Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 474 Are all these Changsha snake demons surnamed Cao?

call……

A gust of wind blew across the streets of Changsha City, and the vendors and pedestrians on both sides of the street squatted down one by one, unable to open their eyes.

In fact, if they could open their eyes, they would find that amidst the sudden gust of wind, a thick white boa constrictor could be vaguely seen.

"Humph!"

The white boa constrictor in the gust of wind rushed out of the gate of Changsha City in one breath, and after entering a small river not far away, it poked its head out and looked at the gate with hatred on its face.

"Damn Taoist priest, dare to spoil a good thing, just wait, I won't just let it go!"

Saying that, the white boa constrictor looked at Changsha City again, and then fled along the small river towards the nearby forest.

I don't know if it's because its mana has been exhausted, or because the white python has become less vigilant after entering the forest, but he didn't continue to walk against the wind like in Changsha City, but used his original body, Swimming very quickly in the mountains and forests very familiarly, the thick body pressed a snake path like a path among the weeds.

But the white boa constrictor didn't notice it. On a branch not far behind him, a little milk cat was walking gracefully, jumping from one branch to the next with great agility, following closely behind him.

……

A quarter of an hour later, a handsome Taoist priest in white with a relaxed smile on his face and a white jade whisk in his hand appeared in front of the forest where the white python had entered.

He lowered his head, brushed the weeds on the ground with the white dust whisk in his hand, and watched the trail-like snake path formed by the white python rolling over the ground, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"This stupid snake has no anti-reconnaissance awareness at all. Fortunately, Pindao sent his own trump card to follow him. Is it because Pindao is too exalted to these spirits?"

Saying that, the Taoist priest in white stepped forward and walked forward along the path of the white boa constrictor.

"If this snake monster's previous memory is good, then there should be quite a few snake monsters in his old lair. If this poor man finishes this wave, he might be able to draw a lottery again!"

After turning two turns, the Taoist priest in white suddenly saw a barren woodcutter sitting on a stone beside the forest with a distraught look on his face, as if he was about to hang himself at any moment.

"what?"

The Taoist priest in white stopped, looked at the woodcutter, and asked a tentative question.

"My lord, I see you looking miserable, what's the matter?"

The Taoist priest in white had just finished speaking, when he saw the woodcutter covering his face with his hands suddenly, and burst into tears, crying, while still speaking indistinctly.

"A certain lady...a certain lady...she turned into a snake."

After hearing the woodcutter's words, the Taoist priest in white blinked silently.

"This... Sir, can you tell the poor man about it? Maybe the poor man can help you..."

"woo woo woo woo……"

Seeing the woodcutter in front of him crying very sadly, choked up repeatedly, he really couldn't answer his own words, so Kong Qing, a Taoist priest in white, simply flicked his finger, threw an identification technique on it, and then searched for it by himself.

"This woodcutter's name is... Li Guzhu! Well, this name doesn't seem to match his occupation... His wife's surname is Zhang, well, she looks really good, and her health has not been very good... A few days ago When this Li Guzhu went to the mountain to cut firewood, her wife's figure actually changed... Wait, this change..."

With a mental thought, Kong Qing fixed the changed appearance of Li Guzhu's wife in the identification panel, and then compared it with the wife of Wang Zhenwang's county magistrate who was taken into the demon refining pot.

"This can't be said to be very similar, it is exactly the same!"

Kong Qing's fingers lightly slid across the identification panel.

What's the situation, why is there another snake, and she's still a wife...

Are all these Changsha snake demons surnamed Cao?

"It's the Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Master Zima Huluojia again. Pindao just walked around Changsha casually, and he can bump into two women who have achieved success in practicing this thing..."

Kong Qing raised his head, looked in the direction of Changsha City behind him, and then looked in the direction of Nanzhao Mountain in the south.

"How many women in Changsha County are still practicing the "Shizi Jima Huluojia Achievement Sutra"... Maybe there are men... And all this is caused by which Buddhist sect behind the scenes... I have to say, The water in Changsha County seems to be getting deeper and deeper!"

"Woooo..."

The sound of the woodcutter crying bitterly brought Kong Qing back to his thoughts, he lowered his head, his mind moved slightly, and quickly continued to scan.

Soon, Kong Qing saw in the image of the woodcutter's past that he endured his grief and sent his wife to a mountain pass in front, and then obeyed his wife's words and left there, but he was still worried. I couldn't bear it, so I hid aside and peeked.

Then, he saw countless big snakes swimming out of the mountain, circling around his wife, and her wife also broke free from her skin and turned into a boa constrictor, followed these big snakes and left, waiting for his grief When she rushed over again, all that was left of her wife was a fragmented human skin.

"Woooo..."

The woodcutter covered his face with his hands and cried miserably.

Seeing the woodcutter's appearance, the Taoist priest in white couldn't help but sympathize with him.

Compared with the county magistrate Wang just now, this Li Guzhu is already very infatuated.At least after his wife turned into a snake, he wasn't very scared...

Of course, he still can't compare with the 'Undead Knight' Jin Youzhang, but he is much better than the magistrate Wang.

But since his wife has also turned into a snake, that means...

Can these bastard snake demons not harm other people's wives?
Kong Qing stretched out his hand silently, and patted the woodcutter's shoulder comfortingly.

"Well, although Pindao can't change your wife back to her original appearance, at least Pindao can help you avenge you. You can just wait here with peace of mind. There is still justice in this world..."

After hearing the words of the white-clothed Taoist, the woodcutter raised his head strangely, but was surprised to find that the white-clothed Taoist who was standing in front of him just now had disappeared without a trace.

