Chapter 40: Snake and Demon Pill

You can't be too slow, otherwise I will die of old age if I haven't been scared to death!

The ugly ghost said that the closer you get to the array eye, the faster the air loss. When I took the wrong path just now, the feeling of weakness was not so obvious. It seems that it should be not far from the array eye. I have already walked here, so I must not look back, so I can only grit my teeth and walk forward quickly! I hope this nightmare can end as soon as possible!

As the saying goes, blessings come unparalleled, misfortunes never come in singularity, and I don’t know what happened, the flashlight suddenly darkened, as if it was insufficient power!

This is really a scam! No matter how awesome the Yin-Yang Qi Gathering Array is, it is impossible to suck the electricity away. It must have been forgotten to charge it before! You know, this cave is so dark that if it really runs out of electricity, I can't even find the way back!

After trotting for about ten minutes, I was so tired that I was out of breath and was soaked all over, as if I had just taken a shower!

The flashlight became even darker. I trembled and picked up the small mirror and found that my hair was half white and wrinkles appeared on my face. I changed from a young man to an old man in just three hours. No one believed this kind of thing, but it really happened to me!

The air loss speed is faster, which shows that I am getting closer and closer to the array eye.

Taking a deep breath, I continued to walk forward.

Fortunately, the emperor paid off. After walking for about twenty minutes, he finally came to the end! The end was a spacious place like a hall, about fifteen meters long and fifteen meters wide, and there seemed to be something in the center. But at this time the flashlight was very dim and could not be seen clearly, so he could only walk forward and observe.

After seeing that thing clearly, I almost threw away the flashlight! It turned out to be a monster!

It was a lectern, with an adult's legs as thick as an adult, and four wings on its back. The wings were made of thin film, similar to bats!

This is...snakes! I know this kind of monster! Because I like "Shan Hai Jing", I remember it very clearly that there is a record about the snake: it looks like a snake with four wings, and its sound is like a chime. If you see it, it will have a severe drought. In other words, this is a snake with wings. Wherever it appears, disasters will occur.

But isn’t “Shan Hai Jing” a mythological book?

Fortunately, the snake did not move, as if it was hibernating! But now it is autumn, winter sleep! Could it be dead? I mustered up the courage and reached out and touched it gently, but as soon as my finger touched the snake, its body turned into powder and scattered dust and smoke! Only a crystal emitting milky white light was left floating in the air, slowly rotating!

This is the thing in the body of the snake, it seems to be the eye of the formation! I quickly grabbed the crystal, threw it on the ground, and slashed it with an axe! The ugly ghost said that as long as the eye of the formation is destroyed, the formation will stop and my anger will not be lost again! But when the axe goes down, I am so shocked that my arms are numb, but the crystal is unscathed!

I'm almost sucked to death! Stop playing with me anymore, okay?

But this crystal is too strong and cannot be destroyed at all, so I can only take it out for the ugly ghost to deal with it...

………………………………………

An hour later, I finally returned to the bottom of the crack, but I had no strength to climb the rope anymore. Fortunately, there were too many people on it, and the villagers pulled me up. As soon as I got on it, Tong Zhuyu handed over a bowl of soup and said, "This is made of Polygonum multiflorum. A great hero, drink it quickly."

The fellow villagers also praised: "The young man is so amazing, heroes are young!"

I drank a bowl of hot soup and felt a lot more comfortable, and then asked, "What a great hero?"

"The Yin-Yang Qi Gathering Array has stopped. You are not a hero, who is a hero?" Tong Zhuyu asked back with a strange face.

I shook my head, said the following things, then took out the small crystal and said, "It's this thing that can't be broken even with an axe!"

The ugly ghost showed a solemn expression: "It turned out to be a demon pill?"

"What is the demon pill?" I asked curiously.

The ugly ghost explained: "All things have spirits between heaven and earth. Some animals are gifted and will absorb the energy of heaven and earth as soon as they are born and condense into pills. This kind of animal has a long lifespan and is extremely intelligent. The energy of heaven and earth will also condense into crystals in its body. The demon pill is the essence of the monster's whole body."

