It was twilight outside the window, the sky was getting dark, and I was about to light the lamp when I suddenly heard Xiaochan's voice outside the house:

"Brother Zhishui, immortal...... The Immortal Master is here!"

My eyes lit up, and I hurriedly walked out of the house, and then pulled Xiaochan and ran in the direction of the village.

After a while, I took Xiaochan to the front of the village, and I saw a clansman carrying a basket full of snakes on his back, and put the basket in front of an old woman standing in front of the gate of the village.

The old woman was bent over, with a rickety figure, a black robe embroidered with snake patterns, half-squinted eyes, and just looked at the baskets on the ground with an indifferent expression.

The father, as the owner of the village, was standing not far from the old woman, urging the clansmen to transport a large number of snakes.

I pulled Xiaochan and walked behind my father, looking at the old woman in black carefully, and I couldn't help but be a little curious.

The immortal master who came to collect the snake this time was actually replaced?

The immortal master who used to come to the village to collect snakes was a man in a purple robe, but the pattern embroidered on the robe was the same as this old woman.

After a while, my father spoke: "Master Immortal, all the snakes caught in the village this month are here. ”

"That's it?" The old woman in black had a hoarse voice, glanced at the basket on the ground, frowned slightly, and said, "Did Master Qian's nephew also collect such a little before?"

Father hurriedly said: "Master Immortal, the number of snakes that Immortal Master Qian collected before is not as much as this time, and this has been collected in the village for a month. ”

"That's it, so be it. ”

The old woman in black didn't bother to speak, and as soon as she waved her robe, the baskets on the ground began to fly into her cuffs.

I originally wanted to ask the immortal master to help see if Xiaochan had the qualifications to refine qi, but the immortal master in front of me didn't seem to be easy to deal with, so I still held back.

At this time, the clothes on Xiaochan's chest bulged slightly, and she saw a small black-scaled snake swimming out of her chest along her collar and hissing snake.

I couldn't help but glance at the black-scaled little snake, this little thing, ate and slept, slept and ate, and delayed him to help Xiaochan temper his chest muscles.

"Huh?"

The black-clothed old woman suddenly let out a soft sound of doubt, her half-squinted eyes suddenly widened, staring at the black-scaled snake on Xiaochan's chest, her eyes were full of incredulity.

I noticed the expression of the old woman in black, and I couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately, the old woman in black looked at Xiaochan in disbelief, as if she wanted to see something.

"Immortal Master?" said my father, confused.

The old woman in black hesitated for a moment and beckoned to Xiaochan: "Little girl, come here." ”

Xiaochan glanced at me, I nodded to her, and said softly, "Maybe the immortal master found out that you have qi refining qualifications?"

Xiaochan walked in front of the old woman in black with some apprehension, and looked at the old woman in black with some nervousness.

The old woman in black took a closer look at the black-scaled snake wrapped around Xiao Chan's neck, and asked in a low voice, "This Extreme Yin Spirit Python, where did you come from?"

"Extreme Yin...... Spirit python?" Xiaochan looked dazed and said, "Brother Zhishui and I ...... Inside a snake cave...... Picked up. ”

"You mortal, how did you make it choose its master?" said the old woman in black with a frown.

"I don't know...... Xiaochan said a little confused, "Maybe it's because ...... It has drunk my blood, so draw closer to me......"

"Drank your blood?"

The old woman in black became more and more puzzled, and asked, "That's it, what else?"

"It's gone......" Xiaochan shook her head.

The old woman in black looked at Xiao Chan for a moment, and a dark blue flame like candlelight suddenly lit up in her eyes, and then she reached out and grabbed Xiao Chan's arm, and a ray of light immediately penetrated into Xiao Chan's body surface.

After a while, the old woman in black suddenly looked at Xiaochan in shock and muttered, "No wonder...... No wonder ......"

She stared at Xiaochan as if she had found a treasure, her eyes full of joy and greed...... After a long while, he asked, "Little guy, are you willing to follow me to practice?"

Xiaochan was slightly stunned, but she didn't answer, but turned her head to look at me, and then asked, "Immortal Master...... Then you can bring Brother Shuishui...... Do you want to practice together?"

"Him?"

The black-clothed old woman's eyes burning with dark blue flames looked at me for a moment, and said indifferently: "He doesn't have the qualifications to refine qi, how can he cultivate?"

Xiaochan hurriedly said, "That...... I can ...... with Brother Zhishui Double Cultivation!"

As soon as she said this, I suddenly noticed that the village had become quiet, my father looked at me strangely, and the eyes of the people around me widened.

What's the reaction?

I'm a little confused, what's wrong with double cultivation?

The corner of the old woman in black twitched slightly, looked at me with an unkind face, and said hoarsely: "You little doll is only so old, you actually teach her like this?"

"Isn't it good to double cultivate?" I wondered.

