Boulders stand, surrounded by sand and stone fences, as if there are people's homes.

Xiao Qingqian exuded a hint of relief from exhaustion, had he finally arrived at the residence of the witch mentioned in their words? This place is really unusual, a building made of arched boulders in the middle, surrounded by broken stones, and two huge stone doors standing in the sandstone fence, without billowing dust, in this desert compared to the mud hole of the three evil men of the wilderness.

"This year's food has been delivered to my door."

Where did such a strange sound come from? Xiao Qingqian looked around, and finally found an old woman with pale hair and wrinkled face on the top of a boulder, she stretched out her head like a lizard, and her tongue was stretched out, Xiao Qingqian couldn't help but sigh, this astrolabe is full of demons and monsters.

Thunder Roaring Tiger and Evil Devouring Monarch have long discovered her existence, as long as they don't invade her territory, they will be fine for the time being, General Guo and Xiao Qingqian are the first time they have seen this witch, and they haven't known how powerful she is, this witch is the first person to be locked in the astrolabe, and it can even be said that this Tianlun hexagonal astrolabe was forged to trap her.

"Mother-in-law! What are you doing climbing so high, be careful of falling. Xiao Qingqian shouted at her, completely unaware that she was a witch, this shout Thunder Roaring Tiger and Evil Devouring Monarch was a shock to the body of the tiger, this girl not only broke her brain, but also broke it.

The old woman was so angry that she teleported to Xiao Qingqian and poked the wound on her arm, "Who do you say is the mother-in-law?!" Xiao Qingqian was taken aback, this mother-in-law can teleport Dafa, but in her stunned eyes, this old woman was defeated, because she had already seen her appearance from Xiao Qingqian's eyes, the old woman turned to pinch Xiao Qingqian's chin, "I think your skin is good, he likes young and beautiful women, I have your skin, he will definitely like me." ”

Xiao Qingqian was so frightened that he took two steps back, although his appearance was average in the world outside the astrolabe, but if he was skinned, how could he survive, "Mother-in-law spares my life, I came this time to ask the owner of this house to save my life." ”

"Hahaha...... I sent it to the door first. ”

Xiao Qingqian was not yin at first, but it wasn't until he saw the eyes of the Thunder Roaring Tiger and the Evil Devouring Monarch that he suddenly realized that the mother-in-law in front of him was the witch in their mouths, it was really disrespectful and disrespectful, "It's because I have eyes and no beads, I heard that my mother-in-law has superb medical skills, I accidentally broke a few ribs, and I asked my mother-in-law to help me." ”

The old woman glanced at Xiao Qingqian left and right, "Save you?" What's in it for me. ”

Xiao Qingqian hurriedly took out the astrolabe from his pocket, "I have the astrolabe, and in return, I can take you out and leave this desert." ”

"In that case, why don't you just go out, there are more people outside who can save you."

"It's a long story, but with the guidance of this astrolabe, we will definitely go out." Xiao Qingqian is convinced of this.

"This deal, you can consider it, come in." The old woman turned and walked back to the boulder house, and suddenly turned back and said, "You three are not allowed to come closer, and I hate you stinky men the most." ”

Xiao Qingqian also said to the Three Evils of the Wilderness: "I'll go in first, don't worry, wait for me outside." And slowly moved his steps, step by step towards the boulder house, as if he was going to go in for major surgery, and if he couldn't get out, it would be life and death parting.

This arched boulder embedded in the house, there is another cave inside, it turns out that the stones outside are all for the wind and sand, and the old woman's real place of residence is under the sand and stone. Xiao Qingqian thought that it was just digging a huge pit in the sand and then covering it with a boulder, but he didn't expect to go down the stone steps step by step, and the space below was also jacked up with boulders, which was simple but also quite magnificent, and more importantly, the bottom was not pitch black, and the top was actually covered with glass-like spars for lighting.

"You sit there." The old woman pointed to a smooth stone and walked alone to the deeper part of the cave. Xiao Qingqian sat down, looked around, and found a human face in the brightest place, like a man, could it be that the person portrayed by her mother-in-law likes? But just now my mother-in-law said that she wanted to skin me, saying that he likes beautiful women, and this should be a negative man.

After a while, the old woman came out with an earthen pot, "I haven't refined medicine for many years, and I don't have many medicinal materials left, so I will use it." ”

"As long as you can make a good smelt." In such a desolate place, Xiao Qingqian didn't dare to hold out too much hope, so a dead horse would be a live horse doctor.

"Take your clothes off."

"Huh? What's to be done? "Xiao Qing is shallow and not yin.

"If you don't take it off, how can I give you the medicine."

It's a little embarrassing, but fortunately, it's a sports bra inside, so it's okay. Xiao Qingqian is now wearing the casual sportswear he wore before to go to Lotus Mountain, the black pants are okay, but the white sportswear has become dirty yellow, and he has not taken a bath for a few days, and his body must be stinky as salted fish.

