After hearing Lin Zichen's words, the Snake King and his son looked at each other, neither of them seemed to understand what he meant.
"Shuang'er? Sir, I don't know this person." Snake King said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hmph, of course you don't know them. How many girls have died in your Jade Snake Sect? They are just refining materials to you, how can you remember their names?" Lin Zichen pointed at the Snake King and shouted angrily.
Having said this, the Snake King seemed to understand something, sighed, lowered his head, and said no more.
"Snake King, how about you promise me three things and I will spare the lives of your father and son?" Lin Zichen asked.
"Don't say three, I will agree to even thirty. Please tell me, sir!" the Snake King said, looking at his son. In fact, at his age, he would really die in the hands of a strong man, and he would die without regrets.
, but he couldn't bear to have his son buried with him.
Lin Zichen nodded: "First, we are not allowed to dominate Biyin Mountain. If your Jade Snake Sect has the strength, you should protect the nearby villages and not ask for any benefits!"
"Okay, I agree!"
"Well, very good. Secondly, you are not allowed to use living people to refine your physique anymore and stop your practice!"
Lin Zichen knew that the Jade Snake Sect's refining method was a side sect that would not only harm one's own constitution, but also hurt innocent lives. This was something he had to prohibit.
"This..." The Snake King showed some embarrassment, "To be honest, sir, everyone in our Jade Snake Sect practices the Yin Snake Technique. If it is not refined with a living person, I am afraid that not only will the strength be unable to increase, but even the life will not be maintained for a long time."
"Hmph, in order to survive, you need other people's lives to assist you. How can there be such a truth in the world?" Lin Zichen said angrily, and then he thought for a while, "In this way, I will teach you a skill, let's not say whether you can do it or not.
It will improve your cultivation level and at least improve your meridians so that you won’t have to practice those crooked techniques after a long time, how about that?”
The Snake King thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, since the gentleman has said so, I agree, what about the third one?"
"The third thing... tonight the Lingpo will take your refining product, that is, the girl with extremely yin constitution, up the mountain. Not only will you not accept it, but you will also ask the Lingpo to remove the ice silkworm Gu from her body!
"
"Ice silkworm Gu?" Snake King asked.
"That's right, this is just for the extremely yin physique you want. The spirit woman used ice silkworm Gu to erode the body of the girl she raised since she was a child. Hmph, your snake king's debt is deep enough."
The Snake King sighed and said: "Sir, what you said is that you will no longer practice the Yin Snake Technique in the future as you said. But, sir, is that woman the Shuang'er you mentioned?"
Speaking of this, Lin Zichen showed a trace of worry and nodded: "Yes, Shuang'er is destined to me, and I must help her. Do you know what to do tonight?"
"Clear, clear, listen to everything sir."
Later, Lin Zichen found out a technique and taught it to the Snake King and Master Snake. After practicing for a while, they felt refreshed, which was not as good as the Yin Snake Technique, but no more.
That self-destructive effect.
"Sir, you are truly an expert. I have practiced martial arts all my life, and I have never seen such a technique that warms and nourishes the meridians. Even if your strength increases slowly, it can prolong your life."
Lin Zichen smiled: "There are thousands of techniques in the world, it depends on how you choose. If you only see evil arts, you won't be interested in so many good techniques. Just take care of yourself in the future!"
"Please follow your instructions!"
After preparing all this, it was already dawn, Lin Zichen decided not to go down the mountain at all, and waited at the Jade Snake Gate for Lingpo to bring Shuang'er up.
In the Witch Village, there were many villagers standing in front of the spiritual altar, and the old man standing at the front was wearing a white animal skin coat and a sheepskin hat, with white hair and a white beard, but his face was glowing red.
.
This is the witchcraft blessing of Wucun.
Lingpo opened the door and saw dozens of villagers standing in front of the door, and Wu Zhu was also there. She couldn't help frowning. She knew that Wu Zhu did not agree with Lingpo taking thirty strong men to the Jade Snake Gate, and now it should be
Came here for this matter.
In Wu Village, Lingpo can decide everything, but the only resistance is Wu Zhu, because although Wu Zhu does not have a high status as Lingpo, he is in charge of village affairs and has a closer relationship with the villagers.
She walked forward slowly, bowed and said, "I have met Wu Zhu. I wonder why Wu Zhu came to my spiritual altar this morning?"
Wu Zhu sighed before he could speak: "Hey, Lingpo, I can't come to the spiritual altar to disturb your spiritual practice today, but the villagers are worried. I heard that you insist on taking thirty men to the jade palace."
Snake Gate?”
Hearing this, Lingpo slowly raised her head: "Yes, this is the order of the Snake King, Wu Zhu, this is an order that we cannot disobey."
"Lingpo, our Wu Village has survived for dozens of generations in Biyin Mountain, much earlier than the Jade Snake Sect. I know the law of the weak and the strong. If you want the protection of the Jade Snake Sect, you may have to obey them.
But now the Jade Snake Sect’s demands are becoming more and more fierce, and they even want our villagers to die. If this is the case, it’s better not to use their protection!”
Wu Zhu's tone was very firm, and he had obviously discussed it with the villagers behind Ling Po's back. Looking at the expressions of Wu Zhu and the villagers, Ling Po seemed to understand this.
