Chapter 21

Sure enough, the red shadow on the ground suddenly got a lot closer to him, and it didn't take long before it came within his reach.

Saburo was also caught in the storm!

Xie Lian shouted at him: "Don't panic!" One mouthful and another mouthful of sand, but now, I am used to eating and eating. Although he shouted to let Saburo not panic, in fact, he also felt that Saburo would not panic at all. Sure enough, after the young man was caught in the air, Ruo Xie quickly put it away and pulled the distance between the two of them. Xie Lian could see clearly, and there was no panic on his face. He could just give him a book and he would immediately be in the sand. Looking peacefully in the dust, Xie Lian even doubted whether he was deliberately drawn up. Ruo Xie circled the two people's waists a few times, tied them together, and thanked them again: "Go again! Don't arrest people this time!"

So Ruoye flew out again. This time, the catch is... Nanfeng and Fuyao!

Xie Lian was exhausted, and said to Ruo Xie: "I tell you not to arrest people, this 'person' does not refer to a person in the narrow sense... well." He rushed down and said loudly: "Nanfeng Fuyao! Hold on! Thousands Hold on!"

Nanfeng and Fuyao on the ground naturally wanted to hold on, and the two of them stood on their own. rolled in.

This time, the four of them were spinning rapidly in the air. Between the dark yellow sky and the earth, the tornado was like a slanted pillar of sand, and a white silk ribbon connected with the four figures in this pillar of sand spinning endlessly. The faster it turns, the higher it rises. Xie pity said while eating sand: "Why did you guys come up too!"

What they saw was sand and sand, and what they heard was wind and wind, and they had to yell at each other with their loudest voices. Fuyao pouted while eating the sand: "Then I have to ask you about this silly white silk!"

Xie Lian grabbed the "silly white ling" with both hands, and said helplessly: "Ruo Xie, Ruo Xie, now the four of us rely on you. This time, don't make another mistake, go!"

With a tragic mood, he let go again. Nanfeng roared: "Don't count on this thing! Think of another way!" At this time, Xie Lian felt that his hand was tight again, and his spirit was lifted, and said: "Wait, give it another chance! Caught again!"

Fuyao also roared: "Don't be caught in a passerby again! Let it go!"

Don't say it, Xie Lian is also very worried about this. He tugged at Ruo Xie, and the other end didn't move at all. Then he felt relieved and said, "No! That end is very heavy and stable!" He said again, "Take it!"

Against the frantic tornado, Ruo Xie quickly shortened. The four figures quickly moved away from the wind column, and gradually, in the yellow sand in the sky, Xie Lian could clearly see the black outline of a semicircle below. This outline is huge, about the size of a small temple. If the other end of the evil is trapped, it is such a thing. And when they got close to the ground, he finally saw clearly that it was a huge rock.

In this degree of wind and sand, this sandstone seems to be a solid and silent fortress, which is undoubtedly an excellent shelter from the wind.

They had just come all the way, and they had never seen such a rock. I really don't know how far the strange tornado took them. As soon as the four of them landed, they immediately circled to the leeward side of the rock. As soon as he went around, Xie Lian's heart lit up and said: "This is really a blessing from the heavenly officials."

It turned out that there was a hole on the leeward side of this rock. This hole is as wide as two doors, and slightly shorter than the height of the first door, but it is enough for an adult to bend down and bow his head. The opening of the hole is not regular and crooked, but it does not seem to be formed naturally, it may have been artificially excavated. As soon as Xie Lian entered, he found that the rock was almost hollowed out.

space

It doesn't seem to be small, but it's dark inside, and he didn't explore it. He just sat down where the light could get, patted off the yellow sand on Ruo Xie's body, and wrapped it around his wrist.

Both Nanfeng and Fuyao were spitting out sand, their mouth, nose, eyes and ears were all getting into the sand, not to mention the folds of their clothes. When they took them off and shook them, they were full of fine sand and gravel. Among the four, the one who seemed to be safest was Saburo. After bending over to come in, he intentionally brushed off the dust outside the red shirt, and it was gone. Except for his black hair that was slightly scattered and crooked, his comfortable state was not affected in any way. However, his black hair was originally crooked for Xie Lian, and it doesn't matter if it is crooked a little more.

