In fact, not only Hu Yueping thought this was a big bargain, but even the old man thought so too.
That golden silkworm Gu has been running rampant in the village since the death of its master. Not to mention bringing wealth, if anyone in the village disobeys its wishes, it will take away their lives!
There are only a few dozen households in the village. If any household wants to raise Gu, they must first ask the Golden Silkworm for permission. If the Golden Silkworm does not allow it, the Gu will not be able to survive.
So, after struggling like this for several years, the only people still raising Gu in the village were the three families just now.
Although it is possible to marry the Golden Silkworm, no one in the three households can conquer it with their voodoo skills.
Therefore, over the years, not only have the lives of the people in the village not improved, their lives are as tight as before, and they even have to worry about it every day, for fear that they will anger the Golden Silkworm Empress if they are not careful!
If we can take the opportunity to marry the golden silkworm to this Han man this time... it can be regarded as giving away a giant Buddha.
Seeing that Hu Yueping remained silent, the old man thought that he had some scruples, and immediately said: "Little baby, if you are willing to marry the Golden Silkworm Empress, I will definitely ask the entire Miao village to pool their money and prepare a generous dowry!"
Hearing this, Hu Yueping felt even more happy.
Even if you give him a rare and top-grade Gu insect for free, you also have to pay him a sum of money!
He simply couldn't believe that he would encounter such a good thing!
Not to mention that this Golden Silkworm Gu can make him rich, the rarity of this Golden Silkworm Gu is enough to make him lose face in front of his grandfather!
It is no exaggeration to say that Golden Silkworm Gu can definitely be ranked among the top few in the Miao Territory Hundred Thousand Mountains!
Although he had heard the old man talk about some cruel practices of raising golden silkworm Gu last night, those things were of no importance to him.
Doesn’t it mean that one person needs to be poisoned to death every year as a sacrifice?
Simple!
There are a lot of paupers on the streets who can't afford to eat. It won't be enough to just pick one of them to take advantage of them.
Thinking of this, although Hu Yueping was so happy that he almost shed tears, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "This... golden silkworm Gu is not something that ordinary people can raise!"
"Besides, don't you all know its whereabouts? If you can't even see the shadow of the Gu insect, how can you talk about surrendering? Alas..."
Hearing the concession in Hu Yueping's words, the old man's face lit up with joy, and he patted his chest and promised: "Little baby, don't worry about this. You first take the Gu insects from Bai Laoba's family and escort your friend on his way."
"As for me, I will set up a table of sacrifices with the people in the village and ask the Golden Cannabis Empress to come out and talk. If the Jincan Empress nods and agrees, when you come back from your work, you can come directly to the village to pick her up.
Just go!”
Hu Yueping raised his eyebrows and sneered in his heart, "Let's talk to Golden Silkworm Gu? Humph, this damn old man should have a certain degree of mystique, right?"
It’s enough to just say that you are looking for poisonous insects, but you have to describe it in such a eloquent way...
It's as if that golden silkworm Gu really understands human speech!
No wonder Chi Hong was fooled by him last night. For people who don't understand the art of voodoo, these mysterious and dangerous things are indeed a bit scary.
"Okay, then after you find the golden silkworm Gu, the first thing you do is clean up the stilted building and then enshrine it."
"In addition, every golden day from now on, the golden silkworms will poop out. The feces will be white, a bit like bird droppings. When the time comes, you can scrape it off with wood chips and store it for me!"
"What is Golden Sun?" Chi Hong asked curiously.
Hu Yueping deliberately showed off his knowledge in front of Chi Hong, and shook his head and explained: "In our Chinese calendar, A, B, B, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui are called 'ten'
Heavenly stem'."
"Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai are called the 'Twelve Earthly Branches'. The two cooperate with each other in a fixed order to form the Ganzhi discipline."
"Among the ten heavenly stems, Geng and Xin belong to gold, so that day is a gold day."
Hearing what Hu Yueping said so eloquently, the old man couldn't help but stretched out his thumb and praised: "Little baby, I didn't expect you to have such achievements at such a young age. It's not easy!"
"No one in our village can conquer her. If the Golden Silkworm Empress marries you, she will find a good home."
Hu Yueping raised his chin proudly and was very impressed by what the old man said.
Chi Hong looked at him with a little more admiration: "Xiao Hu, are you really going to take that vicious Gu insect..."
"Of course, after I bring the Golden Silkworm Gu back to Zhongyang and let my grandfather study it carefully, it's hard to say that I can raise another one!"
Hearing this, Chi Hong couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
If Hu Qingshi was really that powerful, then why was the Iron Heart Worm he worked so hard to raise described as a third-rate Gu Worm by his master's friends?
Moreover, Hu Qingshi's reputation in Miao territory does not seem to be as famous as he boasted.
But if Hu Qingshi doesn't have any skills, his grandson Hu Yueping seems to be very good at poisonous insects.
There were Gu insects that no one in the village could conquer, but he had the courage to conquer them.
This made Chi Hong a little confused. He really had no idea about the Hu family's voodoo skills.
After the negotiation, the old man brought a bamboo tube from a house as promised, handed it to Hu Yueping solemnly, and said: "Little boy, you have to be careful with this poison..."
Hu Yueping took the bamboo tube, closed his eyes and felt the evil spirit inside for a moment, and immediately made a "tsk" sound and curled his lips.
It's just a very low-quality scorpion Gu, nothing to make a fuss about.
"Okay, okay, I understand. Remember what you promised me. After you find the golden silkworm Gu, you must clean the stilted building. That bug likes clean places. I will come back and take it away when the time comes.
."
The old man responded repeatedly.
After Hu Yueping and Chi Hong came out of the Miao village, they saw Xiao Yun and another Miao man sitting on a big rock outside.
The group of people set off again, without talking all the way.
In the afternoon, it really started to rain lightly. The mountain road was a little slippery and not easy to walk on, so a few people found a cave to stop first.
Chi Hong took out a very small heater from his backpack. After putting it away, he took out a thin nylon rope, took off the wet clothes and dried them on it.
Because the surrounding branches were wet from the rain, it was impossible to light a fire. Hu Yueping was shivering from the cold and cursed: "The weather in this mountain is too strange. It will change if it changes!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yun walked out of the cave without making a sound.
"Hey Master, where are you going? It's still raining outside!" Chi Hong quickly stood up and wanted to follow him out.
Hu Yueping grabbed him and said in a strange tone: "Master Chi, what if someone just wants to go out to the toilet? After all, lazy people pee a lot... Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you followed him?"
After being stopped by Hu Yueping, Xiao Yun could no longer be seen outside the cave.
Because Chi Hong was worried about Xiao Yun, he didn't pay attention to Hu Yueping's tone. He hurriedly chased him to the entrance of the cave. When he saw the rain outside, he couldn't tell the direction at all.
Thinking that he was not familiar with the mountains and might get lost if he ran around, Chi Hong had no choice but to give up the idea of following him.
