The clouds were spread in the sky like charcoal, and white snow drifted out of them.

On the top of a lonely cliff and a broken slope, the five-flower hall surrounded by buildings on all sides was soon covered with light white, and a flock of crows flew over the sky, not daring to stay near this hall, only a ghost vulture that lived in isolation lingered in the sky.

The ghost vulture flew tired, and stopped on the spine of the black five-flower hall, its pupils coldly looking down on the craggy mountain, and beyond the mountain wall covered with coniferous pine, a line of maids in crimson dresses walked slowly, and their hands were cold and sore, carrying lanterns—not paper lanterns on wooden shelves, but the bones of beasts, which were lit with fire, and the hollow eyes of the beast's skull were shining.

Along the way, their bodies were frozen and stiff, the blood in their bodies seemed to be not flowing, and the swings of their arms and legs were all based on their instincts.

When they finally came to the front of the main hall, the towering stone walls on both sides blocked part of the wind, and they breathed a sigh of relief, and were about to walk forward quickly, but when they raised their heads, they saw an old woman standing in the door with a cane, looking at them without saying a word.

The maids' hearts that had just fallen were lifted again, and they hurriedly blessed themselves and saluted the old witch in the twilight.

"How's the festival going?"

The old witch opened her mouth, her staff swayed, and the wooden signs hanging on it collided with each other with a crisp sound.

The maids stumbled for a while to show that everything was going well, then praised the old witch a few words, and finally wished her a long and blessed life before they were able to enter the house to keep warm.

At the door of the house is a wooden sign that reads "Snake Tomb".

In the main hall, a delicate girl walked out and came to the old witch's side, she looked at the direction in which the maids had disappeared, and said contemptuously: "A group of village girls who can't speak clearly...... Alas, it is annoying to live in the same house with them, and it is not good to do things, and it is noisier than a crow to speak in private. ”

The old witch did not speak, but stepped on the broken stone floor, and she came to the edge of the cliff, and looked at the bottom of the high cliff where the snow fell, and did not say a word.

The girl also followed her and looked down, although she couldn't see clearly, but she knew that there was a small cold pool under the mountain, the cold pool was not big, the color was like jade, but it was bottomless, and it was said that there was a two-headed python living there, according to records, this lonely temple in the mountain that had long been uninhabited because of the haunting was originally built for the two-headed python in the cold pool, it was like the hilt of a giant sword, and the cliff as the sword body nailed the monster firmly here.

Of course, all this is a legend in the village below, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

The old witch was convinced of this legend, and she took her disciples to this barren mountain and mountain with a harsh environment, and has settled here for half a year.

"That legend can't be false, there are often children playing in the water by the water, there are women pounding clothes, and nothing has ever happened, not to mention that so many sacrificial bait have been used in the past six months, and I haven't even seen a live fish...... Master, you can't go wrong with divination, right? The girl said with a bitter face.

The girl's name is Cheng Rong, she was born well, quarreled with her mother, rebelled and left home, I thought that ten days and a half later, I saw the family posted a search notice on the street and went home, I never thought that she was wandering outside for a month, not only did she not see the family looking for herself, but also accidentally learned that the father accepted the news of a new concubine.

She was very angry, and after a month, the money was spent excessively because of her profligacy, and she was embarrassed to go home like this, and when she was hesitating, a phase master found her and asked her if she had been having a nightmare recently, and the phase master also accurately described the scene of the dream - a ghost sedan chair floated past a mound full of grass and ashes, the curtain was lifted by thin hands, and the white bone bride under the red hijab stared at her faintly.

She was frightened, felt that she had met a master, and hurriedly asked the reason.

The physiognomist said that she was stained with evil spirits, and it would not be long before the white bone bride would take her away, and she would become a skull on a sedan chair and be carried to the underworld by the imps.

She was completely frightened, this is a big deal, she immediately took out all the money on her body, asked the phase master if it was enough, the phase master excused herself, saying that this is not something that money can solve, he has the ability to see through the evil, but he has no ability to drive away the evil.

When Cheng Rong was at a loss, he begged him to think of a way, and the phase master hesitated and said that he was willing to take her to meet a master, but he needed to pay the price. Cheng Rong hurriedly inquired about the price, and the master told her that the master still lacked a disciple.

Where is this price, this is clearly a blessing, she almost did not hesitate, and agreed.

This master is the old woman in front of him, the old woman is an old witch who has lived for more than a hundred years, and her magic power is unfathomable.

But the old woman didn't teach her any practical skills, and the only good thing was that nightmares really didn't happen often.

She looked at the old woman, waiting for her to answer.

