When something goes wrong, it becomes a monster.
Zhang Baoshan asked fearfully: "It can't be the fault of the mountain god. This is its territory. Can it control the wind and rain?"
Lu Chenyin slapped the pretended troll and said, "Don't worry, it is a mountain god with a spiritual background. At most it can do little tricks like scattering fog and getting lost. If it dares to cause trouble, I will spray it with a magic weapon! I It’s not illegal to squirt monsters.”
Zhang Baoshan said repeatedly: "No offense, no offense, just complain."
Before he finished speaking, there was a dense rustling sound in the surrounding woods.
I immediately signaled Zhang Baoshan and Lu Chenyin to stop.
The next moment, a long black snake sprang out from the woods, landed on the mountain road, and looked at us with its head raised.
Immediately afterwards, more snakes came out like a tide.
Black, yellow, green... they are densely packed and countless. They will not only occupy the road front and rear, but also be covered with the branches of the trees on both sides.
The cold and damp air was filled with a strong fishy smell.
Zhang Baoshan couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Snake, you should be hibernating in winter, right?"
When we arrived, we didn't see a single snake.
But now all the snakes in Snake Mountain are out of their nests.
Lu Chenyin turned on the spray gun again and wiped the rain off his face, his eyes shining with excitement.
"These are the lackeys who were summoned by the mountain god to take revenge on us. They are so courageous. Today I am going to slay demons and kill all the demons. Haha, the skills I have learned so hard for so many years can finally be put to serious use, not just for mere use. Kill people, haha!"
After saying that, he went forward with his ejaculation strong.
I quickly grabbed her and said, "Xiangu Xiaolu, don't get excited. This is a snake. How can it be possible to avenge an owl?"
Lu Chenyin tilted his head and thought for a while, "Yes, what do they want to do? Are they going to take advantage of the situation and invite a mountain god to be their leader? Let me start by saying, I can't do this trick, can you?"
I said: "How can I, a heretic warlock, understand this? But they shouldn't be here to ask for seals. For such a small mountain, one spirit is good, and there is no way it can accommodate a second spirit. Don't worry, listen, the rightful owner coming."
There was a dull friction sound in the forest.
The sound passed by and the trees swayed.
After a while, a white snake head the size of a football poked out from the woods. Its extended body twisted and turned under the cover of the woods. It was unknown how long it was.
The other snakes rustled out of the way.
The white snake crawled to a position three meters away from us and stopped. It raised its body and faced us directly with its head. It clicked three times, opened its mouth, spit out something sticky with mucus, and then turned around and went back into the forest.
As soon as it burrowed into the forest, the other snakes immediately retreated. In the blink of an eye, they retreated completely, leaving only a sticky secretion on the ground.
"Leave now? What are they doing here?" Zhang Baoshan stuck his head out from behind me and looked around, his voice trembling, "It's outrageous that there is such a big snake on Snake Mountain. "
I said: "They are here to express their gratitude. Owls are the natural enemies of snakes. Since the spirit is an owl, it must have eaten countless snakes here. Now we have destroyed its statue and cut off its ability to continue to be the god of Snake Mountain. Maybe, for these snakes, it is definitely a great kindness. I didn’t expect that the local reptiles in Jincheng are also quite polite.”
Lu Chenyin had already moved close to the thing spit out by the white snake and picked at it with the barrel of the gun.
"It's a stone slab with words all over it. It can't be a magical secret book or something. I think it's like this in martial arts novels. The spirit beast repays its kindness by giving ancient secret books. After the protagonist learns it, he becomes invincible immediately."
I knelt down, looked carefully, and asked, "Can't you understand?"
Lu Chenyin curled his lips, "It's like a ghost drawing a talisman. Even the ghost doesn't recognize it. Can you understand it?"
"This is small seal script. In order to practice calligraphy, I used to go to Mount Yi to carve stone copies." I stretched out my fingers and traced the seal characters on the stone slab. "This is not a secret book, but a foundation stone. In the eighth year of Song Yuanyou's reign, A man named Sun Pu became an immortal here. After his disciples buried his body together with his life-long spiritual practice, they used their magical powers to divert water into a lake and pile up rocks into a mountain to hide the tomb site. They also ordered the mountain god to guard the tomb here. The incident was recorded on a tablet and buried under the entrance to the tomb passage left behind."
I saw that the rain had soaked the slate clean, so I turned it over.
There is a picture engraved on the back of the stone slab.
In the center of the picture, there is a tall, naked man flying in the air. Feathers sprouted from his body, and his arms turned into wings. He was struggling to fly to high places.
The light fell from high in the sky, and similar feathered figures were circling and flying, seemingly welcoming this man.
A group of little people below knelt down and worshiped.
This should be the recorded scene of Sun Puchan transforming into an immortal.
Lu Chenyin tapped his chin and said: "Sun Pu, I seem to have heard this person's name somewhere. Oops, I can't remember it. The master must know it. But this thing is of no use. This snake is quite big and has a good appearance. It’s impressive, but it’s too petty to give something away, so I gave him a useless stone.”
I said, "You can't say it's useless. The stele itself is a very valuable cultural relic. If it is sold, it will definitely fetch a good price. In 1993, a fragment of a Song Dynasty stele was auctioned in Hong Kong and sold for one thousand Three million. Although this foundation stone is a bit small, it is in good condition and has clear handwriting, so it shouldn’t be a problem to sell it for 20 million.”
Lu Chenyin's eyes lit up immediately. He quickly put away the spray and carefully touched the slate, "Is it so valuable? Hey, I'm coming with you this time. I have to work hard and I am responsible for this slate." I won’t ask for more than one share, so I’ll give you three percent.”
I asked: "Are you short of money?"
Lu Chenyin said: "Hey, the temple is so poor. I have to find someone to beg for help even to maintain my cultivation. If I were rich, I would have renovated the Gaotian Temple and compared it with the Xuanqing Temple next door. , must be more impressive than them, huh, let’s see who dares to look down upon others and say that our Gaotian Temple is not the righteous path!”
I said: "Your master may not agree to sell this stone tablet."
Lu Chenyin glared and said: "Why, this thing has nothing to do with her, it's something I earned hard. Well, let's hide this from her, why don't we tell her? Otherwise, no matter how much I want, Half percent, just two and a half percent will be fine, don’t tell my master.”
I knocked on the stone slab and said: "Except for the part about becoming an immortal, if the content recorded in this stone tablet is true, then there is a tomb of a Taoist priest from the Song Dynasty under the Snake Mountain on the island in the middle of the lake, and in this tomb are his spiritual practice My experience, maybe even the Jade Disc God's secret! The stone tablets have a price, and these lost secrets from the Yuan Dynasty are priceless treasures to you! If I sell them without telling your master, what do you think the consequences will be?"
Lu Chenyin suddenly lost his energy like a ball was deflated, "Oh, you're right, if my master knew about it, he would definitely come and rob the tomb."
"You two, let's talk about it when we get back. Aren't you cold?"
Before Zhang Baoshan could finish his sentence, he sneezed loudly several times and looked at me and Lu Chenyin pitifully with his arms folded.
"Go down the mountain first. If you wait a little longer, I will freeze to death."
