Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Green Snake
The beggar sneakily walked to the corner of a remote alley, took out the thing that had just been on Wu Qingtao's body from his arms, and looked at it, and his eyes lit up.
"I'm dripping obediently, so many silver tickets. Haha, Lao Tzu is developed. The beggar trembled with excitement with the silver ticket in his hand.
"Hey, have you seen enough, it's time to pay me back. Wu Qingtao stood at the mouth of the alley, leaning against the wall, holding the Fengyin sword, with a playful smile on his face, completely imitating the appearance of the male protagonist in the TV series.
"I'll go, I'm scared to death. When the beggar was immersed in how to exchange this stack of silver tickets for wine, meat and beautiful women, he was taken aback by Wu Qingtao, and then he saw that he was a personable and extremely obscene man.
"Still, what, I didn't take anything from you. After seeing the main master, the beggar immediately panicked, but immediately reacted, hid the silver ticket behind him, and pretended to be calm.
"Stealing my silver ticket, dare to deny it, believe it or not, I sent you to the government, put you in prison, and suffered a lot of punishment!" Wu Qingtao suddenly shouted, which really startled the beggar.
"Hmph, official, official, that has to talk about evidence! You, do you have evidence? The silver ticket is in my hand, then, that's mine. The beggar was a thief, but he still didn't admit it.
Wu Qingtao was amused by the beggar's appearance, and actually said that whoever is in the hands is whom.
"In that case, then..."Wu Qingtao smiled and walked towards the beggar.
"You, you, you, don't come here, or I'll call someone. The beggar panicked and hurried back.
However, the alley was so big, the beggar took a few steps back and hit the wall, and when Wu Qingtao was only two steps away from the beggar, his body suddenly flickered, as if the whole person had become a phantom, the beggar thought that he was dazzled, and quickly blinked his eyes, and looked fixedly, I don't know when Wu Qingtao had a stack of silver tickets in his hand, and then looked down to see that the beggar's hand was empty.
"I, my silver ticket!" cried the beggar, "what trick did you kid do to deceive me out of my money, pay it back to me, or I'll call someone!"
"Shout, shout a few more, and send them to prison together, so that they can be companions. Wu Qingtao pulled out the wind sword and put it across the beggar's neck.
"Big, the uncle spares his life, the small ones are old, and the little ones are young, so they have to come out to do this kind of thing. If I had been caught, my poor eighty-year-old mother would have no one to take care of her. I also hope that adults will raise their noble hands and let go of a small way to live. The beggar was really scared, the cold breath of the sword came to his face, and the beggar suddenly felt that his neck was cold, for fear that Wu Qingtao's hand would shake, and it would be bad if something went wrong.
"In that case, I ask you a few questions, and if you answer well, you will not only be let go, but you will also be rewarded. How?" Wu Qingtao put away the wind chanting sword and said.
"Is that true?" asked the beggar.
"You don't have any jokes. ”
"Hehe, even if the adults ask questions, the small ones must know everything and say everything. ”
"In that case, do you know who has been in this town lately?" Wu Qingtao asked.
The beggar thought for a moment and said, "Well, in addition to some businessmen, officers and soldiers who have come and gone recently, there have been more people who have fled. It is said that he came from a country called Yunguo, and he came here after being destroyed by the enemy, and he was robbing us of business. ”
Wu Qingtao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said, "Then do you know what the reason is?"
The beggar scratched his head and said, "I don't know this, I'm still hungry, so how can I have time to care about this." ”
Wu Qingtao thought about it, took out some broken silver from his arms and gave it to the beggar, which was a dozen taels of silver, and said: "In the past few days, you have asked me more news from Yunguo, and when the time comes, I will come to you, you tell me the news, and there is a sum of silver for you, understand?"
"Yo, hehe, don't worry, the little one will not let you down. The beggar got the money and hurriedly put it in, for fear that Wu Qingtao would regret it.
"Okay, let me ask you another question, how does Qianlong Yuan go?" Wu Qingtao asked.
"It's about ten miles northwest of the town. However, there are many poisonous snakes in the area, which is very dangerous. The beggar replied.
"You don't have to worry about it, I'm leaving, don't forget what I told you. After that, Wu Qingtao's figure flickered, and this time he really disappeared in front of the beggar.
"I'm obedient, I look so obscene, and I'm still a tall man. The beggar muttered.
In fact, Wu Qingtao used instantaneous steps, combined with his physical strength, and the twenty weeks of cultivation to explode, which was almost all of Wu Qingtao's strength.
The purpose is to fool and scare the beggar, otherwise he will run away after taking the money, and Wu Qingtao has no way for a while.
This kind of inconspicuous little person is best suited to inquire about news without attracting attention.
The affairs of Yunguo were put aside for the time being, and Wu Qingtao still planned to complete the task first and then find a way. Wu Qingtao also knew that the birds and beasts in this world were very different from those on the earth, and many mountain and forest beasts had undergone transformation due to the infiltration of spiritual energy, and some even embarked on the path of cultivation, so Wu Qingtao had to be cautious to avoid any accidents.
After Wu Qingtao got out of the town, he rushed to Qianlong Yuan, only ten miles, with Wu Qingtao's strength, he was already not far from Qianlong Yuan after a while.
Wu Qingtao stopped, planning to take a rest, and then go to the Hidden Dragon Abyss to explore, find the snake and grass, and complete the task.
Although it was less than two miles away from Qianlongyuan, Wu Qingtao heard the sound of the water rushing from there, and the number of snakes in the vicinity had increased significantly.
Wu Qingtao took out the snake repellent made of sulfur and other things and scattered it in the air, so that his body was stained with the smell of snake repellent powder, and continued to move forward.
The further he went, Wu Qingtao began to be attacked by some snakes. Wu Qingtao picked up a wooden stick and kept hitting the overgrown enemy in front of him to drive away the snakes.
Occasionally, a snake is scattered, but the effect is getting smaller and smaller, and there is even a ring-shaped pattern on the body, a colorful poisonous snake regards Wu Qingtao's behavior as a provocation, spitting out a letter, and repeatedly attacking, Wu Qingtao had to pull out a long sword and kill it.
This made Wu Qingtao feel like he had entered a snake's nest, which made people's scalp tingle.
Just when Wu Qingtao slashed seven or eight poisonous snakes in a row, suddenly a green snake burst out from behind Wu Qingtao, like a sharp arrow shot directly, menacing. Wu Qingtao hurriedly took a quick step and dodged very dangerously.
The green snake fell to the ground, but it seemed to be paralyzed, and it remained motionless on the ground.
At this time, many poisonous snakes that were eyeing the green snake fled one after another. This made Wu Qingtao very puzzling.
But this is also a good thing, Wu Qingtao raised his vigilance and carefully observed the green snake. The green snake was more than seven feet long, its head was like a jewel, the scales on its body were a little dull, and there was a wound about five inches long on its abdomen, and blood was constantly oozing out, as if it had been injured by a sharp weapon, and the incision was very neat. It seems to be man-made.
On closer inspection, the snake was still wriggling slowly and was not dead.
Although Wu Qingtao was not a bad person, he didn't recognize this appearance, so he took out a healing pill, grabbed the snake's neck, and threw the pill into the mouth of the snake, letting the green snake swallow it by itself. Then he took out a bottle of medicine powder to stop bleeding, opened it and poured it on the wound, and it was over.
Just after Wu Qingtao finished doing this, three people suddenly came out of the grass and said, "Boy, that green snake is our prey, hurry up and hand it over, otherwise we will cut you!"
