Chapter 30: Haunting the Soul
After Xiao Qi returned to the human world, he first hid in a safe place and rested for a while, making sure that no one was chasing in the underworld, and then took the snake back to Cloud City.
One person and one soul came to the agreed place in advance, waiting for the arrival of the two people from Yuanxi Town.
Xiao Qi looked at the pit that was dug out by hand three days ago and it was still there, and things had completely changed, there was no need to bury the snake again, it could live well. I suddenly found that I had hardly helped anyone before, but this time, I really helped good people, and the feeling that rose in my heart was unprecedented comfort and pleasure.
System: "Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and if you save it, you will naturally feel like this in your heart."
It's just that yesterday's actions will inevitably be bad with the underworld, and no matter where you go in the future, you have to guard against the pursuit from the underworld."
Xiao Qi: "Don't worry, I'll be more careful."
The two of them came to the woods with the corpses of the live snake and the righteous snake as agreed, they didn't see the Bodhisattva that day, and they were very disappointed in their hearts, could it be that they had a dream?
Xiao Qi was waiting for them incognito, seeing the expressions on their faces, knowing that they felt that what happened that day was not true, she immediately flew into the air, turned into a bodhisattva, and approached in the clouds.
Xiao Qi: "Good, good, you two, please put the living snake and the dead snake on the ground together, and you can take the snake away after a while."
The two people in Yuanxi Town hurriedly took the live snake and put it down, and then held the two corpses of the dead snake and carefully put them on the ground.
Xiao Qi: "Please close your eyes, two."
The two obediently closed their eyes.
Xiao Qi first used mana to extract the soul of the living snake, and then directly penetrated the soul of the dead snake and transmitted the voice to it: "In the future, you will live with this body, your original body has completely died, and you can no longer use it, this is a new body for you, remember to live well with your master in the future, don't do bad things, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."
The snake nodded again and again, and Xiao Qi looked at the new soul on the side, which had not yet recovered from the change, and was stunned in the air.
I can't take care of it yet, so let's do what is in front of me first.
Although the snake that the two of them found was very similar to the dead snake, after all, there were differences in details, and if they were taken away directly, they would definitely find that it was not the original one, and they would have to change the appearance.
She raised her hand to make a seal, the light blue circular mark gradually brightened, and with a push of her hand, the mark quickly sank into the body of the dead snake, only to see that the snake skin on its body was completely peeled off little by little, when the two snake skins were all shed out, the mark flew to the live snake with the snake skin, and the snake skin soon covered the whole body of the snake, and the snake skin of the living snake was completely the same as that of the dead snake.
Change the soul, change the skin, and that's it.
Xiao Qi used illusion to cover up the skinless dead snake, and said softly: "Please open your eyes and take your snake away."
When the two of them heard this, they quickly opened their eyes to see, only to see that the old snake in front of them was like a family, they were surprised, they cried with joy, and the two of them pounced on the side of the snake, touched it here, touched it there, and made sure that it was alive, and it had the soft light of the past in its eyes, this is it!
The two of them laughed and cried, one hugged the snake's head, and the other hugged the snake's tail, and they were reluctant to let go at all.
After a while, they remembered to thank the Bodhisattva, and when they looked up, the Bodhisattva was long gone.
The two let go of the snake, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "In the future, I will offer incense to the Bodhisattva every day to repay the Bodhisattva's kindness."
Xiao Qi didn't show his figure, and said: "If you two really appreciate my merits, you don't need incense in the future, remember to be kind to others and do more good deeds."
One more thing to remind you, the spirit snake has come back from the dead, mortals can't accept it, they will speculate more about you, and even do evil things to you, after leaving from here, remember to take the snake out of Cloud City quickly, and don't let anyone who knows that it is dead see it again."
The two of them nodded again and again, and said in a loud voice: "What the Bodhisattva said is very true, and I will definitely do it, please accept our three prostrations."
After the two finished speaking, they knocked their heads to the ground several times, and thanked the Bodhisattva for their grace with three bows and nine bows.
Xiao Qi watched happily on the side for a long time, I just pretended to be a Bodhisattva, and they actually gave me the etiquette of meeting the emperor, although it was grand, but my heart was useful.
I took a big risk for the snake, and I don't know how the underworld will deal with it in the future, so I will accept this gift, and there is nothing inappropriate, I can't say it, for the sake of my invasion of the underworld, I will come to a great immortal who cultivates in order to get it, and my little life may not be able to be saved, so thinking about it, this gift is insignificant.
After the two of them saluted for a long time, they saw that there was no longer the voice of the Bodhisattva, so they took the snake and left.
Xiao Qi originally wanted to let that soul go to the underworld after pumping the soul of the living snake, but he didn't expect that after it was stunned for a long time and came back to its senses, it actually entangled itself and refused to accept his explanation easily.
Xiao Qi explained to it that he was trying to save a righteous snake for a long time, in order to help others do good deeds, but when it came to it, it didn't listen, but just thought: "Why do you want to use me to fulfill it?"
It shouldn't give a damn to it, and neither should I.
I was supposed to stay in the mountains and forests, and live a leisurely and comfortable life every day, just because you people need snake gall bladder medicine, snake meat for soup, I was caught, this is unfair to me, people are life, we snakes are the same, why should we be trampled on, eaten by people.
Now, although I have not been taken to eat meat, but I have no body, what is this called, this is called not asking my will, let me sacrifice it for no reason!
Do I deserve to die?
Did you ask me if I agree before you do anything, I am also a snake who has never done anything bad before you have a soul, and I am also very kind-hearted, why do you do this to me?
I'm only three years old, are you going to make me a lonely ghost?
In the future, I can still have any good fruit to eat, my soul is out of my body for no reason, as far as I know, I was arrested by the underworld, and I will only stay in the underworld and not be reincarnated, your behavior has caused me to be directly deprived of the opportunity to live, this is to make me disappear into the Six Realms, so unwilling."
Xiao Qi listened to its words, looked at its aggrieved and helpless little pitiful appearance with tears in its eyes and wanted to cry, and felt sorry for it in his heart, and he really had nothing to say to take it.
The snake soul said again: "You are talking, you took the soul and gave my body to other snakes, with such ability, shouldn't you be responsible for me? You just take care of the soul and don't care about the future? How can you have such a cute and beautiful face and do such a cruel thing?"
Xiao Qi was blocked by its back and forth, after all, he was unreasonable first, so he could only let it complain first. But what should I do about this?
The underworld does not accept souls whose cause of death is unknown, and now its body is still alive and well, if it is allowed to leave, it will not be able to say that it will compete with the spirit snake for the body, which is also a big trouble.
Xiao Qi didn't know how to solve it for a while, where she went, her soul followed, and she kept thinking in her ear, Xiao Qi was annoyed by the hype, and said helplessly: "Then what do you say?" But remember, if you want to get back to your body, I can't do it."
The soul circled around Xiao Qi, and suddenly said happily: "I'll follow you first, and I'll tell you what to do when I think of it."
I'll start with a question for you."
