Chapter 184: Night Walking
As he spoke, the giant snake was furious and opened its mouth to bite Xie Juan.
Xie Juan picked up the sword in his hand, propped it on the ground with the sword, kicked back, and pulled the vines hanging down from the top to climb up.
"Here you go!"
Xie Juan pulled the vine and swung out, and the giant snake showed its black tail behind it and chased it out.
Shen An just instinctively threw the sword out, so that Xie Juan would not be empty-handed, but now it's good, Xie Juan directly took his sword away.
"Where are you going?"
The only thing that answered him was Xie Xuan's laughter.
The cave below was long and deep, and Xie Juan didn't shake it for long before he heard a rumbling sound outside.
Next to it was a waterfall, Xie Juan passed through the water curtain, and then fell into the water with a thud.
The water overflowed Xie Xuan's mouth and nose, shaking a splash in front of him.
The serpent had already chased after her, and with all her strength, she slid all the way to the shore, and without stopping for a moment, she continued to run in the direction of the mountain.
Out of the cave, her speed increased suddenly.
Xie Juan looked back and saw that the giant snake had chased it out, the snake was thick, the whole body was pitch black, and wings had grown on its back, if it was given a little more time, maybe it could really be cultivated into Ying Long, but it was still a little worse than her.
Xie Juan kept running until they had run a few miles away, and she didn't stop.
The serpent followed her, stopping two feet away from her.
"Why don't you run away?"
Xie Juan hooked his ears and said, "I'm tired of running." ”
The giant snake said contemptuously: "The snake spirit mountain has never interfered with the river water with your human wells, and you have indiscriminately broken into the mountains and killed my people. Now, it's time for you to pay for your life. ”
As he spoke, he opened his bloody mouth and wanted to swallow Xie Xuan.
Xie Juan rolled over, avoiding the attack of the big snake.
"Say what? I haven't killed any of your people, as for the black snake, I don't know why he is in Xu Yin's hands, but its body is already dead, and it still has to do things for humans, I think I have done a good thing for your snake clan."
The giant snake ignored Xie Xuan, and its body crashed into her like a small mountain.
Xie Juan was also a little anxious, jumped up flexibly, and the sword body knocked on his snake head.
"Why don't you listen, this snake? Think about it, if you were caught by humans and had to do things for humans, would you want to go on like this forever? "If Shen An knew that his precious sword was used as a stick by Xie Juan, I don't know how to feel.
"You are also a human being, over the years, you humans have continued to expand the farmland, we can only retreat to the mountains, and now, you still find the mountains, do you really want to kill our clan to be happy?"
Xie Juan was helpless, stepped on his face, spun around, and sat on his back.
The plain white little hand slapped on the snake's head.
The snake's body shook violently, and even the squid under his hand became very slippery, Xie Juan didn't grasp it steadily, and the whole person fell from behind the giant snake.
Xie Wan slipped to the ground, her hind feet curled, her hands on the ground, and the snake's tail pulled at her again.
"I have something to ask you!"
After speaking, she slowly released the aura of the cat demon.
The snake's tail froze suddenly, and then slowly retracted.
The giant snake half-squinted, sniffed Xie Xuan's taste, coiled the snake's tail in a circle, and gently twitched its tail to the ground.
Xie Juan looked at his expression, thinking that he might know something, and the light in his eyes became brighter.
"Do you know me?
"How can you smell of her?"
"You know her?"
The giant snake crawled around Xie Juan a few times, took two steps back, and slowly nodded the snake's head.
"Are you the cat demon who was besieged by various sect families three thousand years ago?"
Xie Xuan's little chicken nodded generally.
"I have been sealed by that stinky Taoist priest for three thousand years, and when I woke up, I was already like this. I don't remember a lot of things in the past, what happened back then? ”
"Back then, I was just a little snake, I just knew about the war everywhere, I don't know what happened, I'm afraid I can't help you."
Xie Juan stood up excitedly.
"No, think about it again, why was I sealed back then? What happened before? ”
The giant snake shook his head, Xie Xuan's heart was itching, he finally found a similar kind three thousand years ago, he didn't even know it at all.
"Do you know who I can ask?"
The giant snake continued to shake his head: "Those who should have flown have already flown up, otherwise they will all die of old age, I was only one foot away from the door, but then the aura became thinner and thinner, and if I want to go further, it is difficult to climb to the sky, as far as I know, I am the only one who experienced this incident back then." ”
Xie Juan sat on the ground a little dejected, she just wanted to get back her former memories, why was it so difficult?
The serpent knew she wasn't human, but calmed down.
"Since you're a demon, why are you mixing with humans? It's better to come to the mountains and join us, although the living space of the snake clan has been squeezed in the past two years.
But here, as well as Spirit Snake Mountain, are all ours. ”
Xie Juan shook her head, she didn't want to come to this deep mountain and wild forest, how good it is to follow Shen An, what she wants to eat, she never has to do it herself, how good.
She wasn't going to tell the snake in front of her about how delicious human things were, but said, "No, I still have to get my memories back." ”
"Are you really not thinking about staying?"
The giant snake's voice was a little lost, although he knew that it was impossible, he still said with a thousand points of possibility.
Xie Juan saw a black figure running over in the distance, and Shen An actually chased after him.
Xie Juan stood up and ran towards Shen An.
"Are you alright?"
Shen An looked at the giant snake that followed behind him, pulled Xie Juan behind him, pointed the sword in his hand at the giant snake, and looked at him with red eyes, ready to fight him at any time.
Xie Juan withdrew Shen An's hand and said, "Okay, I have already told him, we went up the mountain just to ask for medicine, we will leave when we get the medicine, he has already promised us." ”
As he spoke, he gave the snake demon a look.
