When Ling Yao woke up from meditation, the surroundings were dark.
But it's not the darkness that comes when the sky darkens. It's like it's wrapped in layers. It's more suffocating than the darkness.
…
Didn't he participate in the Feast of Ten Thousand Snakes and receive baptism from the holy spring like everyone else on the altar? What's going on now?
"hiss……"
Ling Yao lowered his head subconsciously. The feeling of the little ice python wrapped around my hand is still there, it seems like it’s not a dream or something...
He raised his right hand in this small space and lit a cluster of spiritual light on his fingertips.
Then……
Then he regretted it.
"Why are there so many snakes!!!"
It turned out that the things piled up around him layer by layer were none other than those piled up by the "gentlemen" who attended the Banquet of Ten Thousand Snakes.
And as he shouted, several pairs of bright spots suddenly lit up in the darkness, each staring at him brightly.
"Hiss, hiss~" "Hiss!" "Hiss - hiss -"
Even though Ling Yao wasn't very afraid of snakes, facing this weird scene, he was so frightened that he almost threw the Thunderbolt Technique.
what's the situation? ? what happened? !
Finally, this meditation successfully allowed him to enter the third level of the Puxiang. Why did he suddenly come up with such a frightening thing? Surrounding him like this is like he is food!
But it was these hissing snakes that made Ling Yao sure that he had not left the place and was still on the sacrificial platform.
Still on the territory of the God King Temple, he didn't dare to offend these elders, so he finally took back the Thunderbolt Jue.
The only good thing is that these snakes don't seem to be hostile to him, but are rather trying to please him.
It seemed that the conclusions of those "little experiments" he had done before were correct - although he could not figure out the principle and he still could not communicate with these snake monsters, the snakes in Rukawa seemed to have a special affinity for him. , not limited to a certain greedy snake.
So at that time, he told Fan Shansheng that if the guy from the Temple of the God King thought he was just lucky enough to "control" a snake, he would be in trouble - after all, if making a snake obedient was considered lucky, he What a blessing!
But even he didn't expect that this "closeness" could lead to such a big scene.
In this "snake wall", Ling Yao sharply spotted a certain giant python that he had poked in the waist before. Seeing Ling Yao glance over, the giant python first shrank its head, and then extended its head obsequiously to nuzzle him.
Don't ask why Ling Yao can see "flattery" in snakes. After all, a greedy snake who has been proven to be flattering without limit in order to stay by Ling Yao's side dares to adopt the same policy as himself when he sees a snake. , and immediately jumped up in anger... Oh no, wagging its tail, showing its fangs and frantically "declaring sovereignty", which frightened the giant python and coiled it back obediently.
Hmm...this probably means "can't beat it". People like him, the number one loser, also have to compete.
But joking aside, the scene in front of me was obviously not caused by the "killing" of the little ice python.
No matter whether these snakes are afraid of you, are close to you, or regard you as food, there is no need to keep a distance and half-wrap him with your body.
He had to go out and have a look.
Ling Yao didn't hesitate, stepped forward, stretched out his hand and poked the python's body again. He didn't realize there was anything "attractive" about him now, but he didn't want to get into a fight with a group of snakes for no reason (if he passed it back to Jianmen, he wouldn't be laughed to death), so he had to use a gentler way to signal the elders to leave quickly.
If these guys still plan to pester me like this... don't blame him for being rude.
However, the Snake Masters did not give Ling Yao a chance to "show off his talents". As soon as Ling Yao wanted to leave, the "snake wall" immediately loosened and fell back to the ground, twisting around on the high sacrificial platform.
As the "snake wall" "disappears", the light finally shines through.
Ling Yao squinted his eyes and realized...it was already evening! It was still early in the morning when the Feast of Ten Thousand Snakes just started!
Before he could take a step forward, he heard exclamations from the audience.
"He's out! He's out!"
"Snake Spirit Envoy! You are indeed the Snake Spirit Envoy!"
"I told you before, as long as that adult is here, the snake spirits will never hurt us!"
Ling Yao listened for a long time before he realized that the so-called "snake spirit messenger" who "saved people from fire and water" was talking about him.
...So how did those people at the God King Temple come up with such a term "Second Secondary"? What a shame!
He stepped around the snakes who were lying on the ground and refused to walk away. His eyes were constantly searching for familiar figures, and "messages" were constantly being sent out in his sea of consciousness.
[What is going on now? Why are there snakes all over the place! 】
However, before he could get the answer from his acquaintance, the priests on the high platform suddenly knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison:
"God bless Liuchuan and welcome the snake spirit envoy out of seclusion."
Ling Yao: ...It’s even more shameful!
Although Ling Linhan, who was lying not far away, also pretended to bow, but what surprised Ling Yao was that the other party heaved a sigh of relief. This made him even more hesitant about what just happened.
