Volume 3 Miao Jiang Insect Medicine Chapter 12 The Old Silkworm King
I watched from the sidelines, and I was quite relieved, and I saw that it was almost over, and then said: "If you explain honestly, we can consider it, if there is half a lie, hehe!" ”
Jin Shan cried: "I said, I said, what you want to know, I will say!" ”
"First of all, tell me what is going on with your three villages? Why are there so many silkworms? They even carved silkworms on wooden floors."
"Our three villages are all totem villages, silkworms are the totem fetishities of our lower villages, that is to say, we are silkworm clans, the descendants of silkworms, the totem fetish of the middle village is the frog, and the upper village is the snake; The natural enemy of the silkworm is the frog, the natural enemy of the frog is the snake, and the Gu moth that the silkworm becomes after breaking out of the cocoon happens to be able to restrain the snake, so we restrain each other in the three villages, and rarely come and go, let alone intermarry; Because we are closed here, we never interact with the outside world, so we are frightened by your arrival, and the witch will drive the white silkworm to offend you, and we are also for self-protection, please spare us. Saying that, Jin Shan couldn't stop kowtowing.
"Hmph, don't interact with the outside world, we were scared, it's pure nonsense, as far as I know, your Sanzhai and the Miao Village in Qianshan have always had dealings, if there is half a lie, I will kill one first." I picked up the little boy, made a chopping gesture, and put on a hideous smile.
Seeing this, Jin Shan fell to the ground and cried bitterly, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "Don't! Heroes spare their lives! Don't hurt my son's life! What I said is true, I haven't been in contact with people outside for nearly 30 years, even if there are people from outside who take the initiative to come to us before, we will definitely not go out, because, because the people of our three villages can not leave the totem fetish of their own clan, once they leave the mountain this place, they will immediately die violently, if, if you don't believe it, I am willing to use my life to seal, you will take me out of the mountain, don't hurt my children! ”
Leaving the totem fetish of the clan will immediately die, this statement sounds very ridiculous, Jin Shan saw our doubts, explained: "I don't believe you untie my shirt, our silkworm people have a white silkworm tattooed on the heart, connected to the heart, once you can't sense the totem, the heart will stop beating, the giant silkworm you see is our totem fetish, is the god of our silkworm clan, if you are killed, our whole clan will be killed immediately." ”
Qingyun stepped forward to untie his clothes, and sure enough, there was a white silkworm the size of an index finger tattooed on his chest, stretching his body, the silkworm head was slightly raised, exactly the same as the beauty in front of the door leaning on the carving, looking at Jinshan's expression did not look like he was faking, after all, no one would take his child's life as a child's play, but the Miao man in the front mountain said that thirty years ago, he did lead a young man from the back mountain to Ah Duo's house, and he had no reason to lie, if he didn't lie, there was only one explanation: the young man who came to find Ah Duo was not a clansman from the three villages in the back mountain.
However, I was concerned about the wooden butterflies on the sacred tree, and I didn't have the heart to think about these irrelevant things, so I decided to cheat him, so I dragged a bamboo chair and sat down, and said unhurriedly: "Well, well, then you can tell me about the sacred tree." ”
When Jin Shan heard the word "Divine Tree", his face suddenly changed, his expression immediately froze, his lips trembled a few times, and cold sweat flowed.
My heart is happy, it seems that ** is not far from ten, the sacred tree is here, but the face has to be suffocated, can not leak flaws, stalemate for a moment, I am afraid of the case, raised my hand and gave him two slaps, and said angrily: "You have tried to harm us several times, this account has not been settled with you, since you refuse to say, don't blame me for being ruthless." So saying, he rushed to the two children, drew his sword, and slashed.
This is a kind of gambling on people's hearts, and whoever does what he does will win. At this time, my sword had already swung down, and I directly slashed the boy's Heavenly Spirit Cover without the slightest hesitation.
"Ahh Xia Ti exclaimed.
"I say! I say! Don't kill my child, I said, woo-woo...... I said, ah......" Jin Shan cried bitterly, and the last line of psychological defense also collapsed.
