28. The White Butterfly's Last Memories (15)
Li Ming and Zhao Deng hurriedly ordered the ship to dock to the shore for the time being, and then reported the matter to Guanghua, the general manager of the procurement. Guanghua is the eldest grandson of the fourth son. These three people are all the same age, they have grown up studying and practicing martial arts together since they were children, they all have extraordinary skills, and they all carry sharp swords with them, so let everyone wait first, and they will go to investigate the situation.
When the three of them entered the cross street, they saw that most of the houses here were destroyed, and a large white boat was parked at the ferry in the distance. So I asked a familiar store about what was going on. The owner of this hotel was secretly weeping, and the young man Ergou explained to them what had happened.
It turned out that a month ago, a loud noise was suddenly heard, as if the sky had fallen, and everyone ran out of the house to ask what was going on, but no one knew. On the second day, the inhabitants of the northwestern mountains fled, saying that the mountains had collapsed and that a monster had appeared, and that they could not be approached because of the miasma, and that the bold man had only seen a shadow, and that it was not very clear. For the next two days, the sound of the mountain collapsing was heard again. The steward of Qingluo Mountain sent several warriors to investigate. The warriors wore iron armor and carried antidotes, squatted outside the mountain for a day and night, and found that the cliff was pierced by something unknown through a large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters.
When the old man Ji in charge heard this, he immediately understood seven or eight points, and hurriedly sent someone to take a boat to the Zenith country on the sea to find a master named Taizhu. Half a month later, a big white boat came to the ferry, and two giants came down, each three times taller than the people here. The people of Qingluo Mountain were frightened when they saw it, and they were about to flee for their lives, but at this time, they got off the boat and the two of them were the messengers sent by Old Man Ji to the Zenith Kingdom for help. The two told everyone not to be afraid, they were here to help subdue the monsters in the mountains. Only then did everyone put their hearts at ease, looking at the tall bodies of the two giants, and seeing them tremble on the ground as they walked on the cross street, their hearts were still up and down.
The messenger led the two giants to meet Old Man Ji. Old Man Ji saw that it was not Taizhu, so he asked them why Taizhu didn't come.
The giant replied that Master Taizhu had died fifty years ago, and that they were the sons of Taizhu, one named Jinzhu and the other Yinzhu, and they were twin brothers; Master Taizhu explained to the two of them before he died, saying that more than a hundred years ago, Taizhu came to Qingluo Mountain with his father Yuanzhu, and put a young pet in the deep valley of the West Mountain to raise it, because this pet is a dryland dragon, with an extremely unruly personality and difficult to tame, so he wants to use the poisonous miasma here to restrain it, and it will take about a hundred years to be completely tamed. I didn't expect that there was still fifty years left, and the dryland dragon actually came out of the mountain ahead of schedule, and it was estimated that there was an accident inside. But don't worry, Taizhu has already explained the method of surrender.
When everyone heard this, the stone in their hearts fell to the ground. Then Old Man Ji arranged for someone to prepare a sumptuous wine and food, and gave the two giants a good reception. Because the giant's stature was so tall that the ordinary yard could not stand on it, the old man Ji sent someone to lead them to the river north of the village, where there was a rocky beach, very empty, and they could also wash the dust on their bodies. The giant had finished washing in the river, and it was already night. People planted a large circle of torches here, and put the wine and food one by one in the open space in the middle, all of which were big fish and meat, lest they not have enough to eat, and specially prepared two roasted whole sheep. The giant's moderate amount is also huge, and he doesn't use chopsticks, so he picks up the plate and bowl and pours the food directly into his mouth. This appearance frightened the people of Qingluo Mountain, and they came to watch it as a rarity. Then the two giants picked up a roast lamb like an ordinary person took a chicken leg, but they didn't even spit out the bones, but bit off the whole sheep's head in one bite, chewed it three or five times, and spit it it out.
Early the next morning, the two giants strode toward the mountain with a rope as thick as their arms in one hand and an iron rod like a doorpost, and put on their white masks. The bold offspring secretly followed over to see how the giant subdued the monster.
The golden and silver pillars entered the miasma, and after a long time, they heard the sound of a booming cage. It lasted until the evening, when everyone lit torches and stood outside the mountain and waited, when suddenly there was a loud noise that shook the sky, and half of the cliff on the opposite side fell down, and everyone fled back in fright. One or two bold people looked back and saw a monster the size of a small corner tower in the dust and mist rushing out, followed by the two giants. Comparing the two, the giant's height reached the monster's belly. In the blink of an eye, the monster rushed out of the dust and mist and rushed towards the fire, and now everyone saw its appearance clearly: the hard armor with pimples all over the body, the head the size of a water tank, the red eyes the size of two lanterns, and flashing and flashing, four legs, after the person stood up, with the speed of the thief running on the two hind legs, and the tail with the thickness of a tree trunk swept left and right, sweeping the two giants to four or five heels.
The people cried and cried, and the adults had just run back to the house with the baby in their arms, and the monster also came to the cross street, and the golden and silver pillars could not stop it, but they saw it go sideways, left and right, and turned the houses upside down, and destroyed them, and then ran into the field again. The two giants flanked left and right, and it took a long time to drive the monster back into the valley......
