Xiao Ding followed Erzhuzi to the mountain village, and when he slept until the second watch at the village chief's house in Tieniu, he suddenly heard the sound of "rustling" snakes crawling, and at the same time, he heard a strange flute.

Who plays the flute in the middle of the night? Why do you play the flute in the middle of the night?

Xiao Ding didn't know why.

However, he had already distributed the realgar wine to the villagers in the afternoon, and he was not too worried about the snakes entering the village.

At this time, Yue Yurou also began to be alert, it was not that she heard any movement, but an intuition of people who practiced martial arts. Although she has also practiced Xiao Ding, she is currently only at the level of Qi training, and her ears and eyes are only a little stronger than ordinary people, and she has not yet reached the point where Xiao Ding has become a big man.

Xiao Ding sat up, tilted his head and listened, judging by the sound, the snakes had entered the village, and the sound of the flute gradually became clear.

Yue Yurou saw Xiao Ding sit up, as if she was listening to something, so she also sat up and listened carefully. Sure enough, she also heard a rustling sound.

"Is it the snakes?" Yue Yurou asked in a low voice.

Xiao Ding nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”

When the two passed by the hall, they saw that there were still more than a dozen jars of realgar wine left on the ground, Xiao Ding picked up the two jars, and then turned around and told Yue Yurou to bring the two jars as well. Then he walked out of the house.

The two of them came to the courtyard of Tie Niu's house, and stood on the only dirt road in the village that ran through the east and west ends of the village.

Xiao Ding looked at the entrance of the village and saw a dense queue of crawling snakes on the dirt road. These poisonous snakes did not run into the village's house, but crawled straight towards Xiao Ding and the others.

As the snakes approached, the sound of the flute seemed to get much closer, and the flute player seemed to be hiding near the entrance of the village.

Could it be that the serpents were driven by the pipers? This thought suddenly popped into Xiao Ding's mind.

Otherwise, who wouldn't sleep at night, standing at the entrance of the village and playing the flute, and the flute would sound so weird?

At this time, Yue Yurou had also discovered the snakes and the flute, and she whispered, "It seems to be someone from the Spirit Sect!" ”

"The Spirits?" Obviously, Xiao Ding didn't know about this sect.

"Yes, there is a sect in Jiangzhou that is good at driving animals and hurting people, and they have another set of secret methods within their sect, which can drive animals for their own use." Yue Yurou explained.

At this time, the group of snakes was less than four feet away from Xiao Ding and the others. Xiao Ding looked at the dense poisonous snakes on the ground and felt that his scalp was numb.

These poisonous snakes are not too big, most of them are about three feet long, and a few can reach five or six feet long, which can already be regarded as the big snake in this group of snakes.

Xiao Ding heard Yue Yurou say that the person who played the flute to drive away snakes might be a person from the Imperial Spirit Sect, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart, saying that he didn't seem to have offended the people of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and it was impossible for these villagers to offend the people of the Imperial Spirit Sect, why did he drive the snakes to the village to harm people?

With the rapid sound of the flute, the snakes began to riot, and only a few feet away, those poisonous snakes only meandered a few times before rushing to Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding hurriedly sprinkled a jar of realgar wine in his hand in front of him.

The poisonous snake in front of the snake group encountered the smell of realgar wine, and really stopped advancing, but the snake group behind did not know the situation in front of them, and still rushed towards the front regardless of life and death.

Realgar does not cause direct harm to snakes, but snakes are afraid of the smell of realgar and dare not come closer.

But at this time, with the crowding of the snakes behind, the poisonous snakes in front have been squeezed past the boundary of Xiao Ding's spilling wine.

After crossing the boundary, the poisonous snake was no longer afraid, and attacked directly towards Xiao Ding and the others.

Yue Yurou hurriedly used her sword to pick away the poisonous snakes that attacked one by one, and Xiao Ding took the opportunity to sprinkle a circle of realgar wine around the two of them again.

This time, the smell of realgar was huge, and many poisonous snakes had already smelled it, so they no longer attacked, but surrounded Xiao Ding and the two in the middle.

At this time, from the back of the snake group, a figure suddenly turned out, this person was thin and tall, with a slender neck and a water snake waist, two crane legs, and a thin and long figure.

He has a bamboo flute in his hand and is playing a strange tune to his lips.

Xiao Ding saw the main owner appearing, and hurriedly asked in a loud voice, "Who are you?" Why drive snakes into the village and harm people? ”

The slender flute player slowly removed the flute from his mouth, then laughed gloomily, and then said in a weird manner: "Hahahaha, the boy surnamed Tian, you are still in the dark!" I didn't expect you to be shrewd and fall into my trap, hahahaha! ”

As soon as Xiao Ding heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly continued to ask, "Why did I fall into your trap?" ”

The tall man then smiled and said, "Well, for the sake of you feeding the snake soon, I will tell you the truth today, in fact, you can come here tonight, it is all a deception set up by me, and I deliberately tricked you here." ”

Xiao Ding was shocked, and said in his heart that looking at the honest appearance of the two pillars and the iron bull, he couldn't imagine that they would deceive himself!

So, he asked suspiciously: "You mean, Erzhu and Tie Niu are all lying to me?" ”

"Of course, I forced them to go to the county to trick you, otherwise, I would really drive the snakes to their homes." The tall man said proudly.

"So, Erzhu and Tie Niu said that there will be snakes entering the village at night to harm people, isn't it true?" Xiao Ding frowned and said.

"Of course, you can't say that, if they don't do what I say, then tonight will be true." Said the tall man.

"Then what are you trying to do with all your efforts to trick me into coming here by using the villagers?" Xiao Ding asked.

"Of course I killed you! Aren't you a smart kid, why can't you even guess this? The tall man said disdainfully.

"But I don't know you, do I? Why did you kill me? I don't have any grudges with you? Xiao Ding still asked puzzled.

"You and I have no grievances, but you have a grudge against the king of Jiaozhou! My family sent the master to take refuge in the king of Jiaozhou, so naturally he wanted to contribute to the king of Jiaozhou, so he sent me over to clean you up! "The tall man is not obscure, and he tells the truth directly.

Of course, this is not a secret, Xiao Ding will know it sooner or later, not to mention, he has regarded Xiao Ding and the two as dead people tonight.

"Are you really from the Spirit Sect?" Xiao Ding asked in surprise.

"You guessed right, I am the second leader of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and I am also known as the Xiaoxiang Sanren who chases souls!" Said the slender piper who claimed to be named Xiaoxiang Sanren.

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart that Yue Yurou's guess was indeed right, the person in front of him was indeed a person from the Imperial Spirit Sect, and he was still the second master, and it seemed that he was not a small person. However, when will this Imperial Spirit Sect also return to the king of Jiaozhou? This made Xiao Ding a little unexpected.

However, this is not the time to think about these problems, but to think about how to solve these snakes.
