Chapter 41: The Snake Girl's Revenge, the Magpie Repays Her Grace
Li Chengfei followed the two big magpies closely, running forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
From time to time, there would be big snakes escaping out of the forest. Either he reacted quickly and shot him, or a big magpie would flap its wings and hit the snake, attracting the snake's attention.
Suddenly, the front suddenly opened up, and an ancient courtyard appeared in front of us.
I don't know when it got dark, and those big magpies didn't know where they flew.
It was pitch black all around, and the shadows of the trees were like ghosts, which made Li Chengfei frightened.
A strong feeling inexplicably arose in his heart, as if only this ancient courtyard could give him a sense of security.
Li Chengfei walked towards the courtyard involuntarily.
The courtyard door opened, and a woman in white was standing at the door, holding a white lantern in her hand. Under the light, her face was as white as paper.
Li Chengfei felt a little scared and did not dare to look at the woman.
"Has the guest lost his way? There are many monsters and beasts in the mountains at night. You can come to your house to rest for a while." The woman's voice was cold.
"Thank you, madam!" Li Chengfei thanked her.
At this time, he seemed to have completely forgotten the embarrassment and fear of being chased by the big snake just now, and followed the woman towards the yard.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
In the darkness in the distance, there seemed to be a faint sound of birdsong, chirping anxiously.
Li Chengfei was in a trance, feeling as if he had forgotten something very important. He paused for a moment, trying to recall it.
But the woman in white turned around and asked in a cold voice:
"Why don't the guests leave?"
"Oh, here it comes."
As soon as the woman spoke, the chirping of birds disappeared, and the doubts that had just emerged in Li Chengfei's heart also dissipated. It seemed that there was only one thought left, to follow the woman in white into this house...
As for why he entered this house? What was he going to do? Strangely enough, he didn't even think about it.
The house seemed abandoned, with crumbling walls, spider webs all over it, and dust.
It is obviously very strange for a woman to live in such a place.
Li Chengfei didn't feel anything inappropriate at this time, everything seemed to come naturally.
He followed the woman to a room and sat down cross-legged in front of a short table.
The room was dilapidated, with no doors or windows. There was even a big hole in the roof, and the moonlight could be seen pouring down.
Li Chengfei lowered his head and suddenly discovered that the woman's white clothes were actually Xiaoyi. He had followed her all the way here and didn't notice this.
"Madam, this is..."
"A few days ago, my husband died! He died unjustly! Both of us, husband and wife, grew up in this mountain. We have never walked out of this forest. We have been practicing hard every day, just to be able to reborn and achieve success.
Becoming an Immortal. We have experienced life and death countless times, and after hundreds of years of hard work, we finally have the opportunity to be reborn..."
The woman in white chatted eloquently, telling the story of their couple, and the expression on her face changed with the story, either happy or sad.
"It's true that the emperor has paid off!" Li Chengfei sighed with emotion and was also happy for them.
"The Emperor is worthy of his hard work? Haha! The Emperor has no eyes!"
The woman in white smiled sadly and changed her tone.
"We worked so hard, but something went wrong at the last moment of rebirth. Everything went smoothly for me, and I was able to reborn as a human being. But my husband, because of too much killing karma, had a mental block. I pity him for committing killing karma,
This is all so that we and our husband can have enough to eat and hunt for survival. Our husband and wife follow the path of Buddhism. We all know that creating killing karma will be a big obstacle to our future path to immortality. My husband therefore
He never let me get involved in killing. Every time he hunted, he would do it and then feed it to me..."
Li Chengfei didn't know why, but he felt a little uneasy, but the love between husband and wife mentioned by the woman in white also made him feel touched and envious.
"You and your wife are truly deeply in love!"
"Yes, we have been dependent on each other for hundreds of years and have a deep love as husband and wife! We can give our lives for each other!"
The woman in white spoke in an unusually firm tone, stared at Li Chengfei coldly, and leaned forward.
The chill in Li Chengfei's heart deepened, and a trace of fear arose.
