On the way back, I kept rethinking what had happened recently. The problems I encountered seemed very loose, but in fact they were interlinked, and sometimes I had to give up one of the clues and follow the other.

Is this the situation I encountered too complicated, or is Xue Yu setting up a game to lure me into the trap?

From the perspective of time, even if the Tulip family leaked Ling'er's secret, Xue Yu of the Nameless Sect should not have come so quickly. In such a big battle as the Gods and Demons Cemetery, it is impossible for Xue Yu to be absent, from the end of the Gods and Demons Cemetery to the present, just one week is not enough for them to lay out. If it's not Xue Yu laying out, who is constantly disrupting my rhythm?

I hesitated and dialed the fox mother's phone: "Fox mother, you help me check Xue Yu's recent movements." ”

The fox mother quickly found out the news: "Xue Yu, I left the Nameless Sect yesterday morning. According to the intelligence, it was you who took the station of the Nameless Sect and provoked Xue Yu. ”

The fox mother said in a deep voice: "You must be careful of this Xue Yu." Although she is low-key in the Nameless Sect, she has always been Qin Hong's right-hand man. It's a difficult character. Don't put it in her hands. ”

"Don't worry!I'm not a fuel-efficient lamp!" I put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xue Yu and I were on the same starting line, at least it would make me feel a lot more at ease.

I sneered, "Xue Yu wants to disrupt my rhythm, then let's have fun." Ye Xun, inform the police to search the warehouse just now, and then let them go to Xue Yu to arrest people, I don't believe that Xue Yu dares to confront the police. ”

The Li family took out snake gall wine to entertain VIPs, of course, they would not use poisonous snakes caught casually, but many highly venomous snakes are protected animals in China. I don't believe their warehouses are going to be that clean.

I just waited at the police station for half an hour, and Li Meerkat and the others were all brought back, and when Li Meerkat saw me, he spat at the ground: "Scum!"

I walked up to him with a smile and punched the other party in the stomach, and the other party was knocked to the ground by me on the spot, and I stepped on his head without waiting for the other party to get up: "The phlegm on the ground, how did you vomit, you lick it clean for me." Leave a little bit, and you won't have to get up today. ”

"Wang Huan, what do you want to do?" The Li family was about to resist when they were forced back to their original position by the Taiping Knife of the Old Knife Group.

I said coldly: "The surname is Li, you'd better not tell me anything about 'soldiers can be killed, not humiliated'." I'm really good at killing. ”

As I spoke, I gradually exerted force on my feet, and anyone who has practiced martial arts knows how strong the force emitted by a martial artist's feet is, even a stone slab can be torn apart under the feet of a martial artist, let alone whose head it is.

Li Zhen was still scolding at first, but soon there was no movement, and when the red blood flowed down his cheeks, he said: "Wang Huan, you arrested us back just to know some secrets from our mouths, what do you want to know, I can tell you, you let people go." ”

"Fortunately, the Li family is not all fools. I removed the foot that had stepped on Li Meng's head: "Take her into the interrogation room." ”

Although she was brought into the interrogation room, she was still undaunted, and her eyes remained calm and she did not say a word.

I said lightly, "Name." ”

"Lysse. Cersei replied calmly: "They are all people in the rivers and lakes, why bother to make these useless things, wouldn't it be better to ask what you want to ask directly?"

I looked at the other party: "Why did your Li family go to the coast, and how did you find that community?"

"It was a girl named Zhang Qiang who found us and showed me a picture of a giant python eating people, and we arrived here. ”

"Zhang Qiang?" I said in a deep voice, "When was that?"

"It's the 5th of this month. Liser replied, "I have a record of my conversation with her on my phone." ”

I asked people to bring Li Sese's mobile phone and look through it a few times, and sure enough, there was the content of her conversation with Zhang Qiang.

The Li family ostensibly opened a cleaning company to repel rats, snakes, and cockroaches. In fact, it is using the company as a cover to hunt down xenomorph snakes and explore forbidden areas.

The conversation between Zhang Qiang and Li Sese is also very simple, roughly saying that he has found a strange snake that eats people, and he needs the Li family to catch it. It was accompanied by a photograph.

The man in the photo has been devoured by the python, leaving only the area above the chest exposed, and the person taking the picture is far away from the place of the incident, but the face of the deceased can be roughly seen from the photo.

I handed my phone to a police officer: "Check to see if this deceased person is a person who disappeared from the construction site." ”

The police officer glanced at his phone: "He is the thief who disappeared, the same time that the community security guard reported the case a few days ago." ”

It turned out that the thief did not fall into the construction site and slip away, but died in the belly of the snake after falling into the construction site.

I shook my phone and said, "Pythons eat people, it's not uncommon to say that it's not unusual, it's worth your Li family's big move?"

Li Sese shook his head and said, "That's a demon snake, you look carefully at the snake's forehead and make the photo bigger." ”

Then I saw that the python had a bulge on its forehead like a horn.

