Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 368: Mysterious Snake

Tuofeng Ridge is located near Laoya Town in the upper reaches of the Shajiang River. Outside the town is a hump-shaped mountain ridge, and there is a dilapidated Dragon King Temple outside.

Posuzhou is in a war-torn place, and the locals have no way of knowing what happened in the past hundred years. The origin of the Dragon King Temple has long been buried in the dust of war, and no one knows it.

At dusk, five figures appeared outside the Dragon King Temple, which had mostly collapsed. They stood in front of the old temple and talked softly:

"...Looking at the traces, the stone statues in the temple are at least hundreds of years old; the people who built temples and ancestral halls probably worshiped them as gods out of awe after accidentally seeing the true appearance of the immortal demon; since it is a dragon-headed person, I guess it is a god A type of Flood Dragon that can only transform into human form..."

"Brother Zhao, you are a swordsman, how can you still understand this?"

"Master is a Taoist priest. Although he has never taught me step by step, he has still talked about these simple things. The Blood Immortal Tyrant has a profound Taoism and must know more than me."

"This is no nonsense. Uncle Blood Master is famous for his wisdom and bravery. There is an old saying in Tie Cu Mansion, 'Tie Cu Mansion has one brain, the ancestor has eight buckets, the concubine has two buckets, and Master Blood Master has two brains." One fight, and the rest will owe..."

"Jiujiang, you need to change your flattering temperament, or at least learn to photograph the right places; for me, the man from Tiecu Mansion, being smart is not a word of praise; being smart means that you can judge the situation when doing things, and in some cases, you will be timid. I, the man of Tiecu Mansion, can do anything but cannot be a coward. If you have a brain, you won’t let it take over. No matter who you are, the Immortal Venerable ancestor, I will fight if you dare. If you dare to offend, I will beat you to death. Once this 'advance, never retreat' mentality is played out, your opponent will give you a three-pointer when they see you, and they will collapse without a fight..."

"Thank you for your guidance, uncle..."

…

In a small forest about half a mile away from the Dragon King Temple, Cui Yingying, dressed as a mature beauty martial artist, pressed the handle of the scimitar at her waist and listened to the chat of the five people. She couldn't help but shook her head secretly and said in her heart:

"Yutang, you disciples, disciples and grandsons, each one compares himself to the other."

After a long time, Shangguan Patriarch, who had already returned from Zuo Mansion and was almost fattened by Mrs. Zuo, responded in his heart:

"Don't let your brain operate even if you have a brain. It's about overcoming your natural instincts and not being influenced by fear, cowardice and other emotions. You'd rather die than give in when you shouldn't do something, and die when you should do something. I can't understand this coward like you. "

"Yeah?"

"snort……"

After humming rather coldly, there was no sound again.

Cui Yingying waited for a while but got no answer. She was too lazy to put her hot face against Tangtang's plump and round cold ass, and turned her eyes to the Dragon King Temple again.

The five people in the Dragon King Temple are Shangguan Baxue and two Fellow Daoists who work together to slay demons. They came here to investigate the disappearance of the monks in the Tuofeng Ridge area.

Cheng Jiujiang and Zhao Wuxie were walking in Fu Lin's country. They heard that Shangguan Baxue had come to slay demons. Since the distance was not too far, following them to take advantage of the opportunity was similar to following a big boss to fight monsters and pick up equipment.

However, the situation in the Tuofeng Ridge area was not as calm as the five people chatting.

Cui Yingying's combat power is not very high, but she is three thousand years old, and her experience is far beyond that of ordinary monks.

She was originally following Zuo Lingquan as a tail, but after catching the crab essence, she took the lead and came upstream.

Observing the trend of the Shajiang River on the way, I saw that this river that enters the sea is a 'Dragon Road' - that is, the inland Flood Dragon. The route of the Dragon Transformation from the river to the sea is similar to the Qingdu River in Jiuzong, but The scale is much smaller.

In addition to river fish, there are also snakes and eels among the spiritual beasts that can travel from the river to the sea. As long as the spiritual veins of the Shajiang River are not broken, there must be a 'blessed place' for the Flood Dragon's genus to practice in the upper reaches.

