Chapter 64: Saving the Spirit Snake (1)
"I really don't understand what the old guys of the Kunlun Sword League think, what is the difficulty of dealing with a one-horned red-pupiled rhino, you have to meet Penglai, and the people of the two factions in Shushan can go, these guys are so slow that they will die, so we will be delayed here in vain." Yan Qingli sat very unhappily on the extension of the railing on the second floor of the restaurant, one leg hanging in the air, drinking wine and complaining.
Behind her sat at the table a well-mannered, polite girl, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a double bun, a round face and eyes, very cute and cute.
The girl persuaded softly: "Senior sister, the masters must have their reasons for arranging this, you don't have to question it anymore, not to mention that the people of this Qiyu city are rich and lively, let's stay a few more days, it's also fun, isn't it!" β
"Yes! Senior sister, you see, the fat powder jewelry here and the food are all extremely exquisite and meticulous, isn't it exactly what you want? Otherwise, five hundred taels of silver would not have been consumed so quickly, and in the past, we had nowhere to use a lot of silver! The young man next to the girl echoed with a wicked smile, he was not much older than the girl, but when he spoke, he always had a pretending old spirit, which made people want to laugh even if he was in a bad mood.
This pair of teenagers and girls are Yan Qingli's junior brothers and sisters who don't know how far back they are, and they are also her loyal followers, and they are the closest people to her in the Shaking Light Sect, but when did this kind of good relationship start, Yan Qingli can't say at all.
The relationship between people is like this, there will always be some people who will like you and follow you for no reason, and there will always be some people who will hate you and exclude you for no reason.
Yan Qingli's popularity in the Shaking Light School is not good, maybe she is too casual, unrestrained, and always alone, leaving people with the impression of being arrogant and unapproachable, or she is too outstanding, outstanding, only twenty years old, proficient in the one hundred and one hundred Taoism and twenty-nine stunts of Shaking Light, and is the descendant disciple of the head of the family, often entrusted with important tasks, the limelight, how can she not be excluded and jealous.
"Senior sisterβ" Senior sister Shen Yanbing stepped forward and snatched her wine glass, "You don't drink anymore." Wine is the number one taboo for our cultivators, Xiao Gao and I will not say it, because we are afraid that we will suddenly bump into people from other sects, and if the wind of the Shaoguang sect is damaged, it will be spread to the ears of the master, and you will be punished again. β
"Oh-" A trace of confusion and trance flashed in Yan Qingli's eyes, allowing Shen Yanbing to snatch the wine glass from her hand, although she was unruly, she was always willing to listen to this little junior sister's words.
"Hey, hey, sell snake gall bladder, clear the liver and eyes, aphrodisiac and replenish the body, come and see! Buy now, kill now, guaranteed freshness. Big brothers and sisters, come and take a look! There was a crisp and fluent shouting from downstairs, which attracted many people to come and watch.
Yan Qingli didn't like to join in the fun, but at a glance, he was attracted by the small purple snake that was alone in a bamboo basket, and involuntarily jumped downstairs to take a closer look.
The little purple snake seemed to be quite spiritual, seeing Yan Qingli's arrival, he changed his lazy pretense of sleep, spit out letters, and wandered restlessly in the bamboo basket, and a pair of golden eyes looked at Yan Qingli, as if begging for help.
The snake seller is a sloppy and thin man, who has made four or five transactions in just a while, and is on the rise, when he sees Yan Qingli's extraordinary appearance, and stares intently at his killer feature, he smiled and said: "Girl, you have taken a fancy to my purple beetle baby, hahaha......", revealing a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth, which is annoying.
Yan Qingli said: "How does this little snake sell the law?" β
The snake seller said: "The girl really has good eyesight, this little snake is my supreme treasure, and it will not be sold for three hundred taels of silver." β
Yan Qingli stuck out her tongue: "Three hundred taels? You just go and grab it. β
The onlookers were also unconvinced: "Cut-this is too tricky!" Even your biggest black python only sells for fifty taels, how can such a small snake weighing a pound sell for three hundred taels? β
The snake seller said triumphantly: "Hmph, you don't know the goods!" This is a beetle snake with cultivation and spirituality, in order to catch him, Lao Tzu almost rolled off the cliff and lost this old life. β
Yan Qingli checked his money bag, there were at most ten taels of silver in it, where could he afford to buy this beetle snake, and still said quietly: "I only see that the scales of this snake are bright and beautiful, and the others are nothing special." β
The snake seller pointed at her and stomped her feet and said: "Superficial, do you know what a 'beetle' is, a snake can only be 'beetle' after cultivating for a thousand years, and then it will become a dragon if you cultivate for a thousand years." You see, the serpent has little wings on both sides! Tell me, why isn't it worth three hundred taels? β
Yan Qingli said: "Where are the wings, why didn't I see them." β
"Here, hereβ" the snake seller was already very impatient, "simply untied the lid on the bamboo basket, pointed the left index finger on the snake's head, and flexibly pinched the snake's seven inches with the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and the little snake that was originally active immediately could not move.