I nodded and continued to ask, "But how could this demon pill become an eye of the formation?"

"I don't know, it should be a coincidence. As you said just now, the corpse of the snake turned into powder as soon as it touched. It should be that the demon pill in the body accidentally activated the "Yin and Yang Qi Gathering Array" and lost control. Even the snake itself was absorbed and angry. Fortunately, the entire Feng Shui array was invalid when you moved the position. Moreover, this demon pill is also a treasure, so you put it away first."

"This thing is not harmful to me, right?"

"No." said the ugly ghost: "Before, it turned into an array eye, and it would 'gather'. At this time, it was just a pure energy body, harmless and useless to you. As for why it was said to be useless, because you can't use the energy in the demon pill. Even so, it is also a rare treasure, and may come in handy in the future."

I thought about it and put the crystal emitting milky white light into my pocket. After all, I bought it for my life, and I also contributed a lot of Polygonum multiflorum to restore my fellow villagers' anger, so I deservedly accepted this thing!

But then again, there is not much left in Polygonum multiflorum. When it was first dug out, it was 20 cm long! It was as thick as a wrist! It was divided into half for the fox demon, and then I ate a little more myself, then for Tong Zhuyu and a fellow villager. At this time, there were about four centimeters left, and a part of it was left for Xue Yuanliang's mother. After all, the information about Polygonum multiflorum was provided by Xue Yuanliang.

By this calculation, the fellow villagers ate 6 cm Polygonum multiflorum! But they only received a half-thumb-sized demon pill!

Although I feel a little bit of a loss, I have saved so many lives. Looking at their simple and grateful eyes, I feel warm in my heart. What is more important than life?

………………………………………

Three days later, I left the village.

Since the "Yin and Yang Qi Gathering Array" has been destroyed and the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum helps the villagers recover from their anger, they all returned to their youth, and the oldest of them are only in their early forties. Since they will no longer accelerate their aging, they still choose to stay in the small village and prepare to rebuild!

Although I really wanted to help them, I had to leave, after all, I had to go back to school.

My anger has recovered these days and has changed back to my original appearance.

Before leaving, Tong Zhuyu gave me three treasures.

The first one is a talisman, which is said to be a high-end product that the ugly ghost used when he was young and deserved its name!

The second sword is an ancient book, the legendary "Qimen Dunjia"!

The third one is copper coins, six copper coins. The last time Tong Zhuyu used copper coins to trap zombies, I was very yearning for it, so she took the initiative to give these things!

At this time, Tong Zhuyu said: "You can take this book "Qimen Dunjia" back to comprehend it first. If you have enough understanding, you can learn the trick I used in two years..."

………………………………………

When I got home, I was already exhausted and dumb. My mother asked me why I left for two weeks and whether I still need my studies?

I could only comfort her and said, "It's okay, I will definitely get a good score for you in this final exam!"

My mother asked: "Is it second to last or third to last?"

I almost vomited blood and replied, "It's definitely not the countdown, don't worry."

"You are the only one, Xuan." My mother said disbelief and said, "By the way, a female classmate named Jiang Yunsheng in your class called and said she had an urgent matter and had called you several times. Have you gotten along with someone? How is that female classmate?

"Mom, you misunderstood. We are just classmates, and it is impossible for her to look for me, so I don't have to pay attention to it..."

At night, I separated the four centimeters of Polygonum multiflorum, left one centimeter of it, and gave three centimeters to Xue Yuanliang's mother.

Xue Yuanliang's ghost expressed his gratitude. He had his wish and was ready to reincarnate...

And I returned to normal life, running and practicing sword every morning. Since today is on duty by the 'Fifth Brother', I said while practicing sword: "Fifth Brother, you have to do me a favor."

“What’s the busy thing?”

"I know you are knowledgeable and talented. This final exam will help you cheat. At least I will get thirty and make my mother happy."

The fifth brother refused directly and said, "This is not possible! We martial artists are down-to-earth, so how can we cheat? If you don't help, you will not help, unless you inherit my mantle and learn the magical skills of iron crotch..."
