The thin line finally swam into the clearing in the forest, and a vague smell of burning smell rose up. Wen Leyang squinted and finally saw clearly what was coming. wWW.QuanBen-XiaoShuo.COm
A small reptile no longer than a little finger, with a few sparse barbs growing on its body, and its whole body was dark red and extremely fat. It looked like a clumsy and over-nourished caterpillar that had just crawled out of a red paint can.
Behind the insect, a scorched black line was left, as if the grass, trees and rocks had been burned with fire pliers.
The caterpillar circled around the incense cauldron a few times, then jumped into the cauldron with a sharp bounce. It squeaked a few times as if it was extremely happy, and then stopped moving.
After another long while, Wen Tunhai laughed and said: "It's done!" Then he jumped down from the big tree, reached for the incense cauldron, opened it and checked to make sure it was okay, and then handed it to Wen Leyang: "Boy, do you know what this is? ?”
Wen Leyang held the incense cauldron and shook his head. The caterpillar, which was quite big when it arrived, had curled up into a ball and was lying comfortably in the cauldron, motionless. It was unclear whether it was sleeping or dead. I want to reach out and touch it, but I don't dare. The insects that can be attracted by the incense cauldron are so poisonous that even Wen family disciples don't dare to touch it easily.
Wen Tunhai laughed loudly: "It's worthless, don't worry, this kind of bug is called a lantern bug. Don't worry, it burns all the vegetation on the road, but it's actually not very poisonous!"
Wen Leyang looked puzzled: "Isn't it very toxic?"
Wen Tunhou nodded, still with a smile on his face: "This is a larvae. When it spins into a cocoon and turns into a 'Buddha Lantern Yin', it will become something terrible. It is the most powerful fire poison in the world! Put your hand in it." !”
The two silly uncles lying on the branches of the tree also blinked and looked at the ground with curious faces, but other than that, no one wanted to move first. Their eyes looking at Xiangding seemed like they were about to reach out their little hands. .
Wen Leyang didn't understand why his uncle asked him to do this, but he still put his hand into the incense cauldron cautiously. The fat little insect suddenly straightened its body and suddenly ran into the palm of his hand. Its fat body kept squirming and rolling. Go away, as if he was playing, Wen Leyang felt his palms were hot, and his body shook as if he were pulling his hands out. His uncle held his wrist down: "Don't move! Can't move!"
The 'Buddha Lantern Bug' played in Wen Leyang's hand for a while. It seemed that he was tired, so he jumped down again with his head and tail wagging, continued to curl up in the incense cauldron, and began to sleep.
Only then did Wen Tunhai take out his hand: "Boy, from now on, play with him for a while every day. Remember, never leave the Xiangding Cauldron before it leaves on its own initiative!"
Wen Leyang took out his palm and took a look in the moonlight. He saw a thin fiery red line slowly spreading along the blood veins towards his shoulders. There were countless tiny holes in the palm of his hand, which were all pricked by the hard hairs on the insects.
Wen Leyang was extremely shocked. Once the fiery red thread spread to his chest, not even gods could save him. He hurriedly took out the powder used by the Wen family to extract poisons from his arms and applied it on his palm. The fingers of his other hand were like wheels. He kept pressing three inches below the vein of the poisoned arm. The poisonous line soon stopped spreading and slowly fell back. After a while, a few drops of extremely red blood squeezed out from the wound in his palm. .
Ever since he started soaking in highly poisonous medicinal wine and practicing wrong punches, poisonous insects such as scorpions and centipedes have always been around him. Once, a large centipede with a fiery red body and nearly three inches long was chased by him and had no way out. He turned around and bit him. After biting him, the centipede turned over and died, and nothing happened to him.
Although this Buddhist lantern bug is not considered a poisonous thing in the eyes of the inner disciples of the Wen family, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is absolutely hopeless. This kind of bug has five elements: fire, has a naughty nature, and likes to be with boys the most. It's fun, but most people are killed by it.
