Chapter 43: The Snake

Lin Shuo and Anne had no other choice but to return to the thatched hut again.

The water system here extends in all directions, and no one else knows where Xiao Hachi was taken by the Black Water Dragon King.

The only one who could have known was the dragon king's envoy who had fallen into a coma.

By this time, the sky was already dark.

This old man, who is over half a hundred years old, is lying on a hay mat at the moment, and his eyes are looking directly at Lin Shuo and Anne who walked into the house.

Seeing that the Dragon King envoy had woken up, Lin Shuo hurriedly took two steps forward and squatted in front of him: "Can you still speak?"

The dragon baby's face trembled, and his eyes moved in the direction of the corner.

Anne's mind was so lively that she was happy to understand it.

She hurriedly climbed on the straw mat, and between the corner of the wall and the straw mat, she reached out and touched it, and soon found a small porcelain bottle.

Anne shook the small porcelain bottle, listened to the movement inside, and glanced at Lin Shuo: "It seems to be a pill." ”

"Give it to him. Lin Shuo said, "I guess he came back to get this medicine." ”

Anne quickly pulled the cork from the porcelain plate, poured the pill out of it, and fed it into the mouth of the dragon king's emissary.

After swallowing the pill with difficulty, the Dragon King envoy let out a long sigh of relief, then closed his eyes again, and said softly in his mouth:

"was interrupted by the two of you, and my old Liu almost died in Huangquan. ”

"Are you a shepherd of the Liu family?"

"Hmm. The envoy of the dragon king replied, and said weakly, "But if you are not a shepherd in the future, then it is not necessarily." ”

"What's wrong with the Black Water Dragon King?"

"I don't know. The envoy of the Dragon King said, "It has been with our Liu family for more than a thousand years, and it is usually a fool, but it can understand people's words and recognize the pastor, but I didn't expect it to be in the hands of my generation......"

Speaking of this, Liu Shunfu, the envoy of the Dragon King, couldn't say any more, and his eyes were confused: "I'm sorry for my ancestors." ”

"What happened?" asked Anne.

Liu Shunfu muttered and replied: "I am trading in the estuary, and it is playing with the phoenix of the Lin family in the river. It would have been good. But suddenly it seemed to go crazy, and both eyes turned red. I tried to appease it, but it knocked him headlong and lost half his life. When I struggled to climb onto the boat, I found that it had swam away. Your phoenix, which has never come down from its head, has also been taken away by it. ”

"Where do you think it might have gone?" asked Lin Shuo.

"This ......" Liu Shunfu showed a hesitant look on his face and didn't continue.

Lin Shuo looked at Liu Shunfu quietly, and his eyes were as cold as the first time Anne met him, which was so cold that it made people chill in their bones.

"Well, it's all up to this, and I can't hide it. Liu Shunfu sighed and said, "The most likely place for it to go is called the Black Water Dragon Nest." ”

"Blackwater Dragon's Nest?"

"Yes. Blackwater Dragon's Lair. ”

"I've never heard of it, what is that place?" wondered Anne.

"That's its lair. Liu Shunfu said, "Although we shepherds depend on each other for their lives, but in the past thousand years, the body of that fool has become bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult for our Liu family to make a home for it."

More than 100 years ago, this fool found a place to live at the bottom of the Heilongjiang River, so we settled in Waixinganling.

That place, under the Heilongjiang River, people can't enter, only the foolish goods can enter, at first my ancestors didn't bother to care about it, thinking that it could avoid people.

Later, my father was so bold that he once lay in his mouth and followed him to its lair, and came back and said that it was a natural cave underground, and it was very large.

At that time, this fool was already the Black Water Dragon King, and since it was his lair, my father called it the Black Water Dragon Nest.

Originally, I wanted to go there too, but my father somehow made me swear on my knees that I would not be able to set foot in that place.

I don't dare to be disobedient, so I've never been to it in my life, but I know that there is such a place. ”

After Liu Shunfu finished saying this, his spirit became even worse, and his face turned blue.

"Then the Black Water Dragon King, how did you get injured before?" Lin Shuo asked.

"That fool is different from your phoenix, it can't speak, so I don't know how it hurts. I only know that it went to the lair a month ago and came back injured.

I guess something was going to take over its lair, and it got into a fight with that thing, but it didn't hit anyone, and ran away wounded.

Since then, the fool has been wandering back and forth in the river, following me to collect sacrifices to replenish his body, and never returned to his lair.

This time it went berserk, and I guess it went back to grab the turf. ”

"Why did you let Mr. Lin know it was injured?" asked Anne.

