Kirin family

The black snake grows very huge, and its scales are shimmering under the light of Huozhezi. The big lantern Qi Guanyan saw just now are its eyes, perhaps because it has lived in this dark and secluded secret passage for too long. , it seems to be very sensitive to the light source, because Qi Guanyan and Gu Ya didn't dare to get close to the torch held up by Qi Guanyan, it didn't dare to approach them until Gu Ya's torch was darkened, and approached them while their torch fell to the ground, now After being illuminated by the fire light from the new spot, he immediately spat out the snake letter, showing a threatening behavior.

Seeing that it wasn't a ghost, Qi Guanyan was much calmer than before. In his eyes, this huge black snake was far less frightening than an ethereal and ethereal soul.

"Is this also City Lord Su's temptation to you?" Qi Guanyan approached Gu Ya and whispered: "This thing doesn't look very friendly?"

"I'm afraid not," Gu Ya frowned and said, "Su Ning probably doesn't know that there are such creatures living in the secret passage used to save lives in Yunyang City... After all, this secret passage is for the people of Yunyang City to escape for their lives. Useful, this... the black snake stays here, and when the people of Yunyang City come in, I'm afraid they will all be buried in the snake's belly."

Qi Guanyan nodded, and Suning looked very meek, he didn't look like a person with vicious thoughts at all, probably because the secret road opened halfway up the mountain, because of the unique geographical location, he didn't add a cover or plug to the pipe What's the matter, no one has passed by for a hundred years, so the black snake found an excellent hiding place.

Seeing that the black snake looked like it was about to attack, Gu Ya raised Ti Liuyun Sword a little bit, and prepared to block it. The black snake looked terrifying, and the liquid on its body was as strong as corrosive silkworm silk. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with.It's fine if he's alone, it's hard to say if he can get away with Qi Guanyan.

Qi Guanyan lightly pressed Liuyun's sword hilt: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Gu Ya slightly turned his head to look at Qi Guanyan, Qi Guanyan changed his trembling appearance just now, and became a lot calmer.

"Most of the animals in the world are spiritual. This snake has such a huge body that it may have lived for nearly a hundred years. Although it can't speak human language, it may not be a cold-blooded monster. A creature like this is either a monster or a ghost. Look at it I have lived here for so long, and no one has come in for a hundred years. I have never heard of any missing people or animals in Yunyang City. I am afraid that no human life has been hurt. Besides, our firefoil just fell, and it swam from the wall. In the past, although I got pregnant with my gloves, it may not be intentional to harm others, otherwise wouldn't it be better to just eat me?" Qi Guanyan compared the snake's eyes and figure, and felt that this thing could be regarded as a kind of friendship between him and him. It was not difficult for Gu Ya to swallow it together.

Although Gu Ya didn't speak, she retracted her sword a little bit, and her eyes drifted to Qi Guanyan's body.

"Killing it will only increase the crime..." Qi Guanyan licked his lips: "It has lived here for so long, and the moss on the ground is also grown by it, I am afraid that it has long regarded this place as its own. Home, we trespassed on it, but it just followed us and did not attack directly, presumably it just looks a little scary, not necessarily ugly in heart.”

The snake was spitting out the snake letter, but seeing Qi Guanyan dimming the light of the dark fire Zhezi, and seeing Gu Ya put away the sharp weapon, he also slowly put the snake letter back, just lingering on the dome of the secret path, Looking at them not near or far.

"We just want to borrow a word." Qi Guanyan hesitated. The Qilin family believes in the destiny. This black snake is not an ordinary creature at first sight. Although it has lived here for a long time, it has never seen human beings, and it may not understand human beings. Qi Guanyan didn't know if his words had any effect: "I have no ill intentions towards you."

The black snake didn't know if he really understood, or if he realized that the two people were really just trying to borrow a way, the half of his body hanging from the top of the secret passage paused, and then stuck back to the top of the secret passage, as if He hesitated for a moment, and swam in from above.

Gu Ya looked at the interaction between Qi Guanyan and the black snake with a blank expression. It seemed incredible to him, but it would be best if he didn't do anything. With such a big snake, he couldn't even see where its tail was. , how easy is it to find Qiinch?What's more, the liquid on its body is not a simple thing. The silkworm silk has melted. If it splashes a drop or two, I'm afraid I won't get any benefit.

When the black snake's tail also swam over Gu Ya's head, Qi Guanyan whispered: "Do you know why I don't let you fight it?"

Gu Ya shook his head, he really didn't know.Although everything has animism, human beings will always have some ideas that "people who are not of our race must have different minds", let alone talking to a snake.

Qi Guanyan secretly winked, motioning Gu Ya to look down.

