Dong Yun originally thought that the little dragon guarding the Dragon Soul Grass was hibernating or falling asleep. Unexpectedly, he was resting in the cave. After hearing the sound, he jumped up and threw the hatchet in his hand back into space. The two jumped up and down. He ran to the corner of the steps and sat down cross-legged away from the Dragon Soul Grass and the cave.
But the guardian animals of the spiritual herbs must also be spiritual creatures. She took the initiative to stay away from the Dragon Soul Grass and did not carry a weapon in her hand to show her goodwill.
After sitting down, she quickly took out a bag containing pills. Le Yun poured out two pills and waited to chat with the guardian dragon in a very friendly and kind manner.
At first, only a slight splashing sound was heard. Soon, the "splashing" sound coming from the cave was as violent as the waves hitting the burnt rocks, and the water flowing out of the cave also came from time to time. off, the water speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the water quality is turbid.
As the sound of splashing water became louder and louder, a cold wind with a bit of snake smell roared out of the cave, giving it a mythical feeling.
In just a moment, there was a splash of water from the cave, and then with a sudden sound of water waves lapping the shore, a huge black and white python jumped out of the cave wrapped in a gust of wind and rain. The stone surface crackled as it was struck.
What jumped out of the hole was a large python with white flowers on a black background. Its belly was yellow and white. Its head was as wide as two palms. The thinnest snake’s neck was as thick as its mouth. The snake’s body and waist were An adult man is so thick, his waist is so thick that it almost fills the entrance of the cave.
The two eyes of the python are larger than dragon eyes, glowing green, and the snake letter, which is about three fingers wide, stretches out and spits out, and is at least two feet long. There is a fist-sized tumor on the top of the snake's head.
The giant python rushed out of the hole, and the water it rolled up splashed high and fell like a shower, making a crackling sound.
Whoosh, whoosh, the black and white python rushed out of the cave with a strong wind. It did not directly attack the intruder. Instead, it was as long as the wind, swung to the left, and stood in front of the Dragon Soul Grass. , first using its head as a shield to block the grass, and then its tail continued to roll outward from the cave.
In just the blink of an eye, the python coiled up in a circle. The snake's body was still moving out. The snake's head stood up about two meters high, bent down, and opened towards the strange intruder. A bloody mouthful.
Looking at the music at the entrance of the cave from a distance, the X-ray light in my eyes swept away, and I instantly got a perspective view, and a drop of cold sweat broke out in my heart, the python that has been there for more than four hundred years
< p>The sarcoma on the top of the python's head is not a pathological tumor, but contains a bead, which is the inner elixir obtained by the snake's cultivation. Moreover, there are also horns hidden in the sarcoma.A snake can transform into a dragon after five hundred years, and a dragon after a thousand years. The python that guards the Dragon Soul Grass has been practicing for hundreds of years and is already evolving towards the Jiao route. When the five hundred years are up and the disaster is over, it will Can take off snake skin and evolve into a dragon.
Recognizing the age of the python at a glance, Le Yun showed a bright and friendly smile to the python head that was curled up beside her and flying towards her, and greeted very friendly, "Brother Long, hello, don't get angry yet. , I’m not here to grab the Dragon Soul Grass, the weather is so beautiful, how about we sit down and talk”
The elders in the rural areas of the northern region often talk about some customs. They say that every time a monk reaches a certain age, the big snake will go out to "ask for omens", that is, to ask for good omens. If people see it on purpose, they will say "dragon" to people they meet. If it is a good omen, you will soon be able to practice successfully and attain the Tao. If you meet someone and say it is a "snake", then if you fail to seek the omen, you will have to go back and practice again.
The old people say that people who let big snakes bring good omens will be blessed and safe if they become snakes. If they don’t give good omens to snakes, they may get sick or have bad luck. This is also the same as "a good word" "Three winters are warm, bad words hurt people and nine months are cold" has almost the same meaning. Therefore, when old people in rural areas encounter a snake, they don't call it a snake, but call it a dragon. When they encounter a small snake, they often use the word "little dragon" instead.
When she was very young, Le Yun often listened to the miraculous legends and customs told by the old people, so she decisively followed the local customs, abided by the rules of her predecessors, and called the big boa "dragon" as she liked. ".
The black and white python is extremely fast. In an instant, its neck stretches out two to three meters. It is about two meters away from the human sitting cross-legged. When it hears the human voice, its head jumps forward quickly. He stopped suddenly, his bloody mouth hanging in the air, and the pink fleshy membrane in his mouth was clearly visible.
It swallowed the letter a few times, with its mouth still wide open. The snake's body crawled out of the cave piece by piece, and it coiled twice again, with the tail tip still in the cave.
