Your Majesty's Grace

The road to Wangyang Mountain was not steep, it could even be said to be very flat, and the two of them had been up the mountain for a while, but they didn't see a single snake, as if it was a rumor that there were many snakes in Wangyang Mountain.But it makes people feel a cold conjecture: there are indeed snakes in Wangyang Mountain, and there are leading snakes. I can't see them at this time because they already have discipline. Lianguo does have hope, but It shows that this trip is more dangerous.

Zhao Shugong also seemed to sense something was wrong, and he took every step very cautiously. Although the imperial physician described the appearance of the lotus fruit before leaving, there is no way to know where it is, how many it is, and the predecessor of the lotus fruit is Baishen Fruit, Baishen fruit is common, but it has been licked by giant pythons, so I am not sure.

"...be careful"

"The widow knows"

"The dream I had before...was dreaming of you...something happened"

"Don't be too superstitious, maybe it's just a coincidence." Zhao Shugong comforted him, but how could nonsense's worry be just because of a dream?He always had an indescribable feeling. This feeling had appeared once before he blew up the imperial study, and the familiarity made him even more uneasy.

The two tensed up and walked for half an hour, more than half of the way, but they still couldn't see the lotus fruit, not to mention the python, not even a single animal.

Zhao Shugong only felt that his feet were stepping on the ground, and when he came back to his senses, he had already fallen into a big pit. It must have been a trap left by the hunters in the past. Now that he was occupied by snakes, Zhao Shugong was trapped in it.

"Are you okay?" Hu Yan leaned over and looked at him and said

Zhao Shugong raised his head, subconsciously cast a glance around, and was about to say nothing, but when he raised his head, he froze

"nonsense"

"What's wrong? Come up quickly"

"do not move!"

"What... what's the matter"

"Hold still...listen to me"

"Jump down!" The moment Hu Yan jumped down, the giant python closed its mouth and bit empty. Zhao Shugong successfully caught the jumping Hu Yan.He turned his head and saw a giant python behind where he was standing just now!If he hesitated just now, he must have been decapitated.

"I'm going... this can't be that century-old python." Could it be the essence of playing hide-and-seek?I didn't see it when I first entered the mountain. Where did this recklessness come from...

The giant python spit out the red letter, and stared at Hu Yan and Zhao Shugong with terrifying snake eyes, as if thinking about how to swallow them, but it kept wandering around and did not come down.

"I said why didn't it come down all the time? It turns out that there is sulfur." ​​Hu Yan sniffed while talking.

Although snakes are afraid of sulfur, sulfur can't hurt them. God knows if this boa constrictor will rush down from hunger and madness.Zhao Shugong seemed to be thinking about how to escape, but Hu Yan was lying on the ground, picking up fallen leaves from time to time to listen to the movement

"what are you doing"

"I heard it said in the drama that when a hero falls into a deep pit or a secret room, there will be a secret passage."

"..."

Zhao Shugong didn't take his actions seriously, turned around, and visually measured the distance between the height of the cave and the python, as if he was thinking about the possibility of escaping.

"Ah...ah!!!" When Zhao Shugong turned his head, Hu Yan had already fallen into a small hole beside the deep pit. His cry startled the python, and Zhao Shugong could only follow into the small hole that was only big enough for one person to pass through. The small hole, the front half of the body just went in, only then did I know that there was a steep slope inside, and I didn't know what was on it, it was just slippery, my hands couldn't support it, and I slid to the bottom. The distance should not be short, but the fall didn't hurt, Zhao Shugong When I got up, I saw that Hu Yan was just pressed down by him.

"It's broken, it's broken..."

Zhao Shugong got up from him and saw that the ground was covered with a thick layer of weeds. When he looked up, he found that it was another cave, and it was very empty. Looking up, there were several dead snakes hanging on the top of the cave.

Zhao Shugong pulled nonsense and continued to walk forward. A sickle-like weapon fell on his feet. If Zhao Shugong hadn't avoided it quickly, there would be a big hole in the back of his feet at this moment.

"!!"

"!!"

"Are you (you) human?" Hu Yan and the man in front of him exclaimed in unison

"Oh...my name is Qinghe, I am a hunter. When I was young, I had no money to marry a wife. I heard that snake skin was expensive, so I ran to Wangyang Mountain. I was almost killed by a snake. When I found this place, I almost ate everything I saw, and inexplicably cleared the poison of the snake, but the number of snakes grew more and more, and I didn’t have a chance to go out.”

