Chapter 195: Xanadu

This old man with a white beard hanging down to his waist turned out to be called Uncle Shan, and looking at the attitude of the golden snake towards him, the relationship between the two should be very good.

Uncle Shan smiled: "Why isn't it a little guy?" You grew up watching me, and even in a few decades, you'll still be a little guy in my eyes. As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed the golden snake's hair.

Hu Lao Mo whispered to me beside me: "His name is Uncle Shan, and he is the gatekeeper of Jinjiazhai. However, it is extremely high in status and seniority in the clan, and it is said that the ability to refine and manipulate zombies is second only to the grandmother of the golden snake. I'm afraid it's slightly better than Brother Long. ”

Hearing Hu Laomo say this, my heart suddenly sank. I don't have a specific concept of the strength of Grandma Golden Snake, but I have deep feelings about Brother Long. But now he told me that the old man in front of me was even more powerful than Brother Long, which surprised me a little.

After chatting a few words between Uncle Shan and Golden Snake, he shifted his gaze to me and Hu Laomo, glanced at the two of us, and showed a kind smile: "Xiaohu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Old Demon Hu also responded to him with a smile: "Uncle Shan, your old body is still so healthy, it's really gratifying." This time, I brought Brother Long's apprentice to him. He said as he pointed to me next to him.

Uncle Shan showed a somewhat surprised expression on his face, just now he was just looking at me very casually, probably thinking that I was some close friend brought back by the Golden Snake and Hu Lao Mo, but he didn't think of my identity.

"Are you the apprentice of the Hundred Mile Dragon? Could it be ...... Are you Jiang Ming? ”

This time it was my turn to be surprised. I didn't expect that the actual second-in-command of Jinjiazhai, who was called Jinjiazhai, would be able to call out my name in one mouth. Could it be that Brother Long still mentioned me to them? But in any case, I was a little proud to be called by such a person who was my predecessor in terms of age and spell cultivation. I hurriedly replied: "Uncle Shan is right, the junior is Jiang Ming, the apprentice of the Hundred Miles Crazy Dragon. Fortunately, I will be honored. ”

Uncle Shan laughed: "Baili Crazy Dragon always told me that your kid has an unruly personality, and he is very strong and stubborn, and he is very difficult to discipline. I thought you would be a little prick, but I didn't expect you to be a polite and handsome young man. He laughed and patted me on the shoulder, which made me feel very kind, I didn't expect this powerful Uncle Mountain to be so amiable.

But as soon as he said this, I remembered that I still had the human skin mask on my face that I had been wearing since I met Chi Han in Shanghai, and it was still not my original face. At this time, I am about to see Brother Long, so there should be no need to cover it up.

Thinking of this, I gently buttoned my chin and other places, and then tore off the human skin mask on my face in their somewhat surprised eyes: "Actually, this is what I am. It's not handsome at all, but it's a little scary. ”

I tore off my skin mask and revealed my true face. On the left cheek, the five jet-black paw prints are still very eye-catching. Hu Lao Mo seemed very calm, probably knowing my true appearance from Brother Long a long time ago. The kid of the golden snake yelled and scolded me for being unkind.

Only the moment Uncle Shan saw my appearance, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he stared at the five scratches on my left cheek: "This is ...... Is that a trace left by that being? Yes, it must be. It's this breath that makes people palpitate, so powerful that it's indescribable......"

He involuntarily reached out to my face, but it quickly became apparent that he had lost his temper. was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew his hand, his expression returned to normal, and his face was a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang Ming, I'm really happy to see Hunting, and I didn't control my emotions a little." ”

I shook my head and whispered, "It's okay, let's go in first, right?" I think...... Look at Brother Long. ”

Uncle Shan seemed a little embarrassed by what he had just gaffed, nodded again and again, and then led us towards his small wooden boat. Actually, I can understand him, because since the vampire incident on Nanjing West Road, I have guessed where these five black scratches on my left cheek are coming from.

That's right, that's ...... The scratch marks left by the Dark Spirit King when he entered my body!!

