Chapter 9 Wretched Old Man

Zhou Dao watched the snake mouth biting towards him, closed his eyes and thought: This is over, the fairy dream has not come true, and he has become a dead person.

After closing his eyes for a while, Zhou Dao didn’t feel any movement and thought: What’s wrong with this, doesn’t this snake eat people?

"Okay, kid, open your eyes." A strange voice sounded in Zhou Dao's ear.

Although this voice was ugly, Zhou Dao felt it was more pleasant than ever before.Because he knew: he was fine.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a strange old man with triangular eyes, a goatee, and a smiling face. He was not too tall. In a word: he looked very wretched.

At this time, this wretched old man was holding the big snake in his hand, and was looking at Zhou Dao fiercely with a smile.

"Thank you senior."

"Thank you, do you know that I'm going to be late for a while and you don't even have any bones. Tell me, did you mess with my precious snake?" After finishing speaking, the old man let go of the snake.

"This, this is your snake?" Zhou Dao asked with a little fear.

"Of course it's my snake. I've been looking for it since I found it was gone. If I hadn't heard the noise from here, I really couldn't find it. But my snake won't attack people without my order. It must be The two of you started first. Okay, okay, baby, come down, I'll have something delicious when I go back later."

Sure enough, the snake slowly slid off Zhou Dao's body, Zhou Dao was relieved at this moment.He quickly took a few breaths, and then was strangled for a while, and he was suffocated to death if he was not bitten to death.

"Brother Zhou, how are you? You have nothing to do?" At this moment, Zhang Dazhuang ran over and asked.

"He said it was fine, but he was almost eaten by a snake." Zhou Dao said angrily.

"Hey." Zhang Dazhuang scratched his head and turned his face, and then shouted to the old man: "Hey, what are you laughing at, you old man? I don't think about whether this lazy snake is raised by you. Next time it runs away, I will catch it." Let’s bake and eat.”

Zhou Dao was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Zhang Dazhuang: "You don't want to live anymore, is this the snake he raised?"

The two turned to look at the old man, and found that the old man was still smiling without any change.

"Well, two little brothers, it's not right to be old, so to express my apology, you go back with me, how about I give you some compensation when you arrive at my residence?"

"Forget it, forget it." The two quickly shook their heads.

"It's okay not to go, just follow me." As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Zhou Dao and Zhang Dazhuang one by one.

"Hey, what are you doing, this is Tianlong Mountain, help me." Zhou Dao and Zhang Dazhuang shouted loudly.

The old man smiled and said nothing, turned around and left with the two of them.The snake followed closely behind.

Along the way, quite a few members of the Tianlong Sect saw it, but all of them had gloating expressions, and occasionally a few showed sympathetic eyes.

"Hey, two more people are unlucky now, and they should be newcomers."

"It should be. It's not a newcomer. Anyone who sees the old man doesn't run away."

"Hush, keep your voice down, you forgot what you suffered last time."

"Yeah, yeah, we still broke up, and it would be unlucky to be seen."

Zhou Dao and Zhang Dazhuang didn't know this, the two felt as if they were flying through the clouds, and the mountains, rocks and trees on both sides flew backwards.What was even more frightening was that the big snake followed closely behind.

After a while, the old man stopped in front of a gate.Pushing the two of them to the ground, they pushed open the door and walked in.The snake followed suit.

Zhou Dao and Zhang Dazhuang looked up at each other and thought: if you don't run now, it's better to wait.But the two just moved their feet.A voice came from afar: "Run as long as you can." The two had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

As soon as the two entered, they felt the door behind them slowly closing. Out of curiosity, they turned around and were startled. It turned out that there were two big snow-white wolf dogs squatting behind the door. Wolf dogs are not unusual at all, but the strange ones are the ones as big as cows. .Coupled with the snow-white fur all over the body, normal people know that these two big wolfhounds are not ordinary.And now the two big wolfhounds were sticking out their tongues at Zhou Dao and the others, as if they were going to pounce on them.

The two thought to themselves: This time they have entered the wolf's den, and they can't escape even if they run.

Zhou Dao felt that the old man's yard was quite large, and the structure and distribution of the houses were quite different from the master's yard.The yard is all built of stones, the wall alone is three meters high, and the thickness is also two meters. I really don't know what the old man is doing to build the house like this, is it to guard against thieves.However, there were no other plants in the yard, only some flowers and plants were planted, Zhou Dao was wondering, Zhang Dazhuang stretched his head over and said, "These are all medicinal materials, many of which are rare species."

"Medical materials, is this old man a doctor?"

"Hmph, rare ass, kid who has never seen the world, the talents in my backyard are all orphans. You two come over here and don't run around. I have planted medicinal herbs on the entire mountain where I live. If you step on it Broken, be careful I peeled your skin."

"Really domineering" the two of them thought to themselves and followed the old man into the house.After entering the house, I found that the house was full of bottles and jars, and there was a strong herbal smell.

"Sure enough, he is a doctor." Zhou Dao thought to himself: But why do doctors raise snakes, what about snakes?It turned out that the annoying snake disappeared after the two of them entered the house with the old man.

"Ah, what a big spider." Zhang Dazhuang pointed at the old man and shouted.

Zhou Dao looked in the direction Zhang Dazhuang was pointing at, and sure enough, there was a big black spider crawling on the old man's shoulder. This spider was bigger than a human palm, and its body was hairy. One glance at Zhou Dao made him feel hairy. of.

"Boy, don't yell loudly when I'm here. It wakes up my pets. Then don't blame me for taking it as a snack." He took off the spider on his shoulder and threw it aside.Zhou Dao and Zhang Dazhuang shuddered again.

"Senior, if there is nothing wrong, you can let us go, otherwise we will be worried if Master can't find us." At this time Zhou Dao stepped forward and said boldly.

"Hey, you little guy is quite good at talking, much better than the idiot next to you. How is the old man in a good mood today? How about accepting you as my first disciple?"

Zhou Dao and the two felt a little dumbfounded after hearing this. "This, senior, please forgive me, this junior already has a master."

"Hmph, both of you are new to the monastery, so it depends on what kind of apprentice your master can teach. I don't agree with telling you that many people want to be my apprentice."

The old man smiled and said: "It's not impossible to let you go, but you have provoked the snake I raised, so you have to stay for a few days to do something for me, and I will let you go back after a few days, no To embarrass you, no matter what, I am also an elder of the Tianlong Sect."

"You are the elder of our sect." The two exclaimed.

"Why, the old man doesn't look like that."

"Ah, no." Both Zhou Dao and Zhou Dao thought: being so wretched really affects the image of our sect.

"But what are we doing?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm short of manpower. I'll ask you to do some chores. If you do well, I'll reward you."

When Zhou Dao and his wife heard that it was chores, they let go of their hearts.

"You. Seeing that you are smart, go and take care of my pets for me first. The one behind sees you as stupid. I have recently researched some new drugs. Seeing that you are quite strong, please be an experimental product for me."

The old man led Zhou Dao to a gate made of cast iron. Before Zhou Dao could speak, the old man felt a bad premonition.It seems that there is something dangerous inside the door.

The old man opened the door and said, "Among my pets, they are all cute, you have to be careful not to step on them, they are all my treasures."

The door finally opened, and as soon as it opened a crack, Zhou Dao heard a lot of strange sounds inside, like the cry of toads and the slightest sound, could it be a snake.Just when Zhou Dao felt something was wrong.The old man next to him handed over a small square bag: "Take it well and don't lose it. If you lose it, you will die." As he spoke, Zhou Dao was pushed into it.
