Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2004 Daoist Rao Shi (big chapter)
Rao Shi?Bu Zhenxin only now knew the name of the Taoist Priest. He was silent for a moment and said, "Taoist Priest, please sit in the room and let's talk slowly."

Now is a critical moment of life and death. Bu Zhenxin is naturally very happy when a Taoist priest comes out to help.If you kill the snake demon, you will not only get revenge for killing your son, but also avoid worries in the future. Why not?Moreover, this Taoist priest was a popular figure around Prince Li, so Bu Zhenxin did not dare to offend him.

Taoist Rao Shi waved his fly whisk and returned to the living room with Bu Zhenxin.

"What does the Taoist priest mean, do you know the details of that evildoer?" Bu Zhenxin asked his servants to serve tea.

"That's right, the big python that swallowed your son and the snake man that you killed yesterday are brothers. The snake man is your younger brother, and this big python is your brother. They have both mastered the Tao and have a deep level of cultivation." Rao Shi took a sip of tea and said: "The snake man's Taoism is a little lower. I captured him in the south of the Yangtze River and sent him to the capital. But the cultivation level of this big python is much higher. It can transform into a human form and walk around. It’s very difficult to deal with in the city.”

Transform into a human form?Bu Zhen was stunned for a moment, thinking of Mr. She, and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

It seems that the one who ate his own son was Mr. She!The hateful thing is that I didn't know it before, otherwise, I should have swung my knife on the spot and fought this evildoer to the death.

"This snake demon must have grudged you for killing his brother, so he came to take revenge. But if he can't get rid of the root cause, I'm afraid he will come back again in the future. So Lord Bu, think twice!" Rao Shi looked at Bu Zhenxin's face and said .

Bu Zhenxin thought for a while, and finally his desire for revenge took over. Even though he knew there was danger, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward, asking: "Taoist Master, how are you going to help me? What should we do to kill this beast?"

Rao Shi smiled slightly and said: "I am a poor Taoist who came from Kunlun Mountain and studied Taoism since I was a child. It is my duty to drive out ghosts and subjugate demons. If Master Bu is willing to cooperate with me, you have the power of the sword and I have the help of Taoism. Why worry?" Can’t catch that monster?”

"Okay, I'm willing to listen to the Taoist Master's arrangements. I wonder where the monster is hiding now?" Bu Zhenxin clasped his fists.

Rao Shi nodded and said: "In the Western Mountain. Lord Bu, take a rest first. Tomorrow morning, I will second a team of soldiers from the prince to go to the Western Mountain to capture the monsters."

Bu Zhenxin hurriedly agreed: "It all depends on the arrangement of the Taoist priest." With the help of the imperial troops, Bu Zhenxin became more confident.At least there are many people who are braver, which is much better than facing the snake demon alone.

Making an appointment to meet again the next day, Taoist Master Rao Shi waved his sleeves and left.

Bu Zhenxin forced himself to calm down, recharge his batteries, and wait for tomorrow's battle in Xishan.

Early the next morning, Taoist Rao Shi straddled his horse, changed into short clothes, carried a sword on his shoulder, and was full of energy.

The two of them didn't exchange much greetings, and immediately set off for Xishan.Bu Zhenxin also rode a green horse and kept pace with Taoist Rao Shi.

The soldiers seconded from the palace had already gone to Xishan.

Along the way, Bu Zhenxin and Taoist Rao Shi galloped on their horses. When the sun was three strokes high, they arrived at the foot of the Western Mountain.

A group of soldiers with swords and guns, about 500 people, each armed with a bow and arrow, stepped forward to obey orders. The leader was a general named Wei Minghai.

Taoist Rao Shi didn't say much. He waved his hand and asked everyone to follow him and headed into the mountains.

Bu Zhenxin followed Rao Shi, and found that the road under his feet was getting more and more remote. The ancient trees in front of him were towering, but it was the most secluded area of ​​Shiziling in the West Mountain.

After passing through a mass grave, everyone came to a forest.

"President Wei Qian, ask the brothers to surround this forest, with their bows and arrows ready, and to be ready." Taoist Rao Shi looked around and said, "Everyone should anoint their feet with sulfur. Don't be careless."

Wei Minghai waved his hand, and everyone prepared their own preparations. Sulfur and other materials were already prepared.

Seeing the formation of the soldiers, Rao Shi waved his whisk and led Bu Zhenxin towards the woods on foot.Another group of soldiers, about 30 to [-] people, followed with packs on their backs and bows and arrows.

It was already noon, but the darkness in the forest made it look like a dusk scene.

After walking for about ten minutes, a big tree appeared in front of it. It took three or four people to hug it to surround it.

Moreover, this big tree grows close to a stone wall, and even a small half of the tree body is embedded in the stone wall.

Rao Shi made a gesture to signal everyone to stop.

"Taoist Master, is that beast here?" Bu Zhenxin was excited, holding the blood-swallowing knife tightly, and asked in a low voice.

