Chapter Twenty-Four: Fire Python Demon Beast
The man who took the lead suddenly saw many people pouring out of his door, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and even the two men beside him were a little surprised. If it weren't for the person in their arms snorting lightly, they wouldn't have reacted for a long time.
"Fluttershy, rootless, quick, quick......" the man in the lead cries out as the other two men gently lay the bloody man in their arms in front of the hut.
Blood was still pouring out of the wound, and there were several bloody holes in his chest that were gurgling with blood.
Fluttershy picks up some yellow herbs from the basket outside the house and burns them with a fire sickle. The withered yellow herb ignites when it is exposed to fire and turns into a fiery red powder. Fluttershy catches the bowl she was waiting for below, and then runs quickly towards the men.
The lead man reaches out to take the bowl from Fluttershy, and suddenly slams all the powder from the bowl upside down on the injured man's chest. There was a smell of burning, and the man, who had already fainted, screamed loudly, but was awakened by the pain caused by the powder......
The leading man took the bowl, and the fiery powder had turned dark gray, and the wounded man's chest was no longer bleeding. He wiped the sweat from his head and smiled bitterly at the other two men silently.
"What's wrong with Second Uncle, why is he so badly injured, not like the one she was injured when she was collecting medicine!" Fluttershy didn't speak until then, she had been acting calm until now, and now that Second Uncle's wound had stopped bleeding, her face turned pale.
"I was bitten by something that wasn't clean. The leading man sighed, then stood up, and looked at Ling Yun standing in front of the door on the wooden platform: "Who are they?
Fluttershy was about to speak, but Liu Qing had already preemptively said, "Under Liu Qing, the city lord of Wuling City." Lost here with friends, occasionally passing through Guizhuang, begging for forgiveness, and hoping for forgiveness. ”
He was polite and showed the temperament of nobility in his words. As soon as the man heard Liu Qing's name, his face was immediately full of shock. In Xiaqiu Country, the name Liu Qing is still very loud, and almost everyone has heard it.
"It turned out to be Lord Liucheng, what a faux pas. The man bowed and saluted, and the two people behind him were also full of respect, and hurriedly saluted Liu Qing and the four.
Long Yunzhou opened his mouth in surprise, he didn't expect this Liu Qing's reputation to be so big, he came to this barren mountain and old forest, he was still so famous.
After greeting the three of them, they carried the injured man into the room, and everyone sat down. Fluttershy busily takes care of the injured man while the rest of the group sits in the room and chats.
During the conversation, the four people knew that the man at the head was called Zhang Da, and the remaining two were his younger brothers, Zhang San and Zhang Si. And the one who was injured was Zhang Er, who was also their brother.
The four brothers were not born to live in this big mountain, there is a Zhangjia village far away from the three mountains, where their wives and children live. They have been medicine farmers for generations, and they have made a living by collecting medicines, so they built a wooden house in the deep mountains. I only go home once a month, and I usually spend my time in this wooden house.
The four brothers make a living by collecting medicines, leaving Fluttershy to sort through the medicines they collect. Then around a month, they would return to Zhangjia Village with a large number of medicinal herbs. Sell medicinal herbs to pharmacists who come to buy them regularly, and make some money to subsidize the family. After tidying up the family affairs a little, they will go to this deep mountain to be the companion of medicinal herbs.
All four brothers have children, but the other three are still young, and Fluttershy is ingenious and has a natural understanding of medicinal herbs, so the four brothers take Fluttershy with them every time they enter the mountains. Whether it's living or sorting out medicinal herbs, with Fluttershy, the four brothers have a lot easier.
Ling Yun nodded silently, and suddenly said to Zhang Da: "Just now I looked at your brother's wound from a distance, it seems that he was bitten by some snake, right?"
As soon as Ling Yun said this, the other three were all in the same place. They all knew that the people chasing after them had the snake demon under the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Monarch, could it be said that the snake demon had already arrived nearby.
Zhang Da looked at Ling Yun in surprise, nodded and said, "Mr. is really discerning, in a word." Yes, my brother was bitten by a snake!"
When he said this, Zhang San and Zhang Si's faces twitched obviously, as if they were afraid to recall that terrible scene.
Ling Yun looked at Zhang Da solemnly: "Then please tell me one or two, what does that snake look like? This is very important to us, maybe we know the origin of that snake." ”
Zhang Da was even more surprised, he had seen too many strange things in the deep mountains and old forests. Even the mountain spirits and ghosts and the four brothers had seen them, but he had never seen the snake that hurt his brother today. And the handsome young man in front of him with aggressive eyes said that he might know, and Zhang Da couldn't help but say strange in his heart.
