Chapter 10: Cutting the Snake

The big turtle seemed to demonstrate that it was not easy to provoke, and then it swam back slowly, the red bull lying on the turtle shell in a daze was not to be outdone, the limbs kicked the tortoise shell, the phosphorus thorns protruded, the small head stared at the head of the big turtle viciously, let out a roar, and was helpless for a while, this guy is aggressive, but it seems that his brain is not good, he can't beat it and is so arrogant, I didn't see the big turtle so big and still a fart.

Ping An pointed to the surface of the water, and said angrily: "Hey, Red Bull, let's go play in the water." Red Bull blinked, hesitated, and Ping An smiled dumbly: "Go, go, go, I'm safe here, my life is saved by this big turtle, it's okay." ”

Red Bull then trotted to the edge of the turtle shell and jumped lightly into the water, swam around the big turtle and swam over, showing off his speed, the big turtle never squinted, ignoring this little guy, the red bull was not interested, so he had to dive into the water by himself, and suddenly surfaced in another place, playing with relish.

Ping'an patted the turtle's back and said gratefully: "Brother Yuan, the grace of saving your life has not been repaid, today you lent me the Book of Heaven to read, I am really a little embarrassed, say, what do you want to eat, I will ask my sister to make it for you when I go back to the shore, I don't know if you like to eat meat or vegetarian, anyway, I am full, hey, I am not a person who does not repay the gratitude." After speaking, I was a little embarrassed and secretly thought, village chief, you shouldn't feel distressed if the auspicious beast in your village wants to eat something.

The big turtle still didn't respond, Ping An looked around a little bored, and suddenly found that there was a bloody and blurry scar on the head of the big turtle, the scar was about the same color as the head, and if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't find it, what did this big turtle fight with?

Ping An was thinking about it, the red bull floated up from the water, and the invitation seemed to be towards Ping An Nu mouth, Ping An took a closer look, the red bull actually had a carp on his mouth, Ping An watched the red bull swallow the whole carp into his stomach cleanly and spit out the whole fish bone, the little belly was round and bulging, and he couldn't help but secretly curse that he was really a foodie, and suddenly he said to himself that something was wrong: "Where did the fish come from?"

Ping An was puzzled: "Brother Yuan, what's the matter, has that python already left here?"

The big turtle shook its head, and with the strength of its limbs, it sped up and swam towards the shore, and Ping'an held the tortoise shell hard so that it was not shaken into the water by the sudden acceleration of the big turtle, and I don't know what the big turtle is crazy about.

Red Bull was also taken aback by the big turtle's actions, and hurriedly fluttered its short limbs to follow behind the big turtle.

Ping An could already vaguely see the figures of Narcissus and the village chief and others on the shore, he breathed a sigh of relief, this big turtle behaved abnormally, he didn't know what it was doing at all, but fortunately, it was getting closer and closer to the shore, and he landed on the shore, saying that he would not say anything about the back of this big turtle again.

Ping An is in the belly slander of the big turtle is a little weird, the nerves, the big turtle suddenly dived into the water again, fortunately, Ping An has long been prepared, when he entered the water, he has long held his breath, this time he did not drink the river water, secretly proud that he was prescient, Ping An was not in a hurry underwater, and even had time to observe the underwater scenery, this is not good, at a glance was shocked, a mind was uncertain and drank several sips of river water, and the long sword in his hand almost came out.

Under the river, Ping An saw through the clear river water that there were strange-shaped rocks at the bottom of the river, growing lush aquatic plants, and a giant python with dark green eyes crawling on a stone pile, Ping An was stunned for a moment, secretly screamed badly, stepped on his feet violently, and waved his hands vigorously to float towards the water, the red bull bared his teeth and was about to swim towards the giant snake, Ping An beckoned the red bull back and let it follow him.

Before Ping An came to the surface, he heard a sound of water behind him, he used all his strength to turn around and swing a sword, it was inconvenient to move in the water, he only felt that the long sword in his hand was cut on something hard, and the tiger's mouth was about to crack.