Fan Shansheng, who was among the priests, showed a complicated face, and his kneeling was much more pious than many others.
As the high priest, Da Xikang naturally did not fall to the ground like other priests, but he also touched his chest and bowed in a respectful manner that left people thinking.
But this time, Ling Yao couldn't pretend anymore. He really doesn't know what's going on now, and he doesn't know what attitude he should use to face these people's changes. He can just let nature take its course and look "at a loss" and "unsure".
Sure enough, Da Xikang knew how to get people off his feet, so he immediately picked up the conversation. He first praised the "Snake Spirit Envoy" and the entire Shenwang Temple, and then threatened to send the "Snake Spirit Envoy" back to his residence and let him take care of himself. Recuperate and perform well when God descends tomorrow.
Ling Yao was sent back in a daze, while Liang Yile, who was standing on the rooftop far away, whistled and silently took back the Wind Spirit Sword in his hand.
"Fortunately, if something happens, senior brother will have to beat me to death."
He sighed,
"That brat is so serious. What relationship does he have with Rukawa? Does he know..."
"What's the big deal?"
"Mom?!"
Liang Yile was startled by the cold voice behind him. He came back to his senses and patted his chest.
"Senior Sister, you are so scary..."
"Oh, then you burped."
"...Don't be like this, let's have a good relationship with our fellow apprentices."
Liang Yile touched his head in embarrassment.
"Senior sister, have you investigated clearly over there?"
Qu Qianling nodded slightly:
"The information given by the little bastard is quite accurate. I have found the location of the holy spring and confirmed that the so-called 'Sky Snake Spirit' is indeed trapped in the holy spring, and his strength is far from the mortal saint realm. Otherwise, I will leave It was so close that it couldn't have noticed me."
Liang Yile showed a helpless expression again:
"Senior sister, why do you do such risky things again..."
Qu Qianling just glanced at him and asked instead of answering:
"What happened? Why is it so messy down there?"
"Ah, well, we have to start from the morning. At the Sacrifice Ceremony of the God King Temple, apart from the prophecy sent by the gods, the most important thing is the baptism of the holy spring and the feast of ten thousand snakes."
Liang Yile shook his sleeves and started talking,
"No, the priest in the big white robe raised his staff, and the holy spring water gushed out. The snakes all over the mountains and plains were offended, and they pounced on the snake king statue. But who had thought that this time this year, the holy spring water would It was extremely small, and the sound was silenced within two seconds of support.
"Then tell me, how could those snake masters who attended the banquet be willing? They suddenly became violent and were about to hurt someone! But they didn't want to!"
Swish——
Liang Yile suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He turned his head slightly and saw the eldest sister's bright red hand under his throat, while the eldest sister had a "gentle" "smile" on her face:
"You continue talking? That's all?"
"No...don't want to...no! That's what it was. Before the snakes started to get messy, Ling Yao's little kid started to 'light up'! Not only did all the water from the holy spring outside fall on him, but the passage connecting the holy spring also seemed to be broken. It hit him directly, causing the holy spring water to flow out uncontrollably.
"Those snake masters immediately pounced on him as if they were possessed. The snake body wrapped him into a ball, and then he lay down and practiced peacefully. Just, just now! That kid Ling Yao just left. Come out! And it seems that he himself didn’t know what happened, so he went back with the priests in a daze.”
Qu Qianling snorted, patted Liang Yile's chin with her sword, and then took back her sword:
"Look, it's not nice to say it so simply and plainly."
"Good, good, very good, very good..."
Liang Yile nodded repeatedly, but tears were streaming down his face:
I'm just talking about my hobby of storytelling. If you don't listen, forget it. As for scaring me with a sword... Xingyao Peak, it's miserable; Junior Brother, it's miserable.
"Let's find a way to notify Qiu Tianming to come. Does he still need us to take care of his own apprentice's affairs?"
As soon as Qu Qianling said this, Liang Yile, who was touching his chin, was stunned for a moment, a little surprised:
"Ah? Let Senior Brother Qiu come over? But you clearly..."
Soon he realized that these words were not suitable to say, and quickly covered his mouth.
"Do you think that a person who has never been to Liuchuan in his life and has no blood connection in his ancestors will somehow resonate with the holy spring and become some kind of 'snake spirit messenger'? No matter what kind of talented person he is, He is still a spy from the God King Temple who has been lurking for many years. If this matter is not investigated, do you think Changling Sword Sect can feel at ease?"
Qu Qianling glared at him.
"So, do you want me to say it a second time?!"
"No, no, no, no... I will send a message to Senior Brother Qiu from the instant sound stone right away!"
Liang was worthy of being the elder who often played with Ling Yao when he was a child. When Yi should be scared, he was more happy than anyone else and ran away.
