Wolf Dysprosium

Tunlongkou, the sky and the sea are the same color in the dark night, and the stars are reflected from the sky, breaking into ripples one after another.

The water bandits of the Qingqiu gang were swimming outside the Tunlong mouth, when they suddenly saw a small boat coming slowly from the east.There was a white-haired old woman on the boat, standing on the bow of the boat, muttering something, and a dark-skinned young man was rowing the oars.

The water pirates climbed onto the reef dripping wet, some waited for the boat to approach, and some rushed into Tunlongkou, shouting: "Boss! Grandma is here!"

Yue Lianlou, who was looking at the map of Chiyan brought by Chen Shuang, suddenly raised his head, Zhang Mo closed his eyes and listened carefully: "...it's a mother-in-law, and from the accent, it seems to be from Qiongzhou."

Yue Lianlou jumped over to kiss him on the face, pushed the window and jumped out, landing on the deck with a thud.All the pirates in Qingqiu's gang went to the deck to meet that "grandmother".The old woman looked about five or sixty years old, with silver-white hair, but her face was still smooth and delicate, like a young woman.Zheng Wu lovingly and affectionately helped the old woman onto the boat, taking each "mother-in-law" one at a time.

Yue Lianlou knew that the person he and Zhang Mo had been waiting for had finally arrived.He straightened his clothes, stepped forward quickly, bowed and said, "Grandma."

The old woman called herself Mrs. Bei, and was not disgusted when she saw Yue Lianlou's upright and polite appearance.She is from Qiongzhou. She has practiced medicine for decades since she was a primary school doctor.Back then, she was kidnapped by the boss of Qingqiu to become the ship's wife, but she unexpectedly cured the chronic headache that the boss had suffered for many years.The boss respects and loves her, and takes her with him wherever he goes. Zheng Wu is the orphan they picked up from the sea near Qiongzhou.After the boss died, the Qingqiu gang was handed over to Zheng Wu to inherit, and the old water bandits left one after another. Mrs. Bei left Zheng Wu, and took her apprentices around to help the world.

"The hurricane is coming." Mrs. Bei said as she sat down, "The color of the sea has changed, and the flight and sound of gulls have also changed. Zheng Wu, you have to be prepared."

"Everything is ready. When the wind blows, a few people and I will stay here to watch the boat, and the rest will be transferred to Haimen Town," Zheng Wu said.

"No." Mrs. Bei said decisively, "No one should be left on board. This time the wind was unusual. I came all the way here, and there were many fish that I had never seen in the sea. I am afraid that all the things hidden in the deepest place were overturned. Come up."

Zheng Wu was stunned: "...Could it be Haiyi? Then Haimen Town can't stay there, you have to tell the people in the town to take refuge in Aunt Mountain in the morning."

While the two were talking, Yue Lianlou sat quietly at the side all the time, refilling Mrs. Bei's wine from time to time.Mrs. Bei looked at him, and he smiled.Mrs. Bei pointed at him and said to Zheng Wu, "What the hell is he here for?"

Yue Lianlou hurriedly said respectfully, "Please help Mrs. Bei."

Zheng Wu and her adoptive mother briefly explained the purpose of Yue Lianlou.Mrs. Bei learned of the conditions proposed by Yue Lianlou, she pondered for a moment and asked: "It is not an easy task for you to bring the Qingqiu Gang into Lie Xingjiang. Who are you? Why do you praise Haikou like this?"

"Ming Ye Tang Yangshou, Yue Lian Lou." Yue Lian Lou said frankly, "Madam, if you have a little understanding of Da Yu Jianghu, you should have heard of Ming Ye Tang's name. Although Ming Ye Tang is a Jianghu gang, it is also We are good at doing business. We do not interfere with the well water of the Lie Xingjiang water gang, but we often have large business dealings, and we have friendship."

"No matter how good the friendship is, it's not okay for the Qingqiu gang to step in and snatch people's business."

