Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Mountains Behind Are Rainy
White Dragon Mountain, rainy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The yin wind brings depression, and it also makes people feel the loneliness between heaven and earth. An Nan and Sixteen trekked for a long time, but An Nan's straw basket was empty, and she was very depressed: "I just saw that the light of this mountain is diffuse, and there must be rare treasures in it, why haven't you seen it for a long time?"
She cupped her chin again and pondered, "Hmm...... After cultivating for tens of thousands of years, even plants have gained spirituality, and they must have used unexpected methods to hide. An Nan suddenly had all the grass and trees, and her little eyes were wandering around, looking for every detail that could not be missed. This was too slow, An Sheng took the risk to drive the Poison Emperor Gu, and the swarm poured out.
Sixteen Dao: "Isn't the Poison Emperor Gu extremely dangerous? You let it out like this, just afraid of damaging those spiritual objects." ”
An Nan said: "Look at your outside world, the Poison Emperor Gu has been passed on to the gods. In fact, the Poison Emperor Gu is just an overview, and there are thousands of variations under the subdivision. Mine is docile and can control them from attacking indiscriminately. ”
Sixteen: "What about An Sheng's?"
An Nan pursed her mouth, "Didn't I say that she was seriously ill and couldn't refine Gu worms......." She looked up at Sixteen's eyes, and found that she couldn't fool him, and then said: "Okay, she is actually the most talented in the family, and she has also cultivated the most specialized Poison Emperor Gu." This Poison Emperor Gu can only be used once in a lifetime, so don't worry about it. The first priority is to help her find the herbs. ”
An Nan was suddenly a little unusual, she said to Sixteen: "I tell you because I believe in you, you must not say it, let our enemies in our hometown hear it, it will lead to death." ”
Sixteen: "Please rest assured. ”
"Hmm. An Nan just nodded, and the swarm of about 300,000 insects scattered in groups of 30,000. The Poison Emperor Gu must not be separated from the group, once separated, extreme panic and anxiety will occupy the hearts of each insect, causing the combat power and reaction speed to plummet. Sixteen was even more surprising was the reproduction speed of the Poison Emperor Gu, in the previous battle in the Demon Palace, the Poison Emperor Gu was exhausted, but only a few days later, it was actually such a scale. He guessed that the Poison Emperor Gu was also born from the female worm, and the reproduction rate was related to the characteristics of each Poison Emperor Gu, and when the maximum number of reproduction was reached, the female worm would stop producing.
But there is a question that Sixteen hasn't figured out for the time being: the volume of the Poison Emperor Gu is very huge, where does An Nan usually store them? She doesn't look like she is full of gourds.
With a cup of tea, the Poison Emperor Gu returned to the two of them.
The insect hovered on An Nan's fingertips, making a strange "squeak" sound, and An Nan said, "I see, how close is it?"
"Squeak squeak!" The little insect actually made a sharp and piercing cry, and An Nan said: "You are excited, hurry up and make it clear!"
"Squeak~" The insect raised its front body, and suddenly crawled from its fingertips to the palm of her hand, An Nan sprinkled some dust on her hand, and the insect crawled around and drew a map in her palm, and then lay motionless in her palm.
Sixteen: "Awesome." ”
An Nan said: "That's nature. The position where it was lying on its stomach is where we are now, and I'll take a look...... There are treasures in the southwest, east, and north directions, and the treasures due north are the closest, so let's go there first. ”
As soon as I arrived due north, I saw a deep pit, as if the behemoth had struggled. There was a circle of Gu insects left on the surface, and An Nan said: "They are near the reconnaissance, don't be afraid, go down." But she herself was afraid, and she didn't dare to take the first step.
The behemoth had apparently descended into the pit.
The pit is about a zhang high, and the sixteenth will go down first, and give it back to An Nan. An Nan said: "Ouch, you are not allowed to touch my feet!"
Sixteen: "Sin, sin, sin." ”
"Don't let go now, ouch!" An Nan was also tenacious, got up and patted the dust, and said to Sixteen, "You ...... first"
The two of them walked down the tunnel, and every other mile there were small groups of Gu worms as contact, they kept sending out some kind of infrasound waves to communicate, coupled with the transmission of smell, the situation was already under control at all times. An Nan could understand the insect language, and said, "Huh...... It scared me to death, it turned out that they had caught their prey. ”
Sixteen: "Can you understand the worm language?"
"What's so strange about this? In the Miao family in Xiangxi, not only can they fight with insects and snakes, but they even have an ancient profession called 'insect hunter'. They will imitate the language of various Gu worms and animals, travel between mountains and rivers, and settle grievances between Gu worms and people in exchange for bounties. Between Annan's words, they all have an elusive feeling for the "insect hunter". Some envy, some doubts. Even the loneliness she couldn't see.
Sixteen said: "I think becoming an insect hunter definitely requires a very strict screening. ”
"No, the most important thing for insect hunters is their hearts, a sincere insect hunter can bring peace to Xiangxi, where Gu poison is frequent, but some insect hunters are easily bewitched by powerful Gu worms and fall into the devil's path. There was one time in the clan, and I didn't want to suffer a second time. ”
"The insect hunter ......."
"That's right, he's my grandfather. He died depressed in his old age, and took our family to live far away in the mountains, avoiding the world, which can be regarded as compensation for the sins of those years. "Annan likes her grandfather very much.
I just can't forget the tragedy of his death.
The insect hunter has dealt with Gu worms all his life, and when he dies, all Gu worms break out of their bodies. Under the quiet sunset, the old rattan chair was stained red with blood, and he walked calmly.
An Nan said: "So he set a rule: the people of the An family can never be insect hunters, and those who violate them will be hunted down and killed by the whole clan." ”
Sixteen: "But rules are used to break." ”
An Nan lowered his head and said, "That's right, otherwise An Li wouldn't have to leave us." "Now that I think about it, she avoided fratricide early.
Why do people like to be "cheap" in their bones?
The sales of a book doubled after it was banned, a forbidden art that some people practice at all costs, and women like bad men...... She didn't know what An Li was thinking, maybe she had a rebellious spirit in her bones, and the more she was not allowed to do something, the more interested she became. These interests finally converged into practice, allowing her to leave silently on the snowy days in Miaojiang.
An Nan has been wondering, can he only understand An Li's mind when he grows up?
Anli was completely different from them. She is like a calm sea, but there is an undercurrent rushing underneath, and the situation is complicated.
The depth of the sea is immeasurable.
Even if you see the bottom of the sea, the end of it is still endless.
With these careful thoughts, An Nan finally saw that the thing that was subdued by the Poison Emperor Gu was actually a earth mole cricket. It had been sucking the root juice and essence of the treasure for a long time, and its skin had turned into a transparent and brilliant golden color, and the Poison Emperor Gu had not bitten through its flesh and skin, but had only forced it to exhaust. An Nan said: "Great! Watch me pull it back and make soup." ”
The golden mole cricket suddenly tensed its muscles, it was the size of a cat and dog, and it would not be so easily cornered.
