Chapter 4 Amu
"The morning clouds and twilight rain are dark, and the goddess knows how many peaks she has come. ”
Wu Xingfeng thought of the Ming Dynasty poet Yang Ting's poem "Dragon Paste Story|Buying Bu", and thought of Li Shan's annotation of "Xiangyang Old Biography": the daughter of the Red Emperor, her name is Yaoji. He died before he could do it, and was buried in the sun of Wushan, so he was called the daughter of Wushan.
A few days after the burial, the spirit turned into grass and was named Ganoderma lucidum. After a thousand years, he cultivated his human body, realized his own magic, and his subordinates were twelve people, called his twelve brook girls, and their magic power reached the sky, and no one could reach them. When the Red Emperor heard it, he broke into the Purple Mansion at night for "Liujia Shentian". The goddess got three volumes, cultivated for a great increase, the suffering of the dawn of the world, sighed the impermanence of life and death, and then the three volumes of the divine book Bingyu to help him, help him open up the wasteland and pass the river, and erect the list of Kyushu.
Dayu is grateful for the grace of the goddess and sings praises in the name of Kyushu.
Seeing that the young man in front of her looked confused, Xuannu comforted: "Although Wushan is remote, no one dares to invade it, you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't think about losing your blood and energy." ”
Wu Xingfeng was silent, he had not yet recovered from the shock.
Anyone who encounters such bizarre events will sigh at the impermanence of the world. Wu Xingfeng is no exception, in fact, he did not feel lonely and depressed because he suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar environment, but felt very close to home.
The feeling is both strange and familiar.
Xin Wangshan once said that the White Tiger Heavenly Master of the Jin Clan came from the modern era four thousand years ago, and although it was bizarre, it also conformed to the rules of the Xuanhuang Universe.
Although the Xuanhuang universe is unsearchable, it has a certain degree of visibility, and all the matter that is transformed is the material energy produced when the Xuanhuang universe breathes, which is the principle of yin and yang that appears in the derivation of Taoism.
Yin and Yang are transformed by qi, at first black and white, with the loss of infinite years, the extreme yin gives birth to yang, and the extreme yang gives birth to yin. The black and white sides began to have the air of fertility.
Fertility comes from the blending of black and white, and then it is disturbed by the day after tomorrow, and any existence is not accidental, but an inevitability exposed in the lurking of time.
It seems unreasonable, but in fact it is the unchanging operation law of the Xuanhuang universe, since he is a variable, then the White Tiger Heavenly Master of the Jin Clan back then must also be a variable.
No wonder Master Xin Wangshan wants to force himself to memorize the biochemical metaphysics mentioned in the method of dividing gold.
Wu Xingfeng seemed to have a black and white totem in his mind, and the two breaths from the same source were slowly blending, and there was only a chaotic Xuanhuang ruin between black and white, with no substance.
Maybe this is the Xuanhuang universe 6,500 years ago, Wu Xingfeng is more and more sure of his guess.
I don't know when, it rained lightly outside, and the light rain was dripping, like thousands of girls wiping the roof of the thatched hut, careful and silky.
stayed awake all night, and early the next morning, the Xuannu took food for Wu Xingfeng, and then disappeared.
Wu Xingfeng felt thirsty and got up to get the earthen pot with clean water on the stake. The moment he touched the earthen pot, Wu Xingfeng only felt that his finger was pricked by something, and then he lost consciousness.
It was midnight when she woke up, and the Xuannu did not return.
Wu Xing's mouth was dry, recalling the reason for his fainting, his eyes moved to the earthen pot with clean water on the wooden stake, and his heart sank. When frowning, he stepped back carefully, only to see a small green-spotted snake wrapped around the mouth of the earthen pot, looking at it with its head tilted, and the letter in its mouth swayed, making a sound from time to time.
Looking at the index finger of the right hand, it was red, swollen and numb, and it was known that it was poisoned by the green spotted snake.
Among the five elements, each of them is restrained, and the general small snake will not be highly poisonous, but this snake is gorgeous, the color is too enchanting, it must not be an ordinary snake, worried that this thing will take the initiative to attack, Wu Xingfeng retreated, and slowly took out the dagger in his arms.
