Chapter 21 — The peerlessly talented demon ba she (4)Â
Until meeting this little black snake today, watching it lay dying in the grass; Shi Kong unexpectedly acted of his own volition, and put the tiny snake inside his clothes.
Shi Kong has been traveling outside for a long time. When the day was nearing its end, he found a place to meditate and practice. A person who cultivated did not need to eat, and the clothes could be cleaned by a dust-cleaning technique. Therefore, even if he slept in the mountains or plains, Shi Kong did not care. Today, he took care of this injured little black snake and searched for a temple to stay in.
Shi Kong gently touched the head of the little black snake with a finger, his touch icy cold: “Tomorrow, I will send you back to the forest.”
Lu Heng’s heart sank; the benefactor wants to abandon me. He instinctively refused to leave the Shi Kong, not only because of Shi kong’s appearance or temperament, just when this monk meditated, Lu Heng felt that there was a feeling of being extremely comfortable around him. Although Lu Heng became a snake inexplicably, he did not adapt to life as a snake, but there was an instinct in his blood telling him, must be around Shi Kong.
However, the wish of a mere snake could not change anything. On the following day, Lu Heng was released to an uninhabited forest.
“Go.” Shi Kong caressed the head of the little black snake again, and placed him in the grass beside him.
Lu Heng heart started to beat anxiously, he opened his mouth and gently bit on to Shi Kong’s finger, trying to use his eyes to signal his reluctance to leave, but the other person gently pinched his mouth, and pried out finger from inside his mouth.
Shi Kong glanced at him, saw that the little black snake was full of vitality after having healed injuries, and finally turned away without any sign of nostalgia.
Lu Heng decided to secretly follow Shi Kong, hoping to catch up to this seemingly ice cold indifferent monk. After all, his scales were still very good-looking, and with hard work he could probably become the attendant of the senior monk. However, the lofty ambitions remained unfulfilled, as the figure in front of him was gone. Only the clamorous noise of a mountain bird lingered, ridiculing Lu Heng’s innocence.
This place seems to have immortals? Lu Heng rubbed his eyes hard; just now the figure draped in white robes in front of him just took three steps and disappeared from his sight. Is this the legendary shrinking the ground to an inch? Lu Heng felt that his three views were broken. He was hit in mid air, then passed through and became a snake. He completely accepted it. Now I find out that there are immortals in this world?
Lu Heng lay dazedly in the grass for a long while and felt himself growing hungry. What should a snake eat, frog? Forget it, that’s disgusting. Lu Heng looked up and found a bird’s nest on the tree top. Bird eggs should be ok.
Struggling with hardships and adapting to the movement without feet, Lu Heng finally came to the side of the bird’s nest. Looking at the white eggs in the bird’s nest, Lu Heng sadly discovered, he seemed to have no appetite, and even had a sense of disgust in his heart.
Lu Heng worked hard and tried to endure the nausea and swallow the bird’s egg, but it did not succeed. When he put the bird’s egg in his mouth, his instinct seemed to warn him that when he swallowed it something very bad would happen.
Am I going to die a starving snake? Lu Heng hooked his tail to the branch and swayed in the air with his head down, thinking about his life and death. Lu Heng thought that when he was with Shi Kong, he never ate. However, when Shi Kong was in meditation, Lu Heng will have a feeling of warmth, and then the feeling of hunger would disappear.
Considering the key points, in order to save his own life, Lu Heng embarked on a journey to find Shi Kong.
