It's dusk on the way home.

The sunset is all over the sky, layer upon layer.

Passing by a sunny hillside, there is a small waterhole under the hillside, and there is a deer playing in the water.

Seeing this, the green snake also wanted to swim in the water.

Lin Yu stopped, saw the deer playing in the water, suddenly became interested, smiled, and said: "The deer has horns and lives alone, it must be a stag, but there is a mount for travel." ”

Lin Yu walked to the waterhole, beckoned, and Hualu consciously ran over.

Reaching into his arms, he groped for a long time, and found a small white porcelain bottle, and poured out a brown pill.

"Come, do you want to eat?"

Hualu sniffed lightly, as if attracted by a certain taste, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

Lin Yu shook the porcelain vase in his hand and said temptingly: "Also, it's all for you." ”

Hua Lu rubbed Lin Yu with his cheek quite spiritually.

"In the future, will you follow me?"

Lin Yu asked expectantly.

Hualu made a yo yo deer chirp, and it seemed that he agreed.

"Let's go!"

Lin Yu threw the things in his hand on the back of Hualu and paced leisurely, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Ahh

The green snake looked at the dazzle deer, and thought of itself again.

"Doesn't it say that women love their pets the most? Like those women in their previous lives, they hugged little Teddy all day long, and shouted heartbrokenly, 'Son, I miss my mother~!' 'How...... Just because I'm not a dog, the treatment is not as good as this deer, and I haven't even given an elixir! ”

Thinking of this, the green snake wanted to cry without tears, and rubbed the green hills on both sides of her bank with the snake's head.

It's comfortable~!

……

In the blink of an eye, late autumn has arrived.

The 100,000 mountains are covered with a deep twilight, and the forests are dyed, and the mountains are red all over.

After the green snake was adopted, some things changed, and some things didn't.

No matter how much it changes, things are getting better.

Thankfully, the morning class was carried out as usual every day, which was also the time for the green snake to practice every day, and the thunder could not move. There is a good saying that if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate trickles, you can't become rivers and seas, and such a day is not only 'cultivating the truth', but also cultivating the mind.

Every night, you can still see the starlight of the bamboo cottage.

After the morning class, the green snake woke up from that magical state, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, sick, and a sense of powerlessness, the snake's body was tense, and the snake scales were dull.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I wrapped it around the laurel tree and began to scratch the epidermis.

The scales on the surface of the snake's body are derivatives of the epidermis, commonly known as scales, which are different from fish. The scales of snakes grow together with the body, that is, they are joined together. It is used to protect the internal organs and prevent excessive evaporation of water in the body.

The molting process is quite interesting, usually starting from the upper and lower lips, and then the skin of the head is loosened, at this time, like people taking off their stockings, the skin that has fallen off the head is turned outward, with the help of rough ground or rock crevices, or the mouth of a branch, slowly falling off from the head to the torso, and finally from the end of the tail to shed the whole old skin.

If the whole process goes well, it only takes a few minutes, and some even a minute.

Lin Yu had nothing to do, made a cup of wild camellia that she picked and fried by herself in late spring, sat on the desk in front of the windowsill, lit sandalwood, and looked at a miscellaneous book in the morning sun.

Hualu lay on the ground and dug a pit by himself to sleep.

The green snake secretly completed the molt, and its body grew to a length of more than 2 meters. But his mind was full of question marks, and he felt less and less like a snake.

Molting is an inherent property of snakes in the course of life, and even if the individual does not grow, as long as the metabolism is still going on, molting will occur. Generally speaking, before molting, the snake is inactive, and there are obvious changes in the eyes 6-11 days before molting, the cornea is smoky blue, temporarily blind, and the body color is dull. After 3-5 days, the eyes regain their sight, and after another 3-6 days, they begin to molt.

This time the molt, the above characteristics, or the molting process, he did not meet any of them.

In other words, in terms of the above process, there was no appearance at all during this molting process.

The melancholy in the heart of the green snake can be imagined, he remembers that it was obviously not like this before, what happened.

However, the thought that he himself has a certain sense of supernatural is gradually relieved.

It was this molt that made him have some kind of guess, feeling that he was evolving in the direction of the demon beast.

Logically speaking, there are generally two steps for ordinary beasts to embark on the path of cultivation.

Convenient evolution from ordinary beasts to fierce beasts: mainly manifested in the growth of body size and the enlightenment of intelligence.

Fierce beasts evolve in the direction of demon beasts: it is mainly manifested internally, for example, some beasts can rarely appear with natural supernatural powers, and secondly, they can absorb spiritual energy to cultivate.

Of course, strictly speaking, there is a third step, which is to survive the transformation and thunder tribulation and become a real monster.

Yes, the demon beast still has to survive the thunder tribulation before it can transform into a shape, which is an extra threshold compared to humans.

Of course, compared with humans, demon beasts also have one more stage, that is, the qi acceptance period.

If the initial stage of human cultivation is the Qi cultivation period, then the initial stage of demon beasts is the Qi absorption period when the beast is fierce.

However, the green snake felt that he should still be in the second step of evolution, from a fierce beast to a demon beast.

Why......

After the molting was completed this time, the green snake suddenly felt that it could practice on its own.

Note that the independent cultivation here is about exhaling spiritual energy for cultivation, not the mysterious state that accompanied Lin Yu when he read it in his early days.

At this time, although there is sunshine, there are still faint clouds and mist in the courtyard, and the green snake thinks it can be tried.

The green snake began to try to swallow the clouds and spit out the mist.

Exhale, breathe.

The clouds swept through the serpent's body.

The morning sun is born, and the spring breeze is blowing.

At this time, it was still the time when the aura between heaven and earth was the most refined, and after a while, the sun began to emit amazing heat, dispersing the clouds and mist between heaven and earth, it was not.

Purple Qi rises in the east, and the aura and the sun and the moon. The essence coexists between heaven, earth and landscape.

The aura entered the body, and the green snake felt that there was a faint aura rippling in his body, different from the mysterious state that he followed Lin Yu into in the morning, he obviously felt that after the clouds and mist were washed in his body, the faint air flow was slightly enhanced, although it was not too obvious, and his conscious strength had been enhanced to a certain extent.

The fog cleared and the sun shone brightly.

Lin Yu put down the book in his hand, looked at the green snake thoughtfully, then got up and rummaged through the bookshelf behind him, and muttered, "Huh? Where are you putting it...... I clearly remember that the "Green Jade Clothes" that is an introduction to feng shui is placed on the third layer? ”

"Ahem~!"

Lin Yu waved her hand, dispersed the dust, rummaged for a long time, and finally found the "Qingyu Yi" in a dusty corner, she thought about it, and threw it on the desk by the windowsill.

Evening.

Lin Yu held the flower deer in one hand, the hoe in the other, and the green snake wrapped around her neck and walked towards the field.

Weeding, watering.

The flower deer stepped on the sunset and stepped on the grass.
