There is a mountain in her arms

It turned out that the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple died of injuries and illness shortly after his defeat.

The Taoist boy practices at the lake every day hoping to avenge his master one day.

Perhaps out of a last bit of compassion, he released all the small animals he had raised.

At that time, the little green snake had already developed intelligence. The Taoist boy had taken care of it since it was young, so it was unwilling to leave and stayed with him every day.

It is said that one day a master passed by there and gave him a few words of advice, which benefited him greatly, so he made a bold decision.

"What decision?"

"He made a deal with that master. He overdrew his future vitality and used a quick method to quickly achieve success in cultivation."

"What's up with that little green snake?"

"In order to help the Taoist boy, it took a powerful elixir that changed its meridians and physique."

"Is there any price to pay?"

"Of course! Everything follows the laws of nature. Breaking the rules like this will definitely come at a price. That is, it will only be able to stop here, and will suffer all day long in the future because of tampering with the veins and tissues."

"Hiss! I didn't expect this green snake to be more loyal and righteous than humans!"

"and after?"

"Later, just like the legend says, the Taoist boy got his revenge, but he was not as happy as he had imagined. When he returned to the Taoist temple with the green snake, the place was already sparsely populated. In order to preserve the last traces of his master, he simply sealed the place off, not wanting anyone to disturb his master's resting place."

"So what's the deal?"

"This is another reason why he came back. The master sealed something under the lake, and he and the green snake acted as guardians to guard the good things until the destined person came to take it away."

"Hasn't he overdrawn his future vitality? How can he still be a guardian?"

"So we have this giant python now. If he and the green snake are gone, the green snake's descendants will continue to guard it."

"So has this giant python lived for many years?"

"How is that possible? The world now has no spiritual energy, so how could there be so many things like what happened to you that go against common sense? It is said that the master is also a pharmacist. He used elixirs to change the green snake into a hermaphrodite. Even the bloodline of its offspring is the same, so it can be guaranteed to be foolproof."

"Then how can we be sure of the destined person? Aren't they closing the mountain to prevent people from setting foot in it?"

"One man, one wolf, and one fox. This is the tip given to them by the master. Otherwise, do you really think that just the two of us, who are so small, can make the giant python so easy to talk to?"

"Eh? Ah Chu, is this God's will or was it arranged in advance?"

Jiang Yicheng pointed his finger upwards and said cryptically.

"It's hard to say! Well, now that we're here, let's get to work! Since things are going so smoothly, there's nothing wrong now."

Ah Chu's eyes flickered and he avoided her question. Jiang Yicheng was also distracted by her words.

"Achu, this lake is so big and I'm not a fish, how can you ask me to find it?"

"Go down! Isn't this ready-made? But you have to go down too, you are the destined one."

"no!"

Jiang Yichen refused without thinking.

"I don't want to stay with it. Go ahead. You are so capable now. Going into the water is no problem for you."

"I can only float on the surface of the water, not dive."

"Then I can't do it, and I don't want to. Well, why don't you ask the giant python if it knows the exact location."

Ah Chu also thought it made sense and turned around to communicate with the giant python that was comfortably living by the water.

"It's not very clear, but it guesses it should be in the center of the lake. Because the water in the lake is not always the same, sometimes when it's dry, this side will be exposed, and it has never found anything strange there. And when the full moon comes, the center of the lake will emit a sparkling blue light in the middle of the night. Because of its ancestral teachings, it has never gone close to it."

"So tricky? It's right in the middle, and today isn't even the 15th!"

"There are still five days left. It's a good opportunity for you to practice diving these few days. I've never seen you go into the water before, so you can try it out!"

Jiang Yicheng felt her scalp tingling instantly, and she felt that this trip was not going to be a good one. At the same time, she was guessing that if the power of water was in the water, then the power of fire might be in the volcanic magma, and the power of gold might be in the gold mine, so wouldn't she have to go mining?

This task is so difficult that she wants to just give up on her life!

Ah Chu seemed to sense her emotions and quickly made plans.

"Be serious! I dare not say anything else now, but I can be sure that if this task can be successfully completed, then the Heaven will definitely give you a huge reward."

"Whatever I catch now is mine. It's useless for you to promise me something. But since you're working so hard, I will try my best."

