凛,运气于掌,右手向前一抓,随即稍顿,然后又是一抓。 „My goodness!” “好家伙！” He is unthinkable, only thinks that the palm stabbing pain, like bitten slightly. But that invisible thing runs into a wall, directly soars Xiaozhai, the Xiaozhai finger selects, the bright as snow dagger turns circle, in front one horizontal. 他匪夷所思,只觉掌心微微刺痛,像被叮了一下。而那无形的东西碰壁,又直奔小斋,小斋手指一挑,雪亮的匕首转了个圈,在面前一横。 „Kill!” “戕！” The void mesosaurus recited resounds through, dim light of night startled. 虚空中龙吟响彻,夜色惊荡。 The woman facial color big change, this they can block oneself gu insect unexpectedly, is about to all -out attack, listens to some people to shout: 女人面色大变,这俩人居然能挡住自己的蛊虫,待要全力攻击,又听有人呼喊: „Long Qiu!” “龙秋！” „Long Qiu!” “龙秋！” Good, the tonight's woods are really lively, this is the third group. Chaotic sound of footsteps speedy approach, altogether drills many people, Long Tang of drivehead, behind follows two young, one of them carries a boy. 好嘛,今晚的树林真是热闹,这已经是第三拨了。乱糟糟的脚步声迅速接近,一股脑的钻出好些人,打头的正是龙棠,后面跟着两个青壮,其中一人背着个男孩。 „yu Elder Brother, Elder Sister Xiaozhai, you how......” “玙哥哥,小斋姐姐,你们怎么……” Long Tang sees this situation, stares, gets angry: „Long Qiu, you injured someone!” 龙棠见此情形,不由一愣,怒道:“龙秋,你又害人了！” „No, I do not have......” “没有,我没有……” Woman exercises forbearance to her, the style transfers suddenly, flurried beckoning with the hand. 女人似对她非常忍让,画风骤转,慌乱的摆着手。 „Added does not have, your cauldron here!” “还说没有,你的鼎就在这儿呢！” „She truly does not have, we cannot fall asleep to stroll, bumps into.” Gu Yu breaking through. “她确实没有,我们睡不着出来逛逛,碰巧遇到的。”顾玙给解了围。 „Snort!” “哼！” Long Tang then gives up, dislike glanced a bronze tripod, said: „Hill belly hurts, you give to have a look.” 龙棠这才作罢,厌恶的瞟了眼铜鼎,道:“小山肚子疼,你给看看。” „......” “哦……” Long Qiu lowers the head to go forward, making the boy lie low in the place, traces his abdomen, asked: „How long did he hurt?” 龙秋垂头上前,让男孩平躺在地,摸了摸他的腹部,问:“他疼多久了？” „When dinner fortunately good, rests shouts the belly to hurt to the midnight, we delivered immediately.” A man should say. “晚饭时还好好的,睡到半夜喊肚子疼,我们就马上送过来了。”一个男子应道。 „Possibly ate the dirty thing, comes with me.” “可能吃了脏东西,跟我来吧。” Saying, her leads the people to walk toward the deep place, stops before a log cabin. Others do not dare to approach, her going in moment, took one to live the egg and a red line comes out. 说着,她带着众人往深处走,停在一栋木屋前。旁人都不敢靠近,她进去片刻,拿了一枚生鸡蛋和一根红线出来。 Long Qiu ties up the red line on the egg, then points at one stroke, the white and tender small arm seeped out several drops of blood beads. She the blood drop to the egg on, the dark-red blood bead following the egg shell, bound the red line little friendly. 龙秋把红线绑在鸡蛋上,然后手指一划,白嫩的小臂就渗出了几滴血珠。她将血滴到鸡蛋上,暗红色的血珠顺着蛋壳,一点点融裹了红线。 Dropped a meeting, she raises the clothes of boy, rolls in the abdomen with the egg. 滴了一会,她把男孩的衣服掀起,用鸡蛋在腹部滚来滚去。 The expression of people are very strange, the fear also has the hope. Gu Yu and Xiaozhai do wink is staring, all feels novelly interesting, this is completely the energy of another system, is entirely different from the magic arts. 众人的表情十分奇怪,恐惧又带着期盼。顾玙和小斋一眨不眨的盯着,皆感新奇有趣,这完全是另一个体系的能量,跟道法截然不同。 Roughly after several minutes, Long Qiu asked: „Is belly painful?” 