Chapter Seventy-Eight: Encountering a Poisonous Snake

Yi Dan Youming and Sheng Lu Niu rode horses through the mountains and mountains through Xinzhou and came to Wuyi Mountain, where "fairy mountains and spiritual water have caves".

Wuyi Mountain is located in the north of Fujian and is the highest mountain in the southeast. Due to the complex topography and pleasant climate of Wuyi Mountain, there are many kinds of animals and plants that inhabit here. The most common animal is snakes, and there are countless snakes, whether they are large snakes, small snakes, venomous snakes or non-venomous snakes. There is an ancient saying: the big insect is a tiger, and the long insect is a snake. It is said that the word "Min" in Fujian was created by a snake crawling into the door of the house. It means that in the land of Fujian, snakes can be seen everywhere, and even often crawl into the house. The Min people worship snakes, get along with them in a friendly way, and share this green home for thousands of years.

King Min Wang Zhi. In the late Tang Dynasty, during the period of secession of the feudal town, he was the envoy of the Wuwei Army, the Fujian Observation Envoy, the official to the inspection school Taibao, the Tongzhong Shumen under the Ping Zhangshi, and the king of Langya. In the first year of Kaiping of the Later Liang Dynasty (907 AD), Zhu Wen, the Taizu of the Later Liang Dynasty, was promoted to the title of Wang Zhenzhi as the Zhongshu Order, the king of Fujian, and the founding capital of Changle City (now Fuzhou City, Fujian, Changle from the meaning of "Chang'an Jiule" in the Book of Songs). During the period when Wang Zhenzhi was in charge of Fujian, he was diligent and thrifty, and he was virtuous in government. Rest with the people, lightly pay for the meager endowment. Build roads and run schools, persuade farmers and businesses. The wild southeast wilderness has been built into a paradise on earth of "Chang'an Jiule". Wang Shenzhi has made outstanding contributions to the development of Fujian, and has been respected as "the first in Fujian" by later generations. But the king knows that he is wise, but under his knees is a litter of dogs. At this time, he was already in his sixtieth year, and the succession to the throne had not yet been decided. So many sons and adopted sons, in order to compete for the throne, are staging a play, and they are deceitful. The drama of fighting for the throne in the dark.

Yi Dan and the three of them walked and chatted all the way. Listen to Nasheng Lu Niu. His experiences in Goryeo are well revilated.

"I didn't expect Sheng Daxia to have such a wonderful encounter, I really admire it, I admire it," Yi Dan led the horse and walked among the three of them.

"Hmph, I, Sheng Lu Niu, can't get used to those villains who tend to be inflammatory, and bully others. When you encounter this kind of person, you must see one and kill the other. Sheng Lu Niu led the horse with a hat and said proudly.

Given the last time in Huangshan. didn't have time to tell Kitanosu what she thought, so that until the heavens and people were separated, the other party didn't understand her heart's wishes. So Yi Dan thought about it and took advantage of this happy atmosphere. There is also Sheng Lu Niu's righteous and straightforward character. finally said what he thought in his heart: "Shandaxia is worthy of being a hero, and I admire and admire it." Don't hide it from the grand hero, he and his junior brother came out to explore the rivers and lakes this time, just to find the heroes with lofty ideals in the world and overthrow the unprincipled world of today's tyrannical beams together. Not only can you avenge your parents, but you can also seek a long-term peace for the people of the world. Build a world of aspirations. I wonder if Grand Hero has this idea?"

"I didn't expect you, this girl, to have great ambitions. But to be honest, it's hard. I've heard people talk about it a lot. They all have a fantasy of a beautiful world in their minds, but what is that beautiful world like? I Qufu Confucius sage said: never close the door at night, and leave no road behind. Is there a world where widows and widows are lonely?"

"I didn't expect Sheng Daxia to read Sage Kong's book, I really admire" Youming followed the steps of the two, saying as he walked.

"I don't know a single word, let alone read any books, but I often hear people talk about it. Sheng Lu Niu replied.

"Maybe it's the world that Sage Kong said, maybe it's different, but all in all, it must be stronger than the current world, where people eat people, right? Yi Dan said.

"I, Sheng Luniu, am a big old man, and my brain is not as complex as that of you readers, and I don't know what kind of world is the best. But I know that it must be that there is money in the pocket, meat to eat, food and clothing for every family, and everyone has something to provide for in their old age, that is called a beautiful world. If there really is such a world, it doesn't hurt for me Sheng Lu Niu to spill a little blood for it," Sheng Lu Niu said proudly.

"Great, so you agreed to help?" Yi Dan asked.

"Hey, I don't know how many days I can live like this, what's the use of talking about this now?" Sheng Luniu said.

"Then if Sheng Daxia's illness is cured, can you be willing to accept your request, ask Liang together, and build a better world together?" Yi Dan asked happily.

