Chapter 318 See you again, acquaintances
She smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's not too hot here."
Ning Ji looked around. After the wild beasts were scared away, there was silence. "Let's rest for a while."
"it is good."
The two found a relatively open place, cleaned up a bit, and then sat down to rest for a while.
The horse was tied to a tree trunk, while Momo was coiled around a big tree not far away, with one section of its tail hanging in the air, motionless. If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to notice it, because there were too many vines on the surrounding trees and the light was a little dim.
Ning Ji and Si He sat on a big rock, drinking water and eating dry food to fill their stomachs.
However, not long after they started eating, they heard some sounds of fighting coming from the woods in the distance.
Both of them were used to hearing these sounds, as they had encountered them many times when they went up the mountain before.
Most of those who can enter these deep mountains and forests are here to look for medicine. Sometimes fights occur, but more often they are caused by conflicts over some precious medicinal materials.
Si He turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, but unfortunately the distance was too far and she could not see anything.
She withdrew her gaze and continued eating. After a while, the sound of fighting in the distance gradually died down.
They originally thought that those people had gone away, but unexpectedly they were walking towards them.
Si He turned her head again and looked at the people who were getting closer and closer in the distance. When she finished eating the bread in her hand, the people in the deep forest also appeared in her eyes.
A group of people, all of whom were more or less injured and very aggressive, did not look like a team looking for medicine.
Originally, this was nothing, it had nothing to do with each other, as long as they didn't come and cause trouble.
But among this group of people, she saw a familiar figure.
The old monk I once met - Zang Nian.
At this moment, Zang Nian also saw the two of them.
After many years, everyone's appearance has changed. Ning Ji is no longer young, and Zang Nian has also aged a lot, with many more wrinkles on his face. Only Si He's appearance remains the same.
Although Zang Nian was still wearing a monk's robe, the items he carried with him were very valuable. For example, the rosary was not only made of high-quality material, but the hanging beads were also made of various precious crystals or gems, which were shiny and dazzling.
There is also the Zen staff, which is exquisitely crafted and golden all over. The top of the staff is inlaid with a dazzling golden bead. The golden bead is round and smooth, and it sparkles with a faint golden light under the light.
The handle of the Zen staff is also carved with the shape of a lotus seat and some complex and exquisite patterns. Although it exudes an indescribable solemnity and sacredness, it also reveals the word "valuable" everywhere.
Zang Nian also quickly recognized the two people, especially when he saw Si He's face, he was very surprised.
Because of her stunning beauty, which was unforgettable, Zang Nian still remembered her after so many years. He just didn't expect that she was still so young!
She still looks like a little girl!
Just when Zang Nian was stunned, a group of people around him began to walk towards the two of them, with obvious intentions.
Zang Nian quickly came to his senses, but before he could take a step forward, the group in front of him suddenly stopped!
'Whoosh whoosh! '
A group of them drew their swords one after another and stared ahead with vigilant expressions.
'Hiss! !'
Zang Nian looked up and saw a big black snake coiled on the big tree next to the two men!
Its body is as thick as a human thigh, and its head is not small either, also as big as its body. It is not like an ordinary python, it is murderous!
In the past, they had heard that there was a powerful big black snake in the mountains and forests here, which killed many people, but no one had ever been able to kill or catch it. The more they looked at the big black snake in front of them, the more they felt that it looked like the ferocious snake in the legend!
"Ink."
Si He called out to it, and it slowly climbed down from the tree. Its hostility subsided a little, but its eyes were still fixed on the group of people in the distance, as if it would attack if they got any closer.
It crawled to Si He's side, raised its head slightly, and stuck out its tongue from time to time, making a hissing sound.
She called out to Momo because she didn't want it to suffer any loss. The other side had more people and swords and knives. If a real fight broke out, it would be in trouble!
If you can avoid fighting, then don't fight.
Of course, if these people move one step closer, she will take action even without Mo Mo and Ning Ji!
Ning Ji didn't take these people seriously. His gaze lingered on the monk for a moment, then he looked away and looked at Si He, asking, "Do you want to eat more?"
Si He turned to look at him and said, "I don't want to eat anymore."
"Amitabha."
At this time, Zang Nian suddenly spoke, breaking the deadlock, looking at the two of them with kindness, but did not move forward, allowing everyone to keep a safe distance.
Si He looked at the monk and didn't care about revealing his true face. After all, he had already seen it just now, so there was no point in hiding it anymore.
"After years of separation, I see you two donors again. It really is fate."
Zang Nian smiled faintly, with kind eyes, looking like a high-level monk, and was out of tune with the group of vicious people around him.
"Master Zang Nian, how are you?"
Ning Ji looked at Zang Nian indifferently. When facing others, he was less gentle and more indifferent, with a faint powerful aura exuding from him. Although his posture was the same as before, with the passage of time, his temperament became more calm.
His light words contained pressure, which made people feel apprehensive.
When the others heard this, they realized they knew each other?
Seeing Master Zang Nian's attitude, they silently retreated a little and put away some of their hostility, but they did not retract the swords in their hands. The main reason was that the big snake was still staring at them coldly!
Zang Nian smiled faintly, looked at Ning Ji, and said: "Amitabha, the donor has a good memory."
He paused, glanced at the large black snake beside the two men, and said, "This snake is spiritual. You are lucky to be able to keep it by your side."
Ning Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, lowered his eyes to look at Mo Mo, and said nothing.
Si He on the side also had a calm expression. She gently stroked Mo Mo's head, and her delicate white hands touched the dark and shiny scales. The black and white colors contrasted obviously.
Momo was as obedient as a harmless pet in her hands.
But its cold eyes and huge body make it impossible to ignore its danger.
Seeing the two men's continued indifference, Zang Nian said, "We have no ill intentions. Since we have the good fortune to meet again, would you mind if we stop here?"
"do not mind."
Before Ning Ji could speak, Si He replied first.
Zang Nian immediately turned his gaze towards her, and Ning Ji also turned his head to look at her. Then he saw her looking at them with an unclear expression and said, "It's been many years since we last met, but Master's hobbies have not changed. He still loves visiting tombs."
Her voice was calm and smiling, but her words startled them and they stared at her warily.
When Ning Ji heard her say this, he turned around and looked at the group of people not far away, and then his eyes darkened slightly.
