Lin Mei and I traveled very fast, and we entered the Snake Intestine Valley that evening, but the Snake Intestine Valley was no longer the Snake Intestine Valley of the past, all the houses were demolished, all the weeds were eradicated, all the big trees were dug up by the roots, and the ground was full of huge deep pits.

Originally, there were no bones in the place where Yizhuang was located, but there were several piles of ashes, and it seemed that Lu Chengshan gathered the bones and burned them. Now the snake intestine valley has become an ordinary cliff rift valley, there is no mist, no houses, and the former ghost cottage is gone.

Lin Mei was very disappointed, depressed, she didn't say a word from the valley mouth to the bottom of the valley, this is the place that carries all her memories, and now the only memories have also been erased, how can she not be sad?

The big locust tree at the entrance of Yizhuang was also dug down, and the small hole I dug in the tree was facing Xiangxia, and the soil in the small hole had fallen out. I'm not sure if someone found the hole or if the tree had fallen and shook the dirt out of the hole. In short, Lu Chengshan was already a little suspicious of me, so he would go to my house to have a look, but Lu Chengshan couldn't be sure that I took the things, so he didn't make a big move.

I feel a little uneasy, the husband is not guilty, and I know very well that the jade talisman and the treasure map may bring me great trouble! If possible, it would be better to move to another place to live, but I have no income in the past few years, and the 50,000 yuan subsidized by ZF has been almost spent (part of it is to honor Master), and now that the economy is tight, where can I have the money to buy a house? Besides, no matter where I move, it is still easy to find me with Lu Chengshan's powerful means, but moving seems to be empty-hearted.

"Shall we spend the night here?" I looked at Lin Mei.

Lin Mei nodded, put down the back basket, we began to collect firewood to make a fire, boil water to cook noodles to eat, put the noodles in the water and scoop them up, and mix in the pre-mixed haode sauce, which is convenient, fast and delicious.

After eating the noodles and cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Mei sat down next to me, leaned on my shoulder, and talked about some interesting things about her in the Snake Intestine Valley, which were actually some digging birds' eggs, chasing wild boars, pretending to be scary and so on. I didn't say a word, and secretly I had already started to practice the Yin and Yang Technique, and I always used all my free time to practice in this way, because my time was very, very precious.

I don't know how long it took for me to wake up from the practice and find that Lin Mei had fallen asleep leaning on my shoulder, so I helped her to gently put her down, held her half in my arms with one hand, and then pulled out a piece of clothing from the bamboo basket and covered her.

The weather was fine tonight, and most of the moon had reached the middle of the sky, and the moonlight shone through the leaves above the snake intestine valley, and the stars sprinkled on Lin Mei's face, so that her calm and beautiful face emitted a faint divine light, and I was a little stupid to see it.

"Alas......"

I sighed lightly, Master's hexagram and Chen Xing were like a thorn in my heart, and I had to think about it when I calmed down. I have also considered Master's words, the possibility of having both light and dark, but how can I do it if I want to owe no one and bear no one's responsibility? Lin Mei can accept Chen Xing, but Chen Xing can't tolerate Lin Mei, I really don't want to make my feelings so complicated, how good it is to be as quiet as now!

Lin Mei had been sleeping soundly, and by the time she opened her eyes, it was already dawn. She just smiled naturally, without the slightest shyness, without even saying a word xiexie, which seemed to her like we slept in the same bed the other day. I hugged her all night, and both legs and one arm were numb, but as long as I could let her sleep well, I was willing to suffer this kind of pain every day.

We ate something and continued to walk up the hill. The summit of Genting Mountain is not easy to climb, and it is covered by clouds and mist at this time, so the difficulty of climbing is greatly increased, so I chose to explore the cold cave that is relatively easy to reach first.

The cold hole is at the bottom of a not very high cliff on the north side of the main peak, the entrance of the cave is just a gap formed by three boulders, it is very inconspicuous, but it keeps spewing out cold air, the weather of July and August, standing at the entrance of the cave for a few minutes, I feel cold all over my body. This kind of air conditioning is even colder than the air conditioner in an air-conditioned room, and although the temperature is not very low, it makes people feel cold to the bone.

The hole was small, and it might be too narrow in some places for a bamboo basket to be carried into, so we wore sweaters and cotton clothes with us, and only the necessary things like ropes, daggers, batteries, and flashlights. Shotguns, dry food, bamboo baskets, and the like were placed outside the hole.

After putting on thick clothes, I didn't feel cold when I first entered the cave, but the depression and silence unique to the cave made me feel breathless, and I was always worried that the stone walls on both sides would suddenly close and crush me into meat sauce. It's a natural feeling of fear that no one can experience without having personally entered the cave, plus there are a lot of condensed water droplets on the walls of the cave and a thick layer of moss underground, as if no one has ever entered it.

We can hold hands as much as we can, which will add a little bit of security.

The cave slopes all the way to Xiangxia, which is very irregular and completely natural. Some places are so small that you need to be sideways to get through, some are low enough to crawl on the ground, and some are large enough to accommodate a living room.

