"Where are we going next?" Eiffel Tower asked.

"Go to Chenla (present-day Cambodia), where there is a very famous temple called Angkor Wat, and I will accompany you to see it then." Zheng He enthusiastically introduced.

"Good! I'll go sleep first, and you'll call me when you're there. The tower went back to his room and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Zheng He woke up the tower and told him that Zhenla had arrived.

"So fast?" The tower was stunned.

"Do you know how long you've been asleep?" Zheng He said with a smile.

"How long?"

"For a day and two nights, I really admire you, you can eat and sleep at the same time, this is a blessing!"

The tower smiled, what can you do if you stay on the boat and don't sleep? If something really happens, it's okay if I don't fit my eyes for three days and three nights.

King Chenla held a grand welcome banquet for the Chinese dignitaries. After three rounds of drinking, Zheng He enthusiastically proposed to go to Angkor Wat with the Iron Tower.

The king was originally elated, but when he heard Zheng He's request, his face immediately changed, and he said embarrassedly: "Lord Zheng and the King of the Iron Tower are going to visit Angkor Wat, which is our honor, but Angkor Wat has already ...... It's already ......" said this, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Zheng He was very strange and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

The king sobbed and said: "In the past, Angkor Wat was full of incense, and there were many tourists, and many people came to Chenla to visit there, but just three months ago, a big python came out of nowhere, occupied the temple, and ate several tourists, so that everyone was afraid to go there again." Angkor Wat is now an empty temple, and the two adults are going there, how dare I let you go in danger? ”

"Are you just sitting on the sidelines and not doing a little bit about it?" Zheng He frowned.

"Why not? I once sent a lot of experienced hunters to round up, who knew that the python was very powerful, blowing a burst of poisonous fog to stun the hunters, we had to let it do whatever it wanted. Who knew that this beast had become so bad that it forced us to send a pair of boys and girls every month to it to eat, and I had a headache when I thought about it. ”

Unexpectedly that there was such a tragic thing in the world, the tower couldn't help but be angry, and asked the king sharply: "As the king of a country, don't you feel ashamed to take the lives of your own people?" ”

Zheng He and Lord Wang both smiled bitterly, the King of the Iron Tower is this temper, every time he hears the suffering of innocent people, the sense of justice in his heart will burst out like a volcano in an instant, no matter if you are a king or a general, it will not give you face.

"I don't want to!" The king said sadly, "At first I did not agree, but the python came out to do evil, and killed more than a dozen people at once. It also shamelessly said that this time it was just a small lesson, and that it was already merciful for me to eat only two people a month compared to killing so many people at once. The lesser of two evils, I am also forced to do so! Soon it's going to be the end of the month again, and I don't really know what to do. ”

"I'm sorry, I blamed you. Since this has happened to me, let me solve it for you! "It is the duty to eradicate the iron tower for the people.

The king was moved but also worried, he had also seen the ferocity of the python, the king of the iron tower was the guest of honor of the Zhenla country, if he had any damage, then how could he afford this responsibility? Seeing that he had made up his mind, he had to tell him a thousand times: "That beast is very powerful, you must not be careless." ”

Zheng He comforted: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, with the King of the Iron Tower, even if it is a big trouble, it will help you settle it." ”

The king turned his sorrow into joy, and to tell the truth, for the sake of this damned python, he had not slept a peaceful sleep for several months, and he would have to get drunk today, and he would never get up until three o'clock in the morning until tomorrow.

Three days later, at the end of the month, in the evening the king came to the tower and asked enthusiastically, "How many men will you send to help?" Is 100 people enough? What weapons to bring? ”

The tower smiled: "Just one person will lead the way." ”

"Huh? Are you going alone? The king suspected that something was wrong with his ears, and asked again, "Is there really no need to send help?" ”

"Not really!" Iron Tower confidently said, "You get ready for a late-night snack and wait for me to come back and eat together." ”

The king had no choice but to send an old hunter to take the tower to Angkor Wat, but he was still uneasy.

