Acting for the gods

Chapter 538 Snake Catching Village

In the 29th year of Kaiyuan, at the beginning of November, the weather was getting colder.

Several months have passed since the feast of bliss, after Li Longji lost Concubine Yang Gui, he became obsessed with cultivating immortals.

But after the death of Jin Guangzong, Xuanxin Zhengzong withdrew from the court, Li Longji canonized Taiyin Zhenjun as the national teacher, and ordered Taiyin Zhenjun to refine the elixir of life, but failed repeatedly, and the emperor was furious.

In order to gain Li Longji's support, the True Lord of Taiyin began to force the people everywhere to catch snakes and practice Taoism in order to regain the emperor's favor.

Outside Lanruo Temple.

Jiang Fan watched the backs of Xiaobai and Xiaoqing leaving, and thought, "Has the plot started yet?"

Some time ago, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing followed Jiang Fan back to Lanruo Temple to practice.

Thanks to the pure blood pill provided by Jiang Fan, as well as careful guidance, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, which is not the same as before.

But just a few days ago, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing received a letter from the Promise Snake Mother, asking them to go and assassinate the current national teacher, Taiyin Zhenjun.

Jiang Fan knew that neither the Promise Snake Mother nor the True Lord Taiyin was a good bird, but he didn't stop him, but let Xiaobai and Xiaoqing leave.

Looking at the green pearl hairpin on Xiaobai's head, Jiang Fan didn't remind Xiaobai either.

There are some things that you will only understand if you have experienced them yourself.

After Xiaobai and Xiaoqing left Lanruo Temple, they headed towards Qiantang Town according to the information provided by the Promise Snake Mother.

On the way, Xiaoqing asked: "The national teacher hunted and killed many of our kind, and he is the number one enemy of our snake clan. Master asked us to kill him. Sister, what do you think we have a chance of winning?"

Holding the general sword, Xiaobai said: "In the past, our chances of winning were less than [-]%, after all, you and I have just transformed, but now, I am [-]% sure."

Being able to become a master of the Tang Dynasty is enough to prove that the true king of Taiyin is quite capable.

Now Xiaobai and Xiaoqing's strength has been greatly improved, but she dare not say enough.

"Ok!"

Holding the Mo Xie sword, Xiao Qing nodded and said, "Thanks to Fa Hai, I am now a great monster with a thousand years of cultivation, let us go and kill that old monster together."

Three days later, the two women came to a valley.

There are green mountains and green waters here, and there are large red maple forests. Although winter has begun, the valley is still quite mild. With the mountain streams and waterfalls, the clouds and mountains are surrounded by mist, the scenery is pleasant, and it looks like a fairyland.

In this valley, there is a relatively famous village called Snake Catch Village.

The reason why it is called the snake-catching village is that the people here have lived by catching snakes for generations.

Taiyin Zhenjun, the third generation national teacher of the dynasty, practiced the "Taiyin Jieshen Jing", which required a lot of snakes to practice. Hearing that people here are good at catching snakes, he came here specially.

The grandeur of Taiyin Zhenjun's appearance was even worse than that of his predecessor, Jin Guang. In addition to his disciple Ming Yu who was riding a three-headed crane, he also had accompanying servants to serve him. In addition, there were hundreds of tiger guards accompanying him. guard.

In fact, Taiyin Zhenjun didn't really want to come to Qiantang County. It was only because Li Longji heard the news that Fa Hai was here to subdue the dragon some time ago, and he wanted to inquire about Yang Yuhuan's whereabouts, so he sent Taiyin Zhenjun here. .

But True Monarch Taiyin still has self-knowledge, he doesn't dare to provoke Fa Hai at all, coming here, at most it's the whole cutscene.

By the way, catch snakes along the river, so that snake catchers from all over the world will increase their efforts to catch snakes.

That is to kill two birds with one stone.

"Sister, that old monster is inside the sedan chair, do you want to do it now?"

The old monster in Xiaoqing's mouth is the True Lord of Taiyin.

