In the boundless darkness and chaos, Jiang Shuo felt something licking his face, something wet and greasy. Is this the world after death? But I have never heard of the punishment of licking people with tongues in the underworld.
However, this feeling was too real. Jiang Shuo finally couldn't help but open his eyes. Unexpectedly, although the place he was in was dark, it was not completely dark. There was a faint blue light all around. Jiang Shuo wanted to turn his head. He turned towards the direction where he was being licked, but after trying hard for a long time, he couldn't move at all. He could only turn his eyes and glance sideways. The slight movement of his eyes seemed to have disturbed something. Jiang Shuo vaguely caught a glimpse of a blurry black figure. The ground receded, and the blue light was too dim to see clearly. Only a pair of blood-red eyes could be seen.
Jiang Shuo was shocked. Did he not fall to his death after falling into the crevice of the glacier? He had heard that there was a huge python in the deep mountains and deep valleys. Its head was bigger than a wheat bucket and it could swallow lost travelers whole. Could it be that he had bumped into such a giant python? Thinking back now, the tongue he licked just now was sticky, slippery and extremely cold. It was definitely not a beast in the mountains. I thought only a cold-blooded python could have such a tongue.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but screamed. However, the owner of the pair of red eyes seemed even more frightened when he heard the cry. He backed away while making strange sounds of "woopa" and "lupa". Jiang Shuo Although he knows animal language, he has never heard such strange sounds.
Jiang Shuo remembered again that it was said that the spirits in the mountains who had not yet attained enlightenment could not speak and could only make strange grunting sounds to lure travelers into the mountains and kill them. Could it be that the spirits in the mountains were licking him just now?
Is it yummy?
However, regardless of whether the opponent was a snake or a monster, Jiang Shuo was as helpless as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He wanted to try to move his body, but found that his bones were in pain and he could not move a finger at all. The wound on his shoulder no longer hurt, but now the pain suddenly doubled, and Jiang Shuo couldn't help but groan.
The red eyes heard Jiang Shuo's painful groan and came closer to him again. This time Jiang Shuo vaguely heard the sound of four-legged walking. It seemed that the other party was not a giant python. Jiang Shuo was at least half relieved. , I heard that if you are swallowed by a snake, your muscles and bones will be crushed, and your death will be extremely painful. Rather than this, it would be easier to be bitten to death by a spirit.
The sound of "suck, suck, suck" sounded, but the red eyes no longer licked Jiang Shuo's cheek, but instead licked Jiang Shuo's injured left shoulder.
Somehow, the pain in the wound was greatly reduced when the big tongue licked it, and there was even a hint of coldness. Jiang Shuo was very curious, could this thing be here to heal my wounds? However, he couldn't see clearly in the darkness, and Jiang Shuo couldn't move or reach out to touch it. He didn't know what it was, but judging from the power of its licking, it didn't seem to be a ferocious beast.
Jiang Shuo's senses were recovering little by little. He heard the sound of dripping water and gurgling water. He thought it was the melting water from glaciers that gathered here to form an underground river. I also felt that my back was resting on a pile of rocks. The rocks seemed to be covered with thick moss, so I had a strange feeling of hard within the soft, soft within the hard. However, no matter how soft it was, it was still solid ground. How can you not die if you fall?
Jiangshuo
His eyes are slowly adapting to the darkness, and the surrounding blue light seems to be getting brighter. There is a line of cold light far above, which should be the moonlight outside the crack. At this moment, I suddenly heard the rumble of thunder, and a white dragon seemed to fly overhead. The surroundings of the deep valley were illuminated brightly, and then I heard a "click" of thunder.
Taking advantage of the bright light, Jiang Shuo turned his eyes and glanced to the left. He couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that the person standing next to him was actually a "dragon"!
Guo Pu wrote, "The dragon looks like a snake, and belongs to the four-legged dragon family. It has the body of a fish and the tail of a snake. The light just now made Jiang Shuo see it so clearly. That thing was standing on four legs, with the body of a fish and the tail of a snake. It was not a dragon." What is it? This dragon's head is blunt and round, and its mouth is like a giant fish without teeth. The tongue inside is long and wide. The strangest thing is that there are six pointed, furry, pink and tender ears on its back, which are swinging gently. They seemed to be living tentacles. Jiang Shuo had heard of six-eared macaques, but he didn't expect that there were actually "six-eared monsters" deep in the glacier.
The strange dragon was frightened by the thunder, and immediately ran away from Jiang Shuo's body. At this time, another bolt of lightning flashed across, and the thunder followed closely. Jiang Shuo could vaguely see that the dragon's body was about one foot long, and its whole body was The blue stripes on the white background looked very coquettish and terrifying under the light of lightning. Then Jiang Shuo heard a "plop" and thought it was the strange dragon jumping into the water. From the sound of entering the water, the water sounded like a "plop". It’s quite impressive.
There were thunders in the sky one after another. The thunder and lightning on the plains were separated by a long time. But at this moment, the thunder and lightning on the plateau glaciers were very close to each other, as if the male thunder and lightning mother were making wind above Jiang Shuo.
General.
Jiang Shuo gradually saw clearly where he was through the light of thunder and lightning. It turned out that the glacier fissure here was in the shape of a huge funnel with a small top and a big bottom. He was now at the bottom of the funnel. The four walls were covered with inverted ice rocks. It is covered with fungi as tall as a person. These fungi have thick poles with thick giant umbrellas at the top. The large and small spots on the umbrella surface emit a faint blue light.