I had already vaguely guessed the nightmare that I kept having when I was younger. In the mist-filled chaotic void, a poor baby lay on the cold ground, surrounded by a raging fog filled with all kinds of mountain spirits and wild monsters. There is only one, and the largest figure is the most powerful!

It stretched out its claws towards me, and it was the Dark Spirit King!

And that white and chubby baby is probably me! Although I have forgotten this terrifying experience that remains in my mind, it remains in my subconscious, and I keep recalling the original scene. I don't know how the Dark Spirit King and the Blood Spirit King got into my body, but I think it must have something to do with the secret plan of Brother Long and his group.

This time I came to Jinjiazhai in Xiangxi, I should ...... You can figure out a lot of things in the beginning! When I think about this, I feel both nervous and expectant, and my heart is pounding.

I, Hu Lao Mo, and the three of us followed Uncle Shan into his small wooden boat, and the remaining three zombies passed towards another small wooden boat under the command of the bell of the golden snake's corpse chasing. There was a hunchbacked middle-aged man on it, who should be the one who guarded the mountain gate of Jinjiazhai with Uncle Shan. I heard the golden snake call him nameless brother, and he didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

When we were all seated on the little wooden boat, Uncle Shan swung the oars and let the little wooden boat row over the dark green deep pool, heading towards the crack in the mountain cliff in front of us. The small wooden boat rows on the surface of a calm, mirror-like waterhole, revealing an ethereal and deep, yet mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

Soon, the two small wooden boats had rowed to less than twenty meters before the crack in the cliff mountain, and they were about to enter the gap, but the two small wooden boats stopped and did not move.

I was wondering, but suddenly I felt the small wooden boat under me swaying slightly, as if there were waves in this deep pool. It's strange, this is a secluded pool, how can there be waves for no reason?

But soon my doubts were answered. For in the light of the kerosene lamps hanging from the bow of the little wooden boat, I saw a great shadow appear in the clear waterhole, which normally rushed up from the depths of the pool at a great speed.

Before I could fully react, this huge shadow suddenly emerged from the pool!!

In the midst of the sound of rushing water, a large black head emerged from the deep pool. Beneath the huge skull, with a long neck, also emerged from the pool......

That's a huge ...... Boa!!! It's just that this python is covered with thick black scale armor, and its eyes exude a faint blue cold light, which looks extremely strange in the dark. What's even more shocking is that on the forehead of this huge black-armored blue-eyed python, there is actually a single horn, which is extremely sharp! There are also four slight bumps on the belly of the snake facing us, as if something is about to burst out, making it easy to think of something like a claw.

This is...... Is it about to transform from a giant python to a dragon snake?! In this dark green deep pool, there is such a shocking existence.

And the most disturbing thing is that this huge snake with a single horn exudes a strong dead aura all over its body. This dead air is pervasive, making people feel very depressed and dull in their hearts.

Therefore, this is not only a snake that is about to turn into a dragon, to be precise, this is actually the corpse of a snake, a zombie snake!!

This Jinjiazhai is really extraordinary. It is indeed unbelievable that a dead snake can be used to refine a zombie and then put it in the waterhole in front of the mountain gate to be used as a guardian. Originally, the python turned into a Jiao, which is generally carried out in an extremely secret place, and when the spring thunder rolls, it deliberately uses the demonic energy emitted by the body to attract the surrounding magnetic field and then leads down the thunder in the sky to split itself, so as to achieve a complete rebirth of the python into a Jiao.

If it succeeds, it will transform into a dragon with four three claws on its belly, and if it fails, it will be wiped out and turned into ashes under the rolling thunder. It is very difficult to see the corpse of the real snake, and I don't know how the people of the Jin family found the corpse of this snake.

The golden snake saw the zombie snake rising from the waterhole, and pouted: "Is it this guy's turn to guard the mountain gate again?" I don't like it, it robbed Xiao Jin of his corpse pill. ”

It's this guy's turn again?

