Chapter 71 Light Bulb
There is a White Jade Palace in the sky, with twelve towers and five cities.
The immortal stroked my head and gave me eternal life.
The bones are groaning and the scales are falling away quietly.
The amber snake pupils turned into narrow and long eyes, the black scales turned into black clothes, and a red mole between the eyebrows set off the gorgeous color of the demon body.
Weird, inhuman, half human, half snake, between wildness and humanity.
When it poked its head out of the wine jug, the slightly furrowed brows on its beautiful face looked like a crescent moon, which made people feel pity for it.
It lay in the wine jug with a pitiful look, staring at them with its amber snake eyes.
It is always easy to distinguish between human and animal eyes.
The eyes of a snake are easiest to identify; they are cold and wild, a deep pool of locked emotions.
"Is it looking at me or at you? Zhiyu?"
The immortal with fish fins on his temples said to the scholar.
The scholar fiddled with the mechanical device in his hand nonchalantly and said affirmatively: "He is looking at the two of us. He is probably using his eyes to determine whether he can swallow us."
"Ahaha, this little fellow really has lofty ambitions. He thinks so far after just shedding his skin once."
The immortal with fish fins stretched out his fingers to tease the black snake in the pot. The black snake beauty was so docile that she did not make any attacking moves, and it seemed that she had no urge to swallow the two in front of her.
The scholar paused and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
The immortal replied: "Didn't you always call me Yunxing? Why did you suddenly forget it?"
He smiled sullenly and pointed his finger at the sky, saying, "This is inexplicable. Are you reminding me to take you to float in the sea of stars someday?"
The scholar was stunned and nodded obediently.
He looked up at the sky, and couldn't remember why he came here.
He looked down at his hands, then glanced at the immortal king with fish scales in front of him.
Is he dreaming? Otherwise, how could such an unrealistic thing exist?

The old Taoist priest couldn't help but raise several pairs of eyes.
The sky was hazy and I couldn't see clearly in the rain and fog.
For some reason, the heart in his chest was beating and expanding, as if it was aware of something before its soul.
The old Taoist priest quickly calmed his rapid breathing.
The effectiveness of the God-Slaying Array was altered by the scholar. It seemed that they had returned to the past with the help of the array and witnessed a scene that happened tens of thousands of years ago that the scholar hadn't seen before.
In ancient times, the time for cultivators was terrifyingly long, and there were countless unknowns waiting for them to explore and dig into. Compared with the barren life of cultivators today, it was truly rich and colorful.
Although what the undercover said was a little off, considering that it has gone through millions of years, some discrepancies are very normal.
The scholar's real name is "Zhi Yu" and his honorific title is still unknown. He is good at mechanical secrets. In addition to Boling Tianjun mentioned by the undercover, he also has another good friend named "Yun Xing".
The old Taoist priest secretly wrote down these pieces of information, not knowing whether they were useful or not.
Somehow, there is an extremely heavy barrier door between them and the people of the past, and they seem unable to influence the past.
After the day the sky collapsed, the old Taoist priest never successfully contacted the God again, and the connection between them seemed to be severed again.
Now that the formation has become like this, the old master didn’t know what to do for a moment.
He couldn't help but sigh helplessly. He could only take one step at a time and wait and see.
At least I can appreciate the long-lost ancient splendor with these two immortal kings, which makes my life worthwhile.
Kuixing naturally didn’t have as many thoughts as his master. He was still in a daze. When he saw his master leaving, he followed him.
The Great God of Destiny continued to follow stealthily.
***
[0 years old: First time shedding skin, getting stronger!
You think of it.
Your physical fitness has greatly increased, and your health has greatly improved.
After a conversation with the kind person who picked you up, he decided to send you home.
How should I put it? It’s hard to comment. You don’t even know where your home is. Anyway, I wish you success! 】
Wu You took a bite of potato chips.
Xiao Si is a very special simulation character who directly crossed species and became a snake.
This made Wu You somewhat confused.
The world he simulated seemed to be an orthodox martial arts world, and he felt embarrassed for creating a monster here.
