Looking at the black spider pattern put together by fragments, and thinking of the black spider on the calf of Ephedra, I am a little uneasy. The spider on the jar was drawn by the colorful people. Who rewarded the spider pattern on the sparrow’s leg? .

I thought about it for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that Qicairen is the god of Qingyadong Gu. After leaving Qingyadong, it is impossible to come back to admire the sparrow and a black spider. The only explanation is that there are also on Qingyadong ancestors. People are good at driving black spiders, and someone else rewards black spiders to sparrows.

I was relieved to figure out the joints. Otherwise, Xiao Feng would become the disciple of the Qicai people. If Ma Que'er becomes the heir of the Qicai people, then there will be conflicts, and I don't know what to do.

The oil lamp in the ancestral hall was still burning, the Seven Color Gu died, and the human-faced spiders were gone, returning to solitude again. After staying for a few minutes, I walked out of the ancestral hall, and walked to the entrance of the village of Qingyadong. The moon hung high above my head.

Suddenly, there was a weird cry from the distant mountains, and the forest was even more noisy. It appears that the wild boar is running rampant and disturbing the resting animal. But after a while, the whole mountain forest returned to tranquility and silence.

Sitting on the big rock, I remembered what Uncle Ghost said, I want to be as still as before, slowly feeling my breathing, and entering a state of silence. I slowly adjusted my breathing, meditating in my heart to calm myself down.

The little white dog slept on the side. I just settled down and muttered the name of the golden silkworm in my heart. After a while, I felt cold on my hands. I slightly opened my eyes and found that the golden silkworm Gu had fallen on me. Palm of your hand.

It emits a slight poisonous gas, and my palm is a little numb. I didn’t care about the tingling sensation in my hands. I gradually forgot about the pain in my hands, but my brain was very awake. Slowly, I felt a golden light appeared in my mind, shining brightly all around, and the whole person became warm. .

I faintly looked at a shadow, which was glowing with golden light. I guess it should be the golden silkworm, but I want to walk over, but there is no way. When I opened my eyes again, the moon had disappeared, and there were two days to the east.

The day was about to dawn, and I was a little surprised. I didn't expect to sit on the rock all night, and my body was already wet with dew. I hurriedly got up, picked up the little white dog, and ran back to the guest room to rest on the edge of the ancestral hall. Uncle Fatty has slept until he has sex, and his snoring is not so loud.

I took off my wet jacket and went back for a while. After about an hour, the outside was completely bright. Uncle Fatty woke up, washed his face, and asked me to get up.

After I got up, Huaxue also got up, and she looked much better than yesterday. Uncle Fatty also divided the medicinal materials sent by ephedra into two pots and boiled them, one for me and the other for Huaxue.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, there were bursts of crying from the Qingyadong ancestral hall, the loudest of which was the cry of ephedra. When Uncle Fatty and I passed by, we found a lot of people around the counter.

On the way out of the stockade, there were several strong men holding Miao swords and guarding the road. I don't think so well, maybe something will happen again.

Among them were two old men, looking at me with unkind eyes, wishing to come forward and bite me. I understand what they thought, Seven Color Gu could have lived a good life, but now that he fought against me, he is now dead. This responsibility must be borne by me.

I am not afraid of their eyes, because I did nothing wrong. If Seven Color Gu lives well, then I will definitely die. Ma Huang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Camellia Tong, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Kang. You can't be violent with Camellia because of this thing! Let's find a way to raise another Seven Color Gu."

Among them was an old man with a high level of virtue and seniority, smoking a dry cigarette and said: "Ephedra, can you raise Seven Color Gu? You are so funny, you brought this baby into the stockade, and you must let him Try Seven Color Gu's. Now Seven Color Gu has an accident, and the treasure worm in our village is dead. You said that it has nothing to do with him... How do you let others think of us Qingyadong."

Uncle Fatty wanted to rebut, I grabbed Uncle Fatty and whispered: "It's only Qingyadong's housework at the moment, we shouldn't interrupt." Uncle Fatty nodded and stepped aside.

