Standing in front of the mountain wall, I looked at the mountain wall. It was overgrown with weeds and vines. It seemed to be a dead end, but I didn't think so. Because I had seen it before and knew that there might be unexpected changes, I didn't feel much uneasiness.

.

At this time, the noise of human voices could be vaguely heard from above the valley over there. I thought the pursuers were about to reach the top of the mountain, but I was too lazy to look back.

Xiao Ding took Master and I to stay here, smiled apologetically at Master and me, and then said: "It involves some secrets about my veins, so I'll ask Grandpa Jiang and Sanwa to wait a moment."

It was quite a novel feeling to speak solemnly, but he called me by my nickname. I smiled nonchalantly at Xiao Ding to show that I didn't care, but Master was even less likely to care.

Xiao Ding got the understanding from my master and me, and clasped his fists at us as a gesture, and then walked alone to the mountain wall about ten meters in front. Before that, he did not forget to signal us to stand still and not move. Maybe these ten meters

The distance also involves some agencies.

If those trackers get here, they will definitely suffer. Thinking of this makes me feel happy.

But I saw Xiao Ding standing still in front of the mountain wall, holding up his shiny green bamboo flute to his lips. The breeze in the valley blew Xiao Ding's long hair and old but clean long hair, playing the flute like this

The back view gave me a feeling of traveling through time, as if I had seen the graceful young master in ancient times.

But the difference is that the bamboo flute did not make any sound. It was just like the feeling I had when I first saw Xiao Ding when I was a child. He was blushing and thick-necked, playing a short bamboo flute without making any sound. I laughed at him in my heart.

, pull a leaf and make a bamboo whistle, it will be louder than him.

The warm memories of my childhood put a smile on my face, but my attention was attracted by the abnormal shaking of the mountain wall. Within a few seconds, I saw a big snake similar to a silver krait emerging from the mountain.

crawling out of the weeds on the wall.

The ferocious look really scared me, because in my impression, venomous snakes cannot grow that big, but the pattern on the snake is indeed the same as that of the Bungarus snake, with a silver circle and a black circle interlaced, a triangular shape.

The difference is that this snake has a circle of colorful colors at the seven-inch mark, and there is an arch on the back of the head, but it has not yet become a crown.

It's about 4 meters long and a bit thicker than my arm. In short, its cold aura makes people's skin crawl.

The snake swam down the mountain wall and lazily swam around Xiao Ding. Then it raised its neck in a humane manner and swam away. When it was closest to Master and me, I had goose skin all over my body.

Damn, I intuitively feel that the poison of this snake is extremely poisonous! Even if cultivators can use various powers to suppress the poison, they are still no match for this poison, which makes people feel very dangerous.

But Xiao Ding didn't care, and instead walked to the mountain wall. After fiddling with it for a while, a dull sound came from the mountain wall, and a gap opened for two people to pass through.

"Okay." Xiao Ding walked towards me and Master, smiled gently, and then still pulled me and Master to follow his footsteps and walked together to the mountain wall.

There should be that secret passage after the mountain wall. I was full of curiosity. I raised my legs to go in, but I was pulled by Xiao Ding. There were vines hanging at the entrance. Xiao Ding was not annoyed, and just reminded me softly:

"Follow me in, you have to be careful."

What should I be careful about? But I saw Xiao Ding's finger pointing at the vines. Through the moonlight, I first saw a pair of bright and narrow eyes. Upon closer inspection, cold sweat suddenly covered my forehead. I saw those vines.

Hidden among the vines were about five small snakes that were only slightly thicker than chopsticks.

I don’t know what species it is. The little snake is gray-green in color, with a triangular head like an awl. At this moment, its necks are raised, and it is looking at me warily. As long as I take another step forward, I don’t doubt that they will do anything.

Attack me without hesitation.

I can't identify what kind of snakes these are, but this small snake gives me the feeling that it is no safer than the big snake that looked like a bungara snake just now, and it is even more dangerous because they are too hidden.

But Xiao Ding didn't pay too much attention. He raised his hand lightly and didn't know what he did. The snakes swam away. Xiao Ding pulled my master and me behind the mountain wall.

There was darkness behind the mountain wall. I couldn't see what was inside at all. I could only see the cold moonlight outside the mountain wall. But Xiaoding still asked Master and me to stand still and fiddled with something at the door.

The wall is completely closed.

At this time, the moonlight was no longer visible, and there was complete darkness behind the mountain wall.

