After a while, the old woman changed her clothes again and took Qiu Xin to the altar next door, and when she left, the little girl Ah Nan also said to Qiu Xin, "Big brother, when the poison on your body is resolved, we will go to the mountain to collect medicine together." ”

Qiu Xin loved her very much, she didn't say anything, just smiled, but secretly promised in her heart, and when they walked out of the courtyard and walked into the altar, Ah Nan bowed to the tall statue on the altar, her two big eyes were tightly closed, and she prayed silently in her heart.

The Miao people live in the Southern Wilderness, where food is scarce and full of dangers, so their godly devotion is not comparable to that of the people of the Central Plains.

The stone on which the altar was built was hard and thick, and the traces of the tools that had been used to dig it were still clear, and the statue of the god in the center of the altar was ten feet high, and it could be seen far away.

Standing on the altar, I saw that the idol was tall and majestic, but the face of the idol was handsome and extraordinary, and the expression of his hair was like that of a person from the Central Plains.

Qiu Xin and the old woman walked through the bottom of the statue, passed through a door, and went down to the top of the stairs, leading to the deep priest's place, and when the old woman entered the altar, she looked very religious, and her rickety waist bent even lower.

Go down to the last step, only to see a little light of lights, the warm yellow light makes this place quiet and mysterious, the structure of the underground palace is very simple, along a corridor in the center of the corridor, surrounded by five stone chambers.

The door of the stone room is distinguished by the five characters of tao, hu, 畚, cockroach, and collapse, the old woman walked to the cockroach room with Qiu Xin, in front of the stone door, the old woman pressed a piece of gravel next to her, and then took a step back to stand.

After a while, a person walked out of the cockroach room, only thirty or forty years old, very young, and the most important thing is that he was dressed in Central Plains costumes, all over his body, and there was no Miao appearance, but seeing that the old woman was very respectful to him, Qiu Xin also bowed his hand.

The priest smiled at the old woman, "Flowing Palmetto, this young man is indeed good, and the most important thing is to be obedient. Qiu Xin was slightly embarrassed when she heard this, she saw that the old woman was so godly, and she didn't dare to act excessively, so when she walked into the altar, she followed behind her resignedly, and she didn't look around.

Then the old woman said, "Saving him, Lord Priest, is a small matter, but you will have to worry a lot about my granddaughter." Although the priest looked much younger than the old woman, for some reason, Qiu Xin always felt that the ages of the two should be reversed.

The priest seemed to see the confusion in Qiu Xin's eyes, and did not answer the old woman's words, but explained to Qiu Xin, "I am one or twenty years older than Liuyu. ”

Qiu Xin Wenyan was shocked in his heart, the priest's face was never old, but he did call the old woman's full name during the conversation, and Qiu Xin heard it for the first time since he arrived in the village.

Then the priest said, "I saw it when I was young, and I don't know if it exists today, and we must say that before." ”

The corners of Liuyu's mouth twitched, suddenly there was no respect, his eyes opened, his chest stiffened, and then he opened his mouth to spit out a golden silkworm, and the priest took out a transparent jade box from behind him, and steadily connected the golden silkworm into the box.

Qiu Xin clearly saw the ecstasy on the priest's face, and the golden silkworm in the box seemed to feel something, and rolled desperately, trying to climb out, but the priest put his hands together and trapped it.

Seeing this, Qiu Xin didn't know what this thing was, but Liupal hesitated and regretted many times in the past two days, and naturally got an explanation, and when he thought of this, he was grateful.

The priest also silently put away the jade box, "You also know that to cure the poison in his body, only my golden Gu can, although your golden silkworm is strange, but it will never have this effect, and this treatment, my golden Gu will also be greatly injured, for the sake of Miao Village, I have to do this." ”

Liupalmetto turned around at this time, and seemed to be a lot older in an instant, "Liupal understands that if something is done, there must be something sincere, please do it first." ”

The priest nodded, beckoned to Qiu Xin, and motioned for him to enter the stone room, Qiu Xin glanced at Liuyu, and then stepped forward, the priest in front, Qiu Xin followed.

The sound of the stone door closing, the flowing palmetto outside the door suddenly fell to the ground, gasping for breath, trembling all over, raising her hand to see, her ten fingers began to turn blue, like corpse spots, and after a while, she struggled to stand up and leave.

.........

"Young man, I know you have a lot of questions, such as what conditions do you want me to save you, or what she asks me to do or let you do, or why I am like a Central Plains person and not a Miao person, of course, I won't tell you, because Liupalmetto didn't let me tell you, I just need to save you, and you don't have to ask me, because I won't answer if you ask, ha......"

The priest couldn't come out of the altar and seemed to rarely talk to people, and it was for this reason that the priest would say so many words to Qiu Xin, who was a little stunned, and he swallowed the words back from his mouth again.

At this time, the priest's expression was straight, "You ask, you ask me before I can put forward conditions." Qiu Xin nodded and smiled, "If the seniors have anything to ask, just ask, and the juniors know everything..."

"Stop, I don't have anything to ask. The priest looked left and right in the stone room with his hands behind his back, and Qiu Xin saw that he didn't have the slightest intention of starting, so he asked, "Senior, when will it start?" ”

The priest laughed when he heard this, "Okay, it's decided at this time, I answer your question, you promise me one thing, no repentance, I'll start now, don't go back on what you promised me." ”

The priest said this very quickly, and did not give Qiu Xin any chance to interrupt at all, Qiu Xin only felt a smile in his heart, embarrassed and did not know what to say.