Nan Feng wiped his face, and scolded him. Xie Lian poured out the sand in the bucket hat and said: "Hey, I really didn't expect that you would be blown to the sky. Why don't you make a heavy weight?"

Only then did Nan Feng accept the scolding and said, "I did it! It's useless."

While shaking his robe fiercely, Fuyao said viciously: "Where do you think this is, this is a desert in the extreme northwest, and it is not the home of my generals."

Nanfeng said: "The north is the site of the second general of the Pei family, and the west is the site of Quan Yizhen. There is no Nanyang Temple in a radius of hundreds of miles."

It should be noted that there is still a saying in the world - a strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake. Therefore, the two of them, as priests and lieutenants of the Southeastern Martial God and the Southwestern Martial God, cast spells on a territory that does not belong to them, and their magic power will inevitably be limited. Xie Lian looked at their appearance, they were all very aggrieved and annoyed. I wanted to be blown to the sky by a gust of wind.

Saburo sat on the ground next to him, put his hand on his cheek, and said, "Shall we wait here for the sandstorm to pass?"

Xie pity turned to him and said: "It seems that it can only be like this now. No matter how powerful the tornado is, it will not be able to roll such a large piece of rock into the sky."

Saburo said: "As you said before, this gust of sand is really weird."

Xie Lian suddenly thought of something and said, "Sanlang, let me ask a question."

Saburo said: "Just ask."

Thanks for the pity: "That Banyue National Teacher, is it a male or a female?"

Saburo said: "Didn't I say it? Female."

Xie Lian thought that this was the case, and said, "We stayed in that abandoned building before, didn't we see two people walking past that building? The man in white is a woman in white."

Fuyao doubted, "Looking at that person's robe, it's hard to tell if it's a man or a woman, and he's taller than the average woman. Did you really see it clearly?"

Thanks for the pity: "See clearly, there is no mistake. So I am thinking, will it be Banyue National Teacher."

At that time, he said that these two were by no means ordinary people, because their footwork was light and strange, and they were beyond what an ordinary person could do. After thinking for a moment, Nanfeng said, "It's possible. But there is a man in black walking by her side. Who would that be?"

Thanks for the pity: "It's hard to say, but that person walks faster than her, and his ability is definitely not inferior to her. After all, he will not be her prey. Boss, friend, subordinate, must occupy one."

Fuyao said: "Is it possible that it is the other of the two masters of the Yaodao, the national master of Fangxin?"

Thanks for the pity: "This, I think, the reason why the two masters of Yaodao are called together is only because it is rumored that the things they do are similar in nature, and they are all bad, so let's put them together and make an even number to remember, like What about the four soaring scenes, the four evils in the ghost world, etc. If you don't have four, you must make up four."

Hearing this sentence, Saburo laughed again, thanking him for looking at him, he said: "It's okay, I just think what you said is very reasonable, you continue to say."

Thanks for the pity, he continued: "Actually, they should have nothing to do with them. I have heard a little about this national teacher of Fangxin. He is the national teacher of Yong'an Kingdom. It seems that he was born hundreds of years later than the national teacher of Banyue. ."

Fuyao seemed to feel unreasonable and said, "You don't know the four evils of the ghost world, but you know the Fangxin National Teacher of Yong'an Kingdom in the world?"

Thanks for the pity: "Sometimes, if you pass by, you will understand a little bit. I don't go to the ghost world to collect the junk, and of course I can't understand them."

At this time, the wind outside the cave weakened a little. Nanfeng stood a little outside, patted the rock, checked its material, concentrated for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Why was such a hole dug out of this rock?"

He probably thought the presence of such a rock here was very suspicious. This pity is not surprising, saying: "There are not a few rocks digging holes like this. In the past, Banyue people, in order to avoid the wind and sand when they could not go home in time for grazing, or temporarily spend the night, occasionally dig a hole in the rock like this. Some. The hole wasn't dug, it was blasted."

