31: Visitors from the sky
"Sister...... Sister~~"
Although the image in the light faded, Xie Xiaoqing, who unexpectedly saw the old scene again, had lost all his fighting spirit because of this. She couldn't suppress the excitement in her chest, and suddenly knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly. The scales, fangs, claws, and other inhuman features on the body quickly faded in the cry.
The strength is gone, and the last thing left is only a piece of weakness. At this time, if the Dark Warrior Body wants to continue fighting, then as long as she steps forward and strikes casually, she can easily take her life.
But the opposite is true. I saw the black qi rolling, and the dark battle body broke away from Cheng Li's body, curled up into a mass of pitch-black liquid-like things, and then was stretched out and taken back.
Cheng Li breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the glazed treasure knife, flicked his fingers on the blade, and muttered: "Treasure knife, treasure knife, it turns out that you used to be a sword? This is really unexpected......
The sword buzzed, like emotion, but also like sighing. Cheng Li turned his gaze to Xie Xiaoqing and said slowly: "But I can't think of it." It turns out that you are the legendary green snake that follows the white snake. ...... in this world It turns out that there are really demons and monsters, immortals and Buddhas...... It's incredible. ”
Xie Xiaoqing's sobbing gradually stopped. After a while, she slowly raised her head, and between her eyebrows, she regained some calm.
Looking at the glazed treasure knife in Cheng Li's hand, she sighed faintly: "Whether there are immortals and Buddhas in the world, I don't know this." The ghost that a person becomes after death, let alone me, even if my sister has cultivated for thousands of years, she has never encountered it. The only thing we can be sure of is that 'humans are not the same race as us,' and that's it. ”
Cheng Li couldn't help but ask, "You and your sister...... Is it true that the green snake and the white snake have cultivated into demons? If so, this is incredible. ”
Xie Xiaoqing's eyebrows showed a little confusion, and he said slowly: "Whether I am a snake or not, in fact, I don't know this either." At least in my memory, I don't have the impression of being a snake. And we can't really be snakes.
In us, though, there are indeed characteristics of snakes. There are also many habits that snakes share. Our master has always regarded herself as the 'snake mother'. Therefore, it is not wrong for the world to say that we are snake spirits or snake demons. ”
"......? It seems that things are quite complicated. ”
Cheng Li nodded, "Choking~" and put the knife into the sheath. Then put away the two Browning pistols that had been out of the fusion state as well. walked over and stretched out his hand to Xie Xiaoqing and said, "Get up." Sitting on the ground will catch a cold, which is not good. ”
Xie Xiaoqing raised his head and looked at his hand blankly. After a while, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "Don't you suspect that I am going to harm you?"
Cheng Li shook his head and said, "I just want to know who you are and what your intentions are." As for harming me, I've never been worried about that. Because all the people who want to harm me will find out in the end that he is the only one who is unlucky. ”
Xie Xiaoqing sighed: "This is a very arrogant sentence. But I believe that your strength is indeed worthy of such arrogance. If the ...... Alas~ If the person my sister met back then was you, she would not have left so many regrets and remorse. ”
"It seems that the story will be long. ”
Cheng Li nodded again, took the initiative to grab Xie Xiaoqing's hand, and pulled her up. "Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly." ”
Xie Xiaoqing sighed softly again, let Cheng Li grab his hand, and the two went down the mountain together.

"During the Qingming Festival, it rained a lot, and the pedestrians on the road wanted to break their souls. By asking where the restaurant is, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village. ”
The "Xinghua Village" written in the poem "Qingming" is located in what place, in fact, the poet did not say clearly. Whether there is even a village called Xinghua Village, or whether it is just a random improvisation by the poet, is controversial.
The only thing that can be assured is that since this poem has spread all over the world, I don't know how many villages in the world have been renamed Xinghua Village. And swore that the poet said that the Xinghua Village was his own place.
Even West Lake Hangzhou is not exempt from vulgarity. It is next to the left side of the tomb of King Yue next to the West Lake, and not far from the Taoguang Temple, one of the top ten jungles in the West Lake, there is also an apricot blossom village.
There is Xinghua Village, and naturally there can be no restaurant. In fact, there is more than one restaurant in the village.
Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing walked into one of the best-decorated restaurants and asked for a private seat. A screen is erected next to the table to separate it from the other tables. On the other side are the windows. Looking out of the window, a corner of the West Lake is faintly visible. Green mountains and green waters, elegant scenery.
The shopkeeper sent two cylinders of wine, opened it and sniffed it, it was actually a real aged flower carving. Xie Xiaoqing picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. Then he slowly chanted: "'The wild of Yongzhou produces strange snakes: black and white, touching the grass and trees to die; However, if you get it and use it as bait, you can have strong winds, spasms, fistulas, dead muscles, and kill three insects. The first imperial physician gathered with the king's order, and the year was endowed with two. Recruit those who can catch them, and rent them. The eternal ones are running for free. ’
Little brother, have you heard of this article?"
Cheng Li shook his head: "No." I haven't read anything. However, does this strange snake produced in Yongzhou have anything to do with you?"
Xie Xiaoqing sighed: "Eight hundred years ago, my sister and I, as well as Master, and some other brothers, lived in Yongzhou. These black and white snakes are actually not different. It's only because of us that we mutated.
But to be honest, this kind of strange snake actually has no special effect on curing diseases. Its real effect lies in purifying the bloodline. ”
Cheng Li asked, "What is purifying bloodline? Who needs to purify bloodline?"
Xie Xiaoqing said: "Master once told us that a long, long time ago, because of a mistake caused by an accident, our clan came to this world. However, this is not for us. So for generations, our family has wanted to go back to our true homeland.
But my hometown is very far away. We can't leave on our own. So, you need a magic weapon. But to harness this magic weapon, two conditions are needed. ”
Cheng Li's jaw said: "One of the conditions is that your bloodline needs to reach a certain purity?"
Xie Xiaoqing sighed: "Yes." Master said that the bloodline purity of the first group of clansmen who entered this world was actually sufficient. "But it's been too long, and the original people are gradually passing away, leaving only the second, third, and even fourth generations. With each additional generation, the purity of our bloodline decreases a little. By the time of our Master's generation, they were completely unable to control the Dharma Weapon. ”
Cheng Li sighed: "That means that you can never go back." ”
Xie Xiaoqing said: "Yes." Unless we can improve the purity of our bloodline. That's why we went to great lengths to cultivate that strange snake. According to calculations, each clansman would need to devour a total of 100,000 alien snakes before they could increase the purity of their bloodline to the point where they could control that magic weapon. ”
