Chapter 78
At this time, good wine and good food, a road are served on the table, Tang Gong really generous amount of wine, even with all the people also drink to the fullest.
During the meeting, Mo Qi asked about the fat cat A flower how to be injured, Tang Gong sighed, slowly said.
It is his recent wanderings, a few days ago to Xiangyang, I heard that the mountains west of the city, there are strange snakes often hurt, the people reported to the government, the government is not interested in the morning, to a do not care, so the people are now afraid to firewood near the mountain, many people are therefore lost their livelihoods, Tang Gong was informed of the excitement of the righteous indignation, decided to go to the west of the mountains to clear the snake disease in Xiangyang.
After he entered the mountain, relying on a sword, as well as the fat cat a flower to help, but also killed seven or eight poisonous snakes, but did not meet the people of Xiangyang said the ‘Golden Horn Snake’.
So all the way deep, I do not know how far to go, through a canyon, suddenly leaped out of a two zhang long, human leg thick snake, black scales all around the body through the golden light, forehead tumors like horns, especially dazzling, it is the people of Xiangyang said that the strange snake.
Tang Gong read the Buddhist scriptures when he was a teenager, and immediately recognized that it was the source of its own poisonous bodhisattva snake.
Just this one snake somehow, was born especially large, and as the legend of the general leaping like the wind, Tang Gong and he fought a few rounds, is not a rival, even the hands of the long sword, also ate this snake a bite swallowed.
The crowd heard here, can’t help but be surprised, Mo Qi called: “The snake swallowed the long sword, not afraid of scratching the belly and intestines?”
Tang Gong shook his head blankly: “I also do not know, but look at the snake swallowed my sword, but seemed to rejoice and encourage.”
Tang Gong’s sword is lost, more and more do not want to love the war, immediately turned around to escape, the snake all the way to chase, thanks to Ah Hua give up their lives to entangle, desperately lured away from the snake, Tang Gong escaped from the sky.
Unexpectedly, Tang Gong all the way gasping to escape to the periphery of the forest, has been exhausted, sitting under a large tree to rest, the tree suddenly popped out a green snake, open fangs bite, Tang Gong is not as evasive, fortunate to have Ah Hua from the oblique leap out, a bite of the poisonous snake, once again saved Tang Gong’s life.
Just a flower at this time also tired hard, was the green snake to break free and turn around, in the back of the cat bites a mouth, a flower negative pain, and exhausted the remaining force to bite the viper, they are also dying.
Tang Gong know some of the medicinal properties, know that the snake infested, within seven steps there must be an antidote, and immediately in the forest to find a “seven-leafed one flower”, chewed up for the A flower compress, holding back to the city.
But the poison of the green snake is quite fierce, although Ah Hua has applied the medicine, but still increasingly withered, see difficult to live.
Tang Gong with this cat for life, how can we not bear to see it die? Anxious, suddenly remembered Bodhi Qu snake gall can cure all kinds of snake venom, immediately to risk re-entry into the western mountains, unexpectedly met Ye Kuhong and his entourage, got the snake gall to save the cat’s life.
Tang Gong said the end, Hu Daniu frowned and said: “body poison country Bodhi Qu snake, my master had said to me, this snake toxicity is very strong, and can grow to very long great, fierce and evil incomparable, so for heaven and earth is not allowed, so this snake growth and reproduction place, there must be born raptor infestation, to restrain, so that it does not to flood into disaster. Now this place bodhi flexor snake this kind of rampant, but with my master said very different.”
Ye Guhong interjected, “Brother Hu, your master’s statement is mostly correct. Decades ago, there was a strange warrior in the jianghu, often with a giant eagle by his side, known as the divine eagle warrior ……”
Yin Liu and Mo Qi said in unison, “Could it be the Divine Eagle Warrior who killed the Mongolian Khan with a flying stone?”
