Chapter Forty-Seven: My Lord, Times Have Changed
In the eyes of many laymen, Gu art is very mysterious, evil and powerful, and it often makes life worse than death, but for insiders, Gu art is nothing special, it is just a kind of magic, in terms of mystery and power, many schools of magic are not weaker than Gu art.
Even from the perspective of their peers, i.e., enemies, cultivators still look down on Gu arts, saying that they are cultivating arts, while cultivators are cultivating the Dao.
But this is only the big guy is qualified to judge, I am a rookie who has just entered the rivers and lakes, if I dare to say this, I am estimated to be destroyed.
"Granny Kim, can you talk about it in another place?"
I thought about it, some things are still not suitable for talking about in a place with so many people, and I need to change places and be quieter.
Granny Jin nodded, and then we left the hotel and found a random place, and the little sister Jin also followed, and Granny Jin didn't seem to be in very good health.
"Granny Jin, dare to ask, how many years has it been since your people moved away from the mountains?"
"The last batch also moved down the mountain more than ten years ago, and I was the last one"
"Then Granny Jin thinks it's better to go down the mountain or better on the mountain"
"What do you want to say?"
Granny Kim reacted, knowing that there was a trap in my words, and refused to answer easily.
"What I wanted to say just now is, Granny Kim, the times have changed, but if you think about it carefully, no, the times have not changed, from ancient times to the present, what people are pursuing is the same, that is, a happy life.
What is the reason for the origin of Gu art, is that you Miao people live in the mountains, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, there are many challenges and threats, and there are many dangers, so there is Gu art to protect yourself, that is, to use Gu art as a means to pursue a happy life.
But now it's different, you don't need Gu magic to live happily, and even Gu magic will bring you some trouble, won't it?"
I opened my mouth and said, I really wanted to destroy the cave where Gu was raised, but since Granny Jin appeared, then I had to have a good reason.
"Clever tongue, the holy cave is over there, they are killing themselves, no one forced them into the mountain, they deserve it, it's like my family planted a tree, you ran to pick the fruit yourself, fell from the tree, and now you come to blame my tree for not being good, what kind of reason are you, don't think we are stupid, easy to bully"
Before Granny Jin could speak, the little sister Jin beside her said coldly and made the truth clear.
"Little sister is right, you are secretly changing concepts, you want to bully us?"
"Granny Jin, Little Sister Jin, I didn't change the concept secretly, this metaphor is not quite right, we pay attention to a people-oriented thing, the Gu Cultivation Cave on the mountain has threatened the lives of others, I think human life is more important, what do you think?"
"That's your life, it's not ours, what does it have to do with us?"
"You can't say that, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, when you pay attention to other people's lives, others will pay attention to your lives in the future, this is cause and effect, this is merit, each of us can't guarantee that the rest of our lives will be safe, right?"
I sincerely told them that now that other people's lives are at stake, we can't be so indifferent.
"Speaking of which, you still have to destroy our holy cave, you are still a bad person"
"No, I didn't say this, in fact, my purpose is to save people, more than half a month ago, five young people who don't know what to do rashly entered your holy mountain cave, and finally two people were hit by blood spiders, one of them found me and was untied by me, but the other person, who was very deep, has lost consciousness and disappeared, his parents are very sad, as long as Granny Jin can save this person, naturally there is no need to enter the mountain"
I arched my hand and said, as long as I can save people, I naturally don't have to go into the mountain again, but if I can't save people, and they want to stop me, then there is no way, and I can only say sorry when the time comes.
"The Blood Spider is the patron saint of the Holy Cave, and several of them invaded the Holy Cave and died innocently."
"Granny Kim, times have changed"
I have said this in a good voice, but Granny Jin's words still make me very angry, what is more than innocent in death, Xia Wenhai is certainly wrong, but the crime does not lead to death, and they must be beaten and punished, we admit it, but we can't kill people with a little mistake.
"You're right, times have changed, this era is very good, live and work in peace and contentment, I like it very much, so we moved out of the mountain, little sister, help them"
"Mother-in-law"
"Obedient, the holy mountain is still there, save people, so that no one will disturb the peace of the holy mountain"
Granny Jin said that she is a person who can carry it clearly, and now the bitter lord has not come, and there is still something to talk about, if the bitter lord comes, then he will definitely go to the holy mountain for a trip, disturbing the peace of the holy mountain, although they can stop it, but there will be a lot of incidents at that time.
"Thank you Granny Kim for your magnanimity"
"Boy, I don't know your name yet."
"In the lower Dulong Mountain, the Heavenly Master Dao, Yang Xuanzhen, the third disciple of Yang Heavenly Master, Li Xuanji"
"Are you Yang Xuanzhen's apprentice?"
When Granny Jin heard my master's name, her face immediately changed a little, and she asked rhetorically.