The old woman shook the staff in her hand, and the pieces of wood hanging on it kept rattling.

"I have divined more than 1,300 times, and I can't be wrong...... The double-headed python, the red-toothed demon lizard, and the six-clawed snow-scaled snake are all demons that have stolen divinity recorded in the black scroll, and only by obtaining them can we complete the ultimate revelation in the black scroll. ”

The old woman stretched out her fingers with long wrinkled fingers on the tips of her nails, lowered them to the pool below, and continued: "The python recorded in the black scroll is sleeping here, and there is no unawakened sleep in the world, as long as there is a great enough temptation...... I have a hunch that today will be the day it wakes up. ”

"But the previous five sacrifices all failed, and this time the ......" The girl's worried words revealed other strange emotions.

"This time, I sensed the coming of destiny."

The old witch shook her staff and began to chant incantations in a spirited manner, and the girl listened impatiently, but her mind was always thinking about the sacrifice.

- The sacrifice was a young girl about her age.

It all started in a month.

The old witch held five sacrificial meetings in succession, all of which ended in failure, and in the winter, they were discussing whether to leave the poor mountain and water, but a strange thing happened in the village.

It was the night of the end of the fifth sacrifice, and the girl who had died early for the sacrifice was taken out of the coffin, thrown into the cold pool after the spell and formation had taken effect, and sank into the water, only to rise again half an hour later - the demon python does not want such a sacrifice.

For five months, the living sacrifice and the death sacrifice were tried, but they all died without a problem. Desperate, the old witch made an exception and used a forbidden ritual to pray to the heavens.

The prayer really worked.

Just as they were about to call it a day, they unexpectedly found that there was one more person in the coffin that should have been empty, it was a girl about the same age as Cheng Rong, wearing a white dress and a beautiful face.

The girl quietly closed her eyes, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, her posture was soft and elegant, and her waist-length hair was very black, like a deep night. She came out of nowhere, as if she was dead or asleep.

The old witch had never seen such a situation, and she looked at the elegant and beautiful girl in the coffin, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly ordered the craftsman to nail the coffin board to the death, and sealed it with a charm note.

After several days of calculation, the old witch finally came to a bold conclusion that she was the best sacrifice from heaven.

Cheng Rong didn't agree with the master's opinion, she thought that it was something more precious than the two-headed python, and using her as a sacrifice even meant sacrificing the roots.

The only basis for this opinion is the girl's appearance.

She thought she was in a good position, but when she saw the little girl, she was ashamed of herself to the point of violence—she wanted to draw her dagger, and to scratch the face so perfect that everyone who saw it that she could pity it, and then to tear off her clothes, and to cut off her graceful undulating body......

But ideas are just thoughts, and the master regards the girl who fell that day as very important and does not allow anyone to come close.

Cheng Rong prayed that the ritual would be successful, because once it was successful, she would be able to leave this poor country where food was scarce, and at the same time, the girl who was so beautiful that she hated it would also become the belly of the serpent.

The snow was rolling towards the cold pool, and the five-flower hall seemed to be tired of the black lion, and closed its eyes on the top of the mountain, and the mountain road around the pool on the left and right sides was soon covered with snow, and the village below was surrounded by a high earthen wall.

Recently, a lot of birds have come from above the village, and I don't know where they came from, but they can withstand the cold.

Night fell silently.

There was no night and no stars in the snowy night, the door of the Snake Tomb Wooden Hall opened, the old witch walked out, Cheng Rong followed her, followed by several people who came with her, each with their own spells, and then it was convenient to be the maids with lanterns, these maids were all widows in the village, more or less suffering from diseases.

Today's cold pool is covered with a thin layer of ice.

The festival begins.

Many of the villagers habitually came to watch, and after the first five failures, they did not believe that a large snake could be summoned in the pool, but they were still very interested in this wonderful sacrifice.

The old witch drew a pentagram with a stone on the muddy ground in front of the pool, and in the skull lamp, the flame floated up, hovering at the corners of the pentagram, helpless but burning steadily.

Cheng Rong put on a witch costume and danced a sacrificial dance in the flames.

There was a makeshift wooden pavilion by the water, and the pitch-black coffin was placed smoothly in the pavilion, and next to it were two maidens who were used for living sacrifices, and the girls were put on a bloated witch suit, and the tears on their pale cheeks were frosted.

Cheng Rong finished the dance, and the old witch's spell was also recited to the end, and the flames shook and rose into the sky.

The two attendants went to pry off the nails at the four corners of the wooden coffin, the coffin board was removed, and the quiet face of the girl in the white dress was clearly visible, she was barely breathing, but her body showed no signs of decay, it seemed that it was just a winter dormancy.