Nan Feng wondered, "How do you graze in the desert?"

Xie Lian smiled and said: "Two hundred years ago, this place was not all desert, there was also an oasis."

At this time, Saburo said: "Brother."

Xie Lian turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

Saburo pointed and said, "There seems to be writing on the stone you are sitting on."

"What?" Xie Lian bowed his head first, then got up, only to realize that the place where he was sitting was a slate. Wipe the dust, there are words on the slate, but the engraving is relatively shallow, and the writing is not very obvious. Half of the slate was buried in the sand, and the writing stretched all the way up, disappearing into the darkness.

Since there are words, it must be seen. Thanks for the pity: "I don't have much mana, any of you hold a palm flame, help me illuminate, thank you."

Nan Feng snapped his fingers, and in an instant, a flame rose from the palm of his hand. Xie pity glanced at Saburo inadvertently, and he was not surprised. After all, he had seen it for thousands of miles. Xie pity felt that no matter what the two sides showed to each other in the future, there would be no surprise. Nan Feng moved his palm to where Xie Lian pointed, and the flames illuminated the words engraved on the stone slab. The text is very strange, like a child scribbling and scribbling it, slightly tilted, Nanfeng said: "What is this writing?"

Saburo said: "Naturally it is the language of Banyue Kingdom."

Thanks for the pity: "Nanfeng is afraid to ask what it means. Let me see."

He cleaned the sand and stones on the slate all the way, and came to the top row. These characters were very large and seemed to be the problem. And these symbols appear repeatedly on the slate. Fuyao also held up a palm flame and said, "Can you read Banyuewen?"

Thanks for the pity: "To be honest, I have collected junk in Banyue Kingdom."

"..."

Xie Lian felt a moment of silence, looked up, and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Fuyao snorted, "I'm just curious, how many places have you collected junk?"

Xie Lian smiled and looked down. After a while, he suddenly said two words:

"General."

Nanfeng and Fuyao said at the same time, "What?"

Xie Lian raised his head and said: "I said, the words written on the top of this slate are 'General'." After a pause, he said, "However, there is another character after 'General'. However, in the end, I'm not quite sure what this character means."

Nan Feng seemed to be relieved and said, "Then you can take a look."

Xie Lian nodded, Nan Feng held the flame in the palm of his hand, and moved his hand slightly forward. With this move, Xie Lian suddenly felt that something was not right. At the edge of the line of sight, there seems to be something more.

He put his hands on the stone slab covered with words and slowly raised his head.

I saw a faint flame above the slate, reflecting a stiff muscled face in the dark. This face, with two eyeballs looking down, was staring at him.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!"

It wasn't them that screamed, but the muscular face.

Nan Feng also held up the flame in his palm with the other hand, and the flame in both hands suddenly shot up Lao Gao, finally illuminating the entire interior of the cave.

The flame just showed a person who had been hiding in the dark. At this moment, he rolled and crawled to the side, shrinking to the edge of the deep cave, and the edge had already shrunk by seven or eight people, hugging into one. group, shivering.

Nan Feng shouted, "Who are you?!"

This sound of drinking made the whole cave buzzing. Xie Lian was shocked by the screams just now, and his ears were faintly painful. At this time, he had to cover his ears. There was too much wind and sand, and the noise was overwhelming. They couldn't hear each other at all when they spoke in a low voice. After entering the cave, they first began to discuss the Banyue National Teacher, and then concentrated on deciphering the stone slab. Quietly hide from others. The seven or eight people were trembling, and after a while, an old man in his fifties said, "We are a passing caravan, ordinary businessmen. My surname is Zheng. The wind and sand are too big to walk, so let's take shelter here."

He was the calmest of the group and seemed to be the leader. Nanfeng said again: "Since you are an ordinary passing businessman, why are you hiding here?"

Just as the old man surnamed Zheng was about to speak, a 17- or 18-year-old boy beside him said loudly, "We were not sneaky, but you suddenly rushed in. Who knows whether you are good or bad? You keep saying, what Banyue National Teacher, what ghost world, will set fire out of thin air, we thought you were the Banyue soldiers, who came out on patrol to catch people to eat, how dare you make a sound?"

