Chapter 64: Between Life and Death, People Are Greedy
The pharmacists present glanced at each other, and expressed the code words obscurely, and the most authoritative old man laughed and said: "We don't have too many snakes, but we are thinking about whether we can buy the snake flute in Zhang Yuanwai's hand."
If you can bear to sell it to us, we are willing to pay a lot of money! ”
"Oh? The one million taels of silver were paid in one hand and delivered in the other. Zhang Fugui said widely.
"A million taels? We can't get out of this, Zhang Yuanwai, you're not kidding, right? There was a gloom in the old man's eyes.
"Hehe, since you don't have any money, don't think about buying it. And even if you give me a million taels, I'm afraid I won't be blessed with this money, right? Zhang Fugui said with a smile, "In this way, every time you come into the mountain to catch snakes, I will bring a snake flute to attract snakes, and I want 50% of the income each time!" ”
"What? Fifty percent? Someone exclaimed, "Aren't you wishful thinking?" ”
The servants behind the few medicine merchants had already quietly put their hands into their clothes......
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fugui hurriedly grabbed the snake flute and let the five little guys behind him block him, and sneered: "If you don't agree, forget it." Let's go our separate ways. ”
"This ......"
The pharmacists exchanged opinions again and finally agreed.
"Zhang Yuanwai, since this is the case, we promise you that it is. I hope we can cooperate for a long time! ”
"Hehe, that's natural." Zhang Fugui smiled and said: "This mountain is hundreds of miles in radius, among which there are countless poisonous snakes, even if you can't catch them for ten years, there will be endless gold and silver waiting for you in the future."
Did you all bring the guys? These snakes can be sold for a lot of money this time, so let's catch them all! ”
"Okay!"
"Yes!"
Everyone took action and grabbed the stupid snakes into the medicine bags they carried.
……
In the Valley of the Snake King, Bai Lan next to the ancient pond is infiltrating the water moon flute with clear water, which contains the aura in the leylines of the earth, which is increasingly full, and it is the most suitable to protect the water moon flute of the Yin genus.
A flying ant flew down on the shoulder next to his ear, its tentacles flicking to convey something.
Bai Lan's hand in the water paused, took out the flute in the soaking pool, and when he turned around, his vision crossed the ridge and dense forest, crossed the mountains and mountains, and saw the human beings who were putting snakes into the leather bag.
The black ant trembled its transparent wings and left, and Bai Lan also stood up.
……
In the dense forest, the red snake spit out the snake letter and sensed the smell, and was about to pounce, with its two-foot-long body and poisonous fangs, it could kill at least half of the group in front of it.
But the red snake stopped halfway through its pounce, and it shook its head and held back.
Zhang Yuanwai and the pharmacist returned with a full load, with smiles on their faces, but they were all on guard in secret.
Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang followed behind Zhang Fugui to persuade him, but they were beaten away by the little guy.
In desperation, the two could only follow them all the way down the mountain.
The group walked up the mountain for three hours, taking the fastest shortcut trail, and walking the same way back to the mountain, and the descent was often faster than the uphill.
It's just that these more than 20 people have been walking for more than four hours, and the sun is about to go down the mountain, and they haven't walked out of this mountain forest yet.
Zhang Fugui wondered, he rarely went up the mountain, so he turned around and asked Da Zhuang, "Are we lost?" Or are you on the wrong track? Why is it getting dark and not going down yet? Even though it's summer, you can't spend the night in the mountains, right? ”
The pharmacists also felt that something was wrong, and asked Zhang Yuanwai if he deliberately led them to the wrong way.
Zhang Fugui was half dead, he had walked for so long and had not worked in the field for many years, his body had already collapsed, he was already tired and out of breath at this time, and when he heard the words of the pharmacists, he said coldly: "If you think I took the wrong path, you can leave on your own, anyway, maybe there are snake demons in this mountain, if you bump into it and catch it back, then you won't be rich?" ”
The pharmacists' faces fell, and they said angrily, "Who are you cursing?" I ......"
Everyone was making noise, but suddenly they heard the melodious sound of the flute coming from the mountain, which was crisp in the ears and refreshing, like a hundred corpses flowing in the mountains.
Everyone was quiet for a while, and Zhang Dazhuang said: "Someone is playing the flute, let's ask for directions." ”
Er Zhuang was a little hesitant, he always felt that he seemed to have heard this music somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Zhang Fugui felt a little hairy in his heart, this is obviously a flute sound, although it is very pleasant, but where is the person in the deep mountains and old forests who blows the flute?
The pharmacists didn't think so much about it, and they followed to ask for directions.
