The two of them were on full alert, but they heard a "snort" sound behind them, and the wooden plank road leading to the shore was smashed by the giant python with its tail, leaving only the small lake-center pavilion at their feet to accommodate them. Shuangxixi's hand shook, and the tips of the two psychic whips quietly raised, and they were about to explode.

The giant python's nose opened and closed, as if it smelled something, and then slowly moved its body to the front of Shuangxi to smell carefully, and the originally oblong pupils suddenly closed into a line. Strange to say, as soon as it approached, the two psychic whips actually collapsed to the ground, like two small snakes that bowed their heads to their ears.

The psychic whip could originally sense the master's mind, but in front of the giant python, it became so obedient, which was unexpected. She wanted luck to penetrate the double whip, but when she lifted her qi, the true qi in her body did not obey the call, and her whole body was more like being fixed in place, unable to move.

Suddenly, a burst of flames shot out, the giant python's eyes turned, its pupils suddenly dilated into a circle, its mouth opened, four long fangs were exposed, a mouthful of black water sprayed out, and it met with the flame in the air, instantly turned into smoke, and the air was immediately filled with a scorching smell. However, it was Wu Shijiu who saw the danger of Shuangxi and carried the flame palm to preempt the enemy.

was attacked by someone, the giant python was furious, erected its body high, and the snake's head bypassed Shuangxi, and rushed straight to Wu Shijiu behind her.

The speed of this blow was so fast, Wu Shijiu almost didn't have time to blink, and the bloody mouth was already in front of him. His mind flashed, he staggered sideways to avoid the fangs, his left palm was a blade, cutting directly into the snake's body, and his right palm raised his whole body strength and slapped the snake's head violently.

At this time, Wu Shijiu is no longer an ignorant young man who fights a giant python in the desert, coupled with the internal strength of the heart method in the "Hug Xuan Heart Sutra" and the innate twelve ways of borrowing strength, these two palms really have the power to open mountains and crack stones. Although Xiang Liu's skin was rough and thick, and his body was covered with thick scale armor, after receiving these two palms, he was still beaten a few feet away and fell into the water, splashing layers of huge waves.

Seeing that the blow was successful, Wu Shijiu hurriedly stepped in front of Shuangxixi and said, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you hide?" Without waiting for her to answer, his left arm grabbed her waist and held her in his arms, discerning the direction, and jumped towards the shore of the lake with a sigh of anger. This leap is almost ten zhang away, but unfortunately there is still a distance of at least ten zhang from the shore, and the two of them are about to fall into the water when they are exhausted in one breath. In his busy schedule, Wu Shijiu slapped the lake with his other hand, "bang", and hit the water splashing, and with the help of the rebound force, he jumped forward again.

Seeing that it was about to fall on the shore, the giant python suddenly rushed out of the water to block the way, opened its mouth wide and made a "hiss" sound, and then shook in the wind, and the eight pores on both sides of the neck all opened, and suddenly stretched out eight snake heads, each of which opened its bloody mouth, revealing long fangs, and looked particularly mad in the night.

Wu Shijiu's body was in the air and had no way to borrow strength, seeing that the two people were about to be swallowed by the giant python, it was too late to say that it was too fast, and there was a sound of rock knocking in the dark, and a figure flew on the giant python and fought to bite. The python was obviously startled by the sudden attack, and twisted to get rid of it, but was bitten by the dead and shook its head and tail in pain.

The opportunity is between the lightning and flint, Wu Shijiu raised his leg in mid-air is a move "Hurry first come" three consecutive kicks and kicked heavily on the snake's head, and with this force, he flew and jumped with Shuangxi, and it was more than ten zhang away, and landed steadily on the shore. When I looked at Shuangxi again, a pair of wonderful eyes looked at myself in a daze, and the two met for a while, but they experienced a life and death tribulation and escaped, and they couldn't help but look at each other and have the same mind.

It was the first time that Wu Shijiu and Shuangxixi were so close, and the tips of their noses almost touched each other. In the dark, Shuangxixi's bright eyes were all reflections of himself, as if you have me, I have you, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but feel ape, and couldn't help but slowly kiss her on the lips.

Shuangxixi snuggled in Wu Shijiu's arms, smelled the strong masculine aura on his body, only felt soft all over, closed his eyes and was about to kiss him, his lips were about to touch together, and suddenly heard Wu Shijiu shout: "Ah, it's not good, it's Shi Sheng!" She tilted her body, almost standing unsteadily, I really don't know how disappointing it is. Only then did I remember that there were still two strange beasts fighting in the lake.

The originally nervous heart suddenly relaxed, but for some reason it was empty, and it was lost.