The old man seemed to be afraid that his words collided and angered the other party, and said: "Natural, don't talk nonsense."

The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a big head and a big head, was immediately shut up when the elder said it. Xie Lian's ears finally stopped hurting. He put down his hand and said with a pleasant expression: "A misunderstanding. A misunderstanding. You don't have to be nervous, just relax."

After a pause, he continued: "Of course we are not half-moon soldiers. The next one is the master of a Taoist temple. These people are all in my temple... people, they all learn the technique of Qimen Dunjia. You are ordinary businessmen, and we are just ordinary Taoists, and we have no malicious intentions, but we are both shelterers, and we just happened to enter the same cave."

His voice is gentle, and he speaks so slowly, which can quite soothe people's emotions. After repeated explanations and assurances, the expressions of the businessmen eased.

Who knows, Saburo suddenly smiled and said: "Where, I think these businessmen are not ordinary, they are modest."

People are puzzled, look at him. Saburo said: "Isn't Banyueguan 'every time you pass the pass, more than half of you are missing'? Knowing that there are rumors, you dare to pass here, and you are very courageous. How can you say ordinary?"

Hearing this, Uncle Zheng said: "This young man, this is not necessarily true. In fact, there are also some caravans passing through here and walking safely."

Saburo said: "Oh?"

Uncle Zheng said: "Just find the right person to lead the way, and don't stray into the territory of Banyue Kingdom. So, we specially found a local person to lead the way this time."

The boy Tian Tian said: "Yes! It's still up to the guide. Thanks to Brother Ah Zhao on the way. He took us to avoid a lot of quicksand. When he saw the wind before, he quickly took us to find a place to hide, otherwise he would say Maybe we'll be buried alive in the sand."

Xie Lian took a look, and the Ah Zhao who led them was very young, about twenty years old, with a handsome and dull face, and he didn't say anything about being praised by everyone, he just said: "It's nothing, it's all responsibility I hope the wind will pass, and everyone's camels and goods will be all right."

"It must be all right!"

The attitude of this group of businessmen is very optimistic, but Xie Lian always feels that things are not as simple as they think.

If they don't stray into the Banyue Kingdom Relic Land, there will be no problem. Could it be that those caravans that "missed more than half" in the past did not believe in evil and insisted to die? One or two insisted to die, but with the previous tragic For example, how can people make frequent risks later on?

He thought for a while, and said to Nanfeng Fuyao in a low voice: "The incident happened suddenly. After this gust of sand has passed, we will first ensure that these people leave safely, and then go to the old place of Banyue Kingdom to find out."

Nanfeng and Fuyao naturally would not object. So, Xie Lian continued to look down at the words on the slate. He just recognized the two characters "general", but that was because the word was used a lot, and it was already two hundred years ago that he arrived in Banyue Kingdom. Even if you were familiar with it at that time, after two hundred years, everything will be forgotten, and now it really takes a little time and patience to suddenly regain it. At this time, Saburo said: "General Tomb."

As soon as he said it, Xie Lian remembered it. Isn't the last character the meaning of "mound, tomb, cave"?

He turned his head and said, "Sanlang, you can also read Banyuewen?"

Saburo smiled and said: "Not much. Interested, I know a few."

Xie Lian is used to what he said. The word "場" is not a common word. If he really only "knows a few", how can he just know this one? Since he said "not many", it means "just ask", and he immediately smiles Said: "Excellent. Maybe the few you know are the ones I don't know. Come here and let's watch it together."

He waved lightly, and Saburo went over. Nanfeng and Fuyao held the flames in their palms and illuminated them both. Xie Lian's fingers slowly brushed the words on the monument, discussing with Saburo in a low voice, reading softly, reading and reading, his eyes became more and more strange, and finally gradually settled down. The young man in the caravan was born young after all, and the young man was just curious, and with the fact that the two sides casually talked a few words, he seemed to be familiar with it and asked, "Several brothers, what exactly is written on this slate? "

Xie Lian came back to his senses and replied, "This slate is a tablet, and what is written on the tablet is the life of a general."

