We followed the insects and the young people called "Ali" and "Ah Can" over the mountains and mountains, over the dangerous beach, nine bends and eighteen bends, until the sky was about to dark, and then we came to a very secret village.

The inhabitants of the stockade looked at us strangely, and then talked to the insects affectionately, cooing that they did not understand the meaning, and their cold eyes drifted around on us.

I stumbled through the stockade for another half an hour, until the night was thick. I just arrived in front of a bamboo building halfway up the mountain. Two pine oil lamps were hung at the head of the 'gate', and two strong men of forty or fifty years old guarded the 'gate', and when they saw the insects, they bowed respectfully and saluted, but they unceremoniously stopped us.

The insect looked back at us with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, my old man hasn't seen a foreign guest for more than ten years." Wait a moment, and I'll go in and say goodbye. ”

The Miao people have always rejected foreigners and do not marry 'friends', we can understand, so we nodded, sat down on the stone chair next to us with peace of mind, and waited patiently. The insects probably haven't seen their relatives for a long time, and they are also a little anxious, "oh oo

We waited for a long time, hungry and thirsty, and the worms still didn't come out. The two guards looked indifferent, like clay bodhisattvas in the temple, ignoring a few of us, let alone a cup of hot tea. It seems that the arrival of a few of us was not very welcome.

It wasn't until the starry sky that the insect jumped down the stairs, his face full of excitement: "It's done, it's done!" My old man has promised to help us! ”

Our hearts, which were originally sunk to the bottom, instantly jumped a little excited. Originally, looking at the indifferent attitude of the Bug people towards us, we thought that it would not be easy to convince them, so we silently typed the draft in our hearts, but we didn't expect it to be so smooth, which was really unexpected.

"Worm, why doesn't your face look so good?" Madstone noticed that something was wrong, and asked worriedly.

The insect smiled unnaturally: "I'm fine, I should have been dizzy from jolting on the bamboo raft just now, and I haven't eased up yet." ”

I took the insect's hand, and by the faint light of the lantern, I noticed that her palms were cold, her head was covered with a layer of fine sweat, and her pulse was beating rapidly, and she looked a little weak.

"Worm, you do look a little weak, is it embarrassing for you?"

The insect "hehe" smiled: "Although the old man of my family has a strange temper, he likes to murder me." But it hurts me the most, where will it be difficult for me. After speaking, he changed the topic and greeted the two cold-faced clay sculpture Miao people at the entrance of the 'door': "It's already so late, hurry up and arrange for a few of my friends to eat and rest." ”

The Miao man was ordered to go down and start arranging. The insect said to me with some embarrassment: "Qing, my old man wants to see you." ”

I was a little surprised: "See me alone? ”

The bug nodded, as if feeling a little guilty.

"Worm, didn't you mention the existence of this son to your old man? He probably wants to see me the most, right? Madstone said critically, seemingly dissatisfied.

The insect reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "My old man should just want to see the truth of the Candle Dragon Order, why are you so troublesome?" ”

Each of us could see that the bugs must have something to hide from us, but I didn't want to debunk it, so I smiled and asked, "How do I go up?" ”

The insect turned around and pointed to the stairs and said, "Go up to the second floor, turn right and the third room is." ”

I followed the guidance of the insects, and went up the creaking stairs, the lights in the bamboo building were dim, the shadows were swaying, and I felt a sense of horror about strange things, and I always felt that something was wriggling in the corner of the wall or in the dark shadow of the roof, and it would rush towards me at any time, and I would be careful under my feet.

Suddenly, my ankles tightened, and a cold, slippery feeling crawled up against my little 'legs'. Without thinking, I took out the lore from my wrist, shot like electricity, and with a pick, a silver snake wrapped around my ankle was broken into two, and it shrank unwillingly on the ground.

The ground sounded under my feet, and by the faint light, I looked down at the stairs under my feet, densely packed with 'colored' colorful spiders, all the size of tea cups, crawling from the back of the stairs towards my position.

Although this thing is not as disgusting as the 'flesh' worms, but looking at the grimace 'flower' pattern on their back, they are all highly poisonous, and they can't get close to them, and they don't love to fight at the moment, so they fly up and walk along the handrail, landing on the second floor slab.

As soon as my toes hit the ground, and before I could stand firmly, there were several black shadows, fluttering their wings, "squeaking" and screaming, and swooping towards me.

No matter how good I am, I can't compare to this winged rat-faced pickled guy. Therefore, he did not dodge or dodge, and the silver needle in his hand 'shot' out, killing all those vampire bats to the ground.

A large swarm of spiders took advantage of this gap and all "rustled" around me. I reached into my arms, took out a bottle of 'potion', and poured it into a lit oil lamp in my hand. Instead of extinguishing the oil lamp, a large puff of smoke rose into the air, and a pungent smell of burnt and pungent instantly diffused.

