Chapter 458 Hello, Brother Long
Le Yun originally thought that the little dragon guarding the Dragon Soul Grass had hibernated or fallen asleep. Unexpectedly, she was resting in the cave. After hearing the sound, she jumped up, threw the hatchet in her hand back into space, and ran to the steps in two bounds. Yijiao sat down cross-legged in a place far away from the Dragon Soul Grass and the cave.
The guardian animals of all spiritual herbs must also be spiritual creatures. She took the initiative to stay away from the Dragon Soul Grass and did not carry a weapon in her hand to show her goodwill.
After sitting down, she quickly took out a bag containing pills. Le Yun poured out two pills and waited to chat with the guardian dragon in a very friendly and kind manner.
At first, only a slight splashing sound was heard. Soon, the "splashing" sound coming from the cave was as violent as the waves hitting burnt rocks. The water flowing out of the cave also stopped from time to time, and the water speed was sometimes fast. Slow, water quality is turbid.
As the sound of splashing water became louder and louder, a cold wind with a bit of snake smell roared out of the cave, giving it a mythical feeling.
But for a moment, there was a burst of water splashing from the cave, and then with a sudden sound of water waves hitting the shore, a huge black and white python jumped out of the cave with a gust of wind and rain, and the stone slab surface crackled. ring.
What jumped out of the hole was a large python with white flowers on a black background. Its belly was yellow and white. Its head was as wide as two palms. The neck of the thinnest snake was as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The snake's body was as thick as an adult male's waist and waist. It almost fills the entrance of the cave.
The two eyes of the boa constrictor are larger than dragon eyes, glowing green. The snake letter, which is about three fingers wide, stretches out and spits out. It is at least two feet long. There is a fist-sized tumor on the top of the snake's head.
The giant python rushed out of the hole, and the water it rolled up splashed high and fell like a shower, making a crackling sound.
Whooshing, whooshing, the black and white python rushed out of the cave with a strong wind. It did not attack the intruder directly, but with its long body like the wind, it swung to the left and stood in front of the Dragon Soul Grass, using its head as a shield first. Blocking the grass, the tail continued to roll outward from the cave.
In just the blink of an eye, the python coiled up in a circle, and the snake's body was still moving outward. The snake's head stood up about two meters high, bent down, and opened its bloody mouth toward the strange intruder.
Looking at the music at the entrance of the cave from a distance, the X-ray light in my eyes swept away, and in an instant I got a perspective view, and a drop of cold sweat broke out in my heart. The python that is more than four hundred years old... Jiao?
The sarcoma on the top of the python's head is not a pathological tumor, but contains a bead, which is the inner elixir obtained by the snake's cultivation. Moreover, there are also horns hidden in the sarcoma.
It takes five hundred years for a snake to transform into a dragon, and a thousand years to transform into a dragon. The python that guards the Dragon Soul Grass has been practicing for hundreds of years and is already evolving towards the route of the dragon. When the five hundred years are up and the calamity is over, it will be able to shed its snake skin and evolve. Become a dragon.
Seeing the age of the python at a glance, Leyun showed a bright and friendly smile to the python head that was curled up beside her and flew towards her, and greeted very friendly: "Brother Long, hello, don't get angry yet, I'm not here to rob the dragon. Damn it, the weather is so beautiful, how about we sit down and talk?”
Elderly people in rural areas in northern E said that they often talk about some customs. It is said that every time a monk reaches a certain age, the big snake will go out to "ask for omens", that is, to ask for good omens. It is deliberately seen by others. If it meets people and says "dragon", it is a good omen. , you will soon be able to practice successfully and attain the Tao; if you meet someone and say it is a "snake", then if you fail to seek omens, you will have to go back and practice again.
The old people say that people who let big snakes bring good omens will be blessed and safe if they become snakes. If they don't give good omens to snakes, they may get sick or have bad luck. "September Cold" has almost the same meaning. Therefore, when old people in rural areas encounter a snake, they don't call it a snake, but call it a dragon. When they encounter a small snake, they often use the word "little dragon" instead.
When she was very young, Leyun often listened to the miraculous legends and customs told by the elders, so she decisively followed the local customs in her hometown, abided by the rules of her predecessors, and called the big python "dragon" as they liked.
The black and white python was extremely fast. In an instant, its neck stretched out two to three meters. It was about two meters away from the human sitting cross-legged. When it heard the human's voice, its head that jumped forward suddenly stopped, and blood flowed from its open mouth. The big mouth of the basin is hanging in the air, and the pink fleshy membrane in the mouth is clearly visible.
It swallowed the letter a few times, with its mouth still wide open. The snake's body crawled out of the cave piece by piece, and it coiled twice again, with the tail end still in the cave.
