Chapter Seventeen: The Latrine Pit Treats Gu Poison

  Every time the King of Wan Gu eats his fill and jumps onto the round platform to escape, the upper and lower platforms will be connected, squeezing out the infant juice from its stomach bag, flowing along the groove to the bottom of the round platform, where there is a wine cup to hold it. When the four pythons rotate, this wine cup will be lifted up and come out from the circular hole at the root of the four pythons.

  It was originally like this. Therefore, the Taoist has only four words for this thing: unable to do anything. Because it has exceeded the scope of Taoism, but is closely related to Taoism.

  All I can say is that our Chinese nation's culture is really profound and extensive.

  After such a toss, even the king of ten thousand poisons is on his last breath. Let him live or die on his own then.

  The problem here has been solved. But why this place had such a layout, nobody knows.

  And don't forget, this is Myanmar.

  After a while, the light gradually brightened, and the original staircase reappeared.

  It wasn't until now that I realized the King of Ten Thousand Insects was something that couldn't be seen in the light.

  Following the stairs and continuing to climb up, the stairs were indeed movable, this was a mechanism setting, such a design, it was really my first time seeing it in my life.

  Seeing the dazzling light, my eyes couldn't stand it for a moment, and I instinctively covered them with my hand.

  "That wasn't the stumbling block that tripped me up." I was startled.

  This stone is very ordinary and looks no different from a common stone, but it has a triangular shape and is inserted upside down into the ground. There are many of these things here.

  It suddenly dawned on me, how come there are so many Gu worms trying to take our lives all at once.

  This is an unorthodox study in Feng Shui, which belongs to the category of Guan Gong Xue. (This term was made up by me and nobody knows what it's really called, but there are people who specialize in this.)

  This is called a "zhēng líng zhèn" or more commonly known as a "zhēng líng formation".

  I'll recite the content of this chapter for you and you'll know.

  The three-edged stone, also greatly conceals the air for it. The Taoist method sets up obstacles, and one must open the air outlet to make the air veins connect. With the three-edged (stone) concealed, if the three-edged (stone) changes, the air outlet follows suit, and issues forth in advance.

  Three-pronged stone, many are hidden with air mouth and used. Set obstacles, must open an air mouth, then use three-pronged stone to hide it, if the three-pronged stone is lost, the air mouth will also be opened, triggering a warning.

  The Gu worms originally existed in the Gu Dao, and these air mouths connecting the Gu Dao opened. These things will come with a smell.

  The biggest secret is now in that house. If you know what this array of eyes is, it will be easy to understand.

  Jiucheng and I were both severely injured, this monster's venom was too potent, our skin gradually began to fester.

  "Master, what's going on with this 'King of Stench' you mentioned? What should we do now? Just look at how rotten it's become in just a short while." Nine out of ten times I've just finished treating the stinky corpse, and now this happens again.

  What about me? I'm still young, and I haven't even married a wife yet. Now I have to devote myself to a foreign land, just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

  What's going on here? Even if it was pinched by the King of Ten Thousand Insects, there's no mention of what can cure it.

  Treat a dead horse as if it were alive, just like a zombie bite. Take the glutinous rice from the supplies and stick it on firmly, "Damn, not even a bit of reaction, looks like this is completely useless."

  If it doesn't stop, I won't make it till tomorrow. I reckon nine out of ten chances are that I'll be done for by then, and no one will come to collect me until a week later. Am I supposed to just wait?

  Thinking of this, I suddenly feel that life was so good in the past, now I'm messing around and getting myself killed.

  The village was desolate and uninhabited. "Huh, wasn't there supposed to be a woman?" I glanced at Jiucheng, whose wound didn't hurt at all, but was slowly rotting away.

  As we were walking towards the woman's house, supporting each other, we heard a hoarse voice: "You've come."

  "Come in." Another hoarse voice came from the house. I and Jiucheng walked in, this house had an indescribable smell, after entering, what we saw was a dog, the dog was listless, its fur almost all fallen off, facing south was an open door, half covered with a curtain, a woman stood with her back to me and Jiucheng.

  "Do you speak Chinese?" I was surprised that a Burmese woman could speak Chinese, now I know that this village is actually a Chinese village.

  The house really stinks, making people not want to stay for a moment. I and Jiucheng covered our noses with our hands.

  "Are you young people from China?" The woman asked, ninety percent of the people gathered around, "This woman's brain is not a problem."

  "Let's see first."

  "You can come out from the backyard of this Li family's compound, it's really a miracle, haha, it seems that I have waited for so many years and finally got what I wanted."

  I suddenly felt that this woman was not simple, either to avenge or to repay kindness, I don't know what she's up to. "This woman is so weird, what does she want to do?" Jiucheng leaned against me.

  "Let's see."

  The master of this house was originally a high-ranking official in the Qing court, and his status in the imperial court was not particularly prominent, but he could still converse with the emperor.

  At that time, the Qing government collapsed immediately, and he brought a batch of treasures to build this house. There were originally many people here, with more than a dozen maids and servants. The village was also very lively, with hundreds of mouths in the whole village.

  That year, the yin-yang person called someone to build a backyard, no one knew why he built a backyard, and he was always mysterious, never spreading it out. Once someone leaked the secret, they would be killed without exception.

