The dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and darker.

In the end, it almost became a substance, and from a distance, it looked like a huge black stone, embedded in mid-air.

It's just that the surface of the clouds is churning endlessly, as if there is some huge power contained in it, and from time to time there are a few arcs of electricity flickering endlessly, like the vision produced by the monster when it invades the earth in the Ultraman movie, which makes people's scalps tingle.

To the west of Green Snake Village.

Bai Yueling, who was running, became more and more wrong the more she thought about it, so she slowly stopped.

"Miss Xiaoling, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that she didn't leave, Lu Li was suddenly a little anxious, "We have to hurry up, otherwise the treasure will be snatched away!" ”

"That's not right." Bai Yueling frowned, stared at Lu Li tightly, and said in a questioning tone: "We were obviously together in the evening, why did you go out to answer a phone call, and when you came back, you said that you had found a treasure?" ”

"This ......" Lu Li looked a little weak-hearted, and said: "At that time, I went for a walk nearby, and the treasure was discovered by accident. ”

"You're lying!" Bai Yueling snorted coldly: "It's only been two minutes before and after you answered the phone, but we have already run for almost a kilometer, why haven't we arrived yet?" Can you walk so far in two minutes? Long-distance runners can't do it, right? ”

Facing Bai Yueling's continuous questioning, Lu Li was asked, hesitant, and couldn't answer for a while.

"Also, you have such a good relationship with the little white face surnamed Li and found a treasure, why didn't you call him and notify us as soon as possible?" Bai Yueling crossed her waist, stared at Lu Li with wide eyes, and said viciously: "Hurry up and tell me honestly, what kind of intentions did you lure us out!" ”

Lu Li couldn't hide it, so he had to say truthfully: "It was Brother Li who asked me to do this, and he asked me to take you out of the village and go as far as possible." ”

"Sure enough, it's the little white face surnamed Li who is doing ghosts!" Bai Yueling was very angry, raised her foot and kicked Lu Li fiercely, but the latter took a step back to dodge.

Bai Baihua groaned: "Why did Brother Changjing do this? ”

"Why else, I must want to swallow the treasure alone." Bai Yueling sneered: "I have long seen that the little white face is not a good person, in my opinion, the treasure is in the village, he may have secretly taken the treasure, and we are the only ones who are stupid to drink the northwest wind here." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Li is definitely not that kind of person." Lu Li waved his sleeves and snorted: "I have always had a good eye in the next place, Brother Li is upright, and he is just a treasure, and he will not be able to swallow it alone." ”

"Then you admit that there are treasures in the village?" Bai Yueling turned her eyes and caught the loophole in Lu Li's words.

"I ...... I'm just using an analogy. Lu Li said speechlessly: "In fact, Brother Li didn't tell me anything, but he has always been extremely measured, and I believe that he must have his reasons for doing this." ”

Bai Yueling was very dissatisfied with this answer, and was about to continue to fight with Lu Li, but heard Bai Baihua frowning and said, "Strange, didn't Brother Liu Hui say to go to the toilet, let's go first, why haven't you caught up yet?" ”

"yes." Bai Yueling was immediately attracted to attention, and said worriedly: "Why hasn't Brother Hui come back for so long, nothing will happen, right?" ”

"Probably not." Bai Baihua shook his head and said: "Brother Liu Hui has the same strength as me, even if he meets the same opponent, even if he can't beat it, it's very simple to run......

"Look, what's going on!?" Lu Li suddenly pointed in the direction of the road he came from, and said in surprise: "It seems that there is a fire over there." ”

During the day, the Hua brothers and sisters looked at him and found that there was a fire in the distance, and thick smoke was billowing out, staining half of the sky red.

"Oh no, it seems to be Green Snake Village!" Bai Tianhua's face changed drastically: "Brother Changjing is still in the Ruan family's mansion, don't have anything wrong." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go back quickly!" Bai Yueling said anxiously: "Although those villagers don't want to see us, their people are still very good, not to mention that there are so many children, we have to help save people!" ”

Bai Baihua nodded with a calm face, and was about to go back with Bai Yueling, but Lu Li stopped them, pointed to the top of his head and said, "Both, I think it's better for you not to go back, that cloud is very wrong......

During the day, the Hua brothers and sisters glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, and they were all startled, Bai Yueling said with a pale face: "How can there be such a terrible cloud, as if there is some monster hidden...... But in any case, there is a fire in the village, and we have to go back to save people, and that cloud is estimated to be a torrential rain or a blizzard, or hail at most, as long as we pay attention, it will be fine. ”

Bai Tianhua also agreed with his sister's point of view, and with the eagerness to save people, he hurriedly began to run back despite Lu Li's obstruction.

Lu Li couldn't persuade him, sighed, and had no choice but to follow.

————

Inside the Ruan family's mansion, the main hall.

Li Changjing sat alone on the chair, looking at the huge table of dishes, stunned.

After a while, he took a bowl from the kitchen, in addition to Lu Li, Bai Baihua brother and sister, Liu Hui, and Xu Huairou's bowls, he put three more on the table, representing Shui'er, Liu Qingtan, and Xia Keke. It's just that he thought about it and felt that it was not enough, so he put another one on the shopkeeper Xia, hesitated for a while, and then put one on Lin Jia and Lin Duoduo, and in the end, he simply put one on Cheng Ruopeng.

These bowls can be regarded as all Li Changjing's relatives and friends so far.

Li Changjing poured drinks into all these bowls, then raised his own bowl, ready to dry one.

But he thought about it, only the position of the dead will empty the bowl, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the most solemn day of the year, this is a bit unlucky. He thought about it again and again, and finally put away all the empty bowls.

In the end, Li Changjing just poured half a bowl of liquor into his bowl, raised it slightly, and said softly to the empty hall: "In the new year, I wish the people I love and those who love me good health, all the best, and all my wishes come true." ”

After speaking, he drank the white wine in the bowl.

In the end, the pale-faced young man, thousands of miles away from the town, was alone, guarding an empty house, and there was not even half a person with whom he was reunited.

That's how the New Year passed.

Li Changjing put down the bowl, picked up the two Buddha beads on the table, and came to the courtyard step by step. He didn't look at the rolling black clouds in the sky, nor did he pay attention to the sky-high fire in the village, but just said calmly: "When facing Tianwei, the more timid you are, the slimmer the chance of success. ”

Not long after his words fell, a rustling sound sounded behind him, and not long after, a huge green snake suddenly appeared in the hall and cautiously approached Li Changjing.

This big snake, covered with cyan scales, exudes a jewel-like brilliance under the reflection of the light, which is incomparably gorgeous.

The green snake does not have a very thick body, the thickest part is about the size of a chopstick and a half, although it is very long, at least twelve or thirteen meters, but the whole body is full of a slender feeling, the snake body is covered with scaly wounds, you can see the scales that fall off everywhere, there are large wounds in some places, there are new and old, the snake tail is the most seriously injured, it seems that it is because the snake tail is usually used to attack those cultivators.

The most surprising thing is the head of the snake.

This huge green snake, the head of the snake is actually a hazy and misty pale green light, no matter how Li Changjing looks at it, he can't see the specific situation inside.

Li Changjing stood up and was about to raise his hands, but at this moment, he only heard the sound of breaking wind in his ears, and a tall man came in from the outside over the wall and landed steadily in the courtyard.