Ye Guhong said, “Not bad! This Divine Eagle Warrior, and my school’s ancestor, and even Wudang Zhang Zhenren, all have a connection. That giant eagle by his side is exactly what he got from the valley to the left of Xiangyang.”
Mo Qi slapped his thighs and said with vigor, “Then what else is there to say? It turns out that before this strange snake can not be harmful, is that the giant eagle to restrain, and then the giant eagle followed the divine eagle warrior gone, these strange snakes for decades to multiply, the children and grandchildren born old more than the original land can not support many snakes, so they have to roam out, so the harmful things have happened again and again.”
Yin Liu said: “If this is the case, we can’t do nothing when it happens, but we can try to eradicate these poisonous snakes as much as possible.”
Tang Gong was overjoyed and said, “If there are Wudang and Emei warriors to help us, even if we meet that giant snake, it will be enough for us to fight.
The people at this time eat drunken, and are young warriors, it is “drink hearty chest gall bladder still open”, immediately XingHaoHou, will be to the mountains to eradicate the strange snake.
To get up and go downstairs, only to see the hotelkeeper waiting at the door, holding more than twenty silver, bitter smile: “all guests, small store try to serve, wine and food, half dare not slow down, just really can’t use a lot of silver, after counting the account is still a lot of, don’t be blamed.”
Tang Gong also do not think, smoothly put away in the arms, said: “to be accomplished back, we again seek a drunk.”
At that moment led the crowd to the west of the city then traveled, on the way through a pharmacy, Hu Da Niu called to stop the crowd, go to the store to buy a lot of drugs, came out and said: “Since we want to get rid of snakes, can not be careless, I bought some medicines, be prepared for any trouble.”
Again forward, out of the city gate, walked for more than half an hour, only to see the mountains in front of the dense forest, Tang Gong said: “This is infested with poisonous snakes, everyone must be more careful.”
All heard, each switch out long sword, Tang Gong’s sword was previously swallowed by the snake, folded a wrist thick wooden stick in hand, led the way in front, Yin six, Mo seven guard both sides, Ye Kuhong pressure walking in the last, the rest of Omei disciples, are protected in the center.
So and walk a few steps, really one after another there are poisonous snakes appear, a colorful, Hu Da Niu concluded: “These snakes, probably afraid of those strange snakes, so be driven in the periphery.”
Mo Qi said, “Since it is a poisonous snake, killing it is.” At that moment, the swords were stabbed at the seven inches of the poisonous snakes, and nailed them to death one by one.
Yin Liu, Tang Gong also did not stay, sword stabbing stick beating, killing.
These ordinary poisonous snakes, the threat to the people is very great, but in the face of prepared Wudang, Emei group of warriors, but not inevitably deaths and injuries.
So go another ride, only to see the surrounding trees, more and more tall, branches and leaves cover the sky, appear to be dark and heavy, do not hear birds and beasts roar, in addition to the crowd walking on the ground stepped on the sound of withered branches, a silence.
Yin Liu said: “everyone be careful, the forest is so quiet, very unusual.”
Tang Gong suddenly pointed with his stick and shouted, “That canyon, it is exactly where the Bodhi Qu Giant Snake leaps out!”
Before the words fell, the fat cat Ah Hua suddenly drilled out of his clothes, jumped to the ground, pointed claws popped out, small eyes stirred up, back hair exploded a piece of low roar: “Meow a woo!”
Then listen to the clattering sound, a two feet long snake, such as a fast wind, swept out from the valley.
Mo Qi shouted in shock, “So fast! Sisters and sisters quickly retreat!”
But he jumped, a move in the air “immortal pointing the way”, stabbed at the snake seven inches.
It’s from India, black and shiny, extremely poisonous, and can grow very big–
If you don’t consider the so-called sarcoma on top of the head, I think this is almost a king cobra!
The large king cobra can grow up to six meters, the thickness of the thigh, should be the world’s largest venomous snake, there may be even larger in ancient times is not known.
