Chapter 424 I’m finally back
Under the city of Bashu County, several riders rushed out of the city gate in the heavy rain.
The county guard Wen Weng held a torch and led the way at the front.
A slight mana filled the palm of his hand. The wind could not blow out the torch, and the rain did not hit the torch.
The light of the flames illuminated the surrounding area for tens of meters, and also illuminated the faces showing different emotions.
Wen Weng's atmosphere was calm, Dong Zhongshu's eyes showed a little excitement, Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang were apprehensive, and Zhang Xuezhou was thoughtful.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't understand why he couldn't go to Chang'an City. Dong Zhongshu's secretive way of talking made him a little confused.
But Zhang Xuezhou is not impatient.
For him, as long as he follows Dong Zhongshu, he will get the information he wants sooner or later.
He was calculating the time when he might return, and thinking about the mission of His Majesty.
After walking out of the secret place, Zhang Xuezhou was obviously as high as the sky as a bird can fly. He had just mastered the nine evasive techniques. He didn't care where he lay or whether he would be hungry for a day or two.
As long as it is not in a special dangerous area, it is relatively safe for Zhang Xuezhou.
If things don’t work out, there is Dong Zhongshu, a person whom I have met several times, who can help clean up the situation.
He and Dong Zhongshu only had one trip to Lingnan, but the person who knew Zhang Xuezhou the most during his trip to Lingnan was Dong Zhongshu.
This is a man who used his magic weapon to make amends after destroying the spiritual jade with a spell. Not to mention his noble character, Dong Zhongshu is indeed the most kind person among the monks Zhang Xuezhou has seen since his debut. He is even a little kind. Pedantic.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't know whether Dong Zhongshu was relieved when he was dating him, but he was obviously very relieved about Dong Zhongshu.
Accordingly, he did believe what Dong Zhongshu said, but Zhang Xuezhou could not understand the reason.
He followed behind, following the crowd calmly as he galloped.
The wind and waves had less impact on Zhang Xuezhou, while the rainwater splashed on the raincoat like water.
“Dharma can be gathered together or loosened...”
Running ahead, Dong Zhongshu's voice came. Zhang Xuezhou was stunned for a moment and listened attentively.
What the other party is talking about is not about magic, but about magic, which is the magic power in the body.
Zhang Xuezhou followed Dong Zhongshu's guidance and used his strength for a while, and saw the rainwater splashing on his body as if it had bounced off the lotus leaf, and then bounced out again in an instant.
This way of using magic power is undoubtedly a little trick in life. It is difficult for Wenwen to be invulnerable in heavy rain, but it also avoids most of the rain.
Zhang Xuezhou shook Tianyi, and his body suddenly felt dry and comfortable.
"There's something wrong!"
As the horse galloped forward, Dong Zhongshu occasionally looked behind him.
He taught him a little magic trick that he used, and Zhang Xuezhou learned it very quickly.
But the two showed completely different effects.
Dong Zhongshu looked at himself washing his face with a faint glow of magic power emitting from his right hand, blocking the rain, and then looked at Zhang Xuezhou behind him who was riding his horse normally. He felt that he had a toothache.
If possible, he would also like to learn from Zhang Xuezhou this method of washing the whole body to avoid rain.
His spellcasting is only limited to his hands, and he needs to cover parts of his body with his hands, while Zhang Xuezhou casts spells all over his body.
Dong Zhongshu had a certain degree of pride in himself. With the help of the imperial court, he basically learned all the spells he could learn from the books collected by the imperial court, but there was no book that mentioned how to cast spells in this way.
Zhang Xuezhou's method of casting spells is very special and useless for most spells, but Dong Zhongshu likes this unusual ability.
He likes to be different.
Only by being different can he find more possibilities in the differences.
For a moment, he was a little happy to see his hunting spirit, but he felt that it had been declining for a while, and now he started to get lucky again.
But Dong Zhongshu suppressed this little thought in his heart for the time being. He looked at Wen Weng who was leading the way.
“Taiping Weir is sixty-three miles outside Shu County. It will take us about an hour to mount our horses at night!”
As if aware of Dong Zhongshu’s gaze, Wen Weng, who was running ahead, had responded.
"The Ba Snake likes to wander out of its nest in times of wind and rain to look for food. It may be farther away from us, or it may be closer. The time is difficult to determine, but as long as we smear pig blood on our mount, the Ba Snake will definitely come after us!"
You can reach a certain location more accurately at night, but finding a certain kind of creature in a certain place is a matter of luck.
When Wen Weng spoke, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
“I discovered the Naba snake causing trouble three years ago, and ordered nearby villagers to sacrifice slaughtered livestock. It has become accustomed to the smell of blood!” Wen Weng said.
"Zhong Wengguo is a wise man!" Dong Zhongshu said repeatedly.
