Chapter 23 Snake Demon

Tick, tick, tick...

It was the sound of rain falling from the leaves.

Yan Bai moved his body, and immediately felt a smooth and cold soft object sliding against his whole body.He opened his eyes, a huge green leaf was hanging on the tip of his nose, turned his head, and saw a white snake leaning on him, the soft object that was against his body just now was this cold-blooded animal.

Speaking of myself, I am now one of them.

He spat out the snake letter, and the information in the air rushed to him in an instant, and the scenery more than ten meters away was completely reflected in his mind.

"Hiss, you're awake." His white snake companion greeted him.Its body is all white, but its eyes are pitch black. Its body is about one meter long, and its diameter is only as thick as a chopstick. It is beautiful both from the perspective of its own kind and from the perspective of a human being.

Said Bai's current image is exactly the opposite, with a pitch-black snake body and blood-red eyes. The combination of these two colors looks quite ominous, and no one will believe that he is not a monster.

He is a snake demon now, or a little snake demon with only 300 years of practice. He only knows the simplest spells, and he is currently practicing hard with his companions.

This is a yew forest. It is said that a golden dragon once again ascended through the catastrophe, so there is plenty of aura, which is especially beneficial to their reptiles.The snakes practicing in this forest can often quickly cultivate spiritual wisdom and then transform without devouring humans.

It's a pity that so far, apart from himself, the snake demon Yan Bai has seen is the white snake next to him, and the others are ordinary snakes that have not yet developed their spiritual wisdom.

He raised the snake's head and spat out the snake letter again: "I'll go find something to eat."

Before the White Snake could reply, it jumped into the grass like a black lightning bolt.I saw the thatch shaking, and a ripple quickly rushed into the distance.The white snake coiled up its body and continued to breathe out spiritual energy to practice.

When Yan Bai came back with a squirrel in his mouth, he found that the white snake that had stayed there had disappeared.He wandered around suspiciously to check, but suddenly found that there were human footprints not far away.

It just rained last night, the ground was muddy, and the prints of straw sandals were very obvious on the ground.Yan Bai swallowed the squirrel in one gulp, chased after the footprints, and came to a trail going up and down the mountain.

There was a very clear mark on the shaft of the car, and the message in the air told Yan Bai that there was a carriage full of wild animals on the mountain 20 meters ahead.He followed quickly, and soon saw the car and the three people driving the carriage.

One of the people sitting in the middle laughed loudly: "We caught quite a few this time, especially the white snake. After digging out its gallbladder and peeling off its skin, I will let my bitch cook snake meat soup for you." Eat. It’s not that I’m bragging to you, her skill of cooking snake meat soup is famous in several villages.”

The other two people were drooling from the description he followed.The three imagined the wonderful life after making money this time, but they didn't know that a big black snake was circling around a thick yew tree nearby. Hearing his words, he narrowed his blood-red eyes like a human being.

Yan Bai raised the tip of his tail and shook it. Immediately, there was a wave in the air that humans couldn't detect.Like a leaf falling on the surface of calm water, the ripples it produces expand round and round.

A group of birds startled from the forest.

The three of them heard the fluttering of the bird's wings and the chirping of the birds, and a chill ran up their spines to the Tianling Gai.They looked at each other and remembered an old monk they met before going up the mountain.At that time, they were riding a carriage and carrying tools through a mountain stream. An old monk beside the stream was filling a jug with water.Seeing that they rushed to the carriage in one stride, their figures were so agile, if the boss who drove the carriage was not a veteran, he would have been knocked out.

The old monk turned a blind eye to the raised horse's hooves that were close at hand, and bent forward with his hands folded indifferently: "Amitabha, where are the three benefactors going?"

The three looked at each other for a while, and finally the boss said, "Let's go to the mountains to get some game."

The old monk shook his head and said: "This mountain is a spiritual mountain, and the animals on this mountain are also spiritual things. The benefactor can't give up his life just because he is greedy for money."

The old monk left after saying this, regardless of how the three people left behind him cursed him for not speaking well.

But now it seems...

A Niu, the most timid of the three, couldn't help expressing his worries: "Is what the old monk said true or false?"

The boss grabbed the reins with a cloudy expression on his face. Just when Asuka started up and the three of them shivered, the horse that had been advancing stopped and turned its head to the side as if listening to something.However, they listened for a long time, except for the sound of raindrops dripping from the trees, there was only the rustling of leaves.No insects, no birds, a little too quiet.And no matter how much he pulled the rein and whipped the horse's back, the old horse refused to go any further.

Hearing Ah Niu's question, he punched him angrily, and shouted: "Fart! Look at that old monk's dilapidated and poor portrait, how can you believe it!" Even so, his pretentiously loud voice lacked breath. , and there was panic on his face that he didn't even know.

A white shadow swished across the woods beside the road.All three of them saw it out of the corner of their eyes, and froze at the same time.

A Niu's voice trembled terribly: "Old, boss, just, that thing just now..."

The boss's face was ashen, and the sentence "nothing at all" got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it anymore.

Even the expression of the third person who had been silent all this time changed. He looked around suspiciously and said in a low voice, "There is indeed something wrong."

Now even the sound of dripping water and wind is gone, only the nervous breathing of the three humans can be heard in silence.

