Wanshe Mountain has a radius of more than 300 miles, with more than 20 peaks in a row. Hundreds of beasts live in the outer mountains, and thousands of snakes linger in the inner mountains. There are countless venomous snakes and pythons in it. For more than a hundred years, greedy snake catchers have lost their way in the mountains and forests and never walked back.
Not going out.
Wanshe Mountain, a dangerous and dangerous place, is also famous in several states of Jin Dynasty, and most of the people at the foot of the mountain believe in Liu Xian.
In the 200th year of the Holy Emperor's calendar, the Northern Barbarians moved south, and 300,000 elite soldiers swept through thousands of armies. They won eight out of ten battles, drew one, and lost one. Beizhou fell, and Jinjing was in danger!
In the same year, the Yue Kingdom entered the east and sent a large number of troops to attack the Mingzhou border in an attempt to regain their homeland a hundred years ago.
But a hundred years have been too long, and no one in Mingzhou and Yinzhou can claim to be the Yue Kingdom anymore. Moreover, the Jin Dynasty has a strong military, advanced weapons, strange and changeable military formations, and extremely strong fortresses and border defenses. The Yue Kingdom has an army of 200,000 at one time.
Just lingering at the border.
The Holy Emperor, who had lived for two hundred years, once again encountered resistance from his expansion of territory. He was concerned about the dawn of the world and even wanted to conquer the country in person. However, he finally gave up after three days and three nights when all the ministers knelt in front of the temple.
Got the idea.
War is raging in the world, and naturally families are broken up and people are killed, and there are also people who take advantage of the situation and rise up.
The commander-in-chief of the Northern Qi Army, Liang Jin, was a young hero who was only eighteen years old. He led his army to defeat the elite troops of the Northern Barbarians and gave the capital a breathing space.
The Northern Qi Army was also the only army to defeat the Northern Barbarians since the war began.
The Holy Emperor personally granted him the title of General Huaihua. He increased his army by 180,000 people and provided countless supplies of food and fodder. He guarded the last palace in Beizhou and defended Jinjing.
The ten states of the Jin Dynasty mobilized troops and horses, seven states went north, and three states went west. The battle situation was dispatched as fast as wind and thunder, like a huge war machine. Officials and even priests were responsible for the dispatch of government orders, food and grass coordination, war exploration, and tactical battles.
.
Under the rule of this wise and powerful Holy Emperor, the Jin Dynasty had lived and worked in peace and contentment for two hundred years and accumulated a huge foundation. Once it could not seize the Jin capital with lightning speed, it would have to be dragged into a stalemate.
For a time, the war continued and the world was in turmoil.
In Wanshe Mountain and Snake King Valley, the towering branches of willow trees hang down into the pond. Under the pond, small fish sway under the roots of aquatic plants. Occasionally, one or two dragonflies stir in the pond water.
The ripples of the pool spread across the surface of the water, becoming wider and wider. A huge snake head suddenly poked out from under the pool, startling the fish at the bottom, and the dragonfly standing on the sharp corner also fluttered its wings and fled quickly.
Bai Yan glanced at the water in the pool and wondered. It seemed that the water level in the pool had dropped a bit over the years.
But I didn’t think much about it. The depths of the pool are connected to the underground river. Maybe it’s the dry season before the rainy season. It’s normal for the water level to drop.
Logically speaking, the creatures in the mountains should be afraid of the demonic energy and migrate away early. However, the creatures in the Snake King Valley seem to have become accustomed to the scent of the two green and white snakes over the past hundred years and are not afraid of migration.
Except for the mice and frogs in the valley, there are no more mice.
He raised his head and saw the small half of his tail exposed outside a cave, and knew that Qing Cang was still sleeping in.
He ignored it. It was already noon, and it was the time when the monsters retreated.
The snake's head was raised slightly, and its tail was swinging slowly. The midday sun reflected dazzling light on the white snake, and a person walked out of the clear light.
