Chapter 19: Sister Bi'er
The sky was bright, and several shops in the town were already open to open, and Shi Yan and the three of them stood on the hillside not far from the entrance of the town, looking back at the town. Shi Yan has been living here for the past 10 years, and he is really reluctant to leave suddenly. Taking a deep breath, Shi Yan smiled at Xiaoyu and Arus, and the three of them turned around and walked towards the depths of the woods~
Caravans are often encountered along the way, and generally speaking, the leader of the merchant is the president of the town, who carries a trade token and travels around the continent, purchasing the items they need and selling the specialties of their town. It is worth mentioning that the presidents are very enthusiastic, especially when they see the three children walking alone on the mainland, they will definitely stop the team and ask them where they are going, and if they need to take them for a ride, but they are all rejected by Shi Yanwanyan!
"Senior brother, this ring of yours is made of space stones," Arus asked.
"Yes, Uncle Zhu Xiong gave it yesterday, saying that he had prepared a lot of things for me, I took a look, the elixir, the cheats and some weapons," Shi Yan said.
"Uncle Zhu is you, who is so good to you," Arus said curiously.
"It's my father's friend, I don't know, but he's just like my father, and he's really good to me," Shi Yan said with a smile.
"Brother Xiaoyan, you are so happy," Xiaoyu said.
"Wherever and where, mine is yours, and everyone needs to use it," Shi Yan said.
"Righteous enough," Arus said, patting Shi Yan on the shoulder.
"Little ghost, this elixir cheats are all good things, but I don't mind you using those weapons," the old man said.
"Why?" Shi Yan was puzzled.
"Those weapons can enhance the attributes, for you beginners, it is easy to become attached, I advise you to wait until the foundation is solid, it is not too late to take them," the old man said.
"Okay teacher," Shi Yan nodded.
The three of them walked on the road, and met a caravan, the boss was a chubby man, giving people a very honest feeling, the boss saw the three children walking alone on the mainland, and had to take the three children on the road together, Shi Yan couldn't refuse anyway, so he had to agree to follow for a while.
The merchant claimed to be surnamed Wan, the head of the chamber of commerce in the town of Ten Thousand Snakes, who was engaged in the medicinal herb business and also carried some timber, grain and ore.
"I said that you three children are too bold, just this forest, our caravan does not dare to go on the road without the escort of a strong man, you three are good, just walk like this," said the caravan owner.
"No, it's not far where we're going," Shi Yan said.
"Are you in trouble, there are no small towns around here, and the nearest town will take three days, so let's do it, you will follow me for these three days, and wait until you get to the next town," said the caravan owner.
"Yes, that's great," said Arus, for he was tired of it.
"Then it's going to be troublesome for President Wan," Shi Yan said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's the trouble, the world is not good, it's good to go out and have a few friends in diplomacy, maybe the uncle will need you to take care of it in the future" The caravan boss smiled.
"Uncle Chang is too polite, I see that you have a lot of things to resell," Shi Yan said.
"Yes, yes, the medicinal materials are my old business of the Ten Thousand Snakes Chamber of Commerce, the stones and wood you see are all bought by me from the hands of the chairman of the strange stone town, although the stone is not the best, but it can be used in medicine, as for the wood, it is the exclusive iron wood of the strange stone town, which is suitable for making vehicles."
"Can stones still be used in medicine?" Shi Yan said curiously.
"It's not" President Wan smiled and said, "Little brother, you are young, it's not strange if you don't know, I have only been in contact with it in the past few years, who called me a lack of five elements, I can't be a cultivator, I can only make some small deals."
After saying this, Arus's body shook slightly, and when he looked back, he saw that Shi Yan and Xiaoyu were also looking at him, and he rolled his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.
"My wife is a second-level spirit and a pharmacist, half of this medicinal material is for sale, half is for her to refine medicine, the surrounding towns like to buy some pills from me, and the stones are also what my wife wants, make a pill furnace to refine medicine or something."
Shi Yan looked at the pile of stones on the ground, although the grade was almost good, but it was indeed some rare good stones, and he felt that this Wan Chang had a good eye.
~~~~~
"Brother Xiaoyan, why do I feel that this boss is a little strange?" Xiaoyu took advantage of the boss's inattention and whispered in Shi Yan's ear.
"How?"
"It's just that it feels like he's a little too good, especially for you," Xiaoyu whispered.
"Oh?"
Hearing Xiaoyu say this, he was indeed chatting with himself all the way, strange to say, it was obviously the first time he saw him, and he was really meticulous to himself. Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the caravan slowly entered the town, and Shi Yan looked at the boulder at the entrance of the town, which was engraved with "Ten Thousand Snakes Town".
"President, you're back," came to the door of a mansion, and a group of people greeted him and bowed to President Wan.