"Now the whole territory of Lixingjiang and Jiangbei has been ceded to Beirong. Da Yu and Beirong use Lixingjiang as the dividing line. The business relationship between the two countries is more complicated than before. There are many insightful people in the Lixingjiang Water Gang. Now We are actively recruiting capable people. Zheng Wu and Qingqiu Gang were recommended by Ming Yetang, so naturally they won’t cause the Water Gang’s resentment, and with our mediation and approval from the Water Gang, business and money will naturally flow in.”

Mrs. Bei looked at him quietly, Yue Lianlou finished speaking in one breath, her face was calm and steady, but she muttered silently in her heart: If you talk too much, you will be taken care of, I just hope that Zhang Mo will not be punished too harshly in the future.

Mrs. Bei asked Zheng Wu if she had made up her mind, Zheng Wu nodded and said yes.Ruohai's offshore business was almost robbed by Qiong Zhoushui's gang, and Qingqiu's gang couldn't continue, so he had to go north to Lie Xingjiang to survive.Mrs. Bei pondered for a moment, then drank the warm rice wine in her cup and asked, "Where is the patient?"

After Zhang Mo took the medicine prescribed by Zheng Wu, his binocular vision has gradually recovered, but the Gu worms in his abdomen are still in constant pain twice a day, which tortured him so much that he couldn't eat or sleep well, and even Yue Lianlou was haggard.Mrs. Bei checked his pulse, examined his tongue, eyes and other positions, felt and pressed his abdomen with both hands, and after a long time got up and asked the apprentice for an incense stick.After the incense was lit, Zhang Mo felt so painful that he was about to spring up. The iron ring and chain in his hand slammed, and he pulled him straight.

Yue Lianlou was startled, and rushed over to pry his mouth open: "Don't bite your tongue, bite me."

Zhang Mo pushed him away, bit his fingers, his forehead was dripping with sweat, his eyes were slack, and he hung his head and kept panting.Mrs. Bei had already extinguished the incense, and twirled her fingers: "The voodoo mother is not dead, and the voodoo is acting according to the law. If you want to live, first kill the voodoo mother, and then I will help you get rid of the voodoo."

Yue Lianlou: "What...? What Gu mother? Can't you just let him take medicine to kill the bugs in his belly?"

"No." Mrs. Bei said displeased, "He is suffering from Yin-Yang Gu. The Chiyan medicine refiner refines Yin-Yang Gu to control people and elephants, and the connection between Gu mother and Gu Zi. If you use medicine to kill Gu Zi, the Gu After the mother sensed it, she became more and more vicious, I am afraid that the Guzi is not dead, but this person is already gutted."

"Then, where is the Gu mother?"

"It must be on the alchemist."

"The alchemist is dead."

Mrs. Bei was startled: "Dead? It's not good, if the alchemist dies, the Gu mother will leave on her own."

Yue Lianlou couldn't help feeling extremely regretful.He went to the Alchemy Valley to rescue Zhang Mo that day, how could he know that there were so many twists and turns.He had always killed people neatly, and all the alchemists in the Valley of Medicine had hideous faces. At that time, he was in the midst of extreme anger and hatred, Feng Tianyu cut off the alchemist's head like scissors.After letting all the drug slaves go, he left with Zhang Mo on his back, and then turned around and set fire in the medicine refining valley.That Gu mother must have taken advantage of the gap to escape from the body of the alchemist, and was not even burned to death.

Chiyan is so big, looking for a bug is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Zheng Wu suddenly asked: "Is that the medicine valley where you told me that there are many medicinal herbs?"

Yue Lianlou: "Exactly."

Zheng Wu turned to Mrs. Bei and said, "I've been to the Medicine Valley a few times, and picked herbs to treat his eyes. The edge of the Medicine Valley is full of insect-repelling herbs. The outside insects dare not go in, and the inside insects dare not come out." The Gu mother should have hidden in the hidden place of Medicine Valley, and she is still alive."

These words rekindled hope in Yue Lianlou: "I'll go find it with you!"

"You have to stay here and watch this person." Mrs. Bei said, "The Gu mother can't die in a single blow, and he won't feel better if he suffers from pain and struggle. Zheng Wu goes alone, I'm afraid it's also dangerous. After so long, I don't know Gu Whether the mother has given birth to a new Gu child. The valley is calm, and the Gu insects will not attack people, but if the Gu mother is injured, the Gu children will attack in groups. You are alone, and the mother-in-law is not at ease."

