do you see the horns on my head

"Come on, child, come on. Send all the food to my mouth." The big snake obviously couldn't wait, and opened its mouth like a door, revealing its scarlet and forked tongue.

"Stop." Before the words finished, Ao Ze suddenly appeared behind Zhenqiao, dragging her and the little boy away from the big snake one by one.The dreamlike expressions on the faces of the two children did not last for a few seconds, they suddenly closed their eyes, and fell on Ao Ze's arms, who gently placed them on the grass.

Heinrich was afraid that Oze would be in danger, so he couldn't wait to fly towards him. Li Jia also came out after Heinrich, looking at the surprisingly big snake warily.

"Xiu, we meet again." A sneer appeared on Ao Ze's face, and he stood leisurely next to Big Snake's mouth, as if chatting with him.

"Unexpectedly, the big snake shrank suddenly, and its huge body splashed water in the channel of Xingzi River.

"You should know that with your current strength, you can't escape." Ao Ze reminded.

"I don't want to run away." Big Snake spoke suddenly.Unexpectedly, his voice was unexpectedly magnetic, like a glass of mellow red wine or a double bass, passing everyone's ears low in the night sky.

"The sound is quite nice." Heinrich commented.

"When did you return to the mortal world?" Ao Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, his complexion was very bad.

"Oh, not so long ago. Ao Ze, don't stare at me like this. It's not my fault." The blue-black snake blinked its yellow lantern-like eyes, and took a deep breath with its two nostrils as big as soybeans. , he made a hissing sound: "I must say that the human world is as beautiful as ever, full of sin, greed and desire... Not to mention, I can still see the half of the body that has been separated for thousands of years."

"You returned to the human world without authorization, do you still think you can be free?" Ao Ze snorted coldly, and a soft white light appeared on the formula in his right hand.

"Ao Ze, Ao Ze, don't think that I can't tell, this is not your original body." The big snake grinned and made a mysterious look: "I can smell that damp, salty smell, Now buried under Dongli Mountain. You are no longer the original you, you are no longer a..."

"Shut up!" A white light flashed, and a bulge the size of an egg appeared on Xiu Xiu's head.

"Hey!" The giant snake was irritated: "Why did you hit me for no reason? Don't you always claim to be righteous, and I haven't done any bad things!"

"Did you do anything bad?" Ao Ze sneered, "Don't forget how half of your body became Baling. And these two children, you want to eat them to restore your strength..."

"Me, eat them? Do you think I would be so stupid?" Xiu laughed wildly, as if he had heard some of the funniest jokes, his sharp teeth glowed coldly under the moonlight, and said to Ao Ze: "You can call The old turtle next to you goes to check and check, what are those two children holding in their hands."

"Don't call me an old turtle." Li Jia's mung bean eyes widened, and his wrinkled face was flushed, but he still knelt down to check.The boy's and Zhenqiao's hands were indeed tightly held. Li Jia opened their little hands, and inside were... four peeled boiled eggs.

"This girl has been feeding me eggs these days, is it also my fault?" Xiu blinked: "Is it my fault that she insisted on letting that boy come to see me too? Ao Ze, It’s not what it used to be, if you want to compete with me, it’s not necessarily who will win.”

Suddenly a whirlwind blew up on the ground, the big snake disappeared, and a man wearing a black loose robe and a blood-red crown suddenly stood in front of Ao Ze.He was as tall as Ao Ze, with long black hair hanging down his waist, and bright yellow eyes that shone brightly under the night sky.He is very good-looking, unlike Ao Ze, his face has a beauty that transcends gender and is indistinguishable from men and women.Some are naughty, and some are frivolous.

He took a step forward, his black robe was slightly opened, revealing his snow-white skin and collarbone.Xiu ignored Ao Ze's black face, put an arm on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Ao Ze, I haven't seen you for so many years, I miss you very much."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Heinrich flew over and shouted.Xiu put down his hands, raised his eyes, and stared at Heinrich with great interest as if he had found something good.

Heinrich's heart trembled, and his white and slender hand stretched out towards him.Xiu half-blinked his eyes, and said in a low and charming tone, "What a wonderful exotic animal. What, your name is Heinrich, isn't it? Come on little guy, come to me, your blood will be my best tonic ..."

