After the cloth bag was untied, a huge bamboo leaf green, the color was like jade, coiled on the burlap bag, spitting blood-red letters, two red jade-like snake eyes kept turning, and the slightly scarlet snake tail slapped the bamboo cage.

Steward Song held a jade pendant in his hand, and this jade pendant would react as long as it encountered monsters and spiritual objects, but there was no change after rubbing it for a long time, and he said impatiently, "Hurry up and take it, worthless things can only eat a snake soup." ”

"Sir, this is a spirit snake. Tie Wu suddenly became anxious and shouted in a panic.

The old iron head hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile, "There are a lot of Steward Song, and the countrymen don't know it, so you have a lot of Haihan." As he spoke, he dragged Tie Wu behind him.

Tie Wu was very unwilling, spitting stars flying around, and shouted in his mouth, "I don't know the goods, this is because you don't know the goods, where is there such a big bamboo leaf green, this is clearly a spirit snake." ”

Steward Song was disgusted, and the idea of wanting to drink another bowl of sour plum soup was gone, and he immediately shouted, "Hurry up, finish eating and go on the road." ”

The old iron head hurriedly came up to make amends, this Song steward was generous, and he was also a relatively kind person, and the price of mountain goods was also very fair every time he came to collect them. But Steward Song only felt offended, and he didn't want to deal with this rural villager.

The old iron head cried out with a sad face, "Master steward, you have a lot of them. ”

"Don't say it. Steward Song snorted and went to the carriage angrily, leaving only the old iron head remorseful and glaring at Tie Wu angrily.

Tie Wu was still dissatisfied, and seeing that these guys were leaving their seats to pack their luggage, he kicked over the bamboo cage and scolded angrily, "Bad things, stew snake soup tonight." ”

"Let's go. The old iron head glared at his granddaughter, glared at Tie Wu angrily and scolded, "Don't come to me." Seeing that the people in charge of Song had left, I was even more uncomfortable in my heart.

Chen Jingzhi watched from the side for a long time, and when he saw Tie Wu lifting the bamboo cage, he stepped forward and shouted, "Wait." ”

"What are you going to do?" Tie Wu turned his head and glared, and said angrily, "If you say anything nonsense that God has the virtue of a good life, don't say it again, if you really have such kindness, you will buy the snake." ”

Chen Jingzhi said with a smile, "I also love to eat snake soup, and the nine-pound bamboo leaf green is a little older." ”

Tie Wu instantly became energetic, his face turned cloudy to sunny, and he said happily, "The old snake has chewiness, and it is fresh." ”

Chen Jingzhi sighed twice, "How much silver do you want to sell?"

Tie Wu hesitated, the bamboo leaves are a little bigger and not worth much, far inferior to the mountain wind, the black snake, the five-step snake, the golden snake, the ordinary one foot long A few pennies no one wants, there are many in the mountains. He raised his head, glanced at it secretly from the corner of his eye, and saw that the other party was light and light, so he boldly said, "One or two silver, if it is less, it will not be sold." ”

Chen Jingzhi sneered a few times, and seemed to turn around to leave.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the old iron head couldn't look at it, if such a big snake really became a monster and sold it to others, it would be harmful, and shouted, "Don't be in my tea shed, get out of here." ”

Tie Wu took a sip, and when he saw that Chen Jingzhi was leaving, he immediately shouted, "Eight hundred yuan, it can't be less." ”

"Okay, deal. Chen Jingzhi happily paid the broken silver.

Tie Wu was overjoyed, squinted his eyes and said, "That bamboo cage is five cents, and the burlap bag is two cents." ”

Chen Jingzhi smiled and opened the bamboo cage, and the people around couldn't help but retreat. I saw the big green snake swimming out slowly, and the tip of its nose touched Chen Jingzhi's fingertips, and it was very obedient to wrap around his arm.

"Spirit snake, I'll say it's a spirit snake. Tie Wu was instantly overjoyed and jumped over, "Spirit snake, it's not eight hundred dollars." ”

Chen Jingzhi said with a smile, "Tie Wu, you are terminally ill, and you don't know it yet. ”

"You fart. Tie Wu bared his teeth and roared, "What can I do?" ”

Chen Jingzhi sneered a few times, and Tie Wu had already pounced, but the green snake burst out with a roar, and the snake letter was against Tie Wu's cheek. The snake letter swept the tip of his nose, and Tie Wu's body suddenly froze, frozen in place, in a cold sweat.

The old iron head froze in place, secretly glad in his heart, it was really a spirit snake, and there were endless troubles if such a spirit snake was offended. But when he saw Chen Jingzhi walking to the side of the road and letting the spirit snake go, he couldn't help shouting, "Childe, the spirit snake can't be released, you better take it away." ”

Chen Jing said, "Don't worry, the spirit snake has a spirit, so it will naturally be released back into the mountains and forests, and it will not come back to disturb you in the future." ”

Chen Jingzhi walked straight over, touched Yang Tingqing and went to the carriage with him. He shook his sleeve, and the green snake was already in his sleeve. After the two of them got into the car, the drivers all looked at Chen Jingzhi in surprise.

