Chapter 137: A Dead Man (1)
For gluttonous snakes, the beginning of a new life always means the end of an old life.
As the pink egg broke through its shell, a well-behaved little snake head poked its head out with round eyes, looking at the world innocently.
Qiu Fang knew that this was the new life born by the Snake King, on the other hand, the Snake King on the side, with the passage of time, the original huge torso gradually shrank, and gradually, there was only a thin skin bag left, and the black scale armor that was once covered with the snake body also turned into a pile of powder, and only the empty huge snake skin could still vaguely see the shadow of the snake king.
"It's dead." Ah Yu said in a low voice.
Qiu Fang didn't know that the gluttonous snake had passed away, he didn't pay attention to Ah Yu's words, just lowered his head and looked at the newly born little gluttonous snake, hesitantly stretched out his finger, and gently stroked the little snake's head.
No matter how fierce and vicious the snake is when it grows up, the newborn little life has an innocent face, which makes Qiu Fang a little overflowing with fatherly love, and even wants to hold the little snake in his arms.
However, what surprised him a little was that the adult gluttonous snake was huge and could carry a tripod, and only needed a flick of its tail to knock down a large area of woods, while this newborn little gluttonous snake was the opposite, about three inches long, but the length of a dagger.
"Shhhh Hiss... Hiss..."
Feeling the touch of the autumn boat, the little gluttonous snake who is ignorant of the world gently spit out the letter, making a burst of sound, as if enjoying it, from its round eyes, the autumn boat can know that the little gluttonous snake does not know its own... I don't know if it's my mother or my father, I've passed away for a long time, and I'll never see him again.
Thinking of this, Qiu Fang's heart floated with a strange feeling, although he and the Eighth Prince's family did not have much real family affection at all, after all, he did not have any common memories about their voices, smiles or any common memories in his mind, but from the mouths of Zhou Zong and others, he learned that his fate was also like this little glutton, he had never seen his parents, and in the future, this little gluttonous snake could only hear stories about his parents from other people's mouths.
At this moment, the wind and waves rose again, the peach fragrance overflowed, and unhurriedly poured into the nose of Qiu Fang, the young man looked at the last remaining skin of the gluttonous snake, and then looked at the innocent little gluttonous snake, sighed, and held the little gluttonous snake in his hand.
Seeing this, the little gluttonous snake spit out the snake letter and licked the palm of Qiu Fang, as if he had been extremely accustomed to the smell of Qiu Fang and regarded him as his own relative.
"What are you going to do?" Ah Yu asked out loud again, she had never heard of such a scene, she had never seen it, and she was inevitably a little curious in her heart, she was very curious about how Qiu Fang would deal with this matter.
Qiu Fang pondered for a moment and sighed, "The Snake Lord entrusted it to me, so I naturally want to protect it thoroughly."
"But... According to your uncle's words, the gluttonous snake has a mission here." Ah Yu remembered Xiong Junqi's words that day and said coldly.
This time, Chang Qiufang was stunned for a moment, he looked at the little gluttonous snake writhing in his palm with pity, and fell into deep thought.
"Don't you want to know what the beast is guarding it?" Seeing that the young man was silent, Ah Yu asked again.
Hearing this, Qiu Fang nodded hesitantly, then shook his head abruptly and sighed, "The snake is dead, and the secret treasure may have disappeared with it."
"Then you might as well take a look."
Ah Yu said coldly, Qiu Fang knew what she was referring to, and the small bamboo house she saw when she entered this unique cave just now came to her mind.
After a period of ideological struggle, the young man couldn't hold back his curiosity, and moved his steps to the outside of the peach forest, of course, it wasn't all curiosity, the reason why Qiu Fang moved the idea of finding out, a large part of it was naturally for the little gluttonous snake, only when he knew what the secret was, he could know how the little gluttonous snake should be placed.
The blue bamboo house is located under the cliff, the door of the house is ajar, the window is open, and the breeze brings the fragrant peach fragrance from afar, sweeping through the window, and the whole bamboo forest is particularly quiet.
As soon as he walked into the bamboo forest, Qiu Fang paused, since there is a small bamboo house, it means that someone must have lived here, even if it has just been
After a lot of things happened, there was no movement in this small bamboo house, but it does not mean that there are no people in the house.
"Excuse me, anyone?" The boy stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest and shouted loudly.
Although the door was empty and the window was open, it was obvious that there was a sign of someone, but after Qiu Fang said hello, there was no sound after waiting for a long time.
Qiu Fang frowned and repeated again, the result was still the same, no reply.
"I can feel it, no one." Ah Yu reminded him.
Seeing that Ah Yu said so firmly, Qiu Fang's originally somewhat apprehensive mood was a little more stable, he glanced at the small gluttonous snake in his hand, then gritted his teeth, raised his feet forward without hesitation, and went straight into the small bamboo house.
Inside the bamboo house, there is silence and simplicity, most of the tables, chairs and benches woven with bamboo strips, and there is nothing superfluous other than that.
