Chapter 21 The Snake and the Mysterious Man
"Teng snake!" This thought flashed through my mind like lightning, and I couldn't believe it.
This snake is a divine creature in Taoist legends. There is a kind of snake that can turn into a dragon without turning into a dragon. It is said to be this kind of snake, which is also called a soaring snake. Its biggest feature is that it has no
Fly with wings.
There are many opinions about it, and many things in Taoism are inevitably related to it, such as divination, Qimen, and even in legends it is also a high-ranking divine object, the twelve star generals, the god of fire, and the most mysterious hidden among the five phenomena.
The middle divine object that does not appear in the middle main land is hidden and not visible, so people generally only talk about the four images.
In short, at that moment I was completely confused and understood that my life had been full of ups and downs and I had experienced a lot. I even accepted Kunlun Penglai, but how could I accept the fact that a legendary ‘mythical beast’ really existed?
Doesn’t that mean that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is true? Does that mean that I still have to believe in the Jade Emperor? Even if I believe in the Three Pure Ones, I may not be able to accept the existence of gods all over the sky!
I can only tell myself that it is a 'different species', a mysterious creature that I have never seen before. But when it appeared in front of King Liu Sheng so suddenly, King Liu Sheng was probably shocked, and he even retreated twice in a row.
I didn't dare to face this weird little snake.
As soon as he retreated like this, the spell he cast on me became ineffective. My soul was shaken at that moment, and the feeling surged back into my own body like a tide. But such a sudden return was like a tension.
When the tight rubber band was loosened, it bounced like flesh, and my soul was slightly shaken and hurt.
But the snake that soared in front of King Liu Sheng actually stopped in front of him. The very anthropomorphic figure stood up and made a strange hissing sound. For a moment, I actually felt that the air was heating up.
"Stop looking and let's go!" Master dragged me.
Although I was full of curiosity about the snake, I had no choice but to follow Master's footsteps and run deeper into the forest.
I ran for more than a hundred meters and entered the dense forest. I heard a miserable howl from King Liu Sheng. I didn’t know what happened. I couldn’t help but be curious. I turned back and glanced, but I saw flames shooting into the sky over there.
.
"Is it really a snake?" I couldn't help but mutter to myself.
As the master ran, he said to me: "There are too many hidden things in this world. There once was a great lineage, guarded by the soul of a real divine beast. Do you think I should believe it or not? However, this snake
Son, even if it is a snake, it is still a baby snake. Even Wu Tianlai, a real snake, would not have passed so easily."
There is no road in the dense forest. There are overgrown weeds and thorns, and there are potholes and rocks in the middle. My master and I ran staggeringly, and it was extremely laborious. Because my soul was injured, my overall condition was not good. I was out of breath while running.
I felt extremely shocked. I seemed to have thought of something, but my mind was still on the snake that suddenly appeared. I couldn't help but ask Master: "Is that really a snake? What if we are running? No need to run.
A baby snake."
In my mind, the best thing is to hijack the car, and then "fly far away" with Master, and meet up with everyone. This desolate and uninhabited mountain forest, with even snakes appearing, is not a good place to go. Master and I
What should we do if we get lost in there? We are still two people whose powers have been blocked. We are just stronger ordinary people. Even if we encounter some kind of beast inside, we will not be able to survive.
But the master said: "Don't think that King Liu Sheng is an easy person to get along with. Your spiritual sense is strong and your soul is also strong? What did you feel just now?"
When I mentioned the feeling just now, I broke out in cold sweat. I couldn't help but say: "Just now, I felt like if it was just a moment later, my soul would be pulled out."
"That's it! He is actually on guard against me, and seems to be wholeheartedly trying to deal with you, but in fact he is not trying his best. And even if that snake is a snake, don't you understand that natural advantages must also be acquired through acquired growth?
Although it was shocking when it appeared, I could feel
I feel like it can't overwhelm that King Liu Sheng in terms of momentum." Master ran easier than me and spoke fluently. The strange thing is that he seemed to know where to run. There were no headless flies in this dense forest.
The feeling of bumping around took me very calmly.