"Brother Long, I really don't mean any harm. If I were a medicine thief and had taken the Dragon Soul Grass and ran away before you even left the cave, how could I have waited until now. Brother Long, if you have something to talk about, let's sit down and talk. Talk.”
The giant python, which has been practicing for hundreds of years, is spiritual and can understand what he is saying. Le Yun is even more relieved. She ignores the smell of blood and generously hands out the pills in her hand: "Brother Long , this is the elixir I made myself, and it is also detoxifying. You can smell it. Although it is not as effective as the Dragon Soul Grass fruit, it is not bad, right? Ah, do you think this is true? It’s not easy for Brother Long to practice for more than 400 years, and it’s less than a hundred years before he can truly transform into a dragon. It won’t do you any good to commit murder during this period, right? Let’s sit down and talk, right? Brother Yu Long has no loss.”
The black-and-white python "hissed" twice, stretched out its mouth, and slowly closed its open mouth. The raised snake body coiled downwards, and its head was still erect, more than one meter high, blocking the Dragon Soul Grass. The last breath Snake Tail finally left the cave and coiled itself up in circles, covering an area of several square meters, like a huge round wheel.
The giant python's head and body are coiled in the center, standing upright like a telegraph pole. The scales on its body are closely overlapped like iron sheets, glowing with cold light. Its huge body is extremely scary.
The python coiled up and made no move to attack, but still guarded the Dragon Soul Grass vigilantly, which also indicated that it would start a fight at any time.
As expected, the giant python sat down and talked in a friendly manner. Le Yun became more confident and threw out the pill in her hand: "Brother Long, this is a meeting gift from me. Try it and see if it is beneficial to you."
A yellow-white crystal grain flew towards me. The python stretched its neck and rolled up the pill with its red tongue. It swallowed the pill without even showing the movement of swallowing, and moved its head forward again. Stretching out, getting closer to humans and lowering the height slightly.
"Brother Long, if you don't mind, I'll give you this one too." The huge snake's head stretched out, Le Yun's eyebrows arched, and she threw out the remaining pills with a smile.
The giant python stretched its neck, rolled up the medicine particles with its tongue and swallowed it. Half of its head and body were on the ground, with its head raised, facing the human girl, about two meters away. It lowered its body again, and the human girl It is also about the same height as the snake.
Snakes and people will compete for height. Snakes compete for heights, and people compete for heights for survival. When people meet snakes, if the people are taller than the snakes, then their luck will not be bad. If they are defeated by the snakes, they may have bad luck.
The giant python raised its head before, but then lowered its body, indicating that it intended to talk to humans calmly, which is also the respect that spiritual animals show to each other. Le Yun didn't understand snake language, but she could guess that it didn't want to fight. She sat more casually and chatted with a smile: "Brother Long, I know the importance of Dragon Soul Grass to you. You eat flowers and fruits to purify you." The bloody smell on your body, wait until the day of transforming into a dragon before eating the Dragon Soul Grass to resist the thunder tribulation. The Dragon Soul Grass is guarded by you, it is yours, I am embarrassed to snatch it from you, can you give me one? A seed and a few leaves, Brother Long, don’t be upset, don’t be upset, just listen to me first,”
When chatting with the python, it listened quietly. When it came to asking for fruits and leaves, it immediately raised its head and spat out the message. Le Yun hurriedly discussed the matter with nice words: "Brother Long, according to the date, this year The fruit is the last fruit of the Dragon Soul Grass before you transform into a dragon. When you reach the age of five hundred years, the Dragon Soul Grass will only have flowers. You must eat the Dragon Soul Grass on the day you transform into a dragon. If you eat the Dragon Soul Grass , there is no new Dragon Soul Grass growing here, and the Dragon Soul Grass may become extinct in the future
Heaven has the virtue of good life, and practice pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect. Brother Long, if you use the Dragon Soul Grass to survive the tribulation, you have to leave it behind, right? It is also a meritorious deed that you give this year's fruit to me to use as seeds. Whether the fruit will germinate or not depends on fate. I want a few leaves to make elixirs to save people. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You Give me a few leaves, it will also bring merit to you, and you will be blessed with merit on the day you transform into a dragon, making it easier to survive the catastrophe. ”
The little girl was talking rationally, and the black and white python, which had been a little agitated, became calm again. He leaned his head and listened to the human being's reasoning. His tongue stretched out and retracted, as if he was deep in thought.
The boa constrictor didn't riot, which meant it was being reasonable. Le Yun didn't rush it and let it think slowly. She looked at it face to face with a smile on its face.
