"White Snake?"

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent. A strange color flashed in Zhan Wenjun's eyes, he looked at Xu You, and said softly: "What does Xu Langjun want the White Snake to do?" ”

"The white snake is a spiritual creature in the world, and it naturally has its wonderful use...... Xu You has the scientific concept of later generations as a foundation, knowing that the white snake is just an albinism mutation, any species of snake, may mutate into a whole body white, nothing unusual, just a matter of probability, and it has nothing to do with the gods.

It's just that these words can't be said directly, only when everyone in the world believes that the white snake is a spiritual creature in the world, can Du Jingzhi's death be broken.

Zhan Wenjun didn't speak, lowered her head and fell into deep thought, as if there was something difficult to decide that made her very embarrassed.

Qianqin frowned and said, "The White Snake is hard to see, although there are endless books, but there are only a handful of people who have actually seen it." If you have been searching for many years, you may still catch it by chance, but in this moment, where to find it? ”

Baihua grinned and said: "Could it be that Xu Langjun actually has no good plan, so the first condition is so embarrassing?" ”

Xu You smiled: "The two little ladies are wronged. It's best to have a real white snake, if not, it's still that sentence, if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will find a snake to paint with white paint, and it will not show flaws far away from ten zhang, that is! ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the South of the Sea" has: "The snake eats elephants, and its bones come out at the age of three, and the gentleman is sick without a stomach." There is also a "Spirit Snake Swallowing Elephants, How Big is it?" of the record. The so-called "Ba snake" and "spirit snake" may be a kind of python today. The origin of this snake is mostly in the southern area south of Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountain, and Xu You has researched that there are about two places. The first is Daba Mountain, which is the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, also known as Snake Mountain. According to the records of "Notes on the Book of Water" and "Famous Places in Shu", there are "Divine Snake Wu" in the north of Daba Mountain, and there is "Ba Snake Cave" in the south of the mountain, all of which are place names handed down in ancient times, and there are countless legends about Ba Snake.

The other place is much closer to Qiantang, "Huainanzi Benjing Xun" contains: "Yao Zhizhi...... Sealing and repairing snakes are all harms to the people. Yao Nai made Yi...... Break the snake in the cave court. "Cultivating a snake is a long snake, that is, a snake. Yu Zhongyong's "Jiang Ji" of the Song Dynasty of the Six Dynasties said: "Yi Tuba snake is in Dongting, and its bones are like tombs, so it is called Baling." That is to say, in ancient times, people found the whereabouts or remains of the snake in the area of Dongting Lake, and it was not uncommon.

"Ba Snake ......"

Baihua tilted his head and thought about it, clapped his hands and said: "I remember, I saw a snake catcher in the countryside catch this snake when I was racing in Mishui last year, and it took more than ten people to carry it." But it's not as big as the legend says......"

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that the snake is 800 feet long, this data should be exaggerated, generally about four meters, and seven meters long, which is already considered a giant among snakes.

As for Mishui, it is a branch of the Miluo River, with Luoshui in the north and Mishui in the south, which flows into Dongting Lake after converging into one place, and Qu Yuan committed suicide here.

After listening to Baihua's words, Xu You was sure that the snake really lived in the Dongting area, and he was relieved, and said: "Since Xiao Niang has seen it with her own eyes, there must be a snake near Mishui, and Mrs. Trouble immediately sent someone there to buy a snake." ”

Qianqin wanted to contradict Xu You, and said, "Even if there is, it's not so easy to buy......"

"Is there anything you can't buy under a lot of money?" Xu You looked at Zhan Wenjun, she had been bowing her head and pondering, without saying a word, which was very different from the character she had shown before, and she was a little suspicious in her heart, and said, "It's just that this matter needs to be done in secret, not publicly." What does Madame think? ”

Zhan Wenjun raised his head and said, "The snake is easy to find, this matter is not difficult." It's just that if Xu Langjun plans to paint it with white paint, I'm afraid that in front of everyone's eyes, someone will inevitably see that something is wrong......

The sentence "Han has lacquer, Xi has chestnut" in "The Book of Songs: Qin Feng" has pushed the history of China's use of lacquer to advance thousands of years. After the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties, and even the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the lacquer process advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching an unimaginable level. The technology of white paint is the most simple and practical, durable, not afraid of moisture, not fading, really painted the snake as a white snake, unless you catch it and take a closer look at it, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

Xu You's eyes lit up and said, "Madame, is there a better way?" ”

He vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't believe that it could be so coincidental. Zhan Wenjun nodded and said, "Three years ago, my uncle went to Zisi Jin in Badong County, Yizhou to transport Sanwu, got lost on the way, and stayed overnight in a place with wonderful landscapes. It was the night lightning and thunder, the stream suddenly swelled, and many people were killed, only the uncle led two hearts to move to the high place of the mountain forest to take refuge, but inadvertently found a white snake inhabiting the grass......"

"Huh?"

It was Baihua who made a surprised voice, and Qianqin beside her also looked incredible, and even Wan Qi, who was as cold as frost, frowned inadvertently.

