In fact, he was discovered the day Xie Ci took the little snake demon back.

Master Xueting waited for the concubine concubine Chen, who was sneering at him, to settle down, and then asked Xie Ci to meet him. First, he exchanged greetings and said a few words about the school exam, and then said unhurriedly: "The one in your hand, take it out. Show me."

Xie Ci didn't intend to hide it from the old man, he honestly pulled up his sleeves, and the little green snake raised his head, meeting the wise eyes of the old monk.

The little monster seemed to be taken aback. He bowed back and hissed, as if preparing to attack.

"Quiet!" Xie Ci hurriedly scolded him, stretched out the index finger of the other hand and gently pressed its head.

The little snake nimbly turned its head to avoid it, turned its head and glared at him viciously, then turned back and stared at Xue Ting threateningly.

Thanking him is a bit embarrassing, he originally wanted to show the cute (occasionally) cute (reluctantly) appearance of this little snake monster, so that the master can promise him to keep it, but he didn't expect this little guy to be so unfriendly when he came up. I've probably eaten up all the instructions I've babbled with for a long time.

"Master..." Xie Ci didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, it's okay." Unexpectedly, Xueting stared at the little snake demon for a long time with a childlike innocence, and then smiled slightly, and said kindly, "I think this little demon has a lot of wisdom, let it stay, it happens to be in the temple. There is a rat plague recently, and you little friend can still help. It’s just that you need to teach it well, and you can’t let it do evil, Sikong, do you understand?”

"Disciple understands." Xie Ci clapped his hands together in surprise.

The little snake snuggled back into his arm, and rubbed it affectionately like a child inviting pets.

Since then, this Zhuyeqing has had an official status in the Xuanbei Temple. The little snake demon is only over 300 years old. In the demon clan, he is just a hairy child with no teeth. The mind is probably only about the size of a seven or eight year old human child.

By the way, this is still a little male snake with a very bad temper.The little snake demon is not clingy at all, and when he is in a good mood, he rubs sticky on Xie Ci's arm, but most of the time he spends his time in the wild on the mountain where no snake is seen. Often when Xie Ci goes back to his room to sleep at night, he will sleep under the blanket I felt a small snake that had a muddy smell and I didn't know where it had rolled.

Xie Ci basically has to experience the feeling of being a father in every world, so when facing this little monster with a bad temper, he showed patience and peace beyond ordinary people.

It's really strange, every time Xiaolu rubbed his snow-white monk's robes dirty, crawled into his bed with dead branches and fallen leaves from nowhere, and placed them on the head of his bed with a squeaking mouse in his mouth like a treasure. , Xie Ci is not only not angry, but also thinks it is quite cute.

Xiaolu is the name Xie Ci gave it, because it is a green snake with no variegation. When Xie Ci called it that for the first time, Xiaolu wagged her tail in disgust and pretended not to hear it. But after a lot of times, it seems to have resigned to its fate, and when it is in a good mood, it will shake its noble little head when thanking it.There will always be one or two times out of ten.

Su Zhen was imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, the only place where she could lock her uncontrollable demonic energy.Su Niangniang felt as if she had returned to her hometown after entering the Demon Locking Tower. On the first day, she became the boss of all the demons, and with all the things Wen Renmin prepared for her, she was quite comfortable raising her baby.

Although the Suoyao Pagoda is called a pagoda, half of it is embedded in the indestructible Xuanshi mountain of Wuji Mountain, and it is really suppressed at the bottom of the mountain.To get to the Suoyao Tower, you have to walk down the steep cliffs like a mirror. There are only narrow plank roads without guardrails. It will take an hour to get down the cliff.

Xie Ci will take Xiaolu to the bottom of the cliff once or twice a month. Xiaolu and Su Zhen are both monsters. The arrogant little monster likes this big monster quite a lot. Its practice is also beneficial.

After Su Zhen was pregnant, she was extremely acidophilic, Xie Ci, so every month when she went down the mountain to the town to buy, she would go to the candied fruit shop to buy a lot of sour plums, and then bring them to her when she went to see Su Zhen every month.

When the glamorous fox demon is eating prunes with sour back molars and stroking the little snake coiled on her lap, she can also say a few words less critical and sarcastic about Xie Ci.

Xie Ci would occasionally teach her to recite a few mantras to keep the baby in her womb safe. When he taught the Green Tara mantra, Xie Ci just gave her the Green Tara scriptures collected from the scripture library, but he didn't care about it. read.

Su Zhen rolled her eyes, and asked with a smile: "Little master, why don't you read it?"

