Chapter 39: Snake Valley
Looking at the four dry dead bodies in the stone room, I suddenly remembered the madman who escaped from the general's tomb in Luoma Village, and he desperately bit at the sight of bamboo poles and branches.
Jiang Qixi said that he used bamboo poles and branches as snakes.
My scalp is tingling, if that's the case, I'm afraid there will be snakes in this stone room!
The snake that scares people crazy!
I cautiously walked along the corner, hoping to find the mechanism and leave the stone chamber. I searched for a long time, but I didn't find any useful clues.
At this moment, I heard a faint sound from under my feet.
Not good! A snake is coming!
I jumped up in shock and climbed towards the crossbar where the dry corpse had been hanging earlier.
Suddenly, a snake head as big as a watermelon broke out of the ground, and a pair of snake eyes kept sweeping and swept towards me, and the snake body twisted violently a few times and swam towards me.
Frightened, my hand slipped and I fell to the ground.
The head of the snake opened its jaw, revealing a dense mass of broken teeth, and slammed it into my head. I hurriedly lifted the lightning strike wood, and I didn't care about it, and poked it forward.
I don't know if it was poked or not, the snake's head twisted wildly, and a very fishy smell of putrid came to my nose.
It seems that it was poked, and the lightning struck the wood, which is worthy of being a treasure. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I hurried forward.
It's just that right now, this stone chamber is sealed without a mouth, and when the serpent comes back to his senses, I will definitely die.
Suddenly, I spotted where the snake's head was sticking out, and there was a hole in the rubble that was messy.
Sticking out my head is a knife, shrinking my head is also a knife, and staying in this stone room is a death, I gritted my teeth and simply jumped into the stone cave where the big snake appeared.
Although it wasn't tall, I still broke my foot because I jumped too fast. I simply bit the lightning strike wood in my mouth and climbed in front of the cave with two hands.
Fortunately, this stone cave is not big, just enough to accommodate a person, and I am also a little thinner, except for the occasional head bump when I climb, nothing happens.
Not long after I crawled out, I could faintly hear the sound of a big snake behind me.
I don't know if this cave is the snake hole of the original big snake, the smell is extremely unpleasant, like a mouse that has been dead on the beam for many days.
As I crawled, I suddenly heard what seemed to be someone calling me, the voice was extremely faint and familiar.
Jiang Qixi?
I paused, and the big snake behind me was extremely fast, and it swept over at once, staring at me with its head held high and spitting out letters.
I held up the lightning strike wood, cold and cold, thinking to myself that if this big snake dared to rush over, I would poke it into a big hole again.
Chen Xichun ...... Run ......"
I heard the faint voice again, very similar to Jiang Qixi's hoarse voice when he was sick.
"Jiang Qixi! Where are you! I roared, my eyes red.
"Running ......"
The serpent rushed at me with his head held high and rubble.
In the roar, I couldn't tell the direction of Jiang Qixi's speech, so I had to quickly come back to my senses, raise the lightning strike wood, and stab it the head of the snake that pounced.
The hole was so small that the serpent couldn't avoid it, and it was poked in the head again and screamed angrily.
Not to mention this big snake, I myself am a little frightened, you must know that this lightning strike wood, in the past, poked the little ghost, it was either dead or injured.
Chen Xichun ...... Don't hit, run ......"
It's Jiang Qixi's voice again!
Taking advantage of the big snake's distraction, I hurriedly shouted, "Jiang Qixi, where are you, give me a letter!" ”
"Snake ...... Belly. ”
Hearing this, I was shocked, and when I looked under the belly of the serpent, I could faintly discern a vague figure.
I remembered that when the ghost snow closed the town, the old snake with flower skin that entered the ancestral hall swallowed a woman alive, and when the snake's belly was dissected, only a wet corpse remained.
"Jiang Qixi! I'll save you! "I was like crazy, holding the lightning strike wood and rushing towards the serpent.
