According to Strange Tales of Gods and Demons, there are gu in this world, which use poison to beguile people.
But what is gu, really? Is there some creature in this world called gu, named for its poison? Or is there gu that ensnares people's hearts?
Greed, anger, delusion, love, and desire. All five are poisons. Is seeking immortality and the Dao not itself a gu of obsession?
Mortals seek to rival Heaven and Earth in longevity, forgetting life and knowing death, passing through cycle after cycle of reincarnation, yet never realizing they have lost their way.
