Chapter Ninety-Five: The Snake Man
To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable looking at Chai Kuan like this. I thought about it, if I were Chai Kuan, I'm afraid it would be the same pain. Sometimes, the sacrifice that someone gives to you is accompanied by a lot of pressure.
Chai Kuan always remembers the sacrifices made by his parents and siblings for himself, and always thinks that he will repay them for his success, but in the end? It's been more than 20 years in the blink of an eye, what is the situation of his brothers and sisters, parents and relatives?
Although I can't empathize with this pain, I also feel that it is quite unpleasant, and I don't know how to comfort him for a while, so I let him go. After a while, Chai Kuan's mood calmed down a little, and then he wiped his tears embarrassedly and continued to talk about the situation at that time.
The big green snake didn't swallow Ai Yongjun, but bit him, and the huge snake teeth pierced through the top of the skull, and some brains were squeezed out. The scene of watching his companion die tragically made Chai Kuan unforgettable. At that moment, where did he still remember the grievances between himself and Ai Yongjun in his heart, he only felt sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and even had the urge to cry.
Under the great fear, everyone began to flee for their lives, such a monster-like snake was not something they could deal with.
The snake didn't catch up, and on the way to escape, Chai Kuan glanced back and found that Ai Yongjun, who had been bitten through the head by the big snake, did not fall, but faced the place where everyone had fled, staring at them directly.
Chai Kuan's scalp exploded, a person who was obviously damned, staring at you with such a posture, presumably no one can treat it calmly. In such a terrifying situation, Chai Kuan stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground in an instant. At the same time, he saw Ai Yongjun's body begin to twitch, and a layer of green, like a plant growing rapidly, covered his body.
Chai Kuan didn't want to be scared, he got up and ran, he knew that Ai Yongjun couldn't be alive, and the changes that happened to him now reminded Chai Kuan of a ghost story he had read. There are countless ghost stories circulating among the people, even for a few days and nights.
And the snake man is one of them.
It is said that snakes like to be quiet, especially some snakes that have become fine, are lazy to move, they can turn people into a kind of half-human and half-snake creatures, for them to send, to hunt for them, in ancient times there was a legend of snake people robbing cattle and sheep, the ancients saw it, splashed with sulfur water, you can be scared away.
Chai Kuan fled for his life while thinking, the size of the big snake had obviously become a spirit, did it turn Ai Yongjun into a snake man? As expected, the big snake stayed under the water and was too lazy to move, not to chase after everyone, but to send Ai Yongjun to do it.
Soon, a monster covered in green scales appeared, and everyone fled all the way back to the underground of Liuzi Country, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being killed. Chai Kuan survived because he was young and healthy, but the rest of the professors and assistants who were slightly older lost their lives one after another.
Later, Chai Kuan inadvertently hid in the place where there was a statue of the goddess of snakes, and was taken by the goddess of snakes, and lived an almost muddy life. Maybe it's because they are all working for Snake Mo, so Ai Yongjun has not hurt Chai Kuan in the past 20 years.
As for how to live in the past 20 years, Chai Kuan's memory is not very clear, and as for the dried corpses collected in his room, they should be his companions at that time. Although Chai Kuan was taken into account, he still had some memories left in his subconscious, and subconsciously protected the corpse of his companion, and the reason why he was tracking me at that time was probably because he saw me move his teacher's body.
In other words, the thing that was killed by my sΓ©ance at that time was actually the snake man Ai Yongjun?
The thought that he had been a human being and that I had killed him made me feel very uncomfortable and guilty. Tan Jian seemed to know what I was thinking, and said calmly: "The snake man was changed after death, and he is already a monster, and he is not a human. He obviously said this to me, and he felt moved immediately, and just as he was about to speak, Tan Jian had already changed the topic and asked Chai Kuan: "When you returned, did anything abnormal happen?" β
Chai Kuan frowned and recalled, and finally shook his head and said, "What are you here for?" This owner of the walrus tusk is important to you? Tan Jian didn't bother to answer, so I said, "We were entrusted by the fat boss to help find the owner of this walrus tusk, that is, his father. His father, who was part of that geological expedition, disappeared forty-one years ago. β
Chai Kuan's face was stunned, and he said, "I see, you want to find that person's body?" β
"No, we think, that person is still alive, and we want to find a living person."