But everything has been done. He hopes to experience more events, achieve success in his career sooner, evolve his talents, and get some impressive titles. All his hopes are placed on this snake!
After secretly encouraging himself, Wu You calmed down again, flipped through the previous text, and said with a smile: "Climbing the stairs? Isn't this another way of saying shattering the void?"
[0 years old: Standing on the endless mountain tops.
The wind fluttered my clothes.
Under the huge sun, a ferocious falcon swooped down.
A kind person takes you on a trip and lets you experience the beauty of nature.
When I opened my eyes again, what I saw was no different from the heavenly palace, with carved beams and painted buildings, jade towers and pavilions, and celestial music in my ears. It did not seem like the mortal world.
You have a vague sense of déjà vu, as if you have been here a long, long time ago. Perhaps from genetic tracing, the ancestors of snakes have seen such beautiful scenery.
Your snake tail can't help but curl up. 】

People used to think that this is how one cultivates to become an immortal, and that cultivating to become an immortal is nothing more than giving up something in exchange for gaining something. Only by giving up one's internal organs, gold and jade, and dignity can one gain power, rights, and the ability to command from the gods and ancestors.
There is not much difference between a person changing from a human to a cultivator and a person changing from a human to a ghost. Both must be imprisoned in some invisible object, which may be blood food, a ancestor, or a god, but the suffocating mutterings can only be heard by oneself.
But the cultivators of the ancient times only gave the three onlookers a very free and easy feeling.
With half a lifetime of caution and planning, Da Siming suddenly thought of a word.
——Free and easy.
Get up in the morning and look at the vast mountains.
At dusk, I fall asleep on the blue sea.
Born between heaven and earth, with stars as blankets, the sun and the moon as pillows, and green fields as beds.
Exhaling and breathing with the clouds and mist, and becoming one with all things.
No wonder the scholars who wake up again in the future would have no interest in this world.
If Dasi Ming put himself in the shoes of others, and had he ever seen such beautiful scenery, he would also feel that the world today is in a state of devastation.
He looked up at the stars. They were densely packed together, brewing an invisible force that was breathtaking.
They have seen monks who use swords to seek the truth from their hearts, and their pure and upright energy is like the morning light.
They have seen the pure and flawless demon that was born and raised by nature, and the tears that show pity for all things.
They have seen witches offering sacrifices to the gods and sowing the spring rain.
Kuixing thought, Lord God, Lord God, how come you change so fast? Tens of thousands of years ago, you were still talking about being carefree and natural, but today you are talking about the God Slave Contract, what has time done to you!
The old Taoist snorted coldly and closed his extra eyes.
Each of the three has his own troubles.
They finally came to a palace that towered into the clouds, with walls made of white jade, but it was so magnificent that one could not look directly at it.
The two immortals came to see him with little snakes on their wrists.
The immortal music is faint, and the divine grace is vast.
***
Sheshe was put down, straightened her waist, her raven-feather-like hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her amber pupils were staring at the god in the distance without blinking.
His clothes, as bright as the sun, flutter in the air, shining brightly.
As He came closer, complex dark patterns appeared on the edge of His dazzling clothes, as if a vivid snake was swimming and circling around His clothes.
I'm hungry again.
Snake raised his head while trying to control himself.
The fish on the road, ahem, the kindhearted people were greeting: "We met your runaway family on the way, and we brought them back to you."
A strange expectation suddenly arose in Sheshe's heart, like a seedling about to break through the soil.
Was there a reason why she came here? She felt a strange familiarity flowing through her heart... Did she recognize the God in front of her?
Sheshe no longer hesitated and raised her head immediately.
I was speechless.
I saw that on top of the clothes, there was a...
——Light bulb?
It was as if something broke instantly.
The light bulb was still emitting light at a constant frequency, bringing a bit of heat to the surroundings.
Sheshe was stunned and was not paying attention when he was suddenly picked up by the light bulb in front of him. As if he had cooperated with him thousands of times, Sheshe subconsciously wrapped his wrist.
"It's been a while since we last met. Thanks to you for bringing me here this time. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to find me. There hasn't been anything major going on in the world recently, so how about staying for a while?"