After Cui Yingying came to Shituoling, she found that the density of snakes in the forest was much higher than other places. People in the town even made a living by catching snakes, so this 'blessed land' was most likely nearby.

However, there is nothing underground in Shituo Ridge. The range of this vicinity ranges from tens of miles to thousands of miles, so it is difficult to determine the location.

With Cui Yingying's skills, it is not too difficult to investigate this kind of thing. However, Posu Continent is a place where immortals and demons fight. The Immortal Venerables of the Jade Order are the main thugs, and the Immortal Lords of both good and evil are in charge behind the scenes.

In a place like this, Cui Yingying could only stand at the rear and act as a wet nurse, wandering around the front lines by herself. If she was caught by the Youying alien race, she would most likely have to meet her master.

Therefore, Cui Yingying was still cowardly. She originally wanted to ask the Shangguan ancestor for his opinion, but the ancestor was too lazy to pay attention to her, so she stopped asking. She just followed Shangguan Baxue and others, secretly observing for clues.

Shangguan Baxue is a new generation of Qingkui. Like Zuo Lingquan, he is half-step jade, but he has more experience in slaying demons and demons.

Shangguan Baxue's words were very rough, but to become a young leader, how can he really be a reckless man who "has a brain but doesn't use it".

After leaving the Dragon King Temple, Shangguan Baxue and four teammates went to the Tuofeng Ridge area to investigate, and found that there were more snakes in the Tuofeng Ridge area, but there were no other abnormalities.

The last time the monk discovered that the location of the solitary grave where the scholar worshiped could not be found, Shangguan Baxue simply deduced several locations where the grave might exist based on the secular Feng Shui theory.

What happened next was very iron-clad. Several people showed their Divine Abilities and started digging all over the mountains and plains. Since there were people or demons worshiping it, it meant that the tomb had a special meaning. If someone dug it up, the person behind the scenes would inevitably jump out.

Cui Yingying felt that the success rate of this method was worrying, but after waiting in secret for a long time, the things hidden near Tuofeng Ridge were dug out by a few stupid young people...

——

Along the banks of the Shajiang River, the setting sun shines on the surface of the river, turning the river water and the vegetation on the river bank into golden red.

Three figures walked side by side, observing the surrounding mountains and fields along the way; a river crab the size of a millstone was walking sideways by the river, holding a small wooden box with its claws. Zuo Lingquan also gave it a small bottle of Qingdu River water essence. It is now very peaceful and changes. It became Tuanzi's new mount.

The dumplings couldn't eat the big crabs, so they lacked interest. They lay on the crab shells with their little claws facing the sky, "cuckoo chirp chirp", probably talking about Qiu Tao's masterpiece:

A crab is half a foot long, and the crab shell is bigger than the pot; turn it over one day, fennel and star anise are fried...

Zuo Lingquan didn't come to visit the mountains and rivers, so naturally he wouldn't have the leisurely mood of Tuanzi. With his hand on the hilt of his sword, he looked at some stone walls on the river bank:

"The mountain walls on the bank of the river are relatively neat, it doesn't look like it was washed out by water, nor does it look like it was manually excavated..."

"I'm afraid it was a big river in ancient times, or there was a big flood. When we passed that small village just now, there were stone buckles hanging ropes under the old bridge. They should have been used to hang swords. It is estimated that dragons passed by in this river..."

"Is there a dragon upstream?"

"Alas, dragons don't go back. If they don't enter the sea, they won't break through. The Transcending Tribulation failed and died on the way. There must be no real dragons in the upper reaches, but there must be Flood Dragons in the upper reaches of the river that can Dragon Transformation, and there are monster lairs. If so, there is a high probability that it has something to do with dragons and snakes..."

Xie Qiutao carefully analyzed her opinion, and what she said was well-founded. Zuo Lingquan didn't take it as nonsense, and listened attentively.

Tang Jingxun didn't have a deep understanding of these cultivation matters, and it was not easy to intervene, so when things were in doubt, she naturally asked her wife in her heart.

But the Shangguan Patriarch is not a god of heaven and earth. He is sitting in the Nine Sects. How can he know the details of Posuzhou? He did not respond directly. Tang Jingxun had to turn his attention to the delicious and lazy Tuan Tuan:

"Tuanzi, go ahead and explore the road, see where there are monsters, save us from looking for them."

