There are countless snakes entangled in the cave, wriggling around each other. There are at least hundreds of snakes here. Among them, there are nine as thick as a bucket, one of which has the strength of building a foundation and is in a dormant state. The remaining six big snakes, a little breath can be felt, as if they are dead. Except for these big snakes, the other snakes in the snake group are in different conditions, some are sleeping, and some are dead. Those snakes that can wriggle look listless, as if they have not woken up, and their movements are slow and gentle. There are also a lot of white bones piled up below the snake group. Judging from the shape, they should all be dead snakes. Er Gouzi only then realized that he lived under Shekou Mountain and there were so many sleeping snakes. What if one day, a big snake wakes up, climbs to the top of the mountain and swallows him and Yushan. He was a little scared when he thought about it.
He wanted to get closer to see the words on the stone wall, and several big snakes raised their heads and spit their tongues at him. He could temporarily step back a few steps. Those snakes might have just woken up and were lazy. If he asked him to step back, they would 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 a snake demon, the snake still retains this talent, and this talent will become more powerful. When they have no spiritual energy or are seriously injured, they can fall into a deep sleep state, which can reduce the consumption of spiritual energy 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 fall asleep 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 need spiritual medicine and spiritual things to replenish their bodies and promote recovery. But the thief who stole his spiritual medicine should be these snakes. The snakes that woke up in front of him were all equivalent to the initial and middle stages of Qi training, and there was no such thing. The thief should be someone else. Thinking of this, he used his spiritual sense to search carefully nearby, but he 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 gave 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 found the person who really stole the elixir and said to the snakes in front of him. "Come out, don't hide anymore!" There were the sounds of the snakes spitting out their tongues in the cave, but there was no other movement. "You stole my elixir. If you come out again, I will kill you snake." Since the thief wanted to find a way to save these snakes, he would kill a few and see if they would show up again. After he threatened, he waited for a few more breaths, but there was still no movement in the cave. "Do you think I dare?" If it was a group of awakened snakes, he would have escaped long ago, but now most of them are in deep sleep, and they have no strength to wake up. In his eyes, these snakes are just lambs to be slaughtered. As Er Gouzi spoke, an iron thorn seed appeared in his mouth. Recently, iron thorn seeds have gradually matured, and a lot of them have been harvested. But due to the lack of combat opportunities, he has not tried it on other enemies yet, and does not know how powerful it is. A seed was thrown out, and it quickly grew 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 wooden thorns pierced into the snake's body. The snake felt pain, and the snake group rolled and twisted wildly, and the iron thorns also pierced other snakes. Suddenly, the snake group rolled and squirmed wildly, like a pot of boiling water. Several snakes were stimulated and swam towards him with their tongues spitting. Er Gouzi drew a heavy sword from his back and was about to cut it down with one sword. At this time, a small medicinal leaf floated in front of him. Er Gouzi stopped temporarily and looked at the leaf. The leaf floated in front of him, floating up and down continuously, 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 she 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 it many times, and there was no entity around the leaf, and it floated up by itself. He did not know what kind of magical power this was. 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 went through a crack in the door and disappeared. Er Gouzi followed behind him and walked to the door. He put his hands on the door and felt it was cold. He gently scraped the moss on the door and found a whole piece of jade door underneath. The jade was warm and delicate, so it should be worth a lot of money. His spiritual consciousness spread and he found that it was blocked by this door. The jade door could block his spiritual consciousness and penetrate it. He stretched his hands and gently pushed the jade door, pushing it open a two-finger-wide gap. Now the divine sense can drill into the crack of the door. Inside is a stone room, which is made of white jade on all four sides. He did not find any danger, so 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 this, he did not see another figure. The four jade walls were engraved with various runes, which were connected into a whole piece, turning the entire jade room into a cage. Er Gouzi walked slowly in the stone room to check, but did not find any valuable clues. He looked at the dead skeleton and found it a bit strange. The upper body was in the shape of a human, with a head and body, but it changed from the waist down, without legs, and with a tail. The body must have been dead for a long time, and the clothes and flesh on the body had rotted and disappeared. Only the bones were left and began to decay. They broke when touched. "Are you in here? Why did you bring me here?" 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 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 that his master left him. 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 be very huge, and most of his spiritual sense was quickly sucked away.
Fortunately, he now has the seventh level of Qi training, and his consciousness is not as fragile as before. Finally, he saw a video in his consciousness. After leaving a legacy with Baihe Zhenren, this owner of the jade ruler did not seem to intend to pass on any magic. He did not even introduce himself. It only recorded some memory fragments. 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 in it. In his consciousness, he first saw a two-year-old boy crying in the ruins. His mother seemed to have been seen. At this time, a woman with a snake-like body appeared and held the boy in her arms. Seeing this, Er Gouzi guessed that this woman with a head and a tail should be the corpse on the bed. The woman took the little boy home to raise him, and seemed to be quite good to him, raising him to be fat and white. Anyway, the little boy's name is Xu Feng, and he calls 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. Hearing Ji Cang say that the person's name was Xu Feng, he knew that he was the same person as the little boy. The woman took Xu Feng to her side to take care of him. The relationship between the two was like a master and apprentice, like a mother and son, and like a brother and sister. In these images, there are a lot of warm scenes of two people living together. It feels like the contents in the jade ruler are just the beautiful moments of the two people recorded by this woman. Xu Feng started to be taught by the woman 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 the law from beginning to end carefully. This means that he can learn the law with Xu Feng. At the beginning of the teaching, it was some basic Qi training period law and spells. Er Gouzi referred to the law and spells he practiced, and then compared and understood them one by one, and found that he had gained a lot.
He had a master to teach him the law in the basics of his practice, and he did not meet anyone to give detailed instructions in the middle. There were still many deviations in practice and doubts 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 teaching him thoroughly. 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, the contents of refining, refining, making talismans, and array formations are now controlled by the dynasty and ordinary people are not exposed to them. The woman should have lived earlier, 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 ready to build a foundation in his 20s. The woman is relieved and has given him a lot of advice. She has talked about some details and problems that need to be paid attention to in building a foundation several times. Er Gouzi remembers all the things the woman has told him. However, at this time, he had already watched Xu Feng from the age of two to his twenties, and had already watched for most of the day, and his consciousness had been exhausted. He could temporarily withdraw his consciousness from the jade ruler.