At this moment, the boss, surnamed Wan, suddenly put away his smile, changed his face to a very serious face, pointed to the car and said, "These three are my friends, wait a minute, you pick three good rooms to clean up, let them have a good rest, and send someone to move the goods off the car this time."
"Got it, President," the group replied.
I saw that the president's waist was very straight, and he entered the mansion without looking back~
"What's the situation?" Shi Yan said curiously.
"I don't understand, there are more rules in big families, you can enjoy it slowly," Arus said and jumped out of the car.
"Three, please follow me," a maid walked up to Shi Yan and the three of them, stretched out her hand and asked.
"Oh," the trio nodded.
Heaven and earth, the three of them were amazed at the same time, after entering the mansion, Shi Yan had never seen such a beautiful big house, which was bigger than any house in Qishi Town, all magnificent, strange flowers and plants in the courtyard, rockeries and flowing water, and freshwater lakes~
"What is this for?" Arus asked, looking around.
"Three please~" the maid continued.
Under the leadership of the maid, the three of them bypassed the corridor and entered the guest room, even the guest room was much more magnificent than the accommodation room in Qishi Town, and the three of them were looking at themselves, dirty, and very restrained after entering the house. Fortunately, the maids were very professional, and quickly measured the size of the three of them, prepared hot water and large wooden barrels.
After bathing and changing clothes, the three of them came out of the big house, no one knew anyone, Shi Yan didn't know that he could be so clean, looking at Xiaoyu, it was even more cute, as for Arus, how could he still look like a gangster, he was clearly a son.
"Look, haven't you seen a handsome guy," Arus said disdainfully.
"Hehehe," Shi Yan and Xiaoyu smiled, "I've never seen you so weak."
~~~~~~
In a magnificent room, a woman is serving the fat President Wan to change clothes.
"I heard that the master brought three children back?" The woman laughed.
The woman is middle-aged, but she is extremely well maintained, with an elegant figure and a dignified posture, which is the wife of President Wan.
"Hmm" President Wan nodded and said, "Wait a minute, you can help me take a look at these three children, especially that little boy, I have been in business for so many years, and I have met them all once"
"What do you mean, sir?" Mrs. Wan asked.
"I can't say, and it's not easy to say, but I always feel that they are very different, just take that little boy, it's obviously a fighter, it's the first time I've seen such a small fighter," President Wan said, showing an appreciative expression.
"Hehehe" Mrs. Wan smiled, "You, you, you have a very thief in your eyes, you mean that the three children are all right?"
"No, there are two, the older one should be a sidekick," said President Wan.
"Okay, I'll take a look later," said Mrs. Wan.
After returning, President Wan did not summon them directly, but delivered the food to the room of the three, and the servants said that President Wan had something to deal with and would not come to disturb them tonight, and ordered everyone not to disturb the rest of the three at will.
"Brother Xiaoyan, don't you feel weird now" Xiaoyu looked at Shi Yan and asked.
"Hehe" The space around him fluctuated slightly, and the old man of the ancient beast appeared beside Shi Yan and said, "Although this boss has no cultivation at all, his eyesight is very good, he seems to have seen Shi Yan's 4-stage fighting spirit at a glance, presumably he wants to get married as soon as possible."
"Teacher, is it necessary for him to be so rich? We're just kids," Shi Yan asked.
"Yes, the strong people on the continent, there are not a few in hundreds of years, many people can't come to the stammer, what you see is just a drop in the bucket for that boss, if you are now a level 1 fighter, then your treatment will be better, businessman, will not do loss-making transactions" The old man said with a smile.
"I see," Shi Yan nodded.
"What's more, since President Wan is so polite, you might as well stay for a few more days, this place is also quiet," the old man of the ancient beast said with a smile.
"Teacher, aren't we on our way?" Xiaoyu said curiously.
"Have you forgotten the purpose of our journey?" The Old Man of the Ancient Beast smiled and disappeared in place.
"Purpose?" Shi Yan and Xiaoyu frowned.
"Become a strong person and increase your experience! Forgot about it so quickly," Arus said.
Arus's experience in the rivers and lakes was the richest of the three children, and he knew that the old man of the ancient beast would not leave the three of them here for no reason, and he thought to himself, maybe something would happen.
~~~~~
At night, the three children practiced in their own rooms, and the house was large and comfortable, and the environment was a hundred times better than in the wilderness. Shi Yan slowly pushed the fighting qi to slowly run in the meridians, and there was no light in the room at this time, but when Shi Yan pushed it, there was obviously a trace of thin qi on his face that was shining slightly.
Not far from the three-person house, a woman held a fist-sized stone in her hand, and approached the house little by little. The closer he got, the more his brows wrinkled, and finally stopped between the two rooms, only to see the stone glowing with a slight white light, and in the white light there were a few other colors looming, although it was very light, but it did not escape the woman's beautiful eyes.
