I tossed all night last night, and I slept very soundly, and when I got up in the morning, there was no one in the house, and Brother Hao didn't know when he had gone out.

After washing, I went downstairs to have some breakfast, and saw that Brother Hao had finished eating, and was sitting there haggling, especially Brother Hao, who was bright and eyebrows dancing.

The second grandfather and Laifu also sat and ate, "Second grandfather is early!" I sat down and said hello to the second grandfather, the second grandfather nodded to me, I quickly sat down to eat something, and when I was stuffing the buns into my mouth, the second grandfather got up and went back to the room, and said when he walked past us: "You will come to my room after eating." "I knew that something was happening again, so I hurriedly finished the porridge, and I didn't bother to wipe my mouth, and I was dragged upstairs by a big fuss.

When I arrived at the second grandfather's room, the second grandfather was still sitting under the window, and at this time I found that Uncle Ma was also there, and his white hair was particularly eye-catching. The two old men sat together, both in good spirits and shining with each other.

The second grandfather beckoned us to sit down, and asked Laifu to pour a glass of water for the three of us, and I just took a sip of the teacup, when I heard the second grandfather say: "I called you here today to tell you the purpose of our trip, Uncle Yu, you can tell you!" "Okay, Brother Zhang", after speaking, Uncle Ma suddenly bowed to us, originally we all sat down, and we all stood up in fright, I don't know what this old man means by suddenly coming out like this.

Uncle Ma raised up and looked at the three of us and said: "Don't hide a few, I think a few people have also seen it, my daughter Dandan's health is not very good, she is sick, and it is a congenital hidden disease, and she will be in a coma for several days after an attack", the three of us were a little surprised, I saw that this girl named Dandan was a little weak, but I didn't know that this was the case, "An old doctor showed her before, and asked her to eat the snake gall bladder of the cockscomb snake, and she ate several pairs, but she was never cured, In the end, someone asked me to go to Zhongnan Mountain to find Li Hengyuan for treatment, and Li Daochang told us that in order to cure this poison, we must find Yu Zhu! ”

The three of us are like listening to a book from heaven, completely confused, what kind of Taoist? What beads? Uncle Ma continued: "Yu Zhu is very rare, we must find the Yu who is about to transform into Jiao and has not yet crossed the catastrophe, we used all the relationships of our Ma family, and we went through a lot of hard work to find this one, but it is very difficult to deal with, we went to fold in last time and several brothers did not catch it, we really have no way, so we found Brother Zhang to help." The second grandfather nodded and said, "That thing is in Nanping Mountain on the edge of this West Lake, and we are going to leave tonight." ”

I was thrilled to hear this, this is really a long insight, unheard of. Brother Hao suddenly interjected: "If I'm not mistaken, the grass we went to pick last night is Xilong Grass, which is specially designed to avoid snake venom!" "Well, this grass is only found in Jingci Temple in the south, and there are a lot of poisonous snakes under the patio of the apse of Jingci Temple, and the monks in the temple specially planted this grass in order to avoid snake venom. The second grandfather said: "I'll arrange the tasks of the three of you tonight, make a fuss and be responsible for the trap arrangement, Haozi and Uncle Ma are in charge of the herbs together, and Jianjun will be on standby with me at any time." Do you understand? "The three of us should be here in unison." Leave at 10 p.m. so you can rest during the day. That's it, you guys go back first, I still have something to talk to your Uncle Ma. ”

The three of us exited, walked to the door of our room, and found that the big fuss had not returned, "Come and sit in your room." "Entering the house, Brother Hao and I lay down on the bed, and sat at the coffee table in a big way, and everyone didn't speak, "What the second grandfather said just now is true?" Da Hao couldn't help but speak first, "Brother Hao, you are very knowledgeable, tell me, what's going on?" Brother Hao smoked a cigarette and squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. The Lord is very difficult to deal with tonight, so be careful tonight! Brother Hao suddenly spoke, "I said it's ugly, this thing is about to become a sperm, and I don't feel that we can deal with it anymore." I listened to the drumming in my heart, I took a few puffs of cigarette, this is beyond the scope of knowledge, I have been educated in atheism for so many years, but now what I hear has subverted my worldview, staring at the ground for a long time, suddenly I got up and walked out, and slammed the door shut. I looked at the door in a daze, and suddenly my fingers had a sharp pain, and I found that the smoke was burned, so I quickly shook off the cigarette and smacked it with my mouth.

In addition to going downstairs at noon to have a meal, this day has been resting in the hotel, the enemy is current, we are not in the mood to laugh, the nerves are very tight, I fell asleep on the bed, I woke up and didn't know what time it was, looked at the watch, more than 7 o'clock, the head was groggy to sleep, glanced at the bed next to me, I didn't see Brother Hao, looked up, I saw Brother Hao standing by the window and looked out, I didn't turn my head when I woke up, I was a little strange, rubbed my eyes, rubbed my hand on my face, also got up and walked to Brother Hao's side, learning him to look out, but he couldn't see anything, "What are you looking at?" I asked strangely, but Brother Hao still didn't move, "It's foggy!" "I heard him speak in a slightly wrong tone." What's wrong with fogging? Isn't it normal to fog up", "But if I told you that ten minutes ago it was clear outside! Brother Hao turned his head to look at me and said.

