Chapter 171 The Truth About Ten Years Ago

"There is a large formation in Hualong Village to suppress the devil snake, guarding it here, but it is bewitching people, using the hands of the snake woman to implement its own layout. This village has become a livestock raised by the devil snake. Every few years, a woman needs to be sacrificed so that she can practice Taoism!"

Chu Yuan has already seen the secret of this village.

Now the hidden secrets of this village are basically clear.

Since none of the foreigners who came to this place managed to leave alive, it is obvious that my parents have probably encountered an accident.

Now the souls of my parents are in the hands of the magic snake, this may be the purpose of Bai Yang's appearance in Hualong Village.

But how did he survive?

When my parents brought him to Hualong Village, he was only one or two years old. What has he experienced in these years?
Thinking of the Dragon King Temple, what the snake said to me in the enchantment, I felt a faint pain in my heart, and subconsciously looked at Chu Yuan standing beside me, feeling an uncomfortable feeling of suffocation.

Chu Yuan may have known about my parents' situation when he saw Liu Qingyin eating those snake fruits when he was in the Dragon King Temple.

Along the way, the reason why I didn't speak was just because I was concerned about my feelings.

When I was sacrificed earlier, Bai Yang appeared in the middle of the ceremony and interrupted the ceremony of the snake woman. When I came to the Dragon King Temple, he hadn't escaped yet.

The snake woman is not a small character, I was worried about his safety, so I went to the river with Chu Yuan again.

But apart from the built altar and the burning bonfire, the riverside was a bit of a mess, Snake Po and Bai Yang were gone, and the villagers who were wrapped had disappeared.

Chu Yuan looked around the river, and then said to me: "There is no trace of fighting here, he should be fine!"

Bai Yang had been in Hualong Village for a long time, and from the conversation of the snake lady, it could be seen that it was not the first time the two of them had met.

He is not only very familiar with the terrain of Hualong Village, but also very familiar with the Snake Woman.

He knew the weakness of the snake lady, and he probably took out the clay pot from the place where the snake lady lived while the snake lady was holding a sacrificial ceremony.

This also shows that since I came to Hualong Village, he has actually been secretly protecting me.

But how did he recognize me! ?

The terrain of Hualong Village is very complicated, Bai Yang knows this place better than us, and he was able to escape completely, which shows that it is safe now.

"Don't worry too much, he can stay in Hualong Village for such a long time, he must be able to protect himself." Chu Yuan comforted me.

I nodded, Hualong Village is very strange.

Those villagers seemed to have disappeared. We didn't find anything unusual in the village, it was as quiet as a grave.

Seeing my drooping expression, Chu Yuan knew what I was thinking, and said in a low voice: "Some things are predestined in the dark, so don't be too sad, people cannot be resurrected after death, the most urgent thing is Find a way to bring their souls back!"

I hummed in a very uncomfortable voice. In fact, when I was in Hualong Village, I had a very bad premonition in my heart after what I experienced in the past two days.

I have already predicted that bad results will happen, but when I actually face it, I still can't accept it.

Although what Chu Yuan said made sense, after thinking about it carefully, he still felt oppressed and heavy in his heart.

"Since the devil snake can control the Liu family, and since it has been in this snake village for so many years, it has received so much incense from the villagers, and so many women with special fates have become sacrifices, it must have very profound morality, even if my parents' souls , in his hands, it's not easy to get it back."

When we were in the Dragon King Temple, Chu Yuan and I were both by the Sifang Well in the backyard.

But after the magic snake came out of Sifang Well, it arranged the barrier, but even Chu Yuan didn't notice it, including what happened in the barrier.

In addition to what I saw, Sifangjing my mother.

It seemed that Chu Yuan didn't notice all of this.

It can also be seen from this that the strength of the magic snake is probably equal to that of Chu Yuan, or even higher than him.

So even if the souls of my parents are in the hands of the magic snake, it will not be easy to save them.

Seeing my frowning face, Chu Yuan comforted me and said, "Even though mountain elves and ghosts have practiced Taoism for thousands of years, they still have their fatal weaknesses, even the magic snake is no exception."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Do you know what the snake's weakness is?"

I thought about it for a while, and then said to Chu Yuan: "In our village, there used to be snakes entering the house. Generally, the villagers would use realgar powder and goose droppings to drive them away. Just sprinkle them around the yard. Snakes are afraid of the smell." , I won’t go into the yard, and I’ve encountered so many snakes these days, the only ones that work are the snake soul bell and the snake charm.”

In fact, I don't know much about snakes, and I really don't know the fatal weakness.

Chu Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Have you never heard of the saying that when you hit a snake, you hit seven inches?"

I turned my head suspiciously, thinking that when I was dealing with Liu Qingyin, he asked me to stab into the seven-inch position, so I wondered: "Why do you have to hit seven inches when you hit a snake?"

Chu Yuan said calmly: "Because at seven inches away, the snake's heart is located. For humans, the heart is the key to the whole body. The same is true for monsters!"

In my heart, I secretly remembered what Chu Yuan said, and immediately thought of something.

"Does anything in this world have a weakness?"

Chu Yuan didn't answer directly, but said: "There is nothing perfect in this world, everything that exists must have flaws and weaknesses!"

At this time, I had already entered the courtyard. After entering the courtyard gate, I stopped suddenly, then turned my head, and looked up at Chu Yuan's stern silhouette under the shadow.

"What about you, what's your weakness?" I stared at him.

Chu Yuan seemed to be stunned for a moment, stood outside the threshold and stopped, his pupils inadvertently narrowed and looked at me, and he didn't speak for a long time.

The atmosphere seemed to be frozen at this moment. Under the gaze of those dark and deep pupils, my heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

He lowered his head in a panic, and smiled awkwardly: "I... I'll just talk casually!"

Chu Yuan stared at me and said, "My weakness lies between my eyebrows."

"Brows?" I couldn't help raising my head again, looking into his dark and bright eyes.

At this moment, he stood quietly on the spot, and when his eyes met, the inside was as unfathomable as an abyss.

"Why did you tell me your weakness?"

I suddenly lowered my head and said in a low voice, "You...are you not afraid that after I know your weakness, I will think badly about you?"

Chu Yuan just smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked confused.

He stepped into the threshold, looked down at me, and slowly approached and said: "You won't do that, besides, even if you would, I won't blame you!"

"Why?" I was stunned.

"No reason!" Chu Yuan didn't want to say more on this topic: "Go in, it's getting late!"
