The True Gu Po

Primitive Bon religion is a large and complex primitive religion that worships nature. This is very similar to the ancestral shamanism of the Ma family in the Northeast. It was born in the Neolithic period. Generally speaking, there is not a strict system. Various tribes in the Neolithic period

Dotted all over the place, each tribe worships a different power, just like the five great immortals of the Ma family, fox white, yellow and gray willow. At first, they were the natural beliefs of the five major tribes, but in the Bon religion, they became

It contains various types of beliefs such as bathing benzene, fortune benzene, fortune telling benzene, calendar benzene, and divine benzene.

The ancient city of Mobei should have been built by a tribe that worshiped Gu. It has very similar beliefs and culture to the Miao people. But whether it has any connection with the Jiuli tribe in the Central Plains at the source is not something we can verify now.

It's clear.

However, in a tribe that trains people to become Gu people, and even regards it as a rite of passage, it is not surprising that there is such a thing as a grass hag.

However, there are many kinds of grass hags!

Broadly speaking, female voodoo keepers who can use their bodies to warm and nourish voodoo creatures can be called grass hags. When we met the sorcerers of Taiping Dao, I told Lao Bai and the others this more than once.

Well, in addition to this broad range of grass hags, there is also a more powerful one. This kind of grass hag can be called the ancestor of all grass hags. It is also one of the origins and inventors of many poisonous arts in Miao territory, Yanshi

There are many records on the art of cultivating poisonous insects in Bashu in the mechanism arts, and there is even the technology of using voodoo insects to make mechanism puppets, so I do have some understanding of this.

Bashu is mountainous, the roads to Shu are difficult, foggy and foggy all year round, and there are countless poisonous insects and beasts. In this unique environment, a strange spirit will be bred, which is neither human nor ghost, nor demon nor demon, as if it was born from nature.

Generally, this creature breathes poisonous mist and miasma, feeds on fierce insects and poisonous snakes, and feeds on poisonous weeds and flowers. As a result, its whole body is extremely poisonous, much more powerful than the poisonous birds of ancient times.

Someone in the Han Dynasty witnessed this thing with his own eyes and left records in ancient books, saying that this thing was no more than four or five feet long, with red eyes, skin like green cypress, weak limbs and not good at running. It was called a true Gu.

In the Han Dynasty, one foot was only equal to the current 223 centimeters. In other words, this thing was only one meter tall at most, with red eyes and green skin. Because its limbs were weak, it was not good at hunting, so when it was young, it often stayed in

In the mongoose den, they grow up together with the mongoose cubs.

Meerkat is widespread in the south of China. It can be said to be the natural enemy of snakes. Grass ghosts live in the mongoose dens, waiting for the mongoose to feed themselves.

Meerkats give birth to two to five cubs in a litter. Because there is a bad guest like the real Gu in the house, which robs the food of the other little mongooses, so at most only one cub can survive.

True Gu is not a white-eyed wolf. It does not eat for free. It will swallow its own spiritual energy to nourish the only remaining little mongoose. The two gradually become very close. It can be said that their lives are connected. After growing up together, the little mongoose

He will also become extremely powerful and ferocious, following the real Gu like a servant, serving the real Gu with all his heart, picking poisonous weeds and flowers, and preying on poisonous snakes to feed the real Gu.

When the true Gu truly matures, this thing will be full of evil tricks and will actively seek out a host. It will look at people walking in the mountains, select the girl it likes, confuse the other person to come to it, and make the other person sit cross-legged.

, let the mongoose support him and climb onto the other person's back, and gradually merged with the girl. This is the earliest grass hag, also called the true witch.

After being combined with a grass ghost, the girl's eyes will become scarlet, and there will be red, green, blue and yellow stripes on her belly, arms and back. Her face will be ferocious and terrifying. She can't help but control the poison, and even cast spells in the mountains, and even... is almost as immortal.

body!

This kind of real Gu woman did exist in the past, but now I have not heard that there is such a thing in the Bashu area. It may be related to the destruction of the natural environment. After all, the number of mongooses in the south has been greatly reduced, and the deep mountains and old forests have been almost exploited.

, there are not so many poisons to nourish these things, and over time, the living environment of the real Gu will disappear. If the real Gu disappears, it will be impossible for the real Gu mother to appear. This is equivalent to cutting off the source.

We are not surprised that the Erbaldy mentioned the grass hag, but... what kind of grass hag she is, this is worthy of our attention.

So, a group of people asked the two bald men in unison whether he was a real Gu woman or a Gu cultivator.

The two bald men were frightened by our posture. They jumped far away, blinked their little eyes and said, "What are you doing? Why are you so excited?"

“This is important!!”

I said solemnly: "It even affects whether we people live or die!"

The two bald man blinked and said: "But, I don't understand what you are talking about. What are the real Gu women and the Gu people? It's all a mess. We are called Grass Ghost women and Gu saints. In the tribe, there are only

Only those who have completed the sacred ceremony can become a Gu Saint. This is a very challenging thing. Only the most courageous girls can become a Gu Saint."

As the Gu King, it seems that it doesn't know much about the Gu people who can control it...

I sighed secretly, thought about it, and then asked: "What is going on with this sacred ceremony? Please tell me carefully!"

"I have never experienced this. When the grass ghost woman trained me, she had already become a Gu Saint. She was the most powerful being in the entire tribe. The whole city had to listen to her. She was the leader here..."

Er Baldy said: "So, I don't know much about her appearance. She is a person who likes to talk to herself. When she was training me, she would always talk to me. At that time, I was ignorant, so

I heard about it...

The so-called sacred ceremony seems to be open to all girls in their original tribe. First, a large pit must be dug, and a stone altar similar to a stone mill must be built in the pit. Girls who want to complete the ceremony can

, would sit cross-legged on the stone altar, and then the tribesmen would sprinkle many venomous snakes in the tunnels around the stone altar.

They believe that if the girl gets the curtain from the god, the gods will care about the girl, and the girl will not be bitten to death by the poisonous snake. If she does not get the curtain from the god, the girl will eventually be bitten to death by the snake.

This ritual is very dangerous. At most one person in a hundred people can survive, and the death is extremely miserable. Because it is a voluntary act, few girls will challenge this, so there are very few Gu saints.

, it is only possible for one to appear in tens to hundreds of years, and even...sometimes there will not be a Gu Saint for several generations.

Whenever a Gu Saint appears, he will basically become the leader of the tribe. They firmly believe that the Gu Saint will lead them to the place where the gods live..."

Things... seem to be starting to develop in the direction we are most worried about...

Gu Saint...

"I'm afraid it's really a real Gu. Bringing so many poisonous snakes together is just a trap to attract the mongoose. This is to attract the attention of the real Gu!!"

Brother Yaozi stood up all of a sudden and said through gritted teeth: "What should we do? Who knew we would encounter such a thing? This time we are afraid we will be unlucky. This thing is immortal and cannot be killed at all!
