A week after Mia's death, Grandma took over the position of patriarch and took over Aunt May, who remained in the cave. Goodbye Aunt Mei, I found that there were more vicissitudes on her face. Going around and around, she still stayed with her grandmother all the time.

When Zhuang Yu came to find Sheng Shiyao, I had a premonition that he was going to say something, and sure enough, he proposed that the matter here was over, and it was time to leave for the bottom of Fuxian Lake in Yunnan. Sheng Shiyao thought silently for a moment, then nodded, and agreed to leave on the same day.

I talked to my grandmother that night, and she and Aunt Mei were no longer with us, and would stay in the valley for the time being. The people of the Yan tribe are now leaderless, and the witches have also suffered a lot of casualties, if no one is left behind, and the Qingwu people are afraid to attack again, then there are only some defenseless women and children left. I agree with this, after all, my grandmother is too old to trek with us.

But there is one thing I have to ask my grandmother about this purple gold box. When I learned that my grandmother was Mia's sister, I suspected that this box was also found in the fairy cave mansion, but then I thought about it and thought that it was not, because Mia didn't know about this box at all, so it wouldn't be that grandma would hide it.

After hearing my question, my grandmother shook her head and said, "The box was not found in the cave, it was really handed down from our ancestors." When I left the valley that year, it was not a battle of will, but in fact, I had the heart to leave. Unlike Mia, Mia was four years old when she was sent back to the clan together, but I was six years old and could remember, so I always wanted to go home and find my parents. However, the memories of a six-year-old child are limited, and it will be a long time to find my relatives as an adult, and when I finally find my home, I find that my mother has died and my father is terminally ill. This purple gold box was given to me by my father before he died, and he told me about its origin. ”

Hearing this, I pricked up my ears and finally waited for my grandmother to get to the point.

"My father said that there were five generations of my generation, and excluding my father, my grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather all lived to be ninety years old. The reason is that the great-great-grandfather saved a young man who knew how to do magic when he was young, and in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he not only taught some occult mantras, but also gave this purple gold box, and told his great-great-grandfather that this box is often carried with him to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and regular practice of mystic arts can prolong life. At first, my great-great-grandfather didn't believe it, but after facing life and death several times, he began to believe it, and as that person said, there was no disease, no disaster, and no difficulty, and he lived to the age of ninety-two.

The same is true for the next two generations, but although the treasure is good, it also has its drawbacks, it cannot protect the family. So his grandmother and great-grandmother passed away very early, and when his father arrived, he couldn't bear to see his mother seriously ill, so he used occult magic to try to transfer her illness to himself, but even so, his mother still couldn't escape the doom, and finally went away before him. By the time I found him, he was so sick that no treasure could protect the dying. So, my father gave me the purple gold box. At that time, I had already learned witchcraft, and I vaguely felt that something in the box must be strange, and I knew that you were ill-fated, so I deliberately passed it on to you before I cast it. ”

After some twists and turns, I still don't know what is in the box, and asked my grandmother if she has a key to unlock the seven-trick lock, she shook her head lightly, saying that when the box was passed to her, she deliberately confessed, and she must not open the box without authorization, otherwise the heavenly machine will leak, and the family will suffer a catastrophe. Hearing this, it should not be made up by her father, but passed down from above, and after asking, it is indeed so.

It is said that the owner of the box told his grandmother's great-great-grandfather that he should not open the box in any way, otherwise what would happen. I thought about it for a while, and told my grandmother about throwing the corpse on a lonely island, which caused the corpse to blow up, and she was very surprised when she heard it, and asked how this could happen.

I would also like to know the answer, to be sure, there must be something hidden in the box, the nemesis of the corpse. But from my grandmother, I couldn't find more information, and the box couldn't be opened. I really want to use the shadow moon to cut it open to find out, but since the ancestors of the Cheng family have clearly ordered this, Sheng Shiyao also said the mystery of the seven-trick exquisite lock, so I can only stop this thought.

Turning around and telling Sheng Shiyao about this, he frowned and checked the box repeatedly, and said to me: "Don't think about it for the time being, there must be a reason for it, since the owner of the box said so, there must be a reason." ”

I asked sullenly, "How do you know I'm thinking about anything else?" Is it peeping into my mind again? Can you give me some human rights in the future? "It's very unpleasant to be seen through by him all the time, just like transparent. He glanced at me and threw a sentence: "Your thoughts are all on your face, I need to snoop?" If you want human rights, okay, if you don't think about things in the future, I won't be able to hear them. ”

simply shut up, because I can't talk about him, don't look at his usual silence, if you want to talk about it, no one can theorize him.

The next day, after saying goodbye to my grandmother and Aunt Mei, we set off for the valley, accompanied by Liu Yue and Ying Ning. It was not the road in the belly of the mountain, but the secret passage for the Qingwu people to enter the valley, which was forced to ask when the Qingwu people were sent away before, and planned that after we left, my grandmother would cut off this passage to prevent future troubles.

