Chapter Twenty-Three: Conquering the Spirit Snake

The big snake rushed over in the water like an arrow, and before the group of strange fish could react, they rushed out of the huge waves brought by the big snake, and the group of strange fish reacted and saw that it was a big snake, and immediately made a mess, fled in all directions, and swam all at once.

The big snake came to me, only to see the body slowly shrinking, the original bucket was thick, now it is a small snake that is more than a meter long, it seems that the Neidan helped him complete the first layer of the Tao of Essence, the body can change at will, the big snake is telling me that he will. After shrinking down and returning to its original shape after a while, I said, "If you can know where to get out, show us the way." The serpent nodded and walked forward.

The two of us followed the big snake, and we saw that the big snake was still going towards the water tank where we came out, and after a while we came to the waterhole, and the water on it was still flowing down, and there was no change. I don't see how to get out. While I was wondering, I saw the serpent crawl up in front of me and bow down its head. I didn't know what he meant, but when I didn't move, I saw the serpent, which flew into the air and flew towards the hole, and disappeared all at once. I now understand that the serpent was for us to hold her and then it took us out. The big snake didn't go far, probably turned a corner on it, and flew down again, I said to Wang Jinhuai: "Mr. Wang, you hold his neck, let's go up with the big snake." Don't be afraid, the serpent has no ill will towards us. ”

Wang Jinhuai hugged the neck of the big snake, I hugged the waist of the big snake, the big snake saw that we hugged tightly, and once again rose into the air, through the current, we splashed all over the water, the big snake fell after passing through the hole, we climbed down the back of the big snake.

But seeing that there is another secret passage above this, this is a hall, where several streams of water meet, and drain through the hole into the dark river below, it seems that this is a drainage system. No matter what, it's finally out, and it's better to be in danger in the secret passage than not to be able to get out in the dark river.

I patted the big snake on the head and said, "Thank you, you go back, cultivate hard, and become an immortal as soon as possible." ”

But seeing that the big snake leaned its head against me, rubbing my clothes affectionately, it just didn't want to leave, it seemed that it didn't want to leave me, and the feelings of animals were not much worse than those of humans.

I said, "We can't be together, and it's not convenient for you to be so big with me." Let's go and cultivate. ”

I had just finished speaking, but when I saw the serpent slowly shrinking to a foot long, it seemed that he was determined to follow me. I took it with me as soon as I wanted to, and it was out of the way anyway, so I bent down and took the big snake in my hand, and the big snake was meekly coiled in the palm of my hand. I said to him, "It's okay to take you with me, but there's nowhere to put you, and you can't follow me to show up." "I saw the serpent climb from the palm of my hand to my shoulder.

I saw that this was quite good, since he followed me, he should always come up with a name, I asked Wang Jinhuai, who was watching dumbfounded, "Mr. Wang, what do you think I should give him, you give it to the staff officer." Wang Jinhuai pondered for a while and said: "I think this snake values love and righteousness, how about calling it Xiaoyi?" As soon as I heard it, it was not bad, so I patted the big snake and said, "In the future, you will be called Xiaoyi, my name is Lei Yunzi, and the person who named you is Mr. Wang." The serpent nodded, and crawled on my shoulder again.

If it would be great if it would change into a human form, I could also have multiple partners, but it takes time and opportunity to cultivate, maybe one day Xiaoyi can transform into a human form.

To appease Xiaoyi, I carefully observed this hall, the hall is very large and dozens of zhang in size, there are eight secret passages around, all of which have water flowing here, looking at such a huge underground drainage project, the person who designed this secret passage, must have spent a lot of thought. The hall was empty, except for a stone monument where the water flowed beside it. When I saw the stone tablet, I walked over, and Wang Jinhuai followed me to the stone tablet.

I saw that the stele is about one zhang high, it is carved in bluestone, there are many inscriptions on it, because the light of the torch is not very good, the view is very blurry, this is lying on the stele to see what is written on the Wang Jinhuai said: "Can the Taoist make the torch a little brighter, these inscriptions may record, who built these secret roads." You might even find an exit. ”

I heard Wang Jinhuai say this, also came to the interest, took out the last torch on the back, lit it, under the light of the two torches, the inscription is already very clear, only to listen to Wang Jinhuai read: "In 1205, the Jin Emperor Wanyan Yongji because of the rise of Genghis Khan in the north, felt the increasing threat, specially sent the Shandong East Road soldiers and horses to complete the Yan Tushu, in Qingzhou Shouguang County Chi Road next to the construction of underground military facilities, to ensure the safety of Shandong East Road, the facilities lasted three years, the call of 2,000 people, the project is divided into two floors, A total mileage of one hundred and forty miles, the Iron Buddha Temple was built as a cover. There are two main passages and five auxiliary passages, and this is the central drainage point. If you want to find out the secret way, you will see life and turn around. ”

After reading the inscription, Wang Jinhuai asked, "Do you know how to get out, Daoist?" I said, "Seeing the birth and turning around, it is probably arranged according to the eight gates of the gossip, and here is exactly the eight gates, and it seems that we have to find out the birth gate when we go out." ”
