Chapter 264 The Case of the Snake Fairy in the Black Market of Jiangnan 19
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)hhhhhhhh! He's really a snake monster)))" !Spirit!!"

"Don't scare yourself." Yan Mo said with a calm face, "There is something called Qizhen! It can change trees and roads! Rare is more strange!"

"Don't scare me! You said that the man stayed away from the crowd and lived with snakes, so how did he know about Qizhen? It doesn't make sense!"

Yan Mo: "Then you are more willing to believe that that person is really a snake fairy?!"

"Uh uh uh~" Qi Ying desperately shook his head!
"Let's go!" Yan Mo pretended to be at ease, and opened the way, "Did you forget? His father is proficient in music, painting, and is good at digging holes. I am afraid he is a man who knows everything. This strange formation may be left by his father. Yes." Even though she said so, she actually didn't know why the white-haired man appeared so suddenly at the entrance of the river, and why didn't his feet get muddy?That white python is originally a beast, why is it as spiritual as Kaizhi?And those strange murals, was the white-haired man really raised by a white python?Earlier, when they came out of the water in the white python and stayed in the cave, what happened to the strange vision of swimming and delusion?

Even if all these were ignored, she herself had hidden herself!There is also the immortal master in the vague memory, how should all this be explained?

"Uh uh. Is this really the case?" Qi Ying was still trembling in his heart, looking back frequently, trying to find a trace, everything was just the basis of an illusion
"Stop moaning, let's go and find your second brother!"

"Ah! boy let's go—boy let's go—"

"The rivers and lakes are reckless! Stupid bird! Wait, Xiao Wang!!!"

Under the guidance of the parrot, the two quickly left the woods, detoured along the river and mountains, sheltered from the rain intermittently, and came all the way to the Snake Fairy Cave.

"Ha, Xiao Wang is starving to death." At this moment, Qi Ling really regretted that he didn't eat enough eggs at the thatched cottage before going out. He held his stomach to ease his breathing, and didn't forget to look at the cliff and the sea in front of him. This is the Snake Cave. At the rear entrance of the cave, the sound of waves hitting the rock wall came in waves, and some high waves of water sprayed like celestial maidens scattering flowers, spilling waves with one hand and falling on the stone path.

"Last night, we didn't see the second brother when we came here." He looked away, followed Yan Mo to explore the cave, accompanied by the parrot, barely landed on a stone pillar, began to clean his feathers, and rested by the way.

The last time the cave was explored in the middle of the night, the cave was completely dark. This time, with the help of the skylight, Yan Mo could investigate more carefully.She ran and looked back and forth, but she didn't see a fox, nor a sign to leave a message. Instead, she saw two huge broken stones at the entrance of another cave. When they were put together, they looked like snake heads. She guessed this It should be the statue of the snake fairy.Back in the cave, she surveyed those stone pillars and rock walls again, to see if there are other spaces between the stone walls?
"Hands up!"

Qi Lin came to Yan Mo and carried the boxes together, but there was still a simple stone wall behind the boxes!Afterwards, the two groped the cave mansion back and forth, and found that there was no mechanism or secret room here.

But at this moment, the sea breeze blew, and singing sounded in the cave!

Yan Mo and Qi Lin looked back together, feeling the force of the wind and the sound. They found that the singing here was the same as the singing in the thatched cottage, only resounding around the cave. It was not like the singing that shook the sky and spread thousands of miles like last night.
"What's going on here?" Qi Lin looked at Yan Mo suspiciously, with a questioning look on his face.

"The mural says that the man's father was good at music and repaired the cave." Yan Mo touched the stone pillars and said, "However, I think these stone pillars are not man-made, but more like natural formation."

When Qi Ying heard this, he immediately twisted his facial features and said, "You mean, that man's father is not a human?! These stone pillars were transformed by him using demonic methods?"

"You still can't get around this hurdle?" Yan Mo said with a look of disgust, "The mural only said that the father was good at music, but didn't say how the stone pillar was formed! Don't be suspicious!"

"Then what's the matter with the Nightmare Song we heard last night?! The tune is very similar to the one here." Qi Ying hugged his arms and shrank his body. pass!"

"The tune is very similar to the one here." Yan Mo looked around, "The tune is the same, if there is an amplifier, it can amplify the magnetic sound effect."

"Increase luck?" Qi Ying looked at the other party suspiciously, thinking, the reckless Jianghu must be fooling Xiao Wang!

"These stone pillars." Yan Mo looked closely at the stone pillars. At first, she thought that these stone pillars were all hexahedrons, but after a closer look, she found out that there are also octahedrons and dodecahedrons. "Could it be magnetic?"

"Magnetism?" Qi Ying frowned and thought, "You mean, these stone pillars are mysterious stones?"

