In the blink of an eye, it was ten minutes in the evening, and the entire village became quiet. Tian Sihan led us down the bamboo building and walked along a gravel path to the depths of the village.
The village is very large, covering the entire mountain. The hills here are very gentle, making most of the roads in the village not so steep. However, in some steep places, stone steps have been built. The entire village is quiet and beautiful.
Like a fairyland.
The village is called Qingshui Village, and the mountain is Qingshui Mountain. The mountain is not high, but it happens to be close to the top of the mountain surrounded by a cloud of mist all year round. The bamboo buildings in the village have been built above the clouds and mist, and the bamboo building we are going to this time is Grandma Wei’s.
, just above the clouds and mist.
Tian Sihan said: "There are not many bamboo buildings above the clouds, but they are all the dignitaries in the village. The three wizards we saw during the day and Grandma Wei all live on them. There are no ordinary villagers in the village.
Qualified to be above the clouds."
I said "Oh" and said, "The class differentiation in this village is so serious."
Tian Sihan smiled and said: "It's much better. In the past, ordinary villagers were almost like slaves, but now they are at least free."
It is quite pleasant to walk along the gravel path all the way up the mountain, occasionally passing some steps.
After walking for about twenty minutes, we passed through the clouds and reached the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain is flat and there are more than a dozen bamboo buildings. There are lanterns hanging outside each bamboo building. The breeze blows and the lanterns sway slightly.
Tian Sihan led us to stop in front of a bamboo building. The bamboo buildings above were all similar. Only this bamboo building not only hung lanterns, but also hung countless bamboo tubes. The breeze blew and the bamboo tubes gently collided.
, making a soft collision sound of "da da da", which makes people feel calm after listening to it.
Tian Sihan said: "This is Grandma Wei's bamboo house. Each of these bamboo tubes has poison inside. Don't touch it out of curiosity, or you may lose your life."
I nodded to Tian Sihan.
At this time, the snack food in my body has just advanced. It is still in the stage of stabilizing its strength and does not have much reaction to the nearby Gu creatures.
Nangong Fanxong said from the side: "There are so many voodoos hanging here, which can be used for defense, but they can also be used as traps. If we were guests in the Bamboo House and were surrounded by so many big voodoos, wouldn't it be a turtle in a urn?
?”
When Nangong Fan said this, I was a little worried and looked at Tian Sihan a few times.
Before Tian Sihan could say anything, the door on the second floor opened. Grandma Wei stood at the door and said to us: "The food and wine are ready. Come up quickly. Don't worry, this is not the Hongmen Banquet."
Tian Sihan took the lead to walk up, and Nangong Fancong and I followed behind.
Entering the room on the second floor, I found that there were more bamboo tubes hanging there, and all of these bamboo tubes were painted with special runes, which were somewhat similar to those hanging on Grandma Wei's waist. I made a rough estimate, probably
It looked like two to three hundred tubes.
There is a four-corner table and four bamboo chairs in the middle of the house.
There are food on the table and two bottles of wine.
After inviting us to sit down, Tian Sihan solemnly introduced Nangong Fan and I to Grandma Wei.
Grandma Wei also smiled and said: "Actually, I recognized you when you first entered the village!"
Recognize me, what does that mean, has she seen me before?
Before I could understand what was going on, Grandma Wei said, "Have you been to Xu Shengzun's village?"
The Xu Shengzun he was talking about must be Xu Rui's father, Xu Gaoren.
I nodded and said, yes.
Grandma Wei said: "When you went to that village last time, I was there and happened to see you. Xu Shengzun even received you personally. It shows that you are their honored guest. By the way, the one who was with you that time
Where is the girl?"
She was talking about Mai Xiaorou.
When I mentioned Mai Xiaorou, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but I still said: "She had other things to do and didn't come over!"
Grandma Wei said "Oh", she should have seen something from my expression, but she did not continue to ask about Mai Xiaorou, but said to me: "I was very curious at the time, you are just an ordinary person."
You are just a human being, why does Mr. Xu value you so much and even receive you personally!"
"So when you arrived in this village, I have been paying attention to you, and today, the dragon's roar and dragon's power came from your bamboo house. I knew that you were not simple. There must be many secrets in you, and
Those secrets must be the reason why Mr. Xu met you."
Grandma Wei is trying to trick me.
I didn't answer her words, I just sat there and listened.
Grandma Wei continued: "And I also heard something. Mr. Tian will provide you with nearly white young white Gu every day, and in exchange, he will get a drop of the venom of the Gu. I am very curious. That is
What kind of venom is it? Can you show it to me?"
I finally understood that what Granny Wei said earlier was all foreshadowing, but the point is later. She also came here for the venom of my dragon insect poison.
Without waiting for my answer, Tian Sihan said in surprise: "Grandma Wei, with all due respect, I didn't tell anyone about the exchange between Chen Yu and I. How did you know about it?"
