34. Truth and treacherous schemes
Wei Huadun didn't think about it, Dayi jumped out of the window, and Di Jun stood at the window and looked at Dayi's departing back, his eyebrows solemn.
Ah Wolf asked, "Captain, what now?" β
What she meant: Dayi's combat power is amazing, very tricky, and it is difficult to investigate in depth, but he should be able to ask for some clues from Di Jun.
In fact, Wei Huadun had also considered this method just now, but he shook his head and vetoed the idea, and said: "Grasp the key and keep an eye on Dayi, so as not to cause extraneous branches." β

Tracking all the way, the five of them arrived at a wide and vast wilderness after four in front of each other.
It was late at night, Dayi stopped hurrying, lit a bonfire, fished, roasted, and fell asleep on the spot.
Wei Huadun and Ah Wolf tried to approach Dayi twice, but each time Dayi would notice the slightest movement in time and open his eyes, very alert. Fortunately, Wei Huadun and Ah Wolf were well prepared and used some wild small animals as a cover-up, so they were not discovered, but they could only go back and make plans again.
Following.
"Get up, wake up, don't sleep." A wolf is calling Zhuang Meng out of sleep with his feet.
Zhuang Meng lazily complained: "Oh, it's not dawn yet, let me sleep for a while, I'm going to be tired to death these days." β
"The sky is falling! You still count on the dawn, and if you don't get up, you'll never want to look at the sun! β
Zhuang Meng was so frightened that he immediately jumped up and was in good spirits~ "What's the situation?" Turning his head, he didn't see Wei Huadun and Luoluo, "What about the two of them?" As he spoke, he noticed something abnormal, looked up again, and saw the thunderclouds covering the sky overhead, Zhuang Meng couldn't help grinning and complaining: "Oh my God~ Why is it raining again?" Sick of it! β
Wei Huadun accompanied Luoluo back from the bushes a little farther away, without the slightest intention of sitting down: "Let's go, Dayi has already left." β
This time, Dayi's speed was much slower than before, as if he had something on his mind.
Ah Wolf looked at the [multi-function watch], it was noon at the moment, but it was dark, under the dark clouds, the air pressure was low and dull.
In the darkness, Wei Huadun and Ah Wolf vaguely felt that the terrain was a little strange, but they couldn't tell what was strange: basically there would be a wide pothole as soon as they took a break in the road.
It wasn't until they came to a pile of rocks that Da Yi had just squatted down to inspect that they were surprised to find that those piles of rubble of different sizes were mixed with a large number of white bones! Among them, there are various types of bones, including cattle, deer, wild boars, and people...... There are even elephants!
"It's ...... Who did it?! β
Luoluo's frightened doubts are also the questions of Wei Huadun and Ah Wolf, but there is no answer.
However, Zhuang Meng was stunned......
"You've found something, right?" Luoluo was the first to notice Zhuang Meng's reaction, and Wei Huadun and Ah Wolf also stood up and turned their heads to look at him.
I only heard Zhuang Meng say with a smile: "I know who did this...... I also know what Dayi is going to do!! β¦β¦β
"[Snake Repair]?! ββββ" Wei Huadun and the three of them were also taken aback when they heard it.
Snake repair, also known as: Ba snake. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness North Classic" contains: "There is a country of Pakistan in the southwest, with black snakes, green heads, and elephant food. "Huainanzi Benjing Training" also has an account of "Dayi cutting and repairing the snake". During the Warring States Period, the famous patriotic poet and politician of Chu [Qu Yuan] wrote "Chu Ci Tianwen": "A snake swallows an elephant, and it is so big", which also refers to the cultivation of snakes.
Wei Hua Dun mouth plug opened!
"Dayi was ordered by Yao to get rid of the snake and track it all the way to the territory of the Ba people. If you want to start fighting here, you naturally have to say hello to Di Jun first. But due to the relationship between the two alliances, Dayi will obviously have a lot of trouble going to see the Emperor in public, and he will have to go through many procedures, and the destructive power of repairing the snake is too strong, and the stakes are very high. Admire, admire! β
Ah Wolf also understood: "At the beginning of the difficulty, in that valley jungle, I smelled a very strong smell of rotting bones, but I was in a hurry to track down Dayi, so I didn't check carefully. Now that I think about it, in that jungle, the ridiculously long winding depression is the trace left by the snake crawling! β
As he spoke, Ah Wolf turned to look at the road he came, frowned, and said, "It's the same as what we saw when we came...... Those regular wide and long potholes that will appear every other way are also the crawling traces of snakes! β
Boom! ββββ thunder shook the sky loudly, and lightning shimmered in the darkness.
Looking back, I saw that on the vast and vast wilderness when I came, there were unusually huge snake cultivation scars with nine bends and eighteen bends, connecting the two ends of this heaven and earth as far as the eye could see!
Luo Luo sat on the ground with a puff, frightened and discolored, and Sakura muttered with a small mouth: "This is also ...... Too...... It's big......"
"This is not the most terrible ......" Zhuang Meng showed a discoloration that was not his daughter-in-law and was not distressed~ but he was scared~ and frightened in a strange tone: "Snake cultivation can swallow elephants in one bite!" It's taller than an average mountain! None of this is a ......."
