Chapter 2, Section 40 The Great Serpent
On the way back, You Boyun played with the ancient sword and couldn't put it down, "Brother Lin, what do you think I should give it a name?"
Lin Feng was still thinking about the matter of Hanmu Island, and was a little careless about You Boyun's question. "You take it, it doesn't matter. β
You Boyun's small mouth curled. I listened to Xiao Shengdao: "Or call it Xiuzhu Sword, the slender body, as green as tender bamboo, is very compatible with you." β
You Boyun actually thought that the name was okay, but she still pouted and said, "I still want Brother Lin to name it." β
Lin Feng smiled, couldn't bear to sweep away You Boyun's excitement, and thought for a while: "Its sword body looks simple and elegant, the hilt of the sword is as green as the water in Bitan, and there is a hint of golden light when it dances, I think, how about calling it Hengtan Shenqiu?"
You Boyun clapped his hands, "It's a good Hengtan Shenqiu, it seems that Brother Lin still has some ink in his stomach." β
Lin Feng got this name by chance, and he was quite proud in his heart, but he was modest, "Oh, everywhere, I'm talking nonsense..."
You Boyun smiled: "Oh, hey, Brother Lin is still embarrassed, didn't you talk very energetically in the Thorn Clan just now, hehe, anyway, I'll call it Xiaoqiu in the future." β
"Xiaoqiu... This is too much to say..."Lin Feng was stunned.
"Hmph, I like it. You Boyun said proudly: "Xiaoqiu, you will follow my sister and me in the future, and my sister will protect you." β
Lin Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "It's it that protects you." β
You Boyun said: "No, I am the one who protects you and the two of them." β
Lin Feng had no choice but to say: "Okay, Master Yun'er is the most powerful." β
The three of them talked all the way, and unconsciously returned to the bamboo forest outside Li Xian's thatched house. The two carved stone pillars were still there, but the stone path was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, we're going the wrong way?" You Boyun looked left and right, "I remember it's here." β
Xiao Sheng said: "This is a trick to blind the eyes. β
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the scene in front of me was distorted, and a figure appeared in front of Lin Feng and the three of them, it was Li Ye's mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law!" You Boyun rushed over and grabbed Granny Li's arm aggrievedly, "Mother-in-law, Yun'er almost didn't see you." β
Li Ye patted her hand lovingly and said, "It's okay, my Yun'er is suffering." β
Lin Feng and Xiaosheng hurriedly saluted Granny Li.
Li Xian said: "You are all tired, don't be polite, come with me." β
The four of them walked into the bamboo forest, and Lin Feng suddenly said, "Mother-in-law, is that him?"
Granny Li smiled bitterly: "Hey, after so many years, I still can't let go." β
You Bo Yunqi said: "Mother-in-law, what can't you put down?"
The mother-in-law shook her head and sighed, and only after a long time did she speak, "What is he like now?"
Lin Feng said: "I didn't see it clearly, according to other people, there are blue scales on the body, bone spurs on the tail, and the body is very large. β
"Ahh
"That's not a monster, he's the Gal that my mother-in-law said, you've never seen what a snake looks like, of course you don't know. Lin Feng replied.
"Ah, he's Ga'er!" You Boyun's eyes widened and he looked at Li Ye's mother-in-law in disbelief.
The muscles on Granny Li's face twitched a few times, and she replied with difficulty: "Yes, he is Jia'er..."
"Mother-in-law, didn't you say that he had been sealed by the Great God of Chang Zuo?" You Boyun was surprised: "How could he appear there." β
Granny Li sighed: "Actually, I always knew he was there, but... Hey, the blue scales you see are a symbol of his unbroken path. β
Lin Feng said: "Mother-in-law, you moved here after you found Jia'er, right?"
Granny Li said: "You're right, it's just that his demonic nature hasn't been shed, and I don't dare or have the ability to let him out." All I could do was move closer to him, where I could feel his pulse fluctuations, and I felt a lot more at ease. The mother-in-law paused, frowned, and said, "Recently, I have noticed that Ga'er's veins are becoming more and more restless, and it just so happens that so many flowers have grown on the earth. The flowers only grow and open when the qi of heaven and earth is different, and the color of the flowers that open this time is actually the same dark blue color as when the demonic nature is manifested on Ga'er's body. At first, I thought that perhaps Gal had gathered enough strength to break through the seal. But this time you went to Hanmu Island, and Gar actually appeared directly, and then fell asleep again. So the biggest possibility should not be that Gal broke through the seal himself, but that he was touched by some mysterious force and unconsciously broke out. What did you encounter on Hanmu Island?"
