Erdan looked back at the rows of golden silk cocoons not far away, with a bit of sadness in his eyes. Those were all treasures!
It's just that when Tong Jie came down, there was no huge cocoon formed here. What's going on?
Now that they couldn't go to the bottom of the valley, they naturally couldn't find these cocoons. They just saw that the mulberries were very beautiful and mature. After thinking about it, he turned back, took off his clothes, and picked a big bag of mulberries before jumping.
Go down the drainage tunnel and come to the underground river.
It's just that after jumping into this underground river, the temperature inside is very high, as if it's being baked under the summer sun.
Erdan was shirtless, carrying the bag of mulberries, and kept walking forward, always expecting to break out in a sweat.
But he found that not only did he not sweat, but he felt a cool feeling when he touched his skin.
Very surprised, he immediately stopped, looked around his body, and touched his whole body. Except for the temperature in front of his heart, which was still relatively high, his other limbs, stomach and back all felt very cold.
"It shouldn't be! In such a high temperature, not only do I not sweat, but why does my body become so cold?"
Erdan put down his things and sat there thinking about it carefully. Listening to the sound of gurgling water, he closed his eyes and used his ancestral heritage to constantly check his body. He was a little panicked, fearing that he had eaten something he shouldn't have eaten.
thing.
But after the test was completed, his eyes lit up. It turned out that after eating mulberries or being bitten by a silkworm that day, his body had changed, causing his body temperature to be controlled according to the external environment.
In such a high temperature environment, others may not be able to bear it, may even sweat profusely, and may suffocate, but the skin of Erdan's body can be controlled freely, ensuring the normal operation of the body's internal functions.
Erdan, who was overjoyed, smiled. With such skills, he would be able to cope with any environment in the future.
It was just that when he jumped into the deep pool before, his whole body was shivering. It seemed that he had just eaten the yellow mulberry here, which was why he suddenly changed.
Erdan stood up, looking for the underground river, and kept groping forward. The sound of the gurgling water became louder and louder, and the space became wider and wider.
Seeing that they were approaching the entrance of the cave, Erdan was startled. He saw many stones standing at the corner of this underground river, and near the exit, there were some shining things that were quite dazzling.
.
Looking forward, Erdan was so excited that he almost jumped down. On both sides of the dark river, those sparkling stones were actually jade stones, and they seemed to be jade stones of high purity.
He picked up a stone and looked at it. Unfortunately, after the stones were taken out of the water, they immediately became gray and lost their light.
"Hey, what's going on? Why did these jade stones disappear immediately after being taken out and turned into a useless stone?"
Erdan, who was confused, threw the jade that turned into a useless stone into the water. There was no light anymore. He also picked up three or four jade stones and found that these jade stones had lost their luster and turned into a piece of waste in an instant.
stone.
He didn't dare to examine those sparkling jade stones anymore. He frowned and thought for a while. Erdan seemed to understand that there might be something wrong with the water in this underground river.
But the ordinary-looking stones next to them attracted his attention, because these stones were very similar to the stones he and Vice Governor Gao had seen the last time they went to the stone gambling site.
Gently pick up a stone and Erdan looks it over from side to side. Although the luminous eyes cannot be used as well as during the day, it is more advantageous than when there is light for seeing what is inside the stone.
Using his own eyes, he carefully penetrated into the interior of the stone, and saw that it was exactly as he imagined. All of these stones were fine jadeite rough stones.
Some are imperial green, and some are colorful jadeite, and the purity is different. The smaller the jadeite, the higher the purity.
Erdan, who was so excited, knew that he couldn't take these things away now, but this place would never change, and it was still such a private place.
After putting down the stone, Erdan quickly crossed the underground river, pushed aside the bushes in front of him, and finally walked out of the underground river.
With the sound of gurgling water and the wide view beside him, Erdan took a deep breath, touched his hands and feet, and found that the temperature had risen again. This confirmed for him that the golden mulberries here indeed have a natural protective effect on the body.
After bypassing the open area and returning to Qingyun Temple, Erdan called out to Tong Jie who was still waiting for him below.
Tong Jie was shocked when he heard Erdan's voice, but at the same time he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After finally climbing up, Tong Jie saw Er Dan, shirtless, with a bag on his shoulder, smiling at him, and said in shock: "Why are you up here!"
Erdan did not answer him, but just led him and said: "Take me to see the master!"
When Tong Jie heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he loudly said happily: "You, do you mean to agree to become my master's disciple?"
Erdan smiled calmly, glared at him and said, "Why don't you call me Senior Brother?"
Tong Jie, who was overjoyed, quickly clasped his fists and shouted: "Big Brother"
Tong Jie was extremely happy because he would not be driven away by his master, and he also knew that Erdan, the senior brother, was not called for nothing. His ability was several times, even dozens of times, that of his own.
Taoist Master Tomb Yun was meditating on the bed in his room. After hearing Tong Jie's voice outside, he asked the little Taoist priest to stop and open the door. A smile appeared on his face, knowing that Erdan was about to enter the master's door.
After coming in, Tong Jie reported on his work, but Taoist Tomb Yun waved his hand and said: "I understand, you all go down, I have something to say to your senior brother."
After seeing them all leaving, Erdan placed the golden mulberries in front of Taoist Tomb Cloud, suddenly knelt down and said awkwardly: "Taoist, I am willing to become your disciple. Please accept me as a disciple. This time
, I am sincerely willing to be your disciple.”
The Taoist priest was not surprised, he just smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I have already calculated that you will become my disciple, and I also calculated that you are destined to the Tiancan Tu. I believe that you will make quite a big discovery tonight when you go to the foot of the North Slope Cliff.
!”
He was really shocked when he saw the Taoist priest telling what he had experienced. He did not hide everything. Except that he brought some golden silkworm eggs, he told the Taoist priest everything else.
But the Taoist priest was not surprised, but said: "If what you find has no fate with our Qingyun Temple, I will not let you go to the cliff under the north slope. Therefore, you will not have any problems if you become my disciple."
The losses and grievances caused, but from now on, the relationship between you and me as master and disciple will be officially established, both as teacher and as friend!"
"Master, please excuse me, apprentice."
Erdan was very sincere and made a sound when his forehead hit the ground. However, the Taoist priest quickly helped Erdan up and whispered: "When heaven assigns a great responsibility to this person, he must first work hard for his mind and body, and you
If you do it, you will be the future sweetheart of our Qingyun Temple, and even more so among men. I hope you can always maintain your original intention today."
"Apprentices must obey their master's teachings and never forget their roots."
The Taoist priest was very happy. He patted Erdan on the shoulder with a smile, pointed at the golden mulberries wrapped in clothes, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Take this thing back and feed it to your family. It will be more beneficial to the women in your family."
, we don’t need it”
Erdan thought about it doubtfully, and suddenly he couldn't help but smile awkwardly. There are no women here, they are all men. Eating these mulberries will only cause bad things.
