Chapter 3 The timid snake demon wants to ask

Night falls…

The new moon is like a silver boat parked among the branches, with fireflies flying in the grass, just like the bright moonlight...

The cicadas chirped endlessly in the forest, occasionally intertwined with the unpleasant neighings of birds and animals, until a shrill wolf howl sounded from the distance, and Xu Boqing, who was covered in mud and looked like a beggar, suddenly woke up...

broken!

Only then did he remember that this world was not as stable as in his previous life. He dared to dig holes in the cemetery, and he was brave. Materialism was not afraid of those vain ghosts and snake gods;

But these beasts in the forest only know whether they can fill their stomachs, and they don't talk about materialism. No matter how courageous they are, they will only get one more bite.

I thought that they were the family members of the original family and should be buried alive to avoid being dragged out and ruined by wild beasts in the forest. Now...

Xu Boqing looked at the pit he dug. It was nearly ten feet wide and deep enough to bury most of a standing person.

That’s almost it…

He quickly moved several corpses to the pit, and while praying, he dug soil to bury them. In a short time, a tomb filled with new soil was erected.

"In our hometown, we all believe in being buried in peace. I hope you can rest in peace. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely raise the ashes of those thieves to avenge you."

Xu Boqing bowed in front of the grave and saluted. After thinking clearly, he untied the old donkey tied far away. After thinking about it, he also took off the harness tied to it.

Now that I am the only one left, the flat cart dragged by the old donkey has no effect other than affecting my walking distance, so I naturally have to unload it.

"They say an old horse knows the way. I hope you, old donkey, can also know the way out..."

After Xu Boqing finished speaking, he stepped on the old donkey's back, casually broke off a branch to make a whip for driving the donkey, and gave the old donkey a light slap on the buttocks. The old donkey naturally walked out with its hoofs.

The moon is sparse and the stars are shining brightly...

Xu Boqing didn't know the road, and there was no introduction to this place in his memory. He only knew that this place belonged to Hongyang County.

And old animals have the instinct to seek good luck and avoid evil, so they simply gave the responsibility of leading the way to the old donkey...

Just don't fall into the gutter...

The old donkey was walking on the forest path, and the young man carrying it had turned around and was half leaning on the donkey's back. Except for occasionally brushing the donkey's butt with the small branch in his hand, he spent the rest of the time looking up at the moon.

He was also thinking about the next step.

In this world, Xu Boqing's mother died young, his father, who was in a bandit den, has also passed away, and all the accompanying family members and servants are dead. His only relatives are his second uncle Xu He and his family who have settled in Kyoto...

In the original owner's memory, the second uncle's family treated him very well. He often went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and he often went to the capital to visit with his old father. The family ties that were thicker than water did not seem to be fake.

Although my cousin Xu Da is a few months younger than me, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has a strong body and a strong body. As a result, he was often bullied by his cousin for his ignorance when he was young.

But as long as his second uncle sees or hears it, his cousin Xu Da will have to be beaten...

When he grew up and talked about these things, the original owner would always blush, while his cousin would laugh out loud.

I am now alone, and I did bring a lot of money with me, but all of it was looted by thieves. Now, except for the 'skill', I have no place to live, no money, and no talent...

It can be said that it is difficult to have a full meal.

Hongyang County is less than a hundred miles away from Kyoto. As long as you find the location, you can walk there in two days at most.

I have to go to Beijing to join my second uncle as originally planned and get a firm foothold first!!

Just when Xu Boqing was thinking about the way forward, he didn't notice a pair of vertical pupils staring at him dimly in the jungle in the distance...

A giant snake three feet long and as thick as a bucket was hidden in the jungle. Its dark black scales opened and closed, or slowly wriggled, with its breathing.

The muscles under the scales slowly exerted force, pulling the snake's body forward in a winding motion. The sound of gargling caused by the friction of the scales was inaudible amid the chirping of the cicadas.

It followed calmly and within the range where it could see the old donkey.

It has been more than a hundred years since it opened its spiritual wisdom. In its early years, it has been practicing carefully and has never set foot in the mortal world.

However, the bloodline of the monster body is thin, and the inheritance in the bloodline has long been digested. Now, not only can the cultivation level not be improved, but there is a faint trend of decline...

In recent years, it has become more and more anxious.

Forced to have no choice, it could only turn its attention to mortals. In the deep mountains and old forests, it used blinding techniques to confuse the mortals who strayed in, so as to absorb their essence to strengthen itself...

It once spent a lot of money to ask a friend who was proficient in divination to calculate its own destiny. After getting the answer, it lay dormant here.

This wait is several years...

Just today, it sensed that a group of dead people had fallen into the cemetery. It is a Yin snake and is extremely sensitive to life and death. It will never sense anything wrong!!

But among those few ordinary dead corpses, one of them glowed with vitality like the scorching sun.

This frightened it so much that it thought that some righteous master who was passing by had discovered its heel and came to collect the monster...

It was not very courageous and ran away immediately...

Later, I realized that the 'master' did not chase the demon, and did not even show the slightest breath.

Then he thought of the purpose of hibernating here, and with a heartbeat, he plucked up the courage to swim back again...

It also accidentally discovered that the resurrected man was digging a pit to bury his body, so it kept watching from a distance.

In my mind, I searched for the corresponding information in the bloodline inheritance based on vision keywords such as 'resurrection from the dead', 'glowing with vitality like the scorching sun'.

Although I haven't found the same one...

But it found something similar!!

According to rumors, when an immortal master is reincarnated and re-cultivation, he may have visions of resurrecting his corpse!!

Although it has been practicing for a long time, it has never been very courageous. When it realized that it was probably an expert in front of him, it was surprised and happy, a mixture of fear and joy.

Fortunately, the old turtle's prediction came true!

What I am afraid of is that the other party is an immortal master, and I am a snake demon. The racial stereotypes in the spiritual world are deeply rooted. If I show up to seek enlightenment, I will probably be disliked by the master...

Maybe he will be beheaded easily...

What should I do!?

After hesitating and struggling for a while, it got closer little by little, wanting to test the master's attitude towards the monsters, but what surprised it was that the master seemed not to be able to sense it and didn't care at all.

Maybe the master knew about it and was deliberately testing me?

But what if it’s a trap?

Since it opened its spiritual intelligence, it has never been so entangled as it is today, as if there are two roads ahead waiting for it to choose...

One reads 'immortal guides the way' and 'opportunity for enlightenment';

One reads ‘Bold evildoer’ and ‘Little life is lost’…

The probability of both is half.

When I saw the master riding the donkey backwards and preparing to leave, my heart was as entangled as an ant roasting on the fire. I wanted to block the road with a blind trick, but I was afraid of offending the master.

What should I do!?

At this time, Xu Boqing also thought about how to go in the future. After taking a long and soothing breath, he put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky again. The moonlight seemed to be more gentle...

Thinking about the past and present life, I couldn't help but sigh: "Although the old days are still here, I don't care, let's go to Kyoto to spend the late spring. There are cicadas chirping in the tree and the moon in the stream. I wonder who belongs to you tonight?"

Not long after the words fell...

There was a sound of rinsing scales rubbing against each other in the forest, and a female voice with a trembling voice: "Little... the little demon has always been timid, and he didn't mean to hide his traces. I hope the immortal will not be upset..."

"?????"