"grumble."

Turning the dumpling over, he pointed his wings at his feet and said, "Mom, do you think this crab looks like a monster? If it does, Bird Bird will roast it now. Bird Bird will eat the crab legs, and the rest will be given to Mom..."

It's a pity that before the nagging was over, Jing Xun gave her a fierce look, and Tuanzi could only reluctantly fly out to be a scout.

The three of them followed the river crab essence to explore upstream. When it was dark, they came to a tributary of the Shajiang River, about a hundred miles away from Tuofeng Ridge.

The river crab spirit seemed to be afraid of the small river upstream, so he became cautious when moving forward. He walked upstream along the river, entered the deep mountains and old forests, and came to an inaccessible water pool, pointing towards the deep black pool.

Zuo Lingquan calmed down and came to the edge of the pool. Through the silver moonlight, he could see that the pool was very deep, with living water emerging from it. Not surprisingly, there was an underground river underneath, but there was no sign of Monster Qi or spiritual energy in the water.

The river crab spirit stood on the edge of the pool, pointing with its crab claws at the gap under a big stone, probably to indicate that this was its hometown, and pointed at a few small sequins stuck in the cracks of the stone.

Xie Qiutao frowned slightly and used the magic of object control to pick up the sequins stuck in the cracks of the stone - they were snake scales the size of a thumb.

"There are different types of scales. There must be a snake cave underneath this pool; I guess a Beast Race monk was practicing there, and he casually discarded the bottle containing the elixir, and the water washed it here..."

Zuo Lingquan does not question this statement. Human monks who have taken elixirs cannot always keep elixir boxes and empty bottles on their bodies. Sometimes they just throw them away. Beast Race's high-level monks can practice and take elixirs. It is reasonable to leave such practice garbage behind.

Now that he roughly found the location, Zuo Lingquan wanted to follow the clues and sneak into the monster's lair from the pool.

But before he could make any move, Tuanzi, who was standing guard on the treetops, called out "chichichi—" twice and pointed his wings toward the depths of the mountain.

Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and signaled to be silent. After careful perception, he found that there was a fierce aura that covered the sky and covered the sky. It was definitely not coming from a human monk. Even though he had not encountered the monster many times, he could still tell it instantly. It's Monster Qi.

Xie Qiutao's face changed slightly and he took off the iron pipa from behind:

"Monster Qi is so heavy, did you alert the enemy?"

Zuo Lingquan frowned and stared at the mountains: "It's not coming for us, it should be a monster that alarmed others..."

"hold head high--"

Before he finished speaking, a roar rang out from deep in the mountains. The sound was like the roar of a dragon, and it carried a soul-stirring ghostly and evil aura, which made people feel horrified when they heard it.

The already cautious river crab spirit was so frightened that she dived into the water and into the narrow cracks in the rocks...

——

Scratch——

The sun had just set. On the shady slope of Tuofeng Ridge, in a wasteland overlooking the town below, Cheng Jiujiang took a shovel and dug a grave at the selected location.

All five people were digging, and there were as many as a hundred holes dug on the hillside. Tuofeng Ridge was located near the secular villages and towns. Several coffins and bones were dug out, but they were all mortal graves, and they were filled back in after no abnormalities were found.

As for whether digging other people's graves will damage their moral character, Cheng Jiujiang and others have no psychological pressure; because according to materialism, people have entered reincarnation after death, and what is buried in the burial ground is only the rotten body that has lost its soul, as well as earth, wood, sand and gravel. No different; according to idealism, they dig graves to clear away the monsters near the town and ensure that the surrounding people are not affected by the monsters. The people buried in the graves must be the ancestors of the people in the village and town. Even if there is knowledge under the spring, how can they interfere with the purity? And hate them.

Cheng Jiujiang couldn't remember how many graves he had dug. After digging four feet and one inch in the wasteland, the shovel hit a hard object and made a soft "ding" sound. By the feel of his hand, he knew that the coffin underneath was made of earthly fir. , definitely for mortal use.

Cheng Jiujiang sighed and originally wanted to fill it in, but to be on the safe side, he pulled away the dirt and prepared to open the coffin for an autopsy.

