"After pulling out the silk, I was shocked to discover that the silkworm god wrapped in the giant human-shaped cocoon was clearly a shriveled caterpillar covered with poisonous hairs. It only looked slightly humanoid when wrapped in the cocoon."

"However, there is a piece of long black hair on the back of the shriveled caterpillar's head. If you look at it from a distance, you can easily misunderstand it as a woman with long hair."

"Later, the late king ordered people to cut open the shriveled caterpillar, and saw that it was indeed full of caterpillars from the inside out. He was disappointed and resentful, so he wanted to burn it together with the stripped silk to vent his anger. The ancestors of the Yan family could not bear to see this silk

It turned into ashes in the fire, and after begging for a long time, a piece of the silk was left. It has been passed down as a family heirloom ever since, and I have used it to practice the skill of flying over walls and flying over walls."

"Later, the late king found some documents carved on animal bones in the ancient tomb, which also said that the human-shaped giant cocoon was the Silkworm God."

"It is said that more than 1,400 years ago, there was a unique mulberry forest in the northern wilderness. Later, the mulberry forest experienced a fire. The fire burned for three years, and the tall, branchless and strange mulberry trees were burned.

After all, there are not even one silkworm god left in ten. The only remaining silkworm god left that strange mulberry tree and starved to death without eating or drinking. It has reached the point of being on the verge of extinction..."

"Although my ancestors of the Bai family later read a lot of historical documents to verify this matter, unfortunately, since the Qin Dynasty, the remaining ancient books in the world have been very limited, and we only found records about the Silkworm God in the "Shan Hai Jing"."

"But it's not completely traceable."

"The strange mulberry tree mentioned on the animal bones was also mentioned in the "Book of Mountains and Seas", but it has long since disappeared. The remains of the Silkworm God were seen by the late king and my ancestors from hundreds of families, and many of their characteristics are consistent with "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

The descriptions in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are similar, and the record of the animal bones is not only before the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but also more detailed than the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so it is not difficult to judge whether it is true or false."

"I wonder what you think, Master?"

Having said this, Bai Jingjing finally stopped, looked at Wu Liang intently and asked.

"I think the analysis of the ancestors of the Bai family is well-founded and convincing."

Wu Liang nodded.

To be honest, the historical documents before the Qin Dynasty discovered by later generations are indeed extremely limited. It is obviously impossible to truly understand all the details of the world more than 2,000 years ago, or even longer, through only those limited historical documents.

Furthermore, what is recorded on that animal bone is actually the story of the extinction of two species...

From the perspective of a modern person like Wu Liang, this is nothing strange.

After all, as far as Wu Liang knows, in 2020 alone, according to data from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IU), an authoritative organization on the global species conservation status, 467 species have become completely extinct around the world in the past 10 years.

In addition, many more species are in sharp decline and are on the verge of extinction.

Therefore, the Silkworm God may really be a rare species that has long been extinct, but has been mythologized by "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and some historical allusions.

"But... you first told the truth about the situation of the tomb keeper, and now you mentioned the Silkworm God to me, and specifically mentioned the Silkworm God's Baosi. I'm afraid it's not just to tell me a story, right?"

Wu Liang pushed his buttocks towards Bai Jingjing and asked with a smile, "If I guessed correctly, the Yan family lineage is now extinct, and 80% of the silkworm treasure silk passed down from generation to generation has fallen into the hands of your Bai family. Now,

Are you trying to bribe me with this silkworm treasure silk to achieve an ulterior purpose?"

Bai Jingjing hid aside with a look of disgust, and said sternly: "Although this Silkworm God Silk Silk Silk Treasure Silk is a treasure, it is not something that the late king was buried with. Our Bai family is not good at martial arts, so it is not of much use."

"So, you want to exchange it for the Suihou Pearl?"

Wu Liang raised his eyebrows.

"Based on what I know about you, you must be unwilling. Not only are you unwilling, I'm afraid you're planning to do nothing."

Bai Jingjing rolled her eyes at him and said angrily.

"My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and it is the girl Jingjing who knows me!"

Wu Liang looked like he was sorry to meet him so late.

"Therefore, I have no intention of exchanging Silkworm Treasure Silk for the Suihou Pearl. All I want is a promise from you."

Bai Jingjing looked directly into Wu Liang's eyes and said firmly.

"Miss Bai is really good at judging people. I am the most true to my word. Others promise me a thousand gold, but I promise a thousand gold. Miss Bai, please tell me!"

Wu Liang straightened up immediately and smiled from ear to ear.

"I want you to promise that if one day you cannot keep the Suihou Pearl, or if you are on your deathbed, you will return the Suihou Pearl to the Bai family and teach me, the Bai family, to return it to its original owner."

Bai Jingjing said word for word.

"Okay, I promise you, where are you hiding the Silkworm God's Silkworm Silk?"

Wu Liang had already gone around behind Bai Jingjing and looked up and down. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find any place to hide anything. He actually looked at Bai Jingjing's lower body with a shocked look on his face.

"besides!"

Bai Jingjing ignored him and continued, "From today on, I am the follower of Zhu sent by the Bai family. Wherever Sui Hou Zhu goes, I will follow him until the day you fulfill your promise!"

"Miss Bai, I don't think this is necessary, right? You are still young and have a lot of time. Why don't you find a good husband, husband and child and live a comfortable life for a few years? Why waste your life for a small bead?

?”

Wu Liang raised his head and asked, "Don't worry, when I really can't keep Suihou Zhu, I will definitely send it back to you."

"Daughters of the Bai family never marry. This is the ancestral motto of the Bai family."

Bai Jingjing said expressionlessly.

"No, have you ever heard of a saying that goes, 'Good people don't live long, evil people live for thousands of years.' For a person like me, you can't survive me, and you will definitely die before me."

Wu Liang frowned.

"You know yourself somewhat, but the Bai family will send a new follower to replace me when the time comes, so you won't have to worry about it."

Bai Jingjing said.

"Is it worth it for you?"

Wu Liang finally became serious.

"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not. This is the life of the Bai family and my life."

Bai Jingjing no longer looked at him, turned around and walked out of the tent, saying in a rustling voice, "Remember to inform me when you leave, I will bring Silkworm Treasure Silk to see you."

"You will definitely regret following me. I'm not a good person, so don't say I didn't tell you what I said!"

Looking at her chic back, Wu Liang warned in advance.

"Don't worry, I will bring a pair of scissors with me, don't say I didn't predict anything!"

Bai Jingjing said without looking back.

It can be seen that she is in a pretty good mood at the moment.

Maybe it's because this is the first time since she met Wu Liang that she hasn't been led around?

But in fact, this decision had already gone through Bai Jingjing’s careful consideration.

She knows better than anyone else that even if Wu Liang returns the Suihou Pearl now, her fate will not change in any way. The same goes for the Bai family, who are just like cold tools guarding a hopeless mausoleum from generation to generation.
