Thirty-eight, white python

Now the situation is still uncertain, and he still needs to come to observe secretly at night, so he naturally can't tell his mother, but Wang Zixiang can be used as a helper. This guy is also bold, and he is quite interested in this matter, and he is gearing up to catch demons and subdue demons.

The two left the burned old house and went to Aunt Zhang's house next door. As the saying goes, "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors", usually Mrs. Zhang's family takes care of their mother and son, and this fire was also discovered by Mrs. Zhang, and the police were called to control the fire, and she also took the initiative to invite his mother and younger brother to her house to spend the night.

He will not forget this kindness. On the way here, he bought some fruits, rice, oil, and meat, and moved into Aunt Zhang's house with Wang Zixiang.

It will take some time to repair the old house, and they will inevitably stay in Aunt Zhang for a few more days, so they naturally have to show some expressions to others.

You give money, people are embarrassed to ask for it, give these affordable things, people are easier to accept.

The two sat at Aunt Zhang's house for a while, and then said goodbye and went to Second Brother Li's house, which was not far from here. Her family doesn't have many houses, and if she can take in the mother and son, she can't have a place for them to live anymore.

This second brother Li is a bachelor, and it is more convenient for the two of them to live. Of course, he couldn't stay overnight empty-handed, he bought some cooked food and side dishes in the supermarket, took a bottle of Niulanshan from the car, and went to talk to Brother Li for a drink.

Over the years, he has been working hard, just to become the pillar of the family and let his mother and younger brother live a good life.

This is also in line with the strange law, "A sage is always fatherless."

Many Confucian masters had fathers who died early and grew up in single-parent families. Confucius, Mencius, Ouyang Xiu and others all lost their fathers when they were young.

These sons, who grew up living with widowed mothers, tend to be more precocious. They see that their mothers need help, so they will take the role of fathers to some extent and take on family responsibilities earlier.

Since childhood, he has no father, and he can only do many things by himself, which stimulates his personal potential and exercises his personal ability, so he can complete tasks that ordinary people can't do. (As Mencius famously said, the heavens will descend on the people...... )

In the martial arts world, it seems that it can also be universal. For example, the life experience of many male No. 1 in Jin Zuo (Jin Yong's works) is very tragic, and most of the above theories can be applied, as the representative work of Guo Jing, Yang Guo, and Zhang Wuji in the Condor Trilogy are all in this situation. (Zhang Wuji was the happiest, his parents died when he was seven or eight years old, and Yang Guo was the most miserable and did not see his biological father and mother die early.) )

He also tempered his will and heart under multiple pressures, and only then did he have a mature and steady view of the overall situation.

Second Brother Li is a bold person, a courier, his family is not rich, he looks ordinary, and he is honest, he is in his thirties and has no suitable partner.

This is really a piece of his parents' heart in the countryside, but he is optimistic, has been working hard to earn money, and is looking forward to the arrival of that fate.

The two drank a few glasses of wine with Second Brother Li, chatted for a while, and then went back to the wing room to rest. Rural people rest early, and Second Brother Li is usually very tired from work, so he goes to bed early.

The two set an alarm clock at ten o'clock, lay down and rest for a while, and recuperated before they could deal with the unknown crisis.

But this farmer's earthen kang, although covered with thick cushions, is not as comfortable as Simmons's big bed to sleep on. He is still good, he has adapted to going home many times, and Wang Zixiang has been shouting so hard that his back hurts.

The two of them just closed their eyes and recuperated, they didn't fall asleep at all, he turned off the alarm clock, who called whom.

At nine-forty, he got up and dragged Xiangzi, and the two of them got dressed and carried the ghost-hunting kit, and groped their way to his old house.

At this time, the sky was already completely dark, coupled with the thin mist, the things in front of them were even more indistinct, and the two turned on a strong flashlight, which could only illuminate a distance of five meters in front of them.

The two of them hid their bodies outside the broken wall, he let Xiangzi hold his breath, and he didn't give him tears, as an untrained person, even if he is bold and sees ghosts, he will inevitably lose his temper, but it is easier to do bad things. On the contrary, he is out of sight and bold.

He released the Heavenly Eye and looked into the abandoned courtyard, the twilight was heavy, the smoke was locked and foggy, and it was difficult to penetrate the spiritual power.

It seems that this hidden thing here is not ordinary. I'm afraid it's hard to take it down, but in any case, you have to see its true body clearly, so you can think about it in the long run.

Fortunately, this time I brought the Zhenfei Mirror, although the use of this treasure is not yet understood, but after some attempts, its mapping work is still very effective, similar to the legendary Demon Mirror.

