Chapter 52 Beauty Snake

After Qi Guanshan smiled mockingly, he took the lead into the water and entered the ancient pagoda.

However, when they found the direction of the ancient pagoda gate, they were stunned.

I saw that there were iron chains as thick as arms under the algae, tied up layer by layer, as if they were afraid that something inside would come out.

Zhang Quan tried to pull, but the iron chain did not move at all.

Fu Zhaozhao patted him on the shoulder and told him to stay away.

Then she stepped forward, felt the iron chain, and then exerted a slight force.

I saw that the surrounding water suddenly became turbid. After the iron lock was twisted off, it emitted an iron-red color. After a while, it gradually returned to its original state.

Fu Zhaozhao twisted the remaining iron locks one by one with the same strength as before, and finished them in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Quan was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Qi Guanshan was used to it, and he had probably seen many such scenes. Then he patted Zhang Quan and asked him to follow him in quickly.

Fu Zhaozhao pushed the door open.

Perhaps it was because no one had been inside for too long, but as soon as the door opened, a lot of small silver fish rushed out, catching the leader by surprise.

Qi Guanshan pulled Zhang Quan to the side, but he was not hit by the little fish.

When the silver fish passed by, Fu Zhaozhao seemed to have noticed something. He raised his hand and grabbed one of them and observed it carefully.

Seeing him like this, Qi Guanshan quickly stepped forward.

After the silver fish was imprisoned, it twisted its body very violently, as if it wanted to escape from the opponent's hand. Unfortunately, this behavior was useless.

After Fu Zhaozhao observed it carefully, his expression looked a little strange.

However, because of the mask, Qi Guanshan didn't see it, so he had to gesture with his hands to ask her what she was looking at.
  Fu Zhaozhao pointed at the fish's eyes, as if something was wrong.

Qi Guanshan took it and observed it carefully, but found nothing wrong. Just when he was about to ask her what was different, Fu Zhaozhao patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the door of the ancient pagoda, indicating that he should go in first. We'll talk about the rest after the water comes out.

Seeing this, Qi Guanshan threw the fish behind him and told Zhang Quan behind him that he was going in.

Zhang Quan made an OK gesture and looked like he was following closely behind.

The two of them entered the gate of the ancient pagoda one after another, but did not see what happened to the silver fish that was still alive and kicking after it fell into Zhang Quan's hands.

There was a turbidity in the water. Zhang Quan threw away the remains in his hand and followed closely behind him into the ancient pagoda.

The silver little fish's eyes were still moving, but there were only a few strands of minced meat hanging on the body, as if it had been crushed by someone with brute force. However, it seemed to have no feeling and continued to face it as always. Swim in the direction of the large army.

It was dark inside the ancient pagoda, and it was impossible to see the internal structure clearly without a flashlight.

The structure of the entire floor is very simple. Except for the stairs going up in the middle, there are only murals around it.

Probably because it has been soaked in the lake water for too long, the murals are damaged in many places, making it difficult to see clearly.

Fu Zhaozhao looked along the direction of the murals one by one.

The first few murals all tell the story of how young girls were sold to rich men in the village, how they helped the rich turn those women into beauty snakes, and how they supported a whole village by selling beauty snakes. .

However, the style of the next few paintings changed immediately.

Since not every girl can successfully make a beauty snake, defective products often appear.

For these defective products, the village advocated locking them in this tower, together with the old and beautiful beauty snakes that were returned by their employers.

Later, there were more and more beautiful snakes in the village, and the people in the village were not willing to keep so many beautiful snakes. Suddenly one day, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe came to the village. He seemed to have provided the village with an idea.

Everyone in the village beamed with joy after hearing this, and even held a big banquet to celebrate it.

The banquet lasted for three days. During these three days, the food delivered to Guta became less and less every day, until only one portion was delivered a day.

There were so many defective items that one serving of food was simply not enough.

A month later, the village opened the gate of the ancient pagoda that contained the defective products and the old beauty snake.

There was a strong fishy smell inside, and many creatures in the ancient tower seemed to have died.

And among the layers of corpses, sat a young beauty snake holding flesh and biting it.

The body color of the young beauty snake seems to be different from other beauty snakes. The mural is specially painted in emerald green with a little yellow color, which proves how unique this beauty snake is.

The people who opened the door seemed not to have expected this situation, so they rushed to ask the monk again.

The Taoist priest seemed to have another idea, pointing towards the top of the mountain.

The people on the mural seemed to have received something great, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Then they tied up the young beauty snake that appeared in the ancient pagoda with ropes, and finally buried it in the mountain. The most special thing was that there was a particularly large stone in the buried place.

It was like the stone Fu Zhaozhao looked at on the water.

It seemed that the position of the mural with the stone was not right, so Fu Zhaozhao reached out and touched it lightly.

As a result, the original mural was destroyed, revealing the lower part.

Qi Guanshan was also fascinated by it and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

As a result, he accidentally bumped into the young beauty snake's face.

The next moment, the beautiful snake on the mural seemed to come to life, its eyes fixed on the person outside the painting, as if it wanted to rush out and bite him.

Qi Guanshan was so frightened that he quickly took his hand back.

Fu Zhaozhao gave him a look and told him not to cause trouble, then ignored the other person's reaction and continued to look at the mural below.

After the people in the village followed the method provided by the Taoist priest, more and more beautiful snakes were produced, and there were fewer and fewer women in the village.

At the same time, more and more wealthy employers are buying beauty snakes.

It's just that once the beauty snake reaches a certain age, the village will ask the older beauty snake to be returned, and at the same time, the newly made beauty snake will be given to the employer.

During this back and forth, both parties were smiling, except for the beautiful snake who was treated as a commodity.

The village keeps the old beauty snakes in the ancient tower. When the number of beauty snakes in the ancient tower reaches a certain amount, a young beauty snake will be cultivated according to the previous method.

Then repeat the previous operation.

This kind of thing happened too often, and the resentment in the ancient pagoda became more and more serious.

Men in the village began to die one after another.

It's like a plague that started with the death of the first man.

Fu Zhaozhao noticed that the first man to die was the first to stand at the forefront, and should also be the man who supported this the most.

Then the village began to panic.
