Chapter 9: Monty Python in the Mountains
After the strange sound in the woods sounded, just as Li Yunlong frowned and stared at the mountain forest in front of him, a giant python twisted its body and swam slowly towards them.
Seeing the giant python slowly approaching from the distant mountains and forests, the master and servant couldn't help but gasp, and their panicked expressions turned into a complicated look of horror and helplessness at this time. As the python approached, the expressions on the faces of the two became heavier and heavier.
This giant python has a white body, a huge body about three zhang long and a long grinding plate, and on the small half of the body that stands upright, there is a dark red snake letter about two feet long in the snake's head, and a pair of big cyan eyes the size of a fist are round and staring at the master and servant who are staying in place.
'Hiss~' The giant python stopped when it swam ten meters away from the two, opened its bloody mouth and spat out the snake letter.
"Old~Master, you go first, I'll come~ to block this snake. Ji'an looked at the giant snake in front of him, his voice trembling.
"No, I can't leave you alone. Li Yunlong replied, squatted down and picked up a stone on the ground.
"You go quickly, master, Ji'an has no father and no mother since he was a child, it is the lord who has taken me in for your pity, not only for me to eat and live, but also for me to practice martial arts since I was a child, today I will fight to protect the lord well, in order to repay you for saving your life. At this point, tears flowed from his eyes, and the panic on his face disappeared.
The white python that stopped not far away saw the master and servant, its huge head tilted slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared in its big green eyes, and it moved like a person who was looking at heat.
Seeing the giant python's expression, Li Yunlong and Ji'an were stunned, they thought that the big snake would rush over, but it stopped in place and didn't move.
"Ji'an, did you find it, this giant snake doesn't seem to have any intention of eating us. Li Yunlong stared at the big snake three feet away and let go of the stone in his hand.
"Yes, sir, this snake is huge, it shouldn't be afraid of us, if it wants to eat us, it's afraid it will do it a long time ago. Ji'an slowly put away the sword he was holding tightly.
When the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and were looking at the white giant snake, a white-haired old man in shabby clothes walked out from behind the python at some point.
The old man had a long beard and an old face, and there was a big black mole on the left side of his face, and the white shabby cloth shirt on his body had turned dark gray because it had not been washed for a long time, and he was wearing a pair of mud-stained rag shoes on his feet, and his toes were exposed through the holes in the shoes.
It's just that although the old man is dressed like a beggar, his eyes are unusually energetic on his mud-stained face, and compared with the godless eyes of ordinary beggars, this old man's eyes are like a bottomless lake.
Li Yunlong stared at the old man for a moment, saw him standing in front of the white python and stopped, hurriedly stepped forward and walked a few steps, bent over and knelt on the ground and said, "May I ask the old gentleman, but he is an immortal?"
"Immortals?hahaha~" The old man laughed when he heard this, did not deny it, and then reached out to tidy up his messy hair and asked with a smile, "Old decay, am I like an immortal?"
"This..."Li Yunlong touched the back of his head, lowered his head and thought for a while, "Although you are dressed in shabby clothes, how can most of the supernatural people be able to see through us. ”
"Makes sense, makes sense. The old man in the ragged shirt happily agreed, and then touched the huge white python behind him and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
Seeing that the old man was leaving, Li Yunlong hurriedly got up and walked a few steps forward, and hurriedly shouted, "The old fairy is slow, Yunlong has something to ask for." ”
"Something to ask for?" The old man stopped when he heard this, forgetting Li Yunlong, who was full of anxiety, and said with a smile, "I'm just a bad old man, not an immortal as you say, I think you are the wrong person." ”
"You can't be wrong, you can dig this giant python, you must have extraordinary ability. ”
"This giant python was raised by me since I was a child, it naturally listens to me, I really don't have any ability, you go back to the junior." The old man replied lightly and continued to walk towards the mountains and forests.
"Old fairy, please, my son is in danger now, and only you can save him. Li Yunlong followed behind the old man, pleading bitterly.
"I don't know how to get medical treatment or access to the old man, how can I save your son?" the old man didn't look back, and his tone was unusually flat.
"Ai Banxian said that you can save my son, I believe you must have a way. ”
"Ai Banxian, who is he?" the old man stopped when he heard this, looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Listen, why does this name look so much like the name of a divine stick?"
"He is a Taoist priest in our meridian town, our house has been haunted in the past two days, I asked him to take a look, he said that he can't stop the ghost, let me come to this foggy mountain to find you. ”
"Ghosts, juniors, what ghosts are there in this world, it's just people's hearts doing weird. The old man smiled and shook his head, "I don't know the god stick you said, so you better go back." ”
Hearing the old man's words, Li Yunlong was directly stunned, before Ai Banxian said that Li Ge was haunted by a ghost, and he couldn't stop the ghost, so he let himself come here to invite the master. At present, this old man is consistent with the appearance of the person he said, which should mean that the person he said is true, but this old man said that there are no ghosts in the world, so what should I do now?
Just when Li Yunlong was in a daze, Ji'an beside him hurriedly said, "Master, that old immortal is about to disappear, should we chase it." ”
"Chase, must chase. Li Yunlong, who came back to his senses, looked at the figure that was about to disappear into the mountains and forests, and chased after him with the servants.
The old man in the forest was not in a hurry, and the master and servant behind him were in a hurry, but no matter how the master and servant chased after him, they kept a distance of five or six zhang from the old man.
After the master and servant chased after him for a while, the white python beside the old man in front of him turned around and burrowed into the mountain forest, leaving the old man alone, and after he walked for about a quarter of an hour, his figure disappeared into a dense laurel forest.
Looking at the old man who disappeared into the woods, his heart was anxious, and his steps were faster, and he arrived in front of the woods in a short time. There was a huge stone in front of the forest, and the words 'Lost Guilin' were engraved on the stone, and the two of them did not hesitate to drill into it directly.
This dense forest is very large, and the forest is full of laurel trees, which grow closely from tree to tree, and it seems to be very messy, but in the middle of the forest there is a path paved with gravel and about three feet wide.
After walking more than ten steps along the path, a fork in the forest appeared, and after hesitating for a while, the two walked into one of them. But after they had walked more than 20 steps on this road, three more forks in the road appeared.
I don't know how big this laurel forest is, Li Yunlong led Ji'an to walk in the forest for a long time, and after countless forks in the road, the two walked to the outside of the laurel forest, and beside them, the big stone engraved with 'Lost Guilin' stood abruptly at the edge of the forest.
"Master, is this forest a maze?" Ji'an stared at the big stone at the edge of the forest, with an incredulous expression.
"Master, that old man must be a master. Li Yunlong looked at Dashi with a look of emotion, and stayed on the spot with the servants beside him.