"It should be around here, wait for me to see." Rao Shi drew out the sword behind him, pulled grass to look for snakes, and walked forward slowly.

Bu Zhenxin naturally followed behind, cautiously.

The two walked to the giant tree and found a large tree hole on the left side of the giant tree.The hole is smooth, and it is obvious that things often come in and out, so the friction makes it look like this.

Rao Shi approached slowly, twitching his nose slightly, and then asked Bu Zhenxin to step back.

"Taoist Master, is that beast hiding in this tree hole?" Bu Zhenxin asked excitedly.

Rao Shi nodded and whispered: "But there must be other exits for the snake demon hiding in the tree. Brother Bu, take a few archers and jump up the stone wall and look around. If you find the snake demon, If you want to escape, take everyone to chase it, and look in the right direction. I will start from here and lead the snake out of the hole!"

Bu Zhenxin nodded, called to the four archers, climbed up the stone wall from the side, and waved to Rao Shi below.

Rao Shi also raised his hand to show his understanding.

The stone wall is about five or six feet high, with no grass growing on it and a broad view.

The four archers each held sounding arrows, designated four directions, and were ready.

The purpose of using sounding arrows is to inform people.For example, if the boa constrictor rushes to the east, the sounding arrow will be shot to the east. You can judge the escape direction of the boa constrictor based on the sound.Rockets also have such a function, but we don’t dare to ignite them here to avoid alerting the enemy.

Bu Zhenxin stood in the middle of the four archers. His sword was not unsheathed, but there was already murderous intent in Bu Zhenxin's eyes.

Seeing the preparations above, Taoist Master Rao Shi also started taking action.

He opened the large package brought by the soldiers and took out several cloth bags.

The cloth bag was relatively long, like a pillow, and was filled with sulfur powder.Because pythons are afraid of sulfur, this can be regarded as the right medicine.

Taoist Rao Shi threw the bag pillow into the tree hole, and then lit a huge two-kick in the tree hole.

boom……

The giant tree shook, and sulfur powder sprayed out far away from the tree hole.Needless to say, more sulfur powder was sent deep into the tree hole.

Taoist Master Rao Shi held a sword in his hand and looked nervously at the tree hole while listening to the movements around him.

But after the loud noise, there was no movement around.

Rao Shi beckoned, and the soldiers sent another cloth bag pillow and a second kicker.

Taoist Rao Shi repeated his old trick, feeding the tree hole for the second time.

After the second cannon exploded, there was a rustling sound inside the giant tree.

"Archers, get ready, stare at the tree hole, and shoot when the python shows up!" Taoist priest Rao Shi jumped aside, waving his sword and shouting.

The accompanying soldiers responded immediately, drew their bows and arrows, and surrounded the tree hole in a fan shape.

Bu Zhenxin, who was standing on the stone wall, was even more nervous and excited, and a cold sweat broke out on the handle of the blood-swallowing knife.

rustle, rustle...

The statues of gods inside the giant tree are getting closer and closer, and the tree trunks are swaying like a strong wind.

clack clack...

Suddenly, the upper part of the tree trunk shook violently and broke from the upper part of the tree hole. The trunk and crown of the tree fell down with a sound of wind.

The soldiers who were watching in front of the tree with their bows and arrows ready, each shouted and fled in a hurry.

If that giant tree falls, it will kill people. Who dares not to hide?
Even though everyone ran fast, there were still two people who were hit by the canopy and passed out with a scream on the spot.

Rao Shi also jumped to the side with his sword, shouting: "The monster has come out, shoot arrows, shoot arrows!"

Because when the giant tree broke just now, Rao Shi had already seen a bucket-sized snake head flashing out of the tree hole.

Because the snake's body is still in the tree hole, the snake's tail cannot move freely. Attacking at this time is to attack the enemy halfway across the river, which is greatly beneficial.

The archers who avoided the big tree turned their heads one after another, the bowstring sounded, and the feather arrows shot one after another, and the sound of swishing was endless.

The boa constrictor's head has completely poked out of the tree hole, its two triangular eyes are looking viciously in all directions, its bloody mouth is wide open, and snakes more than three feet long are flying and hissing.

Whoosh...

More than a dozen archers fired arrows one after another and greeted the snake head together.

"Shoot its eyes, shoot its eyes!" Rao Shi shouted.

Because the snake's head is protected by scale armor, these strong bows and crossbows have no lethality in front of the scale armor.Only the snake's eyes are the weakest. After being shot, it can maim the big snake.

But the big python has become a spirit and has extremely high spirituality.Its head was swaying from side to side, and all the arrows were shot at positions that did not hurt or itch. None of the arrows hit the snake's eyes.

Rao Shi shouted anxiously, but he didn't dare to step forward.

Bu Zhenxin, who was on the stone wall, naturally heard the movement.But he was on the stone wall and was beyond reach.Because this side is condescending, it is a steep wall with a height of five or six feet, so it is impossible to jump down.If you take a detour elsewhere, you will lose time, and you will also be afraid that the python will suddenly withdraw and escape through other channels.

