Chapter 14: The Five-Step Snake of Death
Walking along the "road" that was only one person wide and overgrown with weeds, the top of his head was obscured by the branches and foliage that obscured the sky, and the hanging vines in front of him were more like barriers trying to prevent people from entering.
After walking dozens of steps, the originally slightly gray passage began to brighten up more and more, and it was not until the sunlight that appeared at the end realized that this place had come to an end
But when you look up, the surroundings are still desolate, and the trees grow more closely, as if forming a thick wall made of the force of nature, blocking Li Tiezhu's route again
"Hey, this shabby place is really annoying, then I can only be kind enough to help the villagers open a way!" Li Tiezhu sighed
originally planned to recuperate and accumulate thick hair to experience life as an ordinary mortal, but He Nai hit walls everywhere
As soon as his mind moved, the sleeve robe on his body automatically danced in the wind
The thick aura around him was dragged to him by Li Tiezhu, and the three "tattoos" on his body were shining brightly, penetrating through the placket, and the mysterious lines could also be seen
The originally gentle aura gradually turned into a sword shape, constantly surrounding Li Tiezhu
Immediately, Li Tiezhu was tightly wrapped in sword qi, and the surrounding vegetation was even more dipped into pieces by the harsh sword qi, leaving a large open space full of broken stubble
Li Tiezhu heard the sound of rattling running water on the right side, took a deep breath, stepped heavily on the spot, and the whole person flew out like a cannonball
I don't know how many giant trees and vines have been smashed by the collision, and Li Tiezhu is already standing in the pool below a hanging waterfall
"Well~ yes, it's really suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days, wonderful!" Li Tiezhu admired it with great interest, this mountain is about fifty meters high, and the river flows down from above through ups and downs, like a ladder, until it is more than ten meters high, it is discharged down to form a wide natural barrier.
"According to the routine, each waterfall may contain peerless exercises and long-lost treasures!"
Li Tiezhu said excitedly, and then unfolded his mind to carefully search the inside of this mountain waterfall, but unfortunately, there was nothing but the mountain that was too thick to penetrate
"It's really a disappointment, cut" Li Tiezhu estimated that the kid should be done with the time, so he was about to find Li Huafan's location, but found that there was a plain short-haired girl carrying a basket of herbs washing under the stream
The more Li Tiezhu looked at it, the more familiar he became, could this be the mother-in-law who peeked at me taking a bath yesterday?!
Li Tiezhu suddenly became interested, and gently stepped on the ground to a place that was only a few dozen steps away from the girl who was concentrating on washing medicine, and watched quietly
Now Li Tiezhu really saw her appearance, and although her face was blocked by her fingers before, although she couldn't see clearly, she had a vague beauty.
Now compared to it, Li Tiezhu is constantly amazed, and finally understands what it means to have a coagulated skin! His clear and agile eyes and slightly round face are simply cute!
The faint crimson of willow eyebrows and peach cheeks made Li Tiezhu wonder if he had already put on makeup, which was much more beautiful than the senior sisters in the Sword Feather Sect before!
Looking at that little bit of red lips and white teeth, it seems that he is talking to himself, even if this is a fierce man like Li Tiezhu, he can't stand it!
Li Tiezhu, who was looking energetically, squinted his eyes and saw a snake that was two feet long and half a finger thick, with a triangular head like a red and purple body, was crawling towards the girl with the help of a stone in the troubled times next to the stream!
Just as the little snake was only a few steps away from the girl, it had already opened its two rows of small but very sharp teeth, and the two poisons that attracted more attention were already raised high, and they were about to bite the girl's legs
But by a transparent inch of sword qi, his flying head was nailed to the pebbles
The little snake writhed for tens of seconds, and its body was completely strangled by the sword qi
What surprised Li Tiezhu was that he could still struggle for more than ten seconds after hitting his head, which is probably beyond the scope of ordinary things......
At this time, the girl was disturbed by the sword qi, and when she turned around, she saw Li Tiezhu behind her and exclaimed in a crisp and beautiful voice: "Hooligan!"
Li Tiezhu smiled bitterly and said: "??? is there no mistake, girl, if I didn't save you just now, you would have been bitten by that beast......"
The girl reacted and saw that there was indeed a very strange-looking snake beside her, so she hesitated and said, "Ah...... Thank...... Thank you."
Li Tiezhu couldn't help but be happy when he looked at her face when she even spoke: "Little girl, last time, it was you who peeked at my master taking a bath, why did you say that I was a hooligan?"
"Cause...... Because very few people go to that place to bathe...... Oh...... You're supposed to be an immortal, right?!" The girl lowered her head and explained vaguely, but the immortal suddenly raised her head, and her eyes were full of light
Li Tiezhu took a deep breath to calm down the pounding heartbeat and said secretly: "Who can withstand this, wow? No, the old man is going to fall!"
"Ahem...... I don't know the girl's name or age, can you tell me that I will be a cow and a horse for the girl!" Li Tiezhu coughed and said seriously
"My name is Wang Xiaofang...... Seventeen...... Uhhh......h Why do you want to be a cow and a horse for a little girl?" the girl said with a puzzled expression
"Ah, just give me grass...... No, I just want to repay you!"
Li Tiezhu realized that something was wrong, she might not understand what she was saying, so she had to explain vaguely
"By the way, my name is Li Tiezhu, remember to repay me," Li Tiezhu left such a sentence, and ran quickly towards the stream in three or two steps, and disappeared after a while.
