Chapter 7: Encounter with a ghost

Ed closed his eyes, and with a mortal determination, he flew into the snake hole behind the tree. Luckily, the hole in the tree was a smooth tunnel, and Ed rolled all the way to the bottom of the pit, slamming his body against the stone wall. At this time, Ed was dizzy and rested quietly for a while. Ed pulled out a small flashlight from his rucksack, and by the dim light, he vaguely understood the face of the hole.

This hole is more than ten meters square, and the ground is covered with a relatively thick layer of dead grass, but fortunately, with this layer of dry grass, Ed will not fall too hard.

Ed rumbled in his belly, thinking that the cobra was going to return to the cave at some point, and that he was going to become the belly of the big snake, and he was disheartened.

Ed thought to himself that maybe the snake would store some food, and that even if he were to die, he wouldn't be a starving ghost. He had a flashlight in his mouth and his hands were picking up the dead grass. Suddenly, I felt that something was reflecting the light of the flashlight.

Ed looked closely, and saw four or five grapefruit-sized snake eggs neatly arranged among the dead grass.

This cobra is so powerful, if he is allowed to reproduce more offspring, it can only harm people, and he will simply eliminate some harm for the people before he dies. Thinking of this, he picked up a snake egg and smashed it against the stone wall. The snake egg was like a huge egg, and Ed smashed all four or five snake galls in turn, and at this time he was exhausted and hungry, and when Ed saw that the snake egg had no peculiar smell, he reached out and grabbed the eggshell, and drank the remaining egg liquid.

Ed drank the egg mixture and felt a warm current surging through his abdomen.

Could it be snake venom? Anyway, whether it is poisoned or not, it is a dead end, so I simply picked up a few more eggshells and drank them.

After four or five minutes, Ed felt a full of strength in his body, and his spirits were immediately lifted. The previous air of decadence was swept away. It seems that this snake egg is really a good thing, Ed suddenly didn't want to die at this time, and wondered if there was a way to get out.

Ed took three turns around the cave and found that there was no way out. Looking up at the entrance of the cave, there is no end in sight, presumably I can't climb up, if I meet a cobra halfway back, won't I send myself to the point of no return.

I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard a noise from above.

Ed knew that the serpent had returned, and quickly turned off the flashlight. Run to the corner and curl up.

The cobra's huge body slowly swam into the hole, and gradually its body coiled up. Perhaps because the snake's skin is too thick, the cobra does not seem to have found the eggshells and liquid on the ground.

Ed's heartbeat doubled in an instant, how could he escape from this snake hole?

The cobra didn't seem to notice Ed's trace, and he didn't dare to act rashly at the moment.

After a while, Ed saw that the cobra didn't move at all, so he moved around and tried to give the cobra a surprise attack.

But things were far from going as smoothly as he thought, but as soon as he got up, he fell to the ground with a pop, it turned out that Ed had been curled up for a long time, causing the blood in his legs to be blocked, and he suddenly stood up, his legs did not obey the call, and he was dizzy in front of him. I couldn't help but fall in front of the cobra's eyes.

The cobra was already very alert, and it was disturbed by such a big movement, so there was no reason why it didn't know. The cobra quickly raised its head and shook it from side to side, its tongue constantly sticking out.

Ed was so frightened that he lay on the ground like a dead stake, not daring to move.

The serpent sniffed, and his tongue finally swept over Ed's face. Ed only felt a coldness on his face, watching the cobra slowly squirm past him.

Soon, the big snake gently pushed Ed with his head, and Ed was completely exposed to the big snake's field of vision.

Ed's heart said, it's over, this time it will definitely be swallowed by this big snake.

The cobra twisted its body and encircled Ed's entire body without much effort. Just as Ed closed his eyes and waited for death, the serpent's body stopped tightening.

Ed was coiled in the middle by the snake's body, and after a long time, he felt as if the snake was asleep, and since he had already caught himself, why didn't he kill himself? It just wanted to wait until the next day to eat itself.

Ed is trapped in a snake cave and spends the night snuggling up to a giant cobra.

Is it a blessing or a curse, Ed is no longer afraid of death by this time, and he has no idea of escaping. Because he knew that with his own ability, it was impossible to escape. But he still had an unexpected gain, and gently removed Xuanxiu's Buddha beads from the snake's head.

I don't know how long it took, but Ed felt his body rise and fall in a daze, and there was a light in front of him.

Suddenly, a burst of white light hit, and Ed immediately closed his eyes, but the air around him was unusually fresh. Ed felt himself coming out of the hole.

Indeed, Ed came out of the hole to the surface.

Earlier, Ed broke the snake egg and drank the egg liquid. Because his whole body was covered with the smell of snake eggs, the big snake thought that he was a newly hatched snake, so he did not hurt him, but took care of him.

Ed was taken out of the cave by the serpent, and suddenly felt that there was hope for life. So they had to find a way to get rid of the serpent.

While Ed was thinking about how to get out, two people turned out from the foot of the mountain in the distance, talking and laughing in the direction of Ed.

It was a young man and a woman, holding hands, flirting from time to time.