"That's right......" Xiaochan also said seriously: "I want to double cultivate with Brother Zhishui!"

The old woman in black coughed and said in a low voice: "Don't mention this matter for the time being, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

Xiaochan didn't agree, but looked at me.

I nodded to her.

Xiaochan nodded and said, "Immortal Master...... I do. ”

"Good. ”

The old woman in black showed a smile and said, "Then you can go back to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave with me and practice hard." ”

"Wait a minute...... Can't you bring Brother Zhishui with you?" Xiaochan hurriedly asked.

"No, you can't. The old woman in black frowned, and then coaxed softly: "Ten Thousand Snake Cave Heaven is too dangerous for mortals, he is just a mortal, and he can't go." ”

Xiaochan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then can I stay and cultivate?"

When the old woman in black heard this, she couldn't help but glance at me coldly.

Somehow, I vaguely felt a touch of murderous intent in those eyes, and I couldn't help but breathe.

However, the old woman in black still coaxed: "If you don't go to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, you can't cultivate, but when you succeed in cultivation, I will naturally take you back to see him." ”

Xiaochan turned her head to look at me, and when she saw that I didn't speak, she hesitated and said, "That...... All right. ”

The old woman in black stretched her brows and said, "Then you can prepare, and go back to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave with me." ”

Xiaochan walked in front of me, suddenly reached out and hugged me, lying in my arms, and after a while looked up at me, her eyes were red, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Zhishui......"

"Don't cry. I reached out and touched her head, and said, "You're going to cultivate, it's not that you can't see me, I'll wait for you and me to double cultivate in the future!"

"Hmm...... I've been practicing for a while...... I'll come back and double cultivate with you!" Xiaochan nodded vigorously, then took out the little black-scaled snake from her arms, handed it to me, and said, "I'm gone...... Just let Xiao Yu accompany you. ”

I was about to take Xiao You, but I heard the old woman in black suddenly shout: "No, the key to your cultivation lies in this spirit python, how can you give it away?"

Xiaochan was slightly stunned.

I said, "You can keep it, the faster you cultivate, the more powerful you become, so that you can help me cultivate together." ”

Xiaochan nodded and said, "Okay......"

The old woman in black breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at her father again, and said indifferently: "Master Lin Zhai, about this spirit python, please keep it secret, don't reveal it for half a point, otherwise it will ......"

At the end of the day, the threat in her tone suddenly increased.

Father's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Immortal Master, don't worry, I will definitely make the clan keep it secret and will not tell anyone." ”

The old woman in black nodded indifferently, and then said to Xiaochan, "It's time for us to go." ”

Xiaochan reluctantly raised her head from my arms and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhishui, I will definitely come back to you, you have to wait for me......"

"Hmm. I nodded.

Soon, Xiaochan followed the old woman in black and left.

When the old woman in black walked away, I turned my head to look at my father, and couldn't help but say, "Father, why do I think this immortal master is weird?"

The father nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "The way she looks at Xiaochan is also a little wrong, I always feel that it doesn't look like the master has found a good apprentice...... Moreover, it seems that I am still a little worried that what kind of spirit python is known, mysterious and mysterious. ”

At this time—

"Huh?"

My father suddenly looked in the direction behind me.

I turned my head and saw a cloud of lilac smoke like a thick fog, suddenly drifting from the sky, and with a gust of wind blowing, it quickly spread into the village.

"What?"

Suddenly, my eyes went black, and I felt like the world was spinning, and then my body went limp, and I fell to the ground.

This is...... What's wrong?

Toxic mist?

I lay on the ground unconscious, and my father looked at me with a panicked expression, one hand of the sleeve of my coat blocked my mouth and nose, and the other hand blocked my own mouth and nose, but the poisonous gas seemed to be pervasive, and my father soon fell to the ground with a great change of face.

I heard my father roar angrily, as if he had exhausted his last strength, "Just because we are afraid of revealing secrets, will we destroy the whole village?"

"Why? Why! Can an immortal master slaughter us mortals at will?"

"The clansmen in the village have been busy for so many years for the immortal master of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave Heaven, and they clearly said that they wanted to protect us, why!

"Mother-in-law, my child!"

"Just for a secret, all three hundred and twenty-one people in the village will die?!"

"Oh my God, open your eyes!"

The surrounding clansmen also seemed to fall to the ground one after another, shouting and scolding in anger and unwillingness, and the screams of bitterness and hatred echoed in the village.

"Extinguish...... Why ......?"

I lay groggily on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, the year flashing through my mind, and then falling into darkness.

……

When they opened their eyes again, they found that there was a darkness in front of them again, and they had recovered from the state of personality that had lost all memory and was completely trapped in 'me'.

"It can actually shield the memory of the original god...... Let the mind feel only the memories of others......"

"It's also called stopping water, this ...... Is that the experience of 'it'?"

