If there was an organization that could convict and execute demons and monsters like the Antian Sect, maybe Han Ye would bring them to justice without having to take Situ Yunmeng and Xue Yan to execute them personally.

but no.

Even the gods and demons in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are unable to punish them.

Therefore, Han Ye understood that his wife Situ Yunmeng could only deal with these beasts with violence.

Moreover, even if the Snake God Altar is uprooted, it will not affect the destruction of the Antian Sect. Anyway, there must be a branch altar in Lishu Mountain to deal with.

When it's time to kill decisively, you must never have the heart of the Holy Mother!

Recalling the first time he faced a bad bandit when he was young, and Han Ye told the King of Hell not to kill anyone, he felt childish and ridiculous.

So Han Ye and Xue Yan helped Situ Yunmeng plan a countermeasure.

The three of them continued to hide in the dragon python's protector's stomach. Han Ye thought about how to give instructions to the dragon python, Xue Yan analyzed who could interact with the dragon python, and Situ Yunmeng crossed his hands in front of his chest, and his jade eyes glowed with five colors. Light, according to the will of the three people, deduced the dream that Long Python was having...

The dragon python is Mohu Luojia's most trusted protector, not only because he is powerful, but also because he is a spirit of the red python. To Mohu Luojia, who was once the king of Green Anaconda, he is a close relative.

Of course, Mohu Luojia wanted to promote the dragon python as the first of the four protectors when he became successful.

Because he is a close confidant, Dragon Python has the right to punish and deal with those subordinates who are disloyal to Mahulaka, although sometimes these subordinates are wronged by him. After all, they are snakes. When they are hungry and have nothing else to eat, they have to eat. Point your own people.

When snakes live in the world, they pursue nothing more than two things, one is to feed themselves, and the other is to reproduce.

Since the altar owner Mohu Luojia likes to reproduce offspring so much, the dragon python as a protector is very sensible. His pursuit is just to fill his stomach.

Although it was to fill his stomach, the dragon python would not go to various villages and towns to eat people, because Mohuluojia, who had lived in Taihu Lake for a long time and was familiar with the rules of fishing, once reminded him: fishermen never use very fine nets. When you go fishing, you catch all the fry and eat them. What will you eat next year?

Those who are not of my kind need no mercy.

You don't have to kill them all, but you can enslave them.

There must always be some humans alive and working for their fellow snakes, otherwise where would the wine come from? Where does the food come from? Where does the beauty come from?

As the dragon python, the head of the four guardians, he understood that he felt that he could not be as stupid as ordinary snakes, so he ate people in an orderly manner.

He transforms into a bridge spanning the southern shore of Taihu Lake and Xishan Island. When he sees prey, he will quietly move his head to a certain position, waiting for the prey to be automatically brought into his mouth.

The dragon python was very obedient and obeyed Mohu Luojia's instructions, so Mohu Luojia also asked the Teng She Dharma Protector to help spread the legend throughout the towns of Taihu Lake.

The legend of "climbing the bridge to the island and becoming an immortal".

Not to mention, it works.

There are many simple villagers who would die even if they thought it was weird.

But what if the villagers take a boat to the island?

Naturally, the dragon python rode the waves and swallowed the villagers together with their boats!

At that time, Dragon Python ate very happily and was full every day. However, before Mohuluaka gained power, he was always hungry and weak.

Dragon Python, I am particularly grateful to the Altar Master for his gift.

However, happy time is always short-lived, and he hasn't eaten enough in the past few days.

Thinking about it carefully, it should be that Our Lady of Fuyao came to the edge of Taihu Lake to fight, and then Our Lady of Fuyao was defeated and committed suicide. No one went back to announce the good news to the villagers, so no more people from the townships and towns dared to come.

This Fuyao Madonna!

What you mean is meddling in your own business! Very disgusting!

Not only did he hurt himself, but he also indirectly left him with nothing to eat!

Because of her doing this, she only ate a few people intermittently during the day.

