Chapter 142: Sacrificial Ceremony
"You little worm is amazing," she asked Silverbell, "but how did they get to the recipient?
"Of course not," Yinling said after carefully placing the copper tripod in his hand, "as long as you give them a sniff of each other's things, they will chase them all the way to the smell, and then they will be able to find someone." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
She suddenly rolled her eyes and asked slyly, "What, you want to use my Gu baby to contact your husband?"
Cheng Jingjing was caught by her, and said embarrassedly: "I'm just thinking about it, it's not easy for your Gu baby to practice, how can it be wasted like me like this." β
"You still want to lie to me," Yinling crossed his hands in front of his chest, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not that I don't know that you often sit outside alone and think about your lover, just say it if you want to borrow it, why do you lie to me." β
"It seems that if I have something to say in front of you," Cheng Jingjing said with a smile: "I really want to borrow your Gu worm, but I'm just afraid that I will waste your hard work like before." β
"I didn't tell you that this Gu worm only practiced once," Yinling said intentionally or unintentionally, "I still have to see if they work, if I don't listen to the call, I have to practice again." β
Cheng Jingjing heard the meaning of her words, and said: "Good sister, then you give them all to my sister for me to use, and I will know when they don't work." β
"Hmph. β
Silver Bell smiled proudly and said to her, "It will be successful in seven days, and then you and I will come here and take it away." β
"Thank you so much!" Cheng Jingjing was immediately grateful.
She had cut off contact with Yang An for a long time, and she didn't know what happened to King An's mansion, whether that person was trying his best to find herself. She still has many mysteries that have not been solved before leaving, and when the turmoil passes, she will definitely return to King An's Mansion and find out what happened!
Seven days later, Cheng Jingjing and Yinling went to the cave to take away the long-awaited Gu worm. She told Yinling the message she was going to deliver, and all she could do after that was to silently pray that Yang An would see their news.
"It's all gone, go back. β
Seeing that Cheng Jingjing was still standing in place and looking out, Yinling couldn't help but urge her: "Hurry up and go back to work, tomorrow is the Shennong Sacrifice Ceremony, and there are still a lot of herbs waiting for us to pick." β
Cheng Jingjing reluctantly turned around, picked up the bamboo basket and followed her away.
Every spring, when the grass grows, a festival is held in the valley. Shennong is one of the gods worshiped by their Urata tribe, and in addition to worshipping him, they also have to prepare the herbs they need for the following year. It stands to reason that herbs can be picked at any time in the valley in the spring season, but some precious herbs are only available outside the valley, and the people in the valley rarely go out, so they agree to go out of the valley together at this time of year, and they can take care of each other.
As soon as she thought that she had left the valley and couldn't return to the place she longed for, Cheng Jingjing's heart couldn't help but feel lonely. I don't know if her news reached Yang An's side, will he find out that it is himself when he sees the news?
She raised her wrist and looked at the jade bracelet, and finally understood what the ancients were talking about. In this backward era, once you are separated, it is difficult to get together, and you can't even make a phone call, it's like the world is separated.
"Madam, do you miss your master again?"
Seeing Cheng Jingjing sighing there, the painting came over: "The slave maid listened to Miss Yinling talk about the Gu worm, don't worry, he will definitely be able to see it." β
"I hope so. β
Cheng Jingjing picked up the sickle and waved it weakly, and said: "Actually, that's just a psychological comfort for myself, the mountains here are high and the road is far away, and it's not a matter of a day or two from the capital, if he can see it, it's the best, if he doesn't see me, it's not strange." β
"What are you rubbing over here," said Yinling, who came over with a bamboo basket on her back, and said to them, "Everyone has gathered at the exit, have you smeared the bottle of potion I gave you?"
"Of course we did what you told us," Cheng Jingjing put away the thoughts in her eyes and said with a smile: "We don't want to be bitten to death by those fist-sized mosquitoes in the mountains." β
"The mountains are full of plants, you all have to follow me," Yinling told them as she walked, "Although it is daytime, if you accidentally touch the fog, you will be in trouble, if you can't see clearly, I will follow Ameng, he will definitely protect you." β
"Roarβ"
Ah Mengxiong next to him screamed, causing everyone to laugh.
Although it is said that the people of the valley all went out en masse, the surrounding mountains were boundless, and it was not long before everyone could not see their respective figures.
Fortunately, Cheng Jingjing and the others followed closely behind Yinling, otherwise they would definitely be lost and didn't know the south, south, west, and north.
With a "pop-" sound, Cheng Jingjing once again killed a poisonous mosquito. It's also strange to say that although she and the painting were sprayed with potions, they were still attacked by poisonous insects, but the girl in Yinling was wearing a shorts and shorts and scurrying around like a nobody, which made people wonder if she was born with insects.
By noon, their task was almost done. Cheng Jingjing looked at the full bamboo basket behind her, thinking about asking Yinling when she would go back together.
"Roarβ"
Suddenly, Ah Meng in front of her screamed, almost scaring her soul out. Yinling shushed at them and said, "There seems to be a situation ahead, you follow me and don't make a sound." β
"It's not going to be a leopard again, is it?"
Cheng Jingjing shed a drop of cold sweat on her forehead, could it be that those leopards came to take revenge before? At this time, the painting was so frightened that she trembled like a sieve, last time she was rescued by Da Kun from the leopard's mouth, and now when she heard this word again, she almost fainted with black eyes.
Ah Meng in front of him ran through the bushes and there was no sound, and Yinling secretly looked over there, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that there were no wild beasts over there, just a strange pool of blood.
"There are no leopards, it's Ameng who is scaring us, you guys come and see. β
Yinling beckoned to Cheng Jingjing and the others, and the three of them walked to the pile of roots together. Cheng Jingjing squatted down, dipped her fingers in the blood stain and said, "Look at the blood is not dry, could it be that someone in the clan is injured?"
"It can't be a clansman," Yinling frowned and said, "If someone in our clan is injured, it will definitely send a signal to let everyone know, someone should have strayed into this mountain, could it be those who want to hunt you down?"
Cheng Jingjing was shocked and said: "There are very few tourists and businessmen passing by in Lingnan, and I think the eight achievements are them." β
"Madam, is that man still unwilling to let us go?" said worriedly on the side of the painting, "It's been two months since the incident, isn't she still giving up?"
"That man is as vicious as her sister, and she is not at ease not to see our corpses. β
