Chapter 2: The Spirit Snake
"Do you still remember those four sentences?' Wumen is the first in the world, Hu Ma is in the world, Wang Jiahu is mighty, who is competing for Yuan'" Xiaopang said: "The person who came to me is the 'Wumen first'"
I was taken aback and said, "Really, what is he looking for you? Since I entered the antique industry, my ears are full of legendary experiences about this person, it is said that his ancestors used to be a famous Tufuzi in the south, and then their family gradually declined, this not only revived their family's prestige, but also unified half of the Jiangnan tomb robbery, and now most of the industries in the Jiangnan antique industry are actually controlled by their family, and the assets have already exceeded one billion, and the strength is not in the north." 'Tier 1 wholesaler', what else can I ask you for help with?"
Xiaopang said proudly: "The emperor is not big, don't you have to listen to the shaver when shaving your head? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoDon't look at this person with such a big reputation, he still has something to ask me to be fat. This is an old friend of my uncle, and he used to steal and fight together, so I have to call him uncle, and he actually came to me to ask about Wu Lan. By the way, Brother Dong, do you know what Wu Lan has to do with him?"
"Could it be that Wu Lan is from the Wu family?" I said in surprise.
"That's right, Wu Lan is actually the uncle and younger brother of this 'Wumen Tianxiaxian', and the son of the second uncle of this 'Wumen Tianxiaxian', don't look at the age and I imitate it, I still have to call Wu Lan a little uncle when it comes to his mother" Xiaopang said.
"Oh, I really didn't expect this", I said: "I didn't see that this Wu Lan is so big, it seems that the people invited by the boss of this 'first-class wholesaler' are really not simple." Did he ask you about Wu Lan's whereabouts?"
"Yes", Xiaopang said: "He said that there has been no news of Wu Lan for a long time, and he sent people to inquire around without results, this Wu Lan seems to have disappeared, and later heard that I used to be with Wu Lan, so he personally came to me to inquire." This 'Wu Sect World Pioneer' has always been low-key, and he came here when he walked around, but after a trip in vain, I don't know where Wu Lan went, but when he saw this bead, he told me a piece of his previous experience."
It turns out that seven or eight years ago, this "Wumen Tianxia first" and Wang Fatzi -- that is, Xiaopang's uncle went to a place called "Snake Swamp Ghost Town" to steal and fight, according to the local guide, there are two roads leading to the "Snake Swamp Ghost Town", one is called "Alawang" by the locals, which means "Black Forest", this "Black Forest" is a primeval forest in the Gobi, the most sinister place is that there are many strange snakes, in addition, this road reaches the "Snake Swamp Ghost Town" The other road is through a canyon, which is called "Anasian", which means "Valley of Death", according to legend, this "Valley of Death" is guarded by the "Son of Death", if someone ventures in, the "Son of Death" will cast a spell on these people, so that those who enter have no place to die, even the locals dare not enter, this road is relatively close to the "Snake Swamp Ghost Town", and the hike will take about three days. At first, after listening to the introduction of the guide, "Wumen Tianxia Xian" decided to take the road of "Black Forest", because this "Wumen Tianxia Xian" has always acted more cautiously, and is reluctant to involve the unknown danger, although there are strange snakes in this "Black Forest" and it is far away from the "Snake Swamp Ghost Town", but after all, some people have walked and know more about the situation, and this "Valley of Death" is only a legend and is far away from the "Snake Swamp Ghost Town" It's relatively close, but almost no one has ever been in it, so it's impossible to understand the situation, and it's better to believe it than to take risks. But Wang Fatzi didn't think so, thinking that the legends of the "Valley of Death" were all made up to scare people, and there was no factual basis, even if there was really any "son of death", he had to kneel and kowtow when he met him, there was nothing to be afraid of. After Wang Fatzi's repeated encouragement, coupled with the fact that the time of this mission is indeed very urgent, this "Wumen World Pioneer" finally wavered, and finally decided to go to the "Valley of Death".
The first day of entering the "Valley of Death" went well, and I found that this "Valley of Death" was not as I imagined, except for flowers and trees, there were neither poisonous snakes and beasts, nor quicksand swamps, it was easy to walk, I didn't see anything dangerous in it, and I could reach the "Snake Swamp Ghost Town" after two days of walking, but a strange thing happened that night.
In their line, in addition to "Wumen is the first in the world" and Wang Fatzi, there are more than a dozen other people. It was getting late that day, so I found an open space in the "Valley of Death" to set up a tent and camp. In the middle of the night, Wang Fat got up to pee, when he was halfway through the pee, he suddenly saw an oval thing under the tree next to him, about the size of a fist, Wang Fat Man was very curious, thinking that he could pick up what treasure, after peeing, Wang Fat Man walked over and picked up the thing, a look, it turned out to be an egg, and I don't know what kind of animal it is, the strange thing is that the surface of this egg is covered with patterns like eyes. Wang Fatzi didn't see that it was a valuable thing, and wanted to put the egg away and keep it to eat, but when he saw the eye-like patterns covered with this egg, he felt very different (Beijing dialect, disgusting meaning), and he didn't dare to eat it casually, so he threw the egg into the darkness with enough strength, only to hear the sound of "pop", it was estimated that it was smashed.
