The green snake's pair of snake eyes reflected Zhang Xu's figure, spitting out snake letters, and slowly crawled towards Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu's expression was calm, and as he continued to absorb Yuan Qi, the small courtyard that was originally rich in Yuan Qi formed a vortex of Yuan Qi around him.

The green snake not far away also felt this scene, and its crawling body was even faster.

"Huh?"

Zhang Xu, who had entered the state of cultivation, greatly improved his sense of the Yuan Qi around his body, and felt that a creature was approaching, so he instantly got up and took out a demon slaying talisman from his arms.

"What a youkai!"

Zhang Xu stared at the location of the green snake and shouted loudly.

The green snake, who was greedily absorbing Yuan Qi, was suddenly frightened by this explosion, and his whole body suddenly stiffened, like a doll, motionless.

A person and a snake looked at each other for two seconds, and the green snake suddenly screamed, turned around and wanted to escape.

"Hey, I want to escape."

The corners of his mouth flicked, and the demon slaying talisman in his hand shook lightly and landed in front of the green snake.

The Demon Slaying Talisman instantly burst out with a burst of fire, although it did not directly hit the green snake, but the aftermath of the Demon Slaying Talisman directly lifted it away and landed in front of Zhang Xu.

"Dao Ye spares his life, Dao Ye spares his life."

Just when Zhang Xu was about to subdue the green snake, the green snake actually spoke human words.

"Hey, he's still a monster who can speak human words."

Zhang Xu looked at the green snake with a look of surprise, picked up the dust from the stone table, shook it twice, and said, "You monster, you actually threw yourself into the net, who gave you such courage?" ”

"Dao Master, I have no bad intentions, I have been here for two years in this courtyard, and I will practice here every night." Green Snake explained.

Zhang Xu smiled and said, "So, did I disturb your cultivation?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Green Snake hurriedly shook his head and said, "This courtyard has been uninhabited for several years, although someone comes to clean it regularly, but at other times, there are almost no people, but the Yuan Qi in this courtyard is very sufficient, very suitable for cultivation, since I found this place two years ago, I have come here at night to absorb Yuan Qi and Yuehua, Dao Chief, please rest assured, I have never harmed anyone, really." ”

Zhang Xu pinched his chin and thought about how to deal with this little snake demon.

Whether a monster eats people or not, in fact, it is easy to judge, a monster that eats people, the demonic energy on its body is turbid, and there is no human-eating monster, the demonic energy is Qingqi.

Ordinary people can't see it, but Zhang Xu, as a cultivator, can see it very clearly.

This little snake demon is no more than three feet long, his whole body is as green as a leaf, and his snake eyes are extremely red, looking extremely demonic.

Looking at the demonic aura on his body, it is indeed a clear breath, which is completely different from the tiger demon and wolf demon he saw before.

The green snake quietly observed Zhang Xu, and was extremely apprehensive in his heart, although it had some Taoism, but it was only through spiritual sense, and it would know one or two extremely simple ways to obstruct it.

If it is really about combat effectiveness, even an ordinary farmer can beat him to death with a shovel.

"Dao Master, you just came to this courtyard, I don't want to know the special here, as long as there is a bright moon night in this courtyard, its moonlight will merge with Yuan Qi, which is of great benefit to cultivators, especially on the night of the full moon, the effect is the best." The green snake spoke.

Zhang Xu raised his eyebrows, obviously a little moved, he thought about it, and said loudly: "Little snake demon, I see that you don't have the intention of harming people, so I will spare your life for the time being, but if you dare to harm people in the future, don't blame the demon slaying talisman in the hand of Poor Dao!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xu had another demon slaying talisman in his hand.

Seeing the demon slaying talisman, the green snake's whole body trembled, and it hurriedly replied: "The little one doesn't dare, the little one has never had any harmful intentions, if the Taoist master doesn't believe it, the little one swears to the sky!" ”

As he spoke, the snake demon immediately looked up at the sky and swore that if he harmed others, he would not die well.

As soon as the oath came out, the qi around the snake demon underwent subtle changes.

This change even affected the circulation of Yuan Qi.

Other cultivators may not be able to feel it, but Zhang Xu, who has the power of convincing qi of the Nine Breaths, can sense it very clearly.

"It seems that the Heavenly Dao of this world is not simple, it seems that you can't swear casually in the future." Zhang Xu said secretly in his heart.

Since the green snake made such an oath, Zhang Xu no longer embarrassed it, just waved his hand and said, "Well, you can leave." ”

The green snake first breathed a sigh of relief, and then begged: "Dao Master, please let the little one practice here, as long as you agree, the little one is willing to be a cow and a horse for you." ”

Saying this, the green snake learned from humans and kowtowed to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu frowned, and he was about to refuse.

The green snake immediately said: "Dao Ye, I will also look for all kinds of elixirs, there are many elixirs in Qingwu Mountain, as long as Dao Ye you are willing to take in the small ones, I am willing to help Dao Ye you find elixirs." ”

Zhang Xu listened to the words of the green snake, and suddenly felt a little funny, this little snake demon really did everything for Yuan Qi.

However, if the green snake really could look for the elixir, he could keep it, and for cultivators, the elixir was also one of the important means to improve his strength.

"You can stay here, but when I practice, you can't step within three feet of me." Zhang Xu said in a deep voice.

The green snake was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately nodded and said, "Dao Ye, what you say is what you say." ”

Next, the courtyard fell silent again.

One person and one snake are in the pavilion, and the other is in the grass at the courtyard wall, all absorbing the surrounding Yuan Qi.

As the night deepened, there were insect chirpings all around, and fireflies fluttering among the grass before landing on the head of the green snake.

The green snake is like a statue, motionless.

In the pavilion, the mana in Zhang Xu's body had been running for a little week, and this speed was nearly twice as fast as before.

And as the half-moon appeared in the sky, in the small courtyard, the moonlight seemed to be brighter.

The moonlight fell in the small courtyard, enveloping the entire courtyard, and the hazy silver light seemed to have some kind of magical power, making the surrounding Yuan Qi active.

For a while, translucent silver air currents appeared in the courtyard, either rolling or drifting.

Zhang Xu, who was practicing, was shocked by the whole person's spirit after coming into contact with this air current.

"Huh! This feeling seems to be able to affect the divine consciousness. ”

After absorbing the silver air flow, Zhang Xu found that this air flow was not only extremely compatible with his own mana, but even his divine sense fluctuated a little.

"No wonder this snake demon has not been cultivating for a long time, it can open up the spiritual wisdom, this airflow combined with the moonlight and Yuan Qi can not only enhance the mana, but also have the effect of improving the divine sense, which can be described as a priceless treasure for cultivators."

A touch of joy appeared on Zhang Xu's face, he didn't expect that he just wanted to buy a small courtyard to practice, and he would get such an unexpected joy.

This half-moon night has such an effect, and what kind of pomp should the night of the full moon be?

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhang Xu began to enter a state of deep cultivation.

The night was calm, and this practice continued until the early morning.

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhang Xu let out a long breath, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Overnight, he actually used the mana in his body for fifteen hours.

At this rate, I am afraid that in half a month, he will be able to get through all the veins of Xiao Zhoutian and complete the consummation of Xiao Zhoutian.

On the other side, the green snake also ended his practice.

It came to Zhang Xu and said in a flattering tone: "Dao Ye, I found two Blood Lingzhi a few days ago, but there is a tiger demon guarding it, if Dao Ye is interested, the small one is willing to lead the way." ”

"Blood Lingzhi!"

Hearing these three words, Zhang Xudu set his eyes on the green snake.
