After understanding the truth of the matter, I turned around and went to find the old Taoist priest. The old man was still arguing with the front desk. I stopped the old Taoist priest who was trying to pay less money by depreciation and said to the front desk, "How much is the door?" "Five hundred!" The front desk said firmly. I took out a handful of cash from my wallet, counted out five red bills and handed them over. Because of my work, I always receive a lot of cash, and it is safer to use cash in some occasions, so I developed the habit of carrying cash on me. After paying the money, I pulled the old Taoist priest outside the door and kowtowed on the street without saying a word. This is really a life-saving grace, and there is no room for ambiguity! The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and looked like a teachable child. "Young man, although I saved your life from the snake demon, you know that you have been marked by the snake demon. Even if the snake demon doesn't look for you, you will be attacked by the demon's spirit sooner or later and die."

The old Taoist's words were like a bolt from the blue.

Mark? Where? How come I don't know? !

Perhaps seeing my confusion, the old Taoist lifted my sleeve, exposing my forearm, pointed to a whitish place and said, "This is the mark planted by the snake demon."

Because the weather was bad, I hurriedly turned on the flashlight on my phone to shine it.

The whitish place was crystal clear and oval, like animal scales.

I was so angry that I wanted to remove it.

"It's useless."

The old Taoist said leisurely: "If you cut off one piece, two will grow. The root cause is not the external snake scales, but the evil spirit in your body."

I immediately knelt down again and begged: "Master, save me!"

The old Taoist showed an embarrassment on his face. After a moment of silence, he said: "Originally, the evil spirit is easy for me to deal with, but I have just set up a big formation here. I can't use my true energy for 49 days. Now it's only halfway through..."

"How long can I last?"

"At the shortest, three to five days, and at the longest, seven to eight days. This is when the snake demon doesn't look for you."

I was immediately desperate.

"But..."

But the old Taoist suddenly changed his tone: "It's not that there is no way."

I was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and immediately asked: "What else can I do?"

The old Taoist hesitated a little.

I immediately understood, took out my wallet and asked, "How much?"

"People outside the world don't talk about money, they only talk about fate."

The old Taoist shook his head, looking like an immortal.

This is too classic!

Although I had a moment to think whether the old Taoist was a liar, the snake demon and the scales on his hand could not be fake.

And the old Taoist saved my life, so what if I gave him all the money.

So I asked in cooperation, "What fate?"

Waiting for the old Taoist to say something like 18,000 yuan.

"The fate of the immortals in Wudang Mountain."

But the old Taoist didn't play by the rules and caught me off guard.

I've already started to pay, okay!

"What is the fate of the immortals in Wudang Mountain?"

The old Taoist took out a purple-gold gourd from his arms, about the size of a baby's fist, with something inserted in the mouth of the gourd, like a sword handle, shining with a metallic luster, and connected to the gourd with a red rope.

"Send this thing to Wudang Mountain and give it to Taoist Ziwei in person. The disaster will be solved, and there may even be another opportunity."

I took the gourd and wanted to pull out the hilt to see if there was really a sword inside.

The old Taoist stopped me immediately: "You can't pull it out! Once you pull it out, all living things will be destroyed!"

I was shocked and asked carefully: "What is inside?"

"I can't say." The old Taoist shook his head.

"Then..."

I knocked on the hilt of the gourd and asked: "Is this metal? Can it pass the security check?"

"Ah?"

The old Taoist was stunned by my question.

"It's like this. Wudang Mountain is hundreds of kilometers away from here. Whether it's an airplane or a high-speed train, you have to go through security checks. This metal thing can't be opened. Can it pass the security check?" I explained patiently.

"This..."

The old Taoist looked embarrassed, obviously he had never considered this problem.

After thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively: "Are you going by long-distance bus? The security check here is not that strict."

That's the only way.

I asked the Taoist priest again: "What if a snake demon comes to find me on the way?"

The Taoist priest pulled out the pesticide sprayer from behind: "This is a special realgar wine specially made to restrain snake demons. You carry it with you. If a snake demon comes to you, just spray her."

I looked at the huge pesticide sprayer and fell into deep thought. Although the security check at the long-distance bus station is not that strict, it doesn't mean that they are blind.

So

A big pot of liquid with the words "Special for Pesticides" written on it, it's a miracle that it can pass the security check!

This old Taoist obviously has no common sense, forget it, the mountain man has his own tricks.

I agreed to the old Taoist's commission, and didn't ask him why he didn't go by himself or anything else.

If they really don't let me go, I will cry to death.

I first went to the outdoor goods store to buy four water bags of the largest size, and then bought a hiking backpack that can hold these four water bags.

Then I poured all the realgar wine in the pesticide sprayer into the water bag, and the four water bags were just full.

For such life-saving things, I never have too much.

Carrying a backpack and pretending to be a hiking enthusiast, I came to the long-distance bus station and bought a bus ticket to Wudang Mountain.

The security check at the long-distance bus station is indeed relaxed - as long as you don't carry a pesticide sprayer to commit suicide.

After getting on the bus, I put my backpack under my feet, took out a water bag and held it in front of my chest, pulled out the drinking hose that came with the water bag, and put it at hand, ensuring that I could spray the snake demon in the face at any time as long as I squeezed it.

After making all the preparations, I felt a little relieved.

There were not many people on this bus, and there were no tour groups. Everyone sat very scattered, and many people closed their eyes to rest. It was very quiet along the way.

Bored, I took out the purple gold gourd to play with it.

To be honest, after seeing the snake demon, my worldview was greatly impacted.

According to the most simple idea, if there are monsters, there must be gods.

Is the old Taoist a god?

Is this purple gold gourd a magic weapon? Or a fairy weapon?

I picked up the gourd and shook it next to my ear. There seemed to be a faint wailing sound inside.

I was startled and listened carefully, but I heard nothing.

Just as I verified it again, a woman in cool clothes and sunglasses suddenly sat next to me.

It is reasonable to say that people should keep a social distance. There are so many empty seats in the car, there is no reason to sit next to a stranger.

I looked over curiously and suddenly realized something.

The woman took off her sunglasses at this time, and it was the snake demon!

It was a little different from before. Its pupils were like snake pupils, and with that charming face, it looked both weird and full of temptation.