"I don't have the strength anymore, I'm sleepy......" Jiang Qixi's voice became weaker and weaker.
I was afraid that Jiang Qixi would fall asleep, and I wouldn't wake up after sleeping.
"Jiang Qixi, don't sleep, don't sleep, when you get out of the tomb, I'll make you old chicken soup."
"You boil old chicken soup...... Too light. ”
"Don't worry, don't sleep, don't sleep, I'll put more wolfberries, Yuanrou mountain ginseng."
Jiang Qixi didn't answer me again, I looked at the bulging snake belly, and my heart was bitter.
The serpent had come back to his senses, and with its rough skin and thick flesh, it pounced on me again, and never stopped.
"Chen Xichun, I'm protecting you!"
"Jiang Qixi, I have to protect you when I grow up!"
In this life, there is always someone who makes you fight desperately like a madman, even if you are facing an unclimbable mountain, you have to go.
Because, she is waiting for you, expecting you to appear like a hero, with a long sword in her hand, and her momentum is like a song.
"Jiang Qixi, this time, it's my turn to protect you." I said calmly.
When the head of the snake attacked, I dodged it, raised one hand, and clamped the head of the snake to death, and with the other hand, I raised the lightning strike wood and aimed at the neck of the snake.
The snake hits seven inches, no matter how big you are!
The big snake was in pain, and crawled forward frantically with the snake's head, but fortunately the hole was narrow and the snake's tail could not be drawn.
The roots of my leg were dragged and rubbed against the rubble, and the pain was so extreme that it became numb. I gasped, still holding on to the snake's head, still poking the snake seven inches with lightning strikes.
I don't know how long it was dragged down, but I felt that the strength of the big snake was getting smaller and smaller, and after crawling for a while, the whole snake head drooped down softly, and the gravel on the ground flew away.
I hurriedly let go of my hand, struggled to brace myself, and staggered towards the belly of the snake.
Without a sharp knife, he picked up a sharp stone and slashed it on the snake's belly. After a while, the sharp stone shattered.
"Jiang Qixi, don't sleep, I'll sing to you, sing "Huanzhu Gege"! There was a girl who had some arrogance...... "My eyes were red and my voice was choked.
Looking at the bulging snake belly, he couldn't care about it anymore, squatted down, and bit it with his teeth.
The snake's skin was extremely tough, and my mouth was full of snake blood, and the snake's blood froze and my teeth stiffened.
After biting like a madman, I finally opened a small hole in the snake's belly, and I was overjoyed and continued to tear it with my teeth around the mouth.
I don't know how long it took, but I was bitten by the whole snake's belly, and finally I was able to reach out and dig into the snake's belly.
"Jiang Qixi! Wake up! I roared, pulling out handfuls of snake spleen and blurred flesh with both hands.
Seeing that the entire snake's belly was about to be hollowed out by me, I suddenly touched something warm.
"Jiang Qixi?"
I lay on the ground, and my head was stuck into the snake's belly, and in the bloody darkness, the snake's belly was faintly shining through, and I finally found a mass of figures, wrapped in a large pile of slimy things.
I was overjoyed, and hurriedly dragged the figure out slowly with all my might.
After tearing open the layers of greasy paste, he found that it was Jiang Qixi, his face was pale, his lips were black, his eyes were half-squinted, and his eyelashes were still fluttering.
Jiang Qixi is not dead!
I lost my heart and went crazy and held Jiang Qixi in my arms.
Chen Xichun ...... If you cry again, I'll whip you...... Not dead. Jiang Qixi spit out a sentence and fainted again.
I smiled bitterly, so I had to tear two long snake skins, tie Jiang Qixi to my back, and slowly crawl out along the long hole.
The leg was extremely badly injured, and with every step of climbing, the gravel grinded to the wound, and there was a heart-pumping pain.
After climbing for a long time, I finally saw the light at the entrance of the cave.
"Jiang Qixi, I'm going out."