When the ghost-faced spider on the ground smelled such a smell, it immediately retreated in panic, as if it was drunk, and staggered, even though it had eight 'legs', it looked like it was unsteady on its feet.

"Come back." There was a loud sound in the third room, and it should be the old man of the bugs.

As soon as the words fell, the spiders everywhere seemed to wake up in an instant, and dispersed like a 'tide' of water.

It seems to me mysterious and incredible that I can break the 'confusion' and 'confusion' of my poisonous 'medicine' and my poisonous insects with just one sentence without relying on any carrier, and instantly obey his orders and act according to his words.

"Uncle's deworming technique is really admired by the younger generation, but this hospitality is a little peculiar and difficult to compliment." I raised my voice neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Haha, you 'girl' baby is very sharp. If I don't test your ability, how can I rest assured that I will cooperate with you? "The old man's hearty laughter and outspoken speech made me feel good.

"Is the uncle satisfied with the result of the temptation?"

"Not satisfied!" The old man was categorical.

"Why?" I'm a little suspicious, I obviously relied on my own strength to retreat his Gu worms, and tried not to kill them all, could it be that he felt sorry for the silver ring that I killed?

"First, I tried to test you with a poisonous snake, and your reaction was swift and swift, and your actions were neat and crisp, but the method used was not advisable. If I say, what if I poison the tarsal bones in the blood of the viper? ”

I smiled with relief: "So that's what my uncle meant." But I'm sorry, the younger generation knows that Miaojiang is rainy, and this trip to Miaojiang will inevitably meet with the Bodhi Sect soldiers, so the clothes I wear are the fabric made by my Su family, which is not soaked in water, so I don't need to worry about the poison of the tarsal bones. ”

"Oh?" The voice of the old man inside was obviously a little surprised: "It seems that the old man is staying at home and has shallow knowledge." ”

In the face of the arrogant old man, I only need to show my true skills, and I don't need to be humble. He only smiled slightly and asked, "Then Uncle is relieved to cooperate with Qing?" ”

"Don't worry," the old man immediately retorted: "The benevolence of the 'woman' is a big taboo, you can obviously kill all my Gu worms with one blow to prevent future troubles, why do you have to show mercy to your subordinates, only use a silver needle that has been quenched with soft tendons." You must know that to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself, and you should not give the other party any chance to fight back. The old man continued.

I pondered for a moment before I had the courage to say word by word: "Uncle has taught me a very good lesson. However, the thief and the king, Gu worm was not guilty of anything, and what needed to be punished was the person behind the curtain who '' him, and I wanted to retain my strength and deal a fatal blow to the real enemy. ”

The old man was slightly stunned, and then laughed happily: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being your master's apprentice, whether it is wit or courage, the old man appreciates it." Come on, show Miss Eleven tea. ”

As soon as the words fell, someone came over with a tea tray, held the teacup on the tea tray in both hands and handed it to me, and then retreated. I held it in my hand and played with it left and right.

"Why don't you drink it?" The old man seemed to be extremely aware of my every move, and asked aloud.

I knew that my every move must have been secretly watched by him, so I only smiled slightly: "I only like to drink clear tea, and I can't get used to drinking tea soup with too many things added to it." ”

"Hehe, I think I'm poisonous, colorless, tasteless, and formless, how do you see it?" Sounds like a voice that is interested in me.

"Originally, my uncle's Gu poison was indeed colorless, tasteless, and difficult to identify, but my uncle shouldn't have added it to the tea, which ruined the clarity and redness of the tea soup. Moreover, this tea is not hot, it is obviously prepared in advance, so it can be seen that there must be a greasy. ”

"Papapa" sounded three applause, and heard the "door" of the third room "squeak" open, and the sound of a wooden wheel turning sounded. An old man with gray hair pushed a wheelchair out of the room and looked me up and down again.

"What if I say, 'You have to drink this tea?'

I curled the corners of my lips slightly, and said calmly: "Then ask my uncle to tell me why I have to drink." ”

The old man squinted his eyes and asked instead of answering: "You may be able to see what is added to this tea soup?" ”

I shook my head: "Forgive the younger generation for not being 'fine' in learning, and I can't see it with my clumsy eyes." ”

The old man smiled slightly: "Connecting the heart and the same fate Gu!" ”

"Heart-to-heart Gu?" I was shocked, and naturally I had heard of this rare Gu poison that was almost lost. As the name suggests, after the Heart and Fate Gu descended on the two people, these two people would die and die together, and they would lose both. If one of them suffers misfortune, the other will also be 'killed'.

In the past, in Miaojiang, I heard that there were couples who loved each other deeply and would take the Lianxin Tongfu Gu, which had the meaning of life and death, but later for various reasons, this Gu poison was lost.

Thinking of the sweaty body and pale face of the insect in the right place, my heart was shocked: "Could it be that the person who lives and dies with me is an insect?!" ”
