Li Deyu smiled and said, "Hey, what's this, our archaeological team hasn't seen anything, and your situation is not a special case." ”

Zhao Wen chatted with Li Deyu for a few words, and learned from Li Deyu's mouth that since they didn't go up to Snake Mountain, they would return after a day of rest in the local area.

Originally, Zhao Wenxian wanted to arrange a spare room in the village for them, but Li Deyu refused, saying that he didn't want to cause trouble to the villagers, so they just lived in the car.

Li Deyu insisted so much that Zhao Wenxian was not reluctant, he only said that he could tell him if he needed anything, and told Li Deyu the address where he lived.

Seeing off Zhao Wenxian, a young man behind Li Deyu stepped forward and whispered, "Teacher, let's really forget it?" ”

"How is that possible?" Li Deyu sneered: "The one surnamed Zhao thinks we are all fools, snake god, I also return the dragon god!" ”

The young man also smiled, in their eyes, Zhao Wenxian's opposition to them going to Snake Mountain was nothing more than two possibilities, the first was that they had low cultural quality, they did not have science and knowledge to arm their minds, and their minds still had the thoughts of those feudal bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods. There are no gods and ghosts in this world, only science.

If that's the case, it's okay, the key is the second point, they probably knew that there was an ancient tomb on Snake Mountain, and deliberately didn't let the archaeological team go up, so they made up the snake god to scare them, the purpose of which was probably to wait for them to leave, go up and dig out the antiques in the tomb themselves, and then take them to auction.

You must know that Chinese antiques are very famous in the world, and the minimum for any one is hundreds of thousands.

Li Deyu had already seen this, so he didn't have a clear conflict with Zhao Wenxian, he had already planned, and in the dead of night, he would come to a dark Chen Cang, cut first and then play, and quietly take people to Snake Mountain and dig out the ancient tomb of Snake Mountain.

Zhao Wenxian naturally didn't know all this, and he sent someone to send some local specialties to the archaeological team that night.

"Oh no, no, the village chief open the door quickly!"

Zhao Wenxian was about to rest, when suddenly Xiao Zhang's shout came from outside, he hurriedly opened the door and asked, "What's wrong Xiao Zhang, don't panic, speak slowly." ”

"Village...... The village chief, the people of the archaeological team are gone! Xiao Zhang gasped and said.

"Gone? You really didn't see anyone? Zhao Wenxian was also stunned.

"Yes, I've searched inside and outside the car, as well as in the vicinity, but I haven't seen a single figure." Xiao Zhang said with an anxious face.

"Is it ......?"

A terrible guess flashed through Zhao Wenxian's mind, and he hurriedly asked Xiao Zhang to gather the young and strong people in the village, and he ran alone to the place where the archaeological team stopped at the gate of the village.

He could clearly see through the glass that there was nothing in the car, and he remembered that when they came, there were all kinds of big bags and small bags in the car, and now ......

Zhao Wenxian had already determined that Li Deyu didn't listen to his words at all, and now that they had definitely gone up to Snake Mountain, it was estimated that this would already be in the depths of Snake Mountain.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhao, you guys quickly take someone to chase the archaeological team back, you must be fast!"

Zhao Wenxian had a knife hanging in his heart at the moment, and he suddenly found that they still knew too little about the snake god of Snake Mountain, what was in the depths of Snake Mountain?

The news that Li Deyu's archaeological team entered the depths of Snake Mountain quickly spread throughout the village like a gust of wind, and the people in the whole village were a little frightened after hearing about it, and many people came to the village gate to wait for the news with Zhao Wenxian.

This is destined to be a sleepless night.

The night passed, the sky was already slightly bright, and the whole village sat at the village gate and waited anxiously, although they all stayed up all night, but no one had the slightest sleepiness.

Zhao Wenxian kept pacing back and forth at the gate of the village, thinking to himself: "No, no one has come back after this night, and according to the time, it is enough to climb Snake Mountain back and forth twice." ”

As time went by, the uneasiness in Zhao Wenxian's heart became heavier and heavier, not only him, but even the villagers understood a little, they should have come back for so long.

When the time reached noon, I finally saw a few vague figures on Snake Mountain, and they got closer and closer, only then did they see that it was Xiao Zhao and Xiao Zhang, and there were three young people behind them, but they looked like they were walking

Very badly injured.

Zhao Wenxian didn't care about his old body, hurriedly ran over, helped Xiao Zhang, and asked, "What about the others?" Why are the five of you back? ”

Xiao Zhang's face was pale, and he fell directly into Zhao Wenxian's arms, and said weakly: "He's ...... They are all ...... They're all dead! ”

"Snake Mountain...... There are a lot of ...... on Snake Mountain Lots of snakes! ”

After that, Xiao Zhang passed out.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, wake up, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Wenxian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Subsequently, the five of them were carried by the villagers to the village doctor's office, and after examination, all five of them were bitten by a poisonous snake, and there were more than one wound.

