Chapter 12 Ominous(1/2)

Three days later, Ye Fei and the matchmaker had arrived at the destination of their trip, Jiuyou Mountain.

The so-called Nine Nethers are the intersection of yin and yang, the dividing point between life and death, the junction of the right path and the evil path, and a large continuous mountain peak.

The Jiuyou Mountains are stacked with high mountains and ridges, and the heights are staggered. The clothes on residents are obviously different from those of the people at the foot of Shu Mountain. Most of them wear darker clothes (such as black, purple or blue) and wear head hoods on their heads, which are the same for men and women. The head hoods on their heads are like big snakes.

Jiuyou Mountain is rich in tea. From the sky, you can see a mu of tea fields, arranged in a step-like manner, with layers progressive, and it looks very spectacular.

Surrounded by fog on the top of the mountain, it should be the residence of the gods.

Because the Jiuyou Mountains survive in the cracks between Shushan and the Demon Sect for many years, they are a place of battle. The residents have experienced wars and the customs of the people are weak. Most of the sects in the mountain are fence-bearing grass. The power of the righteous and evil paths is strong and the other side will be surrendered to the other side, without any moral integrity.

Since the last battle between good and evil, Jiuyou Mountain has been under the jurisdiction of Shushan. All the sects on the mountain nominally surrendered to Shushan and were ordered by Shushan to the unified order.

Ye Fei and the matchmaker descended in the village at the foot of Jiuyou Mountain. There were people coming and going, and it was very lively. Not only did it not have the obstruction of ordinary villages, but it felt like a metropolitan. The reason why the traffic here is so dense is that the tea resold from the mountain and the daily necessities pulled in from outside are all traded here. The market is available every day, and it is formed spontaneously by villagers and merchants. No one organizes or maintains it, and order is formed by itself.

There are all kinds of people selling at the market, and I can’t catch up when I walk. Among the pedestrians, in addition to villagers and merchants, there are also many people from the Demon Sect and the Shushan Immortals. Everyone consciously maintains restraint here. Even if both good and evil sides bump into each other, they rarely use swords and guns.

What Ye Fei cares about is a dog fighting field! The reason he cares about it is because the bloody scene reminds Ye Fei of some past events in Fancun.

At that time, he and Fang Baiyu were still twelve and three-year-old children. Looking at the fighting between two dogs in the arena, it was like seeing themselves struggling hard in life. Six or seven years passed, and both of them had grown into men who stood tall and stood tall. The Mo Yu who walked with them became the King of Horses, and King Bai Han was already old, which was really unpredictable.

"Guess who will win." Ye Fei looked at the two fighting dogs in the dog farm, one with a big head and the other with a small head. The big head pressed the small head to the ground, biting its neck and shook its head desperately.

"I think...that bigger dog should win, after all, it has already gained the upper hand." The matchmaker gave her own judgment thoughtfully.

"How about bet ten taels of gold? I bet on a small one to win."

"In such an obvious situation, you actually bet that the small ones will win? Is it just to lose money?"

"Go or not."

"Okay, just bet."

"A gentleman's word."

"It's hard to chase after all."

"Trade." Ye Fei and the matchmaker walked to the outside of the crowd. Seeing that the smaller dog was already dying, the dog owner was still unwilling to admit his failure, as if he had to wait until the other party bit the dog that he had reincarnated.

The matchmaker looked at Ye Fei in confusion, and it seemed to be saying: Can you win this?

Ye Fei smiled, and suddenly he pointed his fingers together, "Swoosh!" A petal was sharper than a sword. Without everyone in the Colosseum, he cut off the throat of the big dog that had the upper hand.

The matchmaker looked in disbelief and stared at Ye Fei with wide eyes.

The latter kept a smile on his face, turned around and left.

The matchmaker caught up and said, "Hey, hey, you're just cheating."

Ye Fei walked forward by himself: "We only bet on winning or losing, but there are regulations on how to get the winning or losing?"

"But……"

"I'm willing to accept the loss of the bet. You'll owe ten taels of gold first. It's not too late to wait until you have money."

"Ye Fei, you are obviously cheating."

