Chapter 45: See the Snake King in the Valley

Xiangyang was called Xiangjun and Xiangzhou in ancient times.

It is the capital of Xiangyang Prefecture, Huguang Province.

Huang Lin held his mount with his hands and rushed towards the city gate with the flow of people.

I looked up at the weather-beaten city wall in front of me. I was quite old, but I wonder if this was the one guarded by Guo Daxia back then.

At this time, nearly half a month had passed since he opened the tenth article. In fact, he wanted to come to Xiangyang early in the morning, but he could not withstand Chongxu's affection and kept it. The Taoist scriptures hidden in Wudang were also quite attractive, so he stayed for a few more days.

I went to the city to find out where there was an inn, and then got on my horse and walked over slowly.

"Can you recognize this thing?"

Huang Lin called the shopkeeper to the compartment, took a token, and threw it to him to see.

"But the boss is in front of you?"

The shopkeeper looked about forty or fifty years, returned the token with both hands, and asked.

"Someone's surname is Huang, the shopkeeper's surname is his?"

"Yeah, I can't use the word "priced". The little surname is Zhang. Just call Lao Zhang, Young Master Huang."

"Well, Zhang Manager Zhang, is it a local person?"

Huang Lin didn't talk much, and asked about the serious matters directly. He had been out for half a year and was about to have a destination, so he was a little anxious.

"When the young hero comes, I have lived here for generations. I wonder what the young hero asks?"

"Do you know how many years have this Xiangyang City been?"

"You are asking the right people. Most people really don't know that our Xiangyang City has been around since the Han Dynasty and has never moved. This dynasty has expanded at the beginning, and it was originally not by the river."

Speaking of this, Manager Hu’s face is very lustful.

Huang Lin immediately knew that he had touched the wrong place and continued to ask:

"Have you ever heard that there is no strange snake near Xiangyang City. Its whole body is golden and its head is different from ordinary snakes."

"I have never heard of such a strange snake in so many years that it disappointed the young man."

Manager Zhang pondered for a while, and finally shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

"Okay, arrange a small courtyard for Huang, so don't let idle people disturb you."

It seems that you have to search around.

In the next month, Huang Lin went out early and returned late every day, and occasionally stayed in the wild.

That night, he settled in a valley southeast of Xiangyang, set up a bonfire, spread out a simple homemade map to check it out carefully.

The Han River in the north of Xiangyang City was attached. When Yang Guo broke his arm and ran around, he probably couldn't run far. But he had gone through the entire sector from west to south in the past month, and he ran to Longzhong at the farthest.

None of them have any similarities.

Could it be that hundreds of years of changes have been gone?

I looked at the map again and there was only this small piece east of Xiangyang. On the map, it looked like this piece was a bulge surrounded by Han River.

"I'll search this area within ten days, and forget it if I can't find it. I'll just go to visit the major sects and then go to the capital to take a look."

After making the decision, Huang Lin sat cross-legged on the big tree and placed Chihuang in a place where he could hold it.

In the middle of the night, the bonfire was gradually declining, and the valley became more and more quiet, leaving only the occasional burst sound of the bonfire.

In the shadow of the big branches, something seemed to be slowly squirming quietly.

Huang Lin under the tree was unaware of it.

The wriggling figure slowly emerged from the shadow, and it turned out to be a long snake as thick as three fingers.

The snake kept spitting out a letter, climbed from the darkness to the tree pole with a little light, and then climbed downward, the direction was where Huang Lin meditated.

Huang Lin seemed to be aware of something, frowned, opened his eyes and glanced left and right, and the snake stopped.

Huang Lin, who had not found the problem, tilted the fire and added some dry firewood before closing his eyes again, but he did not carry the internal interest.

After a while, the snake began to wriggle down the tree pole again. With the gradually rising fire light, it was discovered that the snake's body was red and yellow, with golden light appearing, and its head was slightly raised, like a horny bag.

It turned out to be the Pusi Qu snake that Huang Lin was thinking about!

But he didn't notice it.

Nearly three feet, most of the Bosi Qu snake was hanging in the air, with only a small part still hanging on the tree stalk. Then the snake's head stretched up and narrowed backwards to accumulate momentum, opened its mouth and pounced on Huang Lin's neck, with its fangs visible.

Almost at the same time, Huang Lin slapped his right hand on the ground, and his whole body floated up and moved half a foot away with his legs crossed.