More than 20 people searched for the sound of the flute and found the person who played the flute.
On a stone step, a man in white sat cross-legged holding a jade-colored long flute, and a pleasant sound came from the flute when his ten fingers were raised.
The sunset is gradually setting, the orange sunset is sprinkled on the white clothes like a light veil, the man's eyebrows and eyes are handsome, the temperament is cold, just sitting there is a scene, like a fairy in the world, people dare not approach.
For a while, everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to step forward and disturb the other party's music.
But Zhang Dazhuang is a sincere person, he stepped forward and said rudely: "This little brother, can you show us the way down the mountain?" ”
Xiao Yin suddenly stopped, and the feeling of elegance disappeared in an instant, and the man in white raised his head to look at everyone.
Everyone was taken aback, and their legs were weak.
Because the man's handsome face had a pair of golden vertical pupils, although it added to his appearance, this strange scene made everyone frightened, for fear that the other party was not human.
The man in white stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of a downhill slope, and said lightly: "The road is there." ”
Everyone looked along the place he pointed, but they saw that the forest was mottled with light at sunset, and there were countless poisonous snakes spitting snake letters coiled together, blocking the way.
Zhang Dazhuang was also taken aback, and stammered: "This... Can this, can you walk through? ”
Bai Lan glanced at him, "Yes." ”
Er Zhuang has been bold since his brain is not stupid, and asked, "What if these poisonous snakes bite us?" ”
Bai Lan smiled, and that face made people want to write it down with a painting. "Snakes have spirits, and the snakes of Yushan are more spiritual, and they will not put your life in danger."
A flash of inspiration flashed in Er Zhuang's mind, and he thought of the fact that he was crawled by a hundred snakes and intact after burying his father that year, and his heart was relieved. But he also instantly recalled that the white-clothed figure standing under the wind and thunder and the top of the mountain was singing, he boldly looked at the person in front of him, and the vague figure in his memory was completely consistent with the person in front of him.
"It's you! It's you! Er Zhuang said excitedly, and knelt down with a puff, "Meet the immortals!" Meet the gods! ”
Everyone looked at him with doubts, and the uneasiness in their hearts disappeared a little with this immortal.
Da Zhuang was stunned for a moment, but was pulled by Erzhuang and knelt down with his clothes, "Big brother, he is the person we saw on the top of the mountain when we sent my father to be buried!" ”
Da Zhuang thought about it, and suddenly remembered it, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to call the immortals.
Bai Lan was amused by the actions of these two mortals, "How do you know that I am an immortal?" ”
Er Zhuang hurriedly said: "Although I couldn't see your face clearly when I met you back then, I can remember that you are probably like this, more than ten years have passed, you still haven't changed at all, what else can you be except a fairy when you are not old?" ”
Bai Lan's slender fingers turned the long flute, turning from the front to the back, he stood on the steps with his hands in his hands and looked down at the two of them: "Heh~ That's also a fate, you go down the mountain." ”
After the second Zhuang and Da Zhuang hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, they walked into the mountain road full of snakes.
The pharmacists nervously watched the two of them walk into the group of snakes, but saw them fall into the gap of the group of snakes step by step, and the group of snakes did not react at all and let them pass unharmed.
They came running one after another and bowed, "Immortals! Immortals, we also have to go down the mountain. ”
Bai Lan swept over the twenty-five people in front of him and sighed, "If you let go of the snakes, the snakes will let you go." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then came to their senses, some people hurriedly put down the skin bag containing the snake on their bodies, and put down none of them, and then kowtowed to Bai Lan a few times, and hurriedly ran down the mountain, sure enough, there was no snake on the snake road to bite him.
Everyone followed suit, put down the snake bag, kowtowed, and ran to the snake path.
This time, someone was bitten by a poisonous snake, screaming miserably and struggling to climb out of the snake, but he was finally drowned in the snake.
The pace of everyone's running suddenly stopped, and they all looked back at Bai Lan.
"As I said, if you let go of the snakes, you'll be fine. He also hid a few snakes in his rucksack. He left the serpent, and the serpent will leave him. ”
This time, many pharmacists no longer dared to hide in the slightest, and took out all the snake bags one after another, and fled down the mountain in fear.
Only Zhang Fugui pondered for a long time, and let his five servants pick up the bags of snakes discarded by the medicine merchant, and then took out the snake flute and blew it.
"Tuk~"
The snake flute sounded, and the snakes on the road did not move.
He panicked, and when he turned around, he saw the golden eyes of the man in white looking at him.
Bai Lan stretched out his hand, and the snake flute in Zhang Fugui's hand flew up and fell into his hand, slowly turning into ashes in his hand.
