Chapter 37: The Poor Serpent
The eighth day of the second month of the 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, Shenshi, Yingzhou Baqi Island]
The Yaqi Orochi raised his eight huge tongues high, and as if swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, a large cloud of thick "wine mist" spewed out in all directions. Those "wine mist" were full of intense snake venom, Zhu Wuneng had accidentally inhaled two sips before, and at this time, he was even more dizzy by the poisonous mist, his steps had staggered, and the three-toothed nail rake in his hand was also a little unstable. Seeing this, the big snake was unwilling to let go of this good opportunity, and the two snake heads rushed down quickly, attacking Zhu Wuneng from one left and one right......
"Second brother, be careful!" Xu Ke's long sword swung diagonally, forcing the snake's head backwards with a sharp and fierce "gold-breaking momentum". Taking advantage of the slight resistance of the big snake's attack, he hurriedly pulled Zhu Wu's right arm and shouted: "Let's go!"
The big snake seemed to be afraid of Xu Ke's sword aura, but he didn't chase after him. Xu Ke ran eastward in one breath and reached dozens of zhang away, before he stopped and supported Zhu Wuneng's fat body. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly said ashamed! He couldn't imagine that this big snake was so difficult! Although he and his second brother escaped from the battle circle by luck, this embarrassment was really something he had never encountered in his life.
"Second brother, how are you?, sit down, I'll help you detoxify!" Xu Ke asked anxiously towards Zhu Wuneng.
Zhu Wuneng waved his hand and replied, "Don't worry, big brother, I'm not poisoned!"
Xu Ke saw that his second brother was still dizzy and unsteady just now, but at this time he was calm as usual, and his hanging heart finally let go. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, this former Heavenly Court Divine General, his physique was really extraordinary! He had seen that the second brother had already inhaled a lot of poisonous mist, but after a while, he was able to return to normal.
"Big brother, do you still have anything to eat?" Zhu Wuneng touched his belly, which was no longer round, and asked Xu Ke with a bitter face.
"Second brother, we are here to kill monsters today, I came in a hurry, how can I have anything to eat?" Xu Ke had just let go of Zhu Wuneng, but unexpectedly, his righteous brother gave him another problem.
Thinking about it, for Zhu Wuneng, there is nothing more important in this world than filling his stomach in front of him. What's more, Zhu Wuneng was woken up by Xu Ke in a hurry this morning, and he didn't eat enough breakfast, and when he came to the island to fight the big snake, it was already the time to apply for a card, how could he not be hungry in his stomach?
Here, Xu Ke and Zhu Wuneng withdrew to the east of the battle circle. Over there, the serpent set aside the two of them, raised his head high, and looked around, as if looking for the man who was pretending to be a bonamaji. The snake's sense of smell was also the most sensitive, and after he sensed that He Mao was standing on the south side of the circle, he rushed towards He Mao as quickly as the wind.
When He Mao was in this predicament and was at a loss, he suddenly saw the big snake attacking him, and he had to use a method of escape in a hurry to escape. The big snake pounced into the air, and seeing that Yi He and Liu Sheng in the west were not far from here, his eight pairs of snake eyes suddenly became fierce, and he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Yi He Long......
Yi Helong secretly said that it was not good, he had the intention to escape alone, but after all, he was afraid of the identity of Yagyu Yoshio Left Guards General, so he had to grit his teeth and run to the west with Yanagi on his back. His own skill is not the enemy of the big snake, and at this time he is carrying another person on his body, even if he runs desperately, how can he be faster than the big snake? Seeing that the big snake of Yaqi is getting closer and closer to Yi Helong, the big snake's huge mouth is wide open, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them are about to be eaten into the belly of the snake. He Mao hid on a barren hill, and although he saw it clearly and was anxious, he couldn't do anything about it......
Xu Ke stood in the east, and saw that Yi Helong and Liu Sheng had reached the point of life and death, and in a hurry, he could no longer care about whether he was acting brightly or not. He immediately took off the green hat on his head and hid it in his arms, and no one on Baqi Island at this time could no longer see Xu Ke's figure.
Xu Ke secretly took a breath of true qi, ran like flying under his feet, and in a blink of an eye, he was already behind the big snake. The big snake's eight pairs of blood-red snake eyes were all staring at Yi Helong and Liu Sheng in front of them at this moment, where could they have thought that a "Xu Ke in the void" had already arrived like the wind!
Xu Ke ran all the way to the neck of the big snake, and suddenly took out the green hat like a lotus leaf from his arms and put it on his head. At this moment, He Mao and Zhu Wuneng saw Xu Ke's figure suddenly appear next to the neck of the big snake.