"Yes, the little disciple who was accepted ten years ago, my mother-in-law knows my master?"
"Do you have a Heavenly Master's order?"
"Yes"
"Mother Order, Yang Xuanzhen is dead?"
Granny Jin saw at a glance that the Heavenly Master Order in my hand was the Mother's Order, which made me very curious, the Heavenly Master Order was the mother, but ordinary people would never recognize it, this Granny Jin was an old acquaintance of the Master?
"My master passed away half a year ago"
"Yang Xuanzhen actually died, no, he shouldn't have died so soon, how old is he this year?"
"The day of Master's death is the 80th birthday"
"Eighty, hum"
"Granny Kim, is there any problem?"
I asked rhetorically, in fact, I also felt that there was a problem, Master has always been in good health, but he actually held a funeral for himself in advance, no matter how you look at it, it was wrong, and I didn't even think much about it at the time, it was really a pig's brain.
"It's nothing, it's okay, I'm tired, let's go"
"Mother-in-law, I'll send you"
"You stay, find people, save them, and come back"
Granny Jin refused to say anything and was about to leave, but Jin Xiaomei was left behind by her, and it can be seen that Jin Xiaomei is very unhappy.
"Thank you Little Sister Kim"
"I'm older than you, my name is Sister Jin, and my little sister is not what you can call"
Jin Xiaomei raised her head and looked at me very arrogantly.
"Okay, Sister Kim"
I don't care, this little girl Jin looks like she is in her twenties, and it's normal to yell at my sister more than me.
"Hmph, let's go"
Jin Xiaomei snorted, and then we returned to the hotel, Xia Zhishu and his wife are also here, including Xia Wenhai's friend who went into the mountain, his name is ***.
Wang Jianmin seemed to be very afraid of Jin Xiaomei, and his eyes were cringe when he looked at her, and he didn't know what had happened.
"Mr. Xia, there is good news, we don't have to go into the mountain, this Sister Jin is willing to help us find someone"
"Really, that's great"
Xia Zhishu was very happy, in his son's condition, if he really entered the mountain, it would be a life of death, and it would be great if he didn't go in.
"Sister Jin, how are you going to find someone next?"
"This girl has her own tricks"
"Then wait for Sister Jin's tricks, let's also open our eyes"
"That's a must, but I need a car, and whoever of you has a car, who can drive"
Jin Xiaomei nodded, and when everyone looked at her with hopeful eyes, she felt that this feeling was very refreshing.
"We rented one, but it can't fit six people, ***, why don't you go home first?"
"No, he has to go, collude with outsiders to enter the holy mountain, this can be killed in ancient times, you must be punished, Wang Jianmin, the matter of renting a car and driving is handed over to you, come and pick us up tomorrow morning"
Xia Wenhai meant to let *** go back first, but Jin Xiaomei refused very arbitrarily, and she had an aggressive momentum, and she didn't dare to refute it.
Jin Xiaomei and *** left first, and Xia Wenhai said, "Mr. Li, why are you so afraid of that woman, what is her origin?"
"I don't know either"
"Ahem, there are many ethnic minorities in this area, many ethnic minorities were Tusi system before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were nobles and slaves, the Tusi system was abolished for only a few decades, it is said that everyone is equal, but in the hearts of some people, the status is still unequal, I have dealt with some people in my young life, and that Granny Jin may be the nobles in the Tusi before"
Xia Zhishu coughed, and then explained that as an intellectual, he finally had a little usefulness.
"Mr. Xia should be right, Gu art is not something that anyone can learn, in ancient times, it was also a priest head who could learn it, his status was not low, and what he did was indeed a felony in ancient times, and it was estimated that he was punished by Granny Jin, and he was scared."
I nodded, even in ancient times, Gu art was not something that everyone could learn, and in a tribe, it was basically learned by nobles such as priests.
And that *** is estimated not to be a background problem and inferior, after all, they are all educated, the times have changed, who still looks down on whom, it should be rectified by Granny Jin.
No need to go into the mountain, the Xia family is relieved, early the next morning, *** drove a seven-seater business car, it seems that the donkey friends who can play mountaineering and camping are not poor peasants, at least they have to be a small landlord.
Xia Zhishu returned the rented car, we all got into the car that *** drove, *** was the driver, and the direction was to Shacheng, as for what secret method Jin Xiaomei was going to perform, I don't know, my understanding of Gu art is quite limited.
Jin Xiaomei gave people the feeling of coldness at first, but after a long period of contact, she slowly opened the conversation box and became more talkative, and it can be seen that Jin Xiaomei is also very yearning for the big city outside.
After chatting a lot, I also know what confidence Jin Xiaomei has to find people, because she has a blood spider in her hand, and she can locate the person who has been tricked through secret methods, and in ancient times, they used this trick to find those outsiders who broke into the holy mountain.
