There is something in my mouth

Suddenly feeling the obvious bright light, the creature in the cage let out a low growl of discomfort, and the long and narrow body coiled into a ball wanted to move, but it couldn't move under the confinement of the spell.

Dongfang made a handprint to release the restraint, and the creature in the cage felt the whole body loosen, and the strength returned to the cage.His light gray snake body slowly moved, and the scales reflected the light from the outside world, exuding a cold and murderous aura.The head that was originally lying on the bottom of the cage quickly rose to the top of the cage, and the golden snake eyes glanced around, as if condescending.

Wherever the line of sight passed, the guests felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet, and a strong sense of crisis emerged spontaneously, so that some monks subconsciously summoned their own swords and held them tightly in their hands to prepare for battle.

Most of you here are here to find the Xuanxu Hell Snake, but they are ordinary people who are half-assed. They have been fighting with each other from the beginning. Even if there is no big fight, it is very likely that there has been friction and unhappiness.I heard that someone caught the Xuanxu Hell Snake, although they were not sullen on the surface, and they could even talk and laugh casually as if nothing had happened, but in fact they were greeting Dongfang's mother in their hearts.

When they came to the banquet this time, the monks had long been prepared to pick the bones in the egg, and the extremely mocking yet polite rhetoric was already brewing in their chests, waiting for the right time to burst out.But just now, just being stared at by the big snake in the cage, all the calculations in their minds were like a small flame in a torrential rain, and they were completely extinguished in an instant, and there was no sign of resurgence.

That kind of icy scrutiny seemed to have substance, making their limbs freeze and their hair stand up.

But it would be too embarrassing to go on like this, so all the monks immediately comforted themselves in their hearts, no matter how powerful their aura was, the giant snake in front of them was just a cage, and they should not be afraid of it.In order to cover up their frightened gaffe, they couldn't wait to talk. The courtyard was more lively than before. It seemed that they saw old friends who hadn't met in 80 years. Everyone had countless topics to talk about.

"It turns out that this is the Xuanxu Hell Snake mentioned by the head of the Life Wheel Sect, and it is just a big snake."

"I heard that the Xuanxu Hell Snake was once called the Earth Spirit God, but it doesn't seem to be very powerful."

"The power of the human race in ancient times was weak, so how can it be compared with the present? Now that the cultivating civilization is flourishing, if you randomly pick out a cultivator of the heavenly rank and put it back 10 years ago, they may be honored as a god descending from the earth."

"It's true. It's just that the landslide in the Qilian Valley is really shocking."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, let's not talk about whether it was an accidental natural disaster, even if it was caused by the big snake in front of him, since he has been captured, naturally there is no need to worry."

……

Everyone strengthened their confidence through this kind of mutual affirmation, and their cold hands and feet quickly returned to warmth, and they all began to laugh at their previous panic in their hearts.Even so, they were shocked by the momentum of the giant snake, and they lost the mind and courage to provoke trouble.The Xuanxu Snake is so terrifying, the blue-robed monk who can subdue him is obviously not a good person.

Since you don't plan to make trouble for anyone, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.Driven by this kind of thinking, the topic of the banquet gradually changed from the mysterious snake to the east, and of course Qi Lianfeng who invited the east was indispensable.

On the one hand, the guests praised Dongfang's great strength, and tried various ways to get close to him. On the other hand, they did not forget to compliment the host of the banquet, saying that he was wise, resolute and unique. Although the scene was full of hypocritical politeness, it was still harmonious scene.

Qi Lianfeng was very satisfied with this. Ever since an inexplicable disaster occurred and the head of the Fate Wheel Sect made another terrible prophecy, not only people in the valley were panicked, but normal production and life were affected, even Qilian Valley's reputation in the immortal and mortal realms It was also forced to make a big discount, and the once-thriving tourism industry plummeted.During this period of time, he was worried about losing a lot of hair, and he didn't even have the time to add new collections to his treasury for a long time.

What?There are monks from all over the continent gathering in the valley, is this a good opportunity to increase income?

Hearing Qi Lianfeng's remarks from the guest minister in his house, he beat the other party's head without saying a word.Those monks rushing here only want to catch monsters, they are all iron cocks, how do they know how to spend?

Until this moment, listening to the conversations of the banquet guests, Qi Lianfeng felt that the turning point had finally arrived.After tomorrow, when these monks from all over the world disperse, people in the immortal and mortal realms of the whole continent will know that the crisis in the Qilian Valley has been resolved.Supplemented by appropriate publicity at that time, it will surely be able to regain its strength and restore the prosperity of the valley in the past.

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and he spoke in a more pleasant manner, which made the servants who were serving on the side close their mouths in shock.

Correspondingly, Dongfang's complexion is not very good.

What people don't know is that under his cold and reserved exterior, there are actually tangled and twisted heartstrings.

Dongfang was originally ordered by his master to investigate the Xuanxu Hell Snake incident, but happened to catch a giant snake that claimed to be the Xuanxu Hell Snake, and he told the matter to the valley owner of the Qilian Valley, and casually agreed with the valley owner. Things, trouble came to the door.

The low-level pheasant monks came to the door one after another to find fault. Apart from provocative tones, they insisted that he was just trying to please the public.Adhering to the master's instruction, Dongfang suppressed the urge to drive away people with a sword in his heart and told the visitors that the black cloth covering the cage was a one-time soul-suppressing magic weapon, and it would be useless if it was lifted. If it will be displayed at the night banquet in the villa, it will definitely not break its promise.

