From Jiu Shu's world

......

Early the next morning, when Henry Zhang just woke up, he heard a knock on the door, and he didn’t clean it up. He thought it was my aunt who was worried about coming over, so he went directly to open the door. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, it turned out to be the flower in the sea of ​​flowers yesterday. The girl who was called by Liu Chan as Lan Yatou.

"Lan... Miss Lan, why are you here?"

"Brother Ah Xuan just call me Lan Duo, Aunt Chan calls me to bring you food and wake you up."

Liu Chan stayed with Henry Zhang for a few days and knew that her nephew was tired and worried that he had nothing to eat when he got up early, so she called Lan Duo to deliver breakfast.

Although Lan Duo called Liu Chan her aunt, but according to the sect, she was actually Liu Chan's apprentice. The master was ordered, so naturally he came early in the morning to deliver the food.

It’s just that she didn’t expect to see Henry Zhang’s tired look when he got up early, and Henry Zhang’s inadvertent lethargy made her laugh, and as soon as she made a sound, she remembered that Henry Zhang was still there, and held back .

Henry Zhang saw it, and smiled helplessly: "Laugh if you want to laugh, I always do this when I get up early, didn't my aunt say it?"

Lan Duo shook her head, she smiled and said: Aunt Chan asked me to bring you breakfast and clothes without saying anything.

"clothing?"

Lan Duo nodded, and said: "It's our Miao family's clothes. Aunt Chan said that since you are studying Gu in the ancestral hall, you are the son of the Miao family. Naturally, you have to wear the Miao family's clothes."

Henry Zhangdao: "Thank you for your hard work."

Henry Zhang hurriedly ate breakfast, changed his clothes, and came to the square again under the leadership of Lan Duo.

When they arrived at the place, Lan Duo said: "Brother Xuan, my mother-in-law told you to go in alone, so I won't go, I'll wait for you here."

Henry Zhang nodded and said: "Landuo, go back first, I don't know how long it will take to get out after I go in."

After Henry Zhang finished speaking, he walked towards the wooden pavilion of the ancestral hall, and when he reached the door, he cupped his hands and said, "Mother-in-law, junior Henry Zhang please see me."

"Come in when little Ah Xuan is here, Chichi is just like that kid Lin Jiu."

Henry Zhang got the invitation, and walked in, his feet creaked on the wooden floor, a long corridor, dim and unclear, he walked forward a few steps, finally saw a glimmer of fire, and walked over.

The place where you can see is a wide ancestral hall. On the front are black or white jars, which are placed on shelves layer by layer, very neat.

The jar is depicted with various totem patterns and strange characters, revealing a mysterious and strange atmosphere.

These jars are bone collection altars, and the bones inside are probably the bones of ancestors. This is a special funeral for ethnic minorities. There is a small incense burner in front of each bone altar, and three burning sticks are lit on the incense burner. incense.

Grandma Longmu has silver hair wrapped in a black turban and a thick black robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon in front of the bone altar.

Seeing Henry Zhang coming in, she smiled kindly, then pointed to the futon opposite her, and said, "Sit down when you come, I don't have that much courtesy, just don't be afraid."

Henry Zhang saluted, then sat down cross-legged on the opposite side, the two faced each other, separated by a sandalwood burner lit with light sandalwood smoke, Grandma Long Mu took the teapot on the side and poured a cup of tea for the two, and then Straight to the point: "Do you know why I insisted on asking you to learn this Gu technique and become the successor of Yue'er Village?"

2 Chapter Sixty

Grandma Long Mu’s question was somewhat beyond Henry Zhang’s expectations. He thought about it, and then said, “Is it because of my mother?”

Grandma Long Mu nodded, and said kindly: "It's because of Xiaomeier. I like that girl very much. She also got into the country very quickly when she learned Gu art. I thought she would take over the position of my elder and guard Yue'er Village. Unexpectedly, your father abducted her."

Speaking of this, Grandma Longmu laughed, if she was not the master, she would be angry, angry that her apprentice ran away, but as her elder, she was happy for Liu Mei's daring and hatred.She said: "You are Xiaomei'er's son, the blood of the Miao family is on the top, mother-in-law, I naturally want to bring you back, and learn everything that Xiaomei'er didn't learn."

After hearing this, Henry Zhang knew that Grandma Longmu was Wu Jiwu, thinking of my aunt and her who had been taking care of her in secret for so many years, and came all the way to find her, he said sincerely: "Thank you, mother-in-law."

When Grandma Long Mu heard Henry Zhang thanking her, she shook her head and said, "Don't thank me first, my child, I still have my own selfishness for asking you to learn art."

Henry Zhang listened for a moment, wondering why Grandma Longmu said that, and asked, "Where did Grandma say that?"

Grandma Long Mu smiled and said, "Didn't you guess something?"

She paused, and without waiting for Henry Zhang to answer, she continued: "I asked you to be the successor of Yueerzhai, but I actually wanted to find a backer for Yueerzhai. If there is anything in the future, there is someone who can be entrusted to,"

Henry Zhang asked: "Mother-in-law, isn't there a little aunt here? There are so many young Gu masters, how could they choose me?"

Grandma Long Mu sighed, and she said: "Little Chan'er is not bad, but after so many years, she has been stuck and can't get in to practice virtual reality. I don't know how long I'll be waiting for her. Not to mention, your little aunt, do you think you can do it?" Don't worry?"

