Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.

The white snake is still five meters long and has not grown again, but the continuous swallowing of fog every day makes it stronger and stronger. At the same time, the smooth snake scales are whiter and more beautiful. It used to be scary at first glance, but now it looks special. beauty.

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

clatter~

The water sprayed up and the snake's head was raised high, and after taking a bath, it went ashore leisurely.

I climbed to rest under a huge old ginkgo tree that was as thick as five or six people hugging each other. The ginkgo tree was very old and seemed to have a lifespan of at least a thousand years. It is slightly cool, 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 human-shaped object approaching, and opened its mouth to show its fangs as a vigilant gesture.

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

We met and worshiped like ten years ago. Ten years, time has made this man who risked his life into the mountains to collect medicines more vicissitudes. The living environment in ancient times was poor, lack of nutrition, and various social reasons. Human life expectancy is generally short. Every year is considered a long life, and countless people died in their forties. Wang Da was already as old as a sixty-year-old man in his forties.

Once we meet again after years, the herb picker is old, and the white snake is still as it was ten years ago.

"Ten years, I never thought I'd see you again"

The old herbal picker was talking to himself, and the white snake raised its head and looked at the old man who no longer talked.

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

"..."

"My wife left in the spring of the year before last. There was nothing to eat in the drought. I didn't listen to the persuasion and ate Guanyin soil. If I didn't eat the soil, I could live longer. After eating the soil, I could only live for seven days. I know that she was saving food for the children. ..."

"..."

"My son got married and gave birth to a daughter. In fact, I want a grandson more in my heart. The Wang family can't live without a descendant."

The white snake listened quietly, listening to the ramblings of the herb pickers. This old man who has worked hard to support his family all his life has not been able to change the poverty of his family. He doesn't understand why he is poor. In the chaotic ancient times, it was very difficult for the vast majority of the population to live a good life. To put it bluntly, being able to live was already a gift from those powerful families.

"It's said that there is a white dragon cultivating here, I know they saw you, and Liu San's mother-in-law also said that you gave him a dream haha~"

Speechless, when have I ever entrusted someone with a dream, besides, I don't have that ability.

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

In the afternoon, the herb pickers left.

White Snake thinks that he may not be alive soon, and Snake Xinzi can smell the smell of dying on his body. Maybe he will be very happy. After death, he can meet his wife and save food for his son's family.

Suddenly want to seize the time to practice, the taste of death is not good, the white snake does not want to die again.

Snakes are yin-loving, and the white snake, who has no cultivation experience, had to find that kind of shady place to breathe out based on the knowledge of the previous life. It just happened to recall the small puddle on the cliff where it swallowed the elixir. , the small puddle is still there, and the small water flow from the cracks in the rocks above converges into a small puddle. The water quality is clear and sweet. The white snake thinks that this must be a good place for cultivation.

Plate into a plate and look up.

In the mountains, a white snake tries hard to absorb the aura of heaven and earth in order not to die...

…………

A few years later.

After the mountain rain, the clouds and mist surge like rivers, and the vast mist rushes and bulges like the Milky Way, rolling over the deep valleys and rolling over the ridges. In the vast sea of ​​clouds, a white snake stands on the boulders on the top of the mountain and floats in the sea of ​​clouds.

After many years of practice, I seized every opportunity to swallow clouds and mist,

Intuitively, it feels right, and the actual effect also satisfies White Snake.

Practice can make a lonely life something to do. Snakes are oviparous creatures. When they break out of their shells, they don’t know who their parents are and they don’t have the habit of recognizing brothers and sisters. Since then, he has been living alone and has never been close to other snakes. He can be regarded as a house snake that has lived in the house for more than 30 years.

After breathing, he descended the mountain with a gust of wind.

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

For some reason, big snakes always ran into the territory and approached him, and he couldn't drive them away. When he was annoyed, he had to use his size advantage to violently throw the big snakes away, but one after another was thrown away endlessly.

There was a big snake in front of it, raised its body and danced, followed wherever it went, bit the snake's head in anger and slammed it away!

It took a long time for the white snake to understand this phenomenon...

The days can't be passed, I was harassed when I slept under the ginkgo tree, and I was harassed when I ran to practice on the mountain.

Another four or five big snakes swam over, but they had no choice but to get away quickly by surpassing the speed of ordinary snakes.

Running to the other side of the mountain, a few more big snakes gathered.

The annoyed White Snake thought it was time to think of a way, looking at the direction Wang Da went in and out of the mountain, he wanted to go out on a whim, to see the human world and see what it was like in ancient times, at least it was a pity for the snake not to experience the ancient times pregnancy.

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

You can go as soon as you say, without much burden on your family, and you don’t have to think about where to eat and where to live. Follow the faint human smell and climb out of the mountain, walking in an S-shape to embark on a new journey.

two days later.

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

For example, under a boulder that can shelter from the rain, there are many traces of bonfires, traces of hacking with a hatchet, and some simple traps. There are basically no large animals in the periphery and there are few animal species. Most of them are pheasants, rabbits, and foxes. There are rats everywhere.

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

The first impression is poor, the second impression is very poor. As the saying goes, poverty jingles, but this place can’t even jingle. There are low and dilapidated thatched houses under the hillside, and there are many rice fields beside the stream in the valley. The old man took a treadmill to irrigate the rice fields, a bony yellow dog ran across the field ridges, and there were not even a few fat mice.

There are more than 20 families, less than 100 people, a small village.

I remember that the herb picker mentioned his son's family, but he didn't know him and couldn't look for it. Forget it, just go back to the mountains after looking around, maybe those big snakes will stop by then.

Thus, White Snake began his voyeuristic career.

Someone in the village noticed an anomaly nearby...

"You say this is really weird. When I came back from the field yesterday, a group of mice ran out of the village as if fleeing with their cubs on their backs. The chickens and ducks didn't return to their nests, and the dogs barked endlessly every day. It's evil."
