C2 Blue and White Snake Eating Human Through the Air

In the fall of 1990, when I was six years old and in the first grade of elementary school, I was discussing some games with a few of my friends after school. In the countryside, there were very few people who had televisions, and there were no tyrants or Nintendo children, only games like playing cards, playing glass balls, playing hide and seek, and riding and fighting.

That evening, a few of our little friends were playing hide-and-seek in the patio. Unfortunately, I lost my scissor stone cloth and became a "shadow", searching for them with all my might.

After counting fifty of them, I started to look for them. There were a total of four families living in our patio, and each of them had a canaliculus. Inside the patio, there were water vats and other cooking utensils.

I looked around the small sky well, only to hear faint hissing sounds coming from the south house's canaliculus. Unbeknownst to me, I quietly snuggled against the wall and walked to the outside of the south house's canaliculus.

He saw a small, grayish-green snake with flower spots circling around an inverted water tank, hissing as it spat out a core.

This made me feel very strange. But with the snake in front of me, no matter how bold I was, I couldn't rashly move forward. I could only watch from afar.

After a while, the little blue and white snake turned a few times, and then rushed out of canaliculus at an extremely fast speed, through the gaps between the walls of the Sky Geyser.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead. It was obvious that I was frightened by this Azure Flower Snake. However, after thinking about my companion who was still hiding in the dark, I immediately threw this matter to the back of my mind.

After I found my companions one by one, I realized that Da Kui had disappeared.

Da Kui was the tallest and strongest child among us. Although we were all between the ages of 6 and 7, he had the body of a child in his teens. We have a saying here: Fools grow big.

The children looked around in vain. They gathered together, wondering if this Da Kui had returned home. They came to his house, only to be told that he had not come back.

This time, even his family members were anxious as they searched everywhere.

By the time we got home to the patio, it was already late afternoon. The crescent moon quietly hung on the treetops, and the crickets began to chirp.

A few children were in the middle of a boring break when, from outside the partition wall of the patio, a rustling sound could be heard, followed by a series of hissing sounds.

He had just heard this sound a moment ago. It was the sound of the snake spitting out its core. However, the sound came one after another …

Just as I was hesitating, I saw several long bugs of different sizes dart out from the cracks in the wall. The blue and white snakes were in the first place, followed by the brown ones, yellow and green, and so on. The big ones were as thick as a water pipe, while the small ones were as thick as a thumb.

Just at this time of danger, I heard the sound of a metal door creaking on the outside. I shouted, "Grandfather! There are snakes in the yard! "

A series of hurried footsteps could be heard as his grandfather ran in with a crescent sickle in his hand. He was extremely surprised to see these snakes.

The blue and white snake bore the brunt of the attack and rapidly moved to the front of the rest of us. The core in its mouth hissed even louder and coiled up like a spring.

There was a whistling sound in my ear, and a black shadow, flashing with silver light, hit the eastern wall with a clang, sending sparks and debris flying everywhere.

Puff! The head and tail of the blue and white snake fell to the ground motionlessly. At this time, the parents of the children came one after another. When they saw the snake in the yard, they were all aghast. Some of them even picked up shovels and ploughs to protect the children.

When the other snakes saw that there were more people around, they stopped being greedy and turned their heads to flee through the cracks in the wall, leaving the corpse of the Azure Flower Snake that was split into two halves by the scythe on the ground.

After Da Kui's father asked about what happened, he also started to look for his son in the courtyard. I whispered to my grandfather, "Grandfather, this Azure Flower Snake came by today. It was in the south room, and it was even circling around the water tank." After I finished speaking, I pointed to the water tank inside the Southern Room's canaliculus.

His face was covered with cold sweat, he slowly walked to the Southern Room canaliculus and arrived in front of the water vat. Pushing the bottom of the water vat, he flipped the water vat to the side, and saw that inside the vat, there was actually a skeleton, which was curled up like a tree, from the looks of it, it was Da Kui.

Everyone was stupefied. This frightened all the children present, and they all ran back home crying. It was said that some children had their roots burned, and some were still unconscious.

His grandfather walked up to him and said slowly: "That long worm is probably not some ordinary long bug, it must be a cultivator from this mountain. Looking at its body, it has been cultivating for decades, and it seems that it has been cultivating for decades, and its abilities were formed during that time. It seems that the snake group is also with it, sigh, everyone be careful, watch out for your baby, don't let these animals get away with it."

He shook his head and took me by the hand back to his house.

From the south room, he could hear the loud cries coming from the canaliculus. After a while, he heard the footsteps of the crowd, they must have moved Da Kui's body back home.

I asked my grandfather, "Are there any animals that cultivate in this mountain?"

"Yes, we are one of the places where the Taoism originated. We are the best in the world, and we are also a place where immortals often come from. It is very suitable for cultivation here."

"But then, why do these animals want to harm people?"

"I guess he had no choice but to do so. As for the specifics, even I, your grandfather, do not know."

I saw that my grandfather didn't want to find out the root of the problem, and even more so didn't want to say anything to me, so I didn't ask any more questions.

The cool wind of early autumn was blowing gently, and the crickets were chirping merrily under the influence of the moonlight. The toad was also cooing along with them.

I opened my eyes in a daze and found that there were two rays of red light drifting in and out of the window. My heart skipped a beat and I tried to push my grandfather, but he was already standing under the bed with the light rope in his hand. He snapped on the light and took out a piece of yellow paper from the drawer of the black wooden cabinet.

I looked out the window again, but there was no red light, and I heard a rustling outside the door.

After Grandpa finished drawing the yellow paper, he took out an iron nail. With a flick of his right hand, the yellow paper was firmly nailed to the door.

He only heard his grandfather chant some strange incantations, but before he could finish, the door was smashed open and a white worm as thick as a wrist flew in. In a split-second, it wrapped itself around his grandfather's body, preventing him from moving.

The white snake's body twisted and coiled, becoming tighter and tighter, only to see my grandfather's face becoming redder and redder before turning purple. I was so scared that I peed my pants and hid far away in a corner.

Suddenly, the yellow paper on the door began to burn and glow with a bluish-green light. Suddenly, a white snake flew over and struck the white snake's body. Suddenly, the area where the white snake had been hit was set ablaze.

The white snake cried out in pain and bit down on its grandfather's neck. The flame was still fiercely burning, causing the white snake to sizzle.

The white snake released its grip on its grandfather. It writhed and quickly fled the room, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Grandfather fell onto the ground, panting heavily. He saw that the space between his grandfather's neck had already turned black. He used a weak voice and said, "Grandson, your grandfather's life is in your hands."

My snot was dripping onto the ground as I sobbed, "Grandpa …" Grandfather, I should... "What should I do …"

Grandfather raised his head and looked at the black cabinet that had taken out the yellow paper and said softly, "... That... In the drawer... Yes... "One …" It was obvious that he was having a difficult time speaking. His tongue was a bit big. He swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth and said, "There's one …" Brands... Take that... Brand, go... The mountain is too... Clear Palace... Find the Pure Xuan … Dao Long... He can save … "Me."

After speaking with great difficulty, my grandfather looked at me with eyes full of hope, as though he couldn't speak anymore and could only breathe with difficulty.

I laid my grandfather flat on the ground, put the blanket under his body, got up and went to the black wooden cabinet, rummaged in the drawer, and sure enough, in the drawer on the right, I found a Taiji eight trigrams wooden board wrapped in yellow cloth.

When he brought the wooden tablet in front of his grandfather, he blinked slightly, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

Holding the wooden board, I didn't care much about the late night. I flew out of the door and headed for the Supreme Purity Palace on the mountain.
