Under the light of the faint fluorescence of the stone wall, the whole body of the amethyst emits purple light, and its inner core is even more purple and black, almost demonic.

Wu Wei retracted his thoughts and hid the amethyst back to his body.

"You're guarding him here. If there is any movement, please come up and let me know at any time. Wu Wei instructed the little green snake, and it wagged its tail perfunctorily, not knowing whether it really understood or fakely understood.

"Little one." Wu Wei smiled slightly, touched its head, cleaned it up briefly, and left the stone room.

At this time, in the courtyard, there were already two people waiting for a long time.

Seeing these two people, Wu Wei was stunned at first, and then greeted him casually: "Zou Ji, Wu Yong, why didn't you tell me when you came?" How long have you been standing? ”

"It didn't take long. Aren't you busy treating the sick and saving people, so we didn't go down to bother you. "The fat man who is known as Wu Yong is honest and honest.

"The blood in the execution ground is too big, and the offender is rushing, so I'm here to ask for the medicine to strengthen my courage." Zou Ji's face showed a trace of abnormal ruddyness, and he said weakly: "By the way, there is also quicklime, which relieves itching." ”

Wu Wei nodded: "Follow me." ”

Quickly grasped the medicine, sealed it into a package and handed it to the two of them.

Zou Ji took it and said with a hippie smile: "My tribute is almost gone, so I'll take credit first." I'll make it up to you after serving the remnant yin god. ”

Dazhai is a closed village, and the currency in circulation is the so-called "tribute piece" issued by the owner of the village, which is made of a special kind of bamboo that needs to be exchanged for labor.

The samurai pharmacy, along with the other four pharmacies in Dazhai, only collect tribute tablets, and pay one-third of the annual tax amount, one-third for clothing, and one-third for the purchase of raw materials such as herbs.

To a certain extent, these five pharmacies can be regarded as iron rice bowls with high status in Dazhai, at least they can ensure that they can eat and drink without worry.

Although the prescriptions of each family are different, they are all kept secret to the extreme, and the father dies and the son succeeds.

For example, Wu Wei's predecessor was familiar with the prescriptions inherited from his family since he was a child.

When Wu Wei crossed over, although he didn't know the pharmacology, every prescription had already been memorized, and he just grabbed it.

Hearing Zou Ji say this, Wu Wei did not have any surprises, but Wu took out two tribute pieces from his arms with a soothing and handed them to Wu Wei.

Wu Wei was surprised: "Where did you get the tribute?" ”

This little fat man Wu Yong's father died early, his mother was sick, and then the condition became more and more serious, Wu Yong had to serve his mother at home almost every day, and it was difficult to have free time to go out to farm in exchange for tribute, and he had been on credit with Wu Wei for the past two years.

Wu said with a wrinkled face: "I saved it." I know it's not enough, so let's pay it back first. ”

"Brother, I have a lot of oil and water here, and I don't lack your tribute." Wu Wei stuffed the two tribute coins back, and saw that Wu Yong was a little anxious, and said, "It's really not good, let's take credit first." This time is difficult, brother and I can't help anything else, and my aunt's few pairs of medicinal materials can still be prepared. ”

"What are you polite to him?" Zou Ji sneered: "There are less than two years left before the Remnant Yin Ceremony." Wait for the believers who have been chosen as the great god of the remnant yin, you can have as many medicinal materials as you want. ”

Wu Yong stammered: "I know my brother's heart. But now it's not the same as in the past, now there are so many refugees, those who lack arms and legs are sent to you, and none of the other shops are willing to accept them, and you are also under a lot of pressure......"

"I have my own measure, you take care of yourself first." Wu Wei smiled, but his tone was unrefusable.

This little fat man Wu Yong is also the hair of his predecessor, and it is rare to be a true temperament, but it is an alternative in this big village.

"This ...... That's fine. Seeing that Wu Wei was so resolute, Wu Yong no longer insisted, and nodded heavily at Wu Wei.

......

......After the two of them left, Wu Wei frowned, and thought carefully while grabbing the medicine.

Finally, from the vague memory, I pieced together this so-called remnant yin canon.

This remnant yin ceremony is held once every ten years, nominally to worship and sacrifice the remnant yin god, but the highlight is to select the young girls who have reached the age of 16 to worship under the remnant yin god, accept the divine power, and join the ranks of believers who protect Dazhai.

Sounds like that's fine.

But what really made his face change and his heart flutter was that he suddenly remembered that this worship ceremony was not as simple as he imagined.

Believers who have been chosen to become the Great God of the Remnant Yin should sacrifice a part of their body as a guide in the flesh to show their gratitude and loyalty to the gifts of the Great God of the Remnant Yin.

In Dazhai, believers are always elusive and rarely show up.

In the past three years, Wu Wei has not seen much, and he has even fewer impressions.

Thinking about it carefully, the two big men who escorted the woman in white to the execution ground in the morning only had eight fingers.

The severed fingers were supposed to be a symbol of sacrifice.

If it's two fingers...... It's okay if it's broken.

What if more?

Thinking of this, Wu Wei felt a shudder.

There are less than two years to go.

If it weren't for Zou Ji mentioning it, he would have forgotten about it, or rather, he never thought about it.

It is impossible to run.

Staying and participating in the Remnant Yin Ceremony, there is a probability that you will not be selected.

It's just a matter of luck, who can tell? If you don't know where it is in line with the mind of the remnant yin god, wouldn't you be caught in the net?

He didn't have the slightest interest in using his mutilated body to inherit the so-called divine power and go out to fight the life and death with the demon beast.

I'd rather live in the medicine hall for the rest of my life.

It's a pity that the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, not to mention the remnant yin ceremony two years later, this Dazhai is a Jedi in the vast demon sea, and now the beast tide is menacing, and the people in Dazhai are in turmoil, but it makes him smell a trace of mountain rain and wind full of buildings.

"A lot of people are probably going to die......"

He looked at the gloomy sky and thought helplessly.

Evening.

Wu Wei went down to the underground stone chamber and saw the man lying on the stone bed, his face ruddy, his breathing evenly, and it seemed that he had survived.

At this time, a green snake head suddenly emerged from his arms, startling him.

"What's so elusive?" He tapped his finger on the little green snake's head.

The little green snake rubbed his fingers affectionately, and then his whole body wrapped around the amethyst, and spit out a rare snake hyacinth.

According to Wu Wei's observations, this is generally only the case when it encounters a food that he likes very much.

"Is it possible...... Do you want this amethyst? Wu Wei held the amethyst and the little green snake in the palm of his hand, and said suspiciously.

This is a bit of a strange thing.

Touching his chin, he walked to a corner of the stone chamber and put the amethyst and the little green snake in an inconspicuous hole in the corner.

The little green snake was afraid of people, so he specially built a snake nest for it.

Looking at the light of the amethyst, the scales on the little green snake's body were faintly purple, and he suddenly felt that his previous thinking seemed to be biased.

"Always thinking about people, the road is narrow......"

He touched his chin thoughtfully.
