Chapter 29

Wansnake Mountain once again fell into the tranquility of the past. In spring, the flowers on the mountain are brilliant and all things are revived. In summer, the herds of beasts proliferate.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and summer, twenty years in the world are not as peaceful as a day in the mountains.

Since the Yue Kingdom brazenly launched a war of revenge 20 years ago, it has been 20 years of recharging its energy and energy, and finally wants to regain its homeland.

And Da Jin, whose country is rich and the people are strong, will naturally not tolerate the land being taken away again.

In Yinzhou, which is the border between the two countries, bloody battles broke out there one after another, and the neighboring Qinan Prefecture also inevitably recruited troops to replenish its military resources. To protect the stability of the family, there is even a woman who does not allow a man to join the army to protect the life of the bedridden father.

Because of the war, many families were broken and people died, and because of the war, the common people were miserable and poorer, the white-haired people gave away the black-haired people, the blood of the family was cut off, and the people were in dire straits.

All of this will not be recorded in the achievements of that holy emperor. Later history books will only record him as a virtuous monarch, and even a generation of heroes who expanded the territory.

Behind all these great achievements are mountains of white bones.

This battle has been fought for 20 years, and finally the fortune of the Jin Dynasty was prosperous, and it defeated the Yue Kingdom and defended the captured territory.

The vitality of the Great Jin was severely injured, and the Yue Kingdom was directly destroyed. The Confucianism evacuated from the Yue Kingdom. There are countless refugees from the Yue Kingdom, thieves are everywhere, and evil spirits cannibalize people. Compared with the people of the Jin Dynasty, although they are miserable, they are better than the Yue Kingdom. More, at least he can survive, and the emperor who can let the common people survive is a good emperor.

The Great Jin Dynasty not only stopped the war with Yue, but also stopped the war with Beiman in the north, because the news of the big defeat came from the north, the 30 army was defeated, and only [-] wounded soldiers returned.

Fortunately, the Great Jin Sage Emperor defended the northern border at all costs, and Jin, which is located in the land of eight states, still has a chance to make a comeback.

All these news were obtained by Bai Yan from the dreams of the villagers at the foot of the mountain.

Although the villagers can't read, they can always get some news from the government, as well as various sources of news from private tabloids, so that they won't be ignorant of state affairs.

If it is in other countries, it is natural to pursue the policy of fooling the people, but the emperor of Jin Dynasty opened up business and trade, rejuvenated the wisdom of the people, and threatened that the people of the world have a patriotic heart, and the country will be strong.

No matter what the process is, he has achieved it.Nowadays, there is almost no one in the Jin Dynasty who does not sing praises to the Holy Emperor, and there is no one who does not take pride in being a citizen of the Jin Dynasty.

In the several villages at the foot of the mountain, there have been many funerals in recent years. Every time a white cloth is hung in the village, it represents the death of a labor force in the family.

Their heart-piercing cries echoed in the world, and they begged the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bring their loved ones back to life.They knelt in front of the statue of Liuxian and prayed.

But there is no god who can respond to them, and Bai Min has no supernatural power to bring the dead back to life. The only thing he can do is to tell them in a dream: Your children and relatives have all been reincarnated, and they will enjoy glory and wealth in the next life.

It's the only way to comfort them.

It is also because of Baijun's entrusted dreams that the belief in Liuxian spreads for hundreds of miles in the world.Even, on the other side of the mountain, the people of Yue State also worshiped willow immortals to pray for peace.

Countless incense sticks linger on the void of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, turning into a giant python to occupy the mountain, suppressing evil spirits from all directions.

That white fox, Hu Qiniang came to see Baijun once, and she was amazed by the fairy aura on Baijun's body. Once she entered Wansnake Mountain, most of her cultivation was suppressed out of thin air.

Only then did Hu Qiniang understand that a mere snake demon who had practiced for more than [-] years was already in a bad mood.

She regards Bai Jun as an ally and no longer dares to underestimate him.

Hu Qiniang told him that he would be transformed in another hundred years, and hoped that he would be able to transform in the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain by then.

Bai Jun agreed to her, in order for the monsters to have allies in this group of mountains, they can gain a foothold.As for a big demon in form, if he can have the kindness of protecting Dao, the affection will be different.

As for the fox demon wanting to kill him afterwards, I'm afraid that the karma of entanglement with the fox demon is not worth the loss.

And the fox demon also knew that Bai Yan, a little demon, wanted to gain a foothold in the mountains without his own protection.Only when the interests of the two sides are consistent for a long time can they be the most solid allies.

During these 20 years of penance, Bai Jun finally comprehended the second black art, which is as big or small as he wants.

This is a superficial spell learned from the shedding of snakes' skin, and it is far from the legendary magical powers of heaven, earth, and earth. It can only shrink the body into a small snake, or enlarge the body to make it two or three feet longer. .

