PS: Codeword is a hard but happy thing, every word, the characters in the pen are more vivid, the sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously, and the weekend is happy!
"Wuling Clan?" Luo Chen gently patted Mu Mingxue's shoulder with his hand, signaling that she didn't need to be afraid.
"Young Master Luo actually knows about the Wuling Clan? I thought no one would remember this little group for a long time. Bai Ying exclaimed as she stroked the Gu worm perched on her arm with her hand. Mu Mingxue took a closer look, and the Gu worm actually stayed on Bai Ying's arm safely, letting her fiddle with it, motionless, and seemed to be quite docile, so she relaxed a little and asked, "Gu Master, how can you have this Gu worm?" ”
Bai Ying knocked on the bottom of the box, and the Gu worm slowly crawled back into the box peacefully. Bai Ying continued to take a pot of tea and explained, "This is the talisman Gu worm that I raised in the Wuling Clan when I was fifteen years old. I think this talisman Gu worm, Luo Gongzi should also know about it. ”
Luo Chen nodded and responded, "Yes, I do know." It is rumored that the Wuling clan has become a habit of raising Gu and is also proficient in witchcraft, but it is only for women. And once the girl of the Wuling clan reaches the age of fifteen, she will raise a Gu worm to protect herself, the Gu worm usually stays in the five-star box in the hands of the valley master, once the owner is in danger, the Gu worm will desperately protect the master until she dies. But Gu Master, how did you get from the Medicine Immortal Valley to the Wuling Clan? ”
Bai Ying took a sip of tea and spoke eloquently. It turned out that when she was thirteen years old, in order to study the various forms of medicine thoroughly, she asked the old valley lord to allow her to leave the Medicine Immortal Valley in order to find the witch Gu method recorded in the book. After traveling south for several months, Bai Ying found the Wuling clan where witchcraft was prevalent, and exchanged the advanced medical skills in the Yaoxian Valley classics for the Wuling clan to teach her the method of witchcraft. The old wizard of the clan touched Bai Ying's arm and said that she would wait two more years before she could learn Gu arts. Because the clan stipulates that a woman must be fifteen years old before she can learn Gu art, Bai Ying stayed there for two whole years, until the day she turned fifteen, the old wizard personally taught her how to raise Gu and tame Gu, but the old wizard also put forward a condition, that is, Bai Ying could not teach the Wuling clan Gu art to the second person, otherwise she would be retributed by the Gu worms.
"In the two years I stayed in the Wuling Clan, it was not all fruitless, I observed them every day, and found that Gu art is only a small part of the mastery of their tribesmen, and the witchcraft method is amazing, the so-called control and use of spirit and qi, even if I grew up in the Medicine Immortal Valley, I know these existences, but I can't see the reality with my own eyes. That's why I learned that you can only find the answer if you go there, Holy Maiden. ”
After Bai Ying finished speaking, she immediately grabbed Mu Mingxue's hand, and the needle in the cuff quickly pierced Mu Mingxue's finger, and blood gushed out in an instant.
"Valley Lord, this is," Mu Mingxue asked in surprise.
Bai Ying didn't rush to answer, but placed Mu Mingxue's bleeding finger on the night star of the five-star box, the Gu worm smelled qi and blood, and immediately drilled out of the box, and the next moment it hungrily sucked the blood on her finger.
Mu Mingxue frowned slightly, but did not retract her fingers, because she knew that Bai Ying must have her reasons for doing this.
"Holy Maiden, rest assured, my talisman Gu worm has not been fed for half a year, and the talisman Gu worm must be fed with the blood of its master once a month to ensure its loyalty. I let it suck your blood, and it will be your talisman from now on. If you take it on the road, the people of the Wuling clan will not be embarrassed by you. ”
Not long after finishing speaking, Bai Ying motioned to Mu Mingxue to tap the bottom of the box and said, "From now on, it will only obey you." Mu Mingxue knocked on the bottom of the box in the same way as Bai Ying, and sure enough, although the Gu worm was not yet full, it also obediently burrowed back into the five-star box.
