Chapter 16 The Evil Snake Seduces the Soul
Watching the snake corpses intertwined together, they were shaking and making strange noises.
I felt my scalp was numb and goosebumps all over my body. I subconsciously stepped back. Zhang Xianren's body was like a snake.
I couldn't bear to scream anymore. Just when those snake corpses were swimming over, a dazzling black light flashed, and I suddenly woke up.
Chu Yuan's voice came to my ears: "Okay, it's okay."
When I came back to my senses, I found snake corpses all over the yard lying peacefully on the ground, and Zhang Xianren also fell to the ground motionless.
I quickly stepped forward and turned Zhang Xianren over, who was lying on the ground, and put my hand on his nose to explore.
"He's not dead yet." I suddenly looked happy.
Chu Yuan said in an unusually calm voice: "I'm going to die soon."
I was stunned for a moment, but then I realized why Chu Yuan said this, because Zhang Xianren's exposed skin color became extremely abnormal.
He was a little blue and purple, and his face was dark and slightly swollen. What was even more creepy was that the left half of his face had faint lines, like snake scales.
"what to do?"
I was so anxious. After all, Zhang Xianren became like this because of me. If he died like this, I would naturally feel very sorry.
Chu Yuan said calmly: "Hel him into the house, and hurry up to find what I told you."
According to what he said, if you want to save Zhang Xianren now, you must find what he said. I don't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.
With great difficulty, I helped Zhang Xianren into the room and lay on the bed. Taking advantage of the darkness, I hurried to my grandma's house.
After turning a few corners on the village road, I looked at the door of my grandma's house from a distance. The lights were still on inside. When I opened the door, I saw my aunt pacing back and forth at the door of the hall.
When I opened the door, my aunt looked over at a glance, and she called me silently.
In the evening we went to watch the fun, but something unexpected happened in Shepangou, and we ran away. Now I see that my aunt is fine, and I am relieved.
My aunt burst into tears of joy, came over and grabbed my hand and said, "Where were you this night? You scared me to death. If you have any shortcomings, how should I explain to your grandma?"
"I'm going to Zhang Daochang's house!" I knew now was not the time to reminisce about old times, so I didn't talk about home affairs. Instead, I said straight to the point: "Auntie, did you know there is a mahogany box at grandma's house?"
Auntie has some doubts and doesn't know why I suddenly said this.
"Your grandma and grandpa's belongings were all burned, and I don't remember there being any boxes left."
Chu Yuan said in his ear: "No, the things in the mahogany box are magic weapons, and magic weapons will not be burned so easily."
My aunt was angry with her grandma and didn't come back for a long time. She might not know it.
I asked in a low voice: "How do you know so well?"
Although Chu Yuan's voice was still a bit weak, he snorted arrogantly: "Although I almost lost my soul after I passed through the catastrophe of transformation, without the magic weapon, I still can't deal with him with Bai Jianshan's ability.
I, besides...where do you think your grandma got those snake repelling charms?"
Sensing that Chu Yuan's tone was a bit unpleasant, I echoed sarcastically: "That makes sense, that makes sense. Let's look for it more carefully."
I started to search hurriedly in the room, but I couldn't find the mahogany box that Chu Yuan mentioned after rummaging through the small room.
Just as I was running around anxiously, my aunt said in a voice aside: "Ah... I remembered that your grandma did leave something for you that night when she threw herself into the river."
After I fell asleep that night, when my aunt was giving grandma medicine, grandma casually mentioned that what happened in the past two days made my aunt so anxious that she ignored it.
My aunt ran into my room and took out something wrapped in yellow cloth. I recognized it the first time I saw it.
That night, grandma knelt in the yard to worship, and next to her was this yellow cloth parcel.
After uncovering the yellow cloth, it turned out to be a mahogany box inside.
My aunt said, "Your grandma told me that day. I was thinking about telling you, but you fell asleep and I forgot about it in the past two days."
I was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to open the mahogany box. Inside was a thread-bound book with yellowing pages and dust on it.
Next to it are some yellow paper talismans, drawn on rough paper.
"These are the snake repelling charms. I didn't expect that the old lady kept so many as spares." Chu Yuan's voice sounded in my ears, and he snorted a little arrogantly.
I was a little embarrassed because I already knew that these snake charms were originally designed to restrain him.
Growing up, I drank snake repellent water.
In addition, there is a bell inside. This bell is wrapped with strange snake patterns. The tail is like a snake's mouth. It shakes gently and makes a different kind of bell sound. In the head of the snake's mouth, there is an incense core.
Something similar.
Chu Yuan told me this is the Snake Soul Bell.
I asked eagerly and lowly: "What should I do now?"
Chu Yuan ordered: "Take the snake soul bell and the snake repelling talisman!"
Without thinking of anything else to say, according to what Chu Yuan said, I quickly picked up the snake repelling charm and the snake soul bell, turned around and walked out.
When I reached the door, I stopped, turned around and said to my aunt: "Close the door at night and don't go out."
My aunt didn't know what happened and seemed very anxious, but she didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.
Returning to Zhang Xianren's home, I saw Zhang Xianren lying quietly on the bed, with a pale face, blue lips, and a faint black mist lingering on his forehead.
"The evil snake seduces the soul..." Chu Yuan murmured.
Zhang Xianren's face visibly shrunk, and patches of black scales suddenly appeared on both sides of his cheeks, just like the scales covering his grandma's corpse.
"What should I do now?" Seeing Zhang Xianren lying on the bed with a black face, I had no idea what to do.
Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Go to the room to get some glutinous rice."
There was a lot of tribute rice on the altar of the shrine. I grabbed some, and then Chu Yuan told me the next process.
After everything was ready, I returned to the room.
"Let's get started." Chu Yuan said.
I hesitated for a moment, then followed Chu Yuan's instructions and threw a handful of rice on Zhang Xianren. Immediately, I heard a hissing sound, accompanied by a faint black air.
I don't know if it was because of the severe pain, or if something was eating his flesh, but Zhang Xianren, who was unconscious, actually screamed out in pain.
I quickly came up to help me, and when I saw this, I threw a handful of rice again and muttered something. At this time, Zhang Xianren's whole body was already twitching a little.
"The snake is out!" Chu Yuan said calmly.
When I heard this, I looked down and saw three or four snake shadows coming out of Zhang Xianren's neck, twisting and struggling in the air.
As the gongmi was sprinkled down, black smoke continued to emit out of thin air when the snake shadow touched it.
