Chapter Seventy-Eight: Seedlings and Worms
Unfortunately, I made another mistake, and after I was shrouded by the extremely tenacious 'sex' vine, before I could breathe for a moment, there were immediately 'colored' snakes climbing along the trunk of the tree, gradually approaching me, and the 'yin' cold little eyes flashed with excitement.
Turning his head to look at the coachman, he was trapped in the vines, struggling with all his strength, and several snakes were slowly approaching him.
What a powerful mechanism! Not only did I secretly sigh, this tomb forest was full of poisonous miasma and Gu worms inside, and with these ubiquitous mechanisms, it could be said to be impregnable! How many people in this world can escape this barrage of attacks? Even if you dodge, you don't know how dangerous it is to continue inward. If there is really no return.
"Be careful, there is a poisonous snake on the right!" I shouted at the driver. Fortunately, his arms were not tied, and he reacted quickly, and his hands rose and fell.
Without further ado, I didn't have time to think about it, so I pulled out my wrist and slashed the vines that bound me, and cleaned up the venomous snakes that were eyeing me. He did not dare to delay, but jumped in front of the coachman, and with his sword in his hand, he cut off the vines that bound him.
I know that the trees are not a place to stay for long, and there must be many dangers, and if you are not careful, there may be other organs or poisonous insects. As he patrolled around vigilantly, he cursed in a low voice, "Where did you get so many damn bugs?" ”
As soon as the words fell, an unhappy voice not far away said, "Who is scolding me?" ”
I followed the sound and saw a girl in a green 'colored' dress on a large tree in front of me, tightly bound to the trunk of the tree by the vines, and turned her head to look at me, sleepy-eyed, and I didn't know if she had just woken up or had been watching the excitement for a long time. Because her clothes were a little close to the leaves, I didn't even notice her just now.
I don't know friend or foe, I don't dare to open my mouth.
She let out a strange "huh" and glanced at the snakes and Gu worms on the ground: "If you can break into here, it seems that you must be a fellow believer." ”
I didn't understand the mystery of her words, neither admitted nor denied it, and remained silent.
"Hey!" She called me very unceremoniously: "Were you scolding me just now?" ”
"Please, I'm running for my life, where can I scold you?" With a knife in his hand, he cut a red and emerald green 'flower' pattern poisonous snake into two sections, and only then did he 'draw' his time to return.
She looked incredulously at the vine on the tree that I had cut off, and her eyes lit up, and in an instant it seemed as if a star was shining under her eye.
"I distinctly hear someone scolding the damn bug." She muttered quietly.
Listening to her speak, the accent was a little strange, and it was very stiff, as if she was reciting to the master one by one.
I couldn't help but look at her carefully, and the dress was a little weird, or a little 'exposed'. It is different from our usual wide-sleeved Luo skirt, which is more similar to what it wears when riding a horse, with short sleeves and colorful silk threads embroidered with strange 'flower' patterns. And if we are wearing short skirts, we must have long 'pants' on the lower body. And the arms and legs of this young 'girl' Ruxue are 'naked' and 'exposed', and there are cumbersome 'flower' patterns tattooed on them, which are not very real, and vaguely seem to be the pattern of the five poisons.
Although she was born delicate and delicate, well-behaved and cute, she really didn't dare to compliment this dress, and even an unruly person like me felt that it was immoral, and there was an evil spirit.
In such a terrifying dense forest, when you suddenly see a little girl in her twenties and eights, do you think she is a delicate and delicate doll who does not know the world? She still looks harmless and ignorant.
I didn't want to entangle with her, so I turned to the coachman and said: "The tree is full of Gu worms, there is no way to retreat, in comparison, I can barely support this tree for a while, but your poison is urgent, do you have any way to contact Liang Ci?" ”
The coachman shook his head: "It's remote here, and it's not necessarily useful to send a signal, but it's easy to startle snakes." If you can go out, leave me alone. ”
"Hey!" She called me very unceremoniously: "Let's make a pen 'trade', right?" I'll help you escape. ”
I looked up at her: "Do 'trade' with me, and also see what you are capable of." ”
The little girl didn't seem to hear me look down on her like this, so she said angrily: "Hmph! If I didn't look at you well, I wouldn't bother to care about you. ”
I couldn't help but feel funny: "A person who can be trapped by a few vines is so angry." ”
The little girl was instantly unhappy: "What do you mean by a few tree vines?" This is the toughest iron vine! Sharp axes are constantly chopping. How else would I be stuck here for a day and a night? ”
This little girl seems to have some knowledge, and I felt quite laborious when I had just cut the vine with the lore, and I was strange at the time, thinking that I had weakened my hands and feet, and had no strength.
My heart moved, and I continued to 'provoke' her: "You just brag, it's still a day and a night, and you've already been gnawed clean by poisonous insects." ”
Although the little girl was arrogant, she didn't seem to have much scheming, and said disdainfully: "These little insects naturally don't dare to be presumptuous in front of my seedlings and insects. Even if I slept with my eyes closed, they wouldn't dare come within three feet of me. ”
"Seedlings?" I asked, a little surprised.
