Chapter 73

"The thunder was clearly meant to strike the snake. What else could it be but a monster? Wild animals are not usually struck by thunder."

The villagers said.

"Did the snake do anything to you besides lying there?"

"No, no. If the snake had done anything else, we would have died a long time ago."

"You want me to get rid of the monster. Do you want me to chase it away or kill it?"

"It's all right, as long as it doesn't block our way again."

The villagers answered and showed Qingyun the way.

Qingyun followed the instructions and went into the mountains, wanting to find the snake, but the villagers clearly said that the snake was blocking the road leading into the mountain from the village, but he didn't see it.

He looked around and was stopped by a beautiful young girl. The girl was dressed like a village girl, wearing a pink dress, blue cloth shoes, and a loose bun on her head.

The girl was carrying a small basket in her hand. There seemed to be some bird egg mushrooms in the basket, and it was covered with a layer of blue and white checkered cloth, which looked a bit wild.

"Girl, have you seen a white snake here?"

Qingyun walked over and asked.

"White snake? I have never seen one. I just heard that there seemed to be a white snake lying on the road recently, but maybe it was just a drunken peasant who spread nonsense." The girl

replied with a smile.

Qingyun nodded and turned to leave, but the girl stopped him.

"Since you are here, why don't you come to my house and sit for a while. My house is nearby. If there is a white snake, maybe you can see it after a while. If not, you can take a rest. How about it?"

The girl asked kindly.

"Then I'd rather obey your command. Thank you for your kindness, girl."

Qingyun hesitated and nodded.

The girl smiled and took him home.

It was a small wooden house.

The house was very simple, with a fence outside, which seemed to be used to prevent wild animals. Although if there were really wild animals, the fence outside the door would not be able to prevent them.

The girl poured him a glass of water.

"There is nothing good here, you can moisten your throat, I will cook now."

The girl put the cup of water on the table, said a few words to Qingyun, and turned to go to the kitchen.

"I will help you."

Qingyun stood up and said.

"Then drink this cup of water and follow me."

The girl handed him the cup of water.

He suspected that there was something wrong, pretended to drink it, but actually hid the water and only showed the empty cup to the girl.

After the girl looked at him, she nodded, put the cup aside, and took him into the kitchen. He felt even more strange.

Normally, even if the girl was brave, she would not reach out to pull the clothes of a strange man. So it was strange that the girl invited him to her home as soon as they met.

When they arrived in the kitchen, the girl opened the basket, and there was indeed a pile of mushrooms and bird eggs inside. The girl asked Qingyun to wash the mushrooms and give them to her.

The girl washed the eggs herself.

Qingyun washed the mushrooms and stood by to watch the girl crack the bird eggs and make a plate of fried mushrooms with boiled eggs.

After that, the girl cooked two bowls of noodles. The two hot bowls were filled with a lot of water. This was today's lunch.

The girl asked Qingyun to bring his own bowl of noodles to the table.

Then the girl went back to the kitchen and brought the plate of fried egg with mushrooms to the table in the living room. There was only one table here, so this was both a living room and a restaurant.

"That's all we'll have today. Don't be polite. Eat it."

The girl said to Qingyun with a smile.

Qingyun nodded and tried to eat some.

The girl ate most of it without hesitation.

It looked like there was no poison in the food.

But Qingyun was still suspicious, so he remained alert. He squinted his eyes and said that he was a little sleepy and wanted to rest. The girl happily made the bed for him.

"This is my room. There is only one bed here. If you want to rest, just lie down here. It won't be too late to go out and find monsters after you have recovered."

The girl said with a smile.

Qingyun nodded.

The girl closed the door and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Just when Qingyun thought that nothing happened and he could really rest, the girl suddenly opened the door and walked in.

Qingyun lay on the bed with his eyes closed, very alert. The girl tiptoed to his bedside, swung around, and transformed into a big white python, opening her mouth to swallow him.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the white snake was startled.

"How did you wake up? Forget it, since you are lying in bed, waking up will not help. Do you feel sore and numb all over now?

My snake venom is everywhere in this room. You got it as soon as you came in, not to mention you have been here for so long, you can't escape. Just surrender!"

The white snake said and laughed, still wanting to eat Qingyun.

After Qingyun heard what it said, he wanted to sit up, but he actually felt sore and numb all over his body. He was poisoned.

He lay back down, thinking that there was no hope for recovery this time.

Suddenly someone shouted outside the door.

"Evil beast! How dare you hurt people, and why don't you surrender?"

The voice sounded familiar, but Qingyun had already fainted.