Fortunately, three came in the evening.

There are fairies in plain clothes and yellow skirts, chivalrous women in light blue clothes, and swordsmen in dark blue clothes.

This swordsman rides a silver eagle, which looks like something from the demon world, and seems to have some ability.

He was very hesitant and hesitated before entering the dragon python's mouth. Fortunately, the chivalrous woman in light blue clothes urged him, and finally, all three guys fell into the trap.

After digesting these three people in his stomach, Long Python felt that he was still not full.

But seeing that it was getting late, the dragon python transformed from Shengxian Bridge into a giant red python that was thousands of feet long.

This giant python was like a dragon, with dragon horns and beards. He flicked his tail, and Taihu Lake set off a wave of 100 feet, which spread out and hit the south bank, Dongshan Peninsula and Xishan Island.

The dragon python stretched its body, its snake body reaching into the sky stood upright on the surface of Taihu Lake, like a pillar supporting the sky.

At this time, an old voice came from the air.

"Dragon python protector, how many times have the altar master told you? Take your time when harvesting, don't flood all the water on Xishan Island!"

The dragon python turned around and saw a thin flying insect flying towards him in the clouds and mist.

No, I should say, it is the snake shadow.

Dragon Python knew that it was the Soaring Snake Dharma Protector coming over.

When the Soaring Snake Protector flew closer, he finally passed through the clouds and mist and revealed his true form.

He is a golden-ringed snake demon, with a thin stature, only two feet, with a long white beard on his lower jaw, and three pairs of golden wings on his back. The spirit snake staff he holds in his hand has a body that is neither gold nor wood. Hidden black air.

The dragon python knew that it was too big to talk to the Soaring Snake, so it shook its body and gradually returned to the size of ten feet. However, compared with the Soaring Snake, it was still a giant.

"knew."

Dragon Python replied impatiently. He was not very happy. After all, he had not eaten enough today. And this Soaring Snake, relying on his special magic power, could actually rank second among the four guardians?

Is he familiar with the altar owner? Does he have the unique skills to defeat the Taoist sect of the Xian family?

If it weren't for the fact that he could confuse others and perform illusions, the dragon python would have wanted to open his mouth and swallow him whole, filling his stomach first!

Teng Snake also looked down on the dragon python. After all, while he had made countless great contributions, the dragon python was enjoying the success just because of his close relationship with the altar master. However, he had no choice but to do so. The altar master was a close relative and could not see him when he looked up or looked down.

To avoid any embarrassment, Teng She took the lead and asked, "Have you enjoyed your meal today?"

"You don't open any pot, right! No!!" Long Python said displeasedly: "It's all that tiger dragon's fault! These days, just go to Hangzhou to plunder the wine from the altar owner! And you even pulled the snakes you invited. It passed and it made me so hungry that I couldn’t even eat the snake!”

Teng Snake thought angrily: "You only have this little income, and you think about eating all the time! The altar master pressured me to spread rumors. Did I join the Dark Sky Sect specifically to do this kind of thing for you?"

Thinking so, he said: "I went to Hangzhou just now. Tiger Jiao said that there are too many Nuerhong and Osmanthus wine in Hangzhou, and we can't move them here tonight. He asked us to go to Dilong Cave first. The altar master said, I will aggrieve the altar master tonight and drink some old wine to make ends meet."

"Damn it! This guy doesn't show up on time and wants the altar owner to lose his temper again! How stupid!"

Dragon Python cursed a few words and reminded Teng Snake: "Take those snake girls you brought from Shu to make the altar owner happy, otherwise he will lose his temper with the tiger dragon. If the tiger dragon is not present, we will suffer. Old sin! That’s not okay!”

Teng She nodded in agreement.

Although Teng Snake has only been with Antian Sect for a short time, only a few years, he is very aware of Mohu Luojia's temper.

Mahulaka has a bad temper, is angry and irritable, and what he pursues is a beautiful woman with good wine.

