79: West Lake under the moon
Snake tooth vitex is a strange plant that feeds on blood. Eight hundred years ago, strange snakes infested Yongzhou, injuring countless people. There are masters who protect the people, so they take great pains to cultivate snake teeth and wattles to hunt strange snakes.
Later, the alien snake was driven out and wiped out, and the snaketooth vitex disappeared with it. Many people thought that this strange plant had died out along with the snake. Today, 800 years later, the vast majority of people in the world do not know that such a plant existed in the world. Only a very small number of people, such as the learned and talented people like Tianyi, learned about the snake's tooth thorn by reading ancient books. But it's just some kind of absurd anecdote about the mountains, and it doesn't take it seriously.
But just yesterday, Cheng Li, together with Xiaoqing, saw the living snake tooth thorn with his own eyes. This ferocious blood-sucking plant not only killed the only surviving girl Li Mingxia in the Koi Dart Bureau murder. He even sucked up the blood of the chief manager of the Canghai Yueming Building, Yang Wuxian, and the remaining dozens of disciples of the Canghai Yueming Building. even tried to turn Cheng Li and Xiaoqing into food in their mouths together.
If you want to talk about the understanding of snake tooth thorn, there may be no second person in the world who can surpass Xiaoqing. Because she is the person who experienced the battle between the strange snake and the snake tooth thorn in Yongzhou eight hundred years ago.
Under Xiaoqing's guidance, Cheng Li dispersed the overwhelming and surging group of snaketooth thorns, and even dealt a heavy blow to the mastermind behind the manipulation of this murderous blood-sucking plant hidden in the shadows. Only then did he survive the catastrophe safely.
But who is behind the manipulation of the snake's tooth, what is the origin, and why is this done? All these questions remain unanswered. Although Cheng Li and Xiaoqing afterwards, as well as Huang Lei, the owner of the third floor of Canghai Yueming Building, discussed and speculated together, they could not reach a definitive conclusion on this matter after all.
Huang Lei's master, Tianyi Jushi, and the master of the four major stalls are the princes, and they belong to the relationship between brothers and sisters. So Huang Lei and Qiu Yeyu are also the same door. Especially now, Canghai Yueming Building and Xiuchun Building are on the same side in dealing with Perak Hall, so the relationship between Huang Lei and Qiu Yeyu is closer than ever. Therefore, Huang Lei had no reservations about the snake tooth thorn, and told Qiu Yeyu to know.
It is precisely because he knows the cause and effect of the matter that once Cheng Li says the six words "Yang is not slanted, snake teeth are thorny", the autumn night rain will immediately understand. His eyebrows froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Cheng Shao, do you suspect that the person who manipulated Snake Tooth Jing to kill Chief Yang and Miss Li, and tried to plot against you, has something to do with Zhang Xuanjing?"
Cheng Li groaned and said slowly: "At the beginning, I just vaguely had such a feeling. This Zhang Xuanjing, he came a little too coincidentally. The backing of Thunderbolt Hall is Badou Hall, so between Zhang Xuanjing and Zhai Feijing, it is obviously not an ordinary general friendship. After that, you said something about the eight parts of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Protectors, and I was more sure. The person who manipulated the snake tooth thorn to plot against me yesterday is very likely to be one of the eight Dharma Protectors. ”
Qiu Yeyu nodded solemnly: "In terms of the gossip of the five elements, water can give birth to wood, and soil can also give birth to wood." If it is really the Eight Dharma Protectors who secretly manipulate the snake tooth thorn, then the person who made the move, if it is not Kanshui, must be Kundi. But...... This is speculation, not conclusive evidence. Officially, it is not accurate. ”
Cheng Li said slowly: "Where to find the blessed land of the cave? The glazed treasure knife is related to the secret of ascending to immortals, and it is also related to the blessed land of the cave. From ancient times to the present, the most obsessed with the ascension of immortality is definitely not the emperors of all dynasties, but those Taoist priests. Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain is a Taoist priest among Taoist priests. To say that he is not at all interested in the glass treasure knife, hey, even if I believe it, do you believe it or not?"
Qiu Yeyu frowned and said, "Although it makes sense. But this is just speculation. Anything else?"
Are there any other speculations? Absolutely. The master who cultivated the snake tooth thorn back then was actually the "Dao Venerable" who was once recognized as the supreme of the Daomen. At the same time, he is also the founder of the "Taiyin True Scripture".
Although 800 years ago, Daozun and the head of the snake clan, the "Snake Mother", both died after an earth-shattering battle. But since Longhu Mountain is the sect of all streams of the Dao Gate, it is not surprising that Longhu Mountain will get something about Dao Zun.
Longhu Mountain, as the hereditary fief of the Zhang family, is not allowed to be entered by outsiders. For hundreds of years, it has been a place outside the law. What happened inside, no one outside would ever know. It is only in this environment that it is possible for a murderous creature similar to a snake's tooth to be preserved to this day and not become extinct.