Tian Tian said: "A general of Banyue Kingdom?"

Saburo said: "No, it is a general in the Central Plains."

Nanfeng asked suspiciously: "The general of the Central Plains? Then why did the people of Banyue Kingdom erect a tomb for him? Isn't it said that there are constant wars between the two countries?"

Saburo said: "This general is very peculiar. Although the slate refers to him as a general, in fact, he is only a school captain. Moreover, at the beginning, he commanded a hundred people, and later, he commanded seventy people, and then later, He leads fifty men."

"..."

"All in all, it's been demoted all the way."

This kind of experience of devaluation and devaluation, and the experience of devaluation is very familiar. Xie Lian felt that there were two eyes on him. He pretended not to notice and continued to read the words on the slate. At this time, Ting Tiansheng was puzzled and said, "How can you be an official and keep getting lower and lower? As long as you don't make any big mistakes, even if you don't get promoted, you won't get down. Do you have to fail a lot to do this?"

"..."

Xie Lian put his right hand into a fist, put it in front of his mouth, coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "This kid, it is common for this official to do lower and lower things."

"what?"

Saburo laughed and said: "Indeed, often."

After a pause, he continued: "The reason why this colonel is getting lower and lower is not because he is weak in force and unworthy of his position, but because the relationship between the two countries is not good, but he is on the battlefield, not only is he always indifferent. Without success, it will get in the way many times.”

Nanfeng said: "What is a hindrance?"

Saburo said: "Not only does it prevent the other party from killing its own people, but it also prevents its own party from killing the other party's people. If you stop it once, you will be demoted by one level."

He said leisurely, and the seven or eight businessmen gradually sat down, as if they were listening to his story, they were quite engaged, and they expressed their opinions while listening. Tiansheng said: "I feel that this captain is not wrong? It's just that the soldiers are fighting, and they are not allowed to kill the people casually. Is there any problem?"

"Although it's kind of stupid to do this as a soldier of a country, and it's not appropriate, but generally speaking, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Yes, after all, it is to save people, not to harm them."

Xie Lian listened and smiled slightly.

The group of merchants in front of them were neither the common people living in the border area, nor the ancients two hundred years ago. Now that Banyueguo has been wiped out, everyone can mention it again, and naturally they can downplay it or even praise it a few words. Even if you don't agree, you can probably understand it. But in those days, the evaluation of this kind of behavior was definitely not something that could be summed up in one word by a frivolous sentence of "blind good-heartedness".

Among the group, only Ah Zhao knew better because he was a local. He said, "Today is today, and two hundred years ago was two hundred years ago. At that time, the hatred between the two countries was completely unimaginable. . This captain was just demoted, and he was already very lucky."

Fuyao snorted and said, "It's ridiculous."

Xie Lian could almost guess what he was going to say, and rubbed his eyebrows. Sure enough, under the light of the fire, Fuyao's gloomy brows appeared, and he said: "If you are in the position, you will find a job. Since this person is a soldier, he should always keep in mind to defend his country and fight the enemy on the front line. When the country is fighting, killing and wounding is inevitable. Such a woman's kindness will only make his comrades hate him, and the enemy soldiers will find him ridiculous. No one will thank him."

His words are also very reasonable, so there is silence in the cave. Fu Yao said indifferently: "In the end, this kind of person has only one end - death. Either on the battlefield, or at the hands of one's own people."

After a moment of silence, Xie Lian broke the silence and said, "You guessed it right. In the end, he did die on the battlefield."

Tian Tian was shocked: "Ah! How did you die?"

After pondering for a while, Xie Lian still said: "The above said that when the two sides were fighting, they were fighting, the bootstraps were not fastened, they stepped on, and they fell..."

Everyone in the cave originally thought that the general must have died extremely tragically, but when they heard the words, they were all stunned. They all thought what kind of death was this?

"...It was hacked to death by soldiers with red eyes on both sides."

"Hahahahahaha..."

