Immortality is above

Chapter 37 37: The dragon escapes the water

Back home, Chen Liubai began to read and write.

In his youth, with the help of the memory experience of his previous life, he emerged in the field of poetry and became a "child prodigy". He really gained a lot of aura and praise, as well as real conveniences and benefits.

Now I return to my old career, not for fame and fortune, but because I feel some kind of peace and tranquility in my mind, which is quite beneficial.

As I realized before: the way of civility and martial arts is one step at a time.

It’s all part of polishing your mood.

Soon most of the day passed.

"Big event, something big happened!"

Chen Liushan rushed back panting, shouting excitedly.

Chen Liubai put down the book in his hand: "What's wrong?"

"Master Chen Zhengchong, the direct descendant of the fifth house in the upper half of the village, led a team up the mountain a few days ago. He said he wanted to kill the snake demon and eliminate harm for the people. Today he finally came down. They found a snake slough several feet long. It was scary. Zhuang Everyone on board was shocked and gathered around to watch. I couldn’t even squeeze in.”

"They said they killed the big snake?"

Chen Liushan touched his chin: "That's not true. I just said that a big snake's nest was found in the mountain canyon, and many human corpses were found, with lots of bones... It turns out that there is really such a big snake in the deep mountains. I'm afraid it has become a monster. I don't know now. Wherever he went, it’s scary to think about.”

On the same day, Chen Liubai did a lot of processing on the snakes and slaughtered and cut them. He dug a hole and buried the remaining parts. Of course, there was no grave or monument. After so many days, it was washed away by wind and rain, and it was difficult to find it again.

The people in the direct line of the fifth house could not find the body of the big snake, so they had to search in the canyon. Finally, they shed the snake and regarded it as a trophy, displaying it on the village to make it famous.

But now it seems that it has had the opposite effect.

The tribesmen and villagers didn't know that the big snake was dead. Although the move of the direct descendant Wufang seemed bold to attack Huanglong, it was also reckless. What if it angered the big snake and killed him down the mountain?
  Chen Liushan couldn't help but muttered: "They are in the spotlight, but they ignore the consequences. There are so many people in the village now that the big snake may not dare to show up, but they don't live in the village forever. After the big ceremony, they will Then we all left. By then, the big snake will definitely be angry with us, wouldn’t it be an unreasonable disaster?”

Chen Liubai analyzed: "Brother, don't worry, maybe the big snake is dead. Otherwise, why wouldn't it stay in the nest?"

"That's not necessarily true. It may have gone out to look for food, or it may have sensed danger and avoided it."

"..."

I didn't expect that my eldest brother had a thoughtful side.

So he asked: "What is the identity of Chen Zhengchong from the fifth room?"

Chen Liushan replied: "He is a warrior with excellent martial arts. He has a good reputation in the world. He opened a Qinghe Villa and is known as the 'Qinghe Hero'. By the way, his brother Chen Zhengxing is a fifth-grade master. Official, serving as Tongzhi in Lu'an Prefecture."

The two brothers were both outstanding in literature and martial arts, and they suddenly bolstered Wufang's momentum.

Regarding the situation of the direct lineage of the Chen family, the fourth uncle came last night and told Chen Liubai in detail.

There are seven people in total, and five- and seven-room apartments are currently the most developed.

As for the big house where the patriarch Chen Jiagong is located, its influence is not as good as before, mainly on the Chenjiaji.

The fourth uncle said this specifically in the hope that Chen Liubai could successfully recognize his ancestor and return to the clan at the grand ceremony, thus strengthening the reputation of the fourth family.

……

At this time, the village, along the main village road, was bustling with people, men, women, old and young, all gathered around, vying to see the strange thing.

Isn't a snake slough that is seven to eight feet long a rare thing to see?
  It can be seen from this that the snake has grown so big that it can be called a monster.

The hero of Qinghe, Chen Zhengchong, stood there with an erect figure, surrounded by his son Chen Xuan and his daughter Chen Rong.

This trip up the mountain to kill snakes actually did not meet expectations. After all, I didn't even see any snakes. I only found this kind of snake slough.

Snake slough belongs to the medicinal category and has some value, but not much.

They acted with great fanfare, under the banner of "removing harm for the people", but in fact they were hunting for the flesh and blood of the big snake, but in the end they got a snake slough, and they suddenly felt like they had failed. I have rummaged through the canyon. Apart from bones, there are various discarded utensils, all of which are scrap metal.

Reluctantly, he set up an ambush on the mountain, hoping that the big snake would come back, but he waited and waited, gaining nothing, so he had to go down the mountain.

After all, there are so many people staying in the mountains and all kinds of problems, so it’s not easy to stay there.

I originally thought of using the snake's slough to become famous. The initial feedback was really good, but gradually, the tribesmen and villagers began to worry about the snake's revenge.

Chen Zhengchong felt a little irritable, so he ordered his men to clear the way and enter the upper half of the village.

This matter has been spread for a long time. The clan leader Chen Jiagong led a group of clan elders to arrive. Faced with the astonishing snake shedding, there was a lot of discussion:

"The big snake sheds its skin, is it going to grow again?"

"In my opinion, he may have become a monster."

"If this monster is not eliminated, it will become a serious problem."

"But why is it not in the Snake Valley lair?"

"Needless to say, they must have been scared away by the people who were charging at them..."

Chen Jiagong coughed dryly and asked, "Zhengchong, can you tell me exactly what happened?"

Chen Zhengchong didn't hide anything and told everything.

After listening, Chen Jiagong said: "It's strange. Such a big snake should leave traces wherever it passes. Moreover, such a creature will not leave its nest easily."

Chen Zhengchong said: "I was also quite puzzled. When I observed the surrounding environment, it seemed that the big snake had not been active in the valley for a while."

A clan elder asked: "Could it be that it transformed into a demon and left the mountains?"

This possibility is not low. As the saying goes, "people go to higher places." The same goes for monsters. When they make a breakthrough and the original place no longer meets the requirements of life, they will choose to move to a better place.

Chen Jiagong said in deep thought: "This is the best."

No matter what, if there is a snake demon in the mountains, it will be a disturbing thing.

There are rumors in the streets and villages that there are monsters and spirits in a certain river that cannot be driven away or killed. In order to calm the trouble, the nearby villagers can only appease the monsters by offering sacrifices.

Those who offered sacrifices had to sacrifice not only three animals, but also boys and girls.

What a disaster.

The clan elder Lao Qi suddenly said: "The big snake sheds its skin, maybe it is about to turn into a dragon. Isn't it going to cause a big flood?"

When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

In recent years, the Benma River has indeed been flooded. Every time it breaks out, the fertile fields are flooded, causing heavy losses.

If the legendary dragon walked through the water, the water would be so powerful that it would be beyond imagination, and it might even drown Zhuangzi.

Chen Zhengchong's expression changed: "It's just a rumor, it may not be true."

Lao Qi said: "There must be a basis for the groundless rumors. For the sake of safety, it is better to take precautions as soon as possible."

Chen Zhengchong said: "If a dragon is born, it will be beyond the power of ordinary people to resist."

Lao Qi said proudly: "Don't be afraid, my Bin'er will be able to return to his hometown the day after tomorrow at the latest. Also, clan leader, don't our Chen clan have a clan-suppressing divine sword? When the time comes, we can hire the sword to slay the dragon!" "

　Thanks to book friend "Mao's Man" for your generous reward!

　　The story is unfolding gradually, and it will be more exciting later!
