Chapter 116 The Sophisticated Enemy

In the twinkling of an eye, it was ten o'clock in the evening, and the whole village became quiet. Tian Sihan led us down the bamboo building and walked along a path paved with gravel to the depths of the village.

This village is very big, wrapping the whole mountain. The mountain here is very gentle, which makes most of the roads in the village not look so steep. However, there are stone steps built in some steep places. The whole village is quiet and beautiful. It's like a fairyland.

The name of this village is Qingshui Village, and the name of the mountain is Qingshui Mountain. The mountain is not high, but it is near the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round. The bamboo buildings in the village have been built above the clouds and mist. We are going to Grandma Wei’s bamboo building this time. , just above the cloud.

Tian Sihan said: "There are not many bamboo buildings above the clouds, but they are all dignitaries in the village. The three wizards we met during the day and Grandma Wei lived on them. There are no ordinary villagers in the village. Those who are qualified to rise above the clouds."

I said "Oh" and said, "The class division in this village is so serious."

Tian Sihan said with a smile: "It's much better. In the past, ordinary villagers were almost like slaves. Now they are at least free."

Walking all the way up the mountain along the gravel path, occasionally passing some steps, is also pleasant.

After walking for about 20 minutes, we passed the cloud and went up to the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is flat, and there are more than a dozen bamboo buildings built there. Lanterns are hung outside each bamboo building. The lanterns sway slightly when the breeze blows.

Tian Sihan led us to stop in front of a bamboo building. The bamboo buildings above are similar, but this bamboo building is hung with countless bamboo tubes besides lanterns. The breeze blows and the bamboo tubes collide gently. , making a soft collision sound of "da da da", which makes people feel calm after hearing it.

Tian Sihan said: "This is Grandma Wei's bamboo building. Each of these bamboo tubes contains Gu, so don't touch them just out of curiosity, or you may lose your life."

I nodded to Tian Sihan.

At this time, the snacks in my body have just advanced, and are still in the stage of stabilizing their strength, and they don't have much reaction to the nearby Gu.

Nangong Xiong said beside him: "There are so many Gu hanging here, which can be used for defense, but they can also be used as traps. If we are guests in the bamboo building and surrounded by so many big Gu, wouldn't it be a turtle in a urn?" ?”

I was also a little worried when Nangong Xiong said that, so I glanced at Tian Sihan a few times.

Before Tian Sihan could speak, the door on the second floor opened, and Grandma Wei stood at the door and said to us: "The food and drinks are ready, come here quickly, don't worry, this is not a Hongmen banquet."

Tian Sihan took the lead to go up, and Nangong Xiong and I followed behind.

When I entered the room on the second floor, I found that there were more bamboo tubes hanging inside, and all of these bamboo tubes were painted with special runes, which were somewhat similar to those hanging on Grandma Wei's waist. I made a rough estimate, probably It looks like two or three hundred tubes.

There is a four-corner table and four bamboo chairs in the middle of the room.

There was food and two jugs of wine on the table.

After calling us to sit down, Tian Sihan solemnly introduced me and Nangong Xiong to Grandma Wei.

Grandma Wei also smiled and said, "Actually, I recognized you when you first entered the village!"

Recognize me, what does that mean, has she seen me before?
Before I could understand what was going on, Grandma Wei said, "Have you ever been to Xu Shengzun's village?"

The Xu Shengzun he was talking about must be Xu Rui's father, Xu Gaoren.

I nodded and said yes.

Grandma Wei said: "When you went to that stockade last time, I was there, and I happened to see you, and Xu Shengzun even received you in person, so it can be seen that you are their distinguished guest. By the way, the one who was with you that time Where's the girl?"

She was talking about Mai Xiaorou.

When I mentioned Mai Xiaorou, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but I still said: "She has other business, so she didn't come here!"

Grandma Wei said "Oh", she should have seen something from my expression, but she didn't continue to ask about Mai Xiaorou, but said to me: "I was very curious at the time, you are just an ordinary You are just a human being, why does Xu Gao value you so much and even receive you personally!"

"So when you came to this village, I have been paying attention to you, but today, the dragon chant and dragon power came out from your bamboo building, I knew you were not simple, you must have a lot of secrets, and Those secrets are probably why Mr. Xu Gao met you."

Grandma Wei is playing tricks on me.

I didn't answer her, just sat there and listened.

Grandma Wei continued: "And I heard another thing, Mr. Tian will provide you with nearly white white young Gu every day, and in exchange, he will get a drop of Gu insect venom, I am very curious, that is What kind of venom, can you take it out and show me."

I finally understood that what Grandma Wei said earlier was just foreshadowing, the main point is in the back, she also came here for the venom of my dragon worm Gu.

