The child king took me up to the small attic on the second floor of the ancestral hall, lying on the floor, looking down through the railing.

"I usually eavesdrop on my father's deliberations, and that's right here."

"Your father is the patriarch?"

"yes, yes."

I gave him a whole packet of kumquats: "Eat slowly, I have other flavors." ”

He couldn't be happy: "My sister is so good." It would be better if you could come often. There was no guest all year, not even a new partner. ”

"Shhhh......h

In the hall of the ancestral hall sat the patriarch, two men and one woman among the other three patriarchs, and an aunt.

One person said: "I really didn't expect that insect corpse to have a miraculous effect on boils and carbuncles." A large pustule that grows on the back can be pulled out by applying it, and it will heal very quickly. Now we have mixed camellia oil and jasmine dew to make it into "insect fat cream", which is fragrant. ”

Another added: "Not only that. Since the beginning of the old year, it has also been found that this ointment can also be used for red wounds. Apply it, you are not afraid to get it in raw water, and it can definitely prevent festering. ”

Aunt sizzled: "Really? ”

The elder grandmother took over: "Naturally, take it seriously. That's what our kids did last night, and you've seen it just now, and the wound on the knee is half healed. ”

My aunt thought for a moment: "If it really has a good effect on red wounds, then this medicine may be of great use." ”

Hearing this, I quickly looked at my elbow. Hey——, it's really as they say, and it works very quickly.

The patriarch said: "This recipe has been used in our village for five or six years, and it will never be wrong. ”

My aunt asked, "How many boxes can be produced now, according to the size of the rouge box?" ”

The rest of the people snapped their fingers and silently calculated: "Almost...... Almost three hundred boxes. This thing, it can hold it. ”

My aunt said, "Yes, that's all." However, the name is a little sparse, so it is better to change the name to "skin cream". ”

The condensed skin is as bright as snow, and the color is as clear as a god.

The rest applauded.

At this time, the child king whispered in my ear: "Not only that, but there is a miracle effect, why don't they mention it positively...... This paste can be used by both men and women, and rubbed in the exact place can avoid children. ”

I looked at him with a confused expression. It's not that I'm deliberately pretending to be ignorant, it's just that the role needs it now.

And this "role", I should have been in for a long time.

In the second half of the morning, the patriarch led our group to the back hill of the village.

The back mountain is the "Lonely Girl Ridge", a single peak of the Lonely Ridge Fuyunjian.

Very few followers followed, and only three cronies were chosen. Basically, every time I go out of the palace with my aunt, I can see the three of them. There were a few villagers carrying a boar on a wooden pole.

The child king also came, leading the way with his father, holding a bamboo pole and knocking and knocking, probing everywhere.

The mountainside is full of small flowers.

There are sorrel grasses, and there are mountain chrysanthemums of various colors. I like the creamy white and light purple ones the most, and they are so cute to look at.

I chose the best flowers, broke them off with the stems, and took them together. Then he picked up some dried flowers and vines, made them into a basket with handles, and planted the flowers in the blue.

Thus, a graceful little flower basket was born!

I held it in front of my aunt with an innocent smile: "Auntie, the flower basket that Su'er sent you~"

My aunt looked surprised, and quickly took it, stroked my head, and stroked the corners of my purple mouth.

She said, "If only you had to be so good all the time." ”

I took her arm and leaned closer, silent.

She asked again, "Do you complain about your aunt?" ”

I lowered my eyes and teased, "Auntie feels that she hasn't brought a child for ten years, and she wants to make up for it." Instead, I made up for what I lacked first. ”

The aunt laughed and immediately brought pity: "Good boy, if you can understand your aunt, your aunt will also feel pleased." Just like yesterday, you said that if you don't fight, you can't do it. ”

I took my aunt's gaze with my gaze, expressed my approval, and obeyed.

Getting some understanding and communication made my aunt feel good, and the whole person's charm was different.

All the way to the top of the mountain, my legs were straight and sore.

Under the Pantuo stone facing west, a cave appeared.

The entrance to the cave is not large, and there is a mountain stream with gurgling water. After stepping past it, a dozen steps inside, and then it was completely dark.

The prepared torches were lit, and the small insects that had been dead for a long time in the cobwebs accidentally burned crackled.

The cave is cold, the air is closed, and you can smell all kinds of rot. After walking for a while, I saw that there was a cave inside. It's like a thin-skinned hemp dumpling that I've eaten, and it's so swollen.

Stone pillars like large ice cubes stretched out overhead, lined up one after another.