The golden snake's words made my heart jump again, and I thought of the time when we had just arrived at this place, and I was standing on the edge of the waterhole and vaguely saw more than one huge shadow swimming in the depths of the waterhole. It can be surmised that there is not only such a zombie snake in this dark green deep pool, there must be other unimaginable zombie spirit creatures......

Uncle Shan laughed and said, "Okay, little guy, don't complain." Even if she didn't find this intact corpse of the snake at the beginning, Jinhua would not have been able to give the corpse pill she had worked so hard to refine to your little guy. After all, it's too small to be of much use anytime soon. ”

As he spoke, he took out a quaint bell from his bosom, which was also a corpse bell.

It's just that Uncle Shan's corpse bell, as soon as I took it out, I immediately felt a strong aura spread. It was a feeling mixed with a strong death breath and a savage atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes, which made people can't help but want to bow down to the corpse bell!

This is definitely not an ordinary corpse ringing bell, this is an extremely powerful magic weapon!

Uncle Shan shook the bell, but it made a dull sound similar to the roar of some kind of beast. After hearing the sound of this bell, the huge zombie snake seemed to recognize the legitimacy of the comer. After scanning the back and forth between the two small wooden boats, Lan Youyou's gaze slowly sank in front of us into the pool, and in the blink of an eye, it sank completely into the pool and disappeared.

The surrounding water surface returned to calm, and Uncle Shan led the small wooden boat towards the front. I looked at the Golden Snake and Hu Lao Mo, both of them looked calm, so they should not be surprised. It was only when I saw this scene for the first time that I felt a shock in my heart.

The distance of only more than 20 meters is not too far, and it is quickly rowed past and enters the huge crack in this cliff mountain. The chasm turned out to be a ravine, and when the small wooden boats sailed into this canyon, they were enveloped in deeper darkness, except for the orange kerosene lamps on the bows of our two small wooden boats, and we could faintly see a large number of upside-down bats on the mountain cliffs on both sides. These bats were the size of a child of four or five years old, but they were all quiet, as if they were asleep.

Needless to say, these huge upside-down bats must also be one of the guardian forces of this Jinjiazhai, which is really amazing! Just from the entrance gate of this Jinjiazhai, it is no longer lost to some famous and decent families in Xuanmen Taoism. No wonder you can let Laoshan Zhangjiao real people come here to visit in person, they do have such capital, it is too low-key!

After about two minutes of driving through this dark canyon, we reached the end of the canyon. It was a place made of rocks, and it was supposed to be the place where we went ashore.

Uncle Shan rowed the small wooden boat to the edge of the stone dock and docked steadily, then stretched out his hand and rubbed the head of the golden snake: "Okay, little guy, hurry up and take Xiao Hu and Jiang Ming to see your grandmother and the Hundred Miles Wild Dragon." I guess they're talking about business, I'll work here first, and I'll come back when I need to come. ”

After saying that, he let the hunchback called the nameless big brother by the golden snake send the three zombies ashore. When everything was arranged, he rowed back into the canyon with the hunchback. When I came there a while, I saw that there were caves that seemed to be inhabited by people on top of the mountains with huge bats hanging upside down, and that was probably where they usually stayed.

After going ashore, stepping on the solid stone road, I took a deep breath and adjusted my emotions. He followed behind the golden snake with Hu Lao Mo and walked forward.

After all, this guy is only fifteen years old, a year or two younger than me. Teenagers always go home with some excitement and excitement. He smirked at me: "I'll tell you, don't be too surprised to see our Jin family's territory later." Tell you, it's a first-class feng shui treasure. After saying that, he ignored me and walked as fast as he could.

I looked at Old Demon Hu, but he nodded: "Brother Golden Snake is right, this Jinjiazhai is indeed a first-class feng shui treasure." However, this specific situation is also more complicated, you can see it by looking at it. ”

The more this happened, the more it aroused my curiosity. Hurry up and follow the golden snake forward.

