"Of course!" Wu Qiudao spread his hands and signaled the calico cat to try it casually.
The calico cat tried on the backpack and felt very comfortable. He exclaimed happily: "Really! Little brother, you are so awesome! Why do these two straps hang down?"
"Oh, because the length of this strap can be adjusted. I asked and said that you only have cloth buckles and coiled ropes. I couldn't get plastic, so I polished some adjusting buckles out of shells." Wu Qiudao said.
"What is the adjustment buckle?" The calico cat lowered his head and looked for it curiously.
"Look, these two hard things are adjustment buckles. Just pull them down to tighten them. If you feel uncomfortable, just do this and you can adjust the length."
Wu Qiudao helped the calico cat adjust its posture and tightness, which made the calico cat blush.
Wu Qiudao picked up another backpack and showed the mouth of the bag: "It's a pity that there are no zippers in this era, so I can only make it in the style of a travel bag with a drawstring at the top. As long as the top drawstring is pulled, the bag mouth will be closed tightly.
It's tight, if you're worried, you can tie another slipknot."
"It's okay, little brother, this is good!" the calico cat said, staring at Wu Qiudao.
"That's good." Wu Qiudao put the scattered luggage into the backpack one by one. "This sleeping bag can also be rolled up. You can put it in your bag if you want, but it will take up too much space. I suggest it be like this.
Just tie it to the backpack, you see, that's it."
The calico cat put on his backpack, his eyes sparkling: "Okay, little brother, I feel very relaxed and a lot more convenient! Let's set off now?"
Wu Qiudao shook his head: "Don't worry, I'll get a good sword first."
In the alchemy room, when he heard that Wu Qiudao wanted his own Seven-Star and Five-Bright Sword, Yao Dao took a deep look at this "good disciple", and he dared to say this.
"Master, originally I didn't care about the sword or not. The key is that this trip is related to your spiritual practice. I don't care about it myself. But what if it affects the task assigned by the master?" Wu Qiudao said seriously.
"Okay, take it if you want." So Yao Dao closed his eyes and let Wu Qiudao take away the Seven Stars and Five Lumins Sword.
On the official road.
Wu Qiudao and the calico cat walked slowly under the shade of the trees. They had no choice but to do it. The sunshine in the autumn afternoon was too strong, and the autumn tiger was still very powerful. They finally found a place to stop and rest.
Wu Qiudao sat down and took a sip of water. The water in the water bag was warmed by the sunlight: "Calico cat, you said you picked up silkworm and spider eggs, right? Then tell me about the place in Xiling."
Come on."
"Okay, little brother!" The calico cat also squinted his eyes and drank the warm water in small sips.
It turns out that this Xiling Crypt was originally the site of the Xiling Kingdom established by the Xiling Clan in ancient times. It has been deserted for a long time now.
The Xiling clan also occupies a very important position in the mythology of the Xia, because they once had a clan member named Leizu, also known as Leizu, who was the Huangdi's legitimate wife and the ancestor of the silkworm empress worshiped by the Xia.
He is regarded as the god of silkworms.
"The Yellow Emperor lived on the hill of Xuanyuan and married the daughter of the Xiling clan, who was called Leizu. Leizu was the Yellow Emperor's official concubine and gave birth to two sons, both of whom became famous in the world. One of them was called Xuanxiao, which was Qingyang, and Qingyang descended to the river.
.The second one is called Chang Yi, which descends like water."
In this account in "Historical Records", Xuan Xiao is the White Emperor Shaohao in the later Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and Chang Yi is the father of the Black Emperor Zhuanxu, so Leizu's status has always been very high in the minds of the people of Xia.
It is said that the reason why the Yellow Emperor came as far as Shu to marry Leizu, the daughter of the Xiling family, was because the Shu people had the secret of raising silkworms and planting mulberries since ancient times.
Only then did I learn the secret of sericulture.
The Xiling family is a branch of the ancient Shu people. The ancestors of the Shu people are Cancong, Bailiang and Yufu. "These three generations are hundreds of years old each. They are all deified and immortal, and their people follow the king." They taught the Shu people
Sericulture, fishing, hunting and spiritual practice.
