14 Molting and Trekking
Shi'an grabbed my hand, and his mouth was broken with something, and I guessed that it was some words from the Buddha to appear quickly.
The fishy smell behind him became heavier and heavier, and people couldn't help coughing.
Walking in a hurry, in a hurry, I couldn't help but look back and look at my grandmother, who had been eye-to-eyes for a long time, what was like when she was born.
As I thought, it was a snake head the size of a water tank, with white hair, spread evenly on the snake's cheeks on both sides, its eyes wide open, and the letter it spat out, like a long red whip, constantly whipping the air and crackling.
"Senior brother! Don't get distracted! Run away! Shi'an said urgently.
I hurriedly turned my head, suppressed my trembling body, and fled with Shi'an to the entrance of the cave. A few more horse-faced monkeys came galloping and swinging wildly with sticks.
I held two seven-section maces, and with Shi'an, I prepared Xiao Qing to come to the enemy as quickly as possible.
The horse-faced monkey was not fighting, and was repelled by my Shi'an, and it was about to break out of the encirclement, and suddenly, the grandmother behind him roared, and the horse-faced monkeys seemed to have eaten stimulants, and they seemed even more tyrannical and crazy.
At this moment, a faint drum beat sounded outside the cave.
Li Xiaomi!
I'm so happy that nothing happened to Li Xiaomi!
Several horse-faced monkeys were startled by the sound of drums, and their movements were sluggish, and Shi An and I took advantage of the gap and quickly jumped out of the snake cave.
As soon as he landed, he could hear the sound of anger behind him.
"Run, this old snake is coming out of the hole!" Li Xiaomi ran over, helped me up, and shouted loudly.
After running for a short distance, I suddenly found that there was no sound behind me, only the sound of rain like sifting beans.
"The old snake didn't follow." Shi'an sat on the stagnant water, panting constantly.
I was so tired that I collapsed on the floor.
"Why doesn't this old snake come out of the hole?" Li Xiaomi said in a deep voice.
I thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, Zhou He also tricked me in, this old snake grandmother, for some reason, did not dare to run out of the snake cave.
Still thinking about it, suddenly a very thick thunderbolt crossed the sky, and it slashed at an old tree not far from the snake cave, and instantly split the old tree into charcoal.
"It's thunder." I asked.
The old snake spits rain and black clouds, and if it can even spit lightning, it is really useless to play.
"Senior brother, this time it's a thunderbolt." Shi'an replied.
Li Xiaomi thought thoughtfully, and after a while, she slowly spoke, "I'm thinking of a possibility, will this old snake grandmother be avoiding the sky and thunder?" ”
"Why do you want to avoid thunder?"
"Demons are not people, I have read grandpa's Taoist books, some powerful demons and ghosts are going to survive the thunderstorm, such as this old snake!"
"The old snake crossed?"
"It should be, the snake cave is the safest place for it, did you see that rough thunder just now? I'm sure that if the old snake dares to come out of the hole, the heavenly thunder will inevitably slash at its body. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, and that seemed to make sense.
In the snake cave not far away, a pair of huge eyes stared coldly at the three of us, their eyes full of anger.
"What if the old snake survives?"
"On the old mountain, we are bound to die!" Li Xiaomi said solemnly.
I told Li Xiaomi about the old snake being molted.
"Snake molting?" Li Xiaomi was also rarely happy, "This is a good thing, these two days, when the old snake molts, we will touch it and kill it!" ”
Snakes molt when they are at their most vulnerable.
After discussing with Shi'an and Li Xiaomi, he felt that it was better to stay on the old mountain for now, and he could keep an eye on the old snake at all times. According to what Zhou He said, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and I don't know if it's true or not, and we don't plan to go down the mountain. But for now, it's still necessary to find a safe place on the old mountain.
The old snake doesn't come out of the hole, but it can instruct the horse-faced monkey to kill us.
Looking around, on the south cliff side of the old mountain, I found a broken temple.
"It should be a mountain temple, but it has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no incense." Li Xiaomi said lightly.
Don't the mountain gods dare to take care of it!
Li Xiaomi cast a formation before and after breaking the temple, and in her words, although she didn't have much magical power, she could block it for a while.
Shi'an packed up the string of old Buddha beads, which was already empty, and only the ash rope was exposed.
I carefully examined the arm that was stabbed by Zhou He, and it was not a big problem, it was not a bone injury.