He squirmed his lips twice, his face blank.

"Didn't a certain lady turn into a snake herself? Who should I seek revenge for..."

……

After swimming in the forest for a while, the white boa constrictor came to the side of the forest, and then his body rolled on the ground, turning into that handsome boy again.

After walking out of the forest, there is a village in front of you!
This village looks very wealthy, more than half of the houses are actually made of blue bricks, and the rest are also made of stone, which is completely different from the wooden and thatched houses that can be seen everywhere in other villages .

At this time, there seemed to be some happy event in the village, and lanterns and festoons were everywhere, and the red silk was erected from the entrance of the village to the back of the village as if it was free of money.

Several young people who were hanging red silk at the entrance of the village, after seeing the handsome young man transformed into a white python, immediately surrounded them with smiles on their faces, and asked with concern.

"Seventeen Lang, didn't you go to Changsha to see your lady in the foreign house? Why did you come back so soon..."

"Could it be..."

A young man looked at the handsome boy and said narrowly.

"...The lady from the outer house has greatly increased her stamina after she achieved a small feat of magic. Shiqi Lang, you are powerless and don't suit the lady's wishes, so you were despised by others, and it is impossible to drive you back."

"Why not..."

Another young man looked at the handsome boy and patted his chest.

"Seventeen Lang, next time you go, call someone, let's have a brotherhood, don't worry about that lady in the house is not satisfied..."

"Go! Go! Go……"

The handsome boy waved his hand towards them with a depressed face.

"Don't talk nonsense. This time, I ran into a nasty Taoist priest. If I didn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have died in Changsha. When I came back this time, I planned to ask Aye to help me."

"Taoist priest……"

Several young people looked at each other, looked at each other, puzzled.

"There are Taoist priests who dare to offend my She family in Changsha County!"

"According to the accent of that little Taoist, it doesn't seem like a native of Changsha..."

The handsome boy waved his hand casually.

"Forget it! I won't tell you guys anymore, I have to hurry to find me, Aye!"

"Ah Lang..."

After a young man thought for a while, he pointed to a big house in the middle of the village with his hand.

"Alang will get married in two days. He should be with some old folks now."

"it is good!"

The handsome young man agreed, and then walked towards the mansion pointed by the young man, and the remaining young men also continued to return to the village entrance, and began to build red silk on the wall.

Suddenly, a young man turned his head to look at the direction where the handsome boy came from just now.

"Strange, how did someone see the shadow of a raccoon slave in the woods over there just now..."

"190 Shiro, you must be dazzled..."

The other young man standing beside him replied nonchalantly.

"Let's not talk about raccoon slaves around our village. Even rats, insects and ants are eaten up by those sapient little guys. How could you see raccoon slaves?"

"that is!"

Another young man followed suit.

"Those savage little guys eat whatever they catch, and they don't pick at all. Now we have to walk for a long time to get a stutter. Do you expect any raccoon slaves to survive from their mouths?"

"That's right!"

The young man called 190 Shiro stuck out his tongue, circled it around his lips, and licked his nose.

"That's a certain dazzled..."

While these young people were chatting and laughing at the entrance of the village, in the other direction, a young Taoist priest in white was hugging a little milk cat, hiding in the air, overlooking this village that looked different than others. Apart from being rich, there is no other village that distinguishes itself.

"The old gentleman is on top!"

Kong Qing smacked his lips silently, and casually threw an Appraisal Spell at the person sitting in the middle of the village with a stick of foxtail in his mouth, who looked no different from an ordinary village idler.

"It's another big monster... How many times are these!"

The little milk cat raised its head in Kong Qing's arms, looking at him with cute big eyes.

"Ouch..."

"What, little guy, you said that you sensed a stronger guy in the big mansion in the middle."

Kong Qing let out a long breath.

"The snake monsters in this village alone are enough to wipe out some small Taoist sects. It's terrible! The monsters in Nima Changsha County are so rampant, Tang Goubie didn't report a word. Come up... is this bastard an undercover agent sent by the Snake Demon to my Taishi Bureau?"

　In ancient legends, the transformation of humans into snakes is a very common theme.

　　In the book "Chenliu Customs Biography" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was mentioned that Liu Bang's mother turned into a snake after death, so his mother's posthumous title was "Mrs. Zhaoling".

　　Here why Liu Bang's mother turned into a red snake, Mengxin probably because turning into a white snake would be too dangerous for his son.

　　In "Liu's Novels" written by Liu Yiqing, the famous story of Du Yu turning into a snake is also recorded.

　　At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was the story of Wang Zhen's wife and the woodcutter's wife turning into snakes written by Mengxin in the book. Missteps are a matter of eternal hatred, but human beings are still victims.

　　But at the end of Tang Dynasty, this situation changed again!

　　For example, "Wen Qi Lu" records the story of a woman who wanted to turn into a snake because of her serious sins, so her family sent her to the wilderness in a sedan chair to release her.

　　At this time, she will become a woman. If she has sins, she will become a snake. For example, a woman surnamed Wei who bullies her slaves, or a woman surnamed Zhang who bullies her husband Judge Du Women, or a certain nun surnamed Wang who did not obey the precepts, all turned into snakes.

　　That's right, by the end of the Tang Dynasty, snakes and bad women could basically be equated, and the story of the cannibal White Lady began to take shape at this time, and it would not be until the Ming Dynasty that the image of the White Lady would improve.

　　Pondering these stories, combined with thinking about the history at that time, sometimes makes people smile knowingly, and sometimes makes people shudder.
