Chapter 44: The Snake

The more Zhang Ziming walked inside, he felt that the cave suddenly opened up.

Zhang Ziming touched the stone wall, only to feel that it was smooth and abnormal, as if something had been polished.

Zhang Ziming thought in his heart, as the old man said before, there is a snake that has been practicing for thousands of years in this cave, and this stone wall is so smooth, could it be that I am going to the lair of the snake?

Zhang Ziming was slightly apprehensive in his heart, he didn't know what this Xuan Snake, who had cultivated for thousands of years, looked like and what ability he had.

Subconsciously touched the things given by the old man in his pocket.

This is the biggest reliance on coming here, Zhang Ziming sighed in his heart.

"However, I still haven't seen Wen Xi's figure here, probably she didn't come here, it's okay, if she encounters the snake, I'm afraid she will also have some trouble..."

Zhang Ziming continued to move forward, but he hid his breath and became cautious.

Walk more than 100 steps inside, out of the passage, it is a big hole, the stalactite hanging stone of the stone cave, a variety of colorful spars on the wall, the light reflects each other, the hole is reflected in the bizarre.

Looking up, it was pitch black, and the top was not visible.

Zhang Ziming looked forward and saw a stone step in front of him, and there seemed to be someone on the stone step.

Zhang Ziming jumped up the stone steps, only to see that this was a hexagonal altar.

And the person lying on the altar is Wenxi.

Zhang Ziming hurriedly stretched out his hand and put it on Wen Xi's wrist.

The originally nervous face slowly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's just that I passed out..."

Zhang Ziming used his true qi and tried to wake up Wen Xi, only to see Wen Xi's face showing pain, and blood seemed to be spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Ziming was startled and hurriedly stopped his luck, and the painful look on Wen Xi's face slowly dissipated and returned to calm.

"She has fallen into some kind of illusion, relying on external forces will only backfire, and only by herself can she wake up. ”

A deep male voice came.

Zhang Ziming was startled, looked up, and saw the gray-clothed man before slowly walking out of another passage, holding a vessel in his hand that he didn't know what to hold.

The man in gray saw Zhang Ziming's eyes gathered on the vessel in his hand, and with a wave of his robe, he hid it.

Then he said in a cold voice, "I can't see it if I get into the illusion, it's really useless." ”

Zhang Ziming didn't refute, just looked at the man in gray coldly, was on guard, and started a war with the man in gray at any time.

The man in gray saw Zhang Ziming's hostility and whispered, "Don't worry, I never kill people indiscriminately." At least it won't kill you now. ”

"I'm afraid you don't have the ability. Zhang Ziming responded coldly.

"Do you want to try it?" said the man in gray defiantly.

Zhang Ziming's eyes widened, his body tensed, the whole person jumped up, his true qi ran wildly, clenched his fists, and hit the man in gray.

The man in gray laughed loudly, "The light of rice grains dares to step forward and die!"

Seeing Zhang Ziming's punch attacking, the man in gray did not retreat but advanced, like an arrow on a string, and jumped out.

The two collided violently, and for a while, the black and white glow bloomed layer by layer, like colored light flowing, scattered all over the place.

The man in gray fought with Zhang Ziming, but found that Zhang Ziming still had some strength, but he was also an opponent, so he couldn't help but let go of his fists and feet, and his moves were stronger than one move.

Zhang Ziming's figure flashed, dodging the move of the man in gray, he let out a long roar, red light flashed in his eyes, and his breath skyrocketed.

When the man in gray saw Zhang Ziming's appearance, he was secretly shocked in his heart, this kid didn't seem to be simple.

I saw that Zhang Ziming's figure was faster than before, and he shot like a mountain and a sea, hitting the man in gray.

The man in gray slashed his arms and punched out. A pitch-black light rushed from his fist, and slammed towards Zhang Ziming with the momentum of thunder and lightning.

Bang!

There were several explosions, and between the two of them, the true qi collided, and several streams of true qi catapulted into the cave, and a big hole was actually punched out.

The man in gray shouted, "What a lot of strength!

Zhang Ziming may not have punched so happily for a long time, and his heart is indescribably comfortable. Raise your arms and roar to the sky.

Originally, Zhang Ziming's cultivation was not enough to compete with the man in gray for a long time, but with the secret medicine that the white-haired old man gave to Zhang Ziming before, he could improve his cultivation in a short period of time, so Zhang Ziming was able to fight back and forth with the man in gray.