"There is a descendant of the Lin family in Waixinganling, why else?" Liu Shunfu said, "As soon as I saw the bow behind him, I knew his origin, the Lin family of the Hunting Gate, that is a well-known name." I know he's not here for a fool. However, when we met at that time, he looked too young, and I was afraid that he would be strong-blooded, so I had the idea of making a fool of myself, so I greeted him with words. ”

After Liu Shunfu said this, his eyes closed again, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

"Asleep. Anne whispered and looked at Lin Shuo, "Mr. Lin, do you think he is credible?"

"It's not all true, but it's not far from ten. Lin Shuo nodded.

"What do we do next?" Anne asked.

"To find the Blackwater Dragon's Lair, of course. Lin Shuo looked at Anne.

As soon as he said this, Lin Shuo suddenly twitched his nose and looked out of the door of the grass house.

After a while, a tall figure appeared outside the door.

Wei Xingshan walked in with a bloody face, sat on the hay mat with his butt in his arms, glanced at the sleeping Liu Shunfu, and said with a big grin: "Mr. Lin, you are heavy enough, beat the old man like this." ”

Lin Shuo didn't bother to explain, he smelled the smell of Wei Xingshan's body, only felt that the bloody qi rushed straight to his head, and asked rhetorically, "How many have you killed?"

"Damn, five little rabbit cubs took a gun to copy my back door, but fortunately Lao Tzu was clever and touched them with his backhand. Wei Xingshan grinned, looked left and right at the grass house, and said, "By the way, what about the eighth master?"

"Abducted. Lin Shuo sighed and shook his head.

"Abducted? Which bird did it?"

"It's not a bird, it's a snake, it's a snake. Lin Shuo said.

"What kind of snake is that?" Wei Xingshan was puzzled.

"The Black Water Dragon King is a snake. Lin Shuo explained, "The size of the Ba snake is growing with age, and the thousand-year-old Ba snake is one of the largest bizarre creatures in the world, second only to the hooked snake in Kunlun Mountain before. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Shuo looked at Anne again: "In our Lin family's "Kyushu Foreign Objects", there is actually a record of this snake, which has the words 'good nature and good Liu Muzhi', reminding us that the descendants of the Lin family are the head of the snake, and the herdsman's surname is Liu, don't kill it by mistake."

I saw it from a distance by the river before, and I thought it was a bit like it, but now this Dragon King Messenger's surname is Liu, so it's right. ”

"It turns out that the Black Water Dragon King is the Ba Snake. Anne realized.

"Mr. Lin, do you mean that the eighth master was abducted by this snake called the Black Water Dragon King?"

"Pretty much. Lin Shuo said.

"That's still our eighth master's way. Wei Xingshan said with a smile, "Have a good appetite, don't pick." ”

"Okay, Team Wei, Mr. Lin was in a bad mood, and you were still poking a knife in his heart. Anne dissatisfied.

"Old Wei, after killing a few people, do you start to float?" Lin Shuo glanced at Wei Xingshan.

"Hey! Don't dare. Wei Xingshan generously admitted, "I finally survived just now, and I still want to live a few more years." ”

While speaking, Wei Xingshan put his hands on his knees and stood up: "Then don't be stunned, let's find it? A starling is not easy to find, and a snake of this size is not easy to find?"

"It's really hard to find. Anne said, "According to the Dragon King's emissary, the snake may have been hiding in an underground lair called the Blackwater Dragon's Lair, which no one has ever visited. ”

"And this kind of place?"

Lin Shuo suddenly remembered something and asked, "Old Wei, where is the map on your body?"

"Oh, yes. Wei Xingshan felt in his pocket and reached out to take out the map.

By this time, it was already dawn, and although the sun had not yet climbed the mountain, the map could already be seen clearly inside the house.

"We're in ...... Is this right?" Lin Shuo looked at the map for a while and pointed to the directions on the map.

"Almost. Wei Xingshan nodded.

"Miss Anne, where did you hear the epicenter of the earthquake just now?"

Anne leaned over and looked at the map and pointed to a place with her finger: "Seventy kilometers to the southeast, it should be here." ”

"The epicenter is on the Heilongjiang River. Lin Shuo said, "It's less than 20 kilometers away from Jia Linda. ”

"Strange, I remember that the Heilongjiang River basin is not in the seismic zone. "How can an earthquake happen for no apparent reason?"

"Remember? The shepherd said that the Black Water Dragon's Nest is at the bottom of the Heilongjiang River. ”

"What do you mean ......"

"I'm going to look near the epicenter. ”
