pregnant snake

Qi Yuan suddenly brought a pot of flowers back to Wudang Mountain. No matter how strange he thought about it, Liu Shuyi stood there and looked at him hesitantly, pointed to the peony in his hand, and asked, "This... what is it?" thing?"

Qi Yuan threw the flowerpot on the table casually, and said, "The flower demon, but it hasn't formed yet."

Liu Shuyi walked around the flower pot with his hands behind his back, and asked with a frown, "Where did you get it?"

"It's a long story." Qi Yuan said: "I originally wanted to cut off the signs of it becoming a demon, but some things happened during the delay, and it was already this picture when I recovered. I don’t care about the appearance, so it sent him to you.”

Liu Shuyi said helplessly: "Wudang Mountain is a holy place of Taoism, not a den of demons. It is hard enough to raise a snake demon for you, how can you have the energy to raise this peony? If it is like you in the future, it will bring some small ones. When the demon comes back, will the Wudang Taoist Temple still be able to do it?"

Qi Yuan looked at Liu Shuyi indifferently, and said, "It's just a flower, so there are so many complaints. Anyway, I gave it to you, and you can do whatever you want with it in the future."

Liu Shuyi curled his lips, what else could he do with it, since Qi Yuan had spoken, he could only keep it.Liu Shuyi stared at the blooming peony for a while, then sighed quietly: "Old ancestor Zhenwu, you really shouldn't have enlightened that damned black snake back then."

Qi Yuan snorted coldly when he heard the words, then turned his head and looked around Liu Shuyi's room, and suddenly remembered something, and said to the old Taoist priest who was still sighing: "Do you still have that ginseng ointment of yours? Give me two boxes."

Liu Shuyi stared at Qi Yuan and said, "No more."

Qi Yuan raised one corner of his lips: "Don't pretend, I know where you hid them." Then he got up and walked towards a wooden box by the window.

Even though Liu Shuyi's hair was covered with white hair, but his movements were as nimble as a rabbit's. He rushed to Qi Yuan in three or two steps, propped his hands on the table, and sat down on the wooden box. Ku Dachou looked at Qi Yuan deeply, and said: "Ancestor, I beg you, I made this ginseng ointment with a hundred-year-old ginseng that I finally found. You said you are a monster with no disease or disaster." What do you use it for? Can’t you leave some for my old body?”

"I think you're still very strong, and it won't be a problem to go to the mountains to dig some more ginseng." Qi Yuan said, "Hurry up and give me the ginseng ointment."

Liu Shuyi still sat still on the wooden box, and said with an exaggerated expression: "I'm 78 this year, how tough can I be? You really don't have back pain when you stand and talk."

After hearing this, Qi Yuan paused for a moment, and then said thoughtfully after a while: "The longest lifespan of Wudang temple masters in the past thousand years is only over eighty years old."

Liu Shuyi blinked his eyes, but didn't understand the meaning of Qi Yuan's words, when he was about to ask, Qi Yuan added angrily: "So you didn't have a few years to live, eating so much ginseng ointment What's the use?"

Liu Shuyi was so angry that his chest felt stuffy, and panting heavily, he cursed: "You, you, you stinky snake, why don't you have any conscience at all? I've been with you for so many years, and you cursed? I die?"

"I'm not cursing you to die." Qi Yuan shook his head, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and said, "It's because your lifespan is short, and I don't want you to leave one by one, but it's a pity that I can't."

Liu Shuyi looked at Qi Yuan's expression in a daze, and after thinking about it, he knew that this Wudang Mountain was probably the only one who had been with Qi Yuan for so many years. It's just new graves covering old ones, an endless cycle.After Liu Shuyi thought of this, his heart softened, he quietly stretched out a finger, and said, "Why don't I get you a box first?"

Qi Yuan raised his eyelids, his eyes returned to cold and arrogant, and said: "Not enough." Then he reached out to squeeze Liu Shuyi's white beard, dragged him down abruptly, and quickly took the ginseng paste from the box into his bosom inside.

Liu Shuyi stood helplessly by the side, wanting to cry, but said bitterly: "If I die, I must be mad at you, the old snake demon."

Qi Yuan casually said: "That's just right, the Wudang Mountain Stone Cave wine cellar will belong to me." He closed the empty wooden box and paused, then said: "I suddenly remembered that Su He doesn't know how to make wine. Give me two jars of wine and I'll take them back to satisfy my hunger."

Liu Shuyi couldn't be bothered to care about this unreasonable snake demon any more, so he squatted at the door of the house aggrieved, ignoring him.

Qi Yuan just took it as a tacit consent, and returned to Yunlan Mountain with two jars of the best wine.Seeing that he returned with a full load, Su He frowned and asked, "Did you sell that flower demon...?"

"Who will buy it?" Qi Yuan put the wine on the table in the room, and said, "I got this wine from Liu Shuyi, and the flower demon also let me put it in Wudang Mountain."

A few days ago, Su He heard Qi Yuan talk about his past, so he had a little understanding of Liu Shuyi. Knowing that the flower demon was with him, he felt relieved, nodded and didn't ask any more questions, and continued to study with his head down. ink.

Qi Yuan glanced at the red paper in front of Su He, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Su He said without raising his head: "Seeing that it's the end of the year, posting the Spring Festival couplets is a joy."

"New Year's Eve..." Qi Yuan repeated softly, and then asked: "During the New Year's Eve, you want to go back to Su Mansion?"

"Why go back to Su Mansion? No one welcomes me." Su He said with a smile: "I used to live as usual at the end of the year, but this year with you here, I don't want to be as ordinary as before."

Qi Yuan hummed lightly, looked down at the two jugs of wine on the table, then picked up the wine jugs and put them in the cabinet. When he turned around, he saw Su He looking at him suspiciously, and said, "Keep it for now. time to drink."
