Early the next morning, I got out of bed as early as ever, intending to go to the hall for morning exercises, but when I walked out of the bedroom door, I found that Lao Chen's bedroom was still full of fire, and he had not slept all night last night.

Lao Chen was old after all, and I was a little worried about him, so I knocked on his door and shouted outside: "Lao Chen, didn't you sleep last night?" ”

The room first heard Lao Chen's laughter, and after a while, I heard the sound of the chair moving and his footsteps.

He opened the door and said to me with a smile, "Those two little ones you raised are very interesting." ”

I glanced through the crack in the door, and saw that the big and small black were sitting near the windowsill, and they both twisted their bodies, their little black faces against the lattice, as if they were looking out.

I asked Lao Chen, "Why did the two of them run into your house?" ”

Lao Chen said with a smile: "I let the two of them in, last night, I taught them to speak, the two little ones learned very quickly, and now they can call your name." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Hei turned a smiling face to me and shouted, "If you don't have to." ”

When he turned his head, I was taken aback, I have been too busy in the past two days, and I haven't had time to care about him and Dahei, but I didn't expect that if one was not careful, this guy actually had eyes.

At this time, Da Hei also turned his head to look at me, and I realized that he also had a white eye like a glass bead on his forehead.

In addition to having no pupils, Xiao Hei's eyes look similar to human eyes, Da Hei only has such an eye on his forehead, and the shape of the eyes is very regular and round, and there is a faint white light near the eye socket.

I couldn't come to my senses for a long time: "These two guys, when did they get eyes?" ”

When Li Huaishan came out of his bedroom, he heard me talking, so he came up to me and said, "That was it the night before yesterday, did you just find out?" ”

That's it the night before yesterday?

The night before yesterday, we should have just entered the stockade, could it be that the big and small black changed on the way here.

Da Hei looked at me lazily for a while, then turned his gaze to the window, and Xiao Hei jumped down from the windowsill, a gust of wind seemed to rush to my legs, looked at me with his neck tilted, and opened his little hand: "If not, hug." ”

Only then did I see that Xiao Hei's wrist also had a round palm.

At that time, I didn't think much about it, so I bent down and picked up Xiao Hei, I was wearing an off-white coat at that time, Xiao Hei shrunk in my arms, and I didn't even dye my clothes black.

I haven't paid attention to Xiao Hei for a few days, and many changes have taken place in him, and looking at the clean coat, I can't get back to my senses.

It took me half a day to settle down, and then I asked Li Huaishan: "Where is the hammer?" ”

Li Huaishan: "After we entered the big house, it didn't know where to go. ”

Lao Chen also said to me on the side: "The hammer seems to have gone to the back mountain." ”

I subconsciously asked, "What is it doing in the back mountain?" ”

Lao Chen spread his hands: "Then I don't know." ”

I habitually scratched my temples, and was about to speak, when there was a quick knock on the door downstairs, and then I heard Shier shouting downstairs: "Are you up, if not, the teacher has something to look for you." ”

I hurriedly put down Xiao Hei, rushed to the first floor, and opened the door for Shi'er.

Shi'er stood outside the door, and when he saw me, he said to me very anxiously, "Come with me to the mud tower, the teacher is dying." ”

His words startled me, and I couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong with the Nojan Witch?" ”

Shi'er just said "follow me" and ran in the direction of the mud tower, and I didn't dare to delay, so I hurried to follow him.

It is said that the Noja witch has taken my medicine, and his body should be getting better day by day, why is it that he is almost dead after taking the day's medicine, is it that I have a problem with the medicine?

Thinking so to myself, I suddenly quickened my pace, and Shi'er was still running ahead of me at first, but after I cast the Tengyun Step, he couldn't keep up with my speed, until I rushed into the mud tower, and when I turned around, my view was blocked by the house behind me, and I could no longer see Shi'er's figure.

I didn't dare to stop and wait for him, so I hurried up to the second floor.

At this time, the Great Witch of Noja was sitting on his chair with half leaning back, his eyes looking out the window, his face was noticeably better than the last time I saw him, and his forehead was already a clean flush.

Seeing that I came to the second floor, Brother Niu walked up to me with a water cup, handed me the hot water that slowly steamed out of the white mist, and said with a smile: "You saved the teacher, I don't know how to thank you." ”

I took the glass of water and frowned in the direction of the Nojan Witch: "What's the situation, Shi Er told me just now that the Nojan Witch is dying." ”

Brother Niu didn't seem to hear the meaning of my words, and scratched his scalp a little irritably.

The Great Witch of Nojan slowly turned around and gave me a gentle smile: "Shi'er, that child, you always talk halfway, don't take it to heart." ”

I walked over to Nojan and placed the cup on the corner of the table, and tied it to check his pulse, and it seemed that my medicine was still working, and his breath and pulse were much calmer than the night before.

