C23 A five step snake

After Daoist Priest Qingfeng finished speaking, the Village Chief immediately mobilized a few villagers and hurried home to pick up the fellows, preparing to pry open the sarcophagus.

"Daoist leader, what do you think is inside this sarcophagus?" Are there any zombies? " The village chief asked Daoist Qingfeng with a worried expression after sending a few people back to get the coffin picking tools.

"There are dead people, what else can there be?" As Daoist Priest Qingfeng spoke, he threw his cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it. Then, he turned around and said to the crowd:

"When this dead man opens the coffin, all the females have to leave."

After the village chief heard Daoist Qingfeng's words, he hurriedly ordered the few women in the crowd to return to watch the show.

Seeing that all the women had left, Daoist Master Qingfeng cleared his throat and continued to shout:

"All those who are pigs, dogs, chickens, horses, rabbits, snakes, dragons or oxen, retreat." After Daoist Master Qingfeng finished speaking, more than half of the group left. When the remaining five or six people saw this, they all followed the crowd back.

Immediately, Daoist Master Qingfeng, I, the Village Head, and Zhuang Zi were the only ones near this "Damned Ox-belly Acupuncture Point".

"I say, Master, what dog, chicken, horse, and rabbit did you just say it was? What do you mean by that? Could it be that he was trying to open a coffin to avoid the appearance of another? " I looked at Daoist Qingfeng and asked.

Dao Master Qingfeng shook his head and said,

"I'm just spouting nonsense. If this coffin of the 'Death Ox's Stomach' is opened, the body inside it might transform into a corpse if it is not rotted. If it is, so many people will be unable to escape even if they wanted to!" As Daoist Priest Qing Feng spoke, he started to cautiously walk around the sarcophagus with one foot close to the other.

Seeing this, I asked curiously:

"Master, what are you doing?"

Dao Master Qingfeng didn't reply to me. Instead, he continued to walk step by step around the sarcophagus. Only after he had walked a circle did he heave a sigh of relief. He looked at me and said:

"Your master was probing the acupoints just now."

"What is Acupoint Searching?" I asked.

I can't use jargon to explain your master to you, considering your intelligence, I'll tell you this. If I walk seven feet or more around this coffin, more than thirty-five steps, it would be the tomb of the great evildoer, and this tomb is exactly thirty-four steps away, so the dead inside should be decaying normally. At most, they would be a ghost evildoer, so it would be much easier to deal with this matter. Dao Master Qingfeng looked at me and said with a relaxed expression.

After I heard Daoist Qingfeng's words, I expressed my doubt:

"Master, you better drop it. If I didn't purposely suspect you, then everyone's feet would be different in size. If you measure them with your foot, then they might surpass 35 steps. Wouldn't that be the Evil Tomb?"

After Daoist Qingfeng heard what I said, he smiled and said to me while pointing to the nearby stone coffin:

"You can try following my footprints and see how many steps you have taken. If it weren't for the 34 steps, Master would prepare a month's worth of food for you when you get back!" The way he spoke was filled with confidence.

I am born not believing in evil. Daoist Master Qingfeng's big feet are not only two sizes bigger than mine. Can the measurements of these feet be the same?

So I didn't think too much and directly walked towards the sarcophagus. As I walked, I was secretly overjoyed. This is great! Let him cook for me, he's finally going to turn the tables!

"Wait a minute!" Just as I was about to take a step forward, Daoist Master Qingfeng called out to me.

"I say, Master, you've already said it, you can't go back on your word." I looked at Daoist Qingfeng and said.

"I'm not going back on my word. I just want to add that if it's just 34 steps, you can pour me a month's worth of water to wash my feet." Dao Master Qingfeng looked at me and said with a treacherous expression.

"No problem!" After thinking about it, I still couldn't believe that, at the same distance, these two feet were of different sizes and the measured number of steps could be the same.

However, after following Daoist Master Qingfeng's footprints around this sarcophagus, I finally understood one thing:

"The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel …"

No more, no less than 34 steps. It was exactly the same as the step that Daoist Master Qingfeng had measured!

For a moment I suspected that I had miscounted, and then, not giving up, I made another circuit, still measuring thirty-four steps.

This was truly strange. How could he not take one step at a time, and not take one step at a time?

Now, I feel like I have fallen for that old fox Daoist Qingfeng's trap again!

When the Village Chief and Zhuang Zi saw this, they were also quite confused. Zhuang Zi curiously walked up and said while staring at them,

"Me too, is it 34 steps? Are all three of our feet the same size?!" "If not, I wouldn't have been a step too late."

At this time, Daoist Qingfeng laughed and said:

"Is this the kind of metaphysics that you can study?" Not to mention the two of you, even if more people were to come, as long as they follow my footprints, they would only be able to measure 34 steps! "

"Why?" I asked.

"Sigh!" "Even if I told you this now, you wouldn't understand. The Dao is too profound." Daoist Master Qingfeng said, looking at me with a profound expression.