"Haha, Wu Zhu, the old woman naturally understands what you mean, but now is not the time for us to resist. You must know that the Snake King is furious. Not to mention you and me, I am afraid that the entire Wu Village will be razed to the ground. Which one is more serious? I think Wu Zhu
I wish I could make up my mind, right?"
"This..." Wu Zhu said with a solemn expression, "But we also have the magic of Wu Village, can't we cooperate with them..."
"Okay, Wu Zhu, stop talking," Ling Po showed a displeased look, "Such disrespectful words towards the Snake King should not come out of Wu Zhu's mouth. I have already decided on this matter. Today I will take Shuang'er and San
Ten men go to the Jade Snake Gate. Today is over. Lord Snake King can protect our Witch Village's eternal peace. This is what we need!"
After saying that, Lingpo threw away her hands and turned around to return to the altar. Wu Zhu could only shake his head and sigh. The villagers on the side also showed sad expressions. They knew that once these thirty men left, they might not come back.
In the evening, regardless of Wu Zhu's objection, Ling Po led Wu Shuang'er and the men from Wucun Village toward the top of the mountain. The people in Wucun Village stood at the door, all looking disappointed. At some point, Wucun Village seemed to have turned into
The village is left to be slaughtered.
The group of people walked up the mountain. Although all the men had reluctant expressions on their faces, and Wu Shuang'er was silent all the way, Lingpo didn't care about this. In her eyes, she only had respect for the Snake King.
Arriving at the gate of the Jade Snake Gate, Ling Po couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? Why is the Jade Snake Gate so wide open today? The gate is usually closed, and even the gatekeepers are arrogant."
Lingpo led people in and found that there were no guards at all today. When she walked into the courtyard, she saw a disciple. Before she could speak, the disciple came forward.
"Ling Po, Master is already waiting for you in the main hall. He has asked you to just take Miss Wu Shuang'er in."
Hearing this, Ling Po was startled. Why are the disciples of the Jade Snake Sect so polite today? And in the past, they had to wait for at least half an hour to see the Snake King. Today, they actually took the initiative to wait for the old woman? Could something have happened?
Lingpo nodded: "Thank you."
Then, she took Wu Shuang'er into the main hall of the Jade Snake Gate.
In the main hall, the Snake King was sitting on the main seat with a dull expression, as if he had lost some of his previous majesty, while the Snake Master beside him was still ugly, and seemed to have some injuries.
Ling Po was wondering, Master Snake was injured? In Biyin Mountain, no one dares to fight him, right? And there seems to be something wrong with the Snake King.
When Wu Shuang'er saw Mr. Snake, her heart tumbled, is this the person I want to marry? Haha, fate, maybe this is my fate.
She turned her head and looked at Ling Po, as if looking for the last glimmer of hope, hoping that Ling Po would change her mind, but Ling Po's face was firm and it seemed impossible to change. She smiled, although it was still sweet, but it was her
The most disappointing smile in my life.
"Snake King, the old woman has brought Shuang'er here."
The Snake King looked at Wu Shuang'er and nodded: "Okay, Ling Po, I want to inform you that all plans have been cancelled."
"What? Cancel..." Ling Po asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Yes, it has been cancelled, including the Juelong Body and the Xuanyin Dragon. After today, I, the Jade Snake Sect, will not ask Wu Village to do anything." The Snake King said in a calm tone.
"Snake King? Why is this? Don't you know how to kill Xuanyin Dragon? Then the protection you promised to Wu Village..."
"Our Jade Snake Sect will still protect the villages in Biyin Mountain, but we will not develop the dragon body by killing the Xuanyin Dragon, nor will we need anyone to become our sect's refined product, do you understand?
"
Lingpo was at a loss. She had been preparing for more than ten years to kill the Xuanyin Dragon for the Snake King, including giving Wu Shuang'er ice silkworm Gu to create a very yin constitution. Everything she did was for the Snake King and for the Wu Shuang'er.
Village, but the snake king suddenly canceled it, which she couldn't accept.
"Snake King, is it because the Xuanyin Dragon's cultivation level has soared that it can't be killed even if it is refined into a dragon body?" Ling Po asked unwillingly.
The Snake King frowned: "You don't need to ask so many questions. What you have to do now is to bring the villagers you brought back to Wu Village, and then remove the ice silkworm Gu from this girl."
"This...how does Lord Snake King know about the ice silkworm Gu on Shuang'er?" Ling Po said with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
"Hmph, my Jade Snake Sect's Gu refining skills are much better than yours in Wu Village. You still want to hide this trick from me?" Snake King said.
In fact, the Snake King did know about this from Lin Zichen's mouth, but because of his status, he was not afraid of Ling Po's suspicion. His status alone was enough to overwhelm him.
The spirit woman sighed: "Hey, Snake King, with the Xuanyin Dragon here, my Biyin Mountain will never have peace. If that beast goes berserk again one day, it will be unfortunate for our Witch Village. Snake King, why don't you give it a try?"
As soon as Ling Po finished speaking, another voice came.
"Haha, I don't think there's any need to try. If you think that Xuanyin Dragon will bring misfortune to Wu Village, then you can rest assured, because it has been killed by me!"
"Lin Zichen?" Wu Shuang'er shouted unexpectedly, as if life was igniting in her heart again.