"Spoiling? I've been through the world for the past few years, and the only thing I remember is only one thing."

"What!"

"The more fair the bet, the more people hide behind and cheat secretly. In a sense, this is not cheating, but a disguised manifestation of strength."

"What kind of fallacy are you doing?"

"This is not a fallacy, this is the life philosophy that I, Ye Fei, have learned over the years."

"It's obviously cheating."

"Whatever you say."

Ye Fei and the matchmaker were quarreling and walking forward casually. Suddenly, a wild beast roared from the mountain, which alarmed the birds in the forest.

Ye Fei and the matchmaker stopped at the same time, looked at each other, saw what they wanted in the other person's eyes, and then continued to move forward.

The market is super long. The villagers pulled their own tea and set up a stall for takeout. The price is cheap and there are no worries about buyers. In addition, there are also those who sell textiles and various handicrafts. In short, they are all special products that can be produced by hand by people in the mountains, and the prices are generally not high.

Seeing that nothing strange was happening, Ye Fei planned to leave, but suddenly noticed that in the northwest, an old man with a haggard face was sitting on the ground, with a colorful piece of cloth in front of him, and several jars with lids were placed on it.

Ye Fei's heart moved and walked over with stars and clouds.

"Mother-in-law, what's in the jar?"

"Hehehe." The old man smiled gloomyly, with only two teeth left in his grinning mouth, his face was dark and wrinkles were everywhere. "There are all good things here, and good things that can't be bought anywhere else."

"Old lady, why are you willing to sell such a good thing?"

"As aged, I can't grow, I always have to find some ways to make a living."

"Old lady, where is your family?"

"Family? I have never been a family member of my wife." The old man sat on the ground and looked up from bottom to top, his eyes rolling on Ye Fei with a long time: "Young man, you are young and have a strong aura, I'm afraid you are not a mortal."

"I won't hide it from the old man, I've cultivated immortals."

"So that's it, then you really deserve it today! My mother-in-law's things are the treasures that even you immortals are drooling. The price is a little higher, and I don't know if you can afford it."

"Mother-in-law, what are the bottles and jars in these bottles?"

"Gu! The best Gu! Old woman, I spent my whole life raising them. When I was old, I was going to sell them all and use the money I got to sell them to support them?"

"Gu?Gu insect?" Ye Fei took a deep breath.

"Hehehe, yes." The old man slowly picked up the green clay pot farthest from her and slowly lifted up the lid that sealed the can.

The so-called Gu refers specifically to some insects with unique abilities. The Taoist Book of Taoism: The Mother and Mother of the Zi" contains detailed records of Gu insects. According to the explanation in the book, the Gu insect technique is a mysterious insect control method that is spread on the land of Jiuzhou. The insect breeders will feed the insects with special methods and special food, making the insects unique and powerful.

The art of Guworms belongs to evil demons and heretics, because the stronger the conditions for raising Guworms are, the more special food is needed to provide, such as living organs, children's bodies, fresh brains and bone marrow, etc.

Most people who raise Gu live alone and spend their entire lives with Gu insects, have no relatives or friends, and their bodies are eaten by Gu insects after reincarnation.

If all the clay pots are Gu, then the old man in front of him will be the legendary Gu master.

In front of Ye Fei, she opened the lid. When she saw her lifting the lid, Ye Fei's heart was raised to her throat. When the lid was completely opened, there was nothing inside, nothing was black, and nothing crawled out.

Ye Fei was confused and thought to himself: Is the old lady bluffing?

But the matchmaker suddenly screamed, raised his right hand and called Ye Fei.

The old man said sternly: "Don't move!" The matchmaker saw her serious expression, then stopped, and his right palm was only one foot away from Ye Fei.

Ye Fei realized something was wrong, so he turned his head and saw a small insect with a thick thumb lying on his shoulder at this moment. When did it fly over, he didn't feel anything at all.

Is this Gu?

Ye Fei was deeply scared and thought to himself: Gu worms are worthy of being the top killer who kills people invisibly. The old man in front of him can raise such powerful Gu worms, but I am afraid that they are not an ordinary person. How could such a person sit on the street and sell the treasures he has finally raised? Gu worms should not be as important as children to parents for the Gu masters.

