Chapter 270 Dove occupying the magpie's nest
He Shou clearly saw what that little velvet chicken was.

Holding the little velvet chicken in my hand, I didn't feel any turmoil in my heart: "This looks like a chicken?"

A Gu family next to him carefully put the little velvet chicken in a basket for clothes.

He Shou just chuckled lightly: "Gu Yushi..."

Seeing the Gu family all around him, he hurriedly changed his words: "Patriarch Gu is very thoughtful, how could he take two eggs casually and ask you to ask for rice. It looks like a chicken, but it is obviously a cuckoo inside!"

When he said this, he took a special look at Yu Xinhe.

He smiled deeply at me and said: "The head of the Gu family must have used some kind of blinding method or some magic to make this newly hatched cuckoo and its eggs look like chickens. But I don't believe it. Lord Snake can't see it. come out."

I feel a little sour in my heart. Each of these people is planning more deeply than anyone else.

One by one saw it, and pretended not to see it, I was the only one who was deceived in the dark.

No wonder, Gu Yushi never said "egg", just "egg".

And it is just used to ask about the present and future of Bashan.

In ancient Shu mythology, it is said that the cuckoo bird was transformed by Emperor Wang Du Yu.

That's why there are poems like "Looking at the emperor's spring heart and entrusting it to the cuckoo" and "The cuckoo crows and the bloody ape cries".

It's just that when He Shou said this, he kept looking at Yu Xinhe, which probably meant what he was referring to.

Yu Xinhe has a peaceful temperament, but when talking about the Yu family's move out of Bashan, he also sternly pointed out to Gu Fengchun that manipulating snakes at home is the lineage of Bashan gods.

It can be seen that the Gu family stayed in Bashan, just like the cuckoo, the doves occupy the magpie's nest.

I also didn't understand for a while, why Gu Yushi, asking for a meter, went to such great lengths to use a cuckoo egg with a bad meaning?
Is this scolding myself secretly, or is there some other arrangement or allusion?
I can't figure it out, and I don't intend to think about it.

These people are really good at doing things, and they really have nine ways and eighteen bends.

I reached out to untie Mo Xiu's robe, and the girl from the Gu family next to me immediately planned to come and pick her up.

"No need." This is Mo Xiu's robe after all, so it's better not to be touched by outsiders.

I hugged the robe, thought for a while, and took a bucket of water myself, planning to wash it too.

But as soon as the water touched the outer robe, the outer robe turned into a black shadow and disappeared immediately.

I hurriedly reached out to grab it, but I couldn't catch it.

"Ha! Hey, you also said that you are enlightened. You are so stupid. Without Mo Xiu, when you returned to Longcun, you probably wouldn't survive even one night." He Shou will turn into a turtle and let others give him Rinse the white turtle shell.

Said in a deep voice: "It was Moxiu's skin. When he left, he didn't take it away. He was afraid that something would happen to you, so he kept it to protect you. But once you take it off, the original owner is not around, so the skin can't help you." run back?"

"But doesn't Moxiu have a snake body?" I'm not used to being served, so I poured water on my body by myself.

Not to mention, pouring cold water on your body in this winter, the feeling is really...exciting.

I definitely couldn't stand it before.

But in the past half a year, in Moxiu's Yin-Yang pool, people come and go, soaked too much, but I'm still used to it.

He Shou is now enjoying the shackles: "It's true that I am a snake shadow, but I am also a snake king. You are just..."

When he said this, he seemed to be stuck, and his head shrank into the turtle shell.

When he poked it out again, he seemed to be afraid of the cold, so he said instigatingly: "I'm going to have a party first. Is this shell white now? I'm afraid that my good black turtle will become the first white turtle since the beginning of the world." "

When he said this, he seemed to be very excited again.

He turned his head and looked at me: "Oh! Please help me see if white turtles are more rare? Then can I become a species on my own?"

Then he stopped turning into a turtle, and went directly to the cave where Gu Jianming changed clothes: "I'll ask, if albino doesn't wash off, will he live longer. Is this considered a mutation?"

He walked a few steps, then looked at me again: "Don't be stupid. Moxiu saw that it was a cuckoo, so he didn't tell you. It's really for your own good!"

"Think about it, you were quite grateful to Gu Yushi at that time. Then Mo Xiu told her that she had been plotting against you, how uncomfortable you were." He Shou instantly became a master of emotion again.

I nodded and said: "He is a son-in-law, and he gets along so well with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, that is, your parents. Doesn't this promote the harmony of your big family? When you think about it this way, you will feel more comfortable, right? "

He explained it like this.

That is to say, while shaking his head to the side.

The meaning couldn't be more clear, this is Bashan, we have to pay attention.

I was a little bit dumbfounded, and smiled lightly at He Shou: "Got it."