After listening to the purpose of this trip, Qinghe expressed his experience with a little emotion. Qinghe seemed to be in his thirties, which made people feel a little embarrassed. He was only in his teens when he entered the mountain, but now he is already It's [-] years old, even if I have the chance to go out... I'm afraid it will be different

"Don't be too sad..."

"Oh... I'm not sad for a long time. I've passed the difficult time. Living here is... very comfortable. By the way, what kind of fruit you mentioned, maybe I can recognize it."

Without hesitation, he used black charcoal from the cave to draw the shape of a lotus fruit on the bi

"This! I have a lot"

"what?"

With ecstatic nonsense, Qinghe walked to a side hole of the cave, it must be a dried snake, Qinghe rummaged through the dried snake, and casually took out several hundred ginseng fruits

"No...this is not a lotus fruit, the lotus fruit is black"

"Oh, then there's nothing I can do. I've been here for so long, and this is the only fruit I've seen. Don't worry, you'll always find it." Qinghe tried to comfort Hu Yan

"I wonder if brother Qinghe can tell us about the surrounding environment?"

he's good at this

"I found this cave by accident. The place you entered was also the place where I entered for the first time. Here..." Qing He led them to another sub-cave, and even his voice became much quieter.

"Up here is a snake's nest. I took advantage of their hibernation to secretly catch snakes and come back to feed themselves."

No wonder there are so many snakes at the entrance of the cave, they were collecting grain

"You said it was a snake's nest, but have you ever seen a giant python?"

"I've seen it before, the giant python... I don't know how to count it as the giant python you mentioned"

"But these fruits also grow around the snake's nest. When I go to catch snakes, I will bring back some of them. These fruits will not rot. Several times after the snake meat is finished, I rely on them to survive until the next one." winter

"Then now, is it time for them to hibernate?"

"Not yet." Qing He shook his head and said, "Snakes in the Snake Country are different from snakes in other places. Their hibernation time is only half of that of other snakes, and their sleep time is much later."

"Then... about how long it will take"

"It should be the beginning of winter at this time, and it will take half a month at the earliest."

"too long"

"If you are in a hurry, it's not impossible, it's just a little dangerous..."

"Brother Qinghe, it's okay to say"

"You come with me" Qing He said and took them to a side cave, which was full of snake skins, a cave full of snake skins! !

"I remember one time, there was really nothing to eat, but it was just winter, and I knew they hadn't hibernated yet, so in order not to starve to death, I took a chance and surrounded myself with snake skin. Cover up my smell, most poisonous snakes will sleep at night, and most of the crawling ones are non-venomous snakes"

Hu Yan and Zhao Shugong just looked at each other, and they had already made up their minds to act tonight. Qinghe took them to the last side cave. This side cave can be said to be the smallest of all the side caves, only enough for three people to stand. But inside, it is the most important thing, a pool full of sulfur

I really don't know whether to lament Qinghe's good luck or bad luck. He was trapped in the Snake Mountain and couldn't go down, but he found a residence at the right time and place...

"Come on, come on, I haven't seen anyone for a long time, today, I want to let you have a taste of my craft"

Hu Yan was full of expectations at first, but when Qing He came out with a table full of snake soup, grilled snake meat, fried snake meat, and eaten snake meat, he understood what it means to have greater hope and greater disappointment...

That's right...Snake Mountain...

Hu Yan had indeed eaten snakes when he was a wanderer, and the snake meat tasted pretty good, so he wasn't too taboo.Zhao Shugong has never been afraid of these things, not only does he not have the slightest fear, but his eating is still the same as when he was in the palace

But Qinghe brought up a plate of snake gallbladder again...the nonsense is really unbearable.

"What does this man have to do with you? He looks so noble." After just getting along for a while, Qing He could see that Hu Yan and Zhao Shugong were kind-hearted, so he only dared to whisper to Hu Yan, but he didn't dare to talk to Hu Yan. Zhao Shugong spoke.

"Pfft haha, Qing He has really good eyesight, let me tell you... he is super rich, it's not a problem to buy the palace"

Qinghe looked at Zhao Shugong with eyes full of awe, maybe Zhao Shugong has reached a height that he never had when he was young...

"If you have anything to say, just say it well." Zhao Shugong tidied up the snake meat and handed it to Hu Yan.

"Don't worry, I'm a very dedicated person. Don't be jealous, Shu Gong."

"..." Zhao Shugong resisted the thought of covering his face with a bowl, and continued to lower his head, eating snake meat

Qinghe:? ? ?Am I so far behind?I don't understand why they say
