Chapter 57 Bet
It was different from what Gui Bugui thought. The Gui brothers’ village was not on the top of the mountain. After only half a day, the Gui brothers took him and Wu Mian to a cave. Guilai pointed to the entrance of the black cave and said, "It's where we two are staying. You and... are resting in it first, and our brothers arranged for people to go to play wild game. Unfortunately, there is no production on the mountain, so we really can't produce anything good to pay filial piety to you."
Although it is black and looks a bit cunning. People with physical fitness like Gui Bugui and Wu Mian can naturally see the scene inside clearly. There is a large space here. Looking at the messy placement of things like clay pots and hay mats on the ground, you know that there are only minions living here.
There is an entrance to the passage deep in the cave, and it seems that there are another or several such spaces inside the passage.
Looking at Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, the two brothers in Guilai had a wrong idea. They thought their master and the white-haired man could not see the scene inside, so they did not dare to go in rashly. Guilai shouted to his subordinates: "Don't you go and get the torch? I've told you a few torches hidden at the entrance of the cave. I've said it so many times, but I haven't prepared. Look, this time I have implicated my master, right?"
When Guilai was talking, a minion had already gone in and flirted with two torches dipped in beast oil. Guilai showed off his fire-attracting technique and lit both torches, and then he held Guibugui and Wu Mian into the cave.
The Gui brothers gave way to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui to the entrance of the passage. Guilai stood at the entrance of the passage and said, "The cave was originally treated as a mountain village because it was a big hole in it. Although there was only one inside, there were more than 30 large and small holes inside. Including the entrance we entered, there were thirteen entrances and exits in the bright, five, dark, seven, and seven. If we didn't know the details, there were no special people to take them. In recent years, officers and soldiers from Liaodong and Liaoxi counties came to encircle and suppress them from time to time. Several times they even broke into the cave, but each time ten came in, they could only go out at most three or five. Later, the encircled officers and soldiers did not dare to come in when they arrived outside the cave."
After saying that, the two Gui brothers took Gui Bugui and Wu Mian and walked around the inner holes of all sizes. If we looked at the holes outside, we would never have thought that this would be like a beehive, with dozens of inner holes running together in a row. As we walked along the way, Wu Mian was okay, but Gui Bugui was rare. He usually talked about the same chatter, for some reason, since he entered the cave, he didn't even say a word, but there were only a few times when he was in the darkness, he had a look at Wu Mian.
After looking through the inner hole inside, they went out from one of the exits, turned around for a long time, and then returned to the entrance of the cave. At this time, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui had no hurdles at the Gui brothers. Gui Bugui looked at Wu Mian first and said, "Did you see it?"
Wu Mian nodded and said, "I really don't know if your two precious disciples are lucky or not. This cave shouldn't be prepared for people, right?"
When Wu Mian said this, the faces of the Gui brothers had changed. The two brothers felt that there seemed to be something unclean in the cave for a long time. They thought it was the wandering soul who had encircled them before and was trapped in the cave. The two brothers did not know how to regain their souls, but they were reluctant to part with this cave. They could only grit their teeth and hold them up. Fortunately, nothing particularly strange happened. I didn't expect that Wu Mian and his own teacher would find out today. The two of them dared not speak out, and they could prick up their ears and listen to their conversation.
Gui Bugui looked in the cave, and said, "I'm talking about the monster, but I don't have any hostility. I'm talking about it, right? I'm talking about it, but I don't have any hostility. I'm talking about it, it feels too strong, and it's even much stronger than the mother and the mother of Teng Mastiff and Yin Bai."
Speaking of this, the old guy turned his head, looked at his two disciples of his family, and said, "Have you ever encountered anything strange after you moved in here?"
The two brothers from the family looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes!" But the following words immediately became different. "Some people often see a child running around in the cave..." "I saw with my own eyes that there was an old white-bearded man who disappeared in a flash."
After hearing two different answers, Gui Bugui's eyes immediately narrowed and said to the two brothers: "Are they kids or white-bearded old men?"
"Many people have seen it." "The white-bearded old man, not only I have seen it with my own eyes, but also a few people have seen it."
At this time, Wu Mian suddenly said, "Which situation did you two see that child and the white-bearded old man?"
The two Gui brothers were stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, Gui Lai said first: "Not long ago, before the death of the leader of the village, the child appeared on his dying day. Not only did those brothers have seen it, but even the leader of the village also saw it with his own eyes. He seemed to have said something to the child. Unfortunately, the leader of the village was already sick and blind, and no one could understand what he said. After that, he died."
After Guilai finished speaking, Wu Mian did not react, but Gui Bugui's eyes narrowed. He stroked the twenty or thirty white beards on his chin. Although his eyes were looking at the two brothers Guilai, the old guy's eyes were a little straight, and he was obviously thinking about other things.
The Gui brothers did not dare to talk too much, but Wu Mian ignored that, looked at Gui Bugui with a slanted eyes and said, "Aren't you going to say something?" This sentence was to pull the old guy back. Gui Bugui came back to his senses, blinked his eyes and smiled at Wu Mian, looked at his two disciples, and said, "Don't drinking wind mean a kind of wild game, right?"
The two brothers of Guijia smiled, and they also realized that their teacher had something to say, and they were very sensible and went to see how the game was prepared. After seeing the two brothers of Guijia leave, Guibugui smiled and said to Wu Mian: "The aura we felt in the inner hole just now was not a monster. If I was not a mistake, it should be genus such as ginseng, poria, and Polygonum multiflorum."
After hearing this, Wu Mian frowned. Spiritual herbs such as ginseng absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon. Almost everyone has heard of the story of those who have attained enlightenment. However, Wu Mian never believed that such things would happen. Except for stories about gods and ghosts, there is no record of such flowers and plants becoming monsters in almost all classics about alchemy art. Living creatures like swallowing mastiffs and Yin Bai becoming monsters can still be said, but flowers and plants becoming monsters are nonsense no matter how you look at them. Wu Mian is also a legitimate alchemist, and he is disdainful of the rumors that such flowers and plants becoming monsters and spirits are repeated.
Gui Bugui's statement is vivid. According to past experience, this old guy is probably talking nonsense again. Wu Mian snorted. If it weren't for the territory of their apprentices, he would have given him some face to the old guy, and he would have slashed with an electric arc long ago.
Gui Bugui saw that Wu Mian disagreed, and he immediately understood where the problem was. After laughing, the old guy looked at Wu Mian and suddenly said, "Make a bet, there should be elves like ginseng, poria, and Polygonum multiflorum in this hole. The two brothers from Guilai Gui District saw such elves before."
Looking at Gui Bugui's smiling look, Wu Mian's heart suddenly moved. It seemed that this old guy knew a lot of things he didn't know... Wu Mian looked at Gui Bugui without hesitation and said, "What are you betting on?"
Gui Bugui grinned and said, "Just bet on the bottles of elixir on your body. If you lose, half of those bottles of elixir will be given. If I lose," the old guy touched his body, took out the ring he had just succeeded, and said to Wu Mian: "Although you know you don't like this little thing, I don't have anything more valuable in my hands."
