The heads of several sects and big families gathered together, whispering, and wondering what plans they were discussing. The weaker families and sects were not qualified to get close, and Li Qingyun and his group were naturally excluded by them.
It was getting late, and Li Qingyun decisively led his people back, not participating in any plans discussed by these sects and big families. Because with his current strength, even if he participated, he would be treated as cannon fodder. He didn't want his relatives and friends to go to waste.
If you die, there will be no benefit.
As for the giant python, it is no longer suitable to appear now. Let the mysterious Snake Valley consume their power first, and then consider whether the giant python should appear to scare people.
When they were approaching a hill on the outermost edge, Li Qingyun and his party saw Ding Hengzhi. He insisted not to leave and insisted on living in a tent in the camp to see how big this giant python was. But looking at his erratic eyes, you could tell.
It's a show, because the ten-meter-plus venomous snake just now has subverted its world view.
Qi Longtu tried to persuade him a few times, but when he saw that Ding Hengzhi was still insisting, he became angry and said coldly: "You also saw the ten-meter-long poisonous snake just now. Even the masters of the three realms of the Zhou family tried their best to escape.
You were lucky enough to save a life, how do you think you compare to the masters of the Three Realms of the Zhou family? You really want to stay here, I will call your grandpa right now, and as long as he agrees, I will turn around and leave!"
"I...you...you don't understand. If I leave, this tourist route will be abandoned! If we can't see the shadow of the giant python, we will stop work completely and delay the opening. How can I explain it to the other major shareholders?
?" Ding Hengzhi shouted like he was mourning.
This investment of tens of billions, with the financial resources of the Ding family, simply cannot support the operation of such a large project, so it is necessary to find two allies. Most of this huge capital comes from bank loans, although their relationship is very strong
, but you have to pay back the money you owe the bank, and the interest you owe the bank cannot be less.
After Ding Hengzhi saw the weird things in the mountains, he felt an ominous feeling in his heart. He always felt that something was going to go wrong. Therefore, even if he was scared to death, he didn't want to leave just like that.
"I don't understand investment matters, but I do understand the dangers in the mountains! If you don't leave, and a venomous snake more than ten meters tall comes out at night, spewing poisonous smoke and venom, I can't guarantee that I can survive it all.
Retreat." Qi Longtu shouted with a cold face.
He probably also saw Li Qingyun and his party passing by here, Qi Longtu deliberately lowered his voice for the sake of face.
Li Qingyun had already sent people to investigate the Xishan tourism project, and it was indeed the case. Otherwise, they would not have used giant pythons to cause chaos and delay their opening indefinitely. When their capital chain is broken and they have to withdraw their investment, they will throw this cornucopia like garbage.
Throw it away the same way.
At that time, getting rid of it early meant plugging the capital hole early. If you didn't get rid of it, the hole would never be plugged. If you can't get the money, you can't start a business, there's only a dead end.
Li Qingyun didn't say a single sarcastic word, let alone persuade him. No matter what Ding Hengzhi did, if he chose to be hostile in the first place, there would be no possibility of reconciliation for everyone.
When they returned to Lijiazhai, it was already dark. Li Qingyun asked Gong Xinghe to go with him to the Spring and Autumn Medical Clinic, and asked the others to return to the farm and make their own arrangements.
What happened today is so weird that we need to discuss it with some masters of the third realm. Even the masters of the third realm can't understand it, so there is no need for practitioners of the second realm to participate.
When we entered the Spring and Autumn Medical Clinic, Chong Chong was running wildly all over the yard. When we looked carefully, we saw that he was chasing the old rooster. It was supposed to be the time for the rooster to go into his den after dark, but he was chased by this naughty child and had nowhere to hide.
Grandma and Granny Fu sat aside, smiling and watching Chongchong's mischief, and cheering him on from time to time. This was simply... so doting on the child.
Li Chunqiu was sitting in the courtyard, playing chess with the little Taoist priest Qingfeng. He sometimes frowned and sometimes sighed because of the noise. He couldn't help but said: "I have to increase his activity tomorrow. The Yunu just sent him today, and I can't bear to do it."
...This doll cannot be taken care of unless it is taken care of."
"Chongchong, what are you doing?" Li Qingyun shouted loudly.
As soon as he heard his voice, Chongchong immediately became honest, but he said: "This rooster is not good. It doesn't go into the nest until dark. I'm helping my grandma catch it."
It was during this delay that the rooster finally took a breather and, with a squeaking sound, took refuge in the tiled nest in the corner.
Li Qingyun didn't believe his son's answer, but he didn't point it out, and asked: "Where is your mother, why hasn't she come to take you back?"
"Mom came early and said that she won't cook today and will order food at aunt's restaurant." Chong Chong ran over quickly and hugged Li Qingyun's thigh.
At this time, Li Chunqiu discovered that Sun Daqi was back, followed by Gong Xinghe. Knowing that they had something to talk about, he asked Qingfeng to pack up the chess and let everyone go into the room to chat.
Yang Yunu just came back with the vegetables. Li Qingyun hurriedly handed Chong Chong to his wife and said, "You look after the child first. I'll go to grandpa's room and talk about something important. I'll explain it to you later."
"Okay, go ahead and tell me in the evening." Yang Yunu knew the reason why her husband went into the mountain today. She guessed that there was something unusual in the mountain again, and she was also very curious.