Wang Fatzi went back to sleep in the tent after peeing, and just when he was about to fall asleep, he heard a burst of gunfire outside the tent, accompanied by gunshots, and two people screamed hoarsely. Everyone was awakened, "Wumen is the first in the world" and Wang Fatzi rushed outside the tent to see that there were two people in a pool of blood, who were the two guys on duty at night. After careful inspection, it was strange that these two fellows were not attacked, but shot to death, and they were usually very good friends, so why would they shoot each other with guns? However, the next day, strange things happened one after another, first one of the guys suddenly ran to a cliff like crazy while walking, and then jumped off without hesitation and committed suicide, and then another guy took out a gun and shot wildly at everyone, killing two people and killing two of them. What exactly happened? Why did some people "go crazy" one after another? Just when the "Wumen Tianxia Xian" was confused, Wang Fatzi also had a problem, and I saw that he roared angrily and lifted a fellow man above his head and threw him under the cliff, and then he wanted to jump down, but fortunately, the "Wumen Tianxia Xian" had a hand disease and threw Wang Fatzi to the ground with all his strength, and together with the other gangsters, it took a lot of effort to restrain Wang Fatzi, and then he gave an anesthetic injection to save Wang Fatzi's life. "Wu Men is the first in the world" to see that they can't go any further, there must be something weird in this "Valley of Death" that can make people crazy, and if it goes on like this, everyone will die. Could it be that the curse of the "Son of Death" really exists in this "Valley of Death"? After consideration, it was decided to withdraw from the "Valley of Death".
After exiting the "Valley of Death", Wang Fatzi still did not get better, the whole person was in a state of madness, although he was tied with a rope, but he was afraid that he would bite his tongue and commit suicide, so he could only use anesthetics to temporarily control him, but it was not always a way. Later, I heard that there is a local witch doctor called "Na Teng" who can lift the spell of the "son of death", "Wu Men Tianxia Xian" immediately took Wang Fat with his buddies to find this "Na Teng" witch doctor, when he saw "Na Teng", he found that this "Na Teng" turned out to be not a witch doctor, his original name was "Feng Yueteng", is a descendant of General Feng Yuxiang, this Feng Yueteng had studied abroad to study biology when he was a teenager, and was proficient in Chinese and Western medicine, he was especially interested in snakes, and heard about "Snake Swamp Ghost Town" There are a lot of strange snakes nearby, I came here to study, I didn't expect to live for fifteen years, because of the study of snakes at the same time to the local people, there are many strange diseases have been cured by him, so the locals call him "witch doctor", that is, we Han people say "divine doctor" meaning.
After Feng Yueteng saw Wang Fatzi's state, he immediately made a diagnosis, and the disease that Wang Fatzi had was called "Spirit Snake Madness", which needed to be treated by surgery immediately. Subsequently, Feng Yueteng operated on Wang Fatzi, took out an object from Wang's upper arm with tweezers, put it into a vial containing liquid, and then closed the lid. Subsequently, Feng Yueteng gave Wang Fatzi some Chinese and Western medicines, and it was not until a few days later that Wang Fatzi recovered.
"Wumen Tianxiaxian" was surprised to see that Feng Yueteng took out a small snake from Wang Fatzi's upper arm, and looked closely at the appearance of this small snake similar to an ordinary grass snake, but the strange thing is that this snake is only the size of a rice worm, "Wumen Tianxiaxian" has never seen such a small snake.
According to Feng Yueteng, this kind of snake was relatively common in ancient times, but in modern times, it is only found in the "Valley of Death" near this "snake swamp ghost town", which is extremely rare and is called "spirit snake". This "spirit snake" is very weird, the female snake and the male snake are very different, the female snake is very large, the adult snake can reach five meters, and the male snake is surprisingly small, it is the smallest snake in the world, and the largest adult male spirit snake is only the size of a small thumb. The female snake of this "spirit snake" is not poisonous, but the male snake is highly venomous, and the male snake crawls very fast, comes and goes without a trace, like a ghost, it attacks animals and humans in a different way from other snakes, it does not use fangs, but can quickly burrow into the body of animals or people like leeches, and then release toxins, and slowly swim in the body. The poison of this male snake can make people crazy, and if it swims to the human brain, it will make people crazy and die, and the death is very terrifying.
It is not clear how the male snake and the female snake mate, but the eggs laid by the female snake are very special, it does not lay a nest of eggs like other snakes and then hatch naturally, it only lays one egg, and there are hundreds of small snakes in this egg, the strange thing is that there are only male snakes and no female snakes among these small snakes, and it is still not clear how the female snake is produced. This snake egg is covered with eye-like patterns, no need to hatch, three days after laying eggs, these small snake will crawl out of the center of the "eye", just out of the small male snake is only the size of a rice worm. It is estimated that the egg that Wang Fatzi picked up and smashed was the spirit snake egg that was about to break.
After listening to Xiaopang's recounting of the strange experience of "Wu Men in the World" and Wang Fatzi's encounter with the "Spirit Snake", I asked: "What does this have to do with this bead? What kind of bead is this? Why can you see those strange scenes from inside?"
