Chapter 185: Fifth Master Dog's Skills Stun the Miao People
Zhang Lin said that Fifth Master Dog had been invited to visit the dwelling place of the Fierce Chestnut tribe.
And in the local Miao language, "fierce chestnut" means "gu" (poison-venom sorcery)!
This was also the first time the crowd had heard of gu appearing.
In fact, most Han people are not unfamiliar with gu sorcery.
Whether in film and television dramas or novels, Miao people who know how to cast gu often appear.
And for the Han people, these stories are nothing more than stories.
In real life, very few people ever encounter Miao people who practice gu sorcery.
Some Han people have gone their entire lives without ever seeing a single Miao person.
Miao people are skilled in gu, and are divided into raw Miao and cooked Miao.
The so-called raw Miao is also relative to the cooked Miao.
On the surface it refers to the degree of Sinicization, but in reality it is an important marker for distinguishing gu sorcery!
Raw Miao practice gu sorcery, so they do not come into contact with outsiders, and naturally their degree of Sinicization is low.
Generally, outsiders absolutely cannot enter the stockades of the raw Miao.
Even cooked Miao do not dare to set foot in raw Miao territory without permission.
What Lan Qiao said actually carries deep meaning.
He said that among the nearby Miao people, their clan is the most authoritative branch!
This is by no means bragging — they are a gu-Miao clan, so naturally their status among the Miao people is the highest!
After the founding of the nation, Xia Country encouraged minority peoples to interact more with the Han people.
Unconsciously, this not only eased the conflicts between minority peoples and the Han, but also brought greater integration among the many ethnicities.
Those raw Miao who had originally hidden deep in the mountains followed the great trend and walked out of the great mountains.
But in reality, those ancient things were still preserved.
They simply were no longer displayed lightly!
Isn't there that joke about a Han person asking an old Miao man whether there are still any Miao people in the stockade who can cast gu?
The old Miao man shook his head repeatedly and said: We can't cast gu! If we do, the Party branch secretary will get angry!
Bystanders listening only found it amusing, but this is actually the real situation.
Miao people who know gu sorcery no longer lightly practice it, and most of them have gone into hiding.
But that does not mean that the Miao people's gu sorcery has been cut off in this world!
At this moment, hearing from Zhang Lin's mouth that a branch of Miao people skilled in gu sorcery had appeared, the audience was actually very excited!
Ordinary people have a strong curiosity about the Miao people's gu sorcery.
This curiosity stems from the eerie and mysterious nature of gu sorcery itself!
And Wu Laogou's profession is a tomb raider, which is the same as most of the audience present.
Hearing that Wu Laogou had been invited by the gu Miao to visit their stockade as a guest, everyone felt a strong sense of identification!
Every person's emotions were stirred up by Zhang Lin, wanting to know exactly what Fifth Master Dog encountered in the Miao stockade.
"Fifth Master Dog was naturally curious by nature — of course, without curiosity he couldn't be a tomb raider either."
"The area where the Miao people live is a place as mysterious as a Peach Blossom Spring."
"Moreover, Lan Qiao's clan of Miao people is more mysterious than other Miao people — how could one possibly resist going to see for oneself?"
"So after hearing Lan Qiao's words, Fifth Master Dog barely hesitated — with a single flip he leapt onto Lan Qiao's boat."
"Fifth Master Dog's nimble moves immediately drew a cheer from the Miao people, and even the beautiful Miao maiden Miss Lan Ling looked at him with curiosity on her face."
"Lan Qiao then explained that they rarely saw Han people with such good moves, so everyone felt Fifth Master Dog was very special."