The little green-spotted snake seemed to be able to sense what Wu Xingfeng was going to do, and turned around and swam away while squinting.
Seeing that this snake retreated for no reason, Wu Xingfeng became more and more puzzled in his heart, and after thinking about it, he was covered in a cold sweat, if this snake was really harmful to his heart, he would have been bitten to death.
Judging from the time he was unconscious, at least four hours had passed, and in such a long time, what should have happened had happened too soon, and he would not wait until he woke up to attack.
The redness, swelling and numbness of the right finger are not like the tooth marks left by ordinary snake attacks and bites, but more like being pricked by some kind of sharp thorn. It's just that there is no trace of bloodshed.
Wu Xingfeng was already thirsty, and he didn't drink water during the coma, so he couldn't bear it anymore at this time. Just as he was about to pick up the earthen jar and drink the water in the jar, the small green-spotted snake that swam away folded back again.
This turnaround came in from the door, and there was a soybean-sized bead in his mouth, and the bead glowed with a faint luster, which was very strange.
The little green-spotted snake swam all the way to the stake, then raised its head and put down the beads in its mouth, looking up and squinting at the jug that Wu Xingfeng was holding in his arms.
Wu Xingfeng hesitated for a moment, put down the jug, pointed to the beads on the wooden stake and said, "You want to use this bead to exchange the water in the jar with me?"
The little green-spotted snake squinted and didn't move, staring at Wu Xingfeng with a letter in his mouth.
Wu Xingfeng saw that the little snake with green spots did not move, and guessed that it did not understand, so he said it again in the ancient language. This time, the green-spotted snake nodded slowly at Wu Xingfeng.
The ancients had the habit of being easy to change, and animals with spirits also learned. It's just that Wu Xingfeng thinks that the behavior of the green spotted snake is a little ridiculous, although he doesn't know what is strange about the beads on the stake, but it can be seen from the color of the beads that this bead must have its value.
"Are you sure you want to exchange the beads for this jar of water?" Wu Xingfeng asked again.
The little snake did not nod immediately, but turned to leave, and came back from outside after a while, only then did Wu Xingfeng see clearly that there was an identical bead on the stake. It's just a little purple in color, and the previous one is pale red.
After putting down the beads, the little snake looked at Wu Xingfeng with expectant eyes, since there was no trace of greed in his eyes, more sincerity.
If this was a person, maybe Wu Xingfeng would have exchanged with him immediately, but what he was facing at this time was an unknown small green-spotted snake, and this little snake had bitten it not long ago, or to be exact, it had pierced him with something.
Seeing Wu Xingfeng hesitating, the little snake was a little anxious.
Swimming back and forth along the stakes, he squinted his head from time to time and looked out of the house, as if he was afraid that someone would find out.
Wu Xingfeng didn't want to exchange it with it, but wondered why this little snake used two beads to exchange the water in the jar with him. "This water works for you?"
The little snake nodded and stared at Wu Xingfeng motionlessly, for fear that he would refuse.
"I'm thirsty, can you let me take a sip?" Wu Xingfeng bargained.
The little snake hesitated for a moment and nodded. Then he curled up his tail and moved it in the direction where Wu Xingfeng was standing.
Wu Xingfeng was so thirsty that he picked up the earthen pot and drank it in a big gulp, and before he knew it, he had taken three big sips. Only then did he put down the earthen pot with the water. "Here you go. ”
The little snake didn't know that Wu Xingfeng had taken a few sips, so he just swam up the earthen jar and put his head towards the water in the jar.
The earthen pot is very large, when there are more than ten catties, the three mouthfuls just now are nothing at all, so Wu Xingfeng naturally does not think that the second mouthful of drinking too much will be discovered.
After observing the clear water in the jar, the little snake raised its head and looked at Wu Xingfeng suspiciously, and then used its tail to roll back the bead that had just moved in front of Wu Xingfeng.
Wu Xingfeng was embarrassed and stunned at the same time, this snake has become a sperm.
