Chapter Seventy-Four: Serpent vs. Dragon
The moonlight shines through the missing corner of the temple wall and scatters it on the ground inside, shining all over the ground.
Su Qinghuang was guarding the fire outside, holding a handful of peanuts, killing time one by one, Xu Lao Liu sat on the side, pulling the fire, looked at Su Qinghuang and said kindly: "Su Tou'er, you go back and squint for a while, I am watching here, make sure it is foolproof." ”
Su Qinghuang half leaned on the root of an old tree, admiring the refreshing mountain scenery at night with great interest, and said: "Although this place should be considered safe, there is no harm in being cautious, there are many hidden spells in the night, and it is difficult to detect the first time you come out." ”
"It's Lao Xu, you, you've been running all day during the day, so let's go and rest first, I'll just keep an eye on it. ”
Xu Laoliu's head shook like a rattle. "If it doesn't work, how can there be a reason for the chief to keep vigil and I go to rest. ”
"Go, look at the tiredness on your face, you can't hide the folds, if you continue to survive, you will have to fall to the ground tomorrow." Su Qinghuang ate all the remaining peanuts and said with a smile: "Wu Xiu is not like ordinary people, and he has his own set of methods for breathing breath, so he won't feel that the vigil is a burden." ”
Seeing Su Qinghuang's resolute attitude, Xu Lao Liu did keep fighting with his upper and lower eyelids, so after struggling for a while, he finally pulled a quilt and wrapped it aside, thinking about taking a nap for a while, and if something really happened, he could wake up as soon as possible.
The insects around are chirping, Su Qinghuang is in the soft breeze, practicing his own unique method of breathing and breathing, and the aura enters the Qi Mansion in the mouth and nose, which is much better than only polishing his own Qi, exhaling and inhaling, seemingly clueless, but it just corresponds to the beat of the heartbeat, and the melody overlaps.
I don't know how long it took, Su Qinghuang suddenly opened his eyes, among the mountains and forests, the clouds and the wind were soothing, and the shadows of those trees were swaying, as if he suddenly had an independent soul.
In the quiet night, everything seems to be normal and bland, if it weren't for the abnormal warning in the system, even he wouldn't have noticed what that indescribable strangeness was.
"There is an unknown psychic force approaching. "In the sea of knowledge, a trace of scarlet has been hung on the blue waves, which is a warning given by the super system.
On weekdays, it is silent, but every time there is a warning sound, it will not be groundless.
Spiritual power, there is no substance, Su Qinghuang remembered, the last dragon scale stone was also a reminder of spiritual power, is the two the same type? But no matter what, it is better to call everyone up first.
"Lao Xu, Lao Xu. Su Qinghuang pushed Xu Lao Liu, unexpectedly, Xu Lao Liu slept like a dead dog, no matter what, he couldn't wake up, but fortunately, he still had breathing, this is really a strange thing, a veteran, no matter how heavy he sleeps, it will never be like this, unless, someone secretly uses means.
"Lao Xue, Lao Cao, Cao Kaiquan. Su Qinghuang hurriedly got up and found them, and saw that the two of them were not much better than Xu Laoliu, so in a hurry, he even gave Cao Kaiquan a slap in the face.
This slap left a distinct finger mark on his dark face, but he didn't scream, even Wu Xiu was so bad, not to mention others.
"Whew. Su Qinghuang let out a sigh of relief, forced himself to calm down, and came to the outside of the temple, since he couldn't find out the true trace of that thing with his star eyes, he simply closed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual power was used in his ears, giving up his vision and putting his hearing to the maximum.
"Listen to the wind. Su Qinghuang said silently in his heart, this is a move he came up with by accident, and it complements the star eye, but in the subtleties, he can hear almost any clue, and even the slightest wind sound can't escape these ears.
Everything is very ordinary, the wind sweeps the treetops, the birds are singing and the insects are noisy, under the mental calculation, Su Qinghuang can't find the slightest inappropriateness, but when he returns in vain, lack of interest, and returns to the temple, he finally found the clue with a casual glance. The tribute on the incense platform, compared with before, lacks a very inconspicuous corner, like when I was a child, when I stole a flatbread, I put it on top of it, and I did a little bit of careful thinking to cover it.
"Whoever it is, come out and meet it. Su Qinghuang's voice was crisp, not only could it be heard in the temple, but it was also transmitted a mile away by the breeze.
"I know you can hear it, but if you don't show up again, I'll just throw this big bread on the ground, and I won't put it here for you to enjoy. Let me think, what should I do next, or I will break the golden body on it with one punch?"
"Although I don't know what the consequences will be, most of the immortals will regard their golden body as the most important thing, no less than the second life. The incense in the temple is barren to this point, and the mud body will be broken again, and your life will not be at least half gone. Su Qinghuang paced in the temple with a calm expression, his tone was gentle, but serious and resolute.
