Yu Xiu left the inn, walked to the street, grabbed a random person in the village for questioning, and then came to the place where everyone disposed of the corpse of the snake demon.

In the makeshift tent, more than a dozen people gathered around the corpse of the snake demon in the center, and pieces of whitish snake meat were taken off the backbone of the snake demon and piled up on top of the oilcloth.

At the same time, the snakeskin has been torn off relatively intact and propped aside with a bamboo pole, and someone is standing in front of the snakeskin to process it.

The scene was in full swing, and Yu Xiu walked in here and immediately smelled the strong smell of wine. He looked around, and was surprised to see that someone was cooking wine in the shed, and there was a steamer next to the stove where the wine was boiling, and he didn't know what was in it.

"Shaoxia, you're here. The old man of the inn suddenly appeared in front of Yu Xiu and spoke respectfully: "The big guy just finished sorting out the big snake and is preparing to concoct it." ”

Yu Xiu saw him walk in front of him, nodded casually, and then drove around the scene with his hands behind his back.

"The ancestors used spirits to brew, and added old ginseng, yellow essence, and toad crisp together...... However, the herbs need to be dried before they can be soaked in wine. But now the time is tight, and the village directly uses the method of three steaming and three boiling for processing......"

The old man chattered in Yu Xiu's ear, lest he say it in detail, and Yu Xiu was sluggish.

Even the ancestral method of soaking wine in the snake catcher village was also said, and Yu Xiu listened to it on the side, wrote it down, and suddenly felt that he could act on his own in the future.

After walking around, Yu Xiu felt that the snake catcher village's method of using snake medicine was really familiar, even more than the rumors, and he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that it is indeed a wise move to hand over the corpse of the snake demon to them." ”

Finally, when he came to the corpse of the red phosphorus snake with only one spine left, Yu Xiu stopped the old man in the inn from speaking, and asked aloud, "What about the other snake demon corpse?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately pointed to a wooden barrel next to him.

Yu Xiu raised his eyes and looked over, slightly surprised in his eyes.

The barrel was no more than half a man's height, and contained a bloody human head, along with piles of broken scales and snake skin.

He walked over, picked up the snake corpse in the bucket with a knife, and asked, "Green snake demon...... It's all here?"

The old man of the inn nodded and explained: "When the man in the village moved this snake demon, he was also very surprised to find that the snake demon was empty, and the meat and internal organs were shriveled into skin. ”

Yu Xiu listened to the old man's words, thinking back to the scene where the female corpse had eaten the flesh and blood of the green snake demon before, and his heart was still slightly terrified.

However, he didn't show much of a look, and bent down, picking out all the snake corpses from the barrel, and groping inch by inch.

The old man looked at his movements, feeling a little inexplicable, but he didn't dare to say more, just whispered: "The skin and flesh of this big snake are all shriveled, and we don't know if it has any medicinal effect, so it has not been concoct......ed in the barrel yet."

After groping on the corpse of the green snake demon for a while, Yu Xiu's brows furrowed, and he said in his heart: "What about the snake beads?"

He looked at the head of the snake demon, groaned slightly, and then took the knife and directly slashed the human head.

With a click, the human head cracked, and there was nothing like mushy inside, empty, but there was a shriveled triangular snake head falling out, dark red color.

Yu Xiu looked through the snake demon's head several times, but still didn't find anything like a bead. The old man stood aside, and saw that Yu Xiu's face became gloomy and a little uneasy.

"Have you found anything else where the snake demon died?" Yu Xiu stood up and suddenly let out a loud voice.

"I—I'm going to ask!" the old man heard and hurriedly called the people around him.

But after some careful inquiry, he sent people to search the street several times, and until dawn, everyone did not find what Yu Xiu was in his mouth.

Knowing this, Yu Xiu squinted his eyes lightly and looked at the people in the village around him.

Many people saw that his face was gloomy, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of angering Yu Xiu. After all, in their opinion, Yu Xiu is the kind of strange man who travels all over the world and has mysterious methods, and if one accidentally offends him, his life will not be guaranteed.

"Young man, young man......," said the old man cautiously, "but we lost something, and we searched for it overnight." ”

At the same time, he gritted his teeth and said, "If the hands of that cub in the stockade are not clean, there is no need for Shaoxia to take action, and we will end him." ”

Yu Xiu turned his head to stare at him, seeing the old man's cloudy eyes tremble, and he was terrified. But Yu Xiu suddenly said: "No, Xu is poor Dao's mistake." ”

He looked around, looked at the people in the village, and arched his hand, "Please continue to concoct snake corpses, the poor road is disturbed." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother!" everyone replied again and again, not daring to accept the words of rest.

Yu Xiu didn't bother to pay attention to them, and after giving it up, he directly threw up his sleeves and turned away, striding towards the hotel.

When he walked up the stone street and passed by the place where the green snake demon died, his eyes roamed the ground, and he didn't find the two snake demon eyeballs that he had knocked down before.

Retracting his gaze, Yu Xiu walked all the way to the hotel.

When he entered the inn, as soon as he returned to the guest room, the female corpse in the room raised her pale little face and looked at him.

Yu Xiu walked in front of the female corpse, organizing words in his heart, and was about to ask where the two snake eyes were before, but the female corpse herself lowered her head and timidly stretched out her palm.

On the palm of the female corpse, there are two bluish white beads, the size of a little fingernail, just like the best pearls.

When Yu Xiu saw these two beads, his eyes were slightly stunned, and he said, "Snake beads." ”

That's right, the two white beads spread out in the palms of the female corpse are the snake beads that Yu Xiu has seen a few times in the memory of the red-scaled snake demon, that is, the treasure in the mouth of the green snake demon.

This thing is called "fine snake beads", not a treasure that snakes and insects become essences and condense in the body, but a strange treasure refined by Taoist priests using the Dan method.

Yu Xiu didn't know the specific refining method, but according to the resentment in the soul of the red-scaled snake demon, the raw materials of this thing were inevitably picked from the snakes and insects.

Yu Xiu hesitated slightly, took the thin snake bead from the female corpse's hand, and played with it carefully in his hand. The two thin snake beads were still glowing with fishy smell, apparently just cut out of the snake's eyes.

Holding the snake bead in his hand, Yu Xiu gently pinched it, and a trace of blood qi rushed into a snake bead, and he saw that the faint cyan on the surface of the snake bead faded and turned into pure white, filling him with a familiar qi.

If there were Taoist priests and samurai here, they would immediately find that Yu Xiu's qi weakened, and suddenly dropped to the level of snakes and insects, which was difficult to detect.

"As revealed in the soul of the snake demon, this snake bead can really help people hide their breath and not be noticed by others. Pinching the snake beads, Yu Xiu pondered.

He discovered that the snake bead was not suppressing or sealing his qi, but lowering his qi to the point of being as weak as a snake and worm, in order to confuse people's spiritual senses.

In this way, if the practitioner does not see it with his own eyes, he will only subconsciously think that there is no one in the room, but there are small animals such as snakes and insects.

"Strange treasure, strange treasure!" Yu Xiu rejoiced in his heart.

With the existence of this snake bead, whether it is to escape and run, or to be a gentleman on the beam, it is promising!

In fact, Yu Xiu didn't know that the Green Snake Demon and the Red Snake Demon relied on the two snake beads they stole to escape from the Taoist priest and recover their free bodies.

And after escaping, the green snake demon relied on his strength, took care of the snake beads stolen by the red snake demon, and hid them in the two eyes of his head.

This is also the reason why the green snake demon can quietly wander in the village, until it appears on its own, it is not noticed by Yu Xiu......
