Daily life in the era of Reiki

Miao Sheng took out the net cage for catching insects from his luggage, and walked to the direction indicated by the gold. Sure enough, there were many fireflies dormant in the grass. The males and females were easy to distinguish. He picked some larger females. Insects, directing them to crawl into the cage by themselves.

After collecting [-], Miao Sheng stopped. The wild population of fireflies is very rare, and it is better to let them breed in the natural environment. He always feels that the method of refining Gu by wizards is harmful to the world, and it is still rare. Do some evil.

After putting away the cages, Miao Sheng completed the most important task of entering the forest, and only then did he have the leisure to observe other species in the valley.

Sitting on the black boulder, I summoned a butterfly to stop at my fingertips and admire it carefully. Its wings are translucent, with a touch of water green, stretched behind it like a fairy's floor-length skirt, and six black stripes outline the whole body. The outline of a butterfly wing adds a bit of thickness and grandeur to the fairy air.

Miao Sheng had never seen such a beautiful butterfly. He was fascinated by the uncanny workmanship of nature for a while. He didn't let the little one fly to join his companions until he rubbed his hands nervously after being stared at for too long.

In addition to beautiful butterflies and fireflies, there are many kinds of dragonflies and other insects in the valley. In the bamboo forest in the west, there are a few bamboo rats and cats who dare not show their heads in the cave. The area is covered in shade. If you can build a tree house on it, it will definitely be cool and comfortable to live here in summer.

In the middle is a large flat green space, with colorful wildflowers, bringing lively and rich colors to the valley full of green plants.

The more Miao Sheng looked at it, the more he liked it. He released a ray of spiritual consciousness, controlled a dragonfly to fly high into the sky, and used its vision to look at the valley. He found that it was closer to Xishui Town at the foot of the mountain than Xitu Village. The foot of the mountain is the open water next to a certain courier company.

If the entire mountain can be contracted out, will it be possible to enjoy such a beautiful valley to itself in the future?

Miao Sheng feels that she is a bit greedy, but this wish can also be fulfilled as a long-term goal. After all, there is always a dream, and it may come true at some point.

But even if you can’t cover mountains, it’s good to use this place as a secret base in the future. There are water, trees, and bamboo forests here, and you can live with a vegetable field. Come here a few more times in the future to get familiar with the road, and it won’t be like the first time. It took a lot of effort.

The more Miao Sheng thought about it, the more he felt that except for the lack of houses, everything here was better than the village, but the problem of houses could be solved with tents, or he could just build a tree house in one step.

For such a big banyan tree, the main pole in the center is as thick as a dozen people hugging each other, and the outstretched branches and aerial roots form a large forest. Let alone building a tree house, it is not a problem to build a luxury house on the tree.

There is no shortage of wood here, at least not bamboo. The only problem is his skill in building houses.

Miao Sheng stretched out a pair of chubby hands in front of his eyes. He didn't know when he would be old enough to build a house by himself. Anyway, with his current ability, he didn't even think about it.

Putting away unrealistic thoughts, Miao Sheng spread out the plastic sheet he brought, lay down under the banyan tree to finish the sandwiches and snacks he brought over, and filled a pot of spring water before leaving, and then rode back to the bamboo forest with saponins middle.

On the return journey, Zaojiao obviously relaxed a lot. Although the road in the forest is still difficult to walk, as long as there is a route to pass through, it can handle it, and it has also found good drinking water and delicious grass. For a sheep, what else? It is happier than eating and drinking.

Miao Sheng has already classified the valley as his territory. Although he has no objection to Zaojiao going to the valley to play, he also has requirements for visitors. The most important thing is that he can't hum and scream anywhere, and must go to the designated place. If you dare to dirty the pool, you need it to look good.

As a mutton sheep whose life safety is always threatened, Zaojiao's ability to save life is first-rate, and he nodded desperately to express that he would definitely abide by the regulations, not even a single grass in the valley would be dirty.

Seeing that the threat worked, Miao Sheng took the net cage back to work with satisfaction, and after her mother-in-law expressed her approval, she put the female firefly in the bamboo forest and made a large plate of honey water for the new guests.

Then the orange-yellow light spots shone in the bamboo forest for another week, and then suddenly disappeared collectively one night. The next day, Miao Sheng found the corpses of fireflies and the dead bodies behind the grass leaves in the bamboo forest without any surprise Pieces of eggs.

Looking at the dead fireflies in his hands, Miao Sheng felt a little complicated. In order to reproduce, the price these insects paid was too high. Compared with their own lives, is the next generation really that important?

The mother-in-law and grandma Zhang often feel sorry for their lack of children, and their old age is bleak, but those who have children may not be able to enjoy the family happiness of their children and grandchildren in their later years. After all, as long as there are people, there are always disputes.

Miao Sheng prefers to be alone, with a paintbrush, a good book and a cup of clear tea, watching the changing seasons outside the window, dancing with rain and snow, three meals for four seasons, quiet and calm, that is the life he likes.

Shaking his head to shake off what was there in his mind, Miao Sheng collected most of the eggs into a clay pot, leaving only a small part, allowing them to multiply freely in the bamboo forest.

Afterwards, according to the list given by her mother-in-law, Miao Sheng went to the medicine cabinet to select the required medicinal materials, and then refined them into a secret witchcraft that could ripen insect eggs.All of this needs to be done by him alone. After all, it is refining his own Gu worms, so it is better for others not to participate at all.