"I was unable to restrain myself. I asked for help but did not respond. As a result, the disaster existed for several years and has been delayed until today. I am ashamed!"
Wen Weng looked ashamed, while Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but shake his head.
Not everyone in the court knows this information, but Wen Weng who has entered the realm of self-reliance cannot yet solve the problem. Few people in the same realm dare to take the initiative to take over things, and it is difficult for those who are ranked among the three nobles to travel thousands of miles. In addition to a big snake, as for the military commanders who have been fighting in the past few years, it is not something that Wen Weng can easily mobilize to eliminate the snake. Various reasons have delayed the Ba Snake matter until now.
And Wen Weng's strategy is also procrastination, using sacrificial animals to fill the opponent's stomach and prevent the opponent from wreaking havoc on the villagers.
This has even developed a certain dependence on the food habits of the snake.
For a while, both of them had their own thoughts.
When Dong Zhongshu focused on the distance that was still more than thirty miles away, he couldn't help but turn his attention to Zhang Xuezhou again.
Weng Weng patted the pig blood clot hanging on his mount and squeezed the softness of the pig blood. He felt that Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang were doing things very safely.
Pig blood will coagulate if left for a long time, but if it is in the center, the pig blood will still not be formed and still maintain the form of plasma.
This is something that the Sheriff's Mansion prepares all the year round. When it's over night, it's used for cooking, and the pig blood is purchased again the next day for storage. Frequent preparation may not necessarily come in handy, but when the opportunity arises, it's obvious that you can seize it.
The pig blood cut by Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang was just right and most of the plasma was retained.
Weng Weng’s hands were stained with sticky and smelly plasma after just a slight pinch.
He wiped his hands on the horse's back, and the horse's thighs tightened and he felt restless.
"Horse, horse, I can't bear to use you as bait, but the wind and rain can't control my mood. If it rains at noon, I can't move it until noon. How can I have time in the middle of the night? Let me find a pig to bleed, and I can only use you to make up for it..."
Weng Weng wiped the pig's blood on the horse's back. He originally thought that the horse was uneasy after smelling the smell of blood, but he soon noticed something unusual.
A fishy smell came from the wind and rain, and his scalp suddenly became numb.
“The Naba snake seems to be near us!”
Compared with the area that occupied Taipingyan in the past, the Naba snake at this time has wandered a very long distance.
“It seems to be very hungry. Its foraging range has been far beyond the usual range. Its destination is probably Shu County!”
Wen Weng shouted, causing everyone to be on alert.
When the flame on his torch suddenly burned, he felt two red lights coming from hundreds of meters away.
The dark and deep red light hung high like a big red lantern, and Weng Weng could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
He is very familiar with the terrain and knows that the front is flat, and the two red lights are nearly ten feet high from the ground.
Sixty feet long is already considered a giant python. If it were to be ten feet high from the ground, the opponent's body would be at least ten feet longer.
Just thinking about the speed of growth of this subspecies of Ba snake, Wen Weng couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
This is far beyond what the fishing net can tie up, and it directly breaks half of his previous plan.
But just thinking about the damage and casualties that might be caused by the Ba Snake rushing into Shu County, Wen Weng felt that there was no way out.
"The strong wind breaks the rain, it will be fixed!"
He shouted loudly, and when he galloped closer, a seal immediately broke through the rain curtain and fell towards the red light.
A long ruler was quickly put into the palm of his hand.
“Bah!”
Behind Wen Weng, Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang drew their bows.
When the two men shouted, the sharp arrows also shot in the direction of the red light.
But as the horses approached and the fire illuminated Ba Snake's body, Zhang Shu and Zhao Liang's expressions changed drastically.
It was obvious that this 'Ba Snake' was far beyond the one they had seen before.
The opponent's erect body is taller than the city tower, the body is as thick as a city gate, and the head is as big as a bucket.
Scale armor as big as a shield covers the snake's body, making it difficult for people to cut it with a sword.
This is a ferocious beast that is far beyond what ordinary humans can contend with.
“It ate people!”
When Zhang Shu looked at the giant snake's abdomen, he saw that the abdomen was bulging and swollen. The constant squirming made the abdomen show some characteristics of human body parts. This made him couldn't help shouting in horror, and he felt that his body instantly collapsed. .
“Bang!”
The sound of Weng Weng’s seal being smashed came, and Ba Snake’s eyes flashed red, and he directly swept the seal down.
“Heaven will not destroy me, I am finally back!”
The muttering voice of the Holy Land is like the whispers of hell.
Bearing the attack of the magic weapon, Ba Snake's demon power seemed to remember something when it swept away.
It raised its head, the red light in its eyes was bright, and when it looked down, it was like a tiger looking at a sick monkey.