Even they don't know about it!

In the world before Xu You crossed over, the white snake of the Rock Country of the Neon Country inherited the mutated genes of the white snake through advanced technological means and became a kind of white snake that can be artificially cultivated. Others, as long as they pay attention to current affairs and news, will remember the white snake that was struck by lightning in Hebei, as well as the white python in a group in Langxia Town, Jinshan District, and the albinism snakes found in the snake breeding base are even more numerous.

By analogy, even if there is no special snake farm at this time, the number of individuals of the white snake should not be too rare, but there are too many places in ancient times that humans cannot reach, and the information circulation is in a closed state, even if there are people in the villages and fields in some deep mountains and old forests to find the white snake, it is difficult to spread to the civilized world.

Therefore, with Guo Mian's huge financial resources, he still has to travel around the country from time to time, and it is not inconceivable to really encounter the White Snake!

Xu You was overjoyed and said, "This is even better!" Dare to ask Madame, this white snake is still alive, right? Does anyone know about this? ”

Zhan Wenjun shook his head and said, "There were only two heart-wrenching Qu who were present that night, and all of them were strictly ordered not to leak the matter of the White Snake to anyone. So in the past three years, the white snake has been kept in a hidden house in Mingyu Mountain, thirty miles away from Qiantang, and no one can see it except my uncle and me. “

Xu You laughed and said: "From this, it can be seen that Providence is on Madame's side, and Ren Du Jingzhi is as treacherous as a ghost, and he also wants to drink Madame's ...... Uh, if the white snake is allowed to appear, it won't cause Guo Gong to be angry, right? When he said this, he remembered that the woman's feet were also private, and the man drank the foot-washing water, which was undoubtedly openly flirtatious, so he swallowed it back in time.

Zhan Wenjun said resolutely: "In times of crisis, you can't even protect yourself, why not a snake?" ”

"Okay, that's it. Next, the lady needs to find twenty literate people who are eloquent, speak clearly, and can be controlled. After finding them, gather them together in a remote house, prohibit them from entering and leaving, and wait for me to arrange them. ”

Qianqin couldn't stand Xu Youyi's commanding appearance, and snorted coldly: "What does it mean to be controllable?" ”

Xu You smiled and didn't answer, he wouldn't be embarrassed by a little girl. He Wei was not as good at talking as him, and said: "If you have a family, you are greedy for money, or you are afraid of death, these people can be controlled." ”

Qianqin immediately asked, "What kind of control method?" ”

"If you have a family, you can coerce you with your family; greedy for money, you can use wealth **; Afraid of death, the natural sword adds to the neck. Do you think it's okay to be in such control? ”

Qianqin said disdainfully: "He Langjun acts so viciously, how did he read the sage book?" ”

Zhan Wenjun stood up and said, "If you are open-mouthed and wantonly humiliate distinguished guests, then don't follow me anymore." Baihua, tomorrow I will go to find a home, marry her and go out! ”

Baihua smiled and said, "No! Sister, do you like the white and pure Langjun, or do you like the honest and honest farmer? ”

Qianqin glared at Baihua, hurriedly knelt down, and prostrate on the ground, not daring to make a sound. Zhan Wenjun walked in front of Xu You, made a big salute with both hands, and said, "Give me a day, and respect Xu Langjun's orders!" ”

Back in the wing room on the second floor, the three of them sat opposite each other, and Zuo Yan said suspiciously: "Why is Guo Mian so nervous about discovering about the White Snake?" Not only is it not publicized to the outside world, but it is hidden so tightly. It is said that the white snake is a spiritual creature, and it is either to repay auspiciousness and dedicate it to the Lord and seek a reward, or to raise it in a family house and become famous in Wudi. I see Guo Mian swaggering through the market on a golden boat, not like such a weak person. ”

Xu You smiled: "What Fenghu said is not bad, but it is a little less. ”

"Wanglangjun teaches!"

Xu You looked at He Wei and said, "Come on!" ”

He Wei sneered: "It's not simple? Guo Miancun's mind is much greater than fame and fortune. If it is not bad as expected, he is waiting for the day when he can sacrifice the white snake to the king of Jiangxia. ”

Zuo Yan was even more puzzled, and said: "Isn't Guo Mian very close to King Jiangxia?" If you really want to sacrifice snakes, you could have done it three years ago, so why wait? ”

"He's waiting, it's the situation! Don't forget, Han Gaozu killed the white snake and had the world's ......"

Zuo Yan understood, and before he had time to express his surprise, He Wei turned to Xu You and said: "Qilang, if it was just a guess before, with the White Snake, it is enough to see Guo Mian's ambitions. And he is the humerus of King Jiangxia, and his ambition is just a continuation of King Jiangxia's ambition. Therefore, this time, this God-given opportunity, we must rescue the Zhan family from the tiger's mouth and make friends with Guo Mian! ”

Xu You stretched lazily and said, "Do you know what the people of Jiangdong love the most?" ”

He Zuo and the others shook their heads in unison.

"It's a ghost!"
