Orochi Longevity

The snake manipulated the white-clothed scholar all the way down Heifeng Mountain, passed through the noisy crowd, and arrived in front of the main gate of Guanyin Temple.

It looked through the wide portal, and saw that there was still a bustling crowd of people, all of whom were worshiping the Bodhisattva statue and reciting Buddhist scriptures.

In the Zen courtyard, fireworks were lingering, and the strong smell of incense came to the face. After bathing in the incense, it felt a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, and its mood also became quiet.

The snake quietly hid among the crowd, quietly staring at the Bodhisattva statue.

After a long time, the snake spat out the letter and licked its dry lips.

It seems to have made a decision.

Immediately afterwards, it strode forward and stepped directly into it.

The snake holds the jade token thrown to it by Shi Jun in its hand, and it suspects that the jade token can monitor its existence to a certain extent. If it returns to Liujia Village with Yu Ling, it may immediately expose its true identity, which is something it is absolutely unwilling to face.

Therefore, Snake does not intend to return to Liujia Village.

At the same time, there is another very important thing why it stayed in Heifeng Mountain.

When it first heard the girl talk about the legend of Journey to the West, it came to Heifeng Mountain without hesitation. One of the most important reasons was to find out whether the fate of this era was exactly the same as the legend of Journey to the West.

There are two doubts in the snake's heart.

First, whether the records of Journey to the West are correct or not.

Second, now that it knows the direction of the story in advance, if it intervenes to change the people and events in the story, can it change the ending?

In other words, there are so many powerful spiritual treasures recorded in the legend of Journey to the West...whether it has the opportunity to snatch the opportunity of heaven and earth like an invisible thing.

Thinking of this, the snake's eyes were deep.

It stepped into the interior of the Guanyin Temple, but saw that many monks in the temple were all absent-minded, and the young monks seemed to be completely out of the previous state of vigour.

The statue of Buddha enshrined in the center of the main hall emits soft light under the sunlight, illuminating the entire hall.

At this time, the gentleman in white approached the statue slowly, bowed his head and saluted respectfully, as if he was worshiping the statue of a Bodhisattva.

"Namo Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."

It imitated the pilgrims coming and going in the Guanyin Temple, went to the little novice to get a few sticks of incense sticks, and then came to worship in front of the Guanyin statue.

The snake didn't pray for anything, but felt that all kinds of tedious thoughts in its head were chaotic and chaotic, which made it extremely irritable and depressed.

When it sees pilgrims with peaceful faces, it imitates their movements, trying to calm itself down.

Too many things have happened recently, and the snake has gradually learned more about the world, but the more it knows, the more helpless it feels.

It has a fire in its heart, a fire that wants to burn up the so-called destiny.

However, it knows that's not realistic.

The destiny cannot be resisted, no matter how angry you are, you can only hold it in your heart and cannot take action.

Therefore, it can only rely on the strength of others to achieve its own goals.

The cat demon who is a reverser, and the girl who returned to the present from a thousand years later is its reliance.

The snake has decided that it will become a reverser, and it will disturb the original arrangement of this world. It wants to seek opportunities to snatch opportunities and make itself stronger, so strong that it doesn't have to be afraid of the so-called destiny and gods and Buddhas.

It will never become a puppet of destiny and be arranged by others.

The snake lit a few sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner. Seeing the green smoke curling up, the huge Guanyin Buddha statue looked at it with compassion, and the snake's restless mood really improved.

It relaxed in its heart, and slowly walked to a young novice monk, expressing that he wanted to see Elder Jinchi.

The little novice stared at the white-clothed gentleman for a while, then suddenly slapped his head, showing a surprised expression:

"You...you are Grandpa Ling Xuzi's friend, we had dinner together before."

"Are you here to visit the elder? Great!...I'll report to the elder right now."

Before the lady in white could respond, the little novice ran to the back room with a happy face.

The snake suddenly had no choice but to wait on the spot.

After a while, the little novice came back, but with a dejected face, he said to the gentleman in white:

"Elder Jin Chi is not in good health today and is resting in his room, so he is really unable to receive guests."

"...Why don't I take grandpa to live in the courtyard first, and wait for the elder to recover before entertaining you well..."

"Grandpa, please go this way."

The little novice quickly led the gentleman in white along the winding steps to a hut behind the Guanyin Temple.

"Grandpa, please stay here for now."

The scholar in white nodded, opened the door and walked into the hut.

The little novice quickly nodded and left, looking preoccupied.

The white-clothed scholar relaxed and looked up at his surroundings.

This hut is extremely simple and shabby, except for a bed, there is only a futon, a low table, and a pot of crane orchids in the corner, and there is nothing else.

The snake couldn't help nodding, it liked such an elegant and simple environment. The most important thing is that this house is located in the back hill of Guanyin Temple, very quiet and remote, away from the crowds and not easily disturbed by others.

This allows him to relax and calm down to think.

Before leaving Heifeng Mountain, the snake once asked the black bear spirit, and the black bear spirit told it that Master Xuanzang had left Chang'an.

According to what the girl said before, he should soon come to the border of southern Yunnan and live in the Guanyin Temple.

... As long as Master Xuanzang and his disciples come to the Guanyin Temple, it can use its methods to get a glimpse of the secret.

There is a lot of time left, just be patient.

So the white-clothed scholar came to the bed, sat on the bed to rest for a while, and suddenly frowned slightly.

He vaguely sensed that someone was watching him.

"Who?" He opened his eyes suddenly and looked around.

He found no one in the room.

Strange, someone was spying on him just now, why can't there be any trace now?

The white-clothed scholar frowned. He got up to move his muscles and bones, but he felt sore all over his body.

Obviously the injury worsened last night, making it difficult for him to move now.

"Is it a hallucination?"

He murmured, then sat cross-legged on the bed.

This time, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Of course, when it goes dormant today, it doesn't fall into a state of lethargy.

It exuded a trace of fairy energy and found a wild snake in the mountain, always lurking in the dark, aware of every move around.

As long as there is movement around, it can wake up immediately.

When he fell into a dormant state, the little novice who had brought him to the remote hut knocked on the door several times.

He came several times to deliver some food and daily necessities.

Although the snake often did not respond in time, he was very patient.

Later, the novice came to the door and told it that Elder Jin Chi had recovered from his illness and could go to visit him.

Snake then manipulated the elegant man in white to meet Elder Jinchi, but they were not as familiar as Snake and Ling Xuzi, and they only said a few words of old time before saying goodbye.

The snake returned to the hut and went into hibernation again.

This sleep, I don't know the time.

I don't know how long it has passed, until there was a commotion in my ears, and the white-clothed scholar woke up faintly.
