The years of reselling the haunted house

If it weren't for its four claws, I would even think it was a boa constrictor.

It turns out that what lives down here is such a thing that looks like a dragon but not a dragon, looks like a snake but not a snake, and looks like a lizard but not a lizard.

Although there were four people standing on the ground, it saw Pei Yingfa at a glance. It rushed towards Pei Yingfa quickly, but unexpectedly, there was a fuxi net surrounding him.He bumped into the Fuxi website all at once.

The seemingly simple net made of a few ropes was extremely effective against this monster.When the thing hit it, I saw the golden light flashing from the network cable.The monster was bounced back and rolled several times on the ground.And let out a scream.

As soon as its cry came out, it was the cry of a child.

It turned out that this crying sound was always made by this thing, so what happened to the child we saw during the day?

Right now we have no time to think about this issue, obviously this thing is an evil thing hiding in the well.Anyway, let's subdue it first.

The monster was restrained by the Fuxi net, knowing that he was in an ambush, he turned around without hesitation and rushed back towards the mouth of the well, no doubt wanting to go back down the well again.

The return of monsters is also completely expected.I was guarding the mouth of the well, and I had already made preparations. Without saying a word, I swung my sword and swept towards the monster.

With this move, the first move of Shanhe Sword was used, the iron horse shines on Shanhe.This sword was already full of momentum, coupled with the power of the Jianglongmu sword, the monster screamed and dodged, not daring to go to the mouth of the well, turned around and rushed in another direction.

Fuxi's net sealed seven sides, and the monster didn't bother to distinguish the direction in a hurry, it was just a headless fly, rushing and bumping into Fuxi's net.

Every time it hits, although it can't break through the Fuxi net, the threads on the net will be broken a few times.This is completely under Li Weiwei's control. He knows that his skills are limited, so it's good that Fuxiwang can withstand a shock.So Pang Dahai was arranged to mend the net.

And the fat man was already ready to go, holding a ball of thread in his hand, and found that every time the net was broken, he could quickly mend the net.In the end, the monster really had nowhere to escape, and finally found the only exit in the entire Fuxi net.

It shook its head and tail, and rushed towards the exit recklessly.

Li Weidu was guarding there. At this time, I felt that our arrangement seemed a little sloppy. We only arranged Li Weidu at the exit. I don't know if we can subdue the monster.

Because the ferocity of this monster seems to be stronger than we expected,

Li Weiwei was not in a hurry, seeing the thing rushing out from the exit, he threw a net over and covered the thing with its head and tail inside.

Li Weiwei has deeply grasped the essence of Fuxi Net, this Fuxi Net is ever-changing, and what he uses is also varied.

After the net caught the monster, it quickly shrank, and the monster turned and struggled inside, tearing and biting.After struggling several times, Fuxi's net was bitten by several ropes, and it was about to break through the net.

Fatty and I are also ready to step forward to help.

Li Weiwei was also sweating anxiously, gritted his teeth, and drank: "I'm sorry, if I run again, I won't be able to catch it."

As he spoke, Li Weiwei waved the wooden sword in his hand, and stabbed straight at the monster.

Li Weidu wanted to capture the monster alive, but depending on the situation, it would be very difficult to do so, so in order to avoid future troubles, he also used a ruthless sword with this sword, with the momentum to kill the monster at once.

And the monster was entangled in the net, and it hadn't gotten rid of its shackles yet, so it was impossible to escape.

However, at this critical moment, the scene changed again.

No one expected that Pei Yingfa who had been watching from the side suddenly rushed over and hugged Li Weiwei.

"Don't, don't kill it..." Pei Yingfa shouted loudly.

Li Weiwei tried to break free, but Pei Yingfa's strength was not weak, and this time because of his anxiety, he hugged Li Weiwei tightly.

The monster entangled in the net took advantage of this opportunity to quickly bite off two more ropes, and rushed out with a bang. The fat man and I tried to stop it, but it slipped away nimbly.Without the shackles of Fuxi net, we have no chance to catch it at all.

