Chapter 4: Snake Demon "Let me meet it!"
As if she was used to doing housework, the old lady ran into the house with a broom and dustpan and quickly cleaned up the earthworm balls.
The child's complexion returned to normal and he served tea with a smile.
"Grandma," he called to the old lady, "stop being busy and chat with me for a while."
Hey, this family really has an aunt who married far away.
Li Zhou glanced at the attribute points and thought complacently, it was just that there was no attribute for wisdom, otherwise she would have maxed it out long ago.
The old lady sat next to the young child, her hands flat on her knees, her toes touching the ground, and she rocked her body gently, like a child.
Li Zhou waved the sword for a while and felt thirsty. He drank some tea, which tasted sweet with the aroma of glutinous rice.
She was about to get straight to the point.
“Ohhhh.”
At the door, a majestic big rooster strolled over, and with the kick of its claws, a black object rolled around.
Li Zhou looked at the sky in confusion: "Why are they crowing at this time?"
The child's face changed.
Glutinous rice, rooster, and black donkey hooves, she had no reaction at all.
They must be more careful and not bring disaster upon themselves.
He gently pulled the old woman with his hand hanging by his side.
The old lady hurriedly said, "Auntie, have some tea."
The child raised his tender face and said sweetly, "Thank you for your hard work, aunt."
Li Zhou said "hmm" quite comfortably, as if she was really the aunt who was sure of it: "Actually, I came back home because I heard that something big happened in the village."
Since it is an immortal ascending to heaven, there will definitely be a lot of noise.
Things like colorful clouds, the sky gate opening wide, and auspicious cranes leading the way.
She stared at the old man and the young man suggestively.
For a moment, the old woman and the child felt as if they were stared at by the abyss, and their bodies were completely unable to move.
The young boy paused with his mouth open, and a chill suddenly ran through his heart. How dare he think of a good thing like the quarrel between the snipe and the clam? With their little arms and legs, they have the nerve to think of themselves as the fishermen?
"Yes, something happened."
All the thoughts in her mind were thrown aside at this moment. The child swallowed his saliva, jumped off the chair, ran to Li Zhou, hugged her thighs, and cried in his voice.
"Auntie, I'm scared."
Hmm? Fear rather than yearning?
Li Zhou frowned and straightened the child: "Don't be afraid, tell me, what happened?"
"There was something at night, at night." The child wiped the tears from his cheeks and told everything.
It turns out that something strange happened three months ago.
First, the dogs in the village barked wildly all night long. When we woke up the next day, we would always see one or two dog corpses.
The villagers thought they were being targeted by bandits, so they organized young and strong men to patrol at night. The lights were kept on in every household. There were not enough hoes and sickles, so the only carpenter in the village even brought his apprentice to rush to make a batch of spears.
After a few days of vigilance, the dog stopped barking, but something worse happened.
When the young daughter-in-law of the village chief was doing embroidery by candlelight, she heard someone calling her name outside the house. She leaned over to look through the crack in the door, but saw nothing.
The village chief thought she was suffering from hysteria, so he scolded her and told her not to cause trouble at this time.
But the next afternoon, my daughter-in-law developed a high fever and became unconscious.
The younger son hurried to the town to invite a doctor, who prescribed medicine. After much difficulty, he managed to get the medicine down his throat. But when he woke up at night, his eyes had turned into vertical green pupils, which scared his sister-in-law who was accompanying him half to death.
The young daughter-in-law put her feet together, skipped out of the door, muttering something in a muffled voice, and went straight up the mountain.
Fortunately, they were spotted by a patrol team on the way and were sent home. They only stopped after their hands and feet were tied.
The village chief then realized that this was something strange, so he got up early the next day and went to the town to ask someone to exorcise the evil spirit.
The whole village collected two strings of cash and hired a lame Taoist priest to help. He and his two apprentices performed a ritual for half a day, and the daughter-in-law really returned to normal.
No one expected that this was just the beginning of the nightmare.
Starting with the village chief's youngest son, people began to hear strange noises at night, sometimes rustling like scales rubbing against the ground, and sometimes hissing, mixed with obscure words.
Without exception, those who heard the strange sound had strange black spots on their bodies when they woke up the next day.
The man with spots gradually forgot how to walk. He put his legs together and crawled like a snake. When no one was paying attention, he crawled into the mountain and never came back.
The village chief's family, Widow Xu's family, the carpenter's family, the teacher's family... all suffered.
The rest of the people wanted to go to the county town to report to the police, but every time they reached the village entrance, they got lost and went around in circles, and ended up back in the village.
All they could do was stuff cotton into the ears of the family members and tie their hands and feet at night.
After enduring such hardship for half a decade, the officials from the imperial court arrived. The villagers were so happy that they killed several chickens and set up a banquet to entertain the officials, thinking that they would be able to escape from the sea of suffering.
The adults investigated in the village and said that the source was on the misty mountain and that there was a monster causing trouble.
Those adults were all good people. They went up the mountain to eliminate the pests overnight. No one could sleep that night. People waited at the foot of the mountain. Firecrackers and gongs and drums were ready, waiting to celebrate with the adults.
Everyone waited from dusk to dawn, and from dawn to dusk. Their eyes were red from staying up late, but they still didn't get down the mountain.
By the next night, the strange rustling and hissing sounds became more intense in everyone's ears.
Everyone rushed back home, and no one knew when this statue of the god was hung in their home.
Having said this, the old lady and the child looked at the Buddha statue hanging on the wall in awe, knelt on the ground tremblingly, and kowtowed.
Obviously, just telling this story puts a lot of psychological pressure on them.
Li Zhou stood up suddenly.
Judging from this description, it might be that this snake demon picked up a treasure left by an immortal and then cultivated himself to success.
She mentioned the grandfather and grandson, and drew the sword behind her: "I'm already here, why are you still kneeling?"
Although she was unsure, she had a golden finger, so how could she not show off?
This snake demon was probably a small monster prepared for her by the Immortal Cultivation Simulator. Killing it would drop her True Cultivation Method.
Li Zhou immediately sorted out the logic and said confidently: "Let me try it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a dog barked outside the house.
“Woof woof woof!”
Li Zhou turned back angrily: "Dog has any objection?"
The toddler stretched out his little hand and pulled her.
She lowered her head: "What's wrong?"
The child turned pale and said, "All the dogs in the village have died a long time ago."
