Chapter 3 The cowardly snake demon asked

Night falls...

The crescent moon is like a silver boat moored among the branches, and the fireflies in the grass are scattered and flying, like a little clear light sprinkled by the moonlight...

The cicadas in the forest were singing endlessly, occasionally intertwined with a few unpleasant sounds of birds and beasts, until a terrible wolf howl sounded from afar, and Xu Boqing, who was covered in mud and looked like a beggar, woke up smartly...

Broken!

Only then did he remember that this world was not as stable as in his previous life, daring to dig a pit in the cemetery, and it could be said that he was bold and materialistic and not afraid of those vain bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods;

But this beast in the forest only knows whether it can fill its stomach, but it doesn't talk about materialism and idealism, no matter how bold they are, they will have more things.

I thought that it would be the family members of the original body, and they would have to be buried well, so as not to be dragged out by the wild beasts in the forest and spoil the corpse, but now ......

Xu Boqing looked at the soil pit he had dug out, it was wide and close to a zhang, and the depth could bury most of the standing people.

It's pretty much it...

He hurriedly carried several corpses to the earth pit, prayed and buried them in the earth, and in a short time a newly filled grave was erected.

"Our hometown pays attention to entering the earth for peace, I hope you can also rest in peace, if there is a chance in the future, I will raise the ashes of those thieves to avenge you."

Xu Boqing bowed in front of the grave, and after the idea was understood, he untied the old donkey tied to the distance, thought about it, and unloaded the car cover tied to it.

Now there is only one person left, and the flat cart dragged by the old donkey has no effect except for affecting the foot, so it naturally has to be unloaded.

"It is said that the old horse knows the way, I hope the old donkey can also know the way out..."

After Xu Boqing finished speaking, he stepped onto the old donkey's back, folded a branch to make the donkey whip, and gently slapped the old donkey's buttocks, and the old donkey walked out with its hooves.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the brilliance is like washing...

Xu Boqing didn't know the road, and there was no introduction to this place in his memory, only that this place belonged to Hongyang County.

And the old animals have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, so they simply handed over the task of leading the way to the old donkey...

Just don't go through the gutter......

The old donkey strolled on the forest path, and the young man who carried it had turned around and half-snuggled on the donkey's back, except for the small branch in his hand that occasionally swept the donkey's buttocks, and spent the rest of the time looking up at the moon.

He was also thinking about the next step.

Xu Boqing's mother in this world died early, his father was in the bandit's den, and he had already gone, and the accompanying family servants were all dead, and the only relatives were the second uncle Xu and his family who settled in Kyoto...

The second uncle's family in the memory of the original owner is very good to 'himself', he often goes back to his hometown to visit relatives, and 'himself' often goes to the capital with his father to visit, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water does not seem to be fake.

Although his cousin Xu Da is a few months younger than himself, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body is strong, and he is also a tiger's back, so that he was often bullied by his cousin when he was ignorant.

But as long as he was seen and heard by the second uncle, his cousin Xu Da had to be beaten...

When he grew up and talked about these things, the original owner was always red-faced, and his cousin laughed.

I am now alone, and I brought a lot of money with me, but I was looted by thieves, and now I have no place to live, no money, and no talent...

It can be said that it is difficult to eat enough.

Hongyang County is less than 100 miles away from Kyoto, and as long as you find the prescribed spot, you can walk there in two days at most.

I have to go to Beijing to join my second uncle as originally planned, and I have to stand firm first!!

Just as Xu Boqing was thinking about how to go ahead, he didn't notice that a pair of vertical eyes were staring at him faintly in the jungle in the distance......

A giant serpent as long as a bucket of water lurked in the jungle, its dark scales rising and closing as it breathed, or slowly wriggling.

The muscles under the scales slowly exert force, pulling the snake's body to wind forward, and the sound of gargling from the friction of the scales is faintly heard in the shadow of the cicada's chirping.

It kept following the old donkey as far as it could see.

It has been more than 100 years since it opened its spiritual wisdom, and it has been practicing cautiously in its early years, and has never set foot in the mortal world.

However, the bloodline of the demon body is thin, and the inheritance in the bloodline has long been digested, and now the cultivation is not only not allowed to advance, but there is a faint tendency to decline...

In recent years, it has also become more and more agitated.

Forced to be helpless, it can only shift its gaze to mortals, in the deep mountains and old forests, using blinding techniques to charm mortals who have strayed in, so as to suck their essence and strengthen itself...

It once spent a lot of money to ask its friends who were proficient in divination to calculate their fortunes, and after getting the answer, they hibernated all over the place.

That's a few years...

Just today, it sensed that a group of dead people had fallen on the cemetery, it was a yin snake, extremely sensitive to life and death, and would never be wrong!!

But among the ordinary corpses, one of them was as vigorous as the scorching sun.

This scared it a lot, and I thought that some of the righteous masters who passed by found their heels and came to collect demons...

It was not very brave and immediately fled...

Later, I realized that the 'master' did not chase after the demon, and he didn't even show the slightest breath.

Then he thought of the purpose of his dormant here, and his heart was crossed, and he swam back with courage......

It was also unexpectedly found that the person who had come back from the dead was digging a pit to bury his body, so he kept watching from a distance.

In my mind, I searched for information in the bloodline inheritance based on the vision keywords such as 'resurrection from the dead' and 'vigorous vitality like the scorching sun'.

Although I didn't find the same...

But it found something similar!!

It is rumored that when the immortal master is reincarnated and rebuilt, there may be a vision of resurrecting the soul by borrowing the corpse!!

Although it has been practicing for a long time, it has never been very bold, and when it realizes that it is very likely to be in front of a master, it is surprised and delighted, and it is a mixture of fear and joy.

Glad is that the old turtle's fortune telling has come true!

The panic is that the other party is an immortal master, and he is a snake demon, and the racial prejudice in the cultivation world is deep-rooted, and if he shows up to seek the Tao, he is likely to be disgusted by the master...

Maybe I'll be beheaded...

How can this be good!?

After hesitating and struggling, it approached little by little, wanting to try the master's attitude towards the demon clan, but what surprised it was that the master didn't seem to feel it, and didn't care at all.

Maybe someone knows that he is deliberately testing me?

But what if it's a trap?

Since it opened its spiritual intelligence, it has never been so entangled as it is today, as if there are two paths waiting to be chosen in front of it...

One reads 'Immortals Guide the Way' and 'Enlightenment Opportunity';

One that reads 'Bold Demon' and 'Little Life Lost'...

The probability of both is mixed.

When he saw the master riding a donkey upside down and preparing to leave, his heart was entangled like an ant roasting on a fire, wanting to block the way with a blinding technique, but he was afraid that he would annoy the master.

How can this be good!?

At this time, Xu Boqing also thought about how to go in the future, and after a long sigh of relief, he stretched out his hand to cushion the back of his head, and then looked at the sky, Yuehua seemed to be more feminine...

Thinking of the past and present lives, I can't help but sigh: "Although I didn't close myself in the old days, I went to Kyoto to spend late spring. A tree of cicadas chirps a stream of moon, I don't know who it belongs to tonight? ”

Soon after the words fell...

There was a gargling sound of scales rubbing against each other in the forest, and a female voice with a trembling voice: "Little... The little demon has always been timid, and he didn't mean to hide his traces, and he hoped that the immortal chief would not be annoyed......"

“?????”