Lin Feng just wanted to answer, but You Boyun jumped out and took Li Xian's hand, and said in a particularly exaggerated manner: "Mother-in-law, you don't know, this time it's really very scary!"
Granny Li looked at her innocent appearance, felt better, and smiled: "Little girl, then you can tell the old woman what happened to you on the island." β
You Boyun saw her mother-in-law smile, and also smiled and said: "Then Yun'er will tell her mother-in-law, it's very thrilling, it's exciting, it's very that..."
"Exceptional. Lin Feng said.
You Boyun shook Lin Feng's eyes, and then told Granny Li Xian what the three of them encountered on Hanmu Island with a little exaggeration. In order to prove that what he said was true, You Boyun also asked Lin Feng from time to time, "Yes, Brother Lin?" "Brother Lin, am I right?" "Brother Lin, I didn't talk nonsense, right?"
Lin Feng had no choice but to agree.
After You Boyun finished speaking, Li Ye fell into deep thought, and it took a long time for her to say to Lin Feng: "Show me that box." β
Lin Feng took out the purple wood box and handed it to Li Xian. Li Xian carefully inspected the appearance of the box, then opened the lid of the box, and gently fanned the smell in the box to his nose with his right hand and smelled it. "There is Fuqi, and there is Fen Leng..."Li Xian said: "I need to think carefully about the other ingredients." β
Lin Feng asked, "Mother-in-law, do you have any clues?"
Li Xian nodded and said, "You go to wash and rest first, and then think about it when the old woman thinks about it." β
So the four of them walked back to Li Xian's thatched hut. Under the service of the Xu Rong people, Lin Feng and the three of them took a hot bath, changed out of the dirty clothes covered with blood stains, ate some hot meals, and slept comfortably on the soft bed in the new bunk.
When You Boyun woke up, it was already past noon, and she gently put on the lifelike clothes that were placed next to the bed, and tied her hair with a wooden hair. "I don't know what Brother Lin is doing now, whether he is already discussing a new task with his mother-in-law. She turned around and picked up the long sword that was placed on the pillow and went straight out of the room.
The sun in the courtyard is very good, all kinds of fruits, vegetables and flowers are bathed in a golden yellow, the breeze is coming, the leaves are gently chirping, everything is so peaceful and peaceful.
You Boyun walked through the courtyard to her mother-in-law's door, the door was ajar, and her mother-in-law's kind voice came from inside: "You are all good children, and the old woman really wants to thank you..."
You Boyun listened to their lively conversation, and was about to push the door in, but retracted his hand again, and first knocked lightly on the door panel with his knuckles.
"Come in, you're still the most generous girl, you can sleep until now. Granny Li's voice had a kind smile in it. You Boyun stuck out his tongue, and then pushed the door and entered the house.
Lin Feng sat beside Li Xian, dressed in capable half-new clothes, his mid-length hair was cut and trimmed, looking fresh and clean, he exuded a confident heroic spirit, but looking at You Boyun's eyes were shining with brilliant starlight.
"Mother-in-law, you don't call Yun'er together. You Boyun saw that Granny Li was in a good mood at this time, so she stepped forward again and said coquettishly: "What did you say just now, is it our new task?"
Li Xian smiled and said, "Yes, Yun girl, where do you want to go to Wang Du and Lan Hai?"
You Boyun said excitedly: "I want to go!"
Li Xian said: "What if you can only choose one?"
You Boyun didn't think about it, and said, "I'll go wherever Brother Lin goes." β
Li Xian said: "The old woman goes to the royal capital, and your brother Lin goes to Lanhai, who are you willing to go with?"
"Of course it is..."You Boyun stopped after saying half a sentence, shook Granny Li's hand and said, "Mother-in-law, don't bring this, this makes Yun'er so embarrassed." β
Li Xian pretended to be angry and said, "You don't want to take care of an old woman with bad legs, are you?"