The old woman was not so twisted, and directly touched Xiao Qingqian's back, and in an instant, Xiao Qingqian's goosebumps rose, and her rough hands were rubbed against thorns or uneven cement floors.

"This thin-skinned and tender flesh, how long has it been since I've touched such smooth skin......"

"Ahh Pain! Xiao Qingqian was touched to the most seriously injured place.

"What's it called, it's just two broken ribs." The old woman pressed her hand on the broken bone, and suddenly a hot current came to relieve the pain, Xiao Qingqian felt a lot better, and in an instant, another surging pain hit, she could even feel the movement of the bones, running-in, it really hurt so much that the scalp was numb, and her forehead was full of sweat, but this time she gritted her teeth and didn't say anything.

After the old woman removed her hand, she opened the earthen pot, took out a handful of black things from it and wiped it on Xiao Qingqian's wound, this is the most powerful, it will be hot immediately, and it will become spicy hot when it is hot, and finally it will be burned like a spicy one when it penetrates into the bones, Xiao Qingqian began to feel like it was going to explode, and after spitting blood, his eyes were so dark and painful that he lost consciousness, as if he had experienced life and death.

When she woke up, she felt a lot more comfortable in her back, not as stinging as before, and there was still a slight hot sensation on the skin where she had applied something, but it felt good. It was dark again this day, there was the sound of wind and sand roaring above, I don't know what happened to the three evils of the wilderness above, Xiao Qingqian groped in the dark, and it was so empty that he didn't touch anything, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, are you there?" ”

"You come over here." The mother-in-law's voice came, and at the same time, a stone door opened, and there was a light inside, and Xiao Qingqian walked over. Inside, although simple but palace-like, eight Roman-like columns against the top, and glowing fluorite, shining under the refraction of glazed crystals that are not pure and transparent, it is really a desert mansion, and the old woman is sitting in the middle.

Xiao Qingqian looked at her back and asked, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing?" Xiao Qingqian walked to her side and squatted down, and the moment she saw her face, she suddenly sat on the ground, her mother-in-law was no longer the mother-in-law she saw during the day, but a monster with a hideous face! It was indescribably terrifying, the flesh was torn, her mouth was full of fangs, there were horns between her heads, and her hands were only left with Sensen's white bones and no flesh, "Are you afraid?" The old woman just spoke and didn't move.

"I didn't ...... Yes, sort of......, by the way, do you have water? Can you give me some water? Xiao Qingqian quickly regained his composure, after all, this is a different world full of demons and monsters, no matter what he encounters, he doesn't need to be too surprised.

"There is no water within a radius of 500 miles, 500 miles underground."

Unexpectedly, the witch didn't have a drop of water, so Xiao Qingqian had to change the topic: "My injuries have healed a lot, thank you." ”

"You'll leave at dawn." The old woman remained motionless.

"Well, mother-in-law, how did you become like this?" Xiao Qingqian's curiosity was committed again.

"You want to know?"

Xiao Qingqian nodded.

"It was a long, long time ago, I am the daughter of the Jiuli tribe, the descendant of Chiyou, because of the destruction of the Nuwa clan, the Xuanyuan clan ordered someone to cast this astrolabe with the meteorite that fell when Pangu opened the world, locked me in, and took away my appearance, and it became extremely ugly at night."

Tribe? Nu wa? Xuanyuan Chiyou? Ji Nu? Whore? …… What is this all about? Xiao Qingqian couldn't understand a word, how could he feel that they were all characters in ancient mythology, the battle of the Yellow Emperor Chiyou in mythology was tens of thousands of years ago, could it be that the mother-in-law was already a person tens of thousands of years ago?

Many things in the past the old woman has forgotten, and even she has forgotten that she has changed from a beautiful Ji girl to an ugly and vulgar Ji mother-in-law now, there is only one thing she remembers for a lifetime, the person she loves deeply just loves her beauty, I didn't expect this negative person to meet the more beautiful Nuwa descendants, when the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan clan and the Jiuli tribe fought, the negative person betrayed Jiuli, and cooperated with the Nuwa tribe to attack Jiuli, after the defeat of Jiuli, Ji Nu escaped from death, and vowed to wash the Nuwa tribe in blood, and finally she sacrificed dark witchcraft with blood, With the dark power of the entire Nuwa clan, the Xuanyuan clan forged this astrolabe in order to avenge the Nuwa clan, and locked Ji Nu and the dark power in the astrolabe for eternity, but the dark power is gradually subverting the world of the astrolabe, just like the roaring night outside at this moment.

The old woman remembered her slowly, but there was no emotional component. Xiao Qingqian listened to this story fascinated, just like her grandmother telling a story by the bedside before going to bed at night, and she slept on the most peaceful night in the astrolabe.

At dawn, the night and the wind and sand were withdrawn, the old woman's appearance was restored to the appearance of the day, and Xiao Qingqian's injuries were healed, but the old woman refused Xiao Qingqian's invitation, she didn't plan to leave the astrolabe, she had been here for too long and too long, the outside world was not her world, and there was no one waiting for her.