Ma Huang said: "Why can't I have Seven Color Gu? Huh... You are an elder, and I won't fight with you. But right now I'm still the patriarch of Qingyadong, and everything is up to me. I'm willing to bet. Xiao Kang defeated Seven-color Gu. Seven-color Gu didn't get through it by himself, no wonder he, and you can't embarrass him."

Ephedra has a loud voice. The old man just waved his sleeves: "I think it is necessary to convene the clansmen for a meeting and change the patriarch."

Ma Huang smiled and said: "Yes, but before you convened people, I was still the patriarch. Now I want to send them out of the stockade. If you dare to do anything to me, you will violate the clan rules and you will lose the snake plate."

Ephedra passed from the crowd, walked in front of me and Uncle Fatty, and said, "I will send you out." Uncle Fatty asked: "You will have nothing to do, right?"

Ephedra said easily: "They changed me at most tonight. I'm not a patriarch. I can still raise scorpions and make a lot of money. I'm happy to..."

I thought about it. A large part of Qingyadong’s income comes from buying scorpions to make money. Although Ephedra does not have the Seven Color Gu, he still has a firm grasp of the scorpions in the corpse cave, and he also holds the financial power of the stockade. In hand, the people of Qingyadong cannot punish Ephedra even if they change the patriarch.

I said: "Uncle Fatty, let's go quickly, Uncle Ephedra will be fine." Uncle Fatty and I immediately packed up, brought flowers and snow, and under the escort of Ephedra, we walked all the way to the village entrance.

The news that Seven Color Gu died last night has spread in Qingyadong. The road out of the village was guarded by four strong men with long swords in their hands. They were tall and large and unusually strong.

"Leave the way, Brother Ma Ba, I will take the guests away." Ma Huang said loudly.

"The patriarch, the old lady has already said that before the change of patriarch, the three of them can't leave Qingyadong." Ma Ba, a simple and honest man, said pleadingly, "The meeting is about to be held soon. Let me down."

Without saying anything, Ma Huang walked forward, slightly on his toes, just two slaps on Ma Ba's face, and cursed: "I am still the patriarch now. Get out of me if you know you, if you dare to stop me again. The Golden Silkworm Gu carried on Brother Xiao’s body will pierce you directly into your throat. You don’t know how to die when you die."

The two slaps were slapped loudly, Ma Ba's face was printed with fingerprints, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. There was sweat on his forehead. Ma Huang did not wait for Ma Ba to give in, and shouted: "We are out of the stockade, I see if their swords dare to fall."

Ephedra passed from among the four strong men, and I, Uncle Fatty, and Huaxue followed out. After Ma Ba received two slaps, he clenched his fists and made the sound of beans popping, but he didn't dare to do it again.

After coming out of the stockade, Ephedra sent us to the entrance of the stockade, pulled me aside, and whispered: "Xiao Kang, I haven't found out that name, and I don't know the specific identity of the Qicai people."

After a pause, he said, "You must never come to Qingyadong from now on. After tonight, I will not be Qingyadong's talker, and I will no longer be the patriarch."

It seems that as soon as Seven Color Gu died, Qingyadong’s Liangzi and I were knotted, and I nodded: "I know, you have to take care too. If you don’t be the patriarch, you don’t have to worry about too much. When things ease, I I'll see you again..."

Ma Huang shook his head: "Remember, it's not for me to watch. The old thing that provokes my authority in the ancestral hall is most likely to be the underling of that colorful person. If he changes the patriarch, Qingyadong will most likely take The Qicai people are welcoming back. It can be said that the possibility of welcoming them is very high, almost 100%. Because the Qicai people will raise Seven-color Gu, and this alone can make the people of the tribe excited."

My body shook, and I didn't react for a long time. I never thought that after Seven Color Gu died, it would bring such a terrible chain reaction. Qingyadong has relied on Seven Color Gu Town for many years. The villagers have a strong dependence on Seven Color Gu. Now that Seven Color Gu is dead, the impact on their hearts is certainly not weak.

The possibility mentioned by Ephedra will happen completely. In other words, Qicai people will return to Qingyadong.

Ma Huang went on to say: "This will be the territory of the colorful people, so you must never come back to see me. You have to live well. When you grow up and your skills become stronger, come back to see me."
