Xiuxiu stepped forward and took a closer look: "Hey, why is this stone shining!" ”

Then he reached for it. Shen Mingjiao couldn't stop it. Looking at the bright red on the stone, he shook his mind slightly. Then he handed the stone back to Shen Mingjiao.

"I haven't seen it. But it's weird and pretty! ”

Shen Mingjiao looked at her in surprise, and couldn't be disappointed at all, "Do you feel uncomfortable at all, that is, when you stare at the stones, do you feel ......dizzy?"

Xiuxiu shook her head honestly: "No!" After speaking, he stared at the stone and felt it seriously for a while: "Except for feeling a little dizzy, I didn't feel dizzy!" ”

After speaking, she asked with great interest: "Is this your precious gem from the Central Plains?" ”

Shen Mingjiao took the stone and rubbed it back and forth in his hand: "No, this stone was picked up by accident, I heard that it came from your Miao Jiang, and it happened that I came here to have something, so I asked casually." ”

But he has already thought about it in his heart, since he saw this stone in Qishan, no matter who it is, even if he is as strong as Feng Lisheng, when he sees this stone, he will be affected by it and hallucinate.

This is the first person other than her to come into contact with the stone unaffected.

Shen Mingjiao stuffed the stone into her hand again, "Take a good look at it, do you feel anything else?" ”

Xiuxiu played with it for a while, and smiled embarrassedly: "I won't tell you, I feel that I have an inexplicable sense of intimacy with this stone." After speaking, she laughed first: "Haha! But that's normal, I've always loved shiny things since I was a kid. ”

Shen Mingjiao couldn't laugh, she thought of the inexplicable intimacy she felt when she first saw this stone.

For a while, she who had never believed in ghosts and gods was a little magical, could it be that this stone was useless to the Miao people?

Xiuxiu didn't know what she was thinking, so she held her cheeks and said to herself:

"But if you really want to inquire, you can ask our mother-in-law in the village, she is the oldest and most respected old man in the village, and she likes to tell funny stories to the juniors."

Shen Mingjiao naturally didn't have an opinion: "Then it's troublesome Xiuxiu." ”

Xiuxiu waved her hand absently and continued to stare at the stone. "But Granny Chang's house is a bit out of the ordinary, let Ah Niu take you there another day."

The two talked for a while, and seeing that it was not early, Shen Mingjiao said goodbye and went back to the room to rest.

On the second day, the witch physician came back and said, "I have asked, but the patriarch has never seen that kind of stone. ”

Shen Mingjiao said "oh", "I want to meet your patriarch." ”

Through Xiuxiu's reaction last night, she became more and more sure that this stone was related to the Miao people.

The witch physician nodded indifferently: "I asked the patriarch to come and see you." With that, he planned to go back to his room.

Shen Mingjiao stopped him and told the Wu Imperial Physician about Xiuxiu's reaction when she saw the stone last night: "Do you think it could be that the blood of your Miao tribe is different from ours?" ”

After hearing this, the witch physician suddenly came to his senses: "What difference can there be, the blood of people in the world is so big that it can be divided into four types, and it has nothing to do with race.

But what Madame said makes sense, I'll go to the girl to get some blood......"

Shen Mingjiao hurriedly stopped the person: "How can there be a good person who wants to take other people's blood, I tell you this because I want you to do research on my blood,"

As he spoke, he rolled up his wrist and motioned for him to pump casually.

Inexplicable hypnosis, and the familiarity of those stones. Coupled with rebirth, if you think about it carefully, there are quite a lot of strange things that happened to her, if it weren't for the ghosts and gods, then it can only explain that her blood may be different from others.

However, she only had the attitude of giving it a try, and did not have much hope

……

As a medical idiot who is dedicated to research, Wu Taiyi is an absolute person who doesn't talk much.

didn't care if she would offend her, the princess, so she picked up the sterilized knife and made a precise slash somewhere on her wrist, and put a small half bowl of blood before stopping.

Shen Mingjiao covered the bandaged wound and hissed in pain, "I'm curious, Doctor Wu, you are so upright, how did you survive in the palace?" ”

Doctor Wu carefully put her blood into a porcelain bottle and sealed it, as if she were treating some rare treasure, and said very upright and immodestly when she heard the words: "Because I am a genius who is both medical and poisonous, Your Majesty needs to use the poison I made, and he is reluctant to kill me." ”

Shen Mingjiao: Why does "......" focus on drug production, is this a royal secret that I can listen to?

Xiuxiu took Shen Mingjiao to the stilted building where the patriarch of Wujiazhai lived,

The Wu patriarch was a gentle man in his fifties, with a slight resemblance to the witch physician between his eyebrows.

When Shen Mingjiao came over, the Wu patriarch was flipping through the medicinal herbs, and when she heard the movement, she put down the bamboo basket. Came over and performed a Miao etiquette.

"Madame, please, yesterday my cousin came and said that Madame wants to live here for a while, I wonder if the grass people can help Madame?"

Obviously, the witch doctor came over yesterday and roughly revealed the identity of Shen Mingjiao and his party to him.

Shen Mingjiao smiled and waved his hand: "Patriarch Wu is polite. She glanced at the herbs drying in the basket beside her:

"Hey, this is Tianma! Or is it top-grade, the patriarch understands medicine? ”

The Wu patriarch beckoned his wife to tea, "How can the grass people know what medical skills?" I only know how to make some simple things. ”

"That's not bad, these medicinal materials are in excellent condition, and they should be able to sell for a good price."

