"The price?" The old man smiled miserably, "The price is too much. ”

These snake people who are snakes on the inside and people on the outside cannot leave Lingnan for the rest of their lives.

As long as they take one step towards Lingnan, they will die immediately.

Although they are all the result of death, they will suffer all kinds of torture.

"You've seen it with your own eyes?" Mi Li'er asked curiously.

"Of course, I've seen it. Because I wanted to leave this place, but I was too late to see my companion turn to blood. The old man closed his eyes and did not want to remember.

Mi Li'er said curiously: "Lingnan is so big, why do you want to leave?" It's nice to live here. ”

"Although Lingnan is big, the land here cannot grow food, and the fruits on the mountain are highly poisonous. Birds are hard to catch, animals are getting fewer and fewer, and it's too hard for us to live. "And that's not all the price. After we become snake people, we can neither give birth to human beings nor reproduce snakes, but can only live like this. ”

Mi Li'er couldn't help but sympathize with them when she heard this.

Doesn't it mean that there is no food, no offspring, and no one can leave here?

"Then why did you turn into snake people?" Mi Li'er asked puzzled. Since becoming a human is not happy at all, let's continue to be a snake.

"But being a snake is just as damned." The old man pointed to a snake on the ground and said, "Look at his eyes, they are like a man." They can't do without Lingnan, and the only way out seems to be to become human. ”

And when you see that everyone else has become a human being, even if you know that you will suffer after becoming a human, you have to try it.

"No matter whether you cultivate or not, you will become a human, so even a snake demon like Sien for thousands of years has not been able to cultivate into a human form by herself, and can only change her body one after another." The old man said, "Even if there is a half of him who can cultivate into a human form, everyone will not allow him to be different from others. ”

Looking at the old man's sad appearance, Mi Li'er guessed at once that the snake demon in his mouth that was rare to cultivate in human form was the old man himself, right? 》

"Actually, if you don't come, Rainbow will have to give up her people. She had been remorseful for a long time. The old man sighed and said, "When she found the ancient technique, she didn't know that she had to pay so much price for using this ancient technique in exchange for her human body. ”

There are fewer and fewer human beings in Lingnan, but these people are getting worse and worse.

They can't find a replacement for human bodies, so they kill each other.

If it's just to live and grab the body of others, it can be said, sometimes the same kind of people grab the body just because they are good-looking, or a little stronger.

The entire Lingnan is almost all snake people, as the same kind, they should have supported each other, but they killed each other.

Rainbow looked at everything she had given up in exchange for becoming an immortal, and she had already repented.

"Coupled with Mu Fanen's matter, for so many years, she has never been able to let go, and your coming this time is just the last straw that broke the camel's back." The old man sighed again and again.

Thinking of the first person I saw when I first came to Lingnan, Mi Li'er also sighed.

Such a lively and lovely bell is actually a 10,000-year-old demon who is full of thoughts and has been sad and desperate.

At that time, her name was Uncle Mu Fanchen, and when she wanted Mu Fanchen to take her away, how much was it true?

Maybe she really wants to become an ordinary human being, return to the capital with Mu Fanchen, and return to Mu Fanen's side, right?

The old man trembled and knelt on the ground, raised his head and pleaded: "We snake people, although our sins are unforgivable, we will not be wiped out. Let's fend for ourselves! ”

Mi Li'er looked at Mu Fanchen, waiting for him to make a decision.

Mu Fanchen pondered for a long time and said, "Let's go back to the capital." ”

Mi Li'er naturally has no opinion. Because she knows that sometimes being alive is more torturous than dying.

"Send us off, I have some questions for you." Mi Li'er said to the old man.

The old man immediately responded.

On the way out of Lingnan, Mi Li'er asked the old man: "Do you know how Rainbow and the eldest prince met?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Of course I know." ”

When Mu Fanen traveled to Lingnan, Lingnan was almost occupied by snake people.

But there are still many snakes that have not found their bodies.

So the snake man dug a trap in the forest and hunted down the outsiders who came here.

Mu Fanen and his two bodyguards fell into the trap.

The rainbow happened to be in the village at the bottom of the mountain that day.

She saw Mu Fanen who had fainted at a glance.

The sword eyebrows are starry-eyed, but they are polite and polite.

In the past 10,000 years, although Rainbow has seen many beautiful men in the world, she fell in love with Mu Fanen at first sight, even if Mu Fanen didn't even open her eyes.

So she lied to her snake breeder and took care of the injured Mu Fanen.

Mu Fanen usually comes into contact with dignified and old-fashioned nobles in the capital, and she also likes lively and lovely rainbows very much.

The two naturally fell in love with each other.

However, Mu Fanen, as the eldest son of the Mu family, wants to participate in the imperial examination, become an official, glorify the court, and pass on the ancestry, so he naturally has to leave Lingnan.

But Rainbow was cursed and couldn't get out of there.

She wanted to keep Mu Fanen very much, but Mu Fanen wanted to take Rainbow away.

At this time, the woman in white appeared.

"I remember that woman was born very weird." The old man recalled, "There is both the softness of a woman and the strength of a man, and her temperament is very moving, so moving that people can't notice her appearance." ”

Listening to his description, Mi Li'er always felt that she had seen this woman somewhere.

"Childe, do you remember the painting hanging in the nameless bamboo building?" Mi Li'er had a flash of inspiration, and when she thought of it, she asked Mu Fanchen loudly, "Isn't that woman like this!" ”

Mu Fanchen thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember: "I'm not interested in women's appearances." ”

"Ah, not interested?" Mi Li'er was disappointed. It's all up to her, and she can't remember.

Mu Fanchen would be wrong, he hurriedly comforted Mi Li'er and said, "Of course, I remember you the most." ”

"......" was inexplicably fed a piece of sugar, and Mi Li'er was quite satisfied.

"And then?" Mi Li'er asked.

The old man thought for a while and said, "Later, I don't know why, Mu Fanen fell in love with the woman in white, and became more and more estranged from the rainbow. Until one day, Mu Fanen left with the woman in white. ”

"Is it that Mu Fanen has discovered the secret of your snake people, so he can't bear it?" Mi Li'er asked.

The old man's face was not good-looking, he bowed his head for a long time, and said, "I have long advised Rainbow, this method is not feasible, but Rainbow does not listen to me." It wasn't until she paid the price and scared Mu Fanen away that she began to repent. ”