You Boyun blinked and said, "Of course I'm willing, or we will accompany my mother-in-law to the royal capital first, and then go to Lanhai together, so that everyone can talk and laugh all the way, how happy it is." β
Li Xian said: "It's too late, so I can only choose one." β
You Boyun said: "Mother-in-law, don't you know the kind of pulse technique that can make people come over directly, how can you be too late?"
Li Xian said: "The old woman is greedy, so she has just learned the pulse technique, and it is only convenient to go to the Qian Temple of the Xufu Clan to get things, it has a distance limit, and the farthest can only go to the Xufu Clan." β
You Boyun lowered his head suddenly, looked at Lin Feng with pitiful eyes, and whispered, "Then I'll accompany my mother-in-law to the royal capital..."
Li Xian laughed, "The old woman is used to being quiet alone, or she is not a wicked person, you should go with your brother Lin, or you will be absent-minded at that time, and you may not know who will take care of whom." β
You Boyun's face flushed with a light red, "Mother-in-lawββ, you..."
"It's not too early, let the old woman cook a meal for you and practice it for you. Li Xian said and stood up.
Lin Feng hurriedly got up and said, "Let's come, I'll cook you a few side dishes from our world." β
You Boyun was surprised: "Brother Lin, do you know how to cook?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "You don't know more, how about it, are you willing to try my craft?"
You Boyun clapped his hands and said, "Of course!" Then he turned to Li Xian and said, "Mother-in-law, I'll help Brother Lin, lest he can't do it for half a day and starve your old man." β
Li Xian smiled: "Okay, okay, you can go, the old woman is lazy, I also have to pack my luggage and prepare to prepare." β
"By the way, what about the child?" You Boyun looked left and right, and said, "Hasn't he gotten up yet?"
Li Xian said: "Who is like you lazy cat, it was the old woman who troubled him to send the people of the Xurong clan back." β
You Boyun grinned awkwardly, hurriedly gave Li Xian a salute, and pulled Lin Feng into the courtyard.
As soon as he arrived in the hospital, You Boyun asked Lin Feng: "What is the mission this time?"
Lin Feng asked rhetorically, "Why don't you ask your mother-in-law?"
You Boyun curled his mouth and said, "I just want to ask Brother Lin, if you don't say it, I'm angry." β
Lin Feng smiled: "Are you afraid that your mother-in-law will say that you are a lazy cat, or are you afraid that if you ask too much, your mother-in-law will regret it and let you follow her." β
You Boyun immediately scratched Lin Feng's armpits, and said angrily: "Hmph, don't say what kind of lazy cat I'm on, anyway, I'll follow you, if you talk nonsense, I'll scratch until you beg for mercy." β
Under the sun, You Boyun's face that seemed to be angry became more and more exquisite, Lin Feng saw it in his eyes, the beauty was in his heart, and his mood was relaxed, and he really felt itchy. "Hahahaha, Master spare my life, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore. β
You Boyun didn't stop, "Then you say, what is the mission this time?"
"Hahaha, Yun'er, you stop first, I can't stand it...."
The two laughed for a while before stopping, and Lin Feng briefly told You Boyun about the content of this mission.
"How do you want to reseal Garr?"
Lin Feng plucked two eggplants and said, "Well, the second task given to us by my mother-in-law is to assist her in resealing Jia'er. As for how to seal it, my mother-in-law has her own way, but now we need to find out who is behind this first?"
"Behind the scenes?" You Boyun thought for a moment and said, "What does this mean?"
Lin Feng said: "When we came back from Hanmu Island yesterday, didn't my mother-in-law say that Jia'er was touched by something to get mad, she suspected that someone was behind all this. β
"Ah, someone is manipulating!" You Boyun shouted, "Who can manipulate such a big one... a... That one. β
Lin Feng said: "It's not to manipulate Ga'er, but to let him break through the seal." β
You Boyun said: "But won't that Ga'er break the seal bring disaster?"
Lin Feng said: "Yes, we also hope that this is just speculation. Keyun'er, do you remember the purple wood box I got back?"
You Boyun tilted his head and said, "Remember, didn't you hand it over to your mother-in-law, what's wrong?"
