I have seen Jiao, that was ten years ago, when I was very young, after a heavy rain, I and my grandfather, my old brother-in-law and others went into the mountains to pick mushrooms, harvested a lot, picked two large glass silk bags, on the way back, passing by a small puddle formed by the rain, walking in front of the grandfather made a gesture, signaling the team to stop advancing, they are all adults, understand the meaning of grandpa's gestures, I don't understand, so I shouted: "What's wrong, grandpa!" ”

Suddenly, from the bottom of that puddle, a large serpent, three or four meters long, with a bowl as thick as the mouth, stood in the puddle with its tail, held its head high, and spit out letters, looking down at us!

"Get on your knees!" Grandpa shouted, everyone quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the big snake, I was knocked on the head by the old brother-in-law, and the forehead of the kowtow was bleeding, and after everyone kowtowed, the big snake finally swam out of the puddle, leaned down, and swam into the woods.

I asked what kind of snake it was, why was it so big?

Grandpa said that this is not a snake, but the unique "Lin Jiao" of Changbai Mountain, the reason why it is called Lin Jiao, is because the general Jiao is a kind of creature, all live in rivers, lakes and seas, only the Jiao of Changbai Mountain, live in the woods, but the woods are only their activity area, all the nests of Changbai Mountain Lin Jiao, are in the same place - Tianchi.

I remember very clearly, at that time, the Lin Jiao, there was a mobile phone-sized "cockscomb" on the head, the cockscomb was bright red, and there was a black spot in the middle, the old brother-in-law said, this is called "one-eyed Lin Jiao", and the "eye" has been cultivated, indicating that it is one step closer to the dragon, no eyes, one eye, two eyes, the highest is three eyes, after three eyes, you can swallow the dragon, and occasionally there will be four-eyed Lin Jiao, which is the Jiao that has failed to turn the dragon, and it can't fly, but it is also very powerful.

In an instant, I recalled this past incident in my mind, which was also the only time I encountered "Lin Jiao" before, I thought that the one-eyed Lin Jiao was already very big, but I didn't expect that the one I met today was far bigger than that, just the red "cockscomb" on the top of the head, there was the size of a pu fan, the head below, pointed (poisonous snake), bigger than a rugby ball, the letter spit out more than half a meter, the colorful neck below, thick and like a pillar, what is even more terrifying is that this three-eyed Lin Jiao actually has feet, The shape is similar to that of a lizard, with the edge of the stone and the "nails" on the claws like a sickle!

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that there would be such a creature in the world, judging by its size and weapons, any wild boar, bear, or tiger would not be its opponent, and it would not even be qualified to be an opponent!

"It's scary!" Baguio whispered.

She still dares to speak! My legs are all weak, what should I do?

It's already staring at the two of us, run? I guess I can't outrun her, fight? My dagger blade is not as long as a claw of others, how can I hit it?

"Hey!" Baguio didn't look too scared, raised his neck, and shouted at Lin Jiao, "Are you the guardian of that thousand-year-old ginseng?" ”

yes, what are we going to do? Looking for Miss Ginseng!

But Lin Jiao may not be able to understand human language, I had an idea, rolled up my sleeves, revealed the red rope on my left wrist, and shook it, jingle bell!

When Lin Jiao heard the copper bell, he immediately leaned down and smashed it directly at us with that big head!

I subconsciously pushed Baguio away, closed my eyes tightly, and a fishy wind blew in my face, but it didn't attack me, I slowly opened my eyes, Nima! The huge head, hanging in the air less than half a meter in front of me, behind it was its curved bow-shaped body, and I could clearly see its eyes, because the noon sun was strong, and its pupils were drawn up and down in a straight line, staring coldly at the red rope in my hand.

I glanced at Baguio with my spare eyes, she was pushed to the ground by me, looking at the three-eyed Lin Jiao up close, she was also a little dumbfounded, and she didn't dare to squeak again.

"The ......," I slowly leaned the red rope closer to it, tentatively, "I'm coming...... Find, find, find ......"

