Chapter 23 White Snake Village Ancestral Hall

"Zheng Qiu, that senior was not spared either?" The white jade civet cat looked around curiously, but the occasional smell of blood in the air made her frown.

Zheng Qiu looked at the blood slowly flowing along the stone road in the village. The village that was originally home to a powerful force was actually slaughtered like this.

"Where?" Zheng Qiu asked directly.

"My father said it's in an ancestral hall on the mountain behind the village. But no outsider has really gone in over the years, so I don't know." Sun Ying seemed a little helpless.

Zheng Qiu thought about it and agreed. Since a mortal could know it, its authenticity was hard to believe. But it was a clue after all, and he couldn't just ignore it just because it wasn't true.

Zheng Qiu quickly swept through the village and took a quick look. There was not a single survivor. Most of the bodies were men, and there was not a single body of a young woman.

Looking at the tragic situation in the village, he did not explore the ancient tomb immediately. Instead, he took out a shovel from his storage bag and started digging a hole in the open space behind the village.

Sun Ying didn't understand: "Why are you here if you don't want to explore the immortal's ancient tomb?"

Zheng Qiu slowly raised his head and glanced at Sun Ying: "Isn't it obvious? Bury the dead! Are we going to let them rot and stink here? I'm going to take their treasures, so I should do something for them first."

Zhang Wuchang did not say anything, but silently found a cart in the village and slowly transported the bodies to the pit dug by Zheng Qiu.

"Tsk~ Why are you pretending to be a good person? Even the people in your own village didn't see you buried."

Without even looking up, Zheng Qiu casually wove a few straw mats to wrap the unknown person up and then buried him: "Maybe you are right! But there were people in the village of Kukui who helped bury the body. This village is gone now, not a single person is left. I am quite surprised that you can't empathize with such a scene."

Sun Ying's face showed a trace of panic. At this moment, she looked like a child who had done something wrong: "Isn't it okay for me to help?"

Zheng Qiu ignored them and just kept digging holes and weaving straw mats. With the bonus of a cultivator's physique, he filled more than 300 holes in one afternoon. There were many bodies of soldiers among them. He also considerately chose a distant place to bury them, mainly because he was afraid that they would fight.

After Zheng Qiu finished these things, he found a huge stone at the entrance of the village and started carving.

"Anonymous Victims"

After Zheng Qiu finished, he dusted himself off and said, "Let's go!"

As he spoke, he grabbed a person with one hand and flew into the air. As a cultivator, his eyesight had long surpassed the limits of ordinary people. With a quick glance in the mountains, he locked onto the ancestral hall at a glance.

“This should be it!” Zheng Qiu stood in front of the ancestral hall and saw the words “Changxian Temple” written on it. He could feel the fluctuations contained in it just by standing in front of the door.

He slowly pushed open the door, which made a creaking sound. The ancestral hall was brightly lit. In the middle was a huge snake skin, and on top of it were densely packed various spirit tablets.

Zheng Qiu felt that the spiritual power fluctuation was emitted by the snake skin in front of him.

He bowed slowly and said, "Please forgive me, Senior. Yesterday, a banished immortal came down to earth and the world suffered a catastrophe. I would like to borrow your golden body for use. I hope you can understand."

After Zheng Qiu finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to put the snake skin into a storage bag, but at this moment the ancestral hall suddenly shook, and the floor tiles fell down instantly. At this moment, the ground of the ancestral hall seemed like a bloody mouth that opened wide, and it sucked the three people into the ground with infinite suction. Then there was a loud bang and it closed instantly. The floor tiles were not damaged at all, as if nothing had happened just now.

The white jade civet cat seemed to sense something. It just glanced at it, then lay down in front of the snake's skin and dozed off with a bored look on its face.

Zheng Qiu steadied his body in the air, and with his hands he made a gesture, his gloves instantly grew larger to catch the three people. Then he used his spiritual power to stop the three people steadily in the air.

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly the suction force underground increased, and the three of them fell to the ground in an instant, stirring up clouds of dust.

Zheng Qiu was not affected at all, but if the other two had not been protected by gloves, they would have been smashed into pieces.

Looking around, I could only see bare stone walls, but upon closer inspection I discovered that the stone walls were made up of pieces of scales, which appeared smooth but were actually uneven.

Zheng Qiu gently touched the wall, and suddenly a rumbling sound was heard, and a door appeared on the wall instantly.

The door opened slightly and a powerful spiritual energy blew Zheng Qiu backwards. Before he could stand firmly, a group of white snake phantoms surrounded him. As for Zhang Wuchang and Sun Ying, they were not affected at all. They even showed a hint of confusion on their faces when they saw Zheng Qiu's strange movements.

Zheng Qiu had an idea in his mind. It seemed that this was just a trap set up against cultivators.

The gloves returned to Zheng Qiu's hands in an instant. Zheng Qiu raised his hands and two surging streams of white jade spirit fire erupted. The demon fire had the characteristic of burning the true spirit. When it touched the white snake's phantom, it made a crackling sound.

The white snakes also twisted their bodies wildly.

The group of white snakes suddenly formed a magic circle in an orderly manner, opened their mouths suddenly, and surrounded Zheng Qiu in the middle with white light. Suddenly, a huge snake skeleton quickly crawled out and knocked Zheng Qiu away with force. The force of the impact even shattered the surrounding walls.

Zheng Qiu felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a stream of blood.

When the blood splashed on the snake scale wall, suddenly the snake scale emitted a gorgeous golden light, and in an instant a voice appeared in Zheng Qiu's mind.

"Youngster! I mean no harm to you, put away your flames!"

Zheng Qiu held the flame in one hand and stared at the white snake bone in front of him. The snake bone was huge and several dozen feet long. Zheng Qiu standing in front of the snake bone was not even as big as one of the huge teeth in the snake's mouth.

"Who are you, senior?" Zheng Qiu didn't dare to really take back the white jade spirit fire. He could only lower the flame to prevent himself from being passive again.

"Me? I don't know! I have forgotten a lot of things in these long years. I am just a remnant soul." The voice in the soul sounded again, making Zheng Qiu's hair stand on end.

"Senior! I have no intention of disturbing your sleep. I only ask you to let us out. I am willing to set up a formation to protect the ancestral hall and I will never disturb you again." Zheng Qiu could only hope that this giant snake was not a cruel and ruthless person.

"I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just that I lost the ability to communicate with others over the long years. I took your blood just to communicate with you. Otherwise, how could a mere foundation-building cultivator have a chance of survival? Just relax."

Zheng Qiu asked with some confusion: "I wonder why you called me here."

Zheng Qiu looked at the other two people with confused faces and had a guess in his mind. He thought that he must be the only one who could see the snake bones in front of him. It seemed that the snake bones were not real.