That's right, a figure walked out of the pool and stepped on the pebbles smoothed by the water, making a clicking sound.
This man walked up to the pool, and the sun illuminated his straight nose, red lips, horizontal eyebrows, and wide-open eyes, but his vertical pupils were flat and a bit enchanting. He was wearing a light blue and elegant shirt with a willow hairpin and a blue silk tie.
, tied up with long hair, holding a jade bottle, walking towards the canyon and the line of sky.
At the last moment when he walked into the shadow, the sun shone on this human being, but the shadow on the ground was a curved shadow. The shadow looked like a snake!
Bai Jun walked through the world, holding a foot-long jade vase in his hand. This thing was a good thing that he got in a dream from a wealthy family down the mountain.
This bottle is made of glazed jade. It is not a jade naturally born from heaven and earth, but a kind of glazed. It is not stained, does not sink, can withstand ice and fire, and is not invaded by evil poisons.
What Bai Jun valued most was that it was impervious to evil and poison, because this glass jade bottle was used to contain snake venom.
There are 13 snake dens in Wanshe Mountain. There are nearly 100,000 snakes in the snake dens alone, and there are tens of thousands or more scattered and wandering outside. It is impossible to count.
As the king of snakes in this group of mountains, Bai Jun can have as much snake venom as he wants.
After practicing Apparition for more than twenty years, he finally gradually gained the essence of it. Now he looks like the appearance in his previous life, except that he has long hair behind him and a blue shirt and elegant belt. He is no longer a human being.
Although it is an illusion, it may be very convenient for him to transform his hands and feet.
Moreover, Bai Jun devoted himself to practicing the art of transfiguration and mastered the original meaning of the word "phantom". With one word of illusion, everything is false and true, and between a thousand lines, everything is empty.
Although it is not as superb as Hu Qiniang's, it is easy to fool some mortals and little monsters.
No matter what Hu Qiniang's cunning fox planned, Bai Jun told himself that he had to keep his composure and keep his mind, otherwise he would lose his position, and one wrong step would be like entering a thousand illusions, living like a dream, and dreaming for thousands of lives.
This is Bai Jun's tenth year of practicing the Ten Thousand Viper Poison Technique. Every day he will look for a kind of snake, and then collect enough venom from seven or forty-nine poisonous snakes of the same kind. Using himself as a vessel, he will combine his body and his poison into one. .
Even if he is a venomous snake, a snake king, or a snake monster, no one can be immune to all the poisons when thousands of kinds of poisons are mixed together and combined with their respective mutation components.
So naturally I will suffer some pain, but it is still within the tolerable range.
The kind of venomous snake Bai Jin is looking for today is the white-browed snake, which is a highly venomous snake. This kind of snake is highly venomous but moves slowly. Its body is mostly reddish brown or light brown, and most of them are only half a foot long.
This kind of snake is mostly found in hilly areas, or in rice fields, thatched houses, and grass cemeteries. It is a snake species that lives in close proximity to humans.
There were not many snakes in the nest. After draining them, Bai Jun went to the outer mountains to look for them.
…
In the outer mountains, two hunters, one large and one small, went into the mountains to hunt with bows and arrows, machetes, animal traps, dry food and other sundries.
"Dad, do you think the trap you set last time could catch something?" The fourteen- to fifteen-year-old boy was already a young quasi-hunter. He rubbed his belly, "I haven't eaten rabbit meat in a long time. .I really want to eat rabbit meat.”
The hunter, who was in his thirties, laughed and scolded: "You greedy guy, are you only thinking about rabbit meat?"
The young man wearing coarse animal skins and sewn clothes said with a smile: "The traps made by dad are so good, I can definitely catch something good. My mother said that dad, you are the best trap maker in the village. Maybe you can catch a big one this time." Tiger...uh huh"
"What are you talking about, you bastard!" The hunter quickly blocked his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense as soon as you enter the mountains! Have you forgotten everything dad taught you?"