Fine wine is no different from what people drink.

This is the beautiful woman, she should be called the beautiful snake.

Mohuraka likes the long tongue and narrow pupils of his kind, and also likes the smooth and dry skin of his kind. Being entangled with them is particularly satisfying.

Guan Guan Ju Jiu, in the river island, there is a slender female snake, the python god is good at fighting.

But sometimes he wants to humiliate mortal women, Taoist nuns and fairies. His purpose is just to torture them and sow snake eggs in their bodies. After seven days, they will suffer severe abdominal pain and explode to death. At that time, they can still see before they die. It is so joyful to see thousands of baby snakes crawling out of their bloody bodies and swimming in all directions!

It's a pity that Mohu Luojia couldn't "repay the favor" to Our Lady of Fuyao properly, which was a regret in his life.

Because of this, Teng She was often scolded by Mohu Luojia, and now, Teng She was worried that if she didn't do something, she would be removed from the four major protectors by Mohu Luojia!

"Without further ado, let's go to the Snake Altar now."

Teng Snake had an idea and said to Dragon Python: "Otherwise, let's go get the snake girls here first, and bring the good-looking ones to the altar master so that the altar master can have fun. Let's talk about the tiger dragon's delay. What do you think? how?"

Long Mang was deeply concerned.

Long Boang also knew that the snake girls captured by Teng She were actually imprisoned in Dilong Cave on Xishan Island.

So the dragon python rose up and the snake flew away in the mist, and both landed on the Xishan Island in Taihu Lake.

The Xishan Island in Taihu Lake is thirty miles long and twenty miles wide. It has undulating mountains, rugged rocks, twists and turns, and winding paths. It is the largest island among the five lakes.

In the southeast of Xishan Island, there is a natural cave called "Linwu Cave".

The cave is as wide as a building, with a forest of standing stones and a flat roof like a house, so it is called a forest house.

In winter, it’s freezing outside the cave, but it’s as warm as spring inside the cave;

In summer, the sun outside the cave is like fire, while the inside of the cave is cool and warm.

Linwu Cave is called the "Ninth Cave" by many Taoist immortal sects. Before King Green Anaconda did not occupy the island as king, several land immortals also lived there.

Since King Green Anaconda gained supernatural power and became Mohuraka, he retaliated and killed all the immortals who stayed on Xishan Island. He also used his magic power to transform Linwu Cave into a large-scale underground palace, and changed its name to " Dilong Cave".

Snakes like to live in moist and dark environments.

This Dilong Cave is indeed the best choice to place the Snake God Altar!

Dragon Python and Soaring Snake came to the entrance of Dilong Cave. The entrance was like a giant stone python opening its mouth, with two sharp stone stalactites hanging down, like the stone python's two fangs.

There are four viper guards on the left and right at the entrance of the cave. These viper guards are armed with spears and covered with scales. They are strong and powerful.

Seeing the arrival of Dragon Python and Soaring Snake, the leader of the Viper Guards and the rest of the guards hurried forward and knelt down, shouting in unison: "The six realms will be dark, but God will live forever! Welcome the Dragon Python and Soaring Snake protectors!"

"Get the fuck out of here!"

Dragon Python was hungry and wanted to eat the snake when he saw it, but the eight viper guards guarding the door couldn't eat it. It would be too obvious if they ate, so he kicked away the viper guard headed by him and took Teng with him. The snake walked straight into the cave without looking at the pawns.

The leader of the viper guard got up and watched the dragon python and the soaring snake leave with a look of helplessness. Although he didn't know why the dragon python was so angry today, he understood that the dragon python was a close confidant of the altar master and a gluttonous glutton. , I would rather be beaten than have any complaints.

Teng Snake turned around and glanced at the guards. After walking a few feet deeper into the cave, he said to Long Python, "Your temper is becoming more and more like that of the Altar Master. Those who don't know better think that you and the Altar Master are the same." Half-brothers.”

