Chapter 122 Human Head and Snake Body

Countless snakes in the cave were entangled and squirming.

There were at least hundreds of snakes here.

Among them, there were nine as thick as a bucket, three of which had the strength to build a foundation and were in a dormant state.

The remaining six snakes could not feel any breath, as if they were dead.

In addition to these snakes, the other snakes in the snake group were in a similar situation, some were sleeping, and some were dead.

Those snakes that could wriggle also looked listless, as if they had not woken up, and their movements were slow and gentle.

Under the snake group, there were also a lot of white bones piled up, and judging from the shape, they should all be dead snakes.

Er Gouzi only then realized that there were so many snakes sleeping under Shekou Mountain where he lived.

What if one day a big snake woke up, climbed to the top of the mountain and swallowed him and Yushan.

Thinking about it made him a little scared.

He wanted to get closer to see the handwriting on the stone wall, and several big snakes raised their heads and spit their tongues at him.

He could only temporarily retreat a few steps.

Those snakes might have just woken up and were all lazy. As long as he retreated, they would not chase him.

Seeing the state of these snakes, Er Gouzi remembered what he had read in a book before.

Ordinary snakes hibernate to save food consumption.

After becoming snake demons, snakes still retain this talent, and this talent will become stronger.

When they have no spiritual energy or are seriously injured, they can fall into a dormant state, which can reduce spiritual energy consumption or allow the body to repair.

Sometimes they can sleep for dozens, hundreds of years, or even longer.

But in this self-protective state, if the injury or the surrounding environment cannot be improved, it is possible to sleep and die directly.

It can be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

Er Gouzi saw those dead snakes, which might be because they had been sleeping for too long.

But there is another problem here. These snakes really need spiritual energy, and they also need spiritual medicine and elixir to replenish their bodies and promote recovery.

But the thief who stole his spiritual medicine should not be these snakes.

The snakes that had awakened in front of him were only at the beginning and middle stages of Qi training, and they didn't have that kind of ability.

The thief should be someone else.

Thinking of this, he used his spiritual sense to search carefully nearby, but still didn't see even a ghost.

However, he saw a lost spiritual medicine in the mouth of a sleeping snake.

Someone stole his spiritual medicine and fed it to the snake to promote its recovery.

"I guess you must be hiding in the dark, can you come out and talk?"

Er Gouzi couldn't find the person who really stole the spiritual medicine, so he said to the group of snakes in front of him.

"Come out, don't hide!"

There was only the sound of the snakes spitting out their tongues in the cave, and there was no other movement.

"You stole my spiritual medicine, if you don't come out, I will kill your snake."

Since the thief wanted to find a way to save these snakes, he would kill a few of them to see if he would show up.

After he threatened, he waited for a few breaths, and there was still no movement in the cave.

"Do you think I don't dare?"

If it was a group of awakened snakes, he would have run away long ago, but now most of them are in deep sleep, and those who have woken up have no strength for the time being.

In his eyes, these snakes are just lambs to be slaughtered.

As Er Gouzi said this, an iron thorn seed appeared in his hand.

Recently, the seeds of iron thorns have matured one after another, and a lot of them have been harvested.

But because there is no chance to fight, it has not been tried on other enemies, and it is unknown how powerful it is.

A seed was thrown out, and it grew rapidly in the air, becoming an iron thorn branch, and then tightly wrapped around a snake.

After the iron thorn branch wrapped around the big snake, the thorns pierced into the snake's body fiercely.

The snake felt pain and rolled and twisted wildly in the snake group, and pierced other snakes with the iron thorns.

Suddenly, the snake group rolled and squirmed wildly, like a pot of boiling water.

A few snakes were stimulated and swam towards him with their tongues spitting.

Er Gouzi drew out his heavy sword from his back and was about to cut it down.

At this time, a small spiritual medicine leaf floated in front of him.

Er Gouzi stopped his hand temporarily and looked at the leaf.

The leaf floated in front of him, constantly floating up and down, as if trying to express something to him.

Seeing that he had stopped, the leaf floated in front of him for a few times, and then flew to a corner of the cave.

Seeing that Er Gouzi did not catch up in time, the leaf stopped and returned to Er Gouzi, and then floated forward again.

It seemed that he wanted to lead him somewhere.

Er Gouzi raised his sword and cut off the iron thorn branches on the snake with one sword, then he opened his mind and followed the leaf.

He had tried many times, and there was no entity around the leaf, and it floated up by itself.

I don’t know what kind of magical power this is.

The leaf led Er Gouzi and continued to walk forward along a very small passage.

After walking a long way forward, there was a door covered with moss in front of him.

The spiritual medicine leaf slipped through a crack in the door and disappeared.

Er Gouzi followed behind, walked to the door, put his hand on the door, and felt it was cold.

Gently scraped the moss on the door and found a whole piece of jade door underneath.

The jade is warm and delicate, and should be worth a lot of money.

