Central Cangjie, Worm Valley.

This is a star that has existed since the beginning of the heavens and the earth, and the star is huge, but the habitable area is small, and it was devastated by a great war thousands of years ago.

The whole star is occupied by the water area of thirty percent, the remaining seventy percent of the four percent are desert, more than two percent of the fragments, from the outside world you can see the core of the magma and all kinds of poisonous insects crawling from time to time, one of the few habitable places there is a tribe.

The tribal building is special, mainly with stilted attics, the material is mostly camphor wood, the attic does not have stairs, only a rope is tied on the outside.

The clansmen who have not awakened and cultivated all rely on ropes to go up and down, and the trouble is a little troublesome, but they can resist most of the poisonous insects.

Their surname is Miao, good witch Gu, but it was thousands of years ago, because the ancestors were cursed, and the clansmen did not live to be three hundred years old, and most of them could not awaken and cultivate in their lifetimes.

There are only a handful of people in the clan who can be called Gu masters, Gu masters can cultivate, sprinkle thousands of Gu worms at will, and are not afraid of poisons, and can feed them with their own spiritual power.

Such a small number of people have the absolute right to speak, because this is what they should be.

……

In the center of the tribe, a unique earthen building stands above the surrounding buildings, covering a huge area, the whole is cylindrical, and the thick laterite walls are carved out of small windows, which can not only resist foreign enemies, but also resist sandstorms in spring and autumn.

On weekdays, only the tribal Gu mother lives in the tulou, her strength is first-class and strong, and she is cultivated in the late stage of the soul, in the eyes of the declining Gu people, she seems to be almost omnipotent.

"Grandma Gu, look, I caught a silverback scorpion."

A crisp child's voice echoed in the tulou, and a little girl of six or seven years old came to the old woman with a scorpion bigger than the palm of her hand.

The old woman looked at the girl with an excited face, and said with a kind smile on her face:

"Ye'er, Gu Mother asked you, what is the use of this silver-backed scorpion, and how to solve its poison?"

"It's not going to be hard for me." The girl wiped her nose with the back of her hand, "Like most scorpions, its poison can cure convulsions, dissipate knots and relieve pain, in addition, the silverback scorpion itself can also remove saprophytic muscles, which has a miraculous effect on skin diseases."

However, it will be very painful to be stung by it, if the treatment is not timely, it will return to the west in a quarter of an hour, and it is necessary to cut the wound and release the poison, and use white vanadium, half summer grinding, vinegar to paste the disease, or use the big green leaves, lobelia mashed and applied externally, of course, the medicine primer is indispensable, it must be the powder scraped off the back of the scorpion. ”

The old woman nodded, and sighed with a little regret in her cloudy eyes:

"If everyone in my Gu clan can practice, why do you need to use such a troublesome method..."

"Grandma Gu, don't worry, Ye'er will definitely be able to awaken and cultivate in the future, and like Aunt Miao Ling, she will become a Gu master and use her immortal power to protect everyone."

The little girl shook the big scorpion in her hand, and seemed not afraid of being stung, when a dark-skinned man walked in, squeezing out a smile on his face and saying:

"Yo, Ye'er is so capable, and you have meat to eat tonight?"

Hearing this, the girl hurriedly hid the scorpion behind her, shook her head and said, "This is raised, not eaten." ”

The man petted her head, "Take care of it, maybe you will be the next Gu Master." ”

"Hey, hey." The girl smiled innocently, pinched the big scorpion that others avoided and ran away to play with other children.

The old woman lowered her head, and did not hurry to sew the clothes in her hand, and the man hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Gu Mother, how did you think about that?"

The old woman did not reply, and the man continued:

"Now the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, this year's harvest is lower than in previous years, you have also seen the situation of the tribe, the last time a Gu master appeared was more than a hundred years ago, our Gu clan has completely declined into ordinary mortals, and there is really no way to survive in this place full of Gu worms......"

"I know all of that."

The old woman finished sewing the last stitch, shook off the wedding dress that was only worn when she got married, and recalled:

"We've lived here for thousands of years, and we should have moved away a long time ago, and the reason why we haven't moved is because we don't want our descendants to forget their origins and the persecution that our ancestors endured.

I'm old, I'm afraid I won't have that ability in a few more years, since you want to go, then let's go. ”

As he spoke, the old man folded the clothes in his hand neatly and put them in a red box next to him, stood up and said:

"Tell me to go down and get ready to move."

The man nodded with a little guilt, not that he didn't care about the inheritance, but that the current tribe really couldn't afford to wait, not to mention the increasingly bad living environment, just the clansmen who died from poisonous insects every year couldn't count them with both hands

The ancestors chose to settle here, and it was all kinds of poisonous insects everywhere that they were interested in, but they who lost their cultivation not only did not get any benefits, but suffered from them.

……

While the clansmen were busy packing up their things, a figure in the star field was getting closer and closer, and she ignored the poisonous mist around the stars and plunged directly into the tribe.

The girl named "Ye'er" was the first to see her, raised her hand and shouted to her friends excitedly:

"It's Aunt Miao Ling, Aunt Miao Ling is back."

The surrounding clansmen stopped their movements when they heard this, and looked at the woman with respect on their faces.

Although the girl called each other aunt, the woman who looked to be only in her twenties was nearly two hundred years old, except for the few Gu masters in the village, the rest of the people did not dare to call her by her name—if there was no accident, she would be the next Gu Mother.

When the swarthy middle-aged man saw the woman before, he also saluted respectfully: "Miao Ling Gu Master, are you back?" ”

The woman nodded with a smile and stuffed a colorful spider into the girl next to her, who immediately smiled and took the spider to chase after several other partners.

Miao Ling looked up at the direction of the tulou and said, "Is the Gu mother here?" ”

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "I went to find the Gu Mother just now, and she agreed to the relocation of the family..."

"Xiao Bolt, you are the head of the clan, everything is important to the clan, there is no need to feel guilty about this, I have no skills but I can't do anything for the clan, I am the one who should be ashamed."

The man who hadn't been called by his milk name for several years said with a slight face:

"Where, Aunt Ling, you are looking for a good way to save the family, I just promise that everyone will not starve to death."

The woman nodded, patted him on the shoulder and walked in the direction of the tulou, and the man looked at her back with a faint envy in his eyes.

When he was Ye Yatou's age, Miao Ling was already a Gu master in the clan, and the other party's appearance had not changed for so many years, and he had already stepped into the coffin with half a foot.

……

In the tulou, the old woman seemed to have known that the woman was coming, and sat quietly on the futon, smiling and groaning as always.

"Master, I'm back."

Seeing the old man, the woman's eyes were slightly red unconsciously, she hadn't seen her for decades, and there were a lot of wrinkles on the other party's face, which was extremely rare in the monk.

The old woman showed kindness and beckoned, and the woman stepped forward and sat down obediently.

"How long will you be back this time?"

"I shouldn't be able to stay long, Xiao Bolt told me that he was moving?"
