Chapter 048: The Legend of the Snake God
"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a big snake near Taoyuan Village that cultivated to perfection, and everyone within a radius of hundreds of miles was eaten. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Later, a swordsman arrived, subdued the big snake, and settled in the mountains, and Taoyuan Village was born. Later, the swordsman died of old age, and the big snake did not come out to harm people again. Instead, he became a snake god who guarded the village for thousands of years......"
Yang Yushan left the village with Chen Dahai, Jiang Dong and others and entered the mountains and forests in the north. While walking, I told everyone the story of Taoyuan Village.
Jiang Dong also heard about this legend from the villagers, but it was just like Xiao Bing said. It is not unusual to find eight out of ten mountain villages in this type of legend. Speaking of others, even Chen Dahai listened to Yi Xingshan.
"Do you think this legend is ridiculous? But what should I say is true? Yang Yushan stopped and turned his head to look at everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, and Tang Guo pouted: "Uncle, your words also scared me when I was eight years old." ”
"Boss Yang." Tang Xiaolin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "What do you mean is that Taoyuan Village is not disturbed by the catastrophe, and it has something to do with this legend?" ”
Yang Yushan nodded: "It is precisely because of the existence of the snake god that the fierce beast does not dare to enter the village." ”
"Cut, it's like the real thing." Tang Guo still didn't believe it: "It's as if you've seen it." ”
"I've seen it." Yang Yushan replied.
Tang Guo's eyes widened, and everyone looked at me, I looked at you.
Although he has not been in contact with Yang Yushan for a long time, this person does not seem to have the habit of joking.
"Brother Yang." Chen Dahai asked tentatively: "You, have you really seen it?" ”
"I know you won't believe it, that's why I'm taking you to see it." Yang Yushan smiled: "But don't worry, the snake god never harms humans." ”
Seeing that everyone was still skeptical, Yang Yushan smiled again: "It's useless to talk too much, let's go, just take a look." ”
Yang Yushan continued to move forward, and the others looked at each other and followed. But Jiang Dong stood still and didn't move.
"That ......" Jiang Donggan laughed twice: "It's good for you to go and see, I'll go back to the village and wait." ”
"Okay, we'll be back in a minute." Yang Yushan doesn't care.
"Is anyone else going back to the village with me?" Jiang Dong asked.
I asked twice, but no one responded.
Whether it was to live in the village with more peace of mind, or to persuade Xiao Bing to come back, everyone wanted to go and see Yang Yushan. It didn't matter if the snake god really existed, but they all wanted to know why Taoyuan Village was able to avoid the catastrophe. In fact, Jiang Dong also had this idea, but he was scared when he heard the big snake.
But seeing that no one went back with him, Jiang Dong was still afraid.
It's been a while since I've been in the mountains, and I'm going back alone, what if I run into a fierce beast?
"Forget it, I'd better go with you." Jiang Dong was a little discouraged.
Yang Yushan smiled, pointed to the mountain peak in front of him and said, "Actually, it's not that far." I saw that the hill was not there, but it was all stones. The entrance to the cave is right there......"
"I still have to go into the cave......" Jiang Dong was even more worried.
…………
"Where did they go? What about Yang Yushan? What about the others......"
Xiao Bing ran back to the village like crazy and asked when he met people.
Originally, the villagers didn't have a good impression of Xiao Bing, but now they are in such a hurry. If you have a good temper, you don't care, and if you have a little character, you just scold.
"Didn't I hear you're gone? How did you roll back again. ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, our small place can't accommodate a big man like you......"
Xiao Bing is anxious now, where is he in the mood to apologize and reason with the villagers. Looked around, and kicked directly at a courtyard wall next to it.
There was a loud bang, and the courtyard wall did not collapse, but a big hole came out as if it had been hit by a cannon. Flying stones smashed all over the yard.
Well, the villagers were quiet.
"What about Yang Yushan and my friends?" Xiao Bing asked.
"I don't know, they're out of the village." Someone replied.
"What are the outsiders who came here before, what are they doing in the village? How did you get out in the end? Xiao Bing asked again: "I want details." ”
The villagers, you and I said a word, and the scattered answers gradually took shape in Xiao Bing's mind.
After asking, Xiao Bing had a number in his heart, and his remorse was even worse. He stomped his foot hard, turned and walked away.
After walking a few steps, Xiao Bing stopped again, turned around and bowed deeply.
"Today's situation is urgent, and there are many offenses."
With that, Xiao Bing flew away and went straight to the north.
"It's a bit polite in this later life,"
"If you are a fart, you are a madman."
"It's good if Boss Yang wants to, he definitely won't let him be so arrogant."
"Hey, why do you think these outsiders are like this......"
………
When Xiao Bing and the villagers inquired about the news, Yang Yushan had already taken Chen Dahai and others into the cave.