"There is no instrument to measure, it is impossible to judge"

Qi Ying pointed at Cang and cried: "Sword! Sword is fine!!"

Yan Mo looked at the silver sword, brought it closer to the stone pillar and said, "I don't know what kind of metal Cangqi is made of. If the silver content in it is considerable, then its magnetism is not high."

Sure enough, after Cang Qi approached the stone pillar, there was no reaction.

"Why?" Qi Ling asked with a puzzled look.

"Magnetic metals are iron, cobalt, nickel, and gadolinium." Yan Mo didn't feel any difference in the thoughts that appeared in his mind, and blurted out, "Silver is not magnetic."

Qi Ying showed an expression of looking at the aliens: "." The Jianghu reckless is fooling Xiao Wang again!
Yan Mo ignored the other party, pulled back his thoughts, stared at the stone pillars and thought: Even if these stone pillars are magnetic, the current volume is still not enough to carry the sound for thousands of miles. The white python appeared after the nocturne disappeared. Could it be that the real amplifier is the white python? !

According to the mural, the Snake Fairy Cave was originally a nest of snakes, maybe it was also the residence of the white python?When the white python walks into the cave, the mysterious stone pillars interact with the sea breeze to produce a singing sound. By increasing the vibration frequency of the white python's body, the sound can be amplified and transmitted far away.
For a while, I thought about the hallucinogenic effect of the white python, and for a while, I thought about the magnetic enhancement effect of the white python. What did I take it for? !

"The rivers and lakes are reckless! What are you doing?!" Seeing the other party scratching his head, Qi Yan stopped him and asked.

"After much deliberation, the only reason why the song of the cave can reach the village is the white python!"

"What did I say!" Qi Ying put on an expression that I knew, and said with certainty, "The white-haired man's family is very suspicious!"

"I'm talking about the white python, don't be suspicious!" Yan Mo affirmed, and then she changed the subject, "No matter what kind of magical ability the white python has. What I don't understand is that people who live by the sea all the year round The common people are all afraid of ghosts and gods. According to the villagers, in order to survive, they destroyed the statues of snake gods and gods, which is why they have nightmares.

Come to think of it, the snake fairy statue blocked the entrance of the cave, so the wind only swam in the cave. But why did they destroy the snake fairy statue? "

"Could it be related to these boxes?"

Seeing that he had successfully brought the other party into his thoughts, Yan Mo took the lead and began to check those boxes. She pried open the boxes with the tip of Cangqi sword and looked inside.
"It's fake silver!" Qi Ling looked around together, "Also... is this a gold ingot? A jade product?"

Yan Mo picked up a silver ingot and tossed it into the air, filled Cang Qi with sword energy and quickly slashed!The silver nugget fell on the stone ground and made a crisp sound. She picked up the silver nugget and smacked it carefully, saying: "It's real silver, there is no official seal on it, it seems that it was recast."

"This is also true!" Qi Ying picked up a small jade object and looked carefully at the light, "I didn't expect that! The Snake Fairy Cave is full of treasures!"

Yan Mo then opened other boxes and oilcloth bags, and found that they were full of various goods and jewelry, and some boxes contained brocade fabrics and clothing, which were tightly packed to prevent water and wind.

"The rivers and lakes are reckless, tell me, how can there be so many rare treasures on such an inconspicuous island?" Qi Ying asked suspiciously.

Yan Mo: "These cloths, gold and silver are well stored. They are not owned by the villagers, but rather traded goods."

Qi Ying: "Fake silver is made in the village, real silver is hidden in the cave, and where is this island with so many goods?!"

After looking around, Yan Mo finally saw clearly: "The reason why the villagers destroy the statue is to turn this place into a storage cave!"

"Storage hole?!" Qi Ying looked back and forth, thinking, so many treasures are stored here, there is not even a guard
Yan Mo walked by a few steps, and was about to open the box in the distance to see what else was there. When she stepped on a puddle of salty water, she suddenly had an idea!
"Since we met the white python, it has never been out of the island and has been swimming in fresh water."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Qi Yan watched the other party stop suddenly, and said this sentence without thinking!
Yan Mo: "That is to say, there is a difference between sea snakes and freshwater snakes! The white python is basically active on the island, so it should be a freshwater snake. The salt excretion system in the freshwater snake's body is not as good as that of the sea snake, so it cannot live in the sea for so long. Not to mention crossing the ocean and traveling between the two continents! And that night, the basilisk we saw was so huge that no ship could transport such a huge thing. We can only rely on the basilisk to swim by itself!"

"So." Qi Ying half-knowledged, "The white python is not the young child of the sea basilisk? They are not related. But why are the two so similar?"

Yan Mo frowned: ". Is that really a basilisk?"

