"That's a story passed down from my grandfather's generation..."

Lao Mura took a sip of wine, his cloudy eyes with a hint of memory, and his voice became low.

"It is rumored that there is a demon hidden in this mountain, he has the head of a tiger, the human body, the tongue can turn into a poisonous snake, and he has the ability to charm people's hearts..."

"There was a child named Ah Guang, who went to the back mountain for a trip, and when he came back, he became chattering, and often said that someone was calling his name..."

"Then one day, the people disappeared, and the people of the village went up the mountain in groups, but they searched the whole mountain, and they only found one shoe."

"Some people say that he was eaten by the wolves of the mountains, but more people say that he was eaten alive by the evil spirits of the mountains..."

Zhang Biao frowned slightly, "When did this happen?" ”

Lao Muramasa scratched his head, "Hmm... Listening to my grandfather, it seems to be during the Longxing period. ”

Longxing?

After hearing this, Zhang Biao suddenly lost interest.

Longxing is the name of the third emperor of the Liang Dynasty, and it is only more than 200 years.

The spiritual energy of this heaven and earth declined, although I don't know the specific time, but at least it was a thousand years ago.

It's mostly a strange story made up in the countryside.

Seeing this, the old village smiled dumbly, "It's no wonder that Zhang catches his head, he is all a villager who thinks crankily in his spare time and scares disobedient children." ”

"Xiao Lao'er has heard a lot of these things, some villages are Tiger Auntie, and some villages are Lao Yin people, and they are passed on, but no one has ever seen them."

"Come, come, fill this cup again."

"Thank you Muramasa for your hospitality."

Zhang Biao lost a few more glasses, then got up and said goodbye, "There are still important things to do, so I won't bother." ”

"Yes, yes, official business matters."

After saying goodbye, Zhang Biao went out of the courtyard gate and walked towards the jujube red horse tied outside.

Sudden Rhythm ......

The red horse suddenly became extremely uneasy, and before he could get closer, he struggled hard, and the horse's neck twisted, broke free from the reins, and walked away.

"Brutes looking for a fight!"

Zhang Biao was angry, chased after him, and ran out of the village in a blink of an eye.

And the horse bet on him ten denarii.

If you lose it, you will lose a lot.

Behind him, Lao Cun Zheng, who went out to see him off, was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this to happen.

He shook his head and was about to go back to the house, but saw his grandson standing there stunned, his eyes glazed, his face pale, and cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Hanwa, what's wrong?"

Lao Cunzheng was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, but found that his grandson seemed to be suffering from hysteria, trembling stupidly and not speaking.

The daughter-in-law and grandmother who heard the movement ran out, and the family pinched people and poured ginger soup again, and the little grandson was relieved and cried loudly.

"Hanwa, what happened to you just now?"

After coaxing for a long time, Lao Cun Zheng asked.

Hanwa touched her tears and sobbed: "That uncle just now had a shadow behind him. ”

Lao Cunzheng heard Yan'an and asked: "You must be dazzled, it's okay in the future, don't listen to Lao Litou's messy stories." ”

When the grandson heard this, he began to cry again, and the subsequent words made everyone's faces change greatly.

"The shadow, uhhh

"It's Grandma Wu!"

………………

The autumn wind is bleak and the lead clouds are thick.

The sound of horses' hooves, dust and smoke, accompanied by the neighing of the rhythm, the shadow of the jujube ran farther and farther.

"Damn brute!"

Looking at the distant figure, Zhang Biao stopped, gasped, and scolded a few times.

He has extraordinary foot strength, but how can he catch up with a galloping horse?

Besides, the beast seemed to be mad, and whenever he approached, he accelerated desperately, and was thrown far behind in a few rounds.

"That's it, break the fortune and eliminate the disaster."

At this point, Zhang Biao no longer regretted it, adjusted his breath, turned around and left the official road, and walked towards the mountain behind Tuwan Village.

