The mountain road I took when I went down the mountain was not the same when I went up the mountain, because without knowing it, Xu Yan and the others had gone to look for the people in the mountains first, but they naturally took a lot of unjust paths. But now there are people from She Village who help to give advice, so they chose the nearest mountain road.

It took about an hour to walk from Shexiang to the foot of the mountain. Xu Yan watched himself return to the path he had walked before, and felt that he had been going around for a while, but now he has returned to the starting point.

Xu Yan was silent all the way until he came to this bamboo forest again, and only smiled at Gu Xueqing and said, "It turns out that the journey from here to She Village is so close."

Gu Xueqing could somewhat sense the emotions in Xu Yan's heart, but she didn't know what to say, so she replied softly: "Well, it's a pity that we didn't know before, so we took a lot of detours."

After hearing this, Xu Yan smiled and said, "That's nothing, but fortunately, everything has been settled."

Gu Xueqing followed him as usual, but did not answer again.

Half an hour later, the two of them came to the bamboo forest that had been blocked by Zhong Yun again. However, it can be clearly seen that after a battle between them, this bamboo forest that was originally lush and lush, and the losses were great, because before, at least hundreds of green bamboos were affected, so that a large open space appeared around the disaster site, which looked like a person with strong hair. Suddenly, a big poke was removed from the top of his head.

At this moment in the bamboo forest, a man and a woman were cleaning up the bamboos that were broken by Xu Yan and Zhong Yun. Needless to think about it, they should be the owners of this bamboo forest. At the same time, on their faces, they could see that each other's expressions were a little ugly.

Seeing Xu Yan walking in front of him suddenly stopped and looked at the two people in the city who should be husband and wife, Gu Xueqing couldn't help but sigh quietly. She whispered to Xu Yan: "Most people in the city rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. Now these hundreds of green bamboos have suffered for no reason. For them, it should be a huge loss."

After hearing this, Xu Yan said nothing, without answering, but bent down and secretly placed something in the bamboo basket on the side of the road that the couple used to hold food boxes, and then continued to rush to the north.

And just after Xu Yan and the others disappeared completely, the middle-aged man in the bamboo forest said to the woman: "I didn't expect that in such deep mountains and old forests, it was really strange to see two scholars who were rushing from here."

After hearing this, the woman replied, "It's probably from the nearby towns, otherwise who would come to a place like us?" After pausing for a moment, the woman suddenly said to her husband again, "Oh no!"

When the middle-aged man saw her screaming, he couldn't help but frown and said, "What's wrong with you, a woman?"

The woman asked the man in confusion: "Did the two scholars just now stay on the roadside for a moment?"

The middle-aged man didn't understand why she said that, but he nodded and replied: "Yes, but is there any problem with this? Don't you allow others to stay here? This bamboo forest is yours, but this mountain road is not yours. Are you too overbearing?"

When the woman saw that he misunderstood her, she said angrily: "You old ghost, what are you talking nonsense? I'm afraid that the two scholars will leave our food boxes. No, I have to go over and take a look. If there is no lunch, it will be to see what else you can do to work in the afternoon."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly replied with a dark look on his face: "You woman are so stingy. After all, she is a scholar who reads sages. Can she do such a dirty thing like stealing and scammers?"

After a while.

The woman came to the bamboo basket where she had her own food box, and then saw that the cloth strand she used to cover the reptiles and light was covered even tighter. She couldn't help but feel tighter and thought that the two scholars really did leave the food box and deliberately blocked the cloth strands tightly.

So the woman squatted down and lifted the strands of the bamboo basket, trying to see clearly, but just after she really saw the truth, her face couldn't help but look stuck, and then there was an irresistible ecstasy on her face.

There is no doubt that her food box was restored to its original original place in a bamboo basket, and was not allowed to go by the two scholars. In addition, she also found that there was something she wanted in her dreams on her food box. She immediately put the thing tightly in her palm, and then staggered towards her husband like a thief. When she was completely approaching the other party, she couldn't help but shouted in a low voice: "The head of the family, the head of the family..."

When the middle-aged man saw her jogging all the way and looking sneaky, he immediately said angrily: "What's wrong with you? You can't keep the focus?"

The woman didn't care about her husband's ridicule, but just whispered to him mysteriously: "Come on, I'll show you something."

The middle-aged man said impatiently: "What is it that makes you happy like this? What are you..."

The woman did not answer, but only came to him before spreading her palms and revealing the objects. She was overjoyed and said, "Look, are you surprised?"

When the middle-aged man saw that the ingot of silver in her hand was as much as ten taels, he couldn't help but look shocked. You know, in the market, ten taels of silver were a huge sum of money, especially for people like them in the mountains, he asked incoherently: "Where did you find this... this silver?"