I saw that the man was handsome, wearing a white shirt and a red vest with golden auspicious ornaments on the vest, and loose pants made of red satin. The woman also has good facial features, and she looks like a small jasper. The woman wears a small red jacket and a large red pleated skirt underneath.

The man and woman were both barefoot and looked like a newlywed.

If it was in the stockade, Ed didn't care when he saw it. But now in Nirvana Mountain, which is a place where ghosts gather, there are no villagers living all year round, but where did this little couple come from.

Ed didn't want to bother him with more things, but this man and woman came straight to the door.

The bridegroom said, "Brother, why are you alone here?"

Before Ed could speak, the cobra attacked the bridegroom.

It turned out that the big snake thought that the groom would be bad for Ed, and Ed was just a small cobra in its eyes at this time, and needed its protection.

Ed thought to himself, he wasn't a friendly creature anyway, so he might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then find a chance to escape.

The cobra opened its mouth wide and squirted a stream of hot poisonous juice at the groom, and the groom smiled unhurriedly, gently raised his hand and pointed at it, and the moment when the poisonous juice was about to touch his fingertips, it suddenly stopped, and from the fingertips to the tongue, a long icicle was formed.

The groom laughed, jumped up on the spot, spun 360 degrees, and kicked his left leg the icicle formed by the poisonous juice, and actually plunged the icicle straight into the snake's belly from the cobra's mouth.

The cobra fluttered on the ground, twisted for a moment and never moved again.

It turned out that the icicle had pierced the heart of the big snake, and I couldn't imagine that such a powerful big snake would die in an instant.

Ed on the side was frightened, and it seemed that this pair of festive characters must be extremely dangerous monsters.

Ed was about to run away, but the little bride had already walked in front of him. This woman is also smiling and cute. Ed looked at the woman's face, and did not feel a trace of uneasiness, but had a feeling of wanting to be close.

The bride said: "Little brother, you are here alone, today we are married, go and drink our wedding wine!"

Ed wanted to leave, but he was afraid that he would be killed by them all at once, so he had to force a perfunctory smile. The groom also laughed at this time and walked over and said, "Little brother, come on, good wine is waiting for you!"

Eddard was like a frightened chicken, and he had to be at the mercy of others, so he promised with his mouth full of promises, and went with the bride and groom.

Along the way, the little couple frolicked and played together, singing folk songs together from time to time, and they were happy along the way.

Ed looked at the scene in front of him, and originally thought it was very beautiful, but unfortunately he didn't know whether the other party was a human or a demon. And this reminds me of the sweet days when I fell in love with Anan at school, why did I fall in love, why did I come here again, such a place where there are more ghosts than people.

The more Ed thought about it, the more he had a headache, and suddenly felt wind under his feet.

Ed looked down and saw that his feet were off the ground. His shoulders were grabbed by the bride and groom, and he had already flown halfway up the mountain. At this point, Ed finally concluded that these two were not ordinary people.

The groom said in an enthusiastic tone: "Brother, it's coming soon, let's get drunk today." ”

Ed was too frightened to speak, and in a moment they landed on a meadow on the mountainside.

The meadow is lush with many bright and colorful wildflowers, and the leaves on the surrounding woods are verdant, and you can see a few yellow and green birds flying around in the forest, which is a happy and peaceful scene. I can't imagine that there is such a quiet place on this Nirvana Mountain.

The young couple took Ed to a large mansion, which was a very grand wooden house in the middle, and the left and right wings were also quite delicate and tidy.

Ed expected to be greeted by many people, but the room was deserted and there was no one to be seen.

The groom said, "Brother, you're welcome, sit!" Hey, there are few people on this mountain, and I can't find anyone if I want to be lively on the wedding day, but fortunately I met you, brother, and you happened to be a witness for us today!"

The bride on the side blushed when she heard this and said, "Brother, you wait, I'll go to the back and get you some good wine and food." ”

Ed was about to wave his hand, but the little bride was gone, and only a red flash flashed behind the screen. Seeing that the husband and wife both had unpredictable tricks and tricks, Ed no longer dared to act rashly.

Ed heard the sound of stir-frying in the backyard, and the smell of rice wafted over a while.

The little bride put the meals on the table one by one, and brought a jar of old wine, which smelled really mellow. Ed hadn't been able to eat properly for the past two days, and most recently he drank snake eggs to barely survive until now.

"Little brother, please!"

Looking at the sumptuous table of wine and food, Ed couldn't help but eat and drink. Watching him gobble up, the little couple was happy.

In a short time, Ed was almost full. Somehow, this meal was more than usual, maybe the bride's craftsmanship was too good.

Ed hiccuped, feeling a little out of shape. I also think that although this young couple has strange methods, they are still good to themselves. Maybe it was because he had eaten too much at once, and Ed suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, but he was too embarrassed to speak, so he felt uncomfortable.

The bridegroom saw the problem and said, "Is my brother unwell?" There is a toilet in the backyard for the brothers to use by themselves. ”

Ed let out a sigh of relief, immediately thanked him, and hurried to the backyard.