Yan Qingli looked a little distressed, and pretended to be kind and pleasant: "Boss, how can you see it in my way?" In this way, you let go of your hand, I take a closer look, if there are really wings, I don't say a word, I will pay and leave immediately! β
The snake seller saw that she was sincere, so he let go of his hand, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, as soon as the snake seller took out his hand, Yan Qingli quickly put his hand in, rolled the little snake into his sleeve, and ran away quickly, how could the snake seller catch up, he could only watch with his eyes, angry and anxious; "Girl, you haven't paid yet!"
I only heard Yan Qingli say without replying: "Look for my junior brother and sister, they are drunk upstairs drinking." β
When I looked at her again, she was long gone.
Yan Qingli ran out for more than ten miles in one breath, until she saw a green lake, she stopped, she was so tired that she was out of breath, and she hadn't used light skills for a long time, although it would be much easier to escape with Dao techniques, but she was afraid that her sudden disappearance would only scare these ignorant mortals, and she was afraid that she would leave too far away from her junior brothers and sisters, and it would not be easy for them to catch up.
The little snake was taken out of her sleeve, and it was said that the snake was a ferocious and cold-blooded animal, just now she was just running all the way, and Yan Qingli didn't have time to prevent it from biting back, but this little snake was unexpectedly well-behaved and docile, not only did it stay in her sleeve quietly and motionlessly, but it seemed to be very dependent on her, even if it was to let it go back at this moment, it was still wrapped around Yan Qingli's wrist, and the little head kept rubbing and rubbing in her palm.
Yan Qingli saw that its purple scales were shining in the afterglow of the setting sun, and it was dazzling
Some can't bear to let it go, but think about it if you really want to leave it as a pet, and always feel too dangerous, who knows if it will one day be animalistic, bite the owner back, forget it, or let it return to nature!
"Little snake, little snake, go home! In the future, you have to be very careful, don't be caught easily, not every time you meet a good person like me. The little beetle snake seemed to be very reluctant, refusing to go down to the ground for a long time, and its golden eyes stared at Yan Qingli's face with spirituality, as if to remember her well.
Yan Qingli was a little impatient, forcibly threw the little snake on the ground, and said loudly: "Let's go!" β
The little snake then slowly swam into the water, drawing a meandering arc on the calm lake surface, the purple scales on its body were invaded by the lake, more purple and shining, dazzling, suddenly its body must be, on both sides of each unfolded a pair of flesh wings, like a pair of small oars, I don't know how many times faster than the parade just now.
Yan Qingli looked at the figure of the little snake gradually disappearing, and smiled slightly: "Haha, you really have wings." I finally felt a little relieved: "I killed a female ghost by mistake a few days ago, and today I saved a spirit snake, and I finally got off the credit." β
"Senior Sisterββ, Senior Sister-" The panting call got closer and closer, Yan Qingli's brows furrowed involuntarily, and he turned around and said, "You two are really useless, it took half an hour later than I imagined to catch up, and the more you cultivate, the more you go back." β
Senior sister Shen Yanbing stroked her chest and said breathlessly: "With your current light achievements, senior sister, it would be good for us to catch up, not to mention that there was a bitter pestering of the snake seller in front of us." β
Senior Brother Gao Chongyue agreed: "Yes! We didn't have the money to pay the snake seller, and we were humiliated by him and the onlookers-by, if it wasn't for the special explanation of the master before leaving the door not to let me use force against mortals, I would have beaten them up a long time ago. β
Yan Qingli smiled indifferently: "Hehe, you have no money to pay the bill and want to beat people, it's really unreasonable." β
Xiao Gao said angrily: "Senior sisterββ, the one who is poor in money, but you, it was you who abducted other people's baby snakes and left your poor junior brother and sister in the top tank, you are embarrassed to say cool things, hum!" β
Yan Qingli hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, okay, it's my fault senior sister, how did you settle it later?" β
Xiao Gao said: "How to settle it, I had to pick up a few stones and use Taoism to change the difference, and after a while, the spell disappeared and returned to the original, we don't know how to be scolded by the snake seller." β
Yan Qingli smiled: "Scold, scold!" We can't hear it anyway. β
While he was talking, suddenly there was a burst of women's crying on the other side of the lake, Yan Qingli's curiosity rose again, and as soon as she turned around, she had arrived on the other side of the lake, Shen Yanbing and Xiao Gao glanced at each other helplessly, and had to keep up with difficulty.
The women who were weeping and crying by the lake suddenly saw the arrival of the white clothes, their clothes fluttering, and their graceful posture, and they were all shocked and stopped crying.
"You are crying here, I don't know what it is, if there is a difficulty, you might as well come and say, maybe I can serve you a thing or two."
The women looked at Yan Qingli silently for a while, and finally a woman in her early thirties and a slight figure stepped forward to bow and salute, and then said: "We are the villagers of the nearby Tianshui Village, and this place is the lower reaches of the Tianshui River, so I gather here every day to wash clothes, talk and laugh every day, sing and make trouble, not to mention how happy we are, but ...... But now......" her voice was choked again, and she began to weep again, and the rest of the women wept aloud with them.
