Secrets of Gusu
Lin Yu and Suna collapsed like two exhausted puppets on the rough floor of the cabin. Their chests heaved violently like bellows as they gasped for air, each breath a mixture of relief and exhaustion. The Gu eggs in their hands emitted a faint, strange light, flickering in the dim cabin, as if telling them of the thrilling adventure they had just experienced, or hinting at the mysterious truth that was about to be revealed.
The Gu Po walked slowly toward them with light, steady steps. She crouched slightly, her wrinkled yet intelligent face gazing softly at the two of them. Her eyes expressed both admiration for their resilience and the solemnity of revealing a secret. "Your ability to obtain the Gu eggs has exceeded my expectations. Now, it's time to reveal the truth about Gu magic." Her voice was no longer as mysterious as before, as if shrouded in mist. Instead, it was more gentle and solemn, like an elder about to impart a family secret to a younger generation.
Lin Yu and Suna struggled to sit up, as if hearing some mysterious call. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity. After going through this series of life-or-death trials, the secrets of Gu magic were like the brightest light in the darkness, capturing their full attention. At this moment, their hearts were filled with a desire for the unknown, and all fatigue was temporarily dispelled by this intense curiosity.
The Gu woman gently took the Gu egg from Lin Yu's hand, her movements as gentle as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world. She held the egg close to her eyes, examining it carefully in the dim light of the wooden house. The egg shimmered with a mysterious luster in the dim light, and the texture on its surface seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe. "This Gu egg is the key to unlocking the secrets of Gu magic. Gu magic is not simply sorcery; it stems from the Miao people's reverence and exploration of nature." The Gu woman's voice was low and soothing, as if she were recounting an ancient legend spanning thousands of years.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Suna's eyes, like a meteor suddenly bursting across the night sky, fleeting yet incredibly dazzling. "But why does the outside world consider witchcraft evil?" She frowned slightly, the doubts in her heart like a tangled thread that urgently needed to be untangled.
The Gu woman sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to carry the weight of history. Her eyes held a hint of helplessness, as if she saw a past stained with blood and strife. "This is because the power of Gu is too great. Once exploited by those with ulterior motives, it can cause immense harm. Historically, ambitious individuals have sought to use Gu to rule Miao territory, even to dominate the world. They used it to create plagues, leaving countless people struggling in agony, their lives fading like candles in the wind. They stirred up conflict, roiling the Miao region with war, turning families against each other, and reducing homes to ruin. Over time, Gu became misunderstood as an evil practice, cast under a terrifying shadow." The Gu woman's voice tinged with grief and indignation, as if the pain of that history still lingered in her heart.
Lin Yu frowned, lost in deep thought. His eyes gleamed with thought, his mind constantly sketching the history of Gu magic. "So what's the connection between this Gu egg and the true power of Gu magic?" he asked slowly, his heart filled with curiosity and a desire to explore.
The Gu woman gently stroked the Gu egg, her expression as solemn as if she were performing a sacred ritual. "This Gu egg contains a Gu insect with special abilities. It resonates with the caster's mental energy, greatly enhancing the power of the Gu technique. Furthermore, it can sense the surrounding Gu insects and guide their actions. In the hands of a true Gu master, it can exert effects beyond imagination. Imagine, when your mind is connected with this Gu egg, the surrounding Gu insects become like extensions of your body, at your command. What a powerful force that would be. But this power also carries with it great responsibility. If it gets out of control, the consequences could be disastrous." The Gu woman's words were like a hammer, hammering down on Lin Yu and Suna's hearts.
Suna asked curiously, with a gleam of curiosity in her eyes: "Then how can we use these Gu eggs to understand and master the Gu technique?" She was both expectant and nervous, as if she was standing in front of a door to a mysterious world, about to step into an unknown territory.
The witch smiled, a smile like the warm spring sun, dispelling the tension. "Next, I will teach you how to establish a spiritual connection with the Gu eggs. This process is not easy, requiring you to set aside all distractions and devote yourself wholeheartedly. Once you succeed, you will be able to glimpse the subtleties of Gu magic. It's like searching for a glimmer of light in the darkness. Only by focusing your attention can you seize that opportunity and unlock the mysterious door to Gu magic."
Lin Yu and Su Na exchanged a look of determination. They knew this was a crucial step in uncovering the secrets of witchcraft, and no matter how difficult it was, they had to give it their all. At that moment, a fearless courage welled up in their hearts, like soldiers about to enter a battlefield, determined to uncover the truth at all costs.
The Gu Woman cleared a space in the center of the cabin. The dust on the ground rose gently as she moved, then slowly settled. She gestured for the two to sit cross-legged, her gesture imbued with an invisible majesty. Then, she lit a stick of incense, and wisps of green smoke rose, exuding a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. The fragrance, like a soft ribbon, slowly drifted through the air, as if to envelop their souls and lead them into a quiet world. "Now, close your eyes, empty your mind, and focus your attention on the Gu egg. Feel its scent and try to connect with it. This will be a journey deep into your heart. You must bravely face your inner self and eliminate all distractions." The Gu Woman's voice flowed gently by their ears like a gurgling stream, guiding them into a state of emptiness.
