What bad thoughts can a little snake have?

The spring sun is just right, and the apricot blossoms are blooming softly.

Xue Qing was lazily leaning on the chair in front of the window, bathed in the warm sunlight pouring in from the window, feeling warm all over, and felt that the laziness in his whole body was about to slip out of his bones.

In such a fine weather, it is natural to do nothing and just sleep in the sun.

Xue Qing thought so.

He woke up after a good night's sleep yesterday, but he always felt like he didn't get enough sleep.

The scene in the dream was a bit blurry, but one sentence was still engraved in my heart.

That is "to repay the favor".

According to the ghost judge, it seems that there will be serious consequences if he does not repay his kindness.

Enter the animal realm, and pay off debts life after life.

So Xue Qing decided...

Decided to lie down in another position.

He owed so much, and he didn't know how to pay it back.

So let's talk about it when the time comes.

Let's have a good experience of such a good spring.

Xue Bai gave him a high-grade Transformation Pill, allowing him to successfully transform into a form and facilitate his actions.

It’s just that the inner mansion is still empty, Xue Qing tried to refine the aura according to the usual practice method, but the body seems to be a pipe with openings at both ends, and the demon power that has just been successfully refined is like quicksand, and it slowly passes away without leaving a trace , as if it never appeared.

Now that he has no demon power, he is no different from an ordinary mortal in his transformed form.

He told his sister what happened that night, but he concealed the part after he was picked up by A Le. Xue Qing still subconsciously didn't want his sister to know about his relationship with Lingyin Temple.

After hearing what Xue Qing said, Xue Bai only reassured him that these matters should be dealt with by her, telling Xue Qing that the most important thing for him now is to rest and take good care of his body.

But Xue Qing himself didn't feel that there was anything special about his body that needed recuperation, except for the empty inner palace and the non-functioning demon core, he felt much better after a good night's sleep.

Nothing else seemed wrong.

In the warm sunlight, Xue Qing closed her eyes comfortably. The light green skirt had a radiance of its own, and the fair skin was coated with a layer of soft light by the sunlight. The texture of the skin seemed to be shining through , with a sense of unreality.

Now leaning lazily in front of the window, it looks like a fairy has fallen into the mortal world, making people think that he has strayed into the Penglai fairyland by mistake, fearing that he will disturb the lost fairy and escape.

It is estimated that the cold spring has not subsided, and he seems to be more afraid of the cold than usual.

The voice outside the window suddenly became noisy.

Xue Qing looked around.

Several people came out of the inn, and they all walked in one direction.

The shop waiter downstairs shouted: "The harmful snake demon has been caught! He is about to be executed in the city!"

The murderous snake demon was caught?

Xue Qing's first reaction when he heard the news was that the Black Snake had been caught, but after a second thought, the Black Snake's monster power is so profound, it stands to reason that he would not be caught so easily again.

Or is there another demon caught this time?

But thinking that Fa Hai, who came to catch the demon, should be stronger than the Black Snake, so it is not impossible that the one who was caught was the Black Snake.

Xue Qing overturned his previous deduction again, and prepared to take a look by himself.

Xue Bai didn't refuse his request, but just wanted to go with him and told him to put on the veil and hat.

Putting on the veiled hat enough to cover the whole face carefully, Xue Qing pulled Xue Bai up and went out together.

Today's Qiantang City is obviously busier than before, no matter men, women or children, everyone is bustling and bustling in the same direction.

Even the hawkers on the street closed their stalls for the time being, rushing to see this rare scene of collecting monsters.

Along the way, there were even more discussions and chatter and discussions.

When we arrived at the scene, there were already many people surrounded, three floors inside and three floors outside.

Xue Qing, who was wearing a veiled hat, dragged Xue Bai all the way and rushed into the front row.

He could faintly hear the whispers of being left behind.

"Why is the girl's family so fierce now!?"

"It's so fierce, it's probably someone who can't find her husband's family..."

Surrounded in the middle is a huge round platform one step higher, which is usually used as a place where criminals are beheaded after parading in public, but now it is a little different.

At this time, what was bound to the body was not a human being, but a demon.

The chains that bind the demon are probably not ordinary chains, maybe they are fairy artifacts, binding the demon so tightly that it cannot move.

The demon looked no different from ordinary people, if it wasn't for his strangely red eyes, he wouldn't be a demon.

It's not a black snake.

Xue Qing carefully identified it and confirmed that this demon is not a black snake.

Could it be that there are other monsters who kill people in Qiantang City?

"It is indeed a snake demon, but its cultivation level is not very high." Xue Bai whispered in his ear, "Look at those eyes, it must be another evil cultivator."

Another evil cultivator.

The civilians who watched the excitement around them couldn't stop talking about it.

"You don't know how many people that demon killed!"

"I see that the butcher's lady has been crying for several nights because her husband was killed by a demon, and she is almost blind from crying."

"Fortunately, there are holy monks from Lingyin Temple."

"That's right, if it weren't for Master Fahai, this monster would not know how long it would have been raging."

"Fahai? Didn't you know that this demon was surrendered by Nian Ci, who is now in charge of Lingyin Temple's affairs?"

"Didn't you say that it was Master Fa Hai who came to subdue the demons?"

One of them, Monk Zhang Er, was puzzled.

At this time, a person beside him interjected: "Yes, it was sent by Master Nianci. He is indeed the future abbot of Lingyin Temple. With his protection, my Qiantang can be safe."