The eight pairs of snake eyes of the Yaqi Great Snake stared at Yi Wo Long. His two snake heads had reached out to Yi Helong's back, and he was about to eat Yi He and Liu Sheng in their mouths separately to eat him cleanly and happily. Suddenly, the big snake's ears heard a loud shout, "Break the gold potential!" A fierce sword aura has already been killed.
The big snake usually fights against people, and the most careful thing to protect is the place where its snake neck is connected to the snake's head. Just because although the big snake is huge, it is inconvenient to operate after all, if it is one foot away from the opponent, the snake neck is naturally safe, and he can use the snake head with all his strength, or hit and spit or devour and bite, and the opponent is extremely round, and he can still be invincible. If the enemy suddenly kills him under the snake's neck, the snake's head will not be able to protect it in a hurry, and the connection between the snake's neck and the snake's head is precisely the weakest link of the snake. This is the so-called "beating snakes and hitting seven inches" among the people.
At this time, the big snake would never have dreamed that under his snake neck, the weakest place, Xu Ke's figure suddenly appeared. He hurriedly abandoned Yi Helong, and the eight snake heads returned to defend together, but where was the time?!
Xu Ke put on a green hat, and when his body had just recovered its essence, he immediately swung forward diagonally with a double-strand sword, realizing that he was angry, and his true qi burst out from the tip of the sword. He shouted five times in a row: "Breaking the gold potential!", "Opening the wood potential", "Tearing the earth potential!", "Breaking the water potential!", "Swinging the fire!". This time, according to what the old man Shuiyue taught, what he used was the method of the five elements to restrain each other. I saw that the sword qi was swaying like rain, and the wind was gusting all around, and the sky was full of Xu Ke's sword shadows, and this sword technique was extremely domineering! The sword qi was invincible! In the blink of an eye, the eight huge snake heads of the Baqi Giant Snake were all cut off by Xu Ke.
The eight snake heads of the big snake fell to the ground one after another, and his huge snake body also fell like a mountain, and at the neck of the snake, the blood flowed like a burst of heavy rain, spurting out wildly, and there was even a burst of fragrance of dragon ointment wine......
"Second brother, use the demon refining pot quickly!" Xu Ke shouted to Zhu Wuneng behind him. Zhu Wuneng hurriedly rushed over, took out the Jingxing pot in his arms and threw it into the sky, and said in his mouth: "Taishang Xuanyuan, hurry as order! Demons and monsters, all for me to collect, collect!"
How could the Jingxing pot be willing to let the blood of so many precious demon spirits flow out at this time? I saw that the body of the pot had instantly become several times larger, and the mouth of the pot sucked violently at the broken neck of the Yaqi Snake. The huge snake body of the big snake and the seven snake heads underground all turned into a pool of blood and water, and were sucked into the pot by Jingxing Pot. But somehow, a huge snake head was left on the ground, which was not sucked in. At this moment, the pair of blood-red snake eyes on the head of the snake opened widely, as if they were dead.
After the Jingxing pot was sucked up, it returned to its original size and returned to Zhu Wuineng's hands. Zhu Wuneng checked the Jingxing pot and found that it seemed to be full of a large pot of spiritual blood. He couldn't help the strange fragrance in the pot, so he raised his neck to the mouth of the pot and drank several big sips, and after drinking, he took the treasure pot again
There is still a lot left in the jujug. He smacked his lips, as if he was reluctant to drink it all in one go, so he hid the Jingxing pot back in his arms. He stroked his fat belly, and couldn't help but feel extra satisfied. I only heard him smile and praise: "It's so fragrant, it's so full! Big brother, I can't imagine that this dragon anointing wine really lives up to its reputation, and the taste of good wine with good snakes is really wonderful!"
Forty jars of dragon anointment wine, which is rare in the world, were first sucked into the belly of the great serpent. The Yaqi Giant Snake didn't know how many years it had been cultivating, and at this time, it was all sucked into the demon refining pot. The world's fine wine is paired with the world's famous snake, just ask this world, where else can you find such a delicious and superb? Not to mention the nourishing effect of the big snake on Zhu Wu's ability to cultivate divine skills, this wonderful taste in the world alone is enough to make him have an endless aftertaste...... It seems that this trip to kill snakes, with such a rich reward at the end, Zhu Wuneng will no longer pouting and complaining about his futility.
