Chapter 069 Shedding Skin
If the snake had not confused its past life.
These words come from another version of myself who is a "teacher".
The snake silently brushed the dust off the statue with its tail.
As a child, Nineteen had a very high body temperature and could always warm up the snake. The snake generally liked to stay on her, and after a while, the tip of its tail became warm.
The cool scales rubbed against the rough surface of the stone sculpture, making a series of tapping sounds.
Tracing those blurred words.
The snake's pupils slowly shrank into needle-like shapes.
This is impossible.
How could the words written by a teacher appear here?
This dense forest definitely does not exist in Zhongzhou. In this world, the only two continents that the snake had not set foot on in his previous life were Dongzhou and Xizhou. The snake originally guessed that he had fallen into one of these two continents.
But how come the teacher’s words appear here?
Among the numerous and complicated memories of past lives in which only various strange ways of death remain, the teacher's memories are also unique. In those filtered descriptions, his mother, Xiaohong, and another countless disciple he had taught account for the majority, and a large part is used to store the knowledge obtained because of talent.
But those scraps still record the knowledge that the teacher brought from the original world.
After all, when the teacher first started teaching, the talent "Fragrant Peach and Plum Blossoms" did not provide much support.
The text that appears on the stone carvings is also part of the earliest knowledge.
After all, the strange world has its own unique writing and language.
Taking the Southern Province and the Central Province as examples, they use the Qilin script created by Qilin and speak the official elegant language designated by Qilin. In the wild Northern Province, most cities have different scripts and languages, and the common language is a dialect called "Northern Language".
Of course, in the first simulation, he had learned a language in his first previous life that he had never heard of in the strange world again.
But, all in all.
How could the words brought by the teacher appear here? And be engraved on the stone carvings so many years ago?
Could it be that this is a trap set by the "Frog Mother"?
But how could He clearly know the relationship between the snake and the teacher?
Except for Yan You and Wang Yu, with whom he had contacted before, the snake has been a good and innocent snake since birth.
Is this really possible?
Snake was silent for a moment.
Nothing is impossible.
Perhaps Nineteen and the others were forced to come out this time not just to detect the light beams of ordinary people.
The "frog mother" may have known about the birth of the snakes under some circumstances, but she was not sure which person it was, so she just packed them all up and sent them away.
This verification is much simpler. All you have to do is quietly go to the Mother Goddess's territory where Nineteen lives and take a look. It's probably deserted now.
If the snake was really just a powerless child, it would definitely not be able to accumulate so much magic power just by eating food.
Maybe this time he will really die and go back to the underworld. No matter whether it is Spider-Man, Snail Man, or Orchid Mantis Man, none of them are someone Yi Xiang can deal with. If the snake had not swallowed the jade statue before leaving, he would most likely have been defeated by Spider-Man.
When Sheshe thought of this, he uttered an angry, lengthy curse. A huge wooden board fell from the sky and hit the leading spider twice, making it dizzy and unaware of the time.
The leader spider was confused, but soon it became happy.
Why didn't the adults take pictures of the dog instead of others? It's because they value it! It was dizzy and smugly looking at the two people around it.
The leading mantis and the leading snail both looked at it with complicated expressions.
Sheshe finally felt relieved.
He stood up and signaled everyone to change positions and take action first.
But why did the Frog Mother want to make the statue old? Why did she make Nineteen look like the statue? She knew the relationship between the snake and Nineteen, so why did she drive everyone out?
No, He should only know the general situation. This statue should have nothing to do with Him. Let's put the matter of the statue aside for now.
How did the "Frog Mother" know that the snake would be born in that territory?
The snake had never heard of or seen this belief of the "Frog Mother"! How did He notice it?
etc!
Have you really never heard of snakes?
An extremely disgusting scene suddenly flashed through my mind.
Inside the shaking transparent body, there were densely packed black dots, just like the brain cores of those insects when they were leaping. The ones who assassinated the Qilin Emperor of Zhongzhou were none other than the evil cult from Dongzhou. It turned out that they were followers of the "Frog Mother"!
At that time, Snake was still the royal heir of "Yanyou", but the shocking scene he witnessed at that time was never forgotten from beginning to end.
The snake's tail coiled up in silence.
***
Yan You sneezed suddenly.
The Tianshi officer beside him was so nervous that he almost stepped forward.
The current emperor of Zhongzhou is very different from the previous dozen or so emperors of Zhongzhou.