Long Python corrected him: "It's better to say that I am the illegitimate son of the altar master. The altar master is wise and powerful, but I don't dare to rise above him!"

Then he said to Teng She with a hint of pleading: "Hey, Teng She, wait a minute, among your bunch of snake girls, how many of them are not pretty enough for me to eat? I'm very hungry!"

Teng Snake said: "It's rare that you still beg me. Last time, the altar master scolded me for not coming back in time. Why didn't you say something nice for me?"

The dragon python scratched its head with its claws and said sheepishly: "When our altar master gets angry, who can speak up? Don't embarrass me!"

"Hmph." Teng Snake showed a disgusted expression and said to Long Python: "Then you just have to endure it for a while. You won't be able to die from hunger for a while. Wait for the altar owner to choose what you like to play with, and then take the rest. Go eat in the corner!

Seeing that Long Boang was confused for a moment, Teng Snake explained: "Whether you or I think you look good or not doesn't matter! What if the altar owner changes his taste, and you eat what the altar owner likes, but he doesn't see any of the ones you sent to him? Come on, you’ve filled your stomach! Aren’t I dead?!”

"Yes, yes! It makes sense! It makes sense!"

Dragon Python spit out the snake letter and swallowed: "Then hurry up and hurry up, don't waste time."

After chatting, Dragon Python and Soaring Snake continued to move forward.

At this time, they had entered the cave passage.

This is a flat and long cave, two feet high and five feet wide, leading to the dark and cold depths. The stalactites hanging from the top of the cave are like inverted woods, accompanied by water droplets falling from the stalagmites. The silent cave is like A never-ending piece of underworld music was played.

Dragon Python and Soaring Snake actually like this kind of environment. Even if there is no light, they can see the cave clearly.

The difference is that Teng Snake is thin and nimble and can easily pass through those stalactites, while Dragon Python has to dodge. Even though his body is as hard as steel, he cannot break too many stalactites to block the intersection of Dilong Cave. That would still make Mahulaka very unhappy.

The passage of the cave goes downwards, and it takes about one stick of incense for the dragon python and the snake to walk. During this period, there are holes in the cave, and the holes are connected, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide, winding and unpredictable, like a huge Maze, if you are not particularly familiar with the terrain here, you will probably get lost in it forever.

After walking through seven or eight forks, passing through five or six large holes, and descending to about a hundred feet above the ground, the dragon python and the soaring snake emerged from a narrow opening one foot wide, and suddenly the vision opened up!

Here, we finally reached the depths of the underground palace, and it was also the largest cave in the Dilong Cave.

Eighty feet above the head, there is the broad dome. The huge stalactites that are more than ten feet long are connected together in one piece. It is a miraculous workmanship. There are strands of light coming out from the dome, which makes this vast world look even weirder. .

Fifty feet deep under the feet is the quiet inner lake, with a radius of two miles, just like an ancient mirror, reflecting the stalactites and shimmering light above.

Going forward from the narrow mouth is a stone road with cliffs on both sides. The stone road is about two feet wide and leads straight to the palace in the distance opposite.

The palace was ten feet high and thirty feet wide. It was made of black stone and was dark and dull. There was only a row of round lanterns hung in front of the edge of the palace. The round lanterns glowed with faint green fire. From a distance, it didn't look like a palace. On the contrary, it is like the underworld.

On the left and right sides of the stone road, there is a giant stone sculpture with a snake head and a human body, with its head reaching the dome and its feet entering the inner lake. Their eyes are shining with green light, looking towards the narrow mouth, as if saying to the people who come in:

Yes, this is the underworld!

Dragon pythons and soaring snakes are commonplace, passing directly by the cliff stone road.

As they walked to the middle of the stone road, they heard a loud rumbling sound. The python god stone sculptures on both sides suddenly turned their heads, and each shot two beams of green light in their eyes towards the dragon python and the soaring snake. After confirming their identities, Back to the original state.

Dragon Python and Soaring Snake looked at each other, and both of them continued to walk towards the palace calmly.