The priest was satisfied, and he didn't know what he had done, when the stone wall on his left hand side suddenly opened, and there was a room in the room, and the priest walked in first, "Come in." ”

Qiu Xin did as he said, walked into the stone room, and looked at the large and small bamboo cages, which came out with a small and creepy sound, and Qiu Xin looked at it, full of beetles and other reptiles.

At this time, the priest said, "There are many insects in the mountains and forests, and there are many diseases in the Miao region, so almost every Miao person will raise Gu and accompany them for life, until they die of old age, and the Gu worms they raise will die......

"Could it be that the old woman used her own Gu to exchange her predecessor to save me?" the priest nodded when he heard this, and said again, "Planting Gu is the rite of passage for the Miao people, and the insects here are all embryos of raising Gu, providing Gu guidance for the entire village." ”

"Alright, you come with me. Qiu Xin nodded, this inner room is only ten zhang square, almost full of insects, only the middle is still empty, the priest took Qiu Xin to the center.

I saw a few ropes hanging down, sacrificed Qiu Xin's ankles, and walked to a stone wall, saying, "Hold the ground with both hands, don't fall to death." As soon as the words ended, before Qiu Xin could react, the priest pulled his hands, and the ropes on Qiu Xin's feet moved, and the whole person fell.

If it weren't for Qiu Xin's martial arts practice, he would really be killed this time, and as the rope was pulled higher and higher, Qiu Xin's whole person was hoisted to the center of the entire stone room, three feet above the ground.

Qiu Xin only felt the bitter water in his stomach flow out of his throat, and he tried to raise his neck, Qiu Xin saw the solemnity on the priest's face like never before, at least after he entered the altar, this was his most serious moment.

Like a palmetto, the priest's chest bulged, and he suddenly roared, and spat out a cloud of golden liquid from his mouth and placed it in the palm of his hand.

He gently dragged it to Qiu Xin, and poured the golden liquid in his hand down Qiu Xin's nasal cavity, if he hadn't seen the scene of the priest taking the Gu, Qiu Xin might have accepted it calmly, but at this time, he felt that his chest was tumbling and his throat was retching.

After the golden liquid entered the nasal cavity, it turned into a golden silk thread, which was untraceable, and first entered the Tianshu Lingtai in Qiuxin, the golden liquid was pervasive, and it seemed to be the nemesis of the black corpse poison, and everywhere it passed, the black corpse poison was eroded cleanly.

The black corpse poison was originally tightly attached to Qiu Xin's flesh and blood, but when it was eliminated like this, it naturally had nowhere to go, and it was suddenly mixed with alcohol, flowing out of Qiu Xin's seven orifices and dripping on the ground.

Drops of black corpse poison are like thick pulp, very disgusting, although the golden liquid is powerful, but the corpse poison in Qiu Xin's body is stubborn and abnormal, and it has been raising corpses with corpses for many days, as if it has grown in Qiu Xin's flesh and blood.

In particular, the scapular organs and various meridians are particularly serious, so when the golden liquid flows to these places, Qiu Xin will be in pain, and he can be punished by Ling Chi.

With the fusion of alcohol, but there are so many meridians in the human body, the golden liquid is only a small lump, and it is like rain falling on the sea in an instant, which seems insignificant.

Later, the corpse poison had fallen into a large pool, accompanied by the smell of alcohol, which was extremely unpleasant, and the insects in the stone chamber seemed to be attracted and began to move violently.

The priest seemed to have expected this, but he kept looking at Qiu Xin, and the golden liquid took the lead in removing the corpse poison from his limbs and brain, and finally entered the viscera.

But at this time, the golden liquid is moving more and more slowly, firstly, it is the source of poison here, and secondly, after such a long time of detoxification, the golden liquid is about to be unable to hold on.

At this time, the priest's face was also sweaty, it seemed to communicate with the golden liquid, and there was still a little worry in his eyes, the golden liquid traveled very slowly, and the pain brought to Qiu Xin became more and more intense, and the whole person wanted to bend over and hug his abdomen, but was held down by the priest.

"At this time, upward, the corpse poison will not flow out along the seven orifices, but only all of it will enter the Tianshu Spirit Platform. Qiu Xin's face was flushed and extremely painful.

After a few hours, the golden liquid could cleanse the kidneys and spleen, but the golden liquid itself also had a faint black, and the priest felt something, his face turned pale, and he grasped Qiu Xin with one hand and covered his chest with the other.

By the time the liver was cleaned, the black color of the golden liquid was already very obvious, and when the lungs were cleaned, the black liquid seemed to be uncontrollable and began to bump around, and Qiu Xin coughed violently, bringing out a large amount of blood.

Seeing this, the priest's face was anxious and a little weak, and suddenly the green tendons in his hands burst out, and he recited a long incantation in his mouth, and the golden liquid was calmed down.

After cleaning the lungs, it was late at night, and in the end, only the heart was left, and Qiu Xin's whole person was about to collapse, and the priest was in a state similar to him at this time.

Gold mixed with black came to Qiu Xin's heart, and at first it was the same as always, but when the corpse poison in the heart was cleared, the golden yellow of the golden liquid also faded, leaving only a rich black.

The priest summoned the black liquid out of the heart at this time, and then his face changed greatly, only to see that the black liquid never listened to his call, and the spell of Shicai also lost its effect, and suddenly those black liquids began to move, but the place where it went was not the seven orifices of Qiu Xin, but the entire bright red heart.
