In the middle of April, the weather was supposed to get hotter, but this year the weather was cloudy and sunny - a few days of rain made people feel cold, after the rain suddenly became hot and dry, and then a few days it became cold again. After tossing and turning like this a few times, Shizhu developed a high fever, and the eggs could be cooked in his arms.

Lao Shi and Shi Yu were so anxious that the two took Shi Zhu to see Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and used a lot of local methods, and even went to Lao Daizhuang to see the witch doctor - that is the famous local "fairy milk", she burned a spirit rune, and then put the ashes into a bowl of water to feed Shi Zhu to drink, but no matter what method was used, Shi Zhu's condition never improved, and he was groggy all day.

On this day, just when the old couple were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Lao Shi suddenly received a telegram from the county postman, saying that it was taken from Jinan, Shandong. The countrymen had only heard of the telegram, but they had never seen it, and there were only a few words on the telegram: Chen Hao sent a letter to Xi Xi to see the clouds.

After reading it, the old stone already knew the meaning of the telegram, so he casually asked the postman: "This thing is quite expensive, isn't it?" ”

The postman said, "Yes, it's not cheap, it's all by the number of words!" I sent it yesterday, and I was afraid of delaying things, so I hurriedly sent it. ”

When Lao Shi met Feng Qingyun later, he realized that the letter he sent arrived in Feng Qingyun's hands for almost thirty days - this is not surprising, the letter was not sent directly from Haizhou to Jining, but first to Nanjing, Jiangsu, and then from Nanjing to Jinan, Shandong, and finally to Jining, after all, this is an inter-provincial letter from Jiangsu to Shandong, and it is also a long-distance journey. Feng Qingyun was afraid that it would be too late to reply after receiving the letter, so he hurriedly took a telegram to inform Lao Shi that he had received a reply.

After sending off the postman, Lao Shi said to Shi Yushi: "Seeing that the departure time is about to come, but the pillar is still not good, it is really urgent!" Shi Yu looked at the stone pillar and sighed: "Which one said no, it's really urgent!" ”

I heard that my grandfather was going to catch the python, and almost a month ago, Shizhu shouted that he wanted to go together, but the old stone was worried about the danger in case of danger, so he didn't agree to anything. Seeing the telegram from the postman today, Shi Zhu didn't care about the fever, as if he had the energy in an instant, he sat up from the bed and shouted to go. Shi Yushi said: "If you want to go, you have to wait until you are cured before you can do it, you ...... like this" Before he finished speaking, Shi Zhu stood up, "Really? I feel like it's fine now! The old couple looked at each other, and the sadness on their faces was not less.

Early the next morning, no one could tell the reason, and the high fever that Shi Zhu, which had made Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and witch doctors helpless, really subsided, and the disease was cured. The old couple was naturally happy, thinking that this might be the will of heaven, so they agreed to take the stone pillar with them. Now that Shi Zhu is gone, Shi Yu's family will naturally go with him.

Shizhu has an uncle named Zhu Guanglian, the youngest in the family, and Shizhu's mother Zhu Guanghua are twins, and the two were born one minute apart. According to Zhu Guanglian's later recollection, when he was out of the mother's womb, he was originally in front, but he was dragged back by his sister, and he also rolled up his sleeves and showed people the evidence - a red birthmark one centimeter long, "This is the red mark she left when she pulled my shoulder." No one could come up with direct evidence to refute Zhu Guanglian's statement, so they believed his statement.

Zhu Guanglian did not study for a few days, but his mind is more flexible, when he just grew his Adam's apple, he followed the villagers to go to sea to fish, and later Haizhou Dapu Port was opened to the outside world, he knew that this was an opportunity, so he decided not to go to sea, and went to the port to help people load and unload goods. Not to mention, this Dapu Port is indeed full of merchant ships coming and going every day, and he saw the opportunity again, got a warehouse, and hired a few people for people to stack and turn over goods. In particular, two years ago, the Longhai Railway was built to Xinpu, and then connected to Dapu, which made Dapu Port an important outlet to the sea in the Central Plains. Xinpu and Dapu rely on each other, and the river-sea intermodal transport develops like wings, and there are countless merchant ships of all sizes coming and going every day, and there are even more flags that cannot be distinguished which country it is.

