Chapter 17: Finding the Sword Shrine

It's really not a long way.

Forestry and Huang Rong only walked a pillar of incense, and they arrived at their destination.

Looking at the slightly dilapidated thatched house in front of him, Forestry stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock".

"Who?"

"Click", the small wooden door opened, and a mediocre-looking, slightly older man came out, who was really mediocre-looking, not Gu Tianle's "mediocre-looking", although he was not tall, he looked very sturdy.

"Who are you looking for?"

"You're... The old king next door? Forestry hesitated and asked.

"I'm Lao Wang, right, are you?" Maybe in the face of strangers, Lao Wang is a little restrained and a little wooden.

"I'm new to Xiangyang, and I want to ask you about something."

Lao Wang replied and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what the son wants to know?" ”

Forestry said to Lao Wang again what he said to the shopkeeper, "Have you ever seen the strange snake or strange bird I said?" ”

After hearing this, Lao Wang's face hesitated, and he asked with a little doubt: "Is the Pusqu snake you said faintly emitting golden light all over its body, and there are fleshy horns on the top of its head, like a dragon?" ”

"Exactly."

Hearing his answer, Forestry was a little excited, and finally there was news, "I wonder if my husband can tell me, where have you seen it?" ”

Lao Wang's face was a little embarrassed: "This son, I have indeed seen the strange snake you said, but it is not easy to tell the son." ”

"Why is this," Forestry was anxious: "Don't worry, my husband will naturally not delay your time in vain, and he will give you enough compensation." ”

And when he had finished speaking, he took out a piece of silver and put it in front of him.

Lao Wang waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of asking for directions, how can I ask for your silver, although my Lao Wang is poor, he won't do this kind of thing." ”

"Why? . . .

"Childe, this is for your good, that strange snake is not easy to mess with. To tell you the truth, last year I went outside the city to chop wood, and when I was not careful, I walked away. Just as I was about to go back, I happened to see a big insect killed by a strange snake. Look at the big worm, the whole body is purple, obviously the snake is not small.

The strange snake also saw me, and crawled towards me with a whoosh, and it was much faster than a human being, despite its lack of legs. I was a few dozen meters away from it, and it caught up in an instant. Seeing that I couldn't run away and was about to be caught up by it, a bird's cry sounded, and a big bird rushed out and fought with the strange snake, so I took the opportunity to run away. ”

Thinking of this past, Lao Wang still has some palpitations.

"Childe, you see that you are a scholar, why bother to drill into that dangerous place, listen to my advice, or don't look for it." Lao Wang looked at the dress of the forestry scholar and persuaded him kindly.

"Don't worry, although my family has studied medicine in the next family, I have also learned martial arts since I was a child, and I can still deal with a few long worms, and I hope my husband will tell me."

"Since Childe insists, then I'll tell you about that place......"

Looking at the determined forestry, Lao Wang sighed helplessly and told him the specific location.

After getting the whereabouts of the Pusqu snake, Forestry was overjoyed, but he didn't set off there.

As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. This Pusqu snake is not easy to deal with, and the main target of forestry is the Dugu Sword Tomb, no one knows when it will be found, and before setting off, it is natural to prepare first.

Returning to the inn, he instructed Xiao Er to prepare some dry food and water and other things needed for travel, and after this series of trivial matters, the noon sun also turned into a sunset.

After another night's rest, the next day, Forestry left the horses at the inn, left some forage money and tips for raising horses for Xiao Er, and walked out of the city with Huang Rong.

The place Lao Wang said was not far from Xiangyang South Road City, and with the strength of the two of them, it would only take an hour to arrive.

This place is inaccessible, and as far as the eye can see, there is no other place to be seen except for the woods that cannot see the edge.

The sun was in the sky, but the woods seemed deep and dark, like a beast with an open mouth choosing a person to devour, waiting for the prey to send it to the door.

Walking slowly through the forest, Forestry felt a chill. Relying on the courage of the artist, coupled with sufficient preparation, he is not afraid.

The whole woods were quiet and deserted, except for the rustle of the leaves in the wind.

"Brother, this place is so quiet. In broad daylight, not to mention that the animals can't see, even the birds chirp. None of them. The silent environment made Huang Rong a little uncomfortable, so she broke the silence and said.

"It should be in the right place, there can only be one boss in a region, and this must be the location of the Pusqu snake. You see, there are still some traces of winding and dragging on the ground. ”

It hasn't rained for the past few days, and there are traces of mollusk crawling on the ground soil, which should be the Pusqu snake, the traces are intermittent, and I don't know how big this snake is, but the diameter is as thick as a thigh.

My good man, who can "rely on each other" with the eagle owl who is the sword demon Dugu seeking defeat for so many years, has not been extinct, and he is really not an ordinary guy. Forestry has high respect for this.

"Kiln"

Forestry heard the sound of rubbing leaves, and then another foul-smelling wind blew from behind.

didn't have time to think about it, held Huang Rong, sent her to a distance with a soft force, and then quickly picked up the long sword at his waist, and didn't have time to pull out the three-foot Qingfeng, and together with the scabbard, he turned around and blocked in front of him.

As a dark shadow flashed, Forestry felt a huge force in front of him, and he floated backwards.

When I looked closely, I saw a giant snake faintly glowing with golden light, with fleshy horns on its head, like a dragon, looking at itself with compassion in front of him.

The head is so big that it makes forestry a little scary.

Forestry has little resistance to this slippery animal.

"Brother, come on, kill this ugly snake, and actually attack us." Huang Rong cheered him on the side.

"Don't worry, watch me."

Although it feels a little disgusting, in front of Huang Rong, he must maintain the dignity of being an elder brother.

With a whoosh, the giant snake rubbed against the ground and quickly rushed towards the forestry.

Pulling out the sword, calming down, looking at the rushing giant snake, turning sideways, and slapping the snake's head with the scabbard, it immediately fell to the side with force.

Flying over, towards the head of the snake, concentrating on a sword slashed, one sword in two.

Lifting the sword and taking out the snake gall bladder, putting it in the wine jug he carried, Forestry said to Huang Rong: "Rong'er, there are a lot of toxins in this snake gall bladder, soak it in the liquor first, and then deal with it." ”

"Now that the Pusqu snake is here, the Dugu Sword Shrine should not be far away. Brother, let's keep looking. Looking at the two-stage giant snake, Huang Rong said.

"Yes, go on."

As for snake meat, they didn't have the heart to taste it.

There are so many parasites in snakes that it's a real hassle to cook.

And for women, eating snake meat will cause masculine characteristics such as heavy body hair and thick voice, while for adolescent men, symptoms of premature aging will appear.

They are well prepared, and now that they are not short of food, they naturally will not find guilt.

Maybe it was the luck buff brought by Huang Rong as the heroine, and in less than two hours, before the sun set, the forestry duo found a deep valley.

The deep valley here is very large, and there are traces of artificial excavation, and there are still stone benches and stone beds and other things left in it, and it can be seen that someone has lived here for a long time.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison, "Found it." ”