"Then are you afraid that they will catch up again?" I couldn't help but ask.
"For this reason, the snakes that appear later are the key to the matter. However, these snakes have become spirits and cannot really be sacrificed for us. At most, they will delay some time. In addition, Wu Tian's ten generals, I
I heard a piece of news, that is, there are people who are doing things openly, and there are also people who are doing it secretly." Master pulled us over a deep ditch that had dried up, and said one more thing to me.
But I couldn't quite understand it, so I asked Master, "What do you mean?"
"It means that they never do things alone, they always appear in the light and in the dark. They have a special way of contacting each other. If Liu Shengwang does things in the light, there will always be another Saint King not far away. We
Even if you don't find it, you still have to take precautions, do you understand?" Master explained to me this way.
It was completely dark now. Master and I were running without flashlights. Even though I felt that Master seemed to know the road, the speed inevitably slowed down, and Master even stumbled when running.
But Master’s words made me run like this, and I couldn’t help but feel chills running down my back. Even Saint King Liu was so difficult to deal with. What if there was another Saint King? What would happen? Besides, Master said that Tang She couldn’t really do it.
Even if we can deal with King Liu Sheng, those snakes are just stalling for us.
When I think about this situation, I feel tremendous pressure. I really want to run fast. But, how can I get fast in this mountain forest?
Master didn't intend to hide anything from me, and told me even worse news. He said: "There is a 'secret door' (hidden Dharma door) on the nails that are driven into our bodies. Within a certain distance,
They can all know our location through special methods. We have to escape, and time is very tight!"
Can it get any worse? I thought we had escaped! Now in this situation, at this time, I wish I could give birth to four legs. Unfortunately, this is worse than letting me see what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
All alien beasts are even more impossible.
My breathing became heavier and heavier, and Master also became short of breath. But in this dense forest, the weeds seemed to have no end, and under the moonlight, all kinds of weird screams filled the ears, making people more and more desperate.
At this time, I felt that the mysterious nail on my body began to tremble slightly. It was subtle at first, but later it became really obvious!
Because it was nailed into my flesh, I couldn't ignore it, so I just looked at Master helplessly and panicked.
We used all the tricks we could. In order to get out of this predicament, even Master had to tell "lies" to temporarily deceive Yang Sheng. If we were "caught" again this time, there really would be no way around it.
We have no choice but to fight to the death, but the result will definitely be that we lose!
And losing means we are going to die. Under normal circumstances, who would really not care about their own life or death?
I got a response from the master at this glance. He also glanced at me, then gave a wry smile and said: "It seems that King Liu Sheng has escaped from trouble and is looking for our position at this time. Otherwise, this nail would not be like this."
reaction."
"What is the distance?" I gasped. Under this predicament, I wanted to give myself a little hope, just like endless running and purposeful running. The latter will make people more motivated.
"I don't know." The master smiled bitterly, but when he looked ahead, he still said: "The only thing you can do is run, and you can't give up any hope."
"Yes!" I agreed, and my master and I continued to stumble and run in the dense forest.
Because it was a long stretch of mountains, we ran uphill, which was even more tiring. And I was thinking to myself, if there were pursuers behind, they should have caught up. They should have run easier than my master and I, because we used secret tracking techniques.
We, we are like two lights in the dark night.
I don't know if the word "bright light" gave me a hint. My back suddenly felt numb. I couldn't help but look back. Sure enough, I saw dots of lights in the distance that were still a little distance away from us.
!
I took a breath of cold air. The pursuers are coming? So fast? And since they have lighting tools, it will be a matter of time before they catch up with us.
"Master." I couldn't help but shouted feebly. When the master heard this, he suddenly turned around. He naturally saw this situation, and the beard on his face twitched, but he sighed and said to me:
: "Cheer up and keep running!"
Apart from this, what else can I do? I looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, but at this time the natural moon looked a little pale, making me breathless.
But it was also at this time that I heard the faint sound of the bamboo flute again, as if it was guiding our path ahead.
"That's right! Chengyi, work harder." The master suddenly became excited.
Chapter completed!
