Then I heard her shout: "Listen, mountain monster, the riddle is: the thing on the well where the people draw drinking water - the wheel!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene in front of them changed suddenly—the illusion was gone, the azaleas were gone, even the stream was gone, and they were still standing in the open space among the flowers and plants where they had first seen the lantana, and everyone looked at each other.

Only Peony Yong clearly saw a black snake at the moment when the illusion disappeared, and disappeared in a panic between the grass and trees.

Peony Yong covered her stomach with her hands and said, "Why do I suddenly feel a stomachache, I have to go and make it easier." He stared at Ullah and croaked.

The two princesses gathered around and asked with concern, "What's going on?" and "Why do you suddenly have a stomachache?"

Ula quack came over to them and stopped them and said, "Stomach pain is not a disease, let him go and be fine." The riddle is answered correctly, the illusion is gone, let's hurry up and find the guards, there are more people, it is safer. We'll just wait there for Childe to come back. ”

Peony Yong nodded again and again, and said as he retreated: "Ula, you protect the princesses over there, and I will come when I go." With that, he burrowed into the deep grass and chased in the direction of the black snake's escape.

However, he chased about a kilometer away, and suddenly came to the edge of a cliff. Peony Yong stood there, looking at the smooth stone wall below the cliff and the rushing stream below, and he wondered if he seemed to have chased too much. Just as he was about to turn back, suddenly, a large black snake with horns on its head suddenly burst out and pounced on him.

The situation came suddenly, Peony Yong couldn't dodge, although he was not bitten by it, but his feet slipped, and he fell off the cliff. At that moment, he suddenly felt that as a flower immortal, he couldn't even know how to fly and go down to earth, what an unforgivable thing, and what a messy situation it was at the moment. It's not so much that he's angry with that black snake, it's better to be angry with himself! Now he's completely aware of his own half of the pound.

In his anger, he couldn't make his body change direction in the process of falling, but he recited a spell to let his Dan Divine Body float out, allowing the body to fall off the cliff in free fall. At this time, he didn't have time to think about the consequences, and he just wanted to fight with the black snake.

He used his mind to let his Dan God body rise to the top of the cliff, which consumed a lot of his strength. However, he didn't care about this, and when he saw the black snake that had become smaller at the top of the cliff, he was desperately speeding on the tip of the green grass and swimming towards the depths of the mountain, he immediately drew his "straw dagger" and chased after it.

Fortunately, the little black snake only cared about running away and did not turn back to fight, which gave Peony Yong some advantage.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, he saw Peony Yong waving his "straw dagger" full of green leaves, only to sweep, and after a flash of green light, the head of the little black snake was trapped. Immediately, he reached out and grabbed the snake's tail that was entwined along the branches, and the hidden knife drooped the snake's body, and after shaking a few times, the little black snake collapsed on the ground and couldn't move.

As the saying goes: "Hit a snake and hit three inches or seven inches", which means that the vital part of a snake can kill you immediately.

However, although Peony Yong was indignant at the moment, he didn't want to take his life immediately. It just shook and dislocated the joints of its body, leaving it in a state of suspended animation.

In Peony Yong's worldview, he recognizes that the existence of every life in this world will have a reason and meaning for his existence. No one has the right to deprive others of their lives at will. Now, he just hates it for its innocent intentions and evil deeds in the world, and he feels unhappy if he doesn't punish it.

At this moment, Peony Yong has already understood that this little black snake with horns on his head is about a year old, and he is a little young snake. Judging by its appearance alone, it does not seem to be a pure snake, and it is impossible for a snake to have horns.

Peony Yong shouted in snake language: "Little black snake, since you have some Taoism at a young age, why don't you cultivate well in order to achieve positive results, but you use this kind of fur kung fu to create illusions in this deep mountain to lure and harm people?!"

The little black snake was paralyzed and gasped, unable to speak.

Peony Yong sneered: "Aren't you very capable?

After a while, the little black snake said: "Xie Gongzi's grace of not killing! I originally just wanted to scare people and get some food and clothing, but I didn't hurt human lives." ”

"Why do you do that?"

