Chapter 15 Secret Merchant

The method of creating a Gu is to place a hundred insects in a dish so that they can eat each other, and the one that remains is Gu.

——Zheng Qiao's "General Records"

There are several types of Gu poison recorded in the scriptures. People in Guangzhong Mountain made them into ware and stored in utensils. They listened to them eating each other. If one thing exists alone, it is called Gu.

——Yan Yonghe "Jisheng Fang"

——————————————————————————————————

The Sanmiao Sect is a primitive sect rooted in Liangzhou. Eighty percent of believers are Miao people, and the status of believers is from low to high is a believer, wizard, and priest. This sect worships Miao ancestor Panhu as the highest god. It is based on witchcraft and witchcraft. It is known as Tusi Shi. Now the sect of witchcraft has prevailed. The people in the Sanmiao Sect act straightforward and have strange behaviors, and have never developed outside Liangzhou. Therefore, the sect has always been mysterious and mysterious, and even Master Zuo knows very little.

Now he was surrounded by a Sanmiao scholar, who had just made all kinds of inhumane measures on his face. He didn't want to recall the pain of the process. But when he looked at the bronze mirror, he had to sigh that the measure was simply amazing. His face was swollen, his face was purple and red, and his height and shoulder width increased a lot, looking like another person.

"This Gu is called 'Half-face Makeup', which is housed on your face; and the body is planted with the 'Divine Power' Gu. It increases the power attributes by increasing your muscle strength, and can change the body shape by the way." Ling Lianshan touched and pinched, and was very satisfied with his skills.

Tu Shi said with a bitter face: "You mean I have parasites?" He thought of iron worms at the first time, and he had goosebumps!

"Sure enough, this insect can only survive for an hour, and then it will turn into pure protein and be absorbed by your body."

That's it, Tu Shi felt uncomfortable when she thought of insects lurking in her body.

Gu, a folk legend that has been passed down since ancient times, was designed into the game and shines before his eyes. The so-called Gu insects are placed in a sealed container and let them kill each other. The one that survives has toxicity beyond physical common sense. According to different formulas and techniques, different Gu can be made. The climate in Miaojiang is humid and warm, and it is the best breeding ground for poisonous insects to breed, which naturally becomes the birthplace of Gu making. Miao women are good at making Gu, and those who master this technique are called "Cao Guiwo" or "Guwo".

The nausea of ​​the Gu insect, but the effect is real. Tianmimi mastered the [disguise technique], and her general disguise can't be hidden from her at all. Even if Tu Shi's face is swollen, her figure cannot be faked and she will still be seen through by Tianmimi at a glance. The principles of the Gu poison disguise and the Central Plains disguise technique are different. It can adjust muscles and bones, and can definitely hide from Tianmimi.

He pinched his face nervously (as if millions of small needles of cow hair were tickle), Tu Shi asked again: "When did you change your clothes? It wasn't when I just closed my eyes, right?"

"I won't tell you!" Ling Menglanshan smiled.

She wore a rainbow-colored long skirt, and large and small color blocks piled up amazing layers on the skirt, but because of the proper arrangement, she did not look messy, nor would she overshadow the beauty of the witch. Not only did she change her clothes, she also tied her hair, wore jewelry, earrings, hairpins, and bracelets. If she lowered her eyebrows and looked, anyone would think she was a lady from the Han family. She was no longer the natural and straightforward witch in the forest, but a bright and beautiful woman.

After the two changed their faces, they went into the city separately. The process went smoothly. Tu Shi also found that there were a large number of players behind the city gate, which must be a sweet back-up. After entering the city, the two met in a house that had agreed in advance (the door of the house was engraved with a twisting triangle with each side, which was a unique symbol used for communication among the Sanmiao scholars). This house is one of the contact points of the Sanmiao scholar. It is said that there are one or two in each city in Liangzhou, with food, water, bedding and bedding in memory. The preparation is thorough, so people can't help but suspect that the Sanmiao scholar has ulterior motives.

The outside of the house is no different from the Han architecture, but the secret room has a different style. On both walls are hung with cow skulls and dried mugwort, as well as colorful and wild masks with rough style; while on the wall facing the door is hung with a Miao cloth painting with exquisite patterns and meticulous workmanship. Five types of poisonous insects are embroidered with five colored silk threads. The heads of the poisonous insects are all facing the golden twisted triangle symbols towards the center, which are like insect baits that tend to be delicious. A low table and several bamboo mats are arranged in a simple and charming way.

"Thank you for letting me hide here." Tu Shi crossed his legs and held the oil tea (a unique drink for the Miao people), and said to Ying Kunlanshan sincerely. He is not Miao people, but he can enter this room. It can only be said that Ying Kunlanshan has a great face. The question is: What is Ying Kunlanshan's identity? He can actually open the back door for the Han people?

"It's okay." Ying Kunlanshan turned her head and said to the owner, who is also a Miao person, "Tell me all the recent movements of the royal palace."

Prince Bo, a prince who is very good at enjoying life, often participates in large-scale Miao people activities in various parts of Liangzhou in order to promote the integration of Han and Miao people. It can be regarded as a friendly link between Han and Miao people. For some reason, he has never appeared recently. Because he had a history of being unacceptable to the local environment, it is rumored that he is in a ill state and has been resting in the mansion. People from the Tang Sect were invited by the prince as guests of honor. In recent months, Tang Sect members have been in and out of the palace.