But Bai Yan is also very satisfied, after all, he has no blood inheritance and no famous teacher or immortal guidance, and it is extraordinary to be able to comprehend two sorcerers after 50 years of practice.

Look at my silly younger brother, Xiaoqing, who just realized a half-baked sorcery not long ago, spit demon fire!

A mouthful of demonic light spewed out, like a jet of fire, which ignited instantly.Even if it's just ordinary fire and ordinary water, it can be extinguished, but if you practice for a long time, you will naturally not be afraid of mere ordinary water.

The reason why it is called half-baked is because Xiaoqing almost burned the thousand-year-old willow tree when she was practicing.

Bai Jun was taken aback, after all, he was planted by a great man who could ascend to immortality and Buddha, so it can't be ruined.

Other than that, everything in the mountains is as usual.The number of snakes in Wanshe Mountain has also grown to tens of thousands, and it finally lives up to its name.Even snakes from other places have migrated and gathered near Wanshe Mountain to survive.

Among them, there are naturally king snakes, which mainly eat snakes. Of course, humans in this era are called Shanwan Snake, Guoshan Fengbo, Guoshanfeng, Fanshovel, etc.

Bai Yu didn't target them but let them survive. After all, the natural cycle is the most important, otherwise the aura ecology of a mountain will be destroyed. Where can he find such a cave with good feng shui?
On this day, Bai Jun accidentally found an ancient relic, which was a small clay pot buried under a willow tree.

Seeing it, Bai Yan thought about it for a long time before he remembered that a young man had saved his life a long time ago, and he had to repay this kindness.

With the gradual deepening of his cultivation, through the power of incense and vows, Bai Jie understands that the world really counts as cause and effect. Mortals believe in gods, and they give the gods incense and vows, and gods need to fulfill certain wishes of ordinary people in order to repay the faith of ordinary people.

Since Baijun owed the young man for saving his life, he wanted to pay it back.Whether it's karma or Baijun's Dao heart, he will choose to repay.

He put the clay pot into the jaw of the Shekou and walked all the way to the world along the river.

Although it has been 50 years since the world has changed, Bai Jun can still remember the smell of that boy.Snakes are insidious and have revenge, but it is not just talk, if you offend the snake demon, even after decades, they will still come to you for revenge, because your scent is engraved in the narrow brain of the snake.

……

Yue Country, Lingzhou, Xiahe Village, Lu Family.

Lu Baosheng had a bizarre dream last night. In the dream, there was a giant snake like a white dragon circling around the roof of his house.He felt that this white snake was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it.However, Lu Baosheng, Uncle Lu, was also very happy. Dreaming of a white snake means getting rich.All in all a good sign.

He got dressed slowly, and his daughter-in-law outside the house was already calling him to eat.

"Father! It's time for breakfast!"

Lu Baosheng responded, and slowly opened the door and walked into the stove room. The whole family was already sitting on the kang waiting for him.

The eldest son smiled and said, "Father, I'm just waiting for you. Today, Cuihua made you a bowl of egg custard, and added two drops of sesame oil. You should try it."

Hearing this, Lu Baosheng smiled on his wrinkled face, and got on the kang: "You guys, I'm already old, and you still give me such good food? I'm going to go to the ground in a few days. You should eat more."

The second son set the table and chopsticks for him, "Father, what you said is that you are the old man of our family, and no one can treat you badly."

Lu Baosheng's heart warmed. Although his wife left early, the two sons treated him with filial piety, and both married a good wife who could work. The eldest gave birth to two children and a girl, and the second also gave birth to a daughter. A baby and a daughter, it is a family relationship. "Let's have dinner."

Following his order, the whole family sat around the table on the kang and ate.

Because it is the time when the farm is free, the rice is filled with thin porridge, a pot of steamed corn bread and two plates of pickles that the farm has pickled. This is a very rich breakfast in Xiahe Village.

There are not so many rules in the peasant family, and you can talk while eating, so the second son whispered: "Father, our new emperor of Yue Kingdom was enthroned last month!"

Lu Baosheng was taken aback, "Where did you hear the news?"

The eldest son laughed and said, "I heard it from Uncle Wang's house. Doesn't his son have a cousin who works in the yamen?"

Lu Baosheng nodded when he heard the words, sighed and said, "In this world, it is better to have an emperor. Xiahe Village is the safest place within a hundred li radius. If there is no emperor, we will be robbed by robbers sooner or later."

The second son said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor opened an imperial examination to obtain scholars, as long as he is not a slave, a merchant, or a worker, anyone can participate in the imperial examination!"

"What! Is this true?" Lu Baosheng asked in surprise.

"Really! Really! The imperial list has been posted!" the eldest daughter-in-law Cuihua interjected.

Lu Baosheng burst into tears with joy when he heard the words, "God! I have spent half my life trying to get rid of the slavery of family and children, and now I have the opportunity to honor my ancestors!"

