Chapter Twenty-Five: The Snake of the Bhagava
Led by the second brother of the snake, the little furball passed all the way through the hall and then marched to the right. First entered a passage, in the passage the little hairball found that the further forward the brighter it became, walked about thirty or forty zhang distance, before reaching the exit, this exit turned out to be a hole, it turned out that they had been walking in the hole before.
The little hairball stands at the entrance of the cave and looks at the outside, the entrance of the cave is opened in the middle of the mountainside, the lake and mountains on the opposite side come into view, there is a waterfall on the right side and flows straight down, the sound of the uproar is endless, it is not majestic and magnificent.
Look up and look up again, the round sun is hanging high in the sky, the light of the true sun is just shining at the entrance of this cave, there is a stone lotus seat about three inches high in the center of the platform at the entrance of the cave, there are two murals carved on the stone walls on both sides of the cave entrance: a Taoist priest of fairy wind and Taoist bones sits on the lotus seat next to a giant python, it seems that the Taoist is meditating and cultivating, and the giant python is guarding the side inch by inch.
The two pictures are almost identical, except that the sky depicted is different, one is night and the other is daytime, and the Taoist priest and the python guarding him are exactly the same. One is dedicated to seeking the Tao, and the other is loyal to the Lord, is this Taoist priest the ancestor of the krait?
After a while, the second brother of the snake walked back with the little furball, passed through the passage and hall all the way, and went straight inside, and came to a room more than ten zhang square.
Overhead is a gossip caisson well, below which is a stone bed, and next to it are also scattered a square stone table with missing corners, as well as several stone piers. On the stone bed there is a statue of an old man, with a bun wrapped in an ordinary cloth on the top of his head, a shabby shirt on his body, and a pair of shorts underneath, exposing his calves, sitting barefoot, holding a scroll in his hand and looking closely. Next to it is a bamboo basket with a small snake probing out.
Nestled against the corner of the wall was a corroded and collapsed bookcase, in which the little furball groped for nothing but a few books. The little hairball picked up the book that fell on the ground, and after carefully wiping it, he saw a few big words written on the curled page, "Wanhui Xianji", read another book, "Daguan Tea Theory", and turned another book, "Health Theory", and then read another book, "Nine Calculations of the Heavenly Classics"...... Little Furball involuntarily pronounced the titles of the books.
Immediately attracted the attention of the three snakes. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Maoqiu picked up the "Theory of Health" and opened the pages of the book, looked at it carefully, and read while reading, "The world may be said to be immortal can be learned, and immortality can be powerful; Or one hundred and twenty years of life on the clouds, the same in ancient and modern times, in the past, it is not a delirium. This is both a mismatch, please try to make a rough statement.
Although the husband and the gods are not seen, they are recorded in the books, and the pre-history is transmitted, compared to them, they must be carried out. It seems to be particularly affected by strange gases, and the nature of the endowment is not something that can be caused by accumulation. As for the guidance and nurture of reason, in order to exhaust his life, he will be more than a thousand years old, and he can be hundreds of years old, and he can have ears. And the world is not refined, so it cannot be obtained. Why? The husband takes medicine to ask for sweat, or there is a blessing; And the episode of shame is suddenly displaced. If you don't eat in the end, you will think about food; And Zeng Zi mourned, and he was not hungry for seven days. If you sit at night, you will be depressed and think about sleeping; If you are worried, you will not brush your temples vigorously, and you will only get it; The anger of the strong man is impressive, and the hair transplant rushes to the crown. In other words, the spirit is to the body, and the kingdom of Judah has a king. The spirit is restless in the middle, and the form is lost outside, the king is faint above, and the country is in chaos below. ”
The little furball involuntarily read aloud, the louder the voice, the more the three snakes raised their heads and stared at the little furball, in their eyes the scene of this house seems to have changed, what they see seems to be the old man sitting on the stone bed, reading the classics, causing the little snake in the bamboo basket to stretch out the snake's head, standing quietly aside, as if reading.
After a long time, after the little hairball had read all the health theories, there was no sound in the cave, and after a while, there was no movement. "No?" The snake brother asked. Little Furball nodded: "I've finished reading this book." ”
The snake shook the snake's head, "Big brother, have you seen it?" The little snake sister in the back spit out the snake letter, raised her head at the little hairball, and said to the second snake brother, "Big brother, have you seen it?" Is it the same as the appearance of the ancestor in the mural? "Like, too much." Second Brother Snake also chimed in, "And it's been so long, none of our remaining books that our ancestors have read can read anymore, it's great!" That's great! The second brother of the snake shook happily.
Little Furball was a little embarrassed and a little confused when they said this, "Who is your ancestor?" Are you talking about this old gentleman? The little furball pointed to the statue on the stone bed next to him with his furry paws. But that's it, and then look at the statue of the old man next to him, Qi Gen snapped open, and then the upper part fell to the ground and broke in half with a snap.
Suddenly, the little furball jumped up in fright, jumped off the stone platform, jumped next to the second brother of the snake, and gestured desperately with his little paws, "No, I didn't break it, really!" I didn't even touch it just now, really! ”
I saw that the little brother of the snake was not surprised, and spit out the snake letter and said, "Big brother, it still looks like it's not good!" We can't keep our ancestors no matter what! The second brother of the snake also lowered his head, spit out the snake letter, and said to the statue, "Ancestor, the juniors are incompetent!" I can't even protect your statue, I'm so sorry for your old man. As he spoke, the three snakes were intertwined again, and the heads of the snakes were next to each other, and they wept with a whin.
