Arriving at the door of Jingshu Pavilion, Zhang Yintao said: "Little friend Lin Yu, just go in by yourself. All the ancient books on geography are over there on the first floor!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu asked doubtfully: "Does Master Zhang believe in me so much?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yintao smiled and said, "Little friend Lin Yu's character is enough for me to trust!"
After saying that, Zhang Yintao left, leaving Lin Yu alone.
Seeing this, Lin Yu stopped delaying and walked towards the Jingshu Pavilion.
All the books inside were placed on the shelves according to the five elements. Lin Yu also found the earth element and started reading them one by one.
Time passed little by little, late at night, Lin Yu finally found clues in a book "The Story of Ailao" written during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Kingdom of Hundred Pu recorded in the inheritance has a black-scaled king snake, and the Kingdom of Hundred Pu is also recorded in the "Ailao Biography".
The Kingdom of Hundred Pus is the ancient name of what is now southern Yunnan.
After a brief thought, I found that the geographical environment of southern Yunnan is really suitable for the black-scaled king snake to survive.
Menglu.
After determining the place, Lin Yu placed all the books he had read in their original positions, and then left the Scripture Pavilion.
Arriving at the main hall, Lin Yu happened to bump into Zhang Yintao.
I saw Zhang Yintao holding a quilt in his hand, walking towards the direction of the Scripture Pavilion, obviously taking it to Lin Yu.
"Is little friend Lin Yu leaving now?" Zhang Yintao asked doubtfully.
Lin Yu nodded and immediately replied: "Yes, thank you Zhang Tianshi for your concern. I have found the information I want to check, and I need to rush there now!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yintao thought for a moment and then said: "Then do you want me to send you off? The way down the mountain is a bit difficult!"
After waving his hand, Lin Yu thanked him and then walked out of the mountain gate.
After climbing up the stairs, Lin Yu turned on the perspective and rushed down.
It took Lin Yu nearly an hour and a half to go up the mountain, but it only took Lin Yu an hour to go down. This was because the ramp was made of wood, and Lin Yu was afraid it would collapse too quickly.
After getting in the car, Lin Yu turned on his mobile phone and sent a message to Su Qingxue to report the itinerary and then navigated to southern Yunnan.
...
At noon the next day, Lin Yu finally arrived in southern Yunnan. It took Lin Yu thirteen hours. This was the result of Lin Yu not caring about speeding on the highway.
Immediately, Lin Yu bought some specialties from southern Yunnan on the roadside and ate them while eating.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult, and it took Lin Yu two hours to get to Mengli.
Finally arriving at the place, Lin Yu saw a little boy wearing ethnic minority clothes walking over as soon as he got out of the car.
"Brother, buy some fruit!"
For a while, Lin Yu didn't understand what the little boy said. It wasn't until the little boy spoke again in standard Mandarin that Lin Yu understood.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yu also paid for some fruit, and then asked: "Little brother, do you know where there are snakes for sale here?"
Hearing this, the little boy thought for a moment and then said: "Flower and Bird Market!"
"But they are all breeding snakes for sale over there, and they don't look good!"
"If you want to buy a poisonous snake, I can take you there!"
"but..."
The little boy did not continue speaking, but he already made a gesture asking for money.
Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled, knowing how to do business at such a young age, and then took out a red note worth one hundred from his wallet and handed it over.
After taking the money, the little boy quickly thanked Lin Yu and then led Lin Yu in a certain direction.
Soon, Lin Yu was taken to a village by the little boy.
"Abba, Abba!"
"I'll bring you a piece of business!"
Lin Yu was surprised when he heard this.
After a while, a man wearing a turban came out.
"Abba, this brother wants to buy a snake!"
...
While Lin Yu and the man were chatting, Lin Yu also learned that the man turned out to be the snake catcher in this area, Yan Hai.
It turns out that there are snake catchers in many ethnic minority villages in Mengli.
Because these villages are located in remote mountains and forests, the roads Lin Yu took to get here were all dirt roads.
Venomous snakes often appear, so every village has a professional snake catcher. Firstly, for the safety of the people in the village, and secondly, if you catch some venomous snakes, send them to the research institute or sell them to others to make a profit.
The people in Guzhai were really easy to get along with, and they didn't have much to worry about. After chatting for a long time, the relationship with Lin Yu became very close, and they even joked that they wanted to betroth their daughter to Lin Yu.
"Lin Yu, what kind of snake are you planning to buy?"
"I'll see if other snake catchers have it. If so, I'll contact them for you!" Yanhai asked.
"Is there a black-scaled king snake?" Lin Yu replied.
?
I saw Yanhai showing a puzzled expression. He had never heard of this black-scaled king snake.
"I've never heard the name of this snake. How about you describe it?"
After hearing this, Lin Yu also described the appearance of the black-scaled king snake recorded in the record to Yan Hai in as much detail as possible.
After hearing Lin Yu's description, Yan Hai was stunned.
After a while, Yan Hai came back to his senses and said immediately: "You are talking about the Black Emperor!"
"Black Emperor?" Lin Yu repeated doubtfully.
Yan Hai nodded immediately, "Yes, Black Emperor!"
"According to your description, only the Black Emperor fits the description!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu said happily: "Brother Yan, where is the Black Emperor you mentioned?"
Suddenly, Yan Hai started to hesitate.
Under Lin Yu's repeated questioning, Yan Hai finally said: "Hei Huang is in Heiyun Village!"
"If it is really the Black Emperor, then you may not even think about it!"
"The Black Emperor is the guardian of Heiyun Village. If you want to touch the Black Emperor, you will be the enemy of all the tribesmen in Heiyun Village!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu was also stunned.
Then Yan Hai told Lin Yu the legend of the Black Emperor.
After hearing this, Lin Yu also suddenly realized, no wonder Yanhai would say that if he wanted the Black Emperor, he would become the enemy of the Black Cloud Village.
Just like the Hui people who do not eat pork, myths and legends say that Heiyun Village was saved by a black emperor snake when it was facing annihilation.
And the Black Emperor Snake died not long after saving the people of Heiyun Village.
Then Lin Yu also frowned. If he really said this, it would be really difficult.