This behavior completely crossed the bottom line of a person in the dark.

As soon as Cheng Jiujiang made a move, a dark wind blew on Tuofeng Ridge, and dark clouds obscured the silver moon that had just emerged.

Shangguan Baxue, Zhao Wuxie and others immediately jumped out from all over the mountain when they sensed something was wrong, gathered in one place, and looked up to the top of Tuofeng Ridge.

Tuofeng Ridge is not high, and there are only a few old pine trees on the top of the mountain. At this time, a figure appeared among the pine trees.

The figure is wearing a scholar's robe, with bare hands, and his face does not look weird or evil, but his eyes are like those of snakes, with a hint of coldness, staring at the five people below:

"You are the Immortal Master of the 'Right Path'. Don't you feel that you have lost your identity by digging up the resting places of ordinary people in the middle of the night?"

The distance between the two sides was about one mile. Shangguan Baxue couldn't see clearly the details of this person, but he could tell from his eyes that he was definitely not a human race. Seeing that the other party spoke quite like a human being, he said in a deep voice:

"Who is this person? Tell me your name."

The scholar on the top of the mountain did not hide the murderous intention in his eyes, but his tone was very calm:

"Xuan Ye. I was originally a small snake in the mountains. I fell into a snake net when I was young and was rescued by an old farmer in the town. When I practiced Taoism, the old farmer had passed away and was buried here, so I often come to worship. You have to kill demons, Even if you come to me, why do you have to do such a dirty thing that even Beast Race is ashamed of?"

Cheng Jiujiang frowned, and it was a bit difficult to retaliate when he was said.

There was no reaction on Shangguan Baxue's face. He has practiced for so many years and already understood the nature of Beast Race.

It is not uncommon for monsters to repay their kindness, but this does not mean that they have a good impression of the human race. They are just grateful to a certain person who saved them in the past; rescue? Beast Race is still mainly based on hating the human race.

Beast Race also has names because of the influence of human culture, but most of the names are related to the blood of the body. Shangguan Baxue heard that he claimed to be Xuan Ye, and his body was a snake, so he roughly guessed that the other party was a Xuan Ye who had practiced Taoism.

Xuan Snake has the blood of a beast, fierce and cold-blooded. There are people in the recipe, who treat people like chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. Like tigers and wolves, they are wild and difficult to domesticate.

At this time, the other party had the intention to kill but did not do anything, and was still communicating with them. The only possibility was that the other party was inconvenient to do it, otherwise they would have been slaughtered long ago.

Shangguan Baxue raised his hand to fill up the excavated wasteland, and said in a deep voice:

"Since this tomb has been discovered, if you don't die, or if I don't get silenced, the owner of the tomb won't be able to rest in peace. Why bother talking nonsense?"

Xuan Ye, who was dressed as a scholar, snorted coldly, and seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in the mountains:

"This is a virtual image. The real body is eighty miles to the northwest."

Shangguan Baxue heard the voice sound familiar. After he realized it, he was slightly taken aback. He didn't say much, stopped talking to the scholar, and galloped towards the northwest.

Xuan Ye on the top of the mountain looked at the few people who were chasing to the northwest, his eyes were still calm and cold:

"You are asking for your own death."

Several people made no response and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xuan Ye frowned, his figure slowly dissipated among the pine forests, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already reached the depths of the Snow Wolf Mountain Range, above a peak.

There is thousands of miles of flying snow in the Xuelang Mountains, and there is no grass, trees, light or shadows to be seen, but there is a group of figures walking between the mountains, aiming at the peak where Xuan Ye is. Green long sword.

There is not only Xuan Ye on the top of the peak, but there is also a silver hill beside him. At first glance, it is covered with white snow, but when you look closely, you can find the waves fluctuating with the wind. They are silver hairs that are as long as reeds, and a pair of scarlet eyes protrude from the hill. , looking back at Fulin Kingdom from afar, the wolf head spit out the words:

"Which side to kill first?"

"The Beast King has an order not to kill Qiu Youyou, and the others beheaded and thrown to Wangchuan City."

"The little loach in the snake den can't stop these little monkeys."

"Let's do business first."