"Li Xiaomi, we followed you just now, why did you disappear all of a sudden." I asked.
Li Xiaomi smiled bitterly, "Like you, I thought you were following, but later I found out that the two things that followed me were just pretending to be you, and I searched for a long time before I found the snake cave." ”
This should be Zhou He's means, trying his best to isolate me and lead me to my grandmother's side.
In the sky above the old mountain, lightning still keeps falling.
"It's okay, we don't do evil." Li Xiaomi looked at me and said.
Legend has it that above the nine heavens, there is a messenger of heavenly thunder, who specializes in punishing evil.
The atmosphere on the old mountain made me feel very uncomfortable, so I hid in the temple and had to dismantle an offering table and use it to make a fire.
"Lu Jixiang, look over there!" Li Xiaomi's face turned pale, and he pointed to the corner of the temple and said to me.
I looked at the past suspiciously, and my heart trembled in shock, and in the corner of the ruined temple, there was a pile of gray-black things, constantly squirming back and forth.
"What's that?" Li Xiaomi gritted her teeth.
Now this old mountain is very weird, and we have to take it step by step.
I hurriedly grabbed a torch and searched the past.
I found that the pile of things was actually a dense crowd of toads, frogs, mountain rats, and even a small wolf lamb huddled together, shivering.
Shi'an recited a Buddha name, and said in a mournful voice, "It's just the residents in the mountains, the old snake is in charge, and these residents are also afraid, senior brother, don't drive them out." ”
Listening to Shi'anyi, I felt sympathy, and it seemed that we had trespassed into the broken temple, so that it seemed that we were the ones who should go out.
Li Xiaomi also sighed and sat down again in some frustration.
I knew she was worried, worried about the village down the hill, about the people in the village.
I was also worried, and many times I would imagine for no reason that a flash flood would wash away the village like a beast.
"Shi'an, you said that this old snake really can't come out? I'm still worried. I asked, turning my head.
Shi An thought for a while, and rolled his big black eyes, "Senior brother, it should be like this, it is indeed about to molt, and the snake has been very weak since ancient times!" ”
This old snake grandmother, molting and crossing the catastrophe, it doesn't seem to be so good.
"No matter what, take advantage of its illness and kill it!" Li Xiaomi gritted her teeth and hated this evil old snake.
The three of us were talking, when suddenly the pile of small animals in the corner of the temple let out a terrible scream.
"What's wrong?" I immediately stood up and pulled out two seven-section maces.
Li Xiaomi's eyes were cold, "It seems that something is found outside." ”
So fast! I cursed.
As Shi'an said, something did come outside, and a few horse-faced monkeys bared their teeth and shouted at us frantically.
Two figures slowly stepped out of the rain. Leader, it is Zhou He!
"Zhou He!" When the enemy met, his eyes were very red, and I couldn't wait to smash Zhou He's head immediately.
"Slow down, Brother Lu." Zhou He waved his hand, and the ghost head behind him also looked at us coldly.
"What do you want to do?" I said angrily.
"Brother Lu, grandma has something to say to you, don't be angry, speak well." Zhou He grinned.
The old snake is also coming?
I looked around, worried that the old snake had really come out of the hole, and the head of the snake with the size of the water tank suddenly collapsed and the temple was broken.
"In this old mountain group, no matter where you hide, grandma knows it, so why bother." Zhou He licked his lips, then turned around and kissed the ghost's face again, pus and blood drooping onto his face.
"Senior brother, stand back." Shi'an's face turned pale, raised his hand, and pointed behind Zhou He.
A rickety figure, dressed in a black robe, grabbed a stick as a crutch, and walked out with difficulty.
"The old snake is out of the hole." Li Xiaomi smiled bitterly.
"Didn't you say there was a thunderbolt?" I gritted my teeth.
"Senior brother, it doesn't dare to show its true body, and if it turns into a human, its means will be much weaker." Shi'an looked at me and said.
I breathed a sigh of relief, so that it was not a dead end.
"Little brother, you go with me, I'll let them go." The black-robed figure had an extremely hoarse voice.
"Senior brother, if I guess correctly, it wants to use you to avoid the heavenly thunder, after all, the angry eye King Kong is extremely good in heaven and earth, and heaven will not punish you." Shi'an said again.
This old snake is really exhausted!