It turned out that it was the five-tailed leopard Shisheng who had been by Wu Shijiu's side these days to fight the giant python at the critical moment to protect the owner.

In Zhao Jinggong Temple, before Master Bumo passed away, he entrusted Shi Sheng to Wu Shijiu. This leopard is very humane, never in the crowd with the owner, only at night, will sneak into the owner's room to keep vigil, the next morning quietly left. Along the way, when Wu Shijiu and the fat man walked in the wilderness, they would often summon Shi Sheng to hurry together, but as long as they arrived in a town or village, Shi Sheng would hide his whereabouts in a fun way, so as not to disturb the people.

This night, Shi Sheng went to the master's inn for a few turns, and found that Wu Shijiu and they did not go back, so he smelled the breath all the way and chased over, and happened to meet the master in distress.

In terms of attributes, Xiangliu is water, and Shisheng is restraining with it. Although the giant python was huge, Shi Sheng was biting at the death point of its neck, making it unable to resist. Suddenly, the giant python collected eight snake heads and was about to burrow into the water. If it really goes underwater, Shi Sheng may not be its opponent.

Wu Shijiu rushed to the shore and shouted: "Shi Sheng, come back quickly!"

Shi Sheng was also obedient, and when he heard the call of his master, he jumped back to the shore with a few palm-sized scales in his mouth, thinking that he had just fought with the giant python and tore it off.

The giant python was in pain, and was bitten by a stone, so it plunged into the water, drew a long ripple, and swam towards the center of the lake. Shi Sheng stood at the water's edge, constantly making a "sonorous" cry at the surface of the lake.

At this time, the fat man and Jin Wenji also rushed over when they heard the sound, and when they heard about the scene just now, Jin Wenji groaned: "Xiao Nizi has taken a Xiangliu snake gall, so that beast treats you as the same kind." After a pause, he said: "This Xiangliu is also known as the nine-headed snake, which is cunning by nature, and hermaphroditic, and can transform itself as needed. You have to find a way to get rid of it, otherwise when it gives birth to snake eggs and hatches baby snakes, it will really harm the world. ”

Wu Shijiu looked at Shuangxixi: "The python was so close to you just now, why didn't you dodge?"

Shuangxi said: "It's strange to say, as soon as it gets close to me, I don't have any strength in my body for some reason, and I can't even lift my true qi." ”

Jin asked: "You have taken a snake gall bladder, and the toxicity in your body has induced it, which is really dangerous." If it weren't for the little baby to come to the rescue, she would really be buried in the belly of the snake this time. ”

Shuangxixi glanced at Wu Shijiu, and saw that he was looking at him intently, and couldn't help but blush: "Whoever wants him to save it, just give him back my life." ”

Jin Wen smiled and said, "That's it, let go of the children's love first." You still have residual poison in your body, and sooner or later it will attack, and you must take another snake gall bladder to hedge and reconcile. If you encounter that beast again in the future, either you will eat it, or it will eat you. ”

Wu Shijiu stuck out his tongue: "It turns out that you are destined to be a beautiful snake...... Oh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"

Before he finished speaking, he was pinched his arm.

At that moment, the four of them searched along the shore of the lake, and Shi Sheng led the way in front, looking for clues left by the Xiangliu python. When he arrived at the northwest corner of the Broken Cauldron Stream, the grass on the shore turned scorched yellow for some reason, and there was still a black liquid hanging on the blades of grass. However, it was bitten by Shi Sheng, and I am afraid that it will have to find a place to hide and recuperate. ”

The four of them looked from a distance, and saw that where Xiangliu passed, a scorched path was burned out of the grass, which was winding and stretching for several miles. The fat man said: "It's bad, if this beast meets ordinary people......"

"We have to speed up our pace, lest it hurt the innocent again." ”

As they continued to move forward, they saw that scorched yellow trail was either in the grass or on the flat ground, and sometimes it burrowed into the mountains and forests, but it never stopped. Along the way, several houses collapsed, and the captive livestock disappeared, thinking that they were attacked by the giant python and swallowed before they could escape for their lives. Wu Shijiu said hatefully: "This beast crawls so fast, we are always one step late. ”

The four of them all quickened their pace, and later, the traces of the giant python only meandered forward in the dense forest, and after calculation, it was not enough to escape for a hundred miles. The four of them were puzzled, wondering where it was going.

Running all the way, the four of them were all going hand in hand at the beginning, and after more than 100 miles, their respective feet gradually improved. After several years of experience, Wu Shijiu is young and strong, and his skills have gradually increased, and he is at the forefront. Although Jin Wenji is over 100 years old and his qi and blood are declining, his internal strength is exquisite, his breath is long, and he knows how to distribute physical energy, and he walks side by side with Shuangxi. The fat man was a little fat, and he began to wheezing after running out of a hundred miles, but fortunately, Shi Sheng was human and accompanied him unhurriedly, but he did not fall too far.

