Chapter 33: Punishing Bullies and Obtaining Elixir (4)
Cao's courtyard is near the top of Wuniuling Mountain, Cao Zhubo claims to be the son of a family in the capital, likes elegance, and the courtyard built on the mountain is even exquisite, the courtyard that covers an area of several acres in half a year is actually a pavilion and attic should be possessed, carved railings and jade steps, Biwa Zhu eaves, brilliant light, especially the royal palace. The corridor shuttles in the courtyard, many interracial girls wearing colorful costumes are frolicking by the railing, and a small main thin courtyard has a sense of Weiliu rising and greasy, and the smoke is oblique and foggy.
The front of the courtyard happens to face a silver-like waterfall, the waterfall hangs upside down from the top of the mountain, and flows down the cliff wall to a small stream in the mountain, the stream meanders, undulating between the mountains, and reaches the pine forest of the Caojia Courtyard, the pine forest is uneven, the clear shade is intertwined, and the shadow of the tree is sparse. Changning saw that the empty mountains here were lonely, the dust was not visible, and the world was clear, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity!" "Such an unearthly beauty has been ruined by the fat powder of the courtyard.
He Yinglin looked at it for a while and said: "This courtyard must have been built by Dao soldiers with magical powers, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to build such an exquisite courtyard within half a year." β
Qi Yao said to Changning: "Senior sister, you must be careful when you go to the inner courtyard, some strange utensils must not be touched. β
Changning bowed his head and said, "Senior Brother Qi, don't worry, I won't have an accident." "The two magic weapons on her body can even be controlled by immortal plants, and a few small insects must be fine.
The courtyard of the Cao family is very large, and the three of them decided to act separately after discussion, He Yinglin went to explore the secret road, Changning explored the courtyard of the stepwife of the Cao family, and Qi Yao explored the courtyard of Cao Zhubo. According to the fat man, the Cao family dug a tunnel in their own courtyard to lead directly to the Immortal Cave Mansion, they seemed to be looking for some treasure, except for a few people in that secret passage, whoever approached it would die. This place is the most dangerous, and He Yinglin, who has the highest cultivation, will go.
The other two places are dangerous Cheng DΓΉ is not easy to say, Qi Yao is a man after all, and he is a teenager who has not experienced major events, in case he sees something in the inner courtyard that should not be seen, it is also dangerous to leak his breath, and the two simply check separately by gender. He Yinglin took up the technique of earth escape and fled to the cave of the ancestor of Yaocha, while Changning and Qi Yao used their invisibility magic weapons and walked to the gate of the courtyard.
The hidden cicada wings given by Xiyin Daojun have an extraordinary effect, not only hiding Changning's figure, but also her breath, even if she steps on the grass, she is as light as nothing, if it is not the right time now, Changning has to think about it. She walked straight to the inner courtyard, hid when she met people, and walked unimpeded all the way to the most beautifully decorated courtyard. Although the courtyard is beautifully decorated, there is not a single servant in the courtyard. The fat man once said that Mrs. usually doesn't like maids to serve when she comes close, this should be the main courtyard, right? The gate of the courtyard was closed, Changning gently supported her hand, and then turned over and fell into the courtyard, she has always been cautious, although she used the stealth treasure, she was still lucky with her feet, so that her feet floated slightly on the ground.
The flowers and trees in the courtyard are bright, regardless of the season, Changning loves flowers and trees, and has also learned the spell of flowers and grass with his grandfather, but he has never let the flowers and trees bloom every day, such behavior is consuming the vitality of the flowers and trees themselves, and the flowers and trees will wither in just a year, and the owner of this courtyard can make this kind of move, and the heart must not be much better. Changning raised 200,000 points of spiritual vigilance, she put her spiritual power in her eyes, looked into the house, she didn't know if she didn't know, she was really shocked when she saw it.