Patriarch Wu shook his head: "Madame doesn't know, we have a steep mountain here, and few medicine merchants come here, most of the people who come here are timber merchants, and some timber merchants will bring some concocted medicine by the way when they leave."

However, young people prefer to go into the mountains to hunt and log. For those of us who are old and have nothing to do, we can earn some hard-earned money by the way! ”

Wenshan City is rich in timber, which is one of the main sources of income for the Miao people.

Shen Mingjiao glanced at the row of medicinal herbs on the shelf, including gastrodia, cordyceps, He Shou Wu, Chonglou, and Dendrobium......

Almost everything is a precious medicinal herb outside, but in the mouth of the Wu patriarch, it is like a worthless green vegetable radish sold by the way.

After thinking about it carefully, it is understood that it is mainly due to the terrain, although these medicinal materials are precious, they are not absent in other places, and the medicine merchants cannot afford to risk their lives over the mountains and mountains. And a lot of timber is only available in Wenshan.

Thinking about this, she said directly: "I heard that you have a lot of notoginseng here, I can help you draw the strings and sell the concocted notoginseng to the army, and the price will not be disadvantageous to you, I wonder if the Wu patriarch wants to do this business?" ”

Last time, she happened to hear Feng Lisheng and Feng Wu discussing, saying that there was a shortage of typhoid medicine in the army, and there were still people who were greedy for ink, Feng Lisheng disposed of a group of people, but he couldn't find a suitable source of medicine for a while, and Sanqi only came out in the past few years, and was known as the holy medicine for healing, if it was used in the army, it could save many soldiers.

"However, I'm only in charge of matchmaking, can I be chosen? Rely on yourselves. ”

When the Wu patriarch heard this, it can be described as a thousand thanks, or that sentence, no one will have trouble with money, and as the head of a clan, he naturally has to think about the livelihood in the village.

Next, the Wu patriarch and his wife treated Shen Mingjiao more enthusiastically, almost answering all questions.

“…… I've never seen any of these stones, but I can get a few people in the stockade to inquire about each other. ”

"Then it's a hassle for the patriarch."

"Madame asked the Divine Witch Village!" The Wu patriarch straightened his face and said, "The Divine Witch Village is in a deep mountain to the north, and the people there are almost isolated from the world. It's been thousands of years! ”

"Then no one has ever come out?"

"Not really." The Wu patriarch took a sip of tea, "This matter has to start from a thousand years ago, our Miao people first existed in the Yanhuang Chiyou period, and then passed down from generation to generation, until about a thousand years ago, when the troubled times, our Miao people were weak, and it was difficult to survive in the troubled times."

Later, we met a very powerful wizard at that time, because the age is too old, how specific is impossible to know, in short, the great wizard sheltered our Miao people, so that the whole clan survived in the troubled times.

Later, it is said that the great wizard was beheaded by the Lord of Troubled Times for his misfortune. Since then, no one has dared to mention the great wizard again.

The clan only dared to worship secretly, but one of the clansmen surnamed Shui was a diehard loyalist of the great wizard, who was bent on believing that the great wizard was killed by someone, and stubbornly wanted to resurrect the great wizard by sacrificing it.

The contradictions between the two sides intensified, and the last one moved to the birthplace of the great wizard, calling itself the god witch village, and the clansmen closed the village and kept the ancestral inheritance. ”

The Wu patriarch sighed: "After thousands of years, our Miao people have been influenced by Han culture, and from generation to generation, some things that have been handed down in ancient times have gradually faded. On the contrary, the Divine Witch Village has kept those things at all. ”

The gist is that the Miao people outside the Shenwu Village have gradually been sinicized, and the Shenwu Village still looks like an ancient aborigine.

Shen Mingjiao asked: "The great wizard that the team leader said, but is it called Yaoguang?" ”

"Yes, but because of the age, many books and silk silks were burned, and these things were passed down from generation to generation by the old man according to a few words, and Madame just took it as a story to listen to." Apparently he didn't believe it himself.

"In short, the people of Shenwu Village are very stubborn and ignorant. They easily did not allow outsiders to step in, and there was a lot of mist and miasma outside the stockade. ”

Shen Mingjiao: "Then they really sacrifice living people!" ”

Speaking of this stubble, the Wu patriarch's face was ugly: "That's not true, but it's about the same." Almost twenty years ago, some saint in the witch village escaped, and was just rescued by a teenager in our village.

At that time, the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel, and the saint was not a good thing, and Eun took revenge and indirectly killed the boy who saved her. It was also at that time that we happened to learn from the mouth of the Divine Witch Village,

The so-called living sacrifice is to throw the chosen girl into a cave overgrown with poisonous weeds and stones and leave her to fend for herself, which those people call a forbidden place. It is said that those who are thrown into it will die of madness within two hours. ”

After the Wu patriarch finished speaking, he sighed repeatedly.

Shen Mingjiao was stunned after hearing this. It sounded ridiculous, but she keenly grasped a few important points.

When there is poisonous weed, everyone who enters the cave will go crazy to death, and there is the legendary Yaoguang wizard.

The only thing she was sure of was that the stones were coming from there.
