Li Ning Ye didn't have the time to blame him for being rash. He stepped into the rear courtyard and saw a large red-scaled snake entrenched in the middle of the courtyard. It opened its mouth and spat out moonlight. When it saw him enter, it raised its body vigilantly and hissed incessantly.
The large snake's triangular head was as thick as a normal person's thigh. Its beautiful scales reflected a stream of light under the moonlight.
One didn't need to ask to know that this was an extremely poisonous snake of the highest quality. If someone who practiced poison in Jianghu saw it, they would definitely think of it as a treasure. However, to Li Ning, this kind of poison was exceptionally dangerous. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, this kind of strange poison usually had some special characteristics. Even he would fall into its trap if he wasn't careful.
Li Ning took out a plum blossom dart from his sleeve. At the same time, he had seven or eight hidden weapons ready. He had the nickname of the Tongbi Divine Ape because his sword skills were high and he could use all kinds of hidden weapons. He could attack and receive attacks. He carefully hid his body and shot out seven or eight hidden weapons. Even if the large snake was two times larger, it would still be killed.
"Absolutely not! Absolutely not! " The sloppy monk ran out from the side room and blocked in front of the large snake. He pretended to pat the large snake twice, and the red-scaled snake retracted its body and coiled up.
"This large snake was raised by the little Daoist since it was young. If you hit it, I'm afraid you'll be beaten out." The sloppy monk explained.
Before Li Ning could apologize, he heard the kid next to him shout, "Wow! So it's a snake raised by the people in this Daoist temple. Raising such a large snake in the courtyard, are they purposely trying to harm us? In my opinion, even if they aren't, they aren't good people either. They raise poisonous creatures and we live in the front courtyard. If a poisonous snake crawls over at night and harms us, would you pay with your lives? "
Wang Ming pulled out the rhinoceros-skinned long knife from his waist and walked towards the red-scaled snake, saying, "How can I turn a blind eye to such a vicious creature? Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens and behead it!"
The sloppy monk wanted to stop him, saying, "Without the little Daoist's orders, it will never leave this courtyard and will not harm you. I told you not to disturb us. You were frightened, how can you blame it on it? "
"What's the point of keeping such a harmful thing?" Wang Ming didn't listen to him and had already walked to the side of the red-scaled snake. The snake was startled and stood up straight, agitated by the Saber Qi in Wang Ming's hand. Without waiting for Li Ning to pull him back, it spat out a poisonous mist about three feet high. The grass and trees that came into contact with it quickly withered and turned yellow.
A fishy smell assaulted Wang Ming's nostrils. He immediately felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
Although Li Ning was annoyed at his rashness, he was still a nephew entrusted to him by his friend. He hurriedly went over to support him, but he saw that his eyes had already turned white and he was breathing weakly. It was obvious that he had been deeply poisoned and could not be easily detoxified using ordinary methods. Li Ning saw that there were no wounds on his body, so he used his inner force to press on his stomach and incessantly urged on it. At this time, Wang Ming finally reacted. He opened his mouth and spat out a large pile of filth, but his condition of being poisoned didn't improve at all. His breathing had already become rapid.
The sloppy monk came to his side and squatted down. He stretched out his hand and pressed on the vein on the side of Wang Ming's neck, rubbing it a few times to let him catch his breath. He said to Li Ning, "That red-scaled snake is a red-scaled snake. When it was only two or three inches long, it was caught by the silly little Daoist here. He kept it by his side and fed it some rice and insects every day. After a long time, it gradually grew. Because it often stayed by people's side, it became somewhat intelligent."
"When it grew to five feet long, its body gradually shed its skin and became scarlet red. However, its temperament became increasingly gentle and intelligent. It got rid of the poisonous aura of a poisonous snake. Apart from cultivating a mouthful of scarlet poisonous mist to protect itself, it had no other poison. Today, it was frightened by someone and sprayed it out to protect itself … so this nephew of yours didn't immediately die when he smelled the poisonous mist. "
"Great Master, do you have a way to save him?!" Li Ning couldn't care less about being astonished by such a strange occurrence and hurriedly cupped his fists and asked.
