Wang Hu thoughtfully found four flashlights from the coffin shop and hung them on the horse's head.
Although the paper horse does not need lighting to see the road like the real horse, the four of us still need to take a look!
I have to say that it is very good to have Wang Hu as a careful housekeeper.
"Xiaohu, you can take care of the store at home. We will set off to Longduo Mountain."
Lao Cao pulled the reins of the paper horse made of yellow paper and did not forget to turn around and give him a warning.
Wang Hu stood at the door with his hands down, nodding.
"Don't worry, boss! But when you and Brother Wu come back, can you tell me in detail the process of the python demon turning into a dragon?"
He is a soul, and he is not particularly powerful now. The cultivation level is not enough to resist the restraint of earth energy, and it is too far away from the place of death.
It was also because of this reason before that he couldn't wander around looking for his daughter.
After joining the coffin shop, he practiced with Lao Cao and gradually became stronger... Now he can probably travel ten miles away. But Longduoshan is still a little too far.
Seeing Wang Hu's envious expression, I took over the conversation.
"Uncle Tiger, don't worry! If there is such a lively scene of turning water into a dragon, I will describe clearly to you how many scales the python demon has on his body when he comes back."
Yuan Fei pinched the horse's belly with his legs and shouted.
"Let's go!"
He took the lead in riding the paper horse across the high threshold of the coffin shop and rushed into the pouring rain.
We followed suit.
Woof woof woof!
Heizi also wagged his tail and ran next to Li Miao's horse.
Four people and one dog were galloping on the dark bluestone streets towards Longduo Mountain outside the town...
Whoosh, whoosh!
The wind howled and the rain poured down.
But because of the water repellent charm, there was about two inches of space around us and the paper horse that was dry and calm. Even the violent wind and rain seemed unable to break through this thin barrier.
We rode wildly without any disturbance or discomfort.
I was amazed.
"No wonder this water-avoiding talisman is of a very high level. I tried many times but couldn't learn it. I also complained that it just evades water. It can't attack the enemy or defend against spells. It's nothing powerful and it's so difficult to draw. That’s enough.”
"It seems that all kinds of talismans have their own uses. Otherwise, in this stormy weather, even if it is not difficult to move, I am afraid it will be miserable."
…
Longduo Mountain is in the northeast of Lianghe Town, about twenty-five miles away. It is located on the edge of Fubei County and at the junction of Lishan County.
The mountains here are continuous, and the Sichuan River meanders through here, like a wound opening in the mountains.
Because of the sedimentation caused by the impact of the Sichuan River, there are some flat mountain valleys along both sides of the river.
The entire topography is actually very similar to the valley plain to the north of Lianghe Town.
And Longduo Mountain is the highest among the mountains nearby!
As for why it has such a weird name?
It is said that in ancient times, there were so many snakes on this mountain! And you can always see groups of crocodiles on the river beach on the bank of the Chuanjiang River at the foot of the mountain!
In ancient classics, ordinary people often describe "snake" and "crocodile" as dragons...
It is precisely because there are many snakes and crocodiles that this mountain got such a name.
Although with the changes of the times, there are fewer crocodiles in the river, and snakes are not everywhere in the mountains and plains like before.
But the name [Long Duoshan] has been retained.
It’s worthy of its name!
When the four of us and one dog arrived at the southern foot of Longduo Mountain, it was already twelve o'clock in the night.
Not only does the violent storm show no sign of stopping, it is getting stronger and stronger!
Lao Cao stopped and looked around.
"Let's find a sheltered place to store all the paper horses first."
ah?
Yuan Fei was stunned.
"Brother Cao, can't your paper horse climb mountains?"
Lao Cao rolled his eyes at him.
"Yes, yes! But this thing is not made of steel and iron. After all, it is just made of bamboo and paper. It is still an ordinary paper horse without aura. If you ride it so hard, it will definitely fall apart when you climb to the top of the mountain. What will you do when you go back after watching the fun?"
Yuan Fei muttered and nodded.
"That's true!"
So we all got off our horses and looked around.