The two were about to do it again when they heard an old voice.

The voice was low, but powerful, like a drum beat.

"Who is it!

Zhang Ziming and the man in gray stabilized their figures, turned around to look, and saw a huge creature with a huge shape and a curved hovering suddenly slowly appeared from above the altar.

Zhang Ziming and the man in gray were surprised when they saw the appearance of the creature.

It's a giant serpent!

The giant snake's eyes were like bells, and when it exhaled its breath, it turned into a white mist.

"It's been a long time since this cave has been so lively. ”

The serpent said slowly.

Every word echoed in the cave like thunder.

Zhang Ziming had to use his true qi to resist the sound, otherwise this thunderous sound would sooner or later shatter people's eardrums.

Zhang Ziming remembered what the white-haired old man said that the snake in the cave is the cave beast, so it must have a relationship with the dynasty.

But whether this origin is good or bad, the old man is not clear.

After all, the times are long, and what happened during this period, and how many changes have occurred, are no longer under the control of an old man who only lives in a cave and only has a soul body.

The second item given to Zhang Ziming by the white-haired old man was a white jade plaque.

This jade plaque was originally the highest-ranking token in the dynasty, and the jade plaque was seen as if the king was there in person.

But the old man also instructed that the jade plate should not be shown at will until the critical moment. Maybe it will have the opposite effect.

It seems that this snake is not necessarily loyal to the dynasty. Zhang Ziming thought secretly in his heart.

......

In the cave, the two of them and a snake looked at each other like this.

The snake squinted, his eyes shining with a gleam.

Zhang Ziming was sure in his heart, took a step forward, saluted towards the Xuan Snake, and said, "The juniors have disturbed the seniors' Qing Xiu." ”

The snake's body moved, and he exhaled.

"Well, it's kind of polite. ”

"Let's be honest, you don't have to go around with your little care. ”

Zhang Ziming looked at this huge body and suppressed the tension in his heart.

He arched his hand again and said, "Seniors, juniors are here, are you looking for two things?"

Zhang Ziming saw that the snake did not respond, and continued.

"What the younger generation is looking for is the white undergrass, and the seniors... The snakeskin that was faded by the predecessors..."

When Zhang Ziming said this, he was vaguely apprehensive in his heart.

It seems a bit difficult to accept the snakeskin that someone else has faded.

Sure enough, the snake laughed loudly, and its mouth opened.

Zhang Ziming only felt a strong wind blowing towards him.

"Snakeskin... In the next life, you have some guts. ”

Zhang Ziming quietly wiped the sweat from his sideburns, and said to the snake, "I hope that the seniors will be successful, and the younger generations are grateful!"

"In the world, there is a heavenly principle. If I help you now, how will you repay me?"

Zhang Ziming was stunned for a moment, happy in his heart, and said secretly, I didn't expect this snake to be quite reasonable.

Hurriedly said, "Whatever the seniors command, the juniors will definitely do!"

The snake's head was slightly raised, his eyes were closed, and he pondered for a moment.

Then he spoke slowly, "Do you know that there is a village outside, and their name is the Mountain Guard. ”

Zhang Ziming nodded. The man in gray saw Zhang Ziming nodding, a hint of surprise flashed on his face, why did he know about the Shoushan clan...

Xuan Snake's eyes widened, and he said word by word, "I want you to kill the whole village!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ziming and the man in gray were startled, and their expressions were different.

Zhang Ziming pondered for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "Senior, the Shoushan clan has already slaughtered the entire village. ”

"Really?"

"It's true. And the person who slaughtered the mountain guards happened to be the man in gray next to me. ”

The snake looked up to the sky and smiled.

"Hahahahaha! Guarding the mountain! You also have today! Tricked me back then, guarding the Shixi Cave for you. Now, the cycle of cause and effect, you should also have this retribution!"

"It's just that you can't slaughter with your own hands, after all, you don't have some pleasure. ”

The snake looked at the man in gray with a clear gaze.

He roared angrily, "Impossible! With your cultivation, how can you slaughter the Shoushan clan, and really deceive my old eyes!"

Zhang Ziming hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Seniors, it's not a secret, the Shoushan clan has already declined!"

Xuan Snake looked at Zhang Ziming with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Decline? Joke, could it be that the dynasty has fallen into decline!"
