After Chen Ran grabbed the rope, he kicked on the stump with his strength, and stretched out his hand to me when the rope swung over.

Seeing that I was exhausted, I gritted my teeth and grabbed Chen Ran's hand and kicked twice in the air at the same time.

Both of us were struggling, he was holding on to me and I was holding on to the rope with my non-slip gloves.

I was afraid that this rope would not be able to support the weight of two people, so I said to Chen Ran: "Slide down." ”

He nodded, and like a monkey climbing a tree, he slipped down with a puff of smoke, and I followed.

The rotten master and the old wine caught the two of us steadily, and at this time, we couldn't take a break, so we picked up Brother Wu and ran.

I turned my head as I ran, and the white snake had closed its mouth, as if it had just opened its mouth and yawned.

Snakes have poor eyesight, but they have a good sense of smell and can quickly stick out their forked tongues to catch scents in the air.

Some snakes, such as pythons and rattlesnakes, also have a special sensory organ called a heat pit, which can detect heat energy.

With the heat pit, even in the dark, the snake can detect the location of the warm-blooded animal, the distance between it and the prey, and strike accurately.

I had a lot of thoughts in my heart that I couldn't escape.

The next second, I saw the snake fluttering, and then two pairs of wing-like things stretched out from a seven-inch position, and the white snake began to flutter non-stop.

The rotten master noticed my strange appearance, and followed my gaze, and he exclaimed, "Is this thing going to fly?" ”

I didn't answer the rotten question, but there is no doubt that it is trying to take off.

Probably because it was so big that the wings behind it didn't do it in the slightest.

For some unknown reason, at last the snake actually got angry, and grew its mouth towards the sky, making a hoarse sound.

Chen Ran covered his ears with a look of disbelief: "Brother Huai, what the hell is this thing?" Jiao? ”

As soon as Chen Ran said this, I suddenly remembered that there was a saying in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that "hooked Chen Teng Snake".

And Teng Snake refers to a kind of snake that can soar through the clouds and mist, and it is said to be a fairy beast.

However, there is no description of its appearance in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", only a picture. Now in comparison, it's still a bit similar.

I thought about it, how much has Lao Jiu, a person who is proficient in feng shui, heard of it, because in feng shui, it is a divine beast alongside Gou Chen, and it is under the four elephants.

The "four elephants" are the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu. This shows the status of Teng Snake.

I looked at Lao Jiu and asked him, "Have you ever heard of Teng Snake?" ”

Lao Jiu nodded, and told us about the origin of the Teng Snake, what he said earlier was not much different from what I thought, but he added a little at the end.

He said that the four divine beasts are also the four beasts in the "six beasts" corresponding to the six hexagrams of Zhou Yi, collectively known as the "six gods".

They are the Green Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Gou Chen, Teng Snake, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, which not only represent the five elements and directions, but also reflect the hexagram information.

After finishing speaking, the rotten master asked a question that we couldn't answer: "So, this thing is real?" ”

I looked at Lao Jiu and didn't know how to answer his question.

Chen Ran stood up at this time and discussed with everyone: "This question depends on how you understand it.

Assuming we have never seen a peacock, we cannot say that what is described in the book is false. In the same way, we have not seen the Teng Snake, so we cannot say that the Teng Snake does not exist. ”

Chen Ran's words were very wonderful, and I felt that he was talking nonsense, as if he understood something. But if you want to say what you understand, you can't say.

All of us were immersed in the atmosphere and looked like we were thinking about some life event.

I coughed and whispered, "It's a mistake!" Then everyone reacted and turned their attention back.

The rotten master was thoughtful at this time, and his eyes kept staring at me in a daze.

I leaned a little closer, but I saw the reflection of my back in his pupils.

The rotten master pulled me and immediately ran, and I saw the Teng snake following in his eyes.

It was very empty here, and after running for a long time, I felt that I was still within the range of the snake, so I broke free from the strength of the rotten master and stepped up.

The snake is very fast, even if the opponent is large. Seeing the appearance of the snake chasing after him, the rotten master suddenly understood something, and he yelled at us: "Run to the tree." ”

When Chen Ran heard this, he immediately jumped up and asked, "Master Rotten, aren't you harming us?" ”

As soon as I heard that, I immediately understood what he meant. I approached Chen Ran, grabbed his wrist and ran towards the ancient tree, not giving him a chance to resist at all.

Lao Jiu and Brother Wu, the two "old, weak, sick and disabled groups", were left behind by us. I saw that their situation was not optimistic, and I decided to help them.

Master Fu and I decided to go to the back to support them, and I beckoned Chen Ran as I ran back: "After you run over, look for the tree hole, there may be a mechanism, you be careful." ”

I didn't know that Chen Ranming didn't understand what I meant, so I added: "It may be at the root of the tree or on the tree, you hurry up!" ”

Chen Ran agreed to my words as if he didn't understand, and then ran away as soon as he slipped away.

I ran over to help Brother Wu, and Lao Jiu and Fu Ye followed behind us. I wanted to buy more time for Chen Ran, so I said to the rotten master: "Let them go first, let's walk around this thing." ”

I ran separately from Brother Wu first, ready to test who this thing was with.

Seeing that we were separated, Teng Snake stayed where he was for a while, and finally chose to follow me.

I said to myself, "I didn't expect you to like young lads!" ”

Then the rotten master asked Lao Jiu to run away with Brother Wu, and he came to support me.

Our intention is to get it out of the ancient tree and buy time for Chen Ran. So as soon as the two of us joined up, we ran in the opposite direction to them.

The snake followed us for a while, as if it had seen through our intentions, and turned to follow Lao Jiu and Brother Wu again.

I stopped and glanced at the rotten master, gasped and scolded: "I'm rubbing, why is this Teng snake so smart." ”

The rotten master also gasped and replied: "If you can live to this age, which one will not be fine?" I nodded, and that's not bad.

In order to attract the attention of Teng Snake, Master Fu and I found the torch from before, lit it again, and threw it at the snake.

The serpent turned its head to look at us, with a look of contempt in his eyes, and did not take us seriously at all.

Then he turned around and walked towards us unhurriedly, as if to say, "Since you have attracted my attention and want me to come, then I will satisfy you." ”

I glanced at the rotten master, and the rotten master said with a dark face, "I think it's scolding me." ”

I chimed in, "And they look down on us." ”

We exchanged glances with the rotten master, and we were ready to make a big move, so that the snake in this entry could see the wisdom of humans.