Cheng Rong glanced at her jealously, praying that she would be eaten by the big snake.

Her prayer really took effect, the ice shook and shattered, the water seemed to boil, and the ground became hot, and many of the maids and villagers were frightened and flew away, except for the old witch who showed a feverish look.

The sacrifice has taken effect, and this god-given girl is indeed the best sacrifice!

Cheng Rong had long wanted to see the true face of the big snake, but when it came to a critical moment, she retreated...... The legend of the black scroll was true, and she saw the towering horns emerging from the deep pool.

A ...... No, two giant pythons with larger heads than her just broke through the water and soared, their half-rotten heads adsorbed with blood worms, their open jaws spewing hot air, and the snake's eyes turned, staring at the girl in the coffin, as if looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

The five black-clothed killers who were standing in the formation immediately dispersed, and they held special magic weapons and covered the two-headed python.

Realizing that it had been ambushed, the two-headed python let out a low roar, and also attacked the attacking attacker, the magic weapon and true qi were invincible in the sky above the cold pool, and soon, one of the huge snake heads was cut off by the magic circle, dyeing the pool water red.

Cheng Rong couldn't help but exclaim, it was worthy of the attack that had been prepared for several months, and such a terrible monster had no strength to fight back under the control of the magic circle!

The other head was still resisting, roaring and screaming, and it looked like it was going to die.

Just when Cheng Rong felt that everything was safe, the pool water shook, the previous decline of the giant snake seemed to be disguised, its huge body seemed to have unlocked some seal, breaking free from the pool water, its muscular back rubbed against the stone wall in the water, making a sharp sound, its huge head was raised, like a whip like a hammer, and it easily tore apart the formation they had worked so hard to arrange!

This...... What's going on?

In the face of the sudden change, Mo said that it was Cheng Rong, even the old witch was frightened, how could this monster be so much stronger than imagined......

The giant snake broke free from the cold pool, and the rotten body writhed to see the light of day, the old witch wanted to escape, but the body was quickly entangled, and the old woman, who was usually unfathomable, was instantly strangled by the giant python and squeezed into plasma.

The killers chosen by the five clans looked at each other and scattered, and then they turned into twisted corpses and fell.

The villagers and maids fled in fright, the road was slippery in the snow, they fell to the ground, trampled on each other, and the screams came and went, all of which were suppressed by the throat whistling of the giant head.

Cheng Rong also wanted to escape, but she was so frightened that her knees were weak, and she couldn't move on the road, she wanted to shout for help, but she was afraid of alarming the demon.

What the group didn't know was that the two-headed serpent was not a forked head, but a head at each of the tails, and the head at the tail was a curse issued by the person who sealed it back then, and it divided half of the snake's strength, and marched head in unison, wrapping its entire body around the stone pillar at the bottom of the pool, so that it could not leave the pool.

Now that one of the serpents had been cut off, and there was no longer the power to restrain it, it broke free from its body wrapped around the stone pillar, and finally left the cold pool where it had been imprisoned for many years.

Cheng Rong looked at it in fear, the giant snake's jaw twisted, and hot air spewed out of it, but it didn't look at the frightened paralyzed girl at all, but stared at the pitch-black coffin, as if thinking about the most difficult puzzle in the world.

The serpent was rotten and ugly, with many nail-like scales of blood worms on its sides, its neck humped out, and its mandible, where cartilage and ligaments knew.

Cheng Rong looked at this unforgettable scene - the collapsing lamp ignited the wooden pavilion, illuminating the forehead scales of the ugly giant snake, the girl in the coffin did not die, she was awakened, she got up like a puppet, looked at the fire burning around her, looked at the snake that opened its huge mouth close at hand, and looked blankly.

At the moment of life and death, the girl in Cheng Rong's eyes was more beautiful, and it was unreal, so this nightmarish scene seemed to be an ancient painting that had been passed down for thousands of years.

Cheng Rong's fear miraculously dissipated, and she couldn't wait to see this girl being torn apart and swallowed by the ugly giant snake, and watching this most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life be destroyed!

The serpent lived up to her expectations, its skull shrunk and ejected like an arrow, swallowing it in one gulp.

Cheng Rong was so excited that he almost screamed!

But soon, she froze.

The coffin was obviously crushed by the giant snake, but the girl in it disappeared strangely, Cheng Rong's eyes searched up and down quickly, and then she saw a girl in a white dress standing on the forehead scales of this python, the girl's body was extremely stable, and the snake's head did not fall off even if it swayed, she lowered her head, revealing a puzzled look, and then cleanly inserted the sword down and cut it upward.

