This piece of information makes us confused, meaning, let's go find this place?

Then you say it bluntly, why beat around the bush? Tell us the snake fairy's hiding place directly, won't it be over?

Hu Qingqing opened her moist red lips and frowned: "This Chen Shanhuo is not a good thing at first glance, sneaky, hiding in the dark and not daring to show up, and still has the heart to give us a dumb riddle?" ”

I touched my chin and smiled bitterly: "Sister Qingqing, Chen Shanhuo is our senior brother." ”

Hu Qingqing said with an arrogant face: "If you want me to recognize him as a senior brother, he must also have that ability." ”

The female fox is not used to it, I am on an equal footing with her, and I haven't heard her call me a junior brother, not to mention Chen Shanhuo, who is plain in his life.

With Hu Qingqing's character, when he sees Chen Shanhuo himself, he has to be counted down.

Taking advantage of Hu Qingqing's whining, Su Yao replied shyly on her toes, her red lips imprinted on my cheeks, and then quickly helped me wipe off the lipstick marks.

After kissing, the little girl smiled sweetly at me, I took her in my arms, my heart melted, and the haze of the night party was swept away.

Cui He took his junior brother's mobile phone, read it through, and said expressionlessly: "Ask." ”

This metaphysical predecessor of the mirror cave has a silent and introverted personality, cherishes words like gold, and never talks nonsense, we are all used to it.

I found the innkeeper and asked him, "Boss, is there a White Horse Ancient Road west of Phoenix Town?" ”

The boss was 1.5 meters tall, short and capable, and he was also a neat person, so without saying a word, he took out a blank piece of paper and drew it blindly:

"Phoenix Mountain, famous for tea, this White Horse Ancient Road, in ancient times, was a tea road, specially for the tea merchants who came from the south to the north, in that era of war and chaos, the tea merchants did not bring one hundred and eighty bodyguards around them, how dare they go far away?"

I coughed and motioned for him to make the point, and the boss continued: "The former White Horse Ancient Road was gone 800 years ago, and even if there were, the location must be very remote, and I really don't know where it is." ”

I took out two hundred yuan from my pocket and handed it to him, and the boss took the money and smiled: "I remember, I went out of the county town to the west, walked ten miles of mountain roads, there was a fork in the middle, turn ...... this way"

He drew a rough route map on the paper, and I asked him again, "Is there a Eight Immortals Hotel on the White Horse Ancient Road?" ”

The boss touched his chin and pondered: "Birds don't fly to that place, who opens a restaurant on the White Horse Ancient Road?" Don't lose money and die? ”

It seems that the only way to look for it is to go to the place.

I beckoned everyone to leave the inn and set off for the White Horse Ancient Road.

On the way, I was also thinking, why didn't Chen Shanhuo directly report the address? If you have to play dumb riddles with us, I don't know what it means.

Leaving the county, the road is not easy to walk, the west of Fenghuang County, is the deep mountain old forest that can not be seen at a glance, the feet are surrounded by all kinds of needles, shrubs, slippery moss, the top of the head is dark and does not see the day, soon after entering the mountain, the temperature suddenly dropped by five or six degrees.

In the primeval forest of Xiangxi, the unique trees are something I have never seen in the Northeast, there are more than two people thick, more than 20 meters high Masson pine, thicker tulipwood, you can see prickly plum everywhere around, colorful wild mushrooms, blooming like flowers.

I held Xiao Duo in my arms and walked forward in the mountain road, walking for half an hour, Hu Qingqing and Su Yao whispered a few words, turned around and said:

"You wait a while, I have something to do with Su Yao, I'll come when I go."

I leaned over like a fool: "Wait, I'll be with you." ”

Hu Qingqing and Su Yao's delicate faces suddenly turned red, and they glared at me fiercely, and they both went into the forest without looking back.

It dawned on me that I couldn't stand it, even Cui Taichu couldn't stand it, and laughed at me on the side: "You guy, you're still confused!" ”

After waiting in place for a while, the two girls came back with red faces, and everyone continued on their way.

In the morning, we finally arrived at the legendary White Horse Ancient Road.

The so-called ancient road is just a two-meter-wide mountain road, and there is a sign next to it: "Eight Immortals Hotel, normal business." ”

Here, it is already far away from Fenghuang County, on both sides of the mountain road, there is a dense primeval forest, and the road is filled with white fog, not to mention living people, ghosts do not come to this place.

The silence around me was very depressing, which made me strange, obviously in the spring forest, there were no birds or animals.

Walking to the end of the mountain road, on the side of the road, there is a crooked and slanted restaurant, and there is a broken wooden sign in front of the door: Eight Immortals Restaurant.

It's not like a restaurant at all, it's more like a makeshift toilet.

We walked into the hotel and took a look, everywhere was in tatters, a space of about ten meters, and two square tables were set up, on which were placed chopstick holders and chili bottles.

In recent years, restaurants that don't use disposable chopsticks are rare.

In the kitchen of the back room, a bulging fat head came out, it was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, who smiled at us and greeted:

"How many people, come and eat snakes?"

He came out of the kitchen and beckoned us to take a seat: "Eight Immortals Restaurant, only make snake meat, nothing else except snakes, grass snake dry stir-fry, spicy, poisonous ring flower snake soup, triangular head steamed to eat, bamboo leaf green snake and little hen stewed, the most fragrant ......"

It turned out that it was a snake house.

I saw that this fat boss looked cute, so I asked him: "Big brother, we are not here to eat snakes, and I will inquire with you about individuals." ”

The hundred-yuan bill was handed over, the fat boss accepted the money, and Lehehe brought the teapot: "Who do you ask?" ”

"Old snake flower."

