Reborn as a Snake: Many Children, Many Blessings, Only I, the Green Snake Immortal

Zhu Gang, the old man from the land, spent a long time explaining.

Xu Qing finally understood the situation.

The Demon Slayer Division lost a group of experts on its side, which was not a big deal.

The real problem is that in several nearby areas, people live in peace and prosperity year after year, and their demon-slaying efforts are always successful.

Doesn't this comparison make the City God of Fengyang and Li Baihu appear derelict in their duties and incompetent?

Regardless of whether it's true or not, once Shangguan finds out, his path to advancement is basically over.

There's a good chance they'll investigate further and punish someone for dereliction of duty.

In order to suppress the matter, they chose to seek help from the Buddhist Xuan Yang Temple.

Xuan Yang Temple, holding this leverage, used it as an opportunity to gather followers along the way, and had no hurry to continue their journey.

"If they don't hurry up and come, aren't they afraid I'll come down the mountain and slaughter this village?" Xu Qing asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gang, the local official, looked directly at Xu Qing for the first time and gently shook his head.

"What are they afraid of?"

"To them, the hundreds of people in Dongshu Village are just hundreds of worthless lives."

"They don't care about slaughtering the people down the mountain; what's more important than the incense money they collect along the way?"

"It's just a few civilians dying; there are plenty of civilians in the world, but these people are different..."

A look of grief and indignation appeared on Zhu Gang's face.

Xu Qing looked at the old man and listened to what he was saying, and suddenly had a feeling.

Although there are extraordinary people in this world who can move mountains and fill seas, possessing the powerful ability to change the world.

But in essence, they are all human beings.

It's not much different from the technological world.

"How much longer until they arrive?" he asked.

Zhu Gang, the land deity, calculated with his fingers: "It will probably take another three days."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing released Zhu Gang from his restraints and turned back into the jungle.

This time, however, Zhu Gang did not rush to escape.

He gazed in the direction Xu Qing had gone, his eyes flickering.

......

I just got back to the Taihang Mountains.

Xu Qing then saw several snake demons waiting respectfully at the foot of the mountain.

Upon seeing Xu Qing, they immediately bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Immediately, the snake demon released the leather bag it was holding in its mouth.

The bag was loosened, revealing the bright red fruits inside.

"Your Majesty, a few trees in the Vermilion Jade Fruit Forest on Xuan Yin Mountain ripened a couple of days ago. We have picked some Vermilion Fruit for Your Majesty to enjoy."

The bag exudes a rich spiritual aura.

The reason why there are so many snake demons in Xuanyin Mountain is because there is a forest of Zhuyu fruit trees, whose fruits can help snakes transform their bloodline.

This is considered a specialty of Xuanyin Mountain.

Xu Qing tasted one and found it to be quite good; the spiritual energy within could even enhance one's cultivation.

"Great, send over more later."

Xu Qing casually unleashed a few bursts of magical power to temper the bodies of the snake demons before him.

The snake demons thanked them profusely and left in high spirits.

Xu Qing put the Vermilion Fruit into his storage ring and distributed the fruits as he climbed up the mountain.

This thing is just a snack for him, but it's useful to the other snake demons.

Their improved strength is also beneficial to the fetus in their womb.

......

Time flies.

three days later.

Xu Qing quietly left the Taihang Mountains and headed towards Dongshu Village.

A moment later.

He stood at the edge of the forest, his golden vertical pupils silently gazing at the distant village.

We waited for more than an hour.

At dawn.

A series of figures appeared on the road outside Dongshu Village.

The leader, dressed in a scarlet kasaya, carrying a nine-ringed staff, with a head scar and a compassionate expression, walked towards Dongshu Village.

It was Xiushan, the abbot of Xuanyang Temple!

He was followed by dozens of monks, all of them strong and full of vitality.

When the villagers saw the monks, they all stopped what they were doing.

Some Buddhists were even more excited and came out to greet him, shouting "Master!"

"Amitabha!"

Xiu Shan smiled, stopped, and took the old woman's hand, saying something to her.

The old woman, her face streaked with tears, soon rushed back into the dilapidated courtyard, rummaging through drawers and cabinets to find the hidden silver.

Xiu Shan smiled and accepted the silver. The young monk beside her took out a string of Buddhist beads and handed it to the old woman.

The other monks also went to the doors of other people's houses.

I don't know what they said.

Before long, many people took out all the money they had at home and handed it to the monk in exchange for a string of prayer beads, a Buddha statue, or a few amulets for peace and protection.

Dongshu Village is mostly inhabited by hunters, and it is very dangerous for men to go into the mountains.

A slight mistake could cost you your life.

Therefore, in order to obtain a protective amulet, almost every household changed some of their belongings.

Some even became believers of Xuanyang Temple on the spot, their expressions devout, chanting "Amitabha" and "May Buddha protect us."

"It's not just about money."

Xu Qing's vertical pupils flashed with light as he used his spiritual eyes to observe everything in the village.

He could see wisps of blue energy constantly emanating from the believers, which gathered into a stream and eventually flowed into the jade bottle in the hand of the leading fat monk.

"Is that the faith, vows, and incense offerings of all sentient beings?"

Xu Qing looked at the busy monks and found their bald heads particularly glaring.

Those bald monks.

I really want to kill them.

A strong killing intent spread through his heart.

Xu Qingqiang suppressed his agitated emotions and slowly retreated into the depths of the jungle.

The fat monk in the lead was quite capable, much stronger than the previous commander.

We cannot hold back in this wave, lest something unexpected happens.

Lure the dog in and then kill it.

Xu Qing closed her eyes and began to wait.

This wait lasted for several more hours.

Dongshu Village.

It wasn't until noon, after confirming that the 'scavenging' was complete, that they finally succeeded.

Only then did the monk Xiushan lead the group into the mountains and forests.

"That demon is very powerful. He must have some tricks up his sleeve to kill Commander Xue and the others. You all need to form the Arhat Demon-Subduing Formation immediately. The Vajra Pestle is the best counter to these evil spirits, and it should severely injure that demon!"

Xiushan gave instructions to his disciples who were with him.

His expression was calm; as a sixth-grade Buddhist practitioner, he was quite confident.

Buddhist practices have many methods that are extremely effective in suppressing evil spirits.

In particular, the magic array formed by the monks is extremely powerful, enough to give a great demon with a thousand years of cultivation a hard time.

"Abbot, rest assured, we have been practicing the formation for decades, and this is the day we have been waiting for."

The monks took out their vajras (penetrating pestles) and were quite excited.

Halfway there.

Xiu Shan sensed the aura and immediately took the lead in changing direction.

Not long after.

The group climbed up a low, rocky hill.

Xiu Shan gazed at the deep pool not far away, his expression turning serious: "That beast is hiding at the bottom of the pool. Be prepared."

The words fell.

"boom!"

A huge column of water erupted from the center of the deep pool, the water swept up into the sky and then fell back down, and a heavy rain began to fall in the forest.

The rain poured down, turning into a curtain of water.

The next instant.

The water curtain was cleaved apart by a long tail, and a howling wind descended upon the rocky mountain!

"You audacious beast!"

The monk Xiushan roared, and his staff burst forth with dazzling Buddhist light!

"when!"

The long tail struck the tin staff, producing a deafening, crisp sound.

"Snap... snap!"

Xiu Shan's face flushed red, his expression changed drastically, and cracks appeared beneath his feet.

immediately.

With a loud "boom".

The rocky mountain collapsed with a deafening roar!