"Teacher?" Shi Yan shouted in a low voice.
Shi Yan is already a fourth-order fighter, his senses are already higher than ordinary people, there is something outside the house, as long as Shi Yan wants to feel it, he will definitely be able to feel it.
"Teacher?" Shi Yan continued to shout, but the old man of the ancient beast never appeared.
The woman outside the house nodded with satisfaction, and gently left the outside of the three's house, and after a long time, the space in Shi Yan's house fluctuated slightly, and an old man appeared in front of Shi Yan.
"Teacher, where did you just go?" Shi Yan said curiously.
"I'm hiding from the stone in the woman's hand," the old man of the ancient beast said with a smile, "Just now that woman brought a multicolored divine stone to measure your fighting qi and true qi at the door."
"Colorful Divine Stone?" Shi Yan was puzzled.
"Yes, it is a very special stone, it can sense fighting qi and spiritual power, as long as it is a cultivator, it will glow, and people can judge what attribute you have according to the color of the stone's glow, and you have the strength of several levels and stages."
"Huh? So powerful? Shi Yan was surprised.
"Hehe, where is this, all the famous schools, colleges and universities have a stone like this, that is much bigger than this, it is a mysterious existence in the Strange Stone Continent, and the teacher is afraid that the stone will measure my soul body, so it is temporarily hidden."
"Colorful Divine Stone?" Shi Yan said silently.
"Yes, this kind of stone is very precious, it is not easy to come by, I can't imagine that since there is a piece in this town, it seems that this Wanjia is indeed a little interesting" The old man of the ancient beast smiled.
"I want to have a piece too," Shi Yan said with a smile.
"Yes, when the Emperor of Heaven cast the Heavenly Sword, he relied on the help of a superb multicolored stone, which is stronger and more accurate than our perception, and can determine the specific attributes and power of the ore and spirit stone, and you will also need a superb multicolored stone in the future to cast a weapon of your own."
"It's a long-term look," Shi Yan sighed.
"It won't be too far" The old man of the ancient beast said and slowly disappeared in front of Shi Yan, and before disappearing, the old man admonished, "Boy, pay attention tonight, something may happen" But without waiting for Shi Yan to ask, the old man of the ancient beast returned to the necklace.
~~~~~
In the town of Ten Thousand Snakes at night, the doors of every house were closed, and there was not even a single patrolman, a breeze blew, and a slender figure flickered by. Shi Yan meditated in the house, since the old man of the ancient beast had told him, then something might really happen at night.
"Who?" came Arus's roar from outside the house.
"Oops, is something wrong?" Shi Yan walked out of the gate quickly.
"What's going on?" Shi Yan looked at Arus and asked.
"A big shadow just passed over the wall, so fast," Arus said, pointing to the top of the wall.
Looking at Arus's appearance, his legs still trembling, Shi Yan concluded that he was not lying, and jumped out of the courtyard wall in a few steps. After landing on the ground, he found that there were indeed drag marks on the ground, Shi Yan slowly condensed his fighting spirit on the soles of his feet, and chased the traces all the way. Chased out of the town, the trail has gone into the woods.
"Boy, be careful," the voice of the old man of the ancient beast came from inside.
"Got it, teacher," Shi Yan said.
In the depths of the woods, Shi Yan ran quickly, and sure enough, he saw a strange figure on the hillside not far away, because it was too dark to see the other party's appearance clearly. The other party walked all the way to the depths of the woods, and Shi Yan chased after him, since he was gone, there was no trace of the other party.
"Teacher?" Shi Yan called softly
After screaming a few times, the old man of the ancient beast was silent again, and Shi Yan knew that the old man might be hiding, so he stopped calling and walked gently towards the depths of the woods. It turned out that in the middle of the woods, there was a large lake. Shi Yan watched as the traces on the ground stretched all the way to the water.
"Could it be that this thing went into the water," Shi Yan said.
Under the moonlight, the surface of the lake was sparkling, and Shi Yan always felt that there seemed to be something in the lake, although it was covered by water, but the slightest trace of weird aura was always there.
"Grunt" The surface of the lake suddenly bubbled up.
"Sure enough, there are people," Shi Yan said, looking at the lake.
Under Shi Yan's gaze, a human head slowly came out of the water, and Shi Yan was in a cold sweat when he saw it, and his scalp suddenly became numb, and a cool breath rushed from the tail vertebrae to the top of his head. Looking at the lake again, the other party only showed half of his head on the surface of the lake, and a pair of very sharp eyes were staring at him.
"What kind of monster are you?" Shi Yan shouted.
In fact, he was ruthless in his heart, and the fighting spirit in his body had begun to be chaotic because of fear, and Shi Yan tried several times before he barely calmed down. The other party slowly came out of the water and slowly revealed a head.
