Chapter 632: Transformation
In the medicine valley in the mountains, a very precious herb grows, called Seven Leaves and One Branch Flower.
This herb is very unique, with seven leaves and one stem, and one flower on the top of the stem. It looks very beautiful. This herb has special therapeutic effects on treating venomous snake bites and bruises.
There is a village next to the Medicine Valley where more than a dozen families live, farm, harvest firewood, collect mountain fruits and herbs to make a living. The poisonous snakes and beasts on the mountain are in groups, often hurting people, which scares the mountain people to panic.
One of them has been practicing for nearly a hundred years and has become a demon, with many changes. The snake demon sometimes becomes a charming beauty or a beautiful young man, and sometimes becomes an old woman or an old man who has been aged for a year, confusing people to be deceived.
Once, the snake demon turned into a wounded sika deer and was discovered by a middle-aged man who had hit firewood.
The middle-aged man immediately pulled off the front of his clothes to bandage the sika deer. Just as he was about to bandage the wound, the sika deer stretched out its thin and long tongue and added the middle-aged man's arm. The middle-aged man felt that he was having an unbearable fever, and then half of his body became numb and unable to move, and his eyes became dark and he fainted.
Then the sika deer turned into a stream of blue smoke and flew with the wind. The people who were fetching firewood saw the scene clearly and were so scared that they ran back to the village to tell people about it.
This terrible thing spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and quickly spread to a family named Lu in the village.
The Lu family has seven sons and one daughter. The sons are all strong, have a strong physique, kind heart, hardworking and brave; their daughters are born like fairies, skillful, smart and smart.
After careful research, the children of the Lu family decided to eliminate harm for the people. First, the eldest son went to the Medicine Valley to kill the snake monster.
On this day, the boss came to the Medicine Valley and found a beautiful woman wearing a flower dress, holding a jacquard, humming a flower song, and picking flowers in the Medicine Valley.
The boss thought, it was early winter, so where were there any flowers to pick? It must have been transformed by the snake demon!
So, he took advantage of the snake demon's inattention and quickly raised his hatchet and chopped it hard.
The beauty transformed into the original shape of the snake demon, and quickly stretched out her tongue and licked the boss's arm. The boss fainted immediately, and the snake demon turned into a stream of blue smoke and ran away.
The eldest brother did not come back, so the second, third and fourth brother went to Yaogu to find his brother. They crossed mountains and ridges, crossed peaks and streams, and finally found his brother, but found that he was dead.
The brothers were extremely sad and burst into tears. At this moment, an old woman with staggering steps came.
I saw the old woman wearing a snake-patterned silk skirt, her mouth open and her voice was low, and her tongue was slender.
The fourth brother understood eighty or ninety minutes, so he tried his best to look at the two brothers and kicked the old woman down. The old woman rolled in, curled up into a ball, and when she stretched her head, she turned out to be a big snake monster.
The three brothers fought desperately with the snake demon, and only fought for five or six rounds. The three brothers of the Lu family were bitten by the snake demon one by one and died of poison.
The remaining fifth, Lao Liu and Lao Qi of the Lu family were extremely sad when they saw that their four brothers were bitten by snake demons and died of poison. After discussion, they made sufficient preparations and went to the Medicine Valley together.
Several people were hiding behind a big stone to observe. After a while, they saw a big python as thick as a bucket shaking its head and tail. In the blink of an eye, they turned into an old man who was carrying a basket and holding a small hoe in his hand.
The three brothers and the other brothers came forward to fight together. After a fight, Lao Qi's hatchet cut off only the tip of the snake demon's tail. The cunning snake demon quickly stuck out his tongue and licked the three brothers. In just a while, Lao Wu Lao Liu and Lao Qi were also bitten by the snake demon and died of poison.
The villagers learned that the seven sons of the Lu family were bitten and poisoned by snake demons one after another, and they were so scared that they never dared to go up the mountain again. Several families quickly moved their families out of the village.
The Lu family's daughter was very sad and determined to inherit the will of the seven brothers, get rid of the demon snakes and avenge the brothers, and eliminate harm to the neighbors.
The villagers advised her not to go, and said, "How can you, a young and weak woman, be able to defeat the demon snake? You should stay at home."
But the Lu family woman is an ambitious girl. She said: "I have made up my mind and do what I say and never regret it!"
When spring was in full bloom, the Lu family woman wore a special needle suit and left the village alone with a sword, and went to the Medicine Valley alone.
