Chen's mother does not object to Tan Guohua to hunt, Huangchi County is located in the plain area, there are only some hills with low altitude, more are tidal wetlands, there are wild boars, wild wolves and an amazing number of birds and birds in the jungle of the wetland, and there are no fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards, don't worry too much about safety, learn fishing and hunting early, it is good for starting a family in the future, and Pang Yuan, the future son-in-law, will also go, and the safety is more guaranteed.

Tan Guohua was a human being for two lifetimes, and he was a little excited to go out hunting for the first time, so he got some equipment for himself in advance: a rucksack made of coarse linen, in which was placed a hemp rope several zhang long, a water bladder, a fire fold and a bag of inferior gold sore medicine;

A short axe with a twin-edged edge, this thing can be used as a weapon for hand-to-hand combat, as well as for flying and injuring enemies;

a small bow of half a stone, ten arrows of iron-clustered arrows;

In addition, there was a sapper shovel that could be folded, and because of this shovel, Jia Blacksmith not only did not charge him any fees, but also promised to build him a twenty-tempered steel sword.

There was a light snow at night, which provided very good conditions for hunting, and the people who went out hunting had a rare breakfast, and then divided into two teams to set off, Tan Guohua's team, except for the quasi-brother-in-law Pang Yuan and the team leader Chen Liushu, the other five people were all village laborers.

After the dangerous bridge at the head of the village, four or five miles to the south is the dilapidated Xianweng Temple, when passing by the broken temple, Tan Guohua deliberately went in to offer three incense, he now knows that it is Zhang Guo, one of the eight immortals, who is enshrined here.

The people in the village often go out to hunt, and they are very familiar with the nearby terrain, where it is difficult to walk, where there are often wild wolves, and where the harvest is the most abundant.

The route chosen by Uncle Chen is to move forward along the low-lying Green Snake Valley, if it is in the spring and summer, everyone does not dare to take this road, because there are many poisonous snakes in the valley, and it is said that there is a cyan python with a thick bowl mouth entrenched in the valley, and now there is no need to worry at all.

It is easy to find traces of animal activity on the snow, and the first harvest of everyone is a hare, known as the first marksman in the village, Chen Zhi, shot it with an arrow, but the prey is not owned by him alone, but after returning to the village, it is distributed according to each person's contribution, and with his merits, at least half of this rabbit belongs to him.

About half an hour later, the Green Snake Valley came to an end, and a total of two hares, one pheasant, and five birds such as turtle doves were obtained, and Tan Guohua also shot a few times, but unfortunately his archery skills were too poor, and the opportunity was wasted.

Further afield is the lower rocky beach, where reeds and shrubs are everywhere, and in the summer the Yellow River can even be submerged, so it forms large and small pools, and in early winter, the ice is not enough to bear the weight of an adult, so you should be careful when walking.

Uncle Chen asked everyone to stop and rest for a while, and then walked through the low bushes and dry reeds.

Feet on the snow, make a creaking sound, from time to time startle flocks of birds, this is the best time to shoot, as long as you shoot a few arrows into the flock of birds flapping their wings, if you are lucky, there will be birds to fall.

Tan Guohua was lucky, an unlucky partridge was shot in the wing by him, and as for the sharpshooter Chen Zhi, the harvest was even greater, almost every shot must be hit.

In this tidal flat, where there are many birds, eggs can occasionally be picked up, and by noon, some people's pockets are already full of prey, but they have not encountered a large prey, not even a badger that used to be common.

"There's a big waterhole ahead, let's have a bite to eat on the shore and then we'll head back!"

Everyone followed Uncle Chen to the waterhole, which covers an area of about ten acres, is oval-shaped, and has a thin layer of ice floes on the surface.

Most of the dry food that everyone brought was vegetable cakes and other things, and now they have long been frozen cold and dry, and here is firewood, and everyone sets up a fire to roast and eat.

Before the cake could be baked, the birds in a nearby bush suddenly flapped their wings and flew out, and even a layman like Tan Guohua could guess that there was a situation there.

"Be on guard!"

Some of them wound their bows and arrows, while others drew their weapons.

The howl of a wild boar brightens everyone's eyes, and if a wild boar can be captured, the hunt will be complete.

"Don't act rashly!" Uncle Chen stopped the two who were about to rush towards the bushes.

At this time, everyone also realized that the situation was wrong, because the wild boar let out a heart-rending howl, which was clearly a movement that only occurs when it is under a mortal threat.

Because the distance was still far away, Tan Guohua couldn't know what was happening, but his sense of smell was extremely keen, he had already smelled blood, and even sensed an inexplicable oppressive force, almost out of instinct, he took out the double-edged short axe.

The howl of the wild boar became weaker and weaker, and then the sound of the grass being crushed, and after a while, everyone saw a terrifying scene, a cyan python thicker than an adult's thigh swam over, the blood at the corner of the mouth was not dry, and the long tongue made a "silky" sound.

"It's the big python of the Green Snake Valley, let's go!" At this time, no one explored why the giant python would come out to forage for food at this time, and in the face of such an existence, there was no resistance at all, ignoring the food that had been roasted on the river beach, picking up the bag and fleeing along the way it came.

Tan Guohua felt that his legs and feet were a little weak, he had heard the legend of the green python, and he had also seen similar creatures in film and television dramas, but when he was there, the feeling was completely different, fortunately, Pang Yuan dragged him, so he didn't fall.

The giant python showed a bloodthirsty light, and its huge body actually jumped up directly, and it was a foot or two away at once, making everyone feel like a ghost, wouldn't it be possible to catch up soon?

