"Teng snake!" This thought flashed through my mind like lightning, and I couldn't believe it.
This snake is a divine creature in Taoist legends. There is a kind of snake that can turn into a dragon without turning into a dragon. It only needs to go through a tribulation of heaven to become a dragon. It is this kind of snake, also known as the soaring snake. Its biggest feature is that it has no power. Fly with wings.
There are many opinions about it, and many things in Taoism are inevitably related to it, such as divination, Qimen... Even in legends, it is also a high-ranking divine object, the twelve star generals, the god of fire, and the most mysterious of the five images. The divine object in the middle of the central earth is hidden but not visible... Because it is hidden but not visible, people generally only talk about the four images.
In short, I was completely confused at that moment... I have had a rough life and have experienced a lot. I even accepted Kunlun Penglai, but how can I accept the fact that a legendary 'mythical beast' really exists
Doesn't that mean you want to tell me that "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is true? Does that mean I still have to believe in the Jade Emperor? Even if I believe in the Three Pure Ones, I may not be able to accept the existence of gods all over the sky!
I can only tell myself that it is a 'different species', a mysterious creature that I have never seen before... But when it appeared in front of King Liu Sheng so suddenly, King Liu Sheng was probably shocked. He took two steps back, not daring to face this weird little snake.
As soon as he retreated like this, the spell he cast on me was ineffective... My soul was shaken at that moment, and the feeling surged back into my body like a tide, but such a sudden return, Just like when a tight rubber band is relaxed and bounces against my flesh, my soul also suffered a little shock and damage.
But the snake that soared in front of King Liu Sheng actually stopped in front of him. The very anthropomorphic man stood up and made a strange hissing sound. For a moment, I felt that the air was heating up.
"Stop looking, let's go!" Master dragged me.
Although I was full of curiosity about the snake, I had no choice but to follow Master's footsteps and run deeper into the forest.
I ran for more than a hundred meters and entered the dense forest. I heard a miserable howl from King Liu Sheng. I didn’t know what was going on. I couldn’t help but be curious. I turned around and glanced, only to see flames shooting into the sky over there. .
"Is it really a snake?" I couldn't help but mutter to myself.
As the master ran, he said to me: "There are too many hidden things in this world. There once was a great lineage, guarded by the soul of a real divine beast. Do you think I should believe it or not? However, this snake Son, even if it is a snake, it is still a baby snake. Even Wu Tianlai, a real snake, would not have passed so easily."
There is no road in the dense forest, there are overgrown weeds and thorns, there are potholes in the middle, and there are stones... Master and I ran staggeringly, it was extremely laborious, because my soul was injured, my overall condition was not good, and I was panting while running. , while feeling extremely shocked, I seemed to have thought of something, but my mind was still on the snake that suddenly appeared. I couldn't help but ask Master: "Is it really a snake? What if we were running? No need to run. .. Even a baby snake.”
In my mind, the best thing is to hijack the car, and then "fly far away" with Master and meet up with everyone. This desolate and uninhabited mountain forest, with even snakes appearing, is not a good place to go. Master and I What to do if you get lost in it? We are still two people whose powers have been sealed, we are just stronger ordinary people. Even if we encounter some kind of beast inside, we will still... .
But the master said: "Don't think that King Liu Sheng is an easy person to get along with. Your spiritual sense is strong and your soul is also strong? What did you feel just now?"
When I mentioned the feeling just now, I broke out in cold sweat. I couldn't help but say: "Just now... Just now I felt like if I were just a moment later, my soul would be pulled out."
"That's it! He is actually on guard against me. He seems to be wholeheartedly trying to deal with you, but in fact he is not trying his best. And even if that snake is a snake, don't you understand that natural advantages must also be acquired through acquired growth? Although it was shocking when it appeared, I can feel that it can't overwhelm that King Liu Sheng in terms of momentum." Master ran easier than me and spoke fluently. What's strange is that he seemed to know where to run, in this dense forest There was no feeling like a headless fly rushing around at all, and he took me very calmly.
"Then are you afraid that they will catch up again?" I couldn't help but ask.