Bassilisk: When did you tell me? Besides, when did I promise you?
But why is this man so eyesore, I really want to eat him.
Xie Juan patted the snake's head, took Shen An's hand and walked back, his heart was sweet.
Shen An still looked back at the giant snake from time to time, feeling very uneasy.
"Let's go, don't look at it." Xie Juan snapped Shen An's head back, "You just left like this, what should Shen Wenling do?" ”
"And what do you do?"
Shen An had a trace of anger hidden in his eyes.
Xie Juan smiled embarrassedly and scratched his ears.
Seeing that there was no way to take her, Shen An glanced back at the giant snake following behind them and asked, "What did you tell him that he decided to let us go?" Xie Wan was speechless.
"Actually, it's nothing, he probably mistook me for his kind.
Shen An looked at Xie Juan for a long time, and finally chose to believe her.
"Alright, let's go."
When they returned to the cave, Shen Wenling had already woken up, and Shen An poured out her snake repellent medicine and circled around. Seeing the two of them coming back, Shen Wenling's face was almost unbearable, what else did she have to say, but Xie Juan glared at her twice, and she didn't dare to say anything more. "That's the medicine my father needs."
As they were looking for an exit, Shen Wenling pointed to a red fruit blooming on the top.
Shen An picked up the medicine, and a few people went into the water to find the exit, and they were already waiting outside.
Hurriedly pulled them up.
Shen An took out the medicine and handed it to Feng Jue for safekeeping, and when he looked back, the giant snake appeared on the surface of the water with a pair of eyes. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
Xie Juan walked to the door of the cave, and the voice of the giant snake came: "You will come back again." ”
She turned her head and looked, Shen An and the others didn't react, and suddenly understood that only she could hear this voice.
"What's wrong?"
Shen An sensitively noticed that something was wrong with Xie Xuan, and stopped and asked.
Xie Juan turned his head and smiled, and said, "It's okay." ”
The group of them came out of the cave, and the time of this tossing was already noon the next day.
"Lord Wang...... Where are you? ”
"County Lord......"
In the distance, there was the shouting of the battalion, and they had not returned that night, and the people who had remained in the camp had already found them.
Feng Jue whistled, trying to lure everyone over.
Shen An frowned, watching Xie Juan's clothes wet and sticking to his body, outlining the unique curves of a girl. I didn't think much of it in the cave before, but now I realize that it is very inappropriate.
He untied the cloak behind him, put it on Xie Juan's body, and looked away.
"Don't catch a cold."
The cloak was wet, but mixed with the scent of wood on Shen An's body.
Xie Juan watched everyone deliberately turn their heads away, and immediately understood Shen An's thoughts, and lowered his head to tie his cloak.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the company camp had already arrived.
"Master, are you alright?"
"The medicine has been obtained, get ready, let's go back."
After taking a few steps, several people heard an exclamation from behind, Shen Wenling's face was a little unnatural, and his ankles became more and more swollen.
"Cousin......"
Shen Wenling looked at Shen An pitifully.
Xie Juan wrapped his cloak and stood in front of Shen An, just cutting off the sight between the two people.
Her fingers kept swirling on Shen An's body, and the thick vinegar was permeating between the two.
Shen An opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Xie Xuan's fingers were already covering his lips.
Shen An lowered his head and saw Xie Xuan's eyes wanting to say goodbye, and his arms wrapped around his neck.
"I'm tired of walking, you carry me."
With a little willfulness and coquettishness,
Shen An swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Xie Juan was reluctant to approach him before, but this was the first time she took the initiative to approach him.
"Okay."
Shen Wenling could only swallow the words that he hadn't said yet, and watched the two of them walk away, so angry that his eyes turned red.
The Empress Dowager gave her a plan all the way, how to cultivate a relationship with Shen An on the road, but in the end, she was ruined by Xie Xuan.
Shen An picked up Xie Juan on his back, only to find that Xie Juan was very light, like a cat, and he didn't know where the usual food went.
"Beacon ......"
Shen An shouted, Feng Jue had already taken a few steps, and immediately stopped when he heard the words.
Shen An tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Shen Wenling behind him, but he still didn't understand.
"The master made it clear."
Shen An coughed, he couldn't ignore Shen Wenling.
"You go find two stretchers nearby and carry the county lord to the camp."
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Only the blue face was left.
The road on the road is not easy to walk, let alone carrying a person, Shen Wenling wanted to cry without tears, and watched Shen An carry Xie Juan back to the camp first.
Back in the camp tent, Xie Juan waited for Shen An to clean up, Shen An inadvertently raised his head, and saw Xie Juan eating the jerky in his hand in a daze. "What's wrong?"
"Don't you think it's strange when you think about why there are snakes on King Ping's body?"
"We'll find out when we go back."
The two were talking when there was a sound of footsteps outside.
"Cousin, may I come in?"
The two glanced at each other, Xie Juan opened the curtain and looked at Shen Wenling with his hands folded.
"No, you can't."
When Shen Wenling saw Xie Xuan, his voice suddenly weakened a lot.
"Sister-in-law......"
Shen An followed out and stood next to Xie Xuan.
"What's the matter?"
Shen Wenling saw Shen An come out, smiled, and said, "I didn't see it clearly just now, but now I come here to see the medicine that my cousin just picked." ”
Shen An was about to take it out, but Xie Juan pressed his hand and said, "I don't think you want to see medicine, you want to see people." ”
Xie Xuan's voice was not small, and the people around him heard it, and raised their heads to look at Shen Wenling from time to time.
Shen Wenling's face suddenly turned red, and he took a step back and said, "Sister-in-law, how can you look at me like this......"
