Paradise Chapter 21 It shouldn't be like this
Xiao Tan's green pool water has been dyed bright red at this time.
The python leaped out of the pool and let out a roar, somewhat like a dragon's groan. However, because his mouth was pierced by the Qingyun Chaotian Sword, the roar was not as majestic as usual. The pool water splashed around, and the strong men were already scared stupid, and Li Zehou had already broken free and ran to the edge of the pool to catch his sister.
The python fell, and its huge body fell to the edge of the pool.
Xie Baoshu slumped on the ground, holding the Qingyun Sword and rolling to the side. The two strong men on the side were not so lucky, they were stupid and stood motionless by the pool. The giant python's huge body fell, crushing the two of them into pulp. This giant python was several times larger than Jiang Duyun's, and the red scales on its body were like steel. Falling from such a height, how could a mortal body be able to stop it? If Xie Baoshu hadn't flashed fast, he would have died. The red python fell to the ground, struggling and rolling like a dead fish.
His eyes were staring at Xie Baoshu, wanting to climb up and bite him.
But the body did not obey the call, starting from the corner of the mouth, the flesh and blood of the red python disappeared little by little. It felt like it was losing its life, and that the wound wasn't fatal enough for it. But the sword in that man's hand was not ordinary, and it actually carried a trace of destruction. Its strong vitality is vulnerable to this destructive force! It has survived in this fishing village for so long just to see the demeanor of the Gathering Divine Realm, and for this purpose, it has been hiding in the pool for a hundred years, just for fear that some cultivators will kill it. The bottom of this pool of water is connected to the Canglan River outside, and even if a powerful cultivator comes to find it, it can escape far away from the river.
Who would have thought that it would be attacked?
Its eyes widened, and it was still a yellow-haired boy who attacked it. It seems that he has not changed his bones yet, and the aura on his body does not fluctuate much, but the sword in his hand looks a little powerful. It was very speechless in its heart, this kid wouldn't be deliberately hiding his cultivation to tease it, right?
It opened its mouth wide and tried to breathe, only to find that the simplest things on a daily basis were now extremely difficult to do. Like a dying fish, he convulsed all over his body, and gradually stopped moving.
Seeing this, Xie Baoshu moved his arm and found that it was extremely sore, because it should be the reason for overexertion. He looked at the corpse of the red python not far away, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. On the hill, when he saw this red python, he could feel the breath on its body, which was far less powerful than the black python by the dry well in Taoyuan Village. Moreover, there is a big difference between the two pythons. Jiang Duyun's body is full of aura, known as a spirit beast, and can absorb the luck of a land. And this one is just that ordinary giant pythons have cultivated to perfection and lived for more years.
Of course, if you can live for so long, maybe you have eaten the treasures of heaven and earth.
Xie Baoshu looked at the blood orchids around him thoughtfully.
At this time, in the valley, there were two strong men who had escaped the catastrophe, and they ran down the mountain in a panic, not caring about the old woman who went up the mountain together. Li Zehou, on the other hand, hugged his sister, cautiously came to Xie Baoshu's side, helped him up, and asked, "Immortal Master, are you okay?"
Xie Baoshu nodded and said with a smile: "It's just a little tired, it's not a big deal." ”
The little girl in Li Zehou's arms was no longer crying at this time, she blocked her eyes with her hands, and she could only make a slit, as if she was a little afraid to look at the corpse of the giant python on the side. Xie Baoshu smiled at her, this little girl was a little smaller than Jiang Duyun, but there was something similar.
At this time, the old woman on the side looked at the corpse of the giant python and cried. She pointed at Xie Baoshu and shouted, "What are you doing here? Our fishing village has relied on the mountain god for generations to go fishing on the river." Even if you are an immortal, can you kill indiscriminately? If we don't have the protection of the mountain god in the future, how can we go out to sea to fish? Will you come to bless us?"
Xie Baoshu paused, and he was silent.
Li Zehou was on the side, not knowing what to say.
The little girl in his arms, seeing the old woman's pungent appearance, she was a little angry and a little scared, so she had to spit lightly at the old woman. The old woman stared at her viciously, but did not make a sound, but staggered and ran down the mountain. Xie Baoshu picked up the Qingyun Chaotian Sword, but found that there was no trace of blood on it, and it was very bright. He walked over to the red python and watched it carefully for a moment. The scales and flesh of the red python had been stirred to shreds, and now it was just a bag, which was very disgusting.
Xie Baoshu didn't know what was going on, but he thought it should be the reason for the sword.
Suddenly, a cat meow came, and an orange cat walked down slowly from the valley, it was Hachi, who disappeared last night. Hachi dragged his fat body, walked to the python, and threw a paw towards its abdomen. The steel-like scales were easily torn apart by Hachi's claws and inserted into them. Hachi looked lazy and dug inside with his paws for a long time before pulling out a red circle. Xie Baoshu was afraid that this red python was poisonous, and looked at Xiaoba a little nervously.
