Chapter 53: Snake Repellent

When the two quarreled like this, the people around them all gathered around. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw that the sugar gourd stall owner was embarrassed by the two children, and they were all indignant, and said one after another: "Zhang Lao Crooked, why did you not have the interest to this point, and the two children did not let go?" "Your sugar gourd has always been a string of two pennies, isn't this a lion's mouth?" A few other people recognized that Lu Xiaoyuan was wearing a Shenglang faction uniform, and said, "This young man is a disciple of the Shenglang faction, and the Shenglang faction usually subdues demons and destroys demons for us to benefit one party, and you even cheat the money of the monks of Shenglang Mountain?" ”

The sugar gourd stall owner was unmoved, stretched out his hand, and said shamelessly: "Either take the money." Five strings of sugar gourds and five taels of silver, or I will send you to the government. You're a disciple of Shenglang? That's better, disciple Shenglang steals, see how your master punishes you. ”

"Five taels of silver? I don't have that much. Lu Xiaoyuan saw the treacherous and rampant villain face of the sugar gourd stall owner, and really wanted to punch him on his uneven facial features, but it was inconvenient to do it because of the reputation of the Shenglang faction.

Just in embarrassment, Ding Ding suddenly said: "Brother Xiaoyuan, he wants silver, don't you just give it to him?"

"Ahh

"The little girl has said so, you must have money on you, give the money quickly, otherwise I won't let you go!"

Ding Ding saw that Lu Xiaoyuan was embarrassed, so he took out a string of pearls in his arms, and said, "This is given to me by my sister, she said that this is worth three thousand or two hundred... Kindness.... Anyway, it's worth a lot of silver, this is for you, you are not allowed to bully the two of us. "Each of these pearls is as big as a pigeon's egg, pure white and flawless, and it is of the highest quality, and there is a small piece of gold star between each pearl, which is shining golden and beautiful.

Although the stall owner couldn't recognize the authenticity of the pearl, he saw that Venus was shining with gold and Yinghua was restrained, and it must be gold, so he stretched out his hand to take it: "Okay, give me this string of things, and I will let you go." ”

With a "snap" sound, Lu Xiaoyuan slapped the back of the stall owner's hand hard, and said indignantly: "Don't be a master and be a fool." He took the pearl from Tintin's hand, untied it, took out a gold star, and said, "This gold star is worth fifty taels of silver, enough to buy all your sugar gourds." ”

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyuan was not easy to deceive, and it was not easy to embarrass the two of them in front of everyone, the stall owner took the Venus stupidly and said, "Okay, spare you this time, let's go!" Ding Ding took Lu Xiaoyuan's hand and said, "Let's go!" casually took another sugar gourd from Lu Xiaoyuan's hand and ate it with relish.

Lu Xiaoyuan was cheated of fifty taels of silver for no reason, he was distressed, and gritted his teeth with hatred for the stall owner's behavior, so he didn't go any further, and took Ding Ding back to the inn. After returning to the room, Lu Xiaoyuan sat on the edge of the bed, and when he remembered the villain face of the sugar gourd stall owner, he became angry and smashed his fist to the side of the bed. Seeing that Lu Xiaoyuan was angry, Ding Ding put down the sugar gourd, sat down next to Lu Xiaoyuan, and asked, "Brother Xiaoyuan, who are you angry with?" Is it because Ding Ding is disobedient and causes trouble for Brother Xiaoyuan?"

Seeing Ding Ding looking at him apologetically, his two big eyes flashing with tears, Lu Xiaoyuan hurriedly comforted her: "No, it's not because of you, it's the first time you come to the cities of the Central Plains, and you're not familiar with the characters, how can I blame you?"

"What kind of silver are you talking about, is it a great treasure?"

"Silver is not a great treasure, our martial arts practitioners' top-level elixirs and weapons can't be bought for any amount of silver. It's just that in our Central Plains, no matter how you eat, drink, wear, or live, you have to exchange silver with others, or you will have to starve and freeze. Everyone in the world is running around and toiling for silver, and you know that fifty taels of silver is enough for a common man to live for a family for five years. "In fact, are there a few things in the world where people kill each other, kill brothers, betray their promises, and do evil things for money? It's just that Lu Xiaoyuan thought of Ding Ding and was young, and he didn't want to tell Ding Ding about this.

"I see. Ding Ding thought for a while, then took out the string of pearls from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiaoyuan: "This, give it to Brother Xiaoyuan." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan was taken aback, and hurriedly shirked: "No, I can't ask for your things, this thing is very valuable, you can put it away." ”

Ding Ding said with a smile: "The silver is useless with us, our clothes are woven by ourselves, the food is grown and hunted by ourselves, and the house is built by ourselves, since Brother Xiaoyuan needs silver, I will give it to you, isn't it just right?"

Lu Xiaoyuan wanted to shirk it, and Ding Ding said solemnly: "Brother Xiaoyuan, according to the customs of our southern Xinjiang, we give gifts to friends, and if our friends don't want it, they don't treat us as friends." You are good to me, I treat you as a friend, so I want to give it to you. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan saw that she was deeply affectionate, and thought that if she wanted to shirk it again, she would hurt the heart of this girl from southern Xinjiang, so she took the pearl, took out a handkerchief, wrapped it carefully, and put it in her arms. "Don't worry, even if I freeze to death and starve to death, I won't exchange this string of pearls for silver. ”

Ding Ding saw Lu Xiaoyuan accept it, and immediately smiled: "It's yours, you can do whatever you like." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Xiaoyuan was woken up by Ding Ding, the two had breakfast, Lu Xiaoyuan paid for the room and meal, and asked the shopkeeper about the distance of the Star River Valley. Knowing that this place is still more than 80 miles away from the Star River Valley, I can't help but frown and be speechless.

