Chapter Twenty-Three: The Snake Rides the Mist
The night breeze wrinkled the pond at the edge of the village.
Under the moonlight.
The microwave is sparkling, the loaches are foaming in the deep mud from time to time, and the river grass in the distance is swaying with the wind, seemingly calm, but full of unknown mystery.
The snake's eyes were full of agility, constantly looking at everything in this world, like a child who had just been born into the world, full of curiosity about everything in heaven and earth.
In fact......
It was the first time Lu Li had seen a snake with wings.
Snakes are reptiles.
Reptiles.
They can move on land like lizards and in the sea like turtles.
But......
With wings, he can soar in the air, and when he spits out letters, he is surrounded by layers of thick fog.
Some look like dragons, but they are not dragons.
It's a subversion.
Immediately, Lu Li shook his head helplessly, and his eyes became calm.
The world itself is a subversive world beyond one's own cognition, and even if you see something bizarre, you shouldn't be shocked.
"I was a small snake in the countryside, a few days ago, wandering by the pond, trying to catch some frogs to fill my belly, but I didn't expect that, as soon as I went out, I saw the lightning shining in the void, I happened to be foraging for food, suddenly was hit by thunder, the river was full of electricity, I was shrouded in lightning, and then the whole body was full of flesh, I was extremely scared ......"
"However, I didn't expect that I actually survived, not only survived, but also the scorched black skin of the whole body began to transform, and a pair of wings grew, and at the same time, the original muddy consciousness suddenly became extremely clear, as if it was no longer foraging, reproducing, and living these already destined destiny, and at the same time, the world was also unprecedentedly clear, I could see every grass and tree, and even speak human words......"
"Subsequent ......"
"In a trance, I saw that there was a holy light in the heavens and the earth, and I subconsciously raised my head ......"
"I see the heaven and the earth, the great immortal is moving forward step by step, with endless waves and majesty on his body, the world in my eyes is full of all kinds of resentment and madness, but the road after you have stepped is innumerable peace and calm, as if to dispel the strange, all things are revived, and the endless glow condenses behind you......"
"I know my big chance is coming......"
"I'm here to apprentice!"
“……”
Doorway.
The little winged snake recounted the scene from its enlightenment to its encounter with Lu Li.
Its eyes were as respectful as Xiao Hei's, and its voice was full of countless fanaticism, looking up at Lu Li like a brainwashed believer.
"What's your name?"
"A small snake by the small river in the pond, just opened the wisdom of the nameless and surname...... If you can, I hope that the great immortal will give you a name! ”
Lu Li looked at this little snake.
After reading it for a long time, he suddenly turned around and returned to the house, flipping through the book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
When he turned to the "Zhongshan Sutra", he squinted his eyes and stared at it for a long time.
"Ninety miles to the south, it is said that the mountain of chaisang has many silver on it, and there are many blue under it, and there are many stones and ochre (zhě), and its wood is more willow (liǔ), 芑 (qǐ), 楮 (chǔ), mulberry, and its beasts are more elk (mí) deer, and there are many white snakes and flying snakes."
Among them, the flying snake is the Teng snake.
Thinking of Teng Snake, Lu Li thought of some unpopular knowledge that he had seen.
Teng snake, dragon also, can soar clouds and fog, rain and wind, in ancient times, and Gou Chen side by side of the divine beast, ranked under the four elephants.
The four elephants are the green dragon, the vermilion bird, the white tiger, and the Xuanwu.
Thinking of this, Lu Li turned his head again and looked at the Teng Snake at the door.
"The other day, every night at midnight, you knocked on the door?"
"Back to Daxian, it's the small one."
"Then why is it early today?"
"It was the Great Immortal who ordered me to come early to apprentice, and the little one didn't dare to disobey?"
"When am I going to get you ahead?"
"Today's sunset, I hid in the jungle under the big locust tree, and saw Daxian you look at me, and shook your head at me twice, shook your head twice, I pondered, didn't Daxian just let me come over two hours early? Although the little one has not had any magical powers for the time being, he is a genius in the sky, and he still has this bit of eyesight. ”
“……”
When Lu Li heard this, he was in a trance for a long time, and when he recalled it, he couldn't cry or laugh.
He never hinted.
It's just that under the big locust tree, there are pieces of prayer cloth, remembering the scene he saw, he is so helpless that he shakes his head.
But I didn't expect that I was misunderstood.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the scene in "Journey to the West", when Sun Wukong was apprenticed to Patriarch Bodhi.
When you think about it, do you feel the same?
"Daisen! If you don't accept me as an apprentice today, I will come over every day to disturb and knock on the door......" Teng Snake saw Lu Li's strange expression, as if he was smiling instead of smiling, and suddenly became a little anxious.
"I'm a mortal myself, I don't have any supernatural powers, and you still want to worship me as a teacher?" Lu Li looked at Teng Snake and asked speechlessly.
"Today's apprenticeship, no regrets for life, disciples are only willing to accompany them for life, never give up!"
"Okay, but I'll say a word beforehand......"
"Daxian, please speak."
"If you don't think there's anything to learn by staying with me, you can leave on your own at any time without saying hello to me!"
"Ah, this ...... Great Immortal, the disciple will never abandon for life, will not regret betrayal, if it is betrayal, he will forever fall into Yama, never be reborn! Teng Snake was stunned when he heard this.
It had just made a vow not to give up, and now when it heard this sentence again, it immediately panicked and immediately swore an oath.
"Okay, I'm done, you come in, well, you apprentice from the moonlight, then let's call it moonlight!"
"Good!"
……………………………………
The door closes.
At the moment when it was closed, several black stones in the corner of Lu Li's house shook, and finally, they cracked into powder.
in the village.
A shadow man landed......
Then he watched in shock at the scenes in this side of the world.
"A few days ago, I clearly sensed that there were mysterious creatures here......
"Just now, here is the world where the fortune of the world is prosperous, as if there is a strange treasure descending into the world, but why, suddenly it is gone?"
"Was it taken away?"
"It seems that there has been a terrible catastrophe here, and the cultivators and ghosts in the mist seem to be losing both, and they can't even clean up the mess?"
"What the hell happened here?"
“……”
The man in black walked around the village for a long time.
A few pedestrians on the path obviously passed by him, and even touched the corners of his clothes, but they couldn't see him.
He wandered around the village for a long time......
However, nothing unusual was noted.
He came to a small hill not far away, and except for some traces of lightning, everything else was extremely normal.
Ultimately......
When he passed by a dilapidated hut.
He suddenly felt a palpitating sensation.
This feeling frightened him immensely, as if it came from the bottom of his heart!
Moham!
There's a big demon here?
When he took two steps towards the edge of the house, the palpitations were swept away, as if they were delusional.
While he was pondering......
"Whew!"
Suddenly!
There was a roar of concussion between heaven and earth......
The void dispersed like ripples with the shout.
He trembled with momentum, and he retreated several steps in a row!
His knees were weak, and then he knelt down inexplicably......
