Minwen still vividly remembers the green python.
Exorcising demons is the duty of a Taoist priest. Years ago, he heard that a snake demon lived on the shores of the East Sea. So he packed his bags and set out to subdue the demon. But this battle taught him a lesson so painful he would never forget it.
He was seriously injured in a major battle and it took him eight years to recover.
The power of the Azure Python filled Min with dread. But it also made him understand some things.
The green python had the power to kill him, but for some unknown reason, it spared his life. Because of this, after recovering from his injuries, he let go of the grudge and later joined the Special Security Bureau without hesitation. That battle taught him that there are good and bad among demons and humans… not all demons are evil.
This ill-fated relationship... he stumbled upon it again forty years later.
Green Python: "Who says demons have to stay in one place? You caused such a ruckus in my cave that I had to move for peace and quiet. Are you trying to wear me down or what? You keep destroying my cave. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Min frowned upon hearing this: "Is this your cave dwelling?"
Green Python: "If it's not my cave, does that mean it's yours?"
Min Wen had a complicated story to tell about the Green Python. When he first encountered it, he noticed it had no human blood or aura, suggesting it hadn't done anything heinous. But back then, in the eyes of Taoists, a demon was a demon, good or bad; if you encountered one, you had to subdue it. Forty years had passed, and this snake still lacked any human blood or aura… It must be a demon solely focused on cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Min put aside his long-held concerns and, not wanting to get entangled with the green python any longer, said, "Since this is your cave, we will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."
The green python flicked its tail: "Do you think this place is a general store? You can come and go as you please. Look, you've damaged my cave entrance by fighting and blocked it. You're not allowed to leave. You have to clear away that pile of rubble in front of my entrance before you can go."
The green python was not afraid of Min Wenzhi at all. Forty years ago, he was not afraid of him, and forty years later, bound by an agreement, he was even less afraid.
Min paused upon hearing this, turned around, and gave the green python a complicated look.
After a while, he waved his hand, and five talismans instantly took shape on the ground. Five little ghosts with painted faces appeared in a wisp of green smoke. They laughed and joked, like a few mischievous little devils, and climbed to the cave below the cliff to start moving the rocks.
While the little devil was carrying things, Min Wen hesitated for a moment before asking, "Green Python, since you cultivate here on Fuding Mountain, have you ever seen a Teng Snake here?"
The green python paused slightly, looking at Min Wenzhi as if he were a monster, and said, "Tengshe, are you playing me? Why don't you just ask me if I've ever seen a dragon... Tch, what era are we living in? Flood dragons are about to become extinct, and you still call me Tengshe?"
Min asked, "Really not?" After saying that, he lowered his head and secretly glanced at the compass that Zhou Yifei had picked up.
This compass bears the aura of the Teng Snake that underwent tribulation outside Penang. The aura of this place is most similar to that of the Teng Snake. Even if the Teng Snake never lived here, it must have appeared here before.
Also, if the green python said this was his cave, what about the other three demons that appeared?
Could it be that the lair of a group of demons is all here?
The green python had traveled the world for a long time and had dealt with Taoist priests countless times, so it was extremely knowledgeable about their Taoist arts. As soon as it saw Min Wenzhi's movements, it knew what he was doing.
"What do you mean? Are you questioning my words?" The green python's eyes narrowed, and its aura suddenly surged as it spoke sharply.
As the aura of the Azure Python changed, a fierce wind suddenly swept through the entire canyon. The compass in Min Wenzhi's hand also spun rapidly. In the end, the remaining aura of Luo Mang on it bore a slight resemblance to the aura of the Azure Python.
Min glanced at the compass, his brow furrowing slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
The auras are similar. Could it be that he's mistaken, and this really is just the azure python's lair?
"Sorry to bother you."
As they were talking, the little devils that Min Wenzhi had sent out had already cleared away the rubble in front of the cave.
Although Min Wenzhi had his doubts, he dared not linger any longer. He said something to Qing Mang, then turned around and asked Zhou Yifei to wake up the three juniors who had been knocked unconscious by Su Yi. Then, he and the others disappeared into the night.
Once the Taoist priests had completely left, the green python, flicking its thick, fleshy tongue, breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, they managed to fool Old Daoist Min away. Fortunately, he and Luo Mang were from the same clan and were also mortal enemies, so he was very familiar with him. Moreover, he had spent time with Yin Huan during this period, otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to imitate his aura.
Hopefully, after this incident, these Taoist priests will not come to Fuding Mountain again.
This is, after all, a place where Silver Ring once lived, so there would inevitably be some clues left behind. Taoist magic is profound and extensive, and no one can say for sure if they have any secret techniques or methods that could detect traces of Silver Ring's activities.
Silver Ring slowly climbed down from the treetop. With a furrowed brow, she said with certainty, "They are looking for Big Brother."
Green Python: "Hmm. We won't stay at Fuding Mountain for long. Silver Ring, what are you looking for? Go find it quickly, and we'll go down the mountain once we find it."
Yin Huan frowned: "Yes, let's go now."
Without entering, Yin Huan took a deep look at her former home, flicked her tail, and immediately led the group in another direction of the mountain.
Now that things have come to this, she's starting to get a little nervous.
Judging from Qingmang's behavior, this group of people were most likely looking for their leader to find her and then use her as a powerful tonic. Damn it, humans are so cunning; she felt that if she really fell into the hands of humans, a great tragedy awaited her.
