I have a long pupil

Chapter 11 Climbing Snake Mountain in Autumn

"That's a story passed down from my grandparents..."

Lao Cunzheng took a sip of wine, his cloudy eyes carried a hint of memory, and his voice became low.

"It is rumored that there is an evil ghost hiding in this mountain. He has a tiger's head, a human body, a tongue that can turn into a poisonous snake, and the ability to charm people..."

"There was a child named Ah Guang who went to the back mountain for a while, and when he came back, he became dazed. He often said that someone was calling his name..."

"Then one day, the person disappeared. People from the village went up the mountain in groups, but they searched the entire mountain and found only one shoe."

"Some people say that he was eaten by the wolf in the mountain, but more people say that he was eaten alive by the evil spirit in the mountain..."

Zhang Biao frowned slightly, "When did this happen?"

Lao Cunzheng scratched his head, "Hmm... according to my grandfather, it seems to have happened during the Longxing period."

Longxing?

Zhang Biao lost interest immediately after hearing this.

Longxing was the reign title of the third emperor of the Liang Dynasty, and it was only more than 200 years old.

The aura of this world has declined, although the exact time is unknown, but it was at least a thousand years ago.

Most of them are strange tales made up by the countryside.

When the old village saw this, he couldn't help laughing, "It's no wonder that Zhang is the head catcher, it's all the villagers' wild thoughts during their slack, to scare disobedient children."

"The little old man has heard a lot of these things. In some villages there is Aunt Hu, and in some villages there are Laoyin people. They pass them on in a decent way, but no one has seen them."

"Come, come, drink this cup again."

"Thank you, Muramasa, for your hospitality."

Zhang Biao lost a few more cups, then got up and said goodbye, "I have something important to do, so I won't bother you."

"Yes, business matters."

After saying goodbye, Zhang Biao went out of the courtyard and walked towards the bay red horse tied outside.

Hululu...

The bay red horse suddenly became extremely restless. Before he could get close, it struggled hard. The horse twisted its neck, broke free from the rein, and walked away.

"The beast is looking for a fight!"

Zhang Biao was so angry that he chased after him and ran out of the village in a blink of an eye.

The horse bet him ten taels of silver.

If it gets lost, the loss will be heavy.

Behind him, Lao Cun, who was going to see him off, was dumbfounded, not expecting such a thing to happen.

He shook his head, and was about to go back to the house, but saw his grandson standing there in a daze, his eyes glazed over, his face pale, and cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Silly baby, what's the matter?"

Lao Cunzheng was startled, and hurried forward to check, but found that his grandson seemed to be suffering from hysteria, trembling all over in a daze, and did not speak.

The daughter-in-law and grandma who heard the movement ran out, and the family pinched someone and poured ginger soup. Only then did the little grandson recover and burst into tears.

"Silly boy, what happened to you just now?"

After coaxing for a long time, Lao Muramasa asked.

Han Wa rubbed her tears and sobbed, "That uncle just now had a shadow behind him."

Old Village Zheng heard Yan An asked: "You must be dazzled, you'll be fine in the future, don't listen to old Li's messy stories."

After the grandson heard this, he began to cry again, and the subsequent words made everyone's expressions change drastically.

"That shadow, ugh..."

"It's Grandma Wu!"

………………

The autumn wind is bleak, and the lead clouds are dense.

The sound of horseshoes, dust and smoke, accompanied by the neighing sound of Hululu, the shadow of Claret ran farther and farther.

"Damn beast!"

Looking at the figure in the distance, Zhang Biao stopped, panted heavily, and cursed a few times.

He has extraordinary foot strength, but how can he catch up with galloping horses?
What's more, the beast seemed to have gone crazy. Whenever he approached, he would speed up desperately, and after a few back and forth, he was thrown far away.

"That's all, let's break the fortune and eliminate the disaster."

Now that the matter has come to this, Zhang Biao no longer regrets it, calms his breath, turns and leaves the official road, and heads towards the back mountain of Tuwan Village.

