This bamboo house is not as green as imagined, but a shiny brown-purple color.
The house was covered with a piece of hay, but on the short ladder leading into the house were twelve human skulls.
I didn't say anything.
Instead, Gu Xinlie climbed up the short ladder first, followed by Wang Jianggan, and I followed behind.
The bamboo house was also filled with darkness.
There were bottles and jars piled around, the jars were filled with unknown substances, and some jars were filled with unspeakable insects.
The whole room was filled with a smell.
Smells of herbs.
"Is anyone there?"
I shouted.
At this time, a black shadow came down from the attic on the roof and said in extremely standard Mandarin: "Who are you looking for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of us looked at each other.
Didn't it mean that Miao Wu were in their hometown from birth to death?
Why does this Miao Wu speak Mandarin so well?
But when this Miao Wu stood in front of us, we were even more surprised.
She was dressed in a black Miao coat, with a black turban on her head, beautiful silver snake-shaped earrings hanging on her ears, and a silver ring the size of a fingernail hanging under her lips.
This Miao Wu looks like she is only in her twenties.
Her complexion is fairer than snow, her nose is bright and her eyes are bright.
She looks like a great beauty.
This scared the three of us.
In my mind, Miao Wu has always been an image of sixty or seventy years old, as old as a skeleton.
Now the appearance of this beauty almost overturned my life.
I blinked and couldn't say a word.
Gu Xinlie, on the other hand, was slightly surprised and then calmed down and said, "Can you remove the poison?"
The Miao Wu glanced at Gu Xinlie, nodded and said, "Yes."
When I heard this, my eyes widened and I quickly asked her: "Can the soul-possessing Gu be solved?"
I stared into her eyes and spoke urgently.
The beautiful woman Miao Wu smiled and said nothing.
She just waved her hand and motioned for us to sit down and talk.
I knew it was useless to be anxious, so I nodded and sat down.
After a brief discussion, I found out that there are no Gu women over the age of 40 among Miao witches.
Generally speaking, when a Gu woman is forty years old, she will find a girl under the age of ten to teach her Gu skills.
After the age of forty, a person's mind, body, or five senses will decline significantly, and Gu Po is no exception.
A significant decline in the five senses and spirit means that it is no longer possible to control poison.
That's why we can see such a young Miao Wu.
No, to be precise, we can't see a Miao Wu who is too old.
But what shocked me the most was her name, Chi You Sanqian.
Because the Miao people are descendants of Chi You, some people still retain the surnames of their ancestors, such as Mengni and Giekan.
And Chi You Sanqian is the direct descendant of Chi You.
I heard her say that if you count hundreds or thousands of generations up to the top, you can count to Chi You.
I don't know if it is true or not, but this surname is somewhat tiger-like.
"Do you have a way to solve this soul-possessing Gu?"
After all, this matter was the first problem I had to solve, so I asked without politeness.
"First of all, let me tell you that the soul-possessing Gu is not a Gu in the traditional sense.
Secondly, I can solve it, but I can't solve yours."

Chi You Sanqian looked into my eyes and said word by word.
"Why?"
I slapped the table and stood up, veins popping up on my forehead.
Of course I know that this soul-possessing Gu is not a Gu in the traditional sense.
Zuo Zhuan wrote in the middle of the reign of Emperor Zhao: "Flying grains are also Gu."
This means that if there is too much accumulation of millet, flying insects will be born.
This kind of flying insect is the most traditional Gu.
But this kind of flying insect is not poisonous and is not the later Gu insect.
But she can obviously solve the soul-possessing Gu, so why does she say she can’t solve mine?
"Do you know how long that soul-possessing poison has been in your stomach for more than twenty years?
Rather than how you ate this poison, I want to know why you can survive."
Chi You Sanqian couldn't even look at it.
He didn't look at me, and there was a layer of long and thick eyelashes on his lowered eyes.
From my perspective, it looks more like ridicule.
"More than twenty years."
Gu Xinlie's eyelids trembled and he turned to look at me.
And I was so shocked that I couldn’t even speak.
I had been possessed by someone for more than 20 years.
I don't know who has such a big hatred against me and the Lin family, and would risk his life to inflict such a vicious poison on me.
"Actually, it's not that there is no way to solve it.
It's just that" Chi You Sanqian picked up a piece of paper on the table and revealed his white wrist, with more than a dozen silver bracelets hanging on it.
The Miao people love silver, and basically the woman can wear it.
Down a few pounds.
"It's just what?"
I asked quickly when I heard that things were turning around.
I could feel a layer of sweat on the tip of my nose, and my whole back was soaked.
I didn't expect that I would be so afraid of death.
"You are going to rob King Yan's tomb, right?"
Chi You Sanqian smiled calmly and glanced at the three of us.
Gu Xinlie frowned, but didn't say anything.
Wang Jiangqian and I naturally kept silent.
Since people can tell, they must have seen something.
In short, they can't be deceived.
"You don't have to hide it from me.
Six out of ten people who came to Yunnan came to steal the tomb of King Yan.
You can understand it if you look carefully.
This soul-possessing Gu is not impossible to solve, but I have a condition, that You just want to take me down with you."
Chi You Sanqian smiled charmingly and stared at the three of us with a pair of enchanting eyes.
"I don't know what will happen in this tomb.
If something happens, I will be buried with you if you die."
I sneered.
I don't know why she followed us down, but judging from her appearance, she shouldn't be.
It's for money.
"Whatever you want, just say it, and we'll get it back for you."
Gu Xinlie said coldly, holding the knife in his hand, with a tone that would not allow anyone to refuse.

