Chapter 25 Snake Temple (for collection)

After returning home, I was still out of breath, just in case, I calmly drew some snake charms.

He didn't go back to bed until he finally exhausted his energy and felt his head was a little foggy.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but the next day I was woken up by the noise next door.

As soon as I got up and opened the door, my aunt came in through the courtyard door with a face full of panic. I saw her sweating profusely and asked her what happened.

My aunt said in a panic, "Something happened to Zhang Ergou!"

I froze for a moment: "Didn't he be fine yesterday?"

"I just heard that Liu Manizi is gone too." Auntie looked terrified.

I understood why my aunt's expression was so frightened, and I immediately thought of what happened in the ruined temple yesterday.

Next door is Zhang Ergou's house. I saw someone crying and howling over there, so I went out and took a look, and found that Zhang Ergou looked crazy, coiled around the door like a snake.

Limbs are a bit distorted, but his eyes are obviously normal, but he is very frightened, and his whole body is bloody, full of blood holes from snake bites.

The village chief and several people came, but there was nothing they could do, so they just called someone to call Zhang Xianren.

I saw that Zhang Ergou was dying, so I thought of some ways to drive away snakes in the book, so I hurried back to the house and took some glutinous rice flour and realgar powder.

When he came back again, the surrounding area of ​​Zhang Ergou's house was full of water, and they kept talking about the revenge of the snake fairy.

I didn't care too much, I plunged into the crowd and squeezed in. After entering the yard, I shouted to the surrounding people: "Get out of the way, go away."

Some people in the village were dissatisfied, but I ignored it and started spreading glutinous rice flour around Zhang Ergou in a circle, telling him to stand inside and not move.

Only then did I realize that Zhang Ergou's tongue seemed to have been bitten, his mouth was full of blood, and he could only whimper in pain.

I grabbed some realgar powder and sprinkled it on his body. The cinnabar mixed with realgar was stained on his body. Zhang Ergou might feel the burning pain all over his body, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

"If you don't want to die, just stand up for me obediently. If you want to die, then do whatever you want."

I said unceremoniously: "There is a nest of snakes in your body now, if you want to die, I can help you, and I can even make you die faster."

What I said scared him so much that he didn't dare to move at all. People are afraid of death. If they can live, no one wants to die.

Then he endured the pain for life, not daring to move.

"Stop howling, go and get some eggs." I told my old lady who was crying next to Zhang Ergou.

His old lady was frightened by me, and stayed there in a daze, and I urged: "What are you doing in a daze, go quickly."

Only then did Mrs. Zhang Ergou come to her senses, she didn't know whether she was scared by me or saw that the hands I showed just now did have an effect, she turned around and hurried into the room to get a lot of eggs.

I took it from Mrs. Zhang Ergou, and threw the egg at Zhang Ergou. Then his body felt a sharp pain, and it seemed that something was wriggling in his skin and was about to come out.

Rolling up the sleeves on his arms and seeing something wriggling under the skin, I took a pocket knife and made a small gash in his wrist.

The arm was cut open with a knife, but no blood flowed from it.

Instead, some black thread-like snakes came out of his body. These snakes fell to the ground without moving, and died after tossing a few times.

I looked at the black snakes on the ground and roughly counted them, and there were more than a dozen of them.

At that time, my scalp was numb. I didn't expect that there would be so many snakes in his body.

I frowned, and said to Mrs. Zhang Ergou, "Give him these raw eggs."

The villagers were very dissatisfied just now, but they seemed to be surprised by me when they saw so many snakes coming out of Zhang Ergou.

Zhang Ergou didn't hesitate any more, and quickly followed my instructions.

Just after pouring a few raw eggs, the stench was accompanied by a strong sense of nausea, which made Zhang Ergou's stomach overwhelmed, and he crawled on the ground and vomited. The eggs he drank were mixed with a few little black snakes and spit out together.

These snakes looked exactly the same as the snakes just now, except that they were a little thicker than the one that came out of the skin. These snakes also fell to the ground, their tails slapped the ground, and they died after tossing a few times.

Seeing him spit out a few little black snakes, I breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you're a fortune teller, you won't die now."

The villagers looked at me with wide eyes, a little in disbelief, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of "tattling" footsteps outside the door.

The senior senior was sweating profusely, and said with a panicked expression: "Liu Laizi has been found!"

The village head asked anxiously, "Where is it?"

Senior four was startled and tired: "In the temple behind the mountain!"

"Why didn't you bring him back?" the village head asked again.

"Uncle Shen, go and see for yourself, Liu Mangy... he's dead." The senior senior trembled, and his words were not smooth.

Liu Laizi died, and the appearance of his death was extremely pervasive.

He died kneeling at the entrance of the ruined temple. His body was covered with dense snakes. His body was eaten away by those snakes, his face was bitten by blood and flesh, his intestines bleed all over the floor, and his bones were also covered with snakes. Tooth marks.

Everyone said that they were revenged by the Snake Immortal.

When the villagers were trembling with fear, the one-eyed woman of the Liu family walked into the temple step by step with a cane, and looked at Liu Laizi's body with a sneer.

Then, she said hoarsely to the villagers: "You have seen it, this is the end of offending the snake fairy."

"This person is disrespectful and angered the Snake Fairy. Your village catches snakes, which brings about snake disasters. As long as this Snake Temple is built and you offer incense to the Snake Fairy, the Snake Fairy will not embarrass you, and will protect the village."

What happened in front of them made the villagers have to believe that no one dared to have any dissatisfaction at the moment.

It's just that some people hesitated and said: "But what if there are so many snakes in the village now?"

As if expecting someone to ask this question, the one-eyed woman said with a sinister smile: "With the establishment of the Snake Fairy Temple, those snakes will naturally disperse. From then on, every year on the ninth day of September, the village will hold a sacrifice to enshrine the snake fairy incense. After a hundred years, the past will be redeemed. The sins of the village will never be troubled by snakes again."

The one-eyed woman's words were not high-pitched, but they were sonorous and powerful, and the villagers' complaints were silenced immediately.

Then, the one-eyed woman said that the temple will be set up this afternoon, and the snakes will leave tonight, and then a vegetarian restaurant will be set up in the village. All the villagers can not only eat, but also receive money from the temple.

Of course, the villagers would not say anything about such a beautiful thing. They complained just now, but when they heard this, they all praised Mrs. Liu for being a good person.

As for Liu Laizi's body, it will be cleaned up, the villagers are silent, of course they will do anything for money.

He even felt in his heart that it was Liu Manizi's disrespect to the Snake Fairy that caused the bad retribution, and it was his own fault.

The villagers gathered here, and they seemed to want to gain something. Seeing the one-eyed woman's smile became more obvious, I felt an unprecedented anxiety in my heart.