……

"Uncle, how long do you live?" On the way, the tower greeted the old hunter warmly.

"The old man is eighty years old this year." The old hunter is strong in spirit and tough in body.

"Have you ever seen that python?"

"Why haven't you seen it? Last time I went to round it up with a few old brothers, who knew that the poisonous smoke of this beast was very powerful, and I was the only one who survived among the five people who went with me, alas! Remembering the last tragic battle, the old hunter still had palpitations.

"Don't worry, I'll leave it with no bones this time." The tower said categorically.

In the night, a magnificent and solemn temple appears in front of you, which is the world-famous Angkor Wat. Although the old hunter has experienced a hundred battles, he is still a little flustered at the moment, and said tremblingly: "Great ...... The python is ...... It's in the hall of the Great Hero. ”

"Uncle, go back first! I'll just go alone. Eiffel Tower said.

"You have to be careful, young man." The old hunter turned and walked away, knowing full well that he would only become a burden to others if he stayed here.

The tower strode forward, it was already dark, the moon was hiding somewhere, there was not a single star in the sky, and the leaves on both sides of the road were rustled by the wind, as if to lament: "Another one is dying." ”

Pushing open the broken temple door, a disgusting fishy smell rushed out, the temple was full of dust, cobwebs, the statue of the god fell to the ground crookedly, the lotus throne where the Bodhisattva was originally placed became a huge hole at this moment, a wisp of green smoke wafted out of the hole, no need to think that these smoke must contain poison. The iron tower turned the external breath into the internal breath, and the deadly poisonous smoke had no effect on him, and when he came to the edge of the cave, he saw that a big python thicker than the bucket was coiled in the hole, and the whole body was pitch black, and there was a red crown on the head of the bucket.

Zhenla has a hot climate, lush vegetation, and is an important habitat for the python, which was originally non-venomous, but the crown on the head of this python must have grown for many years, so that it has the ability to spray poison.

The python yawned and opened his eyes, green like two ghost fires, "Today is the end of the month, why hasn't anyone sent me a boy or a girl yet?" These cowardly humans seem to have to teach them a little more before they know how good I am. He roared and slammed his head into the hole, and the stone chips flew and the dust flew up.

The tower picked up the wooden fish on the ground and threw it into the hole, and of course did not forget to remind it: "Open your mouth, it's time for dinner." ”

The beast was accustomed to being served, and as soon as he heard that there was something to eat, he immediately opened his mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth. Hearing only a "whoosh", a wooden fish flew down with a strong wind, like a disemboweled cannonball smashing its teeth.

Although the wooden fish is small and light, but the power of the tower can not be underestimated, the python "whooped" a miserable scream, has smashed off more than a dozen teeth, which can provoke it to anger, "swish" poked its head out, the snake's head stretched out of the hole two or three meters, but there is a large section of the body in the hole, this guy is at least ten meters long.

The tower scoffed, "Is it delicious? ”

The python was annoyed and exclaimed, "Were you teasing me just now?" Since the fragrant and tender boys and girls have not eaten, then I will eat your stupid cow, my biggest advantage is that I am not picky, although your meat is a little rougher, but it doesn't matter if you change the taste occasionally. ”

"Want to eat me? It depends on how many pounds you have. The tower smiled contemptuously, thinking that he had easily killed a forest snake in the Amazon rainforest, and that the little snake in front of him was so small that it was not to be said.

"Even if you have a hard mouth, I won't be able to make you cry later." The python first spewed out a large puff of poisonous smoke, and then rushed out of the hole with great speed, and its seemingly bulky body became extremely flexible at this moment, and it entangled the body of the iron tower in the blink of an eye, which was its tried and tested stunt. "In the past, I would suffocate my prey and swallow it, but you just me off, and I look ugly, so I decided to swallow you alive now in order to avoid looking at you." It tightened its strength as it opened its mouth and swallowed it.