The main purpose of his coming here is to investigate the so-called "Snake Temple".

The story of the old village is just an ordinary folk tale, the old people just scare the children after dinner.

However, it is not without gains.

One is that there are many snakes in the back mountains, and Tuwan Village has been bitten. With the accumulation of experience over the years, the people in the village will prepare snake medicine.

According to the tomb robber Xiaotian, they found a giant snake statue in the cave, and there are many snakes in the mountain...

Maybe it's related.

One is Yi Chonghui. According to what Lao Cunzheng said, he is the only outsider who has appeared recently. Occasionally, villagers went to the mountain to cut firewood, but they didn't find anything strange.

It means that the other party is acting secretly, even if they are still on the mountain at this moment, there will not be many people.

The thought turned in his mind, Zhang Biao quickened his pace, and after a while, he came to the back mountain.

There should have been a few hills here, but as the river diverted, the wind and sand eroded and shaped the rugged terrain.

The forests on the mountain are dense, and because autumn has come, it looks withered, yellow and green, and the eyes are mottled.

Under the weeds and vines, there are jagged rocks.

sizzle...

As soon as he entered the mountain, a black snake came out from the crevice of the stone, with a triangular head and white spots like spots.

It looks like a poisonous snake.

This snake also had a fierce temperament, and it didn't run away when it saw him, but raised its head high and threatened him with a message.

Zhang Biao flipped his wrist, and the knife was out of its sheath.

But just as he was about to make a move, his heart moved, and the eyes of spiritual vision began to operate.

Black-striped Ironhead Snake (Van)
1. An ancient species, widely distributed in various worlds, with black stripes and white spots, and tight scales.

2. Highly poisonous, ferocious and fast.

3. Someone died because of him recently.

4. There are tricks left in the blood...

Trick? !
Zhang Biao's eyes lit up immediately.

His guess is correct, there are many snakes here, and it really has something to do with the monk's inheritance.

Being able to play tricks on the bloodline, and I don't know what kind of technique, it will still have an impact after a thousand years.

He also killed someone recently.

The old village didn't mention it, it shouldn't be a villager in Tuwan, maybe it's a member of the Yi Chong Association...

Seeing him meditating, the black-striped iron-headed snake seemed to feel provoked, and with a sudden bounce of its entangled body, it turned into a black shadow and charged straight at it.

Zhang Biao had been prepared for a long time. While retreating sideways with a T-shaped step, he raised his sword horizontally.

With a flash of cold light, the poisonous snake has been broken into two pieces, but it is dead but not stiff, and its fangs are still open, spraying venom.

Zhang Biao didn't even look at it, and walked towards the top of the mountain along the winding mountain road.

There are indeed quite a few snakes here, and they emerge from the grass crevices from time to time along the way, and some colors even blend with the surrounding environment.

Even though Zhang Biao had good eyesight, he was almost successfully attacked several times.

It took half an hour to reach the top of the mountain.

At this time, it was past noon.

The sky was cloudy with lead, and there was no sunlight.

Surrounded by mountains, rivers and gullies, it twists and turns, like a nine-dragon wall.

That's why he climbed mountains.

From the tomb mouse, Xiao Tiankou, they learned that the reason why they were able to find the cave was because of the extraordinary terrain of the mountain, and it was only because the river changed its course, which destroyed Feng Shui.

His master accidentally discovered it, and with the attitude of giving it a try, he searched for dragon acupuncture points and found the Snake Temple.

According to the method asked, Zhang Biao first found a huge boulder overhanging the wall, and then looked forward along the sharp point of the boulder.

Sure enough, there was a sunken mountain there, like a dustpan, densely covered with weeds and shaded by trees.

The entrance to the cave is at the bottom of the dustpan.

Zhang Biao looked at the direction, and quickly went down the mountain again. After a stick of incense, he reached the target area.

