Chapter 108 The Civet's Wonderful Steps (2)
In the jungle, the weak prey on the strong, and they compete to win by force. Gu Zhen's ingenuity and ingenuity are useless in the face of such ferocious beasts. He can only muster his courage to survive.Fortunately, he likes challenges and is willing to take risks. The closer he is to life and death, the more he can stimulate his own potential. Therefore, he was angry at the beginning, but after several fights, he became very interested. Going deeper, subduing the beast to control the strength, and gradually have more strength.Especially after taking purple lucidum, I feel lighter every day, jump higher, run faster, and punch and kick are all heavy and fierce.The tigers, leopards and wolves who had suffered so much on this mountain suffered numerous casualties in just a few days, and even if they were not killed or injured, they were beaten so dizzily by Gu Zhen that they fled with their tails between them.

On this day, Gu Zhen chased away a fierce tiger, and his body was so exhausted that he couldn't see Fomalhaut's Gate, so he sat down and closed his eyes to fall asleep.After sitting for about a while, his heart skipped a beat. He had fought against wild beasts for the past few days, and he had an abnormal perception of the danger in the jungle. Zhan Ran.

"Thief cat." Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Here's the food delivery again?" Before he finished speaking, a chill ran through his whole body.Gu Zhen suddenly turned around, only to hear a sharp sound, like a chick crowing dumbly, "swipe", a snake head drilled out of the grass ten feet away, as big as a bucket, with a bucket-thick snake body behind it, with purple scales all over its body, Up to seven feet.

Even though he was so calm, he couldn't help opening his eyes wide when he saw this snake. Seeing the strange python "chichi" spit out a message, a snake formation coiled up and down like a whirlwind, and the blood-red snake eyes quietly stared at Beiluo. teacher door.

Fomalhaut loosened the door, suddenly raised his front paws, and swept Zizhi far away. "Hey", the snake's head swung, and it rushed towards Zizhi.

Fomalhaut deliberately threw Zizhi to lure the boa constrictor to bow its head.As soon as the snake's head was lowered, it jumped out and swung its claws to chop down. Unexpectedly, the wind rose suddenly, and the thick snake tail swept towards it. Fomalhaut's gate was not stable, and it was thrown far away by a thousand-ton force.It rolled over and fell to the ground, its body like a bow, and it let out a scream, and a terrifying and fierce light burst out of its eyes.

"Swipe", the strange python turned his head, stared at Gu Zhen, and screamed, as if very angry.It turned out that the purple lucidum that Gu Zhen took was originally a rare treasure between heaven and earth. It was shaped by the aura of mountains and rivers and the essence of the sun and the moon. It took hundreds of years to take shape. Wounds that don't heal.Because of its supernatural powers, beasts coveted it, and after a fight, it was finally occupied by this strange python.

Fomalhaut is also a spirit beast, and knowing Zizhi's whereabouts, relying on his small size and wit, he took advantage of the strange python to go out to look for food, and went to steal it.The strange python didn't notice it at first, but Fomalhaut was so greedy that he not only ate it himself, but also brought it back to give away to others.Zizhi is rare in the first place, and there will be very little left in a few days.After the strange python was aware of it, it was furious, it didn't eat or drink, it lurked near the lair all day long, and when it went to Fomalhaut's gate, it encountered it immediately.

The strange python has a thousand-year lifespan and is so supernatural that it is difficult for Fomalhaut to win even if they try their best.This cat is strong in action, and will never give up until it takes advantage of it. It cannot win, so it forcibly snatches away a purple lucidum under the snake's kiss.The strange python refused to give up and followed it all the way.Gu Zhen also ate purple lucidum, was contaminated with the scent of purple lucidum, and when the python smelled it, he was so angry that his huge mouth opened wide, revealing a pair of fangs like long swords, he swung his head, and rushed towards Gu Zhen like lightning.

Gu Zhen hurriedly made the "elvis step" dodge the snake's kiss, jumped on the snake's neck, and punched it down. Unexpectedly, when the snake's head flicked, Gu Zhen felt as if he had been electrocuted, and hundreds of bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.Fortunately, he has practiced for many days, and he is much more agile. When he landed on the ground, he was swept by the tail of the snake.

With a sharp cry, Fomalhak jumped onto the snake's back and grabbed the snake's body violently, but the snake's scales were so thick that only five faint white marks remained.The strange python was very afraid of the civet, he abandoned Gu Zhen, and came head to tail, Fomalhaut didn't dare to force him, he jumped away lightly.