The young man nodded and then let go of his mouth, "Okay, I remember dad,"
"Mao baby, you have to remember, there are rules in the mountains. We rely on the mountains to make a living, so we can't say a word that we can't say." The hunter took the trouble to emphasize again.
The father and son gradually walked deeper into the mountain forest and found several traps they had set last time, but unfortunately they found nothing.
Mao Wa frowned and said with a grimace, "Dad, why didn't you catch anything?"
The hunter sighed, "It seems that the Mountain King is in a bad mood."
"Is it because there are no wild things here? How about we go further in?" Mao Wa sighed: "Our family has been out of meat for almost a month, and my mother will not give birth until three months later.
All the eggs in the house have been eaten, and my mother has no energy to get out of bed to work."
The hunter felt quite guilty when he heard this. He was just a little worried about going too deep into the mountains, so he gave up. "Then let's walk further into the mountains. Even if you catch hares here, you may not be able to catch them. I remember four or five days."
I set a big trap with your uncle before, let's see if we caught anything good."
Mao Wa said excitedly: "Okay! Dad, let's go quickly!"
The two went deep into the forest. After walking for an hour, they took a rest and caught a small pheasant. They walked for another half an hour and stopped at the edge of a forest.
Mao Wa saw the trap hole that had been stepped on at a glance. She ran over excitedly and shouted, "Dad, let me go see what's there."
"Be careful, don't fall."
The hunter was also slightly happy in his heart and walked forward.
"Roar~"
A rough beast roar came, and Mao Wa was startled. The hunter hurriedly ran to the entrance of the cave, and when he looked down, he saw a large yellow leopard with yellow skin, and its front legs were clamped to death by the steel beast.
It was stuck, and I couldn't use any force at all. When I saw the two of them, I could only yell a warning.
The hunter said excitedly: "Mao baby, get up and shoot quickly. Get your bow and shoot it!"
After saying that, he stretched his bow and nocked an arrow and shot a hunting arrow that hit Baozi. The leopard immediately let out a miserable cry and stared at the hunter fiercely.
The hunter was about to shoot a second arrow when he suddenly heard Mao Wa exclaiming: "Dad! Daddy! There is a leopard behind you!"
He was so horrified that he took out the machete and slashed behind him without even thinking.
He felt a gust of fishy wind blowing towards him, and the hunter was knocked down by the strong force and almost fell into the pit. He turned up and saw that it was indeed a leopard, staring at him with a trace of drool.
Orion was very nervous, but he still felt frightened when facing the wild leopard.
"Roar~"
At this time, another yellow-skinned leopard ran out, but this leopard was much smaller, about the same size as a local dog at home, and was much less threatening.
But he rushed towards Mao Wa.
The hunter was shocked and shouted: "Run, Maoba, into the forest, grab the machete, don't...!"
Before he finished speaking, the adult wild leopard pounced on him. The hunter hurriedly defended him with a knife. Fortunately, he had some fists and feet, but his neck was scratched by the leopard.
On the other side, Mao Wa rushed into the jungle crazily. He just remembered his father's words and ran away with the machete. The little wild leopard quickly chased after him, surrounding Mao Wa looking for flaws.
Two young hunters were competing with the beast.
The little wild leopard finally lost his temper and pounced forward. Mao Wa slashed hard at the wild leopard with a machete. He was also knocked down by the leopard and bit his thigh.
Mao Wa screamed in pain, endured the severe pain in her legs and slashed hard at the wild leopard's neck, one knife after another, and finally killed the wild leopard.
And he was rolled down the slope by the wild leopard's counterattack. After a while, Mao Wa fainted.
The little wild leopard rolled aside and died without understanding why the method its mother taught it to bite the calf of the prey had no effect. Maybe it didn't know that hunting deer and attacking people are different.
