in some cave
Li Ya was shocked and said: "Susu, what did you say? What I ate were insect eggs?!" She took the initiative to let go of Jiang Su's hand, and hurriedly supported the cave wall and bent down, pretending to grab her own throat.
"Ugh, ugh~"
"Don't vomit yet. Look where this is." Jiang Su took out a candle dragon lantern and shined it beside him.
She touched the nearby earth spider silk with her hand, "I use the earth exchange talisman. I can use items belonging to others to exchange places with it. Just now we used earth spider eggs to exchange places with the earth spiders here."
Li Ya's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and his voice trembled: "You mean we are in the nest of an earth spider now?" She tugged at the spider silk around her, tore off a piece of her own soap yarn and borrowed the candle dragon lantern. The fire in my heart wanted to burn the spider silk.
Seeing this, Jiang Su quickly protected the candle dragon lantern with his hands, "Don't burn it. It's not a spider's nest. It can only mean that it was here just now. The earth spider's nest is in the soil. This should be a cave." After saying this, he became confused again: " Are you a general afraid of spiders?"
Li Yayu's eyelashes moved slightly, and he sighed and explained: "I'm not afraid of spiders, I just think they're dirty. I just want to go out of the city, not to be a son to spiders..."
Jiang Su said quite casually: "There are no male spiders in the soil spider. Even if you eat the wormwood as a salad, you won't be able to have a son with it.
She still remembers the name "Yi Nan" that Li Ya misses so much.
"You saw it just now. There were no less than a hundred soldiers guarding a side door. Even if you try to escape or dig a hole, you will be discovered."
Li Ya closed his eyes tightly and adjusted his emotions.
"This is this?" Jiang Su carefully shined the light of the candle dragon lantern on the ground in front of him, and what he saw was a pile of bones. Her eyes fell on this place and she looked at it carefully, trying to identify what kind of spiritual beast the thing came from.
"This is...!?!", her face was flushed and her eyes were shining with excitement.
Li Ya was confused when he saw this, so he knelt down and touched the remains in front of him, which were less than three feet long.
Asked: "What is this? Spirit beast bone?"
The bone color of this remains is white, and the structure is extremely weird. In the middle are some extremely long bones growing side by side, some like the wings of birds, but the body is too big for birds. Even he couldn't imagine the original appearance of this spiritual beast in his mind.
Jiang Su held Su Sha in his hand, and when he replied, he was so excited that he trembled. He turned his head and stared at Li Ya, and laughed in a low voice: "Do you believe me when I say these are human bones?"
There was silence in the cave for a while, and the light from the candle dragon lantern in Jiang Su's hand just reflected her bloodless face, with two touches of blue and black dotted under her eyes.
Li Ya swallowed and was stunned for a long time, then he said again: "How could it be?"
At this time, the temperature in the cave was cooler and the wind was blowing. He silently took a step back.
Jiang Su: ...Aren't you quite brave...
Jiang Su pointed at the white bones and continued: "Although its skull, the humerus, ulna and radius of the upper limbs, and the femur, tibia and fibula of the lower limbs are all smaller than those of ordinary people, it is not difficult to see that this is the skeleton of a child. Only it The ribs on the chest and abdomen are too long, a bit like...like the spirit elephant on the southern side of the Eastern Region has the legs of an ant."
"Just now you were talking about spiritual materials. Mortal human bones can be used as medicinal materials. Some bone setting recipes even use human bones, also known as immortal bones, the bones of people who have passed away."
"Originally, I considered whether to put human bones in your Bone Renewal Pill, but then I felt that the effect of the spiritual materials nearby was amazing, so there was no need to add any other medicine to you."
Li Ya frowned slightly when he heard this. He had killed many people on the battlefield in the past, so he had naturally seen a lot of bones.
But he has never seen cannibalism with his own eyes. Nowadays, the people of Jing Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are prosperous. There has long been no such thing as exchanging children for food.
Li Ya seemed to have thought of something and tugged on Jiang Su's sleeves. "Tell me, is it possible that this is a sick child? His limbs are too short and his body can only grow naturally."
Jiang Su frowned slightly and silently calculated in his mind that branch aplasia might be a genetic disease, it might be early stage of dwarfism, or it might be hypothyroidism, but the size of this white bone was too outrageous.
