Chapter 1404 The Treasure Appraisal Streamer Sets a Scam 4
On the first day Shu Jiao arrived in Weizhai, she learned that the whole village was talking nonsense.
As she stepped into Kui Village, it was getting dark, and she was looking for a place to stay.
On the way, I met a young girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen.
Shu Jiao stopped the girl, but before she could speak, a small purple centipede crawled out from the girl's ankle and silently climbed up Shu Jiao's wrist along her clothes.
The waving of its antennae is as if it's saying "HI, hello".
Shu Jiao: ...
Shu Jiao opened her hand, and the little centipede crawled up the back of her hand into her palm. Its antennae on its head were moving around lively, clearly liking her very much.
Little girl: ……
For a moment, there was an indescribable awkwardness in the atmosphere.
The little girl's face immediately filled with panic, and she quickly took two steps back. "This, this isn't my pet, no, I mean, nobody in our village raises pets... no, that's not what I meant..."
You shut mouth, hurry up and lie!
The village chief said they can't let outsiders know they're raising Gu poison!
"Ha~"
Shu Jiao chuckled and teased the little centipede with her fingertip. "Since it wasn't raised by you, it'll come with me~ okay, Little Purple?"
"No! This is..."
The little girl opened her mouth, her face turning red, but she didn't know what to say.
That little expression really made Shu Jiao laugh.
She casually took out the venom-raising pills she had obtained when she was the holy maiden of Miao territory and gave one to the little centipede.
Smelling the scent, the little centipede didn't know what it was, but it knew this thing was good for it, so it subconsciously curled up the pill and slowly ate it into its stomach.
"what is this?"
The little girl twitched her nose, sniffed the scent, and smelled some familiar medicinal herbs that were beneficial to Gu. Instead of stopping her, she asked curiously.
At this point, she no longer wanted to lie.
To be able to obtain such a pill, this woman, who is so beautiful she seems inhuman, must also be raising Gu poison, or she must be connected to the Miao village.
Then they're not outsiders.
If we're not outsiders, there's no need to hide it.
"Gu Spirit Pill".
Shu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly and touched the centipede. "It's good for it."
"I know, are you also a Gu Master?"
"Forget it."
No wonder my little bell likes you so much.
The girl immediately smiled. "Hello, my name is Miao Yun, what's your name?"
"Shu Jiao".
Shu Jiao introduced herself and stepped inside. "I'm here to take care of some business. It's getting late, and I was just about to ask someone for the night. Miss Miao Yun, is your place convenient?"
"It's convenient, you can stay at my place."
Miao Yun smiled brightly, "You can just call me Yun'er. Sister Shu, are there Gu Masters outside? Are you here to find materials for refining Gu?"
Shu Jiao: "Didn't you discover a large tomb here?"
Yes, that's right.
As Miao Yun led the way, she said, "Sister Shu, do you want to go down into the tomb? Our Miao village is also setting off in a few days. Would you like to come with us?"
"It's too dangerous to be alone."
In Miao Yun's mind, Shu Jiao = Gu Master = one of her own, so there would be no problem going down into the tomb together.
"Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person because you're so friendly with me?"
Seeing Miao Yun's innocent appearance, Shu Jiao couldn't help but ask curiously.
With looks like that, any slightly experienced swindler could easily swindle someone, right?
Miao Yun shook her head and pointed to the little bell in her palm. "If you have bad intentions, the little bell will sense it and won't come near you. It will also warn me."
Since Little Bell didn't give any warning, it means that the older sister is a good person.
"It really is a treasure."
Shu Jiao poked the little bell's antennae and chuckled, "I used to keep a centipede as a pet too. But it was much more powerful than yours. You could keep some golden scorpions for it to eat..."
Miao Yun listened and nodded.
As he walked to his doorstep, he shouted loudly, "Aman~ Anai~ Awu is here~"
What followed was a series of obscure and difficult-to-understand Miao words, recounting her encounter with Shu Jiao.
Hey?
Oh?
Miao Yun's parents listened with some surprise, looking at Shu Jiao and then at the well-behaved and lively little bell in her palm.
"Distinguished guest."
Miao's mother smiled warmly and called out in her not-so-fluent Mandarin.
"Aya, you're welcome."
Shujiao is also familiar with the Miao language.
When he opened his mouth, he spoke Miao language more fluently than Miao rhyme, sounding just like a local.
Miao's parents' eyes immediately lit up, and they switched to their local language. When they found that Shu Jiao really understood and spoke it well, their smiles became even brighter.
If he's a Gu Master and can speak Miao language, then he's definitely one of us!
Upon learning that Shu Jiao wanted to go down into the tomb, Miao's parents nodded, "Why don't you go with our people in a few days? It's safer than you going alone."
"I'm used to doing things alone."
Shu Jiao refused, then asked, "Has someone already gone in?"
Yes. Quite a few.
As she spoke, a hint of mockery appeared in Miao's eyes. "Don't worry. That tomb isn't so easy to set. Three of our Gu worms died as soon as they entered from the outer perimeter."
"However, news has spread that there are probably quite a few vicious Gu inside."
In their village, everyone had to make thorough preparations at home before daring to go in. Those hotheaded youths, knowing nothing, dared to rush in.
She admired their courage.
By now, they're probably all dead.
Just right.
Let them step on the mechanisms inside, and help them find a way out.
After finishing her meal, Xiao Lingdang swallowed the entire pill and lazily wrapped herself around Shu Jiao's wrist, as if she had fallen asleep.
Miao Yun blew the whistle three times before it reluctantly crawled back onto Miao Yun's hand.
Enraged, Miao Yun picked it up with two fingers and went to train the Gu.
Shu Jiao chuckled twice.
Miao's mother and father didn't ask about Shu Jiao's Gu.
The Gu Master's Gu is something she won't tell you about herself, so you can't just ask about it. It's a life-saving concoction; asking about it is taboo.
However, Shu Jiao thought for a moment, "San'er, do you want to go for a walk?"
"Let me look for it."
003 left behind these words, and three seconds later, it transformed into a vibrant green snake, coiling around Shu Jiao's wrist like a jade bracelet. "Host, from now on, I'm your snake. You have to take care of me, okay?"
“I will raise you. As long as I have food to eat, you will have food to eat too.”
Shu Jiao touched the snake's body.
It's icy cold.
It's like having a built-in mini air conditioner in the summer; it's a great way to beat the heat.
The next day, upon learning that Shu Jiao was also a Gu Master from Wei Village, they prepared a welcome banquet for her, with drinks and songs, a carefree and enjoyable occasion.
I fell asleep and slept from night to dawn.
Shu Jiao tidied herself up and went inside.
Miao's mother said, "We'll go in a couple of days. If you encounter any difficulties inside, just ask one of our people to join you."
"it is good."
Shu Jiao did not refuse.
She could sense that there were many vicious Gu in Wei Village, which meant that there must be many capable people there!
After walking along the winding path, the mountain grass had grown to waist height, and a group of grave-digging teams who took a shortcut had trampled a path through the middle of it.
Shu Jiao followed the road, climbing up and down slopes.
Don't say it.
With the blessing of his bloodline, his physical strength is top-notch; he can climb two mountains in a morning without even panting.
