Chapter 105: Roasted Snake Meat
"Yin and Yang Flowers?"
Mengzi carefully groped for the past, no matter what kind of flower, just pick it! It is really not easy for such a small flower to grow in such a deserted place.
The florets grow next to a pair of weeds, standing alone and looking very conspicuous. Mengzi reached over and was just about to pick flowers, when he suddenly shook his whole body and disappeared in an instant.
"Be careful!"
At the same time, Jun Wuxian in the back also sensed that something was wrong, and there was a giant python with a thick arm hidden under the purple flower. The snake was exactly the same color as the weeds around it, and it was difficult to distinguish its appearance when lurking inside, and both he and Yumeko's attention were attracted by the purple flower, and they let their guard down for a while.
At the moment when Mengzi stretched out his hand, the python suddenly woke up, and the reflexive mouth opened to bite, but fortunately, Mengzi reacted very sensitively, and he didn't have time to dodge in a hurry, so he subconsciously became invisible, and there was no entity to let the python bite in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Mengzi patted his frightened little heart and appeared beside Jun Wuxian, wiping cold sweat in fear: "I'm scared to death baby, this thing looks so ugly, it's ugly to me!"
Jun Wuxian hooked the corners of his mouth and said unceremoniously: "What a fuss, you are ugly to me every day, and I didn't say anything!"
"Old boy, who do you say is ugly!" Mengzi twitched the corner of his eyebrows, he looks so cute, where is he ugly?
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, the python suddenly propped up its upper body, exuding a dangerous aura all over its body, and spit out scarlet letters from its mouth from time to time. However, what made Jun Wuxian frown was that if he looked closely, this thing actually had scales on its back, and it looked even more cold when it stood up.
"Tsk, it's not easy to grow like this, but a snake is a snake, and it is impossible to cultivate Jackie Chan in this life. Mengzi said disdainfully, "It would be nice if she was away from the girl, she has a quiet color, and as soon as the real dragon comes out, this little guy is afraid that he will only have to flee for his life." ”
"Have you ever eaten snake meat?" Jun Wuxian suddenly pulled out the dagger he carried with him, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out of the dream, he immediately reacted and nodded again and again, "I've eaten it, it's fragrant! You can get the snake gall out when you bake it later, that thing is very replenishing!"
"Do you still need to make up?"
"Nonsense, who doesn't want good things? This guy looks like he has to live for ten or eight years, and the snake gall is more replenished, you hurry up, I'll go find firewood." ”
As early as when he was in the miasma forest, Mengzi wanted to eat snake meat, and this time he didn't have to make a move to help him, and he swallowed saliva in a moment of greed.
After Yumeko finished speaking, he ran away, leaving him and the python staring at each other with big eyes. For this kid's unkind escape, Jun Wuxian felt helpless. He held the short knife in his backhand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his whole body exuded an imminent momentum.
The python also seemed to feel the changes in Jun Wuxian's body, and instinctively raised the scales on his neck, ready to fight at any time.
Jun Wuxian sneered and swung his knife forward!
Hitting the snake and hitting seven inches, this knife stabbed the python's back seven inches with great precision. Jun Wuxian's shot was steady and accurate, but since this python could survive on the dangerous border, it naturally had its special skills, and at the moment when Jun Wuxian's figure loomed, it quickly dodged the lightning-like blade in a strange posture, and its huge body moved very flexibly in the grass.
One hit missed, Jun Wuxian was a little surprised, this beast is very powerful, he can dodge his own knife, it's really a bit of a way!
The python seemed to wake up suddenly in Jun Wuxian's fierce murderous aura, and a long letter spat out, stabbing at Jun Wuxian's arm with black venom. Seeing the python's tentative attack, Jun Wuxian turned sideways slightly to avoid the venom, his wrist flipped, and the dagger pulled out a sharp knife flower in the air.
"Venom, huh? Look at Ben Gongzi pulling your teeth!"
The blade slashed at the python's neck again, Jun Wuxian filled the blade with strength, and easily blocked the tail that the python threw over, but the knife momentum did not decrease at all, and directly slashed into the python's upside-down scales.
A stream of blue-black blood burst out instantly, and Jun Wuxian muttered to himself, "Is it better to bake it whole or slice it?"
"No matter, let's dig out the snake gall first. ”
The python didn't expect that he would not even have the slightest strength to fight back in the hands of the person in front of him, and he could subdue it so easily with two simple moves, at this time its huge body was unwilling to twist wildly, but the short knife of the helpless Jun Wuxian was very sharp, and directly pierced its neck, and the tip of the knife was inserted into the stone, so that the python's entire body was nailed there solidly, and it couldn't move at all.
Jun Wuxian happily comforted: "The snake is inherently dead, early death and late death are death, it is better to do something good before death, enter the pot to fill our stomachs, and also count it as accumulating virtue for yourself." ”
This guy has been staying with Mengzi for a long time, and he blurted out a set of crooked reasoning, regardless of whether the python can understand it or not, he directly pulled out a knife and shot at the snake's stomach with ease.
