Chapter Eighty-Three: The Python Spirit Snake
Yi Dan and the three of them followed the path guided by Zhi Qiu's mother, and soon saw the legendary Medicine King Peak.
Looking at Yaowang Peak from afar, it doesn't look unattainable. However, as the saying goes, "if the mountain is not high, there is a fairy", because on the top of this mountain lives a benevolent dragon medicine king, so it looks very different from other surrounding peaks.
There is a small river at the foot of Yaowang Peak, and although it is winter, the dripping mountain springs soaked in the moist mountain stream with abundant rain continue to flow into this small river from all directions. The water of the river is crystal clear, refreshing and clear, and a faint layer of green smoke floats on the surface of the water. As if to inform people, it is a warm and comfortable hot spring. Standing far away on the shore, you can see the fish swimming freely in the water. The riverbank is covered with grass and wild ducks are playing. Such a vibrant winter scene is something that Yi Dan Youming and the others have never seen before.
What surprised the three of them the most was that at first it was still a barren and dense mountain forest, but when they arrived in the area of Yaowang Peak, there were more and more people, and they only saw mountain people coming and going, some of them went up the mountain and some went down the mountain. The people who went up the mountain were either carried on their backs or supported by others, like frosted eggplants, and looked sick. Most of the people who went down the mountain were refreshed, and even alive and vigorous, with faces like peach blossoms.
Yi Dan grabbed a mountain man who came down from the mountain and asked, "Uncle, may I ask if you have just come down from Yaowang Peak?"
"Yes, girl, what's the matter?" said the old man.
"May I ask if all the people up and down here go to the Divine Dragon Medicine King to see a doctor?" Yi Dan asked.
"That's right, this Divine Dragon Medicine King is really a living Bodhisattva, he has been providing free medical treatment for the people of our Wuyi Mountain, and it is medicine to get rid of diseases, which is a blessing that our people have cultivated for several lifetimes. Looking at the appearance of a few people, they are also going up the mountain to see the medicine king, right?" As he spoke, the mountain man looked at Sheng Lu Niu, who was wearing a hat.
"Yes, old man, is the Medicine King on the mountain?" Yi Dan asked.
"Yes, yes, yes. But if it is not a disease, I advise you not to go up the mountain today, there are already a lot of people lined up on it, but don't exhaust the old man of the medicine king, go another day," said the old man of the mountain people.
"Okay, we understand, thank you, uncle, please go slowly. Yi Dan said politely.
After the old man left, Youming said happily: "Great, senior sister." I thought that this Divine Dragon Medicine King was another mysterious and eccentric. The old man, who is hard to find, is ready to search hard. I didn't expect to live in such an easy-to-find place, and it was also a living bodhisattva who provided free medical treatment to the people. Sheng Daxia, I think there is hope for your illness. ”
"I hope so, I didn't expect the Divine Dragon Medicine King to be like this, if I had known, I would have come earlier" Sheng Lu Niu also said happily.
"Didn't you listen to what the old man said just now? The Divine Dragon Medicine King has to see a lot of patients every day, so let's not go up the mountain today. Yi Dan said.
"I don't think so. We can go up and have a look first, depending on the situation, what do you say?" Youming said.
"Well, well. According to what the junior brother said, it depends on the situation. Let's go up the hill and have a look," said the three of them, and put the horses in the pergola at the bottom of the mountain. Slowly climb up the narrow road up the mountain.
The way up the mountain is almost always a sheep's intestine trail close to the cliff, and there are at most two people in parallel. When climbing halfway up the mountain. Youming stopped and wanted to take a break.
"Senior sister, wait a while, I'm too tired, I want to take a break," Youming said as he sat on a stone on the side of the road.
"Senior brother, how can you be so tired after climbing such a mountain?" Yi Dan asked, turning his head.
"I didn't expect this mountain to look tall, but it's exhausting to climb up," Youming said.
"Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, climbing the mountain is tiring to death. Don't you even know this truth?" Sheng Luniu said.
"What kind of dead horse running on the mountain, tired people from climbing the mountain?" asked Youming.
"That is to say, if you are in the vast grassland, the mountains that seem not far away are actually far away, but they are actually far away. The mountain is not high in the distance, but it is actually tiring to climb up," Sheng Luniu said.
"Sheng Daxia, you have traveled a lot of places, and the way you talk is different" Youming praised.
"It's just experience," Sheng Luniu said politely.
At this time, Yi Dan tilted his head, wanting to see how high he was from the top of the mountain. Suddenly, I saw that on the cliff above the narrow mountain road, there was a huge python, which was at least five zhang long, and its waist was comparable to a huge ancient tree. It stood upright, hanging from the cliff, and spat out a letter thicker than the sword in Yi Dan's hand, as if searching for something. It looks heart-pounding and creepy. The most incredible thing is that the big python seemed to see Yi Dan looking at it, and it actually stretched out the snake head, which was bigger than the door frame, towards Yi Dan.
"Ahh Sheng Luniu and Youming were shocked by Yi Dan's screams, and they followed her eyes towards the cliff, and they also broke out in a cold sweat. Yi Dan saw the big snake crawling towards her, her legs did not obey, and she involuntarily took a few steps back, but unexpectedly fell from the edge of the narrow mountain road.
She grabbed a rock from the cliff and stopped falling and hung in mid-air. This can frighten Youming and Sheng Luniu.
"Senior sister, how are you?" Youming stretched out his head and saw Yi Dan hanging on the cliff below.
"I'm okay, how are you doing?, is the snake coming?" Yi Dan could have flown up with light skills, but she was scared by the big snake and her legs were sore, so she planned to stabilize her emotions before going up.
