Chapter 219: Walk the talk

"I, I want to go back to Emei...... The happiest day of my life was in Emei...... I want you to bury me at the foot of Mount Emei......" Sun Huimin said, slowly closing her eyes??.? `?

"Okay, I promise you, I will definitely bring you back to Mount Emei." Zi Ling said in a deep voice.

Carrying Sun Huimin's body out of the stone house, he walked for a long time before he came across a small village.

I wanted to ask them if there was a coffin shop nearby, but the people in the stockade avoided it from a distance when they saw Zi Ling carrying a dead man with a blue face on his back.

Just as he was helpless, he suddenly heard an old call: "Little girl, please stay." ”

Zi Ling's heart suddenly burst out, and he subconsciously remembered the grouper essence before.

Is there a mistake, still coming? Is it really good to be a bully for my aunt and grandmother?

Zi Ling scolded secretly, grabbed the hilt of the Dustless Sword, turned around and said coldly, "What are you doing?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and his kind face froze. I just saw that this little girl was a foreigner and wanted to tell her to leave quickly, but why did she have a fierce expression like seeing an enemy?

But out of humanitarianism, the old man still didn't want to see death without help, so he didn't pay attention to Ziling's impoliteness, and continued to say to her: "Little girl, you are a foreigner, if there is nothing important, let's leave quickly." ”

Zi Ling looked the old man up and down. I saw that although his linen clothes were shabby, they were still clean, his hands as rough as pine bark trembled and trembling on crutches, and his muddy old eyes were full of concern.

This looks, it shouldn't be a monster, right? Zi Ling thought like this, so he let down his vigilance.

"Grandpa, why are the outsiders leaving? Is there anything wrong with this stockade? Zi Ling changed his previous cold tone and asked humbly.

"Alas......" the old man sighed and waved his hand: "Young man, don't ask so much, just leave if you have nothing to do." ”

This aroused Ziling's curiosity. She was going out to practice, and she naturally wouldn't let go of this kind of weird place. So he insisted: "Grandpa, just tell me, maybe I can help?" If you don't tell me, I won't leave. ”

"Okay. Since you insist on asking, then I'll tell you. The old man sighed helplessly, and slowly told what he knew.

Originally, this village was called Lanxi Village, and the river at the edge of the village was called Lanxi. Most of the people in the village are surnamed Lan, and their ancestors are still a family.

Due to the remoteness of the place, the people in the village have lived in isolation for generations, with an innate rejection of outsiders. Except for the occasional trip to a market town fifty miles away to exchange herbs for some necessities such as salt and cloth, and there is almost no contact with outsiders.

Lanxi Village is a pure Miao village. There are Gu techniques in the village that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Gu art has always been passed on to women and not to men. Therefore, if a family does not give birth to a daughter, then not only will the Gu art in the family lose its inheritance, but it will also be easy to be bullied.

However, God does not fulfill people's wishes, there are always some families who have given birth to more than a dozen sons without giving birth to daughters, and they are often ridiculed and ridiculed by their neighbors on weekdays, saying that the family has broken off the inheritance. I must have done something evil in my last life.

What should I do in this case?

After many cases of this situation, the people of Lanxi Village finally came up with a remedy. That is to catch some passing girls, erase their memories with Heartless Gu, and then lie that they are the girl's parents and bring them to the house to raise as daughters.

There is a conventional rule in the village, that is, when this kind of thing happens, no one will tell the girl the truth. If anyone tells the girl the truth, it will be seen as immoral, destroying someone else's family, and will be spurned by the whole village. There will even be retaliation from the girl's adoptive parents.

Speaking of this, the old man looked Ziling up and down, and said, "Little girl, you have a good appearance. Maybe someone has already set their sights on you. ”

Zi Ling was shocked into a cold sweat after hearing this. Heartless Gu? What is this thing? If a person forgets who he is, what is the difference between him and the walking dead?

As if sensing the master's anxiety, Xiao Feng crawled out of the Shenmu Wang Ding tied around Ziling's waist, and opened his mouth to comfort: "Master, don't panic, isn't it just a heartless Gu?" I want to see which Gu worm dares to harm my master. ”

The old man followed the voice and looked at Xiaofeng. Suddenly, his face changed, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looked at it carefully for a moment, and exclaimed, "Oh my God, is this the long-lost Golden Silkworm Gu?" I've lived for such a long time, I've only heard of it in rumors, and it's the first time I've seen someone raise a Golden Silkworm Gu with my own eyes! Even the most qualified goddess in the village has never raised a golden silkworm Gu in her life! ”

"Hmph, I don't know the old man, my master is amazing, where can you compare with the goddess of your village." Xiaofeng said disdainfully.

"Yes, yes, what the Golden Silkworm Immortal said." The old man nodded and said.

In the legends of these Miao people, the Golden Silkworm Gu is the most grudgeful, and if you provoke the Golden Silkworm Gu, the whole family will suffer, so they have to be treated politely.

Zi Ling lightly pressed Xiao Feng's head with his fingers, stuffed it back into the Shenmu Wang Ding, and then bowed his hand to the old man: "I'm sorry just now, Xiao Feng is such a character." ”

The old man waved his hand again and again: "It's okay, it's a spiritual thing between heaven and earth, and it's normal to be proud." ”

Zi Ling smiled: "Thank you for your understanding." Excuse me, are there any coffin shops and cloth shops around here? I want to order a coffin for this friend of mine, and I want to buy myself a set of clothes. ”

The old man thought for a while and said, "The coffin is laid, and it is in the northernmost part of the village. But there was no cloth village, and the people in the village all went to the mountains to collect medicine, and then took it to the town fifty miles away in exchange for cloth to make their own clothes. ”

Zi Ling was slightly disappointed. Wearing this animal skin was so eye-catching that it made her feel uncomfortable walking on the road.

But fortunately, it's good to be able to order a coffin. Otherwise, when Sun Huimin's body is decomposed, he doesn't know what to do.

If you promise someone else, you must do it, this is what my sister told me since I was a child. So no matter what, I have to bury Sun Huimin's body under Mount Emei.

After thanking the old man, Ziling walked to the northernmost part of the village. Along the way, many people pointed at her and looked at her with a very strange look.

Zi Ling ignored them. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke themselves, they won't ask for trouble. If you are willing to discuss, let them go. (To be continued.) )