Mao Wa woke up, and his lips were dry due to the harsh sun. He stood up with difficulty and found that his leg was lame, and his right leg was bitten to a bloody pulp.
He looked at the little leopard carcass and wanted to eat meat, barbecue...
But when he got closer, he found that there were several venomous snakes crawling on the leopard's body. The one with a triangular head looked very similar to the five-stepped snake that his father had mentioned.
Mao Wa was so frightened that he turned around and ran away lamely. He was lost. He didn't know how long he had been limping. He had tied up the wounds on his legs with cloth strips, and even picked up a few dead branches and tied them to
On the base of the leg.
Mao Wa found that the further he walked, the fewer animals he encountered, the quieter the forest, and the more snakes he encountered.
He raised his head and looked up, and suddenly he saw a figure. Mao Wa was overjoyed. It would be great if he met someone, so he could ask for directions and go down the mountain. He didn't know how his father was doing? It was a wild leopard, and his father would definitely kill it.
of!
But when Mao Wa finished thinking about it, when she went to look again, no one was there.
He remembered hurriedly walking up, but the slope in the forest was slippery and steep, and he suddenly fell down.
Mao Wa gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, climbed to a high slope and looked down, and saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
I saw a gentle riverside at the foot of the high slope. A tall and tall man in a green robe had his back to him. There was a jade vase on the ground in front of the man. He took off a bamboo flute from his waist, held it in front of his lips, and blew a burst of
Strange flute sound.
"Shashasha~"
"Shasha~"
"Hiss~"
"Hiss~"
Mao Wa felt the temperature around him suddenly drop. When he looked back, he saw long snakes crawling out of nowhere!
There were flowers-skinned ones, black-skinned ones, round-headed ones, and triangular-headed ones. All kinds of snakes crawled towards the man and formed a circular snake circle.
Thousands of snakes raised their heads and spit out snake messages. Maowa was so shocked that he couldn't even make a sound.
Then, he saw the man grab a brown snake from the snake group and hold it in his palm. The head of the venomous snake actually touched the forehead of the man in green robe. Then the venomous snake was put back on the ground, and it
He raised his head to the mouth of the jade bottle, revealing two fangs dripping with venom drop by drop.
Then, the man in green robe picked up the bamboo flute and lit the heads of the snakes among the snakes. The snakes that were lit would bite the jade bottle and drip venom.
Drop after drop of venom fell, and soon the bottle was gradually filled
The man in green robe waved his sleeves, and the snakes dispersed as if they had received the order.
He picked up the jade bottle, raised the bottle high and looked up at the liquid in the bottle. Under the sunlight, the glazed jade-colored bottle seemed to be filled with nectar and jade liquid, shimmering.
Mao Wa's eyes were stung by the sunlight reflected from the jade-colored glass bottle. He rubbed his eyes and then opened them. He saw an enlarged human face suddenly appeared in front of him, with a pair of golden vertical pupils as if
The eyes of a snake are strangely glowing, reflecting themselves.
"Ah~"
Mao Wa screamed in horror, and was so frightened that she fell to the ground, supported her body with her hands, and stepped back. It turned out that the man in green robe came to him in an instant and approached Mao Wa to take a look.
He was so frightened that he quickly covered his eyes and turned away, crying: "Don't come here! Don't come here!"
After shouting twice and finding nothing unusual, he tremblingly exposed a gap in the hand covering his eyes. The man in green robe in his field of vision was standing at the foot of the hillside with his back to him. The sunlight fell through the leaves of the forest, as if there was a layer of
Light fog rises.
Mao Wa saw the man in green robe walking towards the light mist and disappeared in the blink of an eye. However, at the last moment of disappearing, Mao Wa saw a white snake tail.
He had forgotten even the pain, and stared at the deserted forest with wide eyes, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.
Mao Wa shook her head to wake up. Is it an illusion?
From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a bamboo flute falling on the ground. A leaf gently floated down and landed next to the bamboo flute.
