There is something in my mouth

Who can dig holes, find Qili in the mountains and rivers.

In his nearly ten thousand year long demon life, about half of his time was spent digging holes or a series of activities related to digging holes.Especially when he was young, because he was young and full of energy, through countless times of practice, he developed a super strong ability to dig holes.Whether it's soft or hard, down or up, it doesn't matter.

He had also been trapped for a long time, and Qili's limbs moved quickly, cutting off the rock mass in front of him layer by layer with extremely high efficiency.Fortunately, he did not encounter a huge obstacle as hard as the hidden eggs of the Xuanxu Hades, so after a while, he broke through the last layer of soil and jumped onto the ground.

The long-lost sunshine flowed gently on his body, warm and beautiful, which made him sigh comfortably.

But at this moment, without warning, a large golden net suddenly descended from the sky and completely covered Qili.The fine and sharp stimulation continuously came from the contact point, making his whole body go numb, his limbs went limp, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

Ah, careless!

This thought flashed through Qili's mind immediately, but it was too late.The edge of the big net is tightly attached to the ground, so it is not easy to break free.What's more, he was affected by the technique above, his strength and sensitivity were not as good as before, and he was helpless for a while.

All he can do at this time is to find the offender and see if he can find a peaceful solution.He even had a certain degree of luck, thinking that if he caught the wrong one, it would be easy.

I didn't know the result, I was startled when I saw it.

Because he was too focused on enjoying the breath of freedom before, Qili didn't realize that there were actually a lot of people gathered around him, men, women, young and old, tall, short, fat, and thin.They don't have the aura of immortal cultivators, and they don't have the unique aura of monsters or demons. They should be just ordinary people.There was only a square-faced man in a fluttering Taoist robe standing not far in front of him, who looked like he was cultivated.

Qili speculated that the damn thing on his body might belong to that guy.

And at this embarrassing moment that everyone was looking at, whether it was the group of mortals or the monk who stood out from the crowd, there were more or less surprises on their faces.

What are you surprised about?

Qili would like to ask, are you surprised that you caught the wrong demon?Since you caught it wrong, can you let me go first and then be surprised?Before he could ask, someone in the crowd yelled first: "Where is this Xuanxu Hell Snake, it's clearly a puppy!"

These words seemed to be a reassurance, soothing Qili's throbbing little heart.

It turned out that he was caught wrong, and it seemed that he would be released soon.

Fortunately, fortunately.

But unexpectedly, the next moment, the square-faced monk suddenly lowered his face, and shouted in a solemn voice: "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. This is indeed a mysterious snake."

Um? ! !

Qili felt unbelievable, and blurted out: "Which part of my whole body looks like a mysterious snake?"

There are some similarities between referring to a deer as a horse. May I ask what is the similarity between the mythical beast in the shape of a puppy and the ancient relic beast in the shape of a big snake?Do they have two eyes and a mouth?Are you blind when you are a crowd?

Sure enough, more and more voices of doubt sounded from the crowd.

"It's called the Xuanxu Hell Snake, so it should look like a snake, right?"

"This poor puppy, how could it be the kind of monster that devours countless lives?"

"In my opinion, there is no mysterious snake at all, it's all this Taoist priest pretending to be a ghost. The terrible disaster in the Qilian Valley before was God's punishment. After all, it is said so everywhere, and look at the appearance of the owner of the valley. , deserved to be struck by lightning."

"Bah, bah, keep some morals. No matter how the owner of the valley shares the anger of man and god, what does it have to do with those innocent people?"

……

Just as the surrounding environment became more and more noisy, the square-faced monk coughed heavily, releasing a shallow spiritual pressure.Although it was only enough to make Qili sneeze, it managed to make ordinary people feel a burst of heart palpitations, and the crowd instantly became quiet.

"You guys are really superficial."

A strong man with bushy eyebrows and big eyes was a little displeased immediately, overcame the fear in his heart and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Of course it's literally." The monk snorted coldly and said, "You can't see the essence through the phenomenon, which is one of the reasons why you can never step on the path of practice. Everything in the world has its own trajectory, causal connection, existence Although it is reasonable, it cannot always be accurately reflected. If you just believe in what you see without thinking about the reason and whereabouts, it is like being covered by floating clouds. Observation, to put it bluntly, is superficial."