Unicorn python?

If you look at it from the perspective of the ancients, even if you don't think of it as a dragon, it will be regarded as a demon snake.

I put down my phone and said, "Just because this one horn has not grown, can you say that he is a demon snake?"

Li Sese shook his head and said, "This alone is enough for us to run the coast once, and it turns out that we have come to the right place." ”

I interrupted Li Sese: "How did Zhang Qiang find the Li family? If she simply needs to catch snakes, she can ask the police for help, or she can find the wildlife protection department, so that she won't find the Li family across the three provinces, right?"

Li Sese said: "I also asked Zhang Qiang on the phone about your question. She said it was her friend. If one day, he has an accident, he must contact the Li family and tell them that there is a demon snake here. ”

I suddenly came to my senses: "What else did she say?"

Li Sese said: "I originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but Zhang Qiang said that it was not convenient to talk on the phone, and I would talk about it after we met." But after we came, we didn't see Zhang Qiang. ”

Li Sese recalled: "We stayed in the hotel according to the address provided by Zhang Qiang, and according to our agreement, she should have come to meet us at about nine o'clock. But it was a courier who gave us an envelope signed by Zhang Qiang. There was only a key and the address of Zhang Qiang's house. ”

"Zhang Qiang called me at the time, saying that it was inconvenient for me to come forward, and asked me to go to her house with the key, and from the terrace of her house, you can see the snake nest on the construction site. I was skeptical at the time, but when I arrived at the community, I was frightened by the scene. ”

Li Sese raised his head and said, "I found the Seven Star Lock Dragon Pool in the construction site. ”

"What?" I couldn't help but frown, "What are you talking about?"

Li Se looked at me and said, "Do you believe that there are dragons in this world? Do you believe that anyone has eaten dragons?"

"Eat dragons?" I roughly recalled.

There are legends about raising dragons and eating dragons in ancient books.

"Zuo Biography" records that in ancient times, there was a man named Dong's father, who was good at raising dragons, and he once raised dragons for Emperor Shun, and Emperor Shun named him the Fenglong clan.

As for the dragon eating, it is another legend, "Historical Records Xia Benji" and "The Legend of the Immortals" recorded that the emperor Kong Jia of the Xia Dynasty got two dragons, one female and one male, and found a person named Liu Lei and asked him to raise these two dragons.

Liu Lei didn't know how to raise a dragon, and it didn't take long for the female dragon to die. He simply cooked the dead dragon and gave it to Kong Jia to eat. After Kong Jia ate it, he praised it greatly, and Liu Lei was scared and ran away.

Kong Jia was helpless, and found another dragon breeding master named Shimen. The master raised the male dragon to be energetic and radiant, and Kong Jia was very happy. However, the master has an upright personality, and often criticizes Kong Jia for not knowing how to raise dragons, which makes Kong Jia angry, and finally orders someone to kill him, and buries his body in the wilderness outside the city.

Soon it rained heavily, and a strong wind blew, and when the wind and rain stopped, the mountains and forests outside the city began to burn again. Kong Jia originally believed in gods and ghosts, but this time he even believed that it was the unjust soul of the master who was causing trouble, so he had to take a carriage and rush to the suburbs to pray. After praying, Kong Jia boarded the car back to the city, walked halfway, and died in the car.

In addition, it is recorded in the "Collected Memories" that during the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling ate dragons, and the "Narrative of Differences" also records that Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty also ate dragon meat.

Did these legends really exist?

I said in a deep voice, "Don't ask me if you believe it or not, you can continue to talk about it later." ”

Li Se said: "The Seven Star Lock Dragon Pool is the pool built by the ancient Dragon Clan to raise dragons. In order to prevent the raised dragons from escaping from the dragon pool, the Royal Dragon Clan would build seven columns near the dragon pond to suppress the dragons, from which the Seven Star Lock Dragon Pool got its name. ”

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this: "What era is that Lock Dragon Pond building?"

Li Sese said: "I don't know, but there is a blue brick engraved with the year of Jiajing, and the exact year is a little blurred. I don't know, if that's the original thing, or if it's been patched up later. ”

"Jiajing Year?" I tapped lightly on the table with my hand, Jiajing Year was not just the time when the Japanese were raging. If, according to the security guard, after the pirates occupied that wasteland as a stronghold, they built a hole to kill innocents, could that hole be the Dragon Pond?

In this way, does the saying that Wang Zhi drove Jiaolong really exist?

I nodded, "You go on." ”

Li Sese said: "In the eyes of the ancients, the giant python is actually a dragon, or the demon snake will also be regarded as a dragon by them, and we also suspected that the demon snake in the dragon pond ran out to hurt people." In fact, the dragon pond was just an empty pool. ”

I frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

Before Li Sese could answer, Ye Xun walked in from outside: "Wang Huan, the person who probed the hand of God is here, and he wants to bail the Li family." ”
