Orochi Longevity

Zhanghe River Basin, Liujia Village, the dark room of Liu Laowu's family.

Candle lamps were lit in the drowsy dark room, making the room dim.

Moonrise and sunset.

I don't know when it started to rain lightly outside the house, and it knocked on the window with a crackling sound, making a low and depressing sound. The inside of the house was even more humid and filled with a gloomy and cold atmosphere.

In this room, a young woman was kneeling and sitting on the futon under the landscape painting. A huge black snake was hanging on the beam in front of her.

The black snake's eyes were deep, and the scales all over his body glowed with a cold light. I saw the black snake spitting out the letter, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Ling Xuzi should be dead.

It's a pity that it risked its life to send a clone, which didn't make the original story sparkle.

Rather, its appearance catered to the direction of the story.

Although in the story of Journey to the West, the knight in white occupies very little space, but his death did leave a mark on the book.

After the death of the White Flower Snake clone, it even triggered the snake's natural supernatural power...

Why exactly?

Combining all the past, a small speculation arose in Snake's mind.

"..."

The big black snake poked out its ferocious head and approached the girl, and it transmitted a voice in the girl's heart:

"let's start."

It makes the girl tell everything it knows, and it will give everything it knows in exchange.

"yes."

The girl nodded slightly, with strange emotions flowing in her heart, she found that the snake seemed to have undergone some small changes compared to before leaving.

Although the voice that sounded in her mind was still cold, there was a hint of humanity in its words.

Moreover, the snake's attitude towards her seems to be more equal than before...

When facing a snake before, she would feel a deep sense of fear in her heart while admiring it, and she had a kind of humbleness when facing the superior.

It was as if the snake only regarded her as a dispensable tool and didn't care about her at all.

But now, she felt faintly that the snake seemed to regard her as a partner. That feeling is very mysterious and hard to detect, but the girl has keenly captured it.

Her pupils flickered... She muttered to herself.

Originally, she wanted to secretly keep a hand so that she could always be a valuable person and save her life.

But now she thinks she has a chance to give it a go and form a true ally with the snake!

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, she opened her mouth and began to speak slowly.

She said everything she knew without reservation.

Liu Family Village.

Liu Laowu's house, a dark corner.

The big black python hid most of its body in the beam of the house, silently listening to the girl finish everything.

"...Very well, next, it's my turn."

The big black snake showed its ferocious fangs and slowly spit out the letter, and a pair of green eyes exuded a strange light.

"What I'm going to tell you is - Rebel!"

In the next second, the big snake suddenly soared into the air and rushed towards the roof.

Its icy voice echoed in the girl's heart, and it poured out everything about itself, its origin, its thinking, and its supernatural powers.

And...the experience of Yuemiao and Heifeng Mountain.

"I met the Rebels, they are just like you, they came from the afterlife...I don't know their purpose, nor do you know the purpose of your coming here..."

After the girl listened, her eyes were serious.

In this world, there is an existence like her that travels through time and space? Doesn't that mean that there is a method in this world that allows people to travel through time and space freely?

Perhaps one day, she can return to her own era?

... What is her purpose?

The girl felt a dull pain in her heart, she knew that she came to this era for a purpose.

However, she couldn't remember what was most important to her.

The girl knew in her heart that those memories seemed to be the price she paid for coming against the current.

...If you break the law, you need to pay the price.

What are you willing to give?

She remembered that there was a huge figure asking questions in front of her.

At that time, she was hugging a dying villain, looked back at that figure and said:

"my everything."

... While the girl was thinking, another question rang in her ears.

In the dark room, the snake's body is extremely fast, passing by like a phantom in the night:

"...I have a question, I want to ask you... Will the farmer and the snake also appear in the form of a book in the later life?"

When the girl came back to her senses, she felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

Putting those intricate thoughts out of her mind temporarily, she answered the snake's question seriously.

"...Yes... In later generations, the farmer and the snake is a very famous fable."

The maiden knew what the snake wanted to ask:

"...I think your conjecture may be right. The trigger condition for innate supernatural powers, the so-called fate...maybe it requires you to play a certain role in those stories."

The snake's cold eyes flickered, and it recognized the girl's words.

Then, it seemed to be asking a question or muttering to itself:

"...Journey to the West...why is this arrangement?"

After the trip to Heifeng Mountain, Snake clearly felt that many things in this world are under the control of gods and Buddhas.

The destiny of all living beings in the world is recorded in the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man, as if a pair of invisible hands are fiddle with the fate of all things, making it continue to move in a certain direction.

...Once things go off track, they will forcefully bring them back on track.

Ordinary people are responsible for the underworld and gods.

And some things that are beyond the rules of the heavens and the underworld will also be reversed by some extremely powerful existence.

The snake thought of Mrs. Bone, she is a very vivid example.

In this era, Journey to the West seems to be the top priority of the established destiny, and it is highly valued by gods and Buddhas. Those gods and Buddhas made several moves, and it was bound to make the Journey to the West develop according to their ideas.

Master Xuanzang and his disciples are the well-deserved protagonists of this era, as if the whole world is revolving around them...

But why is this so?

What is so special about Journey to the West, worthy of gods and Buddhas?

The girl heard the snake's self-talk, thought about it, and boldly expressed her speculation:

"...In our time, many people believed that the reason why the Buddha arranged for Xuanzang to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures was actually to revitalize Buddhism."

"On the journey to the west, many monsters have an inseparable relationship with Mantian gods and Buddhas. They seem to be performing a play. When the play is over, they will complete their merits and return to the heaven..."

The snake was thoughtful when he heard the words.

It always feels that such a statement is very wrong.

But it can't find any flaws...

"... Is it meritorious?"

The snake felt that the reason why its giant white snake avatar could trigger the natural supernatural powers was to gain a lot of fate. Perhaps it was because it acted as a small obstacle in one of the disasters on the Journey to the West, so it was rewarded with merit.