Zhu Guanglian and his twin sister have had a very good relationship since childhood, and since his sister Zhu Guanghua left, he has loved his nephew Shizhu even more. Hearing that the Shi family was going to go far away and that his nephew had a fever, he put down his work and rode a big horse over to take a look, and when he saw that everything was fine, he was relieved. By the way, he gave the old stone some oceans in the name of giving it to his nephew, which was regarded as a coil on the road. The old stone didn't shirk either, but said to the stone pillar: "When you grow up, you have to return this money to your uncle!" ”

Zhu Guanglian asked the old stone: "How do you plan to go to Mangdang Mountain this time?" ”

The old stone said: "The pillar is still small and can't go far, so we plan to pull the flat car from Xinpu to the west, let him sit on it, and his grandmother and I can take turns pulling it." ”

Zhu Guanglian thought for a while and said, "In this way, I'll lend you the horse first, and treat it as a carriage with a flat car, and save some leg strength." You can walk along the Longhai line to Xuzhou. Just be careful on the road, there is a war going on between the south and the north, and I heard in the port that there are bandits on the road! ”

Shi Yu hurriedly said: "How can this be done? You see, you've given so much ocean, how can you use your horse again? ”

Zhu Guanglian replied: "Grandma Zhu, this horse is lent to you, you can return it to me when the time comes, but you can't starve it on the road!" After saying that, several adults laughed. Shi Zhu didn't know what the adults were laughing at, and he was happy.

Lao Shi estimated that with this carriage starting from Haizhou, it would take four or five days at most to reach Xuzhou, but with a child, they were afraid that the road would be delayed, so they set off on the twenty-fifth day.

On the twenty-nineth, the three of Lao Shi successfully arrived in Xuzhou, and after inquiry, they went to Pengzu Temple. At noon the next day, Lao Shi saw from a distance two people, an old man and a young man, coming on horseback, and the man in front of him was dark-skinned and his eyes were bright. Although more than 20 years have passed, and there are two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, the figure Lao Shi still remembers, and he can see at a glance that it is Feng Qingyun, but the girl in her twenties behind does not know who it is, and the two snake teeth hanging on her neck are particularly conspicuous.

The people who came also recognized the old stone, and when they got off the horse, they hugged the old stone, patted each other on the shoulder, and said in a Shandong dialect: "Brother, I haven't seen you for 20 years, but I want to die!" This is my brother-in-law, right? I met once when you got married, we are old, and my brother-in-law still looks very young. ”

Feng Qingyun spoke relatively straightforwardly, and Shi Yu was a little embarrassed.

Then, Feng Qingyun pulled the people who came with him to his side, and said to Lao Shi: "This is my daughter Nizi, who was still in her mother's belly when we met last time, and this time we will take a hand together." ”

The old stone looked at the two snake teeth hanging on Nizi's neck, and knew that this girl had some skills, even if she was a girl from a snake catching family, she had been exposed to it since she was a child, and her snake catching methods were also very powerful. Feng Qingyun said just now that she was here to help, which should be a modest statement. So the old stone said: "Okay, with the help of my daughter, I will definitely be able to catch the demon snake this time and eliminate harm for the people!" ”

After that, a few people found a small restaurant on the shore of Yunlong Lake, the woman and the child ate directly, and the two men asked for two glasses of wine, and chatted while drinking.

In the afternoon, they did not rest and continued on their way. The stone pillar was noisy to ride a horse to play, just as Feng Qingyun and the old stone wanted to talk about things, so he gave Nizi's horse to the old stone to ride, and it was convenient for the two to talk while riding a horse, without one looking up and the other bowing. The old stone took the stone pillar in front of him and rode together, and Nizi sat in the carriage and became the coachman.