"I have a candidate. He stayed in Medicine Valley for a while, and he is from Qiongzhou, so he is from my hometown. Just that white-faced bandit in Mingye Hall," Zheng Wu said, "Chen...Chen what?"

Chen Shuang sneezed hard.

Ruan Buqi and him were hiding in the bushes outside the Elephant Palace: "Someone scolded you?"

Chen Shuang: "Is that you?"

Ruan Buqi sneered: "I never speak ill of people behind their backs."

Chen Shuang: "..."

Ruan Buqi: "I'll tell you face to face, no one can beat me anyway."

Chen Shuang pointed her finger at her, and the two of them fell silent, watching two elephant envoys carrying lanterns walk by a dozen meters away.

The two hurried all the way away from Tunlongkou, and finally arrived at the Elephant Palace after a few days.To their surprise, unlike in the past, the Elephant Palace is now empty, and none of King Guangren's soldiers have been seen.Waiting for no one around, the two started light kung fu, jumped over the wall and jumped into the elephant palace.

The Elephant Palace is not big, so the two searched separately. After reuniting, Ruan Buqi pointed to a small courtyard on the south side that was shaded by green bamboos: "There are big things there."

Chen Shuang rushed into the small courtyard immediately.There are zigzag pavilions hidden in the bamboo forest, and there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the pavilions and rooms.Chen Shuang recognized Jin Yan's words at a glance: "The little general lives here."

But Jin Yan was nowhere to be found.The two searched the room and found that the clothes and utensils were still there.Chen Shuang's heart sank, and suddenly she heard footsteps in the bamboo forest.The two immediately climbed up to the beams of the house and hid themselves close together like geckos.Someone pushed the door and entered, it was the two envoys who had just met outside the elephant palace.

Chen Shuang could barely understand a few words.Feng Xiangshi is a pair of brother and sister. The two entered the room and cleaned it carefully, folded Jin Yan's clothes, and put fresh fruits and refreshments on the table.When the two left, Chen Shuang turned to Ruan Buqi, who was hanging upside down and closed his eyes, and said, "They said that the little general is coming soon."

Outside the elephant palace, the convoy had just stopped.

Jin Yan and King Guangren went to Chiyan Palace this time and stayed for several days before returning.One is because King Guangren was retained by King Chiyan and Princess Chiyan, and the other is that Princess Chiyan liked Jin Yan very much after seeing him and allowed him to stay with Cen Jingshu in the palace for a few more days.On the way back, Jin Yan didn't say much. In fact, he just left his mother and started to miss her again.

He told Cen Jingshu about Bai Ni and You Junshan, about He Lansone, about Zhu Ye and Zhuo Zhuo, about the long and short year he stayed in Beirong.There are too many things to talk about, and Jin Yan just feels that the time is still passing too fast.

This meeting made a thought that was wavering in his heart become as unshakable as a rock: when he leaves Chiyan, he must take his mother with him.

King Guangren got off the car with him outside the gate of the Elephant Palace. As soon as he got out of the car, soldiers came up and handed him a bunch of booklets, all of which needed to be reviewed by Song Huaizhang.Knowing that he was actually busy with military affairs, Jin Yan bid farewell to him and took a few people to his yard.Passing by the elephant station, I saw more than a dozen elephant envoys waiting under the wall outside the door.

"Yanhan, Yujiang?" Jin Yan waved at the siblings, "What's wrong? Something happened to the holy elephant?"

"The alchemist came to see the holy elephant." Yanhan said, "We can't go in."

It was only then that Jin Yan heard a heavy wheezing sound from the elephant house, it was the holy elephant moaning.His heart tightened tightly: "Let the holy elephant eat Guzi again?"

