Chapter 103: Woe and Blessing
The sun was scorching, and the wind in the town was hot.
The scorching sun on the face inevitably gives the illusion that it is about to be burned.
Maybe it's because the Vermilion Bird bloodline that belongs to the Jiang clan in his body is about to awaken.
Although Jiang Xiaoman felt hot, he didn't feel too much discomfort.
On the contrary, he seems to like it very much.
My mother said that sweating is detoxification.
People eat whole grains, unless they are immortals who preach the Nine Heavens and drink the dew.
Otherwise, there will be more or less turbidity in the body.
If you can sweat, it is undoubtedly good.
Since entering the acquired realm, although it is not really as cold and hot as the powerhouse of the innate realm.
But compared with ordinary people, it is also a lot better.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaoman has not experienced the feeling of sweating for a long time.
The crowd in the town gradually dispersed.
At this time, except for Jiang Xiaoman and the three of them, only the old man surnamed Fang and Zhou Mahu were left on the street.
"Jiang Shaoxia, you mean, you want to go down to the well to find the red python?"
Zhou Ma sloppily supported Fang Mo, looking worried, he felt that he had heard it wrong.
Therefore, he knew that the young man surnamed Jiang had excellent skills, and he had also seen the young man's light skills in removing dust.
But when he heard Jiang Xiaoman tell him that he wanted to go down to that town for the longest time and explore the ancient well that he didn't know geometry, he still felt uneasy.
Jiang Xiaoman nodded seriously, not as if he was joking, "Uncle Zhou, if my expectations are correct, the reason why Zhu Xianzhen has become such a red land hundred miles today is mostly related to that red-scaled python." If it is not found, even if the river water from the Lancang River infiltrates the land, it will most likely cure the symptoms but not the root cause. ”
"Jiang Shaoxia, it's not that I'm going to stop you. Zhou Mahu sighed and said slowly: "But...... However, the legend of that ancient well leads directly to Jiuyou, and it is older than Zhu Xianzhen, and the water that was drawn in the past had to be boiled before daring to drink it. No one has ever actually gone down, and besides, the big red snake is hovering in it, it's really dangerous!"
"Uncle Zhou, don't worry!" Ji Xiaoyue tugged on Jiang Xiaoman's sleeve, a pair of big eyes flickered, "Jiang Daxia is blessed with a great life, and if he is not sure, he will not go down to serve the big python as food!"
When he heard that Jiang Xiaoman planned to go down to that ancient well, as the first female snitch in Fancheng, she naturally had no reason not to go down to explore.
With ginger worms by her side, the little girl is bolder than anyone else.
"Boy Jiang, do you really want to go down to the Zhu Xianjing and take a look?"
Elder Fang had been closing his eyes slightly just now, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.
At this time, his eyes suddenly opened, his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the young man in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid that you will become the food of the big snake as your friend said." Or, even if you are lucky enough not to get into the belly of the snake, but the well is hundreds of feet deep, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to come up again?"
"Grandpa Fang, you are the clan elder of the town, don't you want to let Zhu Xianzhen come back to life again?" Jiang Xiaoman looked at the old man, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and laughed softly: "Besides, if I am not sure, I will not be reckless." ”
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
The old man surnamed Fang showed an inexplicable look in his cloudy eyes, stroked his beard lightly, looked at the slightly immature but angular face of the young man in front of him, laughed, and said three 'good' words in a row.
"It's really a hero from ancient times!" Fang Mo nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and said to Zhou Ma beside him: "Ma Hu, since Jiang Boy's mind has been decided, then simply follow his wishes." You go and prepare the ropes, go to the town and ask for them from house to house, the longer the better. ”
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Xiaoman and said solemnly: "Jiang boy, let's talk about it first, although the old man promised you to go down to the Zhu Xianjing, but before you go down, you have to inform me of the situation at home, and then leave a letter." If, if something really happens, the old decay should have an explanation with your family. ”
Jiang Xiaoman was slightly stunned, holding his chin in his hand, and nodded: "It's okay, it's up to Grandpa Fang." ”
The small hall was unhappy, and she suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become a little inexplicably tense.
The little girl put away her smile and looked at the young man next to her with some concern, and her heart became heavy.
"Ginger Worm ......"
She tugged at the corner of the boy's clothes, her brows furrowed together, and her big eyes were full of worry.
"Don't worry, I'm going to be a hero. A well, a big snake that is just a little bigger, it's nothing!" Jiang Xiaoman turned sideways, lowered his head and stared at Ji Xiaoyue's eyes as clear as a lake, and said softly: "Later, you don't go down, and wait outside with Miss Xiao." ”
He looked at Ji Xiaoyue, then raised his hand, stretched out a finger and lightly touched the middle of Xiao Tang's eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You have to smile more, it won't look good if you frown too much......"
"Nasty!" Ji Xiaoyue pursed her lips, patted off that finger, and hurriedly stretched out her two little hands to rub her two curved eyebrows fiercely, and her mouth was broken, "They are all infected by someone, they are all infected by someone!"
Then, she stopped her movements, stared at the young man in front of her carefully, shook her head, and looked serious: "I want to go down to the Zhu Xianjing with you!"