"It's taller than a mountain??" Wei Huadun turned into a Q version of the second cargo face, tilted his cheeks and pondered to himself: "It seems that I have heard something similar somewhere......"
Ah Wolf rolled his eyes helplessly and replied, "Teeth! When I pushed the cart with you, the tooth said. β
Zhuang Meng continued to be frightened and said, "I heard...... The venom spewed out by the snake is like sulfuric acid, which will slowly corrode people little by little, and you will watch your skin, flesh and blood slowly fall off layer by layer, followed by internal organs and bones...... The level of pain will make you want to die immediately!! Even more terrifying is the snake's eyes, if you look into its eyes, you will fall into a hallucination, kill all your dearest friends one by one in the most cruel way, and finally cut off your own flesh piece by piece......"
"Ahh - Luoluo covered his ears and cried: "Don't say it! βββ
Boom! Wei Huadun shook a big bag on Zhuangmeng's head, "Dare to scare my baby, look for death~"
Ah Wolf naturally knew that Zhuang Meng was deliberately talking nonsense to scare Luoluo, and said boringly: "Cultivating snakes is so terrifying~ Is there still nine heads, the voice is like a baby, it can breathe fire and spit water, it is also called 'Baqi Snake'~ Hey~"
Zhuang Meng covered the big bag on his head, immediately turned into a serious face, and replied with serious anger: "That's not snake cultivation, that's [Nine Infants]!" β
"Huainanzi Benjing Training" contains: "Nine infants, the monster of water and fire, are harmful to people, and there is fierce water in the land." It is also included in the "ZHONG Hua Idiom Allusion Dictionary" and the "ZHONG National Myth and Legend Dictionary" compiled by Mr. [Yuan Ke]. According to legend, the snake cultivator is a hydra-body giant monster that crawled out of a thousand zhang river in the north, which can breathe fire and spit water, which is a disaster...... Dayi was ordered by Yao to get rid of it.
Every time it comes to something related to the honor or disgrace or authenticity of Chinese civilization, Zhuang Meng will be very excited.
"What 'Baqi Snake'......" Zhuang Meng pouted: "That's the product of a certain country mixing up the two legendary creatures of 'Snake Cultivation' and 'Nine Infants'!" Just like some of their well-known anime, the 'Dragon Ball, Shenlong, Monkey King, Bull Demon King, Turtle Immortal ......', 'Cat Demon, Nine-Tailed Fox, Six Immortals' ......and so on, etc., a lot of content is borrowed from our traditional Chinese culture! β
"If you borrow it, you can borrow it, and the name is called wrong!" 'Ba Snake' is another name for Da Yi after 'Ba Di' got rid of [Snake Repair] in later generations. Shh ~ There are always some people who are willing to do that thing of covering their ears and stealing the bell, thinking that changing the name will really become their own original thing? I'm bah~"
Ah Wolf hurriedly waved his hand and smiled embarrassedly: "I know, I know, don't be so excited~"
"Whew~" Zhuang Meng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, rolled his eyes and thought about it and said: "When I first crossed here, I heard about the 'Dayi Removal of Nine Infants' in Meng's memory, and I always thought it was a legend...... After such a trip with you, it seems that the legend may not be groundless! Although it is possible that it may be exaggerated by false rumors, there must be that kind of archetypal creature as well......"
Wei Huadun turned into the Q version of the second face again, tilted his head and pondered to himself: "A big monster that can breathe fire and spit water...... Where have you heard of this......? β
The wolf's eyes are almost gone~ "Teeth! Tooth! Tooth! It's all the potters who have pushed the cart with you, Ya said! What kind of memory do you have~"
"It's not important~" Wei Huadun put his arm around Zhuang Meng's shoulders and asked with a smile: "Tell me, as far as you know, how capable is that snake cultivator?" β
Zhuang Meng scratched his head: "This ...... How can I explain it? β
"Then what do you think, how does the strength of snake cultivation compare with Zhu Yan and Jin Crow?"
"Zhu Yan is not a heavyweight at all~" Zhuang Meng thought about it carefully, and said: "As for the golden crow...... I think it's probably a little more powerful, right? After all, in the historical materials, there is no detailed record of the snake repair, except that it has a huge body and can swallow elephants. β
"Good~Good~Good~~Wonderful~Wonderful~Wonderful~~" Wei Huadun squinted his eyes and rubbed his palms, a little happy.
Luoluo knew at a glance that Wei Huadun had made up some crooked idea again, just like when he was preparing his speech~ So, he asked a little worriedly: "Ah Dun, do you want to ......?"
Sure enough, it was the same as Luoluo's understanding of Wei Huadun......
Wei Huadun bared his teeth and smiled evilly: "Since that snake cultivator has no other abilities except for its large body, it shouldn't pose any threat to us. 'The enemy of the enemy is a friend~' We can take advantage of Dayi's confrontation with Xiu Snake ~~, and find an opportunity to sneak attack him! Then cross the river and demolish the bridge~~ backhand slap the snake to death! β
He said more proudly, humming a little song, as if singing and singing: "Two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone; The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind; Let them fight with each other first, and we will benefit from the fishermen later; Arrest him, a historical criminal!