Grandma Wei smiled and said: "You didn't tell anyone, but you collect hundreds of white gu from the village every day. I'm afraid you can't hide such a big thing, right?"
Tian Sihan nodded.
Grandma Wei continued: "Every time you take the Gu insects to Chen Yu's Bamboo House, the bamboo tube is empty when you come out, which means that you gave the Gu insects to the people in the Bamboo House, and the people in the Bamboo House, Nangong Girl
There is no Gu Qi in you, so you couldn't have given it to her, so there is only Chen Yu, and you are exchanging it with him."
"As for why I know that what you exchanged is venom, that's simple. Don't forget, I have raised more than ten thousand kinds of voodoos. One of my voodoos is very sensitive to various toxins, and it will clearly feel it.
For every toxin on your body, every time you come out of Chen Yu's room, there will be one more toxin on your body, so I can infer that what you exchanged with Chen Yu for the toxin is the toxin."
"Furthermore, those white larvae Gu disappeared inexplicably when they arrived at Chen Yu's place. This means that all those white larvae Gu were fed to his natal Gu, and the same level of Gu worms that can eat hundreds of white larvae Gu every day,
It must not be an ordinary voodoo, it should be some rare species of voodoo, right!?"
Grandma Wei is also very sophisticated, and she analyzed the matter quite thoroughly in just a few seconds.
Tian Sihan smiled and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Grandma Wei: "You make an exchange with Chen Yu, and I also want to make an exchange with Chen Yu. I don't want anything else, but I also want that toxin. As for Bai You
I will pay you double the amount of Gu."
The smile on Tian Sihan's face froze a little, and then he stretched his expression unnaturally and said: "Grandma Wei, you are trying to steal business from me."
Grandma Wei said: "This is fair competition."
Analyzing from the conditions, Grandma Wei's conditions are indeed very attractive, but considering the actual situation, I will not do a deal with her, because Tian Sihan is someone I feel trustworthy in my heart, but Grandma Wei is different, I don't trust her
she.
Transactions without trust are quite risky.
So I refused directly. Grandma Wei frowned and said: "Three times!"
I shook my head.
Grandma Wei continued: "Four times!"
I shook my head again, and Grandma Wei said: "Five times!"
This time I shook my head directly and said: "Grandma Wei, it's not a question of quantity, but I don't believe you, so I can't make an exchange with you."
Grandma Wei was startled for a moment, and the expression on her face turned sinister. Soon she said with a sneer and an extremely ugly expression: "You are toasting and not eating, but you are punished with a drink!"
Tian Sihan immediately said: "Grandma Wei, you also know that Fellow Daoist Chen has a relationship with my Master Xu. You'd better think carefully before you touch him, so as not to regret it in the future."
Grandma Wei smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. What I said was just a penalty of drinking, and I didn't mean anything else."
As she spoke, Grandma Wei poured me a glass of wine herself and said, "This is the wine brewed by our village. Let's have a taste."
I'm a little afraid to drink. Tian Sihan said that Grandma Wei is a person who must retaliate for her anger. I have completely offended her here. She won't poison or poison me in the wine, right?
Seeing that I refused to drink, Grandma Wei got angry again. Tian Sihan quickly picked up the wine glass and stuffed it into my hand and said, "Have a drink, it'll be okay!"
I just drank it!
The wine is a bit sour, and the sourness is also spicy. The two flavors are quite good when mixed together.
Grandma Wei hardly spoke to me after that. After we had almost eaten, she said goodbye and left. Originally, I had no intention of eating, but Tian Sihan kept hinting to me to finish eating before leaving.
When I left Grandma Wei's bamboo house, she said to me: "In a few days, there will be a battle between you and the boy from Wei Li in our village. I wish you good luck."
I nodded.
On the way back, I asked Tian Sihan why he didn't just leave at the beginning and had to wait until after the meal. The meal was too depressing.
Tian Sihan said: "As I said, Grandma Wei is very stingy and will retaliate, so there is no need for us to offend her on such a small matter as eating. But having said that, you have done a lot of things for offending her today. You will be here in the future."
I'm afraid life in the village will be difficult."
I said: "Anyway, I don't plan to live here permanently. I will leave in a few days. In fact, if I hadn't made an appointment with Wei Li to fight Gu, I would have left here right now. This village is too depressing!"
Tian Sihan smiled and said nothing.
Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before the time Wei Li and I agreed to fight Gu!
Tomorrow is not only the day when Wei Li and I will fight Gu, but also the day when I will be listed on the Hundred Stars List. I don’t know if I can be on the list.
And today I got news from Tian Sihan that Grandma Wei gave Wei Li a powerful voodoo and taught him how to control the voodoo.
Needless to say, it was Grandma Wei who wanted to use Wei Li to deal with me. (To be continued)
