In order not to delay our studies too much, the school reopened early on the weekend. I'm still the same, mixing things up during class and trying to write homework after class. But now with the selfless tutoring of Fat Boy and Su Mo, my grades should be slowly climbing.

Let's not mention the school for the time being, do you still remember the case of the evil way in Maoershan, the hedgehog spirit uncle I met? He took on the form of a human and sold fruit at the market, and I visited several times later. In recent days, I have been waiting for Shen Tuming to send the information of the first qualifying match, but I didn't expect the information to wait, but I waited for the hedgehog spirit to come to the door for help.

Here's the thing.

There is a snake mountain near the provincial capital, and you can tell from this name that the snakes on the mountain must be indispensable. So some of the descendants of the hedgehog spirit went to Snake Mountain to settle down, after all, the hedgehog is the natural enemy of the snake. However, these descendants are not goblins, but a group of ordinary little hedgehogs, the hedgehog spirit is hundreds of years old, and he heard that there are thousands of his children and grandchildren, and he can't recognize them all.

Originally, the little hedgehogs lived very peacefully, but they didn't expect that a big python demon appeared a few days ago, and the little hedgehogs didn't have the power to fight back at all, so they were all captured by the big python demon. Only the only little hedgehog escaped with injuries and ran to the provincial capital to ask the old hedgehog spirit for help. But recently it happened to be the old hedgehog spirit's period of weakness, and he couldn't make a move, so he thought of asking me for help.

The so-called weak period is a necessary pain for many monsters when cultivating, and generally the higher the mana, the longer the interval between the weak periods. According to the old hedgehog spirit, it enters a period of weakness every hundred years, sometimes lasting a few days, sometimes up to a month, during which it cannot use any mana, otherwise it will be in danger of dying. In addition to the period of weakness, the goblins also have to survive the tribulation, or five hundred years, or a thousand years, must go through a catastrophe, if unfortunately they cannot withstand it, the demon life has to come to an abrupt end.

I'm an old friend with the hedgehog, and there are pythons on Snake Mountain, which is also an extremely dangerous thing for humans, so I have to help him no matter what.

But I'm a little strange, what did the python do with so many little hedgehogs? The snake doesn't eat hedgehogs, is it just revenge?

I checked the situation on Snake Mountain on the Internet, and it turned out that I really found a legend about the python spirit.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a Biluo cave on Snake Mountain, which was bottomless, and if you threw the stone down, the sound of ding-dong would be endless. Legend has it that there lived a black python in the cave, and on the eve of his 500-year catastrophe, he knew that it was difficult to survive, so he asked a good man from a neighboring village to ask him for help. Hu Shanren thought: Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, even if it is a demon. So he followed the instructions of the python spirit, and waited at the entrance of the village at dawn the next day.

When the sun was on the third pole, I saw a farmer carrying a large cloth bag, which was swollen and fell together, as if something was struggling in it. Hu Shanren

It was immediately understood that the bag was the captured python spirit. Here we have to talk about the goblin catastrophe, not necessarily the thunder in our impression, but like the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties of learning scriptures from the west, there are all kinds of calamities, and there are even monsters who have to go through the love tribulation.

Hu Shanren hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute and invited the farmer home to drink tea. After a few words of greeting, Hu Shanren asked what was in the bag? The farmer replied, "It's a python." Last night I was guarding the peach orchard, and when I heard a noise in the middle of the night, I went out to see what was going on. I saw that under the moonlight, a dark and bright python coiled under the peach tree, did not move, and the surrounding leaves and grass were crushed, so I turned back to the house and picked up the cloth bag, lifted the snake seven inches and put the snake in, planning to send it to the shopkeeper's house tomorrow morning and sell it for a good price. ”

Hu Shanren thought that the python should have asked me for help after he was caught. So he asked the farmer, "How much silver are you going to sell?" The farmer replied, "This black python is bigger than all the previous ones, and it can be sold for at least five taels of silver." Hu Shanren said: "I will give ten taels, you sell it to me, and release it." When the farmer heard this, he pondered in his heart: Ten taels is good, and he said that he would release the life, and then I will catch it again, walk around his house, and sell it again, won't it be two ends of the money? Thinking of this, he immediately agreed, accepted the money and left.

After the farmer left, Hu Shanren carried the snake bag into the back garden, opened the cloth bag, released the weak python, the snake nodded to Hu Shanren three times to show gratitude, and then crawled around the garden for a week, and escaped back to the Biluo Cave of Snake Mountain through the back door.

