Ten years have passed.

The white snake is still five meters long and has not grown again, but the continuous swallowing of fog every day makes the strength greater and the physique stronger, and at the same time, the snake scales lubricated all over the body are whiter and more beautiful.

In the waterhole, a triangular ripple spreads to both sides.

Boom~

Lift the water splash and raise the snake's head high, and go ashore leisurely after bathing.

Swim and climb to rest under an old ginkgo tree that is huge enough to be hugged by five or six people, the ginkgo tree is very old, it looks like it has a life span of at least a thousand years, the trunk is like a canopy, there are smooth boulders under the tree, the stone is slightly cool, and only a cold-blooded animal like a snake likes to cling to it in summer.

Suddenly, the resting white snake raised its head and looked into the distance, and the infrared sensing organ found that a humanoid object was approaching, and opened the snake's mouth to show its fangs as vigilant.

When I got closer, I realized through my keen sense of smell that it was an old acquaintance, the medicine picker.

As ten years ago, I met and worshipped, ten years, time has made this man who risked death into the mountains to collect medicine more vicissitudes, the living environment in ancient times was poor, the lack of nutrition and various social reasons human life expectancy was generally short, more than fifty years old can be regarded as a high life, there are countless people who died in their forties, Wang Da is already old like a sixty-year-old man in his forties, and the white snake doubts that the rickety body can still climb the cliff and pick dendrobium.

After saying goodbye to each other for many years, the herb picker is old, and the white snake is still the same as ten years ago.

"It's been ten years, I can't imagine that I will see you again"

The old herb picker muttered to himself, and the white snake raised his snake head to look at the old man who was no longer verbose.

"I've become a useless bad old man, I can't make money for the family, and I have to have my son and daughter-in-law to support me. ”

“............”

"My wife left the spring before last, I didn't eat in the drought, I didn't listen to the persuasion to eat Guanyin soil, I can live a few more days without eating soil, I can only live seven days after eating soil, I know, she is to save food for her children......"

“............”

"My son got married and gave birth to a daughter, in fact, I want a grandson more in my heart, and the Wang family can't have a queen. ”

The white snake listened quietly, listening to the medicine picker chattering, this old man who had worked hard all his life to support his family had worked hard all his life and failed to change the poverty of his family, he didn't understand why he was poor, the white snake understood, it was difficult for the vast majority of the population in ancient times where the class had long been solidified and chaotic to live a good life, and to put it bluntly, it was already a gift from those powerful families to be able to live.

"Outsiders say that there is a white dragon cultivation here, I know they saw you, and Liu San's mother-in-law also said that you gave him a dream haha~"

Speechless, when did he ever give someone a dream, and he didn't have that ability.

Under the ginkgo tree, the old man muttered to himself to a white snake......

In the afternoon, the herb picker left.

White Snake thinks that he may die soon, and that Snake Hyacinth can smell the dying smell on his body, and maybe he will be happy that he can meet his wife after death and save food for his son's family.

Suddenly I wanted to hurry up and cultivate, the taste of death was not good, and the white snake didn't want to die again.

The snake likes yin, and the white snake with no cultivation experience has to look for that kind of cool place according to the knowledge of his previous life, and he just thinks of the small puddle on the cliff where he swallowed the elixir, and he can do it if he wants, leaving the ginkgo tree and quickly climbing halfway up the mountainside, the small puddle is still there, and the small water flow in the cracks of the rocks above gathers into a small puddle, the water quality is clear and sweet, and the white snake feels that this must be a good place to cultivate.

Coiled into a plate and looked up and spit out.

In the mountains, a white snake strives to absorb the aura of heaven and earth in order not to die......

............

A few years later.

After the mountain rain, the clouds and mist are like rivers and rivers, the vast fog is like the Milky Way falling for nine days, rushing and drumming, crossing the deep valley and rolling over the ridge, a white snake stands on the boulder on the top of the mountain in the vast sea of clouds, floating and sinking in the sea of clouds.

After years of cultivation, he seized every opportunity to swallow clouds and spit out fog, and intuitively felt that it was right, and the actual effect was also satisfactory to White Snake.

Cultivation can make a lonely life have something to do, the snake is an oviparous creature, out of the shell does not know who the parents are and does not recognize the habit of brothers and sisters, if there is nothing to do, there is no chance of a fight, the white snake has been living alone since it was born, never close to other snakes, it can be regarded as a house snake that has been at home for more than 30 years.

The tuna ended, and went down the mountain with a gust of fishy wind.

Recently, White Snake has been in trouble, and the situation is very strange.

Somehow, there are always big snakes running into the territory to get close to themselves, and they can't get rid of them, so they have to use their size advantage to throw the big snake away roughly, but they are thrown one after another.

There was a big snake in front of him, raising his body and dancing, following wherever he went, and in anger he bit the snake's head and threw it away!

It took much later for the White Snake to understand this phenomenon......

The days can't pass, sleeping under the ginkgo tree is harassed, running to the mountains to cultivate is also disturbed, and I can't spit out, driving away a group of people who come and running endlessly.

Four or five more large snakes swam over, and they had no choice but to move away quickly faster than ordinary snakes.

Ran to the other side of the mountain, and several large snakes gathered.

The annoyed white snake felt that he should think of a way, looking at the direction of Wang Da entering and leaving the mountain, he wanted to go out on a whim and see what the human world was like in ancient times.

Of course, you can just look at it from a distance at the edge of the forest, and there is no need to leave the forest and put yourself in danger.

Just go, don't have much belongings to drag down and don't have to think about what to eat and where to live, follow the faint human smell and climb out of the mountain, and walk in an S shape to embark on a new journey.

Two days later.

The further you go, the more human activity you have.

For example, there are many bonfire marks under a boulder that can shelter from the rain, wood-knife chopping marks, and some simple traps, and there are basically no large animals on the periphery, and there are few animal species, most of them are pheasants, rabbits, foxes, etc., and of course, there are rats that are indispensable everywhere.

After a long time, I finally came to the edge of the woods and saw the villages of this world.

The first impression, poor, the second impression, very poor, as the saying goes, the jingle of the poor but this place can't even make a jingle bell, a low and dilapidated thatched house under the hillside, there are many rice fields next to the valley stream, two older men have a ride on the water wheel to water the rice fields, the skinny yellow dog runs across the ridges, and even the mice are not fat.

There are more than 20 households, less than 100 people, and the small ones can't be smaller villages.

I remember that the medicine picker mentioned his son's family, but he didn't know him and couldn't look for it, forget it, just take a look and go back to the mountains, maybe those big snakes will stop at that time.

So, White Snake began a voyeuristic career.

Someone in the village noticed an anomaly nearby......

"You say this is really strange, yesterday I came back from the field, a group of rats with their cubs on their backs ran out of the village, chickens and ducks do not return to the nest, dogs bark every day, evil door. ”
