Chapter 21 Encounter with the Python
"If you're not busy, I'll send you a seat and you can come over. I need your help with something."
I immediately said: "But I still have three days off today. Is your matter difficult?"
"That's it, otherwise you would..."
"Forget it, forget it, I'll go find you, you wait for me."
I don't know why, but I just agreed.
I am very interested in this Yan Ling!
Firstly, grandpa said that she might know the whereabouts of my mother, and secondly, I also have a good feeling about Yan Ling.
That girl is good-looking, and she can be considered a person in the world of martial arts. She is in line with the circle that I am now stepping into. It is always better to have familiar people around me than to be in the dark under the lamp.
The address is displayed in a place called Xiahuling, with a sentence attached at the end: "Don't go up the mountain after dark, wait for me."
I responded to the message, but the other party never responded.
It made me curious and nervous.
Speaking of which, Yan Ling and I have a one-time relationship at best, but it's not really a good relationship. It's a bit of a risk for me to choose this way.
But I still got on the bus to Xiahuling.
After getting off the car, the surroundings were a bit desolate. The nearest village was still half a mile away, surrounded by cornfields, and not a single person could be seen.
At this time, it was still early, so I took out my mobile phone to contact Yan Ling, but the other party actually turned off his phone.
I was speechless for a while!
I've been traveling all day, and I have to wait here for news about her.
Being bored, I wandered around the foot of the mountain and soon saw a peach tree.
The peach trees are very lush, with small pecan-like fruits hanging on them and layers of white hairs hanging on them.
Something suddenly appeared in my mind, and I squatted under the peach tree!
There are many trees in the world that ward off evil spirits, and one of the most famous ten fairy trees is peach tree.
At a quick glance, I could tell that the peach wood was at least a hundred years old, which was amazing!
Ordinary trees have a lifespan. After ten or twenty years, peach trees will begin to wither. However, there are some alternative species that can break through this shackles. Generally, this kind of peach trees are not easy to see, but all this kind of peach trees have certain characteristics.
The spirituality of peach wood can ward off evil spirits!
Centennial peach wood, and wild peach wood is definitely the best material!
But I still got up without breaking off the branches to use, because I found that there were several jujube trees around here!
As the saying goes: There is sandalwood in the south and jujube in the north. Peach wood is not used for sandalwood and jujube!
Jujube wood is even better at warding off evil spirits!
Looking at those jujube trees, the youngest ones must be over a hundred years old, and I even think some of them are around three hundred years old.
If I put it in front of my eyes, I definitely wouldn't be able to see it, but now my eyes are like lights. Everything I see has an inexplicable meaning, and I can identify some things by following the meaning.
It was like a master passed his vision to me, and I was enlightened directly.
When I arrived in front of the jujube tree, I looked up.
There are certain things to pay attention to when harvesting wood. You can't just break it wherever you want. It can be called wood that can be used directly for magical instruments. It has spirituality.
Last time I saw Yan Ling playing with his braids, I also wanted to get a treasure for self-defense. I was afraid of worrying my grandpa when I got home, so I didn't have the nerve to say it. Now that I see this jujube tree, I naturally can't let it go.
soon!
I chose a jujube branch!
The jujube tree branch is thicker than the thumb, which is different from other jujube trees. It is very straight like the jujube tree and has no extra branches. It is like the jujube tree has turned into a human and is holding a sword!
I took out a red rope from my body and wrapped it around the jujube tree branch.
Then I drew a circle around the jujube tree, knelt in front of the jujube tree, and muttered: "Today, please ask the jujube god to give me wood to help my disciples slay demons. I will earn merit in the future, and I will give it to the jujube god."
After saying that, I endured the pain and bit my finger and drew a line on the jujube wood.
It stands to reason that this step is not necessary. Normally, one would do it well in advance and come with a tribute, but obviously I was not prepared in that way, so I used my own blood as a tribute.
The blood dried up quickly, leaving a shallow mark, as if it had been sucked into the jujube tree.
I'm so happy!
The jujube tree agreed!
After thanking the jujube tree, I found a sharp stone from the surroundings and started cutting along the red line.
It took half an hour to take off the jujube wood. I was so tired that my eyes were filled with stars and my arms were sore.
Sure enough, happiness is always accompanied by a hint of sourness, and no good thing comes casually.
By the time I finished processing the jujube wood, the sun was already going down.
I quickly went down the mountain and stood on the side of the road. I did not forget Yan Ling's reminder.
Waving the jujube wood in my hand, the more I look at it, the more pleasing it is to my eyes, and it becomes more and more comfortable!
The jujube wood is two feet nine inches long, and the tip is about as thick as a little finger. It is very tough!
While I was waving, there was a swaying and rubbing sound in the cornfield in front of me. As soon as I looked over, a big python jumped out of it!
The big python was as thick as a bucket, with brown and black scales all over its body, its eyes emitting a faint light, and it swam straight towards me.
I was shocked!
This is the first time I have seen such a big python!
I quickly backed away, trying to distance myself from it!
But the python is so fast that it almost reached me in the blink of an eye!
It opened its mouth, the letters in its mouth were forked, and its sharp fangs gave off a faint golden light in the sunset!
I paint it!
I exclaimed!
Is this python going to fuck me?
I have no grudges against it!
There is a big mountain behind you. Because it is close to the road, it is a bit steep. It will be too late to climb up.
In desperation, I swung the stick and decided to strike first!
Bang!
The stick hit the big python's belly right, and the python made a squeaking sound from its mouth and retreated suddenly.
I frowned!
Only then did I realize that there was an abnormal dent in the belly of the big python!
The scales there fell off, revealing black rotten flesh!
The big boa constrictor looked at me, shook its head for a while, and finally turned its head and headed towards the corn field.
My heart moved: "Wait a minute!"
The big python actually stopped and turned to look at me, with the light of humanity shining in its eyes.
"You want me to help you?"
The big python suddenly opened its mouth and its head kept nodding.
I smiled bitterly and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead: "Next time, don't be so scary when asking for help."
I bravely walked towards the big python.
If the other party lies to me, then I have thrown myself into a trap.
But grandpa said that the Mang family is also an important group of people on the list of many people who go to the Immortal Hall. There are few evil animals that hurt people. Almost all of them live in the remote mountains where there are no human beings. They can be regarded as an immortal family with good nature.
The closer you get, the clearer you see!
The big python actually had half a piece of scissors stuck in its belly!
The scissors were almost gone in, leaving only half of the handle.
Looking at that position, I guess every time the python moves, it will be in excruciating pain.
The scissors were already rusty. I don’t know how long they had been stuck in its belly.
I reached over with my hand, and suddenly a fishy smell hit me, and the head of the big python appeared in front of me.
My whole body suddenly became tense!
The mouth of the boa constrictor was less than ten centimeters away from my head, and the words it swallowed even formed rapid wind sounds in my ears!
Mumble...
I swallowed and said, "You mean you can't touch it?"
The big python nodded.
Chapter completed!