The python knows the entuality, and after the Hu Shanren have been around for thousands of years, they have come to visit the cemetery every year on the festival day and Qingming. The descendants of the Hu family participated in the imperial examination and won the list many times, and gradually became a famous family. During the Qing Dynasty, a child of the Hu family returned to his hometown to invite someone to sing a big opera, and in the process of the performance, he suddenly saw a huge black shadow passing by the theater, circling for a while, and then turned into a gust of breeze and left.

Nowadays, in order to prevent people from falling into the cave, Biluo Cave has long been filled, and the tourism department only has set up a sign of "Biluo Cave Ruins" on it, which can be charged as a scenic spot.

The old hedgehog spirit asked the little hedgehog spirit to show me the way, and the little hedgehog spirit was called Huahua, because it had a scar left by the naughty child on its body, which looked like flower petals. It is the same as Xiaobai and Huang Tao, and it can't turn into a human form, but it has only practiced some spells and can speak out of its mouth.

Having said that, this time it was the demon that I had to deal with, so I summoned the yellow peach back, plus Xiaobai, I took the three monsters directly on the road. But it was strange to be surrounded by foxes, weasels and hedgehogs, and I had no car of my own, so I had to let the old hedgehog drive us to the foot of the mountain, but he did not go with us up the mountain, but went to the hotel alone to stay and wait for us to return.

Before leaving, I called Lin Siqi and invited her to go hunting monsters together, but she didn't seem to have much interest in monsters and simply refused, and I was very disappointed.

Xiaobai comforted me and said, "Don't be discouraged, master, maybe she's making excuses, it's not that she's not interested in monsters!" ”

"People aren't interested in me, are they?" I glared at Xiaobai fiercely, and said in my heart, are you so comforting!

The car soon drove to Snake Mountain, and after getting out of the car, the old hedgehog spirit told us to pay attention to safety, and then as soon as he opened the car door, he said angrily: "Look at what you made, it is noisy and smelly, and poke two holes in my car seat!" ”

"Senior, we didn't poke the hole." Xiaobai argued.

I saw Huahua say ashamedly: "Hehe, grandpa, I didn't mean it." ”

I joked, "Grandpa Bai, you have to check it carefully, in case there is a thorn in the flower, you will have to prick your butt." ”

The hedgehog essence is a folk white fairy, so the old hedgehog essence named himself and his surname is Bai, according to his age, he is hundreds of years older than me, but I can only call him Grandpa Bai.

After we parted, I let the three goblins go up the mountain on their own, and then we would meet in a place where no one was around. As for myself, I could only buy a ticket to the mountain for ten yuan, although it was not expensive, but I really envied the three of them, and I could sneak in while people were not looking.

There are many stalls selling small goods on the mountainside, which is a reserved item for almost every mountain climb. I casually walked to a stall where no one was around, pretended to pick something, and casually asked, "I heard that there are snakes on this mountain, is there anything that can prevent snakes?"

The stall owner said without thinking: "Come to wrap realgar powder?" Snakes are most afraid of smelling it. ”

This is true, the snake is very afraid of the pungent smell of realgar, and realgar is a stomach poison, even the snake demon is very afraid, and the effect of soaking in wine is better, because it is easier to volatilize. But I knew that I was here to catch the python demon, so I must have prepared these materials a long time ago, and I didn't need to buy them from him.

I pretended to pick up a packet of realgar powder, and then asked, "It seems that someone has seen a big python in the mountains recently, have you heard of it?" ”

"Python? I haven't heard of it. The stall owner shook his head, "But I've heard something quite mysterious." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you want to buy it?" The stall owner asked rhetorically, "I don't know if I don't buy it." ”

"Buy it." I said in my heart that you are really good at business, but I had to pay for a pack of realgar powder, and I don't know if he was adulterated with impurities.

The stall owner then recounted: "Two days ago, a hunter went up the mountain to hunt snakes, and he was about to fight, but as soon as he took aim, he turned into a woman, and when he looked up, he saw that it was still a big snake, and it was like this several times, and finally he didn't dare to fight, and he said that he would never go up the snake mountain to catch snakes again." ”

After listening to him, I walked away with a blank face anyway, because I knew that he was talking nonsense and fooling me.

Who catches snakes with a gun? Can that be beaten to death?