When you reach the center of the stone road, you can see this cave that looks like a small world. There are densely packed holes on the four walls, about tens of thousands, like a black honeycomb. Each hole is home to several snakes. These In the eyes of Mahulaka and the four protectors, snakes are low-level snakes. They come and go when they are called, and they are very humble.

Dragon Python and Soaring Snake came to the palace and saw a plaque between the double eaves of the palace that read "Python Temple".

There were twelve more viper guards guarding the gate of the Python Temple. Dragon Python ignored them and went straight through the gate with Soaring Snake to the main hall.

The main hall is eight feet high and nine acres square. It looks very spacious, but because it is made of black rocks, it seems very oppressive.

The most depressing thing is not the dark colors, but the furnishings and smell in the hall.

There are about 500 bronze wine jars in the main hall. The wine jars are one foot high and eight feet in diameter. They are filled with all kinds of fine wines, including daughter red, Zhuangyuan red, osmanthus wine, wine, Fen wine, pear wine, and sorghum wine. , rice wine, and Baicao wine, but the wines abundant in the Jiangnan area are the most popular.

Each wine vat contains a person. Of course, they are no longer alive but dead.

But the death methods were different. Some were skinned and soaked in wine, some had cramps and soaked in wine, some were minced and mixed in wine, and some were broken into bones and sunk in wine.

Occasionally there were one or two whole corpses, but they were swollen and pale from the wine.

These people died in vain, and the smell of blood from their corpses was mixed with the aroma of wine. Not to mention Mohu Luojia was intoxicated by this smell, even the dragon python couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.

Soaring Snake urged Dragon Python to go as quickly as possible, and Dragon Python finally resisted its desire to devour human corpses and continued to move forward.

Of course, the so-called "advancing" does not mean passing through the wine altar and then entering the inner door opposite the main door, because behind the inner door is the Snake God Altar, where Mahaluka usually rests.

Obviously they couldn't go there right away. Dragon Python and Soaring Snake bypassed the wine jar array, passed through the side door on the left side of the hall, and entered a long and narrow corridor. On both sides of the corridor, two rows of long lights stretched straight into the distance, making people feel that this was not like a The palace looks more like an ancient tomb.

At the end of the corridor is the cell where the female snake is held.

Dragon Python walked more anxiously than Soaring Snake, because along the way he felt that his throat was very dry, as if it had been burned by something. The longer he walked, the more smoky and burning he felt in his throat!

He was busy on his way, but he could still hold it in. When he passed by the main hall and saw the vats of wine, Long Bo couldn't stand it anymore.

He wants to drink water!

Although it was impossible for him to drink the wine prepared for Mahulaka, now he had to rush to a room with water to drink water in order to meet his urgent needs.

"Damn it! Hurry up!" The dragon python walked faster and faster until it flew away, and the wind it brought almost blew out the ever-burning lanterns on both sides of the corridor.

He used a trick to open the door at the end of the corridor by swinging its tail, and shouted inside: "Water! I want to drink water!!"

Opposite the door is a large iron cage ten feet long and wide. Inside, thousands of snakes of different sizes sleep, some clothed and some unclothed. They are piled together like a mountain of snakes.

There were four python guards standing outside the cage. They were strong and strong. They all looked at the dragon python in surprise and pointed to the coffee table next to the door:

"Dragon, dragon python protector, the water is there!"

Dragon Python turned around and saw that the coffee table was obviously empty! Where is the water?

"Damn it!" Dragon Python was already very anxious. Seeing that these guards dared to play tricks on him, he swung his tail out, closed the door behind him, and then used the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves, grabbing all the guards and swallowing them. Entered into his own stomach.

"How dare you deceive me, who is the leader of the four great protectors! That means you are harboring dissatisfaction with the altar master!!" The dragon python said angrily: "I'm just going to give you a tooth beating as a sacrifice!"