"This is a mantra that only pregnant women can recite." Xie Ci said calmly.

"You are more interesting than your master." Su Zhen saw that he was calm and composed, and his face didn't even blush, so he couldn't help but feel happy. See what your blushing face looks like..."

The pregnant female fox is even more coquettish, but Xie Ci, who is used to her appearance, is blind. He reached out and lifted Xiaolu from the ground, who had bitten a mouthful of prunes and was so sour that he spat out, and said helplessly: "Benefactor Su It's a lie. The poor monk is only six years younger than His Majesty."

Then how can you deal with Wen Renmin, who is dozens of times your grandson's age?

Su Zhen's smile disappeared immediately, she picked up a plum, and said lightly: "That's different."

Xie Ci never wanted to inquire about Su Zhen's story. He had seen too many sad people and sad things. He knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he put his palms together and lowered his eyes, whispered a verse and stopped talking.

Su Zhen glanced at him sideways, and said with a light smile, "Little Master, your heart is really hard."

perhaps.Thank you and smile.

Demons live for thousands of years, and their hearts may still be pure.But people are different.

Humans have the seven emotions and six desires, greed, anger and ignorance, love and hatred, sadness and joy. Human life is as short as a fleeting moment, but only such a short life can bear the lingering love and delusions.

I have lived for too long, but my heart is still a human heart, and the long time cannot support the short-term love and hatred of human beings.

It's just that after more than 200 years, Xie Ci can't remember what he looked like back then.

***

Xie Ci likes life on Wuji Mountain very much. There is no task, no need to fight for his life in the camp. He can read scriptures and read books, play the piano and play chess, meditate and practice every day. With a human pet by his side, he can be considered leisurely.

He can endure loneliness better than anyone else, even if he sits on the porch with nothing to do all day long, he won't feel bored, after all, he couldn't even see this mountain view for 100 years.

It's just that his master, Master Xue Ting, didn't want to see the young apprentice stay at home all day in the deep mountains, so not long after Su Zhen gave birth, Xie Ci went down the mountain again early in the morning, with a bamboo hat, A string of prayer beads, a compass, a bit of silver, a change of clothes, and a bamboo leaf green coiled on his arm.

He remembered that many, many years ago, he also traveled around in the third world for nearly ten years, but he was alone at that time, but now he has Xiaolu as his companion.

Being a donkey friend and keeping a pet is really living the life of a retired old man.

The return date of this cloud tour was uncertain, Xie Ci thought that he was going on a trip, with his status as a monk and his gentle and polite appearance, it can be said that there were no disadvantages along the way, and his life was quite nourishing.He started from Wuji Mountain and went all the way south, crossing the Qinling Mountains to the Jianghan Plain.There are so many spirits and monsters in the Qinling Mountains, he stayed there for an extra month.It was also during this month that Xie Ci discovered Xiaolu's monster power attribute.

A snake takes a thousand years to become a dragon, and a dragon takes a thousand years to transform into a dragon. The growth process of a snake monster is difficult and long.Every time the snake demon sheds its skin, it is a refinement of demon power. After a long period of transformation, the demon power will become more and more pure. Therefore, although the snake demon practice is extremely difficult, the growth of strength in the later stage will be more terrifying .

Most of the cultivation of the monster race is like this, but the snake demon is the leader in the world of hard work.This is also why many little monsters can smash Xie Ci with a single finger, but when encountering a big monster like Su Zhen who has practiced Taoism for more than a thousand years, even Xue Ting may not have the power to resist.

Xiaolu is only around two hundred years old, and has not shown any other abilities before, except for spiritual wisdom and human speech, so Xie Ci has always regarded it as a particularly humane little pet.But during this month in Qinling, Little Green ushered in its shedding period.

The shedding of the snake demon's skin is completely different from that of ordinary snakes. Every time the demon sheds its skin, it is a rebirth. The tempering of the demon's bones is very painful, and may even be bloody.

On that day, Xie Ci accepted the entrustment of a village to subdue the bear monsters in the mountains.That demon bear is already a human bear, he has tasted human flesh, he is extremely ferocious, much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.Xie Ci wrestled with it for a long time, suffered some injuries, but failed to gain the upper hand. Seeing that the bear demon's huge claws were about to grab his chest and abdomen, Xiaolu, who had been hiding early, shot out and bit hard. Grabbing the bear demon's arm, the snake demon's fangs pierced through the rough skin and thick flesh of the human bear, and the deadly venom made the huge monster fall to the ground in an instant.

