Chapter 41 I Won't Let You Die

Since ancient times, cultivating Taoism has been in pursuit of powerful power. Therefore, in the legends of Zhiguai, the end point of cultivating Taoism for carp and snake is to transform into a dragon.

Now that Jackie Chan, how can he easily turn back to snake or carp?
I know that my idea is a bit unrealistic, but that dream really made me so uncomfortable, I always wanted to find some real evidence to tell myself that that scene would never happen.

It's just that it is much more difficult to prove that something does not exist in this world than to prove that it exists.

Yun Xiao originally believed that the power of the bloodline was immutable, but after I questioned him, his attitude changed: "Generally speaking, the heel and feet are fixed at birth and cannot be changed. But since you asked that, Shu The method is mysterious, I don't know if there are monks who can do this."

Afraid of my disappointment, he rubbed my head lightly, "Why did you think of asking this?"

In the dream, the image of me pulling out Yun Xiao's keel flashed by. I hurriedly threw this scene out of my mind. Before I could answer, I suddenly felt the ground shake.

"Don't be afraid." Yun Xiao stood up holding me, and picked up the long sword standing upright on the ground with a cold face.

Following his gaze, I saw an old human head protruding from the land not far away.

This man's hair was thinning, his face was so pale that he seemed to be alive, and he stared at us faintly.

I thought he looked familiar, and I recognized him in a flash as the old man who lived next door to us. I usually call him the third grandpa, and he passed away four years ago!
The sound of "srusting" kept ringing, and similar heads popped out of the surrounding soil one after another. They were all villagers who died a few years ago, or even decades ago.

These people all stared at us with the same sullen and malicious eyes, like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark.

Ma Dan is also a snake, Yun Xiao's eyes are very clear, why can't they learn from Yun Xiao?
"What do they want?" I asked Yun Xiao in a low voice.

"Eat us." Yun Xiao said disdainfully.

As soon as the words fell, the third grandpa suddenly rushed towards us.

The whole body of the old man emerged from the mud, and his clothes were ragged. It was barely recognizable as the shroud he wore when he was buried. It was covered with black and red dried marks, like blood.

But the weirdest thing is not this, but that he does not walk normally like a living person, nor does he hop forward like a zombie, but like a snake, twisting his body towards here we come.

This seemed to be a signal, and other snake ghosts rushed towards us one after another
I think I have opened my eyes in the past few days, but my scalp is still numb by this scene: "What is this?"

"A kind of snake ghost." Yun Xiao swung a sword and hit the third grandfather and the others.Their bodies collapsed quickly, but quickly returned to their original shape.

I'm not very good: "Why can't you kill me?"

"They were born here and supported by this land. The land is not destroyed, they are not destroyed." Yun Xiao's sword just now was just a test. After testing out the identities of these ghosts, he didn't waste mana anymore, and directly used the sword on us. A barrier of about forty square meters was drawn around to keep the snake ghosts out.

I speculated before that the dead villagers had to be buried in the coffins of Song Carpenter's house. It was probably affected by last night's fighting. The coffins used to trap these things in the ground were destroyed, and they all climbed out: "Do you need to find them again?" Carpenter Song's coffin?"

"No, I can solve it, I just want to see how many snake ghosts there are here." Yun Xiao realized something, and stretched out her hand to bury my face in his arms, "Don't look if you're afraid, they can't break my Enchantment."

Leaning against his solid chest, the fear in my heart dissipated a lot, and I boldly looked at the snake ghosts who kept attacking the barrier.

I haven't been back to the village many times, but I have a good memory and can recognize many of them.Most of these snake ghosts have only died in the past few years, and some should have been dead for decades. I haven't seen them when I was alive, and I don't recognize them now.

Most of them are little girls, and some of them are quite familiar. I should have seen them somewhere, but I can't remember their identities.There are also quite a few snake ghosts that look like babies, whose genders cannot be distinguished.

Judging from the clothing and attire, there are no snake ghosts who died hundreds of years ago, and it seems that decades is the limit.

Yun Xiao and I came to the same conclusion, and it's rare to praise: "Weiwei, the Carpenter Song you mentioned has two brushes. The coffin he made really sent away the snake ghosts from a hundred years ago."

"Where did it go?" I asked.

"The soul is scattered."

Carpenter Song was indeed a ruthless person.

"Why do people in the village turn into snake ghosts after they die? They look different from Grandma."

"Panlong Village has restrictions. Even if the villagers here are dead, they can only be trapped here, unlike other mortals who can enter reincarnation. The ancestors in the village must have used some kind of secret technique to lift the restriction after death. These The snake ghost is the product of their struggle."

"As for Long Yeqing, she has practiced Ao Ze's mind method, dividing her soul, flesh and skin, using the soul as a guide, reshaping the body with flesh and blood, and keeping the remaining human skin to hide from the sky."

The human skin left by the grandma turned into snake sloughs, and several snake ghosts outside the barrier also had snake sloughs that had not completely faded away. It seemed to be a principle.

"Did the ancestors succeed in the struggle?" I looked at these snake ghosts who didn't even have self-awareness, and felt that the matter was hanging.

"They were deceived." Compassion appeared in Yun Xiao's eyes, "Although secret techniques can indeed allow them to escape this restriction after death, they turned into snake ghosts and puppets in the hands of others, which is not as good as before."

Sure enough.

I was a little nervous and asked, "Will I be like this after I die?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Yun Xiao said in a low voice, but she was afraid of being fierce, so she hugged me tightly and said in a calm tone, "I won't let you die, don't think about it."

But life, old age, sickness and death of mortals, how can he, a monster, control them?
Maybe Yunxiao also has a similar mental method that can help me get rid of this secret technique?
But when I thought of turning into a snake like Grandma, I was a little bit conflicted.

I was alone and worried for a long time, unable to come up with a countermeasure, so I decided not to think about it.Anyway, I'm only young, and I still have decades to live, maybe someday there will be new discoveries.

I brought the topic back: "Who lied to the ancestors of Panlong Village and turned all the dead villagers into snake ghosts?"

Yun Xiao shook her head: "I don't know, but it must be related to the black shadow last night. These snake ghosts can leave Panlong Village and harm the outside world and the living people in the village. Carpenter Song should have discovered this before staying Come down to make a coffin. His surname may not be 'Song', the village calls him Carpenter Song, but in fact it should be 'send' for the funeral."

No wonder Carpenter Song said that he came to see the end of Panlong Village.

Yun Xiao's emerald green eyes scanned the snake ghosts outside the barrier one by one, and after confirming that all the snake ghosts underground had been drawn out, he raised his long sword and swung it vigorously.

Silver-white light overflowed from his body, and the sword spirit swam out from the sword body, hovering over the snake ghost's head.

The warm silver light continued to fall, and the dark and resentful faces of the snake ghosts gradually became peaceful, as if they had been redeemed.

The cold and terrifying aura on their bodies gradually disappeared, and their figures gradually became transparent. Before disappearing, some of them recognized me and showed me a gentle smile.

In the light, the snake ghosts were relieved and all disappeared.

And I felt a familiar atmosphere in Yunxiao's spell of saving these snake ghosts, which was very similar to the mana I felt when I was saving those snake skin corpses at Carpenter Song's house.

Could it be that Yun Xiao and I have mana from the same clan?
