After throwing the poisonous snake into the pottery jar, the old woman leaned over and took something out of the big bamboo basket.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a red spider the size of a palm.

Seeing this, there were screams and discussions in the crowd again.

The old woman still threw the spider into the pottery jar at will, and then leaned over and leaned into the big bamboo basket.

This time, what she took out was a green centipede with an arm length.

"Bang!"

The centipede was also thrown into the pottery jar.

And then.

Toad with a bowl of mouth.

Black and white markings of scorpion.

Earthworms with colorful rings.

......

Every time the old woman bent over and leaned into the big bamboo basket, she would take out a common but uncommon poisonous insect from it.

It is said that common is that the poisonous insects taken out by the old woman are all visible in life, such as snakes, spiders, scorpions, etc.

It is not common because these poisonous insects are somewhat different from those common in life.

Snow white poisonous snake, spider with palms, caterpillars with horns...

How many people have seen these strange creatures in their daily life?

At this time, the discussion in the crowd had become much smaller, and the screams made by the girl were frightened became weaker.

It’s not that people are no longer surprised, but that they are already a little used to it.

All the poisonous insects taken out of the bamboo basket were strangely shaped and rare.

After the initial shock, many people no longer feel fear in their hearts, and replaced by novelty and fun.

Many people even guessed in their hearts what the old woman would take out of the bamboo basket next time?!

Under the gaze of everyone, the old man calmly took out the poisonous insects from the bamboo basket and threw them into the pottery jar at will.

When a mantis with blood-red eyes was thrown into the pottery jar by the old woman, she finally stopped her previous repetition.

“Is this over?”

"Well, that's all."

"There are twelve kinds of poisonous insects in total?"

"Hey~ I really don't know where they found these strange poisonous insects. I haven't even seen one of them."

"Who is not the same? I have never seen these things before!"

As everyone was talking, the old woman turned around and took out a piece of kraft paper from the bamboo basket, and then sealed the mouth of the pottery jar.

After tied the kraft paper at the mouth of the jar with hemp rope, the old woman took out a piece of palm-sized piece of yellow paper covered with dark red and complex patterns and pasted it on it.

As soon as the yellow paper was pasted, a burst of noise suddenly came from the pottery jar.

"Dang~dang~dang!"

With the muffled sound, the onlookers were surprised to find that the half-person-high pottery tank began to shake slightly, which showed the fierce battle in the tank.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers all looked at the old woman again.

But.

However, they found that the old woman not only had no intention of stepping forward, but instead took a slightly back two steps.

"Um?"

While the onlookers were wondering, they suddenly saw two young men wearing traditional Miaojiang costumes walking out of the crowd.

The two young men came straight to the pit. They picked up the pottery jar beside them and put it directly into the pit, and then began to fill the pit.

Soon, the pit on the ground was filled with two young people, and the pottery jar containing poisonous insects completely disappeared into everyone's eyes.

After doing all this, the old woman and the two young men squeezed out of the crowd and left with bamboo baskets, bamboo chairs and other items.

From beginning to end, none of these people said a word.

"Is this over?"

"Are they acting or are they really making a Gu?"

"Why should I come out and explain it to us, please?"

There were bursts of discussion in the crowd.

pity.

The three of them seemed to have not heard everyone's voices and walked straight into the Sangma Village not far away.

At this time, the main owner had left, and the onlookers gradually dispersed. Some people walked back to their residence, while the remaining people walked towards the Sangma Village in front of them.

"Brother Jiang Chen, there is no fun here, where are we going?"

"Don't you want to go to the village to take a look? Then let's go there!"

"good!"

After the words were finished, Jiang Chen and Chen Juxing walked towards Sangma Village with excited faces.

"Brother Jiang Chen, do you think the old man was performing just now? Or was he really making a Gu?" Chen Juxing suddenly asked.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and asked back, "What do you think?"

"I think she is really making a Gu!" Chen Juxing said with a certain tone, "It must be rare to see those strange things. If it is acting, they won't have to find these things!"

Jiang Chen has to admit that Chen Juxing’s analysis also makes some sense.

"Brother Jixing, since you want to learn Gu making, how much do you know about Gu Master?"

"Uh... I knew that Gu Master mainly relies on Guizhi, and I don't know anything else!"

"Do you know how many kinds of Gu are there?"

"What? Are there different types of Gu? Isn't there only one Gu?" Chen Juxing's eyes widened.

Jiang Chen: "........."

Jiang Chen was increasingly impressed by Chen Juxing, and shook his head helplessly and explained.

"In fact, there are many kinds of Gu, such as Golden Silkworm Gu, Bamboo Gu, Zhongji God, Swelling Gu, Epileptic Gu, Yin Snake Gu, etc."

“So many kinds???”

After listening to Jiang Chen’s story, Chen Juxing was stunned. He seemed to have thought a lot of things too simply before!

Jiang Chen looked at Chen Juxing with a confused look and said with a smile.

"Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month, when the poisonous gas is at its peak, people who refiners will find twelve poisonous insects that contain highly toxic.

After burning incense and praying, they would place all the poisonous insects they found in a pottery jar with a large belly and a small mouth, and then buried them deep underground at the intersection.

Only after the pottery jar is buried deep underground for 49 days, will the gu refiner be able to get out of the pottery jar again.

After 49 days of continuous biting, there will be only one poisonous insect left in the pottery jar.

The gu refiner brought the remaining poisonous insect in the pottery jar back and placed it in the breathable incense burner, burning incense every day, and offering it with secret techniques during this period.

Only in this way can one more year be used to refine the so-called golden silkworm Gu!”

After listening to Jiang Chen's explanation, Chen Juxing opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then suddenly turned around and looked at the place where they were watching before.

That's right.

There is indeed a crossroads there!

“It’s a crossroads.”

"But......"

“It’s not the fifth day of the fifth month now?”

Chen Juxing looked at Jiang Chen with confusion on his face. When he saw the smiley expression on Jiang Chen's face, he quickly reacted.

"You mean, the old man just now was not a Gu master at all. She was just acting, and she wasn't really making Gu at all?"

Jiang Chen smiled without objection and replied.

"It's right, not right."

"Acting is indeed acting, but she is not necessarily a fake Gu master!"

Chen Juxing was completely confused by Jiang Chen. He wanted to ask, but found that Jiang Chen had already walked forward.

"Brother Jiang Chen, wait for me!"

Chen Juxing quickly caught up with Jiang Chen and stared at Jiang Chen with a scrutiny face.

"Brother Jiang Chen, how did you know this?"

Jiang Chen smiled and looked at Chen Juxing, saying casually.

"Because...I'm just a warlock!"