"I'm a big brother, for you, I really have to worry about it, and I'll always run the risk of being crushed." He Shou sighed, and then went in.

The girl from the Gu family next to me didn't seem to hear it at all, but just helped me carry two buckets of water over.

I took a ladle and poured ladles of cold water over my head.

The snake cave is not in this direction, so it is impossible to see it from here.

The clear water poured from head to toe, and nothing white washed down.

I opened my eyes and watched the water rushing down from my forehead.

Looking at the little down chicken beating in the basket, my heart gradually became cold.

It is rumored that Emperor Wang loved the people like a son. During his reign, a floating corpse floated up the current. After the Shu people rescued him, this person said that he was called Bie Ling.

Because he was good at controlling floods, he became a hero of the Shu Kingdom. However, while Turtle Ling was out controlling floods, Emperor Wang actually had an affair with Turtle Ling's wife.

After being discovered by Bieling, Emperor Wang gave the throne to Bieling, who lived alone in Xishan and turned into a cuckoo bird.

But day and night weeping, weeping blood.

But there are also rumors that during the reign of Bie Ling, the people were in dire straits, and Emperor Wang mourned for his people, and that's why he wept blood.

In the middle, there is also a forbidden love, which also involves the inheritance of the throne of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

The matter with Long Ling's mother and the snake, although not similar, is similar.

The cuckoo crows blood, looking forward to the emperor's spring heart.What did Gu Yushi want to say?At that time, there were only her and me on Motian Ridge, and Moxiu who was hiding in the dark, so what can't be said clearly?

I rinsed my body again and again until I was really cool.

The girl from the Gu family took a basket of clothes and took me to the cave inside to change clothes.

The clothes that came out of the snake cave will also be taken out and burned.

The cave relies on water, but it is not very humid.

But when I entered the innermost part of the cave, I discovered that there was actually a thin stream of water falling on the stone wall of the cave, rushing under the wall, forming a small pool.

The pool was very small, only as big as a footbath, but when the water was full, it didn't overflow and turbulent, but flowed away from the secret passage under the stone wall.

I looked at the full pool of water and couldn't help but frown.

He raised his eyes and looked at the top of the cave. It was quite dry.

Only the mountain wall has water seeping down, which seems a bit strange.

In a blink of an eye, I looked at the girl from the Gu family who was helping me take out my clothes, and pointed at the water on the mountain wall: "Did you use magic to gather water?"

"Yes." The girl from the Gu family smiled very plainly.

He directly scooped two ladles of water from the small pool and put them in a wooden basin, and handed them to me: "Bashan is vast, and the ancestors lived near the mountains. Sometimes the water source is far away, and it is inconvenient to use water."

"So our ancestors had the technique of collecting water. When they dug the cave, they carved it on the stone wall near the inside, so that the water could be gathered into a pool for convenient use." The girl from the Gu family put the basin next to me.

He pointed to the side and said: "If you feel that the moisture here is too heavy, there is a bedroom inside. You can take the basin and scrub it before changing clothes. It may be more comfortable."

I took a serious look and saw that the whole cave was just inside, and there were no other doors at all.

The girl from the Gu family smiled happily, walked to the middle of the cave, and stretched out her hand to draw on the cave like a snake.

I saw the rock wall on the cave, swaying like water waves, but what was exposed was a straw curtain with the same color as the rock wall.

"Please!" The girl from the Gu family smiled solemnly, feeling somewhat complacent: "In the past, our ancestors lived in caves, and sometimes they used these techniques to cover people's ears and eyes."

I looked at the straw curtain, and then at the small pool on the innermost side.

Taking a slight breath, he looked at the girl from the Gu family and said, "The ancient Shu has a long history, and Motian Ridge must have been a place for sacrifices before, right?"

"Yes." The girl from the Gu family helped me roll up the straw curtain and said with a chuckle: "In the past, Motian Ridge was a holy land and ordinary people were not allowed to approach it. Now, there is no longer any talk of gods, so we can approach it."

"Then this cave used to be used by the head of the family, priests and others?" I took my clothes and walked in.

After thinking for a while, he said, "In the past, what would you use to sacrifice gods?"

The girl from the Gu family seemed to be stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she said, "We haven't offered sacrifices to gods for a long time, but according to the records in ancient books, it should be bronze mirrors, jade discs, and utensils made by Baimao. Why are you so sudden?" Ask this?"

"Thinking about Patriarch Gu's funeral, we should also express something, so I asked a question." My heart slowly turned cold.

Although this cave is small, it looks similar to the cave where Mo Xiu lived.

Moreover, in the only room with a bed, those bronze mirrors and jade discs placed there were probably sacrificed by Gu Shu.

The cave where Mo Xiu lives may not belong to Mo Xiu at all, but the place where Long Ling lived before.
