Chapter Seventy-Two: The Serpent Artifact
Master Liu explained:
"If we go further, we will see a deep pool of water in the middle of the rocks in the cave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In a waterhole, or around, there will be a huge white snake perched. The body of the snake is about 100 meters long and 20 meters wide. ”
When the tour guide heard this, he felt suffocated again, so he said:
"Ahh
Master Liu shook his head and said:
"You're scaring yourself again. That giant serpent won't hurt us. It is a fetish of the Cloud and Mist True Sect guarding the entrance of this cave. ”
The tour guide is not afraid when he hears the "fetish". Then he said:
"'Divine Object'? How is the giant snake a divine object? Isn't that a divine beast in the divine realm?"
Master Liu said:
"Not yet. When the cloud and mist real person ascended to the immortal realm and became an immortal, this giant snake that had been cultivating with him for a long time also flew into the divine realm, either as an immortal beast or as a divine beast. This giant snake also has seven hundred years of skill! Up to now, the Cloud Mist True Man has been cultivating for more than nine hundred years, and it will be almost a thousand years soon, and when he cultivates to a thousand years, he will be able to become an immortal.
The reason why this giant snake is a "thing" is because, originally, this giant snake is not a snake, it is a snake-shaped white jade dust pendant of Yunwu Zhenren, which is used to decorate his cultivation of immortals.
The body of the snake is made of white jadeite, the eyes of the snake are made of two rubies, the letter in the snake's mouth is also made of rubies, and the two snake teeth are made of gold. Later, it was lit by the real person of the cloud and mist, and it was transformed into a little white snake with fairy nature. After that, the little white snake cultivated on its own and became a powerful white giant snake. It has been cultivating with the Yunwu True Man for more than seven hundred years!
So, for a while, when you see that white giant snake, you don't move. It will watch us for a while, and it will spit out its letters, bared its teeth, and you should not be afraid.
When it confirms that we are not bad people and have no malicious intentions, it will let us enter the Cloud Mist Taoist Temple.
I've been here a few times before, and this giant snake, knowing me, won't hurt me. However, it hasn't seen you and may be paying more attention to you. ”
"Look, why pay attention to me, I'm scared, won't swallow me, won't you entangle me, will you? The serpent is hungry, and it might swallow people alive?" the tour guide was already crying in fright.
Master Liu said:
"Oops, I can't say I can't. This giant snake has been cultivating for seven hundred years, and it no longer needs to eat. And it was originally a piece of Buddha dust pendant, which does not eat people. It's here, it's just guarding the entrance of this cave and not letting demons, monsters, and bad guys enter the Cloud Mist Taoist Temple, which is the order of the Cloud Mist True Man. In the future, the cloud and mist real person will fly into the immortal realm, and it will also fly into an immortal beast or a divine beast!"
"Then I'm scared too!" the tour guide said, bowing his head.
"Then you stay here and wait for me!" Master Liu finished speaking, and was about to leave.
"Don't, I'm afraid that the giant snake will come and find me and eat me!" the tour guide hurriedly followed behind Master Liu in fear and cried.
After Master Liu heard this, he just shook his head and didn't say anything more. He continued to walk in the cliffs.
The sound of water droplets is getting closer and closer, and the guide can already shine a flashlight on the source of the water droplets. It was some of the rocks at the top of the cave dripping water, and the drops were slowly dripping down into a waterhole on the cave floor. This waterhole is right in the middle of the cave, and the edges of the waterhole are wide and narrow. On the other side of the waterhole is the exit of the cave. Only by walking along the edge of the waterhole can you walk to the exit of the cave and get out of the cave.
The guide took a picture of the waterhole from afar. The surface of the waterhole shimmered with the glow of a flashlight. But you can feel that this waterhole exudes a dark and mysterious coolness.
Although there is no way to know how deep this waterhole is, the area of this waterhole is about 200 square meters.
"The cave in this cliff is really huge, I don't know how old this cave is, is it thousands of years old?" said the tour guide to Master Liu while shining a flashlight on the inside of this cave.
"Well, more than that. Master Liu was vigilantly looking for the giant snake.
The tour guide saw that above the waterhole, on the top of the cave, the dripping rocks were all strangely shaped, and some were very sharp. After the drops of water dripped from the rocks, they dripped down into the pools below. The water droplets fall into the pool with a "tick, tick" sound and a tiny splash.
At this time, there are not many droplets, and they do not drip all the time. Just irregularly, and slowly dripping a few drops every now and then.
Maybe because the tour guide had never seen such a huge snake, he was just scared, not too scared.
At this time, he could still think about where the water droplets on the rocks came from.
He watched for a while, thought for a while, and thought that the droplets might be rain. It may be that when it rains, the rainwater seeps into the soil in the cracks of the rocks, and then slowly penetrates down the rocks layer by layer, and finally flows into the top of the cave, and then drips into the ground of the cave. After thousands or at least hundreds of years, this unfathomable waterhole was formed.
Master Liu wasn't in the mood to think about this. He kept a wary eye on his surroundings and listened carefully to the sounds around him. However, he observed and listened for a long time, but he did not find any other situation, nor did he make any other sounds, only the "ticking" sound of water droplets dripping from time to time.
The guide alertly shone a flashlight around the area. At this time, the tour guide noticed that the light of the flashlight was a little weak. He said to Master Liu in fear:
"Oops, this is a problem. The flashlight is running out. ”
Master Liu whispered:
"Shhhh We hurried quietly along the edge of the waterhole to the exit on the other side of the waterhole. ”
The guide nodded.
By the faint light of the flashlight, the two of them walked to the waterhole, and walked along the edge of the waterhole to the exit on the other side of the waterhole.
