Chapter 20: Iniquity is in the body, and who can escape
Bai Lan sensed the breath of a human being, and when he came to the canyon, he saw several people flying over the swamp with light skills.
This was the first time he had seen a man in the martial arts, and that middle-aged man gave Bai Lan a sense of threat.
And the pair of men and women seemed to have practiced some kind of combined attack technique, and the power that the two of them combined to burst out was also better than themselves.
As for the thin old man in the back, there were many strange smells mixed with him, and even a certain feeling made Bai Lan feel uneasy.
After much thought, he chose the tactics of the enemy and the enemy.
Bai Lan slowly crawled back into the valley, inhaled the air sacs in his body in one breath, and then dived into the depths of the pool to hide.
……
On the other side, the four of them cautiously walked into the Sky Canyon.
When Old Man Sun stepped into the canyon, he suddenly waved his hand and said, "I feel that someone is secretly watching us!" ”
Ouyang Xue was puzzled: "Could it be the snake king?" ”
"I also have a sense that something did look at us for a while." The owner of the plum village was slightly gloomy.
"Is there a way for Mr. Sun to find the snake king? Or the approximate location, lest we be assassinated on the first line. Mei Yanran asked.
Old man Sun pondered for a moment, walked and stopped among the bushes, sniffing with his nose from time to time, then took out a compass-like thing from his bosom, and took out several powdered substances of different colors from his bosom and mixed them together, and finally took out a drop and dripped it on the compass pointer, and he put away the rest of the strange liquid.
Then Old Man Sun took the compass and turned it around for a full nine turns before stopping.
Ouyang Xue and the others were impatient, and muttered in a low voice: "Pretending to be a ghost." ”
But at this time, Old Man Sun said in a voice: "
A and B are Oriental wood, and the south fire is C Ding,
Wuji central soil, Gengxin West belongs to gold,
Non Gui northern water, the five elements are true,
The phases are orderly, and the attributes are divided into yang and yin.
Decide! ”
The compass's shaking hands instantly froze, pointing to a direction, and that direction was a line of heaven.
Everyone looked at it, and they only felt that the narrow and dark line of sky was very terrifying.
After all, most of humanity's fears come from the unknown. No one knows what kind of terrible snake king is hidden in the canyon.
Old man Sun said, "Let's go, the snake king is behind this canyon." ”
He took the lead in entering the narrow road of the first line, the owner of Mei Zhuang glanced at the two of them and followed into it, Mei Yanran was the third, and after Ouyang Xue broke off, the four of them cautiously broke into it.
Walking into it, the narrow passage is quite damp, after all, it does not see the light all year round, and it is very narrow and pressing, as dark as night.
Seeing this, Mei Yanran took out a fire fold and lit it, and in an instant, a group of perched birds in the sky above the narrow road were alarmed and scattered in all directions, and the sound of fluttering wings spread throughout the valley.
Old man Sun looked at her with a disillusioned expression, and no longer spoke angrily, but only accelerated forward with his own thoughts.
At this moment, hundreds of long snakes suddenly fell on the heads of several people, and because it was impossible to hide in the narrow and dim space, the four of them were full of snakes.
Old man Sun was not afraid at all, only to see the snakes that fell on him running away in disgust.
And the internal force around the owner of the plum village was shocked, and it directly killed several poisonous snakes lying on it.
As for the rest of the two, they didn't feel so good.
Although Mei Yanran drew her sword in time to defend her body and cut off dozens of poisonous snakes, there were too many snakes, a group of snakes were falling on the canyon, snakes also appeared at the foot of the canyon, and even the canyon walls were climbing snakes on both sides. If she was outside the canyon, a second-rate master, she would never be crawled all over her body by snakes, but there was nowhere to hide in the canyon.
Mei Yanran was terrified, and was even bitten by a snake with seven or eight wounds, and was hit by seven or eight kinds of snake venom, she screamed heartbreakingly, but she had no choice but to tear away the snakes that fell on her body one by one.
Her head, clothes, feet, legs, there were slippery snakes everywhere, and even snakes got into her underwear and stuck to her body, the cold touch was the unique feeling of cold-blooded snakes. "Daddy! Father! Save me! Save me! ”
Ouyang Xue was also crawling with snakes, but he was busy taking herbs to prevent and treat snake venom, and he was dressed to protect his whole body, unlike Mei Yanran, who was unclothed because she was a woman, and the snakes crawled to her private parts
The owner of Mei Zhuang palmed the internal power of the Jiuyang Divine Skill to the point that he had just killed the many snakes coiled around his female Yanran, and then picked her up and rushed to the exit of the Heavenly Canyon at a high speed.
100 meters away, but in a short moment he walked out with his daughter in his arms, and almost fell into the pool due to the unstable harvest.
Behind him, the intact old man Sun slowly walked out, and Ouyang Xue finally walked out with a blue face.
"Mr. Sun, save my daughter!" The owner of the plum village exclaimed.
Old man Sun quickly opened the package on his body, then took out eight or nine kinds of bottles and jars for Mei Yanran to take, and then used his unique internal force to swim the veins around the woman's body.
