Chapter 167: The snake swallows the elephant, and Yi beheads the nine infants
Lin Ziye smiled and asked, "How do you know this?"
"My mother is a mortal, so I've been exposed to a lot of books since I was a child. ”
"No wonder Miss Du knows so many things. ”
"Then have you heard of Ba Snake and Nine Infants?"
"I know!" Ghost said with a grin, "I know, I know, it is said that it once swallowed an elephant alive and it took three years to spit it out. ”
"This story is called greed in the book, and the snake swallows the elephant. ”
Legend has it that once upon a time a peasant went up the mountain to chop wood, and when he saw a little snake that was frozen and stiff, he was very pitiful.
The little snake slowly grows into a big snake, and it can live on its own, and the farmer puts it in the stone cave behind the mountain, thirsty to drink the mountain spring, hungry to eat wild fruits, the big snake is naturally very grateful to the farmer, after a few days, the stone cave of the big snake grows a small Ganoderma lucidum.
People want to get it, just because of the protection of the snake, no one dares to approach, this matter was known to the emperor, so he asked people to post an emperor list around: Whoever can pick this Ganoderma lucidum will be rewarded.
The peasant wanted to be rewarded, so he begged the snake to give him the lingzhi.
The serpent agreed to his request, and the peasants offered the lingzhi to the emperor and were rewarded with a batch of gold and silver treasures. After a few more days, the queen's eyes were blind, and the imperial doctor said that only the eyes of the dragon and snake could be cured. The emperor thought of this peasant who offered Ganoderma lucidum, so he ordered him to gouge out the eyes of the big snake, and promised him that after he succeeded, he would make him the prime minister.
The peasant became rich and wanted to be an official, so he came again and begged the serpent to give him an eyeball. The big snake had to endure the pain and let him gouge out an eyeball, the queen's eyes were restored, and the peasant became the prime minister, pampered and pampered, and enjoyed endless glory and wealth, for fear that one day he would die and leave behind this family wealth.
So, he thought of the method of immortality, he heard that eating the heart of the dragon snake can be immortal, so he went to the mountains to find the big snake, and asked to give him another heart, to fulfill his immortality, the big snake saw that he was so greedy and insufficient, so he opened his mouth and told him to dig. ”
Hearing this, the ghost said with some righteous indignation: "This snake is really greedy enough. ”
Later, after the Yellow Emperor heard about the snake, he sent Hou Yi to kill it, and Hou Yi first shot the snake with an arrow, and then chased it all the way to the far west and cut it into two pieces. The corpse of the snake was turned into a hill, which is now called Baling. ”
"As for the Nine Infants, it is one of the ancient beasts of fire and water, which can spray water and spit fire, and its cry is like a baby's cry, so it is called the Nine Infants.
Ten days and when the water is boiling, the nine babies think that the water is too hot, so they jump ashore, see people to eat, when eating, there must be 9 kinds of food for it to eat at the same time, the nine babies were born at the beginning of the heaven and earth, when the aura of heaven and earth is thick as the substance, I don't know how many strong spirit beasts and monsters are produced.
This nine-life old demon is in the deep mountains and Daze, the vitality of yin and yang is intertwined, and it is born out, it is the body of a hydra, and it is called the nine infants. Each head is a life, because it is directly produced by heaven and earth, there is no soul and no soul, the body is strong and abnormal, it is an immortal body, and there are nine lives, as long as there is a life still there, just collect the aura between heaven and earth to recover.
It has nine heads and nine lives, and it is not afraid of Hou Yi at all, and its nine mouths are open together, spitting out poisonous flames and turbid currents, intertwined into a dangerous net of water and fire, trying to trap Hou Yi.
Hou Yi knew that it had nine lives, and after shooting one in the head, not only would it not die, but it would also heal quickly, so he made a series of arrows, and nine arrows were inserted into the nine heads of the nine babies almost at the same time, and none of the nine lives of the nine babies were left. ”
"Then according to what you say, sister, Ba Snake and Jiu Ying are dead. ”
"I don't know about this," Du still shook her head blankly, she really didn't know why Nine Babies and Ba Snake appeared here, but after all, it was a legend, so you can't believe it.