The two sides are as fast as a whirlwind, fighting back and forth.The monster python is extremely powerful, agile in offense and defense, with one enemy against two, it will not fall behind.While dodging, Gu Zhen pondered: ""Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: "The one who is reckless is the snake of Changshan. If you hit the head, the tail will come. If you hit the tail, the head will come. If you hit the middle, both the head and the tail will come." This snake is about It's something like 'Shu Ran', the coiled snake array echoes from head to tail. The most urgent thing is to break its snake array." Turning his gaze, Zizhi was not far away, and the strange python and Fomalhaut were fighting bitterly, and it was too late to take it back.He changed his mind, raised his eyes to look again, and saw a towering juniper tree in the distance, surrounded by three people, higher than the forest surface.

Gu Zhen used the "elvis step", picked up Zizhi on the ground, and went straight to the juniper tree.The strange python was furious, and then gave chase, but Fomalhaut harassed him from the side, the strange python fought and ran away, and chased to the bottom of the juniper tree.Gu Zhen had already climbed to the treeside.The strange python wraps around the trunk and swims up the tree.Gu Zhen was climbing in front of him, hearing the "chi chi" sound of the snake getting closer and closer, he couldn't help feeling weak in his limbs and unable to climb.Suddenly hearing a meow, Fomalhaut jumped onto the snake's head and clawed at the snake's head, bleeding from the left eye of the strange snake.

The strange python coiled around the tree trunk, unable to reach the sky, unable to descend to the ground, unable to respond from head to tail, the formation of snakes broke immediately.Once the snake formation is broken, you can neither shake your head to shake off your opponent, nor swing your tail to attack the enemy, and your vitals are exposed to Fomalhaut's claws.Its left eye was damaged, and it was extremely painful for a while. It reversed its body shape and wanted to retreat, but Fomalhaut's mouth was aimed at the wound at the corner of the eye, and its body swelled several times. as ever.Such swelling and shrinking, forced to blow a breath into the wound.A large lump swelled up on the head of the strange python, and the swelling grew bigger and bigger. The strange python let out a scream of "Chichi", as if it was in great pain.

Gu Zhen saw it in his eyes and secretly praised it.The strange python has been aged for a long time, and its scales and armor are strong and thick. Even if Fomalhaut has the means of splitting the bones and tendons, it is still difficult to tear the snake's skin.This time, the snake's eyes were caught by surprise. Once the python returned to the ground, there would be no thought of hurting it. Unexpectedly, Fomalhaut's ingenious technique of blowing air through tiny wounds caused the python's skin and flesh to separate, causing unprecedented suffering. Some were hit hard.

The sound of snoring was endless, Fomalhaut was shaped like a bellows, its body swelled and contracted unsteadily, constantly blowing in air.The strange python swelled up, let go of the tree trunk, and fell heavily to the ground.Fomalhaut won the power and refused to give up, allowing it to roll over, hugging the snake's head and blowing.The body of the python swelled and thickened, and when it fell to the ground, it could no longer be twisted as it was before. It was strange that the python was in unbearable pain, and wished it could die, let alone coiled into a snake formation.

After a while, the snake's body more than doubled in size, its belly was as big as a drum, and its eyes protruded.Only then did Fomalhaut jump away, curled up to the side, panting.Gu Zhen was afraid that the snake's nature would be too long, and he would bite back when he was about to die. After a while, seeing that it was dead and motionless, he slid down the tree.

Gu Zhen looked at the dead snake, feeling incredible.I also think that these few days I have been among animals, away from the world, and I have enjoyed the joy of a hermit, but the grievances have not been cleared, and the lives and deaths of Lu and Yao are unknown, so it is really not a good time for leisure and entertainment.Now that the "elvis step" is a small success, with the help of civet cats, and the different snakes are awarded the head, there is nothing to be afraid of powerful enemies from all sides.Thinking about it, Gu Zhen suddenly felt a sense of pride, picked Fomalhaut on his shoulders, and strode towards the south.

After walking all night, the sound of the rooster announced the dawn, and the sky and the earth slowly brightened in the dawn.Gu Zhen stands at the mountain pass, looking out as far as the eye can see, the flat forest is deserted, the smoke is like weaving, the smoke from the thatched cottage is as light as ink, and a few traces of blue are drawn in the dome. , without bounds.

Seeing the mundane scene for the first time in many days, Gu Zhen suddenly sighed in his heart: "This vast world is just a chessboard, and all the living beings in it are just Shuanglu chess pieces in the hands of the Creator, and they are at their mercy..." Sighing for a long time, he walked down Shan Gang, groping around, has nothing. After being captured, Bai Xiangyao confiscated all his belongings. Fortunately, he was prepared and hid the Imperial Seal and the Ring of the God of Wealth elsewhere, so that he did not fall into the enemy's hands.

