Not long after leaving the village, I began to use my scheming: "Uncle Wu, your back basket seems to be quite heavy, do you want me to help you carry it?" ”

Wu Zhangya immediately smiled, and unloaded the big bamboo basket: "Good boy, what a sensible good boy!" ”

Lao Lin said angrily: "What a fart, don't you see that your second master's back is heavier?" ”

"The second master is in the prime of life, and he can pull the buffalo upside down, and Uncle Wu is older than you, and his body is not strong, so I have to give priority to helping him carry it. This is the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young. ”

People are most afraid of old age when they reach middle age, Lao Lin feels that he listens to this, and he doesn't look for ballast after "humming". Of course, Wu Zhangya was also happy to get the benefits, and took out a small black cloth bag from his pocket and stuffed it into my hand: "If you take this with you, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects will not dare to approach you." ”

Inside the small cloth bag was a pill, which emitted a somewhat pungent smell. I have seen this pill, Wu Zhangya used this pill and saliva to apply it to his hands to catch the snake demon, and the snake demon was also a little afraid of this medicine, so it can be seen that its effect is extremely strong.

I asked, "What the hell is this?" ”

"This is a pill made of seven leaves and a branch of flower, realgar, calamus root and other things, a unique secret recipe, as long as you have a little breath on your hand, no matter how you catch the snake, it will not dare to bite you." Wu Zhangya said proudly.

Lao Lin said: "It's not a big deal, you just didn't help him carry things, he will give it to you!" ”

I gladly accepted, but there were still some questions: "Do you want to spit on your hands?" ”

"No, no, I've improved it, as long as your hand touches this bag, ordinary snakes won't dare to bite you. If you encounter a big snake that is about to become a demon like last time, as long as you rub the pill hard, it will turn into powder and sprinkle it on your body, and it will also have a certain repellent effect on other poisons, and even mosquitoes will not bite you. ”

I know that this pill is quite precious, otherwise Wu Zhangya would have given me one a long time ago, and I wouldn't wait until today, so I sincerely said thank you Uncle Wu.

Wu Zhangya said: "Uncle still has a lot of good things, as long as you are willing to call me the third master, I will teach you all of them." ”

"My eldest master and second master don't agree." I politely declined him. It's not that Wu Zhangya's medical skills and pharmacological knowledge are not worth learning, but I don't have this time, in order to become a qualified Mr. Yin and Yang, I really don't even have time to go on a blind date in the past three years, where can I still have time to learn medical skills? Medical skills can't prolong my lifespan, only the Big Dipper Destiny Method of my great-master is useful.

Lao Lin really showed the prestige of the second master, and resolutely disagreed to add another third master, which made Wu Zhangya a little depressed.

I took the opportunity to provoke: "Second Master, have you ever entered the ghost cottage?" ”

Lao Lin didn't answer, and Wu Zhangya immediately gloated: "Of course he went, but he was beaten into a pig's head, and even I almost didn't recognize it." ”

"Fart, fart, when did Lao Tzu be beaten into a pig's head? Am I lost and fell and my face is swollen, okay? Dare to spread rumors in front of my apprentices, and want to fight alone, come on, I'll make a hand! Lao Lin was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, looking at him like that, he must have suffered a lot.

I immediately asked, "Second Master, since you have never been beaten and you are not afraid, then you must dare to go now?" ”

"Of course, there is something I dare not ......" Lao Lin suddenly stopped, and the words changed, "Go and go, but I will deal with the living, and you will deal with the dead!" ”

According to Zhou Tan's guess, there are no living people in the Snake Intestine Valley, only fierce ghosts, so Lao Lin is justified and fearless.

Wu Zhangya's eyes lit up: "I heard that there is a treasure of bandits in the Snake Intestine Valley, if we can find it, we will send it." Don't listen to what your master said, he is as timid as a mouse, afraid of wolves and tigers, isn't he just a few lonely ghosts, what is there to be afraid of? If someone else is afraid of ghosts, you, the authentic heir of the Yin and Yang family, any ghost is a piece of cake, and this treasure belongs to us. ”

Lao Lin also echoed: "Your master is indeed a coward, you must not learn from him, as long as you can get rid of the ghosts, I will deal with monsters and the like, if there is really a treasure, it will definitely be caught." ”

"No problem, all the goblins are wrapped around me!" I agreed, secretly happy, I had been worried that I wouldn't be able to move the two of them, but I didn't expect them to want to go more than me. And I don't take Master's warning very seriously, a ghost is a ghost after all, how strong can it be? Maybe Zeng Shizu was in the ghost cottage, and he didn't dare to go in, so he couldn't find it.

Lao Lin used to refuse to mention the matter of the fierce ghost cottage, in fact, it was not that he was afraid of ghosts, but that he was once beaten violently, which was very embarrassing. Later, all the people inside died, mainly haunted, and my master refused to accompany him, and he didn't dare to go in, but now he dares to go with me.

We didn't follow the main road, we went straight along the small road, Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya went to Yunding Mountain to collect medicine several times, and they were familiar with the road. Our footsteps are fast, but we also walked to the foot of Genting Mountain at about 11 o'clock in the morning, which is completely primeval forest, and there are still some paths to be found at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya know the terrain, Lao Lin has a lot of experience in the wild, and I don't have to worry about him at all.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and in some places the mountain slopes to more than 80 degrees, and it is impossible to zhanzhu feet at all. The place where there are weeds and vines is fine, we can climb it with our skills, but when we encounter a steep stone wall, we can only grasp the uneven place and move forward carefully and slowly.

