Orochi Longevity

"All right……"

Erya suddenly looked at the swordsman with dissatisfied eyes.

If there is no mistake, Thirteen thinks that there seems to be a hint of... jealousy in the eyes of the other party?

The sudden change made the swordsman vigilant.

However, before he could react, the girl seemed to have been sucked out of her soul, her whole body softened, and she lowered her head and shrugged.

Immediately afterwards, she suddenly opened her eyes again, and looked at the swordsman with icy eyes.

These eyes were cold, gloomy, without a trace of emotion.

Moreover, it gave him the illusion of being targeted by hunters.

The girl in front of her seemed to be different from before.

Thirteen's right hand quietly touched the hilt of the sword, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"You have a familiar smell."

At this time, the girl spoke.

However, her voice has changed a lot compared to before.

This low and majestic feeling, when put together with the girl herself, has a very serious sense of disharmony.

The snake appeared with the help of the girl's body.

"Who are you?"

Thirteen opened his mouth, his voice hoarse.

"I?"

The girl looked at him condescendingly:

"You don't have to know who I am, just know that I can help you."

Seeing that Thirteen had no words, the snake continued:

"That bloody handkerchief was brought back from the Hebo Cave Mansion by me."

It resisted the urge to spit out the letter.

"I can take you to Hebo Cave Mansion, and I can also help you find that little girl."

Thirteen was stunned for a moment, and slowly relaxed his tense arms.

Yes.

Before coming to Liujia Village, the Gu family had already explained everything they knew about Hebo in detail.

He knew that the evildoer was not simple.

How can it be easy for someone who can enter the Hebo Cave Mansion and retrieve the bloody handkerchief?

He originally thought that the one who was different was the girl in front of him.

Now that he found out that there was another expert behind the girl, although he was surprised, he was not surprised.

"what do you want?"

The reason why Thirteen was so vigilant was because the person in front of him didn't give him a good feeling.

Some are too cold and eerie.

"...Tell me, why can you take human form and speak human words...?"

That's right.

Swordsman Thirteen is not very human, it is a spirit.

While Arya was talking with the swordsman, the snake kept spying on him.

In the end, it finally confirmed its speculation.

As soon as he returned to the house from outside, the snake smelled a very strange smell on this person.

That smell is a bit familiar, it has been encountered many times in the mountains, and I can't remember it wrong.

But it's very strange, and it doesn't understand why it smells this way on a human swordsman.

So the snake activated the supernatural powers of subduing demons with fairy energy, and it really felt a faint desire to hunt in its heart.

This is Liu Xian's natural reaction when he encounters a spirit.

It is finally determined that the swordsman is not human.

As soon as the snake's words fell, Thirteen, who had always been silent in the ancient well, stood up suddenly:

"..."

His voice became hoarse:

"How did you find out?"

The snake has a cold expression:

"As I said, the smell on your body is very familiar. If I remember correctly, you and your group are called monkeys."

"Answer me and tell me about your experience."

"In exchange, I will help you realize your wish."

Snake's tone is always steady.

It didn't let the swordsman discover the urgency in his heart.

In fact, the snake wants to know the answer to the question.

This is the first time he has encountered a similar creature that can communicate with it normally and does not pose a threat to him.

Although the snake broke through the limit of life span and embarked on the road of cultivation.

But it has only a half-knowledge about cultivation.

The snake knows too little about this world, and it desperately wants to know more.

As for He Bo, it originally planned to solve it.

Now it's just a little more effort to find Gu Xiaomei.

It is definitely a very cost-effective business to exchange information with the swordsman.

Although the snake is not proficient in bargaining with people, it knows that it cannot let others grasp its weaknesses and understand its desires.

It needs to be hidden.

Fortunately, snakes are very good at this.

Next, it didn't move any more, just watched the swordsman silently, waiting for the other party's reply.

"call……"

After staring at the girl for a while, Thirteen finally sat back in his original position.

He took a few sips of tea to calm down, and finally he was no longer so excited.

"Okay, I'll tell you."

"...More than 20 years ago, I was arrested by monkey trainers..."

Swordsman Thirteen let his eyes go blank, recalling the past.

At that time, he was still a young monkey, living in the mountains with his relatives, eating wild fruits and drinking mountain springs every day, enjoying himself leisurely and happily.

But one day, when he was playing with his mother, he was suddenly caught by a big net.

In order to save him, his mother fought with the man who laid the net, and was wounded and fled.

From then on, Thirteen was taken out of the forest by the monkey trainer and became a tool used by the other party to make a living.

He put on chains and performed on the street all day long.

Monkeys like him, there are many monkey trainers out there.

For monkey trainers, monkeys are only divided into two types: useful or useless.

The obedient and smart monkeys stayed and focused on training them.

A cruel and surly monkey, just kill it casually.

During those years when Shisan was performing on the street, he saw too many people of his own family being beaten and killed at will and lost their lives.

So it's discreet and puts on a show.

The life of performing arts is not easy, people sometimes cheer, sometimes indifferent.

If he earns more coins, the monkey trainer will naturally smile.

But if the copper coins are not enough, the monkey trainer will be like Shura, very scary.

Even someone as smart as him is often reduced to a tool for the monkey trainer to vent his anger, being kicked and beaten by him.

"Later, I found an opportunity to sneak out... It was during that time of wandering that I met Miss Gu."

"I've met many people on the street, but I think everyone is hideous. Only Ms. Gu, no matter how you like it, no matter how you look at it, you can't get enough of it."

When Thirteen spoke, he was not as cold and blunt as a snake.

He is very emotional and full of "humanity".

Snake felt that this had something to do with his years of wandering around the streets.

Shisan fell in love with Gu Xiaomei.

But he was ashamed of himself like a man.

He hated himself for being precarious, hating himself for being humble.

Hate myself for being short in stature, hating myself for being covered in hair, and hating myself for not being able to speak.

Gu Xiaomei once said that she likes swordsmen and knights who hate evil and uphold justice.

So, he went to practice swords.

I hope that one day, I can become a hero among storytellers.

At that time, he can marry Gu Xiaomei.

He used to hate sword dancing.

Because every time he danced the sword, he was forced by the monkey trainer to juggle in the street.

Later he liked to dance swords.

Because his sword is danced for the one he loves.

"...I wandered around and made a living as a sword dancer and juggler."

"I have been practicing this sword for thirteen years, and I never stop every day!"

"Since last winter, my sword has been humming every night. I know that Ms. Gu must need me."

"So I rushed back day and night."

"The moment I knocked on the door of Gu's house, I realized that all the hair on my body had fallen off, and I could still speak human words."

"I named myself Sword Thirteen, I just hope I don't forget who my sword is dancing for."