Damn, I don't know what Miss Ginseng's name is!

"Looking for ginseng essence, the one who has just turned into a person and gone down the mountain!" Baguio wittily added for me.

Lin Jiao turned his head and looked at Baguio, so frightened that Baguio shrank back.

Brush, Lin Jiao turned his head back, slowly poked down his triangular head, pointed at me with a "cockscomb", and trembled, the cockscomb looked meaty, a bit like a crane top red, what does it mean?

"Did you want to hang the red rope?" Baguio asked cautiously.

Look at this action, it should be! I swallowed my saliva, took off the red rope from my wrist, and circled it on Lin Jiao's "cockscomb", the size was just right, after wearing it, I took half a step back, Lin Jiao slowly raised his head, glanced up with his eyes, shook his head, jingle bell, it seemed to be very happy, while shaking, while swimming back to the top of the big stone, and then, disappeared behind the big stone.

"Ran away, it?" Baguio asked with a frown.

"I think so."

"Then chase it! Without red rope, how to find Miss Ginseng! Baguio said anxiously.

I slapped my thigh, thinking that it had received the gift, but it looked as if it had been "confiscated"! I hurriedly walked around the big rock, which had not gone far and was swimming through the forest to the top of the mountain.

"Hey! Big...... Daisen! Please return the token to me! I shouted.

Lin Jiao stopped, looked back at me, unmoved, and continued slowly up the mountain.

This can't be done, even if I'm afraid, I have to catch up, otherwise I'll come in vain, anyway, it has been in an excellent attack position just now, but it didn't attack us, maybe there is no malice, after all, it's a creature that is about to turn into a dragon, and it knows how to count!

Baguio also followed, she agreed with me, chase!

The two of them held hands, chasing Lin Jiao on the steep hillside with difficulty, the guy was in front, unhurried swimming, it crawled up the mountain with its belly, more focus, but much easier than us, such as walking on the ground, Baguio and I used both hands and feet, with great effort, only not to be thrown off by it, about ten minutes later, finally at the top of the mountain, chased it - to be precise, it took the initiative to stop, waiting for us.

"Great, great," I gasped and reached out to ask for it, "that red rope was left to me by a friend of mine, please give it back to me!" ”

Lin Jiao actually shook his head! Does it understand?!

"Hey! Big! Baguio didn't care about it, and said, "Give it back to me, otherwise I'm not welcome to you!" ”

Lin Jiao looked at Baguio, then at me, and climbed a stout tree beside him.

"Why did you go, it?" Baguio asked me.

"How do I know!" I put my hands on the pergola, followed Lin Jiao's "pace" and looked up, there was an old eagle's nest in the tree, Lin Jiao climbed next to the old eagle's nest, probed in, as if he had taken something out, and then shook his head and threw it to me, is it for me?

I picked it up, and it was an object wrapped with birch bark lining, like a box, and I took apart the birch bark layer by layer (this thing is rainproof), and sure enough, it was a small box, an old-fashioned tin stationery box, with an iron wall of Astro Boy painted on it, and rusty in many places.

Astro Boy has an inscription on his body, ABC, looking at this mark, I suddenly remembered, this stationery box, didn't I use it when I was a child! Later, I lost it, and I don't know where it went!

"Open it and take a look!" Baguio urged.

It was very tight, I broke it with my hands for a long time, I didn't open it, I had to pry it with a dagger, and finally opened it, there was a roll of animal skins lying inside, I handed the stationery box to Baguio, and unfolded the animal skin, it was a map!

"Treasure map?" Baguio asked excitedly.

"I don't know......" I can't read, there are mountains and rivers on it, and there are also annotated words, but they are all similar to Mongolian words.

"Huh! There is a word on the back! Baguio bent down and looked up from below.

I turned the animal skin over, and sure enough, there was a line of small words: Dream friendship, Xifeng continues.

In the lower right corner, there is also a small letter: Hazy.