After taking the pulse, I gently pulled Da Wu's cuffs and asked Da Wu, "How are you feeling now?" ”

Nojan Dawu smiled and nodded: "It's much better, the medicine of the family is indeed very good." But after taking your medicine, I always have no energy, and I want to sleep all the time. ”

I said, "This is normal, the medicines I gave you are used to correct the meridians, and when the medicine is in effect, your meridians will be rearranged, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, which can easily cause narcolepsy." But don't worry, when the medicine stops, this symptom will slowly improve. ”

"I believe in you." The Great Witch of Nojan slowly turned his whole body towards me, and said with a slight slurred speech: "When you go to the back mountain, take Yoda and Shi'er with you." ”

As he spoke, the Witch glanced at Brother Niu seemingly casually.

Then I heard Brother Niu say: "Teacher, I also want to go to the back mountain." ”

Nojan shook his head and said to Brother Niu in a non-negotiable tone: "You are guarding in the stockade, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

I asked the Witch, "Are you planning to let Yoda and Shir follow me into the cave?" ”

The Great Witch of Noja turned his gaze to me: "The two of them are only responsible for taking you into the mountain, and only Muji will accompany you into the ghost cave. ”

Just now I was thinking that Yoda and Shi'er couldn't even deal with the Colorful Tiger, and if I took them into the cave, I might not be able to protect them if I encountered a particularly tricky evil thing in the cave. But I still wondered why Yoda and Shi'er had sent these two men with me to the back mountain, since Yoda and Shi'er didn't go into the cave.

The Great Witch seemed to anticipate my doubts, and then said to me: "The mountain behind the stockade is called Old Witch Mountain by the people in your trade, and it is the destination of the past generations after the death of Bimo, and it is very troublesome for outsiders to enter it. Shi'er and Yoda have the blood of their ancestors Bimo, and having them accompany you into the mountains can save you a lot of trouble. ”

I looked at Yoda, who was standing in the corner of the room, and gave Nojan an inquiring look.

The Great Witch of Nojan immediately understood what I meant: "That family of Yoda was also a nobleman five hundred years ago, but it was only later that his ancestors committed heinous sins and were reduced to slavery. ”

After saying this, the Great Witch of Noja added: "In these days, there is no distinction between nobles and slaves in the stockade, and everyone's status is the same. ”

I smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.

Like me, the Great Witch of Nojan showed a rather helpless smile on his face as he spoke, and then he raised his palm towards Yoda: "Yoda, take the Ugin cone." ”

Yoda immediately opened the cabinet that Chen had placed beside him and took out something wrapped in red cloth from inside.

The Great Witch spread his palms until Yodat placed the bloody red cloth in his palm, and then he closed his fingers and brushed his hand with some difficulty.

"This is something that has been passed down from old Bimo." As he spoke, he shoved something into me, "Open it and take a look." ”

When I started to dismantle the red cloth, Yoda and Brother Niu turned their backs to me at the same time, and it seemed that neither of them was qualified to see what was wrapped in the red cloth, just like in ancient times, when the emperor passed by, the nearby palace maids and eunuchs had to prostrate on the ground, facing the loess, and they must not peep into the holy face.

Yoda and Brother Niu's actions aroused my great curiosity, I quickened the movement of my hand, and in the blink of an eye, I tore open the red cloth, and saw that in the depths of this blood-colored mass, a slightly black golden cone was wrapped.

The weight of this thing is about one or two catties, and the shape is somewhat similar to the Buddha's Vajra Demon Pestle, but the structure of the Demon Pestle is usually a vajra at one end and an iron triangular pestle at one end, with three Buddha faces embedded in the middle: laughing, angry and scolding. But the things in my hand are triangular pyramids cast in gold at both ends, and there are three kinds of reliefs carved in the middle: tiger head, sheep head, and bird head.

I don't feel the slightest bit of telekinesis in what the Norjan Witch calls the "Ugin Cone", and I don't know if it has any other purpose than decoration.

The Witch of Noja pointed to the black gold cone in my hand and said to me, "Legend has it that this black gold cone is the nemesis of the night owl spirit, and it is thanks to it that you people in the industry were able to enter the depths of the ghost cave smoothly. Now I will give it to you, and you will use it, but when you are done, you will have to return it. ”

I say this as if I am a person who borrows something and does not pay it back.

As soon as I had this thought in my heart, the Great Witch took out a small wooden box from his pocket, and he handed it to me, and said to me with a smile: "The cinnabar in it was left by you when you dealt with the Colorful Tiger last night, I think, these cinnabar should be used for the array, right?" ”
