"Brother, look at its claws! It's different from a dog, but more like a tiger I've seen!" Xuezi squatted on the ground and said to Chen Guan.
Chen Guan hurriedly touched the little monster's neck with his hand, and saw that it was breathing very weakly. There were countless injuries on its body from just rolling down a cliff of fifty or sixty feet. Its fur exploded, and there were several wounds, all of which had a slight ooze of blood.
When he came out, the fur on his body was dyed red, but he did not suffer serious or fatal internal injuries. He also saw that the little monster's claws were more than twice as broad and thick as those of ordinary dogs of this size, and there were five or six inches of hard sharp armor on the claws.
, now completely hidden in the thick fleshy claws.
"I have never seen a little monster like this in all of Japan! I'm afraid my master has never seen it either!" Yukiko didn't recognize it, but she still reached out to pick up the little monster and gently combed its fur.
, clean away the fur stuck to the blood from the wound.
The little monster opened its eyes and looked at Chen Guan and Xuezi. It was difficult for him to shake his neck, but his eyes seemed to be very grateful. They didn't know what it was thinking, but they heard a "Gulu...Gulu..." at the same time.
The sound came from inside its belly.
"Ah..." Chen Guan said with a smile: "I think it is very hungry! Its belly is completely flat!"
Yes, I'm afraid it has been sealed within the formation. It will only wake up after the Japanese flattened two mountain peaks. No matter it is any mythical beast, if it has been sealed for more than two thousand years, it will be hungry.
Terrible, thin and weak, let alone such a small little monster?
"No wonder it screamed so weakly! No wonder it couldn't even stand steadily and fell directly from the edge of the cliff cave!" Chen Guan couldn't laugh or cry. No matter whether they are humans or animals, they have no strength once they are extremely hungry.
.
He was busy picking up a bloody little hare from the animal carcass and bringing it to the little monster's mouth. The little monster just sniffed it with its nose and then closed its eyes with no intention of eating.
Chen Guan hurriedly changed the dead mountain deer. Xuezi smiled first and said: "Brother, these beasts come to save it, but it won't eat! I think it is very smart."
"Yes, let's change the poison!" Chen Guan laughed: "The little guy is quite affectionate and righteous! But I'm afraid that these poisons are too toxic! He won't dare to eat them!"
He picked up a headless centipede and a tailless scorpion with a branch and brought them over to prevent the poison from harming the little monster. The little monster still shook his head and looked at the group of corpses of long snakes and fire toads over there. Chen Guan had no choice but to
He dragged out the body of a three-meter-long flower snake and placed it in front of the little monster's mouth.
This time the little monster finally reacted!
It tried its best to keep its eyes wide open, opened its mouth slightly to reveal its sharp teeth, but did not step forward to bite directly. Instead, it stretched out its right front paw tremblingly, grabbed the snake a little lower in the middle of the abdomen, and trembled.
Grasp.
Xuezi was puzzled, but Chen Guan understood instantly: "It turns out it wants to eat snake gall!"
Chen Guan grew up alone since he was a child. He is not afraid of snakes in the mountains. He often encounters snakes while collecting herbs on the top of the mountain. He usually avoids them when they meet, but there have been several times when snakes tried to attack Chen Guan.
Guan and Chen Guan also beat the snake to death with stones and wooden sticks without ceremony.
When he later went to town to sell Chinese herbal medicines to pharmacies, the pharmacies’ shopkeepers sometimes asked him to buy snake gallbladders at high prices. Chen Guan once killed two snakes to get the snake gallbladders, but later found that they were too bloody and hurt animals, making it difficult to practice spiritual practice, so he stopped killing animals and gave up.
.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Chen Guan to remove the snake gallbladder.
"Xue'er, it's up to you!" He stepped on the snake's tail with his foot, pulled up the snake's head with his hand so that the softest belly of the snake faced up, and then inserted the sharp branch in his right hand slightly behind the snake's neck and anus.
, slowly reached down, and indeed touched a round object that was slightly solid and had a rolling feeling. He understood that it was the gallbladder, then dropped the branch, reached into the gallbladder with his right hand and carefully pulled out the snake gallbladder, because he understood that if
If you use too much force, the snake's gallbladder will break, the juice will be smelly and your hands will be dirty, and your work will be in vain!
"It's so disgusting! Brother, this must be snake gall! I heard Master said that snake gall is extremely bitter and is a good medicine for healing, but I haven't liked the fishy smell since I was a child and have never taken it." Xuezi
He smiled and said that he had clearly seen that the snake guts in Chen Guan's hands were as big as peanuts, green in color, and smelled of blood.
Chen Guan looked at the little monster. He held back the smell that made him want to vomit, and brought the snake gall to the little monster's mouth. Unexpectedly, as soon as the little monster smelled the snake gall, he immediately opened his eyes, opened his mouth and took a big mouthful of Chen Guan's gallbladder.
Guan swallowed it in his hand.
You should know that snake bile is extremely bitter when entering the mouth. The little monster held it in his mouth for half a minute and suddenly started chewing it. His mouth was filled with green snake bile. It was obvious that the snake bile had been bitten and the bile was extremely bitter. However, in its mouth, it seemed like this
Snake gallbladder is not bitter at all, but is the most delicious food in the world. It eats it with gusto, just like the rain comes after a long drought, and then it swallows it all with a slight raise of its neck.
"Strange things, strange things!" Chen Guanxi said: "I have seen too many puppies since I was a child, but this is the first puppy that likes to eat snake bile!"
