Chapter 18: Looking at the South of the River, the Story of the Snake and the Human Heart (Part II)

It was the same night, the same Lingyang City, except that it was at least twenty times the size of the Sun family—a mansion large enough to be called a garden. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, it was so large that it was inhabited by very few people, and even the guards were only two soldiers at the door. Because, if there is a dangerous person who can threaten the life of the old man here, it will be in vain to send more soldiers. In addition, there are currently two owners in this mansion, one of them likes to retreat and cultivate, and the other has set up a courtyard outside where he can spend all his days drinking. Naturally, there are fewer people needed in the house.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and it will inevitably appear deserted. There are many houses built in a deserted place, and it is quiet and deep.

This supposedly lively mansion has been giving a sense of depth since its owner moved in five years ago. Perhaps this is the reason why its young owner would prefer to live elsewhere. Even the bright moon tonight doesn't seem to want the moonlight to fall into this mansion, making this garden look particularly dark and gloomy.

In the deep and dark backyard of the mansion, Xu Wang walked to a seven-foot-high rockery with a man wrapped in black, his eyes glowing with purple light. Three inconspicuous finger marks were soon found. He stretched out his three fingers, the ecliptic, the middle and the ringless, which exuded purple spiritual power, and pressed them on them, and the rockery shook, and then moved backwards, slowly revealing the entrance hidden underneath.

Xu Wang looked at the swarthy entrance, and the taste in his heart was complicated and indescribable. He didn't want to come here if he could.

"Let's go." In the end, he still walked down with the man in black.

Walking down the winding stairs, the two men descended about ninety steps before they came across a straight corridor with four cells on each side of the corridor.

The cells are not dirty, and they are deliberately clean. Just like the place where the food is stored is always the cleanest place for ordinary people. There are no torture instruments or bones or anything terrible here.

There are so many cells, but there is only one child here. He was huddled in the inner corner, and he didn't react when he heard someone coming. Because the experience of these two days has made him understand that yelling will only make him die faster.

Xu Wang glanced at the child, thinking that it was a pity that he couldn't catch the two little beggars the day before yesterday, and the essence and blood of a child could not meet that person's requirements at this stage...... If this kid is lucky, he can live for two more days......

He and the man in black walked straight to the end, stopped in front of a stone gate, and said respectfully, "Father, it's the child and Uncle Xu Ying. ”

The stone door opened, and purple mist poured out of it. Xu Wang smelled the fishy smell, frowned slightly, released spiritual power to cover his whole body, and entered the stone room with the black-clothed man named Xu Ying. The stone door was closed again.

Indoors, in the thick purple mist, a figure can be vaguely seen on the high platform in the middle.

Who would have thought that Xu Cuo, the dignified lord of Lingyang City, had practiced such an evil practice in retreat all year round!

"Have you got enough nourishment?"

Xu Wang bowed and saluted: "There are still two children left." ”

As the words fell, the temperature of the entire cave suddenly plummeted. There was deathly silence in the cave...... Xu Ying was fine, but Xu Wang began to break out in a cold sweat.

"Do you know that your father's breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm is imminent?"

Xu Ying hurriedly spoke: "Master, the evil sect of the Heavenly Demon Sect has been a little active in Jingzhou recently, and it has attracted the attention of the Dao Alliance. The young master had to stop for the sake of prudence. ”

"Those people in the Dao Alliance are not easy to mess with, the beasts of the Heavenly Demon Sect really don't know whether to live or die!"

"Yes, you're right, father." Xu Wang spoke: "Actually, the child has always taken his father's cultivation to heart. The day before yesterday, I met two very spiritual little beggars on Chunxiao Street, so I wanted to arrest them and make them for you to make three main medicines, but I never thought about them but they were disturbed. The child almost lost his life because of it. ”

Xu Ying echoed: "Report to the master, the young master's sentence is true." ”

The city lord was furious: "Who dares to be so rampant in my Lingyang City!" ”

Xu Wang said cautiously: "Qian Zhong and Ji Xuetian of Linglong Gate. ”

As soon as these words came out, the city lord stopped being angry for some reason. There was a sudden silence in the stone room.

After about the tea time passed, Xu Ying spoke: "Master, do you need the old slave to arrest the surnamed Ji?" ”

The city lord said, "Don't get into too much trouble for the time being. Just go to the children's business and pick up with the traffickers in the neighboring state. ”

Xu Wang was disappointed again! The back of the majestic shore that needed to be looked up to before collapsed...... It turns out that he is just a timid and cowardly snake and rat, no wonder he will be like today.

"Yes. The boy went back first. ”

In the thick fog, Xu Cuo, who was wearing a robe, glanced back at the back of the child leaving, revealing his face under the robe and the purple scales under his cheeks......