However, about Daozun and about the snake mother, because it involves Xiaoqing's true identity, Cheng Li will not talk about it casually to anyone. Even if there is only autumn night rain in front of you, it will not be. What's more, now that there are Boss Le and Le Da Shao's father and son, as well as other people such as Yan Niang, Cheng Li will not say more.
So Cheng Li smiled and said lightly: "Qiu Da stall, you are a little mistaken. This is not a government case, and there is no rule that it is better to indulge than to pervert, and there is no need for any evidence to be conclusive. I don't like him, and I guess he's going to be bad for me, so I can do it. Isn't it all like this?"
Autumn Night Rain was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "It's really like this on the rivers and lakes." However, as people in the government, we always hope that everyone can know the law and abide by the law, and not hurt and kill people casually. If everyone can think more before they start and have a little more scruples, then the world will be much more peaceful. ”
Cheng Li said: "I also hope to be able to do so. But before that, since others have already done it first, then I will never tie my hands and feet and set many restrictions. ”
Qiu Yeyu shook his head: "Alas~ I don't know if this hope for everyone in the world to know the law and abide by the law will be realized...... Never mind. Cheng Shao, what should I do now? Will you stay or go back?"
Cheng Li said: "There is a mess on the ship, let's go back tonight." ”
Autumn Night Rain said: "That's fine." At the moment, together with Boss Le's father and son, he said goodbye to Yanniang and left.
Cheng Li wanted to follow along, but he felt his sleeves tighten. Looking back, it turned out that he was pulled by Yan Niang. She said pitifully: "Cheng Shao, you will come again, right?"
Cheng Li patted her face that seemed to be blown up, and said with a smile: "As long as I am free, I will come again." Wait for me. ”
Yan Niang was overjoyed, took him to the outside deck, and said affectionately and almost helplessly: "That's good." Cheng Shao, Yan Niang will look forward to you every day. ”

Under the moonlit night, the lake is like a mirror, the moonlight is like silver, and in the evening breeze, it seems to carry some kind of fresh floral fragrance.
Cheng Li walked alone on the shore of the lake, his steps were gentle, as if he was drunk. But it wasn't wine that could get him drunk. It's this West Lake.
Isn't the West Lake under the moon in late spring and March more intoxicating than wine?
Suddenly, Cheng Li stopped again. He turned slowly, and then he noticed that deep in the willow shade, a pair of large eyes were staring at him.
It's Xiaoqing. She wore a brand new lake-green dress. This dress looks so good on her.
Xiaoqing looked at him from a distance, as if he had been standing there for a long time, had been watching for a long time. The eyes of the two touched each other in the night sky, and then Xiaoqing smiled and walked over to this side.
The wind is blowing, and the catkins are flying in the air, like the first snow. Xiaoqing parted the willow branches and walked slowly. One step out, the slender waist is a twist, soft as a willow branch. Enchanting. It's even better. Perhaps, men's eyes were originally grown to look at this kind of woman.
But after knowing Xiaoqing for so long, Cheng Li discovered for the first time that she would twist so much when she walked, and she could twist so beautifully.
Did she deliberately twist it to Cheng Li? to prove that she was no longer a little girl, but a woman?
In fact, anyone can find out. Even though the eyebrows are still childish, there is a completely mature intoxicating charm above her figure. At first glance, these two seem to contradict each other. But in Xiaoqing's body, he has obtained a certain kind of harmonious unity, but it shows a certain kind of beauty that is completely exclusive to Xiaoqing.
A woman like her was born to be seen by others. If you don't want to look at it, then you're sinning against yourself.
But what if you look at her a second time? Chances are, you're going to be able to resist it, and you're really going to sin against her.
Just when Cheng Li was thinking about these messy things, Xiaoqing had already walked over. The smile as gentle as the moon suddenly fell, and she straightened her face and said coldly: "You came down from the Wanhua Boat? I thought you were going to stay on it." How's it going, what those vixens taste like?"
Cheng Li wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't know why, he was a little moved. He smiled and said, "I've taken a closer look, but there aren't any vixens." But after coming down from the Wanhua Boat, I met a little goblin again. It's not scary, it's cute. ”
Xiaoqing's face turned red, and she continued to keep a straight face, and said coldly: "Is it? But why do I always feel like a vixen?"
Cheng Li smiled: "I didn't smell the smell." But I smelled vinegar. Otherwise, you can smell it carefully. As he spoke, he raised his sleeves and approached Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing's face turned even redder, and he opened the sleeves of his shirt and said angrily: "Vinegar you big-headed ghost." Take it away, it stinks to death. Then his eyes widened again, and he asked, "Don't interrupt, I can clearly smell rouge." Are you fooling around on the boat? Hmph, what's so good about those women on the boat? Can they compare to me?"
Cheng Li suddenly realized. It turns out that what Xiaoqing is really uncomfortable in her heart is this incident! But it is clear that it is really difficult to explain why it is really clear. No, it should be said that this kind of thing is simply inexplicable. So sometimes, not explaining is the best explanation.