Very lucky.
I actually found a small hidden cave.
Place the four paper horses side by side inside, take off the water-proof talisman, and place it snugly on your chest.
Then walk up the mountain.
It has been raining heavily for such a long time, and the mountain road has become wet and slippery - there are landslides in many places. Fallen trees and grass added to the complexity of the road conditions.
It was very difficult to walk.
Although the water-avoiding talisman can avoid wind and water, it can't do anything about the slippery and complicated mountain road!
Sure enough, we had just walked up the mountain for less than ten minutes. Yuan Fei accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.
The linen robes on his body were stained with mud.
I couldn't help it, I went over to help him up and laughed.
"Uncle Yuan Fei, look, you were worried that I couldn't use Qi before. As a result, you are much more embarrassed than me. I asked you to exercise more and don't rely too purely on magic. Why don't you listen?"
I teased.
He stood up panting.
"What a good boy! Are you educating your Uncle Yuan? But you are too perverted, aren't you? You feel like you are walking steadily and fast, on par with Brother Cao."
The four of us walked up the mountain, and the ones who walked the steadiest and fastest were me, Lao Cao, and Heizi.
Followed by Li Miao, it was still relatively smooth.
Yuan Fei, the initiator of "watching the fun", actually stretched his hips the most and slipped three times with one step.
Lao Cao next to him laughed.
"Xiao Wu's martial arts has begun to improve. He still learns the authentic internal boxing taught by Xiangu. His control of his own muscle strength and body balance has reached an extremely strong level."
Li Miao seemed to have some research on this aspect and echoed from the side.
"I heard that Xingyiquan in Neijiaquan has twelve fist shapes. It imitates the shapes of twelve animals. When traveling in the mountains, animals are much more powerful than people. Looking at the posture of Brother Wu just now, it should also incorporate the shapes. The twelve forms of Yiquan are in it. Is it equivalent to practicing boxing while traveling?"
I'm surprised!
Unexpectedly, Li Miao, the person who fished out the corpse, had such a vicious vision.
Lao Cao is because he is older, has rich experience, and is the strongest among us. Plus, I didn’t hide anything from him and told him everything...
I sighed.
"Brother Li has a good eye. You are also very suitable for learning the martial arts and boxing techniques of miscellaneous sects. Unfortunately, this is my master's thing. I can't teach it to anyone without her permission."
Li Miao smiled.
"Brother Wu, not everyone has such a great cultivation talent as you. I just have to do my job of catching corpses properly. It is also profound and profound."
"And I can see this because the corpse fishermen and the coffin bearers are originally the most physically demanding among the underworld eaters. After all, there will be some things about self-cultivation passed down, although they are not as sophisticated as the martial arts lineage. "
That's right!
Lao Cao also nodded and agreed with Li Miao's statement.
Tap me on the shoulder.
"Otherwise, how could I, over sixty years old, still have the strength to carry a thousand-pound coffin with the likes of Daniel? After a while, I will teach you how to train yourself and increase your strength as a coffin bearer. Of course, compared to Xiangu, It is said that your inner martial arts skills are far behind, so you can use them as a reference."
After chatting for a while, it was considered as time for the panting Yuan Fei to rest.
Then continue up the mountain...
In the process, we gradually saw some fellow travelers.
They must also be people who came to Longduo Mountain from nearby counties and cities to see the Xuanmen Jianghu who "walked through water and turned into a dragon" after receiving the news.
Most of them were wearing raincoats to protect themselves from the rain, and some, like me, probably used items like "water-proof charms."
They were all walking in silence, and they didn't have time to talk to each other.
It took about an hour before we finally reached the top of Longdo Mountain.
It's not flat here, but it's not steep either.
There are already quite a few people in some places!
I observed through the streaks of lightning that flashed across the sky from time to time, and found that there were probably about twenty or thirty people there.
They were like sculptures, standing silently in the rain and darkness.
To be honest, the people who can come here tonight to watch the python demon walk through the water and turn into a dragon should not be low in cultivation... they should all be the best in the nearby counties and cities.
