"Brother Feiyun, I just heard you say that you want to investigate the Langshan snake monster?" Li Ling picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.
"Well, ever since the Ten Thousand Years Snake Demon emerged from Langshan, the news that the Ten Thousand Years Snake Monster is the master of the Wan Dao Clan has spread like wildfire, but I firmly believe that someone must have framed our Wan Dao Clan." Fei Yun punched
Hit it on the table.
Li Ling could understand the feeling of being framed.
"It seems that you are very loyal to Wandaomen." Li Ling said.
"The Master of Wandao Clan is my adoptive father. He raised me since I was a child. Even if I am a cold-blooded person, I still understand that the kindness of raising me is greater than heaven." Fei Yun actually said so much to Li Ling.
Li Ling smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter with the runes on your face?"
"I don't know. I have runes on my face since I was a child. According to my adoptive father, this is my birthmark." Fei Yun touched his face and said.
Li Ling didn't think so about a natural birthmark. Li Ling was an alchemist and knew that the runes were obviously marks caused by taking a slow poison. However, Li Ling couldn't bear to tell Fei Yun.
"It's getting late, I'm going to Langshan." Feiyun stood up and prepared to go out.
The three gossips just now shrank their heads and stepped aside when they saw Fei Yun getting up.
Feiyun snorted coldly and walked out of the inn.
Li Ling picked up the pot of wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp. The ten thousand-year-old snake demon in Langshan actually aroused Li Ling's interest.
"Waiter... check out." Li Ling took out a piece of fairy silver and got up and left the inn. The fairy city was particularly bright at night, and the lights were brightly lit outside. There were many people playing outside.
Li Ling walked into the crowd and came to an old man in front of a stall and said, "Old man, how to get to Langshan?"
"Langshan! Little brother, why are you going to Langshan so late at night?" the old man said in surprise.
"I heard that a thousand-year-old snake demon appears in Langshan at night, so I wanted to take a look." Li Ling said with a smile.
"Little brother, I advise you not to go to Langshan Mountain at night. The ten-thousand-year-old snake demon is extremely ferocious. Anyone who passes by Langshan Mountain at night will have their essence swallowed for no reason." The old man said in a hoarse voice.
"Could someone deliberately spread rumors?" Li Ling asked.
"This is definitely not a rumor. The idea that there is a ten thousand-year-old snake demon in Langshan has been circulating for decades, and over the past few decades, the idea of a snake demon has become more and more mysterious," the old man said.
"Since it's so evil, hasn't anyone gone to Langshan to investigate before?" Li Ling asked strangely.
"Yes...why not? Every year, people go to Langshan to find out what's going on? But most of the people who go don't come back," the old man said.
Li Ling touched his chin and began to think.
"Then when did the suspicion that the Langshan Ten Thousand Years Snake Demon be the master of the Wan Dao Sect begin?" Li Ling asked.
"This... came from a year ago," the old man said.
"A year ago? Then there was no doubt that the Ten Thousand Years Snake Demon was the master of the Wan Dao Sect. Why did it have to be a year ago?" Li Ling asked.
"Um...young man, what do you want to do when you ask so many questions?" The old man felt that Li Ling was too curious, and he became wary.
"Nothing, just curious." Li Ling smiled.
"If you're just curious, don't ask anymore. Curiosity killed the cat." The old man waved his hands repeatedly.
"Old man, just tell me. If you tell me, I will buy everything in your stall." Li Ling pointed to the gold and silver jewelry in the stall.
When the old man saw Li Ling holding an ingot of fairy gold in his hand, his eyes suddenly flashed with gold, and he laughed and said, "Little brother, you are really curious."
"Then old man, please satisfy my curiosity." Li Ling said with a slight smile.
"Hey... it's like this. Last year, a loose immortal miraculously came back alive from Langshan. When he came back, he said that the ten thousand-year-old snake demon in Langshan was transformed by the master of Wandao Sect. After that,
Because the snake venom in his body took effect, he died that day." The old man said simply.