At this time, Mengzi, who came back with a few pieces of firewood, happened to see this scene, quickly threw the firewood in his hand on the ground, hurriedly ran over, and shouted very uneasily: "You be careful, don't break my snake gall, otherwise it won't taste good!"
"You can do it, you can come!" Jun Wuxian snorted twice, and without waiting for Xiao Mengzi to run closer, he directly disemboweled the python with a knife, and the blue and black blood flowed all over the ground. Slaughtering this kind of little beast, Jun Wuxian is still very good at it, and the knife dug out the snake gall in the stomach three times and twice, and threw it back casually.
"Next!"
Mengzi hurriedly took it, couldn't close her mouth happily, and hurriedly ran to a small pond not far away. Jun Wuxian shook his head, secretly saying that the kid was a foodie, and then continued to peel the snake skin tirelessly, and by the way, he also divided the snake meat into several pieces of about the same size, so that it was easy to roast and eat.
After tidying up, he took a breath and waited for Yumeko to come back and clean the snake meat. Wiping the short knife casually with the hem of his clothes, Jun Wuxian had no time to glance at the small lilac flower next to the python.
Gently pluck the flowers, put them between the nose and smell them, and the shallow floral fragrance like morning dew makes people feel refreshed.
"Huh, have you picked the yin and yang flowers?" Mengzi came up with the washed snake gall and looked at it curiously, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "This flower seems to be different from the one drawn in the book!"
"It's different. Jun Wuxian nodded, carefully observed the lines on the petals, and said slowly, "The petals of the Yin and Yang Flower are half black and half white, half yin and half yang, and its flower name comes from this. This one is a purple cocoon, which can cure all kinds of poisons, and it is no wonder that there are poisonous snakes entrenched around it. All things are born and restrain each other, and the medicinal properties of this flower are the nemesis of poisonous snakes. ”
"Oh, well, why don't you keep it, maybe it will be useful!" Yumeko said casually, unconcerned.
Jun Wuxian nodded: "I'll just keep this, you go wash the snake meat, I'll make a fire, let's eat enough first." ”
So, these two greedy guys really set up a barbecue at the border honestly and unceremoniously, and the smell of snake meat wafted in the air, causing Yumeko to drool.
However, at this time, Yin Xiaoran, who was sitting firmly in the tent, was worried about a bowl of green vegetable leaves, he looked at Mu Qianluo, who was also chewing vegetable leaves, with an expression of disbelief, and couldn't help but say: "You're not hungry, it's okay if you haven't eaten for hundreds of years, why do you have to force yourself to eat this kind of food?
Mu Qianluo was also very helpless, put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "We are a garrison, we are guarding the border, not here to enjoy happiness!"
"That's not like this every day, right?" Yin Xiaoran smiled bitterly and pointed to the green cabbage leaves, "We are guests anyway, can't your garrison get any good wine and food?"
This seems to be a bit picky, but Mu Qianluo, who is familiar with Yin Xiaoran's personality, knows that he is not the kind of person who likes to be picky.
"Xiao Ran, tell me honestly, what is the identity of the group of friends you brought?"
At this time, only the two of them were there, and Mu Qianluo didn't want to go around in circles, Yin Xiaoran's performance in front of that group of friends was too regular, and he had the impression that he was a comfortable and chic person, and he would never be restrained. Such an abnormal performance made Mu Qianluo wonder, Yin Xiaoran is a hermit in the true sense, no matter how affectionate he is, he will not take his friends with him, the so-called gentleman's friendship is as light as water, it is him!
"Some of them have demons. Yin Xiaoran said lightly, "That's all I can say." But I can assure you that they are only here to find Yin Yang Flower, and they will never cause trouble for the border garrison. ”
Such vague words made Mu Qianluo shake his head and smile bitterly, "It seems that the identities of these people are really unfathomable, and even you are very afraid to say it." ”
"But anyway...... Xiao Ran, I'll tell you the truth, there is really nothing you are looking for here, you can take them away in three days, and I will arrange a hidden route for you, whether it is to return to the mortal world or to the demon world, it is not a problem. ”
"I just want yin and yang flowers. Yin Xiaoran put down his chopsticks and looked at Mu Qianluo seriously, and his intuition told him that the friend in front of him had something to hide from him, and this matter seemed to be related to what they were looking for.
"Why are you so dead-eyed?" Mu Qianluo frowned and stared at him unceremoniously, "That kind of flower has been burned to the ground in the Great War, I have been guarding the border for hundreds of years, and I know every grass and tree here very well, if the Yin and Yang Flower really exists, I can't let you go to such great trouble to find it." ”
"I believe you, but I also believe that you must know the whereabouts of the Yin Yang Flower. Yin Xiaoran insisted.
Hearing this, Mu Qianluo's face froze. He understood what Yin Xiaoran meant, and he believed what he said, there is no Yin-Yang Flower growing here, but it does not mean that there are no remnants of this flower in the hands of the people here, because in the legend of the mortal world, a high-ranking general on the border once offered the only Yin-Yang Flower to his boss in order to obtain a higher military rank.
And Mu Qianluo is the supreme general of the entire northern garrison, if the legend is true, then he definitely knows the whereabouts of the only yin and yang flower!