In the end, he pierced Mei Yanran with a golden needle where she was bitten, forcing out a pool of poisonous blood.
Mei Yanran, who had fainted, turned from black to red and became normal.
Old man Sun wiped the sweat from his head, "Fortunately, I am by her side, but if you delay for an hour or two, you will not be saved." ”
The owner of Mei Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a grateful tone: "Thank you Mr. for your help, Mei Tianchao is grateful!" ”
Old man Sun waved his hand, "Even if her life is saved, I am afraid that she will not be able to recover without cultivation in March and May." ”
Master Mei nodded, looked at Ouyang Xue, and said, "Ouyang, how are you?" ”
"Thank you father-in-law for your concern, I'm fine, and I took Mr. Sun's anti-drug powder in advance." Ouyang Xue replied.
"That's fine. Ouyang, you just stay here and guard Yanran. I went to the valley with Mr. Sun to find out! ”
Ouyang Xue nodded yes.
The owner of the plum village carried the old man Sun and directly tread the water and crossed the pond to the inner side of the valley.
Mei Zhuang looked around, only to feel that the silence was terrible.
Old man Sun hurriedly pointed to the huge willow tree and said, "Look, the owner of the village, on the willow tree." ”
The owner of the plum village looked closely, but found that there were traces among the willow trees with lush leaves, as if something had been coiled on the tree for a long time.
"It seems that this snake king often stays on this hundred-year-old willow tree. If it weren't for the bad things of your disciples, the Snake King might be waiting for us here at this moment! Old man Sun said with a little dissatisfaction.
The owner of Mei Zhuang was not angry, and said with a smile: "Mr. Sun, let's find the specific location of this snake king again."
In a few moments, my disciples should also break through to join us. ”
Old man Sun took out the compass again to locate it, and the pointer suddenly pointed from north to south and shook towards the waterhole.
"In this water!" He excitedly.
The owner of the plum village took two steps forward and looked at the waterhole, his brows furrowed: "Mr. Sun, what should we do if this snake king has been hiding in the water?" ”
"Hehe, the owner is also in a hurry at the moment?" Old man Sun smiled: "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own clever plans!" ”
As he spoke, Old Man Sun took out a handful of medicinal powder from the cloth bag and poured it into the pool water, and the medicinal powder dissolved in the waterhole and spread to the deeper part of the pool.
The owner of Mei Zhuang didn't ask much, he finally took out the long sword hanging from his waist, and waited cautiously for the giant snake that might suddenly emerge from the pool water.
"Ah~"
A miserable sound came from outside the valley, a cool breeze blowing from the mountain wind, and the sound of great fear and pain and despair was terrifying.
"Mr. Sun, it seems that there is something wrong with the disciples outside the valley." The owner of the plum village said with an ugly face.
"It shouldn't be." Old Man Sun pondered for a moment and said, "The snake repellent medicine I equipped for your disciples is enough to last two round-trips, and there is no reason to use them up halfway." Unless, unless, there is a beast of prey that is not a snake.
The snake king should come out in a short time, whether to stay here or go back to save your disciple, the owner of the village will decide for himself. ”
"That's it, even if it is a fierce beast, it will not cost the lives of forty or fifty people, or the old man's own chance." Mei Chaotian sighed.
Old man Sun laughed strangely, "That's right, those who become big things are not informal." It's not worth it to give up a lifetime of opportunities for the sake of some master-apprentice feelings.
I'll set it up first, and I'll prepare when the snake king comes out. ”
……
Outside the valley, in the swamp, dozens of disciples of Jiuyang Mountain Villa were terrified, and they scattered and fled one after another, not daring to gather together again.
Because not far in front of him, a disciple was crawling with countless black ants, and ten thousand ants devoured people, that scene was really chilling.
An older disciple shouted, "All junior disciples are scattered, don't gather together, these strange ants can't eat up this swamp even though they are terrifying."
We each kept a distance of one zhang, took Mr. Sun's snake repellent powder, and accelerated towards the opposite bank. ”
All the disciples should claim to be yes.
After seeing the strangeness of this swamp, they all shuddered, and they were very vigilant at the slightest disturbance.
Wearing special waterproof leather cloth shoes, Zhang Mi stepped into the muddy swamp, and as soon as he stepped on it, his legs fell into a small half, causing his vision to be obscured by the extremely high and dense aquatic plants.
Although he is very respectful and loyal to Jiuyang Villa on the surface, but now in this ghostly place, Zhang Mi has no good impression of his owner and master at all. Using them as bait, even if it is not sent to death, will not make people feel more comfortable.
He was walking cautiously, and his eyes flashed when he saw a two- or three-meter-long anaconda swimming towards him.
Zhang Mi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took out the snake repellent powder and sprinkled it around his body, and the anaconda spit out the snake hyacinth and instantly felt a physiological instinct discomfort, and quickly turned his body and walked away.
At this moment, a scream that seemed to be suppressed suddenly came from the front. Zhang Mi hurriedly raised his head and looked.
