Chapter 26: The Monty Python and the Old Monk
The mountains near Jiuli Mountain are continuous, the peaks and peaks are towering, the jungle is dense, the valleys are vertical and horizontal, and the dangers are everywhere.
At this time, it is the beginning of winter, although it has not snowed, but it is also cold, and most of the plants and trees have withered, showing the gloom. It is extremely difficult to collect medicine in such a season.
Zhao Ziming and his entourage of more than 20 people have been in the mountain for seven days, but there are no casualties because of adequate preparations. The accompanying medicine boy's medical skills are not high, but his ability to recognize and collect medicines is very strong, which is more than one step better than Zhao Ziming, and after a few days, he has gained a lot.
On this day, while walking, the wind suddenly blew and the sky suddenly darkened, and then, the sound of rain hitting the leaves sounded intensively.
Everyone immediately stopped, and the three disciples who were responsible for carrying daily luggage took out the tent, found high ground and began to build it, and the others were not idle, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The rain was heavy and dripping, and from afternoon to evening there was no sign of stopping. The people had to huddle in their tents and eat dry food when they were hungry.
In the early morning of the next day, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, the air was filled with white fog, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
In such weather, it is undoubtedly impossible to collect medicine.
"Oh no. Tie Niu's voice came, he hurriedly approached, and said to Zhao Ziming: "Deacon Qian, the two disciples in charge of the night patrol are missing. ”
Zhao Ziming's face changed, "Missing?" In order to ensure safety, two people take turns to keep vigil every night.
Tie Niu said: "When I got up early in the morning, I didn't see their figures, and I searched all around, but there was none. ”
Zhao Ziming said in a deep voice: "Wake everyone up, everyone will search separately!" A bad premonition rose in his heart.
"We didn't find much. ”
Half an hour later, the searcher returned, and the answer was the same.
Zhao Ziming's face tightened, and after a while, he held back a sentence, "Clean up your things, press the original mark, and go back to the gang at full speed." The medicinal herbs he collected should be enough for a while, and he felt more and more uneasy in his heart, so he immediately made a decision.
Everyone packed up their things, braved the fog, and walked forward in the mud. Zhao Ziming walked at the end, looking behind him from time to time, and his eyes were full of whiteness, but he faintly felt that there seemed to be something behind him.
Two hours passed, and Zhao Ziming was a little more settled, but just when they stopped to rest, the accident happened again.
"Ahh
The white mist dissipated a lot, and everyone looked at the place where the voice came from, only to see a black shadow flashing and disappearing, and at the same time, there was also a medicine boy.
Seeing such a strange scene, everyone's hearts were cold, Zhao Ziming forced himself to calm down, and shouted: "Stop!
The forest was quiet, the breeze was blowing, and the mist was surging, which added to the terrifying atmosphere.
There was a long silence.
Zhao Ziming said: "Strong outside and weak inside, keep in formation, go!"
Walking to the foot of a mountain beam, I looked around, only to see the white mist disappearing, the mountains were blue and black, and the rocks were all over the ground. A small stream of rain flooded the road, and the murky water flowed loudly, and the sound was particularly harsh.
Zhao Ziming was thinking about which way to go, when he suddenly heard Tie Niu's exclamation of "ah", turned his head to look, and his heart suddenly seemed to be pinched by someone, and it suddenly contracted.
On the steep hillside on the left, a giant python as thick as half a foot slowly swam down, its huge body crushing the ground, and the rubble flew and rustled.
How had everyone ever seen such a huge python? They were all so frightened that their bodies trembled, and they didn't dare to breathe.
The giant python held its head high, the snake was swallowing, and it stopped in the sky above the iron bull, condescending, and its dark blue pupils exuded a faint light.
Suddenly, the giant python moved, as fast as lightning, and Zhao Ziming could only see a shadow flashing. Tie Niu's face turned pale, and he firmly held his portable weapon in his hand, but this axe, which weighed more than thirty pounds, could not bring him any sense of security at the moment.
Just now, the lone wolf gang disciple beside him entered the mouth of the python, half of his body was still outside, his legs were still kicking, but he couldn't make a sound.
The giant python tilted its head, and the person in its mouth was swallowed by it, and looked down on everyone in the same posture.
After a while, the python moved again, slammed down, and headed straight for the iron bull. After all, Tie Niu is a sixth-layer master, and at the moment of life and death, he shouted violently, holding an axe in both hands, and slashing upwards obliquely.
Symphony of gold and iron!
A few sparks burst out, and the body of the iron bull flew upside down, and the axe in his hand fell into the pile of stones, and there were a few gaps in the blade of the axe!
The giant python hissed twice, as if it recognized the iron bull, chased after it, arched its body, and as soon as the letter spit out, he opened his mouth to bite off.
Tie Niu's face was like ashes, in the collision just now, he seemed to have been hit by a 10,000-pound boulder, and now his whole body was soft, and he couldn't use any strength, so he could only watch.
Boom!
A stone the size of a basin flew and smashed on the python's head, shattering into small pieces. The python turned its head and screamed at the stone-thrower.
