Snake Tale

The heat wave and thunder almost shook the two of them's viscera to burst, their liver and gallbladder shattered, the world was spinning in front of their eyes, and there seemed to be countless grievance ghosts riding on their shoulders and howling in their ears.If it weren't for each other's support and support, they would have fallen to the ground unconsciously.After finally staggering across the "Snake Lake" and stepping on solid ground, he still didn't dare to take his guard lightly and ran to the exit desperately, fearing that the group of snakes would come chasing after they woke up.

The part of his left leg where the giant snake bit him was in excruciating pain, and every step he took felt like he was stepping on the edge of a knife.Luo Yi gritted his teeth and endured, just holding onto Shen Yuzhu's hair and running wildly.But Shen Yuzhu next to him looked flustered and shouted something to himself.His tinnitus persisted, and it took him a long time to recognize it from his lips. He asked repeatedly: "It bit you? Did it?"

"No!" Luo Yi flatly denied.In a trance, I could hear the rustling sound, which was still incessant, as if a group of snakes were rushing, only one step away from them.He was anxious in his heart, knowing that the moment is definitely not the time to calmly heal the wound and remove the poison, he thought: "It is safe to escape from this tunnel! If the snake's teeth are really poisonous... then this leg will be chopped off." That's it!"

He had just made up his mind here, when he was caught off guard by the pain from the wound, he couldn't help but staggered a few steps, fell and sat down, only then did he realize that Shen Yuzhu had kicked the wound on his calf.Luo Yi was startled and angry, and blurted out: "What are you crazy—"

Shen Yuzhu half-knelt on the bed, lifted his lower garment, and when he saw the ruptured sore that was gushing blood, he bowed his head.Luo Yi shuddered all over, until Shen Yuzhu's lips could clearly feel the touch of the wound on his leg, and he was surprised what he was doing.

He suddenly felt the hairs all over his body, pulled him up from the collar of his neck, and said in surprise: "Shen Yuzhu——"

"I've been experimenting with medicine since I was a child, and I'm more resistant to poison than ordinary people." Shen Yuzhu turned his head and spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, saying this briefly.He didn't look up at him, and quickly lowered his head again, continuing to suck the venom from the wound.Luo Yi was as stiff as a snake shaken by thunder, unable to move, he could only stare blankly at Shen Yuzhu's pitch-black hair.

He never saw Shen Yuzhu's face, but he could imagine that this person's usually indifferent lips were now stained with such a bright red and soul-stirring blood.

However, Luo Yi's mind and body were in a state of turmoil at the moment, Shen Yuzhu just didn't notice it.He sucked a few mouthfuls of blood and found that the wound was bright red, and there was no sign of poisoning.Looking at each other again, I couldn't help but wonder to myself: "Both of us are covered in bruises, if that strange snake is really full of poison, why are we fine?"

The two were stunned, and heard a weak and crisp shout: "Master! You are all right!"

It turned out that it was Ping Feiyu who was left at the exit by Luo Yi and stumbled over.After taking the detoxified snake gall, the toxin gradually receded and he woke up slowly. Seeing that there was no one beside him, he hurriedly got up and followed the road to look for it.Seeing Shen Yuzhu's figure at a glance, he couldn't help being overjoyed and shouted loudly.After taking a closer look, I saw two people kneeling on the other bed, both of them walking with strange expressions and restless minds.

Ping Feiyu felt remorseful, wishing to bite off her own tongue, and tiptoe back step by step.But Shen Yuzhu blinked his eyes, came back to his senses, stood up slowly, and walked towards him: "...Fei Yu? Are you - are you feeling better?"

Ping Feiyu responded repeatedly, and secretly glanced back at Luo Yi.Luo Yi remained calm, tore off the hem of his clothes and bandaged the wound by himself, Xu felt his gaze, turned around and smiled at him.

Ping Feiyu shuddered suddenly, feeling a cold snake sprinting across his spine, and thought to himself: "No! I have to get out of here quickly, otherwise... I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow !"

Further outside is a narrow tunnel, the craggy stone walls on both sides rub against the body very affectionately, almost crowding people into a crowd.But compared to the thrilling feeling in the altar just now, this cramped feeling is already an extremely comfortable enjoyment.Especially after walking for half an hour with all hands tied, the bright sky gradually shone down from the cracks in the rocks on the top.Finally, after passing through a waterfall, the stone doors of the cave opened, and a lush forest came into view.The three of them set foot on the ground safely, looked up at the sky and the earth, exhaled freely, and felt as if they were separated from each other for a moment.

