Chapter 29: The Snake Man
Xiao Yubiao was taken aback, never thinking that his wall of light would be broken by the silver snake in this way.
The three silver snakes drove straight in, and Xiao Yubiao hurriedly waved the flute, and the shadow of the flute was like a mountain, completely enveloping himself in it.
The ears heard the sound of "swish" and "swishing" non-stop, which was the sound of the silver snake touching the jade flute. This snake is not fleshy, so it will not die when it is struck.
The three silver snakes drilled at the crack and attacked from all directions.
These three silver snakes are completely different from the big snake formation just now. The big snake formation is like a muscular man, and he will die with you step by step. The three little snakes are well-trained, but they rely on small, skillful, smart, accurate, and ruthless to fight with Xiao Sheng.
These three silver snakes are like gold and not gold, but they are actually the illusion of the "essence, qi, and god" of the snake people.
Xiao Sheng's flute is competing with the snake people, but in fact, it is also competing with the true yuan.
Thanks to the elixir, the true yuan was improved in a short period of time, so it had the upper hand at first. But as soon as the medicinal power of the pill passed, his true yuan began to fall off a cliff, so the true yuan was lost very much.
Xiao Sheng suffered a loss because he was injured, so his skills were discounted a few times compared to usual, but fortunately, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, even so, he was still able to cope with it.
And this snake is not another snake, those living creatures are hit by seven inches or the head of the snake is killed in an instant, and this snake is only slightly damaged when it is hit.
Suddenly, Xiao Sheng broke the deadlock with a loud shout.
Three clouds of green mist suddenly erupted from the jade flute stabbed by Xiao Sheng. The fog was not big, just enough to envelop the silver snake, and the silver snake shook its head and tail in the green fog and struggled, but it still couldn't get out of trouble. Finally, it jumped back to the light, turned into three dust threads, and fell to the ground leisurely.
The snake man let out a "wow" and spat out blood, and there were still blood stains on his lips, which was very hideous.
Xiao Sheng closed his eyes, covered his chest with his hands, his body swayed, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly ran over and held her husband with one hand, glaring angrily at the snake man.
The snake man wiped the blood stains on the side of his mouth with his hand, took a sip, and said: "Admire and admire, Xiao Sheng really lives up to his reputation, and he can actually break my three-element true qi in such a weak situation." But ......"
He deliberately stopped the topic.
Is the snake man afraid of revealing his hole cards in advance or whatever.
At this time, the square was very quiet, and everyone chose to silence, they were waiting for the next step of the snake people.
Jiang Ziyi suddenly pulled my arm and said, "Is this Taoist going to do tricks again?
Jiang Ziyi's words were very light, but in this square where even the embroidery needle could be heard on the ground, it seemed so abrupt.
Everyone turned around and looked at Jiang Ziyi together.
The snake man turned his head to look at it without exception, and he said to Jiang Ziyi arrogantly: "What do you little girl know......
Suddenly, the snake man's face changed greatly, he seemed to have seen something terrible, he hurriedly took a few steps back, grabbed Jiang Bugui's hand and said, "Go!"
In an instant, the snake Dao man and Jiang Bugui disappeared out of thin air.
Everyone looked at each other and talked a lot, not knowing the reason for the sudden departure of the snake man.
I'm also guessing, he should have seen the number 17 of the ground word behind Jiang Ziyi, is the number 17 of the ground word giving any hint to the snake road people?
No. 17 was standing behind me, and I couldn't see what he was doing.
Everyone chattered and told their speculations.
Jiang Ziyi applauded and said: "It's really fun, next time I meet this Taoist priest, I will let him perform a few hands." ”
Jiang Ziyi then looked at me again and said, "Brother Zhang, will you change these tricks?"
I smiled wryly and shook my head.
Everyone dispersed one after another, and I also returned to my seat with Jiang Ziyi.
By this time the sun had set, and it was getting dark. We stopped drinking, had a quick bite to eat, and then prepared to go to the inn to rest.
It's still No. 300 who is ready to take me to the backyard of the inn. I suddenly remembered that I had something to explain, so I asked him to take me to the shopkeeper first.
The shopkeeper was talking to Mrs. Xiao about something, and Mrs. Xiao seemed very excited, and she didn't speak when she saw me coming. Xiao Shengze sat on a chair next to him with the child. When the shopkeeper saw me coming, he put Mrs. Xiao aside for the time being, greeted me with a smile, and said to me: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, what just happened was purely accidental, and the shop ......."
He thought I was looking for him for the fight he had just had.
I said directly to the shopkeeper: "I didn't look for you for this, I have a traveling companion who got separated halfway, I will tell you what he looks like, if he comes, take me to my room"
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and I described the general appearance of the pocket monk to the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper had heard this, he said, "I have written it down for you, and if he comes, I will bring it to you." ”
I said thank you, and was about to turn around and leave, Mrs. Xiao looked at Jiang Ziyi, and then said: "This son, please stay, I have a reluctant request, I heard that you have two rooms, can you let one of your two rooms out, I ...... I ......"