It's like a cat or dog that has run away from home and is brought back by a friend, and the owner is so happy that he cries and tries to share the joy.
The snake spat out its tongue in dissatisfaction.
The scholar and Yunxing looked at each other.
Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I have been hanging out on the streets recently. How can I not respond to the invitation from my friend God?
The two of them settled down with the three people behind them.
***
Before it was clear where this place was.
The patient hunter knows how to lie in wait.
Besides, the food here is good, the accommodation is good, and there are beautiful sisters to take care of you.
Snakes are always flexible and they hold grudges especially. One day they will pay back tenfold and sooner or later make this damn light bulb lose face ten times in front of the public!
The snake thought humiliatingly.
The light bulb was completely unaware of the hunter's danger and cruelty, and even said with a smile: "Hurry up and tell me, Sisi, you need to practice to make further progress!"
Snake tried to mumble out the horrible curse.
It didn't work.
The metamorphosis was complete, and he hadn't yet adjusted to his new voice, and couldn't roll around in the dark, which led to this situation.
The light bulb immediately urged: "Sisi, speak clearly! Speak clearly word by word!"
Sheshe's snow-white face suddenly turned red, and even the dark scales on her temples seemed to be tinged with pink.
The girls in white, who were either standing or sitting around the light bulb, were looking over with smiles, trying to encourage her. There was a red mole on the center of their eyebrows, and they looked as if they were floating in the air.
Sheshe closed her eyes and tried to mumble again: "Four is four, ten is ten, fourteen..."
Yun Xing: “?”
Yun Xing, who was watching the small classroom, couldn't help but reach out and nudge the scholar, who was immersed in the secret art of the mechanism, just as every obsessed person responded casually.
"Tell me, why do we need to use tongue twisters to describe this..." Yun Xing shared with a smile, but his voice suddenly paused.
At some point, the girls in white were staring at him with cold faces, their jet-black hair flying, and the blood mole between their eyebrows seemed to be emitting ominous meanings.
Yun Xing wisely pursed his lips and pretended that he didn't exist.
Snake gnashed his teeth and uttered the last sentence: "Don't say four instead of a cross—"
"boom--"
The huge airflow blasted out like a falling star, almost destroying half of the mountain range. The terrifying destructive power formed a sharp contrast with the black snake's frail and tiny body!
"Lord Sisi! You are worthy of being Lord Sisi!"
"Lady Sisi is the best!"
"Lord Sisi! It's really great! Lord Sisi's spell is so mysterious!"
The girls in white gave extremely enthusiastic feedback.
Snake couldn't help but laugh, and then raised his chin proudly, the tips of his ears turned bright red, and the snake tried hard to ignore the laughter of the light bulb beside his ears.
Snake, can't hear, can't hear, can't hear...
When the snake is coiled up, it is not even as big as a palm.
It is easy for someone to put it in their pocket and take it away.
Wanting to live alone outside always attracts the worried looks of the girls in white.
After all, everyone in this palace is a snake lover, and this can be seen from the snake decorations that can be seen everywhere and the snake patterns on their clothes.
And with the light bulb's occasional teaching, the snake's strength improved greatly.
If the snake hadn't figured out why it came here, it would have suspected that this was a copy specifically created to increase the snake's strength!
The snake began to doubt himself, could he really be the heir to some palace?
Thinking of this, the snake held the flower cake, which was bigger than its face, in both hands and took a bite.
The fragrance bursts out in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, it can be said to be the highest level, and it is even rich in nutrition! The tip of the snake's tail tapped on the table happily!
The black snake gave a few pieces of flower cake to the girls in white who were watching the snakes eat.
The girls in white were flattered. They took it and put it carefully into their mouths. The doting look in their eyes almost drowned Yun Xing who was watching.
While Yun Xing was stuffing the flower cake into his mouth, he couldn't help but tease his friend: "This is the first time I've seen such a protective snake willing to share its food with others."
The scholar is still obsessed with the secret art of mechanical devices.
He glanced at the grand occasion at the table and answered his friend's question, "If you want to let wild animals share their food, there must be no other reason except that they like it."