"If the wound on my face is cured, let alone begging for Liang, even if I go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, it can be regarded as a happy death, which is much better than the current appearance of this person who is not a ghost or a ghost. Sheng Luniu pressed the hat on his head and said.

"Grand Xia, please don't be presumptuous, your injury is for the justice of martial arts. I believe that those who know will never dislike Sheng Daxia," Yi Dan comforted.

"That's just people in the know, and when ordinary people see me, don't they also avoid it?" Sheng Luniu said.

"In fact, as long as people are kind-hearted, what does it matter what they look like?" Yi Dan said.

"That's because you have a beautiful face, of course you can say that, you can try to take my face and go to the market to see if everyone will dislike you?" Yi Dan hurriedly took two steps back, and the three of them leaned back with laughter.

"Sheng Daxia, seriously, if you can find the Divine Dragon Medicine King this time and cure your illness, can you agree to the invitation below?

"Of course it's no problem, as long as the time comes, you don't dislike me for being old and useless. Sheng Luniu said.

"How can it be, Shandaxia, you are strong and in the prime of life. If you are willing to accept the invitation below, it will definitely greatly increase your chances of victory. Yi Dan said.

"I can promise you first, but don't get your hopes up. In case my illness is not cured and I die after not long, then there is nothing I can do to help. Sheng Luniu said.

"No, it won't. Good people have their own good rewards, and heroes like Sheng Daxia will of course live a hundred years," Yi Dan said.

"I don't like to hear this, are those who die all bad people?" Sheng Luniu asked rhetorically.

"I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong," Yi Dan hurriedly explained.

"It doesn't matter. I'm kidding you, haha, haha..."Sheng Luniu laughed.

Since the last August 15 left Baoying County. Yi Dan and Youming came to Shezhou again, and then went north to the Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains and then turned back, this back and forth, tossing more than a month, and crossed the mountains for seven or eight days, and it was already the winter moon. Although Wuyi Mountain is located in the south, it is deep in the mountains after all. A chill hit you.

And Yi Danyouming and Sheng Luniu talked and laughed all the way, and they were happy. Unconsciously entered the depths of Wuyi Mountain. Then. I saw a group of officers and soldiers passing by on a fork in the road ahead.

"There seem to be officers and soldiers ahead, let's avoid them first and then go, so as not to run into those people and trouble. Sheng Luniu said

"Uh-huh. Let's take shelter behind this big tree," Yi Dan and the others led the horses. Hiding behind a large tree, but sticking his head out, quietly observing the situation ahead.

At this time, I saw dozens of men dressed as officers and soldiers of the Fujian State, pulling flags and waving their flags, and came to the road ahead very swaggeringly. The two men in the lead, on tall horses, stopped at the fork in the road and looked around. The two men were gorgeously dressed. is arrogant, and at first glance he is a prominent gentleman.

"Brother. This Wuyi Mountain is so big, where should we go to find the princess?" the younger man asked the other man.

"I don't know, take your time, I'm sure I'll find her." The older man said.

"But brother, the younger brother doesn't understand, why do you like the princess's little sister, he is also your sister, aren't you afraid of your father's blame?" asked the younger man.

"Although I am the son of my father, I have never been related by blood. I like the princess's little sister, it's not impossible, my father is generous and benevolent, and I shouldn't blame anything. The older man replied.

"That being said, the princess doesn't seem to like you at all. Let's work so hard to drive that Jing Yaotian out of Changle City, but the princess still chased him to Wuyi Mountain. I see that she only has that Jing Yaotian in her heart, and there is no place for you at all, do you think this can be done?" asked the younger man.

"Brother, why do you say that the princess only likes that Jing Yaotian? It's been so long, and I still miss him, and I have to come all the way to this Wuyi Mountain to find him. I was so nice to her, but she turned a blind eye, why? "The older man said emotionally.

"Jing Yaotian is the most beautiful man in Fujian, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face is like a crown of jade, not to mention that the princess likes it, but when I saw him for the first time, I was quite tempted. In the past, many ladies and ladies in Changle City rushed to wait in front of his house, just to see him. Our princess sister already likes good-looking men. The younger man said.

"Don't I have this chance in this life?" asked the older man.

"A person like you, brother, who is congenitally deficient in appearance, wants to win my sister's heart, I think I can only find another way. The younger man said.

"Isn't it as important that I give everything for her, no matter how hard I try to please her, than the good looks of other men?" asked the older man, unconvinced.

"Brother, it is a truth that beautiful women like beautiful men, and men like beautiful women. Our princess's little sister is the pearl of her father's palm, she never lacks anything, her only preference is to chase handsome men, which is also her due power as a princess of Fujian. The younger man said.

"Hmph, it's all because of that Jing Yaotian, he looks so annoying. If I can't find the princess this time, I will kill Najing Yaotian to vent my anger. The younger man said.