His eyes were full of admiration for this master Nianci.

The man was still a little puzzled, "Why did you suddenly change?"

But no one answered him, because the demon-subduing ceremony was about to begin.

Everyone watched everything on the stage with bated breath.

In the eyes, a monk in a red cassock slowly walked to the stage.

Step by step is like stepping on a cloud.

His face was not as outstanding as Fa Hai's, but the monk's compassionate appearance was second to none.

It seems that they are here to save all living beings in Qiantang City.

Seeing Nian Ci coming out, the people around him didn't dare to make a sound, they were frightened by this eminent monk.

Unlike Fahai, who is used to pinching Buddhist beads, Nianci holds a nine-ringed Buddhist staff. As he walks, the bottom of the Buddhist staff hits the hard stone platform with a sound, like a solemn bell.

"This snake demon has been a disaster for Qiantang City for a long time!"

"Now the poor monk Nianci replaces Lingyin Temple, come here to kill the demons!"

As soon as the sonorous voice fell, there was an unstoppable burst of cheers from below.

Looking at the admiration in the eyes of the people, listening to their cheering voices, Nian Ci's face remained unchanged, still showing compassion.

"Snake demon, if you are willing to do good, the poor monk is willing to spare your life."

Nian Chi recited Buddhist Chan, looking at the fetter who was bound and unable to move, his eyes were full of pity.

As soon as they heard Nian Ci's words, the people below immediately became anxious and raised their voices one after another.

"Master Nianci, don't be soft-hearted."

"This monster has killed so many people, we must let him pay for it!"

"Yes, Master!"

……

The monster on the stage didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but raised a pair of blood-red eyes and stared at it with hatred.

Now that Xue Qing has lost his demon power, he can't see any way to do it, only Xue Bai beside him frowned slightly, leaning closer to Xue Qing and whispering: "This demon's tongue... has been pulled out."

The tongue was pulled out! ?

It's just that merciful and merciful look, maybe...he didn't know that this monster couldn't speak at the moment?

Nian Ci on the stage sighed, both real and fake, "Since you have no remorse and you have taken so many lives, the poor monk has no choice but to send you to die with your own hands."

"I only hope that the next life will have a heart of kindness."

Nian Ci's spiritual power is not as pure gold as Fa Hai's, but it is a little more white.

Slowly condensing the fingertips, he punched the magic formula into the demon's body.

Following the entry of the formula, the monster seemed to be in great pain, and its whole body couldn't stop convulsing.

There was a hole in his abdomen, and bright red blood flowed out continuously, dripping all over the ground.

"Is the blood of a demon also red?"

Xue Qing heard someone talking beside him.

The expression behind the veil didn't change much, Xue Qing only clenched his hands a little tighter.

As the hole got bigger and bigger, a shiny demon pill slowly floated out.

Probably because of the evil cultivators, there were some variegated colors in the demon pill.

Nian Ci reached out to take the floating demon pill, and showed it to the onlookers.

"This is the source of the demon's mana."

When he squeezed it with his fingertips, the demon core that looked as hard as a stone turned into fine sand and shattered in the wind.

The crowd exclaimed in response, it turned out that the monster had lost its source of demon power, the demon core, and turned into its original form—a giant python.

Nian Chi picked up the Buddhist staff, and the tip sent out a stream of magic power towards the giant python.

Then a ball of flames appeared, quickly rushed to the body of the giant python, and put the giant python in an inescapable sea of ​​flames.

"Buddhism is really on fire." Xue Bai said, "It burns even the soul."

The flesh gave off a strange smell when burned in the fire.

The giant python twisted and rolled in pain in the raging fire, but was still engulfed by the flames.

The tragic situation of the giant python was accompanied by the applause of the people in the audience, praising Nian Ci for going out an evil monster for them.

"According to me, this monster deserves to die!"

"Yeah, I don't believe that monsters are kind."

"Beasts turned into humans are still animals."

The fire quickly burned the giant python, leaving no ashes.

Only the cold chains reflected a little light in the sun.

Among the surging crowd, Xue Qing saw a girl in black across the table.

With a cold face, there is no cheering like others, nor the slightest sadness.

Xue Qing met her eyes.

Indifferent, ruthless.

Xue Bai heard his younger brother's voice from the hood, "Sister, I want to go back."

He couldn't see his younger brother's expression clearly through the hood, but Xue Bai heard something strange in Xue Qing's voice in his first reaction.

Hastily took Xue Qing back.

The spring sun is still so cold.

The cold winter was over, but the cold Xue Qing seemed to be in an ice cave.

He didn't understand how he suddenly became like this.

The cold air that came at that moment penetrated deep into the inner mansion, so cold that even the bones were sore.

Even his head seemed to be frozen, and the voices around him couldn't be heard clearly.

Even though my sister took me to the inn quickly, my sister seemed to be saying something eagerly, but he couldn't hear clearly.

"Cold, so cold..."

Teeth are chattering.

He tried his best to control his trembling hands and grabbed his sister's sleeve.

The thick chill that condensed in his body, like ice cubes, accumulated, eroding his sanity bit by bit.

At this moment, I miss the golden warm mana.

With a sound of "Wow", Xue Qing spat out a big mouthful of blood, then fell limply on the floor, accompanied by endless coldness, and was about to fall asleep in a drowsy state.

"Come on... come on..."

Someone is calling him.

But Xue Qing managed to gather a little bit of consciousness in a daze, and fell into the endless darkness again.
