Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Snake's Two Faces
Chen Ge gradually woke up from the pain, screaming when he thought of what had just happened. He wanted to rush out of the door, but everything in front of him was pitch black, as if maggots that had been decomposed but not yet died were struggling to survive in pain.
Until the sky was shrouded in the crimson twilight, a red satin robe folded over a white robe and trailing on the ground fell in front of him, and an indescribable fragrance was mixed in with the bloody ice and snow.
It’s from Junior Brother Pu.
Chen Ge was overjoyed. He raised his battered face and moved in the direction of the scent, murmuring, "Brother Pu, please save me, please save me..."
He thought he was saved, but he didn't know that the young man standing in front of him still had red marks on his pale cheeks. He lowered his strangely dark eyes and smiled faintly, admiring his current appearance.
It looks like a dying hyena.
"Junior Brother Pu? Junior Brother Pu, are you there? Save me quickly, I know your secret, and I am here to make a deal with you." Chen Ge couldn't wait for a response and began to talk nonsense.
This time, he received a gentle and elegant response from the young man.
"What secret of mine do you know, brother?"
Chen Ge knew where he was going and squirmed frantically towards him, muttering uncontrollably, "Junior Brother, I know you almost had an affair with Senior Sister Ming at Chongritai. You're a lecherous person by nature, and you can't live without women. You're a natural born slut."
Dirty words came out of his mouth, but Pu Yuemin did not get angry. Instead, she took a step back when he came closer, and the ends of her long hair hanging on the snow were stained with white snow.
He asked gently, "Where did you hear that, brother?"
Chen Ge was in so much pain that he was practically dying, and his will to survive was even stronger. "That day, my brother was cleaning Chongri Terrace. He had recently acquired a magical weapon that could turn you invisible and transmit sound. When we discovered you, you started clamoring to spread the news. He was worried about being robbed, so he agreed to go to Chongri Terrace and use the magical weapon to steal things, so that we could all become inner disciples. Whatever he heard that day, we all heard."
"You guys?" Pu Yuemin sat on the stone table, his long legs lazily bent and his head tilted. "Are there a lot of people?"
"A lot, there are three more. Junior Brother Pu, I'm here to make a deal with you. As long as you give me magical weapons, elixirs, and swordsmanship, I will definitely guarantee that from now on, only I will know about this matter, and no third person will know."
Originally, he wanted to increase his cultivation by stealing things, but the man disappeared after going to Chongritai. He thought that he must have stolen some treasure and didn't want to share it, so he ran away.
That's why he had such a vicious heart and made a deal with Pu Yuemin in advance before going to Chongritai before others.
Junior Brother Pu is a junior brother who is liked by everyone in the sect. He is clean, pure, and untainted like a snow lotus that emerges from the mud. He thought that Junior Brother Pu would not want the secret of his sexual desire to be discovered, especially by Senior Sister Ming.
Senior Sister Ming and Senior Brother He are the perfect match, so Junior Brother Pu will agree, he definitely will.
Chen Ge was reciting it like crazy in his mind.
After a long time, he finally felt the young man's gentle compassion from above his head, just as he had wished.
"Brother, I will save you."
Chen Ge was stunned at first, then ecstatic. Like a believer blessed by the great compassionate light of God, he prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed, his bloodied head drooping. "Thank you, Junior Brother! When I return, I will definitely help you keep this secret. Only you and I will know about this. I know you are kind, Junior Brother. I won't kill anyone, I'll just silence them forever. Junior Brother, don't worry, I will be as kind as you. After I become a disciple of our sect, I will carry forward your kindness and salvation. Junior Brother, you are my living parents..."
The man chattered incessantly, louder than the puppets playing around him. The young man sitting on the stone table stared at his head, which was covered in blood and frost, and raised his slender fingers condescendingly.
A thin white snake emerged from the fingertips, like a compassionate god or Buddha enlightening all living beings. It landed on the top of his messy head, opened its big mouth and bit his scalp, biting out his skull bit by bit.
It drilled in and ate the brain, heart, liver and lungs... The eye sockets that had lost their eyeballs slowly began to ooze out snake-like pupils, and ears grew out. The broken limbs and eaten internal organs were all produced, like a snake shedding its skin.
With the moon hanging high in the sky, the man is reborn.
-
The next day the sun rose high.
In front of the door of the Ice and Snow Cave, a strong man in short brown clothes walked out with a smile, followed by several small puppets who escorted him to a nearby place.
"Take care, Mr. Chen Daojun. Come back to the cave to find us another day."
Several little puppets reluctantly bid farewell to their friend. When the man disappeared from sight, they were about to turn back when they suddenly saw the female Taoist priest with a sword on her back. They all cried out in surprise.
"Ming Dao Jun, Ming Dao Jun..."
"It's Ming Dao Jun. What should we do? What should we do? Ming Dao Jun saw it! Did we say anything just now?"
"I don't know. I didn't say anything. You said it."
“It’s you…”
“…”
"Is it too late to hide now?"
