As soon as the rope sank, it was released, and then the well "gurgled and gurgled" bubbled upward, like boiling a pot.

That thing in the water is coming up?

I stared at the well with wide eyes and saw two bright spots slowly rising from the surface of the water.

The bright spot floated to the upper part of the water and circled around Uncle Li Di.

It was vaguely a snake, dragging its slender body, winding and winding, but the light was too dim for me to be sure.

The thing circled a few times and then dived again.

Soon, the rope in my hand sank heavily, and a sense of oppression came over me as a big fish took the bait.

When the old man heard the movement in the water, he hurriedly shouted, "Quick! Pull it up. ”

That thing in the well is not small, but it can't fight me and Li Di after all.

After some tugging, Li Di and I worked hard together and pushed Uncle Li Di out of the water.

As soon as it came out of the water, the weight on the rope instantly increased a lot, and I could see that the thing was tightly coiled around Uncle Li Di's ankle.

Li Di and I worked hard and pulled her uncle out of the well.

As soon as Uncle Li Di was flattened, the thing realized the danger, straightened up, let go of the body wrapped around Uncle Li Di's ankle, fell on the well platform with a click, and ran into the well when he looked up.

This thing looks like a snake and an eel, but the same body is snow-white, about a meter long, as thick as a baby's arm, with fish fins on its back and a tail like scissors.

"Grab it, don't let it run." Seeing this, the old man shouted anxiously.

It's so easy to get you up, and can I let you run again?

I lunged over and crushed it underneath me.

It was a water-dwelling species after all, and it was so slippery that I pounced on it, grabbed it, and got it out of my fingers.

Thinking that this guy was not happy, when he saw that we were chasing and intercepting, he turned his head and ran under the well platform at once.

Underneath the well platform is the land.

As soon as it scurried down, it landed unsteadily, and its body rolled on the ground and was covered in mud.

Now, you're not so slippery, are you?

I lunged at it, grabbed it by the neck, and picked it up.

"What's next?" I asked the old man.

The old man pointed to the big willow tree and said, "Tie it to the tree with its head down." ”

It really makes people callous, how can this slippery thing be so easy to tie? Also head down.

But it is important to save people, since the old man said so, there must be a reason for him.

Immediately, I rummaged through my backpack and found a cow's hoof tendon, and Li Di and Li worked together to tie it to a tree.

When we were tied, the old man went under the willow tree, broke off a willow branch, and whipped it up.

I can't help but be amazed, this old man is clearly a spirit, he can actually handle real things!

It's no wonder that the five-clawed golden dragon will eat deflated under him, it seems that this guy does have real materials.

At the same time, I had a lot of doubts in my heart, since this old man has such great ability, what kind of wicked person can't be killed, why do you want us to kill it?

Just stunned, that thing actually let out a cry of "wow"!

Li Di stared at the thing closely, and his eyes were a little unbearable: "What does saving my uncle have to do with something?" How pitiful you hear it cry. ”

"Your uncle Bacheng is confused by this thing, the old man is trying to subdue it, right?" I'll guess.

"Girl, get a bowl of water."

At this time, the old man stopped his movements and shouted at Li Di.

I looked up, and saw that the thing we had tied to the tree had turned red, a delicate red, under the whipping of his willow branches.

How so?

Could it be that he killed that thing?

"Is the water glass okay?" Li Di retorted.

When we go out, who will carry a job with us?

"Okay, as long as it can hold water." The old man waved his hand and motioned for Li Di to hurry up and take it.

The old man took the glass of water and placed it under the object's head.

Drop by drop, the blood fell into the cup.

The old man beat it just to get its blood?

It's just that it's so troublesome to take blood?

Wouldn't it be easier to kill and bleedlet directly?

After receiving a dozen drops of blood, the old man threw the willow branch and picked up the water cup.

Li Di asked, "Senior, are you pouring this blood into my uncle?" ”

The old man shook his head and smiled: "This is not blood, it is the saliva of this thing, also called ambergris." ”

Li Di shrugged his nose and seemed to feel a little disgusted.

I stared at the four statues tied to the tree, and said incredulously, "This is a dragon? ”

The old man continued to shake his head: "This is naturally not a dragon, it should be an extremely rare fish, and I don't know what its name is." However, this thing likes to eat dragons, and it is the nemesis of dragons, and where there are dragons, there are them. The reason why your uncle is unconscious is that he was injured by a worm, and he has an egg in his body, which can only be solved by ambergris. ”

I think everyone has heard of an idiom, insinuation.

The insinuating thing is the stinger.

When Li Di heard the old man's words, he was a little disbelieving and asked, "Is my uncle really injured by the snake?" ”

The old man nodded: "The snake is a kind of water monster, when the moonlight throws a person's shadow on the water, it will spray sand at the person's shadow, and most of the people who are sprayed will die." ”

"It's not sand that's spraying it, it's its eggs, right?" I asked.

"You're not stupid." The old man said a gossip, "Yes, most people think that it sprays sand, but how can sand kill people?" Innuendo is a way of laying eggs, and it can only survive if the eggs are laid on the shadow of a person. And the person who is sprayed will fall into a coma, and then unconsciously go to the territory of the dragon. ”

"Why does a squirting egg on a person's shadow cause a person to fall into a coma?" I just can't figure it out.

"You are also a cultivator, think about it, what does the shadow mean to people?" The old man smiled but did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"What does the shadow represent?"

I repeated, but I still didn't figure it out.

"The shadow represents the life of the man, and the dead have no shadow." Li Di is quick to talk.

The old man looked approvingly: "That's right." The shadow of a man is like the soul of a man. Hurting a person's shadow is more fatal than directly injuring someone, and most people can't think of it, which is also a unique means of snakeling. It lays eggs on the shadow of man, and it controls man's mind. You were all egged that night, and your two friends, who have a special identity and constitution, are not afraid of this thing, so they are fine. You two also vomited all the water you drank in, and it was fine, only sleeping for a while. Only you, the uncle, were unlucky and have been asleep until now. ”

This matter is understood, Li Di bowed to the old man and said, "Then please ask the seniors to wake up my uncle quickly, how to use this ambergris?" ”