There was a long stone staircase ahead, and it looked like it was going to be a long way up. This length would definitely be exhausting and out of breath if ordinary people walked it, but it was not too difficult for us to walk. Of course, Jin Snake and I both subconsciously forgot that Hu Lao Mo was actually an ordinary person......

I trotted up to the end of the stone staircase. It's a cave-like place, with a wide platform that is so high that you can see the scene ahead.

I was really taken aback by the sight of it!

Because in my own imagination, since it is a village where the corpse chasers gather, even if it is not said to be ghostly, cold and terrifying, it should be a rather dull feeling. But what appeared in front of me now shocked me, and I almost felt like I had come to the wrong place!

I saw that standing on the broad platform in front of our cave looked ahead, and in the middle of the col surrounded by mountains, there was a small village with bright lights. In this small village, lanterns are hung in every house. The color of this lantern is not scary at all, it is all the kind of orange and yellow that makes people feel warm in their hearts, making the whole Jinjiazhai feel like a warm harbor in the night.

The small village has a very three-dimensional feeling, and it is very novel to build layer by layer by relying on the mountain.

And in this brightly lit village, there are bluestone paths that extend in all directions, extending in all directions. There are not only vendors selling things, but also some naughty children who are jumping around, chasing and frolicking with small windmills in their hands.

A small river flows around the village and eventually flows down the high and low slopes into the ground. I think it must have ended up in the dark green pool where we came.

Surrounding the valley are full of flowering trees. In the night, it is difficult to distinguish the color of these flowers, but you can smell the fragrance of the flowers. I think that in the daytime, the flowers and trees in the valley are absolutely beautiful and make people's hearts tremble.

This...... Where does this look like a village where corpse chasers gather!! It's a paradise at all, right?!

The sentence written in Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" that Brother Long once forced me to recite immediately came to my mind.

The land is flat, the houses are like that, and there are good fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hangs down and is happy.

It is very appropriate to use such a sentence to describe this seemingly quiet and tranquil small village.

Seeing my shocked look, the golden snake laughed proudly: "How is it?!" I'll just say, Brother Jiang, you will definitely be dumbfounded when you see our Jinjiazhai for the first time, right? ”

I nodded convincingly: "Yes, it's amazing. In a paradise-like place, your Jin family will really enjoy it. ”

After sighing, Hu Laomo and I continued to follow the golden snake towards the village in front of us. After entering the village, you can still feel the harmonious atmosphere. Hu Lao Mo seems to come to this place often, so he actually walked on the road in the village, and was able to greet some people along the way.

If you insist on saying that this peach blossom paradise general place may make ordinary people feel a little terrifying, it is that you can occasionally see some people in the village walking between them, followed by a human figure with stiff movements and gray-white eyes. Obviously, that's zombies. And it's not this kind of zombie that the golden snake chases the corpse, but the real zombie, but I don't know what the strength is.

What made me feel a little ironic was that I saw an old man who was buying snacks on the side of the road, and directly put the towel he used to wipe his sweat on the arm of a zombie next to him, which was almost like a drying rack for his zombie!

I even saw a tiny little zombie, not so stiff, sitting next to a group of frolicking children, with gray-black eyes staring straight at the children.

What a magical place!

I looked left and right, and I felt as if I had entered another world of unimaginable novelty. It's really amazing, I didn't expect this Jinjiazhai to be such a scene.

We followed the golden snake all the way forward, walking along the bluestone street, and we arrived in front of this relatively gentle slope mountain. Because this Jinjiazhai itself is built according to the mountain, it extends down from the top of the mountain with a relatively gentle slope, and radiates to the surroundings at the bottom. However, it can be seen that the higher the house on the mountain, the higher the status of the residence permit.

The grandmother of the golden snake should be in a building at the top of this mountain, which is the house of the head of the Jin family!

Brother Long...... It should be in there too!

When I thought of Brother Long, I felt a little nervous again. I haven't seen him for almost a year, and I don't know what Brother Long's reaction will be after meeting? Will you just beat me up? As I walked towards the top of the mountain, I couldn't help but feel uneasy. (To be continued.) )