Heinrich felt dizzy and flew towards Xiu's hand involuntarily, but before it landed on his hand, Xiu suddenly disappeared.Ao Ze stood very close to where Xiu was just now, and his cold fingertips touched Heinrich's forehead. He suddenly woke up and saw Ao Ze holding Zhenqiao's painting in his hand.

But that painting is very different now, the naive-looking snake in it twisted, the river in the painting swelled instantly, and half of the whole painting turned blue. A voice came from the painting: "Ao Ze! How dare you! Why do you trap me in the painting?"

"Just because you controlled two children to give you food, it caused riots in the human world." Ao Ze said calmly, "You may not know, but now humans have a special organization to manage monsters. The third team of the bureau's operation informed you that you have been arrested."

"Oze!" The pair of lantern-like eyes got bigger, and Heinrich poked the painting curiously, but the touch of this painting was no different from ordinary paintings.

"Ao Ze, for the sake of being both ancient monsters, don't send me into the hands of those ignorant and insignificant humans. I swear I won't do any bad things again. Look, who am I when I come back this time? I haven't hurt you..." Seeing that a tough attitude won't work, Xiu changed his sticky voice and said softly to Ao Ze.

"You must want to know why I returned to the human world—" Seeing Ao Ze's indifferent expression, Xiu changed into that charming tone again: "The enchantment in the human world is not as strong as you imagined. If you let me Freedom, I'll take you to the place where I woke up..."

"Oh, thank you for telling me." Ao Ze pulled Heinrich over involuntarily, cut one of his paws, and dripped a drop of blood on the painting.Seeing that drop of blood instantly spread to the whole body of the snake in the painting, a red light flashed, and then disappeared into nothingness.

"Hey!" Xiu yelled angrily, "Have you lost your mind? You made me a slave to this mutant lizard?"

"His blood can restrain you, can't it?" Ao Ze said leisurely: "Now, tell me where you woke up, and then do one thing for me, and I will set you free and will not send you away. Go to the Spiritual Service."

"Damn, you ask a lot, what's the matter?" Probably knowing that the situation is over, Xiu no longer pretended to be calm, and asked angrily.

Oze ignored him, and put the childish painting on Heinrich's paw, saying: "Then, you are his master, and he will not be able to confuse you from now on. Before you set him free In the past, he had to do whatever he was asked to do."

"But, why and why?" Heinrich asked puzzledly while holding the painting, thinking of the giant snake under the moonlight.

"You will use him in your civil servant practice exam." Ao Ze said, "Otherwise, you will fail the exam."

"Oh." Did Ao Ze have so little confidence in himself?Heinrich replied dejectedly.

"It's not that I don't have confidence in you, but it's always good to have a weapon." Ao Ze said.

"Hey, I'm not a weapon! I'm a living creature! An ancient, noble ancient creature! Hey, is anyone listening to me?" Xiu yelled in the painting, but no one wanted to answer him.

Heinrich flew into Ao Ze's big black schoolbag with the painting in his mouth. Ao Ze and Li Jia sent the unconscious little girl and boy back to the farmhouse, revised their memories, and then called the anxious adults. return.

Zhenqiao told her grandma that she and the little boy ran to the bank of the river to play, and was delayed for a while. It was the grandpa and elder brother over there who found her and remembered to go home, but she was severely beaten by her grandma. .The little boy's parents were also relentless towards the boss, and the courtyard became a mess, but Ao Ze and Li Jia took advantage of the chaos and returned to their room.

After Heinrich fell asleep on the bed with the painting in his arms, Ao Ze went to the next door to find Li Jia.

"You don't need to stay here for long." Ao Ze said to Li Jia: "Tomorrow we will go to Dongli Mountain at dawn to repair the barrier, and you can go back."

"What about you and Heinrich?" Li Jia asked tentatively.

"We're going to see the place where Xiu woke up." Ao Ze said, "If the barrier between the human world and the other three realms is broken, you know what kind of turmoil will happen."

"Then I have to go too." Li Jia said to Ao Ze: "Realist Li Guzi not only asked me to guard the seal of your body, but also asked me to keep the world safe. I can't just stand by. Xi is useless now, that Xiu..." Li Jia showed a look of fear on his face: "I'm afraid he is the legendary snake Xiu, he is a monster that can swallow an elephant, who knows if it is credible. I am old enough to pass, and I can help a little by your side."

Ao Ze pondered for a moment, then said: "If you really have the heart, come tomorrow together. After all, we still need the car you rented."

Li Jia: "..." Did you ask me to stay just for my car? ?
