"A snake demon?"
Hearing this, I was slightly taken aback, not expecting that this thing was actually a snake demon.
This isn't the first time I've encountered a snake demon. If I'm not mistaken, the fat woman and the flower girl when we first entered the guesthouse were probably snake demons.
It's all connected, connected once again.
I don't know why, but somehow all these things are connected.
"A snake demon! This thing is actually a snake demon!"
This time, Liu Sandao was also surprised.
It seems that even Liu Sandao doesn't know the identity of this thing.
"Yes, after all these years, I only just realized that this thing's true form was actually a snake demon!"
"That's really weird. Everything was fine before, but things suddenly changed a few days ago!"
Zhou the tailor couldn't help but complain.
I got a useful piece of information from Zhou the tailor: it turns out that this thing had been suppressed normally all along, but then the situation suddenly changed.
Could it be because of Wu Zhiguo's men?
I made a bold guess.
That makes sense.
Wu Zhiguo's men have no way to come to Haopo Village, so they can only do some things in Shangjiao Village.
That just happened to loosen the seal here.
"Xiao Chen, have you discovered something?"
As I was deep in thought, Zhou the tailor noticed my unusual behavior and quickly asked me what was wrong.
"Brother Zhou, what's inside probably didn't break the seal on its own; it was likely released by someone!"
I forced a smile and shared my guess.
"No wonder, I always felt there was something strange about how these seals broke. These people are quite resourceful; they managed to hide human traces!"
After hearing my ideas, Zhou the tailor suddenly understood.
He also felt that the breaking of this seal was indeed a bit strange.
Something seems off.
"Xiao Chen, have you offended someone?"
Suddenly, Zhou the tailor turned around, stared at me, and asked.
I nodded awkwardly and briefly explained the conflict between Wu Zhiguo and me.
"Brother Liu knows this too, which is why I have been working hard to learn magic, all for the sake of revenge."
I quickly pointed at Liu Sandao.
"Yes, senior brother, Xiao Chen is right, Xiao Chen is a good prospect!"
Liu Sandao also spoke up for me.
"Brother, my senior brother is actually quite shrewd and can predict the future. He should have already prepared for many things, so don't worry."
Liu Sandao held Zhou the tailor in high esteem.
"Okay, be careful!" Zhou the tailor simply said, then turned around and carefully led the way for me.
Led by Zhou the tailor, the three of us entered the cave dwelling.
The cave dwelling was dark and eerie.
That smell made me feel uncomfortable.
At that moment, I sensed that something was amiss.
Actually, I was a little puzzled when I first met Zhou the tailor, and now that I've entered the cave dwelling, that feeling of confinement is even more pronounced.
I suddenly remembered that yesterday at Zhou the tailor's house, the aunt showed me Zhou the tailor's notes, which detailed how to help people break free from being controlled.
There are also many more advanced purification mantras.
I realized that the tailor in front of me, Zhou, might already be under control; no wonder he seemed a bit strange.
They must have anticipated this calamity.
After thinking it through, I took out the talisman I had prepared earlier and stuck it directly on Zhou the tailor's Zhaohai acupoint.
"Brother, what's going on?"
Seeing my actions, Liu Sandao, who was standing to the side, was quite surprised.
I didn't explain much, and started reciting the incantations recorded in my notes.
Zhou the tailor's body was bound, and soon, some black smoke seeped out from his neck.
After a moment, Zhou the tailor's eyes cleared.
"I've definitely been influenced. This guy's methods are becoming more and more subtle!"
After Zhou the tailor recovered, he looked at me with a somewhat complicated expression.
It seems that even though he was being controlled, Zhou the tailor still remembered everything that had just happened.
"Xiao Chen, you did a great job. Luckily, I had a backup plan beforehand, and you were able to see that something was wrong with me!"
Zhou the tailor praised me generously.
"But you, San Dao, after all these years, your observation skills don't seem to have improved at all. Didn't you notice that?"
After praising me, Zhou the tailor looked at Liu Sandao with a reproachful tone.
"Senior brother is right!"
Liu Sandao felt very ashamed. Perhaps he had also noticed something was wrong, but he had trusted his senior brother too much.
"Be careful, this thing is very strange. Follow me and don't make any rash moves."
Zhou the tailor walked at the front, not forgetting to give us some instructions.
I pulled Old Knife along, leading him forward.
There was no other way; Lao Dao was so scared his legs were trembling. If we didn't help him, he wouldn't be able to walk at all.
The cave dwelling was dark and long. Zhou the tailor took out a flashlight and shone it ahead.
"Brother Zhou, if someone damaged this place, what methods did they use?"
I asked tentatively.
If it really was Wu Zhiguo's people who did it, then breaking the seal would probably be more complicated than simply removing the talisman.
Moreover, I can't see what the point is of Wu Zhiguo's people releasing this monster.
"It must be because the protective charm left by my master was removed. It was only after that thing inside became so arrogant."
"That's what Zhou the tailor explained," Zhou explained.
"That's the strange thing. That guy removed the protective charm, but didn't continue casting spells to release what was inside."
I'm a little confused about his purpose!
Zhou the tailor shook his head.
"The Brahma Mind Concentration Diagram has been taken away?"
After hearing what Zhou the tailor said, Liu Sandao's face turned very ugly.
Liu Sandao should know about this picture.
"Yes, I searched for a whole day but couldn't find it. At first, I thought that the beast had taken it away, but after Xiao Chen reminded me, I guess someone took it."
But what exactly is he trying to do?
Zhou the tailor scratched his head and thought for a long time, not quite understanding what the other party wanted to do.
The protective charms have all been taken away, so why not just break the seal and release the thing inside?
"A painting?"
I was a little surprised because I got two paintings from the fake Zhou Feng.
One of the paintings even had a binding effect on me.
"Yes, to be precise, they are two landscape paintings. Once activated, they have a strong binding effect, making them a powerful magical artifact left to me by my master."
Seeing my confusion, Liu Sandao quickly explained.
I gave Lao Dao a strange look and asked him to take the painting out of his backpack.
As soon as the backpack was opened, a strange wind blew out of the entire cave.
I suppose the contents of the backpack frightened the creature inside.
"How did I end up here with you?"