Li Ling frowned, nodded slightly and said, "Then why does this person want to go to Langshan?"
"I heard that I went to Langshan to collect fairy fruits," the old man said.
"Since we know that there is a ten-thousand-year-old snake demon in Langshan, why do we still go to pick fairy fruits?" Li Lingyue felt strange.
"Hey... I only know so much. It's best to ask the dead man your questions." The old man said with a slight sigh.
"It seems there is no proof." Li Ling frowned.
After leaving Fairy City, Li Ling decided to go to Langshan. Langshan was five hundred miles away. With Li Ling's flying speed, it would take at least half a day to fly there. It would be the morning of the next day when he arrived at Langshan.
Outside Langshan Mountain, there is a huge mountain range. There are also many rivers in the mountain range. At first glance, it seems that there are virgin forests everywhere.
After Li Ling arrived at Langshan, it was the morning of the next day. The vegetation in the Langshan area was very dense. In this area, it seemed that it was really easy for some thousand-year snake demons, ten thousand-year snake demons, etc. to be born. It was not surprising at all.
, just the landscape and environment here can raise a bunch of monsters.
According to the fairy world, fairy energy is very abundant. Generally, a demon that has been around for a hundred years can transform into a semi-human form. A demon that has been around for a thousand years can transform into a human form. An old demon that has been around for ten thousand years can be completely transformed into a human form.
of a human form.
Even if a ten-thousand-year-old snake demon were standing in front of you, you probably wouldn't be able to recognize who it was.
Li Ling fell from a high altitude and saw a woman washing clothes by the river. Li Ling was surprised, so he went down to chat with the woman. The woman was wearing white clothes and her hair was shawl. When Li Ling came closer and patted the woman on the shoulder, the woman
Looking back, Li Ling was so frightened that half of his heart jumped out of his chest.
This woman is like a white-bone demon, half of her face is covered with bones, and only half of her face is intact.
When the white-bone demon saw Li Ling, he showed a ferocious look and immediately pounced on Li Ling, preparing to bite the living person.
Li Ling took out the Fire Cloud Mirror and summoned a burst of flames, instantly turning the bone demon into ashes.
"It seems to be a hundred-year-old white-bone demon." Li Ling patted his beating heart, feeling that he would indeed encounter something unexpected in this barren mountain.
"Why are you here too?" Fei Yun patted Li Ling's shoulder from behind. Li Ling suddenly turned around and saw Fei Yun. Only then did Li Ling calm down his nervousness a little and said with a smile: "Let me take a look."
"What's there to see? Langshan Mountain is very dangerous. Nothing happens. I advise you to leave as soon as possible." Fei Yun looked persuasive.
"You're already here, why are you leaving? I'm going to meet that ten-thousand-year-old snake demon." Li Ling said with a smile.
"Your brain must be broken." Feiyun sighed slightly.
"Just think that I have lost my mind, but I am here to investigate the truth, which is good for you. From a certain theoretical point of view, we are on the same front," Li Ling said.
"I don't know if we are on the same front, but I warn you not to interfere with me." Fei Yun said.
"Don't worry. I won't disturb you. When you came here last night, did you see the ten-thousand-year-old snake demon?" Li Ling asked.
"No!" Fei Yun shook his head.
"That's strange, did you arrive here at night?" Li Ling asked.
"Yes, but it's already early in the morning, so the ten-thousand-year-old snake demon must have returned to its lair," Fei Yun said.
"Do you know the lair of the ten thousand year old snake demon?" Li Ling asked.
"I don't know, it's still under investigation." Feiyun said with a slight sigh.
"Hey, then if you work with me, you can find the lair of the ten thousand year old snake demon." Li Ling said with a smile.
"Why?" Fei Yun frowned and looked at Li Ling.
"Because I know how to calculate. I know how to calculate." Li Ling said.
"You are not the only one who knows how to calculate the secrets of heaven, I can also do it." Fei Yun shook his head and smiled.
"Does it mean that even if the secrets of heaven can't find the ten-thousand-year-old snake demon?" Li Ling frowned.
