Bai Jun's consciousness gradually fell into coma, and he realized that he was getting weaker little by little. If he continued like this, his consciousness would completely dissipate, and perhaps he would be what others said was his soul was gone!
This thousand-year-old river outside Fenglin was cut off by the relics of a Buddhist monk. Baijun, a red jade bead, also rolled downstream with the turbulent river water. It did not sink when it encountered water and moved with the current. This water is the water of life, and there is God's will in the living water. vitality.
Bai Jun's field of vision floated under the river. He had seen fish, eels, shrimps, turtles, snakes and crabs.
In his previous life, he had a phobia of the deep sea. Now, immersing himself in the world under the river is a kind of torture for him.
As the river flowed down the river, his vision was shaky. Bai Jun couldn't tell the difference between the sun and the moon, and he didn't know how much time had passed. Until one day, he was carried by the river and rushed into a gentle current.
A black-gray water snake as thick as a fist took the ruby bead as a swimming fish and swallowed it in one gulp.
Bai Jun's consciousness fell into chaos and ignorance.
But they said that the water snake swam all the way down, and after two months, it became bigger and bigger, and the snake's belly became bloated. After preying, it finally stopped in a shallow water stall, and it was about to lay eggs!
The female snake hovered under a hidden shallow water beach. The water temperature here was neither cold nor hot, and there were lush aquatic plants blocking the view. The water depth was just right and there were few creatures. It was an excellent place to give birth!
The coiled body of the female snake suddenly unfolded after a few hours, as if she was suffering from great pain. The snake's tail kept swaying, causing the dust on the bottom of the water to rise up into a turbid mess.
One day and one night later, an extremely slender little gray snake emerged from under the female snake's tail.
Water snakes reproduce by laying eggs and giving birth to viviparous eggs. Snake eggs are conceived in the body of the female snake and then hatched inside the body. This is also the reason why the body of the female snake becomes more and more bloated.
After the baby snake hatches, it will be born outside the body of the mother snake. It does not have to go through the stages from egg hatching to snake in the outside world. This can greatly improve the survival ability of the baby snake.
I saw baby snakes crawling out from under the tail of the mother snake one after another. There were nine baby snakes entangled around the mother snake.
The female snake thought she had finished laying eggs, but unexpectedly she felt pain and laid another white snake egg the size of a plum.
The female snake raised her body, spit out the snake message and felt the heat in the water, but found that there was no heat at all. This was obviously a dead egg!
The female snake doesn't care. She can give birth to fifty or sixty baby snakes a year, and there are often dead eggs.
After a short rest, the mother snake took her young and left the water. After all, it was unfamiliar with this water, and there was an instinctive fear of animals deeper in the water.
It turns out that the female snake lost the keen sense of this animal when she was raising her offspring and laying eggs. Now that she has passed the birth date, of course the female snake hastily left.
And the dead egg abandoned by the mother snake was left there without anyone paying attention.
Dark clouds gathered over this water pond, and there were occasional clouds and rain in the early summer evening.
"Boom~"
There was thunder and a summer rain came.
The water level in the pool rose, and the snake egg was lifted by the water to a pile of rocks on the edge of the pool.
A few hours later, the heavy rain stopped, the sky became dark, and the bright moon rose high. Occasionally, fish jumped up in the pool, causing a wave of water, which stirred the full moon reflected in the pool.
The pool is backed by mountains and faces the valley. The endless mountains in the distance prove that this is a land of mountains.
On the land not far from the pool, a thick weeping willow stands. From time to time, there is the sound of wild cats and hawks spreading their wings, and occasionally the chirping of insects in the quiet dark night.
A wild deer carefully came to the edge of the pool and lowered its head to taste the sweet water. Fortunately, it did not step on the snake egg.
The full moon rose high, the water level of the pool fell back, and the moonlight shone on the snake egg. There was no magical light, and the valley remained as peaceful as ever.
On the second day, the sun rises, and the sun illuminates the world, allowing the creatures in this valley to thrive.
The snake egg was illuminated by the sun, and gradually gained a trace of heat that no one noticed.
The sun rises and the moon sets, time travels, seventy-seven forty-nine days have passed in the blink of an eye, summer has also turned from the beginning to the peak, the poisonous sun rays mercilessly exposed everything, even the weeping willow has some branches withered.
On the rocky pond, the heat became even stronger. At noon, a weak breeze blew by, and the snake egg that had been silent for seventy-seven and forty-nine days finally started to move again.
A crack appeared on the gray eggshell and gradually expanded, spreading to the entire eggshell.
"Kacha~"
A sound so low that humans could not detect it came, and a white snake head poked out of the eggshell. When it raised its face, it felt the sun above its head was extremely hot, so the little snake crawled out of the eggshell and swam into the water.
This little white snake is Bai Jun.
He was swallowed by the female snake, but gave birth to a baby snake, and the ruby bead was still stuck seven inches away from him, like a snake ring.
Bai Yan didn't know how long he had been in coma. Now that he had been reborn as a snake, he should cherish his life again. He had already suffered the most unbearable torture during those days when he was trapped on the ruby bead.