Xu Ke shook his head and smiled when he saw Zhu Wuneng at this moment, since he crossed the Void Gate and went to the island with him to kill monsters, he had never seen him so satisfied. Xu Ke couldn't help but smile and patted Zhu Wuneng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Second brother, the dragon paste wine soaked in the big snake meat, such a delicacy has also been tasted by you now." You should be satisfied with this treasure hunt, right?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied!Big brother, compared to you sleeping with two women, it is still the delicacy of this snake spirit, which makes my old Zhu happy!" Zhu Wuneng also replied with a smile, and as he spoke, he stroked his bulging belly again, as if he was still reminiscing about the wonderful taste of Shicai.
"Second brother, can you stop talking about this matter from now on!" Xu Ke's face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly showed embarrassment. He said in his heart, second brother, why don't you always open which pot and which pot you mention? In the future, if you dare to mention this matter openly again, see that I don't twist your big ears?!
At this time, the frightened Yi Helong also turned around and walked over. He and Liu Sheng had already thought that they were going to die, but at this time, they suddenly saw Xu Ke kill like a ghost, and showed a wonderful swordsmanship that they had never seen in their lives, and cut off the eight snake heads of the big snake with just one move. This sudden change of strange peaks is really something they can't imagine. At that moment, Yi Helong and Liu Sheng knelt down to Xu Ke together, and thanked him: "Friend Xu, thank you for saving our lives! We will never forget Friend Xu's great kindness for the rest of our lives!" Xu Ke hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them, and Wen Yan replied: "Xu Mou's work is a mustard, why do you do such a great gift......
He Mao had also come over from a distance, he patted Xu Ke's back, pointed to the front and said, "Brother Xu, look, there is another friend of yours there?"
Xu Ke looked in the direction of He Mao's finger, but saw that where the big snake's body fell to the ground, a young man with a whole body appeared. The man was now pale and weak, apparently dying. However, he looks delicate and handsome, but he is a rare beautiful man in the world.
"Brother Shan!" Xu Ke exclaimed, hurriedly stepped forward, and hugged the beautiful man. He is none other than the "North of the Mountain" that he met by chance with Xu Ke in Kyoto City, Sang Kingdom.
"Brother Xu......" Shanzhibei opened his eyes, looked at Xu Ke weakly, and said intermittently: "Your swordsmanship...... It's amazing...... Senior Sister taught you, right?"
"Senior sister, which senior sister?" Xu Ke said secretly in his heart. He thought to himself that this sword technique was obviously taught by the "Yulu Weng" on the Jade Mountain, when did he become the "senior sister" in the north of your mountain? Could it be that in this world, there are still people who can make this "one-gas mixed yuan sword"?
Shannobei continued: "I can't think of it...... Before I die...... You can also see the exquisite swordsmanship of this gate...... I died under the sword art of this gate...... Death is ...... It's not wronged......"
Xu Ke asked in surprise: "Brother Shan, are you ...... Are you really that Yaki Orochi?!"
"North of the Mountain" couldn't help coughing twice, coughing up a pool of blood at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Brother Xu...... Didn't I say it a long time ago?...... My name is 'Yama Zhihachi'...... Taken together, it's the word 'Yagi'......"
Xu Kexin said, it turned out that he signed up for his surname that day, saying that his name was "Shanzhiba", and I thought it was because of the dialect of his hometown, but I heard it as "North of the Mountain". Although he was changed by the Yaqi Orochi, he didn't hide it from me from the beginning, so it seems that he is also a downright person. Speaking of which, the way I killed him today was to use the concealment of the Void Gate, but it didn't seem very bright.
Thinking of this, Xu Ke suddenly showed guilt on his face, and said apologetically: "Brother Shan, Xu was not your opponent today, but he was able to win you by luck, but Xu used a dishonorable means......"
Shan Zhiba shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Brother Xu, Shan knows that he is deeply guilty, and this day is coming sooner or later...... It's better to die in the hands of Brother Xu than in the hands of those people......" After that, he pointed his eyes at Yi Helong and He Mao, obviously, he still couldn't look down on those non-existent ninjutsu and the like in Sang Guo until he died. If he were to die at the hands of those warriors of the Sang Kingdom, he would not be willing to do so anyway.
"Brother Shan, Xu really can't imagine that such a handsome character as Brother Mountain could become a basilisk? Moreover, it is still an eight-headed monster?" Xu Ke couldn't help but ask again. With the meaning of his words, it seems that it is not the Yaqi Orochi that transforms into the Yagi Orochi, but the young and handsome Yamajihachi who accidentally turns into the Yaki Orochi.
"Ahem...... Brother Xu, Shan originally wanted to be a good person. How could I have a thought, and I fell to this point......" Shan Zhiba took advantage of the last breath of the big snake's aura left in his body, and told Xu Ke about his previous twists and turns......