The fat boss looked out the door: "He's supposed to be here soon, it's estimated that he will be there in a while." ”

From his mouth, we know that the old snake flower is actually a snake catcher, which is an ancient and mysterious profession that lives on snakes.

Hearing the word snake catcher, everyone's faces turned pale, Cambrian caught the snake and killed the snake, and we are here to protect the snake.

Chen Shanhuo arranged for us to meet with the snake catcher, what does it mean?

Could it be that the snake catcher is also a member of the Cambrian?

Cui He sat at the table, his sleeves faintly shining with the cold light of the mirror, and his whole person became as sharp as a mirror.

The rest of the people were also secretly ready to do it, and in the Eight Immortals Hotel with a big palm, there were cold murderous opportunities.

The fat boss immediately saw that something was wrong, gasped, and hid aside and didn't dare to say anything.

After waiting for about ten minutes, two ethereal footsteps were heard in the distance.

Here it comes!

I looked out the door, and there were two snake catchers, one old and one young, both in old military uniforms, and they had snakeskin pockets tied around their waists, which were covered with castor oil, and the snakes could not climb out.

Everyone stared at the old military uniforms on their bodies, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, they were not Cambrian people.

The two snake catchers entered the restaurant and sat down at another table.

The old one, probably in his fifties, had dark skin and scars, as if something had bitten his whole face to pieces, blind in one eye and cloudy in the other, staring at us. The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, pulling the scars all over his face, looking like a cold and venomous old snake.

The young man beside the old snake should be his apprentice, a skinny little half-grown child.

When I came to Xiangxi, I found that the people here are generally not tall, and most of them are thin.

The boy also looked at us with a grim face, with obvious hostility in his eyes.

The fat boss greeted them warmly, and whispered to us for guidance: "This old snake maker, very famous, he has been catching big snakes in Yunnan and Xiangxi all his life, and making a living from it, one year, he drove a giant python from Guilin to Xishuangbanna, and drove it for three whole months. ”

"You see, the wounds on his face are all snake bites, and he has poison in his body, not to mention that mosquitoes dare not bite him, even if he spits, he can poison a bunch of ants!"

…… This snake catcher, it's not easy, the craftsmanship is all ancestral, you see the buttons on his two clothes, they are all sewn by themselves, inside is a pill made of poisonous insects and honey, bitten by a snake, unbutton can be detoxified.

The fat boss took my money, so he introduced it very carefully: "On their waist, there is a six-piece bamboo waist card, which can be stretched to prevent the big snake from wrapping around the waist." ”

I squinted my eyes and carefully looked at the Taoism of this old and young man, and my heart was even more relaxed - the master only had the realm of enlightenment, and the young man had never even been in contact with his aura, and he was completely a lifelong melon egg.

The old snake handed the sack full of snakes in his hand to the fat boss, in exchange for a wad of bills, he couldn't count them, stuffed them into his pocket, and still stared at us with his cloudy old eyes.

At our table, the weakest Dao is the Rakshasa Realm, but he has no fear, grinning coldly:

Cambrian ...... What a big scene, Xiangxi can produce many people, and it's not your turn to go wild! ”

I hurriedly arched my hand at him: "Master, you misunderstood, we are not Cambrians. ”

Cui Taichu also spoke: "On the contrary, we are here to fight against Cambrian. ”

Cui He said succinctly: "Cambrian, kill!" ”

The old snake was stunned, looking at us suspiciously, and after a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing at the Eight Immortals Hotel?" ”

"I'm looking for you."

I looked at him directly: "If you know Cambrian, you must also know that their plot in Xiangxi, we must find the snake fairy as soon as possible and protect it from being killed by these people." ”

The old snake nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

He got up and left the Eight Immortals Hotel with his apprentice, everyone followed, Su Yao asked him curiously: "Master, what do we say, you believe it, you don't have to be suspicious?" ”

The old snake looked back at her and smiled fiercely: "I have dealt with poisonous snakes all my life, and I can't even distinguish between good and evil, then I will live in vain!" ”

"My gut tells me you're not bad people."

I took a deep interest in the snake catcher's trade, and as I went, I inquired about him, and the old snake was not afraid of it, and told me:

"People are humane, snakes have snake paths, small snakes do not move their nests, big snakes are different, pythons with thick trunks, twist their waists, they are dozens of meters away, and there are really not many animals that can run through snakes."

"The big snake is not easy to chase, and if I encounter a powerful big snake, I may not be able to catch it for a few months. But since there are people who catch snakes, and there are people who catch people, people who are entangled by snakes have their waists tightened more and more, which is called Hades wrapping their waists, but you can't see what is strangling you, and finally you break your waist and die. ”

"Our business, ordinary people can't understand, snake catchers, worship snake fairies, we catch poisonous snakes, strange snakes, demon snakes, and make a living from it, but there is really a fairy spirit, a snake fairy who can transform into a human form, we dare not touch it, the snake fairy you want to find is the soul totem of all snake catchers in the whole Xiangxi."

"The snake fairy also hates those poisonous snakes, so our business is recognized by its old man."

I handed him a cigarette, and the old snake took it and didn't smoke it, but put it on his ear, but the little apprentice next to him, skillfully swallowing clouds and spitting out fog.

"Cambrian wants to come to Xiangxi to catch snakes, they are the sworn enemies of snake catchers, you are against Cambrian, you are friends."

The old snake walked very fast, and took us around the primeval forest, and walked for a while, when he suddenly stopped, sniffed vigorously with his nose, and said:

"There's dirt up ahead!"