Wen Tunhai watched him skillfully remove the poison from himself, and a trace of satisfaction flashed across his expression: "In the future, if you have time, just play with it for a while. When one day, he is willing to leave the Xiangding along your arm, it means that it Now that you have recognized the Lord, you can carry it with you in the future. If by chance it can break out of the cocoon and turn into a butterfly and become a Buddha lamp guide, hey, boy, you will be very blessed!"
Wen Leyang nodded happily at first, and then asked with some confusion: "What a coincidence?"
The Buddha's lantern insect carries the fire element among the five elements. After turning into an adult Buddha's lantern insect, the fire poison in the body increases sharply. It is the most poisonous poison in the world. However, according to the records of the ancestors of the Wen family, most of these insects are in the form of polyps. After the cocoon, they died in the cocoon before turning into a butterfly. No one knows the specific reason for their death.
Wen Leyang stuck out his tongue. Since his uncle didn't know about it, he didn't have to worry about it. However, when he thought of the insect claiming his master, it was still a chubby insect, which made him feel interesting. The man named Wen had been dealing with poisonous insects since he was a child. Generally speaking, the more poisonous a bug is, the more ferocious and weird it looks. It's rare to see one as naive as this.
After Wen Tunhai finished instructing his nephew, he suddenly pointed at Wen Shisan and shouted: "Shisan, you moved, you are a bastard!"
Wen Shisan screamed and jumped down from the tree: "I didn't move!"
"How did you jump down without moving?!" Wen Tunhai laughed loudly, winked slyly at Wen Leyang, and whispered: "If these two brothers want to pester you in the future, they will use this trick."
Wen Leyang smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to say that uncle is a bastard." After speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly added: "I don't dare to say that uncle is a bastard!"
Wen Tunhai spat: "Sleep, sleep, whoever doesn't sleep is a bastard!"
Wen Shisan was tricked by his uncle. He was so angry that he refused to sleep. He took out a puppet from his arms. It seemed to be his favorite toy since he was a child. However, the toy in his hand was much more complicated than ordinary string puppets. It was densely packed with countless control ropes. Wen Shisan played with it skillfully a few times, and the puppet seemed to be a living person. The joints all over the body are extremely flexible.
Wen Jiu was also attracted and shouted: "Yue Buqun, you despicable villain, give back the lives of the five hundred members of my independent group!" He also played with a puppet and rushed forward. come over.
Wen Shisan showed no sign of weakness: "Look at the Bodhidharma Fist passed down by your Taoist ancestors!"
The two brothers laughed and let the puppets fight, shouting and screaming so much that the crows for miles around were croaking...
Wen Leyang followed his uncle all the way into the mountains. The two silly uncles were beside them, making fuss and laughter from time to time. Wen Jiu and Wen Shisan were simple-minded, just like children who had just learned to walk, especially with them. People around their relatives became more energetic and curious about everything they saw. They quickly became familiar with Wen Leyang.
Wen Tunhai was not impatient at all, on the contrary, he looked at them with a bit of reluctance, and from time to time he would tell his two silly brothers: "If Leyang is bullied in the future, you uncles can't ignore it! "
"If anyone dares to bully our Sun, I will punch his intestines out!"
The two brothers couldn't remember Leyang at all. They called Wen Leyang all day long, and he had long been used to it.
Wen Leyang didn't recognize the road for a long time. He only remembered that they were heading west, constantly climbing over mountains and ridges. When he had time, he would put his hand into the incense cauldron and play with the Buddha lampworms for a while. , and then grinned again to extract the poison, until three days later, the uncle pointed to a red leaf forest not far away: "Leyang, we're here!"
The surrounding green mountains are full of spring green. Among the vast expanse of green, the small piece of red forest is like a jumping flame, which is extremely eye-catching.
Wen Leyang smiled bitterly: "Uncle, you should tell me where this is now, right?"