"Brother, I also hate those good-looking men, but what's the use? If we don't have the ability to take the throne, and when the time comes, if we really let the eldest brother Wang Yanhan inherit the throne, I'm afraid we will all die without a place to bury. Only when you have real power, isn't it up to you to decide which woman you want to marry when the time comes?" said the younger man.

"Brother Xian is right, we must have real power," said the older man.

"My father is old, but he has not yet appointed a successor, but he favors his eldest brother. If we don't find a way to get together and try to prepare early, I'm afraid it'll be too late to regret it," said the younger man.

"Brother Xian, after all, I am only the adopted son of my father. The throne is inherited by you, the virtuous brother, which is justifiable, and you should help your brother. But I have a small request for my brother, I wonder if he can agree?" the older man asked.

"Brother can think like this, the younger brother is grateful, if the brother has any request, please feel free to say. The younger man asked.

"For my brother, I still have that requirement, that is, I must get the princess and my sister. I will help you to take the throne, please do not forget your promise to marry the princess to me," said the older man.

"Of course it's fine, that's what we were supposed to say. It's just that we tried to drive this Jing Yaotian out of Changle City at the beginning, but I didn't expect the princess to still not give up. This time, we must kill Najing Yaotian and bring the princess back. After the matter is completed, brother, you can marry as many sisters as you want. The younger man said.

"Okay, then thank you Brother Xian! This time I must kill that male vixen Jing Yaotian. Look how he will confuse the princess in the future, huh. With that, the older man drew the knife in his hand and angrily cut off a branch. When the branch hit the ground, it hit a dead leaf, disturbing a poisonous snake that was basking in the sun on the dead leaf.

After the group of officers and soldiers left, Yi Dan and the three walked out from behind the big tree.

"Senior sister, it turns out that there are still male vixens in the world?" Youming poked his head out and asked curiously.

"Where's the male vixen? they're just talking about a good-looking man, don't you hear me?" replied Yi Dan.

"No, I only heard what these people were saying just now that there was a male vixen who bewitched the princess, I thought it was true," Youming said stupidly.

"You stupid boy. Yi Dan quipped.

"These people may be the royal family of Fujian, let's be careful, don't mess with them. The power struggle in the palace and the ups and downs of the sea have long since been seen in Goryeo, and it is really terrifying. Sheng Luniu said.

"How terrifying is it?Grand Hero, can you tell me about it?" Youming asked curiously.

"Anyway, it's cruel and bloody, and the six relatives don't recognize it. Hey, don't mention it, let's hurry up and go to the Divine Dragon Medicine King. Sheng Luniu said.

The three of them walked forward for a while, and Yi Dan stepped aside and walked among the pile of dead leaves. Suddenly, he stepped on a poisonous snake that completely blended with the color of the dead leaves. The poisonous snake was frightened and launched a fierce attack on Yi Dan, biting Yi Dan the calf.

Yi Danton felt his calf burn like a fire, like a knife and a needle, and fell to the ground in unbearable pain.

"Ahh

"Senior sister, senior sister, what's wrong with you?" You Ming shouted, stepping forward to help Yi Dan up.

"I feel like I've been bitten by a snake, it hurts..."Yi Dan said with an uncomfortable face.

Youming turned his head to see that among the dead leaves, a deadwood-colored, triangular-headed snake was fleeing in a hurry.

Sheng Luniu hurriedly stepped forward, helped Yi Dan and asked, "How do you feel?"

"This serpent... It seems to be poisonous, my leg is burning like fire, like a knife and axe cutting, it hurts, it hurts... Quick, help me... I can't die, Grand Hero. Yi Dan endured the pain and shouted with tears in his eyes.

"I know, Miss Yi, don't worry about it first, the more anxious you are, the faster the toxicity will occur," Sheng Luniu reminded.

"Senior sister, senior sister, what should I do? This is a barren mountain and a wild mountain, let's quickly find a town to see the doctor." Youming said anxiously.

Yi Dan endured the pain and tried to support himself with willpower to prevent himself from fainting.

"Senior brother, I can't die here, you quickly find a way to save me. I can't die yet, I still have a lot of things to do... Please, find a way to save me. Yi Dan touched his head and said uncomfortably.

Youming walked forward with Yi Dan on his back, shouting as he walked: "Someone, help... Who's going to save us, we've been bitten by a poisonous snake, help..."

Suddenly, on the cliff next to it, a person jumped down. The man stood in the middle of the road with his back to them, and did not speak. As if he had seen a life-saving immortal, Youming shouted to the man: "Help, good Samaritan, please save my senior sister, she was bitten by a poisonous snake." ”

At that moment, the man turned around. His appearance also startled Youming and Sheng Luniu. I saw him with red hair, green skin, purple eyes, and black lips, and it was difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts. (To be continued.) )
