Chapter 4 Little Green Snake
In the early morning, the white snake coiled up on the slope to sleep and returned to its cage, while the little green snake breathed out spiritual energy.
At noon, the white snake took a nap in the field covered with a straw hat, while the little green snake breathed out spiritual energy under the scorching sun.
In the middle of the night, the white snake secretly met Zhou Gong in the warm cave, and the little green snake breathed out spiritual energy with dark circles under its eyes.
Even when hibernating, the little green snake will crawl out of its cave to vomit from time to time.
Such a diligent and hard-working little green snake finally stimulated the white snake, and he also followed the little green snake to get up early in the morning. Unfortunately, in the end, the little green snake's motivation was defeated by the sleepy man.
The crops in the field were planted twenty times and harvested twenty times.
The body length of the white snake seems to have been fixed. It has not shed its skin for twenty years, and naturally it has not grown much. It still maintains a length of about five meters, but the scales on its body have become more crystal clear, like ice and jade.
Nowadays, White Snake's ability to "call for wind and rain" can cover several acres of land, and the land cultivated has also increased several times.
The opposite of the white snake whose body shape has not changed is the little green snake.
When the little green snake was first rescued from the cave, the little one was not even long enough to have a chopstick. Even among young snakes, it was considered premature.
But now the little green snake has grown to six meters long, even thicker than the white snake. If it weren't for the two hollow fangs, the little green snake would be a giant green python.
Thanks to the little green snake's hard work day in and day out, it was only in the third year that it awakened its spiritual wisdom and became a glorious green snake demon.
On this day, the white snake was lying comfortably in the wheat field that was about to mature. Its face was covered with a straw hat knitted by the little green snake, and its tail was chasing away the little sparrows that fell into the rice field.
These little sparrows flew in from the big hole in the sky, and now they have become a nuisance in the demon world, constantly stealing the food planted by the white snake, so that the white snake has to stay in the ground all day long to prevent any harvest.
Speaking of which, since the Demon King disappeared, the entire Demon Realm has been wiped out, and even the Demon Realm's eggshell-like protective shield has been punched with a big hole.
Now another twenty years have passed, and the Demon Realm Formation, which has lost the power of the Demon Clan to replenish energy, is getting darker and darker. Now White Snake can even see the outside scene clearly through the protective wall of the Demon Realm Formation. If it continues like this, it might not be good.
One day the demon realm formation will lose its effectiveness.
However, White Snake has carefully examined it and found that the environment outside the Demon Realm is not much different from that in the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm must have fallen into a remote mountainous forest where no one is inhabited. Except for some animals, it has not seen a single person in twenty years.
In this way, even if the demon realm's great formation disappears, life probably won't change much... right.
The white snake was thinking as a group of migrating birds flew over its head.
I don’t know what these big birds smell like.
White Snake felt a little hungry again.
Why doesn't Xiaoqing come back?
Wait? Didn't these birds get killed in the formation? Did the formation disappear?
As if to confirm White Snake's guess, a shadow in the distant grass pressed down on a row of grass and rushed towards the field.
The little green snake, which is longer than the white snake, pokes its head out of the grass.
Little Green Snake: "Hiss!"
White Snake: "Hiss?"
Little Green Snake: "Hiss..."
"..."
Sure enough, the formation completely disappeared, and the Demon Realm was completely exposed to the world.
However, apart from the initial surprise, life seems to have not changed much as the white snake thought, except that the little green snake went to explore outside the demon realm every day.
The White Snake still guards its vegetable fields and cultivated fields. After the opening of the Demon Realm, the number of animals that steal food in the fields increases day by day. Especially rats and groups of sparrows make the White Snake turn gray with worry. If it had hair...
But it didn't take long for the white snake to find a solution. It found that as long as the little green snake was in the field, sparrows and mice would not dare to come near it.
Strangely enough, these little animals are not afraid of the white snake at all. Even if the white snake lies down and sleeps in the field, sparrows dare to land on it and eat the ears of wheat.
The white snake was so angry that he hissed. Do animals also discriminate?
But the little green snake cannot stay in the field all the time, and the white snake has several fields, and the little green snake is also very busy.
So the white snake reluctantly pulled out a few scales from the little green snake and distributed them in the field. The problem of mice and sparrows was solved.
What, you ask why the white snake endured pain? That's because when the scales were being pulled out, the little green snake couldn't help but bite the white snake's tail, and the white snake almost fainted without pain.
The days were as ordinary as usual, and White Snake was content with peace and quiet, just wanting to eat and wait for death.
Until one day, the threat of death really came to it.
It's not a foreign enemy or a natural disaster, it's longevity.
All things have longevity, no matter how glorious they were during life, they will always be nothing but a handful of loess after death. In order to resist the ultimate fate of life, countless monks and beasts have embarked on the path of pursuing eternal life.
White Snake originally thought that he had lived two lives, and in this life he had lived for more than a hundred years and could face death calmly. However, when he truly felt that his lifespan was about to run out, he still felt great fear in his heart.
But the one who is more afraid than it is the little green snake. From birth to now, the little green snake has never left the white snake, and it dare not imagine its life without the white snake.
After realizing that the white snake's lifespan was about to end, the little green snake thought of various ways and even looked for elixirs to extend its lifespan.
However, elixirs with the ability to extend lifespan are all treasures of heaven and earth. They can be found wherever they are told to find them. In desperation, Little Green Snake has no choice but to pull White Snake to the breakthrough every day to breathe, hoping that White Snake can break through the spark stage and extend his lifespan.
They even abandoned the racial characteristics of hibernation.
Seeing that the little green snake was so concerned about his own affairs (he was really annoyed and couldn't help it), the white snake could only let it be manipulated (he couldn't defeat the opponent) and had no choice but to cooperate (he was afraid of death).
But White Snake also knows in his heart that if he had practiced seriously in the past hundred years or so, he might have broken through to the Spark Stage long ago, but a hundred years of laziness cannot be made up for by a short period of diligence, even if he is cramming day and night.
, it is also impossible for it to break through to the Spark stage.
The little green snake seemed to be aware of this. One day, it suddenly no longer forced the white snake to get up early to regurgitate. Instead, it bowed its head and left the demon realm, hiding somewhere alone and suffering alone.
Originally, the white snake was going to take the opportunity to go back to the cave and take a nap. Seeing how sad the little green snake was, she finally felt a little bit ashamed in her heart.
Maybe he really should try harder. A pair of golden vertical pupils couldn't help but look at the mountain peaks in the distance.
That is the core area of the Demon Realm and the residence of the Demon Emperor.
If you want to reach the Earth-Slope Star-Fire period before your longevity is exhausted, it may not be completely impossible.
According to legend, there is a secret method of the demon clan enshrined in the palace of the demon emperor. As long as the demon clan practices according to the secret method, its cultivation speed is not weaker than the top skills practiced by humans.
I still have a few years left. A few years are enough for a human monk with no foundation to break through the Qi Refining Stage and enter the Foundation Building Stage. If the description of the secret method is correct, White Snake, who is just one step away, can naturally break through to the Spark Stage.