Therefore, Bu Zhenxin was also anxious and looked down, but because of the angle, he couldn't see where the snake's head was.

The archers' arrows gradually became sparse, and the python's body swam more than three feet outward. The snake's head drooped, and soon it would all come out.

Rao Shi pulled a sulfur package, tied his legs to it, lit it, and threw it at the python.

However, the python is extremely flexible, and with a sudden swing of its head, Jin managed to knock the package away before its two kicks exploded.

"Set rockets, launch rockets!" Rao Shi shouted with his hands burning with anxiety.

Burning with fire is also one of the previously set strategies.No matter what kind of monster it is, as long as it has form and substance, it can always be burned to ashes in a fire.

The archers withdrew partially, drew out their rockets, lit them, and shot towards the snake demon.

Rao Shi saw the opportunity and threw a skin bag at the big snake.The skin bag contained tung oil, which was used to light lamps in the past.There was no gasoline in those days, so it would have been convenient.

Whoosh...

woohoo hoo...

The rockets and arrows hit at the same time, and the skin bag was penetrated before it even hit the ground.The oil overflowed, and the fire gradually began to burn, surrounding half of the giant tree.

"Hahaha, damn goblin, let's see where you run away this time!" Rao Shi thought he had a plan and looked up to the sky laughing.

But unexpectedly, this fire stimulated the snake demon and aroused the potential of snake eyes.

"call……"

In the midst of the blazing fire, the snake's head suddenly thrust forward, and at the same time, it opened its mouth wide and exhaled a huge stream of air.

The stench of the wind was unstoppable, and the archers were hit by the stench, each of them vomited, their arms were weak, and their bows and arrows all hung down.

The ones with weaker resistance had slowly fallen to the ground and fainted.

"How dare you, monster!" Rao Shi was horrified and retreated with his sword.

call……

There was a loud noise, and the python finally crawled out of the tree hole in the light of flames. It raised its head and chased Rao Shi.

Passing by a few unconscious archers, the big python rolled its tail and made a few snaps, whipping those archers so badly that they were bloody and bloody!
"Brother Bu, help, don't be up there, come down and help me!" Rao Shi was so frightened that he circled and rushed towards the stone wall where Bu Zhenxin was.

Bu Zhenxin never received the order and remained at his post on the stone wall.

At this moment, when he heard Rao Shi screaming in embarrassment, he quickly drew his knife in his hand, rushed down from the side, and shouted: "Beast, give back my son's life!"

Hearing Bu Zhenxin's voice, the boa constrictor seemed to be taken aback, and also paused for a while.Rao Shi saved his life because of this, and finally opened the distance.

"Are you okay, Taoist priest?" Bu Zhenxin met Rao Shi head-on and asked hurriedly.

"I'm fine, come on brother!" Rao Shi shouted.

Bu Zhenxin held the blood-swallowing knife in his hand, and the killing intent in his chest was boundless, so naturally he was not afraid, so he agreed, missed Rao Shi, and swung the knife to strike at the python!
Now they met on a narrow road, and one person and one python happened to meet each other.

"Hiss!" The big python opened its mouth and spat at Bu Zhenxin.

"Bastard, give back my son's life!" Bu Zhenxin swung his knife and slashed at him with red eyes.

The big python was bluffing. When it saw the blood-swallowing knife coming, it turned its head and backed away.

"Where to go!" Bu Zhenxin slashed down with his knife, hitting the snake's body in the middle, breaking off several palm-sized brown scales.

The big python was in pain, its long tail rolled up, and it whipped towards Bu Zhenxin.

Bu Zhenxin hurriedly blocked it with his sword, and heard a clanging sound as the snake's tail intersected with the sword.

Bu Zhenxin couldn't withstand the force and was whipped backwards, almost losing his grip on the sword in his hand.The snake's tail could not withstand the sharpness of the blood-swallowing knife, and a large gash was cut, dripping with blood...

With a bang, Bu Zhenxin fell to the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his vision went dark, and he almost fainted.

Rao Shi watched from a short distance away and was horrified, shouting: "Brother Bu, hold on, this is a life and death battle, don't slack off! I'm here to help you!"

In fact, Rao Shi didn't dare to step forward. He shouted like this just to cheer up Bu Zhenxin.

The big python succeeded with one blow and turned around again, trying to completely destroy Bu Zhenxin.But seeing that Bu Zhenxin's sword was still in his hand, the big python also hesitated.

"Come on, evildoer!" Bu Zhenxin stood up with difficulty while supporting the sword, staggered, and rushed towards the big python.

"Roar..." The python's head retracted, then suddenly stretched out and sprayed poisonous gas towards Bu Zhenxin.

But Bu Zhenxin also had no regard for life or death. He jumped up and struck out with his knife at the snake's head.
