Chapter 4: The Green Scale Snake Demon
...
The night wind blew, and darkness fell. A dark cloud came from nowhere and covered the moon. Endless darkness shrouded it, and a creepy feeling arose spontaneously.
"Village Chief, we can't wait any longer, it's too dangerous for us here." The middle-aged man said urgently, and the people behind him also gathered around, looking slightly uneasy.
"Let's go, tell everyone in the village to go to the ancestral hall, tonight..."
Before the village chief finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man next to him: "Village Chief, Uncle Nine is here."
Hearing this voice, all the people who were still waiting perked up and stood up to look at the four figures approaching quickly in the distance.
They all know these four people, one of them is from their village, and the other three have just met a few days ago.
"Uncle Nine!"
The village chief and a group of people rushed up to meet him and said upon meeting him: "Uncle Jiu, I have to trouble you again this time. This time..."
The village chief had a bitter look on his face. There were troubles in the village every day, and these monsters were the ones he provoked. As the village chief, he was really anxious and helpless.
Uncle Jiu nodded, interrupted the village chief, and said, "Uncle Zhang has already told me about the matter. Don't worry, I will get rid of the snake demon."
"That's good, that's good. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Jiu, for coming here so late." The village chief said with a smile on his face, and the villagers behind him kept thanking him.
"Village chief, do we still need to ask everyone to go to the ancestral hall?" At this time, the middle-aged man behind him suddenly said.
"This... Uncle Jiu?" The village chief looked at Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "Let's go to the ancestral hall."
"Okay, listen to Uncle Jiu." Seeing that Uncle Jiu also said the same thing, the village chief did not dare to delay and said directly: "Take everyone to the ancestral hall quickly, and remember not to leave separately."
"Yes, village chief." The middle-aged man responded, called a few people, turned around and ran towards the village.
"Uncle Jiu, do you need us to prepare anything?" The village chief looked at the middle-aged man leading people away and turned to ask.
"Are the things from the last forum still there? Those things are enough."
"Yes, yes, those things are at Lao Zhangtou's house. Let's go there now."
"Okay, please lead the way, village chief."
"Uncle Ninth is too polite, Uncle Ninth please."
"please."
Jiang Xing followed his master and the village chief in silence all the way. They were both green-scaled snake demons. The whole village attacked the old Zhangtou's family alone, and the leftover things from the last time happened to be at the old Zhangtou's house.
He had reason to believe that this snake demon was here to seek revenge.
But I just wondered why the snake demon didn't go directly to Jiuquan Town to find his master and apprentice, but chose to attack Lao Zhangtou's family to lure his master and apprentice over. Could it be that he was worried that the away game would be detrimental to him?
So choose a place that’s good for you?
Not long after, everyone came to Lao Zhangtou's house, which was an ordinary farmhouse. The courtyard door was in tatters and fell to the side, as if it had been violently broken by the snake demon.
After crossing the gate and walking into the courtyard, everyone could not help but shiver as the night wind blew. They unconsciously leaned towards Uncle Jiu and surrounded him tightly.
"Don't worry, there is nothing here." Uncle Jiu glanced around the yard, turned around and said, "Village Chief, is there any liquor in the village?"
"Strong liquor? Yes, I have it at home. If Uncle Jiu wants it, I will send someone to get it right now." The village chief said quickly.
"Okay, Axing, you go with the village chief, get the wine and come back as soon as possible. Village chief, you can go directly to the ancestral hall." After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight to the main house of Lao Zhangtou's house, "Xiaoyue, come here
help."
"Yes, Master." They both responded at the same time.
...
"Master, is it okay to let everyone in the village stay in the ancestral hall? If the snake demon goes to the ancestral hall, then..." Xiaoyue said worriedly as she watched her master keep carving pictures there.
Jiang Xing took the talisman that Uncle Jiu had just drawn, put it aside, shook his head and said, "The snake demon won't go there."
"Why?"
"The snake demon is here to seek revenge. It will only come to the three of us, so the ancestral hall is safe."
"Seeking revenge? Senior brother, what do you mean..."
"Um."
"Okay, you two carry the altar to the courtyard outside." Uncle Jiu interrupted the two of them.
"Yes, Master." The two of them did not dare to delay, and quickly stepped forward to lift the altar and carried it outside the courtyard.
At this time, the dark clouds drifted away, the bright moon was in the sky, and the yard was illuminated extremely brightly.
Soon, Uncle Jiu, dressed in an apricot Taoist robe, walked out with a serious face, came to the altar, pointed his fingers and said: "The snake demon is coming soon, you two, please pay attention."
"Master, is that snake demon really here to seek revenge?" Xiaoyue asked in a trembling voice. At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the scene where the snake demon pounced on her, and her body trembled slightly.
"Yes." Uncle Jiu did not deny it. He glanced at Xiaoyue, who was trembling slightly, and said to Jiang Xing, "Axing, protect Xiaoyue."
"Don't worry, master, I will definitely protect Xiaoyue." Jiang Xing patted his chest and said loudly.
"Huh? Why are you speaking so loudly? I can hear you." Uncle Jiu glared at Jiang Xing and said angrily.
"Yes, Master." Jiang Xing scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
One thing to say, not only Xiaoyue was afraid, but he was also afraid. At this moment, there was already a layer of dense cold sweat on his back.
Ah Xing is not afraid of snakes, and even dares to fight the snake demon head-on. But now the person standing here is no longer Ah Xing, but Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing is afraid of snakes, very afraid!
In his previous life, when he was a child, he went to the river with a group of older children to catch fish and crabs, and was bitten by a snake. From then on, he was extremely afraid of snakes.
"Senior brother, why do I think you are more scared than me?" Xiaoyue finally discovered this and said strangely.
"I'm not afraid, I'm just...just..." Jiang Xing's eyes rolled around and he laughed dryly: "I just drank too much water when I came here, and I couldn't hold it in anymore."
"If you can't hold it in anymore, go to the hut. Why are you holding it in?" Xiaoyue felt very puzzled, and after her senior brother did this, she was miraculously not afraid anymore. It seemed that all her fears were transferred to her senior brother.
"It's okay. It's not too late to go after that snake demon is dealt with." Jiang Xing waved his hand. How could he leave his master at this time? He couldn't wait to stick to Uncle Jiu.
Recite the Calming Mantra silently in your mind to eliminate distracting thoughts in your mind, then raise your head and look in the direction of the courtyard door.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Uncle Jiu shouted coldly, Jiang Xing subconsciously turned his head, and saw several yellow talismans shot out from Uncle Jiu's hand, hitting several rocks that were coming at high speed. Each stone was the size of a human head. From them,
Attacking from behind is extremely insidious.
There was a sound of explosions and rubble flew.
The next moment, a giant snake figure about five meters long came. Its blue scales shone with a cold light under the moonlight, its long snake teeth exuded a chilling air, and its dark green snake eyes were emotionless.