Saburo raised an eyebrow and said, "Is it funny?"

Xie Lian also said: "Cough. Yes, it's quite miserable. Let's sympathize, don't laugh. Since it's in someone's grave, give him some face."

Tiansheng said: "I have no malicious intentions! However, this is too...a bit...haha..."

Xie Lian had no choice, because when he read this, he also wanted to laugh a little, so he had no choice but to continue reading, translate it, and said: "In short, although this captain has a bad reputation in the army, but the border Some of the people of Banyue Kingdom and the Central Plains in the land have been cared for by him, so they call them 'generals', built a simple stone mound here for him, and erected a stone slab to commemorate him."

Saburo then said: "Come here to herd sheep in his spare time, and also cut some fresh grass for him."

Xie pity said inexplicably: "Ah? Why do you want to cut grass for him? They are not sheep."

Saburo giggled and said, "I made up the latter sentence."

Xie Lian looked at it, it was true, there was no more behind the slate, and he couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Why are you so naughty?"

Saburo stuck out his tongue, the two were laughing, and suddenly, someone exclaimed: "What is this!!!"

This cry appeared extremely sharp and buzzing in the entire cave, making people creepy. Xie pity looked at the place where the scream came out and said: "What's wrong!"

The person who was sitting there rolled away and ran away, panicking: "Snake!"

Nanfeng and Fuyao turned their arms, and two palm flames illuminated the ground there from afar. Above the sand, there is a long snake with bright colors!

Everyone panicked: "How come there are snakes?!"

"This...why doesn't this snake make a sound at all? I don't know when one will come in here!"

The snake was lit by the fire, and the snake's body was raised. It seemed to be extremely vigilant, ready to attack at any time. Nan Feng was about to slash with a flame in his palm, but he saw someone walking slowly, grabbed the snake by the seven inches, raised his left hand, raised it in front of his eyes to observe, and said, "There are some in the desert. Snake, isn't it common?"

Such a bold and unscrupulous person is naturally Saburo. The so-called "beating a snake and hitting seven inches" means that if this snake is pinched to death for seven inches, no matter how ruthless its fangs are, it will not be able to get up. The snake's tail was tangled softly on his left arm for several times. At this moment, the distance was close. Thank you for taking a closer look. The snake's skin seems to be translucent. You can see the bright purple red inside, and the purple red is still there. The black color mixed with wisps is reminiscent of the color of internal organs, which is very uncomfortable, and the tail of the snake is actually flesh-colored, and it looks like a hard shell has grown layer by layer. Not like a snake's tail, but like a scorpion's tail.

After seeing this section clearly, Xie Lian's expression suddenly changed, and he said: "Be careful of its tail!"

Before he finished speaking, the snake's entangled tail suddenly released Saburo's arm, and the tip of the tail seemed to become another snake's head, and it bounced back and stabbed!

The thorn of the tail was extremely fierce, but Saburo's right hand swung out, and he grabbed the tail with ease. He pinched the tail, as if he was holding something fun, and showed it to Xie Lian, smiling: "This tail is interesting."

I saw that the tip of the snake's tail had a fleshy red thorn. Xie Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine if you don't get stuck. It really is a scorpion-tailed snake."

Nanfeng and Fuyao also came to see the snake and said, "Scorpion-tailed snake?"

Thanks for the pity: "Yes. It is a unique poison in Banyue Kingdom, and the quantity is relatively rare. I have never seen it, but I have heard of it. The body is like a snake and its tail is like a scorpion, but its poison is more than the two. It is still violent, whether it is bitten by its poisonous teeth or pierced by its poisonous tail, all..."

Speaking of which, he saw Saburo twisting the snake around in his hands, sometimes stretching it, sometimes shortening it, sometimes twisting it like a towel, and almost tying it with a bow. He was speechless for a moment, and then gently persuaded: "Sanlang, don't play with it, it's very dangerous."

Saburo smiled and said, "It's fine. Brother, don't worry. This scorpion-tailed snake is the totem of the Banyue National Teacher. It's a rare opportunity. Of course, look carefully."

