After breakfast, Xie Ci wanted to go to the street to buy clothes and supplies for Jiuyi. When Jiuyi heard this, he was eager to follow him out.

Xie Ci wanted to agree, but after thinking about it, he was a monk, and he stayed alone the first day, but the next morning he brought a handsome young man downstairs with his clothes on, which sounded wrong enough .

He had to tell him vaguely that this effect would not be good.

Jiuyi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I know, are you afraid that they will treat me as your prostitute?"

Xie Ci almost choked on his own saliva, blushing and red-faced: "You, how do you know this kind of word... Also, didn't I tell you to stop calling yourself 'Lao Tzu'!"

"What's the matter?" Jiuyi curled his lips sarcastically, "Little monk, I am old enough to be your ancestor. I don't know anything about your human beings' passing day by day... Speaking of which, I still don't know." I’ve seen quite a few, Wen Renmin’s father likes young girls, don’t you know? Tsk tsk tsk, the taste is really disgusting, we monsters never attack cubs..."

"Okay!" Xie Ci interrupted him unbearably, and said badly, "You can go out with me, you have to change back to your original body."

Jiuyi sat cross-legged on the stool, folded his arms around his chest and said with a sneer, "Monk, you are really thin-skinned."

"Choose one," Xie Ci pinched the bridge of his nose and said tiredly, "There is no need to discuss."

Jiuyi curled his lips, "Okay."

He leaned on the edge of the table and stood up tremblingly like a little mermaid. After a few breaths, he only heard a "呵啦" and a "咚咚". Xie Ci looked down at the mess and fell silent.

A thick long snake tail with a thickness of more than three meters replaced the legs, squatting on the ground, Xie Ci's pants were overwhelmed, and they were broken into a pile of rags, falling pitifully on the ground... The stool was squashed by the tail , Gululu rolled away... and the culprit, the green and heavy snake body was slowly running over his feet...

"What's going on here?" Jiuyi stared at his lower body in horror, looking even more dazed than he was.

Xie Ci took a step back to free his own feet, looked around at the ground where there was almost no place to stand, covered his face and sighed: "Probably you have transformed too early, and you haven't mastered the method of transforming forms yet... "

"Then what should we do?" Jiuyi asked casually, touching the snake's tail with his human palm in novelty.

Wow, so his scales feel like this?Cool, slippery, and nice to the touch!No wonder the monk used to like touching his head so much...

Xie Ci looked at this careless and careless heart, and couldn't even sigh.

"You try it now, can you change back to human form?" He suggested sadly.

Jiuyi stopped touching his hand, holding back his luck for a while, then shook his head honestly and said, "It seems impossible."

Xie Ci was about to kneel down to this ancestor, "Then how long do you have to maintain this half-human, half-snake appearance?"

Jiuyi seemed to have a sense of crisis only at this moment. He was stunned for a while, then sighed in frustration, and said, "Then I can't go out?"

"Now is the time to worry about this?" Xie Ci wanted to flick his forehead like before, but he gave up because the distance was too far, so he said ruthlessly, "Until you are proficient in transforming, it is impossible to go out."

The little snake demon's mood sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the tip of its tail slapped the ground one after another, making a muffled "bang bang bang".

Xie Ci couldn't bear it again, he walked carefully through the gap between Jiuyi's tail, touched the boy's temples, and said: "I have to go shopping in the street, you can stay in the room and practice your body ?”

Jiuyi rubbed his fingers habitually, and said unhappily: "Okay...then you come back early. I want to eat meat, chicken, pork, and mutton are all available, and you can buy some when you come back."

Xie Ci quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded, he coughed lightly, said hastily "I'll come back when I go" in Jiuyi's puzzled eyes, and went out the door as if fleeing.

After a while, he turned back, picked up the money bag that fell on the table with some embarrassment, and left in a hurry again.

Jiuyi scratched his chin in a daze, thinking that the monk probably didn't have a good brain today.

***

Xie Ci quickly returned to the inn after shopping, and asked the kitchen to help him cook a roast chicken.Xiao Er's expression changed as soon as he heard it, obviously he regarded him as a wine and meat monk pretending to be an eminent monk, and he didn't look good towards him for the next few days.

It took another two days for Jiuyi to successfully switch between the human form and the snake form. On the third day early in the morning, Xie Ci packed his luggage, stuffed Jiuyi who had turned back into a snake into his sleeve, and went downstairs to pay the bill. check out.

After they left the city, Jiuyi turned into a human in the forest and put on the clothes Xie Ci bought for him, so one person and one snake became a two-person walk, and the two continued their original route southward.

Xie Ci plans to go to the southwest, to Shiwan Dashan and Southern Xinjiang. The boundary of that land has always been mysterious, and there are many rumors of ghosts and monsters. I think there will be a lot of gains from walking there.

Jiuyi naturally had no objection, and he was even more excited than him when he heard Xie Ci say that there were many spirits in Shiwan Dashan.

It was dusk when they passed the last village before Izumo Mengsawa, Xie Ci wanted to stay overnight in the village before leaving.

When he entered the village, he found that something was wrong. There were ten households and nine empty houses in a small village. There was no smoke from the kitchen, no dogs barking, and only a few chickens and ducks trotting past on the dirt road, which showed that this was an inhabited village.