The spiritual consciousness spread and found that it was blocked by this door. The jade door can block the spiritual consciousness and cannot penetrate.

He could only reach out and gently push the jade door, pushing the door open a gap of two fingers wide.

Now the divine sense can drill into the crack of the door. There is also a stone room inside, and the four sides are also made of white jade.

Not finding any danger, he pushed the door open.

When he walked into the stone room made of white jade, he first saw a white jade bed with a dead skeleton lying on it.

Apart from that, he did not see another figure.

The four jade walls were engraved with various runes. These runes were connected into a whole piece, turning the entire jade room into a cage.

Er Gouzi walked slowly in this stone room and found no valuable clues.

He also looked at the dead skeleton, which was a bit strange.

The upper body was in the shape of a human, with a head and hands, but it changed from the waist down, without legs, only a tail.

The body should have died a long time ago, and the clothes and flesh on the body had rotted and disappeared.

The remaining bones also began to decay, and they broke when touched by hand.

"Are you in here? What did you bring me here for?"

Er Gouzi asked again.

After a while, the leaf of the spiritual medicine floated in front of him again.

It flew in front of him for a while and landed on a table with a jade ruler on it.

Jade ruler?

Is there any mechanism inside?

Er Gouzi did not rashly reach out to touch it, but instead used his spiritual sense to check it.

But as soon as his spiritual sense touched the jade ruler, he knew that he was wrong again.

This jade ruler is the same as the jade pendant left by his master. There should be a lot of information stored in it.

As soon as his spiritual sense touched it, it was sucked into the jade ruler.

The content inside the jade ruler should also be huge, and most of his spiritual sense was quickly sucked away.

Fortunately, he now has the seventh level of Qi training, and his spiritual sense is not as fragile as before.

Finally, he saw a video in his spiritual sense.

Unlike the inheritance left by Baihe Zhenren, the owner of this jade ruler did not seem to plan to pass on any skills.

There was not even a self-introduction

Only some memory fragments were recorded in it.

Er Gouzi was a little disappointed. He was not so interested in other people's memories and stories.

But since he was here, he might as well take a look, just in case there was important information hidden inside.

In his consciousness, he first saw a little boy of two or three years old, lying in the ruins and crying.

His parents and relatives seemed to have disappeared.

At this time, a woman with a snake-like body and a snake-like tail appeared and held the little boy in her arms.

Looking at this, Er Gouzi guessed that this woman with a snake-like head and a snake-like tail should be the corpse on the bed.

The woman took the little boy home to raise him, and seemed to treat him well, raising him to be white and fat.

Anyway, the little boy's name was Xu Feng, and he called the woman Master.

Seeing the name Xu Feng, Er Gouzi fell into deep thought. He felt as if he had heard it before and had some memory.

After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered it.

Last time, Ji Cang said that he was the second person who dared to ask the royal family to write an IOU.

He also asked who the first person was.

Ji Cang said that the man's name was Xu Feng, and he didn't know if he was the same person as the little boy.

The woman took Xu Feng with her and took care of him. The relationship between the two was like that of a master and apprentice, a mother and son, or a sister and brother.

In these images, there are a lot of warm scenes of the two people's daily life.

It feels like the content in the jade ruler is the woman's way of recording the beautiful moments of the two people.

The woman began to teach Xu Feng to practice when he was five or six years old.

Huh?

In the memory image, there is a detailed process of the woman teaching Xu Feng to practice.

Er Gouzi saw that when the woman taught Xu Feng, she explained a section of exercises from beginning to end carefully.

This means that he can also learn exercises with Xu Feng.

At the beginning, they were just some basic Qi training exercises and spells.

Er Gouzi referred to the exercises and spells he practiced, and then compared them one by one, and found that he also gained a lot.

His practice foundation was only the exercises given by his master, and he did not meet anyone else to give detailed instructions in the middle.

There were still many deviations in practice and confusions in the middle.

It can be barely overcome in a short time, but as the time of cultivation increases and the cultivation level becomes higher and higher, those problems accumulate more and more, but there is no way to solve them.

Now it is equivalent to this woman also teaching him hand in hand.

In addition, the woman also taught Xu Feng a lot of basic knowledge about cultivation.

Many of them are things that Er Gouzi has never heard of before.

For example, alchemy, refining, making talismans, and array formations are now controlled by the dynasty and cannot be accessed by ordinary people.

The woman should have lived in an earlier era, and there may not have been the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time.

Xu Feng seems to have a high talent and is progressing very quickly in cultivation. He is only in his 20s and is ready to build a foundation.

The woman was worried and gave a lot of instructions. She talked about some details and problems that should be paid attention to in building a foundation several times.

Er Gouzi kept all the things the woman told him in mind.

However, at this time, he had been watching Xu Feng from the age of two to more than 20 years old, and he had been watching for most of the day, and his consciousness had been exhausted.

He could only temporarily withdraw his consciousness from the jade ruler.
