Chapter 3: The Mysterious Snake Repellent

Finally, the sound of the flute gradually became low and mournful, and everyone who listened to it felt like crying. The snakes also began to get a little agitated. Slowly, a path about half a meter wide was opened on the encirclement, and a "whirring" sound was remembered in the distance, like the sound of the wind blowing on the curtains.

"What's that?" said Xi Yu in his heart.

I saw a black shadow in the distance flying quickly thinking about flying here, no, not flying, it was sticking to the grass and swimming quickly. Just now, he was still at the foot of the far mountain, and he was stunned for a moment. Xi Yu felt that he was about to suffocate, and his scalp and back were numb.

A big black snake, nearly twenty meters long, bucket-thick, with a triangular head, blood-red eyes flashing with an indifferent light, and the black-red letter kept swallowing. The motlet did not feel the wind that came so quickly, as if it had been there all along, and all the snakes avoided it at all, and did not dare to approach it at all.

Poisonous snakes, Xi Yu knew that it was definitely a poisonous snake, not a python. The pitch-black snake was still staring at Yu Wenao who was playing the flute indifferently, and his tail was twitching in the air with the sound of the flute, making a loud "pop" sound, but the strange thing was that it couldn't suppress the sound of the flute at all.

Xi Yu finally turned his attention from the big snake to Yu Wen Ao's body, only to see Yu Wen Ao playing with his eyes closed and relaxed, but Xi Yu still noticed that his temples left crystal beads of sweat. Suddenly, the sound of the flute became urgent, and the big snake began to struggle away, and its slender and powerful tail continued to whip like a whip, and the snakes fled for their lives.

Yu Wenao opened his eyes, revealing a terrifying divine light, staring at the big snake tightly. The big snake began to writhe and struggle as if it had been put into boiling water, and if you looked closely, you could see that the scales were trembling uncontrollably. However, although the serpent seemed to be in pain, it did not attack anything, not even a tree.

The sound of the flute became harsh, and Xi Yu covered his ears tightly, staring at Yu Wenao who was strolling and thinking about the big snake walking past with big eyes.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Nine steps, Xi Yu silently counted Yuwen Ao's steps in his heart. Finally stood next to the head of the big snake, and now the big snake no longer has the majesty just now, and its whole body is like falling apart and slumping on the ground softly, and even the body that was crossed at the beginning was weakly dispersed. Yu Wenao blew a soothing tune, slowly bent down, and slowly approached the big triangular head of the big snake.

Xi Yu actually saw a miraculous scene, and the flute began to emit a crimson light, slowly covering the snake's body. After another five minutes, the red light finally completely enveloped the big snake, and in the blink of an eye, the big snake disappeared, leaving only Yu Wenao, who was sitting on the ground and panting.

Xi Yu felt that the control of his body was back in his hands, first moved his fingers slightly, then moved his neck, and then began to frantically shake his numb arm, and jumped and jumped a little funny.

"Stinky boy, stop bouncing. Come and help me up. Yu Wenao looked at the Xi Yu who was constantly jumping there and shouted dissatisfiedly.

Xi Yu was taken aback, quickly stopped, and slowly walked towards Yu Wenao's side. Xi Yu's eyes were full of fear, and Yuwen Ao's weirdness made him feel a little cold unconsciously, the kind of cold that rose from the bottom of his heart. walked to Yu Wenao's side and gently helped him up, but fortunately, the warmth from Yu Wenao's body gradually relaxed a lot.

"Uncle Ao, where is the big black snake just now?" asked the squirrel weakly.

"Okay, don't ask anything, come here after twelve o'clock tonight. Remember, you can't tell anyone about this, including your old immortal grandfather, remember?" Yu Wenao said to Xi Yu with a cold expression. The look was so frightened that Xi Yu trembled a little, and weakly replied that he remembered it, and then took the flute handed over by Yu Wenao.

Just as he was about to take the flute back to his waist, he threw it on the ground, and his eyes were full of fear. It turned out that he saw that the flute was wrapped around the big black snake just now, as if it was painted.

"Hmph, you are so timid, I really don't know that this is what that stinky old man taught you for a few years. Pick up the flute, and I'll throw you into the snake pile when I find out if you dare to throw it on the ground. Yu Wenao gritted his teeth, as if he was about to eat people.