It's just that the other party didn't accept this trick, and instead regarded it as a sign of guilty conscience and made even more outrageous remarks.Dongfang was really impatient, so he simply closed the door to thank the guests.When it came to the night banquet at Qilian Mountain Villa, he promised that the work of the valley owner had been completed. When he thought he could retire with success, he found himself in a new trouble.

Looking at the fake smiles around him, and listening to the compliments that made his head hurt, although Dongfang was expressionless, he really wanted to go home directly.The only problem is this huge gray snake, since it is suspected of being the instigator of a catastrophe, it must be handed over to the Immortal Alliance...

Just as he was wandering in the sky, a clear female voice suddenly sounded, which was especially abrupt among the many praises: "I have a question and I want to ask my friend Dongfang."

The crowd parted, and Tianhe walked over.Different from the greasy smiles on the faces of the surrounding guests, her eyes and brows had a snow-like arrogance and heroism, and her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, which made Dongfang's eyes and ears that were deeply poisoned seem to have been washed, and even her attitude became less indifferent .

"May I ask why?"

"Why does Fellow Daoist think that this is the real Mysterious Underworld Snake?"

Seeing this, Qi Lianfeng immediately said displeased: "Ah Xing, what nonsense are you talking about?"

First, he was alarmist and heard that there were flood ants nesting in the ground, and now he is going to make moths. Tian Wuhui's daughter is really not a worry-free guy!

Dongfang blinked and said as a matter of course: "Of course he told me."

Tian Hexing sneered and said, "You believe everything he says? Isn't it too naive?"

"..."

Dongfang thought, this is not naive.

He has practiced the technique of mirror-mind clarity since he was a child, and he is also very sensitive to distinguish true and false words, so he knows that what the giant snake said is not a lie.What is more helpless is that this kind of thing is not so easy to explain, because there is no actual basis, it will sound like nonsense.Even if you practice it yourself and show it to the other party, it is likely to be regarded as some kind of intuition, and it cannot prove that what the snake said is true.

The hesitation of the blue-robed monk seemed to Tian Hexing to be a sign of uncertainty. She raised her chin slightly and said in a deep voice: "I think fellow Taoists should be more cautious when facing such critical issues. If this is not For the real Xuanxu Hell Snake, the prophecy of the head of the Life Wheel Sect has not come true, and there are still potential hidden dangers in the Qilian Valley, so how can you all be here safely?"

Qi Lianfeng yelled: "Ah Xing!"

"What's more, there may be flood ants nesting at the bottom of the valley..."

"Tianhexing, shut up!" Qi Lianfeng's expression was very fierce, he walked quickly to Tianhexing's side, grabbed her arm and pulled her back, "Don't bring your empty guesses to the banquet Zhonglai, don't think that our two families are family friends, you can mess up my night banquet as you please, even my son dare not do it!"

Also as a heavenly monk, Qi Lianfeng's advantages in the realm were revealed.His five fingers pinched Tian Hexing's arm tightly, no matter how hard the opponent struggled, he couldn't get rid of it.In the confrontation of spiritual power, he obviously had the upper hand, and soon made Tianhe retreat steadily, and the condensed spiritual power collapsed.

Tian Hexing gritted his teeth, and subconsciously drew out his long sword to fight Qi Lianfeng.But thinking that the consequences of this fight might be unimaginable, he held back immediately, and just shouted: "Uncle Qi Lian, you can't escape this problem!"

Qi Lianfeng lowered his voice and shouted: "We'll talk about it after the banquet, you just stop for me now!"

***

Wu Shi and Qili's location can be said to be far away from the noisy center. One of them is unwilling to move, and the other is afraid to move, so they don't quite know what happened there.

When the Xuanxu Hell Snake first appeared in front of everyone, Wu Shi also looked at it with great interest.It's just that although the big snake is big, it looks like a snake in the end, no matter how hard you look at it, it is impossible to see a turtle, so he quickly lost interest and buried his head in front of the table. Send a copy, no embarrassment.

While eating, he was also doing ideological work on Qili under the table.It's just that that guy has been on the ground without saying a word since the appearance of the Xuanxu Hades snake, and seemed to be trying very hard to disguise himself as a stone, so he didn't respond to Wu Shi's words.

Wu Shi scratched his head, thinking that the dead dog was also a monster that once set fire to the spirit god of the earth. Since it could be so fierce at that time, why has it shriveled like this now?Could it be that some unspeakable changes will really take place when the demon reaches middle age?

The dishes on the table were emptied again. He touched his stomach and felt that he should have eaten almost, so he leaned back on the chair comfortably.With nothing to do, he kicked it for Qili and said angrily, "That snake is locked in a cage, what are you afraid of?"

"..."

"With me here, what are you afraid of? Isn't that why you sold me?"

Qili finally poked his head out, as if he had just realized it, he suddenly realized: "That's right."

Wu Shi shook his head, admiring Qili's courage.

"What's more, as I said before, that snake is locked in a cage. What do you have to worry about? Let's talk about it after you run out." Wu Shi said casually, his eyes glanced at the huge cage in the distance inadvertently .

"……Um?!"

I saw the silver patterns on the cage flickering and flickering, and finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, turning into fine pieces of flying smoke and dissipating in the air.The next moment, the cage door on the side slowly opened a crack.

Hey, what kind of magical unfolding is this?