The edge of this waterhole is different in width, some are more than ten meters wide, some are more than five meters wide, and some are only more than one meter wide.
Halfway through them, they heard a loud "sizzle, sizzle" sound coming from somewhere. The tour guide was so frightened that he stopped. Master Liu also heard it, and he also stopped to listen.
Master Liu whispered:
"Don't be afraid, don't move. It could be that the giant snake appeared somewhere. Where is it hiding? Can you see it?"
The tour guide was frightened, he was so frightened that he began to breathe rapidly, he lowered his voice and said:
"I, I don't know, I, I, I'm so scared!"
Master Liu motioned for him to stop talking.
The tour guide shone around with a flashlight, and suddenly he screamed in shock, and he was so frightened that he almost threw the flashlight away.
After Master Liu heard his exclamation, he hurriedly followed the light of his frightened flashlight.
He saw that on the opposite side of the waterhole, there was a pillar-shaped rock. The serpent was coiled on the rock, and was looking at them with red eyes, spitting letters, baring teeth, and making a "sizzle, sizzle" sound!
It turned out that in front of the pillar-shaped mountain rock coiled by this giant snake, there was an even larger mountain rock blocking it.
When Master Liu and his guide first entered the cave and walked to the edge of the waterhole, when he used his flashlight to shine around, he only shone on the rock in front of him, but not on the rock with a giant snake in the back. At that time, the giant snake did not make a 'sizzle, sizzle' sound, so neither he nor Master Liu found the location of the giant snake.
The pillar-shaped rock is almost 150 meters high, almost half the height of the cave. The snake body of this giant snake was coiled on the rocks, but it had a huge head high, blood-red eyes were staring at them, and it was spitting blood-red letters, and the light of the terrible snake teeth flashed back to the flashlight.
The tour guide was so scared that he wanted to run. Master Liu hurriedly stopped him. Master Liu said:
"Don't move, you're not as fast as it, you'll be swallowed by it. ”
When the tour guide heard this, he was surprised and said:
"You said it doesn't eat people, and now you say it will swallow me!"
After saying that, the tour guide burst into tears.
"It doesn't devour people to eat, it tries to kill. However, you are not a bad person either, don't be afraid. Master Liu said.
"How can it tell the difference between good and bad?" asked the guide, crying.
"It has power. Master Liu replied.
"What should I do if I don't know how to do it?"
"It's hard to say. Seven hundred years of skill still can't tell the difference?" Master Liu asked.
"What if you don't tell the difference?" the guide cried.
Before Master Liu could answer, at this time, he saw that the giant snake began to climb down the rock.
The serpent began to move slowly, but it didn't take long to be surprisingly fast. Finally, with a loud "plop", the giant snake plunged into the water, and in just one second, its snake body "swished" and all of it slid into the pool and disappeared.
The pool water returned to calm, and looking at the dark and cool pool, the tour guide felt very scared. He felt his legs go limp, and he was a little unsteady on his feet. Even Master Liu was frightened by the giant snake just now. Although he had seen the giant snake a few times, he was still scared every time he saw it, although he knew that the giant snake was not dangerous.
The tour guide was really scared, and he turned around and was about to run, but Master Liu saw that he was going to run, because he was also scared just now, and he also panicked, so he followed and ran.
However, they had barely taken two steps when they heard a loud "bang" and a loud sound of water from behind them.
When the tour guide and Master Liu looked back, they were all frightened and screamed.
It turned out that the giant python suddenly rushed out of the pool of water, and the giant snake held its head high and looked down at them.
Unexpectedly, the exclamation of the tour guide and Master Liu just now seemed to frighten the giant snake, and it stretched out its head back suddenly, and then probably felt that there was nothing to be afraid of, so it stuck its head back again.
On the head of the huge snake, two blood-red eyes were staring at the two of them. The giant snake's huge blood basin spat out red letters, and showed its sharp snake teeth, and made a terrifying "sizzle, sizzle" sound.
Master Liu and the tour guide saw that most of the body of the giant snake was still in the pool water, and a small part of the body had already gone to the edge of the pool, right in front of Master Liu and the tour guide.
The serpent was so huge that the guide almost fainted. Master Liu held him up behind him and said:
"Hold on!"
The tour guide cried and whispered:
"Look at it, it's such a big mouth! I can't even fit it between its teeth~"
Master Liu whispered:
"Don't be afraid, it will observe for a while, and it will let us go. Hold on! Don't be scared to death by it!"
When the giant snake heard Master Liu talking, it suddenly turned its head to stare at Master Liu, probably because it was familiar, so it stared at it for a while.
Master Liu calmed down, and he showed a smiling expression. The giant snake stretched out its head to the left, then stretched out its head to the right to look at Master Liu, and then it suddenly stretched out its head again, looking at him from above, and then suddenly lowered the snake's body, and looked at Master Liu from the bottom up.
After watching Master Liu, it observed the tour guide like this for a while. The tour guide was so frightened that tears flew and his snot was about to come out, and he twitched his nose a few times. The sound alerted the serpent.
The giant snake suddenly stopped moving, staring at it motionlessly, and the guide was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything anymore.
A few seconds later, the serpent "pounced" into the pool with a loud bang as if nothing had happened. After that, he stretched out his head with a loud "bang", and then the entire body of the giant snake slid out of the water with a "whoosh", and quickly coiled onto the opposite stone pillar-like mountain rock. Then, the serpent remained motionless as a sculpture. If you don't look closely, you think it's a sculpture on a rock!
Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the tour guide:
"Let's go, it's going to let us enter the Cloud Mist Dao Temple. ”