It turns out that the Seven Star Inn can avoid revenge and danger, so it is full every day. I came to have a house because someone stayed there for seven days.
I guess Mrs. Xiao wants to say: "I will double the money for you to stay in the hotel, but I may be shy in my pocket, so I won't come out for a long time, it seems that the shopkeeper said that it is true." ”
But I really want to get to know Xiao Sheng and his wife, not to mention Xiao Sheng's appearance, it's not suitable to go anywhere else. Although Mrs. Xiao's request made me reluctant, I readily agreed.
I said, "Okay, Mrs. Xiao, I'll give you my room, you don't have to give the money, I have a little heart for Xiao Daxia." ”
Jiang Ziyi's eyes looked at me stunned, and her eyes seemed to be a little angry, as if to say, "You want to be in the same room with me?"
Mrs. Xiao originally said casually, but she didn't expect me to agree so happily, with a look of surprise on her face, she bowed down to me politely, and whispered, "Then thank you son." ”
The shopkeeper flattered me and said, "Childe is really a good person, these days, hey, there are still few good people." ”
Mrs. Xiao picked up the child and went to support her husband, I saw that Mrs. Xiao was inconvenient, so I wanted to help her hold the child. Who knew that Jiang Ziyi took the lead and said, "Madam, you have a lot of inconvenience, I'll help you hold the child." After speaking, he clapped his hands at the child.
The child didn't recognize his life, and opened his little hand with a smile.
Mrs. Xiao smiled at Jiang Ziyi and sent the child to Jiang Ziyi's arms.
No. 300 led us to the backyard. As he walked, he talked about the rules of the Seven Star Inn. He said: "We are honest and fair-priced, and we ensure the safety of every customer in the store. So...... The Seven Star Inn also has its own rules. The maximum length of stay at one time is seven days. If you need to stay again, you will have to wait for another seven days, and secondly, guests will not be allowed to book. ”
His following words are similar to the words of the shopkeeper. Finally, he emphasized: "In order to avoid disturbing each other and causing unnecessary trouble, it is forbidden for any guests to go out of their courtyards after the first hour, otherwise the consequences will be very severe." Even during the day, you are not allowed to move around the grounds without permission. ”
In ancient times, twelve hours were used, and it began at 23 o'clock in today's time. E-hour is now 19 p.m. to 21 p.m.
No. 300 Xiao Er said very clearly, but I was thinking: "Could it be that there is an ulterior secret hidden in the inn?"
I asked with suspicion, and thought to myself, "Isn't there any guest activity outside after the end of the day?"
No. 300 Xiao Er seemed to see my question, and he continued: "The courtyard where the guests are located is allowed to enter and not to leave. This rule lasted until the end of the hour. ”
I said, "Listen to you, and we will naturally abide by the rules of the inn." ”
They didn't say anything, they just followed us.
The backyard of the Seven Star Inn is very large, and the path is secluded and full of yellow leaves. Meanders into a variety of trees and bamboos.
At the turn of the road, there is occasionally a round gate, and behind the round gate is a small courtyard. These round doors have names on them. What "listen to the lotus garden", "watch the rain pavilion", "flowers full of buildings" and so on. I thought to myself, "These courtyards have good names, and the innkeeper must be an elegant man." ”
No. 300 Xiao Er led us to the back and walked into a round gate called "Langxue Zhai".
When I stepped through the round door, I found that on the edge of the round door there was a delicate hut. An old man in a blue cloth walked out of the hut.
No. 300 Xiao Er gave a salute to the old man and said, "Old Huang, these are a few guest officers from Rongxuezhai, and I will hand it over to you." ”
The old man glanced at us and said to No. 300 Xiao Er: "There are five guest officers in total, I received it, you can go back and restore your life." ”
I can see that Huang Lao's status is much higher than that of No. 300 Junior, just from the fact that he is not called so-and-so, it can be seen slightly. He occupies the doorway, similar to a modern doorman or security guard. Going in and out of this courtyard is to go under his nose.
At this time, Huang Lao changed his smile and said to us: "Hello everyone, you are responsible for the food, daily life and safety of Langxuezhai, if you have anything, you can come here to find me." ”
I hugged my fists: "Thank you, Huang Lao, then bother." ”
I guess Huang Lao should be the head of this courtyard or something.
Huang Lao then said: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, presumably you have some understanding of the rules here, and I don't want unpleasant things to happen." ”
At this time, two more guys came from behind Huang Lao, and they led me and Xiao Sheng and my wife to the two guest rooms respectively. I noticed that these two guys are not numbered, and they seem to be the lowest level in the inn.
The houses in the yard are scattered, not the townhouse kind.