Gu Ya lowered his eyes slightly, and only then did he realize what Qi Guanyan meant.Just now when Qi Guanyan squatted down to look at the moss, he found that beside the steps of the secret passage, near the ground, there were many holes.At the beginning, he thought it was the "faith rats" that Gu Ya mentioned earlier made the hole, but he immediately realized that something was wrong.There are no more than [-] places connecting Yunyang City with the foot of the mountain, and there are countless small holes densely packed on both sides of the steps, some are bigger and some are smaller, and the height is only up to a person's ankle, so they didn't find it all the way down.The holes were arranged too densely, which made Qi Guanyan feel a little creepy.

It was only when the black snake appeared that he finally understood what these small black holes were.

What Gu Ya saw was exactly what he thought of. Small black heads were now exposed in these small black holes, and each head had two "little beads" glowing with light yellow light. to the "hissing" sound they make.

The big black snake is not a solitary spirit, it has thousands of "believers".

"If we fight with that big black snake," Qi Guanyan said in a low voice, "Of course we won't lose, but as the saying goes, the King of Hades loves little ghosts, so how can we count the little snakes here? We don't know them either. Whether we carry that liquid with us or not, just looking at the amount is enough for us to drink a pot."

Gu Ya nodded, these snakes were different from ordinary creatures, they had almost no breath, if it wasn't for the hostile "hissing" sound, he probably wouldn't have noticed the huge number of black snakes.

"Furthermore..." Qi Guanyan leaned against Gu Ya. Fortunately, the secret passage was built very spaciously. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "City God" of Yunyang City, although it cannot control the merits of life and death, it must also protect the city from the destiny."

Qi Guanyan glanced at Gu Ya, then laughed at himself and said, "I know you don't believe in these things... destiny or something... but I do, you will know when you look back, if one day this black snake dies, Yun I'm afraid Yang City won't last long."

Gu Ya was taken aback, these words sounded a bit like a curse, but Qi Guanyan said it lightly, but his face was serious.Gu Ya didn't believe in the fate and the like, but once this kind of thing was connected with the Qilin family, it seemed to be a lot more credible, otherwise no one could explain why the people of the Qilin family were only those with the destiny. Combining will give birth to a child with red auspicious clouds.

Qi Guanyan finished speaking as soon as he finished speaking, and walked down the steps lightly, trying not to look at the small holes all over the steps, because it looked really scary.

After walking for about another hour, the slope of the steps became more and more gentle, and the steps became wider and wider. Qi Guanyan looked down and saw that the small holes beside the steps had disappeared from nowhere, and the ground had also become dry. There are clean stone steps on the ground, and the entire secret passage is clean, similar to the place they entered.

The big black snake never reappeared after it wandered away, maybe the secret path has hidden holes, or maybe the black snake made a hiding place by itself, in short, neither Qi Guanyan nor Gu Ya felt the breath from it anymore .

At the end of the secret passage is a door, that door can allow two adult men to pass side by side, but the height is very short, Gu Ya has to lower his head to pass through the door.

Gu Ya knocked on the door according to what Su Ning said, three long and one short, there was a response from outside the door, Gu Ya knocked on the door twice, the door finally "squeaked" It opened, and there was a thin and short old man standing at the door. The old man was wearing coarse cloth clothes. The door was very tall for him. He was hunched and only reached Gu Ya's waist. He looked as thin as a stick, like a dry bone. But it was an iron crutch.

"I didn't expect to see the owner of Liuyun Villa again in my lifetime." The old man coughed a few times, looking out of breath, and said intermittently: "The last time I saw the owner of Liuyun Villa was 70 years ago."

Although Gu Ya didn't know who he was, but still saluted him as a junior, Qi Guanyan looked at the old man curiously, secretly guessing his current age.

The old man also looked up at Qi Guanyan: "It's from Qilin's family."

Qi Guanyan was taken aback, if a person saw the red auspicious clouds on his body and recognized him as a member of Qi Guan's family, it wouldn't be surprising if he said he was a well-known man, but this person knew that he was a descendant of Qi Guan when he saw his face, I'm afraid he also knows a little bit about fate and facial expressions.

"Wrong hug?" The old man originally squinted his eyes, but now he rolled up one eyelid and looked at Qi Guanyan.

Qi Guanyan was taken aback for a moment, although Gu Ya didn't quite understand whether it was "wrong report" or "wrong hug", but he was clear that this person probably understood a little, maybe he was a "magic fortune teller" like Qian Youcheng.

"Qian Youcheng is my apprentice." The old man said tremblingly as if he could see what he was thinking, and then walked back on crutches, motioning for Gu Ya and Qi Guanyan to follow.Although Gu Ya was full of doubts, he still tried his best to endure it and slowly followed his pace.

Qi Guanyan paused, looked back at the dark secret passage, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Living here is not a long-term solution, if you can, take your children and move away."

The old man in front seemed to have heard his words, and he stopped for a while, then raised his eyelids and glanced at Qi Guanyan.