约莫几分钟后,龙秋问:“肚子还痛么？” „It is not painful.” The boys support the small face to say. “不痛了。”男孩挺着小脸应道。 „, Remembers later don't......” “呵,记得以后别……” „Aiya, is not painful well, is not painful well. Walks, we go back to sleep, this time thank you!” “哎呀,不痛就好,不痛就好。走,我们回去睡觉,这次谢谢你了！” Her words have not said that the man hugs the child, escape puts down one. The Long Tang also gathering near, said: „yu Elder Brother, we also walks, here was all right.” 她话还没说完,那男人就抱起孩子,逃命似的撂下一句。龙棠也凑到近前,道:“玙哥哥,我们也走吧,这里没事了。” „......” “……” They have not moved, she was feeling strange, actually saw the Xiaozhai rub-down bath in the past, said with a smile: „Can your egg give me?” 俩人都没动,她正奇怪,却见小斋抹身过去,笑道:“你那个鸡蛋能给我么？” „Un?” “嗯？” Long Qiu raised the head, in the lost eye flashes through a surprise, unconscious has handed over the egg. 龙秋抬起头,失落的眼中闪过一丝诧异,不自觉的把鸡蛋递过。 „, Thanks!” “呵,谢谢！” Xiaozhai smiles, this sets out to flash the person. 小斋笑了笑,这才起身闪人。 Tonight has no interest in rest again, they had/left the woods, returning to the inn, Long Tang unable to bear the complaint: „Do you do with that is unclean.” 今晚无心再睡,他们出了树林,回到客栈,龙棠忍不住埋怨:“你们拿那个干什么,不干净的。” „How is unclean?” Gu Yu asked. “怎么个不干净？”顾玙问。 „In any case,......, do not knock in any case!” “反正,反正……哎呀,你别敲！” She saw Xiaozhai to knock an egg, hid hastily one side, looked that does not dare to look. 她见小斋磕了一下鸡蛋,连忙躲到一边,看都不敢看。 They are bewildered, see that egg crash-bang to fall in the teacup, collects goes excessively. The egg white, is the egg white, the egg-yolk is very strange, is not yellow, but is white and shiny one lump. 俩人莫名其妙,见那鸡蛋哗啦落在茶杯里,不由凑过头去。蛋清呢,还是蛋清,蛋黄却很古怪,不是黄黄的,而是白花花的一坨。 „Hey!” “噫！” Even they a little are disgusting, that unexpectedly is one pile in the white insect of creeping motion. 连他们都有点恶心,那竟是一堆在蠕动的白色虫子。 „Is this gu?” Xiaozhai strange say/way. “这就是蛊么？”小斋奇道。 „They are not the gu insects, this should be,......” “它们不算蛊虫,这应该是,呃……” Long Tang thinks the adjective, said: „Should by the sickness air/Qi that the gu removes, un, is this.” 龙棠想了想形容词,道:“应该是被蛊去除的病气,嗯,是这样。” They are startled, that may the true God, the sickness air/Qi be able to substantialize unexpectedly, turns into thin white insects. Gu Yu blinks, says with a smile: „You, if going home, is not staying behind anxiously chats, we are very curious to this.” 俩人一怔,那可真神了,病气居然能实体化,变成一条条细白虫子。顾玙眨了眨眼睛,笑道:“你要是不急着回家,就留下聊聊,我们对这个很好奇。” „Ok, I cannot fall asleep in any case.” “可以啊,反正我也睡不着。” Long Tang sees him to detain, naturally did not have the words saying that said: „Actually I do not understand, knows that the gu has the good type, can offend somebody, can save others. Before a border must have a grass ghost woman, afterward no one studied, Long Qiu possibly is last.” 龙棠见他挽留,自然没话说,道:“其实我也不太懂,就知道蛊有多好种,能伤人,也能救人。以前一个寨子必须有一个草鬼婆,后来都没人学了,龙秋可能是最后一个。” She speaking of Long Qiu, was dim, low base and low: „Zhaizili had the grass ghost woman, very big age. She feared that this thing is lost, found the uncle, the uncle makes her select in five Zhaizili, finally before selected the elder sister...... the elder sister, was not such......” 她说到龙秋,不由黯淡了些,低低道:“寨子里原本有个草鬼婆,很大年纪了。她怕这个东西失传,就找到阿伯,阿伯让她在五个寨子里挑,最后就挑中了阿姐……阿姐以前不是这样的……”
