The next day, dawn.
The heavy rain last night has dispersed, the air is filled with the fragrance of dust and grass, the red sun is rising, and the morning light is pleasant.
The scholar and the girl spent the night in Wutong Temple and were now ready to leave this ghost 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 in his cousin's arms and refused to leave, making it inconvenient for him to do anything else.
When he walked out of Wutong Temple, he saw the guards drinking water.
The leader of the guards handed a clean water bag to the scholar and said respectfully: "Master, have a drink of water. I have to go on my way soon."
The scholar nodded, took a few sips, frowned slightly, and said, "Why does this water taste a little strange?"
He always felt something didn't taste right.
The leader of the guards smiled apologetically and said, "Maybe it rained heavily last night and the rainwater accidentally seeped in."
The scholar snorted coldly and did not reprimand him. He just threw the water bag to him and said calmly: "Let's go."
At this moment, he had already lost interest in going into the mountains and just wanted to go back and have a good rest.
The only thing that made him happy was probably the ancient swordfish intestines around his waist.
At this moment, with a loud bang, the door of the ancient temple suddenly closed, and the cousin's frightened scream sounded inside.
The scholar was startled and ran to push the door open, only to find that the door did not move at all.
This surprised him very much. You must know that he had paid special attention to it last night. The door was a bit old and could not be locked from the inside.
He looked inside through the crack in the door and saw a sliver of snow-white skin and long black messy hair.
Pieces of clothes were torn to pieces, followed by my cousin's lung-breaking shouts.
The scholar's eyes were about to burst, and he said to the guards: "Quickly, open this door for me!"
The guards stepped forward and knocked against the door. They were carefully selected experts, but even with all their strength, they couldn't hit it even a bit.
The screams of my cousin in the temple were even more miserable.
The scholar was very anxious and said angrily: "Draw your sword and chop down the door!"
…
I don’t know how long it took, but the screams in the temple gradually became quieter. My cousin’s throat, which was originally as clear as an oriole, has now become extremely hoarse.
The temple door had been chopped into pieces, and the scholar was the first to rush in. The scene he saw made him furious.
I saw a petite beauty lying on the dirty ground, with bruises everywhere on her body, and the white skirt underneath her body was stained red with blood.
A white-faced young man in fancy clothes was adjusting his sleeves, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Your cousin is very moist."
When the scholar saw his dying cousin, he pulled out the fish intestine sword from his waist with a clang, and stabbed the white-faced boy with a roar.
Bang!
The sword fell to the ground. The snake demon held his wrist and squeezed it gently. There was a crisp sound, and the bones of the scholar's wrist were completely broken, hanging down at a terrifying angle.
"Save the young master quickly!"
The guards rushed up one after another and slashed at the white-faced boy.
The next moment, the skin of the white-faced young boy suddenly swelled up and shattered like cloth. A big snake about ten feet long came out and swallowed a guard in its mouth.
"monster!"
"The snake demon is really a snake demon!"
"Quick, run!"
In less than three breaths, several of the guards had been swallowed, and the swords in their hands could not leave even a trace except sparks on the opponent's body.
For a moment, the guards were panicked and scrambled to escape.
But the snake demon didn't intend to let them go. It moved its snake body very fast and ate up the scattered guards one by one without sparing any of them!
Then he slowly crawled up to the horrified scholar and opened his mouth.
The scholar was trembling all over. He cried bitterly and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly. At this moment, no beauty or dignity was as important as life!
He was born into a noble family, and he was about to pass the imperial examination and rise to great heights. How could he be willing to die in the mouth of a snake?
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, please!"
"You like your cousin, me, 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 speaking like this, she became angry and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the scholar's face, then died completely.
The snake demon spoke human words and said calmly: "Speaking of which, I should really be grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I might have died in the hands of that Taoist priest. It's a pity..."
His eyes were blood red and he said angrily: "How dare you knock over my incense burner?"
At this moment, the scholar's heart was full of remorse. He only regretted that he did not listen to the Taoist priest's words. He was so greedy for profit that he only wanted to swallow the fish intestine sword, and finally suffered this fate.
With a hiss, the snake demon swallowed the scholar whole, and then glanced at the tragically dead girl. He didn't hesitate and swallowed it in one gulp!
After eating more than a dozen people in a row, his body was a little bloated at the moment. He was squatting in front of the statue, preparing to take a nap.
But at this moment, a voice sounded.
"Are you full?"
The snake demon woke up suddenly and looked outside the temple.
Li Dao
"The smelly Taoist priest is really haunting!"
The snake demon's eyes were filled with anger. It jumped out of the ancient temple with a swish, its head raised high, and its huge body stood more than ten meters high!
Its tail made a harsh sound.
"Stinky Taoist, I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you dare to take the initiative to send me to my door. You are really asking for your own death!"
At this moment, the snake demon is not panic at all. The realgar wine he drank last night has expired, and the wound stabbed by the fish intestine sword has also recovered to some extent. In addition, he has just eaten many people, and at this time, his magic power Has been basically restored.
Although this little Taoist priest has some Taoism, he is not profound. It is just right for him to avenge last night!
Unexpectedly, facing the threat of the snake demon, Li Daoxuan was calm and composed, and said with a smile: "Snake demon, I want to see if someone will come to save you. Good luck? Haha, you monster, Master Dao I will kill you today!"
The snake demon became angry and opened its big mouth to bite Li Daoxuan, but Li Daoxuan just turned around and shrank, his body was erratic, hiding here and there, and avoided the snake demon's attacks one after another.
For a time, the entire rocky mountain was trembling slightly, the vegetation collapsed, and there were traces of giant snakes crawling everywhere.
"Haha, do you only talk big words? Aren't you going to kill me? Why are you just hiding around like a stinky rat?"
Li Daoxuan was unmoved and just smiled lightly, as if he had a plan in mind.
After a moment, the violent snake demon suddenly froze there, with a look of pain in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, it began to roll on the ground, feeling extremely painful, and its breath suddenly became much weaker.
"I...what's wrong with me?"
Li Daoxuan stepped on the branch, looked down at it, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just fed you some realgar wine."
"Impossible... absolutely impossible!"
"Haha, there is a folk method to deal with venomous snakes, which is to pour poison into the body of a dead mouse and then tempt the snake to eat it. This method is actually not bad for dealing with snake monsters."
Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, the snake demon's eyes widened and he suddenly realized.
"You...you secretly put realgar wine in those people's water!"
Li Daoxuan snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Smart, but it's too late. Those people are being digested by you at the moment, and the realgar wine in their bodies will naturally be transferred to your body."
A sad roar came from the rocky mountain.
"Stinky Taoist priest, you are despicable!"
