When I heard this, I hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran out in a hurry.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the old Taoist priest sweating profusely and panting.
"Old Taoist priest, what happened to my parents?" I asked nervously.
"Your parents were holding your grandfather's bones and wanted to go down the mountain. Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by snakes and couldn't get down at all." The old Taoist priest said anxiously.
"What?" My eyes opened wider than my pupils.
"Quick, follow me." The old Taoist priest said, dragging me and running outside.
At this time, I was extremely anxious. I was in a panic. My steps were unsteady. I lost my balance and fell heavily to the ground.
"Bah." A layer of skin was scratched on my palm, and blood poured out.
"Girl from the Jiang family, are you okay?" The old Taoist priest hurriedly reached out to help me.
"No, it's okay." I shook my head and stood up, but the tears in my eyes kept rolling, it was really painful.
"Let's go." I said and ran outside.
The old village chief also quickly followed.
I didn't notice at this time that a few drops of blood were shed on the ground when I just fell to the ground.
I had just walked out of the old Taoist priest's house, and soon many snakes crawled out one after another on the road, spitting out scarlet snakes and swarming toward me.
Only then did I realize that my palms were still faintly bloodshot, and I hurriedly retracted my hands back into my sleeves, tightly holding on to the cuffs.
I couldn't bleed, but I forgot about this.
At this time, the snakes were approaching step by step, and their glowing green eyes were staring straight at my injured palm.
"Oh my god, what is going on?" The old Taoist priest was also frightened. He took out garlic from his arms and threw it into the group of snakes.
The snakes quickly avoided the garlic and continued to crawl outside.
"This, it didn't work this time?" The old Taoist priest was also anxious. He took out the glutinous rice from his arms and threw it towards the snakes.
This time the snakes reacted slightly and stopped slightly.
But soon, the snakes swarmed up again.
"Girl from the Jiang family, what's going on now?" The old Taoist priest was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat.
I knew it was because my hand was injured, so I quickly distanced myself from the old Taoist priest and said:
"Taoist, please leave me alone and go back to the house first."
"This..." The old Taoist priest seemed a little hesitant.
"Come into the house quickly, I'm fine." I urged the old Taoist priest to leave as soon as possible.
Fortunately, we haven't left for long. If the old Taoist priest is allowed to go back, there may be a glimmer of hope.
The old Taoist priest's house also enshrines the mountain god. With him guarding it, those snakes will definitely not dare to enter.
After all, even a powerful snake king like Bai Haotian can't get in, let alone these ordinary snakes who have not yet become refined.
Those snakes seemed to understand what I said, and they actually made way for me.
"Taoist, go quickly." I shouted.
I know that the target of those snakes is me, and the others don't matter.
"Girl from the Jiang family, I'm sorry for you." As he said this, the old Taoist priest turned around and ran away.
As soon as the old Taoist priest left, the snakes swarmed up even more unscrupulously.
I swallowed, and it seemed that now I could only ask Bai Haotian for help.
I raised my head and shouted: "Bai Haotian, save me."
Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of my eyes, and then there was a majestic and stern voice, "Don't back down yet."
The group of snakes that were still surging immediately retreated obediently, and quickly crawled back into the surrounding grass and disappeared.
"What's going on?" Bai Haotian glanced at me coldly, obviously very unhappy.
"I...I accidentally fell down just now and scratched the skin on my palm."
I felt a little aggrieved and opened my mouth to explain.
Bai Haotian's dark green eyes narrowed slightly and he said coldly:
"You are really stupid." As he said this, he pulled the fabric from his clothes and bandaged my wound.
I looked at Bai Haotian in front of me with mixed feelings in my heart.
If you say you hate him, then you feel that it was grandpa's fault in the first place for killing the person he loved.
If you don't hate him, then grandpa, me, my parents, and the people in the village who died innocently and tragically are related to him.
At this point, I don't know what attitude I should take towards the snake king in front of me who came to take revenge.