“There’s still time…”
"It's too late." Ming Yueyi said, and stepped forward to pick up the slow-moving puppet that was dodging in all directions.
The puppet said, "It's over, it's over, I've been caught, save me, save me."
The other puppets didn't dare to rescue him, and they didn't even have time to run. Ming Yueyi easily pulled the little puppet with a sad face to his front.
She interrogated, "Why did I leave your cave just now?"
The little wooden puppet kept his mouth shut.
Ming Yueyi pulled open its wooden mouth with her hands and threatened with a squinting look: "If you don't tell me, I'll take your mouth off."
"Wuwu, Master Mingdao, please don't do it. I confess, I confess everything." The little wooden puppet had no loyalty of a captive. Covering his precarious mouth, he opened his mouth and said, "It's the master..."
"Senior Sister, you're here."
Before Pinocchio finished speaking, the boy's soft voice suddenly sounded behind him, and it floated into his ears with the gentleness of the morning light, making him feel relaxed and happy.
The little Pinocchio shut up and lay dead. This time it was really finished.
Mingyueyi looked up.
The young man looked like he had just come out of the shower, with even his slightly damp hair not combed out. The smile on his fair face was very endearing.
Mingyueyi put down the little puppet, and it instantly ran away like an arrow.
Mingyueyi ignored it and watched the young man walk towards him with great grace.
"What happened to that guy just now?"
Pu Yuemin stopped in front of her, staring blankly, "What?"
Ming Yueyi: "When I first arrived, I saw the spirit servant you kept in your cave send Chen Ge away."
Because of Chen Ge's words, Mingyueyi did not return to the cave after leaving yesterday. Instead, he went outside to inquire about Chen Ge's character. The answer he got was that this person was often cunning and not a good person.
Even when the person disappeared at Chongritai last time, the first person those people suspected was Chen Ge, saying that the missing person had obtained some extraordinary magical weapon, and Chen Ge killed people to steal the treasure.
That's what everyone says, but there's no evidence yet.
Ming Yueyi felt that no matter whether Chen Ge had killed people for treasure or not, he was definitely not a good person.
After she found out, she rushed to remind Pu Yuemin, but she never expected to see Chen Ge leaving.
Ming Yueyi asked, "What did he say to you?"
If Chen Ge threatened him with the secret of his furnace, his junior brother would definitely agree to his request as he was a saintly father.
In fact, agreeing to the request was secondary. The most important thing was that she was worried that Pu Yuemin would devote herself to being a cauldron for a man.
She couldn't help but feel worried as she thought about it.
The woman raised her fair jade face, her rosy eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her red lips moved beautifully when she spoke, as if she was a woman of desire in front of the Buddha, tempting the ignorant young man to bend over and taste her.
Pu Yuemin leaned down slightly, and was about to have his lips stained with her lipstick, but she stepped back and the distance between them widened.
Regret flashed in his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, and the root of his tongue felt itchy because he almost got what he wanted.
"Junior brother! Are you listening?" Ming Yueyi found that he looked dazed and seemed to be listening carefully, but it seemed that every word did not enter his ears.
The young man uttered an 'ah' in confusion, then smiled and said, "Sorry, Senior Sister, I didn't hear you clearly. Could you please say it again?"
Mingyue Yifu continued, "I've checked, and that man isn't a good person. I want you to be more vigilant. If he makes any excessive demands, tell me. Don't agree to him privately or let him hold you hostage. I will take care of him."
She has a magic weapon that she obtained a long time ago. It can make people forget a memory in their brain, but it can only be used once. Although the thing is useless, she has kept it in a mustard bag, and now it can be used.
Pu Yuemin murmured softly upon hearing this: "No wonder, Senior Sister wasn't in the cave last night, but was chatting and laughing with others."
Mingyue Yi was slightly startled, then asked him, "How do you know I'm not here?"
His delicate eyebrows raised, his dark eyes brimming with smiles: "Of course it's because I came to see Senior Sister."
The young man spoke frankly and had been coming here almost every day recently. Ming Yueyi had no doubts. "Did you remember it clearly?"
"Yeah." He drooped his eyelashes and trembled slightly, and agreed obediently.
Seeing that it was still early, Ming Yueyi said, carrying his broad sword on his back, "I'll go back and find out how to find the snow lotus. You should practice your sword skills well today."
Pu Yuemin looked at her as she was about to leave, a trace of confusion on his face, "Senior Sister, aren't you going to teach me sword skills today?"
Ming Yueyi shook his head: "No, your swordsmanship is already impressive. You will need to cultivate yourself in the future. I won't be of much use to you."
After hearing her words, the young man standing in the dim light lowered his thin lips slightly, and the light and shadow around him became much darker.
"Senior Sister is very helpful to me." He retorted softly, "Can you accompany me to practice swordsmanship today instead of going to find Xuelian first?"
"Junior brother." Ming Yueyi's tone was tinged with a rare coldness. "If you don't want to cure the fox demon's poison, you can tell me. No matter what happens in the future, it has nothing to do with me."