Based on the weather and traffic conditions at this time, it is estimated that those powerful people from the main urban area of Chongqing or Chengdu next door may not be able to get here in time.
Regardless of whether you know the person or not, in this environment, you are not in the mood to chat or be polite.
I just stood at my chosen spot on the top of the mountain and looked ahead at the Sichuan River at the foot of the mountain on the north side.
While using spells, magic weapons, and bodies to resist the violent storm, I waited for that moment to arrive...
"I said, why are you still here? Come with me and find a good location with a wide view, facing the Sichuan River. Otherwise, how will you see the dragons later?"
Yuan Fei kept muttering in his mouth, looking around with the lightning flashing in the sky, and led us and Heizi around to find a place on the top of the mountain.
Finally, I found a hollow space on the top of the mountain with a stone wall behind it.
Standing here, you can look directly in front of the Chuanjiang River that winds through the foot of the north side of Longduo Mountain. Under the bright light of lightning, you can see that the usually fast and wide river water has surged a lot at this time.
The width of the river is probably more than two thousand meters!
And it became very turbid, and I don't know how much sediment was mixed in. Like a roaring dragon, wandering between the mountains...
At the same time, the water level rose a lot, and the entire river bank was submerged. The river water has reached directly to the foot of the north side of Longduo Mountain.
But the heavy rain falling from the sky to the ground like a waterfall has no intention of stopping!
I can feel that the water essence permeating the sky and the earth is getting stronger and stronger. There is a wet and heavy feeling in the human spirit.
I asked Yuan Fei.
"Uncle Yuan, the news you got is that when will the python demon start to act? Don't wait for a few days. I have to go back to school tomorrow."
Well……
He gave me a speechless look.
"I said, Xiao Wu, you love studying too much, don't you? In our line of work, it's useless to have too much education. You are not a college student going out to find a job. With your abilities, Xiao Wu, you will be able to go to college in the future. If you hang out in the city, you will definitely become rich and powerful. Doing Feng Shui is the most profitable in our industry. Rich people believe in this the most!"
I answered with a shrug.
"Anyway, my master attaches great importance to her. She attaches great importance to academic qualifications, so I can only study honestly? What else can I do? Neither do I..."
Moo moo! ! !
Suddenly, there was a loud cry from somewhere in the tall Longdo Mountain below us.
The sound was strange. It sounded like an old scalper or a big buffalo plowing the fields.
But it’s extremely loud!
The sound shook all directions.
It seemed that even the thunder, lightning, and thunder in the sky, as well as the roar of the rainstorm, were drowned out by this strange cry.
The cry seemed to ring directly in our ears.
It makes people feel swaying, with palpitations and a feeling of weakness all over. Like suppression from the soul!
The expressions of Lao Cao, Yuan Fei, and Li Miao around them all changed drastically.
Heizi, who had always been mighty and domineering and not timid in the face of ghosts, corpses and ordinary monsters, actually had his tail between his legs at this time. Nestling at Li Miao's feet, she was trembling all over and whimpering softly.
It was obvious that he had been intimidated and frightened in some way.
In the mountains, the roar of dragons echoes!
The atmosphere of terror permeated the air.
I even felt that the storm suddenly became stronger. It seems that they are echoing each other with this python demon.
"This cry... must be that python monster in the mountains that is about to turn into a dragon! Its cry is very close to that of a dragon, almost indistinguishable. It is definitely a super monster that is more than a thousand years old! It should be almost ready to start walking. The water is gone. This kind of scene is rare in a lifetime. Should you thank me, Lao Yuan?"
Yuan Fei said with great excitement.
We were all very excited.
The top of the mountain, which had always been quiet, became a little noisy.
In the dark rainstorm, some people who came together were whispering and talking.
Everyone's eyes widened, staring at the north side of Longduo Mountain and the Chuanjiang River in front of them.
finally……
When a huge bolt of lightning lit up the entire sky, the mountain on the north side suddenly exploded.
Then I saw a huge head protruding from the mountain.