The main purpose of his visit was to investigate the so-called "Snake Temple".

The story of Lao Muramasa is just an ordinary folk tale, and the old people scare the children after dinner.

However, it is not without its gains.

One is that there are many snakes in the back mountain, Tuwan Village has been bitten, and the experience of the times has been accumulated, and the people in the village will be equipped with snake medicine.

According to the tomb robber Oda said, they found a giant snake statue in the cave, and there are many snakes in this mountain...

Maybe it's related.

One is the Yichonghui, according to the old village Zheng, he is the only foreigner who has appeared recently, and occasionally the villagers go up the mountain to cut wood, but they have not found anything strange.

It shows that the other party is secretly operating, even if it is still on the mountain at the moment, there will not be many people.

The thought in his heart turned, Zhang Biao quickened his pace, and after a while, he came to the back mountain.

It was supposed to be a few hills, but as the river diverted, the wind and sand eroded, creating a rugged terrain.

The forest on the mountain is dense, because autumn has arrived, it looks dry and yellow and verdant, and the eyes are mottled.

Under the barren grass and vines, strange rocks are craggy.

Hiss...

As soon as he entered the mountain, a black snake swam out of the crack in the stone, with a triangular head and pockmarked white markings.

At first glance, it is a poisonous snake.

The serpent was also fierce, and when he saw him, he did not run away, but raised his head and threatened with letters.

Zhang Biao's wrist flipped, and the knife was already out of the sheath.

But as soon as he was about to do it, his heart moved, and his spiritual eye was activated.

Black-veined Iron Head Snake (Fan)

1. Ancient species, widely distributed in various worlds, with black stripes and white spots, and tight scales.

2. Highly poisonous, fierce by nature, and fast.

3. Recently, someone died because of him.

4. There is a remnant of trickery in the bloodline...

Trickery?!

Zhang Biao's eyes suddenly lit up.

His guess was right, there were many snakes here, and it was really related to the monk's inheritance.

can do hands and feet in the bloodline, and I don't know what kind of magic, it will still have an impact after a thousand years.

Recently, he also bit someone to death.

The old village didn't mention it, it shouldn't be a Tuwan villager, could it be a member of the Yichonghui...

Seeing him pondering, the black-veined iron-headed snake seemed to feel provoked, and its entrenched body suddenly flicked, and it turned into a black shadow and rushed straight at him.

Zhang Biao had already prepared, and while retreating sideways, he slashed with a horizontal knife.

In a flash of coldness, the viper had broken in two, but it was dead but not stiff, and it still had its fangs open, spraying venom.

Zhang Biao didn't look at it, and walked along the winding mountain road to the top of the mountain.

There are indeed quite a few snakes here, and they emerge from the grass through the stone crevices from time to time along the way, and some colors even blend in with the surrounding environment.

Even if Zhang Biao has good eyesight, he was almost successfully attacked a few times.

It took half an hour to reach the top of the mountain.

By this time, it was past noon.

The sky was cloudy with lead, and there was no sunlight in sight.

The surrounding mountains and rivers are full of ravines and ravines, meandering, like a wall of nine dragons.

That's why he climbed the mountain.

From the tomb mouse Xiao Tianguchi, they learned that the reason why they were able to find the cave was because the mountain terrain was extraordinary, and it was only because the river was diverted, which destroyed the feng shui.

His master stumbled upon it, and with the attitude of giving it a try, he searched for the dragon point and found the snake temple.

Zhang Biao followed the method asked, first found a hanging boulder, and then pointed forward along the sharp point of the boulder.

Sure enough, there was a sunken mountain, like a dustpan, overgrown with weeds and green trees.

The entrance to the cave is at the bottom of the dustpan.

Zhang Biao looked at the direction, quickly descended the mountain, and arrived at the target area with a stick of incense.

Before he could get closer, he hid in the grass, his eyes sharp, and he watched carefully.

It's quiet, except for the rustle of the trees in the autumn breeze.