Although he separated the three of Xuanyin, after all, the three of them had mounts, and if they found that the situation was wrong and returned immediately, they would be able to arrive before noon today, and he would never be able to reach the Star River Valley before noon with Ding Ding. What's more, there are four Feng Yage disciples who are also heading to Star River Valley, and they are afraid that they will arrive earlier than the three of Xuan Yin. Thinking of Feng Yage's disciple's unstoppable face after getting rid of the monsters, Lu Xiaoyuan was disgusted, and he also regretted his behavior of deceiving Xuan Yin and the others.

Ding Ding saw Lu Xiaoyuan standing still, his expression was worried for a while, disdainful for a while, regretful for a while, and puzzled, and asked, "Brother Xiaoyuan, what's wrong with you?

Lu Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh and said, "Ding Ding, I'm afraid that if we go to the Star River Valley, we won't be able to meet monsters." ”

"Why?" immediately thought of the four Wind Pavilion disciples, "Oh, will those four Wind Pavilion disciples kill the monster before we do?"

"That's pretty much it, we're not as fast as they are. ”

Ding Ding's dark eyes rolled a few times, and snapped his fingers: "Don't worry, I have a way." Follow me!" took Lu Xiaoyuan's hand and ran out of the city.

Lu Xiaoyuan has nothing to do, so he can only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor to see what good way this little girl has. The two went out of the city not far away, encountered a forest, Ding Ding took out three incense sticks from his arms, pinched the soil and froze, two white jade-like little hands covered the incense head, did not contact the incense head, slowly luck, after a while the incense head burned, yellow smoke, purple smoke, green smoke three kinds of smoke swirling, along the breeze into the woods.

Lu Xiaoyuan praised: "I didn't expect that you were so powerful in your true qi cultivation at such a young age, and you could gather qi to make fire." ”

Ding Ding looked back and smiled, and said, "The true qi I practice is biased towards the fire spirit, and the incense is mixed with bisulfon, so it will be urged." My True Qi cultivation is very weak. ”

Only then did Lu Xiaoyuan understand. The true qi practiced by the five sects of the righteous path is a balance of the five spirits, and it is believed that the cultivation of true qi should be cultivated by the five spirits in order to achieve the effect of the five spirits biochemically. Ding Ding's cultivation of true qi is extremely heavy in the spirit of fire, and the other four spirits are extremely weak, so he can gather qi to make fire.

After a while, only to hear the sound of "rattling", Lu Xiaoyuan looked at the ground, and couldn't help but be surprised: all kinds of poisonous snakes are swimming out of the woods, these poisonous snakes are big and small, the small ones are only the little fingers, but the big ones are as long as a zhang, the thickness of the bowl mouth, and there are many colors, gold, black, cyan, silver, colorful, and the appearance is even more varied, some have horns on their heads, some have two heads, and some have a row of small thorns along the snake's spine.

These poisonous snakes swim in front of the three incense sticks and stop moving, raising their heads and slapping their tails on the ground, as if worshipping the gods. If this kind of strange scene is seen by ordinary people, they are afraid that they will be scared and pass out.

Lu Xiaoyuan looked at the group of snakes, and thought of the scene where Yu Lizhou drove poisonous insects in the imperial capital Samye Temple, but in the suburbs and wilderness, thousands of poisonous snakes acted together, full of flowers, far more spectacular than the surging of poisonous insects in the hut.

Ding Ding was not afraid at all, plucked up the three sticks of incense, pursed his lips and whistled, and the snakes fell silent. Tintin let out an "um", as if he was very satisfied with the reaction of the snakes. Extinguish the three sticks of incense and put them back in your arms. Pick and choose among the snakes, and pick out sixteen snakes that are about a foot long, and these sixteen snakes are divided into eight species, two of each.

She whistled again, and in a slight difference from the previous one, except for the sixteen snakes, the rest of the long snakes returned to the forest. The snakes come and go like the ebb and flow of the tide, and they are as orderly and orderly as a trained army. turned back to Lu Xiaoyuan and said, "Brother Xiaoyuan, let's use them as mounts." ”

"You're going to ride these big long worms?" Lu Xiaoyuan couldn't believe his ears. "If these long worms are hungry, they are afraid that they will swallow us in one bite. Lu Xiaoyuan looked at the body of the long snake, and then at Ding Ding's petite figure, and was more sure of his opinion.

"It's okay, they listen to me and don't eat people casually. Tintin jumped, and two long snakes of the same species burrowed into her feet like lightning, and Tintin landed steadily on the two long snakes. "It's okay, it's fun, you can give it a try!" said him, leaning forward slightly, and the long snake swam forward, and at this moment they were carrying human weights, not as fast as lightning, but also like flying against the wind. The long snake carried Ding Ding as a lightning bolt and swam left and right, and when it reached ten zhang away, it turned around and swam back in front of Lu Xiaoyuan in a straight line, back and forth for only a moment.
