Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Nine Shades
Qin Zhen rubbed his chin that was almost closed, and smiled awkwardly at Jiuyou. After all, the person who is second only to the Demon Lord in the village seems to be a bit rude to meet Qin Zhen in his current appearance.
However, although Jiuyou is a Gu Niang with a high status, she has no shelf. Seeing Qin Zhen's apologetic smile, she also bowed slightly.
Gu Jie on the side pulled Qin Zhen to sit next to Jiang Qi at this time, and reminded him in a low voice by the way, "I said that you can't move your legs, and now you can't close your mouth!" You're a bit of a talent, okay? Don't embarrass Dongshao! This can't be touched, you can be honest......"
After speaking, Gu Jie turned around and sat facing Yudong and Jiuyou, with a righteous face.
Qin Zhen couldn't explain that he didn't mean that now, so he had to twist the water of his clothes on the side. In that way, there will be as many wolves as there will be.
At this time, Yu Dong opened his mouth coldly as usual: "Jiuyou, I want to see the Hundred Ghosts and Demon Lord." β
This kind of toneless, straightforward speech, where is a bit like asking someone to do something? ? Can this be the attitude of asking for help? Didn't anyone teach this dead boy how to communicate with people? Qin Zhen scolded secretly in his heart on the side, and he was always mentally prepared for the collapse of the meeting.
Unexpectedly, Jiuyou covered his mouth and said with a light smile, "I have been separated for many years, and I have experienced cold and summer several times." Unexpectedly, this cold Dongshao is still the same as back then, and there is no change at all. β
Qin Zhen heard it, and it was over. People don't answer your questions positively! So that you can't speak human words! However, listening to the meaning of Jiuyou's words, it seems that this man has been a vice virtue since he was a child, so people will say that he is 'just as he was back then'.
But then again, since Gu Niang has been isolated from the world in this deep mountain since she was a child, how can she speak such authentic Chinese? And listening to her words, she seems to be very knowledgeable! This is obviously a person who has been sinicized very strictly!
Regarding this, Qin Zhen is really very incomprehensible. Now he suddenly felt that everything in this village was different from what he had imagined. Perhaps, due to this closed environment, Qin Zhen has always felt that the people here should be similar to the 'southwest barbarians' that Zhuge Liang said, full of rough and primitive savages......
But I didn't expect that people are not only handsome and proficient in Chinese, but even more exquisite and exquisite in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation than in the city! Every mountain, every river, one person and one thing here has a profound cultural heritage. The gap between this and Qin Zhen's imagination is really too big!
Yuto doesn't seem to be very good at coping with such conversations. If he is someone else, he can choose to shut up the other person, or just leave himself. But now he is begging someone to do something, and he can't say anything unpleasant, and he can't just leave. So he chose a coping plan that worked best for him--- silence.
It seems that Jiuyou also knows Yudong's style very well, and seeing that Yudong has no plans to reminisce about the past, he smiled helplessly, and then entered the topic and said: "You should know that even if it is me, it is not easy to meet the Demon Lord." Juntian, doesn't he know the difficulty of this? β
Obviously, Jiuyou has already seen that Juntian asked them to come.
Yu Dong tilted his head slightly to look at Jiuyou, and said very strictly: "Jiuyou, if it is not a last resort, we will not disturb the Miao Village of the Demon Lord." But now the stakes are high, not only the lives of our group, but also a lot of important things...... So I have to find the Demon Lord. β
Jiuyou looked at Yu Dong and sighed softly: "Yu Dong, in this life, don't you want to live some of your own life?" If we had a choice, would we all continue to suffer a fate that we couldn't help ourselves? Although he didn't understand it very well, Qin Zhen could hear that Jiuyou's words were a kind of kind persuasion.
Seeing that Yudong lowered his eyes lightly, he didn't mean to listen. Jiuyou sighed again and said: "Originally, it was not easy to meet the Demon Lord, and it would be even more difficult if you wanted the Demon Lord to help the outside world......" Before Jiuyou finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yudong's unceremonious cold voice.
"I tell you, since I have come, I have made all kinds of mental preparations. We are all people whose lives have entered the countdown, and it doesn't matter where I die, but my friend must go back alive! So Jiuyou, whether you help or not, I have to see the Hundred Ghosts and Demon Lords! β
Yu Dong's words were loud and extremely tough. There was not a hint of humble please, nor the slightest hint of fear. This made Qin Zhen and the others warm their hearts when they listened. That's right, this is Xia Yudong!
Jiuyou seemed to have known that this would be the result, and nodded helplessly and said, "I know, if you go crazy, you will not hesitate to go through the entire western Yunnan." β
"I'm afraid you don't have to be so troublesome, the Hundred Devils Demon Lord must be around this stockade!" Yu Dong said firmly.
"Can I show you first? You should believe in my Gu arts, right? With that, Jiuyou stood up, looked at Qin Zhen, who was wet all over, and prepared to walk towards Qin Zhen. However, he was stopped by Yudong's opening.
I saw Yu Dong untie his cuffs and said indifferently, "Come and see me." β
Jiuyou looked at Yudong in surprise and was slightly stunned. But Qin Zhen knew very well in his heart that Yudong didn't trust anyone, so he wouldn't allow anyone to contact his friends lightly. No matter what the Nine Ghosts did, he took the lead and stood in front of them. In this way, any danger will befall him first...... He is like the silver needle that tests for poison......
