Chapter 19: Looking at the South of the River, the Story of the Snake and the Human Heart (II)

Ji Xuetian ignored the girl's complaints, and continued to speak: "Twenty years have passed, and the old woodcutter who is old has a serious illness, and the woodcutter's son has found the best famous doctor in the city, but he can't cure him. It was only at this time that he remembered the snake he played with when he was a child, and he seemed to know a lot www.biquge.info of elixirs, and he decided to go back to the mountains to find the strange snake.

When the woodcutter's son arrived at Baling Mountain, he quickly found the spring water that he had seen when he encountered the strange snake, but unfortunately he did not see the strange snake. So, he had no choice but to shout: 'Ah Qing, I am an elephant!' I'm coming for you! Come out and meet me! ’

The woodcutter's son's voice is indeed loud enough that the whole mountain forest can hear the sound. He shouted for a long time until he was hoarse and did not see the strange snake come out, and he could not help feeling disappointed, and sat down beside the spring in a dejected manner.

And at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the forest, and the woodcutter's son felt that the ground was shaking, as if some behemoth was coming towards him, and a moment later a snake's head, as large as the mouth of the well, stretched out of the dense forest, and startled the woodcutter's son. ”

When it came to "a snake head as big as the mouth of the well", Ji Xuetian also deliberately made a gesture on the well, which startled the girl who listened to the story carefully, for fear that a snake would really emerge from the mouth of the well.

"The serpent didn't mean to hurt him, it said, 'Don't be afraid, it's me.'"

The woodcutter's son realized that the big snake was Ah Qing. He was surprised and asked, 'I've only been seeing you for ten years, how did you get so big?' ’

The big snake replied, "I was originally a snake cultivator who has been practicing for 500 years, and I became like that twenty years ago because of the failure of the evolution of the demon pill, and I was able to live until now thanks to you for saving me." Now, my demon pill has been restored, and it is naturally in this form. ’

The woodcutter's son knelt down and said, 'I know that you know many elixirs, and now my father is seriously ill, save him.' ’

After hearing this, the serpent turned into a small snake and asked the woodcutter's son to take it to his father's medical treatment. After reading this, the snake asked the woodcutter's son to bring a jade knife to the spring in the mountain to find it the next day.

The next day the woodcutter's son came as the serpent had said. As soon as the serpent saw him coming, he suddenly brought the head of the serpent to him and opened its bloody mouth, and frightened the woodcutter's son to the ground. The snake said, 'Don't be afraid, if you go into my belly and see the glowing elixir, cut off a small piece with a jade knife and give it to your father, and you will cure him.' ’

The woodcutter's son thought to himself that if the serpent wanted to eat him, he would not have to use this trick at all. He boldly got in, climbed some distance, and saw a fist-sized demon pill. After cutting off a small piece, he retreated, thanked the serpent, and ran back to the city. The woodcutter really got better after taking the demon pill.

As a result, the story of the woodcutter's son who took the snake pill to save his father soon spread quickly. When the lord of the city heard of this, he wanted to take him as his son-in-law, and said to him, 'You also know that my daughter is beautiful and has not yet married because she is afraid that she cannot have children, and if you can heal her, I will marry her to you.' ’

When the woodcutter's son heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately ran to the mountain to find the snake, and lied: "I know my beloved wife well, but she has a lower body disease and cannot give birth, and she has been haunted by the fact that she cannot continue the incense for the family, which leads to a heart disease." Last time, the demon pill you gave successfully saved my father, please look at the old days, give me another demon pill to save my wife. ’

Although the snake clan is greedy by nature, they attach the most importance to the retribution of gratitude. After hearing this, the serpent agreed to his request.

Then, the woodcutter's son took the demon pill to cure the illness of the city lord's daughter, and the news of becoming the son-in-law of the city lord spread quickly. Coupled with the story of his saving his father, it spread more and more, and finally reached the ears of the prime minister.

Although this prime minister is a high and powerful person, he suffers from a hidden illness and has no children. Even though there are beautiful wives and beautiful relatives in his house, they are also unblessed. Upon hearing this, he immediately approached the woodcutter's son and promised to make him the new lord of the castle if he could be cured.

The woodcutter's son was overjoyed when he received the prime minister's promise, and went up the mountain again to find Xiu Snake, and he lied and said: "I didn't expect my father-in-law, the city lord, to be the master of the court, in order to become a state teacher, actually suggested the development of Baling Mountain to make a Taoist temple for him." When I heard this, I was furious, but I couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, the Prime Minister promised me that if I could cure his hidden illness, I would be the new lord of the city. If I become the lord of the city, I will definitely order the mountain to be closed so that no one will disturb your cultivation, please help me this time, help me is also help yourself. ’

The serpent began to look at the woodcutter's son suspiciously, and in silence he thought of the life-saving grace of the year, and finally agreed to help him.

So, the woodcutter's son cured the prime minister's illness and successfully became the lord of the city. Although this incident did not spread, the prime minister's mental malaise1 when he went to court was still seen by the monarch. The prime minister didn't dare to hide anything from the saint, and he told it all. The monarch mentioned this matter to the national teacher, and the national teacher said that if the monarch could eat the entire demon pill, he would be able to prolong his life for at least 500 years. When the king heard of the great joy, he immediately summoned the woodcutter's son and promised that if you could obtain the demon pill, he would promote you to prime minister.