It turned out that the eight branches of the mountain were originally a black snake at the foot of the Great Qianshu Mountain. Over the years, he was contaminated with the immortal breath on Shu Mountain, and gradually cultivated into a handsome human form. He admired the Taoism of Shushan, so he often peeked at the disciples of Shushan in the mountains to practice spells, and returned to his cave to practice secretly. After a long time, it is inevitable that his tracks will be revealed. The disciples of Shushan found out that he was secretly practicing his own magic, so they captured him and escorted him to the head of Kunlun Yuansheng.
The mountain branch eight thought that they were going to die. No, Kunlun Yuan Holy Body thought of the virtue of a good life, not only did not punish him, but also accepted him as an outer disciple and let him follow the same sect to cultivate. However, since he entered the gate of Shushan, he gradually developed a lazy heart, feeling that for a long time, he only knew how to cultivate like this every day, and life was really boring. In addition, with the habit of snakes to lie dormant and come out at night, he likes to sleep late during the day and go out at night, so that he is incompatible with his fellow disciples. After a long time, the estrangement deepened, and he thought that it was a person in the same door who deliberately rejected him because he was a snake spirit. is because the longer he lives in Shushan, the more depressed and unhappy he becomes, and the more withdrawn and irritable his heart becomes.
The more the mountain branch eight arrived, the more they gave up on themselves. He could not bear his lustful nature, and every night he had to go out and go deep into the prosperous land of the earth. He first relied on the Taoism he had learned, stole the money of the rich, and came to the tavern and brothel every night, spending all day and drinking, and indulging in excessive desires. Later, he was not satisfied with the fireworks woman, but also relied on spells to often enter the homes of ordinary people at night, and those young girls, all night long
Rain......
One day, he was shocked to hear that the master of the sect had learned of his evil deeds and was about to punish him severely. In a panic, he simply stole a famous sword from his own sect, panicked, and ran down the mountain. I didn't want to, but I still met his fellow senior sister halfway. The senior sister persuaded him to abandon evil and follow good, and returned to Shushan with him to ask the head master for his guilt. Although the senior sister repeatedly assured him that the master would not hurt his life, how could the mountain branch eight at that time believe it? Since he already had a tyrannical heart in his heart, he had actually fallen into the devil's path. In addition, he has been cultivating in Shushan for a hundred years, and his Taoism is profound. After the demon, Yamazhiba turned into a big snake with nine snake heads and nine snake tails.
After Shan Zhiba turned into a tyrannical and demonic hydra, he forcibly swallowed the famous sword of Shushan. He relied on his thick body and a famous sword in his abdomen, so he rushed forward to fight with the senior sister regardless of it. He fought with his senior sister for hundreds of rounds, but he was finally defeated, and was cut off by his senior sister with a sword. No, when he was out of strength and closed his eyes to death, the senior sister waved her hand and let him live......
Fearing being chased and killed by the people in Shu Mountain, Shanzhiba fled far away to Baqi Island in Yingzhou. Since then, he has made his home on the island and settled down. At the beginning, he was still grateful for the kindness of his senior sister and didn't dare to go out to do evil, but as time went by, he was finally inseparable in nature, and gradually became a big snake who was greedy for adultery. So much so that the people of the entire Sang country, hearing the name of the "Yaqi Snake", were all terrified and trembling.
A year ago, he heard that there was a treasure in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, called "Jin Hongyu", which has the effect of generating all things, and a drop of water can turn into a whole pond. He had previously had a snake head and a snake tail cut off by his elder sister with a sharp sword, and he had never been able to regenerate, which has always been a regret for his life. He thought of using this treasure to give birth to his own head and tail. So, with the skills he had learned before, he stole into the Dragon Palace and stole this magic weapon used by the old dragon king to rain.
Although he stole the golden bowl and returned to Yaqi Island, who could have imagined that although this magic weapon had the effect of biochemical everything, it was useless for his own end. He simply swallowed the golden bowl in his belly again, and to this day, he is still eight snake heads and eight snake tails......
......
After Xu Ke heard him talk about it intermittently, he couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Brother Shan, all kinds of greed and lust in the world are really harmful, if you had repented, how could you have today?"
Shan Zhiba knew that it was time to run out of oil and dry up, so he finally whispered to Xu Ke: "Brother Xu, after I die, those two treasures will appear under me. Jin Hongyu, you return the Dragon Palace, that ...... That day Yun Jian, please ask Brother Xu...... Let's return it to the master...... If the mountain can be reincarnated as a human being, it will definitely be ...... Sure to ......" He didn't finish speaking, his head and face were on one side, and he was immediately angry.
