Chapter 160 Desperate Gu Master
The old woman took off a leather tube about three inches long from the belt hook around her waist and poured out a fat green caterpillar from it.
The green caterpillar was purple all over, wriggling with sharp mouthparts. The black stripes on its body were all horizontal and vertical, running through the whole body. Looking closely at the stripes, they were all wounds. Holding it in your hand made a faint sense of creepiness.
"Master, is this?"
"This is a worm."
Gu Shun had a long time ago, he had some understanding of the insects.
I had heard many stories related to it when I heard stories about secret stories about southern Xinjiang at Yuelai Teahouse.
The Gu insect is a kind of artificially cultivated poisonous insect. It puts at least a dozen or a hundred insects or highly poisonous species together and lets them kill each other. The last one left is the Gu insect.
It is rumored that the southern gang makers usually gathered the Gu insects on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Han calendar and began to refine the Gu. In traditional concepts, the poison gas is the most abundant on this day, and the poisonous substances taken on this day also meant to condense the poisons of the world.
However, since all dynasties have been quite taboo about Gu, there are a lot of stories about using Gu pests to harm people, which casts a mysterious shadow on the insects.
During the previous dynasty, there was a witchcraft disaster that shocked the past and present. The prince and queen of the dynasty were also implicated in the end and died innocently. More than 100,000 people died in the capital due to witchcraft.
Therefore, people want to avoid things related to Gu, and no one dares to make this thing. Later, Gu even became synonymous with the Demon Cult and was tied to the infamous Demon Cult.
But just like a great poison, a great medicine is like a poison. Medical books also record that there are witch doctors in southern Xinjiang who specialize in treating diseases with worms.
Some victims who have been poisoned to the bone marrow and endangered illness have long been helpless in the Central Plains doctors, but these mysterious witch doctors can bring patients back to life with a dose of decoction made by the insect.
Of course Gu Shun didn't believe this, but this just proved that the insects in southern Xinjiang are widely used and are not just harmful things.
This disguise technique of the ancient divine religion was originally obtained from southern Xinjiang.
"In the past, I wanted to change my face and let the Gu worm penetrate the nose and chew on the facial muscles and bones from the inside. The Gu worms can reshape the face shape through the skin.
Because the poison in the body of the Gu worm has a strong paralysis effect, even if the Gu worm is eaten by the flesh and blood, there is no pain at all."
Gu Shun swallowed uneasyly and pretended to be panic: "Master, are you talking about letting this thing enter the skin and chewing the muscles directly? Is this disguise a bit dangerous?"
"Young Master Gu, don't be afraid. The Gu insect is not as evil as the legendary thing. And the method we use is not to let the Gu insect penetrate into the muscles."
The old woman said, and suddenly pinched the purple green caterpillar in her hand. With the surging force, some colorful sticky juice splashed out from the green caterpillar's mouth.
The old woman used her other hand to apply the squeezed juice on her face. Although the juices came from the body of the insect, they not only smelled without any strange smell, but instead had a faint fragrance.
The place where the juice passes by quickly becomes the same color as the skin. After drying up, it is more realistic than the human skin mask, whether it is touching or the appearance.
As the place where the smear was thick and thin, the old woman's face began to change.
"What does Mr. Gu look at? Is it completely different from what I just now?"
The old woman used the squeezed juice to apply it on her face a few times, and it seemed like she had changed her face.
"Master, why is this Gu insect so magical? My disciple also wants to learn to refine Gu, so I would like to ask Master to teach me."
The old woman explained: "Mr. Gu, the steps for making Gu are complicated and too mysterious. Moreover, the mansion lacks the necessary tools. When the shopkeeper Gu comes back in the future, we will teach you how to learn Gu when he goes out to practice martial arts."
"The Gu Mansion has many people and many knowledgeable people from the escort agency. They cannot teach the young leader to refine the Gu, otherwise a large number of poisonous insects will easily be suspected of our identity once they appear.
Besides, the young leader is still young and cute, so he can't get in touch with these poisonous substances. If he is not careful and bites the young leader, we will not be able to bear the blame."
