"Grandpa." I opened my eyes suddenly and met a wrinkled face.
I was so frightened that I jumped up from the bed. Only then did I realize that I had returned to the old Taoist priest's house, and the person in front of me was the goddess.
"Are you awake?" the goddess said coldly, with a hint of coldness in her tone.
"Where are my parents?" I looked around and found no sign of my parents, and I immediately became worried.
"They are busy relocating your grandpa, and he hasn't come back yet." The goddess's tone was still cold, and she was folding yellow paper with her head down, not looking at me at all.
Seeing the goddess's attitude towards me, I thought to myself, it seems that I have never offended her.
grandfather?
I suddenly looked at Goddess and said, "Goddess, who is my grandfather?"
The goddess looked at me and said: "Your grandfather's coffin has been destroyed, and the bones need to be temporarily collected. Then we will find a time to bury him again."
"What?" I trembled, remembering Bai Haotian's words before.
Could this be another calamity for my grandfather?
"Then, then my grandfather's soul..." I said tentatively.
The Goddess sighed heavily and said: "This is what your grandfather owes Lord Snake. He has only been able to endure the bone-eroding pain of being chewed by snake fists for ten years. It is already an advantage for him not to let his soul go to pieces."
"..." I choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
Therefore, all this has something to do with Bai Haotian.
Seeing me like this, the goddess said quietly: "If this were the past, anyone who offended the Snake King would have suffered the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation and would never be reincarnated. Your grandfather..."
At this time, I couldn't listen to what the goddess was saying at all. I only knew in my heart that everything that happened to my grandfather now happened because of Bai Haotian.
Isn’t one life worth one life?
The worst case scenario would be to take my life.
The goddess talked for a long time, but when she saw that I still didn't respond, she stood up, put away the folded yellow paper, handed me a small wooden box and said:
"Take this. From now on, three pillars of fragrance will serve you every day. Don't make any mistakes."
"What?" I lowered my head slightly to look at the box in my arms, and subconsciously opened it. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a tablet.
I didn't have time to read the words clearly, so I shivered and threw it out.
"What, what is this?" My face became a little ugly.
"This is the tablet you want to enshrine Lord Snake. How can you throw it away at will?" the goddess said, clasping her hands together, worshiping towards the tablet, then she picked it up with both hands, and then put it in my hand again.
:
"Since you have become Lord Snake's disciple, you will naturally enshrine him with incense and help him practice."
When I heard it was Bai Haotian, I lowered my head and saw the five characters "Liu Xian Bai Haotian" written on it.
I didn't expect that a snake spirit like Bai Haotian could be called an immortal and be enjoyed and worshiped.
Suddenly feeling angry, he threw the tablet out and said:
"He was the one who killed my grandfather, so I won't worship him."
When the goddess saw this, she stamped her feet fiercely and shouted: "What a sin." After saying that, the goddess picked up Bai Haotian's tablet again and put it aside, and worshiped three times devoutly.
The goddess turned her head, looked at me coldly and said:
"Do you know the consequences of offending Lord Snake?"
"The worst case scenario is death. What's there to be afraid of?" I snorted coldly.
At this time, I had made up my mind that I didn't want to pay attention to Bai Haotian's snake spirit.
Seeing me like this, the goddess shook her head helplessly and said:
"You're not afraid anymore, but where are your parents?"
When I heard the goddess mention my parents, I was stunned. I looked up at the goddess and said:
"Goddess, why did my grandfather kill the person Snake Lord liked?"
Now that this is the case, I have to know what is going on.
The goddess was stunned for a moment, her face looked a bit unnatural, she shook her head and said, "I don't know much about this either."
"Goddess, please, just tell me, okay?" I pretended to be pitiful.
Because it can be seen from the words of the goddess that she must know something.
If this matter is not clear, I will always be thinking about it in my heart.
Seeing that the goddess was still unwilling to speak, I continued:
"I know it was my grandfather who caused the Snake Master's favorite to be unable to survive the calamity and ascend to the heavens. But how could my grandfather, a mortal, harm the Immortal Family?"
The goddess was stunned, looked at me slightly surprised and said:
"How do you know that your grandfather made it impossible for the Immortal family to overcome the calamity and ascend?"
"It's Bai Haotian who said that." I directly carried Bai Haotian out.
