Chapter 21, the birthday of the song

After running out of the white light, Ziyu found that they were still in the same room, but the furniture in the room looked a little older than the one they were in before. And the woman and the young Lige in the bedroom before had disappeared, replaced by a red snake with thick forearms, quietly coiled on the bed, as if it was cultivating.

This is a 400-year-old song, which has been refined into a monster.

Probably because they are located in the Soul Path of Lige, the consciousness of Lige will also directly enter their minds when Ziyu and them pass through the Soul Path.

For example, now, Zi Yu looked at Lige on the bed, but she already knew in her mind that although she was cultivating at this time, she was actually waiting for her mother to come home.

Because Lige is scarlet, Lige's mother hid the existence of Lige from the clansmen. Panicked that the egg failed to survive the pain of breaking the shell when it broke the shell, and unfortunately died in the eggshell.

Fortunately, the Feiling Snake Clan does have some newborn snakes who die every year because they can't survive when they break their shells, so the people of the clan are not suspicious of this explanation, but they just feel that it is really pitiful for Lige's mother to lose her husband and son at a young age.

The Fei Ling Snake Clan has a gentle and loyal personality, and has only one partner in his life, after leaving Song's mother to be widowed, the same clan is hindered by his new mourning for a long time, even if Lige's mother is at home, she rarely comes to the door, if Lige's mother is not at home, the neighbors even bypass the house, let alone come in.

Therefore, Lige has been able to survive for 400 years and has not been discovered so far.

Seeing this, Zi Yu suddenly asked Hui Xun out of place: "Speaking of which, I remember that you said that you have cultivated for a thousand years, but the snake clan has become a demon for a thousand years......"

"I'm a demon over 500 years old." Hui Xun interrupted and explained, "But I said this because I have a thousand years of cultivation. ”

Ziyu nodded and stopped talking.

Not long after leaving Song's mother, she came back with a bamboo basket hanging between her arms, and the basket contained a lot of grass.

Zi Yu recognized those grasses, that kind of grass is on the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and it has a dyeing effect, Zi Yu sometimes bored and will pick some of this grass and grind it into juice, and draw turtles on his face while Nan Su is asleep.

It's just that the color dyed with this grass will fade when it meets the water, and every time Nansu wakes up and washes his face, the turtle will be washed away.

When Lige's mother came back, she turned around and went to the kitchen, and after a while she came out with a small basin.

The basin contained a small half basin of green liquid, and Zi Yu recognized at a glance that it was the juice of the grass.

"Li'er, you soak in this basin for a while, and my mother will go to change your clothes and take you out." The woman whispered softly to the song on the bed and left the room.

And Lige Wenyan, who was shrunk on the bed, also crawled slowly, and soaked in the basin.

It was a little uncomfortable to soak in the sticky grass juice, but Lige was extremely happy in his heart.

Today is her birthday, and she finally mustered up the courage to tell her mother that she wanted to go outside to see. She has never left the house since she was born, and she rarely even comes out of her bedroom. In the past 400 years, she has always remembered her mother's words and worked hard to cultivate.

She remembered that her mother had told her that the Spirit Snake had always been close to humans, and as long as it was cultivated, it would rarely appear in its original form.

The mother said that as long as she cultivated her human form, she could go out and walk around, to see the world outside, and no longer have to stay in this small house all the time, hiding and hiding without seeing the day.

She longed for the laughter outside the window, and the bustle outside the house, but she didn't even dare to approach the window, and her mother was afraid that some people would see her passing by by accidentally, so she closed the doors and windows in the bedroom.

She understands her mother's worries, so she has practiced hard in the past 400 years, and heard that most of her fellow clans are 200-year-old spirits, 500-year-old monsters, and 1,000-year-old demons. Only when she becomes a demon can she cultivate her human body, so she cultivated desperately, and when she was a hundred years old, she was already a refinement, and a few days ago, she turned into a monster again.

Her mother was delighted with her efforts, and for the first time asked her what she wanted when her birthday was approaching. What does she wish? I guess I can leave this house once and go outside.

She wanted to see what it was like outside, she was four hundred years old, but she had never seen the blue sky and white clouds, she had never seen the sunrise and sunrise, she guarded one room, and that room became her whole world.

Although her mother would often tell her about the scenery outside. I heard my mother say that she had traveled to the world with her father when she was young, and my mother liked the desert the most, and liked the yellow sand and bright moon of the desert. Her mother promised her that as long as she cultivated her human body, she would take her to the desert to see.

She longed for it in her heart, so she cultivated harder.

In fact, when she first told her mother about her birthday wishes, she was extremely uneasy in her heart. She was afraid that her mother would be unhappy, and she was afraid that her mother would feel ignorant.

But she has been sensible for four hundred years, and she remembers her mother's words, and even at night she does not dare to open the window and open the door. In the hot summer, her bedroom was extremely stuffy because it was closed, but no matter how hot it was, she didn't think about secretly opening the window to let in the air. She didn't want her mother to worry about her, she knew that her mother was tired every day, and she hoped that her mother would stop worrying about her.