The white snake crawled out with a shake of its body. Looking outside, it saw a man standing at the door. It didn't see anyone else, and it became proud.

"Who do you think you are? You dare to come to my door and shout alone. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Today I will let you know how powerful our ancestors are."

The white snake said, opening its mouth and pouncing over.

A golden light flashed, and the white snake's body shrank suddenly. It was turned into the size of a loach by magic, and it even looked vaguely transparent.

The white snake was surprised and shouted on the ground: "You can't kill me, you can't kill me. If you kill me, the poison of the people inside can't be cured."

"It's just a snake venom, how difficult is it to cure it?"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, it's just that my venom is stronger than other venoms, it can't be cured in a short time, if you delay the time, the person will die."

"You dare to threaten me?"

"No, no, just spare my life, I will never do such a thing again."

"It's easy to spare your life."

The man smiled slightly, took out a small pill, and said to the white snake, if you can eat this pill, then I will spare its life.

The white snake hesitated and asked: "What is the effect of this pill?"

"If you have the intention to harm others again, I will make you have abdominal pain. If you really harm others, I will make you die of liver and intestines. If you turn over a new leaf, this thing will turn into pure air and will not affect you."

The man replied.

"I will eat it, I will eat it now."

The white snake replied hurriedly.

As he said that, the white snake ate the pill, and his belly swelled up, unable to hide anything.

"Now go and cure the snake venom of the man inside."

Green said.

"I'll go right away."

The white snake replied.

The white snake cured Qingyun of the snake venom and asked Green to take the man away.

"Let him rest here. If he wants to leave, he will leave naturally. If he doesn't leave, it has nothing to do with me."

Green said and was about to leave, but the white snake stopped him.

"If he asks about something, what should I say? If he wants to kill me, what should I do?"

The white snake asked.

"If he wants to kill you, just explain the matter. If he wants to beat you, just run away. Do you have to kill him?

If he is vicious, you can't fool him. If he is careful, he shouldn't be poisoned by you."

Green replied.

"But what if he asks about the immortal? Should I tell him the truth, or not?"

The white snake hesitated.

"If he insists on asking, you can just explain. If he doesn't ask, he knows what's going on. No need to say more."

Green replied.

"Disciple knows."

The white snake realized that the power that was suppressing him had been lifted, so he turned into a human form and knelt on the ground to speak.

Green turned into smoke and left.

After a while, Qingyun opened his eyes and woke up. He sat up from the bed, his limbs still a little weak. He rubbed his eyes and was surprised to see the white snake kneeling beside him.

"Why are you kneeling here?"

"Young Master, I was just joking with you before. I know I was wrong. Please don't mind my mistake. I am willing to work like a cow and a horse for you. Please forgive me this time."

"Why do I want you to work like a cow and a horse for me?"

"Young Master has already known my true identity. I am willing to serve you and be your pet. If you don't give up, I am willing to sign a blood contract."

The white snake knelt on the ground and said.

Qingyun hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"Then tell me, what happened during the time I was unconscious?"

Qingyun asked.

"A monk came and asked me to turn over a new leaf. I took his elixir and had to listen to him."

The white snake replied.

Qingyun nodded doubtfully.

He rested for a while and got up to hurry on.

The white snake volunteered to be Qingyun's mount.

"Can you ride the clouds and mist?"

Qingyun looked at it suspiciously.

"To be honest, young master, I can do it."

The white snake answered respectfully.

"Can you travel a thousand miles a day?"

Qingyun asked tentatively.

"Yes, but I can't go that fast all the time."

The white snake replied.

"Well, I'll leave it to you."

Qingyun turned over and lay on the white snake.

The white snake turned into a long piece and flew into the sky, heading towards the sect like a dragon.

After a series of changes, the white snake gradually became smaller and landed at the gate of the sect.

Qingyun put the white snake in his pocket and walked back to the sect.

The other disciples were very happy to see him back, but they felt very sorry to see him so miserable.

"If Senior Brother had come back earlier, maybe this wouldn't have

happened." "But it's better for Senior Brother to come back than not."

"Glad that you're back, Senior Brother, come to my house when you have time."

Many disciples greeted him along the way, and he returned to his residence.

But he stood at the door of his residence and didn't dare to knock.

Is the master in there? Will he be angry with him? Will he beat him or scold him? Or will he let him be punished first, and then come to learn from him?

It seems that no matter how hard he thinks, he can't think of anything good.

Maybe from the moment his hand was broken, there will be no good things in the future.

He raised his hand and put it down again, turned around and wanted to leave, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw another person in front of him.

Green was in front of him.
