The crowd didn't know what the chief meant by these words, but seeing that the Taoist chief didn't explicitly refuse, they looked at each other and said no more.

Yang Congyi was excited in his heart, calmed down a little, and suddenly said: "The Taoist chief's words are really the most reasonable in the world, and I have benefited a lot. I don't know if the kid is fateful, can he worship under the Taoist Chief's door? "When you have finished speaking, you have to salute.

Yang Congyi's sudden blurted out words of apprenticeship surprised Daochang Zheng, and he hurriedly stopped him, and then replied: "No, poor Dao and his disciples are cultivating in the mountains and wilderness, and they have no fixed place to live, no door and no sect, and now they have decided to go down the mountain and travel all over the world, and they should be unlucky." ”

Yang Congyi wanted to apprentice, but it was also a momentary thought in his heart, but when he saw that the Taoist chief refused, he gave up, and replied with a slightly low expression: "That's the kid who has no chance." ”

Who knew that Zheng Daochang said again: "The donor doesn't have to be like this, since he agrees with my Tao, he should be a fellow Taoist, the mountains and the earthly world are all places of cultivation, and there is no need to be stubborn. ”

Zheng Daochang saw that Yang Congyi was very different from others, his temperament, words and deeds, much better than others, he had a good impression of Yang Congyi, and he was willing to say a few more words to him.

Yang Congyi smiled slightly after hearing this, and gave another salute, and Zheng Daochang's master and apprentice returned the salute.

"Before, we didn't know awe, so we had such a scourge of snakes besieged, and we don't know if there is a way to save it?" Yang Congyi saw that the snakes did not retreat, and he was very uneasy.

Daoist Zheng did not reply to Yang Congyi immediately, but instructed the young female Daoist beside him with his back to the snakes: "Qingchen, take a piece of snake repellent talisman paper." ”

I saw that the female Taoist took off the package behind her, took out a yellow rune paper from it, turned sideways and called "Master", and handed the rune paper over.

Daochang Zheng turned his head to look at his apprentice, with a slight look of disappointment in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, I saw Zheng Daochang's wrist flipped, and with a flick of his fingers, the rune paper quickly floated towards the snakes, and suddenly began to burn a zhang away, and turned into ashes when it floated into the forest.

Everyone was amazed and full of anticipation, and after waiting for a while, although the snakes moved, they did not see any signs of retreat, and their faces could not help showing a look of disappointment.

But Yang Congyi found that Zheng Daochang's face was solemn, and he knew that the situation was not good.

"Dust up, get two more." Zheng Daochang thought about it for a while, and then commanded again.

Qingchen Dao Chang took out two more yellow rune papers from his bag and handed them to the master sideways.

Zheng Daochang took the rune paper, and after some recitation, he popped out the two rune papers in the direction of the snakes. The rune paper spontaneously combusted, drifted into the forest and turned into ashes, and disappeared.

After a short time, I saw the trees in the forest in front of me vibrating, the branches and leaves swaying, and I saw a group of snakes in a mess, quickly rolling and dodging to the left and right, as if there was a behemoth pressing the realm.

Seeing the snakes moving so unusually, everyone immediately panicked, not knowing what terrifying things would come out, and nervously retreated behind the stone cliff.

Daoist Zheng signaled Yang Congyi to retreat, then handed the dust in his hand to Daoist Qingchen, took off the long sword from behind his back, slowly pulled out the long sword, held the sword in his hand, and looked at the forest.

Yang Congyi was also frightened in his heart, but the snake venom was not clear, so he didn't dare to be strong, so he took a few steps back and stared at the three-foot-wide road that the snakes had let out. The group of snakes gave way to such a wide road, I don't know what kind of monster will come out of the forest, is it really a snake fairy?

Zheng Daochang held a sword alone, standing on the edge of the cliff, facing forward, motionless, as steady as Mount Tai. Everyone stood behind, holding their breath, not daring to speak, not even daring to come out.

In a few breaths, I heard a "hissing" sound in my ears, coming from the forest, and the sound was extremely clear. Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

After a few more breaths, with a "hissing" sound that was getting closer and closer, suddenly a snake's head as big as a sieve stretched out of the forest.

I saw that the head of the snake was a foot high from the ground, and there was a scarlet snake crown on the huge snake head, the snake crown was a foot high, and the snake letter more than one meter long was swallowed outside, and it was making a "hiss" sound, and the two narrow eyes, glowing with green light, stared straight at the stone cliff, and slowly swam forward.

Everyone had never seen such a huge snake, and they were so frightened that they turned around and ran, far away from the edge of the stone cliff, not daring to look back.

Yang Congyi's heart was also shocked at this moment, seeing this python like this, I was afraid that he was really going to cultivate into refinement, the light emitted by those eyes was cold and abnormal, and a glance at each other made his whole body cold, and he was infinitely frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at it again.

I saw Zheng Daochang's wrist flip, pulled a few sword flowers, pointed the sword at the big snake, and said sharply: "Evil animal, it is not easy for you to cultivate in the mountains, and now that the catastrophe is coming, don't leave quickly!" ”

The big snake swam forward again, stopped three feet away from the stone cliff, and then stood up, flush with the stone cliff, staring at the stone cliff with its long narrow eyes, spitting red letters, and the sound of "hissing" was endless.

"All things are born and die, and they have their own cause and effect. A few small snakes, today are not ending in their hands, and he will also be destroyed in the mouths of fierce birds and beasts one day, this is the way of nature. How can it be regarded as a personal vendetta! Zheng Daochang said sharply to the big snake.

The serpent shook its head and spat out the letter, and there was another "hiss" sound.

