Chapter 9 Exploring the Well

We were confronting the big white snake at close range, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Xiaoxue was still communicating with it. I turned my head and looked at Lin Mei, signaling not to worry.

Normal snakes have long hibernated in such a cold place, but this huge white snake in front of me is full of life. I saw no trace of the giant snake swimming by when I walked in, and no trace of the beast coming in, which proves that it no longer eats blood.

Shi, who can survive only by absorbing the Yin Qi of the earth veins, can really be regarded as a snake demon.

I have a snake repellent in my waist that I begged from Wu Zhangya, but it is probably of no use. This white snake is much stronger than the five-step snake back then. I am afraid that if I cannot drive it away, it will anger it and the consequences will be disastrous.

After a stalemate for about two minutes, the big white snake's head fell back to the ground, and its momentum dropped significantly. Xiaoxue said to me somewhat depressedly: "It doesn't allow us to pass, but it can let us go. It's so abominable, if I hadn't lost it

How dare it be so rude when its body and soul are injured!

White Snake seemed to know what Xiaoxue was talking about, and raised its head again, showing some anger.

I knew it was impossible to pass, so I had an idea and raised my hand to Bai Snake: "Great Immortal, did anyone pass by here about fifty years ago..."

"hiss……"

The white snake suddenly became furious and opened its mouth to roar. I directly felt the anger and impatience it conveyed, as if it was saying "get out".

I don’t know if it looks down on me and is protesting against me, or if it is angry at me because my great master has offended it. At this moment, it is on the verge of going berserk. I don’t dare to provoke it anymore, so I can only slowly retreat, and then retreat again, until I can’t see it anymore.

Then he turned around.

Xiaoxue said: "It's a little strange. It has been practicing for hundreds of years. Even if it can't transform yet, it should have high intelligence. But its current intelligence is very limited. It's like a two or three-year-old child who thinks he is very powerful.

, I can’t reason with it, I can’t beat it again and again…”

I smiled bitterly: "It's not that I think it's awesome, it's really awesome."

Since this big white snake has been cultivated for hundreds of years, it should not be much different from what it is now fifty years ago. It is unlikely that my great master would have passed through here, so there is no need to risk exploring the cold cave again.

While resting temporarily at the entrance of the cave, Lin Mei sighed: "That snake is so beautiful, but a bit too fierce. I have seen small white snakes in the pine forest before, but not so white."

"It has become a spirit and is considered a snake demon..." It suddenly occurred to me that I should tell Lin Mei about Xiaoxue, but it was really difficult to talk about it. I was afraid that she would take matters into account between me and Xiaoxue.

You can't say anything bad about Xiaoxue, I'm stuck in the middle and not a human being!

"Mei, you still don't know that there is a vixen in my body that has been around for nearly a thousand years!"

"Ah?" Lin Mei was a little surprised, but only slightly surprised, not panicked, "It won't hurt you, right?"

"probably not……"

Xiaoxue was a little annoyed: "What should not happen, it definitely won't!"

I ignored Xiaoxue's protest and told me from beginning to end how I went to Beikeng Village to teach and how I met Xiaoxue. I even told the story of Xiaoxue confusing me for two nights in a row and getting Chen Xing into my bed. But nothing happened.

It was too explicit and ended up talking about my relationship and current situation with Xiaoxue.

Lin Mei had been listening nervously. After I finished speaking, she was visibly relieved: "As long as it doesn't harm you, that's fine."

I asked with some anxiety: "You're not scared at all, do you mind?"

Lin Mei laughed: "Don't be afraid. It will help you practice and do things for you. It won't hurt you or me. Why should you be afraid?"

I feel ashamed. Her world view is very simple. People who treat me well are good people, regardless of whether they are human, demon or ghost. She has lived in the ghost realm for many years, and there are both ghosts and monsters around her, but no one, so she is

For her, monsters and monsters are at the same level as humans.

The simplest outlook on life is also the closest to the truth - in fact, my master also has this view. All things have animism. Those who do good are gods or immortals, and those who do evil are monsters or demons. You cannot judge your status based on your origin.

Good and evil. Master once told me the story of the Eight Immortals. Among the Eight Immortals, Zhang Guolao was originally a mouse, later evolved into a bat, and finally became a true immortal in the Upper Eight Cave. Even the humblest and most insignificant mouse can become a true immortal.

This is the best proof.

Xiaoxue had always been somewhat "hostile" towards Lin Mei, but when she saw that Lin Mei didn't despise her at all, she was a little moved.

Lin Mei said: "I heard the story of the fox fairy when I was a child. It looks very beautiful. Can you call it out and let me see it?"

I was about to say no, Xiaoxue had already used its magic to show its image in Lin Mei's mind, but I didn't see it. I only saw Lin Mei's shocked look: "Wow, Sister Fox Fairy, you

So beautiful!”

I wanted to ask her if she would mind if Xiaoxue was in my body and had "undue desires" for me, but I soon realized that this question was stupid. She had already proven it with her actions. As long as I am happy, she will be happy.

Her only wish is to be by my side, it's that simple, so do I need to ask again? Besides, facing a pure heart like hers, can I still eat from the bowl and look at the pot?

Xiaoxue sighed quietly in my heart: "I'm really jealous of you two! Now I understand, I didn't know love at all before, you are what we call love."