After running for more than 400 miles, a big mountain appeared in front of him, and the two big characters "Dangshan" were written on the boundary monument at the foot of the mountain.

Jin Wen smiled and said, "It turns out that when you arrived at the place where Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake Uprising, didn't this beast know that his life was here?"

Wu Shijiu suddenly remembered that there was a record in the history books: Liu Bang escorted the serf laborers to Lishan to repair the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor on the way, passing by Dangshan, and the laborers fled in all directions by taking advantage of the mountain, and only a few dozen people were willing to follow. According to Qin's law, if the number of people who reach the end line is not complete, including Liu Bang, all of them will inevitably die. So the little pavilion chief of the Qin State had a plan, claiming that it was the will of heaven to kill the white snake in his dream, and declared an uprising, and the Han Gaozu beheaded the white snake uprising. This giant python rushed into Dangshan, I don't know if it was a coincidence or some kind of deep meaning?

The fat man panted and said, "Look at the traces, this beast has gone to the top of the mountain, let's ...... Let's do it all ......"

Shuangxixi smiled: "You, usually eat a few bites less, and practice for half an hour more at night, it won't be like this." ”

The fat man snorted angrily: "What's my nickname?"

Shuangxi stuck out his tongue: "I forgot about this, this fat man, please take the first step, so as not to be left too far behind for a while." ”

A few people talked and laughed, and each used light skills to run up the mountain. This time the fat man was even more miserable, he took two steps to rest, and in the end he was sweating profusely and drenched. Shi Sheng saw that he was walking slowly, and he also foraged for food on his own.

Towards the top of the hill, the scorched yellow marks suddenly disappeared, and at the end there was a huge mound overgrown with wild grass, which seemed to have been built by man.

Several people circled around the mound and found that there was a stone tablet in the grass facing south, the stone tablet was very old, and there were some small characters densely engraved on it, and it was vaguely possible to distinguish that there were two large characters engraved in the middle of the mound, and the rest of the fonts were blurred and difficult to read. The crawling trajectory of the willow bypassed the stone monument and burrowed into a huge hole in the back.

Wu Shijiu picked up a pine branch from the ground, felt out the fire fold and lit it, and was just about to go in, but was stopped by Jin Wenji.

"Don't worry, do you know what this place is?"

Wu Shijiu looked at the stone tablet: "I don't know, could it be an ancient tomb?"

Jin asked: "The tomb of the Hidden King is the tomb of Chen Sheng. ”

Wu Shijiu suddenly said: "Ah, I know, the predecessor is talking about Chen Sheng, the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty." ”

"Yes, although Han Gaozu slashed the snake and rebelled against the tyrannical Qin, Chen Sheng was the first person to rise up. Although Chen Sheng was ultimately defeated and killed by traitors, under his influence, responders from all over the world rose up to resist. After Han Gaozu became emperor, he posthumously crowned Chen Sheng as the hidden king and sent someone to guard his tomb. "Historical Records" once classified him as a family, and wrote in a biography: Chen Sheng was buried in the Dang, and he was the hidden king. This is Dangshan, this stone tablet is written on the Hidden King, and there is a chance that this place is the tomb of Chen Sheng. ”

The fat man said: "The captain of the gold school on the rivers and lakes once said: I would rather dig the tombs of the Ten Emperors than touch the tomb of the Hidden King." Since ancient times, the people have respected this uprising leader very much, especially his sentence that the prince and the prince will be like Xiangning, and he has cast the temperament of many heroes in the rivers and lakes. ”

Jin Wenjian patted the stele and sighed: "I didn't expect that the tomb of the Hidden King would be so dilapidated that it would become a snake's nest. Emperor Wu of Wei once sent Qiu Zhonglang to dig up the tomb of the Han King in Dangshan to raise military funds, and I don't know if the tomb of the Hidden King was looted by his black hands. ”

Wu Shijiu said: "In the era I live in, some people like to write stories about the tomb robbery of the golden captain, and many people love to watch it. Seeing that the three of them looked at him in surprise, they hurriedly said, "Maybe...... Maybe people are always curious about mysterious things. ”

Jin Wenjian shook his head and said, "It turns out that people thousands of years later have such different preferences from us. ”

Wu Shijiu still wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't know where to start, and he was speechless for a while. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Shuangxi said: "Let's not talk about that, let's think about how to get that giant python out? ”

As soon as the words fell, a large net suddenly fell from the sky, covering the four of them.