The sloppy monk shook his head and said, "Whoever tied the bell must untie it. Although this poison isn't strong, it has been refined by the red-scaled snake for many years, so how could it be ordinary? I have a way to keep him alive, but the residual poison has penetrated deep into his bones, so I can't do anything about it. From now on, the poison will attack at two in the afternoon every day, and his whole body will feel like it's on fire and he will be in unbearable pain. Furthermore, as the four seasons change and spring and autumn change, the poison will appear on his face in the form of a rash. "
Li Ning frowned and said, "We men don't care about our looks, but how can the poison not harm the body? Besides, he has to suffer two tortures every day. It really is worse than death. Great Master said that whoever tied the bell must untie it. I wonder where this person can untie it is? "
The sloppy monk pointed towards the great hall in the backyard and massaged Wang Ming's blood flow. After alleviating the poison, he left.
Chen Ang was meditating in the great hall when he suddenly sensed something crawling under him. He stretched out his hand and allowed it to climb up his body. The red-scaled snake intimately rubbed against his cheek, as if sensing the true water qi slowly flowing through his body. The snake's ice-cold body stuck close to his chest, dantian, and other important acupuncture points, comfortably absorbing the true qi that Chen Ang had lost.
After casually withdrawing the transcendence energy attached to the Three Pure Ones' holy statue, Chen Ang used the remaining transcendence energy on his right hand and slowly combed through the snake's entire body along its head. The transcendence energy of the Heavenly River washed over the red-scaled snake's body. Due to the poison it had just spat out earlier, the snake's somewhat dispirited spirit quickly recovered. It playfully chased after Chen Ang's fingers.
Its body circled between the five fingers, sticking closely to the strands of transcendence energy that had seeped into its body.
Chen Ang had quite a bit of affection for this little pet that he had raised when his Primordial Spirit was returning. He immediately sacrificed a few strands of transcendence energy and used the method of training mounts and pets in this world to forge a foundation for the snake.
At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling out from outside the courtyard, "Little Daoist, I am a passing tourist. I live in the front yard of the Daoist temple and I have something to ask of you. Are you in your room?"
Chen Ang already knew the cause and effect with just a thought. He immediately answered, "Since you are a guest from afar, push open the door and come in!"
Li Ning was slightly taken aback. He helped Wang Ming push open the door and entered. Seeing the red-scaled snake coiled on Chen Ang's knee, his eyelids twitched involuntarily. He forcefully suppressed his thoughts and cupped his fists towards Chen Ang, saying, "I am Li Ning, also known as the Tongbi Divine Ape. Together with my two brothers, they are collectively known as the Three Heroes of Qilu. Because I was accompanying a friend on an excursion to Qixia Mountain, I missed the time to leave the mountain, so I'm staying in your esteemed temple for the night."
"But this nephew of mine was reckless. He trespassed into the backyard without the owner's permission and was accidentally injured by the red-scaled snake that I reared. Now his injuries are critical, so I beg the owner of this place to save him."
"The Three Heroes of Qilu?" Chen Ang frowned.
Li Ning saw that Chen Ang's eyes were clear and bright, unlike what the sloppy monk had described him to be a foolish little Daoist. He suddenly became suspicious. Following the rules of Jianghu, he announced his name. Although this move was somewhat arrogant, the Three Heroes of Qilu had quite a bit of prestige in Jianghu, so he wanted to test Chen Ang.
But to Li Ning's disappointment, Chen Ang did not have any other reaction. He calmly shook his head, "I don't know you!"
Chen Ang went forward to check on Wang Ming's injuries and nodded, saying, "As expected, it was Mochou who injured him! Before the poison could accumulate in his heart and lungs, it was dispersed by someone using Qi, so his life wasn't in danger. But it has also flowed into his limbs and bones, making it even more troublesome to get rid of it … looks like you have offended that sloppy monk! "
Hearing this, Li Ning was stunned. He did not know what to say, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
He asked doubtfully, "Mochou? Is it this giant snake? Why is it called Mochou? "