Picking up the flute, Xi Yan carefully inserted it into his waist, and when he looked up, he had disappeared from Yuwen Ao. Xi Yu felt like he had a nightmare, but the sight of the mess and the smell of fish in the air reminded him that it was all real, not a dream.

I don't know if it's like this, but I see that my grandfather hasn't come back yet. ran back to the house, sat on the kang and gently took out the flute, first closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes to observe this very magical bamboo flute in Yuwenao's hands. I saw that the one-and-a-half-foot-long bamboo flute was still the same withered yellow as before, but now there was a pitch-black snake wrapped around the entire flute pipe. The appearance of the snake is exactly the same as the big snake I saw, and I don't know how it got up, as if it was carved on it, and there is no trace of it when you touch it with your hands, and it is still the same as the original flute. Xi Yu looked at the black snake that looked like it was alive and was a little frightened, his snake would suddenly burst out of the flute, and it would not be a problem for that snake to eat seven or eight of his kind. Looking at the flute over and over again, I finally found a few small red words on the tail of the flute, which is also the tail of the black snake, if you don't pay attention to it, you will definitely not find it.

"Snake Exorcist Flute?" began to murmur the three words.

It turned out to be a snake repellent, Xi Yu remembered hearing it from the mouth of the old man in the village before, and the legend said that there was a very mysterious snake repellent that could control all the snakes for him to drive, and the murder of people was invisible. Thinking of Yu Wenao's miraculous snake repellent technique today, Xi Yu couldn't help but yearn for a while.

Hide the flute carefully, he doesn't want his grandfather to see what the flute looks like now, maybe he will be beaten. After the afternoon, he finally waited until dark, and the xie slept on the kang and counted the time. He was pretending to be asleep, and he was still thinking about going to see the mysterious Yuwen Ao tonight. But his grandfather sat on the threshold of the door again and smoked his cigarette pouch, and the sound of the smoke filled the room with the smell of tobacco.

Yu Wenxiao looked at his grandson's small body on the kang head, flashing a loving gaze. The child was brought up by him since he was a child, and their relationship is also very deep. Just thinking of this child's background, Yu Wenxiao's eyes showed raging anger, and suddenly he felt a trace of cold breath, and turned his head to look at Xi Yu's clothes. Gently walked over and took out the bamboo flute he gave to Xi Yu from the pile of Xi Yu's clothes, and saw the black snake pattern on the flute, his eyes shrank and flashed a red light, and the snake eye on the snake head of the flute also flashed a faint red light.

Yu Wenxiao chuckled, gently put down the flute, and put Xi Yu's clothes back in place. Looking at the Xi Yu who pretended to be asleep, he had a playful smile on his face, and sat on the threshold again and smoked a cigarette. The kung fu of a bag of cigarettes passed in a while, Yu Wenxiao put down the cigarette pouch and walked to a small wooden bed opposite the kang and lay down with the clothes and fell asleep, and after a while, there was a snoring sound.

Xi Yu secretly turned his head to look at his sleeping grandfather, and then lay down again, counting the time in his heart. For a while, the old man's snoring came out of the house, and it seemed quiet.

The moon is very big and round tonight, and it shines brightly in the mountains. You can see your own shadow when you stand outside, and the woods outside the village are still the insects and birds of the past, showing the harmony of nature.

The xiyu on the kang opened his eyes and sat up, his grandfather's snoring continued. Dressed lightly, holding a flute in one hand and shoes in the other, he tiptoed out of the house. But he didn't notice that the grandfather who was lying on the bed behind him opened his eyes and quietly watched him walk out, but after Xi Yu completely walked away, Yuwen Xiao sighed, turned over and really fell asleep.

The moths ran softly into the daytime woods by the moonlight, muttering incessantly as they ran.

"The body is strong and the demons are avoided, and the body is strong and the demons are avoided...... he heard from the elders in the village that the half-sized children have the strongest fire, and the ordinary ghosts and evil things dare not get close, so he keeps muttering and running towards the woods.

As he entered the woods, he slowed down, looking around and walking towards the large rock where he had been hiding during the day. It was dark all around, after all, it was in the woods, and the dense leaves of the summer shaded the moonlight, and the birdsong from time to time seemed eerie to the whole woods.

