Where the wind chimes sound, there is a god

Chapter 20: Kill but not cross
Although he had made up his mind, he did not immediately go up with sword in hand and threaten to enforce justice. Instead, he waited patiently until dark, like a hunting snake that stops for half a day just to find the most appropriate opportunity.

The sun was setting in the sky, and the forest was plunged into darkness.

Yuan Ze gradually approached and followed behind Chen Beimo. She was much bolder than in the daytime. It was probably because the sun was at its brightest during the day and it could suppress evil spirits. In addition, the popularity of the people in the cave made the century-old snake dare not get close.

This is the legendary saying that people are three parts afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven parts afraid of people. The spirit of courage and bravery is the most important. If you lose your courage and bravery, evil spirits and ghosts will approach you.

Therefore, most of the ghosts and monsters seen by humans do not jump out directly, but first hide themselves to create a negative energy field to scare people out of their fears, and then show up when people are most afraid.

Chen Beimo stared for an entire afternoon and calculated that at least thirty people had gone in and out of the cave, and there were even more people in the cave.

Two fists cannot defeat four legs, let alone one against dozens of people. Chen Beimo did not rush in recklessly, but asked Beichen Jun to put snake venom into the water in the evening while the group of people were fetching water for cooking. Its venom has never been the most deadly, but it is definitely the most pathogenic.

Even though it has been diluted a lot, Beichen Jun is not an ordinary snake. I think it is enough to make the people in the cave have stomachaches, headaches and fevers, or paralysis all over the body, thus weakening their fighting ability as much as possible.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

Late at night, people would go out of the cave to relieve themselves from time to time. One of them was a thin-faced dark-skinned man who was unbuckling his belt. After he was done relieving himself, he shook himself and closed his eyes as he recalled the increasingly unpleasant scenes of having sex with the girls in the cave. A gust of night wind blew over him and he couldn't help but shiver. He cursed in a low voice, "It's almost May in this broken mountain and it's still cold at night."

He was about to tie his belt when he heard a rustling sound of grass leaves colliding in the bushes beside him. He thought it was a wild rabbit from somewhere and said with a smile, "I'll give you a snack tomorrow. I'll catch you."

The man hadn't finished his words when he suddenly felt his lower body tighten. Then, he felt an extremely horrible pain that made him scream out in pain. He hurriedly used his hands to dig out the thing that was biting his lower body.

The screams alarmed the people inside, and many of them ran out at once, some of them rushing out with torches or swords in their hands.

When everyone arrived, they saw one of their accomplices lying on the ground with a painful look on his face, pulling a long snake with his hands. He wanted to throw the snake away but was afraid to pull it hard.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the snake had bitten his lower body and refused to let go. If it was pulled off forcibly, his lower body would be gone.

The leader in the cave not only did not help immediately, but laughed and said, "You little beast, you are so reluctant to part with that thing. If you don't let the snake venom enter your body, you will die!"

"Hahaha…"

"Hahahaha, you bastard, let's see how you can show off that thing!"

Everyone who came out of the cave started laughing. Everyone had a smile on their face, but in the corners of their eyes there was cruelty and pleasure.

Just at this moment, a gust of night wind blew, startling many birds, who flew up with strange cries and flapping their wings. Black crows rose up in the night, and their strange cries startled the mountains and forests.

The scarred burly man in the lead said coldly: "What kind of creature is this that wants to take advantage of us at night? Be careful."

Everyone became alert, and those who came out empty-handed went back into the cave to get swords and dragged seven or eight half-naked women and tied their hands with ropes.

A few days ago, a big bear attacked the cave in the middle of the night, so they took the two women and threw them out, and the black bear left.

"ssssssssssssssssss..."

There were many chilling noises coming from the bushes, and someone with sharp eyes shouted, "Snakes! So many snakes!"

I saw long snakes crawling out of the bushes, gray-brown pit vipers, triangular-headed venomous snakes, huge water pythons, and the emerald green bamboo pit vipers in the forest...

Nearly a hundred snakes were spitting out their tongues, raising their heads and staring at the living person at the entrance of the cave.

"Fuck him, where did all these beasts come from!"

A slender man with a narrow face couldn't help but curse.

The scarred man said coldly: "Throw these women out!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Immediately, a man threw the three terrified women to the entrance of the cave, tied their hands and feet, pushed them to the ground, and rolled them towards the group of snakes outside.

Then the scarred man clasped his hands together and said, "I am Gao Ben, the deputy leader of the Tianxue Sect, stationed here. If I have offended any immortals, please forgive me. These women will serve as an apology!"

No one responded to him, and the group of snakes spontaneously crawled towards the three terrified and struggling women. At this moment, a clear voice was heard.

"Get out!"

Hearing the sound, the snakes made way for a path. In the darkness, a handsome young man holding a flute walked out. His tight-fitting clothes made his face look even more handsome. One could tell at first sight that he was an extraordinary person.

"May I ask your name? Where are you from?"

