Chapter 28 [September Chongyang, Vicious Python]
The jungle near Dawang Village is very dense, with ancient trees and vines all over the place, and it is the ninth day of the ninth month of September, which is the Double Ninth Festival.
"It's a pity that in this good season, we should have climbed high and looked far away, but we were wandering around in this mountain forest. The old Taoist priest complained.
Duan Yu shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a leisurely smile: "Dao Chief's words are wrong, if on the day of Chongyang, everyone climbs high and looks far away, then how can there be 'Brother Yaozhi ascends to the heights, and there is one less person everywhere'?"
"It seems that Duan Gongzi really doesn't just know a few Tang poetry and swordsmanship, but he is very knowledgeable, can you read a few invigorating verses? Don't say any more melancholy sentences. "The old Taoist priest said.
Duan Yu saw that the yellow flowers were blooming everywhere in the jungle, and he was very energetic, so he remembered the famous poem of a peasant uprising leader named Huangchao in the Tang Dynasty, and chanted aloud unhurriedly: "When autumn comes, September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom." The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. ”
"Good poetry, it's really good poetry, it's just too overbearing, I don't like it very much. Zhang Junbao smiled helplessly.
"Brother Junbao is an outsider who cares about being at ease, of course he doesn't like this poem. Duan Yu said.
Since they planned to leave the monks who had formed an alliance, they had to be very cautious about the big python that was not in this area before them, and they kept an eye on the wind and grass around them while hurrying.
Mu Wanqing was very fond of the clusters of yellow flowers on the side of the road, and had already collected a large bunch, Duan Yu took a few yellow flowers from her hand, made them into a wreath, and said, "Miss Mu, can I put it on for you?"
"Of course you can, what's the matter?" Mu Wanqing smiled and said softly.
Duan Yu's hand was very steady, and he put the garland on Mu Wanqing's head and smoothed one of her sideburns.
"Brother Duan, be careful! I already heard an unusual noise. Zhang Junbao suddenly frowned.
Duan Yu was a little surprised that Zhang Junbao's hearing was good, and they used their swift skills to rush to the Chen River, and sure enough, they heard the sound of rustling, which was indeed the sound of a snake crawling and lifting dead branches and leaves.
There was also a fishy smell in the air, which was particularly pungent.
They soon walked out of the jungle in that direction, and sure enough, on the bank of the Chenhe River, there was a large python circling over, the length of which was not clear because it was coiled, but it was the thickness of a bucket. The body of the snake is dark and covered with many vermilion markings, which is very scary.
The python spat out the letter, and after a short time it stretched out, lying on the bank of the river, it was actually four zhang long.
Seeing that the python was inhabiting here, Duan Yu and his friends didn't dare to move, they were full of interest when they came before, but when they really faced such a python, the martial arts that they were originally confident in were left behind.
After looking at each other, they all decided to lurk in the grass, don't worry, presumably soon, Yi Jifeng, the alliance leader, will come here with more than three hundred high-rollers, and it is best for them to take the lead.
The autumn breeze blows from time to time by the Chen River, and the reeds flutter all over the sky, but there is something incongruous in this beautiful scenery, that is, the wind is mixed with a strong python fishy smell. caused Duan Yu and the others who were lurking in the grass to vomit with nausea, but they had to hold back, if there was any movement here, the big python that was perching on the river bank would find out.
I didn't even dare to complain, not only because there were few of them, but also because they were not well prepared, at least they had to prepare some big fishing nets!
Half an hour later, there was a noisy sound behind him, and sure enough, it was Yi Jifeng who led more than 300 high-rollers from the rivers and lakes to this place. They also had villagers from Dawang Village leading the way, and the crowd had previously driven a few cows and sheep, many carrying large wire nets and steel forks.
Duan Yu knew in his heart that these people were indeed too well prepared, bringing so many cattle and sheep, just by throwing them out, the big python would be full, and then it would be tired, and the will to fight would not be so strong.
"Lord Yimeng, the big python is on the bank of the Chen River, shall we act according to the original plan?" said the Silver Jiao Gang Leader.