"Brother Long, I really don't mean any harm. If I were a medicine thief and had taken the Dragon Soul Grass and ran away before you even left the cave, I wouldn't have waited until now. Brother Long, I have something to say. Let's sit down and talk."
The giant python, which has been practicing for hundreds of years, is spiritual and can understand its own words. Le Yun feels more at ease and ignores the bloody smell that can be smelled. He generously handed out the pills he was holding in his hand, "Brother Long, this is the elixir I made myself. It is also detoxifying. You can smell it. Although it is not as effective as the Dragon Soul Grass fruit, it is not too bad." It’s not that I know how to make medicine, so I don’t have to fight with you over a piece of fruit. Do you think this is right? It’s not easy for Brother Long to practice for more than 400 years. It’s less than 100 years before he can truly transform into a dragon. During this period, you are committing murder. "It won't do you any good, right? Sit down and talk. Brother Yu Long has no loss."
The black and white python "hissed" and spat out the letter twice, slowly opening its bloody mouth. When closed, the raised snake body coiled downwards, with its head still erect over one meter high, blocking the Dragon Soul Grass. The last snake tail was finally exposed, coiled up in circles, covering an area of several square meters, like A huge round wheel.
The giant python's head and body are coiled in the center, standing up like a cut wire plant. The scales on its body are closely overlapped like iron sheets, glowing with cold light. Its huge body is extremely scary.
The python coiled up and made no attack movements, but still guarded the Dragon Soul Grass vigilantly, which also indicated that it would start a fight at any time.
The giant python really sat down and talked in a friendly manner. Le Yun became more confident and threw out the pill in her hand. "Brother Long, this is a meeting gift from me. Try it. It's right." Are you helpful?"
A yellow-white crystal flew over., the giant python stretched its neck, rolled its red tongue around the pill, and swallowed the pill without even showing the movement of swallowing. It stretched its head forward again, getting closer to the human being. Also lowered the height slightly.
"Brother Long, if you don't mind, I'll give you this one too." The huge snake's head stretched out, Le Yun's eyebrows curved, and she threw out the remaining pills with a smile.
The giant python stretched its neck, wrapped the medicine particles with its tongue and swallowed it. Half of its head and body were on the ground, with its head raised, face to face with the human girl, about two meters away, and it went down again A little lower, the sitting postures of humans and snakes are about the same height.
Snakes and people will compete for height. Snakes compete for heights for survival, and people compete for heights for survival. When people meet snakes, if people are taller than snakes, then their luck will not fall. If they are defeated by snakes, , may bring bad luck.
The python raised its head before, but then lowered its body, indicating that it intended to talk to humans calmly, which is also the respect that spiritual animals show to each other.
Le Yun didn’t understand snake language, but she could guess that it didn’t want to fight. She sat more casually and chatted with a smile. “Brother Long, I know the importance of Dragon Soul Grass to you. You eat the flowers.” The wagashi is to purify the bloody smell on your body. You can eat Dragon Soul Grass before the day of dragon transformation to resist the thunder disaster. Dragon Soul Grass is yours to protect. It is yours. I am embarrassed to take it from you. , can you give me a seed and a few leaves, Brother Long, don’t be upset, please listen to me first.”
When chatting with the python, it listened quietly, and when he said When she asked for fruits and leaves, she immediately raised her head and spat out the message. Le Yun hurriedly discussed it with nice words, "Brother Long, according to the date, this year's fruits are the last fruits of the Dragon Soul Grass before you transform into a dragon. When you are five hundred years old, the Dragon Soul Grass only has flowers. On the day you transform into a dragon, you have to eat the Dragon Soul Grass. If you eat the Dragon Soul Grass, no new Dragon Soul Grass will grow here. From now on, the Dragon Soul Grass will It may become extinct.
God has the virtue of good life, and practice pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect. Brother Long, if you use the Dragon Soul Grass to survive the tribulation, you must leave it to me. Will you give me this year’s fruit? It is also a meritorious thing to use it as seeds. Whether the fruit will germinate or not depends on fate. I want a few leaves to make elixirs to save people. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Give me a few leaves. You also have merit, and you will be blessed with merit on the day you transform into a dragon, making it easier to survive the catastrophe."
The little girl was reasoning with Bala Bala, but the black and white python was originally a little restless. He was calm again, with his head propped up and listening to human reasoning, his tongue extending and retracting, as if he was deep in thought.
The big python didn't riot, which meant it was being reasonable. Le Yun didn't rush it and let it think slowly. She looked at it face to face with a smile on its face.
