Walking out of Zabar's cave, the sky was already a little gray. At the entrance of the cave, Abigail gave a brief instruction to the three elders about worshipping their ancestors, and after speaking, the three elders ran down the mountain, while Abigail and the Great Elder led me and Nagu down the back mountain.

The mountain road in the back mountain is tortuous, the road is a little broken and bumpy, the dead branches and rotten leaves are everywhere along the way, there seem to be few people coming and going, plus the sky is raining lightly, the road is very muddy, far from the road in front of the mountain is easy to walk. But because we were descending the mountain, and with the Great Elder in front of us, we walked quickly, and in a short time we came to a bush surrounded by a low hedge. This bush was fifteen zhang square, and the branches had no flowers or leaves, and like the trees on the mountain, they were bare, and a small rag flag was planted every three or five feet on the fence outside. It had been raining for a long time, and these rag flags had been soaked with rain and drooped down, and I didn't know what they were used for.

In front of the small gate of the fence there were two Miro men dressed in rain and grass clothes, and when they saw us coming, they immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Abigail. Abigail just waved his hand, turned his head to the Great Elder, and said, "Take the long pole, we have to rush back to the Great Witch Cave Mansion before dark." ”

The Great Elder answered, walked to the small door of the fence, and took a black and yellow three-zhang bamboo pole from the door. The bamboo pole is not solid, the bamboo body is not very thick, he is quite handy to hold in his hand, at the top of the bamboo pole, with hemp rope tied to a white bone hook, under the hook hangs a small animal skin bag, probably specifically for the use of bone grass.

Holding the long pole, the Great Elder walked to the small door of the fence and pushed it open. As soon as the door opened, there was a sudden buzzing sound of insects in this bush, the sound of insects was not harsh, but the bushes shook as if there were countless small insects about to swarm out.

I was taken aback, only to hear Abigail shout, "Come in, this door must not be open for too long, or the worms in the worm pool will rush out!"

When Nagu and I stepped into the fence, the great elder standing at the door immediately closed the small door of the fence, but it was also strange that the door of the fence looked crooked, no higher than a person's waist, and as soon as it was closed, the sound of insects in the bushes disappeared without a trace, and the peace inside was restored in an instant.

I looked around to figure out where the insects were coming from, but the insects were so fast that I didn't see any small insects except for the bare bushes around me. Turning his gaze, he saw Na Gu turning his head to look at the small gate of the fence, and said with a surprised expression: "Is this the Qimen formation that traps Gu worms?"

The Great Elder smiled and said, "Sir, good eyesight, this is exactly the hedge formation laid by the Great Witch, but this hedge is not specially laid for Gu insects, but to trap the poisonous insects in the insect pool." ”

The ancient Dao: "What kind of poisonous insect should be encircled with a formation?"

Abigail, who was walking in front, turned around and said, "Sir, the worm pool is right in front of you, you can see it at a glance, please." ”

I couldn't help but think of the valley outside the Divine Dragon Cave. According to the people of the Fire Heart Dao, the valley outside the Shenlong Cave is also a kind of formation, and the reason why the fish-headed monster can't rush out is also bound by that formation. The way of Gu worms is strange and unpredictable, Rao I have seen a lot, but until now I have not figured out the mystery of this, just one formation, can trap tens of thousands of fish-headed monsters, it is really unimaginable. But the fish-headed monster is raised by people, and it is a kind of huge Gu worm, if you use the behavior of their wizard to explain that they can be trapped by a formation, it can also make sense, and Abigail said that there are not Gu worms in the worm pool, so how to use the formation to trap it? Probably Nagu also thinks so, so he has this question.

With that, Abigail took a few steps forward, picking up a clump of branches. This bush was not large, and it was not dense, and the branches of the bush were so picked up by him that there was still a long distance from the bush, and a round pit appeared in front of us.

Standing on the edge of the pit, I looked into the pit, but I felt a churn in my stomach and almost threw up.

The deep pit was densely crawled with white maggots!

It's starting to get dark. But the pit was white, and we could see it clearly. The pit was five zhang in size, and I don't know how deep, but from a high vantage point, I felt as if I was standing on the edge of a huge wooden barrel, and these white maggots filled almost the entire pit. I can't count how many maggots there are here, they are fine and densely wriggled together, but the body is of different sizes, the small one is the size of a grain of rice, and the large one has grown to the size of a human finger, and the body is bulging and bloated.

It's not a big deal, but the ones that creep me the most are the big maggots. Their heads have two rows of thin fangs.

The sound of insects just now was made by these big maggots, and these big maggots are also innumerable, and I only felt that the hairs on my body fell to the ground, and I couldn't help covering my mouth and nose. But what I didn't expect was that Nagu beside him had a strange face, and leaned forward and said, "Is this the worm pool?"

