At the foot of Bashu County City, several riders rushed out of the city gate in the heavy rain.
The county guard Wen Weng held a torch and led the way at the front.
A slight mana filled the palm of his hand, the wind could not blow out the torch, and the rain did not hit the torch.
The light of the flames illuminated the surrounding area for tens of meters, and also illuminated the faces showing different emotions.
Wen Weng's atmosphere was calm, Dong Zhongshu's eyes showed a little excitement, Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang were apprehensive, and Zhang Xuezhou was thoughtful.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't understand why he couldn't go to Chang'an City. Dong Zhongshu's secretive way of talking made him a little confused.
But Zhang Xuezhou was not impatient.
For him, as long as he follows Dong Zhongshu, he will get the information he wants sooner or later.
He calculated the time when he might return, and thought about the mission of His Majesty.
After walking out of the secret place, Zhang Xuezhou was obviously as high as the sky as a bird can fly. He had just mastered the nine evasive techniques. He didn't care where he lay or whether he would be hungry for a day or two.
As long as it is not in a special dangerous area, it is relatively safe for Zhang Xuezhou.
Even worse, there was Dong Zhongshu, a person he had met several times, who helped to clean up the situation.
He and Dong Zhongshu only had one trip to Lingnan, but the person who knew Zhang Xuezhou the most during his trip to Lingnan was Dong Zhongshu.
This is a man who used his magic weapon to make amends after destroying the spiritual jade with magic. Not to mention his noble character, Dong Zhongshu is indeed the most kind person among the monks Zhang Xuezhou has seen since his debut. He is even a bit pedantic in his kindness.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't know whether Dong Zhongshu was relieved when he was dating him, but he was obviously very relieved about Dong Zhongshu.
Correspondingly, he did believe what Dong Zhongshu said, but Zhang Xuezhou could not understand the reason.
He followed behind, taking his time and following the crowd as he galloped.
The wind and waves had less impact on Zhang Xuezhou, while the rain splashed on the raincoat like splashing water.
"Dharma can be gathered together or loosened..."
Running ahead, Dong Zhongshu's voice came. Zhang Xuezhou was stunned for a moment and listened attentively.
What the other party is talking about is not about magic, but about magic, which is the magic power in the body.
Zhang Xuezhou followed Dong Zhongshu's guidance and used his magic power for a moment, and saw that the rainwater splashing on his body seemed to bounce off the lotus leaf, and then flew out again in an instant.
This way of using magic power is undoubtedly a little trick in life. It is difficult for Wenwen to be invulnerable in heavy rain, but it can also avoid most of the rain.
Zhang Xuezhou shook Tianyi, and his body suddenly felt dry and comfortable.
"Something's wrong!"
Riding his horse forward, Dong Zhongshu occasionally looked behind him.
He taught him a little magic trick that he used, and Zhang Xuezhou learned it very quickly.
But the two showed completely different effects.
Dong Zhongshu looked at himself washing his face with a faint glow of magic power emitting from his right hand, blocking the rain, and then looked at Zhang Xuezhou behind him who was riding his horse normally. He felt that he had a toothache.
If possible, he would also like to learn from Zhang Xuezhou this method of washing the whole body to avoid rain.
His spellcasting was only limited to his hands, and he needed to cover parts of his body with his hands. However, when Zhang Xuezhou cast spells, he covered his whole body.
Dong Zhongshu had a certain degree of pride in himself. With the imperial court behind him, he basically learned all the spells he could learn from the books collected by the imperial court, but there was no book that mentioned how to cast spells in this way.
Zhang Xuezhou's method of casting spells is very special and useless for most spells, but Dong Zhongshu likes this unusual ability.
He likes to be different.
Only by being different can he find more possibilities in the differences.
For a moment, he was a little happy to see his hunting spirit, but he felt that it had been declining for a while, and now he started to get lucky again.
But Dong Zhongshu suppressed this little thought in his heart for the time being. He looked at Wen Weng who was leading the way.
"The Taiping Weir is sixty-three miles outside Shu County. It will take us about an hour to mount our horses at night!"
As if aware of Dong Zhongshu's gaze, Wen Weng, who was running in front, responded.
"The Ba Snake likes to wander out of its nest in times of wind and rain to look for food. It may be farther away from us, or it may be closer. The time is difficult to determine, but as long as we smear pig blood on our mount, the Ba Snake will definitely come after us!"
You can reach a certain location more accurately at night, but finding a certain kind of creature in a certain place is a matter of luck.
When Wen Weng spoke, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
"I discovered the Naba snake causing trouble three years ago, and ordered nearby villagers to sacrifice slaughtered livestock. It has become accustomed to the smell of blood!" Wen Weng said.
