Orochi Longevity

"It's gone."

The girl fiddled with the black cat for a while, but the black cat kept looking at her with innocent eyes, and there was a trace of clear stupidity in the eyes, allowing the girl to rub it.

After a while, Erya put the black cat on the ground and said softly to the landscape painting.

And the black cat broke free from the girl's grasp, and immediately ran to the door of the dark room, scratching the wooden door with its paws and making harsh noises.

At the same time, it also let out a cry of fear.

The girl knew that it was inevitable that the dark room would be contaminated with the smell of snakes.

Ordinary beasts would naturally be very afraid. This kind of power from a high-ranking hunter would make it fear from the bottom of its heart.

The girl got up and opened the door by a corner.

The black cat rushed out the door quickly and disappeared in a flash.

"Um."

"...it seems to know me well."

A cold and hoarse voice immediately sounded in the girl's heart.

In the landscape painting, the black snake lowers its eyes, covering the black air surging in the bottom of the eyes.

After the black cat left, the house returned to calm.

The girl withdrew her hand, knelt on the futon expressionlessly, and stared at the ground in ecstasy.

"..."

Everything that the black cat just said flashed in her mind——

There are many doubts in my heart.

She wanted to say something, but was a little powerless.

"...That's it, don't think too much about it."

The icy voice sounded again, and the snake said in a heart-to-heart voice:

"In any case, the only ally I recognize is you. Maybe we did have our own mission, but now I just want to live forever."

"...don't forget our covenant."

"Now, you can leave first and think about how we should act next."

The snake's voice gradually faded.

The girl was silent for a moment.

"……good."

She stood up and walked out of the dark room.

With a squeak, the light leaked into the dark room was turned into darkness, and the small dark room suddenly became extremely quiet.

After a while, the snake in the landscape painting also disappeared.

...In fact, the mood of the snake is as complicated as that of the girl.

In a short period of time, it has been exposed to too much information... This makes it a little restless.

Snake needs to take some time to calm down and clear his mind along the way.

... In the landscape painting with green smoke curling up, in the seemingly endless silence, the snake's chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down and gradually stabilized.

It begins to ask itself questions and to answer for itself.

Is the cat demon's words feasible?

At least from the perspective of the snake, it is believable. The cat demon knows where it is, and even knows its supernatural powers.

What is its mission, what is its pursuit?

Although the cat demon said that its mission is to go to the heavens and find the leader of the countercurrent.

But the snake is a completely strange existence to the heavenly realm and to that reverser. It is impossible for it to risk its life because of the cat demon's words, and decide its own life according to the leader's arrangement.

It examines its heart, and only feels that what it desires the most is still longevity.

Longevity is its mission, and countercurrent is a last resort.

...Of course, if there is a chance in the future, it would not mind going to the heaven to meet the leader.

By asking and answering itself, the snake slowly dissipated the inner irritability.

It felt that it had solved a problem, and felt a faint joy in its heart, and then went to explore another problem.

The second question, what hinders its long life?

It began to think about what conditions it lacked.

An obstacle to longevity...

"hiss……"

Thinking of this question, the snake's eyes were slightly cold, and it couldn't help spit out a slender tongue and let out a sharp neigh.

... destiny.

Everything in the world is born and dies.

There is a beginning and an end, even mountains and rivers will come to an end.

Even the Buddha has a time of nirvana... In the future era of the end of the Dharma, there are even capable people and strangers who have calculated that the universe also has its lifespan.

This is the destiny, it is a matter of birth.

Thinking of this, the snake suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

It is a mortal snake. Although it can improve its lifespan through cultivation, it can only live for two hundred years now.

The black bear spirit once said that since the heaven and the earth were separated, the lifespan of the demons has also been greatly restricted. Even if it is the most powerful monster in the present age, its lifespan can only reach a thousand years at the peak, so many monsters are eager to find a way to make themselves live for a long time.

Those who can do this include Queen Mother Peach, Laojun Pill, Ginseng Fruit, Book of Life and Death... Now there is an extra Tang Monk meat.

Although the snake has invisible objects to protect its body, its body is also a living being in this world, and it cannot transcend the rules of heaven and earth.

With the improvement of cultivation base, it has felt the difficulty of breaking through. If you only rely on incense to improve, you need many years of accumulation to reach as vast as the sea.

If there are no other troubles, such accumulation is also in line with the snake's wishes.

But now it understands that the Buddha is dead and the Dharma-ending era is coming.

... The time from the separation of heaven and earth is only fourteen years left on the road to learn the scriptures. The immortal energy between the heaven and the earth will become thinner and thinner, and all gods and demons will disappear in the mortal world.

In those fourteen short years, it had to find a way out for itself.

Thinking of this, the snake became even calmer.

It has gradually cleared its mind.

So, how to find a way out?

First, find the book of life and death, erase your own information, and completely get rid of your destiny.

Second, seek opportunities to smuggle in before the heaven disappears, lurk in it, and wait for the opportunity to move.

... These items may seem easy, but they are undoubtedly wishful thinking.

At least with the current strength of the snake, it is impossible to do it.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to quickly make yourself stronger. Let yourself have enough strength to travel between heaven and hell and roam freely.

"……hiss."

The snake suddenly remembered the black cat's reminder before leaving.

It said, don't underestimate the universe, this supernatural power is very important.

Also, the fairy in the painting... must go? What does it mean?

Could it be something in the future that hasn't happened yet?

The snake pondered for a long time, then slowly raised its head.

In the landscape painting, the black mist turns into two winding giant snakes, ferocious and ferocious.

The snake wandered in the mountains and waters for a while, and then became quiet again.

What the fairy in the painting is, it is not clear.

But it understands the universe very well, this is its new supernatural power, which can make it swallow many things in its stomach.

This supernatural power can also be strengthened by fate.

The snake once checked the effect of strengthening the universe in its belly, and found that after strengthening, it can use two different processing methods for digesting and accumulating the contents in its belly.

Snake always felt that this supernatural power was very useless, and worried that if he swallowed the monsters in his stomach at will, it would kill him instead.

Therefore, it did not take this supernatural power seriously.

But now, the black cat demon specially reminded it, which made it extremely interested in this supernatural power.

Could it be that this supernatural power actually has great potential?
