Taoist Master: I have a strange world

Chapter 57 Weird Snake
  Zhang Ling did not expect that in less than half a day, someone would find him again.

This time, it was not Liu Dashan, nor Scorpion Venom.

But a nearby villager was bitten by a snake, and was then sent over by other villagers.

"Why is it that someone bitten by a scorpion just came here this morning, and now another one bitten by a snake comes here."

Zhang Ling vaguely felt something was wrong, so he asked the villagers who came for help: "Why was he bitten by a snake? Is he a snake catcher?"

"No, he is not a snake catcher. He was just working in the field today and was bitten by a snake." The villager who came replied.

Zhang Ling frowned slightly, feeling that the snakes and scorpions were unusually frequent.

However, when someone came to ask for help, Zhang Ling could not remain indifferent.

He went along to have a look, and then cast a spell again, simply relying on the unique properties of his own magic power to detoxify the poisoned villager.

While Zhang Ling was doing this, he heard villagers outside the house watching and talking.

"Then it's no accident that I handled these two cases of snake and scorpion bites."

"and……"

"what happened?"

"Abnormal!"

After Liu Dashan finished reading, Zhang Ling asked: "Liu Dashan, have you heard that many people in this town have been bitten by snakes and scorpions?"

Zhang Ling returned to the Taoist temple with such confusion.

"It's weird. There's nothing special about this weather. Why are snakes and scorpions so active?"

"Fortunately, the Taoist priest was here, so this man from the Wang family saved his life!"

Zhang Ling had no words, but through his eyes, he could see that as Liu Dashan recited the scripture respectfully, a unique power was generated, which was absorbed by the Taoist temple.

"Yes."

Not long after he removed the snake venom for a villager, Liu Dashan came.

Now, he just seizes the time and uses the protection of the Taoist temple to carry out his own practice and strengthen his magic power.

"Are there many people bitten by snakes and scorpions in this town?"

This is also a kind of incense offering power and a source of strength supplement for the Celestial Empire.

Zhang Ling heard this and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's strange to say that I went to the town today and saw that the medicine shop was full of people. They were all bitten by snakes and scorpions nearby."

Zhang Ling asked: "Based on your many years of experience in catching snakes and scorpions, is this abnormal?"

Liu Dashan said without hesitation: "I have been catching snakes and scorpions for many years, and I have never encountered such a situation."

Liu Dashan nodded, his face full of doubts: "I don't know what's going on. I heard at the drug store that within a radius of a hundred miles, snakes and scorpions have been biting people in the past two days. I heard that there are still people who can't get rid of the poison. There are corpses lying in the house, not knowing whether they are alive or dead, just like plants.”

However, at the end of the day, Zhang Ling could not rest in peace.

When I saw Zhang Ling in the Taoist temple, I bowed and thanked him first, then respectfully went to the 'stone slab' in front of the temple and recited the "Sutra of All Living Beings Serving Heaven for Shelter" written on it.

Liu Dashan's face suddenly showed some hesitation, and he hesitated.

Zhang Ling saw his doubts and asked, "And what's wrong?"

Liu Dashan hesitated for a while before he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Besides, I stayed at the drug store for a while and learned from a snake-bitten person that the snake that bit him had a missing tail."

"I have caught such a snake before and injured its tail on the way, but I still sold it in the town..."

Zhang Ling frowned slightly, realizing the meaning of Liu Dashan's words.

He caught snakes from various wildernesses, all alive, and then sold them to someone in the town.

As a result, the snakes he caught and sold are now in the wild, biting people again.

"The person who bought the snake and scorpion did not use it to practice martial arts, but instead released it to bite people everywhere?" Zhang Ling couldn't help but think.

After Liu Dashan said this, he also said to Zhang Ling: "Taoist Master, please don't tell this matter casually." Zhang Ling shook his head slightly and asked a question: "I want to buy live snakes from you. Scorpion, isn’t it the righteousness of the Scorpion Temple?”

Liu Dashan replied: "He used to be the one who bought live scorpions, but recently it's someone else."

At this point, Liu Dashan seemed unwilling to continue talking. He said goodbye to Zhang Ling and left quickly.

Zhang Ling was left alone to think in the Taoist temple.

Not long after Liu Dashan left, another villager hurriedly asked for help: "Taoist priest, my child was bitten by a centipede while playing at the end of the village! I heard that the Taoist priest has the ability to detoxify, and he asked for help to save my child!"

"Centipede?"

Zhang Ling suddenly realized that snakes, centipedes, and scorpions were all among the five poisons.

"Will it be related to the 'Five Poisons Refining Chapter'?" Through the five poisons, Zhang Ling thought of the related 'Five Poisons Refining Chapter'.

But why there are five poisons to hurt people, Zhang Ling still doesn't understand.

Throughout the day, Zhang Ling's practice was interrupted many times, but he helped several people detoxify.

Even after these few detoxifications, Zhang Ling became conscious and thought to himself: "We can't continue like this, otherwise we will need to consume some mana every time we detoxify."

"Although I have refined the gas and there is a cloud in my magic power, the detoxification efficiency is not high. It is better to have a talisman that can detoxify, which can not only turn into a bowl of water."

"Wait until night, take the opportunity to return to reality, and draw a few talismans to deal with this kind of thing."

After having this idea, Zhang Ling closed his eyes and restored and strengthened his magic power.

The sky outside slowly dimmed and entered the night.

Zhang Ling slowly breathed in and out with the help of Daouliao to strengthen the magic power in his body.

However, seeing the sky getting dark, Zhang Ling wanted to return to reality.

"Hoohoo!"

Zhang Ling finished breathing and raised his hand to press it on the Sanqing Shenjian.

But his hand suddenly stopped before pressing it down.

Because in Zhang Ling's glance, he saw something winding up in the nearby river.

What concerned Zhang Ling was that the other party had a unique aura.

"A snake has strange energy in its body?"

"It's a bit like the evil spirit on Wu Duweng, but it's different."

Zhang Ling saw this and stopped.

He hesitated for a moment, put down his hand, stood up from the Taoist temple, and adjusted the sword casually.

"Go and have a look. Maybe it has something to do with the recent movements of snakes and scorpions."

Zhang Ling walked out of the Taoist temple, equipped with a magic sword, jumped a few meters away, and headed towards the river.

In his eyes, the figure swimming up from the river was still quite clear. It was a round-headed snake with a slightly red body and a forehead like a soldering iron.

Of course, what Zhang Ling cared about was not the shape of the snake, but the unique evil aura on the snake's body.

"It's just a little snake, why does it have evil energy in it?"

An idea flashed through Zhang Ling's mind, and then he watched the snake swim out of the river, spitting out snake messages, and turned his head towards Zhang Ling as if he felt something.

The next moment, the snake with evil aura came directly towards Zhang Ling.

"So fierce? He's not afraid of people at all. Instead, he seems to be directly looking for someone."

Zhang Ling stopped, raised the long sword in his hand, silently recited the Golden Light Mantra, stretched out his hand to touch the sword, and waited for the snake with a trace of evil aura to come forward.