Feng Qingyun asked Shi Zhu first: "Zhu, how old is this year?" ”

Shi Zhu paused for a moment and said, "Well..., Daddy Feng, I'm seven years old this year!" ”

"What do you want to do when you grow up?"

Shi Zhu didn't have to think about it now, and blurted out directly: "When I grow up, I want to catch snakes, and I want to catch very big snakes." As he spoke, he gestured with his hand: "It's such a long, long snake!" ”

After hearing this, Old Stone and Feng Qingyun looked at each other, and they seemed to have sad expressions on their faces. After a long time, the old stone said: "Brother Feng, in fact, I don't want these juniors to do our business anymore. You see that the Qing Dynasty is dead, and now the emperor is no longer called the emperor, he is called the president, and it is not Lao Tzu to pass on his son, I feel that our business will end like this era after all, and I don't want to pass it on anymore. ”

Feng Qingyun also said: "Yes, in fact, I think so too." Now there are wars everywhere, and this is the kind of thing we do, if the juniors bite the bullet one day, then we will cut off the incense! ”

Here Shi Yushi also chatted with Nizi in the carriage, and she asked Nizi: "Girl, have you made a promise?" The girl clutched the snake tooth hanging from her neck and did not speak, but only drove the carriage. Shi Yu seemed to see something.

At this time, Feng Qingyun turned his head and said: "Nizi gave it to my apprentice at first, but unfortunately before they could get married, my apprentice was bitten by a rare poisonous snake when he caught the snake, and he died before he could cure it." After Nizi found out, she went alone for several days, and she caught the poisonous snake, and the two teeth belonged to the snake. Later, many people came to our house to talk about matchmaking, but Kneko just didn't agree......"

Before she could finish speaking, Nizi said, "Dad, don't talk about it, and then ignore you!" ”

Feng Qingyun saw that her daughter was unhappy, so she changed the topic and turned back to chat with Lao Shi: "Brother, your Haizhou is a good place!" But when I write the letter, I see that the place in your house is called 'get off', and the name is kind of interesting! ”

Lao Shi said: "Yes, speaking of which, this name has something to do with Emperor Qianlong. Listening to the old man, when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he passed through Haizhou, and he was tired of sitting in the dragon chariot, so he got off the car and walked for a while in our place, and the descendants called this place 'get off'. ”

Speaking of the emperor, Feng Qingyunfu asked again: "I heard that my younger brother and sister turned out to be people from the old queen's side?" ”

Shi Yushi didn't say anything when he heard this, but smiled slightly.

At this time, the old stone took over the conversation: "Let's not mention the old past, now although the Qing Dynasty is dead, but the hundred-legged insect is dead and not stiff, a few years ago, didn't someone want the Qing Emperor to continue to be a dragon chair." Now that I have the protection of the Japanese, I am afraid that if the Qing Dynasty comes back to life in the future, although your brother and sister have done this nearly thirty years ago, once they are investigated, it will also be a disaster, so I still don't mention it, and the less I know, the better. ”

Feng Qing said again: "That's!" But aren't you worried about me? After saying that, the two of them smiled.

The two chatted casually while hurrying like this, and when they talked about their past experiences, Feng Qingyun suddenly said: "Brother, do you remember that we have been to Leifeng Pagoda? I heard that Leifeng Pagoda collapsed a few years ago? I don't know where the white snake pressed inside has run to do evil again! ”

The old stone said: "Yes, Leifeng Pagoda fell the year before last. Back then, our brothers wanted to see if there was such a white snake inside, and they didn't see a shadow when they turned around, but they saw many people secretly digging a brick and taking it away. Even if there is, this white snake should repent and reform after being suppressed for more than 700 years, but pity Na Xu Xuan. You say, a good person, stunned to let this white snake spirit plague for a lifetime, otherwise, this Xu Xuan married an ordinary daughter-in-law, and he would not end up in the romance! ”