He recited the incantation silently, and with his luck in hand, he shone the mirror of Concubine Zhen towards the ruined courtyard.

A soft white light instantly pierced through the smoke maze, illuminating the space that was both real and illusory.

In the middle of the courtyard, there is a big silver-white python the size of a gas canister!!

It was coiled up in a clump about a man high. Although I can't see the length of the body, just look at the snake head the size of the desktop and the snake eyes the size of the street lamp, and I know that this guy must be huge.

Fortunately, this guy was sleeping, and the mist swirled around it, and there was a faint green vapor steaming, which was quickly absorbed into its body.

This thing is not an ordinary thing, and he can't afford to be provoked with his Taoism, so let's go back first and find a way.

He gestured to Shoko, and the two quietly returned the way they came.

"Yuanyasu, what do you see? How did you get back? Shoko asked, puzzled.

"It's good that I didn't let you see it, otherwise, it wouldn't have scared your guts."

He carefully told Xiangzi about the situation, and Xiangzi was also taken aback, he had only seen a giant python on TV, and he really didn't dare to imagine it in reality.

"What's so amazing about this white python? Isn't it just big? Shoko asked.

"Have you heard of the five immortals of Huhuang, white, willow and gray?" Zhao Yuankang asked.

"I've heard a little about it, tell me about it." The two sat on the kang and chatted.

"Fox fairy (fox), yellow fairy (weasel), white fairy (hedgehog), willow fairy (snake), gray fairy (mouse), known as the five immortals by the folk. According to legend, these five species have innate spirituality and can be cultivated into demon immortals, and the people worship them and worship them to bless the safety of their homes. ”

Among them, Liu Xian is the snake fairy, and people's worship of the snake fairy also comes from ancient times, and it is said that Fuxi and Nuwa are both gods with human heads and snake bodies. Snakes are often considered to be the embodiment of dragons. In the zodiac, the snake is known as the little dragon. ”

"In the folk, the more famous snake fairy is the White Lady. The story of her relationship with Xu Xian in her past life, the karmic entanglement with Fahai, the flooding of Jinshan, the suppression of Leifeng Tower, and the final completion of the Champion Sacrifice Tower are widely spread among the people. ”

"But in fact, there is a difference between a snake and a python, which is larger and more ferocious. The most famous story about the python fairy is the legend of Liu Bang cutting the snake and Wang Mang breaking the Han. ”

"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang resisted tyranny and raised troops to the west, and the army marched to a crossroads, and there was a big python in front of it, and the army could not move forward. Liu Bangxi was eager, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he drew his sword and wanted to cut, at this time the python spoke: "What a Liu Laosan, don't you remember me?" Back then, we all lived in Mangdang Mountain, you were red and I was white (Liu Bang was the son of the Red Emperor, Wang Mang was the son of the White Emperor), helping each other, who would have thought that you stole my elixir, reincarnated, and now want to take the throne, I can't let you succeed in peace and stability. Liu Bang struck a stirring spirit and said: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly dodge, otherwise you will be cut in two!" The python said, "If you cut off my head, I will mess with your head; cut off my tail, and I will mess with yours; If you stop me and cut me off, I'll cut off your head and mess with your righteousness!" The military situation was urgent, Liu Bang didn't think much about it, and cut off the python at the waist. This is the story of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who killed the snake uprising, Liu Bang prospered in the snake and died in the "python". Liu Bang "drew his sword and cut the snake" in Mangdang Mountain, laying the groundwork for Wang Mang to catch Liu Xiu in the future. ”

"Therefore, the Western Han Dynasty passed to Emperor Ping, and the White Snake reincarnated Wang Mang, poisoned Emperor Ping of Han, and usurped the Han Dynasty as a new one. Later, after Guangwu Zhongxing, Wang Mang was extinguished, and the Han family was restored and the Eastern Han Dynasty of the Liu family was established. And the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty happened to be passed down for more than 200 years. During the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei died in the White Emperor City, and the White Emperor City corresponded to the White Emperor, which seems to be a coincidence, as if there is a providence in the dark. ”

"So, this big white python is not easy to deal with! Now that he has taken a fancy to your house, he is doing arson, he just wants to cultivate here, you can't beat it, so you can only give it to it. Shoko analyzed.

"It's not that simple, even if I want to, my mother can't leave their homeland, it's not good to do work, I can't tell them that there are monsters. Besides, I don't know what the purpose of this guy is, in case, to make waves here and hurt people's lives, but it's a sin. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

"So what are we going to do?" Shoko hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, go to sleep, I'll ask a master tomorrow, naturally there is a way."
