Chapter 181 The Origin of the Demon Snake (2)

Chu Yuan was seriously injured, and was grabbed by the snake woman's arm. Although he didn't speak, his expression showed displeasure.

"Don't worry, I won't let Lord Snake help you for nothing, I can tell you the truth about the snake!" The snake woman immediately explained after feeling Chu Yuan's indifference.

Both Bai Yang and I stopped in our tracks.

Now that the magic snake has broken out, although it is nowhere to be found, the matter is not over yet. Not only is Chu Yuan's snake head among them, but also the souls of my parents.

And the magic snake probably won't let us go easily, it will be sooner or later to meet the magic snake, and the snake woman has served the magic snake for hundreds of years, so she knows everything about the magic snake.

I looked at Chu Yuan and nodded slightly to him.

He helped the snake woman to the place where she lived, in the dilapidated courtyard that was about to collapse, and found that all the snakes in the pen were dead.

Sitting behind the main room, her eyes were still staring at the door in a daze, and she turned around after a long time, her expression was not so blunt, but her mouth kept muttering something.

"Since you know that it is a demonic snake that is being suppressed under the Dragon King Temple, why do you still help him?" I said straight to the point.

The snake woman turned to look at me with dull eyes, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then lifted up her trousers.

I frowned immediately, the snake woman's skinny legs were covered with dense snake scales, and then I rolled up my sleeves, and it was also covered with a layer of fine snake scales.

"This is the answer!" Snake said in a low voice.

"What's going on?" I asked eagerly, confused.

The snake lady raised her head and looked outside the door for a while, then slowly said: "The magic snake sealed in Sifang Well was originally a snake demon who has cultivated for more than 1000 years!"

"Hualong Village is isolated from the world. It was originally a place full of spiritual energy. The snake demon has practiced here for too long. Once he has learned the way, he began to confuse the villagers with false rumors."

The snake woman looked calm, and slowly told me the story of the magic snake.

In fact, this matter is the same as what Bai Yang said before. It's just that the magic snake has practiced Taoism for eight or nine hundred years, and has encountered a bottleneck that is difficult to break through. creatures.

The snake demon had evil thoughts, and in his capacity as the Dragon King, he asked the villagers to offer sacrifices.

"Back then, the snake demon confuses the minds of the villagers and asks the villagers to serve the dragon girl for further study. Hundreds of years ago, Hualong Village came to Hualong Village. There is a dragon king who is closed to practice here, and the villagers worship it every year, and the rumors spread are amazing."

"The real Taiyuan came at the right time. It happened to meet the villagers offering sacrifices to the Dragon King. I was lucky enough to witness the whole process." The snake lady showed memories in her eyes, and explained the past hundreds of years ago to me.

The real Taiyuan who descended from Dragon Mountain came here and witnessed the whole process of offering sacrifices to the Dragon King.

The sacrificial offerings at that time were different from those of today, because the magic snake had not yet been suppressed in the Dragon King Temple, so the sacrificial offerings were held by the river.

The villagers will place tribute and three animals as sacrifices to the river, and then plant bamboo and white strips by the river to attract the Dragon King.

In the last few villagers will tie the carefully selected women to sacrifice to the Dragon King to bamboo chairs, pray devoutly by the river, and then put the women who sacrifice to the Dragon King on the wooden boat.

The wooden boat would float with the river and then sink to the bottom of the river.

Only that time, the woman who sacrificed to the Dragon King was also lucky, she met the real Taiyuan and was rescued.

He stopped the villagers, and arranged an altar by the river to open the altar.

When the practice started, within a quarter of an hour, thunder and lightning flashed, and the calm river became restless.

Immediately afterwards, a huge water column rose into the sky, and above the water column was a rotten and blackened dragon emitting a stench.

Seeing this, everyone knelt down and bowed down, while the Dragon King glared at the crowd, and then uttered a very sharp cry: "Who is disturbing this Dragon King's cleanliness, get out!"

"A snake monster dares to call itself the Dragon King, it's really brazen!" Master Taiyuan walked slowly to the river.

He was holding a red thread, and one end of the red thread was wrapped around a coffin as black as ink.

The dragon king's pupils dilated suddenly, and when he saw Taiyuan Daoist, he seemed to feel the awe-inspiring aura of a celestial master in him.

At that time, he showed a terrified expression, and then turned his head to run away.

Seeing this, Master Taiyuan immediately pulled out two spells and shot them at the Dragon King, and then threw the red rope in his hand into the air.

Miraculously, the red rope rushed towards the Dragon King as if it had come alive, and tied its body tightly.

In the next second, Master Taiyuan drew out the Seven-Star Dao Sword, pasted two water-proof symbols on his legs, and ran towards the Dragon King.

His feet stepped on the river without sinking, just like stepping on the ground. The villagers were shocked by this scene, they knelt down and regarded Master Taiyuan as a fairy.

With the blessing of that red rope, the Dragon King was no match for Taiyuan Daoist at all, and was quickly defeated.

Master Taiyuan found the right time, and pierced the Dragon King's body with a sword. With a scream, the carrion on the Dragon King's body surface fell off, revealing its true face. It turned out to be a vicious snake demon with fleshy wings. .

The seriously injured snake demon was tightly tied up with a red rope, and could no longer escape. Master Taiyuan returned to the shore and leaned against the big black coffin.

The villagers looked at each other and were silent for a long time before they dared to ask the reason.

Master Taiyuan panted heavily, and explained: "You guys are really ignorant, that's not a dragon king at all, but a snake demon!"

When the snake woman said this, she paused for a long time, her thoughts suddenly came back to reality, and she said slowly: "The magic snake is so powerful that it cannot be completely wiped out. He formed the Yin and Yang two great formations, and suppressed the demonic snake under the Dragon King Temple, but Taiyuan Daoist also exhausted his vitality, and his time is numbered."

"I'm actually the Si Po of Hualong Village. When Taiyuan Daoist was dying, he once told me to look after the magic snake sealed in the Dragon King Temple. I always kept it in mind and took on the important task of guarding Hualong Village."

"But hundreds of years have passed since the snake was sealed, you..." I can't imagine how this old woman has lived for hundreds of years.

The snake woman naturally understood what I was going to say, and smiled bitterly: "Since Master Taiyuan returned to the ruins, I have followed his instructions and kept them for more than thirty years."

"At that time, I already felt that my death was approaching, and I couldn't live for long, but I never thought that when I was about to die, I dreamed of the magic snake. He turned into a man in red, holding a glowing red Tell me that as long as you eat it, you can not only bring the dead back to life, but also make people live forever.”

"I thought it was just a dream, but when I was about to wake up, the blood-red fruit held by the man in red was placed on the table, lingering with traces of blush."

I took a deep breath: "Then, you really ate it!"

The snake lady nodded calmly: "Before death came, I thought I could face it calmly, but until I was about to die, nostalgia for life and fear of after death emerged spontaneously, which made me greedy. "