Xie Lian was stunned and said, "The totem of Ban Yue Guo Shi?"

Saburo said: "Exactly. It is said that Banyue National Teacher is precisely because he can manipulate this kind of scorpion-tailed snake. Banyue thinks that she has boundless mana and worships her as the national teacher."

As soon as I heard the word "manipulation", Xie Lian felt that it was not good, and I thought, when it comes to "manipulation", it has always been a large group, and immediately said: "Everyone, go out now, this scorpion. I'm afraid there may be more than one snake..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream: "Ah!!!"

Several people exclaimed: "Snake!" "A lot of snakes!" "There are also here!"

In the darkness, seven or eight purple-red scorpion-tailed snakes quietly crawled out. They came very suddenly, and they didn't even know which hole they came out of. They didn't attack, and they quietly stared at the group of people, as if they were examining something. This snake crawls and attacks silently, not even the "hissing" sound of ordinary poisonous snakes when they spit letters, which is extremely dangerous. Nanfeng and Fuyao hit the palm flames, and a large group of fire exploded in the cave, thanking them: "Go out!"

No matter where they dared to stay in the cave, they hurriedly escaped. Fortunately, the sky was twilight, the tornado was long gone, and the sandstorm outside was much smaller. The group of people withdrew to the open area, ran and ran, Xie Lian was thinking about what this is really saying, and the old man Zheng who was born to support suddenly fell down. Xie Lian rushed forward and said, "What's wrong?"

The old man Zheng had a painful expression on his face, and he raised his hand tremblingly. Xie Lian grabbed his hand and looked at him, and his heart sank. I saw that his tiger's mouth was purple-red, swollen and tall, and a very thin hole could barely be seen in the swollen place. After being stuck for a while, he couldn't notice it, and immediately said: "Everyone, check if there are any wounds on your body. If there is any, quickly tie it with a rope!" Then he turned his wrist and looked at the meridians, and there was a purple-red vein that was visible to the naked eye. The color is climbing up along his meridians. Xie Lian thought that this snake venom was so powerful, and was about to remove Ruo Xie, but saw Ah Zhao tearing off the cloth and tying it in the center of the old man's forearm, and tying it tightly, preventing the poisonous blood from flowing back into the heart. He moved very quickly, Xie Lian secretly praised him, raised his head, and he didn't need to say more, Nan Feng had already taken out a medicine bottle, poured out a pill, Xie Lian gave it to the old man, and was born panicked and shouted: "Uncle , are you alright?! Brother Ah Zhao, will my uncle not die?!"

Ah Zhao shook his head and said, "Being bitten by a scorpion-tailed snake will definitely kill you within two hours."

Tian Tian was stunned and said, "Then... what should I do then?"

Uncle Zheng was the leader of the caravan, and the merchants also said anxiously, "Didn't this little brother give him medicine?"

Nanfeng said: "The food I gave him is not an antidote, but a temporary extension of his life. At most, I can help him delay two hours to twelve hours."

All the merchants were in a hurry: "There are only twelve hours?" "So, doesn't it mean that you can only wait to die like this?" "Is there no cure for this poison?"

At this time, Saburo came up slowly and said, "There is help."

Everyone looked at him. Tianshengyi was overjoyed, turned his head and said, "Brother Zhao, why didn't you tell me earlier, it scared me to death!"

Ah Zhao did not speak, but shook his head silently. Saburo said: "Of course he can't tell. If the poisoned person can be saved, others may not. How can I say?"

Thanks for the pity: "Sanlang, how do you say?"

Saburo said: "Brother, do you know the origin of this scorpion-tailed snake?"

It turns out that, according to legend, hundreds of years ago, a king of Banyueguo went hunting in the deep mountains, and accidentally caught two monsters transformed by poison, a poisonous snake spirit and a scorpion spirit.

These two poisons were cultivated in the deep mountains, regardless of world affairs, and never harmed anyone, but the Banyue King wanted to kill them on the grounds that they were poisons and would harm people sooner or later. The two goblins begged the lord to let them live, but the lord was cruel and lustful, forcing the two goblins to mate in front of him and a group of ministers for them to drink and have fun at the banquet. After the banquet was over, the king still killed the two poisons.