After entering the room, everyone found a chair and sat down. Qingfeng made tea for everyone. What they brewed was Enlightenment Tea. Everyone was very satisfied. After all, Enlightenment Tea is not too rare now. The supply of one kilogram per month is enough for grandpa.
Drinkable.
"Tell me, what happened in the mountains?" Li Chunqiu didn't like to beat around the bush and said straight to the point.
"The giant python is real. It is really 100 meters long. After investigation, many people have come to this conclusion."
"There is something strange in the Snake Valley. Not only can it control the wind and rain locally, but a red poisonous snake about 12 meters long rushes out and chases Zhou Wanghai, a master of the three realms of the Zhou family... Afterwards, several sects and several big families gathered together to discuss
, seems to be exploring the secrets of Snake Valley.”
"Someone took the complete video. When you have time, you can log in to the Jianghu Forum to view it."
Several people talked and recounted what had happened. Li Chunqiu just frowned and thought deeply, while Qingfeng, the little Taoist priest who poured the water, was so shocked that he almost dropped the teapot to the ground.
"Snake Valley, it is indeed a strange place. That year I went into the mountains for hunting and encountered an earthquake on the edge of Snake Valley. A strange sound almost lured me into Snake Valley... Since then, I have been wary of this place.
." Hearing what everyone said, Li Chunqiu revealed the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years.
Sun Daqi also said quietly: "Actually, I have encountered a similar situation. That year when the educated youth went to the countryside, the student captain who took the lead heard that there was a snake temple ruins in the Snake Valley. He insisted on breaking the feudal system and eliminating the four evils. No one could persuade him.
No, I brought more than 20 activists into the Snake Valley, and finally disappeared completely, not even a bone or scum was seen. The student captain's family had some powerful people, so they summoned many people to search, and some even ordered me to take people into the Snake Valley to search...
…Fortunately, just as I was hesitating, another small earthquake occurred, and many venomous snakes emerged from the Snake Valley, which frightened the people nearby. Since then, we have been solemnly warned by our leaders not to approach the Snake Valley."
"Actually, during the earthquake, I also heard some vague sounds and involuntarily approached the edge of the Snake Valley. If Li Laoer hadn't grabbed me at that time, I would have entered the Snake Valley and turned a blind eye to the colorful venomous snakes inside.
So from then on, when I passed Snake Valley, I always walked around it."
Everyone's backs felt cold when they heard it, and Li Qingyun suddenly asked: "Why do you hear the sound of temptation during earthquakes? When you are close to Snake Valley, you don't hear similar sounds?"
"No, the Snake Valley is usually... well, it's not bad. Except for a lot of venomous snakes, there's nothing particularly weird. So, I heard from you that there was no earthquake today, and there were also weak energy fluctuations, which caused the wind and rain to rise.
The fire in the Snake Valley was extinguished... It seems that the mysterious existence can spread its power without being exposed to earthquakes. Either this mysterious existence is about to escape, or there are cracks in the thing blocking his power.
"Li Chunqiu speculated.
Li Qingyun thought for a while and asked carefully: "I have been to Snake Valley before. Apart from seeing many venomous snakes, I didn't hear any weird sounds. What is the seductive sound you heard? A woman's voice
?”
"Go, what nonsense are you talking about, you idiot!" Li Chunqiu laughed and scolded, "The voice is like a dream, and you can't even be sure whether it is true or not. You can't tell whether it is a man or a woman. Anyway, as soon as you hear it, you can't help but
You are suffering from hysteria, as if you have lost your soul, walking into the Snake Valley step by step... You have no memory of the process in between. Therefore, after waking up, you will feel extremely terrifying."
Li Qingyun suddenly asked: "You have already walked into the Snake Valley, wouldn't you be more affected by the sound? Why can you still wake up?"
"It's luck. Poisonous snakes appeared in the valley, attracting mountain eagles and falcons. Their sharp screams woke me up." A look of fear flashed across Li Chunqiu's face.
Gong Xinghe was silent for a long time and suddenly said: "Since many people have encountered strange phenomena, it means that there must be strange existences in the Snake Valley. I wonder if a human with great supernatural powers is trapped, or a poisonous snake has become a spirit? In your local area,
Isn’t there any relevant legend?”
"Yes, Qinglong Town, Qinglong Town, is said to be based on this snake temple. When there was an earthquake, thousands of snakes came out, and the people were frightened. Later, a Qinglong appeared, intimidating the snakes, and got into a big hole in a valley. Ten thousand snakes
Then it was hidden, with no intention of harming anyone. People thought of its merits and built a magnificent snake temple at the entrance of the cave. Incense continued to be made year after year, and tributes continued year after year. Until... During the warlord war in modern times, the snake temple became a
There was a ruins.
Later, during that special period, some people even wanted to clean up the ruins. I don’t know what happened, but the ruins remained as they were. The time when the educated youth incident happened, that was the last time people wanted to clean up the ruins of the Snake Temple, until today."
Gong Xinghe asked again: "In other words, you locals don't know how the Snake Temple became a ruin?"
Li Chunqiu replied: "I really don't know. Ever since I was a child, I've heard that it was the ruins of the Snake Temple, and I haven't heard adults say how it was destroyed."
"Since Snake Valley is so mysterious, don't we really want to go take a look tonight? Even if we don't go in, at least we should wait and see from the nearby top of the mountain for a while? Otherwise, those big families and sects will get benefits, and we won't even get the news. Then it's time
How pitiful." Gong Xinghe seemed to want to explore the secrets of Snake Valley, and said with some reluctance. (To be continued.)