The elephant has a huge body and needs to replenish Gu Zi regularly, so the alchemist will also come to the elephant palace regularly.Jin Yan didn't know it before, so he never saw it.Yanhan and Yujiang told it that in order to prevent the elephant from suffering and struggling, they would tie up the elephant's limbs and put it on the ground, and seal the elephant's mouth with a cloth net, leaving only the gnats to feed. The place.All the elephants in the Elephant Palace recognize the alchemist, and when they see the alchemist approaching, they start to struggle wildly, and even attack the alchemist. "But it will become obedient soon." Yu Jiang rubbed her fingers, turning her head frequently, "They are very afraid of pain."

Who would not be afraid of pain?Jin Yan couldn't bear it, turned his head and left.Yu Jiang chased him and told him that the room had been packed for him.Jin Yan turned his head and asked: "When the holy elephant hurts, won't the envoy feel sad?"

Yu Jiang trembled, subconsciously looking left and right.

"No...don't dare to be sad." She shrugged her shoulders, "Just get over this pain."

Jin Yan walked two steps and suddenly turned back. "Yu Jiang, is the Yin-Yang Gu only used to control sacred elephants?"

Yu Jiang's eyes widened: "Elephants can be eaten, and humans can be eaten too."

Jin Yan caught a flicker of panic in her eyes, and his heart lighted up instantly, and he quickly grabbed Yu Jiang's shoulder: "...Yu Jiang, has the envoy also eaten Gu Zi?"

Yu Jiang's knees softened, and she knelt down in front of Jin Yan with her head bowed, not daring to say a word.Jin Yan helped her up and found that she was trembling badly. "Yu Jiang, when did it happen?"

"...When I was young, when I first came to the Elephant Palace." Yu Jiang carefully held Jin Yan's fingers, unable to stand still because of fear, and begged, "Please don't tell me, little general, this is something that cannot be told to anyone... ..."

The alchemist catches the strong, and also likes to catch the young children, both of them are their drug slaves.It's just that the Yin-Yang Gu is too toxic and the pain is too severe. The alchemists are afraid of wasting the lives of children, so they generally don't let children eat Yin-Yang Gu, and only use them to test other medicines.But the imagery is different.Envoys entrusting elephants are not human beings or slaves in Chiyan, but an object that accompanies sacred elephants.

After being confirmed by the royal family as an elephant envoy, the child will be taken to the elephant palace to eat the Yin-Yang Gu.During the long torment, the mahouts recognized their own destiny: they will live when the majesty is born, and they will die when the majesty dies. They will dedicate everything to the majesty, including their lives.

Jin Yan squatted in front of her and wiped away her tears. "Does it hurt now?"

"It's gone now." Yu Jiang smiled quickly, "The Elephant Envoy has other functions, and can't always carry Guzi in the body."

"...What effect?"

Yu Jiang was stunned.She glanced at Jin Yan, quickly lowered her head, and whispered after a long while: "We sometimes go to the palace, to... to serve the king and his guests."

Without saying a word, Jin Yan plucked half a leaf from her hair.

It wasn't until this moment that he really understood why sisters Ruihuo and Ruicao from Liang Jing Chunfeng Chunyu Building would rather hang out in Firework Lane than return to Chiyan.They fear the fate of death.The so-called Holy Elephants and Elephant Envoys are just similar things. If they need to be obedient, let them eat Gu Zi; if they need their bodies to be kept clean for the Master to enjoy, then let them escape the pain of Yin-Yang Gu.

"...I thought that once a Gu was eaten, it would never be able to get rid of it." Jin Yan said, "So Gu can be killed?"

"The Gu mother must be killed first." Yu Jiang lowered her voice, "The Gu mother will always be hidden on the alchemist's body. Only when the Gu mother dies will the Gu child die."

The elephant's door suddenly opened.Several skinny men in black came out quietly. The leader was old and hunchbacked. He was different from the others. He wore black shoes in addition to black clothes, a heavy black hat on his head, and a blood-red belt around his waist.The surroundings were silent for a while, Yu Jiang hurriedly pulled Jin Yan aside, and quickly knelt down by herself.

The alchemist left without saying a word.They strode past Jin Yan, like a gust of wind that smelled like nausea.

Jin Yan is preparing for something...