It has just rained, and the forest is filled with light mist and the sweet fragrance of buds, and the yellow bird is tenderly flattering its mate at the bottom of the leaves.The thriving spring looks like a plump and enthusiastic beauty in a well-dressed dress, who can't help but bump into her arms.

It's a pity that Luo Yi is equally disgusted with both of them.He hadn't had a full night's sleep for more than ten days, and he had many injuries, big and small, every bone in his body was creaking, his left leg was as heavy as a mountain, and the sweat on his forehead and nose was dripping Rolling down, his eyes were almost glued together - he estimated that the effect of the antidote had expired, so he couldn't help but look up at Shen Yuzhu.That idiot was also generally scarred and covered in blood, but he was lucky enough to be unaware of it, and even Anxian pulled up a messy bun.

It cannot be delayed any longer.Luo Yi thought for sure, and walked to Ping Feiyu's side calmly, and quickly slapped the unsuspecting young boy's neck with his left hand—Ping Feiyu, who was already hungry and top-heavy, made another without any suspense. fainted.

Luo Yi supported him on the waist, and put him on the ground silently.Taking a few steps closer, he was about to attack Shen Yuzhu, but when he saw that the opponent was short and dodged incomparably quickly, he couldn't help being surprised: "What! He can predict the enemy's opportunity?"

"Look!" Shen Yuzhu leaned over and picked up two fat mushrooms, then turned to Luo Yi with a smile and said, "This kind of mushroom is delicious when stewed——"

"..." Luo Yi's hand was still hanging in the air, looking at him with a complicated expression.

The two stared at each other.Shen Yuzhu looked at the unconscious Ping Feiyu on the ground, and his expression gradually became a little embarrassed, as if he was sorry for not being able to stand still and being successfully attacked by Luo Yi in one fell swoop.

Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Luo Yi changed his palm and pointed, and quickly hit the "Shenfeng" acupoint on his chest.Shen Yuzhu's hands and feet were suddenly weak, and he was immediately bullied by Luo Yi and threw him to the ground, with the dagger stuck in his throat at the same time.

Although he felt that it was unnecessary, Luo Yi still put on a cold and ferocious look: "...where is the remaining antidote?"

Shen Yuzhu sighed slowly: "That was a temporary drug." He patiently explained: "I... really only have that one pill that temporarily alleviates the effect of the drug. If you don't believe it, you can buy it in I'll check myself out."

Luo Yi frowned and searched him carefully, and sure enough, he only found the porcelain bottle before, and poured out all the pills in it, but he couldn't find the one he took before.Shen Yuzhu leaned on his arm and let him do what he did, with a gentle and serene expression on his face, he almost fell asleep.

Luo Yi became more and more irritable, and thought: "Forget it! At worst, I will use Ping Feiyu to exchange the antidote with Qin Wei. Although it takes a lot of trouble, it is better than being with Shen Yuzhu...and him...continuing to be entangled!" Holding back his anger, he withdrew the knife and stood up.

"I will burn all your alchemy books," he said condescendingly, with a haughty look on his face, "From now on, you can go wherever you like, and you and I... will never have anything to do with each other again."

Shen Yuzhu slowly turned over and sat up, very confused, he couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, it's clear that you provoked me first, why are you so 'showing mercy' now, as if you want me to be sympathetic?"

Luo Yi sneered and said, "I'm afraid you haven't paid enough—" After thinking about it, since he has decided to sever ties with him, why not let this guy continue to be ignorant?Knowing many things is definitely not a blessing.

He looked down at Shen Yuzhu's eyes.The dark and indifferent clouds dissipated, and the eyes became more and more black and big, moist and innocent——

This is purely innocent and harmless silly roe deer.

Luo Yi felt indignantly in his heart: "I haven't been able to see the nature of this fool for three years! After being provoked by a villain, I wasted so much scheming, and it was in vain to deceive others and myself..."

He shook his head, turned around and left irritably, and said: "One last warning to you: find a place where no one will know and hide your name as soon as possible!" He paused, then looked back at him coldly: " Otherwise, when I regret it and find out that you have shown any clues, I will definitely travel thousands of miles and take your life—"

Shen Yuzhu stood up and said, "Luo Yi, besides you, how many people in this world want my life?"

Luo Yi was startled, and looked at Shen Yuzhu intently, but he saw him earnestly saying: "Luo Yi, please tell me, my master... the mountain chief of Qingyan Prefecture, really died?"