"One is one. How do you take it?" Wu Xingfeng looked at the little snake, a little unhappy.
The little snake ignored it, but poked its head into the jug, and after a while there was not a drop of water left in the jug.
Looking at the body of the little snake again, there is no change in the slightest, it is still so slender, and the green skin around it is still so gorgeous and enchanting.
The little snake drank the water in the jar and left silently, Wu Xingfeng stood for a long time, and then picked up the pale red beads on the stake. Wu Xingfeng had never seen this kind of bead, but he heard Xin Wangshan say that after a monster has been practicing for a long time, it will produce an inner pill in its body, and this bead must be the inner pill in the body of an animal.
The light red inner dan is more common, and there are a little bit of Taoist aliens in the body, but the purple inner dan is not so easy to see, and the green spotted little snake took away the light purple inner dan because he drank two more sips of water, which also illustrates this point.
On the second day, the Xuannu still didn't come. At noon, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old came from the downstream of the river, carrying a on her shoulder, seeing Wu Xingfeng did not speak, silently disemboweled the, washed the blood, and took out the bone knife she brought with her to divide the, the was very large, there were thirty or forty catties, but the internal organs were also twenty catties. The little girl is very skillful in her movements, and she must have done similar things often.
In less than half an hour, the huge were evenly divided into stone mortars.
One of the mortars has only the internal organs of a chickadee and no refined flesh.
"Who is this for?" Wu Xingfeng asked, pointing to one of the stone mortars.
The little girl glanced up at Wu Xingfeng, and replied in a stiff tone: "Anyway, it's not for you." ”
The little girl spoke a little impulsively, but she was very good-looking, although she was thin, her face was black and white, and her big eyes were very clear.
"What's your name?" Wu Xingfeng thought it was funny, and squatted down to help her.
When the little girl saw Wu Xingfeng squatting, she hurriedly moved the stone mortar to the side, feeling a little protective of food. "Amu. ”
"Amu?" Wu Xingfeng was a little surprised, and immediately understood that in ancient times, slaves did not have surnames, they only called names.
"Yes, you are a distinguished guest of the Xuannu tribe, please wait in the house, it will be fine for a while!" The little girl named Amu, although she didn't like Wu Xingfeng very much, was still very enthusiastic out of politeness.
"My name is Wu Xingfeng, are you saying that this is the Xuannu tribe?" Wu Xingfeng asked.
"Aren't you from our people?" the little girl asked with a frown.
"Yes, I don't belong here. Wu Xingfeng felt that there was no need to deceive the little girl named Amu.
"Do you belong to the bear tribe?" Amu picked out a piece of fine meat and put it in the mussel shell beside him. "This is for you, take it!"
Wu Xingfeng waved his hand and did not answer. "The Xuannu tribe also belongs to the Shennong tribe?"
"Our ancestors are the Shennong clan, of course they belong to the Shennong tribe, there are many small tribes under the Shennong tribe, here is the Xuannu tribe, and the Xuannu is our patriarch. Amu said.
"Is the Shennong you are talking about the one who paid for the herbs?" Wu Xingfeng recalled the knowledge in the books.
"The people of the Shennong clan all know all kinds of herbs, you must have a bear tribe, only people over there would ask such superficial questions. Amu picked up the mussel shell and sent it again.
"I really don't, I'm not hungry!" Wu Xingfeng was willing to let a little girl do such dirty and tiring work. "I'll help you!"
Amu unceremoniously pushed Wu Xingfeng away. "This is the work of slaves, you are a guest, you can't. ”
"Okay!" Wu Xingfeng saw Amu's serious expression, so he had no choice but to get up, so he had to stand aside and watch Amu go about his work.
There are three stone mortars, each weighing dozens of catties, and it seems that it should not have been placed by Amu, but by the river.
"How to eat this?" Wu Xingfeng saw that Amu had changed the internal organs into a larger stone mortar, picked up the round-headed wooden stick prepared in advance and pounded it against the internal organs of the, scooped a scoop of water from the river and poured it in, stirring it evenly.
"It's delicious to put some salt and some grass seed paste!" Amu finally smiled, and the smile was very cute.