"No, first of all, I must see that thing at first sight.
Secondly, undoing the soul poison also requires a certain medicinal material, and this medicinal material is only found in the tomb of King Yan.
If you don't know how to pick it, you will ruin the big thing."
Chi You Three Thousand He shook his head and then looked at me: "If you feel confident, I don't care whether he lives or lives."
"Okay, I promise you, we will set off during the day tomorrow."
Before I could say anything, Gu Xinlie agreed simply and neatly, which made me feel warm in my heart.
Wang Jiangqian also laughed twice.
That night, we stayed at Chi You Sanqian’s house.
Although her bamboo house was not too big, it was not too crowded for three people.
In order not to make a fool of myself tomorrow, I reviewed the Night Talk of Hundred Ghosts with my grandfather again overnight.
Notes left behind.
During this period, I also heard many strange and strange things about Gu from Chi You Sanqian's mouth.
It's quite interesting to think about.
Gu is a kind of witchcraft.
It is the most popular in the Miao area of Yunnan, and it is also the most magical and famous.
It is said that if you are infected by the poison, you must obey the orders of the poisoner and return to Miao territory regularly to take special anti-poison medicine to extend your life for one year.
This happens every year until death.
Unless the poisoner is willing to help you remove the poison, you can get rid of the poison.
In Miao territory, only Miao girls can release poison.
Some local Miao people have only heard about poisoning, and most of them have never seen it with their own eyes.
The most rumored is the Savage Mountain on the border.
The terrain there is difficult and the mountains are numerous.
The people on the mountain have very little contact with the outside world, so many weird stories have sprung up there.
According to legend, there was a poor Miao young man who wandered around looking for work rather than stay at home and live a hard life.
There was a bad harvest in the farmland that year, so few people hired workers.
One day, he came to Savage Mountain on the border and stayed with a family.
This man had a beautiful daughter in his family.
She liked him for his honesty and honesty, so she took him as his wife and stayed in the mountains to work.
Every day, young people go to work in the fields, while women knit at home.
The relationship between the young couple is very good.
Several years passed like this, and the young people gradually forgot about their hometown.
One day, when the young man was working in the fields, an old monk happened to pass by.
He raised his head and said hello to the old monk, then lowered his head and continued working.
The old monk looked at him in surprise, stepped forward and said, "Young man, with all due respect, have you encountered anything bad?"
The young man replied no.
But the old monk said reluctantly: "No, I can tell by looking at your face whether you live in this mountain."
The young man told the old monk that he had left home and settled here.
The old monk nodded and said: "I have something to tell you, but you must stay calm, otherwise you will be killed.
Your wife is weird.
If you don't believe it, you can pretend to be asleep tonight and peek at your wife.
What are you doing?
I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning."
Although the young man didn't quite believe what the monk said, he still decided to take a peek at what his wife would do.
Late at night, my wife seemed to be asleep.
When the young man was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly heard his wife calling his name softly.

He pretended to be asleep and did not answer, so his wife sat up and quietly got out of bed.
The young man opened his eyes and secretly peeked at his wife.
I just saw my wife sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair and eyebrows, after she was fully dressed.
Without moving his feet or shaking his body, he flew out of the window.
The young man quickly got up and took a look outside the window.
He was frightened to death.
It turned out that there was a big banyan tree in the open space outside.
There were dozens of heads flying around the tree, and the eyes on the heads glowed green in the darkness.
The young man fell back on the bed and stayed up all night because of fear.
It was almost dawn when my wife flew back again.
Early the next morning, the young man heard his wife walking outside, and soon he heard the sound of her chopping vegetables and cooking.
When his wife came and asked him to have breakfast, he hurriedly said that he was not hungry and ran to the field quickly.
When he saw the monk, he knelt down and knelt down to ask him for help.
The monk said: "I can't save you, but if you want to leave here temporarily, I have a way.
Just say that you miss your parents and want to return to your hometown for a while.
She will definitely agree, but she will stay with you Agree on a time limit for returning home.
When the time limit is up, you must come back, otherwise your life will be at risk. " The young man had no choice but to do this.
After returning home, he begged his wife to let him return to his hometown to visit his parents.
The Miao girl didn't agree at first, but she couldn't bear his repeated requests and guarantees, so she agreed to let him go home.
Then, the appointment is limited to one year, and you must come back within one year.
Before leaving, Miao Nu gave him a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and then left with tears in her eyes.
When the young man returned to his parents' home, time flew by.
One year was almost here, and his parents urged their son to leave as soon as possible.
The young man thought that he might never see him again in this life, so he was reluctant to leave until the deadline was approaching, and then he hurriedly set off.
When they arrived at the foot of Savage Mountain, they suddenly heard thunder, and then a violent storm came, so the young man had to take shelter at the foot of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the rain became heavier and heavier, causing flash floods.
The way out was blocked, and he was very anxious.
When the rain stopped, we continued on our way desperately, climbing mountains and wading in rivers.
The young man was walking when he suddenly felt an unbearable cramping pain in his abdomen, and his limbs gradually swelled.
As he approached the village and approached his home, he finally collapsed and died in pain.
At this time, Miao Nu was also waiting anxiously at home.
She poisoned her husband.
Seeing that the time was approaching, she took the antidote and went out to visit, but what she saw was her husband's body.
Although she was sad, she felt comforted and glad that her husband had not let her down.
So he took out the poison and committed suicide by taking it next to her husband.
This is the earliest legend about poison.
Although I found it interesting, I was even more confused.
According to legend and research from various sources, people who have been poisoned must be detoxified once a year to save their lives.
So why am I still alive after being poisoned for more than 20 years?
