The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 1 The white snake that can swallow incense

The scorching sun is rising, and golden light shines between the sky and the earth.

At the same time, it also illuminates a large mountain hidden in the mist.

There are several villages at the foot of the mountain, far apart from each other, but they all have a similar small temple.

What is enshrined on the shrine in the temple is neither Buddha nor Bodhisattva, but a huge snake as white as snow and lifelike.

The first thing the old people in the village do after getting up is to come to this small temple and respectfully offer incense and worship to the big snake.

Wisps of incense floated up through the gaps in the temple, making a big circle over the village, and finally converged on a certain peak deep in the mountain.

The scent of incense pushed through the layers of mist, and finally came to a towering tree.

puff!
A glistening white snake head suddenly poked its head out from the layers of leaves. The thick and slender snake breathed in all the incense into its belly.

As the incense gas entered the body, the scales on the white snake suddenly made a sound like the collision of porcelain, and the bells rang.

The big snake is named Zhou Bai, and it is not a life of this world.

But things are unpredictable, and it has been nearly a hundred years since he came to this world in the blink of an eye.

A hundred years have been enough for him to accept his current appearance.

In the beginning, he was just a little snake about the thickness of a thumb. In order to survive, he could only eat some voles and toads as rations.

But at some point he discovered that he could absorb the popularity of the villagers down the mountain.

Since then, his cultivation has been out of control. In just 50 years, he has grown bigger and bigger, and now he is as thick as a villager's water tank.

And he has naturally become the top of the predator chain in this mountain.

There was a terrifying heavy rainstorm in this mountain 30 years ago.

Rainwater accumulates in the rock crevices of the mountains and pours down at a certain moment.

The raging water swept towards the villages down the mountain. Although the villagers tried their best to build dikes, it was of no avail.

The flood instantly submerged the village, and countless people fell into the water and drifted with the current.

At this time, Zhou Bai came from the mountains, followed the turbid water down the river, and rescued most of the villagers who had sunk into the water ashore.

At that time, all the villagers saw the white snake swimming in the water, and they all knelt down and worshiped.

Since then, White Snake Temples have been built in various villages at the foot of the mountain, and the incense is very prosperous.

What Zhou Bai didn't expect was that the incense smell in the temple could float across the mountains and come to him for him to suck.

Compared to its popularity, the aroma of incense was purer, and his cultivation level increased faster after inhaling it.

For this reason, he also secretly helped the surrounding villages solve several problems when wild beasts attacked the villages.

After inhaling the incense, Zhou Bai shook his body and slowly climbed down from the big tree.

His huge body walked in the mountains, suppressing the drooping vegetation and causing all animals to avoid him.

Soon he came to the top of a mountain on the outermost edge of the mountain, lay down on a big rock and looked at the village below.

Although he can now smoke incense, his popularity cannot fade away.

After a night of silence, the village at the foot of the mountain finally seemed to be "alive".

Shirtless men walked out of their homes and gathered together to chat about the mountains, while the elderly sat in the shade of the trees and took a nap.The naked baby was pulled up from the bed by her mother, got dressed in a daze, and walked to the school after breakfast with a small cloth bag full of patches on her back.

After going out, I would be teased by my father and grandfather sitting at the entrance of the village. Occasionally, a boy would contradict his father, which would cause a burst of laughter.

This is an extremely ordinary day in the village.

And this is exactly the popularity Zhou Bai wants to absorb.

The higher the mood of the people in the village, the higher the popularity, and the greater the benefit to Zhou Bai.

The children quickly left, and the man who was sitting together chatting about the mountains was scolded by his mother-in-law and called home. After a hasty meal, he picked up his hoe and sickle and rushed to the fields.

Now is the season when the wheat seedlings are ripe. The men have to rush to the fields to cut the wheat and hoe the stubble, while the women prepare lunch at home and do some chores on the way.

As the men left, the village became less popular.

Zhou Bai shook his head and was very satisfied and ready to leave.

At this moment, two figures who did not belong here suddenly appeared in the distance.

The two men were wearing short shirts and riding mules, staggering over the hilltop in the distance.

You must know that the village at the foot of the mountain has almost become a desert since the flood. On weekdays, except for a few pickers who come across the mountains to exchange for some food, no one cares about it all year round.

But looking at the way these two people are dressed, they don’t look like pickers!

The two of them were riding mules and stood on the top of the mountain, just in time to see the villagers busy in the fields below.

Looking at the golden wheat ears and the people talking and laughing in the fields, the two people riding on the mules looked at each other and smiled.

A swarthy man with a slightly shorter stature and a stubble on his face slapped his face twice randomly with his hands, bringing a touch of coolness. He looked at the man next to him who was also sweating profusely and said: "Second brother, we are not wrong. To think that we still have such a place in Laiyang County!"

The second brother is a farmer in his 50s or [-]s, with a bald head and a square face, and his hands are covered with calluses.

Hearing what the third brother said, he couldn't help but rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I'm going to make a fortune now. Let's go down the mountain and enter the village!"

Zhou Bai lay on the top of the mountain and watched quietly as these two guys rode mules into the village.

When they entered the village and saw the corn skewers hanging in front of every house, their eyes were filled with joy.

The two of them are the henchmen of Landlord Liu's family in Laiyang County. They came here to buy the land in the villages around the mountain for Landlord Liu.

After entering the village, they quickly found out the location of the village chief's home, and visited him with a playful smile and told them the purpose of their visit.

The village chief was a strong old man. When he heard that they were coming to buy the land that his family had cultivated for generations, he immediately became angry. He picked up the sickle behind the door and drove the two people out.

The two of them were not easy to mess with, and they were immediately ready to use force to force the village chief. Unexpectedly, at this time, the old people who were leaning under the big tree to enjoy the shade all stood up, holding crutches and sickles in their hands, staring with cold eyes. Two people.

The land is their life, and whoever wants their life will be killed first.

As soon as the two thugs saw that the situation was not good, they got on the mule and drove away. As a result, they used too much force and the mule fell solidly outside the village, knocking them off the mule.

The second brother even had two front teeth knocked out by a stone on the roadside, causing blood to flow freely.

He looked at the two front teeth that were sallow and yellow on the ground, then looked at the village fiercely, and cursed angrily: "You don't know how to appreciate me, so just wait for me!"

After saying that, he limped to his feet, took his third son and rode on a mule and hurried towards Laiyang County.

He wants to go back and tell Landlord Liu about the situation here and let him deal with these unruly people!