"Originally, I was already able to ascend to immortality. However, I suppressed it and wanted to wait for my husband. My husband, he really tried his best, but he was stuck at the last moment, halfway through his transformation, and it was extremely difficult every day.
"
"I feel sorry for him! In the past, he hunted for me. Now, it is me who hunts for him. However, he is reluctant to let me go. He would rather endure hunger than let me get involved in killing at the last moment."
"We hid in the cave without seeing other living beings just to prevent any accident from happening at the last moment and causing us to fail. But, the accident happened."
"On this day, a villain pushed down two baits. I didn't know what the plan was and ate the bait. My husband endured it for many days and was on the verge of collapse. He smelled the smell of prey and couldn't control it. He rose up and went
Chase down the evil man."
"That evil man used a trick, threw down his magic weapon, and killed my husband! I want to avenge my husband! Revenge!"
The voice of the woman in white became more and more shrill, full of hatred and anger.
Li Chengfei sat there, confused, moved by the story, immersed in it, infected by the deep sadness of the woman in white, motionless, and seemed to have forgotten to think.
The woman in white came closer to him, bending her body... Reflected by the moonlight, the shadow on the ground looked like a big snake, and the big snake was opening its mouth...
But Li Chengfei remained motionless.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
At this time, there was a rapid sound of birdsong.
A bird suddenly flew in from the outside and hit the gap in the roof. It made a "click" sound, like glass breaking.
That's a big magpie!
After breaking through the invisible barrier of the roof gap, it fell from the roof with a bloody head and fell to Li Chengfei's feet.
This sudden movement suddenly woke Li Chengfei up.
Li Chengfei seemed to suddenly wake up from a deep sleep. There was no woman in white in front of him?
He was indeed in a dilapidated house, but the house only had broken walls and cobwebs.
Opposite was not a woman in white, but a large snake with two short horns on its head.
The upper half of the snake's body was protruding, revealing its ferocious fangs. Xinzi swallowed and opened his mouth wide, trying to swallow Li Chengfei.
"ah!"
Li Chengfei exclaimed in fright.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
The big magpie on the ground suddenly tried its best to fly again.
The big snake just opened its mouth and bit into it, biting the big magpie in one bite.
"Big Magpie!"
Li Chengfei felt sad.
This big magpie is one of the two big magpies he rescued.
These two days, these two big magpies were by his side every day. When he was taking a nap, the big magpies were jumping under his feet and pecking at his feet, or standing on his shoulders. When he was cooking, the big magpies were standing on the window and flying.
Flying up and down; in the morning, the big magpie was like an alarm clock, chirping gracefully outside the window, waking him up...
Today, the big magpie led the tribe and saved him more than once.
Now, it was because of him, in order to repay his kindness, that he was eaten by this big snake.
These thoughts passed by in a flash. Li Chengfei didn't have time to be too sad, and he didn't have time to be too sad. Everything turned into anger in an instant. He took out the shotgun and fired with a bang.
The light and shadow dispersed, and the big snake disappeared.
Li Chengfei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
This big snake is no ordinary big snake!
He thought of what the woman in white said just now... Could it be that this big snake has been reborn and can ascend to immortality after attaining enlightenment?
Thinking about it just now, when he followed this woman in, everything was simply inexplicable.
With his intelligence and knowledge, he shouldn't have made such a childish mistake and fallen into such a childish trap.
The woman in white must have used some kind of illusion or confusion spell.
So, wouldn't he be in trouble today?
The moment the big snake disappeared, the surrounding fog quickly rose again.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
There are urgent birdsong again.
Li Chengfei saw another big magpie flying eagerly outside the house, reminding Li Chengfei.
There was sadness in its cry.
Li Chengfei felt guilty in his heart.
These two giant magpies are also husband and wife, and they can sacrifice their lives for each other. In order to protect each other from being hunted by the eagle, they dared to hit the eagle with their bodies...
Now, a big magpie died trying to save him.
Li Chengfei took long strides and ran forward with the big magpie. This chapter has been completed!