The scarred man Gao Ben said cautiously.

To be the deputy leader of a sect, he must have some skills. Even if his body is mixed with blood, he is still a first-rate master. Although he is far inferior to the Taoist Qinghua, a first-rate master in the world can fight against a hundred cavalrymen in the chaotic era of Fengguo.

The Hundred Riders refer to elite soldiers riding on fine horses and wearing heavy armor. In the Western Jin Dynasty, top-notch experts were also people who were worthy of being treated with courtesy by local officials.

"My name is Yuling, and I am a snake official."

Of course Chen Beimo would not use his real name, so he made up a half-human, half-neither-human name to scare people.

"Yuling?"

"Snake officer?"

"Why haven't you heard of this person?"

"Shut up!" Gao Ben shouted, stopping his subordinates from making disorderly noise.

At this time, the three women, covered in wounds, crawled to Chen Beimo and begged weakly, "Snake Officer, please save us!"

The women crawling on the ground have disheveled hair and dirty faces. They are the miserable people in the chaotic dynasty country across the mountain. They are innocent people who extend a hand for help from hell.

Chen Beimo couldn't help but say in a gentle voice: "When the suffering is over, God will come to save you. Don't worry."

"What do you want to do?" Gao Ben sneered after hearing this: "Now everyone in Feng country is in danger, there is no place to bury the dead, and everyone can be eaten. Is saving these women merciful?"

Chen Beimo raised his eyes and looked at the people in the cave, and said: "Even if you don't have the power to save people, you can't be the one who wields a knife and helps the murderer.

Put down your sword, and you may live!"

At the end of his speech, there was no warmth in his eyes, and he looked at everyone with his flute in front of him.

"You are not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the strong wind. Even if you know some tricks to control insects and snakes, you are no match for us." Gao Ben replied calmly, "If you retreat now, my Tianxue Sect can still handle it as if nothing happened tonight!"

"Tuk..."

An unpleasant flute sound suddenly sounded, and everyone looked and found that it came from the young man. They couldn't help laughing and mockingly said, "This is worse than the barking of my cats and dogs. It's so unpleasant that it's scary!"

"Hahaha…"

Everyone laughed wildly. They were all devil cultists who killed people without blinking an eye, murderers who risked their lives in the pit of the dead. The human energy and blood on their bodies were so strong that they could subdue ordinary monsters. They were definitely not small soldiers.

Gao Ben looked at the young man coldly and said, "Whoever cuts off that boy's head for me will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, a woman and good farmland!"

"I'll go!"

"I come!"

"Let me go!" "Protector, you come." Gao Ben pointed at a young man standing with a sword in his arms.

The guardian immediately turned over and used the force to leap a few feet high. The sword in his hand flashed, and the sword sang in the sky like a dragon, swooping down towards the person playing the flute.

Chen Beimo remained unmoved and continued to play the flute. In the darkness behind him, a shadow suddenly rose from his right rear. The strong wind it brought blew the boy's long hair. A black python as thick as a millstone suddenly jumped out and bit the guardian of the demon sect who was rushing towards him.

The scales on its body were as hard as steel, and no matter how hard the guardian struggled with his sword, he could not pierce them at all. Instead, he was bitten by the giant python and his body was crushed from the waist, blood splattered all over the ground, and his body was cut in two.

The black python became even more ferocious. It raised its head and spit out its tongue at the moon. Its cold and ruthless vertical snake pupils swept around. Everyone trembled and their courage was broken.

At this moment, another gray-brown water python as big as an adult's body twisted its body and crawled out from the darkness. Then the snake's head turned strangely and turned into a beautiful girl's face, with a human head and a snake body, which was even more terrifying in the dark night.

"Monster...monster!"

"Snake...Snake demon!"

Everyone was stunned and stammered, calling it a monster, but Gao Ben did not panic. He roared loudly and his fierce eyes temporarily intimidated the crowd.

Different from the shock brought by the black python, the fear caused to everyone by Yuan Ze simply standing there and transforming into a human head was far greater than that caused by Beichen Jun.

That's a monster! A true inhuman race. No matter how big the black python is, it's just a strange beast. But a monster is truly a being that is scarier than a ghost in the eyes of humans.

A snake demon serves on the left, a strange beast stands on the right, and hundreds of snakes surround his body. Is this person a human?

"You are too bold to associate with demons. Aren't you afraid of being bitten back by the demons?" Gao Ben narrowed his eyes, not daring to look directly at the two big snakes.

"Demons are not as cruel as human hearts, so why should we be afraid?"

Chen Beimo stopped playing the flute. He had summoned all the snakes around him. He held the bamboo flute in one hand and smiled at the deputy leader. "I am a snake official, but I never said I was a human."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt that the temperature around them had dropped by several degrees. How much human flesh had the monster eaten, how many elixirs had it swallowed, and how many years had it lived to be able to completely transform into a human form?

"You..." Gao Ben's body softened noticeably when he heard this and he couldn't continue.