The monster ran for a certain distance, but did not continue to escape, but stayed not far away, dragging its long tail, and staring at us with two rogue eyes.

I sighed: "It's over, the plan has failed. I hope this thing won't hurt anyone when it gets out."

Seeing that Pei Yingfa was still hugging him tightly, Li Weiwei was a little annoyed. He broke free from Pei Yingfa and shouted: "What are you doing? This thing will definitely hurt people if it runs out, don't you know? It's not a pet , it’s an evil thing, didn’t you see it?”

"No... no, it won't hurt, trust me. I've had him for so many years, I know him, he's very honest."

Pei Yingfa hurriedly explained, while opening his hands to stop us, for fear that we would be disadvantageous to that monster again.

Facing such an old man as Pei Yingfa, I really have nothing to do.You can't beat him or scold him.

Li Weiwei was uncharacteristically. He stomped his feet and yelled at Pei Ying with his usual good temper: "What do you know? You raise it very honestly, that's because you wear an amulet. You thought it was the one you fed." Did it survive with something? This kind of thing, without eating or drinking, can live longer than you just by absorbing the yin energy in the well. If this kind of thing is not eradicated sooner, it will be a disaster sooner or later. I regret it now, why? To consider your feelings and leave a hole in Fuxi Net, I should surround it and burn it to death. Our one-night arrangement was all in vain because of you. Do you know how much this delays us? I... I ..."

The more Li Weiwei spoke, the more angry he became, his eyes were about to burst, and as he spoke, he raised the wooden sword in his hand and stabbed at Pei Yingfa.

Chapter 1843 Five Claws Are Dragons, Four Claws Are Pythons

"Old Li." I wanted to stop him, but found that Li Weiwei seemed to be in a state of madness at this time.I've never seen him lose his temper so much, and it was directed at Pei Ying.We already knew that the old man had a special feeling for this house, and at the same time, Ai Wu and Wu had great feelings for everything in this house.This of course includes the creatures in the well, not to mention that he fed them with his own hands.

This should be completely within the scope of our understanding.So I also don't understand Li Weiwei's behavior.

Of course Pei Yingfa was also dumbfounded. He watched Li Weiwei's sword stabbing at him, but he didn't know how to dodge.

At this critical moment, a burst of children's cries suddenly came from not far away.We turned our heads to look at the same time, and of course it was the monster that looked like a snake but not a snake that made the sound. After it screamed, it suddenly moved its body and rushed to the side quickly.

At first I thought he was trying to escape, but suddenly I found a big rock not far away, and the monster rushed towards it.

Between lightning and flint, the monster hit the stone head-on.

With a snap, the monster rolled over and fell to the ground.

"Oh..." Pei Yingfa let out a cry of pain, and hurriedly rushed towards the monster.

We were also stunned by this scene, which was not at all what we expected.We hurriedly followed Pei Yingfa and ran over.

It was only when I got closer that there were bloodstains on the ground and stones. The monster hit the stone with its head, and the head was broken, and the body was still twitching.

Pei Yingfa picked up the monster, and the monster whimpered from the inside. It was still the sound of a child crying. It looked like a wronged child who buried his head in his father's arms and cried.

Pei Yingfa was very sad and hugged the monster tightly.The monster's eyes kept staring at Pei Yingfa, seemingly unwilling to let go.

After they persisted in this posture for a few minutes, the monster suddenly twitched, opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue to lick Pei Yingfa's hand, then suddenly stopped moving.

I clearly saw that the monster's tongue was forked, obviously it should be a kind of snake.

Pei Yingfa cried, very sadly.

Seeing an elderly man crying so sadly, anyone's heart would be broken.