The tower grabbed the python's neck and scolded, "Are you blind? Everyone praised me for my strength, muscularity, and masculine beauty when they saw me, and you were the first to say that I was ugly, you bastard who didn't have long eyes, and you stayed in this dark hole every day, and your mind was full of thoughts about how to harm others, and you deserved to be ignorant. When he scolded, he slapped it and slapped it more than a dozen ear scrapers in a row.

The python's neck was strangled to death, and he couldn't breathe, and he was dizzy and slapped, his eyes were full of stars, and his body slid down softly, slumped on the ground like a broken rope, and those nasty green eyes had turned into a pair of dead fish eyes.

"What? Start playing dead? The tower snorted coldly.

"You...... You're right, I'm blind. The python said in a hoarse voice, "You are the most handsome and beautiful person I have ever met." He uttered all the compliments he could think of, and bowed his head like a pug wagging his tail and begging for mercy.

"Beautiful as a flower? What bullshit! Sycophants are also a science, and you are still far from it! Tie Ta sneered, "If you carry it to the end with Lao Tzu, maybe I will let you die a little more happily, who knows that you are also a soft egg who is greedy for life and afraid of death, thinking that you can survive death by saying a few flattering words?" Tell you, it's wishful thinking! ”

The iron tower stabbed its horns, and the python screamed "ah", and his right eye was immediately blind. The strength of this trick is just right, and I haven't played enough yet! I don't want to kill it so quickly. "Since you're useless to this trick, I'll help you get rid of it." Before the words fell, the iron horn stepped forward again.

The python shook its head and struggled desperately, but where could it hide! Soon the left eye also became a bleeding hole. It was pitch black in front of him, and the python soul was scared, it had never encountered such a powerful opponent in its life, and it wanted to escape from it, but its body couldn't move.

"Your grandmother, since you know you have body odor, don't get so close to me, okay?" Looking at the python under his nose, the tower was so disgusted that he almost vomited out dinner, where did he still have the heart to play again? A horn pierced its skull.

The tower dragged the python out of Angkor Wat, ran more than ten miles to the bottom of a mountain, and threw it like a soft whip against the rock, and the murderous demon turned into a mass of flesh.

"I'm a man of my word, and I said that if you don't have your bones, you must let your bones go away." The attitude of the tower is very resolute. "Huh? Where does the smell come from? He sniffed around with his nose lifted, and immediately became angry, "How long has this guy not taken a shower?" It made me so dirty, it seems that the first thing I did when I went back was to take a shower and put a little more rose petals. ”

……

Zhenla Palace, the king is restless, the king of the tower has gone to the middle of the night and there is no news, could it be that he was eaten by a python?

Zheng He was leisurely drinking tea on the side, and he was too confident in the King of the Iron Tower.

At this time, the guards came in and reported, "The King of the Iron Tower has returned." ”

The king was overjoyed, and ran to the tower in three steps and two steps, and asked impatiently, "You have finally returned, how is the python?" ”

"I came back to see that it was still early, so I took a shower first, but I didn't expect to be too involved in the wash, I forgot that you were still waiting for me, I'm sorry!" The tower shook off the water droplets on his body and beckoned everyone to come over, "Come and smell it, is there any smell?" I washed it three times. ”

Zheng He smiled: "Don't sell it, tell us quickly, what's wrong with that big python?" ”

"It's turned into a pile of manure." The tower said lightly, as if it had just pinched a bed bug to death, "After a few days when the poisonous gas has cleared, people will be cleaned around, and Angkor Wat will be able to reopen." ”

The king was overjoyed, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

On a sunny afternoon, accompanied by the king, the tower took a good visit to Angkor Wat, and the thousand-year-old temple really lived up to its name.

"Bodhisattva bless." At this time, a large group of tourists poured in from outside, kneeling on the ground reverently to burn incense and worship the Buddha. The displaced monks also returned one after another, and Sanskrit chanting surrounded the entire temple. Angkor Wat was full of life again, and the tower smiled happily at the sight of this scene.

The visit was a complete success, and with the gratitude of the people of Chenla to Huaxia, the fleet headed for Siam.