They still don't know the details of Taiyin Zhenjun, but they learned from their master, Wuji Snake Mother, that Taiyin Zhenjun has practiced an extremely insidious exercise called "Taiyin Jieshen Jing", which can absorb the cultivation base of snake demons Enhance your own skills.

Now that the True Monarch Taiyin has become the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, he even uses the power of the royal family to catch snakes. If they are not eradicated, it will be a disaster for the snake clan!
Looking at the team approaching the snake-catching village, Xiao Bai shook his head slightly: "If you do something near the village, innocent people may be hurt."

"My sister and those are all snake catchers. They are the deadly enemies of our snake clan. If they die, they will die."

Xiaoqing doesn't like the snake catcher at all.

Xiaobai said: "You forgot, we promised the mage that we will only punish the culprits and not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"They hunted and killed so many of our fellow clansmen, how can they be regarded as innocent, I think they deserve to die."

Xiaoqing has a rather wild temper, thinking of the scene of his family being hunted down, he couldn't help but want to kill to vent his anger.

"Natural selection, the strong prey on the weak. They live by catching snakes, and they will die by catching snakes. Our goal here is to assassinate the national teacher, and we don't want to make any troubles."

Xiaobai doesn't know that the snake catchers are deadly enemies to the snake clan, but now the human race dominates, if they start killing because of this, let alone others, even Fahai will not tolerate them!
While the two women were talking, the National Teacher's patrol team had already arrived outside the Snake Catch Village.

"Wow~"

As the soldiers lined up, a strange three-headed red-crowned crane kept singing and walked into the village with all four limbs.

It is as big as a calf, covered in white fur, like a giant wolf, but it has three crane heads on its head, which looks rather weird.

At this time, the old village head led people to greet him.

The old village chief said tremblingly: "I tell the Taoist priest that there are very few snakes this year, and now that winter is coming, snakes are dormant, so we will use our lives to..."

"Wow!"

Before the old village chief finished speaking, the three-headed crane opened its mouth wide and roared at the village chief.

The old village head was so frightened that he fell to the ground, trembling.

On the back of the three-headed crane, a masked purple-robed Taoist said in a strange way: "Nowadays, the world is in chaos and demons are everywhere. My master, as a national teacher, is practicing Taoism hard to eliminate harm for the people. I want you to arrest more people." Some snakes, too much?"

"Not too much, not too much."

Hearing this, the village chief shook his head again and again, and complimented: "Monsters eat human flesh and blood, causing disasters everywhere. Thanks to the national teacher guarding one side, we can live a peaceful life!"

Daoist Mingyu smiled slightly, and nodded lazily: "In this case, why didn't you hand in the snake on time, which delayed the important matter of the national teacher, can you afford it?"

"Master Dao Mingjian, our village has stepped up efforts to catch snakes in recent years. Many young and strong villagers have died from the mouth of poisonous snakes. Now there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled in the village. Can you give us a few more days?"

Taoist Master Mingyu heard the words, and said casually: "How to catch snakes is your problem. You have three days to fill up the missing snakes, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

"This"

The old village chief wanted to say something, but the soldier wearing armor and riding on the horse with wings behind his back shouted sharply: "Master Mingyu has given you three days' grace, don't hurry up and thank you."

The villagers of Catch Snake Village dared not speak out, they could only express their gratitude reluctantly.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, the three-headed crane seemed to smell the breath of the snake demon, and began to sing.

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be a spirited snake demon here, the three-headed crane, catch up."

Daoist Mingyu gave an order, and the three-headed crane under him immediately chased after the aura behind him.

Zhenjun Taiyin, who was sitting in the sedan chair, ordered in a cold voice: "Tiger Guards, follow immediately."

"Yes!"

Hundreds of tiger guards ran towards the outside of the village.

In the field twenty miles away from the Snake Catch Village.

"Xiaoqing, slow down, don't let these people get lost."

"Sister, is this position almost?"

Xiaobai stopped on a rock and looked around. There were no other creatures around, and it was indeed a good battlefield.

"Just here!"

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing quickly set up the selected battlefield.