His tone was filled with seven-point regret and three-point hatred, which made everyone startled for a moment, making them feel for a moment that they were listening to heaven.

"...Master Immortal, can you use a more common language?"

The square-faced monk sighed heavily, showing a helpless expression of "I really can't do anything about your ignorance", pointed at Qili in the golden net and said, "To put it bluntly, why must the Xuanxu Hell snake be a snake?"

People looked at each other, thinking they were called snakes, why not snakes?

"Xuanxu Hell Snake is just a name. It's like calling your neighbor a cat or a dog, or Xiaocaoxiaohua. Is he really not a human? Obviously not."

Some people think back to their unbearable years of fame, and they think so.

"Similarly, it can be seen that the Xuanxu Hell Snake is not necessarily a snake, but may just be a name people give to an unknown creature. As for why it is called the Xuanxu Hell Snake, this may be the result of various considerations by the predecessors. More What's more, how do you know that people in ancient times had the same perception of snakes as they do in today's era?"

"..."

The surrounding fell into silence. Everyone felt that the Taoist's words seemed to be weird, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it really made sense.

Qili thought that no one could destroy my innocence, so she immediately shouted: "Of course the Xuanxu Hell Snake is a snake, I saw it with my own eyes!"

The square-faced monk cast a smile that was not a smile: "Everyone knows how credible the suspect's statement is."

"But why do you say that I am a mysterious ghost snake?!"

As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers became aware of this problem one after another.You say something to me, although the words are different, but the meaning is very unified - even if the mysterious snake is not a snake, why must it be this puppy?

"This is going to go back to what I said before. To look at the problem, you need to think about the causal connection. If you really want to say it, this is a very simple thing."

After a pause, he glanced around, and said lightly: "I am a monk who is good at divination and asking the sky. Everyone should know about this, right?"

In this regard, the vast majority of people nodded without hesitation.

"Everyone is troubled by the earthquake, and through divination, I have concluded that the mysterious snake is very likely to appear here. Sure enough, just now, there was indeed a continuous abnormal sound coming from the ground. When the ground trembled, countless stones jumped and danced spontaneously. , and this is all the phenomenon when the Xuanxu Hell snake, the earth spirit god, appeared in the rumors. At this moment, this monster race broke out of the ground, and all the abnormalities disappeared suddenly."

"Isn't that already obvious?"

Everyone looked at each other, and someone still asked: "But it's just a puppy..."

"Brother, have you ever seen an ordinary puppy that can talk?" The square-faced monk shook his head and sighed, "It seems that you didn't listen to what I said earlier. That's fine, change to a simpler way of thinking, you How do you know that the demon clan in front of you is not disguising your image?"

"..."

"At any rate, I'm a cultivator with a seat on the Qingtian Ranking. I came here to collect demons for you out of morality. I didn't even ask for a single cent of compensation. Why would I lie to you?"

Because what he said was so natural, those who had personally experienced the "supernatural power of Taoism" suddenly had an epiphany of "that's how it is", and immediately believed it very much.The rest of the people, although more or less skeptical, were relieved when they thought that the other party was obviously powerful, but willing to come to such a small place to solve their own disasters.

As a result, the surrounding atmosphere immediately heated up.

"The fairy master is doing well!"

"We will accept this evil monster!"

"My god, I can finally have a good night's sleep!"

Qili picked up a big pot for no reason, but this group of fanatical mortals were incited to become emotional again, and they couldn't listen to his explanation.Seeing the square-faced monk walking step by step, with a weird smile on his face, he was anxious like an ant in a hot pot, thinking that he was going to be caught and sold on the black market, and experience that terrible thing again ?

As a result, at this critical moment, a clear and pleasant female voice sounded.Although not very loud, it magically covered all the noise and appeared in everyone's ears.

"It's really a joke, so if a person appears from the cave, you have to point at him and say it's the mysterious snake?"

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling silver light shot out from the hole drilled out of Qili. Under the loud bang, a burst of dust flew up, the edges shattered and cracked, and the hole expanded dozens of times in an instant.

After a few breaths, An Chengyue and A Qun appeared in the eyes of everyone.A moment later, it was Wu Shi who was standing at the entrance of the cave.

The female voice laughed: "Well, three of them came at once."
