"Boom!"
"Crash..."
Thunder rolled and the sky and earth were darkened.
The strong summer winds and rains destroyed the vegetation in the mountains, and there was the sound of breaking branches from time to time among the rustling.
Raindrops dripped down along the eaves of the pavilion, down the branches and leaves of the grass, and down the hair of the people in the rivers and lakes. Everything seemed blurry in the heavy rain, but everything seemed to be extraordinarily clear.
The people in the martial arts saw that the Taoist in the pavilion was always sitting, motionless and not answering, and his own side became more and more powerful. Not only the martial arts masters gathered more and more, but also many people from the martial arts sects, as well as some insiders, knew that they were doing something for the court. The powerful and powerful ministers who were working secretly all also came forward. There were many people and they had a lot of power, so they felt more at ease and wanted to get closer to the pavilion.
The Taoist turned his head and looked at the scenery in the distance.
"Boom!"
Amidst the thunder, the Taoist finally stood up.
The noise of the Jianghu people suddenly stopped.
The Jianghu heroine who was also in the pavilion looked ahead. There were so many people. No matter how good she was, she would not be able to make waves if she fell into the crowd. But if you can't beat it, there's nothing to be afraid of. So he still followed him with his long knife, as if he just wanted to watch the fun.
The girl behind her glanced at the menacing people outside, then raised her head and glanced at her own Taoist priest, then reached out and tugged at the corner of the Taoist's clothes.
"It's fine."
The Taoist lowered his head and said to her, then stepped forward.
Stopping at the edge of the pavilion, the Taoist did not look at the Jianghu people. Instead, he turned his head to look in one direction and asked:
"Senior, why are you watching a show here?"
When the words came to light, people in the world had mixed reactions.
Some were stunned for a moment, some were confused, some looked in his direction, and some saw nothing and looked back to persuade the Taoist to stop pretending.
However, before they could react, they heard a huge thunder from the sky and the earth:
"Rumble..."
Continuous and deafening.
wrong! Not thunder!
It’s the sound from this mountain!
All the people in the world opened their eyes wide, keenly aware that something was wrong, and looked around, trying to find peace of mind on the faces of the people around them, but they only saw the same vigilance as their own on the faces of others.
At this moment, there was another rumbling sound, and at the same time, the earth began to tremble, as if the heaven and earth were falling apart.
Fortunately, Jianghu people have a good foundation, so they can stand firm on the road.
"Look!"
Some people in the world pointed in one direction and exclaimed.
It was exactly the direction the Taoist was looking at before.
Everyone turned to look over again, and saw the rain and mist in the mountains suddenly flowing, like silk being waved by someone, and like flowing water, slowly gathering together.
This kind of miraculousness is not just a trick of a trickster, but a vision of the entire world.
When the rain and fog completely gathered together, everyone was even more shocked——
That's nothing else.
It is a giant snake lingering among the mountains.
The giant snake's entire body is composed of clouds and mist. It is illusory and has no substance. However, it is unknown how long it is and how big it is. It just curls up and fills the mountain col in front of it. It is worth noting that the giant snake has two small horns on its head.
"Snake Fairy!"
"The snake fairy appears!"
"The first born with two horns! Could it be that he really became a dragon!"
The earth trembled again, and the giant cloud snake moved around in the mountains, and then slowly turned its head and looked towards them.
In the misty clouds, the snake's facial features could not be seen, and its eyes could not be seen clearly, but such a magical scene and such a huge thing still made people feel heart-stopping.
This is by no means as simple as a blind eye.
Everyone was shocked.
Although I have long heard that the Snake Immortal has a divine status and is pure-hearted and never hurts others, but after all, I only heard about it and I am not sure. What's more, I've heard that the Snake Immortal doesn't like strife and killing, and often punishes evildoers. With so many of them standing here with weapons in hand, who knows whether they will offend the Snake Immortal.
At this moment, across half the mountain abyss, he was looking at the huge and ethereal cloud snake fairy. From the snake's head, there was nothing kind and kind.
"call!"
It's too late, but it's soon.
The giant cloud snake suddenly rushed towards them, sweeping away its previous laziness and crossing the mountain chasm in an instant.
The giant snake formed by the mist and rain was ethereal and insubstantial. It only swam along the mountainside and passed by them, bringing countless sudden winds and rain, causing them to stagger and lose their balance.
"Wow..."
How could the many Jianghu people react?
I could only try to stand firm and grab everything around me. My face was deformed by the blow, my hat was easily taken away, and my raincoat was torn.
Seeing that the wind and rain brought by the giant snake of cloud and mist were still getting stronger rapidly, and the earth was shaking, they had no power to resist. Even if someone drew a sword and slashed at the cloud and mist, nothing could be struck.
The sound of wind and rain, the snapping of grass and trees, the pained shouts of people in the rivers and lakes, and the neighing of horses resounded throughout the world.
When the giant cloud snake had passed more than half of its body, all the people in the rivers and lakes were rolled up by the giant cloud snake. Then with the gentle swing of the giant snake's tail, without exception, they were all thrown off the cliff.
The only thing that is fine is the pavilion in the mountain.
The women and girls were already stunned.
The yellow-maned horse was even more panicked.
"Wow..."
The giant snake swam around the mountain, then returned to the recess in the mountain in front, lingered, and looked up at the pavilion.
The Taoist stood in the pavilion and looked at him.
He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before raising his hand to salute.
"Thank you, senior, for your help..."
The giant cloud snake made no movement and could not see its expression. After less than a breath, it suddenly exploded and returned all the rain and mist to the mountain.