"Come back, my child." The old man grinned, revealing only two teeth left in his mouth. The insect lying on Ye Fei's shoulder flapped its wings and flew slowly towards her. "Buzz buzz...buzz buzz" landed at the entrance of the clay pot, and was gently sent by the old man with a lid and put it into the jar.

"What a young man, do you like it?" the old man smiled gloomyly.

"What's the name of that Gu just now?" Ye Fei's back felt cold, and he felt even more uncomfortable when he looked at the old man's smile.

"That Gu, look at its shell black, and a golden thread grows between its wings, so it is called a golden thread Gu."

"Golden Line Gu?" Ye Fei frowned. According to the records in "Tao Shu", the golden line Gu should be the most powerful among the insects. It is very difficult to raise and control. It has extraordinary flight speed and powerful toxicity. It is said that prey targeted by the Golden Immortal Gu often dies miserably because the golden line Gu is not bitten, but its body is hard. When it hunts prey, it will quietly drill into the prey from its nostrils, ears, eyes and other places, and bite it gently on the soft tissue in its body. It only needs one bite. Even if you are a dinosaur, you can be poisoned to death alive. The process of death is terrible. The poisoned person will suffer inhuman torture. When it is time to reincarnate, all tissues and organs in the body will be damaged. The blood in the body will flow out from the blood vessels, and finally the reincarnation will go.

The first one the old man took out was the Golden Line Gu, which was a big deal. It is not difficult to infer two completely opposite conclusions. First, the old man took out the strongest Gu to calm the place, increase his own value, and aroused the buyer's interest; second, the old man had a stronger Gu insect in his hand, and the Golden Line Gu was just a dessert and an appetizer. If it was the first situation, it would be okay to say, but if it was the second situation, then the old man in front of him would have to be noticed, and her identity would have to arouse Ye Fei's suspicion.

The old man smiled gloomyly, and the only two teeth left in his mouth were yellow and green. The green color was the same as the snake's teeth, as if it was harshly poisonous and looked a little cunning.

She is not tall, with a hunched back, and her palms are trembling when she holds the can. She looks like her health is already in trouble. She simply combed a silver thread into a small bun, wore a blue-bottomed and purple striped dress, and a pair of black cloth shoes.

After looking closely, Ye Fei found that there was a clear difference between her outfit and ordinary villagers, that is, she did not wear a hat on her head, and all her silver silk was exposed.

"Who is this old man?" Although she was thin and seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, Ye Fei felt that the old man in front of her was not that simple, and it could even be said to be very dangerous. Why did such a person appear on the street? Why did he appear in front of him? What is her purpose?

A series of questions lingered in my mind, causing Ye Fei to fall into a brief silence. The matchmaker and Ye Fei had the same feeling and came over to pull him: "We immortals don't need anything like Gu. Don't look at Ye Fei, go quickly."

Ye Fei pushed her away and looked at the old man with a bright look. The latter smiled "hehehe" and said, "Little girl, you are wrong. The more you are an immortal like this, the more you need the Gu that I raised by my mother-in-law. This Gu may be more useful than the magic weapon in your hands."

The matchmaker thought the old lady was very evil. She looked at her and she stopped talking.

Ye Fei looked at it and saw a total of five jars, all half-foot-high clay pots sealed with wooden lids. He said, "Mother-in-law, don't hide anything else, take it out and take it out and take it."

"Young man, the treasures in the old woman's hands are very expensive. Can you afford to pay?"

Ye Fei smiled with teeth, and immediately took out ten taels of silver from his arms and put it in the old man's hand: "Mother-in-law, you have put it away, this is a cost of eyebrow."

"Hehehe! You are so rich at a young age. It seems that you are not a fellow disciple of those pedantic immortals."

“Is it special to have money?”

"I have seen many immortals, most of whom are poor and arrogant. You are different from them. You are very worldly and must have been in the world for a long time."

"I've always been a mortal!"

"Hehehe, being able to say this proves that you are indeed different from others. I have accepted your silver woman."

"No hurry."

"Why, have you regretted it?"

"There are ten taels of silver left."