Before I could answer, Tian Sihan said in surprise: "Grandma Wei, with all due respect, I did not tell anyone about my exchange with Chen Yu, so how did you know?"

Grandma Wei said with a smile: "You didn't tell anyone, but you collect hundreds of young white gu from the stockade every day. I'm afraid you can't hide such a big thing?"

Tian Sihan nodded.

Grandma Wei continued: "Every time you take Gu worms to Chen Yu's bamboo building, the bamboo tube is empty when you come out, which means you gave the Gu worms to the people in the bamboo building, and the people in the bamboo building, Nangong girl You don't have Gu Qi on your body, you can't give it to her, so it's only Chen Yu, you are exchanging with him."

"As for why I knew that what you exchanged was venom, that's simple. Don't forget, I have raised more than ten thousand kinds of Gu, and one of my Gu insects is very sensitive to all kinds of toxins, and it will clearly feel the poison. For every toxin on your body, every time you come out of Chen Yu's room, there will be an extra toxin on your body, so I can deduce that what you exchanged with Chen Yu for the toxin is the toxin."

"And those white young Gu disappeared inexplicably when they arrived at Chen Yu, which means that all those white young Gu were fed to his natal Gu, and Gu insects of the same level who can eat hundreds of white young Gu every day, It must not be an ordinary Gu, it should be some rare Gu species!?"

This grandma Wei is also very hot, and she analyzed the matter quite thoroughly in just a few clicks.

Tian Sihan smiled and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Grandma Wei: "You trade with Chen Yu, and I also want to trade with Chen Yu. I don't want anything else, but that kind of poison. As for Bai You The amount of Gu, I will give you twice as much."

The smile on Tian Sihan's face froze a bit, and then stretched his expression unnaturally: "Grandma Wei, you are trying to compete with me for business."

Grandma Wei said, "This is fair competition."

From the analysis of conditions, Grandma Wei's conditions are indeed very attractive, but considering the actual situation, I will not make a deal with her, because Tian Sihan is someone I can trust in my heart, but Grandma Wei is different, I don't trust her she.

Transactions without trust are quite risky.

So I directly refused, Grandma Wei frowned and said, "Three times!"

I shook my head.

Grandma Wei continued: "Four times!"

I shook my head again, Grandma Wei said, "Five times!"

I just shook my head this time and said, "Grandma Wei, it's not about the quantity, but because I don't trust you, so I can't make an exchange with you."

Grandma Wei was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face became sullen, and soon she sneered with an extremely ugly expression: "You are toasting, don't you eat fine wine!"

Tian Sihan immediately said: "Grandma Wei, you also know that Chen Daoyou has something to do with me, Master Xu. You'd better think clearly when you want to move him, and don't regret it in the future."

Grandma Wei smiled and said, "You think too much, what I'm talking about is just fine wine, I don't mean it."

After speaking, Grandma Wei poured me a glass of wine herself and said, "This is the wine brewed by our village itself. Let's taste it."

I was a little afraid to drink it. Tian Sihan said that Grandma Wei is a person who must take revenge. I have completely offended her here. She will not poison or vomit me in the drink, right?

Seeing that I refused to drink Grandma Wei, she became angry again, Tian Sihan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and stuffed it into my hand, saying: "Have a drink, it's okay!"

I just drank it!
The wine was a little sour, and the sourness was also spicy. The combination of the two flavors was not bad.

Afterwards, Grandma Wei barely talked to me. We left after we had almost finished eating. I had no intention of eating, but Tian Sihan kept hinting that I would leave after eating.

When I left Grandma Wei's bamboo building, she said to me: "In a few days, it will be the Gu battle between you and that boy from Wei Li in our village, I wish you good luck."

I nodded.

On the way back, I asked Tian Sihan why he didn't leave at the beginning and insisted on waiting until the meal was over, the meal was too depressing.

Tian Sihan said: "It's still the same sentence, Grandma Wei is stingy, and she will retaliate, so we don't need to offend her for such a trivial matter as eating, but then again, you have done a lot of things to offend her today. I'm afraid life in the village will be difficult."

I said, "Anyway, I don't plan to live here permanently. I will leave in a few days. In fact, if I hadn't made an appointment with Wei Li to fight Gu, I would have left here right now. This village is too depressing!"

Tian Sihan smiled and said nothing.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day before Wei Li and I agreed on the time for fighting Gu!
Tomorrow is not only the day when Wei Li and I will fight Gu, but also the day when the list will be listed on the Hundred Stars list. I don't know if I can be on the list.

And today I got a piece of news from Tian Sihan that Grandma Wei gave Wei Li a powerful Gu and taught him how to control the Gu.

Needless to say, it was Grandma Wei who wanted to use Wei Li to deal with me.