Seeing him like this, the woman smiled and said, "Of course it's in our vegetable basket."

When the middle-aged man answered this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, "So, it should be left by those two scholars for us? But I don't look like they are from a wealthy family, but they are so generous. They get ten taels of silver when they give it. Oh, wives, do you think this... this silver is not from the right place?"

When the woman saw her man, she fell into useless worry at this time. She immediately turned her eyes and said angrily: "Nonsense! I think the silver is very clean, how could it be dirty silver? Besides, didn't you just say that the other party was reading the book of a sage? A person who reads the book of a sage is not the robbers and robbers in the mountains, where did the dirty silver come from?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man scratched his head and replied, "That's the case, but isn't this... the amount is too large? Besides, what reason do they have to give them money?"

The woman replied dissatisfiedly: "You care about so much in the future. Anyway, the money is already in my hands, that's mine, no one can think of getting it back."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly said in anger, "You foolish woman... are really... are really jealous of money!"

After hearing this, the woman directly replied, "If you have a wealthy family, will I be so ecstatic when I see ten taels of silver? But do you?" She instantly pushed her husband speechlessly.

...

The couple's little quarrel after getting the money was completely out of the bamboo forest and Xu Yan, who had already walked out of the bamboo forest and came to the stream, didn't know about it, but if he had known in advance, his casualness would almost make them fight. He probably wouldn't give him ten taels of silver directly, but would give him some broken silver.

However, when it comes to these silver coins, the Cardinal secretly put them in the storage bag and stuffed them to him. Xu Yan didn't even notice this at the beginning, because the Cardinal wrapped them in oil paper like dry food, and threw them directly into the dry food pile. After Xu Yan found out, he naturally counted them carefully and found that there were a total of 100 taels, which was ten ingots inside. This made him laugh and cry. Of course, before they set off, Elder Sun of the Task Pavilion also distributed five taels of silver to them one by one, as the subsidy expenses for this northbound trip.

Xu Yan didn't know where the Cardinal got so much money from, but I have to say that along the way, he found that there were quite a lot of places to spend money, which also made him and Gu Xueqing save money when they first arrived in Jingning Town. However, when he found out that he was actually in a huge amount of money, he was no longer as stingy as he was at the beginning.

After the weather cleared a few days ago, the water level of the stream in front of me gradually returned to the water flow that should have before, completely revealing the anchorage in the stream.

After Xu Yan and the others arrived by the stream, they did not immediately pass through the stream. Instead, they squatted down by the stream, washed their hands, wiped their faces, and then started to enjoy lunch.

The lunch was prepared for them in the morning, and Xiaoman specially prepared it for them. Therefore, when Xu Yan was eating these familiar flavors, he couldn't help thinking of her in his mind. He suddenly asked Gu Xueqing beside him: "I wonder if Senior Sister Gu can tell me how Senior Yin Gu can remove the poison of the Gu, and why did you ask me to leave after going downstairs?"

When Gu Xueqing heard the other party ask about this, she had no intention of hiding it from him. She hesitated for a moment and replied: "Senior Yin Gu... In order to remove the heart-eating gun in my body, she almost consumed most of her cultivation. After that, she passed all the remaining cultivation to Xiaoman Girl. However, when I went downstairs, she was still transferring her cultivation to Xiaoman Girl. But in fact, when she first went upstairs, she greeted me in advance and asked me to go downstairs after I solved the problem, so there was no need to say goodbye to them."

When Xu Yan heard Gu Xueqing say this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "In order to resolve the insects in your body, she actually has to lose most of her cultivation?"

Gu Xueqing nodded and explained, "Well, according to what she said, this Heart-Devouring Gu is the most difficult poisonous insect to remove in their hometown witchcraft. It is also one of the love Gu. Although it was not harmful at the beginning, it was only urging..." Gu Xueqing said this, as if she felt a little embarrassed, and then paused her tone. However, afterwards, when Xu Yan was just frowning and full of curiosity, she mustered up her courage and continued, "There is only the effect of aphrodisiac, but if this insect completely grows up, it can swallow the heart of the person who is caught in the Gu."

After hearing this statement, Xu Yan couldn't help frowning even deeper, and even felt a little sneering in his heart. After all, this method alone sounds very vicious and it is really hard to accept.

Seeing that he was like this, Gu Xueqing had roughly guessed what he thought, so she continued to explain: "Actually... they have their own difficulties."

Xu Yan said unhappily: "No matter how hard you have, you can't use this method. If you go out and commit crimes, it will be hard to guard against."