The difference is that today people love change.
What is even more rare is that his reforms never caused terrible turmoil. Even after the redistribution of interests among all parties, ordinary people were able to gain real benefits, rather than being persecuted in a different way.
In contrast, there are many more evil officials in the court.
There are also rumors in the officialdom that many officials who were sent to other places could hear the whispering of evil spirits in the middle of the night, which scared some people so much that they felt like they were about to be born or ascend to heaven.
All in all, the officialdom has become much more clean-minded.
What is even more surprising is that -
All flames of unrest will always be extinguished in advance by the present.
No one understood how the current emperor obtained so much secret information, even the Heavenly Supervisor who was guarding him had no idea.
You can't just lie in the corner and listen to those who want to rebel, right?
It’s better to believe this...
——He is the reincarnation of the great god with superb hearing and superb vision. He is a living Bodhisattva sent down to save people from suffering and distress. He is the son of destiny favored by heaven!
After all, this is somewhat credible.
Look at what he has done today, one thing after another, as a rebel, ahem, ahem, trying hard to inherit the throne, only God knows how hard he has tried!
Countless people secretly regretted that they received the news too late when the palace coup occurred, and failed to become the emperor's first confidant.
The Astronomical Supervisor looked at Yan You worriedly.
Are you really alright?
Yan You rubbed his face, feeling that someone was thinking about him.
He opened the memorial in his hand.
All planned matters are progressing steadily.
Suddenly, Yan You paused, pursed his lips and looked at the final investigation results handed over by Shen Yu.
I still remember the evil cultist I met at the eldest princess' birthday banquet that day, the man named Qingnu.
He then appointed several astronomical officials to follow up and find out which sect this man belonged to and why he was able to sneak in.
The outcome of the matter was already written in black and white on the memorial submitted by Shen Yu.
She was a member of a religious sect invited from Dongzhou by the Second Princess's trusted maid.
Promised to him at that time.
If they can successfully assassinate the late emperor, after the Second Princess ascends the throne, she will be given the title of Zhongzhou State Religion, and the name of the sect's mother goddess "Frog Mother" will be praised throughout Zhongzhou.
Yan You stared at the two words.
In the silent hall, he whispered, "Frog Mother?"
The intelligence collected is not over yet.
It is said that in the land of Dongzhou, the name of the Frog Mother has long been known to all, and is the only hope for the people of Dongzhou in the face of the "black disaster".
Judging from the literal description, he feels like an upright god.
But as the rightful God, would He actually intervene to mess up the succession of the throne in Zhongzhou?
Yan You pursed his lips.
"Are you scared? Xiaoliu? I've told you to listen to me."
Yan You ignored the ghost of the woman leaning against the table.
"Xiao Liu? Please pay attention to me! I'm very bored." A hoarse voice fell into Yan You's ears.
"Ask me, I can tell you, I have seen those guys, I know them very well."
Yan You sighed helplessly and raised his head slightly.
In the hall, in front of the table, the woman in gorgeous clothes and a crown, with scales on her face, was looking at him with a smile, very intimately. Black smoke was swirling in the hall like the hem of her clothes that dragged on the ground.
The shadow of Qilin flashed across the deep black eyes with a thick red at the corners.
He changed direction and continued to review the memorials, as if his previous response was simply a transitional posture used to adjust his reviewing posture.
"Do you see me? Do you see me?"
"Pay attention to us! We all know you saw us."
"Ask us, we'll tell you!"
Countless dark figures kept speaking in the corners of the hall, and the overlapping sounds were like annoying music.
Qilin had died before him long ago, and the old memories that were left behind were truly disgusting.
“Dongdong——”
Yan You raised his head.
Shen Yu walked in quickly from outside the hall, bowed, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke.
"Something went wrong halfway through."
Shen Yu reported awkwardly.
"Delayed again?"
Yan You couldn't help but laugh.
"What's the reason this time?"
Chen Yu obviously also felt that the reason here was very strange, but this was passed down by the disciple under the strange god himself, so he had to say it no matter how outrageous it was.
He reported with a sad face: "I heard that he didn't see the pit ahead and fell into it."
***
The territory that was originally clearly separated from the darkness was swallowed up at some point.
As expected, they left, and never thought about the children coming back.
Snake pondered and patted the leading spider under him.
The disappearance of the Mother Goddess's territory made the snake more certain.