Even if you are reborn as a snake in this life, you must live well. After all, this is a world of immortals, Buddhas and demons!
Bai Jun turned his head and looked at his white body. He did not complain about the inconvenience caused by his white body. He just dived down and buried himself under the stems and leaves of green water plants. The warm water of the pool at noon in midsummer was the most suitable for his delicate newborn body to survive. .
His vertical snake pupils are different from ordinary snakes. Bai Jun can see the colorful world, just like human eyes. This is his only comfort.
However, when Bai Yan spit out the snake letter, he could feel the heat of the surrounding creatures. He had double vision superposition!
Bai Jun felt happy, this was the only luck among all kinds of suffering. He must take advantage of this and live well.
Only by living can we have everything in the future.
After all, the survival rate of a young water snake is only 60%, and if he is far away from the mother snake, the survival rate is less than 30%!
Fortunately, it’s midsummer now!
Summer is the hottest season of all life. Even if the plum blossoms bloom in the frost, their branches must grow vigorously in summer to have the fragrance of plum blossoms in the cold winter.
Bai Yan stabilized his body and remained motionless. He was a little hungry.
The thin eyelids outside the upright snake's pupils closed and opened again, and he slowly spat out the slightly bifurcated snake letter. He sensed the heat of the creatures within a few feet around him. A big toad covered with pimples squatted in the water. Among the rocks on the beach, you use the green-gray moss that grows over time to protect yourself when the pebbles are soaked in the pond water.
A catfish arched and arched at the bottom of the water not far away, and found a thread beetle under the turbid shallow cement sand and swallowed it.
Bai Jun also vaguely heard the sound of wings flying by in the sky. He didn't know whether it was a wild goose or a sparrow.
Bai Jun was surprised to find that there were several late-born tadpoles not far from his body!
In such a hot and muggy weather, it is probably midsummer, and it is very difficult to see tadpoles. Now this group of tadpoles has also formed a third leg. Each one is only about the size of half an unshelled peanut. For Bai Jun today, I mean, it's a delicious meal.
The snake's brain nerves stimulated his mind, tempting him to eat the delicious food to keep himself alive!
Bai Jun is very patient. Thanks to the months of being trapped on the red jade bead, he has the temperament to endure loneliness, and the memory of humans has given him wisdom that surpasses that of beasts!
He was like a white thread, floating under the dense water plants, motionless, quietly waiting for his first prey!
"Pullinglen~"
Suddenly, a big bird in the sky folded its wings, lowered its head and pecked at the pool water, its eyes alertly observing the surroundings for anything that could pose a threat to it. But it is a wild goose drinking water.
The sudden arrival of this wild goose made the toad hidden on the river beach jump into the water with a "pop" sound.
The tadpoles with three legs under the water were all scurrying around in panic. Bai Jun suddenly opened his mouth and bit the third leg of a tadpole, then swallowed the struggling tadpole.
There is no way, Bai Jun's body is too small now, only twenty centimeters long, and not as thick as some grass roots, just like a larger white earthworm.
The taste of tadpoles is still good for Bai Jun, who is now a snake. This good feeling does not come from the mouth and tongue, but from the stomach to the brain after being slightly satisfied.
Because snakes do not have odor-sensing organs in their mouths, it is difficult for them to taste food.
"Pullinglen~"
"Pullinglen~"
After the goose drank water, dozens of geese suddenly fell from the sky. It turned out that the goose was a scout.
However, so many birds fell, alarming countless creatures on the river beach. River shrimps and crabs hid in mud holes one after another, and fish of all sizes swam to the deepest part.
Unfortunately, the humblest river snail by the river had no time to escape and was the slowest. It was feasted by the geese. Even some small fish and shrimps that escaped were pecked by the geese.
Bai Jun did not panic deep in the water plants. Instead, he took advantage of the fish swimming around and swallowed a three-legged tadpole, a small shrimp, and a small fry. His stomach was full!
After Bai Jun had eaten enough, he hid deep in the water plants to hide from the sight of the geese. He remained motionless and waited for them to rest and leave.
At the same time, he was also digesting the food in his stomach. After all, he was just a young snake and his digestive power was still very weak.
After waiting for half an hour, the group of wild geese had enough to eat and drink and flew away leisurely.
Bai Yan hurriedly surfaced and breathed greedily the air above the water. At this moment, the wild geese had just taken off, and the loud sound of flapping their wings scared countless creatures and dared not move. Only Bai Yan knew that this was the safest opportunity. , taking the opportunity to summon Qi.
Snakes cannot breathe in water, but snakes are also cold-blooded animals, so they need very little oxygen. Water snakes have air sacs section by section that can store air for their body needs.
After summoning his breath, Bai Yan dived into the water again, completely stopping his body movement to reduce physical exertion and at the same time for the sake of his body's growth.
At this moment, he was a newborn snake. His body was so fragile that a crab could cut him off with one pincer. Bai Yan had to wait for himself to grow up and his body became stronger. He wanted to live. This was his only thought now.
In a natural world where survival is a problem and dangers abound, how could he be distracted by fantasizing about future fairies and demons?
Staying alive and protecting your own life is the first priority for all animals except humans.