Therefore, the ancient Shu people believed in the three-eyed ghost way. The gods they worshiped, such as Human Emperor, Cancong, Qingyi God, Dou Mu, Horse King and Bingling, all had three-eyed eyes. The reason was that they themselves had cultivated "Zongmu".
"Three Eyes".
Zhang Daoling of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a descendant of the ancient Shu people. It is said that he was the ghost master of the three-eyed ghost path. When he met a "celestial being", he "taught him three days of righteousness and appointed him as a heavenly master." Then he abandoned the ghost path and established another one.
Longhushan Tianshi Dao lineage.
The calico cat looked around and whispered to Wu Qiudao: "I suspect that Master Yao Wang is also a descendant of the ancient Shu people, so that's why he has this third ghost eye on his forehead."
Going back to the Xiling Crypt, according to the demonic theory, it should be that the Xiling clan suddenly encountered a devastating earthquake in ancient times. The entire Xiling Kingdom was crushed under the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin. Most of the people died inside, and the remaining
You Xiong probably ran away with him too.
Over time, wind and sun, and it is quite common for earth dragons to turn over in Sichuan and Sichuan, so I don’t know when, many caves leading to the underground were opened on the old site of Xiling Ancient Kingdom, and the Xiling Crypt and the silkworm spiders inside were destroyed.
Husband discovered.
The Demon Dao may have discovered that the eggs of silkworms and spiders are helpful in practicing the "Immortal Sand Soul Returning Basket", so he came to a place like Longquan Mountain in Yongshou Town to practice. Until he started catching people everywhere, he started to practice again.
Moved to Baoen Temple, a suitable place for living at the foot of the mountain.
As for the silkworm spiders, no one has seen their true bodies so far. Only the footprints they left can be confirmed. Their size is at least the size of a wheel, and the largest one may be as big as a cow.
Moreover, the reason why this silkworm spider can be so elusive is not only that they are good at listening to noises and can move like the wind; in fact, the more reason is that there are many evil beasts and monsters under the Xiling crypt, which will attack humans who trespass.
The calico cat heard that there was a team of medicine boys who once encountered a tall humanoid monster with a face like a human, legs like a tiger and a wolf, and an anti-joint shape. The most obvious feature is that there are long teeth like chisels coming out of its mouth.
Up to three feet.
Later, the demon caught one and said it was a Chisel-Tooth. They once gathered in crowds to fight against Emperor Yao and Hou Yi. They were expelled from the Central Plains and could only survive hiding underground. They have the ability of night vision and are extremely powerful.
It has a good sense of smell, but after staying underground for thousands of years, it is afraid of the sun and will be killed by it.
Understand, Wu Qiudao knows what the Xiling Crypt is. According to online games, this is a dungeon; according to cultivation novels, this is a secret realm. In short, it is a place to spawn monsters.
But speaking of it, this is a big spider and a giant monster that can be killed by sunlight. He always has a sense of sight like the Chinese version of "The Hobbit" and "Harry Potter". He is the protagonist.
Which one is not closely related to spiders and trolls?
After walking on the official road for a while, the calico cat told Wu Qiudao that he was going to take the mountain road now. However, the mountain road was rugged and not easy to walk. Especially in autumn, it often rained and the mountain road was full of mud, which was very strenuous.
Before the sun set, the calico cat said it was time to rest. They found an open space sheltered from the wind and began to bury the pot to cook. Wu Qiudao had never done this method of digging a hole for cooking, so he helped dig a big hole.
He was also criticized for consuming too much firewood.
The calico cat dug the hole again, and Wu Qiudao, who was causing trouble, was sent out to collect firewood. It wasn't until it got dark that they finally lit a bonfire.
Wu Qiudao had a good night's sleep yesterday afternoon. He got up a little early in the morning and felt a little sleepy. After dinner, he fell asleep and waited until midnight for him to stay vigil again.
But when the vigil came to him, he was still too sleepy and dozed off unconsciously. It was not until he suddenly woke up from death that he saw a pair of green eyes looking at him in the darkness.
