Chapter 53: The Dragon and Snake Hang Red

This kid has never spoken north and south, and Gu Wenmin was angry enough, and said with a wry smile: "It's all like this, why do you still say these empty words." These snakes are really strange, they will chase us out of the house, is it really because they offended the snake king? ”

When I was a child, I heard people often say that the snake with a crown on the top mountain is the king of snakes. Often, there are only one from several hills. When the Snake King has cultivated to the extreme, he can become a dragon. The snake king also belongs to the essence category, the nature is to have a grace will be repaid, there is a revenge must be returned, I was in order to save the tofu, the snake king fell hard, it trembled all over the ground, this revenge, I am afraid that it will not give up. 、

So I said to Gu Wenmin: "It seems that you seem to know a lot about snakes, and you know that agave can cure snake venom, so do you know that there is something that can drive snakes?" ”

Gu Wenmin shook his head, sighed softly, his slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "To drive snakes, of course, sulfur is used, but in this barren mountains and mountains, where can there be sulfur?" ”

When Tofu heard this, he looked like he was in despair, and said: "The passing year is not good, it seems that my Dou Bozhi is going to die here today, and it is too bad to die like this, no, I am not reconciled, even if I die, I have to pull a few cushions, Lao Chen, don't you say?" I have never been a fearful person, and his words resonated with me, even if I lost a thousand, I would have to pull eight hundred enemies on my back, so I asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" Any thoughts? ”

Tofu said that snakes are afraid of fire, and he is going to attack with fire, and burn a few to count a few. My body had already regained some sense, and even though I was trembling on my feet, I was looking for something to start a fire in the temple with Tofu.

Gu Wenmin didn't approve of us being so impulsive, and hurriedly said: "What kind of method are you guys, what if it causes a mountain fire, and ......" I interrupted her and said, "When is it, you can still take care of the mountain fire, and your consciousness is too high." I'd rather set a wildfire than die here like this. Gu Wenmin said that he couldn't move the two of us, so he couldn't help but chop his feet in a hurry.

She's good at everything, but her sense of justice is too strong, and she is a little rigid in some aspects, I'm about to fucking die, and she still has the mood to care about the natural environment!

After saying that, Tofu and I ignored her and began to look for the fire lead.

I only cared about talking about snakes before, and didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, but at this moment, I turned the flashlight light, and suddenly I saw a huge black snake head, with its mouth wide open, just aimed at the back of our head.

I had been poisoned by the snake and had not yet recovered, and when I suddenly turned my head and saw such a thing, my legs immediately weakened, and I sat on the ground with my buttocks. On the other hand, Tofu actually stood upright, without the slightest fear, I was shocked and said, "Xiaodou, you are finally out of breath!" ”

"I ...... I...... I...... I can't move. Tofu stammered out a few words, staring at the eyes of the snake's head, already staring like a goldfish, and this kid was too scared to move.

At this time, I also suddenly felt that something was wrong, because although the big snake had its mouth wide open, it was motionless, and it seemed to have a lot of things on its body, like a dead thing.

In this ruined temple, how could there be such a huge dead snake?

Gu Wenmin was also frightened enough, and it took a while to calm down, staring at the black in front of him, and speculated: "It's not alive, it seems to have something on it, what is it?" "Tofu is naturally afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants, even if he knows that he is dead, but such a big snake still scares him enough that he does not dare to come forward. I hated that iron could not be made of steel, so I dragged my heavy steps forward, only to see that it was indeed a huge dead snake, and its body was just on the altar made of earthen platforms, and there were stone sticks and other things under it, so I maintained the posture of raising my head and opening my mouth.

The muscles of the snake's body have long since shrunk, and the remaining snake skin is covered with dry bones, which forms a strange contrast with the huge snake head, which looks extremely terrifying.

And what Gu Wenmin said, the things on the snake's body are layers of cloth, and I only pulled the head of the cloth, and countless dust was raised, and people who were confused couldn't open their eyes.

Gu Wenmin was puzzled: "How is it cloth?" ”

Tofu also relieved himself at this time, and speculated: "Could it be that he is afraid that this snake will be cold, so someone has covered it with a quilt?" ”

I fanned the ashes, and was made to cry and laugh by the unreliable speculation of tofu, and scolded: "Fuck the quilt." This is 'hanging red'. With that, he shook off a piece of cloth on the snake's body and shook off the dust, only to see that the cloth had already faded in color, and some red could be faintly seen.

