Volume 5 The Ancient Kingdom of the Western Regions_Chapter 7 Agul
This man actually called out my name at once, and I was completely confused.
I frowned and said, "You know me?" ”
The man shook his head and said, "I don't know." However, our high priest said that there was a guest from outside, called Zhou Qing, and let us invite you into the valley. ”
I was even more confused, I had never been to the Valley of the Snakes, how could their high priest know me? There must be demons when things are abnormal, and in this case, I don't dare to rush in. I said, "Who are you high priests?" ”
The man said, "The high priest is the high priest." Mr. Zhou, please follow me into the valley. ”
I glanced at Wang Yijian, he nodded slightly, I agreed to come down, let the man lead the way in front, we walked all the way towards the snake valley, I thought that there were some people and snake monsters in this snake valley at first, and after walking in, I found that they were all normal people, but they were indeed dressed very strangely.
The man was basically shirtless, wearing a pair of trousers underneath, a turban around his head, and a snake coiled around his waist, and on his chest, there was also a tattoo, which was pierced by a snake. Their appearance is also slightly different from ours, and they should lose the appearance of belonging to ethnic minorities.
In the Snake Valley, it is not a desolate place, the whole Snake Valley is very large, there are oases, flowers and plants, and there are many people in it. The woman's upper body is a bit like a bikini, revealing a large area of skin, and a skirt on the lower body, but the skin is yellowish, and the woman's waist is not coiled with a snake, which is normal.
After we were brought all the way into the Snake Valley, we attracted the attention of the Snake Valley along the way, the most natural snakes in the Snake Valley are snakes, there are colorful snakes hanging on the trees everywhere, and they can be seen everywhere on the ground, fortunately we are not ordinary people, otherwise just so many snakes will be directly scared to the legs weak.
With the idea that what comes is safe, I kept following the man and didn't ask too much. I also have a lot of questions in my heart, how can this high priest in the valley of the snake know about me? Be sure to ask later.
After following the man for more than ten minutes, a huge castle suddenly appeared in front of him, the whole castle has a somewhat unique shape, there are stone snakes carved in stone everywhere, and outside the castle, there are many men standing, holding weapons in their hands, but it is a bit like a soldier standing guard.
Everything in the Valley of the Snake is not what I imagined. We walked along the steps outside the castle until we reached the entrance of the main hall of the castle, and the man said, "Mr. Zhou, you wait a minute, I will go and report to the high priest." ”
I nodded, and the man walked into the main hall, and I said to Wang Yijian, "Senior Brother Wang, what's the situation?" ”
Wang Yijian just said coldly: "Wait and see what happens, if there is a slight difference, kill it directly." ”
After a while, the man walked out and said, "Mr. Zhou, the high priest is invited." But they can only rest in the side hall, and the high priest will only see you alone. ”
I shook my head and said, "No." Wang Yijian touched me, gave me a look, and motioned me to investigate the situation first, and then I agreed, and the man asked me to go into the main hall by myself, saying that the high priest was already waiting for me, and he led Wang Yijian and them to the side hall.
The whole hall is very empty, I walked straight in, there are many murals hanging around the hall, as soon as I entered the hall, I smelled a faint fragrance, very comfortable, but I did not relax my vigilance because of this, secretly guarded, all this is a little weird, I have to be careful. After entering the main hall, I saw a man sitting on a chair above.
This man looks like he is only in his twenties, but his appearance is extremely handsome, Long Xuan and Wang Yijian can be regarded as Long Fei among people, extremely handsome, but this man is better than them in appearance, and even I think he can no longer be described as handsome, can be described as beautiful, if he is made up as a woman, this is definitely a great beauty who captivates the country and the city.