Only the girl's face was full of question marks, but Wang Xiaofang's heart was about to jump out, extremely nervous, just looking at Li Tiezhu's handsome appearance with a spring breeze on his face, he couldn't help but get nervous, and when he saw Li Tiezhu's well-defined muscles and tall body on the riverside yesterday, he couldn't help but have a trace of admiration for this man (nymphomaniac)
"It turns out that he doesn't seem to be that kind of person......"
Li Tiezhu walked along a crooked path across the diameter of a small stream that was not too wide, and saw Li Huafan coming head-on, and he hurried over just now when he heard Li Huafan's shout
"It took you kid so long to solve it?!!" Li Tiezhu asked in a violent voice
"No, I was obviously looking for you just now......" Li Huafan said aggrievedly, and when he heard the movement, he kept calling Li Tiezhu for so long......
"Ahem...... So that's the case, then I'm really wrong to blame you, without further ado, let's hurry up and ......" Before Li Tiezhu finished speaking, he felt a huge pain in his ankle
"!" Li Tiezhu fixed his eyes and saw that it was a vicious-looking red and purple poisonous snake! Wasn't this the one he had just killed!
"Brother the Pillar, your feet have already started to turn black!" Li Huafan exclaimed
Li Tiezhu stiffened his head, quickly leaned over, pinched the snake seven inches with one hand, and pulled it out, holding the snake but was wrapped around his arm
"Brother Zhuzi, it's not good! This is very similar to the five-step snake that my grandfather said! If you are bitten in five steps, you will die! It's just that it hasn't appeared for a long time, and I only saw it when I was a child!" Li Huafan stared at the snake and pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly
"Harm, I'm not panicking......" Li Tiezhu, who had already walked four steps, stopped his left foot that was about to take five steps
"This poison can only be cured by my grandfather!But this is at least a thousand steps away from home!" Li Huafan looked at Li Tiezhu anxiously, he had already taken four steps, and if he took another step, he might be poisoned to death!
Li Tiezhu also sensed this poison and was so poisonous that it was difficult for him to resist it! However, the more critical the moment, Li Tiezhu said very calmly: "Five-step snake, if you are bitten and take five steps, you will be poisoned to death, so if I take four steps, let him take a bite, wouldn't it be possible to take four more steps? Wouldn't this cycle be able to return to Li Lao? Rounding off means that this snake is not poisonous!"
"it or the pillar brother is awesome, I want to get it...... But can this really work?" Li Huafan was stunned by Li Tiezhu's thinking and said in a daze
"Calm down, look at me," Li Tiezhu patted his chest with confidence and said
............-
"One, Two, Three, Four"
"Shhh...... Ah~"
"One, two, three, four" "Hiss"
The two of them stumbled into the village, and every four steps Li Tiezhu gasped when he was bitten, the snake had completely collapsed and hung weakly, and the long black fangs that were originally full of toxins had become white and transparent, and the venom was completely squeezed dry!
When Li Huafan watched Li Tiezhu take the initiative to grab the snake and let him bite his ankle, he couldn't bear to look directly and block his eyes with his hands, and the more he admired this courageous man in his heart......
"What's the matter, the snake is no longer poisonous! It's already dead!" Li Tiezhu said anxiously in a panic
Throwing away the snake that was already weak and rolling his eyes, looking at the dense tooth marks on his ankles, he lifted his pants only to find that the poison had been blackened and spread to his entire left leg! At this time, Li Tiezhu's face was pale, his lips were black, and a drop of sweat like a drop of sweat was constantly falling
Li Tiezhu suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "I'll go, if you carry me on your back, I won't have to walk, that is, if I don't take a step, the poison won't attack!
Li Huafan patted his head and suddenly realized: "That's right! Why didn't you think of it...... Isn't that why I'm going to carry you?"
Li Huafan carried Li Tiezhu step by step to his home, Li Tiezhu's heavy body made Li Huafan, who was not strong, even worse, and every step was so slow and difficult......
"Come on boy, it's almost there!"
"I said you have a lot to do, if you hadn't brought me to that place, I wouldn't have been bitten by a snake."
"I feel like I'm dying!"
“......”
Li Tiezhu, who was lying on his shoulder, kept chattering, he felt that the poison seemed to have become more and more serious, and even made his hands weak......
"You can be quieter! Speak to attract the flow of qi and blood, and you will be cooler faster!" Li Huafan couldn't help but say, Li Tiezhu kept chattering and even made himself suspect that this thing was okay at all......
"Xiao Fanfan, did you say that there was no one who didn't die after being bitten by this five-step snake?" Li Tiezhu suddenly asked
"Probably, when I was a child, there was an old uncle in the village who was accidentally bitten when he went up the mountain to chop wood, and the uncle immediately cut off his fingers with a firewood knife.
Then he killed the snake and took out the snake gall bladder and ate it.
I went to the river to clean the wound for a long time, and when I got home, I applied peach blossom wine to the wound again, and then I took a nap like no one......"
Speaking of this, Li Huafan paused
"What's next, what's wrong?"
That quiet afternoon, the uncle left, and walked peacefully. ”
Li Tiezhu: "......"
...... After a long silence
", hurry up, run, run!" Li Tiezhu shouted with a crying voice.