Before Wen Tunhai could speak, Wen Jiu came over and took Wen Leyang's hand: "Taiyang, I know, this is the old goblin's home!"
Wen Shisan also nodded vigorously and said seriously: "That's right, there are many people in the old goblin's family who eat meat every day! If you go, you can also eat meat!"
Before the two of them finished speaking, a hoarse voice that could not be identified as male or female suddenly came: "You two are here, and you have meat to eat, so why don't you come!"
As if they had seen a ghost, Wen Jiu and Wen Shisan each screamed strangely and hid behind Wen Tunhai. Wen Jiu also reminded him with great loyalty: "Run, Sun, the old goblin is here!"
Light footsteps sounded, and an old woman wearing a robe, with white hair and dense wrinkles on her face walked tremblingly from a distance, but it didn't take long before she arrived in front of Wen Leyang and others.
Wen Tunhai hurriedly shouted to Wen Leyang: "Come and meet the elders of our Wen family!"
Wen Leyang knelt down directly and knocked his head to the ground: "Wen Leyang has seen... my aunt..." Before he finished speaking, Wen Leyang felt his eyes go dark, and then the skin all over his body suddenly tightened like cowhide pulled by cold water, fiercely. The pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.
Wen Tunhai hurriedly supported his nephew: "The boy is blind. This is your Fourth Grandpa. Kowtow again!" Then he said to the old man: "Fourth Dad, this child has always been a little confused. Don't..."
The three parents in the Wen family village are all around eighty years old. However, they usually take good care of themselves and look to be in their sixties. However, the fourth grandfather in front of him looks like he must be over a hundred years old. The shallowest wrinkles on the face are half an inch deep, and the old one cannot tell the gender at all.
Wen Leyang had never heard that he had a fourth grandfather. He called him aunt. He was misled by his two uncles. Generally, monsters are male and goblins are female.
Mr. Wen Si's cold snort was like an ice needle, piercing deeply into Wen Leyang's eardrum with a sharp sound that broke through the air.
Wen Leyang was shaking all over in pain, and with the help of his uncle, he kowtowed reluctantly: "I have seen Fourth Grandpa. My grandson Wen Leyang is unreasonable. Fourth Grandpa forgives me."
Only then did Fourth Master Wen gently wave his hand: "This is the disciple of our Wen family who passed the exam this time? Every generation is worse than the last!" Wen Leyang felt that his whole body suddenly relaxed, and the cramping and bone-gnawing pain had suddenly subsided. .
With a charming smile on his face, Wen Tunhai bowed to the Fourth Old Man before speaking: "Fourth Dad, don't say that. After we have been together for a long time, you will know that this doll has some merits! You see, you and the He said it, or did I say it?”
Mr. Wen Si impatiently waved his sleeves and motioned for Wen Tunhai to speak. His cold eyes began to look at Wen Jiu and Wen Shisan. The two silly men usually refused to stop for even a moment without reciting incantations. Now in the old man's competition Under the cold gaze of the poisonous snake, he didn't even dare to move, and just stood there obediently.
Wen Leyang complained in his heart, it seemed that he would have to eat meat with this fourth grandfather in the past two years.
Wen Tunhai ignored the bitter look on his face and pointed at the red leaf forest first, and then said loudly: "In the red leaf forest, there is the main place of my Tuo Xie Sect: the place of birth, old age, sickness and death."
Wen Leyang felt that his brain was a little cramped. This time when he went into the mountains, he first met two silly uncles whom he had never known before, and then met the fourth grandfather whom he had never heard of. Finally, he came out of the Wen family's important birthplace, old age, illness and death.
Every force, whether it's a family, a sect or an organization, will have its own secrets. The Wen family learned from 'Tuo Xie' and have been entrenched in Jiuding Mountain for two thousand years. It was once regarded as a forbidden land by the world, so naturally it will be no exception.
The life, old age, illness and death are the biggest secrets of the Wen family.
