Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 21 The Farmer and the Snake
The next day, dawn.

The heavy rain last night has dissipated, the air is full of dust and the smell of green grass, the red sun has just risen, and the morning light is pleasant.

The scholar and the girl spent the night in the Wutong Temple, and now they are about to leave this ghostly place.

He glanced at the white fox in his cousin's arms, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Last night, the white fox leaned against his cousin's arms, refusing to leave desperately, which made it inconvenient for him to do anything else.

Walking out of Wutong Temple, he saw that the guards were all drinking water.

The leader of the guards handed a clean water bag to the scholar, and said respectfully: "Master, drink some water, we have to hurry later."

The scholar nodded, took a few sips, but frowned slightly, and said, "Why does this water taste a little strange?"

He always felt that the taste was not right.

The leader of the guards smiled and said: "It may be the heavy rain last night, and the rainwater seeped in accidentally."

The scholar snorted coldly and didn't reprimand him. He just threw the water bag to him and said calmly, "Let's go."

At this moment, he had already lost the interest before going to the mountain, and he just wanted to go back and have a good rest.

The only thing that comforted him was probably the ancient swordfish intestines around his waist.

At this moment, with a loud bang, the door of the ancient temple was suddenly closed, and the cousin's terrified cry sounded from inside.

The scholar was startled, and hurried to push the door, only to find that the door was not moving at all.

This made him very surprised. You must know that he paid special attention to it last night. The door is a little old and cannot be locked from the inside.

He looked inside through the crack of the door, but saw a touch of snow-white skin and long black messy hair.

One piece of dress was torn into pieces, accompanied by the hissing and lung-piercing shouts of my cousin.

The scholar's eyes were tearing, and he said to the guards: "Quick, open this door for me!"

The guards stepped forward to slam into the gate, they were also considered to be carefully selected masters, but at this time they exerted all their strength, but they couldn't hit the door in the slightest.

The cry of the cousin in the temple was even more miserable.

The scholar was so anxious that he said angrily, "Draw out the knife and chop the door down!"

……

I don't know how long it took, the shouts in the temple gradually became smaller, and the cousin's throat, which was originally as clear as an oriole, has now become extremely hoarse.

The temple gate had already been chopped into pieces, the scholar was the first to rush in, and what he saw made him furious.

On the dirty ground, there was a petite beauty with bruises all over her body, and the white skirt under her body was already stained red with blood.

A white-faced boy in a fancy dress was arranging his sleeves, with an evil smile on his lips.

"Your cousin, fine."

Seeing his dying cousin, the scholar pulled out the Yugu sword from his waist with a clang, and stabbed at the white-faced boy with a roar.

Dang!

The sword fell to the ground, the snake demon held his wrist, and squeezed it lightly, only to hear a crackling sound, the scholar's wrist bone was broken, and it drooped at a terrifying angle.

"Hurry up and save the young master!"

The guards rushed up one after another, slashing at the white-faced boy.

The next moment, the white-faced Xiaosheng's skin suddenly swelled up and shattered like cloth. A big snake about ten feet long came out and swallowed a guard in one mouthful.

"monster!"

"Snake demon, it's really a snake demon!"

"Quick, run!"

In less than three breaths, the guards had already swallowed several people, and the swords in their hands could not leave a trace except for sparks on each other's bodies.

For a moment, the guards panicked and ran for their lives.

But the snake demon didn't intend to let them go. It moved like a snake at an extremely fast speed, and ate up the broken guards one by one, without letting them go!
After that, he slowly crawled up to the terrified scholar, and opened his bloody mouth.

The scholar trembled all over, he cried bitterly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. At this moment, no beauty, no dignity, is less important than life!
He was born in a famous family, and he could pass the imperial examination to make a fortune, how could he be willing to die in Shekou?

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, please!"

"You like my cousin, me, me... I gave her to you, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't kill me!"

When the dying girl saw her sweetheart talking like this, she became angry, sprayed a mouthful of blood on the scholar's face, and then died completely.

The snake demon uttered words, and said lightly: "Speaking of which, I should really be grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I might have died at the hands of that Taoist priest. It's a pity..."

His snake eyes were blood red, and he said angrily: "How dare you overturn the incense burner of this seat?"

At this moment, the scholar's heart is full of remorse, he only regrets that he didn't listen to the Taoist priest's words, his heart was blinded by profit, and he only wanted to swallow the fish intestine sword, and finally ended up like this.

With a neighing sound, the snake demon swallowed the scholar whole, and then took another look at the girl who died tragically. He swallowed it without hesitation!
After eating more than a dozen people in a row, his body is a bit bloated at the moment, and he is entrenched in front of the statue, ready to sleep.

But at this moment, a voice sounded.

"Are you full?"

The snake demon woke up suddenly and looked outside the temple.

Li Daoxuan was still wearing the cyan Taoist robe, and his messy long hair had been recombed into a bun last night. He pinched the talisman and said lightly: "I'm full, and I'll send you on your way."

"Stinky Taoist priest, you really linger!"

The eyes of the snake demon were full of anger. It swished out of the ancient temple, its head raised high, and its huge body stood more than ten meters high!
Its tail made a harsh sound.

"Smelly Taoist priest, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, but you dare to take the initiative to send it to your door, you are really asking for death!"

At this moment, the snake demon is not panicking at all. The realgar wine that he drank last night has expired, and the wound pierced by the fish intestine sword has also recovered seven or eighty at this time. In addition, he has eaten a lot of people just now. has basically recovered.

Although this little Taoist priest has some morals, he is not advanced, just let him avenge last night!
Unexpectedly, facing the threat of the snake demon, Li Daoxuan calmed down and said with a smile: "Snake demon, I want to see if someone will come to rescue you, luck is in your body? Hehe, you monster, Daoist I will kill it today!"

The snake demon became angry from embarrassment, and opened its big mouth to bite Li Daoxuan, but Li Daoxuan just moved around and moved around, erratic, avoiding the attack of the snake demon again and again.

For a moment, the entire rocky mountain trembled slightly, the vegetation collapsed, and there were traces of giant snakes crawling everywhere.

"Hehe, do you only speak big words? Don't you want to kill me, why do you only hide around like a stinky mouse?"

Li Daoxuan was unmoved, but just smiled lightly, as if he had a plan in mind.

After a while, the irritable snake demon suddenly stopped and froze there, with a look of pain in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, it began to roll continuously on the ground, excruciatingly painful, and its breath became weaker all of a sudden.

"This seat... What's wrong with this seat?"

Li Daoxuan stepped on the branch, looked down at it, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I just fed you some realgar wine."

"Impossible...absolutely impossible!"

"Hehe, there is a folk way to deal with poisonous snakes, which is to inject poison into the body of dead rats, and then lure the snakes to eat them. This method is actually not bad for dealing with snake demons."

Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, the snake demon widened his eyes and suddenly realized.

"You...you secretly put realgar wine in those people's water!"

Li Daoxuan snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "It's smart, but it's too late. Those people are being digested by you now, and the realgar wine in their bodies will naturally transfer to yours."

On the rocky mountain, there was a mournful roar.

"Smelly Taoist priest, you are despicable!"