"I tried it. It didn't work." Fei Yun shook his head.
Li Ling didn't believe it, so he opened the secrets and searched for it himself. He really couldn't find any breath of snake demons around him. There seemed to be no snake demons at all within a radius of a hundred miles.
"Stop searching. The ten-thousand-year-old snake demon can not only transform into a human form, but can also hide the demon's aura. After the snake demon has transformed into a human form, you may not be able to recognize it when it stands in front of you, let alone using the secrets of heaven." Fei
Cloud Road.
"So awesome." Li Ling said.
"Well, so we have to wait until night and wait for the ten-thousand-year-old snake demon to show up. Otherwise, no one will be able to find that guy." Fei Yun said.
As night fell, the two of them sat around a fire in the huge Wolf Mountain.
"Here, this is grilled fish, don't you want to try it." Li Ling grilled ten fishes in total and handed one to Fei Yun.
"I won't eat it." Feiyun flatly refused.
Li Ling shook his head and sighed, then brought the grilled fish to his mouth, blew on it, and started eating: "Well, I didn't expect that the fish in the river is so tender and tastes so good. You really don't want to eat it?
"
"Don't eat." Feiyun sat there like a statue.
"Brother Feiyun, it is important to find out the truth, but we cannot go hungry." Li Ling said with a smile.
"We cultivators don't know what it means to be hungry." What Fei Yun said is indeed the truth.
Of course, Li Ling didn't know what hunger was, but Li Ling felt that everything he ate tasted delicious. He said he wasn't hungry, but Li Ling couldn't feel full no matter how much he ate. He said he was hungry, but he didn't feel that hungry.
.
"Be alert, the ten-thousand-year-old snake demon is about to appear." Fei Yun's eyes kept moving, scanning around.
Li Ling put down the grilled fish he had just eaten and paid close attention to the movements around him.
There was some rustling movement in the grass behind the two of them.
Fei Yun held a dagger in his hand. The dagger seemed to be only an inch long, but the sharpness on it made it definitely not an ordinary weapon.
Li Ling was always vigilant and had the Fire Cloud Mirror ready.
After the rustling, a rabbit emerged from the grass. Sweat suddenly broke out on the foreheads of the two of them. Feiyun sighed and put the dagger back and relaxed.
Li Ling's pupils suddenly shrank, he grabbed Feiyun and shouted: "Quickly leave."
Feiyun also felt a very fishy and salty smell behind his back, and immediately stood up and retreated. A fierce dagger shot out, and with a flash of white light, the dagger was swallowed by a huge bloody mouth.
Li Ling grabbed Fei Yun and flew up into the sky. What looked like a huge black snake with black scales all over its body was below.
The black snake straightened up, exuding black poisonous gas, and instantly transformed into a human form.
"Is this the ten-thousand-year-old snake demon?" Li Ling looked at the man in black clothes in surprise.
Feiyun was completely stunned and murmured: "Master."
Feiyun's words immediately surprised Li Ling. Could it be that the black snake below is really Feiyun's adoptive father and master?
"Who asked you to come, my good disciple?" The eyes of the man in black clothes were full of a strong sinister aura.
"Master, are you really a ten thousand year old snake demon?" Fei Yun said in disbelief.
"I'm standing right in front of you, can't you recognize me?" the man in black clothes said sinisterly.
"How is this possible?" Fei Yun still couldn't believe it.
Li Ling was also completely confused. Could it be that the old man didn't lie? Is this ten thousand year old snake demon really the master of Wan Dao Clan?
"Impossible? The master is a kind person, how could he be a snake demon? It's absolutely impossible." Fei Yun shook his head and shouted.
"Haha...kindness. I am originally an extremely evil person, and kindness is just my coat." The man in black sneered sinisterly.
"Then... why did you adopt me? If you are an evil person, why did you adopt me as an orphan?" Fei Yun yelled.
"Because of your physique. Your physique is my only carrier of snake venom. With you, I can store all the snake venom in your body. In that case, no one in Wan Dao Sect will suspect that I am a snake demon.