The woodcutter's son agreed. I didn't show much excitement though. He knew it wasn't that easy. Taking out the entire demon pill is equivalent to abolishing its five hundred years of penance. If I bring it up in front of it, maybe it will really swallow itself, but I still have to think of a proper way.

Until this moment, the woodcutter's son no longer took his relationship with Xiu Snake to heart, and completely ignored the safety of Xiu Xiu.

And just like that, months passed, and the woodcutter's child was born. Just after his child was full moon, he suddenly thought of a plan. He took advantage of the family's inattention to throw the child to the ground, and seriously injured the child on the spot, and the child fainted before he could cry......"

"Yikes!" Xiao Shi couldn't help but exclaim when she heard this.

Ji Xuetian's face was as usual, and he continued: "The woodcutter's son ran to the mountain with the child in his arms, knelt in front of Xiu Snake with tears in his eyes, begged Xiu Snake to be merciful and give him another piece of demon pill to save the poor child, and vowed that as long as he saved his own child, he would never come here to disturb it again."

Of course, Xiu Snake didn't know how greedy and vicious that kind and innocent child had become twenty years ago! Countless times more greedy and vicious than the snake clan!

The poor snake cultivator was even very moved when he saw that the woodcutter's son was so emotional, and opened his mouth without hesitation.

So the woodcutter's son got his wish and went into the belly of the serpent. But this time he wasn't going to cut a small piece, but a whole piece! He held the demon pill tightly in one hand and the jade knife in the other, and spared no effort to slash at the meridians that the demon pill connected to the snake body!

The snake let out a terrible cry, rolled violently, and angrily asked the woodcutter's son what he wanted to do.

The woodcutter's son didn't care so much, and he slashed again.

The snake let out a mournful roar again, it really couldn't understand how he could have become like this! Xiu Snake shed tears of confusion, anger and sadness.

The woodcutter's son couldn't see its tears, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. His third knife cut the meridians of the snake cultivator, and he finally got the entire demon pill. However, before he could rejoice, he noticed that the snake's belly was getting narrower and narrower.

He also expected this situation. He knew that he couldn't break the snake's belly with a jade knife, so he took out the stainless steel dagger hidden on his body and stabbed it fiercely on the snake's flesh.

With a sonorous sound, the steel dagger actually rolled its blade! This is definitely something that the woodcutter's son never expected. Then, he began to panic, and he shouted in horror, 'Ah Qing! I know wrong! I'll give you back the demon pill! Let me out! ’

However, Xiu Snake had already passed out.

In this way, the snake slowly became as big as it was twenty years ago. And the woodcutter's son, after being crushed to pieces of his bones, became the same size as he had been twenty years ago.

The difference is that twenty years ago, he was holding a badly injured snake, and twenty years later, the snake's belly wrapped around him who died. ”

Sun Xiaoshi said sadly: "How can this be, it's so pitiful to cultivate a snake...... That woodcutter's son is so hateful! It's more than innocent! And the child who has just completed the moon is so pitiful! ”

Ji Xuetian is very satisfied that the story she told made the child emotional, although the child was a little concerned about the wrong point. He said: "This is the story of the lack of human hearts and the swallowing of elephants. As for being a human being, if you have great ability, you will have as many resources as you have, and if you are too greedy, you will only get evil results. ”

The little girl asked suspiciously, "Why aren't there elephants in the story?" ”

"You didn't listen carefully! The woodcutter's son's name is the elephant! The snake swallowed an elephant and swallowed a man called an elephant, not an elephant. That's why people's hearts are insufficient, and snakes swallow elephants. ”

"Oh, I see." Xiaoshi suddenly realized, and after a while, she said angrily: "Brother, you deliberately misled me!" ”

The boy looked innocent: "The source is this story, I just polished it a little." ”

"And what does this story have to do with my father?"

"Well, maybe it would be clearer to let it tell you."

Xiaoshi looked dazed: "Who is it?" ”

Ji Xuetian smiled, and he shouted at the well: "Aren't you the most important to know the Entu report?" Sun Yi died for you, and you haven't come out to explain the situation clearly! Don't come out again! I destroyed a few pots of Wangjiangnan! So that you have nowhere to hide! ”

The little girl was even more confused.

"Boom!" Something seems to be coming out!

Xiaoshi's confusion turned into horror: "Water...... Water wellhead...... Equally large snake heads...... It's true...... Don't! ”

The little girl is generally not very tolerant, and she prefers to believe that it is a nightmare.

She fainted.

In fact, this snake is not the snake in the story.

The young man looked helpless: "It's a waste of words, isn't telling such a long story just to make you mentally prepared and not afraid of snakes?" Didn't you just pity the snake? ”

"Human!" The snake's eyes showed a fierce light, "You're not afraid that I will swallow you in one bite?" ”

"I'm afraid." When the young man's voice fell, the money shopkeeper appeared beside him, "The elders are always there to protect you." If you want to make a big splash and let the City Lord's Mansion know you're here, you can give it a try. ”

The snake wondered why the boy knew about his concerns and asked, "How do you know so much?" ”

The boy's next words almost made it really swallow the human-

"Guess. But when you say that, I know I'm all right. So if you want to continue to be the serpent at the bottom of the well, just say what I don't know and you know. ”
