Zhang Ling grabbed Wei Fatzi and said, "Don't interrupt, uncle, you go on"

Wei Fatzi's heart had already flown to the mountains, and he was planning to find the baby and what to do

The old man continued: "We are attached to the Dayan Mountain Range here, and there is a forbidden mountain in the mountain range, which is called Mangshan, do you know why it is called Mangshan?"

"Why, is there a python?", Zhang Ling asked

"Our ancestors have settled here for two or three hundred years, I heard my grandfather say, this mountain range did not name a certain mountain, once the ancestors hunted, saw the white flower a snake skin, dozens of zhang wide, hundreds of meters long, the ancestors saw such a big molt, are stunned, often hunting old hunters have never seen such a big python skin, see the surrounding crushed trees, said that this is the snake king in the mountain enclosure, then and everyone discussed, back to the village and set up a rule ancestral precepts, not allowed to set foot in the mountain fifty miles of land, get along for a hundred years but also have nothing to do, the mountain is also called Mangshan”

"Such a big snake has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is slowly exaggerated by false rumors", Wei Fatzi pouted

The old man shook his head and said, "Our people here don't lie, it's okay to go into the mountain, but don't go into the mountain."

Zhang Ling nodded at Wei Fatzi and said: "The nature of life in the mountains is simple, I think there should indeed be a big snake in this mountain, it is not something you and I can deal with, if there is really such a big snake, at least five hundred years, it is almost impossible to become a refinement, and the first-class masters dare not touch its edge, let's forget it."

The old man also nodded and said: "This snake has a spirit, it has never appeared at the foot of the mountain for hundreds of years, and it is almost impossible to leave if you don't want to be a spirit."

Wei Fatzi said with a nonchalant look: "How can this thing be compared with people, there are too many ways to control snakes, anyway, there may not be this shop in this village after the treasure in this mountain, this is my Wei Jishi's chance to turn over, I must go, Brother Qing, give a happy word, you don't go, you don't go, I will go alone." ”

"Fatty, calm down, we can't risk our lives, we don't have any preparation, it's very dangerous, even if we go, we have to sum it up" Zhang Ling grabbed Wei Fatzi and said

"Hey, okay, I know you're interesting, rest assured that if this spiritual treasure is really a spirit grass, it is estimated that the old man can be cured without returning to the Medicine King Valley, if there is no medicine, even if he arrives in the Medicine King Valley, he may not be able to be cured, at most he can save his life, where is the effect of this thousand-year-old elixir good", Wei Fatzi said

"Really?"

"That's nature, the thousand-year-old elixir has the effect of rebirth with a broken arm, as long as you breathe in it, you will definitely be able to recover as before"

Zhang Ling glanced at the old man who was still sleeping, he was sleeping most of the day, and his body was getting weaker and weaker, so he gritted his teeth and said secretly

Zhang Ling asked the old couple about the situation in the mountains, cleaned up briefly, found realgar powder, rope, and longbow in the village, and asked the old man to ask the old couple, leaving the silver taels with him at any time, leaving the daily medicine of the old man, and instructing the old couple to ask someone to go to the Bai family in Nanyun County to deliver a message, and everything was arranged to enter the mountain.

The old couple couldn't stop it, so they could only shake their heads secretly.

The old man led the way for the two of them, and when they were five miles into the mountain, they stopped moving forward, pointing ahead and saying: "Follow this direction, walk thirty miles, and you can see the place marked by the ancestors at that time, and after the mark, ten miles ahead should be the place where you saw the snakeskin at that time, remember to be careful." If the light is not in Mangshan, remember to take a detour."

Zhang Ling said: "If you have worked, you must keep in mind that if the two of you don't come back in three days, I will also ask the old man to help the boy bring a message to the Bai family in Nanyun County, please."

"Don't worry, the old man has lived most of his life and never broken his promise"

"Then there will be fatigue"

Bidding farewell to the old man, the two of them walked towards the mountains.

......

Along the way, Zhang Ling was worried about the legendary big snake, but Wei Fatzi looked relaxed, maybe Wei Fatzi was born in the valley and had more contact with snakes, so he didn't have so much fear of snakes. It's full of excitement. Fantasizing about the treasures of heaven and earth.

The mountain road is rugged, with trees and dead branches, and overgrown with weeds, the two of them wielded knives and walked while opening the road, encountering many fierce beasts, and the two of them avoided them.

A single beast is not a match for the two, and of course, for animals such as deer, the two do not kill evil, and try not to disturb them.

But for the wild boar herd, the two are cautious, do not dare to alarm, the angry wild boar is not easy to provoke, looking at the wild boar herd not far away, there are dozens, each with long fangs.

Different from the obesity and docility of domestic pigs, these wild boars are extremely strong in front legs and chest, and the back half of their bodies are also strong, and the whole body of several hundred catties is like a triangle, feeling that there is no excess fat, and they are completely unafraid of things, even if they are the tigers of the king of the jungle, they probably do not dare to offend them easily.

Of course, the two didn't want to waste time dealing with the wild boars, and looking at the sturdy bodies of the wild boars and the fangs between their mouths, they could only quietly bypass.

After about half a day, I finally saw the place where the ancestor saw the snake molt that the old man said, after hundreds of years, the skin of the snake molt has long disappeared, but I saw the traces of being enclosed by the snake.

The huge trees were broken hard, and there was obviously an isolation belt about five zhang wide, spreading to the mountains, this isolation belt looked very conspicuous, obviously created by external forces, and there were towering trees on both sides, but such a wide place in the middle was just weeds, the trees were either knocked down, or broken, there was no tall wood, some were just some weeds, looking at this broken tree, Wei Fatzi was also a little stunned, if this is really a snake, then this snake is indeed too thick.

said in a trembling voice: "Brother Ling, this can't really be done by a snake?"

Zhang Ling ignored him, squatted down and kept observing the fractures of the trees, looked at more than a dozen broken trees in a row, pointed to a broken wood and said: "This tree should have been broken for ten years, and that one is even older, all of which are caused by the collision of brutal external forces, presumably this legend is true."

When Wei Fatzi heard this, it was obviously not the answer he wanted, so he cheered himself up and said, "Do you know the difference between humans and animals?"

Zhang Ling was still observing those fractures and marks on the ground, and he didn't raise his head and casually responded: "What?"

"Hey, that's whether you can use tools," he said and danced twice with the knife, and then continued: "No matter how big the snake is, it is also an animal, how can it fight people, hum, see how I slaughtered this beast"

Zhang Ling didn't say anything, stood up and patted the dirt on his hand and said, "There is indeed a big snake here, which will be re-enclosed almost every ten years, judging from the traces here, the age should be like this, but I haven't seen the latest enclosure, and there should be no new traces of this trace for more than ten years."

"Hey, what are you afraid of, the knife in our hands, the bow on our backs, and the realgar powder on your back, the ecstasy smoke in my arms, I don't believe that it won't kill it", Wei Fatzi still looked like he didn't care before, but his tone of voice was much smaller than before.
