Orochi Longevity

Chapter 15 A Preliminary Exploration of Hebo

The flower boat flutters and rises on the water waves, but it is always stable.

It was heading somewhere at a not-so-slow speed, being carried by the water waves.

The snake put all its energy into it, controlled every bone and flesh in its body, tried its best to maintain balance, and prevented itself from being washed away by the churning water.

It will follow the flower boat closely and never leave it.

The flower boat was in turmoil, making the bride uneasy:

"Sister Hong..."

But as soon as she yelled, the male disciple scolded her head and face:

"Shut up! I'm already upset, but I'm still calling my sister, who is your sister?"

"I get annoyed when I think about it. If you want a yellow-haired girl in the past, you can buy it for a few pennies. Your old woman insists on asking for two hundred silver, and she doesn't even look at your matchstick-like body. Is it worth two hundred silver?"

Xu was too surprised, the snake did not hear the bride's response.

For the rest of the journey, only Liu Cuihong chatted with her male disciple.

"...Go, stand beside her and don't let her move."

"By the way, search her. Don't be like last time, carrying a dagger and running around. Let's find it hard..."

last time?

Miss Gu?

The snake keenly caught the sound in his ear, and his heart moved slightly.

When it woke up from dormancy, it heard Erya tell the story of this person.

Gu Xiaomei was the bride who took the initiative to stand up last winter and went to Hebo Cave Mansion to find the eldest sister.

She had sworn in the snow that she would send the news back no matter what she went on this trip.

Later, Liu Cuihong really brought back her message.

It's just that there are rumors that the Gu family thinks that the message Liu Cuihong brought back is false, and they are planning to move the whole family.

To be honest, the snake is quite fond of this man.

It likes to listen to stories, and is especially interested and fond of the protagonists with distinctive personalities in the stories.

The first time I heard Gu Xiaomei swearing in the snow, the snake seemed to have seen the scene at that time.

This made it have a good impression of this woman he had never met before.

So when Liu Cuihong talked about this person, the snake put its head close to the boat, wanting to listen carefully.

It's a pity that the two of them stopped abruptly after half a sentence, and they didn't talk more.

Snake can only piece together the story about Gu Xiaomei after boarding the ship with words and phrases.

This Liu Cuihong is the same as the former, and the latter is the same.

Before the bride boarded the boat, the soft words made people dizzy.

But once the tide surged and the flower boat sailed out of the sight of the villagers, she showed her true nature and kept cursing.

It should be the same when Gu Xiaomei boarded the boat that day.

But Gu Xiaomei had been vigilant for a long time, and secretly hid a dagger on her body, which caused a lot of trouble for the two of them.

Later, she even looked for opportunities and somehow escaped from Liu Cuihong's grasp.

It's just that Liu Cuihong spent some time, but still found it.

The river is rushing as if consciously, and the flower boat is lifted through various dark passages.

Some waterways in the back are even connected to mountain caves. The caves are narrow and dark, and it is difficult for ordinary people to pass through.

The snake followed all the way, and secretly remembered the way down.

People often say that snakes are cold-blooded animals, and they can't be raised well. They think that snakes have no memory and will forget what happened before in a blink of an eye.

but it is not the truth.

The snake is a creature with a good memory and a strong vengeance.

If someone provokes it, it can even lie dormant for many years, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

After transforming into Baojiaxian, Snake's memory has been strengthened several times.

In addition, it is a cave creature, so no matter how complicated the undercurrent is, it can still remember it clearly.

After about half the time of burning incense, the flower boat docked in the water cave.

A damp and foul smell rushed towards him from the darkness.

"Finally here...this damn place still smells so bad."

Liu Cuihong frowned and pinched her nose, her impatient voice echoed in the cave.

"Hurry up and finish your work and go back quickly."

She took out the fire folder, and together with the male disciples took the bride off the boat and walked into the darkness together.

The snake also took the opportunity to climb up the wet stone ground and continued to follow.

Footsteps echoed in the water hole.

After a while, the bride finally spoke.

"Sister Hong...you lied to me in what you said earlier, right?"

Her voice sounded calm.

Liu Cuihong didn't answer, but the man next to her seemed interested.

"You follow us to take a look and you'll know?"

There was an indescribable weirdness in the male disciple's words:

"Little girl, what does it matter if you cheat or not? You have already arrived here, can you still escape?"

"I can tell you, it's not that the girl in front of you never thought about running away, but can she run away? I don't even think about whose territory this is."

"Her fate now...hehe."

His threats and beatings had originally thought that Chunni would panic and resist.

Unexpectedly, Chunni just followed them into the darkness obediently:

"I'm not running."

Liu Cuihong frowned slightly, and stopped.

At the same time, the snake also stopped swimming immediately, as if it were a dead thing.

"You are not afraid?"

Chunni smiled lightly, very calmly:

"Where can I go if I run away?"

There was another silence, and the sound of footsteps echoed.

"Let's go."

Liu Cuihong continued to lead the way.

The snake followed them, moving slowly through the intricate water holes.

As they walked deeper and deeper, the stench was almost in sight.

After an unknown amount of time, the snake heard Liu Cuihong's relieved voice:

"finally reached."

The snake looked up, only to see a faint light appearing in front of the pitch-black water hole.

Liu Cuihong and the two immediately held the bride hostage, and walked quickly towards the bright cave.

Worried about exposing itself, the snake cautiously approached the deep hole ahead.

"...Master, the bride is here."

Liu Cuihong seemed to be apologizing to someone.

"...Aren't you afraid of me?"

A sticky male voice seemed to come out of his throat, and he seemed to be ignoring Liu Cuihong, talking to the bride.

The voice of this person is very uncomfortable, and there is an indescribable strange feeling.

It sounded like an elderly man with phlegm stuck in his throat.

It must be He Bo!

The snake was shocked and continued to swim forward.

"Not afraid."

Although the bride replied in this way, her voice trembled slightly.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Strange laughter came from the cave:

"really interesting."

The snake noticed that He Bo's voice rose a little, and seemed to be in a good mood:

"Come here, let me see you closer."

After a while, the snake heard the slow footsteps.

Then, there was another strange noise.

Like the sound of saliva.

At this time, the snake was already close to the entrance of the deep cave, and it poked its head out cautiously, trying to see clearly who the holy master He Bo was.

The light in the deep cave seems to be brought by some kind of fluorite.

Its light is dim, weak.

Snake first saw Liu Cuihong and her male disciple, they were standing very close to the entrance of the cave, they both lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to look straight ahead.

Especially the male disciple, who didn't even dare to vent his anger.

Liu Cuihong breathed calmly:

"Master, since we have delivered the person, let's go back first."

There is a stone chair directly in front of the two of them.

There seemed to be an extremely obese person sitting on the chair. The snake's vision was blocked and he couldn't see clearly.

"Um."

He Bo muttered the answer.

"That box..."

Liu Cuihong asked again.

"The box stays."

"... But, but, master, you don't need those things either."

"I'm He Bo, so of course I need those things. What's more, now I have a beautiful wife. Even if I can't use it, my beautiful wife can still use it."