The giant python stuck out its tongue and stood quietly for a while, then turned to look at the green grass, opened its green eyes and thought for a while, then retracted its head and returned to the place where its body was coiled, with its head resting on itself. The body lay lazily in a ball.
"Brother Long, do you agree?" Le Yun suddenly became happy and her eyes were bright: "Brother Long, I won't break your Dragon Soul Grass leaves in vain, I still have a few pills. , and give it to you as compensation for your loss.”
I was in a good mood, and of course not afraid. I took out the pill bag from my pocket, opened it, poured out the remaining eight pills and put them in the palm of my hand, got up and gave them to the big snake.
Human beings are familiar with it. The giant snake's head was slightly raised, but it did not show any fierceness.
Le Yun has always been a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and with the super plug-in in space, she is even more fearless. When she sees the python is docile and well-behaved, she spreads her legs and rushes towards it, running to a place about one foot away from the big python without any fear. He sat down on his butt, stretched out the hand holding the pills, and gave the pills to the talkative Dalong.
The humans brought fragrant elixirs, and the big black and white snakes refused to accept them all. They stretched out their red tongues and swept away three or four pills. With another sweep, they swallowed up all the small pills held in the palms of human hands. They were huge. As soon as he put his head on his head, he lay on his thick body again and enjoyed the breeze of the sunny day.
"Brother Long, it will take two days for the fruits of the Dragon Soul Grass to mature. You need to wait. I am also idle. The aura near your cave is very strong. It is a treasure land with many types of medicinal materials. I will pick some and take them back to make elixirs. , you take your time and bask in the sun, I will come back in the evening.”
After reaching an agreement with the python, Le Yun set her sights on the nearby medicinal materials. The place where the elixir grows must have spiritual energy, and the spiritual place will produce the best. The place where the python can live well is of course the spiritual treasure land. There are many kinds of medicinal materials nearby. .
In addition, due to its geographical location, there are no human footprints involved, and various plants grow freely, including rare medicinal materials and plants unique to Gaoligong.
Le Yun said hello to the python, jumped up and waved her little claws to it, jumped down the steps, and walked towards the forest along the ditch created by the running water.
The human girl was going to find medicinal materials, but the giant python was still lazily watching the human being leave. He stood up and looked down from a high position, watching the human being walk into the woods and lie down in a circle again.
The water flowing out of the cave is visually very large during the high water season. Due to the strong water, a large ditch has been washed out. The ditch has been washed out into convex and concave areas, with uneven sides. Some tree roots have also been washed out. The water flow Drill through the roots.
It is the dry season now, and the water flows into a stream flowing in the ditch.
Entering the woods, Le Yun threw her backpack back into space, took out a hatchet to chop weeds, walked about three or four meters, chopped down the spreading plants beside the ditch, and found the treasure she was looking for - a piece of jade-like wool. Stone, that kind of stone has a nice name: Dulong Jade.
The stone was stuck in the ditch and looked like a piece of ice mixed with green that had fallen into the water.
When looking from a distance, she only saw a looming spiritual energy in the woods, and was not sure what it was. She found the target along the way and discovered that it turned out to be jade.
Dulong jade is produced in the deep mountains of a certain river basin in Gaoligong Mountain. The place where the jade is produced is extremely remote. So far, it has not been produced in batches, let alone on a large scale.
It is true that the ancients said that meeting a dragon is a blessing. Leyun Xiya. These days, she has given up a lot of digging medicinal materials to collect rare medicinal herbs and sacrificed a lot. Unexpectedly, she not only found Dragon Soul Grass, but also picked up jade. Developed!
With joy in my heart, I rolled up my sleeves happily and fished out the jade from the water. It weighed about three or four kilograms. The texture of the stone was very similar to the ice-type jadeite. The color was slightly gray and not as crystal clear as jadeite. Even if the luster is not as clear as jade, it is still jade with spiritual energy. After receiving unexpected wealth, it is quickly thrown back into space.
Finding Dulong Jade also confirmed her suspicion: there was treasure hidden in the cave. The treasure is the Dulong jade deposit.
When she was observing the terrain, she saw auras and brilliance in the cave. She knew there was treasure inside but never thought of killing the snake to get the treasure. Her grandparents taught her that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. People must be kind, and don't force it on yourself. The python first One step later, she discovered that the treasure land was being used as a cave. It was against her moral conscience and the principle of being kind to others to seize other people's territory.
The jade that came out of the cave was an ownerless thing. Once she picked it up, it belonged to her, so there was no psychological burden at all.
After picking up the first piece of jade, I was full of expectations for the rest of my trip. I picked up the hatchet and set off to find the treasure.