Feng Qingyun said: "Who said it wasn't! These snake demons just have bad intentions and specialize in harming the world. We didn't see the white snake demon, this time we must capture this black snake demon. ”

Shi Zhu was not happy when he heard this, and shouted: "Daddy Feng, I heard Mr. Zhang from the school say that the White Snake and Xu Xuan are both good people, and then Fahai crushed the White Snake under the Leifeng Tower, and he is a bad person." ”

When Feng Qingyun heard this, he asked, "The pillar has already gone to school?" ”

Old Shi said: "No, it's just that the pillar often goes to the school to play with other children, and plans to send him to the school to study when school starts next fall..."

As he spoke, the old stone saw that the two eyes of the stone pillar were fighting, and his mind was little by little, and it was estimated that the horse that had been sitting for so long was also sleepy, so he carried the stone pillar to the flat car and went to sleep.

After the stone pillar fell asleep, the two began to talk about business. The old stone said: "This time to catch the black snake, I plan to try it with the dragon slaying array first, and we can win the best, but if it doesn't work, we will change to the dragon slaying array." ”

Feng Qingyun said: "Well, I look at it, it is difficult for us to capture this black python alive!" This array is dead, we are alive, so let's put up a three-immortal dragon formation first. If not, we will use it as a dragon slaying array. I have snake trap powder from an old friend from Fujian here, and I will be able to use it when the time comes, just wait for the beast to enter the battle obediently. ”

The Snake Catching Tantra all pay attention to the nine major formations, one is the Dragon Array, the second is the Dragon Array, the third is the trapped Dragon Array, the fourth is the Prison Dragon Array, the fifth is the Dragon Descending Array, the sixth is the Dragon Fighting Array, the seventh is the Dragon Killing Array, the eighth is the Dragon Slaying Array, the ninth is the Annihilation Dragon Array, and of course, there is the last move: run if you can't beat it! These nine formations from the beginning of the grass to scare the snake to the end of the snake bones and ashes, one is more powerful than the other, and there are several changes due to the number of snake catchers and the equipment used.

At that time, the Dakai couple used the Yin Yang Dragon Formation in Mangdang Mountain, but the two of them were still shallow, and even if they turned the formation into a dragon slaying array and a dragon annihilation formation, they failed to capture the black python.

While the two were talking, they saw a team of soldiers coming towards them, escorting a few people, and their bodies were tightly tied. The people who were tied up were probably not of the wrong breed, and although their clothes were in tatters, they all held their heads high, looked heroic, and had extreme contempt for those who served as soldiers. The shouts of the soldiers woke up the stone pillars, and the stone pillars rubbed their eyes and looked at them, until they saw that they were out of sight before turning around.

At this time, the old stone asked, "Brother, do you know what these people do?" ”

Feng Qingyun said: "I heard that Commander Jiang in the south is arresting the communist bandits, so it is estimated that this gang is holding the communist bandits." Now the world is very chaotic, and I don't know who is beating whom, anyway, it is the common people who suffer! This battle is endless, I just hope it will be over soon......"

Shi Zhu grabbed the words again at this time and said, "Daddy Feng, what are the bandits?" Is it a bandit? I don't think these people are like bandits, they are not the same as the bandits that the storyteller talked about. ”

After hearing this, the old stone reprimanded: "What do you know about this little child, don't talk nonsense, who can still carve bandits on their heads!" ”

Feng Qingyun then said: "What the child said may not be false. Now who knows who the bandits are, it's not the guns that have the final say. Commander Chiang has a gun, he said that you are a bandit, then you are a bandit, how can we ordinary people know what the Communist Party does! ”

After chatting all the way, it was almost dark, and the group found a place to build a shed, they were used to living in the wild, Nizi lit a fire, cooked some porridge with Shi Yu's family, and Feng Qingyun went to a nearby village to sell some wine. The old stone took advantage of the fact that it was not yet completely dark and went around in the field, sure enough, it was a snake catcher, and it didn't take long to catch a few fat snakes, and after coming back, they were slaughtered a few times, and they were roasted on the fire, and the smell of meat floated out, and the stone pillar was so greedy that he shouted to gnaw a piece first.

