Chapter 16: Snake King Temple
In less than half a day, Ji Bo traveled to a place called Evil Ghost Gorge at the junction of Nachuan and Guizhou.
The Devil's Gorge is hidden between two lofty mountains, surrounded by high cliffs and steep walls on all sides, and is covered by vines, and it does not see the light of day all year round. The terrain is humble and wet, and there are poisonous miasma everywhere, and the colorful mist is steaming and gloomy, reflecting the sun. Between the cliffs and grasses, insects and snakes are running around, and seeing people chasing after them with their heads held high, it is a very sinister place.
Stop in mid-air and look around, and sure enough, on the side of the Evil Ghost Gorge, there is a long ridge in front of the horizon, which is very steep. Knowing that the place he was looking for was in the midst of this mountain, his heart rejoiced. Because it was mentioned in the original book that not only is there an evil sect living in the Evil Ghost Gorge here, but there is also an expert in the righteous path who lives in seclusion somewhere, and this person also knows the mystery of the classics here, just because the origin of the sect has never moved his mind.
Since Ji Bo suffered a big loss in Mangcang Mountain last time, he has become more and more cautious, and he dare not underestimate the people in the right path. For fear that there will be twists and turns in his trip, although this person is not taking care of this thing, but who knows if he will be obstructed because of the origin of the sect, not to mention that he is a famous demon sect patriarch, and in the eyes of the righteous path, he is a person who will never stand on the other.
Because Ji Bo only knew that the collection of books was in the Snake King Temple in the mountains, and he didn't know the exact address, he could only fly in mid-air to find it. However, in order to prevent accidents, the light was deliberately hidden.
But it was lucky, before the search was completed, Ji Bo saw a temple on a wide flat in the mountains and hurriedly lowered the light.
Although the temple is located in a barren mountain, the age is old, most of the wall powder hall tiles are peeled off, but the temple wall and hall words are good, and some have not collapsed. In front of the temple, there are two rows of paulownia trees of general size and thickness, the soil and stone are flat and clean, although it is already in the golden autumn season, there are no residual branches and rotten leaves, as if someone often cleans here. Below Guangping, there are many acres of fields along the hillside, its shape is like gossip, high and low, large and small, the layers are distinct, and the staggered ones are caused. In addition to wheat and beans, there are also rice and dozens of acres of mountain hemp planted in the field, most of which have already matured, and the golden ears are fragrant, which is very a landscape.
Seeing this scene, Ji Bo compared it with the two boxes in the original book, and became more and more sure that this was the case.
In the original book, there are two adults living in the place where the book is hidden, they are sisters and brothers, and many descriptions are basically the same as the scene in front of them, the only difference may be that the original book depicts spring, but at this time it is autumn.
Ji Bo became more and more sure in his heart, and hurriedly flew to the temple, and when he entered the temple gate, he saw that there were two statues of gods in front of the door, and the gold paint had peeled off. Beyond the head gate, there is a large patio. Among them, the sidewalk is made of stone slabs, about one zhang wide and ten zhang long, leading directly to the main hall. The shape of the road is a cross, leading to the side halls on both sides. There are also two rows of paulownia trees planted on both sides of the main road, and it is autumn, and there are occasional fallen leaves. Although the temple is old and dilapidated, it is very tall and majestic. When I looked into the temple again, I saw that the door of the temple was gone. There are no five offerings on the god case, and most of the gods are ruined.
He didn't look much at it, but went straight to the apse. In the second-story hall, the trees, the patio and the first floor are almost the same, but the doors and windows of the apse and the statues of the gods are removed, and only the skeleton of a temple remains, which is similar to the pavilion. There is a huge stone stove inside, on which is placed a large cauldron, and the age is still cast on the edge, but it is a thing of the Song Dynasty march.
There is also a long bluestone case next to the stove, which is furnished with many things used in the kitchen, and the dry animal meat on the column is heavy and drooping. None of these things are many times larger than those used by ordinary people. In addition, there is a god case horizontally on one side, with a bed of linen quilt and a bamboo pillow; On the other side is a bluestone three feet long and eight feet wide, which is very smooth. There was nothing on the stone, only one end of the inside, and there was a piece of jade more than two feet wide and four feet long. The rest also have some farm tools, which are in ancient forms and vary in size.
Ji Bo hurriedly took the piece of jade that was horizontal on the boulder, and held it with his hand, feeling very light, clear and crystalline, and the treasure light was reflected.