"I'll leave this to you. May it help you on your way. Mu Mingxue accepted the five-star box, and before she could speak, she saw Bai Ying take out another bottle, "This is the Hua Ming Pill that I have carefully prepared in the Medicine Immortal Valley for so many years, although it is not a panacea, but it can also be used to expel poison and dispel stasis and clear the heart, you can bring it to make me feel at ease." In addition, this is the location of the Wuling clan that I drew from memory, although so many years have passed, I still remember the general direction, you have this, you can also save a lot of energy. ”
Mu Mingxue took Bai Ying's Hua Ming Dan and parchment one by one, her heart was full of gratitude and warmth, she couldn't express it, Bai Ying treated her like a father and mother, and considered Zhou Xiang for her everywhere, at this moment Mu Mingxue really didn't know how to speak, just hugged Bai Ying forward, Bai Ying was surprised at first, and then stroked Mu Mingxue's silver hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I only ask for your safety, not anything else, you will go out of the valley tomorrow morning." ”
Early the next morning, Mu Mingxue and Luo Chen came to the river outside the valley, and Qing Dai hurried to the river with the two brothers, Yu Jinyu and Li, shouting as they ran, "It's good to catch up, ho ho." Yu Jinyu's mother followed behind with a smile.
Yu Li pinched a small bag of baggage in his little hand, and smiled happily, "Sister Saintess, this is my favorite sugar cake, I asked my mother to start making it the day before yesterday, I heard Aunt Qingdai say that you are going to go far away, you take this road to relieve your hunger." ”
Mu Mingxue looked at his mother standing behind him and said, "Thank you." Yu Jin on the side was usually very aggressive, but when he saw Mu Mingxue, he became extremely shy, his little head had been trying to hide behind Qing Dai's sleeves, and his slightly flushed little face didn't dare to glance at Mu Mingxue. Seeing this, Luo Chen stepped forward and squatted in front of Yujin, "Yujin, didn't you say that you want to duel with me when you grow up in the future, why don't you even dare to face me today?" ”
"It's not that I dare to face you, it's," Yu Jin's voice was so small that he could only hear it by Luo Chen, who was closest to him.
"What is it? It can't be that you are shy when you meet the holy sister. Luo Chen happily teased Yujin.
"It's not." After speaking, Yu Jin took out a small wooden figure from his arms, but the little face still didn't dare to show from behind Qing Dai, and his voice suddenly became louder, "This is the Holy Sister I carved, I hope you like it, Sister Holy Maiden!" ”
Mu Mingxue took the wooden statue, which was carved crookedly, and she could only identify it as a woman from a Luo skirt. Mu Mingxue smiled knowingly, squatted down, and said, "Thank you, Xiao Yujin, I like it." But you gave this to me, so what if you miss your sister in the future? ”
Yu Jin was silent for a while, and finally revealed his little face, and by the way, his two front teeth were exposed. "Hehe, I'll carve another one myself, I remember the appearance of the holy sister clearly, I can't forget it." Mu Mingxue was happy, touched Yu Jin's head, and then touched Yu Li's head, and said: "You two brothers should listen to your mother's words at home, and you should also listen to Aunt Qingdai's words and study medicine well." If I come back and know that you are disobedient and do not work, I will ignore you again. Yu Jinyu Li nodded violently and said, "Then Sister Saintess, you have to come back soon." ”
Mu Mingxue suddenly turned straight and looked at them, "Sister will definitely come back." ”
"Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, you should hurry up and get on the road, otherwise you will not be able to get out of the valley before dark. The valley lord said that she would not come, and I hope you will take good care of yourself. Shui Su came from a distance and explained.
Mu Mingxue nodded, turned around and got into the wooden boat with Luo Chen. The person in charge of the pulp is Ma Bao, who is specially responsible for sending the people in the valley out of the valley, known as Uncle Ma, and Ma Bao's son Ma Shu stands at the stern of the boat. Mu Mingxue took one last look at Yaoxian Gu and Shui Su, Qingdai and them, and then entered the canopy.