The main room, which looked extremely luxurious, was surrounded by black clouds, which were a foot thick, and surrounded the whole main room tightly and unventilated. Changning stared at it and found that these black clouds were composed of countless small insects, dense and intimidating, could her red silk be able to stop so many insects? Hong Aya seemed to sense Changning's doubts, and flew out of her dantian, turning into an almost transparent shimmer, enveloping Changning, Changning tentatively walked into the house, and those black insect clouds actively avoided three feet away from her. Changning was overjoyed, and I couldn't wait to hug the red silk and kiss it, it was really a good baby given to me by my father, so intimate!
With the protection of the red silk, Changning walked to the house with confidence, the insect cloud densely surrounded the room with a foot of space, Changning believed that if he didn't have the protection of the red silk, he would have been devoured by these Gu worms a long time ago. The room is furnished with brocade embroidered clusters, jade case bead curtains, all of which are extremely gorgeous, and even the lichen on the ground is a thick white bear skin. Changning has no intention of admiring the furnishings in the house, but she doesn't know how to investigate such a big place, so she can't knock on the walls one by one, right? Someone will find out about it, right?
Just when she was helpless, there was a sound of small footsteps outside the house, and her heart moved, and with a light click of her feet, she jumped onto the high beam.
A delicate voice sounded outside the house, "Sister, I'm tired of seeing the flowers here, why don't you let people change a few more?" As he spoke, two young women who were glamorous and dripping with powder walked out of the house, both of them were not dressed as Han people, surrounded by beads, their hands and legs were exposed, and their skin was white and dazzling, one of them was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a dignified demeanor and a hint of flattery, and the other was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate face and an attached look at the older woman.
The eldest daughter smiled: "I have changed the flowers for you twice this month, I don't think it's troublesome, I'm dazzled." β
The girl pouted and said, "We have so many flowers here, my sister is going to see the flowers early." β
The eldest daughter patted the younger sister's back and coaxed softly, "Your brother-in-law is busy during this time, and after this month, how about I change flowers for you every day?" β
"What the hell has my brother-in-law been up to lately?" The girl took her sister's arm and asked delicately, "In the past, my brother-in-law accompanied Sister Ah every day, but now Sister Ah rarely sees her brother-in-law once a month." β
"Silly boy, we are all old husbands and wives, and we need to see each other every day." The eldest daughter said with a faint smile.
The conversation between the two made Changning understand the identity of this woman, the older woman should be the concubine of Cao Zhubo, right?
The eldest daughter laughed with the girl for a while, the two walked to the inner room together, Changning jumped down from under the beam of the room, and with the two of them entering the inner room together, she was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to get too close to the two, and the two of them still talked and laughed without realizing it. Compared with the palatial hall, the inner room where the two men came was very simple, paved with stone slabs, and there was nothing in the room except for several clay pots of different sizes. The smallest of the pots were half a man tall and covered with talismans painted in cinnabar.
After the two sisters entered the room, they were silent, after washing their hands and faces, they knelt on the futon, chanting unknown and difficult syllables in their mouths, their expressions were solemn, and even the girls had strict faces, could this be the place where they raised Gu? Changning probably knows some methods of raising Gu, Gu people take centipedes, snakes, toads and other poisons when the Yang Qi is the heaviest during the Dragon Boat Festival every year, and put them in a big clay pot, put various medicinal materials in it, paste charms on the outside, let these poisons devour each other in the clay pot, and kneel in front of the clay pot every day to recite incantations, until the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony is held in the second year, open the clay pot, there must be only one poison left in it, and the poison left behind is the so-called Gu.
After the Gu was cultivated, after raising it with middle finger blood for a month and completing the ceremony of recognizing the master, the Gu would obey the master's words. Most of the Gu cultivators in Southern Xinjiang are women, probably because most of the Gu attributes are yin, which is consistent with the woman's physique. Changning always condensed the aura in her eyes, these crockpots were like battlefields in her eyes, countless poisons were biting inside, she looked away from her brows, but found that the crockpots had a little bit of green light, covered by a thick black fog, weak and invisible, she was about to take a closer look, the eldest daughter and the girl finished chanting the incantation, got up and left the Gu room, Changning hurriedly followed behind them.
