"'He's average, with brown hair, green eyes, and a little freckles. He's normal, tall, but always hunched over. He smiles at everyone, but he looks pretty when he smiles,' that's what your grandma said."

"At that time, your aunt Wu Rong went to Panya Village behind the mountain to mediate conflicts. The village chief there had just died in battle, and the successor wanted to turn the village into refining spirit gu. Panya Village and our village used to have a very close relationship. , Married, your Aunt Wu Rong doesn't want to see them go astray."

The witch closed her eyes and fell into the memories: "At that time, your grandmother was temporarily in charge of the village and met that foreigner. You know, our village has lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, unlike the commercialized Miao villages outside, it is very closed. , outsiders are not welcome. But the spiritual recovery happened too fast and fiercely, and the mountain was isolated from the outside world. Everyone in the village wanted to know what was going on in the outside world and what happened, so they invited him in. "

"He can speak a few words of Chinese, and when he is in a hurry, he can speak some bird songs that he can't understand, and dance with his hands. The people in the village can't understand them. In the end, when the communication doesn't go well, he just laughs and gives the children foreign candies. , will help the people in the village to kill some ghosts and so on. He can use a white light, which is very lethal to ghosts, but this person is actually very timid and afraid of ghosts."

"One time the village resisted the impact of the ghost tide with his help. The village held a bonfire party to celebrate the hero, but he was not found. Your grandmother went to find him, and finally found him hiding behind a stilted building in the village. squatting there wiping away tears."

The witch mother let out a cold snort, and said lightly: "Miao men are all good men. Where has your grandma ever seen a man cry? She just heard him say something like 'the world is going to perish' and 'Satan's **** must be filled'. In the end, that person begged your grandmother to help persuade Wu Rong, hoping that she could get out of the mountain, and only outside the mountain can there be a real solution to the problem."

"Your grandma is very rare (likes) him, although she didn't tell me. Otherwise, she would not agree to that man."

The witch mother said to herself: "However, if your grandma knew that he was going to take your aunt Wu Rong to die, she definitely would not have agreed."

Wu Rong asked, "Death?"

"Yeah, die."

The witch mother's attitude was very indifferent, with the corners of her mouth down, with a bit of sarcasm: "Going to fill in the big tiankeng, of course you will die."

"The foreign astrologer figured it out. One of the heroes who saved the world is located in the deep mountains in the southwestern part of Huaguo, a tribe represented by butterflies. That guy was sniffed by the annoying hound."

"Later when your Aunt Wu Rong came back, this kid had a clear goal and fell in love with your aunt. He was everywhere he went, and he only talked to your Aunt Wu Rong. There are some things your grandma doesn't know, yes She found out about it later when she found the diary that Wu Rong had left for her."

A hint of disgust flashed across the witch mother's eyes: "He asked Aunt Wu Rong to come out of the mountain, like a dog, completely without dignity. Of course, your aunt Wu Rong refused. At that time, the stockade in the mountain was supported by her alone. If you leave, those villains who use humans to refine Gu can swallow up all the villages immediately. Besides, the Gu seeds and jewelry are all on her, if you Aunt Wu Rong leaves, the inheritance of the Wu Clan will be broken."

"But these thoughts only lasted until your aunt fell in love with that foreign devil. He was really attractive to the witch family. Both your grandmother and aunt liked him very much. Your grandmother overheard their conversation and went to the She wanted to sacrifice herself to keep her sister alive. Maybe she wanted to go with this person, even if she died."

"But he was rejected by that person. He firmly believed that only Wu Rong was the person in the prophecy. In the end, Wu Rong was also moved by what he said, but if she wants to leave the mountain, she must do two things."

"The first is to find a way to suppress the spirit Gu, so that the evil seedlings cannot continue to develop. The second is that she must first give the Gu seeds and jewelry to your grandma, and let her pass on the blood of the witch clan. Do this At two o'clock, she will leave with that person."

The witch mother glanced at Wu Rong. From the beginning of the story to now, Wu Rong has not spoken, but just listened quietly. No matter what she said, Wu Rong's expression did not change at all. The witch mother knew that Wu Rong had been indifferent to everything since she was a child, and she didn't pay attention to everything, but if someone broke into his domain and acted wildly, the witch mother would never forget the kind of ruthlessness that beat others until their heads were bleeding.

Wu Rong's father left early, and she was supporting the longevity store by herself, so she didn't have much time to pay attention to the child, and she had a great responsibility to let him grow into what he is now.

But looking at it now, the witch mother thinks that Wu Rong is also quite good-natured, having companions and lovers is enough in this dangerous world. The past is over after all, and now Wu Rong represents the future of the Wu family. Seeing Wu Rong's eyes looking over, the resentment and resentment from the previous generation in Wu Mu's heart somehow faded away.

The dead are dead, and only those they are alive are still stuck in the past. Her mother stayed in the Miao village all her life until she grew old, never stepped out of the village, and even eloped with a man from a foreign race. She was rebellious and refused to inherit the Gu species, and she was not expelled from the witch clan.

