Chapter 4: Ice Light Disillusionment, Fleeting Demon Soul Shadow
On this day, it is time to wake up and say that it is time to go down the mountain to inspect the fields.
Speaking of which, the thousands of hectares of fertile land under Luofu Mountain are quite important to the Shangqing Palace. But the relationship between the Shangqing Palace and its tenants has always been good, and this errand of inspecting the fields is basically nothing to do.
Now, in order to avoid the midsummer day, Xingyan found a shade to sit down and half-leaned on the trunk to rest. Although there was a mottled shadow reflected on him through the branches and leaves, in this green shade, through the breeze blowing in the field, it was really pleasant.
Xingyan was enjoying the cool under this tree, but the little girl Qiong Wei who came with him couldn't be idle for a while, and was playing vigorously in the field, picking wild flowers on the edge of the field for a while, and jumping up and down to chase butterflies for a while - when she was chasing, the two bright red ribbons tied on Xiao Qiongwei's head kept fluttering in the wind, and they were like the colorful butterflies that were wandering and flying in this thick green.
Between the dances, the little girl's red and tender face was covered with a little bead of sweat, just like the crystal dew on the pink lotus.
Looking at Qiong Wei's carefree and lively figure, Xingyan didn't feel a trace of a smile on his face, and thought to himself:
"This little girl is full of energy, and she is not afraid of the heat. ”
Just as he was watching Qiong Wei playing, enjoying the cool breeze in the green field, and being extremely leisurely, he suddenly heard someone say in his ear:
"Alas, what a strange thing! There are monsters who dare to come to this Luofu Mountain to cause trouble!"
When he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was a peasant who was not very old, and he had also come to rest under the shade of four or five big trees. A shovel was resting beside him.
"Youkai?"
The boy who was bored heard the farmer say this, and immediately became interested.
"Yes, this little Taoist master hasn't heard the wind yet?"
"I haven't heard of it yet. ”
It was now nearly noon, and although there were wisps of clouds in the sky, the head was still quite strong, and the peasant rested here with peace of mind. Now when I see someone taking a stubble, I naturally have to answer all questions, and I will listen to the recent events in the village.
It turns out that because of the Shangqing Palace, at the foot of Luofu Mountain, the prosperity has always been peaceful, and there has never been a monster to make trouble. Recently, somehow, there was a snake demon in the vicinity, and it is said that a few people were injured. This monster came to make trouble under this Luofu Mountain, but it really means that Tai Sui's head is breaking ground.
When I first heard this farmer talk about it, I thought it was just a rumor in the countryside. But the peasant said that several people in their village had been attacked by the snake demon, and that they were not lightly injured. Then he described to Xingyan the terrible appearance of the snake demon, saying that its eyes were like brass bells, and its body was like a giant tree, and it looked extremely terrifying—and although all these scenes were seen by others, he said them vividly, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.
Although he heard him speak vividly, and often swore in his words, Xingyan still had some doubts in his heart and asked:
"Since there is this snake demon hurting people, why didn't you invite me to the Taoist of the Shangqing Palace to subdue the monster?
"Alas, this one of us has also thought of it, and several Taoist masters from your sect have also come!"
"Oh, and what happened?"
"Alas!"
I heard him sigh heavily, and said:
"It's useless. I didn't expect that the snake demon to be so cunning, and when he saw that there was a Taoist from the Shangqing Palace here, he only knew that he would hide in his own hole and never come out again!"
"Really?hehe~ These essence-forming things are quite spiritual!"
Listening to the narration of the peasants, Xingyan remembered the elm stool demon in the Zhu Mansion in Raozhou a few months ago.
"It seems that the snake demon will not come out today. ”
The young Taoist of the Shangqing Palace said casually.
"That might be. ”
The farmer next to him also responded unintentionally.
“......”
When both of them reacted, the farmer was a little embarrassed, and said:
"Although Dao Ye, you are not very old, but after all, you also came down from Luofu Mountain, and with you sitting here, the monster naturally does not dare to ......."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly stopped-because at this time both of them heard, and in the midst of the summer cicada that was singing intermittently at that time, a woman's cry for help was faintly heard:
"Basilis...... Help ......"