  Since its completion, the backyard has been locked with a large lock, and no one is allowed to enter. Those who built it at the beginning were not craftsmen, but mostly monks and Taoist priests, but none of them came out alive.

  This yin-yang person goes into the backyard alone once a month, nobody knows what he does.

  After that, Yin Yang's changes became more and more abnormal. His body grew stronger and stronger, and in the morning, he could even get an erection. It was as if he wasn't himself anymore.

  He actually managed to marry a second wife, a yin-yang person marrying a daughter-in-law to alleviate loneliness, which can be understood, but if he wants to marry a second wife, it's really weird.

  There were several servants in the house who couldn't bear the loneliness, and didn't know what treasure was hidden in the backyard that could make the old master change so much. They quietly snuck in, but one by one they disappeared silently and without a sound.

  From then on, the village kept hearing about people's babies and young women going missing, causing everyone to be terrified. Most people moved away, and gradually, the village also began to become desolate.

  Soon after, he really married a beautiful young girl, and even more bizarre things happened, the second wife became pregnant.

  This yin-yang person is like having eaten bee droppings, and then putting on a grand nine-day banquet.

  But unfortunately, something unexpected happened when the second lady and her maid went out for a ride in their carriage.

  The horse suddenly panicked and rushed down the cliff. In an instant, it was smashed to pieces, and even a complete corpse could not be found.

  From that day on, he was indeed depressed for a long time, but he continued to make arrangements to marry his wife, and still wanted her to be young and beautiful.

  Heaven doesn't cater to human wishes, this guy wants to defy heaven, so heaven simply took him away ahead of time.

  That day he came out of the backyard and fell into a long sleep. Many doctors treated him, but none could find what was wrong with him.

  After a few days, perhaps due to reflection, this yin-yang person woke up and repeatedly warned not to let anyone enter the backyard.

  He heard that before he died, he was in extreme pain, his whole body rotted, and yellow pus oozed out of his skin. The woman couldn't bear to see her husband die like this, so she used a handkerchief to wipe away the yellow pus, but unexpectedly she also got infected, and from then on, her body gradually began to rot as well.

  Isn't this yellow water the same as the yellow water on Jiu Cheng's body and mine?

  Jiucheng exclaimed and burst into tears, "Master, I don't want to die like this."

  "Shut up and listen to her."

  Several months after his death, strange things happened again. The maids were all abnormal and unpaid, some slept for several days without getting up, some became thin as a skeleton in a few days, some fell ill inexplicably, and once they fell ill, they would spit white foam, their limbs would stiffen, and eventually they all died.

  And since then, the animals in this yard have not lived long. Many horses and cows were raised in the feeding room. The horses were often frightened, and the cows would often bellow. In just a few days, they would mysteriously die.

  "How did you know?"

  "Hahaha, you ask me how I knew, I was a servant here back then." The old woman gave me even more mysterious colors.

  "This formation has harmed countless women and children, created endless evil, and every night, countless spirits weep. I will wait for the day when this scourge is gone."

  Due to a series of unexpected events, I became the protagonist.

  "That year, my father was among those who participated in the repair of the temple. After that, my father disappeared. The Li family compensated us with money and built a house for us. In order to investigate the cause, I came to the Li's house as a maid at the age of 14."

  "It's not safe here, in order to avoid another accident, they dispersed all the villagers. I had to pretend to be crazy and stupid just to stay."

  So that's how it is.

  But what can we do with these injuries?

  "Two brothers, your injuries are too severe, hurry up and bandage them." I'm like, saying all this, only now realizing the need to bandage, this is really pathetic. Moreover, what's the use of bandaging anyway?

  "Isn't this wound caused by something ordinary?" I nodded, and Jiuchong interjected, "Do you know about the King of Ten Thousand Pests?"

  The woman's face changed in an instant, "I reckon this backyard is the Wan Gu Soul Devouring Array!" This woman's father was a famous Taoist priest back then, who grasped the secrets of setting up this array, and among his legacy was a record of it.

  Good heavens, is this really fate? The old woman hastily went to the bottom of the trunk and rummaged out a yellowed box. Inside the box was a jade pendant.

  I've found out about the treatment for this injury, but how do I use it?

  Soak the wound in a dung pit, let it ferment and produce maggots. The maggots will eat away the rotten flesh and secrete a tissue fluid that is the best medicine for healing wounds.

  At 27 degrees in Myanmar, I and Jiuchengtu are no longer okay.

  "Master, I'm done for."

  "If you want to stay alive, just soak in it."

  Vomiting, vomiting, startling a row of sparrows. "Master, this manure pit is our trio's masterpiece, I don't know if it's enough, let's add some slop water, won't the force be insufficient?"

  "Come on, otherwise you pull some more."

  "Master, I'm done for, I'm going to throw up." High temperature is easy to handle, but in the northwest winter, this is a waste. Feeling itchy, "Damn, maggots are growing, maggots are growing."

  As expected, I and the maggots on the wound multiplied in large numbers. Three days later, a large amount of rotten flesh on the wound disappeared, and the maggots also died in large numbers.

  Five days later, the wound had obviously taken a turn for the better, at least it could feel painful.

  "Ouch, Master, don't touch, it hurts to death." Jiucheng knew it hurt, "Ahh mom, I know it hurts." It turns out that pain can also excite people.

  Seven days later, the people who sent relief supplies arrived.