Ping An clenched the long sword with both hands, the suffocation gradually increased, between the lightning and flint, some feasible methods flashed in his mind were rejected, he understood that with his strength in this situation, there was only one end, Ping An suddenly rose a layer of anger in his heart, swam to the giant python and stabbed the snake head with all his strength, the long sword suddenly sank into the head of the giant python, Ping An couldn't believe that this was true, the python was motionless and let him stab a sword, too late to think about it, he pulled out the long sword and quickly surfaced, and then stayed in the water, even if he was not bitten to death, he would suffocate to death。

The giant python also surfaced, and Ping An didn't want to smash it at the giant python with a sword, taking advantage of its illness to kill it, no matter what tricks it played, it would be himself who would die.

Everyone on the shore exclaimed, they first saw the big turtle and Ping'an disappear on the water, and after a while, a giant python also surfaced after Ping'an surfaced, with a bloody mouth and a very cruel mouth, but Ping'an was not afraid at all, and the long sword in his hand slashed down at the head of the giant python, and some villagers who originally had a bad perception of peace couldn't help but secretly admire, Narcissus's anxious tears came out, and he was anxious, and the village chief couldn't help but praise: "It's really a young hero." ”

At this time, Ping'an didn't know that he had been praised as a young hero, and if he knew, he could only cry without tears, and the villagers on the shore were too far away to know how embarrassed he was at this time.

He just subconsciously waved the long sword in order to survive, Rao is the giant snake motionless and let him chop, his arm was also in pain from the shock, after splitting a few swords, he waited for Ping An to calm down and take a closer look only to find that the python was dead, the huge snake head had several sharp cut wounds, and the green and red liquid spread in the river water.

Ping An looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, this python once destroyed the Qingzhou Navy warship, and the people who were eaten by it were not a hundred but eighty, and the demon extermination operation with the participation of the top masters in the encirclement and suppression had failed, it should have belonged to that kind of extremely difficult goods, and he just slashed a few knives indiscriminately, and he died?

Red Bull spun around excitedly in front of the python, apparently it didn't expect this powerful-looking big dick to be so brittle.

The big turtle surfaced after him, Ping An glanced at it with some doubts, I don't know what he was doing in the water just now, the surprise of the death of the giant python made him have no time to think about it, he hurriedly wiped the water droplets on his face with his hand, and greeted: "Brother Yuan, let's go back to the shore first." ”

As soon as Ping An arrived on the turtle's back, he lay down, obviously tired enough, and slowly calmed down, he turned his head to look at the giant snake on the side, and the doubts in his heart gradually increased.

When the big turtle carried the body of the giant python and returned to the shore with Ping'an, the people on the shore cheered in unison, and the villagers surrounded Ping'an, as if welcoming a hero, and the white-haired old man said excitedly: "Ping'an, I really didn't expect you to get rid of this monster as soon as you came down the mountain, it's really terrifying, we really don't know how to thank you, it was you who saved our village." ”

Ping An scratched his head, and said with a complicated mood: "If it weren't for the big turtle to help, I'm afraid I would die in the river, what kind of hero." ”

Narcissus took the clothes that had been prepared a long time ago, looked at him with a worried expression, and said softly, "I knew it was dangerous. Ping An grinned reluctantly and comforted: "Sister, no matter how dangerous it is, I can do it, don't underestimate me, don't change my clothes first, I seem to have thought of something." ”

After Ping An finished speaking, he walked up to the giant python, and he wanted to take care of the matter.

Ping An looked carefully and found some details that he hadn't noticed just now, the first thing he saw was the eyes of the giant python, the dark green eyes were staring coldly ahead, even if the snake was dead, it still made people feel very uncomfortable, he looked at it a few times, and suddenly found that the snake's eyes and expression were exactly the same as what he had seen in the water before, it was still that vicious look, the scales on the python's body were also broken, and he had never touched these scales, could it be that this python had already fought with something before meeting him?

Thinking of the wound on the head of the big turtle before, he suddenly gasped, and thought of a possibility, when he found the snake, the snake was already dead?

Then why did the snake suddenly appear behind him when Ping An wanted to surface, was it the big turtle that made the ghost?

An ominous premonition flashed in his heart, he felt that he was only one step away from explaining this strange thing, but he never grasped the key, Ping An lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Ping'an's expression was serious and there was no trace of joy, the white-haired old man and the village chief also felt that something was wrong, and beckoned the excited villagers to calm down and not disturb Ping'an's thinking.