This red circle is recorded in the book "Miscellaneous Talks under the Mountain". Once the monster successfully replaces its bones, it will form a demon pill in its body, which is the biggest difference from humans. The cultivation of monsters must accompany this demon pill from beginning to end, and from birth to death, this demon pill must not have problems. If the root of human beings is the heart, then the root of monsters is the demon pill.
I saw Xiaoba holding the demon pill with his claws, walked to the pond water, found a clean pool of water, washed the demon pill and his own claws, and then put the demon pill in his mouth. Xie Baoshu was very curious, it was not the first time that Xiao Ba had eaten indiscriminately in all these years, why didn't it have problems with its stomach? Also, where is it sacred? The scales of the red python, I used the Qingyun Chaotian Sword to disagree and could stab it open, how could Xiao Ba's claws be easily torn apart?
Li Zehou's sister seems to be very interested in Xiao Ba and wants to hug it, but she doesn't dare.
Hachi actually came up by himself and rubbed it in her arms.
Xie Baoshu frowned, he found that Xiaoba seemed to like the little girl very much.
After resting for a while, they prepared to go down the mountain. Before leaving, Xie Baoshu looked at the blood orchids all over the mountains and fields, and quietly picked a few.
As soon as they entered the village, Xie Baoshu found that something was wrong, and the eyes of the people in the village were very vicious. There was nothing to do all the way, until Li Zehou's home, where the old village chief and his daughter-in-law cried and rejoiced when they saw their daughter return safely. After a while, the old village chief asked his daughter-in-law to get lunch, and he pulled Xie Baoshu to the side of the house.
He first took out a dry tobacco, lit a puff, took a puff of it, took a puff of it, and then said: "Listen to Zehou, you are an immortal who went up and down that day, I and my wife, thank you to the immortal master for saving our daughter." After speaking, the old village chief bowed to Xie Baoshu. Xie Baoshu hurriedly helped the old village chief and said, "Immortals don't dare to be, I've just started to practice." ”
The old village chief was on the chair beside him, knocked the cigarette stick, and said, "The immortal master is mighty, and he killed the monster that pretended to be the mountain god." However, does our village really not know that there are monsters in the pool? This small village can't survive without fishing. This place is very humid, and no matter what you plant, it is easy to lose your crops. We had no choice but to trade with that monster. Whose child is not the meat of the heart, but the death of a child is better than the death of a village. ”
Xie Baoshu nodded and said, "I understand, but I don't support it." ”
The old village chief said, "Before you came back, there was an old man in the village who went out to fish, and he has not come back yet. There are no boats on the river, and most of them can't come back. The people in the village have a lot of complaints about what you are doing, don't take it to heart, they also have a hard time. ”
Xie Baoshu was silent.
The old village chief took a deep breath and asked, "Dare to ask the immortal master, why is the river at the gate of our village so turbulent, and there are always turbulent waves? Is there another demon at work?"
Xie Baoshu shook his head and said, "This river is called Canglan River, and your village is right at the corner of the river. A little ahead, is my hometown, Taoyuan Village, which is the end of this river. For these two reasons, the water on this side of your fishing village is, of course, more ferocious. Moreover, this river is a big river in Wuling County, and with the god of river blasphemy sitting in the town, there will be no monsters who dare to make waves in the river. ”
The old village chief frowned and asked, "In that case, it is due to geographical reasons, we have to move out?"
Xie Baoshu shook his head and said, "I can't do anything for the time being. The old village chief sighed and said, "The sky is going to kill me in the fishing village." Xie Baoshu asked: "I just said, there is a god of river blasphemy in this Canglan River, do you have any worship for him in your village?"
The old village chief said helplessly: "Originally, there were, but our place is remote, and the people in the village think that worshipping the river god is useless." Gradually, the temple of the river god fell into ruin and collapsed, and now it no longer exists. ”
Xie Baoshu was silent, he didn't know what to do.
The old village chief proposed to go out here first and finish eating, Xie Baoshu nodded.
At the dinner table, Li Zehou's sister was still teasing Xiao Ba and brought him a few small dried fish, and Xiao Ba was very happy to eat. Xie Baoshu looked at Xiaoba's fat body with some concern, really worried that it would fatten himself to death. This first meal was very hearty, with fish and meat. The fish should have been brought from the river, and the meat seemed to be rabbit meat, which should have been brought by Li Zehou from the mountains. Xie Baoshu felt that the consumption was huge, and he also ate a lot of rice. Rice is scarce in this village, so eat a little less.
The people in the village are more miserable when they go out, eat fish every day, and live a better life.
As soon as Xie Baoshu put down the dishes and chopsticks, he heard a noise at the door, and it seemed that a large group of people were standing outside the door.
A hoarse voice roared outside the door: "Stinky boy surnamed Xie, get out of here quickly and give us an explanation." ”
Xie Baoshu heard this voice, it was the old woman he met just now. He frowned, and suddenly felt a little irritable, shouldn't he be like this, and be kind enough to help?