After Ergou finished speaking, Guanghua and the three of them were curious and got up and were about to run to Xishan, but Ergou hurriedly pulled them and said, "Others can't hide, you three just run there, don't you die?" β
Guanghua said: "We used to stand and look at it from a distance, and then we went back, and it was out of the way." As he spoke, he broke free from Ergou's hand, took Li Ming and Zhao Deng and ran away. After running six or seven miles of mountain roads, looking at a gap in the cliff, Zhao Deng pointed and said: "Two brothers, please look, it seems that it once collapsed, and now it is piled up again." The two looked at each other, and it was really as Zhao Deng said, but the fog inside was still there, and they couldn't go in to watch.
The three of them discussed, and Li Ming said: "That fog miasma is what the mountain people call the money miasma, how powerful it is, in fact, as long as you hold the spirit tablet and protect your face, it won't get in the way if you go inside, but I don't know how that monster is." β
Guanghua said: "Since that giant can't be captured, it is naturally very powerful." β
Zhao Deng thought for a while and said, "Whether it is a human or a monster, there must be a cartilage on the body that is not covered, as long as you find that place, it is not difficult to subdue it." β
Li Ming nodded and said, "I once saw that kind of spirit pill in the mountain people's house, saying that it was a pill made from a hundred kinds of spirit grass, and because I was curious, maybe it would be useful in the future, so I exchanged it for some, as well as a few pairs of protective gear, and now I brought them all and put them on the boat." Wait a minute, I'll pick it up and I'll come. β
The two sat on the mountain and waited. After a while, Li Ming came at a trot with a burden on his back, and when he came to him, he opened the baggage, took out three black pills, and divided one among each of them. So the three of them each cut a slice with a knife and put it in their mouths, and suddenly felt a taste of hard work, rushing straight to their heads, and their heads were dizzy. After a long time, after getting used to the bitter taste, I gradually felt deaf and refreshed, which was really a good thing!
The three of them put protective gear on their heads again, and then walked towards the mountain.
The cliff was originally very steep, but after the monster collapsed last night, the giants were stacked neatly, like steps, so it didn't take much effort for the three of them to reach the top of the cliff. After turning over this mountain, you will find that the north side is a wide valley, densely packed with countless towering ancient trees, stretching for hundreds of miles, there is no end in sight, coupled with the shroud of fog miasma, it looks very terrifying.
As the three of them slid down the cliff, they immediately smelled a smell of decay, which was probably caused by the accumulated fallen leaves on the ground. After walking two miles forward, they smelled a fishy smell mixed with the smell, and the three of them looked down at the mountain and were surprised: there were corpses and bones everywhere on the ground!
Li Ming broke a branch and turned over the bones to see what kind of beast it was.
Zhao Deng suddenly said: "What if this is a snake bone......
Li Ming retorted: "Where is the snake bone so thick! Look at this one, it's as thick as a human thighβ" Before he finished speaking, Guanghua said: "You take a good look at this valley, first of all, there is a poisonous miasma in it, and then the cliffs on the four walls are steep, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter. So if there is any poisonous insect here, and it happens that there are no natural predators, it is not surprising that it can grow so big. β
Li Ming asked, "Isn't there that monster here?" β
Guanghua said: "These bones are probably left behind by the monster. β
Li Ming asked again: "What should I do?" Are we going to move forward? β
Guanghua looked up and said, "Let's climb to the cliff on the west side." β
Both nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the scream of the monster sounded from the north, as if it was fighting. When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly quickened their pace and ran towards the west cliff. However, the accumulated leaves on the ground are too thick, and it is very soft to step on, so it is difficult to run. The sound was getting closer and closer, and it seemed like it was coming here. The three of them used all their strength to feed, and finally ran to the bottom of the cliff, using their hands and feet together, and quickly climbed up.
When I reached the top of the cliff, I looked down again, and I saw that the mist miasma was stirred by the monster, and from time to time it leaked out, and it seemed that it was not a giant, but something else. But where did the two giants go? Will it kill you? As he was hesitating, he saw the monster running towards the west cliff, stumbling on its head along the way, hitting countless trees, and finally resting on the cliff, when a loud noise was heard, and the stone wall collapsed in large pieces.
At this time, the three of them saw clearly that it was a bucket-thick python fighting the monster!
Probably because of the fight for a long time, both sides were a little tired, and they both retreated to avoid and rest for a while.
The monster crouched on the ground, its thick tail dragging and sweeping the ground, breaking the trees behind it; There are lumps all over the body, each the size of a person's palm, and it looks very thick; A big mouth was coarsely dressed, blood flowed from the mouth, and it fell to the ground with a thud. But its eyes were always fixed on the python forty meters away.
The python was covered with colorful scales, its head was pointed, its cheeks were round and bulging, and it seemed that its mouth was full of venom, and it would spray at it whenever the monster attacked; He also crossed his body on the ground, raised his head high, and spat out blood-red letters, with lightning speed.
This scene made the three people on the cliff dare not come out, covered their mouths, and quickly hid behind the rocks.
Suddenly, this brief calm ended, and the monster took a few steps back, made a momentum, and rushed towards the giant python with all its strength!
The giant python shook its head twice, and said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, and the colorful body flew away like a long rainbow, opened its bloody mouth, and spat out a fiery red letter, and bit the monster's jaw! The monster suddenly retracted its hind feet, and the man stood up, lowered his head, and opened his mouth to bite the python's body......