After Feng Qingyun came back, the two men drank first. At noon, because they were in a hurry in the afternoon, neither of them drank much, which was just the right time to drink. Shi Yu and Nizi only drank a little, and after they were full, they first took Shi Zhu to sleep on the flat car. The old stone and the wind and clouds didn't know how long it would take to fall asleep, and when they opened their eyes, the sky was already bright.

This place is only forty miles away from Mangdang Mountain, and the group rushed to the foot of the mountain before it was dawn. This time, they estimated that they would stay for a few days, so they found someone to borrow a place to live at the bottom of the mountain. The head of the family is called Ji Shuzi, a young man, who looks like he is in his twenties, and he has just added a girl to the family, who is not yet three months old. In addition, Ji Shuzi's mother-in-law also lives together, and there is no one else. When the young man heard that they had come to catch the black snake, he didn't say a word, but gladly agreed to borrow it.

Old Stone and Feng Qingyun went to the town office as usual to log in. Although they are here to take revenge, if they really capture the black snake, they still have to ask for this reward.

The little officer who received him looked at the two old men and said, "There are two more who are not afraid of death, I'm afraid there will be no return!" ”

The two of them didn't say anything, and went back after completing the formalities. In the afternoon, they took Nizi to the mountain for a walk, the yin and yang gossip array used by the Dakai couple had long since disappeared, and some later people were swallowed before they even figured out the location of the black python, and several people could only find the black python nest again.

The old stone took out the gossip plate, and Feng Qingyun and Nizi first used it to find the location of the snake's den, but the three of them checked everywhere and couldn't find where the hole was. At this time, Nizi reminded: "My father, don't you have snake trapping powder?" When the time comes, we don't have to look for it ourselves, the thing will come out on its own. ”

Feng Qingyun laughed at this time: "Look at me, forget about this in a hurry, let's put up the dragon formation tomorrow, and officially catch the snake on the third day of the day after tomorrow."

Early the next morning, the three of them went to the mountain again, and set up a zigzag dragon array, arranged in an equilateral triangle, with three pieces of wood on each corner, and the wood on the outer edge was nailed with thorns along one direction, so that the snake could only go around to one side, and if it was reversed, those thorns would pierce into the snake's body, and the skin would be opened. In the middle of the array, three more stakes, all half a man high, were separated by an arm's length between them, and a man could walk through them. At that time, the three of them relied on this stake to repel the snake in the array, so that the three logs in the middle did not have nails and thorns, so as not to hurt themselves.

Although this formation seems simple, this time they are fighting in three people, and the power of using this formation cannot be underestimated. When Feng Qingyun and the old stone caught the giant python in Jinan, the dragon array was a spiral array, with a total of three layers inside and outside, and a sheep was put in the middle as bait, the array was an unmanned array, and it took too much effort to put it up, but it was really powerful, as long as the big snake went in around the spiral, don't think about it, and the snake would be directly scraped by those thorns as soon as it turned around. The black python in Mangdang Mountain has some demonic skills, and it will definitely not work with the unmanned array, so they don't have to bother to set up that complicated array.

On the third day of the new year, the three of them brought all the guys and sprinkled some realgar and sulfur on the edge of the dragon formation, and Feng Qingyun took out the snake trap powder and sprinkled it in the center of the array. The things sent by old friends in Fujian really worked, after a while, black smoke came out of the cracks in the stones on the mountain in front of the formation, a bag of cigarettes was less than time, and the black smoke covered half of the mountain, and then a few stones rolled down, revealing the snake hole, and the black python poked its head out of the hole.