Gu Zhen asked passers-by and learned that Tongcheng was not far away, so he thought to himself: "In the past few years, Zhao Shouzhen, Jiang Chuanzhi, and Yao Zhonghang in Tongcheng have all made a lot of money. If I don't beat Fengfeng, I really don't show loyalty." With a slight smile, he walked along the road, and soon entered Tongcheng, and came to the "Zhenzi Silk Village" in the east of the city.This silk farm was opened by Zhao Shouzhen, the richest man in Tongcheng. From raw silk to embroidery goods, everything was collected and resold. Sericulture farmers and weavers with a radius of hundreds of miles depended on him for their lives.At this time, the crowd was full of people, merchants came in and out, in Gu Zhen's eyes, these merchants were not real people, but huge ingots rolling in and out, looking very comfortable.

Just as he was about to enter, the clerk at the door saw that his clothes were dirty and torn, so he stopped him and shouted, "You beggar, what are you doing?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "I'm buying silk." The clerk glanced at him and said suspiciously, "This village only does big business. If you want to buy satin for clothes and scarves, I advise you to go straight along the street, turn the corner, and the third from the left is the silk and satin shop.”

Seeing the snobbish corners of the guy's eyes, Gu Zhen smiled and said, "A dog's eyes look down on people, how do you know grandpa doesn't do big business?" The guy snorted twice, his expression very cold.Gu Zhen glanced at him, and went straight in, the clerk reached out to stop him, Gu Zhen shook his body, the clerk blocked the air, Gu Zhen was already behind him, jumped up, sat down on the counter, and shouted: "The shopkeeper , shopkeeper."

At this moment, the whole room was shocked, the shopkeepers and shopkeepers shouted and cursed in unison, Gu Zhen stepped on the counter with a muddy foot, and shouted: "Why, is this a shop selling satin, or a martial arts gym?" Everyone was stunned, and the shopkeepers separated The crowd asked, "Do you want to buy satin?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "That's right, let's buy [-] pieces of satin first to wipe your feet."

The shopkeeper showed a sullen expression, and shouted: "You are so rude! Don't say that Xiaozhuang doesn't have so much in stock, even if he does, how can there be any reason to use it to wipe his feet?"

"It's a small business after all!" Gu Zhen waved his hand, "Okay, I'll buy a piece of satin." The shopkeeper said impatiently: "Okay, buddy, give him one and send him out." A clerk brought a satin Gu Zhen didn't even look at the satin, he threw it on the ground and said with a smile: "Send the beggar? The satin I want is different."

The shopkeeper saw that although his clothes were torn, his speech and behavior were unusual, and he felt strange, so he couldn't help asking: "Why is it different?" Gu Zhen smiled and said: "The satin I want is five feet long, four feet wide, and weighs half a tael. Do you have it in your village?" The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he shook his head and said, "Where is this kind of satin? It's five feet long and four feet wide, and it weighs a few catties, and only weighs half a tael. It's unheard of." Gu Zhen said with a smile: "You don't, Zhao Shou really does."

The shopkeeper's face changed again, and he hesitated: "Dare to ask me who is..." Gu Zhen smiled and said: "Don't care who I am, just tell Zhao Shouzhen that someone has asked him for the 'Tian Sun Jin'. If you don't give it, get it first." 2 taels of silver came out."

The shopkeeper was suspicious.Zhao Shouzhen really has a piece of "Tiansun Brocade", which is five feet long and four feet wide.Zhao Shouzhen was cited as the treasure of the town house, but very few people knew that this person openly came to ask for it, either he was an enemy, or he was a very good friend of Zhao Shouzhen.If it's a friend, I can't afford to offend him. The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "If I don't report my identity, how can I sue the master?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Just tell him that the grandfather with the eight-character head is here." The shopkeeper didn't know Gu Zhen's details. , not daring to be negligent, found a buddy, and whispered a few words.

After the clerk left, Gu Zhen sat on the cabinet with his legs crossed, looking around with a smile on his face. Everyone inside and outside the Silk Village was a head shorter than him, like a Bodhisattva on the counter.

Gu Zhen made a fuss for a while, feeling bored, suddenly saw three people coming in from the door, young and old, all three were stunned when they saw Gu Zhen sitting at the counter, one of them shouted: "Shopkeeper, take sixty horses of the best quality." Colorful satin."

Gu Zhen's eyes were sharp, and he saw three silver threads embroidered on the waists of the three people, which were the marks of the innate hexagram "Qian".He recognized this picture from the Tianbu of Xicheng, but the disciples of Xicheng are divided into four grades under the head of the clan, gold, silver, purple, and blue. These three people are embroidered with silver silk, and their grades are not low.

While thinking about it, the shopkeeper brought in the brocade, and the three Tianbu disciples hurriedly exchanged banknotes, loaded the brocade into the carriage, and drove off.Gu Zhen was curious: "Why did Tianbu buy so much satin? In a hurry, could it be that he was in a hurry to do something bad?" He immediately jumped off the counter and followed out the door.At this time, a horse flew over, and the people on the horse shouted: "Master Gu, Lord Gu." Gu Zhen smiled and said, "I'm afraid Ling Ai is not very happy when you call me that." Cheng Ping's voice sounded like "uncle".