Abigail smiled and said, "This is the Worm Pool." This pond is a place where the great witch specializes in breeding insect medicine, the bottom of the pond is buried in the body of the corpse of Gu poison, after these insects eat the bones, they will transform into rare herbs over time, although the insects eat Gu poison, but they are not Gu worms, only because the body is contaminated with the spirituality of some Gu worms, so they can be circled with formations. ”

I turned my head and didn't want to look any further, but I saw that Nagu's eyes lit up, and said: "I see, it's really wonderful! The maggots have eaten away at the bones with Gu poison, not only did they not become Gu worms, but they retained their toxicity, first, to avoid the spread of diseases brought about by the rampant Gu poison, and secondly, this insect can be dried and made into a micro-poisonous herb that fights poison with poison, which is really the best of both worlds! Dawu really thought thoughtfully!"

Abigail nodded and said, "What Mr. said is good, we are humid here, and the people of the clan walk outside, and there are many damp poisons in the body. ”

I was dizzy, this kind of filthy worm can be used as a herb, no one dares to try it, right? The three of them didn't feel the slightest discomfort, maybe this was a kind of herb unique to their Western Regions, but from their mouths, such a poisonous maggot turned into a rare treasure. At this time, the Great Elder looked up at the sky and said, "Patriarch, it's getting late, and the Great Witch is still waiting in the mansion, so let's quickly pick the Bone Turning Grass, so as not to blame the Great Witch." ”

Abigail said, "Okay, you cut off a bone-turning grass, and we'll leave." ”

The Great Elder answered, holding the bamboo pole in both hands, and stretched the bone hook with the curved head into the wall on one side of the deep pit. Just now I was only looking at the maggots in the pool, and I didn't pay attention to the walls around the pit. I deliberately avoided the dense maggots in the pit, and looked at the top of the bamboo pole in his hand, only to see that on the wall of the deep pit, there were seven or eight sparse grass blades hanging like a crescent moon. The stems and leaves of these little grasses were very short, and only two curved grasses grew on each bush, hanging from the branches and leaves, and they were only a few feet tall from the white maggots in the deep pits.

At such a distance, the bamboo pole in the Great Elder's hand was enough to get the Bone Transformation Grass. At this time, I saw that his hands were just slightly forward, and the bone hook on the top of the bamboo pole had hooked a bone grass, and he quickly shook the bamboo pole back, and the bone hook was sliding through the root of the bone grass.

The Great Elder gently and skillfully put the long pole back, and Na Gu looked at the animal skin bag, and suddenly said with a point: "The Bone Transformation Grass likes evil yin, and the Bone Transformation Grass in this pool is so fat, the Great Witch's move can be said to be the best of all three." ”

Listening to him say "the best of all three", I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows faintly. By now, Nagu has finally known that it is extremely difficult to get the Miro tribe to submit to the imperial court, right? We visited Zabal twice in a row, and both times we were treated coldly by him, although Abigail is the head of the clan, but as far as I can see, he is like a puppet in front of Zabar, he will do whatever Zabal says, and he does not dare to disobey in the slightest, at first glance he is a patriarch, but he has little substantive power, and it still depends on Zabal in the major decisions of the clan. If it weren't for the fact that the ghost boy he raised killed the two members of the Heavenly Wolf Clan, and was forced by the intimidation of the imperial army, he would never have allowed us to step into their Miluo Clan, let alone treat me. Nagu said that it was the best of the three, and it was nothing more than to say that the Miluo tribe could be friendly with the Heavenly Wolf Clan and the Great Song Dynasty, but this idea now seems to have become a utopia.

When Abigail heard Nagu say such words, his face was a little hesitant, and he said, "If Mr. doesn't dislike it, when you leave, I would like to give some of these cordyceps to Patriarch Liangmu." ”

He must have guessed what was implied in the ancient saying, and probably knew that the clan could not make a decision on the attitude towards the imperial court, and the ancient said: "The grand intention of the patriarch has thanked the patriarch of Liangmu in the next, and the patriarch of Liangmu will be happy when he knows it, hehe." ”

The corners of Abigail's mouth moved, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it, just smiled and said, "Let's rush back to the Great Witch as soon as possible, so as not to get bored by the Great Witch and the others." As he spoke, he walked out of the fence.

When I got out of the hedge, it was already dark, and the Great Elder leaned the bamboo pole against the door again, and only carried the animal skin bag on the pole in his hand, and I followed the three of them and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Looking at Abigail's back, I suddenly felt that the patriarch of the Miro tribe seemed to have something unspeakable, although he had the heart to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty, but he had been avoiding talking about this matter for the past two days, maybe he was worried about Zabar, and I don't know what he was thinking.

When I returned to Zabar's cave, the cave was already busy making a piece of the cave, tonight Zabar was going to open an altar here to worship the ancestors, the three elders had called all the Miluo people to this place, a group of people were building a high platform outside the cave, and it was very lively.

As soon as he walked into the cave, the fire was blazing, and more than a dozen elders of the Miluo tribe were directing the clansmen to spread carpets on the ground, and the books and medicinal herbs on the stone walls of the cave were also covered by huge floor-to-ceiling wool. The whole cave is covered by wool, and now it looks not gorgeous, but it is also quite chic.