"You have been cultivating in the mountains for a hundred years, and there will be tens of thousands of descendants and thousands of dead and wounded. If you want them to pay for their lives today, then the poor way should ask, before this, why did the people on the mountain leave in a hurry, don't you know the poor way? If you insist on seeking revenge today, the poor road will also ask you about the sins of the day! ”

The serpent made another "hiss" sound.

I only heard Zheng Daochang reply sharply: "It doesn't matter how it is!" Although I have never met them and have no friendship, as a fellow of the same kind, I feel the same way, how can I say that it has nothing to do with me! If you don't go out and see it with your own eyes, how can I spare you! ”

The big snake shook its head and tail, swept down a few big trees, and its body stood rapidly, high above the stone cliff, and the red letter in its mouth was spitting rapidly, and its momentum skyrocketed.

"Don't talk too much, stir up nonsense, since the poor road is here today, you can't be presumptuous. If you insist on being strong, the poor road will have to give you a ride today! As he spoke, he pinched a sword trick in his left hand, and pulled a sword flower in his right hand to make a gesture.

Yang Congyi was closest to Daochang Zheng, and suddenly felt a very powerful and powerful sword intent spread, which made him shudder.

There is a moment of tension between the mountains and fields, and a big war is about to break out!

The big snake also seemed to feel the sword intent, suddenly lowered its body, descended to the bottom of the stone cliff, looked up at the stone cliff, and the sound of "hiss" came again.

"Okay, then take a step back, and after they have been punished, the matter of the day will be over, and they shall not be entangled again." After Zheng Daochang finished speaking, he put away the sword, and the sword qi disappeared in an instant.

The serpent nodded, hissed, and stepped back about five feet. The group of snakes surrounding the stone cliff also rolled and retreated, three feet away from the stone cliff.

Zheng Daochang turned to Yang Congyi and said, "Master Yang, you injured its descendants in Panlong Mountain, and then peeled its skin and cooked soup under its eyes, which is against the harmony of heaven, so they will chase after you for trouble." If you want to settle this grievance, you need to be punished. ”

Yang Congyi had just heard the conversation between the Dao Chief and the big snake, and he was shocked, the big snake actually had such a high level of wisdom, and the Dao Chief could actually talk to it, which greatly subverted his original cognition. I already admired Daochang Zheng very much, but now my admiration is even better. Hearing Daoist Zheng's words, he agreed to everything: "Everything is decided by Daochang, and we are willing to be punished." ”

As soon as the big snake came out, the crowd was so frightened that their faces were like earth, sweating through the back of their clothes, and they could hear the conversation between the Taoist chief and the big snake, and they were even more frightened, they really offended the snake fairy! However, as the momentum of the Dao Leader suppressed the big snake, their expressions were relaxed again. Hearing that the Taoist and the big snake had negotiated that the danger had been lifted, but they were still a little worried about being punished, but in the face of such a profound Taoist, how could they dare to say a word.

Zheng Dao said: "Since this is the case, then the poor Dao will make his own opinion. ”

Yang Congyi replied respectfully: "Dao Chief, please command." ”

I only heard Zheng Daochang say in a loud voice: "Those who have drunk snake soup, each person will step forward and slap their mouths ten times, if they don't bleed, they will do it for them." ”

Hearing this command, the crowd looked at each other and apologized to the snake's mouth, which is too ridiculous and embarrassing, if it is spread out, how will I see people in the future?

Yang Congyi saw that everyone was hesitating and no one stepped forward, and he suddenly felt angry in his heart, isn't this a shame in front of the Taoist leader, so he said coldly: "Lose your life, follow the palm of your mouth ten times, which one is light, which one is heavy, don't you have points in your hearts?" If you don't want to slap your mouth, jump down by yourself. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they dared to think nonsense, and they stepped forward and began to slap their mouths.

For a while, the sound of "snapping" palms was endless. The crowd quickly knows how powerful the Taoist is, how dare he cheat, and the Taoist chief makes a move, all of them are extremely heavy, often the first two slaps break the gums, and ten palms go down, the mouth is full of blood, and it looks very scary. But bleeding gums, what's the deal?

In a short time, the crowd quickly finished slapping their mouths and retreated behind the stone cliff. Although the snakes retreated a little, they still looked very scary, and they only glanced at it quietly, and did not dare to look further.

Zheng Daochang saw that everyone had finished slapping their mouths, but the corners of Yang Congyi's mouth were clean, so he said: "Master Yang, you should also be punished." ”

As soon as he heard the words of the Taoist chief, Yang Congyi immediately understood in his heart, although he didn't drink snake soup, he was there when he killed the snake, he was there when he peeled the skin and cooked the soup, and he was still there when everyone was eating meat and drinking soup, that is, if he didn't stop it, how could he escape punishment?

Yang Congyi didn't say anything, took a few steps forward to the edge of the cliff, faced the snakes, raised his hand and gave himself a slap, only to feel that his mouth was hot, and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth in an instant, followed by "popping" nine palms. After the palm was finished, the blood flowed, and only then did he take a few steps back and stand.

Zheng Daochang saw that except for their master and apprentice, the rest of the people on the stone cliff were all covered with blood, so he stepped forward and said to the big snake: "They have all been punished, and today's matter is over." If you are entangled in the future, don't blame the poor road for being ruthless. ”

I saw that the great serpent raised its head, opened its mouth and spit out the letter, and then turned and left.

The cliff was densely packed, and countless small snakes also quickly rolled away after the big snake left.

In less than a quarter of an hour, not a single snake remained at the bottom of the cliff, and all of them receded, disappearing without a trace.