"..."
The woman and the girl opened their eyes wide, one was dull and the other was confused. They saw countless leaking clouds flowing along the distant mountain wall, lapping at the shore like water. It seemed that the figure and the group of rivers and lakes were still lingering in their eyes. The image of a person with no power to resist is astonishing.
"what is that?"
The girl turned her head and stared directly at the Taoist.
"I think he is the legendary snake fairy." The Taoist replied, walking towards the side of the pavilion close to the cliff.
"Why is the snake so big?"
"That's not the body of the Snake Immortal, it's just the Snake Immortal's magic, used to help us." The Taoist touched the girl's head and stared at the cliff in front of him, "But the Snake Immortal is also very amazing."
"Amazing!"
"yes."
"Can Empress Sanhua be so powerful in the future?"
"certainly."
The cliff in front of you is very high, going straight to the bottom of the mountain. Fortunately, it is not vertical, it has a certain curvature, and it is also covered with vegetation. If you are thrown from here, you may not necessarily die, but it is not easy to survive.
It also depends on your own destiny.
At this moment, taking a glance, there are countless figures below. Some are on the cliff and are probably alive. Some are already at the bottom. If they are not top-notch martial arts, they are probably dead.
"well……"
Song You sighed and shook his head.
I don’t know if this Snake Immortal is really related to the founder of Fulong Guan, and I don’t know if he knows or guesses that he is the descendant of Fulong Guan. Of course, I don’t know if he simply knows about his good deeds, but he can’t stand it and thinks that he is a descendant of Fulong Guan. I can't handle it myself, so I want to help, so I casually say hello to the descendants of my former friends.
No matter what, if someone helps you, you should naturally thank them.
But at this moment, I could feel that the Snake Fairy had already left.
Forget it, come look for him next time.
"well……"
The Taoist shook his head again and sighed.
The Snake Fairy certainly has good intentions, but how can these people in the world give up so easily?
The snake fairy is helping him today, just treating the symptoms and not the root cause, just for today. As long as these people in the world do not know his abilities and are not really sure that they will not be able to take this painting away from him no matter what, they will definitely come to him again in the future. And if these people come in pieces, they will still More troublesome.
It is useless to think too much, it is better to watch the rain.
The Taoist's heart gradually calmed down.
Wu Nuxia walked out of the pavilion in the rain.
The people in the arena in front left behind a lot of swords and luggage, but she didn't care much about it. She went to pick through it and picked out a few good swords and daggers and put them in her quilt bag, saying that she would just take them to the ghost market to sell them.
If she saw a money bag, she would open it and look at it carefully. She would even take out a copper coin and put it on herself.
When she came back and asked if she wanted it, the Taoist smiled and shook his head, so she gave it to the girl next to her as pocket money.
The girl cherished it very much. If she accidentally dropped a copper on the ground, she would quickly pick it up, fearing that it would roll outside the pavilion and fall to the cliff. Then she would put it all in her arms, bulging.
There were occasional cries of pain and wailing from the foot of the mountain.
After a while, the rain stopped.
The rain in summer really comes at a moment's notice, and so does the sunshine in summer. Almost as soon as the heavy rain stops, the clouds in the sky are pushed aside, and a ray of sunshine shines directly on the mountain in front.
Without further delay, the group immediately descended the mountain.
"Does Sanhua Empress want to ride a horse?" The woman sat on the horse and asked the girl next to the Taoist.
"don't want."
"It's so difficult to walk on the dirt road."
"don't want."
"It also stains your shoes."
"Won't."
"If you want to ride, I'll let you ride. You don't need to ride with me. How about you ride alone?"
"We have horses!"
"Forget it."
Wu Nuxia shook her head and didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the Taoist next to her, thought about it, and said with a smile: "I finally figured it out."
"how?"
"You want to help that person named Dou." Wu Xia said, "The reason why I walked down the mountain so struttingly was to let the world know that this painting is no longer in the hands of that person named Dou. The reason why I introduced it to everyone I met was You are cultivating at Yin Yang Mountain in Lingquan County, Yizhou, just to let people in the world who want to look for it in the future also come to you to look for it."
"Thank you, Heroine."
"no need thank me?"
"I have no good deeds, but the heroine told me one thing."
"No thanks..."
No need to say much, just walk carefully down the mountain.
It clears up after the rain, and the sun shines like gold, a little dazzling.
The mountain road is slippery and difficult to travel.
Maybe it was because the snake fairy formed by the clouds and mists in the previous mountains was too huge and conspicuous, and could be seen from a long distance away. Maybe it was because the screams and screams of pain from the people in the world spread all over the mountains, and all the way down, there were no more. I met the Jianghu people who went up the mountain and saved a lot of effort.
"Are you still going to the ghost market?"
"nature."
"With this painting?"
"After leaving this mountain, no one should know what is in this box, right?"
"Then it depends on the intelligence of this group of charlatans."
"Then take a look."
"It's sixteen today. We should be able to walk to the ghost market tomorrow afternoon. Wait a while and it will be dark and we can go shopping." Wu Nuxia has something to sell. "There is an inn where you can stay overnight, and there are also some in the village not far outside. There are Maodians, it depends on where you want to stay. Anyway, you can spend one night shopping and return to the city the next morning."
"The heroine has made arrangements."
"You're welcome."
It was already dusk when we came down the mountain. We found a place to stay for the night and fell asleep under the smell of the straw ropes that the heroine had braided. We got up early the next morning and walked towards Changjing again.
The sound of girls' whistles was heard all the way.
