Chapter 697: It Is Difficult to Distinguish Between Humans and Snakes, Choose
The mountain road is difficult to walk on. When you reach a mountain stream, you will see a green pond that emits cool air. Just approaching, you will feel a chill all over your body. The water vapor gently hits your body, which is very comfortable.
Li Changxiao laid Liu Ju flat on the ground and asked Qing Chunhua to put Qu Xiaochan down as well. Now Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan are unconscious, and they have not had water for several days. Their vital signs are extremely weak.
It just so happens that the water quality of the deep pond here is pure, and because no one has disturbed it for many years, it is hidden between the mountains and absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, and cultivates "water essence". Drinking a sip can eliminate fatigue, nourish the body, and replenish vitality.
Li Changxiao put his hands together, held a pool of water, and gently tilted his palm to let the clear water flow into Liu Ju's mouth. Qing Chunhua followed suit, first drank a sip himself, and then fed Qu Xiaochan to drink. After Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan drank the water, they also slowly turned the letter, but when they opened their mouths to speak, they found that they could not utter a single word.
Li Chang laughed and said, "Try to move." Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan tried to move their hands and feet, but found that their limbs were stiff and they could not feel their existence at all. For a moment, the only eyeball that could move turned left and right, revealing great fear and confusion.
Qing Chunhua felt that she was thirsty. Since she got lost and drank the water in the water bag, she had not finished drinking. After serving Qu Xiaochan, she could not wait to walk to the edge of the pond, and did not need to hold it with her hands, but lowered her head to drink directly. After drinking a few mouthfuls, she felt very comfortable, but suddenly her body stiffened and fell into the water, sinking directly into the depths of the pond. Liu Ju was eager to save his master, but because he could not speak, he could only call out "Yiyaya".
Li Changxiao flicked his hand, and the fish in the pond formed a group, pushing Qing Chunhua in the pond to the shore. Qing Chunhua crawled forward, and when his feet were out of the pond, he lay on the ground and gasped, as if he had experienced life and death.
Just now, Qing Chunhua's symptoms worsened, his limbs were not coordinated, and the shore was slippery, so he fell into the water without paying attention. Coincidentally, the green pond water here absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, nurtures "water spirits", and attracts many filthy things. People who fall into the water will feel that the water here has no power to float up, and will be quickly dragged to the depths until they drown.
Qing Chunhua recovered and had a new understanding of Li Changxiao's magical methods. If it is said that the slapping of Tanaka Tiger and Yunzhonghe that day may be a double act, deliberately setting up a trap to deceive himself. Then today's help from the group of fish is really a miracle again, and there is absolutely no possibility of falsehood.
"Old senior, thank you for your help." Qing Chunhua knelt down and kowtowed, thinking that the person in front of him, who looked young but was actually old, must be a "cultivator". But it was strange. Qing Chunhua had seen quite a few cultivators, but he had never seen anyone with such wonderful means.
Even if a warrior was at the level of a Taoist master, he could only move mountains and seas. But in terms of "wonderfulness", it was far inferior to the help of the group of fish and the slapping of the tiger and crane.
How could Qing Chunhua know that Li Changxiao's palms of heaven and earth, true and false disasters and blessings, destiny, and dreams complemented each other. When he went a few steps deeper in Taoism, he could really move at will and be omnipotent.
Power is far more than killing people and destroying the world.
Li Changxiao said, "What old senior? Your master and I are old friends." He really didn't like the word "old senior". Qing Chunhua was stunned, "Do you know my master?" Li Changxiao said unhappily, "Otherwise, we are dozens of miles apart, why would I save you?"
Qing Chunhua then realized and was extremely embarrassed. On the day at the inn, she saw the other party asking about the master's recent situation, so she preconceived that this person wanted to inquire about the master's news, most likely wanting to harm the master, and thus a misunderstanding occurred.
Now that it is said, everything makes sense. Li Changxiao ignored Qing Chunhua, took out the wine gourd, drank it clean in big gulps, and pressed it into the pond to collect the pond water.
After doing this, he carried Liu Ju on his back and walked towards the Laiqu Inn. Since learning that Li Changxiao was an old friend of the master, Qing Chunhua obviously relaxed a lot, and her words became confused.
Li Changxiao originally wanted to know the news of the old friend from her, and she also talked about it. Li Changxiao knew from Qing Chunhua that her master was undoubtedly Zhang Mo.
After Zhang Mo's trip to Eryuan Sect, he left Dayan Hua Sect and wandered around the world, looking for a breakthrough in martial arts. During this period, he took in many disciples, Qing Chunhua was one of them.
Hearing Qing Chunhua's respect, Li Changxiao sighed softly. Because she was in the jungle, there were always students following her side. Although Qing Chunhua was a little relaxed, she was not very interested in talking.
She only talked about Zhang Mo's affairs casually, and what she really cared about was the current situation. She asked: "Master, where did these ghosts come from?"
Li Changxiao told her that there was another prehistoric world outside Fuyao, and these prehistoric beasts came from there. Li Changxiao frowned suddenly, thinking of something, but temporarily suppressed his heart.
It took about half a day. Finally, they walked out of the northwest area, and walked another four or five miles to get out of this dense forest. But at this time, something strange happened suddenly. Hundreds of human-like snakes could not hold back and emerged from every corner, blocking the four people in front of them.
They had human faces and snake bodies, and their expressions were different. Qing Chunhua pulled Li Changxiao's sleeve and asked, "Master, they are transformed from humans into snakes. Are they humans or snakes? Do they still have consciousness?" She felt extremely creepy when she saw it. If it were an ordinary beast, she would kill it with a sword and there would be no need to feel guilty.
But this human-like snake had a human face, so vivid that it felt disgusting, but it was inevitable that she would be soft-hearted when she attacked.
Li Changxiao said, "It can be regarded as a beast, but it can still be regarded as a human."
Qing Chunhua felt pity in her heart and asked, "What should we do?"
Li Changxiao said calmly, "Of course, we will kill it." As the words fell, a faint murderous intent flowed out, and the group of snakes showed fear, twisting their snakes and quickly fled into the forest.
Li Changxiao slapped the Qingping sword, and the sword flew out of its sheath and flew into the dense forest. After Qing Chunhua learned the truth, she felt complicated, but she saw that Li Changxiao's face was calm, and his steps were very slow, but very steady.
Qing Chunhua was puzzled: "Since he is a human, why is he so decisive when he draws his sword." Although she also felt that the snake-like person was extremely hateful and terrifying, the face of the person was vivid, and the memory was still there, just a different body. It was precisely because of this that she was asked to kill again, and there was always a gap in her heart.
She did not ask, and Li Changxiao knew what she was thinking, but did not answer.
He always chose this way.
