"Poof!" Dajin spit it out, and we all stopped, looked at the two pots of soup in disbelief, and then invariably began to retch, eager to vomit out what we had just eaten along with the bile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "hahaha...... Lie to you. Alimu smiled: "How can it be human flesh." We got a little better, and I forced a smile and said, "Then Aga, what kind of meat is this?" Alimu glared at me and said, "It's not human flesh anyway." Why do you care so much? Eat more and ask less. "Say goodbye, guy. The guy walked over slowly, lukewarmly, "What are you doing?" Alimu made a strange gesture to the guy, that is, seeing this gesture, the guy's eyes lit up, and the appearance of a dead man who was originally ignorant of answering instantly came to life, with a face of flattery: "What does the big guy have to say?" Alimu said: "Don't come to find someone to occupy!" The guy said, "Side? Alimu said: "Snake King." The man's face changed, and he said, "You wait." With that, he hurried deeper into the alley. We looked at Alimu in surprise, it turned out that looking for the snake king was also to whisper, if we were looking for it alone, since we found it here, it would be in vain. Dajin said: "Aga, I didn't expect you to mix with the underworld?" Alimu sighed and said, "Do you know why the Snake King is called the Snake King?" We shook our heads. Alimu said: "What did you see on that street you just walked?" I was stunned: "That small alley is also called a street?" Alimu said: "Of course, it is a street, and it is the most famous street in the city." He said, "Do you know what is in the street?" I frowned: "There are some sneaky people. Alimuhaha laughed: "Do you know who they are?" I said, "It's not like a good person." Alimu smiled: "Of course they are not good people, at least thirty percent of them are felons on the run, thirty percent are the Buddha with the fastest hands and feet, and the remaining forty percent are killers who kill people and take money!" This is the darkest place in the whole city, and the people in it are like snakes living in damp and dark holes all year round, and the king of this street is the king of snakes. "That is, the king of this black street." Shui Qingyan added. Alimu glanced at Shui Qingyan and continued: "We tomb robbers are doing a desperate job. Red thieves, in particular, are in a way no different from the people on the street, so it is inevitable to come into contact with them. I can't say that there are still our peers among the people we passed by just now, and the snake king is still more ...... to us" Before he finished speaking, the guy had already hurried back, and his attitude towards us changed again, becoming affectionate and respectful: "It turns out that you are an old friend of the snake king, big guy, you tell me about it early?" Alimu smiled: "Lead the way ahead." The guy also nodded hurriedly and turned his head to lead the way. Outside the door was a narrower alley, next to a stinking ditch full of flies. At the end of the alley, there is another narrow door. Push open the narrow door and enter, it is a large open courtyard, it is more than three o'clock in the night, it is the time when everything is silent, but the courtyard is brightly lit, more than a dozen big men, naked tattooed with the upper body of Guan Gong Bodhisattva, are playing cards in the courtyard, the whole body is sweating. As soon as we came in, there was a sudden silence in the courtyard, and the two big men looked back at us, suddenly stood up and walked over, stared at Alimu and said, "You are here to find the snake king?" Alimu nodded. The two big men glanced at each other, and one of the big men suddenly slammed Alimu's face door with an iron fist, but was grabbed by Alimu. The blood vessels on Alimu's arm arched like a dragon, slowly twisting the big man's arm, and then pushing it out. The guy laughed: "Good skill! The big man in the courtyard turned his head and looked at Alimu in surprise, and then moved out of the way. The man led us into a very dilapidated two-story building in the corner of the courtyard, walked up the stairs that emitted the rancid and sour smell of unknown animals, pointed to a wooden door, and said, "The snake king is inside, please come in." "At first, I was still wondering why the snake king, a powerful man in Kyoto and a man of 50,000 brothers, would live in such a dilapidated place, but when I pushed the door in, I realized that I was being naïve. Inside and outside the house, it's two worlds entirely. As soon as I entered the room, I was surrounded by a heavy knitted Persian blanket under my feet, the walls were painted with gilded spices, and a table with small Venus leaves and rosewood was placed in the room. The tea set used for drinking tea on the table is an aged purple sand plate containing fruits, carved from a single amethyst. It can be said that every thing in the house is worth a lot of money. Lying on the soft couch alone, he said with a smile: "Old brother, I really didn't expect you to come to see me, a wasted person." I guess this is the Snake King, but if I hadn't Alimu brought me, I wouldn't have guessed that this was the Snake King, because he was so thin, his cheeks were emaciated like a skeleton with a layer of flesh on it, and there was no muscle in his dry hands, as if this person's flesh and blood had been sucked dry by that thing, only the eyes under the dry eyelids were still bright. I could never have imagined that a person like the Serpent King would look like a withered old man. Alimu said: "I never dared to forget you, this time I came to you to ask you to do a favor." "Oh?" The snake king smiled lightly: "Brother Lao, I really don't know what else you need me to help, besides, now others owe me enough favors, and I don't want others to owe me favors for the time being until the next favor is returned." "That." I couldn't help but say, "When will your next favor be returned?" The Snake King laughed, "I don't know either...... I don't need anything now, and when I do, it's not too late to let them go. Alimu frowned and said, "Can you help my brother ......?" "What?" The snake king frowned: "Brother Lao, I don't think you are a person who doesn't understand the rules, why are people in your industry becoming more and more ignorant now?" Yesterday, a little girl from your industry came to me and wanted to ask me for some news. even dared to threaten me, haha, if it weren't for her father's face, she wouldn't want to leave. Don't...... Do you want to try your face too? Alimu's face turned blue when the snake king said this, and when the snake king saw this, he softened and said: "I am such a wasted person, relying on my brother, you let me help you, nothing more than let my brother die." It's been a long time since I've done this kind of thing, and I'm grateful to them, because they look up to me and call me the Snake King. If you were you, so would you. "I looked at the Snake King's demeanor, and suddenly understood why so many people were willing to die for the Snake King. Righteousness is thin and cloudy, not just talking. Alimu sighed and whispered to me: "It's not that I won't help you, you see ......" I shook my head lightly, stepped forward and said to the snake king: "Do you remember Niujiao Mountain?" Hearing the words 'Niujiao Mountain', the snake king suddenly became excited: "He's still alive?" ”