"Did he really tell you?" the goddess said with a slightly hesitant expression.
I nodded sharply and said, "Really."
The goddess sighed heavily and said:
"Hey, since you already know part of it, I'll just tell you everything."
As the goddess spoke, she sat on a stool nearby and started talking.
It turns out that my parents had been married for many years and still had nothing to come up with.
The two went to the hospital for a check-up, and both of them were in good health, but they just couldn't conceive a child.
My grandma also passed away in depression all day long because she could not hold her grandson.
My grandfather later heard someone say that there is a cliff in the back mountain, where occasionally very high-level phoenixes are reborn from nirvana.
If you are lucky, you can get the most beautiful feather from the Nirvana Phoenix and put it under the woman's pillow, and the woman can become pregnant.
In order for the Jiang family to continue to have descendants, my grandfather was ready to take the risk.
As a result, my grandfather only walked halfway when he noticed that the sky was covered with dark clouds and there was constant thunder and lightning.
The more such visions there are, the greater the hope.
My grandfather stumbled to the top of the mountain with a grandson in his heart.
But by this time, the weather had cleared up, the dark clouds had dispersed, the thunder and lightning had stopped, and a colorful rainbow appeared in the sky.
When my grandfather was sighing, he suddenly found a dying phoenix lying on the ground not far away.
My grandfather knew that it was the phoenix that had just been reborn from nirvana, so he hurried over and plucked out one of the brightest feathers on the phoenix's head, and then sneaked down the mountain.
But how did he know that the extremely bright feathers on the head of the reborn phoenix were the crucial crest.
Once it is lost, its cultivation will be completely destroyed.
The phoenix that lost its cultivation naturally failed to overcome the tribulation, and then fed to the wild wolves in the mountains.
And my mother fell pregnant with me soon after sleeping with that feather crown on her head for a while.
When I heard this, I was immediately shocked.
I never thought that I would end up like this.
wrong.
That means that the person Bai Haotian loves most is the phoenix that failed to overcome the tribulation, which is also the 'Feather Emperor' in the mouth of the female snake spirit.
Can a snake still fall in love with a phoenix?
I was shocked myself.
Is this a hybrid?
"So, this is why Bai Haotian took revenge on my grandfather?" I opened my mouth and looked at the goddess.
The goddess nodded and said:
"Your grandfather deserves it. He killed so many snakes in his life, killed the phoenix that was reborn from nirvana, and offended Lord Snake. This is retribution."
I didn't say anything for a while, because I also believed in the so-called "karma" in my heart.
I remember that when my grandfather died, he kept saying: 'One life is worth one life'.
It's just that he underestimated Snake Lord's revenge.
"Then didn't my grandfather specially invite Snake Lord back to worship him before? Why do I still have to suffer retaliation?" I spoke again.
The goddess' face darkened, and then she said helplessly: "It's your grandpa's fault. When he invited Lord Snake Lord, he invited the wrong god and invited Lord Black Python back."
Black Python Demon Lord?
I was slightly startled.
Could it be that he was talking about Xuanyuan Ye's giant black python.
"Girl, remember, Lord Snake's tablet must be worshiped alive. This is atonement for your grandfather's sins. I hope you can get forgiveness from Lord Snake, spare your grandfather's soul, and let him reincarnate in peace."
The goddess spoke again.
"Yeah." I nodded and said, "I know, I will."
I don't know why, but now I don't reject Bai Haotian so much.
After all, it was because of me that he killed the person he loved, so it is natural for him to seek revenge.
"Remember, don't take off the phoenix jade pendant around your neck, otherwise you will be haunted by the snake king."
The goddess suddenly spoke.
I looked down and found that the phoenix jade pendant was already hanging around my neck.
I immediately understood the meaning of her words, so as long as I wear this phoenix jade pendant with me, Bai Haotian will not be able to haunt me?
I stretched out my hand and held the jade pendant tightly in my hand.
After the goddess left, I hesitated for a moment and took Bai Haotian's tablet over.
He looked at the name above and sighed:
"Since this happened because of me, I will worship you alive and pay off my grandfather's debt."
Unexpectedly, as soon as I said my words, the tablet actually shook, and I was so frightened that I threw it out.
But there was no response for a while, so I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, there was an anxious knock on the door from the old Taoist priest.
"Girl from the Jiang family, get up quickly. Something happened to your parents."
