The two-headed monster python is enough to make people feel chilly, not to mention that this python is also highly poisonous. If the python hadn't targeted me, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
Before I could recover from the shock, I heard a soft sound coming from the direction of the pool. When I looked back, I saw a two-headed python with red scales that was as thick as a human leg and had risen upright from the water. The forked snake head was bent like an iron hook in the air, and two pairs of snake eyes stared at me at the same time.
I wanted to avoid the two-headed snake's gaze, but my eyes involuntarily met the two-headed snake's inverted pupils. My eyes only touched the other person's, like a little beast being stared at by a natural enemy. Apart from trembling, I couldn't even muster the courage to escape.
An instant later, two snake heads shot up at the same time, and their four fangs locked on the vital points of my body at the same time. As I watched the two snake heads enlarging in my eyes, the body of the two-headed python seemed to be held behind by something. It suddenly stopped half a foot away, with only two slithering snakes. Nobuko suddenly leaned towards my face.
It was only then that I was awakened by the chill brought by the snake letter. My legs softened and I sat on the ground. But at this moment, the two-headed snake let out an unwilling roar, bit the companion who was killed by me, and quickly returned to the water.
Si Ruo rushed up from behind, grabbed my clothes and dragged me far away: "Why didn't you hide just now?"
"I can't hide..." I replied ignorantly, "I couldn't move when I was stared at by the snake just now."
"Haha..." Zhang Yuan sneered, "I think he was frightened, right? With so much courage, is he worthy of being a detective?"
Si Ruo said sternly: "Zhang Yuan, don't you just want to eliminate demons and protect the Tao? Okay, I'll give you a chance. Now let's go to the hillside and fight alone until death. Do you dare to come?"
"Why don't you dare?" Zhang Yuan was overjoyed and stood up to go down the mountain. Ruan Dalong raised his hand and gave the other party a slap: "Zhang Yuan, do you think what I said is fart? Do you want to fight alone? Okay, I will accompany you."
Zhang Yuan shouted with red eyes: "Boss Ruan, she is a demon sect witch, why do you want to stop me from taking revenge?"
Ruan Dalong said angrily: "I have said what needs to be said, and I don't want to say more. If you want to challenge me, come at me!"
Zhang Yuan hesitated for a long time, put down his weapon, and sat aside with his back to the crowd.
Although I heard Zhang Yuan's cynicism and Si Ruo's confrontation with the opponent in order to protect me, my head was buzzing.
When encountering water, step back five steps; when encountering grass, do not take a single step toward the sky.
The woman was right, she was telling me how to escape. The distance I had just retreated from the water was about five steps, but the two-headed snake failed to kill me because of the half-foot difference—the attack range of the two-headed snake was within five steps of the water.
Her words were accurate. I haven't encountered the second sentence yet, but what if it is accurate
Ruan Dalong said in a deep voice: "Stay away from the water. The snake can't get out of the water. Don't be afraid. I'll guard the water's edge and you can rest."
At this point, no matter how scared they are, they can only stop where they are and wait for their fate.
Although I was leaning against a stone with my eyes closed, my ears were always paying attention to the movements around me. It wasn't until I heard Si Ruo's breathing becoming evener that I quietly stood up and touched the foot of the mountain.
As soon as my front feet landed, I heard Tao Xiaoyao whisper: "Where do you want to go?"
When I turned around, Tao Xiaoyao was three steps away from me. It seemed that she came down the mountain one step ahead of me. I said solemnly: "I want to see what is written on the stone tablet behind the dragon turtle."
This was a completely made-up reason. I wanted to go back to the sea to see if the woman would appear again.
Tao Xiaoyao said: "I also want to see what is written on the stone tablet. Let's go together so that we can have someone to take care of us."
It was too late for me to think about the reasons now. Besides, I didn’t want anyone to know my true purpose, so I could only follow Little Demon Tao quietly towards the direction of the stone temple.
Tao Xiaoyao's thinking may not be wrong.
In China, you can see turtle steles in many places. Some stone turtles are just simple turtle shapes, and some have dragon heads and turtle bodies, but in general, the legend of "Nine Sons of the Dragon" cannot be avoided.
According to legend, the stone turtle is named Bixi, also known as Baxia, and likes to bear heavy loads by nature. There are legends that it was Dayu who placed the merit stele behind Bixi when he was controlling the floods; there are also legends that Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to help Jiulongzi Huitian, who founded his country, and deliberately tricked Bixi into carrying the merit stele, and Bixi was killed by merit. He was suppressed by the force and could not lift off, so he could only stay in the human world, and the other dragons also stayed behind.
No matter what the legend is, there is always one thing in common, that is, the merits are engraved on the stone tablets. What Tao Xiaoyao wanted to see was probably what was recorded on that stone tablet. Maybe the clue to our escape lies in that stone tablet.
