Although Miss Ding could not detect the traces of a martial arts master from Shangluo, she could not continue to dissuade him since the other party insisted, and the three of them walked all the way outside the city.
After asking some passers-by on the road and roughly knowing the location where the "snake demon" appeared, a few people followed the directions and hurried there.
As we walked, we came to a forest in front of us. The bare branches left faint traces of fighting, and the snow on the ground also left embossing patterns of the movement of big snakes.
Lu Hanjiang leaned down and observed the mark. No wonder he said it was a demon. Judging from the outline of the mark, the body of the big snake should be as thick as a basin. It was estimated to be more than ten feet long. Not to mention that ordinary people thought it was a monster when they saw it.
Even if ordinary people in the world see monsters, they probably can't do anything about them.
Lu Hanjiang was surprised now. Miss Ding didn't seem to have practiced any advanced martial arts. How could she have the confidence to say that this big snake was nothing to worry about.
"Well, Xiaolu...there can't really be monsters, right?"
Shangluo was a little afraid of coming to the rescue and grabbed Lu Hanjiang's clothes. She shuddered as she looked at the traces left by the big snake on the ground. Such a big snake might be able to swallow her with a sip of wine...
..
Lu Hanjiang bent down and whispered in her ear: "Take it easy, you are a heroine with unparalleled skills. Don't panic, let Miss Ding figure out the flaw when the time comes."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Xiao Lu, you are still kidding... Xiao Lu, if there is a monster later, you must take me with you when you run away. I have very little flesh.
Yes, I’m afraid I won’t be able to feed the monster even if I feed it, so don’t leave me here..."
Although Shan Luo's pitiful eyes did not impress Lu Hanjiang, this girl's outrageous intuition actually guessed his thoughts. For a moment, he did consider that if there was a monster, he would immediately feed it to someone and then run away.
idea.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shangluo was half-deathed by the traces, the real owner appeared, and a snow-white python came out from behind the three of them with a hissing sound.
"There really is a monster! It's still white! Could it be that White Snake has escaped?"
Shangluo screamed in panic and began to talk nonsense. She was about to cover her eyes and run back, but was held in place by Lu Hanjiang.
"Don't worry, heroine, Bai Suzhen is still holding you down under the Leifeng Pagoda next to your house."
These playful words miraculously calmed Shangluo's panicked heart. She tried hard to restrain her fear of the big snake and opened her eyes. In the lightning flash, a stone flew out from her feet, and then the big snake
He let out a shrill scream.
"oh?"
Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes. He had planned to cut off the snake's head just now, but unexpectedly, the big snake narrowly avoided the stones he kicked at the last moment and only scratched a line on its huge body.
A few wounds.
The lightning-like attack was so fast that no one else noticed the problem. Miss Ding didn't panic when the big snake appeared. On the contrary, it was the big snake that hurt her that made her look worried.
"Both of you, please wait a moment and do it——"
"stop!"
Just when Miss Ding stood up, another woman's voice came out from behind the big snake. Immediately, a girl in strange clothes landed in front of the big snake using elegant Qinggong.
I can see that its clothes are very different from those in the Central Plains. The dark black cloth pointed hat is embellished with scattered beads and jade. The purple-black dress highlights the slender waist like snow dancing in the wind, and a veil covers the face.
Only a pair of dark jade-like eyes were left, sparkling and moving.
This woman stunned everyone as soon as she appeared on the stage, and Miss Ding quickly knelt down and bowed: "Ding Yao has met senior."
The woman was originally surprised as to why Miss Ding gave such a great gift. After hearing her name, she nodded in understanding: "So it's you. I haven't seen you for several years, so I can't recognize you."
"The younger generation was taught whipping techniques by the elders. This feeling and kindness will not be forgotten."
Ding Yao's words solved Lu Hanjiang's doubts. It turned out that this woman in strange clothes was the one who taught her martial arts. Thinking about it, this big snake might also be hers...
Seeing Ding Yao, the hostility in the woman's eyes dissipated somewhat, but the painful sound of the big snake whimpering still made her frown.
At this time, it was Ding Yao who came out to save the siege. She stood up and said, "Senior, these two are friends of this junior. They fought back because they were frightened. Junior will go back to the city to get gauze and wound medicine. Please don't blame senior.
"
"...Since it's a misunderstanding, let's forget it."
To say that this strangely dressed woman was actually very angry when she saw her beloved pet being severely injured. The reason why she was willing to let go was because of the intercession of an old friend, Ding Yao, and because she really couldn't see through it.
The depth of these two people.
Seeing that the other party was willing to let go, Ding Yao confessed and hurried back to the city to get the medicine. At this time, only Lu Hanjiang and the woman were left.
I saw the woman first caressing the big snake's head to stabilize its mood, and then said to the two of them: "I'm Caiwei, I just chased a demonic person here, you two...?"
Hearing that she didn't report to the mountain gate, maybe she was a loose person, or maybe she wanted to keep it secret. Lu Hanjiang took a brief note and then said with a smile: "Oh, in Xialu... On the 11th, this is my sister. I heard there are rumors that there is someone outside the city.
The snake demon is out and about, so I came to take a look."
Hearing the word snake demon, Na Caiwei sighed and said: "I was reckless in this matter. I was thinking about chasing the demonic person, but I forgot that it was as scary as a demon in the eyes of others, and I accidentally caused it.
Such rumors come out."
Shangluo had already calmed down over this matter. In fact, after seeing Lu Hanjiang kicking a stone and beating the big snake until it was bloody, her fear of this "monster" completely disappeared.
She stared at Caiwei without blinking, and said curiously: "Sister, this dress is so beautiful, I have never seen it before."
"I'm from the Miao border, and people from my clan rarely leave their hometown. Miss Lu must have grown up in the Central Plains, so it's normal for her not to have seen her before."
After all, it was just a misunderstanding. Now that everything had been said, the snake's wound was more serious and it was not life-threatening. So Caiwei was not a petty woman, so she no longer cared about the past.
After going back and forth, she became curious about the opponent's heels: "Xiaobai has been spiritual since he was a child, and now he has grown so big. Normally even four or five thieves can't hurt him at all, but the young master has such power when he strikes.
Your martial arts skills are truly extraordinary, but where does your master come from?"
Lu Hanjiang smiled and said: "Miss Caiwei misunderstood. I don't have the power to restrain a chicken, but my little sister has excellent martial arts skills. Oh, by the way, my little sister didn't strike lightly or harshly. I will apologize to the girl."
After saying this, Shangluo glared at him covertly several times. Xiao Lu was such a liar that he never forgot to use her as a shield when he lied to others.
"It turns out it was Miss Lu who made the move just now?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Caiwei's eyes, and she sighed: "I judge people by their appearance. Miss Lu, please forgive me."
"Sister Caiwei, you're welcome." She already took the blame, so Shangluo naturally accepted the praise without any courtesy.
Lu Hanjiang interrupted at the right time and asked: "By the way, Miss Caiwei just said that she was chasing people of the devil's way. I don't know where the evil people came to Yunxi City?"
Caiwei didn't hide anything, she said: "He is a disciple of Xuehua Palace, his name is Linglong."