Gu Xueqing replied with a wry smile: "It's not true. You don't know anything about it. In the ancient village of She Village, there are only the patriarchs who are qualified to practice witchcraft and swordsmanship. Moreover, witchcraft needs to be passed down from generation to generation by generation of patriarchs. Therefore, no one can learn it except the patriarch. The most important thing is that the cultivation of worms is much more difficult than practicing witchcraft. The patriarchs of each generation, except for a pair of Yin and Yang Gu, can only raise a few more worms throughout their lives. Therefore, if they use the technique of planting worms to harm people, it is actually a loss."

When Xu Yan heard this explanation, he picked up a suspicious point and asked: "What is Yin and Yang Gu?"

Gu Xueqing replied: "The Yin-Yang Gu is a love Gu, which is a Gu insect that the patriarchs of all generations must establish with their husbands after they have married their husbands. Gu insects are one male and one female. The reason is to prevent the man from having any unfaithful betrayal of the She Village as time goes by after entering the She Village."

When Xu Yan heard this, his face turned dark because he directly remembered that Aunt Yin had asked him to stay in She Village to marry Xiaoman as his wife. From this point of view, if he agreed at that time, wouldn’t he have to be planted with this Yin-Yang Gu afterwards?

He said in a cold tone: "But Chen Zhu did not have the slightest idea of ​​betraying the She Village before he died. How should this be explained? Can those who marry into the She Village have to give their lives for them in vain? What is the reason for this?"

After hearing this, Gu Xueqing couldn't help but sigh and replied: "Actually, Zhong Yun cannot blame Zhong Yun for the death of Chen Zhu. If Senior Yin Gu had not been determined and asked her to plant a golden silkworm Gu on Shen Zhu, Chen Zhu would not have any trouble. Under normal circumstances, as long as the man did not take the initiative to betray She Village, it would make him live until he died of old age and death. Senior Yin Gu did not hide this matter from me."

When Xu Yan heard that Chen Zhu's death was actually caused by Aunt Yin, he couldn't help asking: "Why did she do this?"

Gu Xueqing knew that Xu Yan was asking Aunt Yin, so she couldn't help but sigh again, and then replied quietly: "Because Senior Yin Gu's husband not only betrayed her, but also left the village alone, but also took away the only child they gave birth to, so she felt that men in the world were unreliable."

When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but think of a person in his mind. If he had expected that it would be the old village chief in Zhangjia Village. The reason was very simple. As a martial artist who had reached at least the fifth level, ordinary poisons could not poison him at all. No matter any poison in the world, he could not stay in the body of a practitioner. Either he would successfully poison someone on the spot, otherwise as time goes by, the toxins remaining in their bodies will be removed bit by bit. Only the only insects like the Heart-Devouring Gu, which are originally living creatures, can not be cured by outsiders except that the poisoned person can be eliminated by the poison himself.

Xu Yan took a deep breath, so that his anger could be relieved slightly, but he still said coldly: "I have lived for almost a lifetime, but in the end I still lived to a dog."

When Gu Xueqing heard him, she finally said such vicious words, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

As a woman, she knew very well that she should be like a woman in the world, and knew the principle of ending up being the same as a woman in the world, but what if she gave all her own things for her husband and ended up being abandoned by the other party, then what if she ended up being abandoned by the other party? Therefore, she would be more or less able to understand the feelings of Aunt Yin over the years than Xu Yan, but she didn't want to argue with Xu Yan here.

Even the things of emotion are like the water flowing in the stream before your eyes, and will flow to the unmeasurable sea.

It's hard to explain, or it's hard to explain.

...

After Xu Yan and the others finished their lunch, it was almost four minutes later. Then, they finally crossed the anchorage in the stream. After successfully crossing the stream, the land under them was no longer the boundary of Qiulu Township, nor the boundary of Jingning Town, because after more than a month of travel, they successfully entered the boundary of Yanxi Township, Wuyang Town.

After passing the stream, Xu Yan just looked back at the bamboo forest behind him and stopped and continued to walk north; while Gu Xueqing, who was following him, did not even look back, because for her, the land under her feet at this moment was the land she really wanted to step on.

However, what Xu Yan and the others didn't know was that at this moment, in the village that belonged to Zhuxiang alone, the young woman who was chosen as the heir to the new patriarch finally slowly woke up.

After Xiaoman got up and came downstairs, he successfully met Aunt Yin and her sister Zhong Yun. However, compared to them in the past, Xiaoman could clearly feel that some changes seemed to have occurred in them, but they were not on the surface.

For example, Aunt Yin, Xiaoman could no longer feel a mysterious feeling from her; as for her sister, she felt that the latter had become much more ordinary.

When Aunt Yin saw that Xiaoman had already come downstairs, she smiled and waved to her, and asked again: "My lady, how are you sleeping this time? Do you feel any uncomfortable in your body after waking up?"

Xiaoman replied: "No, I slept soundly, but I seemed to have a very strange and long dream."