The giant python stuck out its tongue and stood quietly for a while, then turned its head to look at the green grass, opened its green eyes and thought for a while, then retracted its head and returned to the place where its body was coiled. place, with his head resting on his body, lying lazily in a ball.
"Brother Long, do you agree?" Le Yun suddenly became happy, her eyes brightening, "Brother Long,I won't break your Dragon Soul Grass leaves in vain. I also have a few pills and give them to you as compensation for your loss. "
I was in a good mood, and of course not afraid. I took out the pill bag from my pocket, opened it, poured out the remaining eight pills and put them in the palm of my hand, got up and gave them to the big snake.< /p>
Human beings are familiar with it, the giant snake's head is slightly raised, and it does not show any fierceness.
Le Yun has always been a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and the super plug-in in space is even more confident. Seeing that the big python was docile and well-behaved, he spread his legs and rushed towards it. He ran to a place about a foot away from the big python without any fear, sat down on his butt, stretched out his hand holding the pills, and gave the pills to the talkative big python. Dragon.
Humans brought fragrant elixirs, and the big black and white snakes refused to accept them. They stretched out their red tongues and swept away three or four pills. They swept them away again and held them in the palm of human hands. He swallowed all the small particles, put his huge head on his head, and leaned on his thick body to enjoy the clear breeze.
"Brother Long, the fruits of the Dragon Soul Grass will not mature for another two days. You need to wait. I am also idle. The aura near your cave is very strong. It is a treasure land with many types of medicinal materials. I will pick some and take them back to make elixirs. You can bask in the sun slowly. I will come back in the evening. ”
After reaching an agreement with the python, Le Yun focused on the nearby medicinal materials. The place where the elixir grows must have spiritual energy, and the spiritual place will produce outstanding people. Of course, the place where the python can live well is There are many types of medicinal materials nearby in this treasure land.
In addition, due to its geographical location, there are no human footprints, so various plants grow freely, including rare medicinal materials and plants unique to Gaoligong. < /p>
Le Yun said hello to the python, jumped up and waved her little claws at it, jumped down the steps, and walked towards the forest along the ditch created by the running water.
Human beings. The girl was going to find medicinal materials, but the giant python was still lazily watching the humans leave. It stood up and looked down from a high position, watching the humans walk into the woods and lie down in a circle again.
It flowed out of the cave. Visual observation of the water flowing out shows that the water flow is very large during the high water season. Due to the strong water, a large ditch has been washed out. The ditch has been washed out into convex and concave shapes, with uneven sides. Some tree roots have also been washed out, and the water has penetrated through the roots. .
It is the dry season, and the water flows into a stream in the ditch.
Entering the woods, Le Yun threw the backpack back into the space and took out the hatchet to chop. Weeds, walked about three or four meters, cut down the spreading plants beside the ditch, and found the treasure they were looking for, a jade-like stone. That kind of stone has a nice name, Dulong Jade.
The stone was stuck in the ditch and looked like a piece of green ice dropped into the water.
When she looked at it from a distance, she could only see the aura looming in the woods. I wasn’t sure what it was, but I found out that it was jade when I found the target.
Dulong jade is produced deep in the mountains of a river in Gaoligong Mountain. The place where jade is produced is extremely remote, and there is no mass production so far. No scale.
Meeting a dragon is a blessing. What the ancients said is indeed true. Le Yunba Ya. These days, she has given up a lot of digging medicinal materials to collect rare medicinal herbs and sacrificed a lot. Unexpectedly, she not only found the Dragon Soul Grass, but also picked up the dragon soul grass. After finding the jade, it was prosperous
I felt happy, rolled up my sleeves happily, and fished out the jade from the water. It weighed about three or four kilograms. The texture of the stone was very similar to the ice jadeite, and the color was It has a slight gray tone and does not have the crystal clear luster of jadeite. Even if it is not as transparent as jadeite, it is still a jade with spiritual energy. If you get an unexpected fortune, you can quickly throw it back into space.
Finding Dulong Jade also confirmed her suspicion that there was treasure hidden in the cave. The treasure is the Dulong jade deposit.
When she was observing the terrain, she saw the aura and brilliance in the cave. She knew there was treasure inside but never thought of killing the snake to get the treasure. Her grandparents taught back then that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and people should be kind, right? She did not force herself, and the boa constrictor discovered the treasured land first and occupied it as a cave. It was against her moral conscience and the principle of being kind to others to seize other people's territory.
The jade that rushed out of the cave was an ownerless thing. If she picked it up, it would be hers, so there was no psychological burden at all.
After picking up the first piece of jade, I was full of expectations for the next trip. I twisted up the hatchet and set off to find the treasure.
