Chapter 52: Killing the Snake and Drawing Blood
The two wrapped up the antidote, and Huang Rong said to Ling Muyun: "Brother Yun, the antidote is in hand, let's go." ”
Ling Muyun said: "Rong'er, wait, there is still a good thing that you haven't taken." ”
"What's good?" Huang Rong asked with a puzzled expression.
Ling Muyun glanced around, then walked quickly to a bamboo basket the size of a water tank in the corner of the wall, and pointed at the bamboo basket, "The good thing I said is it." ”
Huang Rong stepped forward and looked through the gap in the bamboo basket by the moonlight, only to see that there was a strange snake as red as blood in the bamboo basket. This strange snake has the thickness of a bowl, and its body is entrenched, and it is impossible to see how long it is, but the bottom of the bamboo basket is stuffed full, and a snake head is a little bigger than a baby's head, and a pair of snake eyes are as bright as a lamp.
"What a big snake!" Huang Rong couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, she was born in the south, she had seen a lot of snakes and insects, and even caught snakes to cook in order to practice cooking, but it was the first time she had seen a strange snake like this. Rao is Huang Rong has always boasted of being bold, and she couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Brother Yun, this big snake is so scary, what do you want it to do?"
Ling Muyun smiled and explained to Huang Rong: "Rong'er, don't underestimate this guy, it's a veritable treasure snake. ”
"Treasure snake? Brother Yun, tell me, what kind of treasure method is this snake? Huang Rong was also interested when she heard Ling Muyun say this, and asked curiously.
"I heard that Liang Ziweng, the old monster of the ginseng immortal, also got a secret recipe for raising snakes with medicine to make it easier to strengthen the body, and he worked hard to catch a strange poisonous pit viper from the depths of Changbai Mountain according to the secret recipe, and collected medicine according to the prescription, and fed it with various rare medicines, and it was twenty years to feed, and then gradually took off his true colors and became the current appearance. It is said that as long as you drink the blood of this snake, you can not only nourish your face and increase your longevity, but also not invade thousands of snakes. ”
"And such a thing? This snake is really a treasure. Huang Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, and when she looked at the blood-colored snake in the bamboo basket again, her eyes were already full of envy, "Since this is the case, then we must take this snake away." It just so happens that I still have two hands in making snakes, let's bring this snake back, and I'll make you snake soup to eat, Brother Yun, do you say okay? ”
"Okay, okay, I'll just wait to taste Rong'er's craftsmanship." Ling Muyun nodded again and again, although he had not tried it himself, he had already heard of Huang Rong's cooking skills, and even the most delicious and delicious nine-fingered beggar, Hong Qigong, was full of praise. This treasure snake is a rare treasure, if it can be cooked by Huang Rong's skillful hands, it will really be perfect.
Because Liang Ziweng has always cherished this treasure snake as life, he carries it everywhere he goes, so in order to make it easy to carry, Liang Ziweng specially made such a fine and appropriate large bamboo basket, and also knotted the net pocket with ropes outside the bamboo basket, and deliberately set aside two rope sleeves as straps for people to carry, which is convenient for Ling Muyun who came to steal. At that moment, Ling Muyun closed the lid of the bamboo basket tightly to prevent the treasure snake from jumping out halfway, and then picked up the bamboo basket on his back and left the pavilion with Huang Rong and walked out of the palace.
With their superb light skills, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong sneaked out of Zhao Wang's Mansion without any danger, and then went all the way to the small inn where Wang Chuyi and Guo Jing were staying. When they arrived at the inn, Wang Chuyi, Guo Jing and the others had just had dinner, and when they saw that Ling Muyun had really come back with the antidote, they were naturally overjoyed, Guo Jing was especially happy, as if it was him who was saved, and he couldn't even be surprised to see Huang Rong suddenly become a woman. On the contrary, as the main master, Wang Chuyi behaved more calmly, just thanked Ling Muyun briefly, and then took the antidote and went back to Fang Yungong.
After Wang Chu and the others left, Huang Rong said indignantly: "This bull nose surnamed Wang really doesn't know what to do, Brother Yun, you took such a big risk to steal the antidote for him, and he just said thank you so simply?" It's too insincere! ”
Ling Muyun smiled slightly, and said, "Rong'er, you don't know this, the eldest husband is grateful in his heart, not in words, he doesn't say much thank you, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't take this kindness to heart." ”
"Brother Yun, how can you be sure that he will be like you think? Instead of turning around and forgetting about it? ”
"Because he is the first place of the Yuyang Ziwang." Ling Muyun smiled faintly and said, "Although I am not a person from the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, I still admire the chivalry of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, and I also know a little about their behavior, and I will never be ungrateful." ”
"Oh, that's the bull's nose that I'm mistaken."