Before entering the mountain, Xie Ci asked the hunter in the village for a hunting knife. He skillfully sliced ​​out the inner alchemy of the bear demon, and finally he did not forget to give the monster a dead body.After he finished all this work, he realized that the hero Xiaolu had been lying on the ground for a long time.

Xie Ci hastily took it out of the pile of fallen leaves full of guilt, only to find that the cold-blooded animal was hot to the touch.

"Little green, what's wrong with you?" Xie Ci asked it in shock and fear, "Bear blood is poisonous? Are you poisoned?"

The poisonous snake Xiaolu raised her reddened golden eyes and gave him a sideways glance. Even though she was very weak, she still didn't forget to express her contempt.

Xie Ci looked at its slumped head, the abnormal high temperature all over his body, and remembered some books he had read in order to raise pets... Suddenly, blessed to the heart, Xie Ci blurted out: "Green, do you want Molted?"

Xiaolu replied by shaking the tip of her tail weakly, Xiaodouzi's eyes dimmed a lot.

Xie Ci didn't know what to do for a while, the process of shedding the skin of the snake demon is bloody and brutal, that is, it really takes off a layer of flesh and blood from the body, uses the blood to temper the bones, and then grows a new layer of skin and flesh Come.Snake demons are extremely fragile during the moulting period. This period lasts from a day to a month. They must find an absolutely safe place, otherwise they will die if they are not careful.

Xie Ci is not worried about Xiaolu's safety, but he can't take it back to the human village right now, so he has to find a place to stay overnight in the deep mountains and old forests, and accompany it through the molt period.

Snakes like dampness, Xie Ci found a small pool formed by years of rain, and put the hot little green under the rocks beside the pool.

Little Green slowly pushed her head into the wet soil and buried herself in it.

Xie Ci sat cross-legged on the rock, stroking the Buddha beads to protect it.

Xiaolu's shedding period lasted for three days, and Xie Ci pushed the soil away every morning and evening to see if she was still panting.In the first few times, Little Green would move the tip of her tail slightly, but then she didn't know if she was bored or lacked energy, so she ignored him.If he could not still feel Xiaolu's slow and weak heartbeat, Xie Ci would have thought that this guy would not be able to survive.

Several times when he pushed aside the soil, he could feel the wet and cold blood on his hand, which was almost pinkish red.

It was the third night that the little snake demon completely shed its skin.After three full days of sleepless nights, Xie Ci's body was a bit weak no matter how hard he was. He chanted the mantra of clearing his mind to stay awake, and anxiously waited for the long night to pass.

In July, there was fire, and the dew was deeper. Sitting cross-legged on the cold rock, Xie Ci suddenly heard the sound of water.

The forest was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, but his night vision was far superior to that of ordinary people. As soon as Xie Ci turned his head, he saw the water in the pool swaying slightly, the ripples gradually expanded, and even small and fine waves appeared. Beating the pebbles on the shore...

This scene is really weird, there is no wind tonight, and the pool of water is not running water, so it is impossible to vibrate for no reason anyway.Xie Ci's first reaction was that there was a monster approaching in the water, so he took out the hot compass from his backpack, but the pointer of the compass just stubbornly pointed to his feet.

At this moment, a small cluster of cyan light gradually lit up under the rock, the cyan light was still very weak at first, Xie Ci was busy alerting the surroundings and even didn't notice it at all, but it didn't take long for it to become so bright that it was absolutely impossible to ignore , the soft and bewitching Qinghua illuminated a small area around him, enveloping Xie Ci in it.

The dark mountain forest became like a dream, and the light broke through the ground. A green snake that was more than one finger longer than before came out from the ground. Hua took it back inch by inch.

Xie Ci held his breath in front of such a strange and beautiful picture, and suddenly felt his face was a little wet, and his eyelashes were even dripping with water.He thought it was raining at night at the bottom of the mountain, but when he looked up, he found that it was the small pool of water, the water in it turned into mist, which permeated the surrounding air, reflecting flickering light in the blue light faint.

The light mist in the mountains gathers in strands and strands, and the cyan demon power strings them together, wrapping the sky full of water mist in a small cocoon.

Xie Ci stretched out his hand, and the cocoon that seemed to be alive with flowing light slowly fell into the palm of his hand.

At some point, Xiaolu, who was on his shoulder, leaned closer and rubbed against his chin.

The author has something to say:

In the next chapter, Ah Jiu will become a human being!

Jinjiang seems to have smoked tonight, and posted it three times...