At this time, the big snake seemed to understand that Yi Dan was frightened by her, so he turned the snake's head and climbed up the cliff.
"No, the serpent is back," Youming shouted.
At this time, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman on the cliff who was collecting medicine saw someone falling off the cliff below, so she said to the huge python: "Someone has fallen, go and save someone." ”
The big python seemed to understand the woman's words, wrapped its head around a large stone on the mountainside, threw its body down, and a huge tail threw off the cliff, rolled up Yi Dan's body, and quickly pulled it up.
Although Yi Dan was rescued by the big snake, she still had palpitations, and she was frightened, curled up in a ball, and hugged her junior brother Youming tightly.
"Do not be afraid, it will not harm you. "At this time. A woman's cry could be heard from the cliff above.
"Look, you've scared everyone else, why don't you go back quickly?" the woman yelled at the python.
Unexpectedly, the big python, which was more than five feet long, actually listened to the woman's words, lay its head on its stomach, obediently winded its body from the cliff, and crawled away.
The woman carried the basket on her back and walked slowly down the cliff.
came to the three of them, and finally saw her appearance clearly. I saw her square face with a convex forehead, a flat nose and cracked lips. In terms of mediocre appearance, it is polite. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to use the phrase "ugly appearance".
The girl smiled like a sunny smile and asked first, "Are you all right?
"I'm scared, may I ask this girl, why is there such a big python on this mountain?" Yi Dan asked.
"Don't be afraid, this big snake will never hurt anyone, don't worry," the woman smiled brightly.
Yi Dan patted his heart gently, as if he had not recovered from the shock just now.
"Girl, don't you know, my senior sister was bitten by a poisonous snake yesterday and has not recovered yet. So I still have palpitations. I met this big python again just now, and it really scared us out. Youming hurriedly explained.
"Well, where did you come from?" the woman asked.
Yi Dan calmed down. He replied, "The three of us just came from Huangshan, I don't know what you call you, girl?" Yi Dan asked.
"You call me Cita, what do you call me?" said the woman.
"Okay Zineda girl. My name is Yi Dan, and this is Sheng Lu Niu Sheng Daxia. This is my junior brother," Yi Dan introduced one by one.
"Are you all here to see a doctor at Yao Wang Feng?" asked Na Xinle.
"Yes, Miss Xinle, we and our junior brother are originally from Songshan in the Central Plains, and this grand hero was originally from Qufu, Taishan," Yi Dan said.
"So you've all come from afar. No wonder I don't know about this big snake. Citamine said.
"Is there anything unusual about this great snake?" asked Yi Dan.
"Yes, let me tell you the truth, this big snake was actually raised by the Divine Dragon Medicine King. Citamine said.
Hearing Xinle's words, the elf's Yi Dan suddenly realized: "I know, could it be that the word 'divine dragon' in the 'Divine Dragon Medicine King' is talking about this big python?"
"That's right, girl, you're so smart, the word Shenlong is referring to the big spirit snake just now," Xinle said.
"Oh, I also understand, it turns out that the Divine Dragon Medicine King is called the Divine Dragon Medicine King because he raised this big snake. Youming said.
"Yes, this title is an honorific title given by friends in the rivers and lakes and the people of Wuyi Mountain, but this big snake can be called a divine dragon, and the medicine king is also very happy."
"It seems that the status of this spirit snake in the heart of the Medicine King is also extraordinary?" Yi Dan asked.
"Yes, this great spirit snake understands human nature and knows joys and sorrows. No matter what you say or do, it understands everything. His mind is equivalent to that of an eight- or nine-year-old child. The people in this area of Wuyi Mountain all know this spirit snake, and the people who come to Yaowangfeng to see a doctor also know it, so everyone is not afraid of it. Because you are here for the first time and don't know it, you are scared by it. It must be guilty now, and it was difficult to run into the mountains by itself. Citamine said.
"I didn't expect this big snake to be spiritual," Yi Dan sighed.
"Yes, everything in the world has a spirit, but we don't perceive it. Zinaku said.
"Well, Miss Zinais is right, everything in the world has spirits, and we can't hurt them. Yi Dan said.
"yes, it was just picking medicine for me at the cliff. It scared the three of them, but fortunately there was no danger, and I ask the three of them for forgiveness. Citamine said.
"It's okay, it's a misunderstanding, I heard the girl say, the spirit snake still collects medicine, this is incredible, isn't it?" Yi Dan said.
"That's right, what I said is true, it knows more medicine than I know. Citamine said.
"Hearing the girl say this, you should be very familiar with the Divine Dragon Medicine King, right? May I ask the girl, who are you from the Divine Dragon Medicine King?" Yi Dan asked.
"It's not a secret, here is the third disciple of the Divine Dragon Medicine King. Citamine said.
"It turns out that the girl is a disciple of the Medicine King, what a disrespect, disrespect!" Yi Dan said.
"You're welcome, a few people have come from afar, what kind of illness do you want to see my master?" asked Xinle.
"Miss Xinle, we came to Wuyi Mountain this time to invite the old man of the Divine Dragon Medicine King to help Sheng Daxia diagnose and treat the injury on his face. With that, Yi Dan turned his head to look at Sheng Lu Niu, who was wearing a hat, and Sheng Lu Niu took off the hat and let Na Xinle look at his face.
"Well, this face is indeed not lightly injured, anyway, my medicine has been collected, or you follow me up the mountain now, and I will take you to see my master to see if he has any way. Citamine said.
"Okay, then I'll bother Miss Zina, I'll be bored," Yi Dan said.
"It's okay, you guys come up the mountain with me" With that, Xinle led the three of Yi Dan to the Medicine King Peak. (To be continued.) )
