The 390th Tribulation of the Golden Serpent (5)
The real Xuanzi was already in tears when he saw this, and his heart was like a knife.
This scene was the most painful and unforgettable experience of her life, she hated why she didn't listen to the advice and insisted on going down the mountain, she hated how she could fall in love with the man who was cruel to her and tried to take her life. Past and present lives, no matter what, it was a terrible nightmare......
Xuanzi, who was half-human and half-snake in the cage, didn't bother to talk to cultivators, she was the one who was sad about her day and night, how could she be so ruthless to her. is only afraid of her monster identity, and does not care about the relationship between husband and wife. The human heart is the most unpredictable, and she didn't know this when she chose to be with Shou Yu.
"Kill me. Rather than this, life is better than death. The snake woman closed her eyes in despair, trying to wait for the man to give her a fatal execution.
"Hmph, how can it be so easy? I can't let you go so easily. You make me, so obsessed. Since you don't want to be with me, then all of this is your own doing! You know that your husband and mother-in-law are not the only human beings who fear and reject aliens, and tomorrow you will know what it means to be terrible. ”
After saying these last words to her, the practitioner went into the room on his own. said that he was obsessed with her, but now she was imprisoned in the cold courtyard, and his skin and flesh were blooming, and he did not have the slightest pity for her.
The cultivator thinks clearly, since he can't fly with her and gain her heart, it is better to increase his cultivation greatly. In fact, his heart is very empty, and all that is empty is the obsession of wanting to have higher mana than others.
"Shou Yu, if you want to cure your aunt's illness, you have to do it as soon as possible, tomorrow before the full moon is the best time to give your aunt the Golden Snake Inner Dan! At that time, the demon clan's spiritual power is the strongest, and the inner dan will also increase the aura with the moon's brilliance!"
"But ......" Shou Yu was still immersed in the horror that his wife was actually a snake demon.
"Child, if this is really what Mr. said, then I am willing to give it a try, and when I get better in the future, I don't have to drag you down. My mother can also do some work, and save some savings for you to marry a real person as a daughter-in-law!"
Although the old lady's voice was weak, her idea was very correct, and she had already thought about the future for her son. Although the snake demon was terrifying, the thought of a cultivator around him who knew how to subdue demons made him bolder.
Shou Yu listened to the old lady's words, and his eyes were still dull, and he didn't answer.
"Brother, what are you still thinking about? Alas, I know that this incident has hit you hard, and I blame my weak mana for not being able to understand the true identity of the snake demon, and letting her confuse you for so long. If this goes on for a long time, your yang longevity will also be damaged or even die because of the essence absorbed by the snake demon. Now that there is a great opportunity to cure your mother's stubborn illness, why don't you seize it? If you wait a few days, the snake demon's mana will recover. We don't have anyone to cure her!"
The cultivator really showed extreme patience at this moment, and kept convincing Shou Yu.
The next day, when it was still dawn, the mother and son in the house heard a noise outside the courtyard.
It was a knock on the door.
"Shou Yu! Shou Yu Niang, open the door for me! I am the village chief! I heard that there is a monster in your house, on behalf of the whole village, I hope you will hand over the monster quickly! The mother and son woke up suddenly.
Xuanzi, who was already scarred in the cage in the hospital and had been blown by the cold wind all night, was even more frightened and trembling when she heard this, but she had no extra strength to struggle anymore. Sure enough, the sick cultivator really went to sue the other villagers.
The mother and son panicked after hearing this, and didn't know what to do. That cage is a cultivator's magic weapon, and they can't manipulate it. If the village chief and the villagers know that they are secretly hiding monsters, it may not end well.
Shou Yu hurriedly ran to the door with his hands in a hurry, and shouted at the door: "Village, village chief, it's early in the morning, what's wrong with you?
"Is there any, you can only know when you see it! Otherwise, how can we rest assured?" The village chief was still persistent. The door was slammed.
Shou Yu still didn't dare to open the door. Because the snake demon was really trapped in the cage in the courtyard. But at this moment, he didn't know where his brother-in-law, that cultivator, had gone.
The knock on the door sounded for a while and then there was no movement, and Shou Yu thought that the village chief had left and wanted to lie down to the door to listen to the movement. At this time, there was another bustling noise outside the door. It's like a lot of people are outside the door.
"Old six, open the door quickly!!" At this time, a big man with a rough voice shouted to the door. Because Shou Yu's father was called the sixth child during his lifetime, he called their family like this.
Shou Yu didn't dare to make a sound inside the door.
There was no movement inside, and the knock outside the door was louder.
"Open the door quickly! Except for the monsters, we can rest assured! Your family actually hides monsters, do you want to harm the whole village?"
