At the end of the passage was a thick stone door, tightly closed. Lin Wan looked at the stone door, and her heart was extremely frustrated, because she didn't find any mechanism by the door, and the door couldn't be pushed open, and she couldn't move.

Obviously, the opening and closing of this stone door is outside. Lin Wan wanted to go out, but it was impossible at all, so Lin Wan had to drag his heavy legs and red and swollen soles again, and walked back helplessly.

However, as soon as he took a few steps, he heard a "crunching" sound behind him. Looking back, I saw that the stone gate was slowly moving aside.

The dazzling sunlight suddenly shone in, making Lin Wan's eyes narrow. After getting used to it for a while, I saw the national teacher standing outside the stone gate.

The National Teacher looked at Lin Wan with a smile and sighed softly: "I really didn't expect Her Royal Highness Princess Wan's injuries to heal so quickly, it's really gratifying!"

Lin Wan smiled slightly, respectfully saluted the National Teacher, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your care and care these days, the medicinal herbs you add to Wan'er's food every day are very helpful to Wan'er's physical recovery." Moreover, Wan'er was poisoned, if there was no treatment from the national teacher, I am afraid that she would not be able to live now. ”

The National Teacher didn't say much, nodded with a smile, and said, "If Her Royal Highness Princess Wan can continue to walk, please come with me." With that, he turned and walked out.

Lin Wan nodded to Xuecao, motioned for her to help herself follow behind the National Teacher, and slowly walked out.

Walking out of the passage and seeing the large woods, Lin Wan knew that he had returned to the place where the thousand-year-old Gu worms lived.

Lin Wan sighed lightly, he really wanted to go back, and returning to that room that did not see the light of day was much better than facing that terrifying thousand-year-old monster.

However, since he has come, there is no way out, and the stone gate behind him has been closed. So, she had no choice but to follow the national teacher through the woods and come to the small lake.

The thousand-year-old Gu worm slept on an island in the middle of the lake, lying there motionless, its eight long legs stretched out lazily and casually, floating with the lake. It also seemed to sense Lin Wan's arrival, and its big round eyes swept over Lin Wan coldly, and a trace of excitement and anticipation flashed in its eyes, as if it was looking at its food.

Lin Wan couldn't help but take a step back, feeling a little timid in his heart, feeling that the thousand-year-old Gu worm had already regarded himself as its food.

The National Teacher smiled and said softly: "Her Royal Highness Princess Wan don't have to be afraid, the thousand-year-old Gu worm will not hurt you, because it likes you very much." ”

Lin Wan snorted coldly, hooked his lips disdainfully, and said, "It's not that it likes me, it's that it likes my blood." Even if it lives for a thousand years, it is still a cold-blooded animal, how can it have human emotions?"

The National Teacher nodded with a smile and said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Wan is right, the thousand-year-old Gu worm really likes your blood. For this, the deity also feels very strange, and hopes that Her Royal Highness Princess Wan can solve the deity's doubts. ”

Lin Wan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, and said uncertainly: "The question of the National Teacher, Wan'er can't answer it." Wan'er didn't know much about the preferences of the thousand-year-old Gu worm, and she never thought that she would be favored by its old man. However, Wan'er has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and she has taken a lot of rare tonics, and she also took the very rare Xiyan fruit a few months ago. Perhaps, its old man likes the fragrance of medicine on Wan'er's body, and likes a certain medicine left in Wan'er's blood. ”

The National Teacher was shocked when he heard this, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, what did you say? Have you taken the Xiyan fruit on Xiyan Mountain? Is it the kind of Xiyan fruit that blooms in 30 years and can only bear fruit in another 30 years?"

Lin Wan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Wan'er has been cold and poisonous since she was a child, and she has tried all the treatment methods and rare medicinal materials to no avail. Finally, a few months ago, God gave me a chance to take Xiyan Fruit and fully recovered. ”

The National Teacher suddenly realized, nodded, and said, "I see, no wonder the thousand-year-old Gu worm likes your blood so much, and cherishes it incomparably." ”

Lin Wan glanced at the thousand-year-old Gu worm lightly, and said disdainfully: "It may be very smart and knows what it wants." I also know that the method of killing chickens and taking eggs is not advisable. That's why it leaves me a way to live. However, it only doesn't hurt me for the time being. When it has a new target, maybe it will kill me or let me go. ”

The National Teacher shook his head helplessly and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess Wan can rest assured, the deity will naturally not let Her Royal Highness Princess Wan be hurt at all." Moreover, the Buddha-figure believes that there will never be so many coincidences that happen to another person. Her Royal Highness Princess Wan has been poisoned by the cold, and the cold qi in her body is exactly what the thousand-year-old Gu worm likes. What's more, you have also taken such a precious Xiyan fruit, and I am afraid that you are the only one in this world who has ever taken Xiyan fruit. Therefore, it is impossible for it to meet a better living body, and it is impossible to kill Her Royal Highness Princess Wan because of a new target. ”

Lin Wan couldn't help but put her mind at ease, smiled bitterly, and said, "In this way, Wan'er's fate is saved." However, isn't the National Teacher going to let Wan'er go? Is it possible for Wan'er to leave here and return to her hometown?"

The National Teacher looked at Lin Wan lightly, did not answer her question, and turned his head to look at the thousand-year-old Gu worm that was becoming more and more restless and slowly approaching the shore. couldn't help frowning slightly, pointed to the copper basin not far from Lin Wan's side, and said anxiously: "The thousand-year-old Gu worm can't wait, please ask Her Royal Highness Princess Wan to use this knife to cut her wrist, release an appropriate amount of blood, and give it to the thousand-year-old Gu worm." As he spoke, he took out a small knife from his sleeve, and handed it over to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan took the knife, glanced at the copper basin, and felt terrible when he thought about it, his body had not recovered yet, how could he release so much blood?

Seeing that the thousand-year-old Gu worm was getting closer and closer, Lin Wan's heart trembled, and he was ruthless, so he slashed at his wrist, and suddenly the blood flowed, falling drop by drop.

However, Lin Wan's blood did not drip into the copper basin, but suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and a red letter suddenly stretched out, accurately catching Lin Wan's blood, and did not miss a drop. Lin Wan looked at the thousand-year-old Gu worm that was close at hand, and he was inevitably a little scared in his heart, and his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Lin Wan's blood was too little, only a dozen or twenty drops, and the wound was no longer bleeding. Suddenly, the red letter suddenly wrapped up from some angle, licking the blood on Lin Wan's wrist clean, and it was not wasted at all.