The man was sitting on a chair with a colorful robe on his body, and when he saw me, he stood up directly and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
I said defensively, "You know me?" ”
The high priest stood up and said, "I don't know, but I know that you will come." I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Agul, the high priest of the Serpent Clan. ”
I didn't sit down, and said straight to the point: "How did you know I was coming?" ”
Aguli raised his head and laughed and said, "Not long ago, a guest came to Snake Valley, his name is Long Xuan, do you know him?" ”
As soon as I heard the word Long Xuan, the whole person suddenly said with some excitement: "Of course I know, he is my senior brother." Where is he now? "Sure enough, Long Xuan has been to Snake Valley, but what Long Xuan is doing in Snake Valley, it's worth thinking about. Aguli sat down and said: "That's right, your senior brother is really powerful, our snake clan can't find a person who is his opponent, I fought with him, lost to him, and then we became friends." I don't know where he went, but he said that within three months you would come to the Snake Valley and let me entertain you. ”
I frowned when I heard this, Long Xuan's strength was undoubted, but how would he know that I was coming to Snake Valley? You know, if it weren't for the Nine Heavens Mirror, I wouldn't have come to the Western Regions at all, and our original destination was not Devil's City, but the Loulan Ancient Site, all because we met the middle-aged man on the road and found Qingyu, so I found it all the way to Snake Valley, could it be that all this was already in Long Xuan's calculations?
I went through everything in my head, and the more I felt a little uneasy in my heart, it was all too coincidental.
From the time we were in Dunhuang, we found that piece of green jade, it was a coincidence, and then the clues of green jade led us here, I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong, since Long Xuan had been to Snake Valley, then he naturally wouldn't harm me.
Aguli said, "What are you thinking? I don't think I'm lying to you, do I? ”
I came back to my senses, the corners of my mouth twitched, and said, "Then why did my senior brother come to Snake Valley?" ”
The high priest said, "He came to the Valley of the Serpent and borrowed something from me, and when he had it, he departed." Before leaving, he asked me to tell you, so I stayed in the Snake Valley and waited for him, and when he was done, he would come to the Snake Valley to find you. ”
I looked at the High Priest intently, hoping to see some flaws in his eyes and expression, to be honest, I didn't really believe what he said, it wasn't like Long Xuan's style of acting. If he really wants to send me a message, why bother? If what Aguli said is true, I think Long Xuan deliberately brought me here.
I suddenly thought of the corpse outside the Snake Valley, and asked him Agul, who was the corpse outside the Snake Valley? Aguli shook his head and said, "Outside the Snake Valley, there are occasionally some ill-intentioned people who come to provoke and be killed, and there are one or two corpses, isn't it normal?" I am friends with Long Xuan, since you are his junior brother, then you are also my friend of Aguli, you can stay in the Snake Valley, our snake clan will definitely treat you as a guest, you wait for Long Xuan to come back, when the time comes, if you want to ask, you can ask him directly. ”
Aguli said this, from the side hall walked in a woman, the woman's walking posture, as if a water snake writhing, very charming, she came over with two cups of hot tea, Aguli said: "Taste it, this is our snake clan's special snake tea, you have never drunk it, even Long Xuan is full of praise." ”
I took the teacup from the maid's hand and smelled it, and it did have a very peculiar smell. I put the teacup next to me and said, "Since Senior Brother Long is not in any danger, then I have to go and talk to my friends, whether I want to stay or not, I still need to discuss." ”
Aguli smiled: "This is natural, if you stay, you are a distinguished guest." If you want to go, we will definitely not stop you, in fact, I like your Central Plains culture very much, you and Long Xuanshi are from the same family, both are from the Taoist sect, you should be very powerful, right? Otherwise, let's talk about it later? ”
I waved my hand and said, "Senior Brother Long's Dao Spirit, I don't deserve to mention it. Then I'll go to my friend first. After that, I turned around and was about to leave, Aguli said, "This snake tea is really delicious, it's a pity that you don't taste it?" If it's cold, it won't taste good. ”
I glanced at the teacup, picked it up, took a sip, and said, "Sure enough, it's good tea." ”
There was a wicked smile on Aguli's face at this time, which made me feel uneasy.
