Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The white snake is still five meters long and has not grown any more. However, the constant swallowing of mist every day has made it stronger and stronger. At the same time, the lubricated snake scales are whiter and more beautiful. It used to be scary at first glance, but now it looks special.

The beauty of.

In the pool, a triangular ripple spread to both sides.

Wow~

Raise the water splash and raise the snake's head high, then leisurely go ashore after taking a bath.

You climbed to rest under a huge old ginkgo tree, which is as thick as five or six people can hug each other. The ginkgo tree is very old and looks to be at least a thousand years old.

It is slightly cool in nature, and only cold-blooded animals like snakes like to climb on it in summer.

Suddenly, the resting white snake raised its head and looked into the distance. The infrared sensor detected a humanoid object approaching, and opened its mouth to show its fangs as a warning sign.

When I got closer, I realized through my keen sense of smell that it was an old acquaintance, the herb collector.

We said goodbye as we did ten years ago. In ten years, time has made this man who risked his life to go into the mountains to collect herbs more vicissitudes. In ancient times, the living environment was harsh, lack of nutrition, and various social reasons. Human lifespan is generally short, more than fifty years old.

Even at the age of 40, one can live a long life, and countless people died in their forties. Wang Da, who was in his forties, was already as old as a sixty-year-old man. White Snake doubted that his rickety body could still climb the cliff to pick dendrobium.

After seeing each other again after a long separation, the herb gatherer is old, but the white snake is still the same as ten years ago.

"It's been ten years, I never thought I'd see you again."

The old herb collector was talking to himself, and the white snake raised its head and looked at the old man who was no longer verbose.

"I have become a useless old man. I can't make money for my family and my son and daughter-in-law have to support me."

"…………"

"My wife left in the spring of the year before last and had nothing to eat due to drought. She disobeyed advice and ate Guanyin soil. If she didn't eat the soil, she could live longer. But if she ate the soil, she could only live seven days. I know she did it to save food for her children.

…”

"…………"

"My son got married and gave birth to a daughter. In fact, deep down in my heart, I want a grandchild more. The Wang family cannot live without an heir."

White Snake listened quietly, listening to the talk of the herbal collector. This old man who had worked hard to support his family all his life could not change the poverty in his family. He did not understand why he was poor. White Snake understood that in this class, it has long been solidified and

In the chaotic ancient times, it was difficult for the vast majority of the population to live a good life. To put it bluntly, being able to live was a gift from those powerful and aristocratic families.

"Everyone outside said that there is a white dragon cultivating here. I know it was you they saw. Madam Liu San's wife also said that you gave him a dream, haha~"

I am speechless. I have never asked anyone to entrust someone with a dream, and I don’t have the ability to do so.

Under the ginkgo tree, the old man was talking to himself to a white snake...

The herb collector left in the afternoon.

White Snake felt that he might not die soon, and Snake Xinzi could smell the smell of death on his body. Maybe he would be very happy, as he could see his wife after death and save food for his son's family.

Suddenly he wanted to seize the time to practice. The taste of death was not good, and White Snake didn't want to die again.

Snake nature likes shade, so White Snake, who has no cultivation experience, had to look for a shady place to breathe based on his past life knowledge. He happened to remember the small puddle on the cliff where he swallowed the elixir, so he did what he wanted to do, left the ginkgo tree and quickly climbed up the mountainside.

, the small puddle was still there, and the small water flow from the cracks in the rocks above gathered into the small puddle. The water was clear and sweet. White Snake felt that this must be a good place to practice.

Make it into a plate, raise your head and breathe out.

In the mountains, a white snake strives to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in order to survive...

…………

A few years later.

After the mountain rain, the clouds and mist surged like rivers, and the vast mist surged and swelled like the Milky Way falling from the sky for nine days. It rolled over the deep valleys and over the ridges. In the vast sea of ​​clouds, a white snake stood on a boulder on the top of the mountain and floated in the sea of ​​clouds.

After many years of practice, I seize every opportunity to swallow the clouds and mist. It feels right intuitively, and the actual results satisfy White Snake.

Cultivation can give a lonely life something to do. Snakes are egg-laying creatures. When they break out of their shells, they don't know who their parents are and they have no habit of recognizing brothers and sisters. If nothing happens, they won't meet at all. If it's serious, they may fight. White Snake is born

Since then, he has lived alone and never been near other snakes. He can be considered a home snake that has lived at home for more than 30 years.

After the breath-taking, I went down the mountain with a gust of fishy wind.

Recently, White Snake has been in trouble, and the situation is very strange.

For some reason, there are always big snakes running into my territory and getting close to me, and I can't drive them away. When I get annoyed, I have to use my size advantage to roughly throw the big snake away, but one after another comes endlessly.

There was a big snake in front of him, raising his body and dancing, following him wherever he went. In anger, he bit the snake's head and threw it away hard!

It took a long time for White Snake to understand this phenomenon...

Life was hard to pass. I was harassed while sleeping under the ginkgo tree. I was harassed when I went to the mountains to practice.

Four or five more big snakes swam over, but they had no choice but to move away quickly with speed exceeding that of ordinary snakes.

When I ran to the other side of the mountain, a few more big snakes gathered over me.

The annoyed White Snake thought that he should think of a way. He looked at the direction where Wang Da entered and left the mountain. On a whim, he wanted to go out and see what the human world was like in ancient times. After all, it would be a shame not to experience the ancient times after coming here.

born.

Of course, you can just look at it from a distance at the edge of the forest. There is no need to leave the forest and put yourself in danger.

Just leave as soon as you say it, you don’t have any belongings to hold you back, and you don’t have to think about where to eat or where to live. You climb out of the mountain along the faint smell of human beings, wandering in an S shape and embarking on a new journey.

Two days later.

The further you go, the more human activity there is.

For example, under a boulder that can shelter from the rain, there are many traces of campfires, hacking marks, and some simple traps. There are basically no large animals in the periphery and there are few types of animals. Most of them are pheasants, rabbits, foxes, and the like. Of course, there are also

Rats are inevitable everywhere.

After a long time, I finally came to the edge of the woods and saw the villages of this world.

The first impression is poverty. The second impression is very poor. As the saying goes, poverty makes jingle bells, but even jingle bells can’t ring in this place. There are low and dilapidated thatched houses at the foot of the hillside. There are many rice fields next to the valley and streams. Two elderly people

There were a lot of men using water trucks to fill the rice fields. Skinny yellow dogs ran across the field ridges, and even the mice were not very fat.

There are more than 20 households and less than 100 people, making it a small village.

I remember that the herb collector mentioned his son's family, but he couldn't go looking for it if he didn't know them. Forget it, just take a look around and go back to the mountains. Maybe those big snakes will have subsided by then.

Thus, White Snake began his voyeuristic career.

Someone in the village discovered something unusual nearby...