Teng Snake watched coldly from the side, but did not stop him from devouring the same kind. When he saw him burping, he reminded him: "Dragon Snake, there is a pot of water on the coffee table. Take a closer look."

After hearing this, Long Mang looked at the coffee table again, only to find that there was indeed a copper kettle on the coffee table. This kettle was half the size of a person and probably contained dozens of kilograms of water.

Dragon Python is very strange. Could it be that he saw it wrong just now?

But he was so thirsty that he didn't care about that much. He opened the lid of the teapot, picked up the teapot and drank heavily. The clear water poured into his throat, and he instantly felt that his throat felt much better.

While Dragon Python was drinking water, three streams of air, black, one white, and one blue, came out of his mouth, transformed into the shapes of Han Ye, Situ Yunmeng, and Xue Yan, and landed next to Dragon Python.

Dragon Python was still drinking water crazily, and glanced to the side unconsciously, and suddenly saw the swordsman in dark blue clothes, the fairy in plain clothes and yellow skirt, and the chivalrous woman in light blue clothes!

These three people?

Weren't these three people clearly swallowed by him before?

It’s all digested!

Could it be that he is haunted by the ghosts of the three of them?

Dragon Python was startled, put the teapot on the coffee table, and then turned around to look.

Where are the swordsmen, fairies and warriors?

Only Soaring Snake.

"Are you full?"

Teng Snake said impatiently: "Don't be in a daze when you're full! Hurry up and accompany me to get the snake girl over to the altar master!"

Seeing Long Python's dumb look, Teng Snake added displeasedly: "You are not hungry anymore after eating these men, so you don't want to help anymore, right?"

Long Python looked at this Soaring Snake carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong. No matter from the temperament, appearance or the information that Soaring Snake should have, it was impossible for him to not be Soaring Snake.

So could the three people he saw just now be hallucinations caused by him being starved and thirsty?

In any case, Dragon Python still knew that he had to respond to Soaring Snake, and he replied: "No, no! That guy Tiger Dragon won't come back tonight, and we still have to serve the altar master... Bring these ladies over now. , don’t delay.”

"That's right!" Teng Snake was full of displeasure: "Look at how much you delayed things along the way. You need to eat now and drink water now. I've urged you several times! Can you also consider my feelings? Hurry up. of!"

"Also! You are eating these guards too fast! I will release the hypnosis for them in a while. If they want to run away, what should I do if I can't stop them by myself!"

"I know, I know, you go slow, I'll be there to watch over you, nothing big will happen, don't worry!" Long Python comforted Teng She, while turning his back to Teng She, he took out the key from his waist and opened it. cage.

In fact, "Teng She" is indeed not a Teng She.

It's three people.

Han Ye, Situ Yunmeng and Xue Yan.

But in the eyes of the dragon python, the three of them are soaring snakes.

At this moment, Situ Yunmeng raised his hand and used colorful spiritual power to continuously cast illusions on the dragon python.

Xue Yan put her hand on Situ Yunmeng's shoulder, and kept talking to Long Python according to what Situ Yunmeng extracted from Long Python's mind and Dragon Python's memory of Soaring Snake.

Han Ye quickly thought about how to use dialogue to guide the dragon python step by step and lead them to the dungeon where the snake spirit and snake demon were imprisoned.

From beginning to end, only Long Mang walked from Taihu Lake to Xishan Island, entered Dilong Cave, came to Mang Temple, and finally arrived at this cell.

Even the words "Welcome the Protector Dragon Python and the Protector Teng Snake" said by the guard at the gate of Dilong Cave were imposed by Xue Yan into Dragon Python's mind through Situ Yunmeng.

The guards only saw Long Python coming in alone.

But for Long Python, he had no idea that he was being controlled.

After seeing so many terrifying scenes outside, Situ Yunmeng was already anxious. While continuing to control the dragon python, he searched for his apprentice Su Su.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and Situ Yunmeng found the scarred green snake Jing Susu in green clothes among a bunch of entangled green snakes.