The black python still circled around the formation a few times first, and the three of them immediately led the snake into the formation and dealt with the snake head together. After fighting for a while, the three of them couldn't take advantage of it, and it was really not easy to capture the black python, so they discussed letting Nizi deal with the snake tail, and Lao Shi and Feng Qingyun dealt with the snake head and snake seven inches respectively.

The seven-inch peachwood sword of the old stone family was not recovered, and this time Feng Qingyun brought the ancestral thorn dragon dagger, but anyone who touches human blood will definitely be able to kill demons. Feng Qingyun made a cut on his finger with a dagger, and the dagger was stained with blood and immediately glowed with golden light, and the fog in front of him was dispelled, and the demon python was shaken by the light in front of him, and also turned his head to dodge.

Feng Qingyun saw that the timing was just right, and directly plunged a dagger into the seven inches, and this time the demon python was beaten half to death and collapsed to the ground. The old stone stabbed the snake's head with a sword, and Nizi was even more energetic, directly cutting off a section of the snake's tail. This demon python turned red again and came back to life after a while, but the power of the thorny dragon dagger was too great, even if this guy had a thousand years of Taoism, it would be difficult to defeat it. This demon python knew that the three people in front of him were not trivial, so he could only use all his strength to spit out a burst of gray poisonous mist, choking the three old stones enough, and this guy also took the opportunity to abandon his tail and slipped into the hole.

After the black fog on the mountain gradually dissipated, a few people looked at the entrance of the cave, and they didn't dare to enter it for the time being, so they planned to go back and bring some guys to break into the snake cave again, and they were sure to catch this demon python.

The three of them walked out for a while, only to see Shi Yushi hurriedly running up the mountain, and the old stone hurriedly asked what happened.

Shi Yushi was so anxious that tears rolled in his eyes, "Did you see the pillar coming up the mountain?" Just now the people under the mountain saw him come up by himself..."

This time, the old stone was also in a hurry, so he asked Feng Qingyun and Nizi to go down the mountain first, and he looked for it nearby. Feng Qingyun saw that how could he go down the mountain, it was still important to find someone, in case the pillar was swallowed by the snake again, then I really don't know if my brother could hold on.

Looking at Shi Zhu again, this morning, he saw his father going up the mountain with Feng Qingyun and Nizi, and he also wanted to go up to play, so he secretly went up the mountain when Shi Yu was not paying attention. When the three people on the mountain and the demon python were in the middle of a fierce battle, the black mist had already filled the mountain road, and the stone pillar felt that it was fun to go up the mountain, but now he was completely lost, and he didn't know where he was. He was crawling on the mountain, and suddenly the soil under his feet collapsed and fell directly, but fortunately, the jade pendant around his neck hung on the branch of the tree, so he did not fall to the ground. The stone pillar climbed up with all his might, and then lay on it motionless. It wasn't until the fog in the mountain cleared that the stone pillar saw a black python coiled under the tree, which was the guy who had just been injured in a vicious fight with the old stone three.

The stone pillar screamed in fright, and the demon python looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a child lying on a tree, which was simply here to die. In fact, this snake cave was originally open-air, but this demon python made an enchantment to cover the top of the cave, so that outsiders could not see it, and this guy sealed the entrance of the cave, so ordinary snake catchers could not find where it was. But today, the guy was seriously injured, and the barrier no longer worked, and the stone pillar fell with the thin soil on it. When the demon python heard a shout from the stone pillar, it instantly became energetic, and it jumped up to swallow the stone pillar, but its seven inches were seriously injured, although it was only a little bit high to be able to reach the stone pillar, but it was difficult to jump up a little higher.