Now that the classics have arrived, Ji Bo is also a lot relieved, remembering that there is a golden wire net made of 10,000-year-old golden spiders in the Snake King Temple here, this thing is the best at collecting the true yuan of the alien Inner Dan, and it also has the supreme magic of restraining poisonous insects and Gu things, if you can get it, it is also a treasure.
I remember that in the original book, it was often placed behind the temple gate by the adults and brothers who lived here. When I went to take a look, there was a soft pocket that was red and purple in color, big and large, shaped like a fishing net, and was stretched by a three-pronged branch underneath. It looks non-silky and non-linen, the tentacles are sticky, and the pores are fine and bright. Smell it with your nose, and there is a pungent smell of general fish, knowing that this thing is a gold wire mesh.
All the treasures were taken, and Ji Bo drove away and prepared to return to the mountain.
Suddenly remembered that Situ Ping had not practiced for a long time, his mana was low, and on his last trip to Mangcang Mountain, although he had collected the Wannian Wenyu, he still forgot the Zhu Guo, which was of great benefit to his current practice.
This place is not too far from Mangcang Mountain, so it is better to move the Zhu Guo Lianshu back to Baiman Mountain and keep it as a reward for the disciples.
So he flew to the Lingyu Cliff of Mangcang Mountain, which was the place where he obtained Wen Yu last time and fought with the Green Capsule Fairy.
When I arrived at the Lingyu Cliff, it was already a red sun, the sunset was full, and the tired birds and beasts had all returned to their nests. Although there are still many horses, bears, and orangutans frolicking on the Lingyu Cliff, most of them have already entered the cave that is about 100 zhang wide and ready to rest.
The horses, bears, and orangutans who were playing outside suddenly saw a flash of green light in front of them, and a person appeared, and they immediately exclaimed. When all the bears and orangutans in the cave were driven out, they recognized themselves as their benefactors from some time ago, and they all fell to their knees at the shouts of the chief.
For a while, the horses, bears and orangutans all over the mountain bowed to Ji Bo, and the scene was quite grand.
After a while, he hurriedly welcomed Ji Bo to the cave.
At this time, the bears also found a boulder of the same size as the previous one from somewhere, and still placed it in the center of the cave.
Then the horses, bears and orangutans outside were busy again, searching for mountain fruits all over the mountain. These bears and orangutans were still dexterous, and after the tea fruit, an old orangutan brought a plate of fruit.
When Ji Bo saw that there were still a few vermilion fruits in it, he took it in his hand and asked, "There is a monster where this fruit grows, find someone to lead me there, just to get rid of this evil for you." ”
The old orangutan beside him nodded sadly when he heard the words.
Ji Bo then asked the old orangutan to lead the way.
As the old orangutan crossed a hill and turned behind a cliff. Suddenly, a solitary peak protrudes from a hundred and ten zhang high, and the mountain is full of many unknown strange flowers and fruits. There is a very long and deep stream below the peak, the flowing water is murmuring, and the sound of the spring is deafening. The scenery here was beautiful, but the old orangutan walking in front of him suddenly stopped moving forward, and looked very frightened.
Then the old orangutan suddenly pointed with his front paws to a hole in the stream, and Ji Bo knew that this was the place where the murderous creatures lived. Look at the hole, there are six or seven feet in circumference, black and swarthy, and it seems to be very deep. There is a strange big stone next to the hole, there is a small tree on the stone that is talented and searchable, red like coral, Zhu Gan and green leaves, very clean, the tree bears hundreds of red fruits, this tree is the Zhu fruit tree.
When Ji Bo was about to go to the hole, he saw two points of green light flashing, and in an instant, with a snort, a monster that looked like a monkey but not a monkey appeared, with a body of yellow fur and fine hair, five or six feet long, and two arms longer than the monster's body. The hands are as thin and long as the claws of birds. Draped in blonde hair. Two round eyes with green glitter, as big as copper bells. Turning over and looking up, he jumped down faster than an arrow, roared like a wolf, stretched out two bird claws, rose three or five feet high, and grabbed Ji Bo's head, his body was extremely flexible, as fast as lightning.
I really don't know whether I am alive or dead, and I was about to look for you, so I sent it to the door. Ji Bo didn't dodge, he saw a line of green light flying behind his head, and he flew towards the monster.
Unexpectedly, the monster also knew the opportunity very well, and its actions were like the wind, and when it tilted its body, it actually dodged itself, knowing that it was not good and was ready to escape.
It's a pity that as soon as I turned around, I heard a loud sound, and the green light just now instantly caught up with it, and it circled around the monster. The monster turned into two pieces and fell to the ground and died.
