After picking a few bunches of mulberries, Erdan ate several bunches in one breath and put the rest into his pocket, wanting to escape from here quickly.
But seeing those silkworm cocoons, Erdan felt afraid that others would find out and destroy the place in the future, so he collected all the silkworm cocoons and placed them in a small hole next to the tree, where the silkworm was hiding before.
Erdan became more and more excited as he thought about this invulnerable golden silk. If he could take all the silk back and make golden silk clothes for his women, their safety would be guaranteed in the future.
After preventing others from easily discovering these silkworm cocoons, Erdan quickly climbed up the rock wall and reached the open space above using his silkworm hand.
"Master, look quickly, where is Donor Li?"
At this time, the beggar uncle and his disciples had just gone around and found this spacious place.
"Li Erdan, I finally found you. You are indeed down here! Are you okay?"
The beggar uncle was very worried and ran over. He checked his condition and found that Li Erdan in front of him didn't look like he was poisoned or injured. He was even more energetic than normal people.
"You weren't poisoned, and nothing happened to you?"
Erdan laughed, shrugged, then sneered and said, "Yes, I'm fine. Do you think those two centipedes and king cobra can make me surrender?"
The beggar uncle has lived here for a long, long time. When it rained before, when he saw the blood-red cocoon, he had always doubted whether there were celestial silkworms.
Now he saw that Erdan's face was rosy, and after looking carefully, Erdan must have climbed up from the deep pit below, which made him wonder whether Erdan had been transformed by the Celestial Silkworm.
"Did you encounter something different down there?"
Seeing the suspicious look on the Taoist priest's face, Erdan's heart tightened, but he quickly pretended to smile calmly and said, "What can I encounter? I just got hung up on a branch and just saved my life. What?
, do you think a god saved me?"
The beggar uncle couldn't help but frown when he saw Erdan's casual look. From his eyes, it could be seen that Erdan must have lied.
I walked to the side and took a look. It was only a few dozen meters away. Even if Erdan had the ability, how could he possibly climb up directly?
Right now, we need to take Erdan back to Qingyun Temple first. After all, why he was not poisoned, we have to find out first. Otherwise, Erdan should not let Erdan eat his two centipedes and king cobra.
Back at Qingyun Temple, Erdan hugged Zhu Hong and Hong Susu tightly, and then said to them: "Why are you crying! I, Li Erdan, survived the catastrophe and will be blessed later. Don't worry, I won't die."
Zhu Hong was excited and crying, pounding Erdan's chest and said: "Sister Min and Sister Xiaoqin both felt that you had an accident, so they called to inquire about you. Please call back quickly!"
After gently patting the two women's backs and comforting them, Erdan walked up to the beggar uncle with a smile and said: "Taoist priest, thank you, let's go."
Seeing that Erdan was about to leave with the two women, he became anxious. He immediately walked up to Erdan and said with a smile: "You have come here and passed the test. Are you leaving like this?"
Erdan sneered, waved his hand and said, "I said, you are not qualified to be my master, because you are not worthy."
The beggar uncle shook his head and said: "Do you know why I want to test you? You think I don't know your things. You have to know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Even if you reach the bottom of the valley and become attached to the Celestial Silkworm, you won't be able to go back without me.
You will die the same way”
Erdan was a little surprised. How did the Taoist priest know about his relationship with Tiancan? This really made him a little bit unbelievable.
"Taoist Master, what are you talking nonsense about? I don't understand what you say."
The Taoist priest gave a wry smile, slowly approached him, and whispered in his ear: "I have been looking for that silkworm at the bottom of the valley for many years, but I haven't found it yet. I believe I have become acquainted with you! But with your current ability,
You can’t control the skills of the Celestial Silkworm at all, and haven’t you noticed that besides being able to leap a few meters high, you also have no other skills than being able to climb rock walls with bare hands?”
Erdan was really shocked. He didn't know how the Taoist priest knew this, which made him hesitate a little.
After thinking for a while, Erdan looked at the beggar uncle and said coldly: "Then what do you want from me?"
The beggar uncle smiled at Er Dan, then walked up to the eldest disciple who pushed Er Dan off the cliff, and slapped him hard.
"Master, why did you hit me? What mistake did I make?"
Erdan and the other brothers were stunned. They did not expect that this beggar uncle would hit someone.
Looking at his eldest disciple, the Taoist Master had a livid face, and then pointed at Erdan and said: "You are the eldest disciple. Originally, everyone called you senior brother, but you are not good at studying, but you are jealous of Erdan's ability.
, push him off the cliff, do you think I don’t know?”
Erdan was also stupid at that time. He didn't even tell the Taoist priest about who pushed him down, but the Taoist priest knew everything about it. This is amazing!
"Master, you can't slander me just because of an outsider. I went down the mountain to search with my junior brothers. Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work! You deliberately put the blame on me like this, and I don't accept it."
In order to gain Erdan's trust, the Taoist priest sneered, glared at the eldest disciple and said, "You don't want to admit it, do you? Well, I'll tell you the evidence now."
I saw the Taoist Master grabbing the big disciple's hand, then showing the palm of his hand, pointing to the blood-red holes on it and saying, "Is this the evidence?"
The eldest disciple was panicked, but he still retorted desperately: "Master, please don't accuse me unjustly. I accidentally injured this just now. Based on this, how can you say that I pushed him down the mountain?"
Seeing that the eldest disciple still didn't repent, the Taoist priest was immediately speechless and scolded directly: "Beast, the wound on your palm is obviously caused by the soft armor on his body, who have you deceived!"
At this time, all the brothers looked at the eldest disciple. The eldest disciple was really panicked, and he immediately knelt down as if he was jumping over the wall.
"Master, I was wrong, I shouldn't have pushed him down the mountain"
Looking at his unsatisfactory disciple, the Taoist Master really wanted to slap him to death, but after all, he had been following his disciple for many years, so he gritted his teeth.
"You have followed me for many years, and you have worked hard without any merit. If it is your first offense, if he can forgive you, you can still stay. If he cannot forgive you, then you can pack up and go home!"
At that moment, the eldest disciple suddenly panicked, moved his body, knelt down in front of Erdan, and begged: "Elder brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't be jealous of you, I am convinced now, you don't care about the little ones.
I have made a mistake, please forgive me for my mistakes, I promise I will never do anything wrong again."
Erdan gritted his teeth and looked at the senior disciple in front of him. From the look in his eyes, Erdan could understand that a senior disciple wanted to take away his position and made such a mistake.
But seeing that Erdan didn't speak for a long time, the other brothers became anxious.
"Elder brother, please be noble and forgive him!"
The other junior brothers all clasped their hands and called them "Senior Brother", which made Erdan extremely embarrassed.
Hong Susu and Zhu Hong glanced at Erdan. The two kind-hearted women nodded towards him. Erdan sighed and helped the eldest disciple up.
"Okay, since you call me Senior Brother, based on this, I forgive you."
The eldest disciple was so happy that he kept kowtowing and crying, thanked Erdan repeatedly, and then slowly stood up.
The Taoist Master saw that the stubbornness in Erdan's eyes was gone, so he smiled and said: "Okay, as for whether you are willing to become my teacher, I won't force you, but I have a gift to give you.
for you"
As the little Taoist priest brought a box and put it in Erdan's hand, the Taoist Master said seriously: "This book of Celestial Silkworms is a treasure that I have been studying for many years but have not studied clearly. Since you are now associated with Celestial Silkworms,
Just give it to you as a gift! With it, you will at least have a little chance of winning when you go to the capital."