"The white-haired man is so weird! There is also a snake fairy legend on the island! Now, if Xiao Wang sees that snake monster again, he won't be surprised!" Qi Ying walked up quickly, pulled the other person's shoulder and said, "Jianghu Cao Mang, the important thing right now is not the basilisk or the snake fairy! Are you sure what the white-haired man said is true? There is no sign of the second brother here at all!!"

"." Yan Mo looked into the cave, a little discouraged, there was indeed no fox figure here, "Let's go."

"where to?"

"Stupid bird! Let's go!" Yan Mo didn't answer, turned around quickly, and shouted in the lead.

"I'm not a stupid bird——I'm not a stupid bird—" the parrot spread its wings, still docked on the lover's shoulder, and did not forget to shout a few words in protest!
Afterwards, the two came to the village together, and Yan Mo wanted to find out where the fake silver in the village went.Last night, she found the silver workshop by accident. Right now, she still needs to search a bit before she can find that workshop. After searching, she accidentally entered a house and looked up. It was that huge snake skin!Still shining colorful shimmer! !In daylight, this snake skin looks more beautiful, but it is also
"Ah! I'm going to be eaten—ah! I'm going to be eaten—" When the parrot saw the snakeskin, it spread its wings and flew, hiding on the tall tree branches outside the house, hiding its figure in the shadow of the leaves!

Qi Ying has long been used to this, he retracted his gaze, and looked closer at the snake skin: "Huh? Is this fake?" After "being intimate with the white python" last night, it is no problem for him to distinguish the authenticity of the snake skin!
"It's really fake. It wasn't as big as it was when I saw it last night." Yan Mo looked behind the snake skin carefully, and found that the white snake skin was attached to a huge oilcloth. "This is woven by people." of"

"Is this oilcloth? Huh? What kind of thread is this?" Qi Lin recalled, "It's the same as the hard silk thread on our body!!"

"That's right." Yan Mo affirmed, "When we were washed up on the island, we were wrapped in this kind of thread."

"Why is this snake skin glowing like the white python?" Qi Ling observed curiously.

"That's a shell." Yan Mo looked at it carefully, "There is no shortage of shells on the seashore. Crush the shells, paint them with paint, paint, and paint them on the fake snake skin, and they will show colorful light." As she spoke, she again A flash of inspiration! "I see! The sea basilisk we saw is fake! However, its prototype may be the white python. It may also be those little white snakes. The silk thread wrapped around the body by the oilcloth. The sea wave air basilisk."

"The rivers and lakes are reckless, what are you thinking?" Seeing that the other party was lost in thought, Qi Ying called out.

"I have a bold guess!" Yan Mo picked up the tarpaulin on the ground and began to wrap himself. "The waves are so big, how did we survive until we came to this island? During this process, there must be something that provided us with breathable air." Like the belly of a basilisk!"

"The belly of the basilisk?!" Qi Lin almost dropped his jaw in shock, "You have been fooling Xiao Wang for a whole day! Why should I believe you?!"

"This is the basilisk!" Yan Mo pointed to the oilcloth on his body, and his speech speed changed according to his thoughts, "The situation was too chaotic at that time, and the basilisk suddenly appeared! I think it must be a certain ship with these fake skins In the midst of chaos, throw the fake snakeskin into the sea!" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and the faster she spoke, "When we were swallowed by the waves, for some reason, we entered the space created by the fake snakeskin! The inside of the snake skin is full of air, it will float on the surface of the sea, and it will sink when it is full of water! So it is half water and half empty, so it can turn upside down!! And that half empty is the reason why we can survive! !!"

"Wait, wait." Qi Ling stopped immediately, and he just stopped the other party's heroic words!The tense and exciting atmosphere aroused by the speed of speech slowed down in an instant!He recollected what the other party said, and asked emphatically, "How can the fake snake skin roll over the sea? How did we get into the belly of the fake basilisk?"

"Because of the ship!" Yan Mo regained his excited and tense atmosphere again, and spoke quickly, "The winch in the cabin can drive the oars, as long as the design is reasonable, it can naturally drive the tarpaulin!! The whole basilisk is a pen holder with two empty ends! Of course it is soft. The pen holder! The rotation force of the winch drives the lever, and the lever drives the soft pen holder to move in a circle! Naturally, it will be involved in the animals and plants in the sea, such as fish, shrimp and crab, and us!! As for why we entered the belly of the snake." Only then did she change her tone, and said in a very inscrutable way, "Because we deserve to die! Everything is guided by fate!!"

"." Qi Lin rolled his upper eyelids, very dissatisfied, and let out a faint uh sound from his throat, because what the other party said seemed quite reasonable, but in the last sentence, he felt that the other party was just talking nonsense!

What should Xiao Wang believe?
　Yuansou [sǒu]: a place where people or things gather.