"Don't be afraid" Shi Yan's heart came from the old man's voice, probably seeing that Shi Yan couldn't stop yelling, he came out to cheer him up.
"Teacher, I don't want to be scared, but I can't control myself," Shi Yan said.
Because of ignorance, he was afraid, and in the face of the strange phenomenon that he didn't know at all, Shi Yan even felt that his legs were trembling slightly.
"Kid, it's amazing to be able to come here with me, tell me, who are you?" The human head exposed on the surface of the lake asked softly.
"Huh?" Shi Yan was startled, and secretly screamed in his heart, since this is a woman's voice, then the head of the man in the lake should be a woman.
"This sister, what are you doing in the middle of the night in Ten Thousand Snakes Town? Also, Why are you hiding in the lake? Shi Yan knew that it was a woman, but he relaxed his vigilance in his heart.
"Sister?" The woman muttered softly, looking at the beautiful little boy by the lake, he was obviously a child, but she clearly felt a fighting spirit from this child.
"Is it possible, you are taking a bath" Shi Yan thought of this and immediately turned around.
"Huh?" The woman slowly rose from the water, looked at the human child with her back to her, smiled slightly, and spit out a slender tongue of a snake from time to time.
"Stupid, how can there be a demon beast with his back to it" Shi Yan's heart came from the anxious voice of the old man of the ancient beast.
"Demon beasts?" Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around again, he saw that the 'sister' in front of him had already stood up from the water. It is true that above the waist is the appearance of a human woman, but below the waist there is a long snake tail.
I have to say that this half-human, half-snake demon snake woman has excellent appearance, but her eyes are diamond-shaped pupils, her hair is scattered, her upper body is white and tender, her chest is bulging, and she is covered by a layer of snakeskin.
"You call me sister?" The demon snake woman looked at Shi Yan's surprised gaze and smiled, revealing two small snake teeth.
"Huh?" Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, and his hands and feet instantly condensed with fighting energy.
"What an interesting little friend, it seems that you are not a child of Ten Thousand Snake Town, and it is impossible for those wrecks to raise a little brother like you," the demon snake woman laughed.
Shi Yan watched the demon snake woman wagging her tail, slowly approaching her, her body writhing, very charming, fortunately, Shi Yan was only 10 years old, and he didn't know anything about men and women, otherwise he would definitely not be able to control the chaos at this moment.
"What's the matter, little brother, are you afraid of your sister?" The demon snake woman asked.
After coming to the shore, Shi Yan saw that she straightened up and was 3 meters tall, looking at the Shiyan Demon Snake woman who was more than 1 meter old and always smiling, Shi Yan subconsciously took a few steps back and vacated an open space.
"What are you doing in town?" Shi Yan asked.
"Hehehe, what a cute child, why did you ask me to go? Sister think about it, oops, I forgot" The demon snake woman looked at Shi Yan and smiled charmingly.
What to do? Shi Yan beat a drum in his heart, it stands to reason that if the demon beast attacks him, then he will definitely fight back, but at this moment, this half-human, half-demon demon snake did not take the initiative to total, but seemed to be teasing himself.
"Little brother, aren't you scared when you came here alone?" The demon snake woman laughed.
Just when the demon snake woman wanted to tease Shi Yan, the other end of the forest suddenly emitted a firelight, and I vaguely heard someone shouting over there, the sound was getting louder and closer~
"What a disappointment," the snake woman said, shaking her head.
"Why did you go to a human town," Shi Yan asked, looking at the demon snake woman.
"Then I have to ask them what good things those people have done, little ghost, send me a message to them, hand over the stolen things within three days, otherwise they will be restless" The demon snake woman's pupils shrank, and Shi Yan smiled slightly when she looked at Shi Yan in front of her, "My name is Bi'er, you can call me Sister Bi'er in the future."
"Sister Bi'er?" Shi Yan whispered.
"Good ~ sister will play with you next time" Bi'er said, turned into the pond, and slowly sank to the bottom of the pond.
After watching the demon snake named Bi'er go deep into the bottom of the pool, the fire behind him was flourishing, and a group of people rushed here with torches~
"Quick, everyone, look for it, it should be right ahead," shouted a man in the woods.
"Boss, look ahead, isn't that the kid?" another man shouted.
"Huh?" When the chubby President Wan saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Little brother, you're okay."
"Me? It's okay! Shi Yan walked towards everyone, and when he got closer, he found that since President Wan was surrounded by cultivators, they were all wearing a badge on their chests, and the badges were of the same shape, but the colors were different.
"It's okay, little brother, I'm sorry, it's not safe here, let's go back with me first" President Wan said and led everyone to start looking back, before leaving, Shi Yan looked at the lake, and then followed everyone back to the town.
