The little white snake looked at the empty desk, and she suddenly had a whimsical thought: "Is it because of the sword and the gemstone necklace?" These two things have been lost for so long, and they have never been found. Could it be that the master always feels unhappy when he looks at this empty incense case every day? Maybe these two things are very important, and the master is anxious about this matter, is it because the master wants to get them back?"

The little white snake seemed to understand something, probably because the master felt a little unsteady because the master was stolen from those two treasures, so he was anxious every day. After all, those two treasures have been offered on the incense table and have accompanied the master for many years.

Ever since the things were lost, the master hermit had been anxious every day, and often couldn't help but look at the portraits and sigh, and the little white snake wondered that maybe the master would go down the mountain to look for them one day.

The little white snake was up and down in his heart, guessing why the master was depressed every day, maybe it was because of this reason.

But what should she do after the master is gone? Does she want to be alone in the cave? The little white snake could not help but feel a little uneasy, and his heart was extremely anxious.

The little white snake pondered: "If the master goes down the mountain to find the treasure and leaves me alone in this cave, then there is nothing I can do." When the time comes, I can just do whatever I want, if only the master could take me along, but I am a little white snake, and it is very inconvenient for the master to take me every day.

If you let others see the master with a white snake next to him, I don't know what will happen. After all, many people are afraid of snakes, and it is also a trouble for the master to take me. If you really left me in the cave, then I would just stay here and cultivate. When the time comes, I'll go talk to Brother Frog in my free time. ”

The little white snake is actually very afraid of loneliness, and without a master by his side, this cave looks lifeless. In the future, if you stay here, maybe no one will talk to her, roast hares and pheasants for her. At that time, she may have to eat raw food for a long time. You can only eat some small fish and shrimp every day to fill your stomach, otherwise you can only eat some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger.

When the little white snake thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little lonely, she didn't want the master to leave the cave and leave this place to find those lost treasures.

Even if he went to look for it, where would the master go to find it? The world is so big, who knows where those things are getting by the enemy.

The Xuanji hermit is often pinching his fingers and calculating something, and the little white snake still doesn't understand what the master is calculating, but on the surface, he is repeatedly pinching something important.

The Xuanji hermit also taught the little white snake the methods of divination, but the little white snake had no fingers, so he could only keep these methods in mind and imitate the situation of fortune-telling in his mind.

On the surface, it seems that the little white snake is just learning to swallow dates, but the little white snake is a spirit snake after all, and his brain is still much brighter than that of ordinary people. Although she has no hands or feet, she has a good memory, high comprehension, and almost never forgets, and she has practiced many things in her mind countless times. If one day she grows hands and feet, maybe she will be familiar with those tricks once she uses them.

The little white snake waited in the dark, she estimated that the hermit master would have a plan for a long trip soon, and as for what she should do, it was not yet possible to guess what she would do. Maybe she will also encounter an opportunity in the future, as for what little white snake is still unclear.

Whether there will be a chance by chance, or a fate choice that she will face, the little white snake is waiting in anxiety. For what is going to come will come sooner or later, and what will not come will never come.

Let's just say that the time to come will come to the door one day.

One day, the hermit seemed to have received a revelation from heaven. Originally, he sat quietly in Fuxi and painted the ancestors

Like the former hermit who was meditating, he suddenly seemed to have received instructions from the heavens, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up suddenly, and said to himself: "When the time comes, I knew that there would be such a day, this is fate, fate is destined to have this catastrophe." However, this time is both an opportunity and a disaster, and it is destined to be a blessing and a curse. Alas, what should have come has come. ”

The hermit turned and paced in the cave, and then, as if having made up his mind, grabbed some tools, walked to the entrance of the cave and continued to repair the turntable-shaped combination lock.

Because after the last time this combination lock was cracked by the wizard, the Xuanji hermit began to feel a little anxious, so he thought about it for a long time and slowly came up with a better improvement plan, and then he made a design modification of this combination lock.

After the transformation of the combination lock, there are more horizontal and vertical chutes on the lock plate, which run between the numbers on the lock plate. Each number, made up of dots, is replaced with small metal knobs that can be slid between the grooves.

The hermit spent a long time testing the combination lock over and over again. He fiddled with these small round buttons engraved with numbers on the turntable to test how effective the improvements were. In the end, he decided on a more difficult way to open.

As a result, if others don't know how to unlock it, it will be difficult to open the stone door. As for what kind of complex password the hermit finally decided to use, it may be unlikely that anyone else would want to crack it.

When the Xuanji hermit completed the final transformation, he wiped a handful of sweat. Then he called the little white snake to him: "Yuxi, I changed the password combination to open the door, it is a more complicated way to open." I'll show it to you now, and you can keep it in mind in the future, don't tell anyone, don't say it to anyone, okay, promise me, Yuxi. ”

The little white snake's eyes flashed with aura, and he promised the Xuanji hermit in a categorical tone: "I understand, master, I will never say it." ”

So the hermit continued, "Wait until one day, when you need to open this stone door, and then recall this password combination." When the time comes, you open the stone door like this, and you look at it carefully, carefully look at my gestures and methods, and then keep it in mind. ”

Then the Xuanji hermit turned the lock disc a few times counterclockwise, and the stone door slowly lowered. Then the hermit reached out and slid the circular button on the lock plate three times and twice, and then turned the dial a few more times, and the stone door slowly opened with a muffled thud.

The Xuanji hermit raised his eyebrows, looked at the little white snake and asked, "Yuxi, have you seen clearly, I'll show it to you a few more times later, you must remember it well." ”

The little white snake opened her eyes wide, looked at the master's gestures seriously, and memorized the position of each knob slide, which she kept in her mind and engraved in her heart.

After the Xuanji hermit demonstrated a few times, he cautiously asked the little white snake: "Yuxi, have you remembered everything?"