After hearing this, Ah Chu felt relieved.

Jiang Yichen actually knows how to dive. This is the secret of being the ace of the army in his previous life. He has to be able to fly in the sky and swim in the water. Otherwise, how can he react to unexpected situations?

It’s just that she doesn’t like the mollusks that live in the water. They quietly attach themselves to her body and make people feel creepy.

There is no choice in this situation, I can only go ahead with it.

Five days later, Jiang Yichen and the three uneven creatures were quietly barbecued by the lake.

That’s right! It’s barbecue.

Ever since Jiang Yichen rewarded the little fox with a meal of barbecue, the giant python seemed to have smelled the delicious food and would hunt some small animals from time to time.

Of course, Jiang Yichen disliked the small animals it hunted and couldn't bring himself to kill them, so in the end, after the giant python surrounded and made a noise, Achu would hunt them down.

Of course, after only doing it once, Jiang Yicheng was unwilling to do it again. They were really too scary. Before one was even finished roasting, the next one had already fallen from the sky.

In the end, Jiang Yichen simply gave up and ordered Achu to dig a large earthen stove, put up a barbecue grill that he had bought earlier, and let them catch the fish and grill them themselves.

Jiang Yichen was staring at the setting sun while turning the roasted chicken in his hands. The three of them looked up and down with the roasted chicken.

As for the grilled fish on the side, they said they were tired of eating it these days. How can fish be as delicious as meat?

Time passed and it was soon midnight. Although it was a hot summer day, it was still a bit cool sitting by the lake. Jiang Yichen kept fiddling with the fire.

"The moon will soon be overhead, get ready!"

Ah Chu was highly focused at the moment. Seeing that the full moon was about to rise above his head, he quickly sent a signal to Jiang Yicheng.

"Ok!"

Jiang Yichen quickly stood up and stretched his body. When the moonlight shone on the center of the lake, there was indeed ripples on the calm lake surface, and a faint blue light could be vaguely seen underwater in the center of the ripples.

"It should be there! Hurry! The python said that the noise will only last for a quarter of an hour, otherwise we have to wait until the full moon night of next month."

Without Achu's urging, Jiang Yichen spotted the right spot and dived into the water.

The light was more obvious when viewed from the water. Jiang Yicheng kicked his feet hard and saw more clearly that it seemed to be a breathing shell.

The shell was half open, and inside it was a pearl as big as a baby's fist. The light was emitted by this pearl. The strange thing was that there was a circle of blue floating objects attached to it, which was the blue light they saw above.

Jiang Yicheng popped his head out to take a breath, then dived back down. Time was running out, so Jiang Yicheng dived all the way to the light at the bottom of the lake.

When I looked closer, I saw that the shell seemed to be embedded in a box, so it was not a real shell.

Jiang Yicheng couldn't figure out what the box was. He was just wondering what it was made of. How could it stay in the water for so many years without decaying?

She thought the box would have some weight, otherwise it wouldn't have sunk to the bottom of the lake for so many years, right?

Who knew that she could actually pick it up easily when she reached out. She didn't care about being surprised, she was already having some difficulty breathing, so she quickly kicked out of the water.

When Ah Chu saw the box in Jiang Yicheng's hand, his eyes shone brightly. He knew that Jiang Yicheng would not let him down.

As soon as Jiang Yichen got ashore, he didn't care about Achu and the little fox who were coming over, and went straight into the space.

She needed to take a good bath. Since she had already got the things, there was no need to rush.

The giant python was no longer as surprised as it was at first when it saw Jiang Yichen disappear from the spot. After seeing Jiang Yichen take the things by the lake, it quietly closed its eyes and fell asleep.

The little fox listened to Achu in everything. Seeing it lying down, it also lay down beside it.

When Jiang Yichen came out of the bath and took a nap, he saw Achu looking listless.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Master, have you ever thought that we are still outside?"

"The overlords here are all here. Are you still in any danger?"

"Although, after you took the things, didn't you ever think of letting me see them or saying hello to me? You know I waited until dawn for you to come out."

"Okay! It's my fault. No, it can't be considered my fault. I was soaking wet so of course I had to take a bath, but I just fell asleep because it was so comfortable. Okay, let's take a look at what I took. You said this box is not heavy to hold, and there is nothing to hold it in place, so how could it sink to the bottom of the lake? And I picked it up without any effort. Isn't that strange?"