"For this reason, the snakes that appear later are the key to the matter. However, these snakes have become spirits and cannot really be sacrificed for us. At most, they will delay some time. In addition, Wu Tian's ten generals, I I heard a piece of news, that is, there are people who are doing things openly, and there are also people who are doing it secretly." Master pulled us over a deep ditch that had dried up, and said one more thing to me.
But I couldn't quite understand it, so I asked Master, "What do you mean?"
"It means that they never do things alone, they always appear in the light and dark, and they have a special way of contacting each other. When King Liu Sheng works in the light, there will always be another Holy King not far away. We Even if you don't find it, you still have to take precautions, do you understand?" Master explained to me this way.
It was completely dark now. Master and I were running without flashlights. Even though I felt that Master seemed to know the road, the speed inevitably slowed down, and Master even stumbled when running.
But Master's words made me run so hard that I couldn't help but feel chills running down my back. A Saint King Liu was so difficult to deal with. What if there was another Saint King? The consequences... Moreover, Master said that it is impossible for the snakes to really be able to deal with King Liu Sheng. Even if they can be dealt with, those snakes are just delaying time for us...
When I think about this situation, I feel tremendous pressure and want to run fast... But, how can I get fast in this mountain forest
Master didn't intend to hide anything from me, and told me even worse news. He said: "There is a 'secret door' (hidden Dharma door) on the nails that are driven into our bodies. Within a certain distance, They can all know our location through special methods. We have to escape, and time is very tight!"
Can it get any worse? I thought we had escaped! Now this situation is... At this time, I wish I could give birth to four legs. Unfortunately, this is even more impossible than letting me see all the strange beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
My breathing became heavier and heavier, and Master also became short of breath... But in this dense forest, the weeds seemed to have no end, and under the moonlight, all kinds of weird screams filled the ears, making people more and more desperate.
At this time, I felt that the mysterious nail on my body began to tremble slightly. It was subtle at first, but later it became extremely obvious!
Because it was nailed into my flesh, I couldn't ignore it, so I just looked at Master helplessly and panicked.
We used all the tricks we could. In order to get out of this predicament, even Master had to tell "lies" to temporarily deceive Yang Sheng. If we were "caught" again this time, there really would be no way around it. We have no choice but to fight to the death, but the result will definitely be that we lose!
And losing means we are going to die. Under normal circumstances, who would really not care about their own life or death
I got a response from the master at this glance. He also glanced at me, and then smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that King Liu Sheng has escaped from trouble and is looking for our position at this time. Otherwise, this nail would not be like this." Reaction."
"What's the distance?" I gasped. Under this predicament, I wanted to give myself a little hope, just like endless running and purposeful running. The latter will make people more motivated.
"I don't know." The master smiled bitterly, but when he looked ahead, he still said: "The only thing you can do is run, and you can't give up any hope."
"Yes!" I agreed, and my master and I continued to stumble through the dense forest.
Because it was a long stretch of mountains, we were running uphill, which was even more tiring... And I was thinking to myself, if there were pursuers behind us, they should have caught up with us, and they should be able to run easier than my master and I, because Using arcane magic to track us, we are like two lights in the night.
I don’t know if the word “bright light” gave me a hint. My back felt numb all of a sudden. I couldn’t help but look back. Sure enough, I saw dots of lights in the distance that were still a little distance away from us. !
I took a breath of cold air. Are the pursuers coming? so fast? And since they have the tools to light up, it will be a matter of time before they catch up with us.
"Master." I couldn't help but shout weakly. When the master heard this, he turned around suddenly. He naturally saw this situation, and the beard on his face twitched, but he sighed and said to me : "Cheer up and keep running!"
Apart from this, what else can be done? I looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, but the natural moon looked a little pale at this time, making me breathless.
But it was also at this time that I heard the faint sound of the bamboo flute again, as if it was guiding our path ahead.
"Yes! Chengyi, work harder." The master suddenly became excited.
And I finally couldn't help it, and asked Master dissatisfiedly: "Master, who is that? It's not entirely because of the powder, is it? Is someone helping us?"
