Chapter 413: Enter the village
Seeing his frightened and crampy expression, I hurriedly comforted, "Don't worry, Yin spirits are also good and bad, and you can't compare ordinary ghosts with Xiao Ni." ”
Song Yuan wiped his cold sweat and nodded, but he couldn't help but retreat under his feet, as if he was going to keep a certain safe distance from me, and then said, "Brother Ye, you are so good, when can you teach me such skills?" ”
I laughed dumbly, shook my head and said, "It's not a good thing, to be honest, I never thought about stepping into this industry, and it's a mistake to get to where I am today." ”
He sighed, looked at me cautiously and said, "Brother Ye, do you have any troubles?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, then came back to my senses and said, "It's okay, let's keep walking, how far is it ahead?" "I'm not a person who likes to feel sorry for myself, since God has arranged this path for me to go on, then I'll continue to walk, happy is a day, unhappy is also a day, in this case, why hold on to unhappy things?
"There are still ten miles ahead, by the way, Brother Ye, you must be careful on the road, I don't have Bao Weng's Gu powder, and I can't dispel the poisonous snakes on the side of the road."
I wondered, "Are there a lot of poisonous snakes on this road?" He smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Yes, Bao Weng said that there was no before, but since the high priest of Miao Village took power, Heili Miao Village has been completely isolated from the world, in order to prevent strangers from entering the village, they have arranged a lot of poisonous snakes along the way, which can not only prevent outsiders from breaking in, but also prevent betrayers in the clan from escaping." ”
I couldn't help but sneer, I really should be cautious after doing so many immoral things, and then asked, "Are there often clansmen running away in the village?" Song Yuan nodded, "Yes, because the rule of the high priest is too bloody, everything is centered on him, completely ignoring the feelings of others, he even declared to his clan that he must sacrifice the goddess every year to pray for the protection of the mountain god, but in fact, ...... Those so-called 'goddesses' all ended up in his hands, and the end was very tragic. ”
Then he added, "And there are people like me, who were inadvertently caught inadvertently, without any ritual at all, and directly became the subject of the test, if it wasn't for Bao Weng secretly helping me in the past six months, I might only have a pile of white bones left." ”
He kept smiling wryly, his smile was very sad, and I nodded and stopped talking.
Songcha asked the clansmen to sacrifice a "goddess" every year, the purpose should be to use women to raise Gu, some Gu worms must be raised with virgin essence blood, such as love, Gu and other Gu things, I really can't imagine that this Songcha is really so cruel, even if he is cruel to foreigners, even his own people refuse to let go.
Walking down the way, we passed a small stream, through the creek is a forest, the terrain is very strange, the forest on the left is basically tall shrubs, covering the whole path, from the outside, this is an ordinary woods, but on the right is a row of very lush bamboo forests, we are going to take the path just under the bamboo forest.
Puzzled, I whispered, "Why is there so much bamboo in front of the entrance, it doesn't look like it grows naturally?" ”
Song Yuan shook his head and said that he didn't know, he was just about to speak, his eyes turned to the top of my head, suddenly his face changed, he instinctively grabbed my arm, and pulled at himself, I felt his hand tremble slightly, his expression was very scared, and he was even more puzzled, without waiting to ask, there was a sudden warning sound of the dragon spirit Gu "hissing" in his heart, and he felt that the dragon spirit Gu became very excited, and it wanted to come out.
It's an emotion that only comes from meeting food.
I immediately raised my head, turned to the top of my head, and when I looked at it, I quickly froze, only to see rows of poisonous snakes hanging above my head, all with their tails wrapped around dark green bamboo strips, their bodies as if swinging, their upper bodies maintaining a "bow" shape, their necks up, and looking at us with cold eyes.
It is a poisonous snake, and it is a highly poisonous bamboo leaf green in the southwest.
The "bamboo leaf green" in the forest hung upside down on the bamboo forest like chopsticks, and they all hung their necks to look at us, and they could barely see the head at a glance, and roughly estimated that there were not a hundred but eighty.
Song Yuan's face had turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "Bao Weng once reminded me that I must not trespass into the bamboo forest without her leading the way, it seems that ...... It's over, so many snakes, a random bite or two is enough to kill, it seems that we ...... Can't get out. ”
His words made me hook my eyebrows and sneered, "Don't be nervous, have you forgotten what I do?" ”
After saying that, I put my hand into the cloth bag I was carrying, took out a handful of sulfur powder, and sprinkled it with my hand, and the sulfur powder quickly spread in the air driven by the cold wind, and in a short time, the snakes surrounding us dispersed, and after a while, the kung fu disappeared.
Song Yuan asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Ye, are you ......?"
I whispered, "It's just ordinary insect repellent powder, I'm also a Gu master, how can I enter Miaojiang without any preparation, you take it, sprinkle these powders on your body, and the nearby snakes and insects won't dare to come close to you anymore." ”
After speaking, I handed all the remaining insect repellent powder to Song Yuan, Song Yuan took it with trembling hands, and asked again, "Brother Ye, don't you use it yourself?" ”
I smiled and said, "I don't need this, let's go, let's go into the stockade!" As we spoke, we had already walked a few dozen meters forward, and we could see a huge stone crack in the smooth stone wall.
This stone crack seems to be cracked out of the smooth stone wall halfway up the mountainside, which is obviously naturally formed, but there are many torches hanging on the inner wall of the cave entrance, which is estimated to have been set up by the people of Heili Miao Village to facilitate entry and exit.
Song Yuan pointed to the stone crevice submerged in the mountain, and whispered, "That's the entrance, the day before yesterday, Bao Weng and I just escaped from it." ”
I wondered, "Then why isn't it guarded?" Song Yuan explained, "The snakes, insects, rats and ants in this vicinity are guarded, there are so many poisonous insects guarding the entrance, they are not worried that people outside will break in, but although there are no living guards in this generation, there are many taboos in the village, you are an outsider, you don't know anyone after entering, and it is easy to be discovered." ”
I thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, send me here, your mission is over, go back to the cave and stay." ”
"No, I still have to go with you on the last stretch, and...... I'm also going to leave with Bao Weng. Song Yuan shook his head, showing a very serious expression, "Bao Weng was arrested because of me, I know how cruel these people's methods of treating 'traitors' are, maybe, maybe she is now, no matter what, I must take Bao Weng out!" ”
I was a little embarrassed, and whispered, "This matter can't be a child's play, you also said that there are many dangers in the stockade, you are an outsider like me, it is easy to be discovered, and you are still a 'fugitive' here, in case ......"
He insisted on it, shook his head very stubbornly and said, "Don't be afraid, Bao Weng is affected by me, no matter how I say it, I am a man, even if I want to die, I will definitely save people!" ”
"Good!" Although Song Yuan is just an ordinary person, his determination makes me admire him very much, and I can't help but glance at him.