The coachman was a little timid, and tried to ask, "Chen Gongzi, can you be psychic?" After he asked, several other people in the car looked over in shock, with some fear in their eyes.

"Brother Chen, I didn't know that Brother Chen still had such a ability. Yang Tingqing was still a little surprised in his eyes, and he had always stayed away from the gods and monsters.

"Is that green snake already a spirit?"

Chen Jingzhi responded with a smile, "Everything has spirituality, and that green snake does already have spiritual wisdom. However, if you don't have the ability, you still have to stay away from it and don't take advantage of it. All things have spirits, and there are evils, don't provoke them at will, the way to meet the gods, fox fairies and the like, most of them will kill you. ”

The coachman listened to the hairs standing on end, grinned and said, "Chen Gongzi is right, the gods and strange things are still far away from us grass-headed people. ”

Yang Tingqing also nodded, very much agreeing, humanity and the way of gods and ghosts should go their own way.

In the evening, as the sun sets, the weather becomes dreary, and there are many termites and insects on both sides of the road, and many birds and finches shuttle to catch these flying insects. The coachman worried, "It seems that it is going to rain, there is an inn in front, the price is not expensive, there is a large shop, ten cents a night, a few people can rest and rest." But don't go out at night, the barren mountains and mountains, I don't know what you will encounter. ”

Several people nodded seriously, and let them come out in the wilderness, but they didn't dare. The innkeepers were a middle-aged couple, five big and three thick, and five or six tall hired men. They all came out early, obviously quite familiar with Steward Song's team.

Boss Tong helped Steward Song lead the horse, and said with a smile, "Steward Song, this trip seems to be going very smoothly." ”

"It's all for Lord Fucheng, and the face of the adult is still useful. "Steward Song is quite proud, and the people in the Guangcheng Mansion have to give face wherever they go.

"Come on, come on, Steward Song, I knew that you were passing by today, and the hot soup was ready, leaving you a big courtyard. "Boss Tong invited people inside.

Steward Song glanced at the carriage and horses in front of the door and said, "It seems that business is good today." ”

Boss Tong smiled and said, "It's still the big steward Song who takes care of us haha, they came to me because they saw that it was going to rain, otherwise they would go to the ruined temple a few miles away." You also know that on this rainy day, you always have to stay in a popular place to rest assured. Your yard is still in the east, and my mother-in-law cleaned it up yesterday. ”

Steward Song snorted, and his eyes suddenly stopped on a pine tree not far away, where there was a round white paper. Boss Tong also saw it, slapped his thigh, and pretended to be mysterious, "Lord Steward, even if you have to travel overnight today, I have to persuade you, something strange has happened in the past few days." ”

Chen Jingzhi and Yang Tingqing asked for a room, the room was not big, the furnishings were very simple, and it could even be said to be a little simple. Yang Tingqing touched the futon and found that it was a little damp, but it was also a common thing in the mountains. The thunder outside the window suddenly rose, and the sound of rain came in.

After Yang Ting cleaned his face, he said to Chen Jingzhi, "Brother Chen, you are strong in martial arts, and you are difficult to defeat by a hundred people, do you really have no idea of contributing to the imperial court?" He looked at the other party seriously, Chen Jingzhi shook his head with a smile, he said with pity, "A good man is determined to be in the world, for the country and the people." ”

Chen Jingzhi denied, "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for life, continue to learn for the sake of the saints, and open peace for all generations That is the pursuit of your saints' sacred learning. The world rises and falls, the people are suffering, I am not a disciple of the Holy School, I do not seek to hear about the world, if I can be good to myself, it will not cause you trouble. ”

Yang Tingqing sighed and said, "People with lofty ideals, this is the first to help the world, and they should follow closely and are not willing to be left behind." After finishing speaking, he already understood that it was impossible to persuade Chen Jingzhi, thought for a while and said, "Brother Chen, in just a few days, I have found more and more that only I can learn the articles of the saints, although I can do something, but I can't directly cut the small and punish the demons. ”

Chen Jingzhi looked at it with a straight face, and said in a deep voice, "You have good bones, if you can practice martial arts, you will have something to do, I am willing to teach you." After finishing speaking, he hesitated a little and said, "It's just that the law can't be passed on lightly, if you are not a person from my sect, it may be a disaster to pass on this martial art." If you pass on your ordinary martial arts, it just wastes your talent, I feel uneasy. ”

Yang Tingqing has great talents, and if he can establish deep cause and effect with him, he will definitely be able to solve many difficulties in the future. Just in the future, if you want to build a Dao Palace, no one in the court speaks, no one guarantees, according to the current regulations of the Song Kingdom, it is impossible to move a god position out of thin air.

Yang Tingqing said with a smile, "I know Brother Chen's difficulties, I am willing to worship Brother Chen as a teacher, and I only ask Brother Chen to pass on my martial arts." With that, he got up, took three steps back, and immediately bowed down.

Chen Jingzhi immediately stopped him and said, "You and I are also brothers and friends, how can I be your teacher? ”

Yang Tingqing's eyes lit up, and he still arched his hand, "I've seen senior brother." ”

Chen Jingzhi laughed loudly, and immediately called the shopkeeper to bring wine and meat.
