C50 Deception
I passed over a bottle of pills that the bugs gave me to the Boss Liu. There was also a list of many medicines.
After careful consideration, I decided to agree to the bug's request.
In reality, the reason why I agreed to it was not because of Xiao Liu. Even though he was once my prison friend, and there was some friendship between the two of them, I still felt some sympathy towards him. However, this was not enough to affect my determination.
I agreed to the insect because I understood her pains.
All this way, I learned courage from the bugs, kindness, responsibility, and how to be a man I could trust.
She didn't just teach me those things about cultivation, she also taught me how to be a person.
At the same time, I couldn't help but fall in love with this girl who was sometimes warm, sometimes gentle, sometimes aloof and indifferent.
This time, it wasn't because of her beautiful appearance, but because of her crystal clear heart.
This person, it's a bit strange, you don't care, freedom, no matter how you do it, but when you are really interested, you are worried about your gains and losses, and you think that you are a schizophrenic. I am always amused by my own performance, why do you become so indecisive when you are not a young man who has just fallen in love?
Did he care too much?
In any case, I agreed to it for the sake of the bugs and for my own sake.
I wish I could become stronger and not feel so inferior in front of her.
I told the Boss Liu and Xiao Liu to return and prepare a set of medicine for this illness. After two months, we'll meet in Spring City and at that time, we'll naturally help Xiao Liu cure it.
Boss Liu was a little anxious and asked why did he have to wait for two more months. If possible, could he go back with them now?
Why two months?
I couldn't tell Boss Liu that this was because we didn't want to delay the trip north because of him, so we could only tell him a white lie. Telling him that it isn't possible to cure the parasite anytime and anywhere, it needs to cooperate with him for a long time, and Xiao Liu's current condition doesn't have the conditions to cure the parasite either.
Boss Liu was a little worried that we would arrive as planned. Regarding this question, I was also a little nervous, but I still expressed full confidence in myself.
Seeing me pat my chest in assurance, he finally chose to trust me and talked about payment.
I told him that Xiao Liu was a fellow prisoner, and since I had a way, I wouldn't be stingy. This had nothing to do with money, I assured him that there was no need to spend it.
Hearing my words, Boss Liu seemed to not believe it at all. After exchanging some polite words with me for a while, he left as if he believed me.
When the Boss Liu and his group drove away, I saw the strange smile on the insect's face and asked her what was going on?
She says you're getting better at lying, and it makes sense to lie with your eyes open.
I said that I learned all this from a master in the art, and that I was just making up nonsense.
She stared at me for a long moment, then suddenly grabbed my collar and said, "Do you remember the agreement between us that day when we saved her?"
I didn't know what she was up to, so I nodded my head and said, "I promised you something. Just say it, don't make a move."
She nodded in satisfaction, then said to me, "I didn't say it before, but now I know — you must promise me that you will never lie to me again, do you understand?"
I smiled and casually said that I would promise you that I wouldn't lie to you in the future.
Her face became very serious. She stared into my eyes and said, word for word, "You've agreed, haven't you? If you lie to me in the future, I will never forgive you, okay? "
Her seriousness made me a little flustered, and I thought she was making a big deal out of it.
However, I was a little scared by her gaze. In the end, I also became serious. I said that I won't lie to you in the future, believe me.
The two of them chatted as they left the village and continued north.
For some reason, when she told me about this incident, she seemed to be in a rather low mood. She didn't pay much attention to me, and as I followed her, I could clearly feel the pressure exuding from her body, so I didn't dare to say anything more and just followed her every step of the way.
Even though I don't understand it clearly, I could roughly guess that it probably came from the's sad memories.
Then who in this world lied to the Chi-Li Nai to the point of her brooding?
Could it be Luo Shiba?
Sigh, my beloved Grand Preceptor, what sort of heinous crimes have you done that have caused me to be unable to rest in peace?