Before he got close, he hid in the grass, his eyes sharp, and he observed carefully.

It is very quiet here, only the autumn wind blows, causing the woods to rustle.

But Zhang Biao soon discovered something strange.

On the way into the woods, many shrub branches have been broken, and there are traces of people being dragged on the grass.

Thoughtful, Zhang Biao picked up a stone from the ground, turned his right hand, and the stone flew out.

rustling…

Ten meters on the opposite side, rocks were rolling back and forth in the grass, making quite a movement.

call out!
A sharp arrow flew over and disappeared into the grass.

Sure enough, there are hidden stakes!
Zhang Biao remained calm and motionless.

After waiting for a long time, only one person walked out of the dense forest cautiously with a hand crossbow.

This man was wearing night clothes, with stubble on his face and gloomy eyes. He looked around vigilantly before he came to the grass.

He squatted down slowly, looked down, and the empty door behind him was completely exposed.

But Zhang Biao remained motionless.

The opponent's whole body was tense, and he deliberately didn't look around when he squatted down, obviously he was fishing.

Sure enough, another man in black with a square face walked out of the dense forest, shaking his head and said: "Old Wan, you are too careful, no one will come from this barren mountain."

The man in black named Lao Wan stood up and said coldly: "The leader of the meeting told me that there must be no news about this matter. The world is dangerous, so be careful."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The square-faced man responded with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Master Li Xiang, they have been digging for several days, what are they looking for?"

"How do I know."

Lao Wan glanced coldly, "Don't ask too much, too much curiosity will kill you."

The square-faced man blushed immediately, and scolded: "I don't need to talk too much about what I'm doing."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the woods, muttering as he walked: "Made, in the wilderness, who are you flattering for?"

At this moment, Zhang Biao suddenly jumped out.

That Lao Wan is also a good player, he didn't check when he heard the wind behind him, but rolled forward to avoid it, then turned around and raised the crossbow.

However, it's too late.

Zhang Biao held a horizontal knife, his feet seemed to be in the mud, he rushed forward, swayed from side to side, while avoiding the crossbow arrows, the light of the knife and the figure passed by at the same time.

puff!

Behind him, Lao Wan clutched his neck, blood spattered, fell to the ground and twitched continuously, his pupils gradually lost focus.

In front, the square-faced man in black heard the movement, his complexion changed drastically, and he turned around quickly.

No matter how fast Zhang Biao was, he was still ten meters away from the opponent, but he was already prepared.

With a flick of the ecstasy mirror in his left hand, the other party suddenly lost his mind.

Although it was only for a short moment, Zhang Biao jumped up into the air and swung his right hand suddenly.

clap la la...

The soul lock roared out.

puff!

The tip of the meteor gun in front inserted into the opponent's forehead, and he pulled it along the way. Immediately, the brains and blood splashed, and the body fell to the ground with a plop.

After killing the stump, Zhang Biao did not relax his vigilance. Seeing that there was no movement in the dense forest, he slowly stepped forward and wiped off the stain on the head of the Ecstasy Lock with the corpse's clothes.

The entrance to the cave is easy to find.

Even if the other party concealed it with dead branches and vines, the human traces could not be hidden.

This is a herringbone mountain crevice, so dark that you can't see the depth. As soon as you enter the entrance of the cave, you feel very cool.

Suddenly, Zhang Biao's complexion changed, he turned around suddenly, looked behind him in surprise, and touched his neck again.

Just now, I suddenly felt a chill in my neck.

It's like a piece of ice sticking to the skin.

However, there was no one behind him, only the autumn wind was blowing, blowing the dead leaves on the open ground.

Mom, this place is kind of evil...

Zhang Biao cursed inwardly, then took courage, stepped lightly, and gradually went deep into the darkness.

At the entrance of the cave, the wind blows.

The originally dry stone wall became moist, and then gradually condensed hoarfrost.

on hoarfrost,

There is a faint human handprint...