The intermittent cry for help was clearly transmitted to the ears of these two idle people along the wind.
Hearing this cry for help, Xingyan was suddenly startled, and when he looked up, he saw that Qiong Wei, who was originally playing nearby, was now gone!
In an instant, as if stung by a scorpion, the boy jumped up, grabbed the farmer's shovel, and rushed towards the place where the cry for help had been heard.
"Qiong Wei has an ability, so he shouldn't be easily injured by the snake demon, right?"
While rushing with strength, comfort yourself.
Although he tried his best to relieve himself, he was getting closer and closer to the intermittent cry for help, and the heart of Xingyan was getting tighter and tighter, and he didn't have the heart to take a closer look.
When he got closer, the anxious young man realized that the person who was calling for help not far in front of him was not his sister Qiong Wei - about dozens of steps away from him, in a clearing on the edge of the forest, there was a young woman in a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, struggling to call for help, and on her body, a black python with thick arms was coiled, constantly shrinking and twisting!
Seeing this scene, the young man's hanging heart was put down. Although this python looks quite large, such a big python is not uncommon for a young man from the mountains.
"I'm ashamed! I had a false alarm, and I really thought it was a snake demon. It turned out to be just such a snake worm!"
Wake up to his family, he is born as a hunter, and he is quite familiar with this kind of snake hunting. Immediately, he put the shovel in his hand aside, and then picked up the hot ground that was hot by the sun, and moved it step by step silently.
And the big snake, when Xingyan approached, seemed to be unaware, and only cared about stalking the woman there.
The young man, who was approaching the snake about four or five paces away, stopped, and took a brief look at the position of the python in front of him—and then, seeing him suddenly start, he jumped up with an arrow step, and with his palm open, he pinched the python exactly seven inches at once!
Although, perhaps in the eyes of others, the young man's actions seem to be a bit thrilling and reckless. But it is not difficult for the so-called meeting, and it is not difficult to wake up to this series of actions, there is no danger, and all kinds of actions are just right, and the points are exactly right.
Now, his right palm is strangling the python's seven inches, and his left hand is firmly grasping the round snake body, and together they are working together to peel it off the woman's body.
This big python with black scales, although he tried his best to make a gesture, turned around and opened his mouth to bite the awakening words to get rid of the predicament in front of him. But unfortunately, the seven inches of its most critical jaw has been pinched by this powerful young man, and no matter how he twists it, it can't hurt the young man in the slightest.
Seeing that this python was firmly caught by himself, Xingyan also calmed down. Looking back at the gray-stained woman, who now seemed to be too frightened to speak, the young man said in an extraordinarily gentle tone:
"This eldest sister is fine now. This python has been captured by me. You're not hurt, are you?"
As soon as he said this, he saw that the woman who had been stunned seemed to suddenly wake up, and then, in the surprised eyes of the young man, she suddenly fell to her knees and said sadly:
"Thank you Dao Chang for saving me! The people in the little woman's family have all been killed by this snake demon, and the concubine is now helpless, and I want to ask the Taoist to be kind again......
"The basilisk?"
When the young man heard the woman's sudden plea, he was a little at a loss, but he didn't notice that the big python in his hand was staring at him, as if he was looking at it carefully! Now, the young man's already handsome face was amiable, and it exuded an indescribable gentleness and harmony.
“...... The Tao is gracious, and the little woman has nothing to repay, but is willing to be a slave and a maid......"
The woman also seemed to be a little ignorant of the world, and the young man still had the python in his hand, so she was eager to thank him. There were some young people who were at a loss, but they suddenly felt that the python in their hands, which had been firmly grasped by themselves, was trembling violently!
- When he looked down, the body of the python was expanding uncontrollably!
Before the two people present could react, they saw that this python, which was originally only as thick as an arm, had transformed into a giant snake the size of a bucket!
"Oh no!
