The clouds in the distance were as black as ink, thick as iron, and as time passed, the pressure became lower and lower, and it was not much effort before heavy snow fell.

As the snow falls, the temperature gets lower and lower, and when you spit on the ground, it becomes ice slag, which is quite a bit of dripping into ice.

Pang Xie and his entourage were in such weather, braving the fluttering snow in the Black Dragon Valley.

Zhao Huxing didn't know why, although the kung fu was still there, but the qi and blood had exhausted, and he couldn't stand the cold early, took out the soju in the bamboo basket, and drank a lot of wine to keep out the cold, under his drive, Pang Xie, Tian Qi, and Li Dayong also drank together to keep warm.

It's just that Zhao Huxing has one altar to himself, and Pang Xie, Tian Qi, and Li Dayong drink another altar.

As for which jar of wine should be drunk by which person, only Pang Xie and Tian Qi knew.

The weather in the mountains changed rapidly, and the heavy snow fell for a while, gradually subsided, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the sun again.

"It's almost time, let's find a place in front of us to make a fire and cook. Li Dayong looked down at his watch.

"Well, it's okay, the old man is a little tired. Zhao Huxing nodded and said, walking in the snow is extremely physically demanding, more than walking on flat ground, it costs more than fifty percent, you can eat while walking in the first two days, you don't have to stop on the way, but today it can't.

The four of them walked for a while, found a large flat stone in front of them, swept away the snow on the stone, put down their luggage, and set up an alcohol stove.

Light the fire, take the pot, melt the snow, below.

The noodles are rolled by the villagers of Sanjia Village, pure natural, pollution-free, without any additives, with the meat sauce given by Yang Yan, in a moment, the snow water boils, and a pot of fragrant hot noodle soup is out of the pot.

Tian Qi and Li Dayong each served a bowl, and ate happily with the bowl, Zhao Huxing served it later, he was old and liked to eat softer noodles, as for Pang Xie, he ate last, with his amount of food, if he let go of eating, the other three would not eat it.

Zhao Huxing squatted on the ground, picked up a bowl of noodles, ate two bites of "nourishing, nourishing", nodded and said: "Don't look at the place of this village, this noodle is not bad, and the ancestors are indeed a big family." ”

Having said this, Zhao Huxing's face changed suddenly, holding the bowl in his left hand, his head did not turn, his body did not shake, his right hand pinched the two chopsticks, he didn't look at it, he suddenly threw it back, only to hear the two muffled sounds of "poof", and the two chopsticks were successively stuck on a big pine tree more than seven feet behind him.

The force attached to the two chopsticks was extremely great, and the big pine tree that was more than one person thick shook a few times, and the snow on the tree was scattered like raindrops, which was spilling into the bowls of Li Dayong and Tian Qi.

"Instructor Zhao, what are you angry with the tree? Tian Qi looked at the snow that was gradually melting in the noodles and complained.

"What did you find?" Li Dayong put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, his eyes fluttering, and he looked around vigilantly.

"Hmph, little guy, go and see, what my two chopsticks are nailed on!" Zhao Huxing snorted coldly, he heard the evil wind behind him, so he attacked, as for what it hit, it was really not clear.

Tian Qi was stunned, then walked two steps quickly, came to the pine tree, and then took a closer look in the dim light, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and shouted loudly: "Ah! What a thick snake!"

"Snake, what are you kidding?" Li Dayong's face sank.

As we all know, snakes are cold-blooded animals, and in early winter, they will find a cave in the ground to hibernate, and will not wake up until the beginning of spring of the following year and return to the surface.

It is already the depths of winter, how can we stay on the ground? What's more, with the current temperature, even if we stay on the ground, I am afraid that they will freeze, and where can they crawl?

"It's really a snake! I don't believe you're coming to see it!" Tian Qi shouted.

Li Dayong and Zhao Huxing walked under the pine tree together, but Pang Xie was the old god, and began to fish noodles from the pot, seemingly without the slightest interest.

"Huh?"

"What a snake!"

On the big pine tree, there is a black snake more than four feet long, the thickness of the thumb, the whole body is like ink, only the head of the snake is a little black, the triangular head, the snake's mouth is half open, revealing two sharp fangs, obviously extremely poisonous, head down, tail up, seems to be going downstream from the treetops.

Li Dayong and Zhao Huxing glanced at each other, and the two saw a deep doubt in each other's eyes.

"What kind of strange snake is this, how can it walk in the ice and snow?" Li Dayong couldn't help but ask.

"This is not a strange snake, it is an ordinary white-headed viper, there are many on the ground in Yongzhou, but I haven't heard that this thing can still come out in winter. ”

Zhao Huxing said a few words, reached out and touched the snake corpse, his technique was extremely accurate, the two bamboo chopsticks just thrown, one pierced from the snake's head, and the other pierced from the snake's belly, both of which were deeply pierced into the tree, so although it was only a blow, he was not worried that the snake would not die thoroughly, and would fight back.

"Huh, this snake... Why not ice?"

"No ice?"

Li Dayong and Tian Qi couldn't help but reach out and touch it, feeling that although the snake corpse was not as hot as the human body, it was also maintained at around twenty degrees, which was completely different from the bitter cold temperature around them.

"It's weird. ”

The three of them looked at it for a while, but they couldn't see anything, so they had to shake their heads, admiring that there were really nothing strange in this world.

Just as the three of them were amazed, Pang Xie also walked over after eating noodles, stretched out his hand to touch the snake corpse, and said with a smile: "Why not ice? This is all hard, eighty percent is a dead snake that has been frozen here for a long time." ”

"How could it be..."Tian Qi touched it again, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Why did it freeze so quickly? ”

Zhao Huxing and Li Dayong reached out and touched it together.