"Well, since Mr. wants to know, then I'll tell you about it. Zhang Da coughed, as if he was also afraid to recall that scene, and said softly: "It's not dawn today, and the four of us brothers will go up the mountain to collect medicine." Because there was dew last night, the precious medicinal herbs hidden in the secret place will definitely take advantage of the morning time to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. You must know that medicinal herbs are also spiritual, especially those precious medicinal materials, sometimes smarter than people. ”
Duan Xing nodded: "That's right, the spiritual herbs can move their direction and transform into shapes to protect themselves." So it's also very difficult to get. ”
Zhang Da glanced at Duan Xing and nodded deeply: "Yes, so the four of us brothers got up early in the morning, thinking about whether we could be lucky enough to come across some precious medicinal materials, then this year's birth calculation is solved." ”
Zhang Da suddenly lowered his voice, and seemed to return to the hour before dawn: "The four of us brothers went up the mountain lightly, because we were afraid that people's turbidity would disturb the spirit grass, so we scattered relatively widely, and each used the smell of medicinal herbs to cover up the original body odor, just to confuse those medicinal herbs." ”
"At the top of the mountain, we found a huge reishi. Lingzhi is very common in the mountains, but we have never seen such a big thing in our lives. ”
Zhang Da swallowed his saliva and continued, "We are all very happy, carefully moving towards the Lingzhi. Because the lingzhi in the mountains has long been psychic, they are as fine as monkeys, and if they know that they are in danger, they will immediately burrow into the ground and disappear. If you want to find it again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to climb to the sky. ”
"Just as we were approaching the lingzhi, suddenly a fishy wind hit our faces, followed by a burning sensation. Before the four of us could react to what was going on, we saw a huge snake wrapped around the Lingzhi. It swallowed the lingzhi in one gulp, swallowing it without even chewing it. ”
Zhang Da said with some fear: "At that time, everyone was very angry, and after working hard for a long time, they were preempted by a brute. We carried bows and arrows with us, because we were afraid of encountering wild beasts in the mountains when collecting medicine, so we usually prepared for emergencies. But now it came in handy, and the four of us bent our bows and arrows at the snake almost at the same time, trying to kill it and take the Ganoderma lucidum from its belly. ”
"But, but .............," Zhang widened his eyes in horror.
"But the serpent's body was as hard as armor, and our arrows broke off when they touched its scales. Zhang San swallowed his saliva and said, "It didn't seem to want to pay attention to us, but now it was enraged and ran towards us in the blink of an eye." The second brother was at the front, and he saw the snake passing by the second brother, and then the second brother screamed, and it became like that. ”
All three of them were a little depressed, silently bowed their heads, and never spoke again.
"The snake didn't kill you, it just hurt people and left?" Ling Yun continued to ask.
"No!" Zhang Siurn said angrily, "The snake was just about to come to us, and suddenly he was stunned. It looked at us, turned its head and walked away. To this day, I still remember how terrible the cold light from its eyes was!
"You said you felt a scorching heat when that snake appeared?" Ling Yun narrowed his eyes.
"yes, it's like being roasted by fire. Later, we saw that its tail was completely encased in a fire, an orange fire. Zhang Da said with certainty.
"The Fire Python Demon Beast is the doppelganger of the Snake Demon. Ling Yun sat up straight, his face a little terrifying.
Zhang Da and the three of them were all a little inexplicable, looking at each other. And Long Yunzhou's three of them all widened their eyes, the doppelganger of the snake demon, that means that the snake demon has appeared?
Ling Yun glanced at Long Yunzhou, he had already used his mind reading technique to know what Long Yunzhou was thinking, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, the snake demon has two doppelgangers, and they are not his ontology. It was the essence he had used in his early years of cultivation. It was a demon beast, and the snake demon had cultivated from its body. Therefore, the Fire Python Demon Beast is both the clone of the Snake Demon and its slave!"
"Have we been discovered?". Long Yunzhou was a little nervous, if the snake demon appeared, it would mean that Mei Ruoyu was not far away. That beautiful woman with a vicious heart, he can hide as far as he wants.
"Probably not, but let's get out of here quickly. The appearance of the snake demon's doppelganger means that after they lost their target, the people who were tracking us were already a little anxious, so they would scatter a large net everywhere to find our correct location. Ling Yun said lightly.
"Duan Gongzi. At this time, Fluttershy, who was in the back room, suddenly walked out, she looked at Duan Xing a little anxiously, and said in a sincere tone: "Duan Gongzi, you are an alchemist, can you save my second uncle, he is dying, and our herbs can't save him." I heard that the alchemist can refine different pills, save people and cure diseases, and even fly into the sky to become an immortal, I beg you, save my second uncle. ”
Fluttershy's eyes are moist, and her snow-white face seems to be coated with a layer of red frost, which makes people feel a little pitiful when they look at it.
"Alchemist?" The three elder brothers Zhang also stood up in shock, they looked carefully at this seemingly ordinary teenager, no matter how they looked at it, they didn't look like the kind of alchemist who called for wind and rain.
Seeing Fluttershy crying, Duan Xing's heart suddenly throbbed.
For so many years, he has lived under the cold eyes of others, being abused and bullied, and for the first time in his life, he begged himself to be such a beautiful and heartwarming girl.
What if you are not an alchemist, even if you can only hold a book and fantasize about how to refine medicine. In front of such a beautiful girl, how can you refuse.
"Okay, I'll save him. blurted out, without half a moment's hesitation, Duan Xing stood up violently.