Only the queen could not bear it, and did not dare to disobey the lord, so she plucked a vanilla leaf, threw it over, and covered the two poisonous corpses.

Poisonous snakes and scorpions turned into evil creatures, and they were very resentful. They cursed that their offspring would stay here forever and kill the people of Banyue Kingdom. Therefore, scorpion-tailed snakes only appear in Banyueguo, and once bitten or stabbed by them, the poison will be swiftly released and the death will be tragic. However, because of the queen's kindness, the herb leaves that the queen used to throw over to cover them that day can detoxify this poison.

After speaking, Saburo said: "That kind of herb is called Shanyuecao, and it only grows in the homeland of Banyueguo."

When the merchants heard about it, they all said: "This... this kind of myth and legend, can you really believe it?"

"This little brother, life is at stake, don't joke with us!"

Saburo smiled but didn't say a word, and he didn't say much after he finished speaking to Xie Lian. Tian Tian asked that A Zhao for proof: "Brother Zhao, is what the brother in red said true?"

After pondering for a moment, Ah Zhao said: "Myths and legends are true or false. However, there are indeed good moon grass growing in Banyue Kingdom. And good moon grass can indeed detoxify the poison of scorpion snakes."

Xie Lian said slowly: "That is to say, people who are bitten by a scorpion snake have only a chance of life. And this chance of life can only be obtained in the homeland of Banyue Kingdom?"

No wonder there are many caravans and travelers passing by, knowing that "every time they cross the border, more than half of them are missing", and they also break into the hometown of Banyue Kingdom.

Not because they were bent on going to death, but because they had a reason to go in. If there are many scorpion-tailed snakes in this area, the caravan passing by will inevitably be bitten. After being bitten, he had to go to the hometown of Banyue Kingdom to get the antidote.

The scorpion-tailed snake is both the totem of Banyue Yaodao and can be manipulated by her, so the appearance of this scorpion-tailed snake is definitely not a coincidence. With just a few of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to protect so many people. I don’t know if there will be more scorpion-tailed snakes. In order to prevent these people from doing anything in case, thank you and pity, put two fingers on the temple, run the psychic array, and want to see if I can borrow a few more cheeky. Here comes the little priest. Who knows, the operation will not work, and there is no news.

He put down his hand, feeling strange, and said to himself, "I haven't used up my mana so quickly, right? I calculated it in the morning, and there is clearly a little left." Then he turned to Nanfeng and Fuyao: "Who among you tried to enter the psychic formation? I can't get in here."

After a while, the two of them looked solemn, Nan Feng said, "I can't go in either."

It is impossible to get in because the sandstorm is too big. In some evil places, the mana of some priests will be affected, temporarily weakened or blocked. I'm afraid that's what happened to them now.

Xie Lian paced back and forth in place for a while, looked up and said: "It may be because it is too close to the ancient country of Banyue..." At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an unusually dazzling red in the corner of his eyes.

Nanfeng and Fuyao were here trying to enter the psychic formation. Other businessmen were busy checking for small wounds on their bodies. Only that young man was born, just holding Uncle Zheng in a hurry, unaware that there was a purple-red scorpion. The tail snake was silently crawling up his back.

And it was coiled on Tiansheng's shoulder, and its fangs were aimed at not the neck of this young man, but the arm of Saburo who was standing casually beside him.

The snake rises behind and stands out!

Just before the fangs were about to stab Saburo, Xie Lian reached out and pinched its seven inches with great precision.

With the strength of his hand, this pinch could have directly exploded the seven inches of the snake, causing its liver and brain to splash. However, he didn't know whether the snake's flesh and blood also contained toxins, so he didn't dare to move rashly, and immediately went to pinch it. snake tail. Who knows, the slippery body of the snake is extremely difficult to catch, thank you for pinching it, only to feel a round, soft, cold thing slipping away from the fingers, and the next moment, there is a sharp needle-like pain on the back of the hand.