"Impossible." Chai Kuan then said these three words.
Tan Jian got up, not planning to continue the topic, he said, "Nothing is impossible. The underground shrine you mentioned should be in this place, and the big snake in the water is also alive. β
"What do you mean?" Chai Kuan asked inexplicably.
Tan Jian pointed at me: "That big snake turned into a woman and seduced my employees. β
The word seduction seems to be used in a different way...... I'm not a male snake, what is it seducing me? Control me pretty much the same. Could it be that the big snake wants to turn me into a snake man? I shuddered at the thought of this possibility, even if I died, I couldn't fall into its hands.
After Tan Jian said this, he didn't plan to continue the topic, let Chai Kuan rest on his own, and returned to the fire. Chai Kuan had just woken up, and he didn't know how many thoughts were spinning in his mind, where he slept, leaning on the side in a daze, and asked me after a while: "You have to find that person before you want to leave?" β
I nodded and said, "Anyway, do your best." β
Chai Kuan said: "Can I follow you?" I want to go home. β
I said, "Of course, if we don't send you back, will we let you continue to be a primitive here?" β
Chai Kuan showed gratitude and said, "Thank you......" He seemed to want to say something, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at the darkness on the left, and the whole person stood up suddenly, shouting: "Who! I was startled, and hurriedly followed, only to see a dark shadow flash by, running into the darkness.
Tan Jian on the side also saw the situation, his reaction speed was extremely fast, after all, he had practiced martial arts, and instantly jumped up and chased directly towards the black shadow. Fuck, this kid didn't even bring a flashlight, how can he chase it in the dark!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tan Jian to come back, with a cold face, and said directly: "I lost it." β
I touched my nose, which was expected, of course, a good employee must not take the initiative to expose the boss's shortcomings, so I skipped the topic directly and asked: "Boss, do you see who he is?" β
Tan Jian said: "The black light is blind, how can I see clearly?" β
I said, "Why is he running so fast?" β
Tan Jian said: "The other party seems to be very familiar with this place, maybe it is that person." He looked at the stone arrows stuck in the ground.
What would be the identity of that mystery man?
None of this is known, but at least, we can be sure that there should be no ill will in that person.
Then there were no more accidents, and at three o'clock, we woke up Zhou Xuanye to change shifts and handed over the situation during this time. Zhou Xuanye was quite surprised, looked at Chai Kuan, who was letting his thoughts fly on the side, and said, "Tomorrow, go to the venue that Tiangu said to have a look." β
Tan Jian said: "Our thoughts coincide. β
I was shocked and said, "Boss, Brother Zhou, there is a snake demon in that place." You are helping people find corpses, not collecting demons! "I've been in the office for a while, and I have a general understanding of the skills of the two of them.
Zhou Xuanye: I know martial arts, but it's not as exaggerated as in martial arts TV series, it's just that we ordinary people are much better when we reach out. can refine corpses, the previous sΓ©ance and the first meeting to make the corpse move, all belong to the scope of corpse refining.
Listening to Tang Linlin, the art of refining corpses, waiting, is used to walk corpses, which is what was called corpse chasers in the past. The medium one is used to refine the corpse, and the refined corpse has all kinds of magical powers, while the corpse refiner can use the refined corpse to achieve many purposes. Good use is good to do good, evil to use is evil, so this alchemy of corpses, belongs to the way of half good and half evil, and because of this, it later went to the people, Taoist orthodoxy, but there are very few people. As for the superior, that is the legendary thing, the living dead, the resurrection technique, it sounds a bit nonsense, the dead, how can there be a reason to be refined?
I don't know if Zhou Xuanye has refined corpses, but I have seen him walking corpses, and besides that, if you want to say that he can collect demons, I really don't believe it.
Tan Jian is even inferior, he mainly focuses on the art of easy divination, and when he speaks, he talks like a god, in addition to knowing some kung fu, in some aspects, he is not as good as Zhou Xuanye. Compared with ordinary people like us, these two people are naturally more skilled, and I can't catch up with them, but if I deal with that snake demon, it won't be enough.