Jiuyou was only slightly stunned, and then immediately attracted by the silver thread on Yudong's wrist. She walked over with a frown, stretched out her slender fingers and lightly placed them on Yudong's wrist. The sharp and slender nails like crab claw orchids are strange and amazing.
After a while, Jiuyou raised his head in surprise and asked in an incredulous tone, "How can this be?!" β
At this time, Qin Zhen finally saw the line on Yu Dong's arm, and his was already beyond the elbow joint! And soon to get to the position of the biceps! Isn't that far from the heart?!
As soon as Qin Zhen thought of this, he immediately subconsciously stood up!! Before, when they went into the water, they were too fast to see Yudong's arm clearly. But at that moment, Qin Zhen saw himself clearly, obviously it was not yet the elbow joint...... Why is Yudong so much stricter than them?!
Qin Zhen was really anxious at this time, and he couldn't care about his image and demeanor anymore, so he walked over directly and said to Jiuyou: "Gu Niang...... I heard that you are the highest status person in this Miao village, and you are deeply worshiped by the clan. You must know what's going on, right? HeβWhy is he stricter than us?! β
Without waiting for Jiuyou to speak, Qin'er on the side couldn't help but interject first, "This is a very simple truth!" Two people who are terminally ill at the same time, do you say that the one who recuperates with peace of mind dies quickly, or the person who works day and night and works hard dies quickly? β
Jiuyou scolded Qin'er softly, and Qin'er obediently closed her mouth and stood aside. However, Qin Zhen understood the meaning...... He looked at Yudong with great worry and shame, and had mixed feelings in his heart.
Obviously said that he was here to help him, but in the end, he didn't help at all! And it worries him day and night, so that the damn curse grows wildly!
As if he had seen through Qin Zhen's thoughts, Yu Dong smiled at him and said, "It's not like you didn't do anything, you still helped steal the bell!" β
Qin Zhen shook his head and smiled miserably, saying in his heart that this little thing is still a help? It's not good to rob a house! If it wasn't for Yudong at that time, he and Lao Gu might not be able to get out of that courtyard.
Trying to calm himself down, Qin Zhen asked Jiuyou again, "Gu Niang...... Didn't you know Brother Jun? That handsome little brother can control our 'condition', can you too? Can you hurry up and help Yudong with first aid now? β
Jiuyou shook helplessly and said, "Juntian, he has already put himself on his own to ensure that you are so far." There's nothing I can do anymore, the only one who can save you now is really the Demon Lord......"
"So, can you take us to the Demon Lord??" Qin Zhen asked anxiously and urgently. With a pleading face, he looked at Jiuyou very sincerely. Since that iceberg won't ask for help, let him replace it!
"It's not that I don't want to help, but it's really hard to meet the Demon Lord...... Well, let me try it first. With that, Jiuyou grabbed the silver necklace on his chest and shook it gently.
This silver necklace is not small, and in the middle of the huge necklace is a strange round box, which gradually extends from wide to narrow. The round box is carved with a cow's head relief pattern on one side and a sunflower pattern on the other. The chain body is pendant with phoenix, bat, tiger, toad, chicken, horse, fish, human pattern and hanging silver chain tassel.
The most amazing thing is the string of bells hanging from the bottom of the chain. As Jiuyou shook gently, the sound was like a silver bell, crisp like a mountain spring dingdong, like a birdsong in the morning sun, which added a lot of aura to her!
In this process, Qin'er on the side secretly told Qin Zhen that the round box of the necklace was the most powerful Gu raised by Gu Niang. And the things below that look like silver bells are actually not bells, but the appearance of bells, and there is a corresponding Gu in the middle.
And every pattern carved on these silver plates is a god behind it, and there is a legend......
Qin Zhen was shocked to see it, and he was even more surprised when he heard it! He couldn't help but wonder if it was precisely because of these indescribable mysteries that the plain silver ornament in front of him was better than the splendid decoration of thousands of purples and reds. No wonder the Miao family worships silver......
At this time, among the silver bells carved with various animal patterns on the Nine Shadows necklace, a silver bell engraved with a phoenix suddenly trembled. Then there seemed to be a faint flash of light. It was as if a firefly had flown out of a delicate silver bell!
Qin Zhen looked at Qin Er on the side in surprise, only to see that the girl blinked an eye, and then whispered to Qin Zhen with her mouth, "That's Gu Niang Feng Gu's Gu worm, it's a way to contact the Demon Lord." β
Although he didn't see the insect clearly, Qin Zhen's heart was a little more steady, after all, Jiuyou was already helping them contact the Demon Lord. Now, it depends on how the demon lord feels......
Seeing Jiuyou sit down again, Qin Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask you a question...... The Hundred Ghosts and Demon Lords of Guizhai are not like the legendary witches? βοΌxΓοΌ
Qin Zhen's question was a very polite and tactful way, and he thought that the title he chose was also very appropriate.
There was a record in the "Sayings": Men are called witches, women are witches, and they can fasten and do things for the gods. The legendary witch can not only deal with ghosts, but also communicate with the gods, and transmit the communication between the three worlds of people, ghosts and gods. He has fully reached a special identity of being both a man and a god. This is really similar to the Hundred Ghosts and Demon Lords in Miao Min's mouth!