The little girl nodded seriously: "Yes, my old man said that I was a worm, my name is Miao worm, and they all call me a little lazy worm." ”
I know that in some places in the south, my father is called an old man.
"Uh," I looked at her round body and green dress in astonishment, and felt like a 'fleshy' worm. No wonder she had mistaken me for scolding her.
I almost petrified: "Your old man's taste is so unique, why did you come up with such a weird name?" ”
The little girl called the worm scratched her hair embarrassedly: "My old man has been 'dealing' with insects all his life, and insects are the 'meat' of his heart, and it is easy to scream." ”
I couldn't help but feel a chill, and suddenly remembered that before I entered the forest, the old man had said that there was a little girl wandering around the grave forest and not knowing where to go. A single person can escape the attacks of those poisonous insects, especially those moths that are overwhelming, and break into the forest, it must not be a simple person.
"You want me to cut the vines for you?" I asked tentatively.
The little girl nodded sheepishly.
I didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "If you want me to save you, first promise me three conditions." ”
"No wonder my old man said that you Han people are the most greedy and 'treacherous', and it is true. I'm just asking you to help me cut off the vines on my body, and it's not fair at all that you take the opportunity to put forward three conditions. "The little girl flashed a pair of big round eyes, her eyes rolled in a circle, and her rosy lips pursed, and she looked 'fine' and strange.
"You Hans?" I looked her up and down and asked uncertainly, "Are you the 'daughter' of the Miao family?" ”
The little girl snorted softly in her nostrils: "You are different from those Han 'women' with eyes on the top of their heads." ”
I naturally understood what she meant, the Han people call themselves a country of etiquette, and from the bottom of their hearts, they look down on those remote and uncivilized minority tribes. Especially the Miao 'girl' is bold, enthusiastic, and spicy, and the daughters who have been poisoned by etiquette and religion are regarded as shameless, and her dress must have been looked down upon.
The master told me about what she saw and heard in Miao Jiang, and I naturally did not have these prejudices, but greatly appreciated the straightforwardness of Miao 'girl', and dared to love and hate.
"It's not just about cutting a few vines, it's about saving your life. Besides, the ground is densely covered with your Miaojiang Gu worms, who knows if it has anything to do with you. Do you think I'm going to put you down just right? I said tentatively.
The little girl pursed her lips with extreme disdain: "I don't care about these dirty and harmful things of the Heimiao family, which damages my identity." If I hadn't promised the old man to help his Han friend, I wouldn't have been too lazy to come here. ”
Hearing her say this, I was half relieved: "You mean to say that you came here to track down these Gu worms, right?" Can you heal those who fall for the Gu? ”
The little girl shook her head honestly: "No. ”
I shrugged in utter disappointment.
"Hey, will you put me down first?" The little girl softened: "At least, I can take you out." ”
"I never said I wanted to go out," I want to know more clues about this forest, to see what it has to do with the Bodhi Sect, this little girl should know a lot of secrets about it: "If I want to go out, I have a way, what I want is to destroy these harmful Gu worms, heal the poison on my friend's body, and, accompany us to find the murderer behind the breeding of Gu worms and the use of Gu poison to harm people, just these three conditions, for you, it should be effortless." ”
The little girl pouted and thought about it for a long time, then hesitated: "I also want to go in and have a look, but they have too many people, and I am worried that the three of us are not their opponents." ”
"Crowded?" I was surprised and said, "Is there really anyone in there?" Have you seen them? ”
The little girl shook her head: "No, but last night, in the middle of the night, when I was on the third watch, I heard someone screaming in the forest, one after another, the sound was particularly penetrating, and the 'hairy' was terrifying." There must be a lot of people among them. I think it's better to wait for me to move in to rescue the soldiers, and it's not too late to act. ”
This little girl looks very smug and has no scheming, but she didn't expect to be thoughtful and thoughtful.
I came all the way over, and I suspected that there must be ghosts in the forest, and the little girl's words confirmed my guess even more: "I have long heard that there are people in the forest who always pretend to be gods and 'play' ghosts, so they 'make' mysteries, I'm afraid it's just to scare people, and I don't want people to approach here, right?" ”
The little girl shook her head: "It's okay to tell you, I can sense it, it's definitely not pretending to be a god 'trick' ghost, I'm afraid that someone is using Gu worms to raise Gu poisoners here." ”
"Huh?" I couldn't help but be surprised: "I've seen Gu poisonous people, with terrifying faces, and they are not afraid of death, which is indeed a headache." Didn't you become a poison person after being poisoned by the tarsal bone? Still need to bother to raise? ”
The little girl looked at me curiously: "You even know the tarsal bones, and it seems that they are not 'exposed'." But what you're talking about isn't a real Gu poisoner at all. After the Gu poison person is trained, he is an immortal body, without his own thinking ability, and is completely controlled by the Gu mother, or the person who is under the Gu '', with one enemy and one hundred, heroic and invincible. ”
