Yang Yan said: "Didn't you report to the government? ”

Qi Laohan said: "How can it be set up, but the government only comes to collect taxes and rents, and doesn't care about this matter at all." What else is it that is a thousand-year-old python spirit, how can mortals fight it? He also told us to pay tribute to them on time and not to provoke them. ”

Yang Yan had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head when he heard this, and said, "Then why didn't you think of asking a mage or something to get rid of it?" ”

When Qi Laohan heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Wan, be quiet, don't talk nonsense, last year, Dongxi Village on the other side of the mountain pooled money to invite a dragon and tiger real person Wang Tianguan, that is, to do a way to ambush the python god, that Wang Tianguan ate and drank in Dongxi Village for several days, but as soon as he entered the mountain forest, he met the python god, and he was swallowed by the python god in one bite. In the evening, the python god took his subordinates to Dongxi Village to make a big fuss, killing fifty or sixty people before he stopped. Since then, who would dare to ask someone to subdue the python god. He looked outside the door again and whispered: "The person who drove away just now just now just ran to the village chief, saying that he was going to subdue the python god and asked the village chief to find someone to show him the way." If this is known to the python god, will it cost us the lives of the whole village? That's why the village chief called for someone to drive him out of the village. ”

As he was talking, Yang Yan and Xin Huan were also listening attentively, but at this time, the two little tigers kept screaming. Qi Laohan stopped and didn't talk about it, looked at Xiaohu, and said with a smile: "These two little guys are afraid that they are hungry, but they are still young and can't eat meat, I will go to the small hotel at the east entrance of the village to get some rice soup for them and feed them, you just sit at home for a while, and I will come back when I go." ”

Yang Yan hurriedly took out two pieces of money from his baggage, handed it to Qi Laohan, and said, "Old man, then please buy some wine and food by the way, and come back, let's eat together in the evening." ”

Qi Laohan excused himself for a while, and finally took the money and went out to buy wine and food.

After Qi Laohan left, Xin Huan asked Yang Yandao: "Brother Wan, is what Uncle Qi said true?" Is that big python really a python into a sperm? ”

Yang Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know if what he said is true or not, but I have never believed in anything like demons and monsters." But if it was really a python, it wouldn't have eaten me when it was confronted by the waterhole just now. So I think it's just a normal python, but it's a lot bigger. But it's not a python. Isn't there a person who is particularly tall among people? That's not surprising. ”

Xin Huan nodded and said, "What about its subordinates?" What's that? ”

Yang Yan smiled: "That's not something, it should be dressed up as a person." The green-faced fangs, indigo face and red eyebrows, and the horns can all be transformed, haven't you seen the singing? The important point is that didn't Uncle Qi say just now, it has always been the subordinates of the python god who are talking, but no one has really heard the python god speak? Therefore, I speculate that a group of people caught a huge python from there and found a way to control it, so they took advantage of the ignorance of the mountain people here and pretended to be a ghost. ”

Xin Huan said: "How did they control the python? ”

Yang Yan said: "Do you remember? When I was confronting the python by the waterhole, didn't I hear a whistle and the python left? That must be the way to control the python. And you see what they want the village to pay tribute to, wine and meat or something, it's reasonable, if it's really a monster, what do you want money for? It's something that only people can use. ”

Xin Huan said: "Then why do they still want a girl every month?" ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly: "This Russian doesn't quite understand, maybe he wants to use the girl to feed the python?" In fact, Yang Yan knew in his heart that this girl was obscene with the Gong group, but it was not easy to say it to Xin Huan, so he had to be vague.

Xin Huan lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Wan, can you think of a way to help them, just now by the waterhole, that python didn't dare to bite you, you must be able to kill any python, and I can also help you." ”

Yang Yan smiled: "Which python are you going to kill?" Aren't you afraid? ”

Xin Huan said: "Actually, I am also afraid in my heart, but when I think that the people in the village here have been deceived by them, and they have to sacrifice a girl to feed the python every month, I ...... I'll just ......"

Yang Yan nodded, this little girl's knowledge is really kind. In fact, after listening to what Qi Laohan said, he has been thinking about how to help the villagers get rid of the big python and that group of people. However, he is not a reckless person, the art of war "plans and then acts", and he will never act lightly until he has a plan for his work.

Yang Yan stood up and said, "You just stay in the house, I'll go out for a while." ”

Xin Huan said: "Brother Wan, you are going there." ”

Yang Yan said: "I'm going to find the person who was driven away by the village chief just now, doesn't he also want to get rid of this big python?" Let's see if he can help us. After such a short period of persuasion, he shouldn't be able to go far? You are watching Xiaohu at home, if Qi Dayu comes back, don't ask him what his father-in-law is, just say I'll go outside for a walk and come back in a while. ”

Xin Huan nodded and said, "Brother Wan, you have to be careful." ”

Yang Yan unfolded his body and galloped in the direction where the man went, and sure enough, he didn't walk three or four miles before he saw the man's back.