The secret passage is a long path, with branches in between, one up and one down, and we chose the downward one. Because not only were there traces of people walking on the way down, but also the topography guessed that the upward should have reached the spot where we entered the mountain, and Uba should have slipped down from there and sneaked into the valley to hide.

When we walked out of the secret passage, we found that we had arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Qingwu tribe was located, which was really a fast and convenient shortcut. A group of nearly dozens of people suddenly walked out of the mountain, and the Qingwu people were all frightened on their faces, and many of them knew us, such as the owner of the house who received us. Eventually, he stepped out and asked us what we were doing on behalf of our people.

I'm thinking, can I just say that I just borrowed it? But listen to Zhuang Yu Shenwu speak, let him return our burden. Only then did I remember that our bags were still in each other's houses, and the owner of the house looked back at the clansmen behind him, nodded and agreed to let us get them. From their expressions, it can be seen that they are wary of us, and there is some fear and fear.

I quickly found my baggage and the clothes I changed into there, and checked it, as if my back had been flipped. I wrapped my jacket around my body, slung it behind my back, and went out to meet everyone. Walking outside the tribe together, after walking for a while, I noticed that the atmosphere was not right, it seemed to be very solemn, and I looked at Zhou Tong and Liuzi beside me in the afterglow, and my forehead was slightly sweating, and I wanted to look back at the movements of the Qingwu people, but I was pulled by Sheng Shiyao and ordered: "Don't look back, go forward." ”

Seeing the entrance of the tribal village, he suddenly heard a long howl from Ying Ning next to him, and then the sound of flapping wings came from overhead, and he intuitively looked up and saw that it was those giant bats hovering in the sky. I forgot about them, but Ying Ning could control this bat, wouldn't it be enough to fly with them, why bother to go with us through that secret path into the Qingwu tribe.

I couldn't help but look sideways at her, just in time to meet her gaze, and noticed that she had something in her hand, which should be a tool to blow the long whistling of bats. In confusion, we had already walked out of the Qingwu tribe, and at this time, Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your grandfather's almost got involved with them." When I looked back, I saw that he had pulled out a gun from his clothes, and this posture was just like to make a move.

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why were you so nervous that you were sweating on your heads just now?" I saw that Zhou Tong and Liuzi's expressions became stunned, and Zhou Tong asked: "Little sister, you won't have noticed that in that family, there are people secretly pointing shotguns at us, right?" ”

Stunned, is there? I just felt the tension and it seemed to be on the verge of eruption, but I didn't pay attention to the movement in the room. Sheng Shiyao whispered beside him: "It's not as serious as he said, just a few shotguns." It's just that there are just a few of us, and if the other party does it collectively, it will be very troublesome. Zhou Tong retorted on the side: "Where, Brother Yao, don't hide it from your little sister, just now it was obvious that when we arrived at the mouth of the tribe, someone had already loaded the bullet, and it was these bats on the head that scared them away." It can be seen that this Qingwu people are cruel by nature. ”

When it comes to the experience of facing the enemy, I am really shallow and can sense that something is wrong, but I still lack sensitivity to crises. Fortunately, it was Ying Ning who summoned the bat just now, otherwise he might really have to fight with the Qingwu people. As Sheng Shiyao said, losing is because there are few people, and besides, the Qingwu people are in the deep mountains, but they are cunning and cruel, and we can't wantonly kill people.

Finally walked out of this area without danger, on the way, someone proposed not to let the giant bat as a means of transportation, but Ying Ning refused, asked the reason, she only said that the bat is not suitable for control, if there is a mistake, it will fall from the sky and die. So everyone also broke off their thoughts, and hurried back on foot with peace of mind, faintly feeling that Ying Ning did not tell the truth.

Because according to what she said before, she and Liu Yue came by this bat, and the communication between her and the bat is obviously skilled, and all the bats are under her command, and they are not afraid to die, how can they not control it well. But I didn't go into the details, the bat was not able to be approached, and the painful nightmare was still fresh in my memory, and now it was confirmed that it was the giant bats that attacked us, which was more and more difficult to accept. Looking at the expressions of Zhou Tong and Liuzi, they were also very disgusted with them.

The bumpy and calamitous journey back when I didn't come, except for the rare encounter with some mountain and forest beasts or something, there was not much tribulation. The only thing that counts as a disaster is that Ying Ning was bitten by a poisonous snake, and that was when we were tired from the journey and rested in a clearing.

After several days of traveling, everyone was very tired, and even if they did not encounter danger, walking in the mountains and forests was very physically demanding. When he was able to rest, his nerves naturally relaxed, and suddenly a scream came from Liu Yue, and Zhou Tong was the first to jump from the ground and rush forward.

When we came to the front, we found that Liu Yue was staring at Ying Ning's feet with a white face, we all looked down and saw a thin snake with a triangular head climbing on Ying Ning's calf, it was obvious that the trouser tube had bitten a hole, and she was bitten by the snake.

can look at Ying Ning's expression, as if he just found out that he was bitten by a snake, and he didn't feel pain, even at this moment, he only stared at the thin snake with annoyance. On the other hand, Liu Yue's expression was more like the person who was bitten by a snake, and the whole person was trembling.