"You ......" Zhang Fugui looked at the man in white in horror, "You... Immortals, immortals, please let me go, immortals don't kill people, right? ”
Bai Lan chuckled, raised his hand behind his back, and played with the main flute, "You're right, I'm half an immortal, I won't kill you if you call me an immortal." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fugui hurriedly kowtowed and knelt on the ground, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Liuxian!" Thank you, Lord Yanagisen! ”
However, a huge long crimson snake suddenly crawled out from behind Bai Lan, twisted around and gently wrapped around Bai Lan and climbed to the top of his head, then spit out the letter and pounced on Zhang Fugui.
A scream came, and it spread far away in the deep mountains and forests, and it was terrifying.
Bai Lan turned around and didn't look behind him.
On his side, a ghost flickered, and a Yin God dressed in official robes appeared, bent down and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Liu Xian for your kindness, the little god has thanked you for those ignorant mortals." ”
"Since Judge Wang has spoken, I should give you a face. If you come later, these people are afraid that they will not be able to get out of three. ”
"Yes! Be! What Liu Xian said was. If it weren't for these people who would affect the delivery of military supplies, the little gods would never dare to take care of it. ”
Bai Lan didn't delve into this question, but asked, "How is the battle situation on Lord Zhouchenghuang's side?" ”
"Alas, there is no room for optimism." The Wang Judge of the Punishment Division shook his head and said: "The strength of the seven Gu masters of the Seven Gu Sect is all in the middle realm, and the rumored Great Gu Lord has the same heavenly strength as the Holy Emperor. ”
Bai Lan's brows condensed slightly, although the change of dynasty in the world would not have much impact on him, but in comparison, he hoped that the Great Jin could defeat the Seven Gu Sects behind the Yue Kingdom and the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.
Otherwise, the Seven Gu Sect took control of the Jin Kingdom, and Yushan would probably become their place of Gu refining.
Even he may have to give up his foothold and flee to the Demon Continent.
"Then do you want to ask for foreign help?"
"Naturally, there is. The Forgetful Dao Sect in the Twelve Upper Xuanzong, the real person who dreamed of it, is said to use this matter to break through the realm of earth quality and rushed to the battlefield of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.
There are also several real people from the Forgetful Dao Sect who also led their disciples to come to experience and support the battlefield of the Yue Kingdom. But unfortunately, the Fengdu Kingdom does not want our Jin Kingdom to end this war prematurely.
Otherwise, he only needs to forget the Supreme Elder of the Dao Sect, Zihu True Immortal, and everything will be settled. ”
"True Immortals?" Bai Lan asked suspiciously, "Is it the existence of the realm on the Dao Gate?" ”
"Yes, the existence of the realm on the Dao Gate is called a true immortal, the twelve upper Xuanzong have all produced the true immortal predecessors of the upper realm, and the Forgetting Dao Sect is the second largest sect in the upper Xuanzong. That's all for the three major Taizong and the Sword Sect. ”
"Thank you, Judge." Bai Lan thanked him.
Judge Wang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Liu Xian is polite, with your current divine power, it is enough to be compared with ordinary Fuchenghuang." How dare the little god receive it? If Liu Xian is fine, the little god will retire first! ”
"Farewell!"
A gust of wind swept by, and only Bai Lan was left alone.
He turned around, Zhang Fugui's corpse was motionless in the pile of snakes, looking at the frightened face that still had a trace of resentment on it, Bai Lan shook his head.
If this Zhang Fugui lives any longer, sooner or later he will become an existence on the cholera side. Brave and strategic, but ruthless, greedy, extraordinary, if you cultivate the magic skills, you must be the devil, if you are determined to become a place in the world to overlord and scourge the people, such a person still lives with a concern for you, which makes Bai Lan a little uneasy.
Thinking of this, I remembered the snake flute that shook into powder. This thing was originally left by him for the good world, and the little boy knew how to survive for a long time, and his bloodline was passed down from generation to generation.
This thing cannot be used for life, only for survival. The hearts of the world are greedy, the relatives of the world are indifferent, and the cruelty of the mundane is far beyond imagination.
The existence of the snake flute will make people crazy about it, and it is better to destroy it.
If you want to be prosperous and rich, it is useless to ask God, you can only seek yourself. The second child of the Zhang family opened his mind overnight, and his limited intelligence and strong diligence will make the Zhang family's life better and better!
Since then, the snake flute has truly become a legend, leaving a strange story in the world.
Rumors of snake fairies in Yushan also spread, scaring off some merchants who still did not give up, and the Qinan Mountains regained peace.