Xiao Ding took out a flashlight from nowhere. After lighting it, it illuminated the inside of the mountain wall. I began to feel uncomfortable and subconsciously covered my eyes. Master did the same. But at this moment, Xiao Ding was suddenly approached by Xiao Ding.

Ding Ren put a flashlight in his hand.

I squinted my eyes and turned on the flashlight. After a few seconds to adapt, I opened my eyes. I was surprised and saw a magical world.

I didn't expect that this so-called secret passage was actually in a stalactite cave. Under the flashlight, these white stalactites and the water droplets on the stalactites reflected a psychedelic light. It was so beautiful that it made people sigh.

Between the strange-shaped stalactites, there is a neat path paved with stone slabs.

And the surprise is not only the stalactites, there is actually an underground river in this cave. The river is not wide, and the water flow is not large. It flows smoothly through. No wonder I didn't hear any sound just now.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Xiao Ding's voice was gentle, but there was still a trace of pride. After all, this is the place he wants to protect throughout his life, and it is normal to be proud of it.

"Yes!" I nodded hurriedly, realizing that surprises may occur at any time in life. Maybe you felt that you were in a desperate situation one second, but you persisted and did not choose to give up. The next second you will see a different scenery.

.

I didn't expect that such a scenery could be hidden in such a continuous mountain range and wild and dense forest.

"Let's go, but follow me. After all, there is a formation guarding it, and there are many ancestors inside!" Xiao Ding said with a chuckle.

I found that although Xiao Ding had a shy smile, he really liked to laugh. Suddenly I found that I liked this person a little bit, because people who are lonely in the wilderness and can often smile are always optimistic and warm.

, who doesn’t like such a person?

Thinking about this, my impression of Xiao Ding became a little better. Because of his direct temperament, I felt less scrupulous about asking questions. I said: "Who is the ancestor?" It's not that the Shemen people are few and far between.

Xiao Ding has become the only guardian of the mountain, so why are there still ancestors?

Facing my question, Xiao Ding smiled and did not answer. Suddenly he winked at me mysteriously and said to me: "Do you want to see your ancestors?"

Look at the ancestor? I was baffled, but the master took his cigarette in his mouth again. This time he was smoking a real cigarette. From the look on his face, which was not novel at all, it was obvious that he had seen the so-called ancestor.

of.

Before I had time to ask anything, Xiao Ding had already pulled me to the side of the underground river and motioned for me to put away the flashlight, but he gently shined the flashlight into the underground river. I followed the light of the flashlight and looked

, almost exclaimed.

Because I saw a huge snake lying in the underground river. Most of its body was in the water, and its head and half of its body were lazily resting on the other bank. Its head alone was bigger than the ones I just saw.

The head of the giant snake that comes out to fight is even bigger.

If I have to describe it, it is half the size of a large water tank commonly used in rural areas, and there is no fleshy crown on its head, but a small bump is bulging in the middle (relative to the big head, it is small), and it is similar to the one outside.

Unlike the dangerous 'bungaur' whose bulge hangs softly, this ancestor's bulge appears to be extremely hard.

It is white all over, but it is not that dazzling white, but a deep gray white, which is similar to the color of stalactites. No wonder I didn't see it at first glance.

Xiao Ding withdrew his flashlight and continued walking on the trail with me. I was so shocked that I just followed Xiao Ding numbly, but what I was thinking in my heart was that the Chinese people knew that there were still hidden things like this in these uninhabited areas.

Does this exist?

But Xiao Ding said in my ear: "This is the one with the best temper among the ancestors in this cave? Didn't you see that the look in his eyes just now was so gentle and gentle?"

How dare I look into the eyes of this big snake? Just by looking at its size, I was already shocked and frightened. I asked myself that I have seen many big snakes and more than one snake spirit, but none of these snakes that Xiao Ding showed me.

I feel so shocked.

"Are you wondering about those snakes at the door?" Xiao Ding always talked endlessly when talking about snakes.

"Well, I've never seen it before." Of course I was curious.

"Oh, how can a snake that comes to guard the secret path, a snake that guards the door for our ancestors, be a mortal thing? A mutated snake that practices cultivation in the mountains is certainly extraordinary. You must know that mutated snakes are born with spirits, and their cultivation is better than

Those ordinary snakes are much stronger." Xiao Ding said and laughed again.

Then he looked at the master and asked: "Grandpa Jiang, how did you think of coming here to get out of trouble?"