Narcissus looked at the white-haired old man, and stopped talking, she wanted to tell the old man that the python was actually raised by someone, but she didn't want the old man who was in a good mood to be in a bad mood, so she could only pray in her heart that what the old man in black said was just to let Ping An retreat, not true.

Ping An looked at the long sword in his hand, maybe he stabbed the long sword into the head of the giant python was exactly what the big turtle wanted to see, what reason did it have to give him this credit?

Thinking of the owner of the long sword in his hand, the words of the old man in black, "That python is actually raised by someone, it's best not to try to provoke that snake, the snake is a trivial matter, and the person who raises the snake behind it is very powerful." ”

Ping An suddenly had a cold back, he had always been preconceived thinking that the big turtle was destined for him, and he would definitely not harm himself, if it was said that killing the python was not a good thing, what was a disaster, then the big turtle was actually blaming himself.

Ping An turned his head to look at the river, and the big turtle had disappeared at some point, sure enough.

After figuring out the key, he couldn't help but admire the arrangement of the giant turtle, it first intended to let him see the giant python, he was nervous where he still cared if the giant python was dead or alive, in order to survive, he had to swing his sword and chop, so many people on the shore saw it with their own eyes, the big turtle rescue naturally created a kind of giant python is the illusion that he killed it safely with his own hands, and now even if he said loudly that the giant python was not killed by him, the villagers probably don't believe it.

He glanced back at the villagers of Dayu Village who couldn't bear to be happy, a little helpless, and made a decision in his heart.

When the owner of the big snake really came to seek revenge, he confessed this matter in a dignified manner, and he couldn't tell people that I was deceived by a turtle, and your snake was not killed by me.

Ping An sighed, the big turtle played beautifully, in the end it was an old guy who became a fine, so that the giant python that plagued Dayu Village was also removed, and the villagers could go out to fish, and when the owner of the big snake came to avenge the python, Ping An was a stupid scapegoat, and the initiator was completely out of the matter, and there was no risk at all.

Ping An was just about to explain something to Narcissus when a sound of breaking the sky suddenly came.

A Taoist priest wearing a yellow and purple robe appeared on the shore, his hair was coiled into a bun with a boxwood hairpin, holding a simple peach wood sword in his hand, his body was erect like a green pine, there was a feeling of floating out of the dust, in the eyes of Dayu villagers, he was like a fairy-like figure, the village chief and the white-haired old man looked at each other, and they were a little puzzled.

The Xiaoyao Taoist priest first probed the vitality of the giant python, and then revealed a yin owl eyes that did not match his demeanor, and sneered: "I won't ask who killed this python, I only tell you one thing, that person is in trouble, you don't know the origin of this python at all." ”

The village chief stepped forward and gave a salute first, and said sincerely: "The Taoist chief has an extraordinary demeanor, like an immortal, dare to ask what the Taoist chief means by this? Is it also a disaster to kill a monster that harms the township?"

The Taoist priest looked cold and said coldly: "I said that it is a disaster, old man, don't tell me that you killed this snake." ”

Narcissus's hands grabbed the corners of his clothes, and the snake keeper in the mouth of the old man in black came.

The village chief didn't expect the Taoist priest to be so rude, and he couldn't help but get angry for a while, the person who came was not good.

Ping An stood up and raised the long sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I killed it." The Taoist priest looked at Ping An with some doubts, and sneered: "You don't have a little qi on your body, how did you kill the python? ”

Red Bull showed a little timidity for the first time, stepped back, and then his eyes were red, and he roared with his low hand towards the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest couldn't help but light up when he saw the scarlet beast, and the corners of his mouth hooked invisibly, without hiding his love for the little beast.

Ping An saw Red Bull's reaction and his heart sank to the bottom, Red Bull's prediction of danger has always been relatively accurate, but the last time the scarlet beast met the old man in black on the mountain, he never showed such a demeanor, it seems that Red Bull really felt the killing machine this time.

