smuggler

Chapter 16
Watching the entangled snake corpses shaking constantly, making strange noises.

I just felt my scalp tingling and goosebumps all over my body. I subconsciously backed away. Zhang Xianren's body was like a swimming snake.

I couldn't bear to scream any longer, and when those snake corpses swam over, a blinding black light flashed, and I suddenly woke up.

Chu Yuan's voice came from next to his ear: "Okay, it's all right."

When I came back to my senses, I found that the yard was full of snake corpses lying on the ground, and Zhang Xianren was also lying on the ground without any movement.

I quickly stepped forward and turned Zhang Xianren who was lying on the ground over, and put my hand on his nose.

"He's not dead yet." I immediately beamed with joy.

Chu Yuan said in an unusually calm voice, "I'm going to die soon."

I was taken aback for a moment, but then I knew why Chu Yuan said that, because Zhang Xianren's naked skin color became extremely abnormal.

It was a bit blue and purple, and his face was black, slightly swollen, and what was even more creepy was the left half of his face, which had faint lines, like snake scales.

"How to do?"

I was very anxious, after all, Zhang Xianren became like this because of me, if he died like this, I would naturally feel very sorry.

Chu Yuan calmly said: "Help him into the house, you hurry to find what I told you."

According to what he said, if you want to save Zhang Xianren now, you must find what he said, and I dare not be sloppy in the slightest.

After finally helping Zhang Xianren into the room and lying on the bed, taking advantage of the night, I hurried to grandma's house.

Turning a few turns in the village road, I looked at the door of grandma's house from a distance, and the light was still on inside. When I opened the door, I saw my aunt pacing back and forth at the door of the main room.

When I opened the door, my aunt glanced over, and she called out to me in a voiceless voice.

In the evening, we two went to watch the excitement, but we encountered an accident in Shepangou, and the two of us ran away. Now that my aunt is fine, I am also relieved.

My aunt wept with joy, came over and grabbed my hand and said, "Where did you go this night? You scared me to death. If something happens to you, how should I explain to your grandma?"

"I went to Daoist Zhang's house!" I knew it was not the time to reminisce about the old days, so I didn't talk about the family, but said straight to the point: "Gu, do you know that grandma has a mahogany box at home?"

My aunt was a little suspicious, she didn't know why I would say that suddenly.

"Your grandma and your grandpa's things were burned clean. I don't remember any other boxes."

Chu Yuan whispered in his ear, "No, the things in the mahogany box are magical artifacts, and the magical artifacts will not be burned so easily."

My aunt got angry with grandma and hasn't been back for a long time, she may not know it.

I asked in a low voice, "How can you be so clear?"

Although Chu Yuan's voice was still a bit weak, he snorted arrogantly: "Although I almost lost my mind and soul after crossing the catastrophe of transformation, if I don't have magic weapons, I can't deal with it with Bai Jianshan's ability. Me, besides... how do you think your grandma got those snake-repelling charms?"

Feeling that Chu Yuan's tone was not very good, I echoed embarrassingly: "It makes sense, it makes sense, let's look for it carefully."

I started to search around the room in a hurry, but in the small room, I searched all over and couldn't find the mahogany box that Chu Yuan mentioned.

When I was in a hurry, my aunt said in a low voice: "Ah... I remembered, your grandma did leave you something the night she threw herself into the river."

After I fell asleep that night, when my aunt was feeding my grandma the medicine, my grandma casually mentioned that what happened in the past two days made my aunt very anxious, so she ignored it.

My aunt ran into my room and took out something wrapped in yellow cloth. I recognized it the first time I saw it.

That night, grandma knelt in the yard to worship, with this yellow cloth package beside her.

After uncovering the yellow cloth, it was really a mahogany box inside.

The aunt said: "Your grandma told me that day. I thought about telling you, but you fell asleep. I forgot about it these two days."

I was overjoyed, and hurried forward to open the mahogany box. There was a thread-bound book with yellowed pages and dust on it.

There are also some yellow paper talismans beside them, drawn on rough paper.

"These are snake-repelling charms. I didn't expect that old woman to keep so many spares." Chu Yuan's voice sounded in my ear, and he snorted arrogantly.

I was a little embarrassed, because I already knew that these snake charms were originally intended to restrain him.

Since I was a child, I have been drinking snake repelling water.

In addition, there is a bell inside, which is wrapped with a strange snake pattern, and the tail is like a snake's mouth, shaking gently, making a different bell sound, and inside the snake's mouth, there is also a incense core Something like that.

Chu Yuan told me it was the Snake Soul Bell.

I eagerly asked in a low voice: "What should I do now?"

Chu Yuan ordered: "Take the snake soul bell and the snake drive charm!"

I didn't care about what to say, according to what Chu Yuan said, I quickly took the snake repellent talisman and the snake soul bell, turned around and walked out.

When I got to the door, I stopped and turned to my aunt and said, "Close the door at night and don't go out."

My aunt didn't know what happened, she seemed very anxious, but she didn't ask any more questions, she just nodded.

I went back to Zhang Xianren's home and saw Zhang Xianren lying quietly on the bed, his face was pale, his lips were blue, and black mist was faintly lingering on his forehead.

"The evil snake seduces the soul..." Chu Yuan murmured.

Zhang Xianren's face was visibly sluggish, black scales suddenly appeared on both sides of his cheeks, just like the scales covering his grandma's corpse, exactly the same.

"What should I do now?" Seeing Zhang Xianren lying on the bed with a black face, I couldn't do anything.

Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Go to the room and get some glutinous rice."

There was a lot of tribute rice on the altar of the shrine, I grabbed some, and then Chu Yuan told me about the next process.

Everything is ready, I go back to the room.

"Let's start." Chu Yuan said.

I hesitated for a while, and according to what Chu Yuan said, I sprinkled a handful of rice on Zhang Xianren, and immediately, I heard the sound of chi chi, accompanied by a faint black air.

I don't know if it was because of the severe pain, or something was gnawing at the flesh on his body, but Zhang Xianren, who was not comatose, cried out in pain.

I quickly came up to help me, saw this and sprinkled a handful of rice again, muttering something in my mouth, at this time Zhang Xianren's whole body was already a little twitching.

"The snake has come out!" Chu Yuan said calmly.

When I heard this, I looked down and saw three or four snake shadows emerging from Zhang Xianren's shadow around his neck, writhing and struggling in the air.

As the tribute rice was sprinkled, the snake shadow touched and continuously emitted black smoke out of thin air.