Another white shadow flashed across from the right, the speed and height were obviously beyond the capabilities of human beings.Even a master of martial arts, it is impossible not to make a sound when his clothes rub against a branch.

A Niu couldn't take it anymore, he jumped out of the car and yelled to pull the hemp rope tied on the car, which was used to fix the cages for wild animals.

The boss jumped out of the carriage and grabbed his hand, yelling, "What are you doing!"

A Niu's eyes were gurgling, he looked back and forth in a panic, and then at the beasts in the cage who were quietly watching the three of them, his body trembling like a sieve: "Boss, look at these things... "

Following his gaze, the boss couldn't help but yelled and took a step back.It turned out that the animals that were still biting, biting, and flopping about in the cage all calmed down at some point, staring at them with different pairs of eyes, and those faces covered with fur seemed to have turned into expressionless human faces , to myself.

The second child also jumped out of the carriage and looked at this group of unusual animals with a sullen face.The words of the old monk rang in the ears of the three of them again: "This mountain is a spiritual mountain, and the animals on this mountain are also spiritual things."

They are all spirits...

Or yellow, or green, or black eyes looking at them quietly.

The boss felt a burst of dizziness, he shook his body, and for some reason, the courage that filled his body was like the air of a punctured balloon, and it all disappeared with a stab.He swallowed, thinking of the pregnant women at home, his son is about to be born, so it's better not to cause trouble.

So he sighed and waved his hands: "Forget it, let them go."

Ah Niu cheered and quickly broke away from his hand, and continued to untie the rope.

However, the second child lifted up one of the wooden cages after he untied the rope: "You can release the others if you want, and I will take this snake back."

The boss knew that it was because his only son had a strange disease. A Taoist priest read it and said that it would take the gall of a snake that was at least a hundred years old to be cured, and pointed out that there was such a snake on the Purple Mountain.He is also a father who is about to become a father, of course he can understand the mind of the second child, thinking that they have released so many animals, it doesn't matter if they take one away, so he waved for the second child to take it.

The cage was opened, and all the animals inside slid into the grass, climbed up the tree, and quickly disappeared.

The three of them felt a little heartbroken. Their hard work for most of the day was in vain.

Fortunately, fortunately, at least there is a white snake.

The three of them turned to the cage on the old second hand, the white snake crossed its body with its eyes closed, its white scales were crystal clear like jade carvings, pure and flawless.

"This must be the hundred-year-old snake." The boss nodded, and asked the second child to sit behind and watch the cage, and must not lose the only harvest left.

Yan Bai lingered on the branch, annoyed when he saw that the guy he most wanted to save was left behind.It's a pity that he was running out of mana after using those blindfolds just now, and he couldn't think of a way to rescue the white snake for a while.

At this moment, a child's voice sounded: "What do you want to do!"

The three people and the snake looked at the source of the sound at the same time, and even the white snake in the cage opened its eyes.

A little boy who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old glared at the three grown men with his arms akimbo.

The second child recognized at a glance that this was the boy of the old Liu's family in the east of the village. His parents went to a nearby town to buy things today, and he and his grandfather who talked all day were the only ones at home.Old man Liu is also a strange person. He is crazy. He often predicts natural disasters and man-made disasters. He also said that there is a mountain god on the purple mountain next to the village. He told everyone not to go hunting, or they would die tragically if they angered the mountain god!

Who would believe it, the mountain god, even if there is one, is a god, and of course a god would understand that their lives are not easy for the poor, and they even die miserably!This is a monster!Bah, bah, bah, how could there be monsters in such a small country, I was also confused by old man Liu.The second child thought to himself, and yelled at Liu Xiaozi: "Boy, don't meddle in your own business."

In the end, not only was the child not shunned, but he rushed over like a small cannonball and grabbed the cage in the old man's hands: "You guys are going up the mountain to catch snakes! My grandpa said you can't move the animals on the mountain!"

"Let go." After all, the second child is an adult man, even though he is thinner, he is stronger than a child like Liu Xiaozi. He easily pushed the child upside down, "We have released more than a dozen animals just now. This is the last one! Let's take this one, the mountain god will not blame you."

"No!" Unexpectedly, the child jumped up from the ground, rushed over and twisted the hand of the second child, "You can't take Ah Bai away!"

"Hey, give it back to Bai. Is it because you are fascinated by this snake when you run up the mountain every day? I think you are fascinated by the snake demon!" The son also didn't care about the feelings of the neighbors, so he kicked Boy Liu in the stomach, "Get out!"

The boss and A Niu were both sitting in the car, and told him to calm down: "At any rate, they are all from the same village. You can't look up and look down. Forget it, Liu boy, your uncle is going back to save your brother with snake guts, so you can do it." Tell him to go back quickly with the life-saving medicine."

Boy Liu was lying on the ground, with tears rolling in his eyes, he insisted stubbornly: "Then go catch other snakes and let Ah Bai go!"

Yan Bai listened for a long time on the tree, and then he realized that the reason why White Snake went out at a fixed time at noon every day was to meet this child.How could he say that the white snake had a strange smell every time it came back from hunting, it turned out to be human. He has not seen anyone for 300 years, and he has forgotten what it is like to be human.

But isn't the White Snake called Xiao Hei? How did it steal his name?