The purpose of those "holy ladies" coming here was not to find out about the disappearance of "Lord Frog", but to look for the reincarnation of the snake.
However, they did not expect that the snake did not have a human body this time. After searching for several times, they still found nothing and immediately decided to abandon all the reserve saints they had trained.
They had never imagined that their reincarnation would be a snake raised by the three girls.
If I had known this earlier, I would have eaten all the frogs I saw. I don’t know if I will be able to eat this delicious food again in the future.
Snake sighed.
The tip of the snake's tail couldn't help but slide across the leader spider's head again.
Still the strange itch kept growing.
This makes the snake feel somewhat anxious and unhappy.
The bumps on the road were not noteworthy, as the snakes had already cleared most of the obstacles around the territory themselves.
The beam of light continued to grow larger in front of Sheshe.
The keepers in the light beam noticed the return of Lady Sisi, and they all subconsciously smiled to welcome her, with words half-spoken in their mouths brewing.
——"Lord Sisi!"
The smiling faces that turned back one after another made Sheshe couldn't help but raise her head proudly. She was about to respond -
Suddenly, something unexpected happened!
The statue placed in the center of the light beam suddenly exploded with extremely dazzling light!
The light instantly enveloped everyone, swallowing up all figures and expressions infinitely in the light!
【——It’s working.】
【bite--】
All sounds disappear in this light!
Sheshe only felt that the red sun was rising slowly in front of her eyes, and the dazzling, unparalleled light was spreading in all directions!
The snake only felt a white flash before its eyes and lost its memory for half a minute.
***
“——”
"hiss!"
In the cool and humid air, the snake suddenly opened its eyes and poked its head out from its coiled body.
The itch at the tip of the tail became more intense, and the snake could not help rubbing it on the floor.
In the continuous drizzle, under the banana leaves, a long strip of black jade was standing in a daze, so lonely that it didn't know what day it was.
Sky, stone steps, path, banana leaves.
The misty blue made the snake, which had never seen the sky since birth, stare in a daze for a moment.
Curled up obediently under the banana leaves, the snake began to wonder where it was.
I saw a pavilion in the drizzle ahead, outside the pavilion was a jade-like lake with a wet mist rising above the lake.
In the misty rain, the snake was suddenly picked up from under a banana leaf.
The man was dressed in white and holding an oil-paper umbrella, but the strange thing was that he had two fins made of green jade on his temples. His smiling eyes were like a calm lake. He was obviously not an ordinary person. He exuded a strong aura, which made the snake shrink its head and measure the gap between itself and the man.
The result was not a happy one for the snake. The man was very strong, extremely strong. The snake was certain that the man would kill it before it tried to hunt it.
However, he is so strong... Is he really a human? Is it him or... Him?
There was a faint dark light in Snake's eyes.
The snake decided to lie dormant for the time being and obediently wrapped itself around his wrist. He couldn't help but laugh, and raised the snake and shouted towards the pavilion: "Koukou, look, isn't this Koukou's family? How did they appear here? Look at the glossiness of the scales, it seems that they are loved by Koukou."
"Who knows? Bring it closer and have a look."
In the pavilion in the distance, a man who was drinking laughed loudly when he heard this.
The visitor responded and praised: "Koukou, your strength has greatly improved. You will definitely have a share of the promotion in the future. Don't forget me when the time comes!"
"I have been walking with those Taoist friends for more than a hundred years, and I have made a lot of progress. But climbing the stairs? I'm afraid I'm not qualified yet! I'll wait for next time."
The aroma of wine was so strong that even snakes would get drunk, and their souls would be 70% gone in an instant.
The snake was attracted by the aroma of the wine and almost subconsciously dived into the wine jug and drank it up in the blink of an eye.
The speed of the attack was so fast that the two of them were stunned: "This little snake is quite like that guy. Could it be that he is a member of the clan who just sneaked out to play?"
"Shall we find a time to deliver it to Koukou?"
It feels like falling into a dream.
The itch at the snake's tail was incredibly severe, and the snake couldn't help but rub it in the pot.
In the hazy vision, the snake vaguely saw the face of the man drinking by the lake. His face was extremely bright and there were two blood-red moles under his eyes.
Who are these two people? Why do the people drinking by the lake look so much like... so much like scholars?
But the snake had no time to think.
“——”
Her mind went blank for a moment.
It seemed as if something was being peeled off the snake.
Snake suddenly realized that...
——I am shedding my skin!