Hearing the old woman's words, Gu Shun pretended to be very disappointed and begged: "Master, do you teach me? You can explain the process roughly. I just listen to it, there will be no problem."
The old woman was originally a ruthless person who never gave up until she achieved her goal, but in the face of Gu Shun's begging, her heart softened for some reason. The young leader acted coquettishly to her, which was a terrifying act of her.
She now understands the helplessness of her tutor. Gu Shun has an indescribable affinity that makes people unable to resist his request.
In fact, this is Gu Shun secretly using a hypnotic secret method obtained from his father's secret room, and his words are secretly mixed with a lot of hints and inductions.
Although this suggestion is relatively mild for warriors, the effect will be greatly enhanced if it is for relatives or people who respect each other.
"Since that's the case, I'll briefly talk about the steps of making the Gu insects. But Mr. Gu remembers that you must not try it yourself, and don't tell others about this method of making the Gu. Do you understand?"
"The disciple understands."
"The young leader is so talented. If he teaches him the complete method of making Gu, it will be troublesome if he really makes Gu.
Before he has not had enough ability to control the insect and form resistance to the insect's toxins, he should teach him some simple steps first."
Thinking of this, the old woman explained Gu Shun quite seriously how to cultivate the insect.
"Young Master Gu, when making Gu insects, it pays attention to the right time, place, and people. The weather is noon in the day, when the sun is the most vicious, the yang energy is the heaviest. At this time, the preparation of Gu insects can stimulate the activity of Gu insects to the greatest extent, and the effect of the Gu insects being cultivated is also the best."
"The poison of the Gu at noon is the smallest toxin and is the easiest to control. Every half hour of the noon is deflected back and forth, the toxin of the Gu insect will be stronger. If the Gu is refined at midnight in the new moon, its yin energy will be extremely strong, the toxin is the strongest, and the Gu insect is the most cruel and difficult to control.
If you encounter astrological signs such as Blood Moon and Evil Moon, you may have something undesirable."
"Prepare a large jar that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. If there is no jar, you can use a long-necked bottle or elephant trunk bottle.
After preparing the container, you will go to the wild to catch crawlers and poisons, common ones such as snakes, centipedes, scorpions, mantis, eels, toads, broken-winged wasps, etc. Only one poison is allowed, either large or small, and put them in the tank at noon."
"It is best to use clay tanks and ceramic tanks. Vessels such as porcelain bottles are too slippery and the space is small, so there are not many insects that can be put in. The narrow area will speed up their fighting, resulting in a significant decrease in the quality of insects."
"Generally, the number of days of cultivation of Gu worms is calculated based on twice the number of Gu worms. If fifteen poisonous substances are put in, they usually have to wait for more than 30 days before forming Gu..."
With the old woman's explanation, coupled with the taboos she thought about and deliberately hidden skills, Gu Shun quickly became familiar with cultivating insects.
Refining the Gu insect is not a skill. Gu Shun originally thought that there would be no reaction when he was practicing on the machine, but what he didn't expect was that just listening to the operation steps roughly, a line of text suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.
Congratulations on unlocking the title: [Jiu Gu Master]
[Jiu Jue Gu Master: You will obtain the inheritance of the lost Dragon Gu and Qilin Gu. At the same time, the various attributes of the Gu insect you have refined will be greatly improved, and you will obtain Gu poison immunity and damage bonus]
Since Gu Shun came to this world, the Sims system she carried with him has not been moved for a long time. This time, the text suddenly appeared, which was a reward title, which surprised Gu Shun very much.
However, when you think back on the previous two simulation experiences, you must have achieved certain mission goals in this simulation world before you can get the reward of achievement or title.
This title is a bit useless to Gu Shun, but having it is better than not.
The old woman explained the method of cultivating insects in a simplified manner. Looking at Gu Shun's puzzled expression, she felt relieved.
She has omitted all the most critical steps. Even if Gu Shun followed her steps and cultivated the insects without missing a single step, she would be considered a ghost.
If you take a step back, even if Gu Shun is crazy about it and is lucky enough to really create a worm, its danger and harm will be greatly reduced.
She didn't believe that just by this, Gu Shun could still refine the insects.
Chapter completed!
