Chapter Ninety-Three: The Snake Girl
As soon as Zuo Dengfeng finished speaking, Thirteen jumped off the city wall with his back bowed, a height of more than ten meters is nothing to Thirteen, no matter how high it jumps from, it can always land on all fours.
Thirteen jumped off and quickly ran towards the city, Zuo Dengfeng frowned and looked sideways and did not rush forward with it, Thirteen followed him to the south and north for so long, Zuo Dengfeng never found out what it was afraid of, no matter how strong the other party was, Thirteen would pee and demonstrate, the white snake with a human face in the city was about the same size as the python he killed before, not very big, so Zuo Dengfeng did not immediately go with Thirteen, he wanted to see why Thirteen was so bold, why was he not afraid at all.
Whether it is a human or an animal, there are two possibilities for being bold, one is that the surname is stupid, and he does not know how to be afraid. The second is that the strength is strong, and there is no need to be afraid. Zuo Dengfeng believes that the situation of Thirteen falls into the latter category.
After thirteen rushed out of more than ten zhang, he found that Zuo Dengfeng did not follow, turned his head in confusion and looked back, and found that Zuo Dengfeng was still standing on the city wall looking at it, and he was dissatisfied with Zuo Dengfeng and bared his teeth, and after baring his teeth, he turned around and rushed forward again.
Zuo Dengfeng was amused by Thirteen's expression, and the meaning it meant by baring its teeth just now should be, 'You let me go by myself?' ’
After laughing, Zuo Dengfeng rubbed his body and swept down the city wall, following behind Thirteen, although his keen intuition told him that the white snake was not powerful, he still didn't worry about Thirteen fighting alone, in addition, he was also worried that Thirteen would hold a grudge and would find an opportunity to make fun of him in the future.
The abandoned city covers an area of more than 20 acres, the area is not very large, Zuo Dengfeng and Thirteen quickly rushed to the front of the white snake, the white snake saw them rushing and did not dodge, after they stood still, the white snake did not attack, just looked at them calmly.
On closer inspection, Zuo Dengfeng saw more clearly, this white snake does have a human face, its facial features are almost the same as the face of a human young girl, its mouth is small, its nose is straight, its cheeks are red and its teeth are white, its beautiful eyes are wavering, and it even has a pair of double eyelids. It's a pity that she doesn't have hair, otherwise she would definitely be a beauty. It's a pity that behind this face is a white snake body the thickness of a rice bowl, and the scales on the snake's body are in stark contrast to the face of a beautiful woman, creating a huge contrast.
If the appearance of this white snake made Zuo Dengfeng dumbfounded, Zuo Dengfeng's actions after coming to the white snake after thirteen came made Zuo Dengfeng completely dumbfounded, and he sat down three feet away from the white snake, staring at it and waiting for something.
Thirteen would usually squat with their backs bowed and never sit down if they were to fight. In fact, from the time he saw this white snake to the present, Thirteen did not show strong hostility, which made Zuo Dengfeng feel puzzled, just when Zuo Dengfeng was puzzled, the white snake in the grass slowly raised the snake body, and the snake body twisted slightly while opening its lips and teeth, and let out a crisp chirping sound.
The sudden sound made Zuo Dengfeng stunned, and quickly moved sideways to the front of Thirteen, Thirteen turned his head to look at him when he saw this, and shook his head to signal that Zuo Dengfeng did not need to be nervous.
Thirteen's expression made Zuo Dengfeng cry and laugh, the reason why he quickly moved in front of Thirteen was to protect it, not to seek its protection. But naturally he wouldn't bother with a cat, this white snake didn't have a huge mouth of fangs, and it must not have any offensive surname.
The crisp sound of the white snake before it was like the opening before the opera song was sung, and then it twisted the snake's body and opened its mouth to make a sound, the voice was graceful and soft, although Zuo Dengfeng couldn't understand what it was singing, but he could be sure that the white snake was singing, because the pronunciation of this snake was slightly similar to the pronunciation of the villagers outside, the difference was that the villagers outside pronounced very quickly, and this white snake pronounced very slowly when singing, the words were mellow, the tone was complaining, and the tone was coquettish, as if it was a natural sound.
There is no mirror at this time, otherwise Zuo Dengfeng will definitely find that his mouth is wide open, he never thought that there is such an animal in the world, the mouth of the white snake has a human tongue, and the song is extremely beautiful, and the writhing snake body makes Zuo Dengfeng can't help but think of the girl's soft waist, but unfortunately the snake has no hands and feet, and the expression on his face has always been a stiff smile, which is so inconsistent with the beautiful appearance and beautiful singing.
"Thirteen, you've seen this animal before?" Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to Thirteen and asked, Thirteen was squinting his eyes at the moment with the look of a human listening to music.
Thirteen nodded when he heard this, indicating that it had seen this animal before.
Thirteen nodded, Zuo Dengfeng was relieved, since Thirteen had seen this animal, it showed that this beautiful snake did not attack the surname, and the singing was not to confuse people.
"You've been here before?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked. Although the song of the beautiful snake is good, Zuo Dengfeng still feels awkward, if this kind of tune is made by humans, Zuo Dengfeng will definitely feel beautiful and pleasant, but it is made by a white snake, which makes Zuo Dengfeng feel absurd and weird.
Thirteen shook his head when he heard this, indicating that it hadn't been here before.
"And where have you ever seen this animal?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again.
Thirteen didn't respond this time.