The more worried you are, the more things tend to happen, but after a while, the python has already rushed to the front of everyone, and the front half of its body stands upright, looking like it is choosing people to eat.

Suddenly, those blood-red eyes stared at Tan Guohua, and then showed an anthropomorphic greedy look, and his body twisted and opened his huge mouth.

"Do it!" is worthy of being a man who has experienced life and death on the field, Uncle Chen Liu dragged the knife with one arm and rushed forward first, but his speed could not catch up with Chen Zhi's bow and arrow, a stone hard bow, the bow pulled the full moon, and with a "whoosh" sound, he went straight to the seven inches of the cyan python.

The giant python twisted slightly, dodged the feather arrow, and then flicked its tail forward and hit Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen blocked with a horizontal knife, but he didn't want this tail to be so powerful that he even flew out with a knife, and only a shallow knife mark was left on the tail.

The others also shot one after another, and an arrow was accurately shot at the giant python, but the strength was not enough to be bounced away, and as soon as he approached with the intention of slashing at close range, he was frightened by the giant tail that swept back and retreated sharply.

"Brother Pang, attack its abdomen!" It was Tan Guohua who reminded loudly, at this time he was not far from the giant python, and the "third eye" keenly caught a deep scar on the abdomen of the giant python.

Pang Yuan, who went around to the side of the giant python, was not inferior to Uncle Chen Liu's fighting experience, and rolled forward, just avoiding the sweep of the giant tail.

The cyan python shook its head, just now it resisted a blow with its head, of course he would not let go of the prey sent to his mouth, he opened his mouth to bite, and a figure jumped high at this time, and the axe blade in his hand exuded a cold light.

The giant python sensed the threat, its head changed direction halfway, changed its bite to a collision, and its small body was knocked away by it, but it won life for Pang Yuan, and took the opportunity to roll on the spot.

Tan Guohua's qi and blood were surging, but fortunately, the giant python temporarily changed direction and did not have much strength, otherwise this collision was enough to make him unable to get up for a long time.

Uncle Chen Liu had already stood up with difficulty, holding a knife to confront the giant python, Chen Zhi's bowstring was full again, and the others were holding knives and guns on both sides, and the formation was opened, but whether they could get out of the mouth of the giant python, no one knew the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, suddenly a red figure flew in, yes, it flew over, and where the figure passed, the branches and reeds of the shrubs were only slightly shaking, others may not be able to see clearly, but Tan Guohua saw the dragonfly leaping process really clearly, and the shock in his heart was incomprehensible, he longed for a free and easy chivalrous life in his previous life, but he didn't think that the light skills in martial arts novels were real, at most they were a little bit stronger than "parkour", but now it is proved that this light skills are indeed against "scientific common sense".

At the same time, the memory of the "old fairy" of the broken temple became clear again, half a year was enough to make people forget something, he once thought that the "old fairy" was just a dream of his, but now it seems that it is not a dream.

A woman in red came, and scolded, "Evil animal, see where you are still fleeing", and a narrow long sword stabbed at the seven inches of the giant python.

The giant python was obviously very afraid of this woman, so it suddenly ran away and fled in the direction of the jungle, and the figure of the woman in red twisted, turning into a string of afterimages, blocking the front in an instant.

The giant python broke out, swept its giant tail, and opened its mouth at the same time.

The woman rose up on the spot, her body turned upside down, and the thin sword went straight into the python's mouth like a flying fairy outside the sky.

The python immediately changed its bite to a collision and knocked the sword away, but it left a clear sword mark on its head...

One person and one python are fighting in one place, and even the croppers who don't know martial arts can see that the slender girl in red has the absolute upper hand, so everyone is not in a hurry to run and watch the battle from afar.

The most excited was Pang Yuan, seeing his excitement, Tan Guohua couldn't help but snort coldly, finally this guy was still worried that he was the future "brother-in-law" next to him, and hurriedly said: "Brother Hua, do you know who this is?"

"Who's who? prettier than my sister, isn't it?"

"Don't think nonsense, this is Mei Ruoqian, a woman from the Wangwu faction known as 'a plum in the Central Plains'. ”

"Is the Wangwu faction a sect that teaches martial arts?"

Pang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I heard that not only martial arts are taught, but also immortal methods are taught, but they pay attention to the root bones and fate of the law when they accept disciples, and I won't tell you that my brother and a few friends have been to the Wangwu faction together, but none of them can get into their eyes!"

"Are there many sects like this?"

"I've only heard of a few, in addition to the Wangwu faction, it is still Kunlun, Shushan and other factions!"

"Is there any Shaolin?"

"Shaolin, you say it's the Shaolin Temple in Songshan?"

"Yes, isn't Shaolin a big sect?" In Tan Guohua's mind, Shaolin and Wudang are definitely the Beidou-level existence of Mount Tai in the history of Chinese rivers and lakes, Wudang has not appeared yet, even if Shaolin is not a standout, it should be famous in the world, looking at Pang Yuan's face, it seems to be very disapproving.

"It used to be, but it will be difficult to say in the future, His Royal Highness the current prince Jin Wang does not like Buddhist things, the Buddhist temples in the Great Zhou are all suppressed, Shaolin does not listen to the dispatch, I am afraid that the future will not be easy!"

"Oh?" Tan Guohua couldn't help touching his chin, of course he wouldn't forget what was good in Shaolin Temple, if he could seize the opportunity, maybe...

He was thinking about a good thing, Pang Yuan's exclamation interrupted his thoughts, but there was a drastic change on the field, the scarred green python suddenly spit out a flesh-colored bead, the girl in red was caught off guard, was hit in the shoulder, the long sword also let go, and was swept by the giant tail, and she couldn't stand up!