"Why are you looking at me with such weird eyes?" Bai Haotian frowned slightly.
I quickly came to my senses and said with a pleading tone:
"I promise to be your disciple from now on and serve you my whole life. Can you please let my grandfather and my family go?"
Bai Haotian gave me a cold look at first, as if he understood something, and said coldly:
"It's not my fault that your parents are trapped in the back mountain. Your grandfather killed so many snakes, and now their descendants are coming to him for revenge. Naturally, it is impossible for him to leave so easily."
When I hear this, does it mean that this incident has nothing to do with him?
I don't know why, but I feel a little happy in my heart.
"You...can you help me?" I said subconsciously.
Bai Haotian, who was still holding my hand, suddenly let go of my hand, turned his back to me, and said in an indifferent tone: "This matter has nothing to do with me."
I reached out and took Bai Haotian's hand again and said, "If you help me once, just think that I owe you a favor. When the time comes, I will go through fire and water to repay the favor to you, how about that?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I said these words, Bai Haotian actually turned around and looked at me and said, "Really?"
I nodded and said, "Really."
At this time, I only wanted to save my grandfather and parents, but I couldn't take care of so much.
"Very good, this is what you said. I hope you won't regret it." Bai Haotian's tone was still cold, but his facial expression softened a lot.
"I have no regrets." I vowed.
"Then let's go."
With that said, Bai Haotian pulled me towards the back mountain.
I was very happy, it seemed that he was willing to help me.
When Bai Haotian and I arrived at the back mountain, we saw my parents surrounded by a group of snakes from a distance, and my dad was still holding a wooden box tightly in his hands.
I know that it must contain the remains of my grandfather.
I wanted to shout, but Bai Haotian stretched out his hand to stop me and said, "Don't disturb them."
I nodded to express my understanding.
I'm very curious, since Bai Haotian is the snake king, why doesn't he just speak domineeringly like he did just now to scare the snakes.
Suddenly I felt a lightness in my body, and I was immediately picked up by Bai Haotian.
I was startled, and when I looked down, we were already about ten meters above the ground. I was so frightened that I stretched out my arms and hugged Bai Haotian's neck.
"You, what are you doing?" I asked tremblingly.
"Stand firm." Bai Haotian said.
Only then did I realize that the two of us were already standing on a large banyan tree more than ten meters high.
Because the banyan tree is extremely tall, standing here I can clearly see everything happening below.
The leaves of the banyan tree are very dense, making it a good hiding place.
"Wait for me here. I'll come back as soon as I go." As he said this, Bai Haotian stretched out his hand to signal me to let go of the hand that was still holding his neck.
Only then did I realize that most of my body was lying on Bai Haotian's body, and my face instantly turned red.
I quickly let go of my hand and hugged the thick tree trunk beside me to prevent myself from falling.
"Hide." After Bai Haotian said this, he turned around and disappeared.
"Hey, I..." When I was about to say something, I found that Bai Haotian had already appeared among the snakes.
I immediately closed my mouth and stared straight down.
When the group of snakes saw Bai Haotian appear, they immediately retreated quickly, as if they were very afraid of him.
My parents were frightened half to death when they saw Bai Haotian suddenly appeared, and their whole bodies were trembling.
Bai Haotian waved his hand, and my parents fainted and fell to the ground.
"Dad, Mom." My heart tightened slightly and I was about to shout.
But I found Bai Haotian looking at me at this time, and I was so frightened that I shut my mouth instantly.
I know that he asked me not to make any noise in case I was discovered.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew directly towards Bai Haotian, and a sharp long sword stabbed directly into his chest.
I was so frightened that I was about to scream, but the next second, Bai Haotian made a beautiful drift and avoided the opponent's attack.
The black shadow refused to give up, turned back again, and stabbed him with another arrow.
Bai Haotian quickly sidestepped and grabbed the opponent's arm.
At this time, I also saw the black shadow clearly, and I was so frightened that I almost fell down from the tree.