"Tsk, I don't want to know yet." After I finished speaking, I walked to the side and sat down on the ground. Then, I started to examine the dead trees and grass near the 'Damned Ox-Belly Acupoint'.

In one glance, I discovered a problem. In the vicinity of this "Death's Stomach Point", whether it was a tree as thick as an adult's thigh or a bush on the ground, their dead branches were covered with a thin layer of something similar to black powder.

Just as I was about to speak to Daoist Master Qingfeng, the people who went back to the village to retrieve their tools have all returned.

Some carried crowbars, others shovels, picks, etc.

Seeing that everyone had brought their tools, Daoist Master Qingfeng hurriedly shouted at me:

"Thirteen, give me your bag."

I hastily handed over the yellow bag that Daoist Qingfeng had asked me to carry with me along the way.

After Daoist Master Qingfeng received the bag, he took out a bundle of yellow paper and sprinkled it out.

Seeing this, I hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Master, are you preparing to worship the dead before opening this sarcophagus?"

"Worshiping my ass!" The spirits inside have been f * cking killed seven people, why am I even paying my respects to this rabbit?! This is to prevent a Corpse Transformation! " Daoist Master Qingfeng said to me.

At this time, Daoist Master Qingfeng shouted to the people behind him who were carrying their tools:

"Come, let's have more people together. Let's pry open the sarcophagus' lid!"

When the crowd heard Daoist Qingfeng's words, although they all had fellows in their hands, none of them stepped forward as they looked at each other.

It was no wonder that the person who dug this grave had died seven times in three days, and that was still digging. If the coffin's lid was lifted, then wouldn't he die an even more miserable death?!

Therefore, no one stepped forward even after Daoist Master Qingfeng had spoken for half a day.

Daoist Master Qingfeng seemed to have anticipated this earlier. His tone immediately became a bit higher as he looked at the crowd and said,

"What are you guys afraid of?! This Taoist priest is here watching! Alright, I'll be the first one to make a move! "You guys follow me!" As Daoist Master Qingfeng spoke, he took a pickaxe from a man beside him and threw it towards the hard soil on top of the sarcophagus!

The village chief took this opportunity to shout:

"Anyone who tries to pry open the coffin today will get five points from this plot of land! "I have the final say!"

This fortune was extremely tempting. Moreover, Daoist Master Qingfeng had just made the first move, so they were now full of courage. They all gathered together and walked towards the sarcophagus.

With more people and more strength, they quickly cleared the thick layer of hard soil on top of the sarcophagus' lid. But because of the age of this sarcophagus, the lid of the sarcophagus had merged with the sarcophagus.

This sarcophagus had been pried to the point where he had no idea where to start.

Daoist Master Qingfeng lowered his head and thought for a while. He then picked up a pickaxe and jumped on top of the sarcophagus. He looked at the crowd and shouted:

"Fellow villagers, even if we have to smash this coffin, we must smash it open today! "Come on up, two men with pickaxes. Let's take advantage of the fact that it's not dark yet and let this lid of coffin be penetrated!"

Just as Daoist Master Qingfeng finished speaking, I accidentally saw something on the coffin cover beneath his feet. He quickly opened his mouth and shouted to Daoist Master Qingfeng:

"Master! You have a snake under your feet! "

After everyone heard my words, they all looked towards Daoist Master Qingfeng's feet!

Sure enough, less than half a meter away from Daoist Qingfeng's feet was a stone coffin. At some point in time, a triangular head had appeared on top of a poisonous snake, spitting out a bright red tongue!

If a knowledgeable person were to know it, they would be able to recognize it with a single glance. This was a Sharp Kiss Viper!

It was highly toxic!

Viper, also known as the five-legged snake or seven-legged snake.

Although this snake venom was not as exaggerated as its name suggested, to be bitten by it and die before even taking five steps, it was still a well-known venomous snake!

Those bitten by the snake in Chenxi, Hunan Province, are basically dead, and those bitten by the cobra can be saved.

The most important thing was that the Agkistrodon halys had an irascible temper. It would get angry as soon as it made a move and its attacking ability was extremely strong. If Daoist Master Qingfeng was bitten by it here, then it would be no different than death for the village's transportation conditions.

At this moment, Daoist Clearwind, who was standing on top of the sarcophagus, had cold sweat on his face. I stared at the Five Step Snake while I stood underneath the sarcophagus. My heart was about to jump out of my throat.

His eyelids also started to keep jumping up and down. The people surrounding the sarcophagus didn't even dare to breathe, as if time had frozen at this moment.

The atmosphere was tense.

Everyone discovered that there was something wrong with this Five Step Snake. If it was any other poisonous snake, as long as one stood still, it would not take the initiative to attack them. It would usually crawl away by itself.

However, this Five Step Snake was still waiting under Daoist Master Qingfeng's feet. Not only did it not leave, it would even occasionally attack!

Time passed second by second. Looking at that Five Step Snake that was staring at Daoist Master Qingfeng, I took a few deep breaths and tried to calm myself down. I couldn't go on like this!