I feel a little sour in my heart and feel sorry for Xiaoxue. Now that it understands what love is, it is impossible for me to give it love - am I really not allowed to give it to it? I don't dare to think too much and carry the things on my back.

Continue climbing to the top of the mountain with Lin Mei.

We arrived at the top of the mountain around three in the afternoon. Due to the heavy fog, we couldn't see the scenery in the distance, so there was no beautiful scenery to speak of.

The white fog was so thick that we couldn't see far. Fortunately, with Lao Lin's guidance, we found the entrance to the well in no time. The entrance to the well was very inconspicuous, with a height of only about one meter. We had to climb in, but after entering

It became much wider, and after walking a few meters further, it suddenly turned into a vertical hole, roughly circular in shape, with a diameter of about three meters. No wonder Lao Lin called it a "well hole".

I picked up a small stone and threw it into the center of the vertical hole. I listened carefully and heard two faint collision sounds. The two sounds were separated by a long time, and the second sound was very vague. I didn't know if I had hit the bottom, but I was sure that the hole was not the same.

It's not completely straight down, there's at least one big turn.

The well cave was not cold, and I couldn't sense any danger. I immediately took action and carefully connected three 100-meter-long nylon ropes, fixed one end to the protruding rock wall, and tied a small stone to the other end and slowly lowered it down.

In the end, the rope was completely lowered, but this may be caused by the weight of the rope itself, and the cave may not be as deep as 300 meters. For safety reasons, I also brought two bundles of ropes.

"Brother, let me go down first, I am light." Lin Mei grabbed the rope in my hand.

"No, I'll go down, and you'll pick me up from the top." I refused her. Although there was rope assistance, going up and down such a steep hole was very tiring, and there might be dangers down there. I couldn't let Lin Mei rush ahead.

.

Lin Mei asked worriedly: "What if it's too deep and I can't hear you?"

I thought for a while: "This hole is very straight, you should be able to hear the sound. After I reach the bottom and am safe, I will knock the wall of the cave three times with stones, and then you come down again; if I encounter danger and need your help,

I will knock the stone wall hard five times."

Lin Mei nodded. I put on gauze gloves to prevent slipping. I fixed the flashlight on my waist. I also hung a small pickaxe and a stinger dagger around my waist. I had emergency talismans in my pockets, a mahogany sword and other things for casting spells on my back.

On my back, I was fully armed. I smiled at Lin Mei and told her not to be nervous, then I grabbed the rope and made a half circle, and started to climb down.

The nylon rope is thin and slippery, so I have to wrap my palm around the rope half a turn every time to prevent it from slipping. I can't let it go until my other hand has tightened it. There can't be any negligence. The cave is almost vertically downward.

, the cave walls are covered with moss, wet and slippery, and there are few places where you can step on and rest. An ordinary person might have exhausted his energy by sliding down ten meters.

After I changed into the Demon Fox Heroic Spirit, I became far more agile than ordinary people. After practicing the Yin and Yang Art, this talent became more obvious and decreased easily. In addition, my good night vision also came in handy, allowing me to operate in the dark.

I quickly found a place to stay, and I checked the position before each descent. This kind of planned action not only saves energy, but also speeds up the speed.

After descending more than 20 meters, the cave is no longer circular, and the space has become larger. It looks like a large crack in the mountain. One side is still vertically downward, and the other side is slightly tilted. The cave goes straight up and down.

The feeling of depression is stronger than that of a cold cave, and there is a strong feeling of being swallowed by a giant beast.

After descending for tens of meters, I confirmed my judgment. This is indeed a cavity shaped like an "in" formed by two mountains. One side of the mountain is vertical, and the other side of the mountain is inclined.

When the first rope came to the end, I found that the stone wall became tilted, and the stone wall on the opposite side changed from tilt to nearly vertical, a magical turning point. When I got here, I felt that the air humidity had increased significantly. Maybe it was not far from the bottom of the cave, and below

There is a water pool. It seems that the hole is not as deep as expected. You can't hear the sound of stones falling to the ground. It may be that they fell into the water, because the sound of the turning of space cannot be transmitted to the top.

I checked the turning point of the cave. The edge was not too sharp, and the rope should not be broken due to scratches, so I continued downward. This section of the rock wall has some slopes, and there are many embossed places for footing, so the descent is very difficult.

It has been reduced, but I don’t dare to be careless because I haven’t encountered any animals since I came in!

Although there are very few animals living in such a dark and deep cave, it is not completely absent. The reason for being so quiet may be the same as the cold cave. There are powerful creatures inside, and ordinary small animals dare not enter!

"Xiaoxue, are there monsters in this cave?"

Xiaoxue said lazily: "I don't know, this hole is a little weird. It seems to me that it's very dark and I can't see anything."

Particularly dark? I was a little confused. It was absolutely dark inside the deep cave. There was no reason for it to be particularly dark. Moreover, I still had a flashlight on my waist. I didn’t think much about it. After descending about twenty meters, I suddenly sensed the feeling below.

The evil energy was so strong that he hurriedly spotted a small ledge below and quickly slid down. As soon as he stood firm, he wrapped the rope with his left forearm and reached behind his right hand to grab the mahogany sword. Unexpectedly, the evil energy came extremely quickly, and in an instant
