Orochi Longevity

The girl's eyes turned cold:

"I'm a demon subduing master. It was your two elder brothers who invited me to come to your house to subdue demons. As you can see now, I have the ability to enter this painting, so naturally I also have the ability to take down Zhiniang."

"...! It's just that I saw that your two elder brothers looked different, and they didn't look like good people, so I took the trouble to find out the truth from you."

"...If you don't want to talk, then I'll assume that what they said is true, and take down that Zhiniang, except for this evil spirit!"

"Hiss, hiss." Snake Tail patted the back of her hand, and there was a touch of approval in Snake's eyes.

This girl is indeed smart and smart, and knows how to hide her edge, and will not show her edge too much and provoke a fight.

She can always make the most appropriate actions at the most appropriate time to achieve her goals.

The fat man's body trembled violently.

He quickly raised his head and looked at the girl anxiously.

"...No, no! Zhiniang is not a monster, they lie, they lie!"

Hearing this, the snake suppressed the joy in his heart and listened carefully to the fat man's words.

"Oh?" The girl raised her eyebrows, "What is Zhiniang? Your brother and the others... what lies?"

"..." Fatty hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I...let me tell you, can you let Zhiniang go?"

"Yes." The girl nodded decisively, showing a gentle smile.

"I am a demon-subduing master, and my duty is to eliminate demons and defend the way. If Zhiniang is not a monster...and has not done evil, why do I have to surrender her?"

A Niu looked at the girl with timid eyes, looked up and down for a long time, and seemed to think that she was not a bad person.

Only then did he relax, and slowly took a step forward:

"I...I tell you..."

"Zhi Niang is not a monster, in fact...she is a fairy from the sky!"

Although Ah Niu looks stupid and speaks like a child with no brains, fortunately, he can communicate with others smoothly.

And while he was talking, the scene in the painting was constantly changing.

It turned out that what the guards outside the city gate of Suzhou said was true, and Ah Niu's father, Mr. Xu, had a bad temper.

The old man is a person who cares about his face very much. He is very aggressive and always regards his youngest stupid son as a shame.

So he kept Ah Niu in the house every time, and never let him step into the gate. At that time, A Niu was still more stupid than he is now, and he didn't understand why his father treated him like this. He was very afraid of his father, but because of his natural illness, he didn't remember eating and beating.

Even though Mr. Xu beat him severely with a whip over and over again, he didn't have a long memory, and still slipped out from time to time, making many jokes outside.

The more Master Xu thought about it, the more angry he became, he simply ordered his servants to lock A Niu in an iron cage and not let him out.

For a long time since then, he has lived a life like a dog, hungry, bullied and humiliated.

As the saying goes, everyone in the family follows suit, and even the servants dare to laugh at and bully Ah Niu.

... Ah Niu was disciplined as an animal. After being imprisoned for a long time, he really learned to be "smart".

He began to observe words and expressions, and began to learn to please others in exchange for food and survival. In such a life, A Niu's mind gradually grew, and endless pain began to accumulate in his heart.

He didn't hold any resentment, and still flattered Master Xu and his two elder brothers.

Because he didn't know what resentment was, during the years of torture, he thought that everything he suffered was normal.

Only occasionally, occasionally, he would feel that the position of his chest was oppressive, making him unable to breathe.

A Niu originally thought that he would spend his long life just like a beast.

But later, Master Xu fell seriously ill.

That was when his two eldest sons, instead of being sad, were ecstatic, and they began to discuss the division of the family property in front of him, and the two quarreled endlessly.

Only the foolish youngest son would stand by his bedside, clumsily listen to his instructions, and help him relieve his thirst, chest tightness and other discomforts.

Before he died, perhaps Mr. Xu suddenly realized his conscience, so he called his three sons to him. He was worried that his youngest son who was born with a disability would be left unattended after his death, so he asked his two elder brothers if they would take care of Ah Niu for him.

Seeing the two sons rejecting each other and dodging left and right, Master Xu burst into tears and regretted his mistake. But now he obviously can no longer be as vigorous and decisive as before, and say what he says.

Master Xu knew that even if he was willing to leave his family property to his youngest son, his two elder brothers would fight for it.

So he pushed everyone back, except A Niu.

Ah Niu couldn't remember exactly what Master Xu said, only that Master Xu held his hand, cried for a long time, and confessed for a long time.

Later, he left A Niu an old house and a broken painting, and he passed away forever. Master Xu told A Niu that this painting was handed down from his ancestors, and a fairy lived in the painting.

A long, long time ago, there was a group of fairies weaving clouds and hair in the sky, greedy for the scenery of the mortal world, sneaked down the mortal world and landed in the mortal world.

The ancestors of the Xu family were famous painters back then. One day they went out to play and saw fairies frolicking in the river by chance.

The ancestors of the Xu family marveled at the unparalleled beauty of this group of fairies, and secretly admired them in their hearts. But he knew that his weight was not good enough for these fairy daughters, so he silently diverted his attention and drew this painting.

The ancestors of the Xu family hoped to be able to describe the appearance of those fairies with a brush for future generations to look up to.

Later, the fairies all left, and the painting was still unfinished.

However, the ancestors of the Xu family never forgot about one of the fairies. He forgot to sleep and eat, and devoted himself to it. For the rest of my life, I was looking for all kinds of famous paper and paintings, collecting the colors of heaven and earth to find pictures of fairies.

... For many years, the ancestors of the Xu family suffered from depression and illness, but when they exhausted their last bit of effort, they completed this painting.

When the painting is completed, the spirit will appear.

When the painting took shape, the fairy in the sky seemed to sense the last obsession of Xu's ancestors, and finally appeared.

She was originally a fairy who was greedy for the mortal world, and saw that the Xu family ancestors created a beautiful home for herself in the painting, so she stayed in the mortal world and lived in the painting.

This painting has been passed down from generation to generation in the Xu family, but the fairy seldom shows up, causing everything in the past to become a legend.

...Later, when Ah Niu was about to starve to death, that fairy reappeared.

She said that she is a weaver.

It is a fairy who weaves colorful clouds in the heavenly palace. Because she is tired of the life that does not change day after day in the heaven, she comes to the mortal world to hide in the painting.

In this painting, she plows the land and raises chickens, enjoys flowers and water, and lives a leisurely and peaceful life.

"Weaver...is different from them..."

"I'm stupid... Zhiniang doesn't beat me...don't scold me..."

"...she...she taught me to cook, to grow vegetables...to raise chickens..."

Ah Niu happily counted on his fingers, and then became disappointed:

"But... Zhiniang is gone, I must be too stupid..."

"...I have to learn, learn to cook... I have to learn to take care of myself... Weaver will be back..."
