Chapter 397 Li Dayun was once favored by the White Snake
Isn't it non-venomous? Ye Xiaomei firmly believes that the local spotted snakes are indeed non-venomous.
During the few seconds I was stunned, the firefighters had already disappeared.
"What should we do, Xiaomei? I guess these professionals are very good at catching snakes. You can't help them." Shang Zhen concluded leisurely.
Ye Xiaomei suddenly felt lonely and walked home with her head down without saying a word.
"Why don't you speak?" Shang Zhen asked.
Ye Xiaomei just shook her head: "Nothing, I just remembered something."
"What's the matter?" Shang Zhen was very curious, because didn't Xiao Mei come here to save the snake? Now that there is such a big commotion, it is probably a dangerous situation.
Ye Xiaomei sighed and murmured, "When the ancestor snake was alive, there was an unwritten rule that snakes could not hurt people. If they killed someone, they would be punished by heaven alone."
But Ye Xiaomei didn't feel happy when she said this, instead she felt very conflicted.
Because of this rule, when the red maple tree was burned, the ancestor snake was nailed with 7749 bone nails. Each nail was as thick as a thumb and embedded directly into every bone seam of the snake's spine.
The pain can be imagined, but in order to abide by this rule, no one was hurt from beginning to end.
She was troubled and distressed by the question of whether this was right or not. Deep in her soul there was a heavy question that was suffocating her.
Shang Zhen seemed to be still not in the right state. He raised his thumb and said, "So what you mean is that these animals can really become spirits and humans?"
"You can become an immortal, so the precepts are also the rules of heaven, and humans cannot change them."
Ye Xiaomei's nose felt sore. If the red maple tree was still there, the white snake, as the highest species of all snakes, would be an experienced being.
As soon as Ye Xiaomei got home, she found that it was Li Dayun sitting in the living room. She didn't know how long he had been waiting, but there were already four or five cigarette butts on the ground.
"Miss Ye, you're back." Li Dayun hurriedly stood up. Now, he no longer simply respected Ye Xiaomei's knowledge and insights, but also felt awe.
Shang Zhen heartlessly ran to the kitchen, wanting to see what delicious food was being cooked tonight.
Wang Lan always acts like a good mother-in-law in front of outsiders, and is especially nice to Shang Zhen because she is her daughter's classmate.
Ye Xiaomei sat down and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
Li Dayun pulled out a tattered booklet from his arms. The bark was so rotten that only two words could be vaguely seen - Zhu You.
"Well, I heard that you went to the east of the village, and I also heard that you are gone. Actually, I am not a petty person, but I don't want to bother with Liu Zhihua. You take me to give this book to him. Some things are really spiritual, and you can't play with them."
Li Dayun said this sincerely. Ye Xiaomei raised her eyebrows suddenly: "Zhu You? Is this Zhu You technique?"
"Yes, this is what my master taught me. This is the method used to summon the little gods."
To put it simply, it can invite those elves living underground to leave instead of killing them directly.
Ye Xiaomei glanced at the honest and simple-minded Li Dayun for a second longer: "Brother Li, you are really kind-hearted. The main thing is that Liu Zhihua doesn't believe in these things. It's useless even if I give them to him. The firefighters all left in the afternoon, so I guess they won't be used."
Li Dayun smacked his lips, his eyes slightly drooping and a little lonely.
This surprised Ye Xiaomei. It was good for a construction worker to pray for everything to go smoothly, but he seemed to have gone a little too far:
"Brother Li, you seem to have some special feelings for snakes?"
Li Dayun smiled bitterly and stuffed the tattered booklet into his pocket, buttoning it carefully:
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by girls when I tell you this, and you may not believe it either. When my wife was giving birth, it was the dog days of summer. It was too hot and we couldn't take a bath. She caught the fever and almost died. I used my master's method to ask for a talisman, and a white snake appeared and bit its own gallbladder out."
"..." Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank and she stood up: "You cut your own chest?"
Li Dayun smiled bitterly at her reaction. It was normal for her to not believe it. "Yes, it's hard to imagine, but it was such a snake gall that pulled my wife back from the brink of death.
My brother said it was a reward for doing good deeds. Although Liu Zhiyuan had done great harm to my master in the past, he has been fine. Instead, he hurt the villagers. I feel bad about it."
Huh...Ye Xiaomei couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Li Dayun saw her fear and quickly added, "Ancient books also record that white snakes are particularly good at medicine when they transform into human forms, which benefits the people and is also a way to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for themselves, so I have always firmly believed that they are nobler than human beings."
Ye Xiaomei finally reacted. When she looked at Li Dayun, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
"I am not well educated. My master taught me this later. Please don't laugh at me."
Ye Xiaomei shook her head, as if she had made up her mind. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Li Dayun: "Brother Li, let's go over there after dinner and send him away if we can."
Ye Xiaomei also figured out the question that Shang Zhen asked in the afternoon. Rules are set, but they cannot be followed all the time. If the training is not to hurt others, what if you hurt yourself first? Do you just wait to die? At least Ye Xiaomei can't do that.
A human being cannot be so noble, let alone a snake? If this old rule is followed, the white snake will be extinct sooner or later.
As soon as Ye Xiaomei closed her eyes, she could feel forty-seven thumb-sized bone nails hitting her bone joints. The pain of the eardrum, which was connected by cartilage and was forcibly dislocated, could not be expressed in words.
At night, when all the lights were turned off, Ye Xiaomei saw Shang Zhen sleeping soundly wrapped in the quilt, so she carefully put on her clothes and went out.
She made an appointment with Li Dayun to meet at the three-way intersection between the east and west of the village.
Ye Xiaomei arrived at the place with a flashlight in hand, braving the cold wind blowing straight into her neck. She saw a figure in the snow ahead and shouted in a low voice:
"Brother Li?"
Because the shadow's figure doesn't look like the usual Li Dayun.
Why is it so wide?
Ye Xiaomei tilted her neck to look carefully, adjusting the flashlight to the spotlight mode. She was so focused on looking that she almost saw herself gone.
Damn...if you don’t know, you would think it’s a zombie.
Li Dayun was wearing a yellow Taoist robe and holding a dustpan in his hand. He looked completely different from the tattered cotton jacket he wore during the day.
At the moment he paused, Li Dayun took a step forward and shook off the dust in his hands: "Miss Ye, let's go."
Ye Xiaomei looked at him subconsciously and hurried to catch up. The words came to her lips several times before she spoke:
"Is your master a Taoist priest?"
"My master's master was a Taoist priest. He taught him some skills, and my master passed some to me, but it was enough for the construction industry."
Ye Xiaomei opened her eyes and watched how he operated.
When we arrived at the east end of the village, it was completely quiet. Apart from the barking of dogs, the only sound in the entire place was the cold wind of June whistling past.
Ye Xiaomei's ears were soon frozen to the point of numbness.