The Shi family is also a family of five generations of snake catchers, although Shizhu has not formally apprenticed, but the old stone is used to bring him some ancestral snake exterminators, just in case. At this time, the stone pillar reacted, whether it was useful or not, and threw it into the snake's mouth first. The snake's mouth was already open to swallow the stone pillar, but the stone pillar didn't need to aim, as soon as he let go, the snake killer fell into the snake's mouth.

The demon python had swallowed the wide-open Snake Exterminator a few years ago, and this time, the Snake Exterminator naturally couldn't hurt it. Seeing that guy jumping higher and higher, it seemed that he would soon be able to reach the stone pillar, and the stone pillar was just a child anyway, and he was so frightened that he actually peed his pants.

It may be that there is a fixed number in the underworld, or that there is a thing in this world, although this snake exterminator is soaked in vinegar for seven hundred and forty-nine days, but the old Shi family never knew that if you want to really exert your power, you have to add a child's urine soak to kill the snake. Unexpectedly, the stone pillar was frightened by this, and the urine just dripped into the mouth of the demon python, and the demon python couldn't resist this power, only to see a white light flash out of his stomach, and the guy fell to the ground in response, his soul was scattered, and only his nose could still gasp.

Although Shi Zhu saw that the snake had fallen to the ground, he was still scared in his heart, and cried and shouted to find his father and grandmother.

The people outside heard the cry coming from the entrance of the cave, and saw that there was light at the entrance of the cave, and the old stone didn't care about the danger, so he asked Shi Yu to stay outside the cave, and he picked up his sword and drilled into the hole, and Feng Qingyun and Nizi followed in.

After drilling for less than ten feet, the three of them arrived at the cave, and the barrier above had been opened, and the cave seemed to have suddenly opened up, and all kinds of bones could be seen everywhere inside. The old stone saw that the demon python was lying on the ground and still panting, so he directly stepped forward and raised the sword, brushed and chopped it down, the snake head fell to the ground in response, and the demon python was finally killed.

Nizi climbed up the tree and hugged the stone pillar down, and everyone heard the stone pillar say that the rear only knew the reason, and the stone pillar was hit by mistake, otherwise they didn't know how to catch the demon python. The old stone looked the stone pillar up and down, and saw that the stone pillar was only scratched by a branch on his head, plus a little abrasion on his body, and the rest was fine, so he was relieved. Then he shouted at the entrance of the cave, reassuring Shi Yu.

At this time, Nizi pointed to the front and asked, "Dad, what do you think it is?" ”

Feng Qingyun and the old stone looked in the direction of their fingers, and saw a wooden sword over there. Feng Qingyun said: "Brother, look, isn't that your seven-inch peachwood sword?" The old stone said, "Exactly!" I brought it to Dakai and his daughter-in-law six years ago, but I didn't expect to be able to find it again in a few years, but my son and daughter-in-law will never come back...... Today I finally avenged them! As he spoke, he burst into tears, and after Feng Qingyun persuaded him, the old stone calmed down.

Everyone dragged the demon python's corpse out of the cave together, the old stone was carried in front, holding the snake's head in his hand, Nizi, Feng Qingyun and Shi Yushi were behind in turn, and the four of them carried the snake to the bottom of the mountain. The stone pillar dragged the severed snake tail and followed everyone to the bottom of the mountain.

The villagers under the mountain saw that the demon snake was finally killed, and they all beat gongs and drums to tell each other, and some people actually set off firecrackers, which was more lively than the festival. This demon python has plagued the people here for many years, and today it was finally beheaded, in this chaotic day, this is indeed a great joy for the people. When the people from the surrounding villages heard about this, they also rushed over to see if the monster had three heads and six arms, and those whose family members, relatives or friends had been swallowed by the snake were eager to go up and step on it a few times, peel off its skin, and eat its flesh to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

Feng Qingyun said to everyone at this time: "We have to bring this snake to the town first, show it to the official, and issue a notice!" What to do after that is up to everyone. Everyone said yes. So a few bold young men spontaneously carried the snake and went straight to the town office, and the procession was mighty.
