Green snake

After the fire burned out, the Four Seas Inn became a flat land.

The only thing that didn't burn was the giant eagle.It kept lying on the spot in the posture it had just been beaten to death, and its whole body was burned into a piece of black charcoal.Someone tried throwing a rock at it.The moment it was hit by a stone, the charred body collapsed and scattered, turning into a pile of fine ashes.

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak at all—the death of those monsters on the mountain behind Qiqiao Town was exactly the same as this giant eagle!

Was Chu Qingdeng the murderer who killed those monsters? !

I let out a long breath.In any case, my suspicions are cleared.

Xiaoqing clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Chu Qingdeng of Yuxiao Palace? I remember it." I asked, "Are you going to seek revenge on him?" But he shook his head, "I'm not His opponent. Sooner or later—"

He looked down at his hands, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"I will report this matter to the Demon Emperor, and there should be no monsters chasing you again in the future."

"it is good."

Obviously, a major event has been settled, but I am not happy at all.Not only because "You Lan" was snatched by Chu Qingdeng, but also because I suddenly discovered that Master's past was much more complicated than I imagined.

What is the relationship between that Chu Qingdeng... and Master?Why is Master's favorite flute actually made by that domineering guy who kills monsters without blinking an eye?

What exactly has Master experienced before?

"You probably don't want to see me again, either."

I didn't expect Xiaoqing to say this, and I was speechless for a moment.He walked very crisply.Entering a deserted alley, turned around and turned back into a snake.

"Hey, wait--hey! I have something to do--" I rushed to the alley and shouted at the gap he just slipped in: "Come out, I have something to ask you! Do you know a big one? A very long white snake?"

After calling for a long time, Xiaoqing never appeared again.

I rested overnight in that small town.The first thing after getting up is to ask the innkeeper for directions.The boss said that there is still half a month's journey from this small town to Wanren City.So I bought a horse, prepared enough dry food and water, and headed for Kunlun Mountain with the stars and the moon.For some reason, I always feel that something important is waiting for me there.

On the third day, the flat road turned into a mountain road, and the road rose sharply, and it became colder and colder as we walked.The burden behind him suddenly became heavy.When I stopped to rest at night, I opened it and saw that there was a snake coiled in the middle of the clothes I bought for a change of clothes, sleeping soundly.

This guy--

I picked up dead branches and made a fire to roast dry food, and hung him over the fire to roast.

"Hiss, hiss—it's hot!" Xiaoqing's whole body tensed up suddenly, and she flew out of my hand like an arrow, landing half a foot away from the fire.As soon as he landed, he immediately jumped back to the fire, "Leng Leng Leng—"

He swished into a human form, and stretched out his hands to warm himself.

"Can you take me on the road together? It's so cold in this damn place, I want to sleep away from the fire, and I can't walk at all..." He looked at me with a smile, "When I get to Kunlun Mountain, I might think of you Where is the white snake you were looking for?"

I decided not to talk to him and lay down to sleep by myself.

That night, I dreamed of my master again.I almost wept with joy - after that "goodbye" I thought I'd never dream about him again.

He was wearing a loose white robe and standing in a small courtyard with verdant trees, trimming dead flower branches with scissors.I shouted: "Master! Master!"

He looked back at me and suddenly smiled.

"You're back?"

The whole world collapsed in an instant.

I gasped for breath, and the cold wind filled my mouth and nose with fine dust.

Xiaoqing asked in a puzzled voice, "Master? So you, a rookie like you, have a master?"

I sat up silently, too lazy to answer.Xiaoqing probably had enough sleep during the day, and at this time she looked so energetic that she wanted to fight with someone.He suddenly realized: "Your master is Yun Shaojun? No wonder that flute is in your hands. What about others?"

I answered frankly: "I don't know. I also want to know where he is. Xiaoqing," I don't know why, I suddenly wanted to talk to him, "Your friends—have you ever dreamed about them?"

Xiaoqing was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I want to dream about them too. Even if it's just to take a look, let me take a look. Why do you ask this suddenly?"

I said, "Nothing, I'm just curious why you want to avenge them."

"My friend. If you were killed, I will avenge you in the same way."

I froze.He treats me as a friend?

"Hmph, forget it." He seemed to have seen through my thoughts, and sneered: "When you pushed me away in the inn, I actually thought you were different from other monster catchers. It seems that I was thinking too much .”

As he spoke, he changed back into a snake body, and got back into the burden again.