"Brother Shan!" Xu Ke hugged the body of Shan Zhiba, and exclaimed sadly.
However, in just a moment, the body of the mountain branch suddenly disappeared in Xu Ke's hands. Xu Ke had a golden bowl in his hand, but there was an ancient sword at his feet.
"Grass Pheasant Sword!" As soon as he saw the famous sword, Yi Helong behind him couldn't help but exclaim. At this time, although his head and face were covered with black cloth, his eyes were full of light. He hurried forward, reaching out to pick up the sword on the ground. At this moment, the sword was by Xu Ke's side, and he almost snatched it by doing so......
"Stop!" Zhu Wuneng, who was beside him, stopped sideways in front of Yi Helong, and shouted: "This sword belongs to my eldest brother!
"This is the sacred relic of my Sang Kingdom, the Grass Pheasant Sword!Pig friend, please get out of the way!" Yi Helong's eyes showed a blazing light, at this time, he knew that he was invincible to Xu and Zhu, but he still had to forcibly step forward and snatch the sword that regarded him as his life. He pushed forward with his right hand, intending to push Zhu Wuneng's fat body away. saw that Zhu Wuneng only moved his right shoulder slightly, and a strong force rebounded from the other party's shoulder. He couldn't hold it, and his body was bounced backwards for more than ten steps. He knew that with his own strength, he was definitely not the opponent of the person in front of him, so he hurriedly shouted at He Mao and Liu Sheng: "General Liu Sheng, Lord He Mao, this grass pheasant sword is the treasure of my Sang country, if you let Your Majesty know that the grass pheasant sword was snatched by the people of Qianguo, Your Majesty will definitely blame us!"
However, General Yanagi was silent at this moment. His mind is very simple, not to mention that they just saved our lives, even if I fight with them with you, do you think we can fight against them?
He Mao Zhongxing, who was behind Yi He Long, stretched out his hand to support Yi He Long's backward body, and said with a smile: "Lord Yi He Valley, don't forget, if it weren't for the help of Friend Xu and Friend Zhu today, that big snake would not have been killed by us." If Your Majesty knows that we have killed the Great Snake of Yagi, and it is too late to rejoice in the reward, how can he blame us?"
When Yi Helong heard He Mao's words, he knew that he must not be willing to help him grab the sword. At this time, there were three people on his side, and Yanagi was already injured, and the kung fu spell was originally the strongest with He Mao. If even He Mao refuses to make a move, he has no chance of winning on his own. He had to endure the "Grass Pheasant Sword" in his heart, and immediately bowed to Zhu Wuneng slightly, and said: "Friend Pig, Yi Helong is wrong, today we killed the Yaqi Snake together, the Grass Pheasant Sword...... Just give it to your big brother as a gift!"
"What can you give or not, this sword is my eldest brother's! You have the ability to kill the snake yourself and take the sword yourself, but now you see my eldest brother cut off the snake's head, but you want to grab the sword, you still have to be shameless!" Zhu Wuneng snorted with his nostrils facing the sky, and said with a mocking face. Obviously, he was extremely disdainful of this so-called "ninja" who was dressed in black and even had to cover his mouth and nose. If it was according to his intentions, his eldest brother should have waited until the big snake devoured Yi Helong before making a move.
"You...... You ......" Yi Helong's face turned red with anger, but fortunately he was covered with a black cloth, and no one could see the expression on his face. Yi Helong was about to rebuke angrily, but He Mao next to him stopped him. He Mao motioned with his hand and told him not to say more......
Xu Ke was still immersed in the lament that Shan Zhiba's eight lives were lost under his sword. At this time, he heard that Yi Helong had a dispute with his second brother, so he picked up the sword on the ground and said in a loud voice: "This sword is not any 'grass pheasant sword' of your Sang Kingdom, it is originally my great thing, called 'Tianyun Sword', it is actually a thing of the Shushan faction! This sword will be kept by me first, and after Xu returns to Daqian, it will be returned to Zhao!"
Yi Helong didn't think so, he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, and secretly hated himself, after you return to Qianguo, the sword will naturally be used by you, what do you say "complete to Zhao", you can't be a three-year-old child when we are all three-year-olds? However, he only dared to hate in his heart at this time, and his mouth was still silent. Seeing that He Mao was unwilling to support, he could only "swallow his anger" and be helpless......
At this time, He Mao seemed to have no intention of belonging to the Tianyun Sword. He suddenly pointed behind Xu Ke and said eagerly: "Brother Xu, look behind you!"