Fortunately, my mother was not unhappy and did not think she was ignorant. After she finished saying her wish, her mother was only slightly stunned, and then a gentle smile spread on her face: "Okay, on Li'er's birthday, my mother will take Li'er to take a look outside." ”

Lige closed her eyes and finally buried her head in the juice, she didn't care about the strange smell gushing into her nose, she just soaked quietly, looking forward to the next trip.

The song was taken out in a basket. The bottom of the basket was covered with some tender grass, and some cotton wool was put on top of the grass, and after Lige's mother put Lige in it, she spread some grass on it, and finally covered it with a piece of embroidered cloth, and then carried the basket out.

Because Lige left the house, Ziyu and his three souls were finally able to leave the house and go out with Lige and Lige's mother.

Because the basket is made of soft bamboo, Lige looks at the scenery outside through the small holes on the bamboo basket.

The streets of people come and go, the hawkers who shout and leave, and the simple and quaint shops, which are lively and interesting, and they are dazzling and exciting to see.

Knowing that Lige likes to watch these, Lige's mother is very slow. Ziyu also slowed down her pace and followed Lige's mother slowly.

She saw the worry and caution hidden in Lige's mother's eyes, but more than that, happiness and satisfaction.

This is the first time that Lige and her mother have gone out, one person, one snake, one line and one hiding, but the mood is the same joy.

Maybe the next time the two of them go out together again will be the time for Lige to cultivate his human form, but Lige is still full of expectations for the arrival of that day.

Lige's mother finally took Lige to a small plain, which was a green grassy meadow, and there was a babbling stream on the edge of the meadow, and the blue sky and white clouds were reflected in the clear water, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

Zi Yu looked at this familiar, looked at Ji Liuhuo suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Is this the grass we went to after entering the Song Soul Dao before?" ”

Ji Liuhuo glanced lightly at Lige, who was lying on the grass lazily basking in the sun, and Lige's mother who was sitting next to Lige with a shallow smile on her face, and Hui Xun, who was lying next to Lige and looking at Lige with a doting face, nodded slightly and said, "Exactly." ”

Ji Liuhuo also sat down on the grass as he spoke, basking in the sun quietly. The sun was just right, and it was very comfortable to fall on your body. Ji Liuhuo closed his eyes comfortably, and Ziyu ran to the stream to play alone when he saw this.

When she was woken up, it was already a little dark, she rubbed her eyes in a daze, and found that Lige's mother had packed up and was ready to leave, and Lige returned to the basket again.

Ziyu didn't react for a while, looked at the sky a little blankly, and then looked at Lige's mother, who looked a little worried, and asked Ji Liuhuo in a daze: "Have I slept for a long time?" Why is it getting dark? ”

Ji Liuhuo pulled her, who hadn't woken up yet, to keep up with Lige's mother, who was walking like a fly in front of her, and said succinctly: "It's going to rain." ”

Zi Yu was startled, completely sobered up, looked at Lige's mother who was walking quickly in front of her, and Hui Xun who was following closely, and immediately stepped to follow.

Lige's mother walked fast and not in a hurry, so Lige in the basket stayed safely. Seeing that the rain was about to fall, Lige's mother only walked to Dongqiu, and there was a long downtown street after Dongqiu, and after walking the street, she had to turn east and west and walk through the residential street to Lige's house.

Zi Yu thought back to the next journey, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, she kept muttering beside her while hurrying to keep up with Lige's mother: "Use spells, use spells, don't go, use spells." ”

But Lige's mother could not hear her, and still walked quickly and steadily, but the worry in her eyes became more and more serious.

"The Fei Ling Snake Clan is close to human beings, and the place where the clan lives is also set up as much as possible to imitate the human world, and it is said that one of their clan rules is that the clan residence is only allowed to practice, and no law can be used." Ji Liuhuo couldn't help but explain when he saw Zi Yu scratching her ears and cheeks in a hurry, "If she used the spell, she would probably be invited to the ancestral hall by a group of people from the Fei Spirit Snake Clan who had cultivated to the top of her cultivation in the next moment. ”

"What kind of broken clan rules this is!" Ziyu complained.

Hui Xun also had worry in his eyes, but there was a smile on his face: "Not only that, but the Fei Ling Snake Clan also stipulates that if you can't cultivate your human form, you can't leave the clan." Although this is also a common rule of the snake clan, only the Fei Ling Snake clan has specially set up a barrier to cast spells in order to prevent violators. I think it's because of this rule that Ah Li's mother didn't take Ah Li out of here. ”

As he spoke, a group of two snakes and three souls finally walked out of the cave.

It's just that they weren't lucky, and as soon as they came out, the rain began to fall, at first it was only a few drops, and then it became heavier and heavier.