The fog is very thick, the window is white, and I can't see anything, listening to Brother Hao say this, I also feel that this is a little wrong, but I can't say it. I was just about to speak, but Brother Hao suddenly put his fingers up to his mouth and told me not to speak. There was a dead silence all around, in this dead silence, I heard something moving outside the window, very slightly, like the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, this sound was not loud but it made me nervous, and it made people very curious, I put my face on the window and tried to look out, the white fog was as thick as milk, floating in front of my eyes, in this white mist, in the direction of near Uncle Ma's room, I suddenly saw something writhing on the treetops, like a huge dead wood, I tried to open my eyes wide, but the vision was very blurry, At this moment, a gust of wind blew, the fog became a little thinner, and the dead wood twisted, and I finally saw clearly, oh my God! This is dead wood, this is a huge snake!

I was startled, screamed, my body unconsciously shrank back, Brother Hao was the same as me, took a step back, suddenly the wind outside the window was loud, the fog was churning, and it was quiet after a while, we looked at it again, the trees in the distance were already empty, I didn't come to my senses, I sat down on the bed, Brother Hao also sat down slowly with a heart, lit a cigarette with a trembling hand, I asked, "What is it?" "I don't know!" "But I don't feel good, I guess something will happen tonight!" "Are you coming at us?" Brother Hao didn't speak, quietly looked at the cigarette in his hand, we were relatively speechless, after a while, I stood up and looked out the window, the fog had dissipated, a bright moon hung in the sky, the treetops swayed gently in the breeze, rustling, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the quiet picture outside the window, my emotions slowly calmed down, everything I saw just now was like a dream, I picked up the phone, dialed the room for a big fuss, and picked it up after a big fuss, I asked him to come to our room, and soon, there was a knock on the door, and he walked in in black, carrying a bag in his hand, and threw it on the bed and said: "Tonight's clothes, you two should change them," "The fog just now is so big, fortunately it is now dispersed." He sat down and said. What's the matter with calling me over? ”。 I told Da Hao what I had just seen and Da Fu, and Da Hao frowned when he heard it, "I don't know if it has anything to do with tonight's action!" "I think it has a lot to do with it! Brother Hao suddenly spoke, "Do you know what this thing is?" Brother Hao looked at the two of us seriously.

The two of us were confused, and we both shook our heads, looked at Brother Hao, and waited for him to give an answer. Brother Hao sighed and said, "The Tao Te Ching says: Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. All things in the world are born in the Great Dao and grow according to the Tao, and all creatures follow the light of the sun and the moon to live between heaven and earth. According to the current view, living things have their own lifespan, birth, old age, sickness and death, even the spirit of all things, human beings cannot escape this law. But what makes the world wonderful is that there are always some variables. ”

I listened to him and continue, "We all think that one plus two equals three, or two plus one equals three, but one point five plus one point five also equals three", we didn't understand, he continued: "Most of the things in the world, either one or two, but there are always some outliers, they are not one or two, but one point five, these individuals are very rare. According to the current scientific point of view, snakes also have a lifespan, some may be longer, but only a hundred years, but there are many records that the lifespan of individual individuals has exceeded this upper limit, and American biologists have found snakes with a lifespan of 1,600 years in the Pacific Ocean. In our Southern Dynasty's "Narrative of Differences", it is given such a statement, the snake has changed into a dragon in five hundred years, a snake has become a dragon in five hundred years, and a dragon has become a dragon for a thousand years, which I have not seen, but there are many such records in ancient notes, including the official history, and many people think that this is a strange force and chaos, but I have always held the view that if I can't prove it, I should be cautious. According to the "Narrative of Differences", this is extremely rare, not close to the world, this kind of thing already belongs to the category of spirits, now I know why I am nervous. ”

"The fog just came and went for no reason, I feel like it has sensed something, and it came to the door first." "It doesn't matter which way it is immortal, if it meets me tonight, it will be its calamity!" Big fuss bit the butt of the cigarette and said fiercely. "I don't know what kind of friendship we have with this old man here, tonight's job can be regarded as licking blood from the knife edge!" I said, "I heard that this old man Ma saved the life of the second grandfather in the northwest before, and I don't know what the specific situation is," he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and stood up and said. "Get dressed and get ready to go." I glanced up at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost ten o'clock, and it was time to go.

Downstairs, the car was already parked outside, the door was open, Erzhu smiled and waved to us in the car, we took three steps and two steps, a cat waist got in, the butt just sat down, and it was not hot, and suddenly heard the second grandfather shouting: "Big trouble, get on this car!" After making a fuss, he opened the car door again and ran to the second grandfather's car.

The moment the car door closed, I saw Dandan standing at the door of the lobby looking at us, her short hair swaying in the wind, looking a little haggard again, I was a little afraid to look at her, and hurriedly took my gaze back. Then I felt the car sway, heading towards the unknown world.