A strange wind suddenly blew in the courtyard outside the temple, blowing through the branches, Su Qinghuang didn't turn around, just stared at the mud body here.
Because of the severe weathering, I can't tell which god it is, but I can also tell that it shouldn't be human. Behind its body, there is something that looks like a tail dragging it, and it can be thrown here, and thinking with the back of its head, I know that it will not be an important person. After all, the immortal family that is still remembered by non-human beings, which one is not famous, and when he moves his body, even the emperor has to bend down to greet him, so he dares to threaten loudly.
On the mud statue, the face of death and silence, the gust of wind outside came in along the door, and a breeze blew on his face, and suddenly he had a look, seeing this, Su Qinghuang was like a great enemy, and his whole body was tense.
The matter was far from over, and before he could make the next move, the entire temple shook violently again, and such a dilapidated place, suffering such a strong vibration, was tantamount to a dilapidated house in the center of the earthquake, and the wall should have collapsed long ago. But here, in the dark, there seems to be an unknown force forcibly holding on, so except for a little dirt, not even the bricks and tiles have fallen.
Fortunately, the shaking didn't last long, it subsided for a moment, and when everything was quiet, and then looked back at the statue, Su Qinghuang was almost terrified.
The mud body was shattered like a shell, and what was hidden inside was actually a black snake coiled up, a head held high, and the most conspicuous thing was the two golden pupils and a forked blood-red tongue, which kept swallowing and hissing.
It is pitch black all over, better than the best Hui ink of the Su family, and even Wu Muxin's hair, it is three points blacker, and the scales on it are shining, and you can even see his reflection of Su Qinghuang on it.
This is not the most palpitating, the beast's abdomen, actually gave birth to claws, although there are only three fingers, not to mention the five-clawed real dragon, not even a Jiao, but at this moment this claw is holding a big cake in his hand, which is always terrible and a little funny.
The eyes of the black snake are very human, or its sanity is not half inferior to that of humans. The higher the cultivation, the more open the spiritual wisdom, not only them, but also human beings, otherwise, those vast books like heavenly books, with human manpower, would not be able to read through them all and memorize them in their hearts.
Since it didn't do it at the first time, and the rest of the people were asleep and breathing as usual, Su Qinghuang didn't need to make any drastic moves, but sat cross-legged, saw that the black snake opened its bloody mouth, swallowed the three flatbreads on the table in one gulp, and took out some beef bread from his arms and threw it up.
The black snake's eyes were narrow, and he glanced at the human in front of him playfully, and unceremoniously ate all of them. It's not that it's already reduced to starvation, and the shelves won't fall again, but these heartfelt offerings are really a great supplement. Otherwise, if you don't say that sincerity is spiritual, and with faith mixed with them, they will no longer be ordinary grains and grains, otherwise you want the Bodhisattva to bless them with a few kinds of pasta, which is really too cheap for them.
Seeing that it was almost eating, Su Qinghuang tentatively said: "What is the matter with the senior's behavior, if my friends collide with the seniors here, I will accompany you here, please let us go." ”
The black snake's mouth opened, and Su Qinghuang had no doubt that even if a cow was thrown here, it could be swallowed by it.
Su Qinghuang simply sat on the ground, "It is said that strong dragons do not suppress the head snake, not to mention that we are not dragons, but just loaches, which will not pose a threat to you at all, you have a lot of adults, let us go." ”
The black snake still didn't speak, don't look at Su Qinghuang's face was light and light, on his back, sweat had already penetrated his clothes, and the star eye couldn't find out this guy's cultivation at all, only the abnormal state, but he knew that it must be the kind that was high.
"If you don't put forward a condition, our little loach is unsightly, and there is no benefit of making up for it after eating, but it will be even more difficult for the seniors to kill the sins, and it will be even more difficult to cultivate further, so it is better to let us go, wait for me to go back, and prepare three animal tributes, and thank the seniors well." ”
The black snake finally spoke, and his voice was like a bell, "Little loach, I'm afraid I can't see it, the dragon qi on your body, I really think I can't smell it?" ”
When Su Qinghuang heard this, his heart moved, and he didn't panic as he imagined, but smiled and said: "Senior, don't use these words to scare me, with your magical means, you want to take my life silently, but why bother to talk so much about it." ”
The black snake stretched his head over, close to Su Qinghuang's front door, and with a little breath, he could smell the pungent fishy smell, but how dare he have a look of disgust, so he had to keep his mind, without distractions, and looked at the pair of golden pupils that were bigger than his head, unconsciously, it seemed that even Su Qinghuang's own pupils had a golden light.
"Where did the dragon qi on your body come from? This is the second sentence of the black snake tonight, no longer the same as before, unable to hear other emotions, but hiding a cold killing intent.