The old lady was in a hurry on the couch in the house. She could not go down to the ground unless there was no one to help her up. Like her son, she fears that the matter will be revealed and that the whole village will drive her mother and son out of the village.
At this time, there was a loud noise, and the door of Shou Yu's house was slammed open from the outside. A total of twenty or thirty people rushed into the courtyard of Shou Yu's house.
Shou Yu, who didn't wait for the panic, reacted to this. The villagers who rushed in outside the door had already rushed to the demon slaying cage where Xuanzi was trapped.
"Youkai!" the crowd exclaimed when they saw the scene in front of them. It turns out that there is really a monster hidden in Shou Yu's house!
A woman who rushed in with a menacing momentum just now was frightened by Xuanzi, who had golden scales on her face and a snake tail on her body, and was about to scatter. The bravery of just now is long gone.
"Quick! Catch this monster!" the village chief, an old man who was almost seventy years old, couldn't help but be frightened, and almost fell to the ground.
"Burn her with fire! Kill the people!!" Another villager is a hunter, perhaps because he has seen too many snakes and is not so afraid of this snake demon.
"Yes, she should be burned to death!" agreed, another sturdy-looking villager!
"Take Shouyu's mother and son away, take them all away for me!" The village chief saw the human snake Xuanzi and took a few steps back.
"Village...... The village chief?...... Isn't that Shou Yu's lady?" said a young village woman tremblingly. Although she is also afraid of the monster in front of her.
"Hey, it seems that she is really the daughter-in-law of the Shouyu family! I didn't expect her to be a monster! It's terrifying!" said a man who seemed to be a member of the family with the village woman.
"Well, it's really Shouyu's family!" the village chief snorted, his cane dangling on the ground.
"Village, village chief, maybe this mother and son are also two monsters! Maybe their family is a demon!" The village woman who spoke before said in a trembling voice, for fear that the family in front of her would endanger her life.
"What are you looking at? don't hurry up and do it!" said the village chief to the crowd in a commanding tone, but he was getting farther and farther away from the human snake in the cage, for fear that the snake demon would rush out of the cage and bite him.
"Hmph, it turns out that this slut turned out to be a goblin, no wonder he has a flattering face! It turns out that he is not a person! Phew!" a red-faced man with a look of disdain said a look of disdain.
Everyone in the village knew that Shou Yu had married a lady who was as beautiful as a fairy. From time to time, some men who covet Genko's beauty will harass her. But they were all avoided by Xuanzi one by one, including this red-faced man. The man never thought that this charming-looking woman turned out to be really a demon.
The courtyard was crowded with people, and the sound of abuse against Xuanzi and Shouyu's family spread all over the place.
Although everyone was afraid of Xuanzi in the form of a human snake, they didn't know that her demonic power had already been destroyed by the blood of the cultivator at this moment.
And that cultivator had long since hid at the back of the crowd of villagers, watching the play quietly and not speaking.
Seeing the movement of the crowd, the cultivators hid under the haystack outside the courtyard until they watched as everyone forcibly carried away the cage trapped in Xuanzi and escorted Shou Yu and the sick old mother away......
"Hmph, you listened to me obediently in the first place, how good it would be to come with me. Now it's all up to you. The practitioner muttered to himself as he dodged away.
He suddenly realized that the human drama was so interesting, no wonder his father chose to be with his mother, who was a human being. However, they gave birth to him though. But what good did the two of them get in the end? Didn't they both enter the underworld?
At the entrance of the village, everyone gathered
People gather there to watch the excitement. Because wait a minute, and they're going to burn the monster in their mouth alive.
On a platform made of hay and wood was a huge rattan cage, in which was a limp Xuanzi. There were large and small wounds all over the face and body, and the scale armor on the snake's tail had fallen off in several places, leaving blood stains. The once beautiful woman was tortured and dying, and she didn't want to fight against fate anymore.
Things developed quickly, and Shou Yu's mother and son were also tied aside. The villagers are ready to dispose of them together if they see that the two of them also show snake tails like Xuanzi!
"Quick! Light a fire! Burn her! Eliminate the harm for the people!" the village chief was impassioned, leaning on crutches.
"Burn the youkai! burn the youkai!" the villagers shouted.
A man lifted his spirits and was about to throw the torch towards Genko's cage when someone in the crowd spoke.
"Everyone, please wait!" the man's voice was so loud that the cultivator squeezed in from the crowd.
"Who are you?" shouted a meaty man to the cultivator.
"I?haha, I'm the one who came to save you!" replied calmly.
"Aren't you the man who went to Shou Yu's house?!Who the hell are you?" a woman recognized him.
"Big brother, it's you, big brother! You're here! Come and save me and my mother!" Shou Yu's voice was almost broken, and he was already using all his strength, he was very afraid that he would really be burned to death.