The second daughter-in-law also interjected: "I heard that the Li family next door sent the two children to study in a private school in the town!"

When Lu Baosheng heard this, he nodded and said, "Our family can't be left behind! It's just that the family doesn't have much money, and studying is expensive. We can only send one child to study in the town.

I think the second child of the boss should go. "

"Ah? Erwa, why don't you hurry up and thank your master!" Cuihua hurriedly pulled Erwa and said happily.

The second son said in surprise: "Father, my son is also very smart, and the little one also wants to study."

The second daughter-in-law also complained: "Yes, Dad! Our second child is also busy with the family, working hard, how can we only send the eldest son's son?"

Lu Baosheng looked at his grandson regretfully, handed the bowl of uneaten egg custard to the third grandson, and asked, "Little Dan, do you think it is better to study, or is this bowl of egg custard more delicious?"

Xiaodan couldn't move his eyes away from the bowl of delicious egg custard in front of him: "Master, this bowl of egg custard is delicious!"

Lu Baosheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Then take it and eat."

Xiaodan immediately took the bowl and devoured it voraciously. Some people may never be able to eat such a bowl of egg custard.

"This matter is decided in this way. As you can see, Xiao Dan is really not suitable for studying. Our family really can't afford two reading boys. Xiao Zhou is more suitable. Let him go. In the future, he will really be a good student." He will never forget the kindness of your second family."

"Father! You can't be partial like this!" The second daughter-in-law immediately began to cry, crying miserably at the top of her voice.

The second son also complained.

The eldest family became taciturn and honest, and the children were too frightened to speak.

At this moment, the watchdog in the yard barked wildly, and the sound of the dog's barking was as disturbing as fear.

"Boss, go out and see what's going on." Lu Baosheng said.

The eldest son hurriedly ran out, and came in after a while with a small broken can.

"Father, I don't know who put a clay pot in the middle of our yard, look."

The second son was dissatisfied and said: "Just throw away a broken pot. Dad, you should think about it, little boy..."

"Wait." Lu Baosheng interrupted several people, and the second daughter-in-law also paused.

"Bring me that little jar." Lu Baosheng stretched out his hand to take the jar, and said to himself, "Why does it feel familiar?"

"Could it be that our house was attacked by thieves?" The eldest son was rather simple, and hurriedly picked up a stick to find out if there was a thief hiding in the house.

"No, no." Lu Baosheng looked at the more and more familiar jar, but he always felt that he couldn't remember and forgot something.

"Boom~"

There was a sound of spring thunder, and the eldest granddaughter ran under the eaves of the yard and laughed and said, "It's raining! It's raining!"

"Crack~"

Lu Baosheng stood up suddenly, dumbfounded, and the clay pot fell to the ground and shattered.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" The eldest son was startled.

The second son was also frightened when he saw that his father was pale. "Father, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you go and see Langzhong?"

The room was silent for a long time, Lu Baosheng's old body trembled, his eyes were wide open and he stared ahead, his lips trembled and he made a sound.

"snake…"

"Big snake..."

"Big White Snake..."

"Father, what snake are you talking about?" The eldest son asked suspiciously, "Where is there a snake? I'll catch it and throw it out."

"Boom~"

There was another thunderclap, and a dazzling lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating Lu Baosheng's old face in the room.

He ran out of the house, regardless of the heavy rain, came to the yard, looked around for something, and shouted: "Big snake, is that you? Are you here?"

The eldest son was shocked and said, "What's the matter, Dad?"

"Could...Could it be, then...Is that bewitched?" The second daughter-in-law whispered timidly.

"What are you talking about?" The second son covered his mother-in-law's mouth with his backhand.

Everyone trembled in their hearts. After all, it was in the countryside. There were many rumors about foxes, ghosts and ghosts. They even saw many strange things with their own eyes. Everyone knew something in their hearts.

"Boom~"

There was another thunderclap, which suddenly passed through the roof, and everyone heard the sound of bumping tiles on their houses, as if something was pressing on the tiles and crushing dozens of tiles at the same time.

The eldest son ran out of the house in a hurry, looked up and sat on the ground with a plop, trembling and pointing to the roof, his face twisted in horror as if he had seen a ghost.

Everyone ran out of the house in a hurry and looked up. They were frightened and dumbfounded. They saw a white dragon-like giant snake coiled on the roof of their house in the rain and fog. , enough to scare people.

"Monster! Help!" The second son yelled in horror, turned over and got up from the mud nest, and was about to run away with his mother-in-law and father.

When Lu Baosheng heard his son's voice, he suddenly turned around.

Just like that afternoon back then, the White Snake was still so mysterious and powerful. In that wind and rain, a young man walked out of the rain with a clay pot in his arms to apply medicine to a giant python.
