Chapter 53 Clues
"Looking for the black snake?" Zhuo Qianfeng's fat face suddenly turned pale, and Mo Gu's smiling face turned into a ghost.
"No, no, no, senior, please spare me. The black snake is powerful. If I go down the river to find it, I will definitely be dead!" Zhuo Qianfeng shook his head wildly.
He knew the horror of the black snake very well, because a long time ago, many disciples of their Golden Light Sect had searched for the black snake in Glacier.
But without exception, the brothers who had fallen into the glacier had never come up, including the master of the Golden Light Sect’s water chakra.
Their wheel master is a master of the Sixth Mirror, but he couldn't beat the Black Snake even after getting off the glacier. Didn't the person in front of him tell him to go down the river to find the Black Snake? Didn't he explicitly let him die?
Instead of dying in the cold river and being eaten by the black snake, it is better to die on the shore happily!
Seeing Zhuo Qianfeng resisting so much, Mo Gu was also embarrassed for a moment, "How about this? I will tie a rope for you. If you encounter danger, how about I pull you up immediately?"
He suddenly thought of an idea.
Zhuo Qianfeng looked shocked and said in surprise: "Senior, are you kidding?" The ice river is turbulent, let alone tie a rope, you can't even tie an iron chain. If you are so anxious, the rope will keep shaking when you go down. It's the same if I don't pull it. I'm waiting to die!
Mo Gu laughed dryly, "Haha, just kidding, the river water is so urgent, even if you pull it, I can't tell it."
Zhuo Qianfeng was sweating coldly. He took a breath, relaxed his body, and asked in a low voice: "Senior, can I ask you a question?"
Mo Gu smiled and said, "Do you want to ask me why I was looking for the black snake?"
Zhuo Qianfeng quickly nodded and expressed his curiosity. Many sects have been looking for Black Snake recently. Although he is not very clear, he also vaguely knew that Black Snake was full of treasures, as if he was going to kill Black Snake to get the treasures on Black Snake.
Mo Gu said, "I also heard that this black snake was magical and was causing trouble in the glacier river to harm the people around me. Then I thought about finding this beast."
Zhuo Qianfeng said carefully: "I know how to stir up trouble, but I don't harm the people."
"Hmm?" Mo Gu was stunned and looked at Zhuo Qianfeng in surprise. "What do you mean?" He suddenly thought of the child he met on the shore before. The child also said that he was not afraid of black snakes and that he would have a dragon to protect them.
At first he thought it was a joke from a child, but when Zhuo Qianfeng said this, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be some connection between it.
Speaking of this, Zhuo Qianfeng also had a solemn and respectful look on his face, "This black snake has existed for a long time. When I was a child, I heard the elders in the village mention it, but the elders didn't care much about the black snake. No matter how powerful the black snake is, it is impossible to be the opponent of the guardian saint of the glacier."
"Guardian of the Ice River?" Mo Gu felt a little puzzled, why did the Guardian of the Ice River pop up again?
Zhuo Qianfeng continued: "It is rumored that the Guardian of the Glacier is a dragon with a single horn and four toes on its head, but I have never seen it since I was a child. Although I don't believe it very much, the black snake has never hurt the people of the surrounding villages."
Mo Gu's eyebrows frowned, "Then why do the villagers in Guangning Village still worship black snakes every year?"
"This is their custom, one is to thank the patron saint of the Glacier, and the other is to comfort the black snake and thank the black snake."
Zhuo Qianfeng is very familiar with the customs of the surrounding villages. He said seriously: "The black snake lives in the glacier because it exists. No beast dares to come out around the glacier, and they hide far away. This is also the reason why the surrounding villages can be preserved forever."
Mo Gu thought about the meaning of Zhuo Qianfeng's words, and suddenly heard a sound behind him again. This time his figure was a little heavier. Mo Gu turned his head and saw a young man in his early twenties walking along the river bank. The young man had sparse eyebrows, bronze skin, a layer of linen on his forehead to protect him from the cold, wearing a wide hunting fur coat, and a frame behind him.
Seeing Mo Gu and Zhuo Qianfeng kneeling on the ground, the young man's face was first surprised, then he returned to his face with great bitterness and grudges. He took out a black rock from the frame behind him and threw it into the glacier with force.
Every time the young man took a few steps, he would throw a stone down and enter the glacier. Every time he threw a stone, he would grit his teeth and his eyes were filled with hatred. However, the stone he threw was not big, and he could not even splash a splash of water when he fell into the water.
Mo Gu glanced at Zhuo Qianfeng and asked in a low voice: "What is this person doing?"
Zhuo Qianfeng also moved his fat body at this time, stood up from the ground with difficulty, and said in a low voice: "This man is Ning Yan, from Guangning Village. His younger brother drowned while playing in the ice river. He always thought that the black snake harmed his younger brother, so he threw stones into the river every day, trying to fill the ice river and force the black snake to come out and avenge his younger brother."
"This is not a joke. With his method, he is lucky enough to kill the fish in the ice river if he fills the river!"
Mo Gu suddenly remembered, isn’t this behavior similar to Yugong moving mountains? Uh, to be precise, Jingwei reclaimed the sea?
He looked at the young man with a strange look. He saw that the other person was just an ordinary young man and had no special place.
Zhuo Qianfeng sighed and said, "Who said it was not? But he has been persisting for five or six years, and the villagers have persuaded him, but he keeps going, so the villagers just let it go."
Zhuo Qianfeng obviously also scoffed at this kind of thing. Ning Yan could not fill the glacier. It is still a matter of whether the stones he threw into the river could sink to the bottom. Such a small stone would definitely be washed away directly in this turbulent current!
Mo Gu patted Zhuo Qianfeng's broad shoulders and interrupted his complicated expression, "Don't think too much, everyone has their own ideas, let's talk about how to find the Black Snake."
Mo Gu's voice was not deliberately lowered, so his words also clearly reached the ears of the young man who threw stones.
Hearing that Mo Gu was also looking for the black snake, the young man Ning Yan immediately turned around and walked towards Mo Gu, and said aloud from afar: "This is Taoist priest, are you looking for the black snake?"
Ning Yan's voice was gentle and polite, and he said slowly: "If the Taoist priest is also looking for the black snake, I have a clue here you can try it."
The man's tone and expression did not look like a villager, but rather like a well-educated and very knowledgeable teacher.
Mo Gu bowed and replied, "It's true that you're looking for Black Snake again. What clues does this brother have? I heard that you have been throwing stones into Hanoi. I think you have met many people like me, don't you tell them?"