Then the big hole was covered with a small hole, and three different cave openings appeared. I don't know what they hide and where they lead.

A mouse squeaked and ran into the hole on the right. My aunt said, not on the right.

In the end, I chose the one on the left that looked the darkest.

The front seemed to be full of unknowns, so I walked very slowly, knocking on the bamboo pole and moving forward.

The further you go inside, the thinner the air becomes, and the light is not as bright as before.

A corpse with green hair lay in front of me, and I screamed in shock!

My aunt quickly covered my eyes.

The patriarch said, "Huh? Who's this...... There are no missing people in the village, who actually sneaked into our village and came to this cave. ”

Then they stirred the clothes of the dead body with bamboo poles, but they all rotted into mud, and when the pole was smashed, it shattered.

I saw only a silver waist card, which was accepted by the entourage.

Further on, there are scattered human bones, which have been weathered for a long time.

A bend in the cave is a structure like a round cave door in Su's garden, but it is rough and uneven. Across the stone ridge, the ground was a dark river, two feet wide. The water was so clear that there was not a single insect at the bottom of the water.

Soon a "wall" came in front of you, and the rungs were in front of you.

The patriarch went over and picked at it, and said with certainty, "Yes, it's this thing." ”

I see, it's a "worm".

Then he hurriedly ordered the villagers to put down the pork they had brought, pointed to the stone and said, "Quick, get back there!" Get back there! When the worm smells of living creatures, it will awaken in a hundred numbers. ”

……

I knew that I, as the "key," was going to suffer.

My aunt covered my eyes again and called her attendants to me.

"Well, bear with me, soon."

I gritted my teeth, restrained my grievances, and was pierced in the earlobe by a long needle.

It seemed to squeeze out a lot, and then they dipped their fingers in the blood cup and wiped one on the back of each of their left and right hands.

Rustling, squirming, squirming......

Like the sound of a pile of sand toppling, countless insect feet began to move, and they broke apart from the state of hugging a wall, rolling and scattering to the ground. And then, like a black sandstorm, swept away the dead pig on the ground!

Feast, the wind and clouds! Everywhere he passed, he turned into white bones, and he saw that a huge boar had eaten his head.

I was so scared that I said, "Are they enough to eat?" Are you too hungry to recognize my blood as your master?! ”

My aunt patted me and pointed to the attendants in front of me, "Let's bring the alum liquid." ”

Then a magical scene occurred......

After the insects gnawed the boar from head to toe, its attack power suddenly weakened. One by one, it seemed like a pot-bellied Maitreya, but it slowly poured into front of us, sniffed the smell from the front row, and after it was determined, it turned around and went back!

If the other insects were ordered, they also "returned to the camp" one after another, and obeyed the order to lean on both sides of the road and make way for a way.

"Wow, that's amazing." The child king sighed.

The patriarch said, "This worm really recognizes the Lord,! The blood of this person is also strange, and it has to be blood. I only heard about it before, but today I can see it. With their numbers, I'm afraid I'll eat all of us. ”

My aunt sighed and said, "This method of incubating eggs with blood is now only known to Aunt Yuan. ”

Aunt Mei said: "I think Aunt Yuan still loves the adult, it's not her who is in charge of replacing the previous batch of old ones with this batch of new insects, and replacing the blood master." This cave will not be able to enter for many years. ”

The patriarch said, "How to replace this, there is more doorway." ”

Aunt Ling Ling said: "The time is right." A new worm has not hatched for decades, and if this last batch of eggs is left unattended, the worm will become extinct. ”

Doubts arose in my heart, "Blood Master", so the previous Blood Lord should not be alive, right?

It must be that the blood lord has hidden something in this cave, and then uses the worm as the "lock" and his own blood as the "key".

Later, the person may have died, and the key was lost......

As he spoke, he had reached the deepest part of the cave. On a stone table, there is a copper box.

Picking up the lock with an axe, my aunt told us to stand back. She was the only one who turned the lid to see it.

I squinted and vaguely saw that there was an edict inside, a tiger talisman?

No, no, it looks like a bunny......

Then I was shocked, could this be the "Silver Talisman"!

I read it in the imperial study - "In the second year of Taizu, the bamboo talisman was stopped, and the Banyin talisman was used to send troops."

Can...... Now that the soldier talisman has been changed to the tiger talisman, what is the use of this silver talisman?

I continued to peek, and in addition to that, there was another token that I didn't know how.

My aunt briefly flipped through it, lifted the copper box, and said with an unpredictable look, "Go back." ”
