Northern Xinjiang, the northernmost place in the entire Cangjie, is a paradise for poisonous insects and beasts, sparsely populated.

The only inn here is called "Northern Xinjiang Inn". It is said that the owner's family has been running the inn here for nearly a thousand years.

The owner of the inn is surnamed Miao, and the legend is the outer branch of the Holy Clan in Northern Xinjiang, and some people say that in fact, the boss of Miao is a member of the Holy Clan, but in the name of opening an inn, as an outpost of the Holy Clan, he monitors and observes the travelers who go to the Northern Xinjiang to prevent them from disturbing the "Holy Maiden".

Xiao Ting looked at the dilapidated ancient inn in front of him, there were things like bird cages hanging under the eaves of the inn, but inside were scorpions, poisonous snakes, spiders and other poisons that were most common in northern Xinjiang, which made Xing'er scared for a while.

Xiao Ting comforted Xing'er softly, and then walked into the inn with Mengbao.

"Hit the tip or stay in the hotel?"

There were no guys in the inn, only the boss was alone, and he was concentrating on fiddling with a small crockpot at the moment, and when he heard someone coming in, he asked without raising his head.

Xiao Ting looked at the old man who was almost old and wrinkled, and said with a smile: "Boss, the two upper rooms are serving some wine and food to our brothers and sisters."

The innkeeper turned his head at this time, looked at Xiao Ting with cloudy eyes, and then his eyes fell on Meng Bao behind the two, stayed for a moment, and said in a lengthened tone: "Wilderness shop, there is nothing that goes to the room and does not go to the room, it's all the same!" As for the wine and food, the wine is only realgar wine, and the dishes are also nearby game. ”

Xiao Ting smiled and said, "That's good, trouble the boss."

The boss let out an "um" with his nose and turned to get ready.

Xiao Ting and the others followed the boss to the second floor, put the things they carried in the room, and turned back downstairs, after a while, the boss brought a few small dishes to the table, and opened a small jar of wine, and then dropped a sentence "Look for me again when you drink it up", then went back to the account table and sat down, fiddling with the previous crockpot.

Xing'er secretly stuck out her tongue at Xiao Ting, and whispered, "Brother Ting, this old man is a little weird."

Xiao Ting smiled and said, "I think it's okay." Although it has been broken for a long time, the house is still clean, and the food and drinks are reasonable. ”

After that, he poured himself a glass of wine, put it under his nose and smelled it, and nodded secretly.

Xiao Ting and Xing'er talked to the boss while eating wine and food: "Dare to ask the boss, how long have you been running an inn here?"

The boss didn't look back and said, "My ancestors have been here for generations, and they're all rotting here!"

Xiao Ting smiled and continued to ask, "Does the boss know which direction the Holy Clan in Northern Xinjiang is located?"

The boss put down the crockpot in his hand, cast a cloudy gaze on Xiao Ting, and asked after a while, "What is the matter with the guest officer looking for the Holy Clan?" Is it to invite the gods or to exorcise them? ”

The Holy Clan is known for its sting, and the so-called "stalk" is a poisonous insect or plant that is refined by a stool master with a special technique.

The simplest method of making insects is to put 12 kinds of poisonous insects such as scorpions, poisonous snakes, and spiders in an altar the size of a small abdomen on May 5, and seal and bury them in the deep pit dug in advance in the main hall.

After that, the teacher needs to pray sincerely every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, for a year.

During this year's time, the poisonous insects in the altar devoured each other because they were hungry and had no food, and the poisonous ones ate the less poisonous ones, and the strong ones ate the weak ones, until finally, there was only one mutated poisonous insect left in the altar, which was the last "beetle".

And "蠱" is also the name of the outside world, and people in the holy clan are used to becoming "gods". This kind of "god" is said to have all kinds of miraculous means, some can protect the safety of the master, or make the master rich, or remove unnecessary troubles for the master, or even, kill!

And this kind of beetle, which is what the Holy Race calls "gods", is generally divided into self-use and other use. He may give it to others for his use. Over the years, the Holy Clan has come to visit and beg for help, not to mention an endless stream of dignitaries, but it also happens from time to time, and this begging is what the shopkeeper called "please God." ”

From a literal point of view, you can know that it is made by putting all kinds of poisonous insects in a vessel and finally refining. And some evil schemers will use the scorpion to poison others to achieve their own goals. And the so-called "exorcism" is also what the masters often do: it is to carry out the ritual of detoxification and removal of the worm for the person who is in the worm.

Hearing this, Xiao Ting shook his head slightly and said, "Neither." I'm just here to see the most mysterious people in the Firmament. ”

The boss stared at Xiao Ting directly, and said after a while: "The Holy Clan is xenophobic, if there is no special matter, you will generally not meet outsiders. If it is entangled, it is impossible to say that some teachers will expel the worm and even harm people's lives. I advise you to dispel this thought. ”

Xiao Ting arched his hand slightly: "Thank you boss for your kindness." But I'm here for the Holy Family. In any case, it is necessary to meet the people of the Holy Family. So I'm sorry to ask the boss for some advice. ”

The old shopkeeper, with a faint light flashing in his cloudy eyes, looked at Xiao Ting for a moment, turned his head and said, "Another young man who is not afraid of death!" For the sake of the Holy Clan's avoidance beads, I really don't even want my life. ”

Hearing the three words "avoiding the pearl", Xiao Ting's heart moved, but he didn't ask a question, but continued to wait for the old man's answer.

The old man slowly covered the crockpot with a piece of green tile, and Xiao Ting probed carefully through his divine sense, which clearly contained all kinds of poisonous insects, spiders, mice, scorpions, centipedes, etc., as many as eighteen kinds.

But the amazing thing is that these poisonous insects do not have any contact with each other, as if they all have their own territory, and they are clearly separated from each other, without the slightest transgression.

The boss carefully put away the crockpot, glanced at Xiao Ting again, and said slowly: "If you are really not afraid of death, just pass through the ten thousand poisonous forest in front of the inn, and you will naturally be able to see the location of the Northern Xinjiang Holy Clan."

Xiao Ting was surprised: "It's that simple?"

"Simple?" The old man sneered, and the mouth that was missing two front teeth grinned a mocking smile, "That's the Ten Thousand Poison Forest, the first line of defense used by the Holy Clan to defend against invasion. The forest is full of poisonous insects and beasts used by the Holy Clan to control insects, and if you encounter outsiders, you will definitely attack wildly until you poison and eat them! In the past thousands of years, there have been 8,000 people from all over the world who have died in the Ten Thousand Poison Forest! Even a cultivator of the True Emperor Realm didn't dare to say that he would be able to finish this journey safely. Boy, do you still think this trip is easy? ”

Xiao Ting listened carefully, smiled at the old man and said, "I've been taught!"

Seeing that Xiao Ting didn't listen to persuasion and insisted on going to the Ten Thousand Poison Forest, the old man didn't say anything more, but just said: "If you want to die, I won't stop you." But don't take your sister with you! There are all kinds of strange poisonous insects in the Ten Thousand Poison Forest, don't scare this little girl to death before she is poisoned! If you die, leave this little girl, and every July 7, I can also burn some paper money for you! ”

With that, he turned and left.

Xiao Ting smiled and watched the old man walk out of the inn. I thought to myself, this old man is weird, but his heart is very kind.