Yang Yan was just about to call him, when he suddenly saw the man's body turn, pulled out his long sword, and stabbed at Yang Yan. The two of them were five or six zhang away, he drew his sword, turned around, and took out his sword almost in one go, and in the blink of an eye, a little cold star had stabbed in front of Yang Yan.

Yang Yan knew that he had misunderstood himself, but this person's sword came too quickly, and he couldn't wait for his explanation at this time, so he hurriedly stopped Ning's body, dodged the blade, and at the same time pulled out the "Wind Forest Volcano" and rolled up the heavy sword, slashing at the man in green clothes.

With a sound of "block", the swords struck each other, and the two of them took a step back. At this time, Yang Yan saw clearly that this person was also very young, and he was only afraid that he was about the same age as himself. However, judging from the few actions just now, this person's swordsmanship seems to be very clever, Yang Yan wanted to try his real martial arts, and then waved the long knife, and used the "one drum" sword light like a match in the air, slashing towards the man in Tsing Yi.

The man in Tsing Yi did not show weakness, and the long sword turned into a sword shadow in the sky, like the Yangtze River, endlessly, rolling in. Thirty-six swords were stabbed in a row in one breath.

The sound of swords colliding with each other was endless, and after the thirty-six swords were stabbed, the sword momentum of the people in Tsing Yi did not decrease, and they stabbed out another thirty-six swords, like a mountain and a sea, and pressed down on Yang Yan's head. Yang Yan only felt that the other party's sword followed one sword after another, and there was no frustration between the swords and the swords, so that people did not have the slightest chance to breathe. Coupled with the erratic steps under his feet, with the wonderful body technique, it seems that the sword is uncertain, virtual and real, which is difficult to figure out.

Yang Yan no longer has a long knife "Wind Forest Volcano" has also used a sword as a weapon before, but the actual knife technique is still used. During the expedition, I also saw Zhao Yueru use a sword, she made a free school of swordsmanship, pay attention to light and skillful, such as flowing clouds, swinging freehand. But the swordsmanship of this Tsing Yi man is completely different, not to mention the unpredictability of reality and reality, and what is even more terrifying is that after the sword momentum is unfolded, the competition is like a rapid wind and rain, which is flawless and unguardable. Encountering such an opponent, Yang Yan couldn't help but lift his spirits, and the "Wind Forest Volcano" also turned into a heavy sword shadow and attacked it.

The sword qi and sword are vertical and horizontal, and the surrounding leaves are actually urged by this qi, flying with the wind, and the horses have not fallen, but they are stirred up again.

After the thirty-six swords, the sword momentum of the man in Tsing Yi was still unabated, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and thirty-six swords were stabbed out in succession. There are a total of one hundred and eight swords before and after, almost in one go, but with the same direction, angle, and technique of a sword's stabbing.

Yang Yan didn't fight with him this time, his body was backwards, he jumped more than three feet away, and said, "Stop."

The sword qi in the sky stopped dumbly, and the leaves destroyed by the strength fell to the ground one after another, and the man in green clothes put away his sword and said, "Who are you, why are you chasing me."

Yang Yan said: "My name is Wan Hao, do you want to get rid of the giant python in this mountain forest?" If yes, then we can cooperate."

The man in Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "My name is Ling Xiang, and I came here to get rid of that giant python."

Yang Yan also put away the knife, in fact, the two were of the same age, and they had just fought each other, and they both had some sympathy for each other, Yang Yan smiled: "Brother Ling is good at swordsmanship."

Ling Xiang also smiled: "Each other, each other, Brother Wan's sword skills are also very powerful."

Yang Yan said, "How did Brother Ling know that there was a giant python here?"

Ling Xiang said: "I used to be from Yongzhou, and in the past year or two, I have often heard that there are python spirits in this area, but I have never believed in any demons and monsters, so I came here to investigate, and after a few days of investigation in this area, I thought that someone was pretending to be a ghost, so I wanted to get rid of this gang of scourge for the mountain people in this area, but I ran to several villages, and no one was willing to help me."

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Don't hide it, I saw this python on the road."

When Ling Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback and said, "What? Have you seen this python, when and where was it? Is the legend true?"

Yang Yan told Ling Xiang how he met the python on the road, how he fought against it, and the news he heard from Qi Laohan in the village.

Ling Xiang was also speechless when he heard this, and said, "Yuan Lei really has this giant python, I thought it was made to deceive people. It doesn't seem like things are as simple as Cheng thought, so what should we do next?"

Yang Yan thought for a while and said, "I will spend the night in the village tonight, and I can also take the opportunity to learn more details about the situation in the village. We'll meet here tomorrow morning, and then we'll talk about what to do next."

Ling Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, we'll meet here early tomorrow morning."