"Zhong Wengguo is a wise man!" Dong Zhongshu said repeatedly.
"I was unable to restrain myself. I asked for help but did not respond, which caused the disaster to exist for several years and has been postponed until today. I am ashamed!"
Wen Weng looked ashamed, while Dong Zhongshu shook his head.
Not everyone in the court knows this information, but Wen Weng, who has entered the realm of self-reliance, cannot yet solve the problem. Few people in the same realm dare to take the initiative to take over things. It is difficult for those in the third rank to travel thousands of miles to get rid of a big snake. As for the military region The strong men have been fighting in the past few years, and they cannot be easily mobilized by Wenweng.
Various reasons have delayed the Ba Snake matter until now.
Wen Weng's strategy was also procrastination, using sacrificial animals to fill the opponent's stomach and prevent the opponent from wreaking havoc on the villagers.
This has even developed a certain dependence on the food habits of the snake.
For a while, both of them had their own thoughts.
When Dong Zhongshu focused on the distance that was still more than thirty miles away, he couldn't help but turn his attention to Zhang Xuezhou.
Wen Weng patted the pig blood clot hanging on his mount and squeezed the softness of the pig blood. He felt that Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang were doing things very safely.
Pig blood will coagulate if left for a long time, but if it is in the center, the pig blood will still not be formed and will remain in the form of plasma.
This is something that the Sheriff's Mansion prepares all year round. When it's over night, it's used for cooking, and the next day it's bought pig blood for storage. Frequent preparation may not necessarily come in handy, but when the opportunity arises, it's obvious that you can seize it.
The pig blood cut by Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang was just right and most of the plasma was retained.
After just pinching it slightly, Weng Weng's hands were stained with sticky and smelly plasma.
He wiped his hands on the horse's back, and there was an uneasy agitation coming from the taut horse's thighs.
"Horse, horse, I can't bear to use you as bait, but the wind and rain can't control my mood. If it rains at noon, I can't move it until noon. I don't have time to find a pig to bleed in the middle of the night. , I can only use you to recharge..."
Wen Weng wiped the pig's blood on the horse's back. He originally thought that the horse was uneasy after smelling blood, but he soon noticed something unusual.
A fishy smell came from the wind and rain, and his scalp suddenly became numb.
"The Nappa snake seems to be near us!"
Compared with the area that occupied Taipingyan in the past, the Ba snake now wandered an extremely long distance.
"It seems to be very hungry. Its foraging range has far exceeded usual. Its destination is probably Shu County!"
Wen Weng shouted, causing everyone to be on alert.
When the flame on his torch suddenly burned, he felt two red lights coming from hundreds of meters away.
The dark and deep red light hung high like a red lantern, and Weng Weng could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
He was very familiar with the terrain and knew that the front was flat, and that the two red lights were nearly ten feet high from the ground.
Sixty feet long is already considered a giant python. If it were to be ten feet high from the ground, the opponent's body would be at least ten feet longer.
Just thinking about the speed of growth of this subspecies of Ba snake, Wen Weng couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
This was far beyond what the fishing net could tie down, and it directly broke half of his previous plan.
But just thinking about the damage and casualties that might be caused by Ba Snake rushing into Shu County, Wen Weng felt that there was no way out.
"The strong wind and rain are determined!"
He shouted loudly, and when he approached with galloping horses, a seal immediately broke through the rain curtain and fell towards the red light.
A long ruler was quickly put into the palm of his hand.
"Bah!"
Behind Wen Weng, Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang drew their bows.
When the two shouted, the sharp arrows left the bows and shot in the direction of the red light.
But as the horses approached and the fire illuminated Ba Snake's body, Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang's expressions changed drastically.
It was obvious that this 'Ba Snake' was far beyond the one they had seen before.
The opponent's erect body is taller than the city tower, the body is as thick as a city gate, and the head is as big as a bucket.
Scales as big as a shield cover the snake's body, making it difficult for people to cut it with a sword.
This is a ferocious beast that is far beyond what any mortal can contend with.
"It ate people!"
When Zhang Shu looked at the giant snake's abdomen, he saw that the abdomen was bulging and swollen. The constant movement made the abdomen show some characteristics of human body parts. This made him couldn't help shouting in horror, and he felt that his body instantly collapsed. .
"boom!"
The sound of Weng Weng's suppressing seal being smashed came out, and Ba She's eyes flashed red, and he directly swept down the suppressing seal.
"God may not kill me, I'm finally back!"
The murmuring shrine sounds are like the whispers of hell.
Bearing the attack of the magic weapon, Ba Snake's demon power seemed to remember something when it swept away.
It raised its head, the red light in its eyes was bright, and when it looked down, it was like a tiger looking at a sick monkey.