Lin Feng subconsciously looked left and right, and then said, "It's the thing of the alliance king." β
You Boyun said even more curiously: "King of the Alliance, do you mean the King of the Ao Ling League, by the way, he sent someone to arrest you!" You Boyun showed an epiphany expression, but immediately asked again: "But... What does this have to do with him?"
Lin Feng said: "Do you still remember the appearance of Da Harry after eating the contents of this box? It can be described as a demonic hair, my mother-in-law and I suspect that it was this move that touched Jia'er and made Jia'er also have a crazy attack." β
You Boyun said: "You mean, what makes Gar crazy is the things in that box?"
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Mother-in-law said that most of the boxes are filled with pills. If you think about it, Gal didn't come out early or late, but Da Harry started the earthquake not long after he took the medicine. β
You Boyun clapped his hands and said: "Yes, why didn't I expect it, it's really like this, that stinky harry suddenly had an earthquake after taking the medicine, and then Ga'er came out, and then Ga'er and stinky Harry were gone, and the earthquake stopped, right?"
Lin Feng approvingly: "Well, Yun'er is getting smarter and smarter, so if that box is really the property of the King of the Ao Ling League, then he must have nothing to do with this matter." β
When You Boyun heard Lin Feng's praise, he was proud in his heart, and asked again: "By the way, how do you know that the box is the stuff of the King of the Ao Ling League?"
Lin Feng said: "According to my mother-in-law, that box is made of the best purple gold sandalwood in the royal capital, and it is carved with a phoenix black picture. This pattern was reserved for the royal family of Ouling. And the medicine in the box is very complicated, and there are many rare medicinal materials, I am afraid that only the Ao Ling clan in the entire vein world has such strong financial resources and manpower to boil. If you want to use these many manpower and material resources, it is impossible for the king of the Ao Ling League not to know, but he knows but does not stop it, which proves that even if this thing was not done by the king of the alliance himself, then he was also involved. β
You Boyun let out a weak sigh, his eyes were confused for a while, and he asked again after a while: "What if the alliance king doesn't know the true use of this medicine, or... Or was the box snatched by Big Harry?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "That's a good question." The box itself is designed to hold medicine, and this kind of royal utensils is not spread at all, how can Da Harry easily grab it. Besides, I heard from Xiaosheng that this King of the Ao Ling League is very shrewd and capable, and it is basically impossible to say that he does not know the use of drugs. Didn't you just say that he had sent someone to the Xuanyi tribe to arrest me secretly, and now that I think about it, this matter is incredible. β
You Boyun patted his head, "Yes, he also caught you." β
Lin Feng said: "Although I don't know his real intention in doing these things, there must be something strange in this, I'm afraid it has something to do with Jia'er." β
You Boyun said: "But if these are really made by the king of the Ao Ling League, why does he want to let Jia'er out?"
Lin Feng shook his head, "So my mother-in-law has to go to the royal capital on the withered tree in person this time, she has a lot of connections with the Ao Ling royal family, only by finding out who is making trouble behind us, can we really re-seal Jia'er, otherwise it will just be a leak and a waste of effort." β
You Boyun said regretfully: "If only we could go to the royal capital with our mother-in-law." β
Lin Feng smiled: "When you encounter something interesting, you are very excited. β
You Boyun said: "Yes, yes, Brother Lin, think about it, we haven't been to the royal capital yet, this time you can not only visit the royal capital, but also meet the king of the Ao Ling League, and you can also catch the mastermind behind the scenes, hehe, maybe there will be a wonderful fight..."
But the mother-in-law also said that it was too late, and Ga'er could completely break the seal at any time. Lin Feng interrupted You Boyun's delusion, "We need to go to Lanhai to find Jia'er's clothes, and we go to the royal capital, which is a drag on my mother-in-law." β
"Oh...," You Boyun's voice was filled with deep disappointment, "But hasn't Gar already broken the seal?"
Lin Feng said: "Mother-in-law said that Jia'er has fallen into hibernation since that appearance, and it stands to reason that it should be born after breaking through the seal, but it didn't." So the mother-in-law speculated that Ga'er was just physically free, but her mind was still sealed, and she was just accidentally stimulated yesterday. This situation may not even be expected by those behind it. β
"I see, what is that Shuyi we went to find in Lanhai?" You Boyun continued.