Li Weiwei said from the side: "Old man Pei, I'm sorry, my intention is not to kill you, but to show this monster. I guess it won't ignore you and will definitely come back to save you, so we can I have a chance to catch it. But I didn't expect it to be so stubborn that it would use this method of sacrificing itself to save you. It must think that our target is it. As long as it dies, we will not I am embarrassing you. In this way, although this is an evil, it is a righteous beast. It deserves our admiration."

Only then did we understand Li Weiwei's intentions, no wonder he acted like a different person just now.It turned out that he wanted to use this trick to attract the monster.This is indeed a clever move, but no one expected this monster to solve the problem in such a way.

After inspection, the monster must be dead.Looking closely now, we found that the monster's round body was covered with scales.The body is also greasy, which undoubtedly should be a kind of python.

After it died, purple spots appeared on its body.

Li Weiwei said: "Five claws are dragons, and four claws are pythons. I thought this was just a legend, but I didn't expect to meet a python with long claws today."

I also know the saying that the five claws are dragons and the four claws are pythons, but this saying was formed in the Qing Dynasty, mainly as the difference between the decorations on the clothes of the emperor and his subordinates. The emperor wore "dragon robes", while other royal families and subordinates wore " Boa robes", but I didn't expect that there are really long-legged boa constrictors in reality.You must know that the idiom "adding feet to a snake" has a long history, which means that snakes have no feet.

After careful inspection, this python not only had its feet, but also had a faint horny growth on its head.Apparently this python's practice has reached a certain level, and it's about to turn into a dragon.

There has always been a folk saying that a big snake becomes a python, a big python becomes a boa, a big boa becomes a jiao, and a big jiao becomes a dragon.It was an eye-opener to see such a spiritual creature today.

After Li Weidu finished watching the python, he sighed and said, "This python has practiced at least for hundreds of years. Normally, we are no match for him at all. It's just that we did one thing right yesterday, otherwise today We're all going to be wounded by this boa constrictor."

"Yesterday? You mean, Tarzan Stone?" I asked.

"That's right. Do you still remember the Qinglong we harvested from the Taishan Stone with the Qingyun Order of the ancient sinking wood?"

I nodded: "I understand. What you mean is that the Qinglong is not a dragon, but the spiritual energy of a python or a jiao. It is the same thing as this python. We took that Qinglong, this There is no aura in the python body, so it is controlled by us."

"Exactly. Otherwise, I can't understand that a python that has practiced for so many years would die so easily. Without the spiritual energy, it is just an ordinary python with a sinister aura."

I looked at the monster and questioned, "But if it's a python, it doesn't seem to be big enough."

Li slightly waved his hand: "It doesn't really matter whether it's a python or a snake. Old man Pei, in fact, the python is not dead, so you don't have to be so sad."

Pei Ying was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the monster in his arms, and found that it was completely dead, so he got a little angry and said, "You Taoist priest, I know you have to solve the matter of the ancient well in order to deal with the house. I called it up, and I cooperated with you. You also promised that I would not kill it. What happened, it died in my hands. And you can't just make fun of my old man. It's dead, why do you still say it's not dead?"

Li Weiwei hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, what I meant was that even if the python doesn't crash into this rock today, sooner or later it will find its own death. So it knows that its life is not long, So arrangements have already been made. So its death here has nothing to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with me? You say it's not dead, and you say it's dead. What do you want to say?"

Pei Yingfa was completely confused by what Li Weiwei said, and asked in surprise.

"Do you know about crossing robbery?" Li asked slightly.

"Crossing the catastrophe?" I was taken aback, and asked, "Old Li, you mean that this python is crossing the catastrophe? No, it should not be time to cross the catastrophe yet."

Pei Yingfa asked curiously: "Crossing Tribulation? What Crossing Calamity?"

Obviously, Pei Yingfa is not a cultivator, he doesn't understand what crossing the catastrophe means.