"Of course, you have to drive the cattle and sheep first. Then the master of the iron fork gate led the men to cast the barbed wire net, and the rest of the people listened to my command to throw spears. Yi Jifeng said loudly.
After all, he was the young owner of Mingjian Villa, and the more than 300 high-rollers present obeyed his orders and hurriedly acted according to the plan. They were outnumbered, and their courage was much stronger, so they went to the bank of the river without much hesitation.
With such a big movement, the python had already woken up from its rest, and it could see at a glance that the strength of this group of people was nothing more than that, especially the cattle and sheep that were driven in front of the team made the python a little excited, so the python would not evacuate here at all.
The leader of the Yinjiao gang was still a little afraid, so he scolded his subordinates to drive the cattle and sheep over, and those subordinates waved their rattans vigorously and pumped them on the cattle and sheep, and then immediately retreated.
The cattle and sheep ran a few steps, and were shocked by the vicious appearance and fishy smell of the python, and they couldn't even escape, standing in place and wailing.
A gust of fishy wind struck, and the python suddenly glided out, leaving an afterimage in the void, and had already come to the front of the cattle and sheep, mercilessly opening the blood basin and biting a buffalo, and then swallowing it whole into the snake's belly.
The body of the cow is relatively large, but the python is already swallowed, which is also the fulfillment of an old saying: "The human heart is not enough for the snake to swallow the elephant", even the elephant dares to swallow, what is a mere buffalo?
Because of this, the lower part of the throat of the python bulges, which looks very weird, and the python's body is dark and covered with vermilion markings, which is breathtaking.
"Hugh must retreat and cast the net!" Yi Jifeng held the long sword in his hand, and the command was determined.
The master of the Iron Fork Sect was not ambiguous, and immediately led the disciples to throw the wire net from four directions, and because of the stones placed in the net, it could be thrown to a certain height.
They really lived up to their expectations and had already shrouded the python with a barbed wire net.
"It seems that our plan is really feasible, Lord Yi Meng, quickly order everyone to throw spears!"
"Why are you in a hurry, do you want to tie me into a sieve?" the Iron Fork Sect Master roared angrily as he ran back with his disciples as he ran back quickly.
Yan Daping sneered, ignored him, and continued to urge Yi Jifeng to say: "Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, please make a decision quickly!"
At this time, the python was in the barbed wire net, not angry, but continued to devour the cattle and sheep for a long time, and it did not put the more than 300 high-rollers in front of it in its eyes at all.
Seeing this, Yi Jifeng couldn't help frowning, but there was no better way, so he ordered: "Throw a spear at me, throw it fiercely!"
All the men with spears and steel forks in their hands went all out, aiming at the python and then throwing it out, and in an instant, more than a hundred spears and steel forks slashed through the void like a meteor shower, most of them were thrown at the python, after all, this target target is quite large, and the distance is not very far.
To everyone's stunned, the scale armor of the python was extremely defensive, and only a few spears were pierced into the python's body, and the other spears did not cause any damage at all due to the lack of internal force of the person who threw it, but left a shallow white mark on its scale armor.
"How can this be? From the general situation, the python is also flesh and blood, and there is no reason why the steel fork and spear can't pierce it!" Yi Jifeng was very shocked and muttered.
"I saw that this kid was unreliable, but fortunately we didn't follow their team to fool around. Zhang Junbao laughed quietly.
"Let's wait and see what happens, and we have to think of a perfect way to deal with the python. Duan Yu groaned.
People were very nervous and began to panic, and some people even fled, Yi Jifeng did not dare to hurt these people or threaten them for the sake of the reputation of the full name Sword Villa.
"Ah~" With a scream, but I saw that the python had passed through the barbed wire net at some point, like a hurricane swept in, biting a man to death, and did not devour it, because the python had eaten too much of cattle and sheep just now.
"Run away, the python can't deal with it!" The pride and ambition of the high-rollers when they came came were gone, and now they only know how to flee for their lives.
"What a bunch of waste, Senior Brother Wan, what do you think we should do?" Yan Daping asked.
"Of course, it's for the time being, maybe you want to compete with this python? Our swordsmanship can't get close to the body of the python at all. "Ten Thousand Earthquakes Mountain Road.