Zhao Ziming's heart was beating wildly, and he felt a strong aura of death enveloping him, and before he could think about it, he mentioned the strength of breastfeeding, and ran away.
A man and a python disappeared between the criss-crossing mountain beams.
"Whew. Zhao Ziming gasped violently, his throat seemed to be on fire, and the muscles in his legs began to disobey the call, spasmodic from time to time, and with the support of willpower, he could continue to run.
He had been on the run for half an hour, running with all his might for so long, he didn't know how far he had gone, and before that, he would never have imagined.
The rumbling noises behind him continued one after another, and in front of the huge body of the giant python, whether it was an ancient tree hugging each other or a rock that could not be eroded by wind and rain, it was as fragile as paper.
Zhao Ziming turned around, trying to buy himself a little time with the help of the obstacles in the forest, but the giant python didn't eat this set at all, and went on a rampage, with an amazing speed.
If it weren't for Zhao Ziming's clever mind, how could he have escaped until now.
Throwing stones to save people before, but he didn't want to see the brothers who fought side by side with him die in the mouth of the python, but he didn't expect the python to be so powerful.
Knowing this, he may not have the courage to save people, Zhao Ziming thought in his heart.
In front of him is a mountain stream, located in a low place, wide and wide, Zhao Ziming did not hesitate at all, kicked heavily under his feet, jumped high and jumped down.
The giant python had just come out of the woods, and it couldn't chase Zhao Ziming as its prey for a long time, and it was extremely angry, and with a flick of its body, the long python's tail swept out.
Zhao Ziming was shocked, with a wave of his right hand, the big knife in his hand went down and collided with the python tail.
How powerful was the angry blow of the giant python? Zhao Ziming's half of his body immediately lost consciousness, the big knife fell out of his hand, and the whole person flew in the direction of the mountain stream.
The giant python's body coiled, and then with a violent flick, it flew up in the air, caught up with Zhao Ziming, opened its big mouth full of fangs and bit it.
Zhao Ziming was in mid-air, his whole body was numb, in the face of this situation, where was there any other way than to close his eyes and wait for death?
"I'm not reconciled. He pursed his lips and muttered.
"Amitabha. ”
At this moment, Zhao Ziming suddenly heard a Buddha horn, and then, he felt that his body was light, and the head of the giant python, which was originally close at hand, was getting farther and farther away from him.
With his feet on the ground, Zhao Ziming was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, and bowed to a person standing beside him, "Thank you Master for saving me." ”
This person is very old, with white eyebrows, no hair on the top of his head, only nine ring scars, a thin monk's robe, a bamboo basket on his back, and a wooden staff in his right hand.
The old monk's face was solemn, and he pushed Zhao Ziming with his left hand, "Please stay away from here, this giant python is close to psychic, and the old man is not sure to deal with it, for fear of affecting the donor." ”
When Zhao Ziming heard this, he hurriedly moved his body and retreated to the side, and with this movement, the muscles of his whole body seemed to be pierced into countless steel needles, which made him grin in pain.
The old monk had no time to pay attention to these, all his attention was on the giant python, and his somewhat thin body looked insignificant in front of the giant python.
The strange thing is that the giant python that had no taboos before did not dare to act rashly at this moment, it swallowed its tongue, and its huge body slowly coiled into a snake formation.
The keen spiritual sense made the python realize that the new prey in front of it was not easy to mess with, and it smelled danger.
But it has been rampaging through the jungle for a long time, and it rarely encounters opponents, and even if it encounters a strong enemy, it is impossible to retreat without a fight, and it squirms and accumulates strength.
If you don't send it, it's just a fatal shot!
The old monk's strength is extraordinary, and he is the top master in the martial arts, but in the face of such a natural beast, he does not dare to take it lightly, and the aura that was originally extremely well condensed began to slowly emanate.
Zhao Ziming was awe-inspired, this inconspicuous old monk, his aura was even stronger than his master, and his own strength was far from comparable, and he couldn't help but have a little more hope for saving his life.
This confrontation lasted for a cup of tea, and the giant python's raised head fell down suddenly, its speed was as fast as lightning, Zhao Ziming was engrossed, and he could only see a phantom!
The old monk calmly turned sideways, and the wooden staff in his right hand pointed at the python's eyes. The python's eyes closed, and its huge head swept out. The old monk took a few steps back, handed his stick to his left hand, and pointed at the python three inches away.
The python took a hit, but its scale armor was too thick and hard, leaving only a white mark, and the pain was inevitable, but it was not substantially harmed.
The giant python's reaction was incredibly fast, and in an instant, a python tail fell silently from behind the old monk. The old monk listened to the wind and discerned things, and avoided it when there was no room for it.
This confrontation between man and python is the purest collision of speed and power. Whether it is the old monk's strength or the giant python's strength to suppress people, they all contain superb transportation skills, Zhao Ziming watched from the sidelines, and his understanding of the battle was greatly improved unconsciously.
At this moment, there was a hissing sound in the distance, and the giant python, which was fighting with the old monk, suddenly raised its head to the sky and hissed, as if in response, and then abandoned the opponent and hurried away in one direction.