"Chorus~"

The man stretched his knees to the ground in the air, drew his sword and looked back.

Seeing the snake's appearance, Huang Lin's eyes showed surprise. He immediately stepped forward and slashed his head away from the ground, struggling on the ground.

Huang Lin seemed to remember something, and swung it casually, Chihuang shot out and nailed the snake's head to the ground.

He picked up the snake's body that was still struggling, and looked at the snake's head that was nailed to the ground.

It's true!

"Tsk tsk, this snake is really a different species, and ordinary medicine powder doesn't work."

Looking at the snake body in his hand, Huang Lin murmured to himself.

When he was resting in the wild, he would sprinkle a circle of medicine around him to prevent mosquitoes, snakes and ants. This time it failed, which shows that this snake is indeed not ordinary.

Seeing that the snake's head was not moving, he drew his sword and pushed it away, took out the snake gall and rinsed it with clean water.

After frowning and looking around for a long time, he still couldn't bear to waste it. He swallowed it with a bitter face and closed his eyes, and quickly drank water and smoothly.

Fortunately, it’s not bitter, but I feel disgusted psychologically.

He had no intention of meditating now, and he treated the snake body and then roasted it on the fire.

While baking, I waited for my whole body to get hot.

Then, the snake meat was roasted and eaten into the stomach, and the body was slightly hot.

"."

I'm afraid this is not the effect of snake gall?

He thought about it all the night after a long time. He didn't wait until dawn to see the effect of the snake gall.

I looked down at the snake skin, which was shining golden in the sun, that's right!

I shook my head and guessed that I might not eat enough, or that the effect has decreased after hundreds of years of change?

Since I was touching the ground, I looked here carefully.

After a day, he found several caves, but none of them seemed to have lived in people, and he didn't see those lines. He changed his target and wanted to find the waterfall where Yang Guo practiced, but it was fruitless.

However, the Pusiqu snakes found many, the big ones were like the one last night, three fingers thick, and the small one was thick.

I grabbed the big one and put it on the small ones. I ate more than ten snake gallbladders in one day, and I felt a little overwhelmed.

In the evening, Huang Lin set up a bonfire in a cave found during the day. The cave was not deep, so it was just an exit.

Some warning items were arranged at the entrance of the cave, and a few snakes were roasted to eat them, so they were carried cross-legged.

Only then did he realize that today's internal interest is not only gathering a lot, but also extremely expensive.

This snake gallbladder does not directly increase internal strength? It is like the genius treasure mentioned by Master Liu back then, containing a lot of spiritual energy? (Chapter 7)

Sent!!

This was Huang Lin’s first reaction after dawn.

From the You hour yesterday evening to the present time of Mao hour, for nearly eight hours, he has been transporting for a night of rest for not stopping for a moment, but now he is not at all uncomfortable. If he wants to change his past, he may have signs of the decline of essence and blood.

Although I was a little mentally depressed, that was because I didn’t have a good rest for two nights. After all, meditation cannot replace sleep.

If you stock up on this, you can't eat it every day, and you won't be able to ascend to the spot?

Huang Lin's saliva was almost flowing out.

In the next few days, he searched for the legendary "Sword Tomb" during the day, ate some snake gallbladder, and practiced his internal skills in the cave at night.

The increase in internal strength can be seen by the naked eye, which is caused by darker and darker eyes.

Too excited, I can't sleep.

Now that I have no disgust when eating snake gallbladder, I feel a little bit like vomiting when I see snake meat.

So I made a pheasant to change my taste. The beggar chicken failed at that time. Later, I slowly figured out the method. As for whether it was authentic or not, I don’t know.

Pick the hair and wash it, process the internal organs, apply a layer of honey on the surface, and stuff some seasonings into it.

I found lotus leaves and wrapped them in two layers on the chicken body, and then pasted the stirred yellow mud outside.

Finally, I buried it underground, built a bonfire on it, and got it done, waiting for food!

Waiting bored, this place is not a cave, and he doesn't rush into meditation.

Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of branches breaking faintly came from the distance ahead.

Is someone here?

After adjusting Chihuang to a convenient seat, Huang Lin pulled out the fire with the branches while waiting for someone to come.

The sound was getting closer, but no one was seen.

An animal?

He dropped the branches, picked up the Chihuang and was about to get up. Halfway through, he saw something suddenly popping out of the bushes in front and heading straight towards Huang Lin.
