Orochi Longevity

On Heifeng Mountain, it was quiet and solemn, without any birds, beasts or insects talking.

Ling Xuzi stretched out his hand to lift it up in the void, and with a slight shake of his hand, a glass of rice wine was conjured up.

At this moment, his expression has returned to ease.

He lightly spilled the wine in front of the grave, took another sip himself, then threw away the wine glass and changed into a wooden tray. There were two pills, one red and one black, on the tray, which looked very mysterious.

"Brother Snake, Brother Snake, since you came back from Yongzhou City, I've seen that you've been preoccupied, and you have to read that man's book... Then you know, it must be that cat demon must have said something to you."

He smiled and sighed:

"At first, I thought that the cat demon said something frustrating to you about the end of your lifespan, so I thought to ask for one for you while I was making alchemy for Brother Heifeng, so that you can rest assured."

"Now that I have obtained this elixir, you are not blessed to enjoy it! It seems that you can only make it cheaper for my elder brother..."

Ling Xuzi babbled on in front of the grave, but the words did not match the words:

"...The monk's apprentice is also hateful, how could he beat someone up? But if he took his cassock, would he be guilty of taking someone's life?"

"Besides, there is a grievance and a debtor. He is going to trouble Brother Heifeng. Why bother to beat anyone..."

"Brother! You are really unlucky too! You really shouldn't choose this time to go up the mountain."

"...Could it be that the cat demon said that the two of us are ridiculous?"

"It's weird. Could it be that I will be like this...?"

"However, Brother Snake, you haven't done any evil at this time. You must be reborn as a human after you go to hell. Maybe we can still be brothers..."

"In a few days, I'll go to the Yue Temple again, ask Mr. Shi for clarification, and intercede with him by the way, and help us make arrangements."

"...If it doesn't work, I will do more good deeds. At that time, I will share some of the Yin virtues with you, and this matter should be able to be done..."

"If Brother Snake doesn't dislike it, why not wait for me down there for a while..."

"What should you write on your tombstone? According to your nature, you shouldn't like those common words..."

"It's difficult!"

Ling Xuzi sat in front of the tombstone and babbled, regardless of whether the snake under the grave could understand his words. After going to Yue Temple for a while, he doesn't seem to be afraid of death, but has very optimistic thoughts.

After all, Shi Jun once personally admitted the matter of insidious virtue, and he has done good deeds for more than two hundred years, so he is very reliable.

But as he talked, Ling Xuzi's face showed a look of loneliness again, he patted the dust on his clothes and stood up from the grave:

"Let's do that for today! Brother Snake, I'll come and chat with you when I have time later."

"...I still have to send Brother Heifeng's pill..."

In the end, Ling Xuzi picked up the medicine tray alone, humming a little tune and walking towards the cave of the black bear spirit.

After he left, he saw a line of small words on the wooden sign in the original small grave:

"The one who sleeps forever here is the taciturn snake!"

Lingxuzi's minor tune sounded farther and farther away, and the top of Heifeng Mountain quickly returned to tranquility, only the grass rustling and the mountain wind whistling.

The figure in the Taoist robe didn't go far, and then suddenly stopped, because he heard a scream of anger coming from his ear.

The voice sounded familiar:

"Monster, eat my grandson!"

Ling Xuzi looked back in astonishment, only to see a figure rising into the sky, that figure was gnashing its teeth, and punched him in the face with extreme bravery!

Looking at the stick shadow, Ling Xuzi only had two thoughts left in his mind.

One: What a powerful stick, how can I hide from it? Did his ridiculous ending come so soon...

Second: Why did the stick hit his head? Wouldn't it be to make his head open? It's too ugly to die!

Ling Xuzi didn't have time to think too much, and Monkey King's golden cudgel didn't allow him to think too much. The big stick fell instantly, and Ling Xuzi also lost consciousness instantly.

And so he died.

The dead Ling Xuzi suddenly turned into a headless giant wolf, and fell to the ground lifelessly.

Looking at the huge corpse on the ground, the monkey finally calmed down a little, thinking how glorious it was when he was the Monkey King in the past, even the Jade Emperor shunned him.

But now, in the hands of a little-known black bear spirit, he couldn't please him several times, and even that evil little monster ran away. How could he not be angry?

Killing him with a stick now finally dispelled the hatred in his heart, and he also did a good deed for the people in the vicinity, saving them from the misery caused by the monsters.

At this time, a benevolent woman stepped forward and said in surprise:

"You evil monkey, why do you have nothing to do to kill a good person?"

This person is the Guanyin master who came from Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea to help the monkeys subdue the demons. She pointed at the monkeys with Buddha dust, and her face was full of hatred for the lack of steel.

The monkey hurriedly approached Master Guanyin, pointed at the wolf corpse and said:

"Bodhisattva, you don't know. This monster is not a good person. I saw it before. It is an accomplice of the black bear spirit in stealing cassocks, and the relationship is very important!"

Master Avalokitesvara let out a long sigh and said nothing.

She came to the wolf corpse and looked around, then pinched her fingers, and finally said:

"You monkey is really harmful."

"That's all! It's also in his life that he should have such a calamity."

The monkey next to him looked left and right, and saw a wooden tray next to Ling Xuzi's body, and two pills.

He rolled his eyeballs, and immediately thought about it, and hurriedly frolicked and offered treasures to the Bodhisattva with pills:

"Bodhisattva, look!"

The monkey took out the elixir and swallowed it into its stomach at once, and said to the Bodhisattva:

"Bodhisattva, what do you think of this? Now I have eaten a elixir, and it will turn into this elixir in a while."

"You turn into that wolf demon and offer me as a pill to the black bear spirit. When the black bear spirit swallows me, my old grandson will make a fuss in his stomach. Wouldn't it be easy to take him down!"

Master Guanyin thought for a while, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Yo, you monkey, sometimes dull and sometimes clever, really makes people wonder what to do."

"It's up to you! It's just that, when you enter the Black Wind Cave later, don't beat people indiscriminately with a stick."

As he said that, Master Guanyin turned around in place, and immediately changed into the appearance of Ling Xuzi.

"How about you take a look?"

The monkey ran forward and looked left and right, only to see that the Ling Xuzi transformed by Guanyin was exactly the same as the little demon before, no matter how he looked or how he acted, there was no difference. Seeing this, the monkey was very happy for some reason. It kept looking around Guanyin, and stretched out its hands to tug on its clothes.

Avalokitesvara, who looked like Ling Xuzi, was so proud that he uttered the same voice as Ling Xuzi:

"My technique of transformation is pretty good, right?"

Seeing that the monkey didn't make much movement while scratching its ears and gills, she urged again:

"You monkey, you came up with your own ideas but didn't see anything... why don't you quickly turn it into a pill and put it on my tray?"

The monkey laughed in surprise for a while, then swayed from side to side, and quickly turned into a red pill and jumped onto the tray.