Lin Feng said: "The clothes are actually the skin that Ga'er sheds. β
"Oh~~" You Boyun's scalp was a little numb: "How do you shed the skin?"
Lin Feng said: "No, Jia'er itself is a snake, and the snake will molt three to four times a year during its growth, just like taking off its clothes, it will be dirty and torn and cannot be worn, and then the body will grow new skin to replace the old skin." Generally, it will start to fall off from the snake's mouth, then the head, body, and tail, and when the skin is all taken off, it means that the snake has grown again. β
"Oh, yes, it's amazing. You Boyun said: "Then what's the use of us going to find his skin?"
Lin Feng said: "The snake will become very weak a few days before molting, and its eyes will be temporarily blind and fall into a semi-stiff state, and this is the best time to seal Jia'er. If we can find the skin he has recently shed, my mother-in-law will be able to figure out the sweet spot. β
You Boyun said: "Why is the clothes in the sea, shouldn't they go directly to the bottom of the pool on Hanmu Island to find it?"
Lin Feng said: "Granny Li thinks that is too risky, we can't figure out the situation in the depths of the waterhole, and I don't know if it will stimulate Jia'er again." So she said that the way to insurance is to go to the sea. If Gary's body had broken the seal before yesterday, its cloak would have drifted into the sea with the current at the bottom of the pool. Even if it was broken through yesterday, if we were lucky enough, we would soon be able to find Ga'er's peeling in the sea. β
"But the sea is so big, how can we find Jia'er's clothes?" You Boyun said: "Even if we find it, the clothes must be very big, how can we bring them back to my mother-in-law?"
Lin Feng said: "We have to find a way to find it ourselves when we get there, which is also a test for our mother-in-law." As for the clothes, we just need to bring a few samples back. The most important thing is to confirm the location of its molting opening. According to her mother-in-law, Gal is invulnerable, only the position of this opening is his weakness every time he molts, and the position of the opening is different every year when he molts. If you can't seal Gar peacefully, you can only use this weakness to subdue him and then find a way. β
When You Boyun heard this, he was a little excited, "I want to subdue Ga'er!" God, I don't know how fierce the fight is, if I succeed, I can also become a Qiongda warrior." You Boyun thought beautifully, and suddenly asked again: "Oh, by the way, Brother Lin, did you ask your mother-in-law about the monster that attacked our tribe and Sister Bian?"
Lin Feng said: "I asked, my mother-in-law said that it should also be the person behind the scenes, let us be careful, this time she will go to the royal capital to investigate." β
You Boyun said awe-inspiringly: "Okay, I must find out what is behind the scenes and avenge the dead and injured clansmen, then let's hurry up and get on the road." β
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until you eat before you go on the road, and there is still one more thing. Lin Feng said and stopped. You Boyun held a few cucumbers and a nest of cabbage and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Feng said: "This time he will also go with us, but I feel that we still know too little about him." The name of Xiaosheng is definitely not his real name, we don't know anything about his background, and we don't know what purpose he has for following me. β
You Boyun said: "Yes, have you asked your mother-in-law?"
Lin Feng said: "Mother-in-law, she specifically asked about the child, but the child didn't tell the truth, but she coped with it very skillfully. β
You Boyun said, "Then why did the mother-in-law let him go with us?"
Lin Feng said: "My mother-in-law asked him to send the people of the Xurong clan just to discuss this matter with me. The mother-in-law felt that he was not bad in nature, that he was strong enough to survive in the wild, and that he also knew the terrain characters in this world. With him, we can get to the sea faster. But we need to be careful if he behaves unusually..."
"Then I'll take him down with one move!" You Boyun looked eager to try, "Hmph, let him try my Xiaoqiu's power." β
"Xiaoqiu?" Lin Feng didn't react for a while, and then smiled: "We don't need to face each other with swords, even if he has ulterior motives, we have to have real evidence, after all, he saved me twice." It was also thanks to him when we were on Hanmu Island that we were able to defeat Dahari. Therefore, the best strategy is not to eradicate dissidents, but to turn hostility into peace. β
"What is turning hostility into jade?"
"It means turning enemies into friends, and my mother-in-law agrees with that. β
"Oh, yes, my mother-in-law is right, hehe. β