Drinking the fragrant oil tea, Tu Shi carefully weighed the gains and losses. Since the Tang Sect has something to do with the royal palace, he is destined to compete with Tianmimi. How likely can he win? If... although it is not good to think so, if Ling Kunlanshan is willing to help him?

"There are fifteen members of the Tang sect, five of whom are martial artists, and the rest are intermediate warriors. These are all openly, and there are probably even stronger players in secret."

Tu Shi once dealt with a monster and fought very hard (at that time, several backbones of the Xuanyuan family were defeated one after another, which can prove the monster's strength from the side). The martial artist - a senior warrior - is even more powerful than the monster. There are five such a tricky figure in one breath, which shows how great the risk of this operation is. You must know that the royal palace's own defense power has not been included yet!

Ling Kun Lanshan couldn't help but open her mouth: "Five high-level warriors! Is Prince Bo so important? The Tang Sect is already a dog raised by the imperial court?"

"Sir, the elder said, everything is up to you." The Miao people knelt on the ground, respectfully.

"Can we get five priests?"

"Only three people are present."

"Forget it, that's it! Let them gather here within two days."

"yes!"

The Miao people retreated. Tu Shi came to his senses and quickly grabbed Ling Qianlanshan's arm: "Are you crazy?!"

"It hurts so much! You're hurting!" Ying Kunlanshan shouted.

"I'm very happy if you want to help me, but the other party is too strong, and you will lose a lot of people!" Tu Shi relaxed his strength a little, but his attitude was still tough. Think about it, a monster in his early 35th level is enough to kill the Xuanyuan Gang without leaving any armor. How much damage can the five martial artists cause?

"It's not crazy. The other party has five martial artists, three of us priests, plus you, Ah Ying, five to five, we are not at a loss. In addition, don't touch other people's bodies casually, be careful of being raped."

Tu Shi pulled her hand back like lightning, and was about to check her physical condition, but Lingkong Lanshan laughed so hard that she trembled: "Hahaha, Ah, you are so funny! You are afraid of being plotted against, you are already afraid of neurasthenia, hahaha! You are so stupid!"

"Hey!!! I'll talk to you seriously!"

After finally stopping laughing, Ling Lianshan clasped her palms together, and her thin fingers moved: "I am also considered the decision-maker of Sanmiao Sect. Although you are the type that Ah Ying likes, Ah Ying still knows the importance of it. It is impossible for you to ruin the entire organization for you. Maybe you don't know, in fact, it's already a storm between my Sect and the Tang Sect."

Both the Sanmiao Sect and the Tang Sect are good at poisoning. The difference is that the former is good at poisoning, which is essentially a biological agent extracted from animals. The process is rough, while the latter is good at combining poisoning with plants and minerals. The process is mature and perfect. The two sides' systems are completely different, so the well water does not interfere with the river water. Until many years ago, the Tang Sect began to study the Gu. How to compare the seriousness of this matter? Just like Tu Shi secretly learning the Wing Chun Biao Sect, it is a taboo in the martial arts world. However, the Sanmiao Sect is a Miao sect and has nothing to do with the Central Plains martial arts world, so the Tang Sect's move was not criticized.

"It was many years ago..." Tu Shi was puzzled. The Tang Sect's poison skills were unparalleled in the world, so why did he still get involved in the Sanmiao Sect?

"Have you heard of the rebellion in the Seven Kings Palace? At that time, the Tang Sect took the opportunity to take action."

Ah, it is the Seven Kings Palace again. Its influence is really everywhere. No wonder Master Zuo is thinking about his former glory.

Ling Qianlanshan said again: "We infer that Prince Bo is sick or poisoned, and the Tang Sect is responsible for the treatment. In other words, the Tang Sect may have been with the Han court. The Tang Sect has achieved results in research on gu poison. Tianmimi once used highly toxic based on gu techniques. If this technique does not spread to Liangzhou, we can turn a blind eye, but if it is allowed to spread to Yongzhou..."

Tu Shi noticed that the witch's eyes suddenly became cold and her heart suddenly became a furious.

"Then the Sanmiao teaching will be finished."

"Uh, is it that serious? At most, the court has just taken a beware of yours-"

"You are so naive, Yu Qingfeng." Ling Kunlanshan tilted her head and chuckled, expressing her sneer: "Everything in this world, everyone is connected with each other, and there is no isolation. You only see that the imperial court has mastered the poison. Have you ever thought that the first person who masters the poison is human, and humans are the most elusive."

The decision-maker of the Sanmiao Sect reached out and pointed to the window covered with bamboo curtains: "How long have you been playing this game? Do you still not see how serious the situation is? With internal and external troubles, many forces are preparing to end the game. If there is a noble person in the palace or court suddenly dies, it is not surprising, right? But if that noble person died from the legendary poison of "no external stories", wouldn't our Sanmiao Sect become a victim of politics in vain? The Tang Sect can't destroy us, but what about the court?"

Tu Shi was speechless when asked, feeling that she was not playing the same game as others.