Only then did Jiang Shuo realize that the soft and hard feeling under his body was not the moss-covered pebbles, but the crushed giant fungi. These giant umbrella-like fungi caught him as he fell from the air. , although it was crushed to pieces, it also buffered most of the falling force.
The thunder and lightning on the plateau came and went quickly. After a while, the lightning disappeared, and the thunder rumbled away, and finally stopped. However, the huge umbrella-shaped fungi seemed to absorb the light of thunder and lightning, and the blue light on the top became brighter, illuminating the entire deep valley in a faint blue.
Jiang Shuo heard a rustle again, and the strange blue and white dragon emerged from the fungi on the other side this time. It looked at Jiang Shuo for a long time, and then crawled to his side again when he saw nothing strange, and walked around. Crawling around Jiang Shuo, he suddenly raised his head and called out "woopa" and "lupa" several times. At this time, there was a sound of water, followed by a burst of "beep babbling" sound. Jiang Shuo could not move his head and could only try his best. He turned his eyes and glanced down, but it turned out to be several small dragons. These small dragons were only more than a foot long. They were all pink and had no blue spots. Only through the six pointed pink ears on their heads could they be distinguished from the strange dragon. There are similarities.
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: It turns out that this dragon is still a mother. She is going out with her child.
Come to look for food, I thought again, Oh no! Where do you need other food besides yourself? Could it be that the old dragon just licked it for a long time and found that it was delicious, so now he gathered the little dragons to feast on it?
Sure enough, those pink little guys climbed up Jiang Shuo's body and wandered around. They not only licked Jiang Shuo's cheeks and shoulders, but also sucked on his hands and even his robe, making Jiang Shuo's body itchy. , thought to himself: I heard that monsters have to suck the soul from the mouth and nose to steal human soul. Why are these little dragons crawling around?
It wasn't until a small dragon lay on his face and its salty tongue touched his lips that Jiang Shuo understood what they were sucking - they were getting salt.
Jiang Shuo soaked in the West Sea for a long time, and his head, face, and clothes were covered with salty seawater. After galloping for a long time, all the moisture on his body had dried up, leaving only a thin layer of salt frost on his body. It seems that this family of strange dragons has lived in the dark deep valley for a long time, and salt is very rare for them. The mother dragon found that there was salt brine on Jiang Shuo's body, so she called her children to come and lick it.
Jiang Shuo knew that they were not trying to eat him, nor were they trying to suck his soul. After calming down for a moment, he felt tired immediately and fell asleep amidst the sound of "sucking".
The sword wound on Jiang Shuo's shoulder caused excessive blood loss, but the slap from Ye Guizhen's sneak attack was more fatal. Ye Guizhen injured his spine. Jiang Shuo felt weak all over, and it was difficult to gather his true energy. He thought he was going to die. If he could lie down and rest for a year, he might recover. But when he fell off his horse, he endured the severe pain and forced his body to move.
Xiangma and Xiang'er were thrown to the opposite cliff. When they fell, their spines hit the ground again. At this moment, their spines were shattered and they were naturally unable to get up again.
Therefore, Jiang Shuo did not sleep peacefully and had constant nightmares. In his dreams, he was facing an abyss or walking on thin ice, but he could not move and fell involuntarily. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to call for help, but no sound came out. Just like this, they kept falling and falling silently... but suddenly they saw a corpse lying flat below. The corpse was completely bloodless, and its face was horribly collapsed. Jiang Shuo fell closer and then suddenly realized what a terrifying face it was. It’s me!
He finally screamed, opened his eyes and woke up, but still couldn't move. He raised his eyes and looked up. It should be daytime now, and he could see a bright white crack, but the glacier crack was too deep and the sunlight was pouring out. At the bottom of the valley, it was already hazy like morning mist.
The mother and son of the strange dragon were nowhere to be found, and the wounds licked by the mother dragon began to hurt faintly again.
Under the sun, the fungus lost its nighttime magic and turned into a gray-white ordinary giant mushroom, while the black ice cliffs on both sides revealed a deep and clear blue. Jiang Shuo watched the change of light and shadow, and the surroundings were quiet, thinking this Is this where I will be buried? Not too bad.
At this moment, a burst of noisy footsteps broke the tranquility in the valley, and only one person was heard yelling angrily: "Who! Who! Who fed the salt to my Hexapod!"
The giant fungi on Jiang Shuo's side shook violently. Jiang Shuo could not turn his head and could only look sideways. He saw a bald young monk emerging from between the giant fungi. He was fair and handsome, but his face turned red at the moment. Got to be red.
he
Seeing Jiang Shuo lying on the ground, he shouted angrily: "Okay, is it you? Is it the salt you feed the Hexagon?"
Jiang Shuo was confused, what is a "hexagonal dragon"? How can he feed the "Hexagonal Dragon" and "salt" if he can't even move?
At this time, the head of yesterday's strange dragon poked out from behind the young monk's legs. Like the giant fungus, its entire body was gray-white during the day, with no blue markings visible. At this moment, it looked timid and looked like someone who had made a mistake. The troubled child had six pink ears hanging down on the back of his head. Jiang Shuo immediately understood that this was the "Hexagonal Dragon"!
The name "Hexagonal Dragon" is so powerful, but this strange dragon in front of him is both docile and shy. Jiang Shuo couldn't help but laugh, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he squeezed out a laugh from his dry throat.