Shengzihao: Stores various classics, including the experiences collected and summarized by Wenbucao's ancestors through the generations, the five elements attributes of all things, poisonous prescriptions, and folk magic prescriptions. Don’t even think about finishing it.
Time-honored brand: It stores the corpses of the elders of the past surnamed Wen. These people were extremely poisonous when they were alive, and accumulated a large amount of toxins in their bodies. After death, the corpses will not rot or become beetles. Throwing them in the water will poison the fish, and they will not survive if they are buried in the soil. When grass grows or is exposed to fire, it turns into poisonous smoke that corrodes the soul and corrodes the bones. For the sake of environmental protection, they are all collected in Lao Zi Fang.
Disease number: Breeding a large amount of poisonous substances.
Death Character: The secret base where the Wen family cultivates strength and masters.
The Wen family has been standing for two thousand years, and its poisonous skills have become increasingly sophisticated, largely due to this workshop.
This Fourth Master Wen is the owner of the House of Life, Aging, Sickness and Death. Without his consent, even Mr. Wen cannot reveal the affairs of the House to others.
Fourth Master Wen waited expressionlessly for Wen Tunhai to finish, then looked at Wen Leyang with the eyes of a housewife picking cabbage, and then slowly raised two fingers to him: "In two years, the house of birth, old age, sickness and death can only accommodate you two." Years, you can browse the classics in the workshop. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me. If you have something to do, you don’t have to say hello to me. But it’s only two years. What you can learn has nothing to do with me. If you are still here after two years If you don’t leave the village, you won’t have to leave for the rest of your life.”
Wen Tunhai frowned: "Fourth dad, two years is too short, there are so many classics in the workshop..."
There was no expression on Mr. Wen's face, and he shook his head stiffly: "This kind of thing, it doesn't matter if it lasts for ten years or a hundred years."
Wen Leyang's face turned red from holding back, but he still asked respectfully: "What are the rules in the workshop? Please tell me, Grandpa Fourth."
There was a hint of disdain in Fourth Master Wen's eyes: "There are not many rules. I'll tell you later. As for the rest, there are no restrictions. If you think you have the ability to burn this house down, you can do it." Try the fire." After saying that, he no longer looked at Wen Leyang, but turned to look at Wen Tunhai, and suddenly asked confusedly: "What's wrong?"
Wen Tunhai shook his head, glanced at the confused Wen Leyang beside him, and said nothing.
Fourth Master Wen actually sighed. This was the only emotional sound Wen Leyang heard from him since he saw him.
Mr. Wen Si took out a small red square box from his arms and threw it to Wen Tunhai: "Take this thing with you. Be careful in everything and don't force it!" After saying this, he turned towards Hongye without looking back. Lin walked away.
The uncle received the box, stepped forward quickly, and gently pushed Wen Leyang's back: "You are here to study the ancient classics in Shengzihao. If you understand something, you will naturally be able to reach a higher level and find configurations for you. Poison prescriptions that suit your body type are of great benefit. Even if you can’t understand them, just write down a few more poison prescriptions and you’ll be able to use them in the future. Fourth Dad is a cold-faced person with a warm heart. You’ll know it after getting along with him for a while. Hurry up and follow him. Take good care of him. You can learn a lot after two years of study, and I’ll pick you up in two years!”
Wen Jiu and Wen Shisan also jumped over, stretched out their hands to hold Wen Leyang's sleeves, and asked with a serious look: "Taiyang, are we brothers going to come back to play with you?" After that, he said to him mysteriously : "We'll teach you how to play marionette and fight."
Wen Leyang nodded with a smile, and then took long strides to chase the fourth grandfather. Uncle Wen Tunhai looked at his back and moved his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he shook his head and reached out to pat his two silly faces. Brother: "Come, big brother will play with you in the mountains for a few more days!"
Wen Jiu and Wen Shisan cheered loudly... (Quanben Novel Website www.QuanBen-XiaoShuo.com)