Before Xingyan could react, he saw this giant python, and with a slight struggle, it was already out of the boy's control. And the black python head that was originally mixed with white patterns suddenly turned into the appearance of a man's face! On both sides of the mouth, two sharp fangs shining with white light poked out, making the pale face of the snake demon look extremely strange and terrifying!
Now when he saw this suddenly mutated snake demon, he seemed to be crazy, his head swinged, and the look on his face was indescribably hideous and terrifying, and he was shouting indistinctly:
"Abominable people...... Give it all to me...... Die!"
Then, he opened his blood-colored mouth, raised two sharp fangs, and bit at Xingyan!
- At the first time of the upheaval, although everyone was shocked, Xingyan reacted before the woman. Seeing the hideous bite of this snake demon, Xingyan quickly turned his head away and avoided it.
It's just that although it didn't hurt the snake demon's face, the speed of its bite was too fast, and it only had time to give up, but it was bitten on the left shoulder by the snake demon!
In an instant, Xingyan felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and then he felt a tingling feeling, wrapped in an unusually cold and cold breath, flowing towards his whole body......
"It turns out that it's not a non-venomous python!"
Although the pain was severe, the young man did not panic, and with a slap of his hand, he slapped off the snake demon that was biting on the shoulder, and then quickly launched the spell of "Ice Heart Knot" and attacked the snake demon.
At the moment when the ice qi reached his body, the snake demon was obviously stagnant, and his movements became slow. But unlike the last time when Nadu Ziyu was in the middle of the law, this snake demon was tenacious, although it was hit by the spell, it was not immediately frozen, but struggled to wrap the barrel-thick snake body around the young man's body, and the tighter and tighter it became, and the expression on its face became more and more crazy and hideous!
At that moment, a cold and fierce demonic aura came like a tide, as if it was about to annihilate the young man......
At this critical moment, the young man who was struggling to resist the snake demon suddenly felt that the Taihua Dao power in his body was circulating on its own without waiting for the summoning.
Just like the homework that the boy did on the Thousand Bird Cliff every night, this Taihua Dao power is absorbing and refining the demonic energy that is surging like a tide...... Compared to absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Spirit in the Luofu Cave Heaven, this refining was so fast, and it absorbed the surging demonic qi all at once!
-- The refining of this Taihua Dao power did not end there.
After absorbing the menacing demonic qi, this Taihua Dao power rolled back and began to suck and extract its crazy qi from the snake demon's body......
All this, although it only happened for a moment, seemed so long to the snake demon who was in a frenzy.
But in this way, the young man who was haunted by this snake demon was suddenly freed. Immediately, Xingyan felt that his body was loosened, and it seemed that the snake demon on his body was entangled with death force, and his strength was much weaker all of a sudden.
At this critical juncture, when his life was at stake, he didn't care about thinking too much, so he quickly concentrated on it and concentrated on the operation of the technique of "refining the gods and transforming the void".
But seeing this snake demon who was going crazy by himself, as the young man began to use the technique of "refining the gods and transforming the void", the originally extremely fierce and fierce look on its face suddenly transformed into a terrified appearance;
"Soul Eater......
Then, it turns into a stiff ice sculpture.
Although he saw the appearance of the snake demon, he still didn't dare to relax after learning the lesson of Fang Cai. He continued to use the method of refining gods and transforming voids there.
At this moment, Xingyan suddenly heard a coquettish cry in his ears, and then he felt that the red light flashed in front of him, and a shadow blew like a whirlwind - he looked at it, but saw that the snake demon in front of him, which was still trembling, immediately shattered into thousands of pieces......
When the whirlwind red shadow settled, Xingyan saw that the person who smashed the snake demon was the little Qiong Wei who had been playing elsewhere. Now, this little girl is like a pink lotus, with a lot of anger and ferocity.
"Heh~"
Seeing that the crisis had passed, Xingyan was about to speak, but suddenly he felt that it was dark in front of him, and then he fell to the dust.
In the distant and deep shadows, it seemed that someone was calling his name;
"Are you going to die?"
With this last thought, the boy fell into the endless darkness......
