Lao Duoji glanced at me and said, "What if we encounter that big snake just now?"
I didn't say anything, I just smiled and said that's what I wanted to say.
Lao Duoji said calmly: "Hmph...what? Are you scared?"
I smiled bitterly: "Afraid? Am I the one who is afraid? It's just..."
Lao Duoji turned his head and did not answer my words, but said coldly: "We are just going to find that guy's lair."
When I heard what Lao Duoji said, I couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly asked: "Going to find that guy's lair? Why?"
Lao Duoji thought for a while and then told me the whole story.
It turns out that although the ancient city of Suiye has sunk underground, the people in the city still live their lives in a different way. For some reason, the people in the city have no intention of getting out of the underground and living a normal life.
Lao Doji was also a native of Suiye Ancient City. He had been working as a hunter for generations, traveling through the underground world and relying on the skills passed down from his family to make a living.
There is a huge tree in the northwest corner of Broken Leaf City. No one knows what it looks like on the tree. They just know that the roots of this big tree are extremely developed and powerful, and the scope involved is enough to include the entire Broken Leaf City.
The location of this tree is very strange. It is surrounded by underground water on three sides, forming a crescent-shaped lake. Only on the north side is a relatively wide path that can lead to the bottom of the tree.
The people of Suiye City have regarded this big tree as their sacred tree for many years, and even named it the "Immortal Tree".
The crescent-shaped lake is called the "Fountain of Youth" by the locals.
When I heard the words "Fountain of Youth", my heart suddenly moved, but I didn't answer, and there wasn't even the slightest change on my face.
I know that this "Fountain of Youth" is not the one I am looking for, but even so, there will always be inextricable connections between the two.
I kept telling myself to be calm in my heart, "Hu God, Hu Tian...! You must be calm. Only in this way... Only by going to the so-called Fountain of Youth can we have a chance to find out the truth behind everything!"
When I thought about this, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Lao Duoji heard me gasping for breath.
He couldn't help but pause what he was saying, turned back to look at me and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
I shook my head and said, "It's okay! It's just that when I was fighting with that big python, I bumped my waist. Now it's a little troublesome to walk!"
Lao Duoji frowned slightly, and it happened that the two of us walked to the edge of a rock. Compared with other rocks, this stone is flat and smooth, and looks like a natural stone bench.
Lao Duoji pointed at the big rock and said, "Since you are tired, let's go somewhere to rest for a while!"
I nodded and said, "That's good!"
After saying that, I was not polite, took two steps, and sat down on the big rock.
Lao Duoji didn't say anything, and sat next to me. He reached back and took out an old copper pipe pot from his waist, stuffed some tobacco into it, lit it skillfully, and took a big puff.
I don’t know what kind of tobacco was put in the Lao Duoji cigarette pot. It was very choking and spicy, and it made me cough non-stop.
Lao Duoji turned to look at me, squinted his eyes and asked, "What? You don't smoke?"
I shook my head and said, "That's not true! I smoke too! But...but old man, your tobacco leaves are a bit choking."
Lao Duoji smiled and said: "It's easy to deal with choking! If you take a sip, you won't choke!"
After saying that, Lao Duoji handed me the cigarette pot in his hand. I looked at the copper cigarette pot in his hand, took it and took a puff without saying anything.
The grass in the pot of Lao Duoji pipe is spicy and strong. Anyone who smokes knows the feeling. After one sip, the root of my tongue feels numb. I didn't dare to inhale it into my lungs. The thick smoke circulated in my mouth and nasal cavity. After circling it, he vomited it out.
And the strange thing is that as the white smoke blew out from my mouth and nose, an unprecedented sense of comfort immediately came. They "brushed" like an electric current, rushing from the soles of my feet to the skin instantly. The top of my head.
At the same time, an indescribable fragrance hit the root of my tongue and started to roll up. After a while, my mouth was filled with that taste.
I smacked my lips involuntarily. While savoring the fragrance, I looked at Lao Duoji and asked: "Old man, are you smoking?"
what? "
Lao Duoji smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that Lao Duoji was not talking, I raised the cigarette pot in my hand and took two hard puffs. Just when I was about to take a third puff, Lao Duoji snatched his cigarette pot and said lightly: "Although the thing is It’s a good thing, but smoking too much is not a good thing. Don’t young people know what it means to go too far and not to do less?”
After saying that, he took a light sip, extinguished the cigarette pot in his hand, looked at the slowly flowing underground river in front of him and said, "Where did we talk about just now?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about the immortal tree and the fountain of youth."
Old Dorje nodded, and then began to tell me the story about this place again.
Many people in this place believe, and are even 10,000% sure, that this big tree is the one planted by the Queen Mother of the West on Kunlun Mountain.
In order to obtain the power of immortality, some of them began to pay attention to this tree and created a "Ganmu Festival".
They took part of the tree root, peeled it and extracted the most delicate part, mixed it with some rare flowers and plants, and grinded it with the blood of forty-seven insects and snakes, and finally got a small bowl of liquid as big as a palm.
Then, on a specific day, these people burned incense, bathed and changed clothes. Under the eyes of everyone, they selected one person among the powerful people to drink the so-called "eternal life soup".
At first, everything was peaceful, but in recent days, the terrain and environment around Suiye Ancient City suddenly changed. The mountains and rivers shifted, and the underground river changed its course. This caused the river water that originally surrounded the ancient trees to gradually dry up.
As the water level of the Fountain of Youth continued to drop, a large snake more than thirty meters long suddenly appeared at the bottom of the Fountain of Youth.
This giant snake is like a small train coiled around the immortal tree. Its whole body is dazzling black, with traces of red on its large scales. The snake's neck is like this, and it looks like it from a distance. Rows of neatly written mysterious scriptures.
Not only that, this giant snake has electric eyes, a head with two horns, and a slight bulge on the front of its abdomen, as if it is about to sprout two legs.
What kind of snake is this?
This is clearly a giant dragon that is about to turn into a dragon and enter the sea.