After the monster ate the snake gall, it still looked at Chen Guan pitifully. Seeing its helpless look, Chen Guan couldn't help but smile, and then picked two green snake galls for it.
"Don't worry, we won't eat the snake gallbladder, it's all yours!" Chen Guan smiled.
The little monster pricked up his ears slightly, as if listening to Chen Guan's speech, but his eyes were still timid. He took a piece of snake gall with his mouth and ate it with relish.
After a few minutes, it swallowed cleanly and did not eat the third snake gall in Chen Guan's hand. Instead, it closed its eyes to rest.
Xuezi and Chen Guan both saw that the monster's stomach was digesting and beating much more vigorously than when it was starving to death. They knew that the monster was slowly getting better!
"Brother, it's not a dog! It didn't eat the third snake gallbladder." Xuezi said softly: "In addition to my master playing with my senior sister, the only thing I had in Japan was the shaggy dog toy I brought from home. When I was six years old, my master
Seeing that I was lonely, he gave me a puppy to play with. I was very happy. However, after only half a month of raising the puppy, the puppy died!"
Chen Guan was surprised: "Why?"
"It's because of me!" Xuezi's eyes turned red: "Because I don't know that a puppy doesn't know how to feel full. I saw that it liked to eat dried peaches from the bottom of the mountain, so I fed it a lot. When I got up the next morning
At first glance, I saw that its belly was hard and bulging, and it was bloated to death! From then on, I never dared to raise a puppy again!"
Chen Guan nodded. Sure enough, this monster was not a puppy.
"It's so bloody here. Brother, please collect more snake gallbladders first, and then go up the cliff. I'll hold the little monster up first!" Xuezi relaxed her nose slightly and said with a smile: "Previously, all the toads, centipedes and scorpions were smoked to death and then fell into the cave.
, only the long snake falls off the cliff after death, so the little monster cannot eat the snake gall in the cave, so it has to kick it off the cliff to eat the snake gall."
Chen Guan nodded and watched Xuezi jump up and grab the long vine and go away. He turned around and took out more than a dozen snake gallbladders from the corpse of the long snake, and then took it back to the cliff.
When they returned to the cliff, the little monster seemed to have fallen asleep. Xuezi put all the snake gallbladder in a bowl, and then gently wiped and cleaned the dozens of scratches on the little monster with very gentle movements.
Chen Guan washed his hands and stayed quietly watching Xuezi's actions. He liked the tranquility in the mountains very much and was very satisfied.
"Huh?" Suddenly Xuezi exclaimed softly.
Chen Guan woke up and asked: "Xue'er, what's wrong?"
Xuezi happily pointed at the little monster's right front paw and said, "Brother, look, what is this?"
Chen Guan saw that the little monster had a layer of fleshy pads on its wide and thick claws. He understood that with this layer of fleshy pads, the little monster could walk silently. However, now there seemed to be several deep scars in the middle of the fleshy pads, but after a closer look,
Only then did I realize that the scar had already grown into the flesh. It was not an injury sustained this time. The scar still had the Chinese character "九".
"This wound is strange, it actually looks like a Chinese character, a 'nine'!" Chen Guan said: "If the little monster was really sealed in the formation cave two thousand years ago, this wound was two thousand years ago!
"
Xuezi shook his head, but his expression was very happy: "Of course you don't know, brother! I started feeding Crane King when I was three years old, my master taught me Taoism and literacy when I was four years old, and I started flying on a crane when I was seven years old. It was my first time
I was very nervous during the flight. I hugged King Crane's long neck tightly and even took off several neck feathers of King Crane. I hurriedly lifted the feathers on King Crane's neck into a mess. However, at the same time, I saw King Crane's neck.
There is a word on the flesh that is similar to the scar on the little monster now!"
"What word?" Chen Guan asked hurriedly.
"There is a word 'seven' in the crane king's long neck!" Xuezi continued: "After I got off the crane king, I hurriedly told the master, but the master knew it for the first time, and had never seen it before. The master hurriedly looked up the founder of the sect.
He then quietly told me with a smile that when Qin Shihuang sent people to bury the twelve golden men, he not only gave each of the nine tribes one of the nine secrets of Jiejiao, but also found the twelve holy spirits descended from the sky.
Together, these twelve holy spirits were birds and beasts, all of which were rare in the world. Qin Shihuang named them the "Twelve Holy Spirits of the Zhenguo" and invited a great heavenly king to seal the twelve holy spirits of the Zhenguo with numbers! This sect
The Crane King was granted the title of 'seven', but I didn't expect that this little monster actually had the title of 'nine'."
Chen Guan was astonished. He had seen the Millennium Crane King. His wings spread were more than two feet. He could fly thousands of miles in a day, and people could ride on cranes. His abilities were really great, but he didn't know how good the little monster was. He could actually do it.
Received the title "Nine"?
"Nine is the polar yang in the number!" Chen Guan couldn't understand: "The little monster actually has the character nine on it."
Xuezi wiped the little monster's wound clean, and Chen Guan, who was proficient in Taoist Qihuang techniques, hurriedly applied some silver leaf grass juice to the wound, which soon stopped the bleeding and scarring. When they washed the little monster's bloody hair and dried it,
The little monster woke up.
I saw it opening its eyes and sniffing vigorously at Chen Guan and Xuezi several times. It was seriously injured and very weak, and it was still unable to move.