"So you are the destined one! If someone else had found it, they would definitely not be able to take it away. Apart from anything else, there can't be no fish, shrimp, aquatic plants, etc. in such a big lake. Even the undercurrent under the water could move the box. But why is it fixed there all the time?"

"Yes! Why is that?"

"I have a guess."

"what?"

"It should be that someone with great magical powers calculated that my original world would have this disaster and made arrangements in advance. The Heavenly Dao should have noticed it, so it added fuel to the fire and perfected the plan."

"It's a bit confusing, but I think I understand it a little bit. Forget it, I won't speculate on this. Anyway, it's always good for us if things develop in a good direction. Let's take a look at this box. At first I thought this shell was alive!"

"This is a lost ancient mechanical device, but the pearl is real. Take it if you want it!"

"Haha! At least my work wasn't in vain. I'll be honored if I refuse. I'll sell it when I run out of money. It must be worth a lot of money."

"What a waste! Pearls this big are rare at all times. You can keep them as a family heirloom."

Achu studied the box for a while, then guided Jiang Yichen to open the box step by step.

"Wow! Is this crystal? It's crystal clear and glittering."

"That's not flowing light, it's the sealed power of water. Take me into the space, and I'll send the power of water to the back mountain."

"What about it?"

Jiang Yichen pointed at the giant python. Now that it had completed its mission, it was no longer restricted. It would be bad if it went down the mountain in the future.

"It will continue to live in this forest and will not easily leave the mountain. This is what the master had agreed with its ancestor, the green snake. This will also ensure that its bloodline can continue."

"Then let's go down the mountain! If we stay here any longer, we'll soon become primitive people."

"Ok!"

Walking on the busy street, Jiang Yicheng breathed in the fresh air. Although it was the same sky, why did it feel better outside?

"Huh? Jiang Yicheng, are you here to play too?"

“Liu Wanwan?”

"Jiang Yicheng, I didn't expect that we were so destined to meet. I wanted to get off the car with you at that time. Who knew that you never came back?"

"Eh? I had a stomachache at the time, and when I came out, I was about to arrive at the station, so I didn't go back."

This excuse sounded perfunctory, but Liu Wanwan actually believed it. Hu Yuan had been following closely, and when he heard this, he glanced at Jiang Yicheng.

"Wanwan, run slower, or we'll get separated."

Liu Zhiyue, protecting a girl, squeezed through the crowd with some dissatisfaction, and when he saw Jiang Yichen, he felt that they were destined to be together.

"Jiang Yicheng? So you're here in Leshan too!"

"It's just a coincidence!"

"Wanwan, what is this?"

"Ah! Jiang Yicheng, let me introduce you. This is my classmate, Ji Linshuang. Linshuang, this is Jiang Yicheng whom we met on the train. She is the amazing girl I told you about."

"Hello! Jiang Yicheng, I'm Ji Linshuang, a native of Leshan. If you want to travel here, I can be your guide."

"You are from Leshan, how come you are classmates with Liu Wanwan?"

"Because of my parents' work, I transferred to my grandma's house in my second year of high school."

"I see! Where were you originally planning to go?"

"Qingyang Temple! It is said that this Taoist temple was opened by a Taoist priest from a declining Taoist temple on Shewei Mountain. It is still very popular today, and there are many sculptures of various kinds inside. It is well-known in Leshan."

"Snake Tail Mountain? Great! Then add me in and I'll go with you to visit it."

"Great! Let's go then!"

"Wanwan, please walk slower. There are so many people coming and going here. It's easy to get lost. You won't be able to have fun. You might just spend your time looking for people."

"Yeah, yeah, got it!"

Liu Wanwan made a face, put her arm around Ji Linshuang with her left hand, hooked her arm around Jiang Yichen with her right hand, and walked forward while talking and laughing.

Liu Zhiyue gave Hu Yuan a smile that was three parts sympathy, three parts relief, and four parts flattery.

"Brother, let me make it clear first, this is how she usually looks like. You can't regret it."

"What is poison to you is honey to me!"

Hu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong. Seeing her so full of energy every day, his life also became brighter.