Zuo Dengfeng then remembered that this question could not be answered by nodding and shaking his head, and just wanted to change the way of asking questions, the singing stopped. Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look at the white snake and found that the white snake was staring at him, although his expression was still stiff, there was something in his eyes.
Zuo Dengfeng didn't know why, looked at Thirteen suspiciously, and found that Thirteen was also staring at him.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked.
Thirteen naturally couldn't answer his question, Zuo Dengfeng was stunned for a moment and finally reacted, took out a food bag from his arms, opened it and threw it to the white snake, which was the meat left over from drinking with the corpse chaser yesterday morning, Zuo Dengfeng didn't eat all day yesterday.
When the white snake saw Zuo Dengfeng throw something, he immediately lowered the snake's body and sniffed closely, and after a while, he turned his head and swam into the grass, not eating the food that Zuo Dengfeng threw at it.
"Here's for you." Seeing this, Zuo Dengfeng took out a fruit from his arms and threw it over, many fruits in the mountains of Hunan ripened in summer.
The white snake turned its head to sniff the fruit, and immediately let out a gurgling sound similar to human laughter, and after laughing, opened its mouth to swallow the fruit whole, and the way it ate still retained the characteristics of a snake.
Thirteen, who had already stood up, squatted down again when he saw this, and the white snake twisted the snake body again after eating the fruit and began to sing, singing the same song as before, and staring at Zuo Dengfeng again after singing.
"No, no." Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand at it ashamedly, the white snake may not understand Zuo Dengfeng's words, but it can understand Zuo Dengfeng's hand-waving action, and was slightly disappointed when he saw this, turned his head and swam away into the depths of the grass.
"Thirteen, have you seen this before?" Zuo Dengfeng watched the white snake leave, and then asked Thirteen. Thirteen had previously run in front of the White Snake and squatted down in a similar way to a human taking a Mazar to the plaza to listen to the play, indicating that he had heard the White Snake sing before. Zuo Dengfeng now wants to determine whether the one he saw before Thirteen is the one he saw today.
Thirteen shook his head when he heard this.
Seeing this, Zuo Dengfeng had an answer in his heart, this white snake was not mutated, but had a population. Although he didn't know what kind of white snake it was at the moment, he could be sure that it was just a snake with a human face, and the reason why it could sing was most likely domesticated and taught by humans, somewhat similar to a parrot that learns to speak.
The reason why Zuo Dengfeng let the white snake swim away was because he knew that the IQ of this kind of animal was not high, and what it did was just an instinctive reflex, unlike Thirteen, who had a sober mind that could read, so it was impossible to ask useful clues from its mouth.
Although he couldn't ask questions head-on, Zuo Dengfeng still deduced a few clues, first, this snake was very likely to be used by the residents who lived here before for entertainment, after the city was abandoned, the white snake was left here, and it has not run away for many years. Second, this city is not large, and there will not be many residents living in the past, and it is unlikely that the civilization of such a city will have the conditions for domesticating the white snake, so Zuo Dengfeng judged that this city should not exist alone, and there should be a larger city around. Third, no one has ever been to this city since it was deserted, and if anyone has come, it is very likely that they will find this singing white snake, and once it is found, it will definitely be captured and sold, and destruction and trafficking are unique habits of the Chinese.
When Zuo Dengfeng frowned and thought, Thirteen had already climbed the city wall from the broken part of the city wall, and when Zuo Dengfeng returned to the wall, it had already lay down on its stomach and began to sleep, Zuo Dengfeng did not disturb it, and took out the liquor from the wooden box to drink wine to warm up. After entering the mountain for a day, he found that he was in a very good mood, but then again, he swept seven or eight hundred miles in one day and one night yesterday, and it is estimated that he would have to walk for a month as an ordinary person.
This is almost where the border of Yongguo is, and after resting, you should move twenty miles north and look back. Thinking of Zuo Dengfeng's mood here dimmed again, the search speed could not be calculated according to the length of east and west, but should be calculated according to the width of north and south, that is to say, he could only search for a range of twenty miles in one day and one night. According to historical records, the area where Yongguo was located spanned nearly 1,000 miles from north to south, so it would take at least 50 days to find this area, and even if the place to be found was in the central area of Yongguo, it would take nearly a month.
After a short rest, Zuo Dengfeng turned out the Taoist classics given to him by the golden needle, these books record the most ordinary Taoist knowledge, in fact, these things are not beneficial to his practice, the yin and yang life and death recipe is the true nature of cultivation, like ninety-nine eighty-one, other Taoist classics and Taoist spells are nothing more than three fifty-five, four six twenty-four, are not as profound as the yin and yang life and death recipe. But what Zuo Dengfeng wants now is not the height of cultivation, what he wants is the ability he has. This situation is like a commander who has no intention of being promoted to captain and is fully equipped and trained by his own existing army.
Most of the Taoist classics talk about how to cultivate oneself and how to raise one's surname, focusing on cultivating the hearts and surnames of people in Taoism, so that they can be peaceful, benevolent and compassionate, so as to lay the foundation for them to practice advanced spells. Because only with a peaceful mind and practicing advanced spells is it not easy to deviate, taking a step back and saying that even if you don't succeed in cultivating, you can be a good person after studying Taoist classics.
However, Zuo Dengfeng directly omitted these contents, he didn't want to be peaceful, in his opinion, a peaceful mind would lose his blood surname and courage, and his current spell was originally based on unpeace, the method of turning blood into qi was wrong, and the true qi of Xuanyin was also a sword, since it was already wrong, then simply make a mistake to the end.