He was infected with the fox demon poison because of her. She helped him in this way so that he would have less trouble in the future. But she had already helped him so much. If he was unwilling to get rid of it, it would have nothing to do with her. No matter what he became in the future, she would no longer care about him.
Mingyueyi glanced at him and turned to leave.
Just as he took a step forward, the boy's naturally soft voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Senior Sister, don't you care about me anymore?"
Ming Yueyi turned her head and saw that the corners of his eyes were slightly red. Although he had a slender and tall figure, he always gave people a fragile feeling that he would be broken if he spoke harshly.
She knew that he was dependent on her because they had been too close recently. Seeing that he was feeling lost, even though she felt a little unhappy about what he had just said, she softened her heart.
Ming Yueyi comforted him, "You practice first. I'm going to Xueyun Peak to pick thousand-year-old snow lotus for you so that you won't have to be restricted by others in the future."
This was what she had been thinking about all night and she felt it was the best method. Although snow lotus was difficult to pick, with her current level of cultivation, she should be able to pick it.
This time, the young man seemed to have taken her soft words to heart. He looked at her with sparkling eyes, as obedient as usual: "Okay, I'll wait for Senior Sister to come back."
Mingyueyi turned around and left with his sword on his back.
Snow lotus is difficult to pick, so she is taking advantage of the melting ice on the snow mountain to find one as soon as possible.
Xueyun Peak is located in the northernmost part.
She needed to go back and prepare some magical tools, so she returned to the cave first.
The cave where she hadn't returned for the night should have been no different, but she was stunned when she pushed open the door.
A lot of frost condensed in the ancient courtyard, and unknown liquid was frozen on the tall trees, as if some kind of cold-loving animal regarded this place as its cave, and left its traces here wantonly to declare its sovereignty.
Snake fluid again...
Before, every time he came back from outside, the snake demon would only appear in the bedroom. But since Pu Yuemin often practiced in the cave, the snake demon might have been scared and never came again.
This time she just didn't come home for one night, and the place was ruined like this?
Mingyueyi's face turned extremely ugly, and he didn't want to step into the courtyard at all.
She didn't know why her cave had made the snake demon, who had never appeared, so obsessed with it. It had been using these disgusting things to mark its territory. If this continued, she would have to consider changing her cave.
Mingyueyi frowned and stood at the door for a while, then lifted her skirt and stepped carefully on the condensed frost on the ground.
The thin ice crackled crisply under my feet, like stepping on ice flowers.
Walking all the way to the inner courtyard, she used fire talismans to melt the frost around her. She frowned as she watched the transparent liquid on the ground seep into the soil after melting as if it had its own consciousness.
What kind of slime is this? It seems to be parasitic inside. Every time it seeps into objects, it disappears without a trace, leaving only a strange smell after it dissipates.
It smells like some unique musk, and also has a bit of the sweet smell of blood.
Mingyueyi entered the bedroom and found the same situation inside, even worse than outside.
She did the same thing to melt the frost, letting the liquid sink into the ground before lighting incense to dissipate the smell.
After doing all this, perhaps because she hadn't slept all night, she felt inexplicably sleepy.
Mingyueyi's face flushed as she shakily held onto the bed frame. She fell powerlessly onto the quilt, smelling a strange, faint fragrance and falling into a deep sleep.
The golden sun rose, and the courtyard where the ice and snow had just melted was bathed in sunlight. A beam of light fell into the bedroom from the window.
When He Wujiu arrived, he saw her lying on the couch with her clothes on, half of her fair little face sunk into the soft pillow, sleeping soundly.
After watching for a while and seeing that she was still sleeping, He Wujiu went forward to cover her with the quilt, but his fingertips accidentally touched something left on the bedding.
The fingertips paused slightly.
He took out his hand, placed his fingertips on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly. He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Mingyueyi's face, who was sleeping soundly on the pillow. The smile at the corner of his eyes had already fallen.
"Junior sister, what is this?"
Ming Yueyi heard someone talking, and raised her eyelids in a daze, vaguely seeing his face. She wanted to ask him why he was there, but she was too sleepy and slowly closed her eyes again.
He Wujiu stared at her motionlessly for a long time, until his movements became stiff. Then he put down his hand and wiped the unknown liquid from his fingertips with a silk handkerchief.
Not only did he clean his own hands, he also changed her bedding and cleaned every corner of the room carefully again, and finally saw the incense on the table.
He Wujiu stepped forward, opened the lid, inserted two fingers into the incense burner, stirred silently, and then put it under his nose to smell it.
A spice with a unique smell.
He put down his hand, leaned his head against the window, and his eyes fell on the woman on the couch. Her beautiful face was bathed in light, forming an illusory and cold expression that was hard to see.
The whole room was filled with the residual smell of male essence, and with such a huge amount, even with the use of incense to cover it up, some still remained in the corners, and this smell would not be able to form for a day or two.