After walking for four or five days like this, she finally managed to slowly recover from her shock. Occasionally, there was a smile on her face, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a little more relaxed just now. In the end, she found me, saying that we had reached the territory of the, and that we had left a legacy of the seedling border nearby.
Hearing her words, I was immediately taken aback.
I had been thinking about her for the past few days, but I had forgotten about this serious matter. I just remembered, what ability would I have if I were to beat someone else's door?
Wasn't it because he was beaten black and blue that he couldn't take care of himself?
I hesitated, but the bugs looked at me coldly and said, Are you afraid?
I was originally quite calm, but now, I can't stand being provoked. In an instant, I started to panic, revealing my intentions and saying who's the one who's afraid of being the grandson.
She nodded. Okay, as long as you have the courage. To tell you the truth, the Dushan Gu seedling is the weakest one among them. After going through a series of twists and turns, she lost many of her secret techniques and she doesn't know whether or not she still has the inheritance.
She paused, and my face lit up, thinking that even if she failed, someone would always be around to sort things out.
However, before I could rejoice, she continued, "Even if you die, I can still help you collect your corpse, can't I?"
Corpses?
My god, what the hell are you doing? Why is everything alright, you are going to collect my corpse. That Dushan Gu seedling shouldn't be that fierce right?
Seeing my pale face, she laughed, and said 'coaxing', that Dushan Gu seedling is one of the Twelve Zodiac Temples, she had always been acting as an assistant and did not learn any powerful techniques, which is also due to the local conditions. The poison is extremely strong, but as long as you pay attention, it's fine.
After all, I have been studying the《 Twelve Techniques of Suppressing Mountains and Mountains》 for the past few days, and I have also studied the methods of controlling Gu, as well as the methods of using Gu, so I won't easily lose out.
We stayed nearby for a day, and I used that time to find some herbs.
These herbs could be used to guard against poisonous insects. They were prepared according to the records in the method, and then under the guidance of the bugs, they headed to the Miao Village, which was located in the middle of the mountain.
When they were close to the village, the bugs pulled a veil over their faces.
I was surprised and asked her why.
She told me that the Chi-Li Nai had been here for more than a hundred years. Although it has already been a hundred years, there would inevitably be some elderly people remaining.
In order to avoid trouble, it would be better for her to cover her face.
I understand.
As they slowly walked down the mountain, they gradually saw a large area of terraced fields in front of them, as well as mountain people working in the fields. Looking at their clothes, they really did look a little different from the villages they passed before.
These people seemed to be very wary of outsiders. Halfway up the mountain with the bugs, someone stopped us.
He was a heroic Miao Family kid, around sixteen to seventeen years old. He was different from the other Burmese people he had encountered along the way. Not only was he not wretched, submissive, but he also had a sturdy build and was extremely valiant.
A red cloth was tied to his forehead.
he shouted, telling us not to stop, but the bugs came up and said something I didn't understand to the young man.
When the man heard this, his face changed dramatically. He put the thumb and forefinger of his right hand in his mouth and blew hard.
The whistle echoed throughout the entire mountainside.
Not long after, a group of sturdy looking, agile Miao Family men arrived. There were seventeen of them, led by a middle-aged man with numerous scars on his face. He scanned me and the bugs with eagle-like eyes, and after a long while, he finally said, "…"
Uh, to be honest, I really can't understand it, but after thinking about it, it should be Miao language.
The bugs came out and talked to that man for a few minutes. The Miao Family man raised his hands and roared furiously, while the rest of them also jumped over and surrounded us, all the way until we arrived at a threshing floor in the village.
Only then did I get the chance to ask the bugs what exactly did you tell them just now?
The insect smiled and whispered to me, "What I was saying before was that those things you saw in the Dushan Gu seedling were all a pile of dog shit. You would use your own methods to let those people know what the real Gu poison is!"
I opened my eyes wide, and after a long time, a single word came out.
F * ck!