But Zhang Biao soon found something strange.

On the way into the woods, many bush branches had been broken, and there were still traces of people being dragged on the grass.

Zhang Biao thoughtfully picked up a stone from the ground, and with a flip of his right hand, the stone flew out.

Rustle...

Ten meters on the opposite side, the stones rolled through the grass, making a lot of movement.

Shout!

A sharp arrow flew and sank into the grass.

Sure enough, there are dark piles!

Zhang Biao was calm and motionless.

After waiting for a long time, a person slowly walked out of the dense forest with a crossbow in hand.

The man, dressed in a night coat, with a stubble on his face and a gloomy gaze, looked around vigilantly before coming to the grass.

He slowly crouched down and looked down to see that the empty door behind him was completely exposed.

But Zhang Biao remained motionless.

The other party was tense and deliberately didn't look around when he squatted, obviously fishing.

Sure enough, another square-faced man in black walked out of the dense forest, shook his head and said, "Lao Wan, you are too careful, where will anyone come from this barren mountain and wild mountains." ”

The man in black named Lao Wan got up at this time and said coldly: "The master of the meeting has explained, this matter must not leak the slightest rumor, the rivers and lakes are sinister, be careful." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

The square-faced man responded with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Master Li Xiang, they have been digging for several days, what are they looking for?" ”

"How do I know?"

Lao Wan glanced coldly, "Don't ask too much, your curiosity is too heavy, but you will die." ”

The square-faced man's face suddenly turned red, and he scolded: "What Lao Tzu does, you don't need to talk too much." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the woods, muttering as he walked: "Mom, who is the fart of the wilderness?" ”

At this moment, Zhang Biao suddenly rushed out.

That Lao Wan is also a good player, and when he heard the wind behind him, he didn't check, but rolled forward to avoid it, and then turned around and raised his bow and crossbow.

However, it was already too late.

Zhang Biao held a horizontal knife, his feet seemed to be wading through the mud, his body rushed forward, swaying left and right, avoiding the crossbow arrows at the same time, the knife light and the figure swept at the same time.

Poof!

Behind him, Lao Wan clutched his neck, blood splattered, and he fell to the ground convulsing continuously, his pupils gradually losing focus.

And in front, the man in black with a square face heard the movement, his face changed greatly, and he quickly turned around.

No matter how fast Zhang Biao was, he was still ten meters away from the other party, but he had already prepared.

The left hand of the ecstasy mirror flickered, and the other party suddenly lost his mind.

Although it was only a short moment, Zhang Biao had already jumped into the air, and his right hand shook suddenly.

Whoa......

The soul hook roared out.

Poof!

The tip of the meteor spear in front of him was inserted into the opponent's forehead, and with a tug, the brain and blood splashed everywhere, and the corpse fell to the ground with a thud.

After killing the dark pile, Zhang Biao did not relax his vigilance, and saw that there was no movement in the dense forest, so he slowly stepped forward and wiped off the stain on the head of the soul hook gun with the corpse's clothes.

The entrance to the cave is easy to find.

Even if the other party hides it and covers it with dead branches and vines, the traces of man cannot be hidden.

This is a herringbone mountain crevice, so black that you can't see the depths, just enter the hole, you feel the shade is unusually cool.

Suddenly, Zhang Biao's face changed, he turned around suddenly, looked behind him in disbelief, and touched his neck again.

Just now, I suddenly felt a chill in my neck.

It's like a piece of ice stuck to your skin.

However, there was no one behind him, only the autumn wind blowing, blowing the dead leaves in the clearing.

Mom, this place is a bit wicked...

Zhang Biao scolded secretly, then raised his courage, lightened his steps, and gradually went deeper into the darkness.

At the entrance of the cave, a cloudy wind blows.

The stone walls, which had been dry, became moist, and then gradually condensed with hoarfrost.

Above the hoarfrost,

There was a faint human handprint...
