Orochi Longevity

A few wisps of blue smoke gathered in the landscape paintings, misty and hazy.

From a distance, it looks like there is fog in the mountains, which makes this simple landscape painting a bit more fairy-like.

At the same time, this painting has changed a little bit more than before.

It's just that the three people in the painting were only immersed in the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they didn't notice a black shadow in the landscape painting.

This black shadow is the snake.

Since the first ray of incense belonging to it was ignited, it has been completely reborn.

At this time, the snake, bathed in incense, feels extremely comfortable.

The epidermis, which has not shed for a long time, feels loose.

It undergoes transformation in the baptism of incense.

From then on, it is no longer just a beast, but a fairy!

The incense awakens the various abilities of the snake as a Baojiaxian.

One is the "shangxiang head" it has used once, that is, possessed.

It can turn its own consciousness into fairy energy and invade the flesh and blood of other living beings.

Although the transformed snake is still unable to forcibly recruit strong-willed people such as farmers and pregnant women, it is several times more powerful than before.

Immortal energy has many wonderful uses, so I won't mention it for now.

The second is concealment.

It can hide itself in the painting, or in the shadows.

As long as it hides intentionally, ordinary people will not be able to realize its existence at all.

The third is called subduing demons.

As a willow celestial being, the snake itself has the supernatural power to subdue demons, and is born to restrain all kinds of evil spirits.

It is no exception.

Leaving aside the fact that it is naturally immune to some demonic spells, there is a supernatural ability to subdue demons, which even itself is quite proud of.

That is, once it entangles its prey with its snake body, the demon will not be able to use it no matter how powerful it is.

If this method is used properly, it can kill any evil spirits.

Under the influence of incense, the snake sheds a layer of skin.

It swayed out of the old skin, directly doubling its size.

Today's snake is more than two meters long. The whole body of the snake is thick and powerful, and its strength is no longer comparable to that of a beast.

At this time, when it wagged its tail, it could faintly make a sound of piercing through the air.

It shows how powerful it is!

Moreover, its scales are slightly raised, and its luster is even stronger than that of metal.

This is the snake scale of the fairy body.

A mortal weapon will not be able to deal with it in the future.

The snake swam freely and shuttled in the incense, and there was joy in the cold pupils.

The snake is so happy!

Like the seeker in the story of the medicine picker, it has embarked on its own road to longevity.

Its lifespan has completely exceeded the limit of snakes. As long as the incense lasts forever, it can live forever!

And, with each additional year of life, it grows stronger.

In time, if it can survive a hundred or a thousand years, how strong will it be?

The snake is proud.

Swimming in the incense cloud for a while, it slowly quiets down.

The sharp blade hanging above his head finally disappeared, and the snake could finally relax.

Although transformed into a fairy body, it doesn't have to be like before, it must hibernate.

But the habit of being a snake makes it easy to become lazy in winter and not willing to move.

Moreover, winter is a season of rest.

When it comes to winter, don’t all creatures in the world, except humans, honestly “stop hiding”?

Even the most vigorous plants will rest and rest during this period, waiting for the opportunity to sprout again.

Only human beings like to go against nature and act against heaven and earth.

The snake swims into the thatched cottage in the painting, curls up, and yawns lazily.

It wept with joy when it saw the three people embracing each other tightly outside the picture.

Seeing them looking around carefully, their faces were full of doubts.

I saw the three of them go from fear to relief.

During this process, it watched coldly, without any movement.

Days passed, and the farmer's family returned to normal life.

It's just that the snake still seems to have lingering prestige in their hearts, and they kept silent about what happened that night.

Even if someone came to the house as a guest and asked the fairy altar out of curiosity, they prevaricated again and again.

On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the whole family behaved well and gave incense.

The winter moon is approaching the end of the new year, and there are many trivial matters.

Their Liujia Village has a good harvest this year, and the village is proposing to hold a big New Year's Festival to pray for good weather and a bumper harvest in the coming year.

Since ancient times, farmers have relied on the sky for food.

Such sacrificial activities are valued by the whole village, and the farmer's family is no exception.

The three of them quickly got busy, but temporarily forgot the cloud of the previous days.

Soon, every house was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

The earth covered in silver is lightly blushed by the lanterns, like a shy and timid girl in her teenage years.

Everyone in the village is beaming, and the food at home is much richer than before.

The snake noticed that the farmer's daughter had been hiding in the house because she was sick, so she avoided a lot of chores and ate many delicious pastries that she had never eaten before.

She told her parents that she was unwell, weak and needed to rest in bed.

But the snake clearly found that as long as no one came into the house, the little girl would happily eat all kinds of cakes and dried fruits. She was very happy, and she didn't look sick at all.

Girls should be glad that snakes are not as mischievous as foxes.

Otherwise, her life would not be so easy.

But life is always impermanent. If you don't go looking for trouble yourself, trouble will come to you.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a young woman with her head wrapped around her forehead, wearing a colorful gown, with red lips and white teeth, came to the farmer's house to match the girl.

The woman held her head high, her clothes were not as plain as the farmer's family, and her brows were not pleasing to the eye.

The farmer and his wife valued the visitor, so they immediately sat down and offered tea and cakes.

". How old is your girl? Why don't you call out and have a look."

The young woman didn't talk nonsense, and cut directly to the topic.

"My daughter is still young, only thirteen. A few days ago, she was caught in the wind and cold, so she didn't let her out."

The husband and wife laughed together and did not go to the house to call for someone.

On the contrary, the little girl heard the movement at this time, she had already quietly got up and listened in front of the door.

"Thirteen, not too young."

The young woman spat out the melon seeds, and looked at the farmer with a smile:

"I'm here this time, I think you know the purpose of coming, you girls, you are blessed! Master He Bo has taken a fancy to the daughter of the Ni family, and wants to marry her back and become a fairy wife!"

Hearing this, both husband and wife were taken aback.

The sleeping snake was awakened, and the invisible consciousness instantly filled the whole house.

This house is completely under its control.

It has a panoramic view of every detail.

Even a speck of dust cannot be avoided.

It is the protector of the home, even in sleep, it can provide shelter for the home.

After a while, the pregnant mother asked tentatively:

"Grandma Xiangu, didn't Master He Bo just marry back three little girls? Why do you still want to marry now? Besides"

"Since ancient times, there has only been one wife. How can there be four wives? Although my family is poor, I don't want my daughter to marry and be wronged."

The matchmaker's face remained unchanged, and he still persuaded softly:

"The rules of our mortals, how can we control the gods? I, Liu Cuihong, can guarantee you with my wealth and life. When your daughter is married, she will be treated the same as the previous ones."

"Master He Bo treats everyone equally."

The mother wanted to say something, but the matchmaker first grabbed her hand and patted it reassuringly, and said:

"My good sister, you can rest assured."

"If any official or lord takes a fancy to your daughter, I won't come to the door. I have to tell you well, I don't ask you to agree, because the life in the back house is hard, I know it very well."

"It's different now. The one we want to marry is a fairy! If we marry in the past, we will really live a fairy life."

"Just look at the delicacies, rare tonics, and silks and satins that have been dragged into Master Hebo's cave this year by truckloads, and you can see how easy the life of the three fairy maidens is now."

"I'm afraid the officials and wives in the city will not envy you."