A grumpy villager shouted: "Where did the bull-nosed Taoist priest come from, pretending to be a ghost to scare people, Ping'an is the hero of our village, don't underestimate him, otherwise I will be unkind to you." ”

The Taoist priest smiled and said to himself, "Alas, you can't talk nonsense when you have said something. ”

Ping'an's heart was beating wildly, and he subconsciously reached out to stop him, but the Taoist priest didn't move, and the villager who spoke before had already flown out backwards, lying on the ground and no longer moving.

The villager's wife was stunned, and then cried and shouted: "What kind of Taoist priest are you, you dare to hurt people, ah, I'm not alive, I'm going to kill you." ”

The woman also flew out upside down, and the Taoist priest didn't look around, but said to himself: "Stay quiet, don't move, I promise you'll be fine." ”

The villagers realized that this fairy-looking Taoist priest was not a compassionate and benevolent person, and they all retreated, and the village chief was just about to step forward with an angry face but was stopped by the white-haired old man, the white-haired old man shook his head, and the village chief sighed and walked to the side to look at the two villagers.

Ping'an glared at the Taoist priest fiercely, the long sword in his hand was crossed in front of his chest, and said angrily: "I said that I killed them, they are all innocent, what is coming at me." ”

The Taoist priest smiled: "What's the hurry, I must come at you, do you think I can dissipate my anger by scolding you a few words?" Since you killed the python, I don't bother to investigate the process, it's not interesting, you just need to know that I'm angry now, because you ruined my chessboard, and I want to grind your bones into chess pieces to solve the hatred in my heart." ”

Narcissus walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Ping An without saying a word, with a trace of weak stubbornness on his face.

Ping'an pulled Narcissus aside with a gloomy face, and said in a low voice: "Sister, things have come to this point, I have nothing to do for Dayu Village, anyway, I was saved by you and a life, now I just go back, you stand back, if you are hurt, I will feel distressed." ”

Narcissus touched Ping'an's cheeks, looked at the man in front of him with teary eyes, and choked up: "I want to die together." ”

Ping An looked around helplessly, and whispered: "So many people are watching, didn't you say that I don't want to be too intimate with you." ”

Narcissus shook his head and said: "I can't care so much, they can see it when they see it, Ping'an, my sister just wants to tell you that my sister will meet you in the next life, and when the time comes, I will not be your sister, but your daughter-in-law." ”

Ping'an's nose was sour, and he muttered, "So I can't wait to go to the next life to see." ”

The Taoist priest touched the peachwood sword in his hand, and said: "When is it, are you still flirting and scolding in front of me, when I don't exist?" Since your relationship is so good, I will send mercy and push the boat along the river, and send the two of you to be an outlaw mandarin duck together, and don't forget my good when you get down." ”

Ping'an's brain was hot, I can't just wait for death, he protected Narcissus behind him, held the sword and shouted, "Wait, do you know this sword?"

The Taoist priest pursed his lips and said with a slight surprise: "This sword is full of aura, it is a rare good sword, don't worry, I will treat your sword well after you die." ”

Ping Jian sighed, and said to himself in a small voice: "Alas, master, forgive the apprentice for being unfilial, and before you have time to practice as a kendo master, you will be killed by a Taoist priest, don't you always say that you are one of the few great masters in the world, you must avenge the apprentice." ”

The Taoist priest stopped his movements and asked in disbelief, "Who is your master?"

Ping An pressed the ecstasy in his heart, there is a door, old man, I will borrow your name, I hope you really have some deterrent power, Ping An pretended to be calm and said: "My sword is called Fuguang, it was originally my master's matching sword, and now it is given to me." ”

The Taoist priest's mind is full of thoughts, and he seems to have heard of it, but as long as he is not a master in the top ten martial arts evaluations, he really doesn't pay attention to it, seeing that the Taoist priest's face slowed down, and the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, Ping An secretly shouted that it was not good, it seems that the name of the old man in black is not good.

The Taoist priest said with a look of regret: "I'm really sorry, I should be a master, it turns out that he is just a second-rate swordsman whose realm has regressed, to be honest, you now say that you are the apprentice of the first person in the world, I always have to believe it, you say yes." ”

Ping An looked at the woman beside him, and understood that most of them couldn't hide this time, so he threw away his long sword and said loudly: "Dao Chief, I don't see that you are not a wicked person who does bad things, can the junior beg you for something?"