I pulled back the blade, glared at the golden mountain, and roared, "Say it quickly! ”
Jin Shan sat paralyzed on the ground at this time, all thoughts were discouraged, and he said gloomily: "That is the biggest secret of our three villages, I don't know much, more than 30 years ago, we had a plague here, I was only four years old that year, I only remember that many people died in the village at that time, the same is true of Zhongzhai and Shangzhai, the clansmen continue to die, my father is the silkworm king, that is, the patriarch of our silkworm clan, so he convened the patriarch of the Zhongzhai frog clan and the Shangzhai snake clan to discuss together, and finally decided to lead all the clansmen to the sacred tree to avoid trouble, we went up the mountain through Zhongzhai and Shangzhai, After all the tribesmen were blindfolded and walked a long way, and when they took off the cloth, they saw a huge tree, I have never seen such a big tree, dozens of zhang high, and the night also emits a red light, beautiful, but everyone can only be dozens of zhang away, not allowed to approach the sacred tree, I saw with my own eyes a curious clansman was killed by random arrows because he secretly approached the sacred tree, and everyone set up camp in the specified area, and lived for more than half a month, it is strange to say, no one died of the plague in this half a month, Later, when people returned to the village, they escaped the plague. At that time, I often asked my father about the secret of the sacred tree, and he was annoyed by my questioning, so he told me a story, the legend is that the sacred tree is a treasure given by the Yellow Emperor to the Jiuli clan, and it is used to suppress a demon Gu here, this demon Gu is called' Descending Gu', it was a butterfly in the Biyou Palace, because of its greed for the mountains and rivers of the world, it stole the jade dust of Hongjun Ancestor, went down to here, and was killed, and its soul hatred turned into this demon Gu, the scourge is endless, and the Divine Tree is the nemesis of this Demon Gu, for thousands of years, the Demon Gu nourishes the Divine Tree, and is controlled by the Divine Tree, the two are interdependent and interdependent and integrated into one, so the Divine Tree can not only dispel all diseases and solve hundreds of Gu, but can not be close, once infected with the Demon Gu will cause great disaster. The sacred tree is guarded by the three sacred objects of silkworms, frogs and snakes, and the people of our Sanzhai are the descendants of these three sacred objects, guarding the sacred tree for generations and not letting anyone approach. Although this is just a legend, my father has repeatedly told me not to divulge it at any time. Later, a year later, a big event happened in the clan, many people died, and my father's temperament changed greatly, and the original enthusiastic and cheerful silkworm king became extremely withdrawn, unreasonable, and no longer mentioned anything, so no one knows what happened, and I know so much. ”
Jin Shan looked very calm, it is estimated that this time he has already explained to the old man, I asked him if he had heard of "Plum Blossom Gu", Jin Shan shook his head and said that he had never heard of it, and now he doesn't need to lie anymore, but for this interrogation, I am already very satisfied, Bi
The butterflies in the palace, this coincides with the wooden butterfly, it seems that the sacred tree is really here, and it can indeed solve a hundred Gu, only if you find it, Xia Ti will be saved.
It's just that this "head lowering Gu" makes me very confused, and Su asked this Nanban that there are three major demon arts: head lowering technique, Gu technique and technique, but I can't figure out what this "head lowering Gu" is, it is a powerful thing that the two are added together.
"Your father, how is the old silkworm king now?" Ghostface asked suddenly.
No one thought that he would speak rashly, Jin Shan was also stunned, and replied: "My father had a serious illness a few years ago, there is no clever witch doctor in the village, my medical skills are shallow, and he failed to cure his old man, and now he has been bedridden for many years, and today the heroes have injured the totem of our clan, and the silkworm king has also been deeply wounded, and now he is unconscious. "In the end, there was another wave of sadness.
Ghost Face Dao said in a dumb voice: "Poor Dao knows a little about medical skills, and tomorrow I will take Poor Dao to see the old silkworm king." ”
Jin Shan nodded and thanked him.
I, Xia Ti and Qingyun took turns keeping vigil, mainly to prevent Jin Shan from escaping, but the night was very peaceful, and the next morning, Jin Shan took us to the tent of his father, the old silkworm king.
It was a shriveled old man of almost old age, blue and black, with a wrinkled face, lying straight on the bed, his eyes half-squinted, cloudy, his breath was very weak, and his throat suddenly "gurgled" twice, as if to prove to us that he was still alive.
Ghost Face Dao stepped forward and cut the veins of his left and right hands, pressed a few acupuncture points, and carefully watched and pondered for a long time.
Jin Shan hurriedly said: "How is my father?" ”
Ghost Miandao shook his head and said: "The old silkworm king's pulse is slow and tight, floating is empty, tight is cold, shortness of breath, thin white tongue, swollen hands and feet, this is the disease of 'stroke', also called 'Guizhi Tang disease', from the pulse of the disease, it has been bedridden for seven or eight years. ”
Jin Shan nodded again and again, and said with infinite admiration: "The Taoist is really a god!" It's been seven or eight years, but my father is physically strong and strong in martial arts, how could he suddenly contract this disease? ”
"Most of them are caused by the stagnant heart, which has not been solved for many years, and the wind evil has entered the body."
There was displeasure in the tone of the ghost face, and Jin Shan didn't dare to ask again, he had been bedridden for many years after a stroke, and the child knew that it was difficult to cure.
After being silent for a long time, it was Kongtong Zishou who spoke: "Immeasurable Tianzun, God has the virtue of good life, Brother Dao still wants to heal the old silkworm king!" ”
If it is about the art of medical Taoism, Kongtongzi may not be under the ghost face road, but at this time, he avoided it, most likely because he wanted to test the means of the ghost face road.
Seeing the ghost face Dao, he sighed, "This disease is caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis, and because it has dragged on for too long, the poor road is not sure, plus I injured the totem silkworm, the giant silkworm and the old silkworm king are connected, which makes the old silkworm king's vitality even weaker, and his life is hanging by a thread, I will do my best to save it, as for whether there is the power to return to the sky, it depends on the old silkworm king's own creation." ”
Jin Shan burst into tears, nodded incessantly, and thanked him again and again.
Ghost Face Dao pointed to a layer of scales on the bed and said, "You have a lot of pangolins here, take its scales first, add mulberry branches to the night, and give him to take it first, so as to invigorate blood and disperse stasis." ”