The cave is in the middle of a pile of rocks at the top of the mountain, it is very inconspicuous, and it looks very terrible, Jiang Dong didn't plan to go in, thinking that he was waiting at the entrance of the cave. But when I looked into the cave, I couldn't help but follow in.
The entrance to the cave is not large, but it is very wide inside, and large trucks can go unobstructed. And the most surprising thing is that there is a bright light inside.
It wasn't a lighting fixture, but a bizarre pattern on the walls of the cave, glowing with a faint white light.
I can't tell what shape the patterns are, they just look like some kind of totem, covering the walls of the cave on both sides. Phosphors can also glow in the dark, but it's all green. A substance that emits white light in a dark place is unheard of.
"This place should have never been discovered, but an earthquake broke open a dozen days ago, revealing the entrance to the cave." Yang Yushan sighed as he walked: "Originally, I didn't believe it until I strayed here......"
"What kind of snake god is that, right in here?" Tang Guo asked.
Yang Yushan nodded.
"Is it a real snake, or is it a statue?" Chen Dahai looked at the totems around him while walking, and faintly remembered some information and documents. Many relatively primitive tribal groups have worshiped sacred objects, statues or objects that have been handed down for a long time. But for those people, even a skeleton is a real symbol of the gods.
"I guess it's a statue." Yang Yushan seemed to hesitate: "But I always feel that the statue is alive." ”
"Haha, living statues, we've seen them." Jiang Dong laughed.
As soon as he heard that the so-called snake god might be a statue, Jiang Dong's courage immediately increased. Nor did he shrink at the back of the line, but walked a few steps forward.
"The cave is dimly lit, and if the statue is made well, it looks like it's real." Tang Xiaolin also put a little snack and glanced at her daughter.
In fact, when he saw the cave, Jiang Dong was not the only one who retreated, and Tang Xiaolin also muttered a little. But an inexplicable attraction still made her walk into the cave.
Tang Xiaolin herself was strange about this mentality, if before, no matter how much she wanted to know the truth, she would not take her daughter to a strange cave to explore. Thinking about it, it's mostly because after half a month of killing and grinding, the nerves have become a lot bigger.
"How deep is this cave? Where is the snake god statue? Tang Xiaolin asked carefully:
"It's quite deep, the statue is in the innermost, I'm afraid I'll have to walk for a while." Yang Yushan smiled: "Are you afraid? ”
"Cut, I've been in a more horrible cave than this." Hu Tie took the conversation and looked very disdainful: "It's dark there, and there are fierce beasts everywhere. It's bright here, it's not dangerous, there's something to be afraid of. ”
"Blow it, you'll be there." Tang Guo was even more disdainful.
In fact, Hu Tie really didn't say anything big, if you want to say that the person who has the least psychological pressure in the cave is Chen Dahai and a few of their teachers and students.
Trapped in a dark tunnel for two days, in the company of ferocious beasts and dead corpses. Such an experience will cause some people to have a psychological shadow, and some people will be immune to related affairs. Hu Tie and others are undoubtedly the latter.
Hu Tie didn't dare to argue with Tang Guo, and looked at his teacher for help, wanting Chen Dahai to help say a few words. But Hu Tie unexpectedly found that Chen Dahai's face suddenly became ugly.
"Don't go inside." Chen Dahai stopped: "I'll go and have a look with Brother Yang, you better go out and wait." ”
"It's okay, let's take a look." Tang Xiaolin smiled: "I'm quite curious about the snake god. ”
"Not a matter of curiosity." Chen Dahai frowned: "The more I go inside, the less solid my heart becomes." It seems that there is something very terrible in the depths of this cave......"
"You, don't scare people." Jiang Dong just gave birth to courage, and most of it ran away at once. But somehow, although he was already very scared, Jiang Dong still wanted to go deeper in his heart.
"Brother Chen, are you too nervous?" Yang Yushan laughed: "I didn't expect you to be such a big person, and you are not as bold as a child." Don't worry, I've been here many times, and there's no danger at all. ”
If it was usual, Chen Dahai would definitely be polite and follow Yang Yushan's words. But this time, Chen Dahai's attitude was very resolute.
"Brother Yang, it's not that I can't believe you, it's just that ......" Chen Dahai shook his head: "In short, I can't go any further." If I have to go and see it, I'll go, and everyone else will go out and wait. ”
"What do you say?" Tang Xiaolin was a little unsure about paying attention. Reason told her not to go any further, but I don't know why she just couldn't resist her curiosity.
"Anything."
Everyone else was also undecided, only Tang Guo seemed indifferent.
Seeing that everyone hesitated, Chen Dahai was so resolute, and Yang Yushan's brows also wrinkled.
"You really don't want to go inside? This is really strange......" Yang Yushan's fingers moved slightly: "Those people in the past, but they can't wait......"
At this time, Xiao Bing also arrived at the entrance of the cave.