Finally arrived behind the stone, Xi Yu didn't dare to go directly, first hid behind the stone and looked at the place where Yu Wenao was standing in the day. There was a bonfire lit there, and a man in rags and a mantle sat by the fire, roasting the flesh of an unknown bird and drinking wine.

It was Yu Wenao, Xi Yu's heart was put down, and he walked towards the fire. Yuwen Ao, who heard the footsteps, did not look back, as if he already knew who it was.

"Hehe, you're pretty careful. But the courage is not bad, it didn't scare you, and you dared to come to this dark forest so late. Not bad, not bad. ”

Yu Wenao seemed to be very happy, instead of the cold and cold appearance during the day, now he seemed a little lazy and lazy, like when he was pretending to be crazy, but Xi Wei heard his voice very good, it was the voice of a real man.

"That Uncle Ao, what did you do when you asked me to come?" Xi Yu sat by the fire, and the temperature of the fire dispelled the cold in Xi Yan's heart, and the whole person relaxed at once.

"Boy, tell me how well you have practiced the Heavenly Tyrant Skill?" Yu Wenao turned the branch with bird meat intently, and asked Xi Yu in a light tone.

When Xi Yu heard Yu Wen Ao's inexplicable words, he looked at Yu Wen Ao curiously and said, "Uncle Ao, what is the Deception Skill? ”

Yuwen Ao was stunned at first when he saw Xi Yu's reaction, and then frowned in displeasure. He grabbed the squid with one hand, pulled it in front of him and whispered "sit down", and then pressed his right hand on the squid's back.

Xi Yan, who was a little scared, suddenly felt a spicy hot sensation on his back, and then a scorching air current-like thing began to swim in his body, and it began to slowly dissipate when he walked all over his limbs and returned to his small stomach.

"This stubborn old man is still as stinky and hard as before?" Yu Wenao scolded in a low voice.

Xi Yu could tell that he was scolding his grandfather, and he was about to open his mouth when he heard Yu Wenao's words again.

"Boy, listen to me now, I'll recite the Batiangong mantra to you three times, remember that I only recite it three times. After three times, you must remember it to me, and not a word can be broken. After speaking, he didn't care about Xi Yu's reaction, and opened his mouth to read it.

Xi Yu hurriedly calmed down and listened carefully to the awkward scriptures that Yuwen was reading, and followed silently in his heart. After Yu Wenao finished reading it once, he didn't pause and started the second and third times.

"How is it, have you memorized it all?" Yu Wenao asked lightly to Xi Yu after reading it three times.

"Uncle Ao, I remember it all. Xi Yu first remembered for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Okay, recite it to me right away. ”

Xi Yu began to recite fluently, in fact, this exercise mantra is not very long, only a short two hundred words. Xi Yan's memory is also very good, and he can already recite it backwards three times.

Hearing Xi Yu memorize it word for word, Yu Wenao nodded and stopped talking. Ignoring the roast and just turning the barbecue, the air filled with an enticing aroma. After a while, Yu Wenao took the barbecue and looked at it, tore off one leg and threw it to Xi Yu, who was about to drool.

The two of them devoured for a while.

"Boy, did your grandfather tell you the story of our village?" After eating, Yu Wenao finally opened his mouth and asked Xi Yu.

Xi Yu shook his head: "Uncle Ao, my grandfather didn't tell me anything. However, I have heard the old people in the village talk about it, saying that our village is the people of the Yuwen family in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and after the defeat of the Yuwen family, the ancestors of our village fled to this deep mountain to live an isolated life, and it is not until now that many young people have come out of the mountains. ”

"Hmph, you're hearing it's all fur. This stubborn old man is really still so stubborn. Yuwen Ao took a sip of wine and continued: "Today I will tell you in detail, our ancestor is actually the son of Yuwen Chengdu, but he is only a concubine, after the defeat he led a group of servants and guests to escape here, and lived an incognito life in the mountains. I know that after the Song Dynasty, the ancestors restored the surname of Yuwen, but they have long been accustomed to living in this mountain wilderness, and they have lost their ambition to compete for the world, so they have lived like this for generations. In this world, the Yuwen family has long been wiped out, and only the bloodline of our family, the real Yuwen family, remains. ”

Yu Wenao seemed to be recalling the scenery of the ancestors in the past, with an intoxicated look on his face, and faintly told Xi Yu about the past that he didn't know.