In the folk, during the New Year's Festival, there is the custom of hanging red on the statue of the gods, that is, tearing the red cloth and hanging it on the golden body of the gods, which has the meaning of inviting the gods. There are certain specifications and sizes for hanging red, and they are different according to the size of the statue.

And these cloth towels in front of me are neatly folded, overlapping six times and then put on the snake, which is obviously the red hanging of the gods.

But how could this thing appear on a big snake? Could it be that someone thinks of this snake as a god?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look up, hoping to see a plaque for the gods, and sure enough, just above the snake's head, there was a wooden plaque that had been unpainted, with spider webs hanging on it, and the three big characters of the Dragon Temple could be faintly seen.

Gu Wenmin listened to me, and also understood the truth, when she saw the three big characters on the flat, she suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization, and said violently: "It turns out that the Dragon Temple refers to this place." "It seems that he knows the origin of this temple and the serpent. Without waiting for me to ask, she explained.

Before coming to Fengtou Village again, Gu Wenmin had checked some information about Fengtou Village in advance, and there was a legend about the Dragon Temple.

Legend has it that in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there was once a group of soldiers digging rocks in the mountains, which is said to be to find the golden vein. In the process of excavation, a dragon snake was dug up.

What is a dragon snake called?

The snake is also known as the little dragon among the people, and it is said that after practicing for thousands of years, it can turn into a dragon. After the snake has cultivated to a certain level, it will first grow dragon horns, and there will be large bags like dragon horns on both sides of the head, which is the dragon snake that is about to turn into a dragon.

This kind of dragon snake has always been regarded as a symbol of good luck, and there are many folk legends about encountering dragon snakes.

That soldier, it is said that he was ordered to search for golden veins in the mountains, which is equivalent to the current geological army. In the process of excavation, a dragon snake was dug out by chance, the dragon snake was molting, motionless, and the two horns that grew out were magnificent in color, like a bright glow.

When the soldiers who took the lead saw that the dragon and snake had no power to resist, they immediately became greedy, because it is said that the spirit of thousands of years of cultivation has an elixir in their bodies, and mortals can prolong their lives if they eat it, and they have divine power, which is what we now call something with special functions.

The soldier was greedy, so he let people tie up the dragon snake and prepare to open the snake's belly to get the elixir. He was afraid that the dragon snake would wake up, so he decided to fight quickly, and after disemboweling, he got a dragon snake pill.

The leading soldier was overjoyed and immediately swallowed it, thinking that from now on, he would be able to be reused like Yang Jian, Nezha and others in the Romance of the Gods. Who knew that after he swallowed the Dragon Snake Pill, snake scales began to grow on his body, and his legs also turned into snake tails overnight, becoming a monster with a human body and a snake tail.

Later, some people often said: In the forest, I saw a human body with a snake tail walking through, with a mouth as big as a crocodile, a pronunciation like a human, a ferocious personality, and a penchant for cannibalism.

And that night, all the soldiers had the same dream, and they dreamed that the serpent's belly was cut open, like an eye of water, and it swept everyone into its belly, and then the belly closed by itself, and in the dream there was another man, who hissed and said to them, "I want you to pay for your life."

The next day, when the rest of the soldiers woke up, they were stunned. The dragon snake that was obviously dissected had its belly open, and its belly was undamaged.

Everyone was frightened, and immediately reported to the boss in an urgent manner, but the boss did not believe it, and even if there was such a thing, the dragon snake would not seek revenge on himself, but the soldier who killed it. So the boss ignored it and reprimanded the person who sent the letter.

The soldiers couldn't, so they spontaneously built a dragon temple to raise the level of the dragon snake, and ordered the surrounding villagers to offer incense and worship. At first, the villagers were forced, but who knew that the dragon temple was very effective, and gradually the incense was vigorous, as for why it declined later, it is unknown.

After hearing this, Tofu couldn't help but say, "This dragon snake is really so powerful?" Could there really be a snake tail in this place? In this way, the red-crowned snake king outside doesn't count, and when he sees the dragon snake, he has to be called an ancestor! ”