The unusually quiet and darkness of the cavern was breathless, and it was an absolute silence, devoid of any wind, insects, or birds, so much so that it felt like thunder in the sound of one's breathing and heartbeat. The darkness here is also absolute, although I can still see things, but everything seems to be made of pure black cloth, I can't see the smallest places, I can't see far. Lin Mei can't see anything at all, she can only turn on the flashlight, and after the flashlight is turned on, there is light, and we can see clearly without shining at the target, but this does not reduce the sense of depression and fear.

I've never been into such a deep cave, but luckily with Lin Mei behind me, otherwise I might have turned around and walked back. At this point, I finally understood that many cave masters in Weishenme did not dare to explore deeply, and only those with particularly strong endurance and special psychological quality dared to enter such a place alone. Master is obviously not such a person, and I am not particularly good at this, but Lin Mei is more calm and calm than me.

As the depth into the cave increases, the temperature gets cooler and colder, and it begins to feel cold in cotton clothes. Maybe it's still 3-5 degrees here, but because the yin qi is so heavy, it feels like it's going to freeze, and it's really cold to the bone marrow.

"You wait here, I'll go down and have a look......" I tried to be as soft as I could, but it felt frighteningly loud and had a terrible echo.

"No, I'm going with you." Lin Mei's voice was very resolute.

"It's cold down there, your physique is not very good, I can regulate the yang energy in my body and not be afraid of the cold."

"I'm fine right now, I can hold it up."

I couldn't resist her, so I could only let her follow again, and after walking for a few minutes, it had already exceeded the place where Lao Lin had arrived before, when Lao Lin felt that it was impossible to explore this hole to the end, he didn't have internal cultivation and couldn't stand the yin qi, so he didn't go too deep.

In front is a fairly flat passage, less than a meter wide, with flat stone walls on both sides. Compared to other places, it was easy to walk and the feeling of depression was not so strong, so I picked up my pace a little. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiaoxue suddenly spoke: "Be careful, there is a demonic aura ahead!" ”

I was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Is there a monster in front?" ”

"Yes, there must be a monster, and the monsters will exude their own aura and form an inviolable territory...... This should be the breath of a snake demon. ”

I was a little nervous: "How deep is its cultivation, can you beat it?" ”

Xiaoxue hesitated a little: "It's hard to say, I don't think it's very powerful, but the problem is that I can't play my strength now." ”

I started to have a headache, it was inconvenient to move in such a cave, and I couldn't escape in case of danger, but I was a little unwilling to give up like this.

Xiao Xue said: "I feel that the aura of this snake demon is not very domineering, maybe not very fierce, I will communicate with it a little further forward and see if I can borrow a way." ”

"Good!" Of course I can't ask for it, Xiaoxue is getting more and more capable.

Seeing that I had not moved for a while, Lin Mei asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

"There's danger ahead, you stay back."

Lin Mei didn't go back, but got closer, wanting to help me in case of danger.

I took the flashlight against the other to avoid alarming the monster in front of me, and walked forward slowly, and I didn't go far I sensed some kind of dangerous aura coming from in front of me, and it seemed that I also heard the sound of the giant thing sliding, so I hurriedly stopped. But the creature in front of it was already alarmed, and let out a roar, and at the same time, the sense of crisis and oppression increased significantly.

We didn't dare to move, because the cave was a bit bent, and we couldn't see what was in front of us. The monster no longer moved, but the killing intent and pressure it exuded were still there, and it was clearly staring at the end of the cave, ready to pounce at any moment. The invisible monster was even more nervous, and I couldn't even hold my breath.

I sensed that Xiaoxue had already started to communicate with the snake demon, and its mood was complicated and changed quickly, so I had no way of knowing how the negotiations were going.

The basilisk suddenly swam forward, and its head appeared in front of me, the size of a basin! At this time, Xiaoxue looked very angry and angry, it should be that the negotiation failed.

Xiaoxue said anxiously: "Its Taoism is not very high, it is less than five hundred years, but it is very large, sitting in the well and watching the sky has never seen the world, thinking that it is very remarkable, and refuses to give way." Don't run ...... now."

As he spoke, the body of the giant snake was four or five meters long, its head was raised nearly one person high, and it shrank back slightly to make a pounce, and the back of its body was even larger, hidden in the darkness for I don't know how long.

I didn't dare to act rashly for fear of a sudden attack, I had never seen such a big snake, neither in real life nor on the TV news. Such a large snake is enough to swallow a person in one bite, and if it is provoked, no one can speed up it in a rugged cave, and it will definitely be caught up by it and swallow dates.

The snake demon was also quite jealous of Xiaoxue's breath, but he just demonstrated and did not move again. At this time, I saw its appearance clearly: from its head, it looks like a python, without fangs, its whole body is snow-white, its eyes are bright red, it doesn't look particularly vicious, if it is reduced to the size of a finger, it can even be said that the ice and snow are cute, but the momentum it exudes is very strong, like the domineering and coercion that a king naturally shows.

Pure white snakes are very rare, I have only seen them once in the newspapers, it was a newborn baby snake, not very white, it is said to be a mutant variant. And the big white snake in front of him is as white as snow and bright as silver, the scales are oily and smooth, if it is absolutely dazzling in the sun, it seems to be such a strange snake, probably only the white lady in "The Legend of the White Snake" can be compared, right?