Xiao Zhang died on the spot because the snake venom had been in his body for too long and was not treated in time.

Zhao Wenxian sent out more than 20 young and strong young men in the village last night, and now only five have returned, Xiao Zhang is dead, and it is still unknown whether the other four can survive, which makes Zhao Wenxian feel very uncomfortable.

After some treatment, except for Xiao Zhang, the other four people were saved.

Zhao Wenxian saw that Xiao Zhao was fine, and hurriedly went in to ask him what he had experienced along the way, and what Xiao Zhang's words meant.

Xiao Zhao recalled the experience of the night, cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his head, he calmed down, and said: "The depths of Snake Mountain are full of highly poisonous snakes, all kinds of species, you can see them everywhere on branches, rocks, cliffs, streams and roads, it's terrible, it's terrible, it's the first time I've seen so many snakes in my life!" ”

Xiao Zhao's words scared Zhao Wenxian a lot, where were there so many snakes in Snake Mountain in the past, or were they highly poisonous snakes, what did this snake god want to do?

Zhao Wenxian continued to ask, "Tell me about your experience in Snake Mountain. ”

Xiao Zhao nodded heavily and said: "After we went up Snake Mountain, we quickly found the archaeological team, but at that time there were only three of them left, and they ran down in a panic, we were trying to stop them, but soon we saw something surging rapidly behind them, and when we got closer, we saw that it was a group of snakes." ”

"There are a lot of us, it is inconvenient to run, at the beginning, several people fell into the snake group, directly tragically died, and then we scattered and fled, but the snakes run very fast in the jungle, and there are many of them, so ......"

Xiao Zhao didn't continue, and Zhao Wenxian could guess the rest without saying it, he let out a long sigh, and his eyebrows revealed sorrow.

"Village Chief, it's not good! Oh no! ”

At this time, a young man rushed in regardless of it, his face was frightened, and he said, "Village chief, something is wrong, you should go to the village gate to take a look!" ”

Zhao Wenxian frowned, didn't say anything, and strode towards the village gate.

At this time, the entrance of the village was full of poisonous snakes, densely packed with tongue cores, just looking at it made people frightened, Zhao Wenxian was also full of fear when he saw this scene, and he was very worried that these snakes would rush into the village.

He hurriedly asked people to take out all the realgar in the village and sprinkle it around the village, and the thick realgar breath really made the snakes restless and retreated one after another.

Zhao Wen took a breath first, and finally relieved his urgent need for the time being. However, the scene that happened later made him unforgettable.

Just when everyone thought that they were okay for the time being, suddenly the wind blew fiercely, flying sand and stones, this sudden change caught the villagers off guard, and they couldn't open their eyes one by one by the wind, and the original blue sky also darkened in an instant.

"Village Chief Zhao, do you remember how you promised me at the beginning?"

Suddenly, I don't know where this hoarse and strong voice came, which frightened Zhao Wenxian, he remembered this voice, this voice was the voice of the snake god who kept them peaceful for thirty years.

"Lord Snake God, I have offended Lord Snake God somewhere, and please make it clear." Zhao Wenxian knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"Humph! Untrustworthy villain, have you forgotten that you promised this seat that you would never step into the depths of the snake mountain again? ”

"Lord Snake God, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Zhao Wenxian hurriedly said: "We have always kept in mind what Lord Snake God ordered, and we never dared to disobey the yang and the yin, but this time the situation is special, and those archaeological teams do not listen to persuasion

wanted to go up the snake mountain to find the ancient tomb, and the villain was also worried that they would offend the snake god, so he sent someone up the mountain to chase him. ”

"Dare to quibble!" The snake god was furious and roared angrily: "Stupid human beings, this seat tells you that this seat can see through the deepest things in the human heart, including the secret thoughts in your hearts, who of you dare to say that you are not curious or have ever thought about what is in the depths of the snake mountain!" ”

"Besides, those outsiders want to go to Snake Mountain to shut down your business, and they can't manage it themselves, and they still have the heart to take care of others!"

"This ......"

Zhao Wenxian also understood the meaning of the snake god, as the so-called crime is not excused, this snake god deliberately took advantage of this incident to play on the topic, and there must be his purpose here.

Sure enough, the snake god continued: "This time I will not hold you accountable for breaking into the depths of the snake mountain, but from now on, you untouchables must sacrifice to this seat in the snake temple every five years, with a small sacrifice every five years and a major sacrifice every ten years. At the time of the 10th year, a pair of boys and girls under the age of five must be sacrificed to this seat! ”

"Ahh

Zhao Wenxian exclaimed, he never expected that the conditions opened by the snake god were so excessive, and the sacrifice of virgins and boys and girls was not clearly to eat children, and this matter could not be agreed.

Zhao Wen was categorical and said without hesitation: "Lord Snake God, you can do whatever you want us to do for you, but we can't agree to this boy's and girl's matter." ”

"How dare you disobey me!"