Chen Beimo looked up at the moonlight, his smile faded, and he said in a cold voice:

"Kill, leave no one behind!"

After saying this, the hand holding the flute waved his arm, and all the snakes obeyed his order and came out of the cave.

Beichen Jun was the first to rush forward. He was invulnerable to swords and knives. He turned around and swept towards many people. Ordinary believers were crushed to the ground before they could dodge.

Among them, there were more than a dozen martial arts masters, and three or four second-rate masters holding weapons to guard against the little snake. However, they were slightly poisoned and could not exert much of their internal strength.

Yuan Ze swung his snake tail and knocked them down with his demonic power. Then he casually picked up a person with his tail and held him in front of him. The girl smiled with her bright and charming face and opened her mouth to the man who was shouting for mercy with a terrified face.

A strange suction force pulled the man's head up like a ball, and a heart-wrenching scream rang out, stimulating everyone's uneasy heart.

In just a moment, the man's face became dry and he turned into a mummy.

A satisfied smile appeared on Yuan Ze's face, as if he had eaten something delicious, and he looked greedily at other people.

Seeing the snake demon sucking people, no one had the will to resist anymore and they all ran out of the cave in all directions, hoping to escape with their lives.

Yuan Ze looked at the delicious human being. For the first time, she felt greedy and wanted to devour more human blood.

Chen Beimo did not stop him. To spare these vicious criminals would be cruel to their lives.

On the path of cultivation, we must not only have guardians, but also something to deter. Mere kindness will only indulge evildoers, and only extreme terror can deter these people.

So tonight, he would only kill the evildoers but not save them.

After seeing this scene, Gao Ben didn't want to stay any longer, and immediately threw more than a dozen darts from his sleeves towards Chen Beimo. At the same time, he jumped up and prepared to escape by climbing over the eaves or walls.

Chen Beimo used his palm to release the Kanshui Qi to instantly shatter the dart. Then he took out the golden bell from his waist and shook it lightly. A golden sound wave rippled out, and he chanted:

"I drank from the jade cup and dreamed of a yellow millet. The dream lasted for thirty years. Where can I escape? Where can I go? The gods and Buddhas in the sky will not forgive me. The evil ghost of death is here to claim my life!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound waves made everyone drunk. Gao Ben, who had already climbed up the rock, rolled his eyes when he heard these words, and his legs went weak and fell to the ground. With a confused and repentant look in his eyes, he grabbed his own neck with one hand and twisted it hard, and he died.

The snakes ran rampant and crawled into the cave. Chen Beimo followed them into this long purgatory on earth. Several villains hiding in the dark were bitten to death by the snakes one by one, leaving only eight or nine terrified women and three or four girls.

The cave was in a mess. A woman's leg was hanging above a big pot, and white bones were piled on the ground.

When the women saw the snakes entering the cave, their eyes were dull and they looked as lifeless as the corpses of rotting wood.

The scars on their bodies are the result of the crimes committed by these evildoers.

Chen Beimo shook the golden bell, but this time he did not use the Kanshui Qi. The crisp sound of the bell rang in the cave, and a warm voice came to the ears of the numb and desperate women.

"You are freed."

A woman came to her senses after hearing this and looked at the empty cave. She was not afraid of the snakes at all and stumbled out of the cave. She saw corpses all over the ground. She was not afraid, but walked out of the cave like crazy. When she saw the sky again, she laughed and shouted crazily, "Dead, all dead! Hahahaha, they are all dead!"

The group of snakes slowly retreated. Beichen Jun watched this scene indifferently and turned back to his original form, following his master. Yuanze also entered the cave without knowing his emotions.

The three women who were rescued outside the cave ran back into the cave, knelt down in front of Chen Beimo and kowtowed excitedly, saying, "Thank you, Great Immortal Snake Official, for saving our lives!"

As their voices rang out, the remaining women belatedly realized what had happened. They were stunned at first, and then their dried tears surged again, and their heart-wrenching cries echoed in the cave.

Yuan Ze asked in confusion: "What...are they...doing?"

Chen Beimo sighed, “Human emotions are sad.

I felt sad and cried.

Survived a great disaster, happy.

I cried with joy. "

"Can I...eat...them?"

Yuan Ze didn't understand, but looked at the women and asked.

"No."

Chen Beimo did not blame her. A snake's thinking is different from that of a human. They are two different species, so naturally he cannot treat her as a human.

Then he began to teach: "The evil ones should be driven away, the seriously evil ones can be killed or eaten, the sad ones should be protected, and the good ones should be followed.

From now on, when you practice in the lake, if you meet someone, follow this instruction.

Remember? "

Yuan Ze looked at the blood in front of her that seduced her but she couldn't eat it. For the first time, she felt disappointed and unwilling, but she cared more about Chen Beimo's words and nodded: "Yes, sir!"

At the beginning of life, no matter good or evil, we all need to be taught. This is true for humans and monsters alike!