"Senior sister, when do you think we will be able to dig through the Immortal Cave Mansion? Those Han cubs are stupid and stupid, they can't teach them, they only know how to bring some worthless talismans out all day long, they really deserve to feed us Gu worms! The girl said bloody words with an innocent face.
Changning already knew from the fat man's mouth that those children were more than lucky, but when she heard their fate again, her heart still sank, these people deserve to die! Changning secretly calmed himself down, now the important thing is to rescue the people who are not dead first, these people will not be able to escape when the people from the division come!
"It should be soon, I don't know what's going on recently, there are more and more monks coming to the cave, if I hadn't released Gu to those people, I wonder if someone in the family leaked the matter of the cave." The eldest daughter sighed.
"I'll kill you when you come, is Daddy afraid of those monks who can only play with spears? Without Daddy's Golden Silkworm Gu, my centipede alone is enough to kill them. The girl said indifferently, her little hand played with the small purse on her waist, and she had more than a dozen small purses scattered around her waist, and from time to time she took out a few talismans from the purse and threw them to play.
It seems that they really don't know that this is the cave of the ancestor of medicinal tea, but the Middle Earth sect doesn't come because of the rules, why don't other sects in southern Xinjiang come? Are they really so humble? Changning was secretly puzzled, but she forgot that not all sects could be inherited for nearly 10,000 years, the environment in southern Xinjiang was much more dangerous than that of Middle Earth, and the monks were strong and aggressive, even if some sects could be inherited from ancient times, they could only ensure that they would not be lost, and this kind of record of the Ascension Immortal Cave Mansion could only be preserved by a sect like Taishangzong. This is also because Shen Jian is a true disciple and has read too many sect classics. When this kind of thing is learned, it's too late to conceal it, where will it be publicized everywhere?
The eldest daughter glanced at Ah Mei, shook off a small banner that was only square inches, "If you've had enough, let it in." β
The girl muttered and shook all the talismans and magic weapons in the storage bag into the small flag, and the small banner gathered all these things. The eldest daughter put the small flag on her waist, if Changning hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really didn't know that this little flag, which was no different from the silk handkerchief, was actually a Sumeru flag, and the Sumeru flag could not only contain things, but also be stored as a teleportation flag, as long as this magic weapon was activated, it could teleport people to a predetermined place.
As soon as the two of them finished collecting the magic weapons taken out of the cave, they heard a loud noise outside, the faces of the two girls sank, the girl jumped out of the window, and saw a thundercloud floating in the middle of the air at some point, dozens of arm-thick lightning bolts were slashing at their courtyard, and there was a wailing cry in the courtyard, and a few lightning bolts slashed, and the originally elegant and luxurious courtyard was not what it looked like. Everyone was stunned by this change, and even Changning was surprised, could it be that Senior Brother He was exposed? But it doesn't look like it.
"Who dares to be presumptuous here!" The girl scolded, and with a leap of her body, the person floated in mid-air, she drew the long sword in her hand, and slashed at the thundercloud with a wave of her hand.
"Sister be careful!" The eldest daughter saw that her sister was so reckless, and hurriedly went after her.
After Changning and the two left, she thought about it for a while, and quickly returned to the Gu house, and I don't know how many harmful things were put in this crockpot, but it was still burned. Changning summoned the peachwood sword, and was about to release the true fire of the sun, and saw the green light in the black clouds again, this time she saw clearly that the green light was also a crockpot, which looked no different from other crockpots, but Changning couldn't see what was inside with his spiritual eyes. She hesitated for a moment, put the crockpot into the storage bracelet, popped out a few more points of sun real fire, and went to find He Yinglin. They had agreed before, if something happened, they would meet in the cave of the Medicinal Tea Ancestor, and the second layer of prohibition was limited to boys and girls under the age of fifteen, which was enough to ensure their safety.