Back on the ground, the loyal Xu Ying could clearly feel that the young master's mood was a little low. He comforted: "Young master, don't blame the master for being too cautious. After all, under the rectification of that woman, the high-ranking officials of Jiangnan Province who were related to that incident twelve years ago were all dead and wasted. Many forces have also been uprooted, and even the seven secular forces in Kyushu have to listen to Linglongmen when they arrive in Chu State...... What's more, your father was beaten to the Dao Spirit Realm ten years ago, and now he has returned to the peak in just ten years, it is really not easy, you should be proud of him. ”

Xu Wang can be said to have completely ignored Xu Ying's words. He said seriously: "Uncle Shadow, I haven't asked you to do anything for me since I was a child, now, can you do me and my father a favor?" ”

Xu Ying chuckled in her heart: "What's the busy?" ”

"Find a chance and kill Ji Xuetian!"

……………………………………

Sun's house, in the patio.

Ji Xuetian didn't know that in another place, someone was plotting to find an opportunity to kill him. But even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

On the Kyushu continent, some people want to kill him in order to end the wolf oath the next day, some people want to kill him because they are afraid that he will grow up in the future and come to the door to take revenge, and some people want to kill him for other messy interest entanglements......

In short, he grew up in assassination, and he didn't care about one or two more than he felt annoyed. It can be said that he has reached the realm where there are more lice and he is not afraid of bites.

So at this moment, he is comfortably telling stories in the courtyard of Sun's house-

"A long time ago, there was a woodcutter in Baling Mountain on the shore of Dongting Lake, his wife died early, and his seven or eight-year-old son was naughty.

One day, the woodcutter came to the mountain with the child as usual. He is still in charge of chopping wood, and the child still plays alone. Chopping and chopping, the woodcutter suddenly heard an exclamation from the child. He hurried in the direction from which the voice came. Then, when the woodcutter saw what was next, he exclaimed. ”

Although such an opening is common, children who like to listen to stories will not mind. Sun Xiaoshi listened very carefully and asked curiously, "What did he see?" ”

He saw the child standing beside the spring, holding in his hand a strange snake of blue and purple colors, which seemed to be seriously injured and dying.

The child smiled and said, 'Daddy, this snake is so beautiful, I want to catch it and keep it at home.' ’

The woodcutter didn't know what kind of snake it was, but he knew it was poisonous. He rushed over to snatch the snake and throw it away. Who knew that the child saw through it, and he guarded the snake tightly, just to prevent the woodcutter from touching it.

The woodcutter said anxiously, 'Son! This snake is venomous at first glance? You bring it home and it doesn't bite you to death! ’

But the child said, 'No, if I save it, it won't hurt me.' Pharmacist Xu on the stage also saved a snake, and in the end, the snake gave it a doll in order to repay it!

The woodcutter couldn't figure out whether his child was smart or stupid, and he said angrily, 'If you want a snake, Daddy won't want you!' The child said directly, 'Daddy, you don't want me, who will give you a pension in the future?' ’

In the end, the woodcutter was not strong enough for the child, and allowed the child to bring the snake back to life. However, he thought a little carefully, and lied to the child that Wangjiangnan was the elixir to save the snake, and when he returned home, he asked the child to use Wangjiangnan to save it. The woodcutter thought to himself, anyway, this kid didn't know that Wangjiangnan was the poison of the snake, and if the snake died, he would lie to him and say that the injury was too serious to save him.

But what he never expected was that the strange snake was not only not afraid of Wangjiangnan, but also ate with relish, and the snake was really good soon after!

Fortunately, the snake was quite spiritual, and he could distinguish between good and bad, and after that, he played with the boy. After the boy had a playmate, at most he just followed the strange snake to the mountains to pick wild fruits and elixirs to eat, find spring water to drink, and go home on time every day, which saved the woodcutter a lot of trouble.

In this way, the days passed, and the child and the snake grew up day by day. Ten years later, the child who had eaten the elixir of wild fruits had grown into a sturdy young man of eighteen years old, and the strange snake had become more spiritual, and his eyes were often shining like jewels.

The young man was so powerful that he no longer wanted to be a woodcutter like his father, so he went to the city and became the lord's guard, and was soon appreciated by the lord of the city and promoted to the head of the guard. After becoming a small and powerful figure in the city, he often haunted restaurants and Qinglou, so he didn't play with strange snakes much, and he didn't want to return to the mountain village, so he took his father to live in the city. Since then, he has not returned to the mountain village, and he has no contact with the strange snake. In this way, time flies, and another decade passes. ”

Sister Xiaoshi also nodded: "It's really fast, it's only been a while, and a total of twenty years have passed." ”