This is a simple two-bedroom apartment, there is a folding screen in the middle of the separation, Qiu Fang walked a few steps deeper, and then turned his head to look at the folding screen, the painting on the folding screen is a little strange, just a large piece of flowing clouds drawn with a fine brush, the flowing clouds seem to be carved and painted a big snake with a whole body black, the snake head looms in the clouds, and the same hidden in the clouds, there is a ring-shaped object, Qiu Fang does not know what it is.
Looking to the side, a piano table is horizontally behind the screen, and a bamboo bed is placed further back, and at the foot of the bed is a hollow incense ding, which does not reveal light smoke, only a large gray incense ash.
It seems that the worldly masters who live in seclusion here must be in a calm mood, usually only playing the piano and music, and have no other activities.
"Doesn't seem to answer our questions here?" Five
Qiu Fang looked around, but didn't find anything valuable, and shook his head a little unexpectedly, as if he had already made a difference.
Ah Yu didn't answer, if it was normal, she would have told Qiu Fang if she saw something amazing, but her silence had already shown that she was no different from Qiu Fang, and there was no superfluous discovery.
Suddenly, just as Qiu Fang turned around and wanted to leave, the little gluttonous snake he was holding in his hand "hissed" and shouted, and even jumped alive in the palm of the young man's palm, and his mood was quite excited.
"What's wrong?" The boy asked, frowning.
The little gluttonous snake still "hissed" and swallowed the snake letter, and could not understand what Qiu Fang was saying.
Seeing this, Qiu Fang always felt a little surprised by this, so he followed the gaze of the little gluttonous snake.
The thing that makes the little glutton excited is probably this folding screen, Qiu Fang pondered, he knew that the little gluttonous snake was looking at this folding screen and shouted one after another.
Seeing that the little gluttonous snake was so excited, the young man couldn't help but get closer to the folding screen.
"It's your... Parents—" The boy pointed to the black snake on the folding screen and said, after just observing, he probably guessed that the snake painted on the folding screen was a gluttonous snake.
When the little gluttonous snake heard the young man's voice, he rarely tilted his little head to look at Qiu Fang, the expression that seemed to understand was intriguing, and Qiu Fang's brows also relaxed, as if the scene just now made him feel a little relieved.
After all, it is much more difficult to get the alien beasts to understand the human voice.
Just as Qiu Fang showed a light smile, the little gluttonous snake suddenly jumped up and landed under the folding screen, Qiu Fang looked at it, it was trying to stretch out its little head, as if it wanted to reach the gluttonous snake above the folding screen, but no matter how hard it tried, it was still 108,000 miles away.
Seeing this, Qiu Fang smiled, then picked up the little gluttonous snake again and gathered in front of the folding screen, so that the little gluttonous snake could easily reach the gluttonous snake on the top of the folding screen.
With the help of Qiufang, the little gluttonous snake was naturally very happy, and his little head shook with it.
Qiu Fang saw it, and was infected by the sudden happiness of the little gluttonous snake, and his warm smile naturally bloomed more enthusiastically, but it didn't take long for his laughter to stop abruptly.
As the snake hyacinth of the little gluttonous snake came into contact with the big gluttonous snake on the folding screen, the whole small bamboo house suddenly trembled, and several gaps were cracked in the middle of the bamboo that was clearly spliced together, and the two living rooms separated by the folding screen were also raised and lowered respectively, and then there were a few more
Fantasy, as if a room suddenly changed into many rooms.
Qiu Fang stood still, looking at the changes in front of him in a little panic, and couldn't help but ask Ah Yu in a hurry, "What's going on?"
Ah Yu was silent for a while before he slowly spoke, "I don't know."
Seeing that Ah Yu's answer was expected and didn't know three words, Qiu Fang couldn't help but rub his temples, as if he had a headache about it.
At this moment, there were several figures in the illusion, Qiu Fang looked at it, and it was all the same shadows as himself, and every time he blinked, those shadows that were the same as himself also blinked, which was quite peculiar.
Suddenly, the surrounding vibration disappeared, but the scene in front of him failed to return to its original position, and the young man stood motionless, not daring to move around at will, so he had to silently observe everything in front of him, trying to find a way to solve it.
"Gluttonous... Going?" A leisurely, somewhat old voice suddenly sounded, coming from all sides of the autumn boat, and the young man suddenly felt creepy, but he couldn't see anyone else in front of him.
"Dare to ask who your Excellency is?"
Qiu Fang said loudly, he didn't notice the slightest bit of the aura of anyone around him, and guessed that the other party's Taoism must be much higher than his own.
The old voice ignored him, but was silent for a moment and then said, "Oh, the little snake has been born."
With that, the voice laughed heartily again, as if it was quite gratifying.
Qiu Fanghu looked around suspiciously, and opened his mouth again and said, "Who is your Excellency?"
"I... It's just a dead man."
The old voice sounded again, with a hint of banter in its tone.
