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

The underworld official couldn't help but shudder, a sense of dread washing over him as he looked at the statue.

This seems rather unbelievable.

It's just a simple statue carved by an ordinary person, yet it evokes this feeling!

Somewhat skeptical, he stepped into the ancestral hall, ready to take a closer look.

however.

The underworld official had just stepped halfway across the threshold of the ancestral hall.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the ancestral hall.

"roar!"

In the darkness, a roar echoed in the ears of the underworld messengers.

The statue seemed to come alive, and a gaze that filled the underworld official with fear fell upon him.

A subtle sense of oppression descended, making it difficult for the underworld officials to breathe.

A look of horror surfaced deep in his eyes.

It was just a statue, yet it almost caused his soul to become unstable!

This snake demon has become quite powerful!

The underworld official was terrified and turned to run away.

He rushed out of Jiangning Village as fast as he could, and just as he was about to dive into the ground, his body suddenly froze!

A powerful binding force descended, freezing him in place.

"Who goes there! How dare you attack the underworld officials!"

The underworld official turned his head, paused, his face turned deathly pale, and he could no longer utter a word.

In the distant jungle, a pair of indifferent golden eyes were quietly watching him.

A dark light shone in his vertical pupils.

The owner of the vertical pupils used his supernatural powers to directly capture the underworld messengers and drag them into the jungle.

The underworld official nearly fainted from fright when he saw the enormous creature before him.

He immediately realized what was happening, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed vigorously.

"Snake King, I meant no offense, please spare my life!"

The underworld messengers were mostly minor officials in government offices in their previous lives. They were tactful and never hesitated to admit defeat when necessary.

Xu Qing's eyes were calm, but a dark light shone in them.

The underworld messenger had no chance to react; he was thrown into the air and plunged into the gaping maw.

A series of memories then appeared before Xu Qing's eyes.

He didn't want to waste words with a lowly underworld official, so he decided to just swallow it and look through its memories.

This underworld messenger was named Zhao Yong, and in his previous life he was a minor official in the government.

Before his death, he bribed his superiors to secure a position at the City God Temple, allowing him to avoid reincarnation and continue his official duties.

A series of images unfolded before Xu Qing's eyes.

Not long after.

Xu Qing then figured out Zhao Yong's purpose in coming here.

Have you discovered any issues with the incense offerings in these villages?

"That City God of Fengyang has learned his lesson; he knows to investigate first..."

The giant blue snake murmured to itself.

"And the White Lotus Holy Sect is also restless; they seem to die if they don't rebel."

Xu Qing turned and returned to the jungle.

As the mountain god worshipped by the villagers, Xu Qing has a special connection with his own statue.

therefore.

When Zhao Yong stepped into the ancestral hall, he had a premonition.

He happened to be inspecting his territory, so he came over to check on the situation.

As a result, they ran into Zhao Yong, who was preparing to run away.

Its massive body moved swiftly along the edge of the jungle.

Xu Qing concealed his aura and used his Earth Listening Technique, so that no sound within a radius of more than ten miles could escape his ears.

......

the other side.

One after another, underworld messengers returned to the Fengyang City God Temple.

Fragmented pieces of information were presented to the underworld officials.

The City God of Fengyang's expression gradually turned solemn.

His expression darkened even more when news of the mountain god's miraculous appearance spread.

That snake demon was indeed collecting incense offerings!

This has crossed their bottom line!

We must find a way to resolve this matter.

"Gentlemen, what good ideas do you have?" asked the City God of Fengyang.

The officials below fell silent.

What good solutions are there?

We caused them trouble twice before, and the result was heavy losses, with many people dying.

Especially the second time, the bald men from Xuanyang Temple came to block the door, demanding an explanation.

It took a lot of persuasion from them to finally convince the group of bald men to go back.

What can we do now?

If we gather forces from all sides and attack their doorstep, will we still be able to capture those demons from the White Lotus Sect?

"The total population of those villages is only around ten thousand, which is nothing. Maybe... we should just forget about it?"

A judge spoke cautiously.

The faces of the underworld officials grew increasingly grim.

A sense of humiliation welled up inside me.

When has their City God Temple ever suffered such humiliation? In the past, when they encountered anyone daring to gather incense offerings without permission, they would simply send people to take them away.

This approach is simply not working now; the snake demon is too powerful, and they are no match for it on their own.

The only way is to find help.

Reporting to the state government is the worst possible course of action.

Just when it was time to capture the White Lotus Sect heretics, a wild god who gathered incense offerings appeared in Fengyang. Wasn't this just making things difficult for Shangguan?

Will there be any good consequences in the future?

"Does Your Excellency remember the River God of the Jingyue River?"

Just then, a captain spoke up.

The City God of Fengyang's eyes lit up.

"The River Goddess of the Pure Moon River was already a fifth-rank official many years ago, and we have some connections with her. If we can get her to take action, the matter will surely be resolved!" the captain continued.

Immediately, the other underworld officials nodded in agreement.

"That's right! Although the River God of the Jingyue River is not under our jurisdiction, as a river god appointed by the Fengxian Division, he is considered our colleague!"

"That makes sense. It's said that the River Goddess of Jingyue has a great fondness for jewelry. If we send her a few boxes, we're sure to get her to part with them!"

"If that still doesn't work, we'll give her some incense offerings next year!"

"That snake demon has only a thousand years of cultivation; wouldn't the Jingyue River God be able to easily defeat it?"

The coldness on the City God of Fengyang's face slowly dissipated, and he smiled, nodding and saying, "What you all say is absolutely right. Quickly prepare some jewels, and I will set off immediately!"

......

Jingyue River.

As one of the tributaries of the Dongjiang River, the Jingyue River runs through Fengyang County, and many villages are built along its banks.

Many people depend on the Jingyue River for their livelihood, so naturally there is a tradition of worshipping the river god.

The Jingyue River God was officially appointed by the Great Qian Dynasty and is a legitimate water god, who can openly collect incense offerings from the people living along the riverbank.

at this time.

Inside a cave at the bottom of the river, inlaid with a luminous pearl.

A girl with large eyes, delicate features, and a slightly youthful appearance, with long hair braided at the back of her head, looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and was looking at the City God of Fengyang with a wary expression.

"Huang Yushu, what are you doing here?" A hint of wariness flashed in the girl's eyes.

"Jingyue River God, we've been neighbors for a while, so I've come to pay my respects and brought some small gifts."

Huang Yushu, the City God of Fengyang, had a broad smile on his face.

With that, he waved his hand, and the large box behind him opened, revealing it filled with all sorts of jewels.

The girl's big eyes immediately brightened, but then a deep sense of vigilance welled up in her heart.

This Huang Yushu fellow has a fat head and big ears, and a lewd smile. He's obviously up to no good!

Although I love jewelry, I'm not stupid!

With her two long braids swaying slightly, the girl asked warily, "Just say what you have to say. I still need to go and play with the children on the shore."

Huang Yushu's smile widened, and he began to recount his origins.
