Chapter 50: Preparing for War

When my words came out, Lai Aju looked at me with puzzled eyes.

She just looked at me, her mouth slightly closed, as if she wasn't trying to tell me anything.

Seeing her look like this, I hurriedly said, "Sister Aju, if you don't want to say it, forget it." ”

With that, I took the dirty handkerchief from Laiaju's hand, and went straight to the river to wash it.

The handkerchief was stained with blood, and the washing in the small river made the crystal clear water become muddy, but as the river flowed, it became clear again.

It took me a great deal of effort to clean the bloodstained handkerchief and restore it to its original color.

It was a milky white pure silk handkerchief, and there were two loving mandarin ducks embroidered on it, such a pattern is rare now, to be exact, there are fewer and fewer people who use handkerchiefs.

"Sister Aju, thank you for your handkerchief, I washed it for you."

As I spoke, I handed the cleaned handkerchief to Lai Aju.

Lai Aju reached out and took the handkerchief from my hand, stroking it with pity, "This handkerchief was given to me by Brother Sanjian at that time, this is the first and last gift he gave me. ”

Seeing that Lai Aju's mood fell again because of a handkerchief, I hurriedly opened my mouth and explained: "Sister Aju, don't worry, when I find my father, I will definitely ask him to give you a lot of gifts." ”

"Silly boy."

The dark clouds on Lai Aju's face were gone, replaced by a smile as bright as a flower, although she was not young, but at that moment, her smile was even sweeter than that of an adolescent girl.

"Okay, you are the son of Brother Sanjian, and you can be regarded as my only relative in this world, since you want to know, then let me tell you, in fact, this matter is not a secret in this clan, it is just not spread."

Originally, I had given up on pursuing those things about her parents, but I never thought that she would take the initiative to tell me, so I had to listen to them.

"Remember Grandma's son? It's the one that showed up last night. ”

"Hmm." I nodded.

"He mentioned the clan treasure of our Lai clan, do you remember?"

I nodded again.

Lai Aju continued: "In fact, my father and aunt wanted to resell the clan treasure in exchange for a lifetime of wealth, so they brought themselves to death. ”

"Clan treasure?" I wondered.

Lai Aju glanced at me, casually pointed in the direction of the altar and said to me, "I told you that you should not tell others, otherwise it will bring ruin to the clan." ”

"Well, don't worry, Sister Aju, I won't tell the third person." I replied with certainty.

Seeing that I was so sincere, Lai Aju opened her mouth and told me the secret about the Lai clan treasure......

Lai Aju said that no one has ever seen what kind of thing that clan treasure is, but the elders of the clan have passed it on by word of mouth.

It is said that the clan treasure is a worm, which is the ancestor of Miao Gu, and it is said that it usually turns into an ordinary plant, and only when the blood moon is born, it will appear in the form of a bug.

That insect is actually a strange thing that everyone has passed on by word of mouth, and it is said that if you catch it when it turns into an insect and feed it with your own blood, you can feather and ascend to a Gu Immortal.

Gu Immortal is the ceiling of the Gu Poison World in Miaojiang, and it is an existence that all Gu cultivators dream of but has an unattainable existence, with the same longevity as heaven and earth, with the sun and the moon, immortal and immortal.

But it is also such an existence, every time the insect will bring extinction to the tribe, often the tribe that has multiplied for decades will experience the strange and tragic situation of extinction overnight.

Therefore, whenever the blood moon comes, the children of the tribe will be sent out of the clan land, and wait until the blood moon disappears and then return, without exception, when those children come back, the scene will be shocking, and there are only a handful of people who can survive, and those who are alive are often insane and insane.

Nowadays, there are almost no elderly people in the land of the Lai tribe, and the only two people who experienced the last blood moon are the old grandmother and the high priest, who are said to have gone from madness to sobriety for several years.

Originally, outsiders didn't know about the blood moon and the clan treasure, but once Lai Aju's father went out and was poured some wine to tell the story.

After sobering up, he regretted it a little, but the other party actually offered him a price that was enough for him to worry about it for the rest of his life, just to get that family treasure.

So under the trend of money, Lai Aju's father started the idea of the Lai clan treasure.

I haven't experienced the horror of the last Jiazi, so naturally I haven't seen the so-called clan treasure, and I don't know what kind of plant form the clan treasure is presented in after the blood moon disappears.

So Lai's father used the same method, using wine to find some clues in the mouth of the high priest.

Later, the high priest woke up and learned of the conspiracy of Daddy Laiju, so he went to the old grandmother to denounce her.

In fact, the little clue of the high priest has no reference value at all, and Lai Aju's father and mother have been busy for a few days in vain, and they haven't even seen the shadow of the insect plant, but they have bulldozed a large area of grass.

Although the family treasure was not found, because the intentions of the two of them were clear, and they also confessed to the treasure seekers in the outside world under torture, in the end, the husband and wife both got a tragic end of ten thousand Gu devouring their bodies.

It is said that the old grandmother couldn't bear to punish the two of them at that time, but she couldn't stand the fanning of Lai Aotian and his father at that time, so she had to do it as a last resort.

Hearing this, I can be considered to know about Lai Aju's parents, and I also learned a little about the strange existence that I think is a family treasure.

The remaining time is already getting less and less, and there are only a dozen hours left before the Blood Moon falls.

Although I had heard of the strange horror, I was still looking forward to seeing it in order to see the scene of its insectification.

I was thinking about it there, and a few clansmen ran over quickly, led by Ah Hua's father.

Seeing those people running over in a hurry, Lai Aju took a few steps forward and asked, "Brother Lai, how is it?" ”

"Don't worry, all the children under the age of eighteen in the clan have been sent out, and they are now placed in the home where Leber was alive." Ah Hua's father opened his mouth in response.

"Well, that's the best, there's one more thing to work hard for you."

"Say it, it's my duty."

"Tonight is the advent of the Blood Moon, and I hope you can get all the clansmen to gather at the altar after dark, so that they can avoid the dispersal of people, and if something happens, they can respond in time."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll do it now!"

Ah Hua's father doesn't look young, but his style of action is also simple, and it seems that he is also a resolute character when he is young.

After agreeing, Ah Hua's father beckoned a few clansmen to inform the other remaining clansmen.

After the gang left, Lai Aju and I went directly to the altar to make final preparations, because this time, not only to prepare for the revival of the worm, but also to the man with ulterior motives, because he had said last night that he would definitely come.

When Lai Aju and I arrived at the altar, we saw Sai Qingfeng standing on the altar from a distance, holding his small comb in one hand and arranging his hair.

Looking at his expression, it seems that his spirit has recovered a lot, otherwise he would not have the leisure to care about his hair.

As I stepped up to the altar, I suddenly noticed that something seemed to be missing, and when I looked around, I found that the unconscious little girl was gone.

So I asked Sai Qingfeng where the little girl was.

Sai Qingfeng didn't speak, just smiled indifferently, and with a wave of his hand, from a corner not far away, the little girl slowly walked out surrounded by more than a dozen paper figures.