." The man in black clothes laughed secretly.
Li Ling felt that there was something fishy about this.
"Snake venom is stored in the human body. Then, wouldn't everyone be suspicious of Fei Yun, and Fei Yun would become a monster?" Li Ling said doubtfully.
Feiyun clenched his hands and became angry.
"It turns out that I was not born a monster." Fei Yun's veins popped out: "It turns out that you have been using me all along."
Li Ling was even more surprised now. I dare say that Feiyun has the reputation of being a monster and has been in the Ten Thousand Blades Sect for half his life. This Feiyun is simply taking a huge blame.
"Haha, who said your physique can carry my poisonous body? When I adopted you, I found that your physique is a body of all poisons and can withstand all poisons. From that time on, I became evil.
Heart." The man in black clothes said.
"But, there is one thing I don't understand. As a snake demon, how could the Ten Thousand Blades Sect allow you to be the sect leader? I mean, before I was there." Fei Yun said doubtfully.
"That's because the real master of Wan Dao Sect was devoured by me, and I replaced him, transformed into his body, and took charge of Wan Dao Sect." The man in black clothes said with a sinister smile.
"Despicable." Fei Yun said angrily.
"Shameless." Li Ling continued.
"Aren't you afraid that Wandaomen will know your identity and kill you?" Fei Yun frowned.
"Who would have known that my ten thousand-year-old snake demon can finally cultivate to the point where I can hide all the demonic poisons. From now on, I will be the leader of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect." The man in black clothes laughed wildly.
"Broken one finger, that's how he got his name." Li Ling said teasingly.
"Snake demon, you have caused me to bear the title of half-demon for thirty years and suffer all kinds of looks. Today I want to take it all back from you." Fei Yun whipped out a long black whip from the palm of his hand.
The long black whip could be extended infinitely. Li Ling knew at the first glance that the long whip was a magic weapon.
"Ink whip! Haha, this magic weapon is still a good disciple I gave you." The man in black clothes laughed wildly.
"Today, I will use this whip to kill you to avenge my years of humiliation." Fei Yun trembled the black whip like a snake and wrapped it around the man in black.
The man in black clothes smiled coldly, and instantly transformed into a 100-meter black python, got out of the gap of the whip, and bit Fei Yun in the air.
"I will swallow your essence today. Your use value has come to an end." The ten thousand year snake demon opened its huge mouth, exposed its cold fangs, and bit Feiyun directly.
When Li Ling saw this, he immediately took out the Fire Cloud Mirror and summoned a fire phoenix. With a low cry, the fire phoenix blocked Fei Yun and the Wannian Snake Demon, separating them. Li Ling took the opportunity to
He picked up Feiyun and ran away in a hurry.
The Ten Thousand Years Snake Demon roared and started to fight with the Fire Phoenix. It was unable to break through the Fire Phoenix's attack for a while, but the Fire Phoenix could not do anything to the Ten Thousand Years Snake Demon.
After Li Ling rescued Feiyun, Feiyun still wanted to fight the ten-thousand-year-old snake demon.
"Don't go, you will die if you go." Li Ling grabbed Feiyun and said.
"Is this the end of it?" Fei Yun said angrily.
"You go. Are you sure of winning?" Li Ling asked.
"No." Feiyun said bluntly.
"Since there is none, what's the point of going?" Li Ling said.
"I can't be angry anymore," Fei Yun said.
"Hey, calm down first. Now that you know the secret of the ten-thousand-year-old snake demon, you have already grasped the handle of that guy. The only thing you have to do now is to go back to Wandaomen to find out the secret of the ten-thousand-year-old snake demon.
Uncover it," Li Ling said.
Fei Yun was in a daze, shook his head and sighed bitterly: "It's useless, my reputation in the Ten Thousand Blades Sect is very bad, no one will believe me. Moreover, since I was a child, I have always been burdened with the reputation of being a half-demon.
No one will believe me."
Li Ling also found this quite tricky.