Xie Ci stopped in front of a family's yard and looked around. The door of the house was wide open, and the simple meals on the table in the main room were still steaming.

"Did something happen to this village?" Xie Ci muttered to himself, and quickly took out the compass from his bag.

Jiuyi spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and said lazily: "I don't smell the same kind of smell...well, I, I, I don't smell the same kind of smell! Is that okay?"

Jiuyi glared at him angrily, raised his finger and pointed in one direction, and said, "But I heard some voices, over there."

Yaozu's hearing is excellent, and the two walked in the direction where Jiuyi heard the sound for half a stick of incense. Before they knew it, it was dark. They walked to a small lake, and they could see the flames intertwined in the distance. There were so many people, it seemed that the whole village was here, and they didn't know what they were doing by the lake.

Both of them have good night vision, so naturally they don't need to light a torch. They approached in the dark, and the noise gradually became louder. It seemed that there was some quarrel in the crowd.Xie Ci could not be heard clearly, so he asked the people around him: "Ah Jiu, can you hear what those villagers are saying?"

Jiuyi frowned and carefully distinguished, the frown became tighter and tighter, and he said uncertainly: "They seem to be saying...someone to be burned to death...some disaster star, evil seed or something..."

"What?" Xie Ci was startled, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

The surface of the lake is dark and the surrounding fields are silent, making it even more bright and noisy where the crowds gather.As the distance approached, Xie Ci could distinguish the woman's howling, the man's scolding, and the quarrels of other people.

"Wang Daniu! She is our daughter! Are you human!"

"Daughter? My daughter! This is a disaster! If my mother and my son are killed, who knows if you and I will be killed next!"

"That's right, Da Niu's daughter-in-law, this girl is really not clean..."

"Oh, she also said that she can see ghosts, it's so scary! I heard from our kid that the girl saw a hanged ghost lying on top of her brother, and that's why Daniel's son was strangled to death!"

"Listen!" The man named Daniu was even more furious, "Da Ya is bewitched! There is a monster in her body, she must be burned to death!"

The woman howled loudly, shouting heart-piercingly: "What bewitched you are! Lan'er is my daughter, the child I worked so hard to give birth to, and you watched it grow up!"

"Yo... Is the big cow's daughter-in-law also bewitched?"

"It must be haunted by monsters, right?"

"This calamity can't stay, it will kill the whole village!"

The pile of dead branches by the lake had already been set up, and the child who had been silent from beginning to end was pulled in by her father while being pulled by her mother, kneeling on the ground and begging bitterly.

"Amitabha."

At this moment, a clear and clear verse came from outside the crowd, although the voice was not loud, it overwhelmed all the noise, and everyone suddenly felt as if they were hit by a blow, and they all stopped for a while.

The young monk in the white hemp robe walked over unhurriedly, and the crowd automatically made way for him. These mud-legged people who had only been farming and fishing all their lives looked at this extraordinary monk in silence and awe. When the gods come down to earth.

Xie Ci put his palms together in front of his chest, slowly looked around, and said gently: "Why are all the benefactors gathered here, and what troubles do you have? The poor monk would like to hear a little bit."

It was the head of the village who came to his senses first, and the old man stepped forward with hands folded and bowed in trepidation, and stumbled to explain the whole story.

This villager Wang Daniu and his wife used to have a son and a daughter, the old mother is still alive, and their family is considered well off in the whole village.But just over a year ago, Wang Daniu's daughter, Da Ya, suffered from a serious illness and almost died. Later, she was rescued with great difficulty, but she suffered from a problem in one eye.

Wang Daniu and his wife originally thought that although their daughter's broken eye would have some impact on their marriage in the future, they were not poor and their child was good-looking, so it didn't have much impact after all.Unexpectedly, in the following year, his mother and child died one after another. The mother slipped and fell into the water. The eldest daughter, who became a bit weird, claimed that she saw ghosts lying on her grandmother and younger brother before they were alive, and they were killed by ghosts...

Wang Daya's words quickly spread throughout the village, causing panic in the whole village. When she said again that she saw a burnt ghost lying on her father's neck, the poor and honest farmer finally collapsed completely. With the help of the whole village, she decided to take her daughter to the lake and burn her to death as a sacrifice to the water god.

After listening to Xie Ci quietly, there was no words in the anxious eyes of the villagers, and he walked quickly to the tangled family.

He first glanced at Wang Daniu and his wife, and sure enough, he saw a strong black air in their seals.He sighed silently, and looked down at the little girl who curled up like a chick and didn't say a word.

The child is said to be seven years old, but he is so malnourished that he looks only five years old.

"Child, look up." He said to her gently.

The little girl trembled suddenly, and was pinched severely by her father, and finally raised her head reluctantly.

Her eyes were big and round, they were supposed to be beautiful cat eyes, but the left eyeball was covered with a thick layer of gray, which looked very weird.

Sure enough, it was a yin and yang eye.

"What's your name?"

The girl kept her mouth tightly shut, her father slapped her on the back of the head cursingly, her thin body shook, and she said in a hoarse and strange voice, "Ling Lan. My name is Ling Lan."