Somehow, the snake corpse, which was soft just a moment ago, became extremely stiff in the blink of an eye, as if it had been frozen in the ice and snow for a long time.

......

"It's... It's really a strange thing..."Tian Qi shook his head and said.

After eating, the four of them went on the road again, Zhao Huxing didn't take the matter of the black snake to heart at all, in his words, he had seen strange things when he was young, and this little thing was not surprising at all.

Li Dayong was silent, didn't say a word, hid his words in his heart, and walked in front alone, while Pang Xie had a disbelieving attitude, as if he felt that the three of them were just an illusion just now, and one of them walked leisurely at the end.

Only Tian Qi kept talking, and seemed to be still immersed in what had just happened.

"Instructor Zhao, how can you have such a great ability, so far away, you can't look at it, you can stab the black snake to death with two chopsticks in your hand!" Tian Qi couldn't help but say.

"It's just a matter of listening to the wind and adding a little hidden weapon kung fu, what is it in the eyes of connoisseurs?

"Old man, I don't know any kung fu, that is, I have practiced for two days, I really admire the two times you just now. Pang Xie laughed.

"You kid..."Zhao Huxing shook his head.

"Old man, you said, if the black snake just now hadn't been crucified by you, would it be able to exchange a lot of money for the outside of the mountain?" Tian Qi asked.

"It's up to you kid to figure it out. Aren't you afraid that it will bite you twice?" Zhao Huxing rolled his eyes.

"My flesh is not delicious, and even if you bite, you won't pick me to bite it. Tian Qi smiled.

Tian Qi was laughing, and suddenly felt that his shoulders were tight, and he was already caught, and then a strong force came, pulling him backwards.

This force was brittle and urgent, and he was not allowed to struggle at all, so he lifted him straight into the air and lifted his feet off the ground.

Tian Qi was in mid-air, but he didn't think about struggling, because he knew that there was only Pang Xie behind him, and Pang Xie would definitely not harm him if he did this.

But why did Pang Xie do this? Before he could come up with an answer, he saw a white snake with the thickness of his wrist leaping down from the big tree beside him, passing from where he was standing just now, and pounced fiercely at Zhao Huxing, who was walking in front of him.

"Snake... Snake!"

Tian Qi was startled, and then shouted loudly, wanting to remind Zhao Huxing.

Zhao Huxing's movements were far faster than Tian Qi's voice, and before Tian Qi's voice rushed out of his throat, his left hand quickly probed to the outside of his thigh, pulled out the military dagger that was pinned here, and stabbed behind him with his backhand, and at the same time, his waist turned around, and his body shook slightly to the right, flashing the white snake's pounce route.

A pump, a stab, and a twist all happen when the lightning is flint, and the moves are round and spicy, without the slightest flaw, which can be described as both offensive and defensive, and it is wonderful to the peak.

"Wow"!

A knife hit the head of the white snake, and the white snake's body shook, fell from mid-air, and fell to the ground.

"It's amazing!" Tian Qi blurted out.

Zhao Huxing turned around, his face was slightly colorful, and he seemed to be extremely satisfied with this knife.

"Instructor Zhao, what's wrong?" Li Dayong walked in the front, and it wasn't until Zhao Huxing drew his knife that he heard the sound of the golden blade breaking through the air, but he turned around late and didn't see what Zhao Huxing had stabbed.

"Nothing, another snake, already dissipated. Zhao Huxing said lightly.

"This is strange, how can there be so many snakes coming out in this ghost weather?" Li Dayong took a few steps to Zhao Huxing's left and right as he spoke.

"I..."Zhao Hu said halfway, looked down at the white snake on the ground, and at a glance, his face changed suddenly, it turned out that the white snake that fell to the ground just now had disappeared, leaving only a wrist-thick snow hole, at a glance, the white snake was not dead just now, and after landing on the ground, he drilled a hole and ran.

Zhao Huxing frowned, the knife he had just now was fast and heavy, not to mention a white snake, it was an iron rod, and it could also be cut into two with one knife, how could that white snake not die after being stabbed?

He turned his head to look at the dagger again, the wrinkles between his eyebrows were deeper, and the tip of the dagger was not only not bloody, but the edge on the tip of the knife was somewhat broken, as if it was stabbed on a steel plate.

Looking at the damaged tip of the knife, Zhao Huxing's eyes couldn't help but stare at it, and he stood on the spot for a while.

Sand... Sand...

Just as Zhao Huxing was in deep thought, a small sound suddenly came from under his feet, and then, as soon as the snowflakes on the ground flickered, a white shadow suddenly rushed out of the snow and went straight to Zhao Huxing's calf.

It turned out that after the white snake was shot down just now, it didn't escape, but hid in the snow on the ground, and swam in front of Zhao Huxing from under the snow, and then suddenly pounced.

The white snake's pounce came suddenly, Zhao Huxing was in a trance, and he didn't have time to dodge in a hurry, Li Dayong and Tian Qi were still some distance away from Zhao Huxing, and it was too late to rescue them.

Seeing that Zhao Huxing could not escape from Shekou, a black shadow suddenly flashed out from behind Tian Qi, rushed to Zhao Huxing in two steps, grabbed the white snake, and grabbed the seven-inch position tightly.

This black shadow came too fast, and the figure carried the sound of the wind, setting off a burst of snow mist, until all the snowflakes fell, Zhao Huxing saw clearly that the black shadow in front of him was none other than Pang Xie who was walking at the end of the team.

Pang Xie stood up on the spot, his left hand leisurely copied in his pocket, his right hand tightly held the white snake, and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that what the three of you said is true, there are really snakes that don't hibernate in this season and wander outside." ”
