Chapter 247 Snake
In the mountains and forests of Sishui County, there is a Zen temple, which is rarely visited. There is a Taoist priest living in the courtyard and raises many big snakes. Therefore, tourists are extinct.
A teenager went into the mountain to catch eagles. He got lost and didn't tell the direction. He saw a temple from afar, so he went in to stay overnight. The Taoist priest came out to greet him and said in shock, "Where did the priest come from? Fortunately, I was not seen by the children. While talking, he invited the teenager to sit down and served tea and rice porridge.
When eating, a giant snake swam into the house. More than a dozen people hugged each other, glared with their heads held high, and their eyes were like electricity. The teenager was so afraid that the Taoist priest slapped the giant snake on the head and scolded, "Go back." The giant snake bowed its head and listened, slowly entered the eastern bedroom, circled and lay, and filled the whole house. The teenager was so scared that he trembled all over. The Taoist priest said, "This snake is what I usually raise. If I'm here, it's okay; but it's more dangerous for aristocrat to meet it alone."
While talking, another giant snake swam into the house. The six people hugged each other. At first sight of the guest, they held their heads high and roared repeatedly. The Taoist priest scolded loudly, and the giant snake turned around and went into the east bedroom. The room was cramped and there was nowhere to live. The giant snake's body wandered and climbed up the beam. Its tail swept through the wall, and the soil splashed everywhere.
The guests trembled and dared not sleep all night. The next day, when the young man left and was about to leave, the Taoist priest got up to see him off and came to the door. On the stone steps on the wall, it was dense, full of snakes, the big one was as thick as a washbasin, and the small wine glass was thick, or lying down or walking, with different postures. When the snakes first saw the teenager, they opened their mouths and hiss, and they all had bad intentions. The teenager was worried, grabbed the Taoist priest's arm and hurried away.

A resident in Zhongzhou, in the snake and Buddhist temple, the monks in the temple prepared dinner. The broth was delicious, and the meat pieces were shaped like chicken necks. The guest asked, "With so many chicken necks, how many chickens do you have to kill?" The monk shook his head and said, "This is snake meat." The guests were shocked and hurried out, vomited.
When sleeping, the guest only felt that his chest was cold. It seemed that something squirmed and crawled. When he touched it with his hand, it turned out to be a snake. The guest was shocked and couldn't help shouting. The monk came when he heard the news and said with a smile, "It's just a few snakes. Why make a fuss?" When I lit the lights, I saw that above the wall, big and small, it was full of snakes. ** Under the bed, it was also full of all kinds of strange snakes.
The next day, the monk guided the guests to the Buddhist hall. There was a huge well under the Buddha statue. The snake in the well was as thick as a tile, and the snake's head poked out of the well, but did not climb out. Light the torch and have a look. There are millions of snakes and grandchildren in the well. The monk said, "In the past, the snakes came out of the well. Since the construction of this Buddha statue has been suppressed, nothing has happened."