Chapter 1844 About Transcending the Tribulation

In order to make him feel more at ease, Li Weidu patiently explained to him: "Dujie is a Taoist term. Everything in the world has its own laws. This can be called the way of heaven. But some people have to go against the sky. Yes, it includes people, animals, plants, even a small object, a piece of earth, etc... They go against the sky, and they will be punished to a certain extent. This is the kalpa. Obstacles are the price of changing one's fate against the heavens, and are punishments from the heavens. There are thousands of kalpas, and the most commonly heard one is "heavenly thunder."

Pei Yingfa listened very carefully. He looked at the python in his arms and asked, "Practice is practice. What's wrong with practice? Why is there a calamity? Could it be that his death was a calamity?"

Li Weidu continued: "Animals have to accept the test of heaven after a certain period of cultivation. This is a catastrophe, and it is also the way of heaven. No one can hide. If they can survive the catastrophe, they will enter a higher level of cultivation. Dao, if you fail, it will damage your practice at least, and your soul will be scattered at worst. It is said that the snake crosses the catastrophe once every 500 years and transforms into a dragon, and after another 1000 years, it transforms into a dragon. It also experienced the stages of pythons and anacondas , In the end, the transformation from a jiao into a dragon is a positive result, so it is not unreasonable to say that snakes also have small dragons. On the day of crossing the catastrophe, there were thunder and lightning, and the eyes of the sky were opened. The purpose was to inspect who was crossing the catastrophe. If you can avoid this burst of lightning, you will succeed in crossing the catastrophe and become a dragon, but if you cannot avoid it, you will be seriously injured or die."

Pei Yingfa touched the python with his hand, with a sad expression on his face, he said lightly: "Then the way of heaven, doesn't it have a cruel side? It's hard to practice for thousands of years, but you have to face the catastrophe of losing your soul. Is it fair to treat them... Is this the way of heaven, the right way?"

Li Weidu said: "In fact, about crossing the catastrophe, it has always been one of the most discussed issues among people, including ordinary people and cultivators. This question is, why is there a catastrophe? In fact, in the ancient philosophy In it, people believe that all things in the world must operate and survive in accordance with a common law, the "law of heaven". For example, a person's normal life span is within a certain range, and exceeding this range has actually broken through the law of heaven. Shackles, then the way of heaven is not allowed. The way of heaven, in traditional Chinese culture, is interpreted as an existence with two sides: strict and benevolent. The strict point is that everything that does not conform to the way of heaven, that is, things that do not conform to the laws, will be regarded by the way of heaven It is an odd number, but the benevolent thing is that the way of heaven does not kill the odd number, but passes the test of the catastrophe and gives the opportunity. Therefore, the way of heaven is fair. If this python can pass the catastrophe smoothly, the way of heaven will allow it It exists. I think there must be examples of successful tribulation crossings in the world. It’s just that after they successfully cross the tribulation, they are in two worlds with us, and we won’t see it easily.”

I only know a little bit about crossing the catastrophe, and Li Weiwei's understanding of the way of heaven and crossing the catastrophe is obviously deeper than mine.

Pei Yingfa seemed to understand but didn't understand, and didn't say anything after hearing it.

I looked at the horns on the top of the python's head, and said: "This python has not yet turned into a dragon, that is, it has not yet reached the time of crossing the catastrophe. Could it be that it may have the opportunity to penetrate the hole and think that it may not be able to cross the sky?" Jie, did you make such a move?"

Li nodded slightly and said: "That's right. In fact, after so many years of practice, it must have an overall consideration of its own Taoism and the upcoming catastrophe. It thinks that it will not survive this catastrophe, so it has already begun to prepare .”

"Among these preparations, does it include transferring your own essence and aura to the Mount Tai stone?"

"It should be like this. Those are the essence and spiritual energy it has gathered for many years of practice, and it can be gathered into a dragon shape in the Mount Tai stone. It couldn't bear to let its hundreds of years of practice be destroyed, so it came up with this method. Even if it This place has suffered a catastrophe, and its essence and aura can be preserved. But in this way, its current Taoism is not much higher than that of ordinary pythons. At most, it can only accumulate Taoism for about 100 years, so it can Made by us."

