At this moment, although the rain has stopped and the moon has emerged, it will take at least a day to find the little white snake in an unfamiliar environment.
For Gu Xia, there were only one or two hours left.
I nodded decisively and said, "Qing Ling, could you please lead the way?"
Qing Ling walked in front.
I gritted my teeth, carried Gu Xia on my back, and followed her with difficulty.
A winding road stretches towards Dushan Mountain.
Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, grass has already grown on the road, and there is a fragrant fragrance in the air.
Many wild flowers are blooming in the spring breeze.
For a moment, I was a little confused.
It is said that Poison Mountain is infested with poisonous insects and poisonous weeds everywhere, making it extremely dangerous.
However, there is no such horror as in the legend.
Soon, an abandoned and dilapidated village appeared halfway up Dushan Mountain.
Many courtyard walls collapsed.
The walls are covered with thatch.
It was pitch black, there was no sound at all, and it was extremely desolate.
"Why is there an abandoned village?"
I asked in surprise.
Poison Mountain is the haunt of Xiangxi Corpse King, so it is unexpected that there is an abandoned village.
I quickly recalled that among the villages in Miao territory, there were thirteen in the big village and more than sixty in the small village.
None of them are on Poison Mountain.
It's like this village doesn't exist.
Are the people here dead, or have they gone somewhere?
Qing Ling's eyes were a little dazed and she said, "I don't remember."
"When Gu Xia recovers, maybe she can unlock the characters on you. Then the truth will be revealed."
I thought about it and said.
"hope so!"
Qing Ling said quietly, not having much hope.
"Want to enter the village?" I asked.
"No, we don't keep snakes in the village."
Qing Ling said.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if I entered the village.
Before entering the village, I must make it clear that although I have brought the poisonous insects with me, I am here for self-defense and not for provocation to fight against the poisonous insects.
Although this village is deserted, there may still be poisonous insects inside.
From the west side of the village, there is a path going up.
About a quarter of an hour later, a dilapidated ancient temple appeared in front of me.
The main structure of the ancient temple is made of stone and has not completely collapsed.
The doors and windows are all normal, and the sun can shine during the day.
This shows that this is not Xishen Inn.
"Behind this ruined temple is a shady place... there should be a little white snake."
Qing Ling said in an uncertain tone.
"Then let's go to the back and take a look."
I said.
We walked through the temple gate and a stone tablet appeared in front of us.
It clearly says "Temple of the Corpse King".
I was immediately stunned.
The Corpse King is a rumored terrifying character who catches children to raise poison and drinks human blood. Why would a temple be built for him?
It took a while to react.
Maybe the people who lived here in the past were afraid of the Corpse King, so in order to please the Corpse King, they built a temple for him.
Throughout the land of China, there are many temples specially prepared for evil gods.
Qing Ling looked at the stone tablet and remained motionless.
"Qing Ling, did you remember anything?"
I asked.
Qing Ling came back to her senses and said, "I just feel familiar."
Exiting from the back door of Corpse King Miao, there is an open space, and beyond that is the hillside.
A green bamboo forest swayed with the night wind.
I put the Guxia aside, put on my snakeskin gloves, and took out the spices I had prepared in advance.
I asked the black dog to back away and not run over to catch the snake.
The small white snake, belonging to the cobra family, is very venomous.
I cut a meter long bamboo stick and made preparations.
I sprinkled the spices on the ground.
Soon, there was movement under the grass on the ground and in the bamboo forest.
Rustling.
Listening to the sound, I felt something was wrong.
There are at least a thousand snakes.
In the natural environment, the distribution of snakes is relatively scattered.
Thousands of snakes came directly.
It's very possible that someone keeps snakes around here.
"Qing Ling, does anyone keep snakes here?"
I asked quickly.
"I don't know. I just remember that there are snakes here. Maybe there is a snake cave nearby."
Qing Ling said.
In the blink of an eye, snakes swarmed over.
Half of them are the highly poisonous bamboo leaf green. This poisonous snake is green all over and is hidden in the bamboo forest, making it difficult to find.
In addition, there are bungaras and highly venomous vipers.
There are also some very poisonous red snakes.
and the non-venomous green wool snake.
Various varieties.
I just felt my scalp was numb and my hair stood on end.
However, this is the critical moment.
I could only step forward and use bamboo sticks to drive away the incoming snakes.
Finally, I found several small white snakes inside.
I didn't dare to be careless, so I walked carefully and used bamboo sticks to drive away a few bungara snakes.
I quickly took action and caught a small white snake.
I backed away quickly.
The whole process only took ten minutes, but my whole body was already covered in sweat.
Return to the Corpse King Temple.
I took the snake gall, mixed it with Xu Changqing, and put it into the earthen jar.
I got some bamboo and made a fire to steam it.
I slapped Gu Xia on the back hard.
Gu Xia screamed and spat out the ginseng slices in her mouth. She looked at me and couldn't even speak.
I pinched Gu Xia's mouth open hard and put a plum-sized snake gall into her mouth.
I said in a commanding tone: "Swallow it immediately. If you swallow it, you will live."
I gave him some more water.
Finally, Gu Xia swallowed the snake gall.
After a quarter of an hour, Gu Xia's body gradually gained temperature, and signs of life began to recover.
I was so relieved that I burst into tears with excitement.
It’s really not easy to get all the way to this point.
In this battle between me and Mayunfeng, I won by unlocking the poison of the silver snake poison on Gu Xia.
"Grandma, I won."
I said silently in my heart.
Gu Xia leaned against the pillar of the Corpse King Temple and fell into a deep sleep.
The black dog was also extremely tired and fell asleep beside the fire.
I glanced at Qing Ling from the corner of my eye. She was sitting on a stone, staring intently at the empty shrine.
I was thinking that when this temple was at its peak, there should be a statue of the Corpse King on the shrine.
Qing Ling suddenly turned around, looked at me, and asked: "Dongsheng, do you want to get the mysterious god Gu?"
She asked suddenly.
I was a little surprised, shook my head and said, "Guo Doudou is so confused. Who knows whether what he said is true or false."
"It's impossible for him to cultivate the Strange God Gu. But I believe that there must be a Strange God Gu in this poisonous mountain."
"Cunning God Gu is the king of Gus. If you get it, you can command all Gus. Do you want to get it? Answer me directly."
Qing Ling looked very serious.
"If 10,000 people want to get the Devious God Gu, I am the 10,001st. I don't want to get the Devious God Gu at all."
I said what was on my mind almost without thinking.
"Why? The strange god Gu is much more powerful than the golden silkworms you raise and the natal Gu. With it, it is easy for you to avenge your mother? Could it be that you are just pretending not to want it, but in fact, in your heart, you are more powerful than anyone else.
I want it all.”
Qing Ling said again, her eyes shot out green light, staring into my eyes.