"You stay honest, pythons like to eat a little boy with fine skin and tender meat like you!" Jiang Xiaoman raised his hand and nudged the little girl's smooth forehead and refused.
He originally wanted to talk about the little girl, but just as he was about to say it, he changed his words again.
Ji Xiaoyue didn't admit it himself, and he simply didn't poke it.
Such a relationship, two people enjoy it.
"Bah, bah, the big snake likes to eat you the most, and as soon as you arrived in the well, you were bitten by the red python!" Xiao Tang was not happy, a pair of big eyes widened and glared at Jiang Xiaoman, and he said one word: "I, no, whatever!
Xiao Ying didn't speak all the time, she looked at the two of them quietly.
Every time Jiang Gongzi and Ji Gongzi quarrel like this, she always feels at ease.
She moved lightly, took two steps forward, and chuckled: "Ji Gongzi, Jiang Gongzi, I also want to be with you." ”
Before Jiang Xiaoman could open his mouth to refuse, the girl surnamed Xiao opened her mouth first: "Jiang Gongzi, don't forget, now how can I say that I am also a great master of the innate realm, and going down with you will definitely not drag you down!"
In the past few days, she has devoted herself to the practice of the "Great Day Rulai Sword Codex", and she has made rapid progress.
He has been able to initially grasp the extremely abundant Gang Qi in his body and turn it into his own use.
"I said, you two are causing some trouble, it's dangerous. ”
Jiang Xiaoman shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but feel that his head was big.
Ji Xiaoyue doesn't care, this dead girl is already 'lively by nature'.
But even Miss Xiao came to mix.
Ji Xiaoyue's attitude was very resolute, Jiang Xiaoman, who was staring directly at her big eyes, was furious, and said quietly: "There are many people, and there is great power!"
"It's nice to be young!"
Fang Mo laughed and couldn't help but sigh.
"Boy Jiang, and you two little guys, listen to me. ”
The old man stretched out his sleeve and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and said with a smile: "That well is just like what Ma Sloppy said before, no one has ever gone down since ancient times, and no one really knows how deep the well is. Therefore, now the well is dry, but if the serpent is still at the bottom of the well, you will surely meet the evil beast when you go down. Needless to say, you should know the dangers. ”
As he spoke, the old man took out a copper coin from his cuff, "If you want me to say, it is better to let God decide whether to go down to the bottom of the well or stay on the ground." ”
"This ancient coin has been with me for many years, and it is very spiritual. Later, I'll throw it up, and if it lands head-on, then the three of you can go down the well together, and you can be sure of worry-free. But if it lands on the ground on the opposite side, it means that there will be a big murderer, Jiang Xiaozi asked me to say that it's better not to even go down the well. ”
The old man held the copper coin in his hand and looked at the three of them with a serious face.
It doesn't look like he's joking.
"Okay!" Jiang Xiaoman thought about it and nodded in agreement.
He had also seen in ancient books that man is the spirit of all things.
The spirit, the gathering of all things.
Any old object, once a person wears it for a long time.
It will be contaminated with some spirituality, and the most important is mysterious.
The ancient coin had a cold smell under the scorching sun, and the naked eye could see something extraordinary.
The land of Kyushu is dedicated to the gods of the heavens and the worship of ghosts.
This rivers and lakes, thousands of martial arts powerhouse monks, seek to be the supreme heavenly way.
In order to have an epiphany, the sun will soar.
Jiang Xiaoman is naturally no exception, believing in gods and revering heaven and earth.
Otherwise, when he was in Fancheng, he would not have silently prayed to the immortal fathers above the Nine Heavens for Ji Xiaoyue to recover as soon as possible.
Therefore, if the old man really throws away the copper coin, it will fall on the opposite side.
Even if he is unwilling, he will never disobey the will of heaven and insist on going down to the well.
Ji Xiaoyue and Xiao Ying glanced at each other, and nodded obediently.
The three of them held their breath and stared nervously at the coin in the old man's hand.
At this moment, I couldn't even feel the heat in the air that was about to burn.
Fang Mo smiled, not caring about the nervous expressions of the three of them.
With a slight lift of his palm, he tossed the bronze coin high.
All I could hear was the crisp sound of coins rubbing in the air.
Immediately afterward, the coin snapped and landed on the hot bluestone ground, flipping and turning.
Eventually, the coin finally stopped flipping.
It's not positive, it's not negative.
It was erected calmly on the ground.
"What?"
The three of them were surprised and said in unison.
Even the old man who threw the coin was stunned and stared wide-eyed.
Fang Mo looked incredulous, and secretly said strangely.
This ancient coin has an extraordinary origin and does not belong to this world.
This is not the first time that the old man has tossed a coin to calculate good luck.
On weekdays, whenever the town encounters something important, and the clan elders can't discuss it.
Fang Mo will ask for this copper coin, and the final decision will be made by the results of the coin's landing.
But situations like today's are rarely encountered.
It's been years, and it hasn't been.
It is a good omen, and the bad is a bad omen.
The last time he stood up like this, it was a year ago.
"Copper coins are equal, woe, blessing, misfortune and blessing depend on each other......"
The old man muttered in a low voice, muttering to himself, as if reminiscing.