"That old woman in black is a cultivator of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave Heaven in the ancient times, the Extreme Yin Spirit Python is indeed rare in ancient times, and it is of great benefit to the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave Heaven, she is afraid that she is worried that the Extreme Yin Spirit Python will be discovered by outsiders, so she will destroy that village......"

"Ruthless enough, I'm afraid she's not just for the Extreme Yin Spirit Python, her physical limit is approaching, and she probably also likes that Xiaochan's body, and plans to wait for her to get started with cultivation before taking it." ”

"Ten Thousand Snake Cave Heaven is not a demonic path, and it is actually so vicious?"

Many powers have spoken.

After a while, the indifferent voice sounded again: "You don't need to say more, the three hundred and twenty-one people in this snake village are just an insignificant drop of water among the trillions of trillions of mortals in the ancient world. ”

The indifferent voice paused and said, "What's more...... Everyone has their own position, if you stand in the position of 'Ji Qiuling', you will definitely not follow her path?"

"What if...... When you get to that point, what will you choose?"

……

In ancient times, as many immortals and gods established cultivation sects in the human world, the number of cultivators in the human world became more and more numerous.

The path of cultivation is a bottomless pit, and people's hearts have unlimited desires and limited resources, which leads to the increasingly insufficient cultivation resources in the human world, and they are competing for, plundering, betraying, and exterminating human nature...... The human world has long been enveloped in the flames of war between cultivators.

You, called Ji Qiuling, were born in the Three Thousand Worlds of the Human World, the Great Xia World, the Nine Rivers Territory, and the Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain.

You are a very common foundling.

Because you have excellent cultivation qualifications, you were selected by the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave Heaven to soak your body in snake blood and snake venom from your infancy, so that you can cultivate the Ten Thousand Snakes Dao Body in the future and become the best 'thug' in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave Heaven.

When you were seven years old, you were fed the Ten Thousand Snake Blood Pill by an elder, and then under the elder's indifferent eyes, you were sent into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave with a group of the same children.

In the dark, you cry and want to leave, but in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, countless poisonous snakes have already submerged you, and cold, slippery, fishy, and terrifying poisonous snakes continue to slide over your body, burrowing into your mouth, ears, nose, etc., entrenched in your body, and you are gradually numb in the darkness of terror......

Seven days later, you are the only one alive.

Ten Thousand Snakes Cave Heaven began to cultivate you with all kinds of poisonous pills and snake medicines, and in five years, he cultivated you into a rare Ten Thousand Snakes Dao Body, and had the 'Ten Thousand Snakes True Yin', and then was favored by an elder and became his furnace.

You don't dare to resist, and you can't resist it.

But you stumble upon the fact that this elder who has been plundering you has a weakness, and when Mochizuki arrives, he will need to reverse the exercises and will become weaker.

You've been patient for three years, and you don't want to endure it anymore, so you put down all your face, and after paying all the costs, you got a poison pill from a certain senior brother.

You take the poison pill in your mouth, silently wait for the opportunity, and work harder and more obediently to cater to your hated enemy.

Finally, when you went out with the elder, you took advantage of the arrival of Mochizuki to kill the elder, disguised him as a poison-swallowing cultivator who failed to practice and went mad and died, obtained his Ten Thousand Snake Venom Sutra and elixir, and after destroying the corpse, you returned to the sect and began to practice desperately.

You don't want to go back to the past, you don't want to let others bully you anymore, so you are desperate and crazy to cultivate, and even the face that should be eternal youth has become old because of cultivation.

But you don't care, you just want to exterminate this Ten Thousand Snake Cave Heaven that will make you suffer for the rest of your life.

Pity...... Because you were robbed of too much Yuan Qi and True Yin when you were young, and your potential was over-squeezed, after you cultivated to become an elder of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave Heaven, you didn't know how many years you couldn't go further, and it seemed that you would never see the opportunity to exterminate the Ten Thousand Snake Cave Heaven.

On this day, the disciple you sent to collect snakes was in retreat, and when you had nothing to do, you went to the snake village to collect snakes in person.

But you didn't expect that you actually found a great opportunity that is rare for a thousand years, and found a spirit beast that is most suitable for the cultivation of the Ten Thousand Snake Venom Sutra 'Extreme Yin Spirit Python', even the ancestor who created the Ten Thousand Snake Cave Heaven does not have such an opportunity, and there is even a girl with excellent qualifications who can let you regain and rebuild!

You see the hope of destroying the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave Heaven, but you are worried that your fellow disciples will know about such an opportunity, and with your strength, it will be impossible to keep it.

But fortunately, only the more than 300 people in this snake village know this secret.

You...... How will you choose?

……

"Wait, how will you choose?"

In the darkness, the indifferent voice slowly echoed in the hearts of many powerful people.
