"clang!"
A crisp and sweet knocking sound sounded in front of the main hall, and yellow-black smoke clouds spewed out from the tiger evil jasper chime. Not only did it protect Qi Jingzhi, but it also spread to all directions, covering an area of several feet in an instant. .
The raging tide of snakes plunged headlong into the tiger smoke cloud, and their momentum slowed down suddenly. Then they seemed to have lost their way, scattering around like headless flies, crawling and bumping around.
Qi Jingzhi holds the jade chime in his left hand and holds the chime hammer in his right hand. The candlelight rises in his eyes, and his sight is not blocked by the smoke and clouds.
Because the tide of snakes was dispersed and slightly sparse at this time, he could clearly see that those snake bodies that were broken in the middle and had no head or tail actually had a head growing out of each end.
Originally, a complete strange snake was only about a foot long and about the thickness of a copper coin. After being broken into more than a dozen sections, each section was less than half a finger long, not even as long as the newly grown head. It looked like two snake heads connected together. The place is extremely ferocious and weird.
Amid the smoke and smoke, a green boy suddenly appeared, reached out and picked up a short, two-headed snake, and gave it a firm twist in the palm of his hand.
The two-headed snake shriveled up in an instant, and a small amount of white mist transformed by essence floated out from the snake kisses at both ends.
The white mist clearly had a cold air, and there were tiny blue-black ice crystals floating in it, which melted into the surrounding colorful smoke in the blink of an eye.
The green boy opened his palm, but the body of the two-headed snake was gone, leaving only a solitary copper coin.
This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest. The strange snakes on the stone steps immediately had a target, and they jumped up one after another and rushed towards the green boy.
The green boy's figure flashed and disappeared immediately.
Then there was a clanging sound, and a copper coin appeared out of thin air and landed in the jade chime.
Qi Jingzhi lowered his head and took a look, and saw that the copper coin was obviously old. There was a lot of rust on the surface of the coin, and there were eight characters cast on it, which were vaguely legible.
"It's cold to the bone, so drink some wine to keep it at bay."
Qi Jingzhi read it again, but before he could look at the back of the copper coin, another copper coin fell down and tipped over in the jade chime. There were also eight words on the coin: "My heart is as cold as ashes, and I bought a mountain." hidden."
"These sixteen words are really depressing to read. I never imagined that they could produce such a supernatural being. Buy a mountain and hide... buy a mountain for money?"
Qi Jingzhi's mind moved, but he immediately remembered the old Linshan case that Qian Xiaoren once mentioned.
More than a hundred years ago, the Linshan Mountain God lineage was convicted and destroyed for "smuggling gods' thrones and harboring cults." The hundreds of thousands of money used to buy the mountains involved in the case have disappeared.
Jiao Yulang also heard about this a while ago, so he came to Linzhou to hunt for treasures. Qian Xiaoren, who uses money as a way of spiritual practice, was even more concerned about this. He saw Qi Jingzhi, the so-called "Linshan guest deer", at the door of Jiao's house. "Qiyun", he immediately came up to him without shame, deliberately made friends, and tried to please him in every possible way, all he wanted was the legendary mountain money.
"Hey, that green python named Shengqing once warned Qian Xiaoren that money can fly without wings and walk without feet, and it cannot be controlled by a wise man. It turned out that these words were not just a metaphor, but a metaphor. It’s actually the real meaning!”
"No wonder the world always says that having too much money will bite your hand. The money used to buy the mountain is ill-gotten wealth used to bribe the mountain god of Linshan. It is nourished by the earth's energy of the dragon veins in the mountain, transforms into the shape of a strange snake, and devours living creatures. No wonder."
Qi Jingzhi just had this idea in his mind, when he heard a "crash" sound, and it was a bunch of money falling from the sky and landed in the tiger-shape jade chime.
He counted a little and saw that there were twelve coins in the bunch.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, one after another, the mountain coins fell one after another, turning into a continuous rain of copper coins.
Qi Jingzhi's eyes swept over, regardless of the scattered ones, but there was no need to examine them one by one in clusters. Just looking at the length, he could tell that none of the clusters exceeded twelve coins.
"One mountain coin can transform into a snake body about an inch long. Twelve of them are strung together to form the exact number of one snake. If hundreds of thousands of mountain coins are all used to give birth to aura, then this one-foot-two snake body alone will There are tens of thousands of inch-long strange snakes..."
Qi Jingzhi looked at the group of snakes below again, knowing that even if he included those strange snakes still hiding in the grass in the courtyard, the number was still far behind, but it was fortunate that this was the case, otherwise tens of thousands of strange snakes would have swarmed up. , I'm afraid the tiger evil jade chime can't resist it.
He turned his eyes and saw two green boys disappearing and appearing among the snakes, taking action frequently and with ease, just like two urchins playing in the water and catching fish. Every strange snake that fell into their hands would spit out ice crystal white mist and die. .
In addition, the more than ten flesh-winged flying tigers were also flying around. Every time they swooped down and flew up high, there would be a struggling and twisting strange snake under their claws. No matter how these strange snakes struggled, it was difficult to stop them. The tiger's claws split its body and it was discouraged.
The small jade chime in Qi Jingzhi's hand had already been filled up, but the rain of copper coins above his head showed no sign of stopping. Instead, as the tiger evil smoke cloud continued to grow, the rain became stronger and wider.
Copper coins, scattered or in bunches, fell on the stone platform in front of the hall and rolled all over the floor.
Most of these copper coins have lost their vitality, and have become extremely rusty. Only a few of them still have some charm left. Compared with the few winning coins that Qi Jingzhi had seen at the mountain guest banquet, except for the large number, , there is nothing praiseworthy about him. If Qian Xiaoren saw him, he would probably be heartbroken.
There is one thing that puzzles Qi Jingzhi, that is, there has been no movement in the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth until now. It seems that so many strange snakes cannot arouse its interest at all.
"Could it be said that these strange snakes are just superficial and do not actually have spirituality?"
Not long after, the snakes on the stone steps were cleared away and turned into tattered copper coins covering the stone steps.
Qi Jingzhi raised the chime hammer and pointed toward the grass farther below. Two green boys and more than a dozen flesh-winged flying tigers immediately spread away in a cloud of tiger evil smoke.
Facing the approaching colorful clouds, countless strange snakes suddenly emerged from the grass. However, they did not come forward to fight, but fled quickly in the opposite direction.
The strange snakes entangled each other and hugged each other as they fled, quickly turning into several huge snake balls, rolling towards the front yard.
Each of these snake balls contained hundreds or thousands of different snakes. As they rolled, they suddenly turned into large snakes as thick as a bowl and more than ten feet long. They jumped over the courtyard wall with a single flick of their body.
Only one big snake was so anxious that it jumped up too early and hit the courtyard wall with its head, shattering to pieces on the spot.
Qi Jingzhi frowned: "Although these 'Ten Thousand Money Snakes' are still vulnerable, if hundreds of thousands of money are allowed to gather in one place... Master said that Xiao Songshan is not There is no danger, let me just play with peace of mind, I wonder if this situation has been taken into account?"
At this moment, a strange scream suddenly came from the direction of the front yard, which was extremely loud but extremely unpleasant and harsh.
Qi Jing was startled, and then his face showed a look of joy: "That's Senior Mandrill!"
I’ll post the small chapters first, and I’ll post the rest when they’re finished.