"Then we'd better leave quickly. The ten-thousand-year-old snake demon won't let you and me go. That guy will definitely catch up and kill you and me," Li Ling said.
"By the way. Why do you want to help me?" Fei Yun said.
"I got involved in some unnecessary disputes out of curiosity. I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself. You thought the Ten Thousand Years Snake Demon would let me go, but I know his secret." Li Ling sighed.
"But even if you know, it's useless? No one in Wandaomen will believe it, because the impression he left on Wandaomen was so good." Feiyun didn't believe it at all before, so he came to Langshan.
"Go back to Fairy City and find that old man." Li Ling suddenly thought of that old man.
"Looking for the old man?" Fei Yun said strangely.
"Well, the old man should know the source of the news." Li Ling said.
"What kind of old man?" Feiyun said.
"An old man running a stall." Li Ling said.
Back in Fairy City, Li Ling went to the street again. But the old man on the street seemed to be gone.
Li Ling searched the entire fairy city but couldn't find any sign of the old man.
"Brother, where is the old man who often sets up a stall here?" Li Ling asked a fortune telling guy next to him.
"He... stopped working here yesterday. He probably moved." The fortune teller said.
"Where did they move to?" Li Ling asked.
"I don't know." said the fortune teller.
Li Ling vaguely felt that something inappropriate was about to happen.
Sure enough, Li Ling saw the figure of the man in black clothes in the fairy city, the figure of the thousand-year-old snake demon who had transformed.
"Oops, that guy was one step ahead of us." Li Ling said secretly.
Feiyun asked in confusion: "Why do we have to keep an eye on an old man?"
"I don't have time to explain to you." Li Ling quickly answered Fei Yun's question, and then continued to ask the fortune teller: "Do you know where the old man's home is?"
The fortune teller held out his hand.
Li Ling took out a piece of fairy silver and placed it in the hand of the fortune teller.
The fortune teller put it in his mouth and bit it, then pointed forward and said, "It's at the corner ahead."
Li Ling picked up Fei Yun and quickly headed towards the corner. Li Ling knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door. Li Ling vaguely felt that something bad had happened, so he kicked it open.
Open the door and enter the room. Suddenly, the old man is lying on the table and has expired. Moreover, his whole body is purple and black, obviously he has been poisoned.
"It seems that the clues have been broken here." Li Ling sat down on the bed dejectedly.
Just when Li Ling thought the clue was gone, Feiyun discovered a note clutched in the old man's palm.
"Here is a piece of paper." Fei Yun opened the old man's hand and took out the piece of paper.
Li Ling snatched the note and unfolded it. It read: "Fifty miles north of the fairy city, layman Tianyuan of the Swallow House in Peach Blossom Forest."
Li Ling took the note, smiled slightly, and said, "Things have turned around."
"Where is the turning point?" Feiyun asked in surprise.
"It's on the body of the layman Tianyuan of Yanziwu in Peach Blossom Forest." Li Ling said.
"Then should we go find him now?" Fei Yun said.
"The Ten Thousand Years Snake Demon must be nearby, and his purpose is to follow you and me to find Layman Tianyuan." Li Ling said.
"Who is this layman Tianyuan?" Fei Yun asked strangely.
"The person who knows the truth is also an important figure in the Ten Thousand Blades Sect." Li Ling guessed.
"Why do I feel that what you said is true?" Feiyun said in surprise.
"Guessed." Li Ling smiled.
"Then it's even more strange. Why didn't the snake demon take away the note?" Fei Yun said, finding something suspicious.
"This note was taken out by the old man after he died." Li Ling said.
"After death?" Fei Yun was even more surprised: "How could a dead person take out the note?"
"Dead people can't do it, but half-dead people can still do it," Li Ling said.
"Who are you? The old man took a breath and held the note in his hand, waiting for someone to discover this?" Fei Yun said incredulously.
"Well... the old man is waiting for me to come back, because he knows that a very curious person will not let go of any clues." Li Ling said. (To be continued...)