Grandma Long Mu opened the chatter box, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Grandma, I have lived for a long time, and I have seen a lot of things. In this era when the world is reversed, the people suffer, and the heroes compete for hegemony. Besides, let alone our tribes. Not to mention, in this world, the aura is getting thinner, but the weapons of the human race are getting more powerful, and cultivation has declined, and only true geniuses can survive in this troubled world."

Speaking of which, Grandma Longmu looked at Henry Zhang with piercing eyes, and she said: "Maoshan is famous outside, and they can't avoid it in this troubled world. The next generation values ​​you. Although our Yueerzhai is hidden in the mountains, we have to find a way out That’s right. Grandma told you clearly that she wanted you to take good care of the Miao people by passing on the voodoo technique to you, and no matter how bad it was, she would save the Yue’er village, are you willing?”

Henry Zhang also had some guesses when he came here before, but now Grandma Long Mu asked, whether it was because of the Gu method or because Yueerzhai was his mother clan, it was impossible to ignore it, nodded and agreed: "Henry Zhang is willing. "

"Okay, good boy."

Grandma Long Mu nodded with a smile, then she changed the topic and said, "It's fine if you want to, Grandma, I'll start teaching you Gu skills."

Henry Zhangdao: "Thank you mother-in-law."

Now that you have the foundation, the mother-in-law will not talk nonsense with you. Let me ask you, the two kinds of Gu techniques that Xiao Chaner and I used last time, can you see how they are related to your Maoshan Wugu? different?

The last time Grandma Longmu and Uncle Nine agreed on three moves to compete, Liu Chan made a move to combine human and Gu. Although Grandma Longmu didn't go to Uncle Nine's Yizhuang in person, she was able to control the transformation of Gu insects and drive them like herself. , really shocked Henry Zhang, and naturally thought about it and compared it carefully afterwards.

When Grandma Long Mu asked, he said, "Grandma and aunt's Gu skills seem to be more compatible with the Gu, they are closely related, and they focus on cultivation. Maoshan's Wu Gu is more like a mountain beast. Most of the strange beasts like tools are mainly used to assist in the cultivation of Qi."

Grandma Long Mu listened, but shook her head and said: "Practicing Qi and body is a little bit right, but the point of controlling Gu is the opposite. Miao's method of refining Gu is more ruthless than you Think of it as a tool."

As soon as these words came out, Henry Zhang looked surprised. It stands to reason that this voodoo can be united with people, and can be attached to the spirit and voodoo thousands of miles away. How can it work without a mind?

Grandma Long Mu saw Henry Zhang's doubts, and she said: "You guys who refine Gu'er still treat Gu'er as a pet, and those who refine Gu'er in Miao Village are treated as puppets, and their intelligence is not high. Tell it to die and go Die, let it turn into patterns, let it not dare to resist, but it is not as comfortable as your few worms."

Henry Zhang was a little shocked when he heard it. It turned out that the insect spirit was not high, so there was no such thing of mutual understanding, so he really used it as a tool.

He couldn't help asking: "Grandma, then if I learn this Gu method, won't I also cut down the wisdom of my Gu beasts?"

Henry Zhang has something like a black coffin, and Gu worms grow up very fast, especially their spiritual wisdom has not fallen, and they all have children or even higher wisdom. Henry Zhang has been with them for a long time, and if their spiritual wisdom is really wiped out, he is really reluctant.

Grandma Long Mu smiled and said: "That's not necessary, Miao Fa refines Gu and body. At the beginning of cultivation, he uses the secret medicine of essence and blood to refine Gu. Body, strengthen the body, wait until the body is strong, and the blood connection between the body and the voodoo is deepened, before moving on to the next step of cultivation, which is the transformation pattern."

"It is precisely because of the blood essence of these voodoo that they grow slowly, their spiritual intelligence is not high, and most of them can't move on their own like your voodoo."

Grandma Long Mu explained the reason to Henry Zhang. Henry Zhang nodded secretly after listening to it. With ordinary resources, the development of this Gu thing at this stage is naturally easily affected.

"but"

As soon as the explanation was finished, Grandma Longmu came to another turning point, she said: "Although this voodoo can't act alone, it doesn't have that kind of intelligence, but because of this, there is little resistance to the pattern and the spirit, on the contrary, it is easy There are many, as long as you grasp this source, it will be easier to succeed."

Grandma Long Mu said here, looking at Henry Zhangdao: "This is the opposite of you. Your Gu worms are not low in intelligence. When transforming patterns and conjoining spirits, you need to communicate with each other, otherwise it will not be easy."

The connection of minds requires not only surrender, but also the unity of mind between actions. Simply put, if Liu Chan's Green Leaf Snake is contrary to her mind, one wants to hit Uncle Jiu and the other wants to run away, then the move will come out. , I'm afraid the snake pattern will disperse by itself.

After Grandma Long Mu finished talking about these things, she said: "Don't think too much about it, little Ah Xuan. Your voodoo spirit is so high, you just need to cooperate more. On the contrary, you still need to practice a little bit, or else you won't even be able to get rid of it." You can't even do it with a chemical pattern."

As she said that, Grandma Long Mu picked up the empty teacup in front of her, and lightly knocked three times on the edge of the sandalwood stove between the two of them. The voice was clear and echoed in the attic.

After a while, there was a rustling sound from the bone altar frame, and a strange white spider crawled out, which was about the size of a human head. Its forelimbs were not spider legs but a pair of strange claws like crab claws. The pliers crawled down with a golden beetle in their arms, and walked to Grandma Longmu.
