Xu Xuan squatted by the small river at the entrance of the village, staring at the river in a daze.

The puppy Dudou was jumping around and chasing a butterfly, and he couldn't sense his owner's sadness.

Xu Xuan was indeed a little annoyed.

He was stunned by the beautiful woman he rescued from the pond two days ago.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life.

Even though he could tell from the woman's appearance and clothing that they were from two different worlds, he still had some unrealistic fantasies.

Until today, the woman woke up and asked him where she fell into the water.

He happily took her there and saw that she had found the jade hairpin in the crevice of the stone.

He wanted to take the opportunity to say a few more words to her, but after the woman got the things, she said she had something to do and left.

She knows magic!

Xu Xuan was both happy and sad.

He doesn't like catching snakes, but is obsessed with the secret arts of Qimen Bagua and the Five Elements, and yearns to be a person who practices spiritual cultivation.

When he learned that he had saved a fairy with magical powers, his excitement was self-evident.

But at the first sight, he had already developed feelings of love for her. When he learned that there was a huge gap between their identities, he was sad and frustrated.

He didn't blame the other party for leaving without saying goodbye, but he was secretly annoyed that he didn't say "goodbye".

Just as Xu Xuan was thinking this, he suddenly saw a reflection appear on the water surface.

It's her!

Xu Xuan turned around quickly.

"A Xuan." Xiaobai said softly.

She heard everyone in the village call Xu Xuan that way, so she started calling him that too.

"You...you didn't leave?" Xu Xuan couldn't hide the happiness on his face.

But when he saw the two men behind Xiaobai, his expression changed slightly and he looked a little unnatural.

The two men's clothing was somewhat different from that of the locals, but their temperaments were so unique that he inexplicably felt ashamed of himself.

"Thank you for your help earlier." Xiaobai said.

"It's just a piece of cake. Someone else would save you." Xu Xuan replied quickly.

"This glass of wine is just a thank you gift, please don't refuse it." Xiaobai smiled.

Her smile made Xu Xuan stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses: "Ah, no, how could I refuse."

He took the wine glass with both hands, sniffed the fragrant wine, and was secretly surprised.

"Could it be that she is a fairy who came down to earth and went to heaven specifically to get me this glass of wine as a thank you gift?" Xu Xuan thought to himself.

Under Xiaobai's gaze, he brought the wine glass to his lips without hesitation.

To show his satisfaction with this "thank you gift", he closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.

When the last drop of wine entered his stomach, a huge stream of information suddenly flooded into his mind.

Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao...

Various wonderful ways of cultivation flashed through Xu Xuan's mind, and he absorbed this information eagerly.

The door to spiritual practice has slowly opened in his mind.

It took him a long while to absorb all this information and he opened his eyes.

It turned out to be a cultivation method! Before Xu Xuan could be happy, he found that the beauty in front of him had already left.

He held the empty wine glass and looked around. Only the bellyband met his eyes.

As if sensing his thoughts, Dudou looked up at the sky and barked twice.

It was only when he returned to the village that Xu Xuan heard about the "immortals".

When he heard that three people had flown away into the sky, he felt lost.

…

Inside Chang'an city.

The Imperial Master is angry.

He was the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty, second only to the emperor, yet he was assassinated.

Even though his men found out that the matter might be related to the snake clan, he was still furious.

"A bunch of idiots who are more likely to cause trouble than to help!" He kicked the boy in front of him and was about to continue venting when he suddenly heard a terrified shout.

"Oh no! The enemy is here to kill us!"

This was accompanied by various screams and pleas for mercy.

The national teacher was stunned for a moment, then a sneer appeared on his face.

"These filthy snake demons not only didn't flee, but they even dared to come to our door."

There was a flash of red in his eyes.

He was originally a cultivator of the orthodox Xuanmen school. In his early years, he accidentally obtained a martial arts book called "Taiyin Zhengong".

After studying it for some time, he discovered that this technique was exclusively used by the demon race with yin attributes.

It’s not that human cultivators cannot practice, but if they continue to practice for a long time, their bodies will inevitably become demonic, and they will become neither human nor ghost.

But there is a quick shortcut to master this technique.

It can be "shared and common, with all streams returning to their source".

Even if it is impossible to find other demon tribes that practice this kind of martial arts, one can still increase his strength by refining snakes with strong yin energy.

At that time, his time of death was approaching, and he finally couldn't resist the temptation and practiced this technique. His strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he became the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty.

What interested him most was naturally the snake demon that also practiced the same technique. Unfortunately, the mother snake hid too deeply, and he could never find its lair.

Now it seems that the snake tribe has been forced into a desperate situation and is planning to fight to the death with him.

Hearing the screams outside, the Imperial Master sneered.

With such a loud noise, he felt that it must have been the snake mother herself who made the move.

If he were outside, he might still have some concerns, but he could go to his own Imperial Master's Mansion...

Looking at the trembling boys, he snorted, stood up and walked towards the gate.

He has set up a formation here, so even if a god comes, let alone the snake mother...

The Imperial Master was just thinking when he suddenly heard a loud noise, and then he saw the door in front of him explode and fly straight towards him.

Bang! He used his magic power to move the door panel aside, overturning his alchemy furnace, and dropping half-dead snakes.

Seeing the woman in white in front of him, he frowned and looked suspicious.

This snake demon seems to look different from the mother snake.

This doubt flashed through the national teacher's mind for only a moment, and his expression turned unfriendly again.

"Who are you?" the national teacher asked coldly.

"I'm going to kill you!" Looking at the snake corpses all over the ground, some of which had already awakened their intelligence and even had half a human body grown out of them, groaning in pain under the alchemy furnace, the little white man's face was filled with anger.

The Imperial Master laughed loudly: "How dare a mere snake demon speak so arrogantly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stomped heavily on the ground, and his magic power rippled out from the soles of his feet.

A formation suddenly emerged from under the mansion.

"This formation is called..."

The state teacher had a cold and arrogant look on his face, and was just about to humiliate this ignorant snake demon and show her the power of his formation, but unexpectedly he felt a burning sensation.

With a loud bang, the entire formation was suddenly shattered, and the mansion was filled with fire.

The aftermath of the explosion, carrying with it terrifying energy, almost blew him away.

But before he could come to his senses, he saw a brilliant sword light suddenly appear in his field of vision.

A moment later, the national teacher half-knelt on the ground, looking at the huge bloody hole in his chest, his face full of disbelief.

"Go find the Snake Mother!"

"Yes, a quick victory. I must have a good look at the Tang Chang'an City."

Before the Imperial Master lost consciousness, he saw two blurry figures appear beside the white-clothed snake demon, and faint sounds of conversation also appeared in his ears.