Jiang Qixi, who had fainted, did not answer me.
I laughed to myself and kept climbing.
......
Climb out of the hole, and the vision suddenly opens up.
I took a breath, put Jiang Qixi flat on the ground, and then looked around carefully.
If you guessed correctly, it seems to be a small valley with streams flowing and the fragrance of herbs.
I don't know why, in the tomb of the general, there is such a unique valley.
I walked to the side of the stream and tasted it, and found that it tasted sweet and should be fine. Then he took a handful of water and carefully fed it into Jiang Qixi's mouth.
Jiang Qixi coughed a few mouthfuls at first, but slowly, his mouth moistened, and finally drank some.
I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to tinker with the wound on my leg.
"Chen Xichun, you fool." This was Jiang Qixi's first sentence after waking up.
I was cleaning the wound with my hand, and when I heard Jiang Qixi's voice, my hand slipped and hit the wound, causing me to bare my teeth and inhale.
"Chen Xichun, you fool." Jiang Qixi repeated it again, his eyes red.
I staggered over, stretched out my hand, and patted Jiang Qixi's head, "If you were you, it would be like this." Also, if you die, I won't have a daughter-in-law, and I won't have a baby with me. ”
Jiang Qixi was as angry as ever, but now he was physically inconvenient, so he had to stare at me.
"Jiang Qixi, you went to the tomb last night, what happened? I was just outside in the stone room, on the other side of the Sixiang Gate, and I saw the fat man of the horse, and he said that you were taken away by a snake, so I hurriedly ran in. ”
Jiang Qixi bit his lip, "I was naturally taken away by a snake, but this is all thanks to Ma Changwen!" ”
"Fat Ma dares to calculate you?" I said angrily.
Jiang Qixi nodded, "At first, I walked down the stone stairs with him, and when I encountered the ghost hand grabbing his legs, he also cooperated and rushed out with me. ”
"Ma Fatzi said, in the tomb of the four elephants, suddenly a big snake came, that is, the one that swallowed you, you can't fight, and then the big snake took you into the Qinglong tomb." I said in a deep voice.
"Did he really say that?" Jiang Qixi frowned tightly.
I nodded.
"There wasn't just one snake, but countless snakes. Otherwise, a gray snake, I will not be invincible. Ma Changwen and I had no choice but to escape, and it was too late to return to the entrance of the stone chamber on the stone staircase. Jiang Qixi paused, his eyes cold.
"And then?" I asked urgently.
"Ma Changwen was behind him, slapped me, and hit me to the snakes, and after I was frightened, after I was weak, a big snake swallowed me alive into the belly of the snake."
I slammed the lightning strike wood into the ground, "This fat horse is so sinister, I don't know why he did this?" And it's weird, if you say it, this group of snakes shouldn't let him go! ”
"We've all been deceived, he's the Snake Man, the Snake Man of the General's Tomb." Jiang Qixi said lightly.
"Snake Man?"
"Remember how Chai Hu died?"
"Devoured by a thousand snakes, and it is a yin snake. No, if it's really a yin snake, how can I fight just now? ”
"What you killed was an ordinary old snake, not a yin snake. Chai Hu has been dead for a thousand years, how can the thousand yin snakes that devoured his body live so long, although all things have spirits, but people are respected, Chai Hu can turn into a force, but the snake cannot. ”
"So what?"
"I guess, after a thousand years, there is not much left of the Yin Snake, even if the means are exhausted, there may only be one or two left, used to protect the tomb, Ma Changwen worked hard to raise countless big snakes, probably thinking about having sex with the Yin Snake and giving birth to snakes."
"Copulation?"
"Have a baby!" Jiang Qixi glared at me viciously.
I was about to lean over to Jiang Qixi with a shy face, wanting to beg for a gentle beating.
Suddenly, Jiang Qixi straightened up, looked around, and spit out a sentence that made people panic.
"Chen Xichun, this is Snake Valley."