Why does it look so much like the experimental body that transformed humans that I saw in my previous life...
Seeing that Jiang Su didn't answer, Li Ya continued to ask: "Then are there any spiritual materials related to people in my Bone Renewal Pill?"
"There is wine." Jiang Su's eyes were mixed with light and dark, and he looked at Li Ya like he was staring into the abyss.
Li Ya was a little curious again and continued to ask: "What kind of wine? I always drink with my subordinates on weekdays, but I didn't taste the elixir."
"Yellow wine, reincarnation wine"
Jiang Su held the candle dragon lantern tightly and carefully observed Li Ya's reaction with his peripheral vision.
Hehe, this is what you asked.
"Oh, I have heard a little bit. Some people in the army will drink some when they are injured. What is reincarnation wine?" Li Ya didn't take it to heart. Rice wine is considered military supplies. He ignored the bones and turned around to continue exploring. way out.
The girl's voice was brisk, as if she was discussing the embroidery of the silk handkerchief with her sisters.
"Human urine."
"..."
"Susu, did you speak just now?" Li Ya asked uncertainly with a stiff face.
"Human urine. I said reincarnation wine is the hot urine of street children. Tsk tsk tsk. General Li is a blessed person. He can even take medicine to keep up with the heat." Jiang Su smiled. She was really looking forward to Li Ya's reaction at this moment. .
Li Ya's eyes widened and he froze on the spot. After a short while, he turned around and continued to hold on to the wall to explore the path.
"I've probably had some ear problems lately. I asked Susu to diagnose and treat me again after I left."
Just pretend not to hear, right?
Boring person.
"Out of town tonight." These are the words left on the note. That's why I eagerly carried you out of the city, and now I'm trapped in a cave. It would be a pity to miss the person behind it. "Li Ya shook his head slightly and sighed.
Jiang Su counted his fingers and said: "We are leaving the city. This is a hill in the east between the inner city and the outer city."
The poisoner may appear here...
Li Ya clenched his jaw, and then his muscles tensed up. The two of them walked by candlelight and said no more.
After walking for about a stick of incense, the two walked out of the cave. There is a dense forest outside, there is no road, it should be deep in the mountains. In the cold moonlight, sparse shadows on the ground can be seen swaying.
Li Ya looked around, as if looking for the next way. Jiang Suze suddenly grabbed Li Ya's wrist and dodged to the nearest bush. With a flip of his hand, he extinguished the candle dragon lantern.
Li Ya was puzzled and asked with his eyes.
Jiang Su put his index finger in front of his lips to signal silence, and quickly made a secret gesture to hide himself. The two of them squatted here motionless.
The wind blew the forest leaves, and rustling sounds were heard everywhere.
Just five breaths later, a figure appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the cave.
This man was dressed in black clothes, a black robe, and a black hat. His appearance was hidden in the shadows under the hat, and his body almost blended into the night.
Jiang Su secretly analyzed that this man was tall and his feet were steady and powerful. He appeared out of thin air just now. He should be a monk.
The man in black stepped forward unhurriedly and went straight into the cave. He did not look at the bushes on the side the whole time, so he probably didn't notice anyone.
Li Ya stared at the figure and gait of this man, frowning, as if thinking about who this person was.
Jiang Su was fearless and just thought he was here to eat.
After the man's figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave, Li Yacai lowered his voice and affirmed: "I don't know that man just now."
Jiang Su received the message casually: "You are a high-ranking official with military power. Naturally, your enemies are not bad either. This monk is probably the monk supported by him."
Li Ya narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the cave with a ruthless look in his eyes, and slowly whispered, "But, I didn't bring any of my own monks..."
"..., ten thousand high-grade spiritual stones." Jiang Su met the man's gaze and said without changing his expression.
Li Ya was puzzled, "What?"
Jiang Su explained: "I will accompany you in, and you will have to pay extra."
Who is Li Ya? Jiang Xiaoxian's brainless suggestion. He did not doubt Jiang Su's words at all and said readily: "Okay, I don't need this few spiritual stones, let's go."
Jiang Su immediately stood up with Li Ya, flipped his hands to unlock the invisibility technique, and the two of them went straight to the cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, the two saw the man in black standing not far away. Under the black hat, a pair of shadowy eyes like a vulture stared directly at them.
