Chapter 33: The Serpent King

Since the Wolf Howling Valley is the only way to get out of this deep mountain and dense forest, then only go there, can leave this place earlier, fortunately, there will be less danger, Liu Changsheng followed Liu Baishun all the way through the thorns and thorns, and traveled with difficulty, not thinking in his heart, since the strange face led us to this strange Soul Elimination Valley, where did it go? From the signs of entering the Soul Elimination Valley, from entering the stone gate to the broken wooden door mechanism, it seems that the strange face has not entered the Soul Elimination Valley, from entering the corpse cave to see the skulls of the twenty-six women, and being attacked by the corpse Gu flying insects, they feel that the disappearance of the strange face is really strange, full of magic and magic.

Where exactly is it? There are only two possibilities, one is that they did not enter this valley full of weirdness and death, but had ulterior motives to lure them into this place of death, if so, the strange face is the thinking characteristics of people, and it is very likely that they are pretending to be savages to lure them step by step into this valley of the soul of the valley, that is to say, he has discovered that this valley of the soul is the valley of death, if people go in and have no return, the purpose is still related to the disappearance of Li Jian, and it is related to the password buckle, it is definitely not the work of any wild man, because he heard about the wild man, it does not have the kind of thinking ability of people, and it is not the high intelligence of no one, if the wild man leads them into this valley, they will be able to find its tracks, even the mechanism of the wooden door, the savage can't break it, I'm afraid it has died under the poisoned arrow.

Another possibility, what kind of demon and monster is that strange face, if so, it lives in the dark ancient cave of this Soul Elimination Valley, and the corpse Gu poisonous insects are in the company, colluding with them, and they come out of the Soul Elimination Valley to make a haunt ** people enter the Soul Elimination Valley, and then take people's souls, kill them, and do what they need with the corpse Gu poisonous insects, and enjoy them, even so, there should be human bones left in front of the stone gate or wooden door, but they didn't see it, are they the only ones who enter this valley? They are the only ones who can see that corpse Gu flying worm?

He and Zheng Ming were able to find the missing Li Jian, but they couldn't imagine that they had experienced so many thrills and twists and turns, and so far they had not found a clue about him Li Jian, worried, thinking that the password was detained without a trace, and Li Jian's life and death were unknown, so they were worried about it, and sighed with emotion, and once again thought of Kong Xiujuan's earnest entrustment to him before his death, so far he has not helped her complete her unfulfilled wishes, and when he waits for her, how should he comfort her soul!

He thought hard as he walked, and unconsciously distanced himself from Liu Baishun, and suddenly a snake sprang out of the grass and crossed in front of him, so frightened that he screamed and stopped. He looked at the snake in amazement, it was not so thick and long, but it was very bright green, and it crawled very fast, like flying on grass.

Liu Baishun heard his exclamation, thought something had happened to him, looked back at him in a daze, and asked him what was going on. Liu Changsheng said: "I saw a strange snake ......"

Liu Baishun said: "It is a poisonous snake, judging from its color, people name it Zhuyeqing, and from its crawling speed, it is also named Grass Flying." There are many snakes here, thick, thin, long, short, venomous, non-venomous, of different colors, and some of them are strangely shaped and abnormally changing......"

Zheng Ming said partially: "What kind of voice do you listen to?"

Liu Baishun listened carefully and said: "This is the humming sound made by the snake king, just like the sound made by people pulling a short rope and turning in circles, probably calling a group of snakes to gather here." ”

Liu Changsheng said: "If you are the king of snakes, you must be a thick, long, and extremely harmful snake." ”

Liu Baishun said: "Not necessarily, even the thick, long and big giant python is also a non-venomous snake, although it can harm people, but it is non-poisonous, only relying on its powerful entanglement, it can not only put the prey to death, but also can not be compared with the snake king." The snake king is very powerful, all the snakes are afraid that it is true, if it is said that it is the largest snake, not necessarily, just like people say that the wheat straw is big, and it will eventually be eaten by the cow, although the stone is small, it can hold down a thousand catties on the weighing rod, that is to say, who is the thick and long snake, not the snake king. I heard that the snake king had a fiery red cockscomb on his head, which was very conspicuous, so he was called 'pheasant neck', also called it the cockscomb snake, and the end was so powerful that it was difficult to see. ”

Zheng Ming was shocked and said, "I have seen a lot of snakes crawling this way, let's dare to run quickly." ”

Liu Baishun said confidently: "Don't panic, since they are here to gather, we don't do it, it won't hurt us, just say to others, if you don't commit it, it won't offend you, if you commit it, it will take revenge on you." You see, the snakes are all gathered here, and if we collide with them and block their way, they will surely attack us, so in order to prevent accidents, it is better for us to be cautious, hide in place, and when they have gathered, we will quietly walk away, so as not to disturb them and be attacked by the snakes. ”

They chose a certain high terrain to hide, and saw that there were countless snakes crawling and gathering here, some thick, thin, long, short, slow, fast, and some flying snakes, in various postures and colors, like a world of snakes, which was jaw-dropping. They crawled to a low, hollow place, and they all stretched out the snake's body, and their heads were facing inwards in a circle, motionless, and they greeted the snake king respectfully.