I nodded, and also thought that Li Weiwei's inference should be in line with the facts.If this is the case, the python that is about to cross the catastrophe has been practicing for at least 500 years.In other words, it has already started to practice before the house was built.

Thinking of this, I suddenly understood a little more, and said: "It seems that it has been hiding in this ancient well, and it is intentional. It should be hiding in this ancient well so that it can escape the catastrophe. But it may be in the middle. Something happened that caused its whereabouts to be exposed, and it also expected that it might not be able to survive the catastrophe, so it took a series of actions."

After I finished speaking, Li Weiwei suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? Now I understand. Now I conclude that there is a passage under this ancient well, and that passage is the place where Prince Jing was buried. land, because there is..."

"The place where the stars are hidden." Li Weiwei and I said the name at the same time.

If so, it all makes sense.It turned out that Prince Jing chose the place where the stars were hidden, not just to hide himself and Qingyun Ling.It is also to hide this python of practice.

The place where the stars are hidden corresponds to the hidden stars in the sky. It is hard to find in the sky and hard to find in the ground.If this python has been hiding in the place where the stars are hidden, there is indeed a chance to escape the catastrophe.

Li Weiwei and I thought of the place where the stars are hidden at the same time, and connected the place where the stars are hidden with the python that is practicing.

"In this way, the purpose of Prince Jing's coming here can be further deliberated." Li Wei said.

I nodded. We found out that there was Qingyun Token in Lord Jing's coffin before, so we concluded that Lord Jing did not hesitate to leave the capital and come to this remote village just to keep Qingyun Token.As for how the Qingyun Order came to him, he was not sure, because the Qingyun Order was in the hands of the eighteen guardians of the Qingyun Palace.

But now, this cultivated boa constrictor has appeared again, which makes our previous inferences have to be re-judged.

"The most urgent thing is that we need to confirm whether the place under the ancient well and the place where the stars are stored are really connected. If they are not connected, then our judgment is completely wrong." Li Wei said.

"That's right, I think this matter is not over yet. There should be one more thing that you haven't considered." Pang Dahai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said suddenly.

I was taken aback, and asked back: "Fatty, you mean the kid who ran out before?"

Chapter 1845 Exploration Well

Fatty nodded: "Since this python has not successfully crossed the catastrophe, it should not be the same thing as that child."

Li Weiwei said: "Now that the python is dead, there shouldn't be any serious threats down here. We should strike while the iron is hot and go down to explore the ancient well. Maybe we can find some clues."

Fatty and I also agreed to do this, and we all started to organize our equipment, preparing to go to the bottom of the ancient well to see what happened.

"Then, what should I do?" Pei Yingfa said.

I thought for a while and said, "Old Man Pei, the situation below is still unclear, you are not suitable to go down the well with us. Why don't you just stay here and come back to pick you up after we figure out the situation below."

This is the place where Pei Yingfa has lived for decades, so he is of course suitable to stay here.And I also thought about it, if the underground well is really connected to the place where the stars are stored, it is safest for us to place the corpse of the python in the place where the stars are stored.

We brought enough gear in the car, including ropes for the descent.

After hanging the rope by the side of the well, several of us held torches and went down the well one after another.

This ancient well is indeed a dry well, the walls of the well are not wet at all, but because of the perennial drought, there is a lot of broken soil attached.

As we went down the well, the broken soil also rustled down.

We descended a distance of more than ten meters along the rope before we stepped on the ground.

The mouth and walls of the well were not very wide, but after we stepped on the bottom of the well, we found that the area below it was beyond our imagination, which was completely insane.

This further proves our judgment that there is definitely more than just a well down here, there should be a passage.

When the three of us got together, we walked forward little by little with flashlights on.As a result, on the road, pieces of white bones began to appear from time to time.