The man couldn't laugh or cry, jumped off the horse and scolded: "You are really a natural born robber. You want my baby and my money, and now you still have my daughter's idea. It's a pity that this idea is a little bit wrong, and Zhao even died. Three, all are sons." Hearing this, the shopkeepers in the village all came out of the hall and bowed to the man, and it was Zhao Shouzhen, the owner of the silk village.

Gu Zhen said: "Let's not talk about the silver, baby, let's borrow your horse first." He took the rein, turned on his back, and said with a smile, "I'll write down the 2 taels of silver, and I'll get it after I've been busy for a while. "

Zhao Shouzhen was dumbfounded, and opened his mouth to ask, but Gu Zhen had already whipped his horse and galloped out of the south gate.

Seeing the carriage rushing ahead, Gu Zhen also lowered his horse's hooves and followed from afar.After traveling like this for fifty miles, the carriage stopped at the side of the road, and the roadside was staggered with pine trees, densely covered with greenery, gathered in front of the forest, twenty or thirty disciples from the Heavenly Division, the leader of which was Shen Xiu, whose foot injury was not healed, and his left hand was leaning on the With a stick, he waved a lupine fan in his right hand, and chanted words with his left and right fingers.

Gu Zhen dismounted from his horse far away, hid in the grass and cursed secretly: "This turtle grandson, feather fan and towel, do you think he is Zhuge Kongming?" With his thoughts still on, a disciple of the Tianbu quickly overtook the horse and ran to Shen Xiu along the official road Before, say a few words in a low voice.With a wave of Shen Xiu's hand, the disciples of the Heaven Department scattered into the pine forests on both sides, and immediately the road was empty and there was no one there.

Gu Zhen was curious, when he suddenly heard the ringing of Luan's bell, he looked in a blink of an eye and saw a group of horses and horses coming up the road in the distance, in the center was a gorgeous carriage, the two men driving the carriage were both disciples of Dongdao, Shi Miaomiao and Gu Ping'er each rode white horses, one on the left One right guards the carriage.

Gu Zhen suddenly realized that the ambush led by Shen Xiu must be aimed at Dong Dao and his party, and looking at the current situation, Shi Miaomiao and others don't know that the danger is approaching.Gu Zhenxin wanted to come forward to remind, it would be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap; leaving a book to remind, there is no paper and pen at the moment.Although Shi Miaomiao is ruthless and Gu Ping'er is ruthless, seeing the two fall into Shen Xiu's trap, Gu Zhen feels very unbearable.

As the chariots and horses approached, Gu Zhen's thoughts changed sharply, and he put Fomalhaut aside, and said in a low voice, "Thieves cat, hide well, don't come out." The cat ignored it, curled up in the grass and squinted its eyes nap.

Seeing that it seemed to obey, Gu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, jumped into the nearby paddy field, rolled over, and his face was covered with mud, then draped his hair over his face, and then jumped into the middle of the road and cried loudly. Rolling, covered in plaster, more and more dirty and difficult to distinguish.

Everyone on the East Island was taken aback, a disciple shouted: "Stinky beggar, are you crazy?" On the left, always occupy the road and prevent Dongdao horses from passing.

The disciple was furious and wanted to whip his whip, Shi Miaomiao shouted: "Stop." He got off the horse, looked at Gu Zhen, frowned and said, "Why are you crying?" Gu Zhen heard her gentle tone, his heart felt hot, and he shouted loudly : "I'm not alive, I'm not alive!"

Shi Miaomiao wondered: "It's so good, why don't you live?" Gu Zhen said: "My parents are dead, my wife has run away with others, and my sister won't give me food, so she drives me out..." He was just acting in the beginning, After saying a few words, thinking of the experience of these years, the misery is still worse than that, and it actually moved my heart, and I really burst into tears.

Shi Miaomiao felt sad when she heard it, sighed, took a piece of silver and stuffed it into Gu Zhen's hand, and said, "My dear, don't cry, here, here, I'll give you the silver." Gu Zhen held the silver with his left hand, and blew his nose with his right to stop it. She stopped crying and said: "Sister, I also have this white flower at home, and I can exchange it for a lot of fruit candies..." Shi Miaomiao felt dumb when she saw that he was stupid, but Gu Ping'er sneered and said: "This man is obviously a fool. No wonder he lost his wife and was kicked out by his sister. If he is considered a man, I am the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata Buddha."

Shi Miaomiao couldn't help but turn around and said, "Ping'er, he's so pitiful, why are you still laughing at him?" Gu Ping'er pouted and said, "He's stupid himself, who can blame him? Sister Miaomiao, you have a good heart, why change me?" , first give him two slaps to wake him up."