Zheng Ming said: "Why didn't I see the snake king......"

Liu Baishun said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you see that there are still so many snakes gathering here, and after most of them come, the snake king will appear." The snake king called a group of snakes to gather, I only heard the old man say, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes, this is a rare opportunity in a century, and this can give us a feast for our eyes. ”

At this time, from the center of the group of snakes, there is a bright larger snake actually raised its head high, the snake body into an upright and terrifying posture, the fiery red cockscomb on the head is very dazzling, as if standing out from the crowd, different from the crowd, from time to time spit out a long snake letter, making a buzzing sound, so that none of those snakes dare to raise their heads, even the python that is thicker than it, does not dare to raise its head to demonstrate. It is strange that a snake beside it dares to raise its head to it, as if to show its affection to it, and what is even more strange is that there is also something on its snake head, which is not a fiery red cockscomb, but like a human head.

The snake king stood upright, as if observing the gathering of snakes on all sides to worship, to see if there were any snakes that dared to provoke it recklessly, and then coiled together with the beautiful snake with a human head one after another, in order to show their love for each other, inseparable, and then raised his head, spit out snake letters from time to time, and made a buzzing sound, as if to admonish the gathered snakes. The countless snakes that gathered, regardless of their size and color, coiled up their bodies like the snake king, and looked up at the snake king, showing a respectful appearance, listening to the snake king's teachings, so orderly, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that this snake had such rules.

Liu Baishun said: "The one with a cockscomb on the head of the snake is the snake king, which is very rare. It is not only very ferocious, but also spiritual, crawling close to the ground like flying, walking strange like a demon, its poison is incomparable, where it crawls, plants and weeds will die, and spiritual animals will be frightened to give way automatically when they see it, and dare not provoke it. The snake has a head like a human face on its head, the world calls it a beautiful snake, good at change, demagoguery, aiding abuse, may be the spouse of the snake king, so it dares to invite pets in front of the snake king. If you see this snake in the mountains and forests, you can't fight it, you should avoid it, if you kill it, its kind will seek revenge on you.

"It is said that when a man killed one of these snakes in the mountains and forests, his kind chased him for revenge, and wherever he ran, he could not escape the snake's tracking, and chased him to the sky and the earth. He hurried home, told his wife the details, and begged her to save him. His wife told him to jump into the kitchen water tank and hide, then took off the iron pot for cooking and buckled it on the water tank, and he left in a hurry and hid.

"In a moment, the snakes chased the house, and there were crawling snakes all over the yard, some crawling into the house, some crawling into the kitchen, some crawling on the beams, some crawling on the beds and tables in the house...... In short, everywhere there are snakes, long and short, thick and thin, although they are of different colors and patterns, but they are all for one purpose, looking for the person who hurt his kind, but they did not find the person, so they crawled out one after another, and reported to the leading snake. The snake king probably smelled the man's scent, so he crawled into the kitchen, crawled around the water tank, and then crawled away from the kitchen and led the snakes away.

His wife trembled and frightened when the snakes crawled away from the house, and then sighed, thinking that her husband was saved, and escaped the catastrophe, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to uncover the iron pot covered by the water tank, and couldn't help crying bitterly, and collapsed to the ground, it turned out that the husband had died in the water tank, and the water in the water tank was blood-red, and he still did not escape the revenge of the snake king, which shows the spirit and great poison of the snake king. Through this incident, we are told that no matter what creatures we encounter, under the condition of mutual non-aggression, we should coexist peacefully and be benevolent, but we should not be cruel and kill in vain, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses and suffer by ourselves.

"It is said that the snake that the man killed is the incarnation of the little dragon, is the essence of the sun and the moon, painstakingly practiced, along the mountains and rivers dragon vein, and said that it is the snake spirit entrenched in the dragon vein, after cultivating for 800 to 1,000 years to become a king, it can be transformed into a human form, because it is a cold-blooded creature, often cruel and ruthless, mutilating living beings, and causing trouble in the world, but it is not absolute, just like there are good people among bad people, and there are bad people among good people. The white snake and the green snake in the joke are snakes that advocate love in the world, and they do not have the intention of killing the people she loves.

"Most of them are snake spirits in the world, causing the wrath of the heavens, and the legend of sending Lei Gong to kill the demon while it is raining, there is a thunder slash on the mountain, and the snake demon is blown up. Of course, this matter is not strange, it cannot be verified, and it cannot be taken seriously, but if you face this snake, you can't take it lightly. ”

Liu Baishun just stopped, and suddenly, he saw the fiery red cockscomb on the head of the snake king swinging, and the snake body actually stood up straight and spun around, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, spitting out a long snake letter, and making a buzzing sound, as if he had sniffed out something, causing the snakes around him to raise their heads and have the potential to attack.

Liu Changsheng couldn't help but be frightened, and secretly wondered, could it be that the snake king smelled our scent and wanted to lead a group of snakes to attack us?
