Chapter 158: The Beauty Snake
Shen Luo had never seen Granny Ma look like this, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
"Granny Ma, do you know this monster?" Yingluo asked when she saw Granny Ma's expression at the moment, and was inexplicably flustered in her heart.
"Of course I know, the big battle that led to the destruction of my cultivation, how could I forget that this was the hair of that beautiful snake!" Granny Ma had already restrained her emotions and said in a cold voice.
"Beauty snake?" Yingluo seemed to think of something, and her pretty face changed.
The few older people around them also looked different, but most of them were still at a loss.
"Several, what kind of monster is the beauty snake in your mouth?" Shen Luo asked.
"This matter started more than twenty years ago, when I was still cultivating, and another Bigu stage monk, and a few juniors in the Qi refining stage guarded the village, although the village was hard, it was still stable. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, a villager went to the stream to fish and somehow provoked a snake demon with a human head and a snake body, and attacked the village, because the head of this demon was a beautiful woman, we called it a beautiful snake. This beauty snake is powerful, I and another Daoist friend in the Bigu period joined forces to fight with it, and finally the old woman's dantian was damaged, the mana was scattered, and another Taoist friend fell and died, but the beautiful snake was also seriously injured and fled, I didn't expect it to come back now. Granny Ma said slowly.
Most of the old people present had personally experienced the events of the year, and when they heard Granny Ma tell the past, they recalled that terrifying memory, and their faces showed a look of fear.
"Didn't the matter of the demon beast attack on the village start a few years ago?" the green cow on the side suddenly asked.
"The demon beasts on the mountain have attacked the village since ancient times, otherwise there would be no need for monks to be stationed in the village, but at that time, such things were very rare, and often did not happen once in more than ten years. Granny Ma said.
Hearing this, Qingniu nodded abruptly and stopped speaking.
"Granny Ma, what exactly were the cultivation practices of you and another Daoist friend in the Bigu period at that time?" Shen Luo looked solemn and asked what he was most concerned about.
"At that time, I had just advanced to the Bigu stage, and another Taoist friend had a deeper cultivation than me, but he had not yet reached the middle stage of Bigu. Granny Ma glanced at Shen Luo and said.
When Shen Luo heard this, his expression relaxed slightly.
Although the beauty snake hit the two of them in the early stage of Bigu back then, it was also hit hard, and its cultivation was at most in the middle of Bigu, even if the injury recovered after so many years, there should be no improvement in cultivation, otherwise it would not have done this sneaky thing.
Although he had only just stepped into the Bigu period, he had opened up a full twenty Dharma veins, and in terms of the strength of his mana and the power of spell casting, he was not inferior to ordinary monks in the middle of the Bigu period.
"The beautiful snake demon is greedy and ferocious, coupled with the previous great hatred, this time I will definitely not give up, and this village is afraid that it will suffer another catastrophe!" said Granny Ma, her face worried.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the courtyard became panicked.
"Now that we have determined what is causing trouble, and we have found its escape route, the top priority is to find a way to save Chen Guanbao back!" Yingluo hurriedly said.
"That snake demon is extremely powerful, and the two Bigu Stage Immortal Masters in the village were not its opponents back then, if you provoke the two immortals to be angry, how can you beat it? Before Shen Luo could speak, a bald old man next to him spoke to stop him.
"Yes, what will the village do if you are in trouble?" said another middle-aged man.
"Even if the monster wants to practice and devour the living, but Chen Guanbao has been taken captive for so long, nine times out of ten he has been poisoned, and it is in vain for the immortal master to chase after him, so let's stay in the village and find a way to resist the next attack of the snake demon." ”
The other villagers also spoke, each with different opinions, and they didn't want the two to take risks.
Shen Luo glanced at the surrounding villagers, lowered his eyes, and did not express his opinion.
Yingluo was originally a little angry when he saw everyone blocking him, but after listening to their words, he hesitated in his heart.
"Granny Ma, you are well-informed, what should I do about this?" she asked Granny Ma, who couldn't pay attention.
Everyone around also looked at Granny Ma.
Ever since Granny Ma explained the origin of the perfect human snake, she has been standing there quietly, just like Shen Luo, bowing her head and not saying anything, and only raised her head when she heard the words.
"What everyone said naturally makes sense, but in my opinion, Chen Guanbao should still be alive by now. Granny Ma said.
"How do you know?" asked one of the villagers, stunned.
"The beautiful snake must be lurking somewhere near the village to heal its wounds, otherwise with its strength, it will definitely be able to destroy the village, and it will not hide like this. From what I know about snake demons, they have a yin constitution, and devouring children on the day of the full moon is the most helpful, and tomorrow is the full moon period. Granny Ma said.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Shen Luo secretly said that his speculation was indeed correct, if the snake demon's injury had not healed, it would be much easier to deal with.
"Yingluo, your strength is too weak, far from being the opponent of the beautiful snake, it's better to stay in the village. Granny Ma looked at Yingluo and said.
"Then what about Chen Guanbao? Since he is still alive, how can we see death without saving him. Yingluo said urgently.
"Shen Daoyou, among us, only your strength can match that snake demon, I wonder if you are willing to rescue Chen Guanbao?"
"Okay, Chen Guanbao was arrested because he brought me food, even if you don't say it, I will go and rescue him back. Shen Luo said in a firm tone.
"Granny Ma, this is not good, Shen Xianshi is also an important combat force in the village now, how can you risk your life, you can't just take care of your own children and ignore the safety of the village. The bald old man said again.
"yes!" a few people next to him chimed in.
"Don't worry, when did my wife do something unfavorable to the village, since I asked Shen Daoyou to go, I naturally have a way to protect it. Granny Ma looked at the bald old man with sharp eyes.
Shen Luo was surprised in his heart, and secretly wondered what Granny Ma meant by this.
The bald old man and the others were forced by Granny Ma's gaze, and their hearts were cold, and they couldn't speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are monsters lurking underneath here, and it's not safe here, so let's go home and wait for the results. Granny Ma looked around and said slowly, although her voice was not loud, there was an undoubted majesty.
Everyone around looked at each other and left the courtyard one after another, only Yingluo and Qingniu stayed.
"Yingluo, Qingniu, you also go out first, I have something to tell Shen Daoyou. Granny Ma said to Yingluo and the others again.
Yingluo hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shen Luo, turned around and walked out.
Qingniu left after him, and only Shen Luo and Granny Ma were left in the courtyard.
"Shen Daoyou, this time I let you go alone to save Chen Guanbao, the old woman is very ashamed. Granny Ma sighed.
Shen Luo smiled and didn't say anything.
Granny Ma put her hand into her arms and quickly took it out, with a palm-sized silver moon ring on her hand, the outer edge was bright and sharp, but the inside was relatively thick, and the whole body exuded a layer of wet silver glow, which looked extremely beautiful.