I saw a huge white python raise its head and its beautiful white body, but it bit a fellow senior brother of Zhang Mi in its mouth, and even that senior brother was swallowed into the stomach by the whole person, leaving only a pair of small half legs left outside the mouth of the snake to struggle violently, and the suppressed scream was made by this senior brother from the mouth of the snake.
The giant python just poked its body out, and disappeared, and disappeared into the dense water and grass with the senior brother who was bound to die.
Zhang Mi only felt that his blood was about to coagulate, and he didn't know who shouted, "Snake King!" It must be the hundred-year-old snake king! ”
The cold pupils, the mysterious scales like jade, the thick body, and the big mouth that can swallow the blood of the whole person reminded Zhang Mi of the rumors of the old man in the village, the python turned into a dragon! This snake king is no longer a mortal snake, but a demon! It is even very likely that it is the snake fairy in the mouth of his grandfather and grandmother!
Zhang Mi was cold, he didn't want to die, he didn't want to die in this wilderness, and he didn't want to die in the mouth of the snake king with a big mouth. Even if he dies, he will die in his hometown, and if he dies, he will let his soul return, so that he will not be a lonely ghost!
"Ah~" Another miserable cry came, and another senior brother disappeared.
Zhang Mi no longer hesitated, he shouted loudly: "Snake Immortal spare his life!" Snake Daxian spares my life, I didn't mean to disturb Daxian's purity, I beg Daxian to let me live! The villain must burn incense at home, please protect the family fairy! ”
The water in front of him was suddenly separated, and a huge giant python poked its head out and looked down at him, Zhang Mi was so frightened that he almost cried out.
But the terrifying snake king actually just glanced at him, spit out the snake hyacinth and sniffed, and then fell into the water again and set off a huge wave.
Zhang Mi escaped death, he was pleasantly surprised, and tears had flowed on his face for some time, "Snake Great Immortal is merciful, villain Zhang Mi will remember your great kindness forever!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and retreated without looking back, and then saw the snakes in the swamp walking away without looking back, Zhang Mi's heart was intertwined with excitement and fear, and the hope of life and the fear of death flipped back and forth in his brain.
Zhang Mi crawled out of the swamp, regardless of the mud on his body and his soaked clothes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times to Nanshan Mountain one after another, and ran out of the mountain without any hesitation, he decided not to go back to Jiuyang Villa, what if he angered Snake Daxian even if he was a first-class master of martial arts?
He decided to go home, a little minion with third-rate skills is destined to be killed by swords and swords in the rivers and lakes, Zhang Mi no longer has a heart to break through the rivers and lakes, and has accumulated more than 100 taels of silver in the sect over the years to go home and be a rich man for a safe life.
Zhang Mi is gone, but not everyone can see it like him, and can abandon his teacher's grace and ignore it.
There were still more than a dozen disciples who were still urging these people to march towards the swamp, but once someone left, this person's heart was scattered.
Another disciple secretly fell at the end of the line, and then learned to learn Zhang Mi to shout and worship the blessing of the Snake Immortal and the forgiveness of the Snake Immortal, and ran away without looking back.
Zhang Ze was shocked and angry when he saw this scene, and he shouted: "Junior brothers, don't have the heart to run away and escape from the battle, these people can only be chased to death by the master by Jiuyang Villa when they go back!"
If today's assistant master obtains a hundred years of snake gall cultivation, then in the future, we will be the heroes of Jiuyang Villa, gold and silver treasures, beautiful wines, fame and fortune, all of them! Whether you are hunted down by the sect or enjoy a rich life, it is all between the year of your junior brothers! ”
Zhang Ze's words really aroused the fighting spirit of many disciples, and they all threatened to move forward fearlessly and help the teacher.
However, the next moment, a huge tongue broke through the water again and bit at Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze was shocked, and hurriedly used his whole body's internal strength to slash at the snake's head with a sword.
Unexpectedly, his sword slashed the head of the snake, but it seemed to be cut on the iron, which shocked his arm numb, and in horror, Zhang Ze continued to go backwards, and his true qi burst out far beyond his own strength, and as soon as his feet stepped on his body, he rolled out and avoided the bite of the giant python.
The giant python sank into the water, and the snake's tail was suddenly thrown out of the water, and it was pumped towards Zhang Ze with a bang.
"Smack~"
Even if Zhang Ze used all his strength to resist, he couldn't withstand the blow and was knocked into the water.
"Senior brother!"
"Big brother!"
Some disciples were anxious about Zhang Ze's safety, but more disciples were already secretly running away.
Let them continue to go to death? Zhang Ze, as a senior brother, was already second-rate in his internal strength, and he still died all of a sudden. Didn't their group of third-rate miscellaneous soldiers go to fill people's stomachs?
"Hulala~"
The crowd fled in all directions, stirring up countless waves in the swampy lake.
But they didn't have that good luck, countless water snakes swarmed up and surrounded the surroundings, and even if these disciples climbed ashore, there would be countless carnivorous ants waiting for them.
This day of Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain is destined to be a day of killing.