The little furball was really at a loss when they cried, could it be that he was in trouble again! After crying for a while, the second brother of the snake spit out the snake letter and said to the little furball, "It has nothing to do with you, don't be afraid, we are incompetent, we can't protect the ancestor, it's none of your business." ”
The little furball heart said, "Oops! It's good if it's none of my business, I'll just say, how can I have so much power, he will shatter with a finger. But looking at the expressions of the snake brother and sister crying bitterly, it felt that it was not enough to stand still, and that it had to do something, so it hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the statues on the ground that had not yet broken into pieces, and gathered them together, thinking if they could be restored to their original state. At this time, the second brother of the snake said: "Third sister, there is no need to be so troublesome, just put it directly on the stone bed." Little Furball had to answer in embarrassment and do so.
Then the second brother of the snake turned the stone bed, on the ground close to the stone bed, it opened its mouth to bite the ring of the ground and lifted it, revealing a half-zhang wide secret room passage below, the second brother of the snake walked down first, the snake brother and sister followed, and the little furball followed closely after being surprised.
Down is a two-zhang long stone staircase, down the stone steps, the little hairball saw that the ground here was smoked black, and there was a big round pit in the center, and there seemed to be some runes carved on the ground next to the round pit, but because the time was too long, it had long been worn out to the point that it was impossible to read. On one side, next to the wall, there was a decaying and collapsed wooden cabinet, and there were some broken porcelain vases on the floor, and when I looked up, I saw a huge yin and yang gossip diagram carved on the roof.
The second snake brother arched open the small door on one side, and went out of the stone chamber and came to a cave. The cave is very open and there is a stone pavilion. There is a stone table in the stone pavilion, and the stone table is carved with a chessboard playing chess, and the black and white pieces have long been scattered all over the ground. In front of the stone pavilion, a large tree is erected in the cave.
At this time, the little furball only felt that there seemed to be a red light shining in the hole, it looked around, and there was a round red fruit hidden among the leaves, which was emitting a faint red light, so frightened that the little furball jumped behind the second brother of the snake with a sound, and pointed to the red fruit on the tree with his little paws, "Don't go over!" You can't touch that thing. Speaking of this, the little furball suddenly felt that the sound seemed too loud, no, a little bit, in case it detonated that thing, it was not a joke.
The second brother of the snake spit out the snake letter and said: "Little sister, don't be afraid, that is the favorite thing of our krait clan, as long as you don't touch it, it's fine." Hearing it say this, the little furball was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What?" Is this your favorite fruit? No, you're not afraid that thing will explode in your stomach, it's terrifying. ”
Hearing this, the snake sister leaned over, "Sister Fox Fairy, don't be afraid, the fruit on that tree is delicious, our krait clan has eaten that thing since childhood, it is fragrant and sweet, and the most important thing is that it can keep out the cold." Little Furball smiled, forget it, you think it's delicious, I'd better stay away.
Five or six zhang further on, there is a large downward slope, down the slope, facing a pool of lake water. There is a distance of about one or two hundred zhang before and after the whole cave, except for the stone pavilion and the big tree, most of which are occupied by the pool water.
At this time, the second brother of the snake turned around and spit out the snake letter to Hu Xiaoxiao behind him, "The little sister is a demon fox, she will definitely swim in the water, come, come down with us." As he spoke, the second brother of the snake got into the lake in front of him, and the snake brother and sister also swam down after him, and the little furball saw it and jumped in.
The three snakes that had gone into the water kept swimming forward, and when they saw that they were about to reach the end of the cave wall, they dived into the water as soon as they did. Little Furball thought to himself, how deep is this water, what if there's something down there...... I can't. But seeing that the snake brothers and sisters are all following, if he is a bad seed at this time, it will not be good to be in front of the snake brothers and sisters in the future.
No, or go down and try it. It was afraid that the three snakes in front of it would swim far away, and it would not be able to keep up, so it had no choice, so it held its breath and dived into the water. When it got underwater, it noticed that the three snakes in front of it were not swimming fast, as if they were waiting for it, so it hurriedly swam over.
Swimming all the way to the cave wall in front, there is no further waterway, but there are mountains deep into the pool, they swim forward and dive down, unconsciously have dived to a depth of seven or eight zhang. Damn! It's pitch black here, and if I don't go up, I'll be unable to hold back. When the little hairball was anxious, a ray of true yang light shot down from the top of his head, and under the guidance of this ray of true yang light, three snakes and a fox quickly swam upward, and after a while, the four demon beasts all stretched out their little heads from the water.
At this moment, the little furball heard the roar of rumbling water overhead, and when it looked up, a huge waterfall was rushing down from the mouth of the cave halfway up the mountainside, just a few dozen feet in front of them.
So far away, the little furballs could still feel the vibration caused by the water in the waterfall falling into the pool, and then looking towards the way they came, there was a hole halfway up the mountain dozens of feet above their heads on the right side, yes, that was where they had just seen. It then looked up at a pool of lake water surrounded by mountains, it was in the middle of it, and the surrounding lakes and mountains were in full view, good! Shrewd! It's a wonderful sight.
The second brother of the snake in front spit out the snake letter, silk! Silk! He said, "That's right, this is where our Bagha Serpent was born. We have been here to protect our ancestors for hundreds of years. This is our Python Valley. This pool of water is the Bagha Sacred Pond that gave birth to the growth of our krait clan! ”