Just as she was crying in front of the corpses of the seven brothers, a beautiful young man behind her grabbed her clothes and said, "Girl, you are so beautiful. Like the fairy in ancient paintings, let's get married and share a hundred years together."
When the girl heard this, she was furious, and new and old hatreds surged into her heart. Without saying a word, she started a life-and-death battle with the young man.
The girl's hands were fast and her eyes were fast. She stabbed the young man's abdomen with a sword. The young man screamed and immediately turned into a big python and bit the girl's wrist. The girl was finally swallowed by the snake demon due to exhaustion.
At this moment, the python suddenly felt like thousands of arrows piercing the heart, restless and soon felt sad.
But a miracle happened. At the place where the girl died, weeds grew quickly: seven leaves grew in the middle, and a flower at the top, which was very beautiful.
When people saw that it was strange, they tried to stick it with the poisonous snake bite, and just stick it.
Later, in order to commemorate the kindness of the eight brothers and sisters of the Lu family to eliminate harm and benefit the mountain people, people named the medicine Qiye Yizhihua to show eternal commemoration.
Once upon a time, there was a family with only two fathers and daughters in the family. The daughters were not only beautiful, but also very smart.
On this day, my father had to go far away if he had something to do, leaving behind his daughter and a white horse.
This horse is very strong and runs thousands of miles a day, as fast as the wind. What's even more peculiar is that this horse is very versatile and understands human words. Everyone says it is a "sacred horse".
When the father went out, he told his daughter to feed and care for the horse carefully, and he would come back soon. After the father left, the only horse left at home was left with his daughter.
Whenever she feels lonely, she will talk to the horse. Although the horse can't speak, it will nod and shake its tail to show a very intimate appearance.
The days passed day by day, but my father never came back. My daughter missed her father very much and was even more worried about any changes her father encountered outside.
One day, she said to the horse half seriously and half jokingly: "Ma Er, do you understand what I said? If you can get my father back, I will marry you as your wife."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the girl finished speaking, the horse ran away and disappeared.
It turned out that my father was sick in the distance and was worried about how to go back, but suddenly he found that the horse in his home was running, and he was very surprised.
Because my father was eager to miss his daughter, he didn't have to think too much, so he stepped on the horse and rode his horse to run home.
After arriving at home, the father and daughter who had been together for a long time were naturally very happy. My father felt that the horse had made great contributions, so he added grass and fed it carefully.
But what surprised my father was that there were a lot of fine grass, but the horse refused to eat it in one bite.
Whenever he saw his daughter coming in and out, the horse not only roared his neck, but also jumped constantly, making sounds of joy or anger.
The daughter secretly asked her daughter what was going on, and she told her father what she said to the horse.
After hearing this, the father felt very uneasy. After pondering for a while, he whispered to his daughter: "Remember, don't be hyped about this matter. If someone knows that I married my daughter to a horse, what would it be like? Don't go out of the room for the time being, nor do you go to the horse."
The next day, his father installed crossbow arrows around the horse shed, and shot the horse to death while the horse was not prepared. Then, he peeled off the horse's skin and hung it on a large stone in the yard.
A few days later, her daughter was playing in the yard with her girlfriend next door. She felt very uneasy when she saw the horse skins sunken on the stones, especially when she remembered the days when her father left for a long time.
As she thought about it, she reached out and stroked the mane on the horse's skin, and an accident happened.
The horse skin suddenly lifted up and swept her away like a gust of wind. The female companions beside her were frightened and hurried to tell her father.
When the father came, his daughter and the horse skin that was sunburned on the stone had disappeared without a trace and disappeared.
It turned out that the cute girl had been swept away and flew straight to the southwest.
In the far southwest, there is a place called Dazhe, which is a wilderness that is rarely visited, with mulberry trees all over the mountains.
But after arriving there, the girl in horse's skin lost her original form and became a silkworm in the shape of a horse's head and climbing on the tree. She did not eat anything else, but only ate mulberry leaves.
Later, she became the owner of this mulberry forest, and the Emperor of Heaven appointed her as the silkworm god.
Faced with this encounter, the girl had indescribable suffering. She missed her hometown day and night, and was worried about her father and female companion.
At this time, she would constantly spit out filaments from her mouth, entrusting her endless longing.
Every spring, you can see a beautiful young woman kneeling on the branches of mulberry trees, constantly spitting out white and bright filaments from her mouth. People affectionately call her "Silkworm God Girl". (To be continued)