"I—just—to save my benefactor, Yuan Bird's Egg. ”

"Saving the round bird's eggs? ”

"Childe, you don't know. The little black snake sighed decently and said, "I was originally the illegitimate son of a certain dragon king and snake girl Xiaoqing. Unfortunately, my mother, Xiaoqing, died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and I was abandoned deep in the mountains, and I was also seriously ill. When he was dying, he was rescued by a little boy with only one arm, Yuan Bird's egg, and brought home to heal his wounds. However, a month ago, the father of the bird egg died, and the mother cried and was blind again, and the Yuan family had to rely on the bird egg to support. He was too small, so disabled, too hard. That's why I'm like this in order to repay him for saving his life. There are many offended sons today, I hope that the son will look at my good face and let me live. ”

Peony Yong said: "You have no basis for what you say, how can I believe you? ”

The little snake dragon nodded as if prostrating, and said, "The little snake dragon should die! If Childe doesn't believe it, I can make Childe see it for granted. After speaking, it spit out a thick mist, and when the fog spread, it saw a small hut made of wood and grass in the middle, and gradually revealed a small courtyard. At this moment, I saw a little boy with a round head coming out of the stove house with his only hand, carrying a steaming black porcelain bowl, and handed it to an elderly woman who was sitting in the courtyard. I only heard him shout: "Mother, there is not much rice, you can drink a mouthful of porridge to satisfy your hunger." ”

Peony Yong turned his gaze to the little snake dragon and asked, "This child is Yuan Bird's egg?

The little snake dragon nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes." This is my savior. ”

Peony Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Although your approach is inappropriate, it can be regarded as well-intentioned. It's just that in the future, you can't bewitch the world like this and create evil. Remember?

"Surely! I must remember! It's just that what about the poor benefactor of the bird's egg," said the little black snake with gratitude and melancholy.

Peony said: "He will grow up one day and will support himself." Only now ... After a moment's thought, he took out the golden leaf that the four-leaf clover fairy had given him from his sac, turned it slightly, and immediately a hill of gold and silver treasures appeared in front of him. He put away the gold leaf and said to the little snake dragon: "These treasures are enough to use your benefactor when he grows up, so you can help him keep them and give them to him little by little." Can you do it?"

"Yes! I can! That way I don't have to go out of my way to get things back. The little snake dragon was about to jump for joy, he had come out of suspended animation and recovered his body.

Peony Yong said: "Thank me, I don't have to, the future will be long." Why don't you do it like this? Even if you have half the blood of a dragon, as long as you can resist the temptation of evil demons and demons, you will definitely not live in the mountains for a long time in the future. You will complete your act of repaying your kindness, and I will promise you that after 900 years in the world, I will come back to you to the mountain. Can you wait?

"Wait, yes!" the little snake dragon was simply overjoyed, and agreed again and again.

"There is one more thing," said Peony Yong, "because I am not familiar with the road in this mountain, tell me how I can go down to the bottom of the cliff?"

"Oh, Childe said he was going to find your body, right? He didn't fall and hurt himself, but when you were chasing me, a divine power descended from the sky and lifted you up. Go and see, he's lying on the edge of a cliff. ”

Peony Yong muttered: "You know this, no wonder you don't turn back to fight me." ”

The little snake dragon smiled cutely.

Peony Yong suddenly dropped a sentence: "See you in nine hundred years!" and ran in the direction of the cliff. I said in my heart: "And the accomplice, what is this? Shame!"

Peony Yong quickly returned from the cliff, holding a psychedelic grass in his hand.

He heard the voices of the two princesses from a distance, they were still nervously discussing the encounter with the mountain monster, and the big guy seemed to be relieved to see Peony Yong return safely.

Peony said: "I just found this plant in the valley, do you know it?"

Princess Ala Tenghua took it in her hand and carefully identified it, and Peony Yong hurriedly stretched out her hand to block between the princess's face and the psychedelic grass, and said, "Don't be so close! Because this is the psychedelic grass, it can make people hallucinate." ”

"Oh, is it?" said the princess, stretching her arms far away, and looking at them, "so we were bewitched by them just now?"

Peony Yong said: "Not bad. This psychedelic grass encounters mist and is most likely to grow. There were a lot of psychedelic grasses on the hills over there, and it just so happened that a thick fog came from that direction and surrounded us, and we were hallucinated. ”

Princess Mu Yizhen held her heart and shouted, "Oh, immortal heaven, I see." Scared the hell out of me. ”

The guards who were on guard also relaxed, and they all gathered around to look at this demon grass. If there really were mountain monsters and devils and the like, there would be no one who would not be afraid.

At this time, Ula quack said, "How is this... Before he could say anything, Peony Yong hurriedly called him: "Ula, don't come and help me, I'm still a little sick in my stomach." Let's get down the mountain, everybody?"

Princess Mu Yizhen said, "Yes, hurry up and go down the mountain." It's really not early. Don't miss it. ”

When Peony Yong waited for Ula to come over and support him, he whispered, "Can you shut up for me?"

Princess Alatenghua was still not very comfortable when she heard Peony Yong, so she ordered two soldiers to come over to replace Ula Quack, and helped Peony Yong to go down the mountain together.