Luo Yi looked into Shen Yuzhu's eyes.What is contained in it is not so much grief as it is an incredible sense of exploration.He weighed his words in his mind, and slowly said: "... More than two years ago, Xuan Weizi died of drinking poisonous wine at the banquet of Song Wengong Guild League. It is still unknown. There are even legends..."

"It is said that I am the murderer?" Shen Yuzhu asked calmly.

Luo Yi looked away, and said: "You are alone and helpless, accusing you of being a murderer is the easiest way to do it. If I were the real murderer, maybe I would do the same."

"At that time, Lord Luo favored me, and I was imprisoned with uncertain life and death, right?" Shen Yuzhu took a step forward and said, "So, isn't Lord Luo the only one in the world who can prove my innocence?" people?"

The corners of Luo Yi's lips curled up in a mocking arc: "Oh, but why should I?" He looked at him with arrogance and sympathy, and said, "Shen Yuzhu...you don't understand anything. Xuanweizi has Tongtianche What are you, a talent from the earth and a cunning plan, but still unable to escape the coveting and calculations of those with a heart? It is futile to entangle this matter. I might as well tell you—the only way to really prove your innocence, It is to make the name 'Shen Yuzhu' disappear from this world."

Shen Yuzhu lowered his eyes and fell silent.Luo Yi looked at his expression and knew that he still didn't believe in Xuan Weizi's murder.He suppressed the inexplicable anxiety in his heart, and said to himself: "This guy is overthinking himself, and wants to block the car with his arms, so what does it have to do with me?" He didn't want to say any more, turned around and left.

"Lord Luo!" Shen Yuzhu called out to him, and said in a low voice, "Are you really... really unwilling to help me clear up my grievances?"

Luo Yi kept sneering and didn't turn his head, but heard Shen Yuzhu say: "Could it be that I, Shen Yuzhu... really don't have any bargaining chips to convince you?"

Luo Yi's heart moved, he frowned and turned around.Shen Yuzhu lowered his eyes, tried to hold his hands, and said softly: "In the past three years... I was restrained by Hongwan, and I fell unconscious every time, and I never served you well..."

Luo Yi imagined the charming Shen Yuzhu between the beds, his heart trembled for a while, and his hair stood still for a while, he couldn't help but snatched his hand back, and said vigilantly, "What trick are you trying to play?—"

"I didn't!...Actually, this matter is not so against my heart, let alone..." Shen Yuzhu frowned, as if trying to remember something: "Besides, after going through the dangerous situation of life and death just now, I remembered a lot of past events We...we've met before, haven't we?"

Luo Yi's heart skipped a beat: "You—"

Shen Yuzhu whispered: "That's right! I remembered, that year...you and I—"

His voice was getting softer and softer, Luo Yi felt uneasy, and unconsciously leaned closer to him.Unexpectedly, her lips warmed up, and it was Shen Yuzhu who covered her lips.Luo Yizheng was startled, and suddenly felt the tip of his tongue pry open his teeth, and handed over a pill.

Luo Yi was shocked, pushed him away, and hastily clasped his throat with his fingers.However, the elixir has slipped into the belly, where is there any room for recovery?He was suspicious of a dark ghost, only felt that his internal energy was draining away like a flood, he was startled and angry: "You—you!" He couldn't help kicking Shen Yuzhu down in the chest, and said furiously: "Shen Yuzhu! You are getting more and more capable Already! This kind of indiscriminate trick—"

Shen Yuzhu covered his chest and laughed loudly, pointed at Luo Yi and said, "Why, are you going to take me back and raise me for another three years? Or are you going to threaten and say that you want to take my life again? He pursed his lips and said with a low smile: "You should know that I can't bear to lose your life; can't I see that you can't bear to either?"

Luo Yi was so angry that he really didn't know what to do.Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of gongs breaking through the air, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Shen Yuzhu away, only to see a feathered arrow shoot from a high place, and hit the ground in front of his feet!

Shen Yuzhu clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "I just said you couldn't bear to--" Luo Yi punched him in the chest and diaphragm, and his breath went into his throat, so he had to hold onto the tree and coughed loudly.

Luo Yi raised his knife and looked around, then raised his voice and asked, "Who is here?"

I saw a figure hanging down from the dense canopy with a "wow".The man's face was wearing a mask of the Nuo God, as delicate as an ape, as swift as a frightened bird, holding a pair of radiant Ziwu battleaxes in his hands, and under the cover of a flock of frightened birds, he rushed towards the two of them.