"It doesn't matter, you didn't show it to your face anyway. Besides, even if people see it, with his identity as the seventh son of Quanzhen, is he embarrassed to have more plans with your little girl's family? If that's the case, then I'm really going to retract my previous evaluation of him. ”
"Well, then let's not talk about him, let's eat this big medicine snake first."
Ling Muyun nodded and said, "Okay, let's make a snake first, and I also happen to taste Rong'er's craftsmanship." ”
"Brother Yun, don't worry, I won't let you down, but you have to help me slaughter this snake first, I don't dare to kill such a big snake."
"No problem." Ling Muyun immediately patted his chest and said.
At that moment, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong found the shop guy and asked him to lead them to the kitchen of the inn, saying that they were going to cook dinner by themselves, and by the way, they would give the shop guy some money. Because it was past dinner at this time, the kitchen of the inn had been turned off, and it was already empty and useless, and the shopkeeper was rewarded again, so he was naturally happy to help, and immediately led the two to the kitchen. The two waved off the buddies and began to act.
First of all, it was natural to kill the snake and take blood, Ling Muyun brought the bamboo basket, opened the lid, and the blood-colored snake in the bamboo basket suddenly "snorted" and rushed towards Ling Muyun.
This big snake has been fed with rare medicinal materials by Liang Ziweng, the old monster of the ginseng immortal, for twenty years, and already has a spirit surname, as early as when it was taken away by Ling Muyun, a stranger, it began to be faintly manic, just because the bamboo basket it stayed in was specially made by Liang Ziweng, not something it could knock open, so it endured without being overly agitated, and when it saw the lid of the basket opened, where could it endure it? Immediately, he jumped out of the bamboo basket and bit towards Ling Muyun, a stranger.
It's just that with Ling Muyun's current martial arts, he is prepared, how can he be bitten by a brute? The palm of his hand poked out like lightning, and pinched the snake's neck accurately, and the fast-moving snake shadow suddenly froze and stopped in the air.
However, the treasure snake that was choked by the neck was obviously not reconciled, and while constantly twisting its neck to try to break free, the huge snake body also swam out of the bamboo basket, and its body twisted and flicked, like a thick rope wrapped around Ling Muyun's body.
At this time, I saw the length of this treasure snake, and when the snake's neck was choked, the lower body was still wrapped around Ling Muyun's body several times, and most of Ling Muyun's body was wrapped in it.
You must know that this treasure snake is a strange poisonous pit viper, and the ordinary pit viper is three or four feet long to the extreme, and this treasure snake is more than twice as long as its kind, and it has become a different species with the help of the effect of elixir feeding.
The snake body was entangled, and Ling Muyun suddenly felt a great oppressive force coming from the snake body wrapped around him. It is important to know that snakes are the best at binding, sometimes snakes swallow hard and indigestible things, often will be wrapped around trees or stakes, the tighter and tighter, to press and crush the food in the body, promote digestion, so the binding power of snakes is great. This treasure snake is a different species, and its strength is even more amazing, even if it is a fierce beast such as a bear and a tiger in the mountains and forests, most of them will be strangled to death if they are entangled by it.
But it's a pity that it ran into a hard stubble this time, Ling Muyun has a strong internal strength, and his strength is better than that of a bear and a tiger, although the entangled power of the treasure snake is great, but Ling Muyun, who has strong internal force as a support, can also withstand it. With a fierce struggle, he unexpectedly loosened the entanglement of the treasure snake, stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword on his waist, turned his head to Huang Rong on the side and said, "Rong'er, quickly take a basin to catch the snake's blood." ”
"Brother Yun, the basin is here."
Huang Rong hurriedly took a copper basin with a diameter of more than one foot and held it under the head of the treasure snake. Ling Muyun immediately cut the neck of the treasure snake with a sword and bled the treasure snake.
The blood volume of this treasure snake is really abundant, and it takes most of the half basin to put the snake blood clean. Ling Muyun looked at this large basin of snake blood and was speechless, he really didn't know how Guo Jing drank so much snake blood in the original history, how much appetite it would take!
This was actually Ling Muyun's misunderstanding, in the original history, Guo Jing did not drink all the snake blood, but after drinking the treasure snake lost too much blood and lost its strength, he relented and fled in a hurry, and the rest of the snake blood flowed to the ground after he left and was wasted.
After draining the snake's blood, Ling Muyun did not stop there, and dissected the snake body of the treasure snake and took out the snake gall from it.
It must be known that this treasure snake has been fed by Liang Ziweng with rare medicine for so many years, and it has long been a treasure, and the most precious thing is of course its snake blood, but the rest of the other things are also treasures.
Especially snake gallbladder, ordinary snake gall still has a detoxification effect, not to mention this xenomorph that has been fed by elixir for decades? Although it does not have the effect of snake blood to nourish beauty and increase longevity, the effect of anti-poisoning and detoxification is still above that of snake blood, and such good things naturally cannot be let go.