Miao Sheng grinned as he looked at the list in his hand, centipedes, scorpions, dinggong vines, and poisonous medicinal materials accounted for most of them, and he didn't know what they could produce.

Although these insect eggs may not survive to adulthood in the natural environment, they can die in this way, Miao Sheng still feels a little sorry for these little creatures.

But it is impossible for him to give up refining Gu. It is rare that his mother-in-law is willing to teach him. After passing this village, there will be no such shop, and there are a group of Gu insects like small lanterns. How cute and majestic, they have reached this point , Those who give up are fools.

Perhaps human beings are cruel animals, which meat we eat every day is not life, there is really no need to be too lofty.Having found an excuse for himself to feel at ease, Miao Sheng enthusiastically devoted himself to the great cause of refining Gu.

There is no difficulty in refining witchcraft, as long as the ingredients are matched, add three bowls of water, first boil on high heat, then boil on low heat until half a bowl of water is ready.

Ten days after being soaked in witch medicine, the first batch of larvae were born. Miao Sheng could clearly feel that their souls were different. Compared with ordinary insects, they were not only faint but also dim, but the frequency of fluctuations was much faster, as if It seems that they are burning their life energy every minute and every second.

Picking the first hatched larvae into a new clay pot, Miao Sheng couldn't help but soften his heart a bit, and put a little minced meat on them, at least while waiting for the other larvae to hatch, they wouldn't have to starve.

After waiting for another day, the hatching rate of the eggs did not even reach half, but the mother-in-law stopped and threw the clay pot into the fire and burned it. waste time.

During this day, Miao Sheng had already refined the witch medicine that could arouse the viciousness of the larvae. He first secretly put some minced meat as a meal for decapitation, and waited a while before throwing the witch medicine in.

In the spiritual consciousness, the larvae who had just buried their heads in eating minced meat suddenly stopped eating, and the fluctuations of their souls gradually became more intense, changing from the original grayness to a dark red light.

The larvae first crawled around in the restless clay pot, and collisions were inevitable during the crawling process, and when they collided, they all began to bite without exception.

The melee of the larvae in the clay pot lasted intermittently for seven days. When the larvae were tired, they devoured the failed ones, and when they had enough rest, they fought again.To Miao Sheng's surprise, every time they ate a corpse of the same kind, their souls would become stronger. The more they ate, the stronger their souls would be.

The refining time of Gu insects is a multiple of nine, like the golden silkworm Gu that has been fought in clay pots for ninety-nine and 81 days, and only those who survive in the end are eligible to be called the king of Gu insects.

As for ordinary Gu worms like fireflies, it only takes nine days.When the can was opened on the ninth day, a total of sixteen larvae survived, and their soul strength was already stronger than that of ordinary insects.

Miao Sheng moved the larvae into a clean pottery pot, swung a knife to let the blood out, and after the sixteen larvae sucked his blood, Miao Sheng began to chant the ancient witch mantra.

The child's voice is crisp and sweet, much better than the rough tone of the mother-in-law. He can clearly feel that the rhythm of the mantra is gradually synchronized with the fluctuation of his own soul, and then the souls of sixteen Gu insects are also added to the tone of the same frequency. In the middle, until the two sides reached an agreement, Miao Sheng suddenly sensed the thoughts of sixteen Gu worms.

Surrender, and... hungry!

Miao Sheng's incantation almost stopped his anger. After spending so much effort, he finally got sixteen foodies, so he can find someone to reason with.

After the first incantation, he was able to communicate with the Gu worms very smoothly. Miao Sheng can understand their bad tempers. After all, they survived the bloody battle. If they have a good temper, they would die long ago. It turned up, but the bottomless appetite made him scratch his head.

Added minced meat six times in one day, and even got quarreled in the middle of the night to add supper, Miao Sheng was convinced by this group of Gu worms.He tried to fill it up once, enough to feed the whole day, but they didn't appreciate it at all. Whether the minced meat was dirty or slightly spoiled, they refused to touch it again, clamoring for fresh food.

He made the worms by himself, and he had to bear it to the end. He just hoped that they would pupate quickly, and stop making such a fuss when they grew into real fireflies.

Through the domestication of mantras every day, Miao Sheng also gradually realized the reason why the art of witchcraft can be passed down even in the period when there is no spiritual energy.

The key lies in the mantra, chanting the mantra can not only change the fluctuation of one's own soul, but also synchronize with the soul of the Gu insect, and then establish a connection.

The mother-in-law is an ordinary person, her soul fluctuations are not obvious, but Miao Sheng's soul power is so powerful that even he himself can only use a small part of it, so the effect of the mantra he read is very obvious.

It only took a few days, and the sixteen Gu worms have been domesticated to be as cute as kittens. They can complete various actions according to Miao Sheng's instructions, and they will only be disobedient when they are hungry. There is no way to do this.

After suffering for more than ten days, he was finally relieved when the mouthparts of the Gu worms became sharper. He only needs to provide a piece of chicken or duck leg meat for three meals a day. Dirty enough for them to gnaw for a long time before the world finally calmed down.

Miao Sheng was free, and her mother-in-law's schoolwork began to intensify again.

After finding out that the homework she assigned couldn't help Miao Sheng at all, she also added the study of Miao language. Medical knowledge is no longer just for Miao Sheng to learn whatever she does, and additional books that need to be recited are added, not only He wants to learn witch doctor, even Chinese medicine is on the agenda.

What can Miao Sheng do? Youdao is under the eaves of others and has to bow his head. He has to be a good student seriously and work hard to complete his homework.