The two of us were cautiously approaching the edge of the stone temple. When we reached the edge of the temple gate, we couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The dragon turtle didn't know when it moved all the corpses that it had torn into pieces to the stone temple, and piled them in the pit it crawled out of. From our perspective, we can only see a pile of bloody corpses, but we can't find where the stone monument is.
Tao Xiaoyao made a "waiting" gesture to me and walked half a circle around the stone temple. Then he came back and said to me: "The stone tablet must have been pressed under the body by the dragon turtle. I'll go and get the dragon." Guoyin away, you find a way to see the stone monument. You must move quickly, I won't be able to hold you back for long."
Before I could object, Tao Xiaoyao suddenly took out a steel ball from his hand and hit Dragon Turtle's nostrils directly.
Although the sleeping dragon turtle's body was covered with shields, there was no protection in its nostrils. He was suddenly hit by a steel ball, which immediately hurt his heart and lungs. He suddenly stood up with a roar and rushed towards the direction of Tao Xiaoyao. Rush away. I quickly dodged and hid behind the stone wall.
Before I could stand upright, the dragon turtle hit the wall next to me, causing rocks to fly. The tortoise shell, which was shaped like an iron cone, almost brushed past me. Fortunately, Dragon Turtle's attention was all on Tao Xiaoyao, so he didn't realize that there was another person beside him.
I watched the dragon turtle chase the little peach demon and quickly ran into the distance, then turned around and rushed into the stone temple. But where is the stone tablet at the place where the Dragon Turtle just lay down? I walked around the temple for half a circle before I saw a corner of the stone tablet under the mountains of corpses.
When I jumped into the bottom of the pit and reached out to push the body on the monument, a hand came out from among the stones and quickly pressed down on my wrist. I suddenly raised my head in horror and saw Si Ruo's back.
Si Ruozheng was sitting among the bloody corpses with her back to me. She turned around and clasped my wrist with one hand. Most of her clothes were soaked in blood.
Just like Si Ruo, who was wearing a red robe, he sat motionless on the spot, but his head slowly turned behind him: "You want to read the words on the stone tablet, right?"
With just a flick of Si Ruo's hand, the corpse on the stone tablet was divided to both sides, revealing a few lines of big characters stained red with blood: A Thousand Miles to Seek the True Immortal, among the vast mountains and seas. If you want to achieve immortality, you need to ascend to the ninth heaven.
Si Ruoyou said quietly: "The meaning of these four sentences is that if you want to find immortals and ask questions, you have to go up the mountain from here. The mountain is nine levels high and the sky is nine levels high. When you enter the Tianmen, you will find what you are looking for. "
I said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Are you Si Ruo?"
Si Ruoda said nonchalantly: "Going up the mountain from here, you will encounter many unexpected things along the way. There are clues to the mountain on every level. If you find it, you can reach the top. If you can't find it, you will die without a burial."
"There will be people coming to look for you tomorrow. Some of them are dead and alive. Remember, don't do anything to people you know unless you have to. They may be your way of survival, even if they are already dead."
I snapped: "I'm asking you a question! Are you Si Ruo?"
Si Ruo was still talking to himself: "You will definitely be hungry and thirsty during the process of going up the mountain. There are some things you can eat and some things you must not touch, otherwise you will be doomed. You must remember."
I took a deep breath and said, "Why do you want to help me?"
Si Ruo continued: "If you have a chance, kill the snake, dig out its eyes and eat them. Don't let any of the four eyes fall down. There are things at the snake's tail that you need. Remember, that thing Only you can use it, don’t let others see it.”
When I saw the other party refused to say anything, I could only say another way: "Where is this place?"
"It may be Penglai, or it may not be." Si Ruodao, "No one can tell whether this island is a fairy island or a ghost island before landing on Jiuchongtian. Whether you can escape or not depends on your luck. "
While Si Ruo was speaking, he suddenly put his other hand into the pile of corpses, grabbed a blood-stained ball from it and stuffed it into my arms: "Hold it and run."
"Turtle egg?" I was immediately startled by what was in my hand. Dragon turtles are violent, bloodthirsty and easy to kill. If they see me holding its eggs, why should they chase me desperately
I was just about to put the dragon turtle egg back when Si Ruo suddenly turned around and grabbed my neck. He raised one finger of his other hand to pierce the egg shell and pointed the opening of the turtle egg into my mouth: "Drink it, and with its support, you can stop eating for a while. Some things must not be eaten."
I just felt that when the egg white poured into my mouth like running water, the thunderous roar of the dragon turtle suddenly came from a distance.
broken!
The dragon turtle must have returned.
Si Ruo suddenly grabbed me by the collar and threw me out of the stone temple: "Hold the egg and run quickly. If it's too late, you'll be dead."
She didn't need to tell me, but I knew that once the dragon turtle saw half of the turtle egg in my hand being drunk, it would go crazy with hatred and cut me into pieces.
