Chapter 6: Wisdom and Foolishness
Holding his chin in his hand, the jar continued: "I am your doppelganger, and I will never carry you. But Luo Zhong should steal the Zhu, because he wants to be the Heavenly Monarch, in other words, to create his father, the opposite of the Heavenly Monarch, how do you know that he will not take revenge?"
"I refined his blood just now, and there is no Gu poison in it. You simply can't control him like you can control a tamer. ”
Jiang Xiaogu nodded suddenly in realization, "No wonder you want his blood." I'll just say, it's just refining Gu poison, and it doesn't need a blood primer. ”
The jar looked at her with hatred, and she still had a face that looked very powerful.
"Jar, you were wrong.
"His name is Jiang Zhongying now, not Luo Zhongying. He's not a tamer, he's my apprentice. ”
Jiang Xiaogu's eyes were deep, "Of course I can trust him." Trust is fundamental. I didn't just accept him as an apprentice, how could others be willing to worship me as a teacher when they saw that I didn't even trust my apprentice?"
Xiao Gu's words were simple but reasonable, and the jar was a little surprised.
She used to win by absolute strength, almost a weapon that didn't need to think, and sometimes she was very slow, could it be that she had been pretending to be stupid all the time, and she had underestimated her.
Jar refused to admit defeat and snorted, "Let's see." ”
Coming out of the Gu realm, Jiang Xiaogu went straight to the grocery store.
As soon as she walked into the back hall of the grocery store, the children who were playing and arguing suddenly stopped making a sound, folded their hands and feet, and stood timidly.
Xiao Shun'er recognized her, but didn't dare to step forward. Only Xiaoyingzi was not afraid of her, ran over and hugged her legs, and called "sister" softly.
Jiang Xiaogu bent down and hugged her.
"Xiaoyingzi, take my sister to the place where you were poisoned. His face was still expressionless, but his voice was not as stiff as usual.
Xiao Shun'er plucked up the courage to step forward, "I'll take you there." ”
Xiao Shun'er carried Xiao Yingzi on her back and led Jiang Xiaogu towards the south, and a group of children followed them from afar, slowly getting closer and closer. When I got to the bottom of Nanshan, I ran into a ball.
"How did Xiaoyingzi get poisoned?"
Jiang Xiaogu remembered that there were no external injuries on her body at that time, not a bite. And just these dolls with fine skin and tender flesh, when they encounter demon beasts, none of them can escape.
Xiao Shun'er wiped her sweat, "I don't know." ”
"I know, I know. Xiao Yingzi was poisoned by that demon beast!"
Xiao Shun'er disagreed, "Not at all." When the monster came, I kept carrying Xiaoyingzi on my back. ”
A group of children quarreled, and from their words, Jiang Xiaogu also understood what had happened.
On that day, the group of children came to dig red cherry blossoms at the foot of Nanshan, and two monks suddenly came over and released a big monster beast with tiger skin and fangs. The children were so frightened that they fled in all directions, but the two monks laughed.
The Heavenly Order forbade the monks to harm mortals, and the two monks probably just wanted to have fun and summoned the demon beast back.
After they left, Xiao Shun'er and the others stepped forward again, and Xiao Yingzi was picking wild flowers on the side to play, and somehow she was poisoned.
And those two monks, the children all knew, were the fifth young master and sixth young lady of the Fang family.
Xiao Yingzi and Fang Yipo had the same poisoning symptoms, and they were indeed the same demon beast.
"Xiaoyingzi fell here. ”
Xiao Shun'er pointed to a meadow. There were a few clumps of dead grass, which stood out in the greenery.
"At that time, the two of the Fang family were pulling grass here, and the demon beast was near them. ”
Xiao Shun'er hated them and refused to call them immortal masters.
Jiang Xiaogu put his hand on the withered grass. Xiao Yingzi touched the drooling from the demon beast. ”
The children showed frightened expressions and crowded around Jiang Xiaogu, for fear of touching the water droplets on the blades of grass.
"It's been more than two months, and the toxins are gone," Jiang Xiaogu looked at the heads of a group of furry children beside his legs, "For safety, don't come here to play until I clean up that demon beast." ”
"You're going to hunt that demon beast?" Xiao Shun'er looked at Jiang Xiaogu in a daze, her face full of admiration.
He pointed to a grass and said, "I heard from the woman that the monster likes to eat that kind of grass." They took a lot of them and walked away. You might be able to make a trap or something. ”
The grass is dark green in color, with uneven leaves and serrated edges.
This is silver dancao. Jiang Xiaogu snorted, and his face tensed up a little more.
Back at Fang Yilian's house, the third lady had already left with Fang Yipo's body, and only Fang Siqi was left in the courtyard watering the flowers.
Jiang Zhongying listened to what Xiao Gu had found out, and his face was like frost.
Fang Yipo was indeed deliberately killed.
He failed to protect Fang Yipo, violated the oath of the other party Yilian, and was determined to make the eldest lady's family pay for the blood debt.
"I've picked a lot of silver pill grass and come back, let's have a way to give back to the other. ”
Jiang Xiaogu took out a red cherry fruit given to her by the children, wiped it on her clothes, and nibbled on it.
Jiang Zhongying also had this intention, nodded in response, and pointed to a pile of boxes on the side table and said, "These, look at them, do they fit your heart?"
Jiang Xiaogu bit the red cherry fruit and lifted the lid on the very edge. Inside is a set of aqua red embroidered skirts, beautifully handmade, light and soft.
"Bang dang. ”
The red cherry blossom fell out of her mouth, slammed into the lid, and rolled along the edges.
"It's all a low-grade magic weapon or a mortal thing," Jiang Zhongying was a little cramped, "I can only buy these for you now." ”
Jiang Xiaogu closed the lid without saying a word, and was about to leave with the box in his arms.
"Do you only need that one? Anything else, don't you like it?" These were personally selected by Jiang Zhongying, but he didn't know Jiang Xiaogu's preferences.
Jiang Xiaogu paused, slowly turned around, and stacked the boxes one by one, as tall as her when he picked them up.
She left with a "thank you." The box blocked her face.
But Gao is not happy, and he knows it without looking at his expression.
Jiang Zhongying felt that the flowers were blooming just right, the wind was blowing comfortably, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
In Jiang Xiaogu's house, the jar looked at her and turned around in front of the mirror, and cut off, "I used to wear immortal magic robes, which one didn't look better than these?" ”
Jiang Xiaogu ignored him and tried on his own dress.
"Jar, what color do you say I'm wearing?"
These skirts are all light and faint colors such as mugwort green, silk color, red color, and moon white, and they can't be refined, Jiang Xiaogu is really afraid that he will wear dirty.
"Isn't this a funeral?"
Three days later, Jiang Xiaogu wore a frost-colored dark flower gauze skirt, her clothes were fluttering, and she had a Gu cultivation jar hanging around her waist, and followed Jiang Zhongying to the Fang family's main house.
The main house has four courtyards belonging to four ladies. Naturally, the funeral was held in the third courtyard.
There was a little girl standing at the gate of the third courtyard, holding a willow branch dipped in the fragrant water in the basin and sprinkled it on the visitors to avoid filth.
The two little girls seem to be a little lazy, and not every visitor is sprinkled, so they care about pleasing the people in the compound.
The third lady was dressed in plain clothes, standing outside the mourning hall like wood, only glanced at Jiang Xiaogu and the two when they came in, and looked at the mourning hall in a daze, her face was soaked with resentment and hatred.