The treasure was moving, and Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya didn't have the heart to collect medicine, so they went straight to the ghost cottage. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived near the Snake Intestine Valley, and we originally wanted to continue forward, but suddenly the fog started, and we couldn't see clearly from four or five meters away, and it would be more dangerous after dark, so we found a place to set up camp and explore the Snake Intestine Valley tomorrow.

The camping place is by a small stream, backed by a huge rock more than ten meters high, and there are pine trees nearby, the trees are not high, the branches are crooked, and they are intertwined with each other, and the sky is particularly dark before it is completely dark. Although I have night vision, I can't see through the fog, and I can't see it from five or six meters away.

Wu Zhangya picked some dead branches and started a fire, and used a small aluminum pot to fill it with water and put it on the fire. Lao Lin caught a two-meter-long snake on the road, cut it around the snake's neck with a knife, and then nailed the snake's head to the tree, and tore off the snake's skin and internal organs in three or two clicks, and threw the snake gall bladder to me.

I had a bitter face, and under Lao Lin's angry gaze, I had to throw it into my mouth and swallow it immediately. Lao Lin himself loves to swallow snake gall bladder, and he wants to force me to swallow it raw, saying that it can detoxify and replenish the body. I feel that my shili is already very good, there is no need to "see the eyes", and the body is normal and does not need to be supplemented, but there may be parasites in the raw snake gall bladder, which makes people feel hairy. But Lao Lin is very fierce and arbitrary, and at this time, those who are apprentices have to eat if they don't eat.

The snake meat soup is originally very delicious and sweet, as long as you put a little red wine, you don't need to put other condiments, otherwise it will affect the original taste. Soon a pot of snake soup exudes an enticing aroma, and the delicious snake soup is mixed with fried and finely ground glutinous rice flour, and some sugar is added, and the paste is superb. There is meat and soup, there is rice cereal and old wine, it is very good to have such a pleasure in camping, the only regret is that the fog is thick, everything is sticky and wet, which makes people very unhappy.

Lao Lin and Wu Zhangxie are like starving ghosts reincarnated, they started to salvage before the snake meat was rotten, I was used to it, and I shot quickly, and I couldn't even drink the soup if I was not quick with them.

We were munching on my head when I suddenly became alert and felt something staring at me in the distance on my left. I turned my head suddenly, but there was no movement there, and there was a thick fog in the pine forest except for the night.

"What's wrong?" Lao Lin asked, still biting a large piece of snake meat in his mouth.

"I felt as if something was watching me."

Lao Lin frowned: "Don't be suspicious, if something is close to me, it can't escape my ears." ”

Wu Zhangya said: "Maybe it's a hare, Lao Lin, you take the gun to kill it, it's good to barbecue." ”

"Hmph, you know to eat, it's very dangerous to leave the fire in this kind of place, there may be tigers, leopards, maybe there are mandrills, savages and the like, it's not a joke."

"It's good to kill the tiger, I'm worried that there is no place to find tiger bones, and tiger skins can be sold for a lot of money......," Wu Zhangya muttered as she bit it.

After I changed to the Demon Fox Hero, my senses were extremely sensitive, and then I practiced the Yin and Yang Technique with a little success, and the five senses and spiritual sense went further, I could be sure that something was staring at me just now, but I couldn't be sure if it was a man or a beast. Now I concentrate on it, but I don't feel anything anymore, so I didn't say anything, continued to eat meat and drink soup, and if I didn't eat it, I was robbed by Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya.

The snake soup is famous for its deliciousness, ready to kill and cook, and the snake soup cooked in the wild with mountain spring water and campfire is even more delicious and sweet to the extreme, and a small pot is quickly eaten by us, and then a second pot is boiled. Lao Lin is a super glutton, he is very particular about eating and drinking, for example, he doesn't eat bamboo shoots for more than two hours, and the taste changes, and anything he makes with his own hands is delicious.

It was the end of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather was extremely hot at the bottom of the mountain, but the night was a little cold on the mountain, and the fog was thick and cold, so we had to stay close to the fire to warm up and reduce some moisture. It's still some distance from the ghost cottage, it's not a haunted area, so we weren't worried.

I have always cherished my time, sat cross-legged and began to practice, carrying the aura in order through the twelve meridians. It took nearly twenty years for the master to reach the second layer of the Yin and Yang Jue, and according to his speculation, I have good qualifications and can get the help of the demon fox, and it will take about five years for the second layer. But now that I have only been practicing for more than two years, I feel that the aura in the Qi Sea Cave has a tendency to separate yin and yang, and I don't know if it is my delusion or if I am exerting myself again.

Every time I finish my practice, in addition to collecting and refining a little bit of spiritual energy, I can also get an extra little pure yin attribute aura. This should be the result of my exchange with the demon fox aura, I have obtained some of its yin attribute aura, and it has also obtained some of my yang attribute aura, just like the water in a pot automatically communicates after being heated to achieve even heating.

The main reason for the difficulty is that it has to achieve a balance between Yin and Yang in the aura, but the aura practiced by men must be heavy in yang, and the aura practiced by women must be heavy in yin, and it is difficult to achieve a balance. The aura I practiced by myself was with yang attributes, and the aura I absorbed from the demon fox was with yin attributes, so I easily reached a balance, and I didn't feel that it was too difficult, maybe I was really about to break through.

I'm practicing, and Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya don't have a word of idle talk. It didn't take long for Wu Zhangya to sit up suddenly, suddenly lie down, a little irritable, tossing for a while, he quietly felt out a small bag......