At the same time, lines of white light lit up at the same time, and they started from the mouth of the snake, slashed across the body, and swept along the scales and muscle textures without any barrier, and everything was cut open where the sword light passed!

The serpent's dying scream was as terrible as a knife cutting through its eardrums, and then, its exposed body exploded along the lines of the sword's light, writhed and smashed to the shore, and died a tragic death, its broken body like a plate of well-cut eel.

The young girl landed lightly, she looked at the dark blade in her hand, frowned, she shook off the blood on the sword, put the sword back into its sheath, and looked at the village shrouded in snowy night, her figure colder than the wind and snow.

Mu Shijing looked around, and finally walked towards Cheng Rong, Cheng Rong's heart was tense and his body was cold.

But to her surprise, this cold girl who swung her sword to slash the giant snake spoke as gentle as the wind.

"Where is this?" She asked softly, as if she were just an ordinary lost person.

Cheng Rong swallowed his saliva, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and muttered, "This is ...... Three Realms Mountain, Tibetan Snake Village......"

Mu Shijing nodded lightly.

She looked at the snow rolling in the sky and muttered, "This is the ...... My hometown? ”

Hometown?

Cheng Rong was puzzled, thinking that she was the village girl in the village? It doesn't look like it...... Or is she a youkai in the mountains?

The blank emotion in Mu Shijing's eyes dissipated.

In the coffin, she had a long dream, in which she vaguely remembered something...... She remembered that she was a member of this world, and that she had practiced and lived in a courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, she went to a white sea, which was said to be the corpse of a demon god who had been cut into three pieces - the demon god happened to break through the barrier of the other world before dying, and its head was pierced in the outside world, so its body also happened to be one of the passages connecting the two worlds.

The only fly in the ointment is that the demon god seems to be the demon god of time and space.

It took her months to cross the white sea, but from the outside world, it was nearly a thousand years apart......

Millennium.

Mu Shijing had a slight insight into his life experience, but the mystery shrouded in his heart was even heavier.

The girl in the white dress stood in the snow, looked at the stone tablet with the word "Tibetan snake" in the book, and said, "In the future, this place can be called Tibetan Village." ”

Cheng Rong was stunned for a long time before realizing that she was joking, and hurriedly squeezed out an insincere smile.

Mu Shijing raised his head, looked at the pitch-black five-flower hall on the hillside, and asked, "Are you a demon sect?" ”

"No, it's not......" Cheng Rong immediately vetoed.

"And what are you doing?"

Mu Shijing walked towards the wooden pavilion, the wooden pavilion had been burned by flames, emitting black smoke, the broken body of the big snake, pus flowed out, and the white snow fell on it and quickly became dirty.

"We ...... We are having a ceremony to resurrect you! Cheng Rong was in a hurry and said.

"Really?" Mu Shijing said lightly.

She seemed to be oblivious to the filth of the ground, and leaned down and gathered up a pair of little girls, who had been used by the old witch to assist in the living sacrifice, one of whom had unfortunately been stoned to death by a plank in the previous scuffle, and the other was still breathing, unconscious. Mu Shijing shook his head and sighed lightly.

"With a maiden sacrifice, lead the giant serpent down the pool, you ...... Not a demon gate? Mu Shijing looked at her, her beautiful eyes with interrogation.

Cheng Rong's face turned pale with fright, she knelt on the ground, poured beans into a bamboo tube and told her the ins and outs, and then began to cry how she was deceived by the physiognomy and abducted to this poor land of mountains and bad waters, hoping that this fairy could save her from Yunyun.

Mu Shijing listened for a while and roughly understood what happened.

"yes, I see." Mu Shijing said softly.

She carried the little girl and walked towards the hall above, and after settling the little girl, she asked Cheng Rong for a new outfit.

When she came out again, the girl with a prominent figure had changed into a dark black dress, with a skirt and a skirt, except for a little cyan at the piping, there was no pattern, although the fabric was simple, but it could not hide the dignified and elegant temperament, and her skin was lined with tender silk. She seems to have come out of an ancient painting.

Cheng Rong was stupid, she had gone to the royal banquet with her father, and had seen the legendary princess who was as beautiful as a flower, and she hated her beauty for a long time, but the princess she saw in the past was still not comparable to the girl in front of her......

The beautiful maiden looked at her calmly and said:

"Since you have been abducted by them, I do not blame you. Rest for two days, cut out the serpent's heart, and let us go back. ”

"Go back?" Cheng Rong asked in surprise, "Where are you going...... Although I don't know about this sister, according to my observation for half a year, it seems that we really ...... Demon Gate. ”

"Then go to the Demon Gate." Mu Shijing said.