The witch is old, the witch is dead, and those people from back then are gone. Time is mercilessly passing by like a torrential river, and it will never return. Wu Rong has grown so big. The witch mother thought that she had already forgotten what happened in the past, if he hadn't retrieved the hairpin, she wouldn't have remembered it.

‘Everything has animism, and things that belong to the Wu family will eventually return to the Wu family. '

The witch mother suddenly remembered that when she was young, the witch was still young, and she always sat at the entrance of the village with her in her arms, looking towards the east, as if she was persistently waiting for someone to return. Until the year before she rebelled and left the Miao village, the witch was still waiting at the gate of the village on the sixth day of every month, from daytime to dusk.

"What happened next?"

Wu Rong's long silence caused Wu Rong to ask.

"Later, your Aunt Wu Rong was seriously injured in the ghost tide and was unable to go out. That person stayed and took care of her for a few days, and finally decided to return alone. But after he left, the people in the village found out that he stole your Aunt Wu Rong's necklace."

Once some emotions are cut off, they will turn into a vast whiteness if they want to continue them. When the witch mother talked about this incident, she no longer had the emotion she had at the beginning, and her language seemed dry, as if she was telling a clumsy and pale story. And this story was told by her mother, adding too many personal emotions. Perhaps it is the simplest description that can restore the truth of the past.

"Maybe he just wanted to keep it as a souvenir, who knows."

The witch mother said indifferently: "This set of jewelry is a sacred object of the witch clan, and its preciousness is equal to that of the Gu species. In order to retrieve the necklace, Wu Rong chased it out."

Then never came back.

Wu Rong didn't come back, but the foreigner did come back a month later, he came to send Gu seeds and a strange talisman. It is said that it can shatter the spirit Gu, specifically targeting the Emiao people, so that they cannot develop. Not knowing what he did, the witch and the people in the village finally let him go, and accepted the fact that the witch would go to seal the Great Tiankeng.

It was with this kind of talisman that the witch could have time to fuse the Gu species and become the new patriarch, leading the village to repel the Evil Miao people and drive them into the ghost domain. But the good times didn't last long, and this kind of talisman became invalid later. The village ushered in a more violent counterattack from the evil seedlings, and it was on the verge of collapse several times, until people from the Ministry of Public Security somehow came to Dashan and helped to keep the village and repel the evil seedlings.

They also brought a small urn.

Of course there was no ashes of the witch in it, only a handkerchief embroidered by the witch to keep her sister safe.

This is the last relic left by the heroes before they set out.

‘He promised to protect you with his life, and he will do his best to send you home. '

The witch mother still remembers that when she was a child, on the sixth day of a certain month, her mother left alone after she finished coaxing herself to sleep. The witch mother didn't fall asleep, she followed her mother naughtily and secretly until she reached an old building on stilts. She saw that the mother who had always been majestic and strong, guarding the entire Miao village like a towering tree, gave up her former calmness and howled in pain like a wounded she-wolf.

'He didn't do it, he didn't do anything. He's a hateful liar, thief! He stole you, sister, my sister. '

'I've lost you forever...'

—

After Wu Rong heard the whole story, she had some guesses about the identity of the person who put the hairpin under the school, but she couldn't be sure yet. The witch mother, who was in a good mood that day, told Wu Rong what she knew about the usage of the jewelry—she didn’t know much, because the witch had long thought that these jewelry and Wu Rong were all buried in the Great Tiankeng. There was no further mention of the sad event.

But digging out the red phoenix-tailed butterfly stone ball and feeding it to the Gu species is definitely the most wasteful and most prodigal way. After this set of jewelry is collected, it has great power, can communicate with heaven and earth, and transform ordinary Gu into a Gu king. Although Wu Rong only has one hairpin in his hand now, the blood of the Wu family can still make it play its greatest role.

With the hairpin in place, the Black Rock Tarantula, which had accumulated enough energy, broke its shell again, and the originally pure black carapace was covered with golden patterns, making it even more majestic and domineering. Not long after shedding its skin, the Green Spirit Gu also shed its skin again. The giant snake, which was already as huge as a python, has not changed in size, but the emerald green scales on its body have become darker, like the color of leaves in the depths of the rainforest, verdant and verdant. .

In addition, jewelry also has the effect of regulating yin and yang. The positive yang fire in Wu Rong's body and his own yin energy got along more harmoniously, as if they were a family. With the blood contract, Wu Rong's ability improvement also feeds back to Huangmao Baigu and Su Xiaomi.

Just as everyone's strength improved and they were nervously preparing for the battle, with disheveled hair and wrinkled robes, black eyes and **** mouth, Grandmaster Ling Yun, who looked like a madman and had no image at all, hurriedly found Wu Rong.

"My lord, I have discovered Chunyangzi's remnant soul!"

The author has something to say:

Chun Yangzi: There is only one truth!
