The woman was young and wore a seven-colored feather crown. There were many silver ornaments on her body and her clothes were very revealing. She did not look like a woman from the Central Plains.
She always had a coquettish smile on her face and there was a snake totem on her exposed skin. As she walked, a pair of silver bells jingled around her ankles, disturbing people's minds.
If one were to look carefully, one would find that the dark green footwear with bells on it was actually a pair of tiny snakes that were the size of fingers.
The butler did not dare to look at her and said respectfully, "Snake Mother, we have arrived!"
The snake mother smiled and said, "We passed by the village along the way. You have heard the rumors. Feng Zhihong is probably dead now!"
"The Feng Residence will not be destroyed in such a short time. Those unruly people must be talking nonsense. Please kill that Xu Xian." The butler looked like he wanted to believe it but did not dare to believe it.
The snake mother said, "I heard that Xu Xian is the number one scholar of the Xia Dynasty. I would like to meet him. However, he is the county magistrate, so it will be a little troublesome!"
"Your magic is amazing, how can you be afraid of a mere mortal!" The butler had seen the many incredible powers of the snake mother. It was impossible for a mortal to resist.
The snake mother said contemptuously, "Frog at the bottom of a well. As the county magistrate, he has his own destiny!
If it was in the past when the destiny of the Xia Dynasty was not over, I would not dare to act rashly to avoid the backlash. Now, what is there to be afraid of?
This Feng Zhihong can be considered to have contributed a lot to me. If he is killed, I will naturally avenge him. "
"Thank you, Snake Mother. Let's quickly return to the Feng Residence to see my master. I saw that the lights are still on there. The Feng Residence must be safe."
The snake mother looked at the sky. It was almost dusk. She said, "Let's go to the city and get Xu Xian's head first. Then, we will go to the Feng Residence and present it to your master!"
She hissed and many sounds of agreement came from behind. Who knew how many snakes were hiding in the dark forest.
The butler felt numb. How could he dare to say no?
The snake mother suddenly raised her hand and caressed his face, "Thank you for bringing me so far."
"No … no need to thank me!"
The housekeeper was so frightened that his heart couldn't help but ripple. His eyes didn't dare to look at her face, so he kept looking at her body. How could there be such a seductive woman among the Han people?
He knew that the Snake Mother's position in the stronghold was very high, but barbarian women did not care about their reputation. If they liked you, it was not a big deal to have sex with you. He thought, "Is she in love and wants to relieve her boredom with me?"
At dusk, in this dark and dense forest, his heart was filled with excitement.
"We've walked such a long way. My darling is hungry. Can you help me for a while?" The Snake Mother smiled seductively. Suddenly, she took a step back and hissed.
In the dark and dense forest, a strong fishy wind suddenly blew, accompanied by the sound of rustling grass and trees. A snake head flew out and opened its bloody mouth, revealing four dagger-like fangs.
The smell of blood assaulted his nostrils, causing the housekeeper to wake up from his wet dream. He reached out to pull out the saber on his waist, but it was too late. The large snake swallowed him from head to toe. He didn't even have the chance to scream.
The group of snakes quieted down. Only the hissing sound of the large snake could be heard, as if a subject was facing a king.
The King Snake's body was still hidden in the dense forest. It was unknown how long it was.
The Snake Mother touched the snake's head, "I know you're not full. There's plenty of food at the foot of the mountain!"
The large snake carried the Snake Mother on its back and slithered down the mountain. From head to tail, it was more than ten feet long. The thickest part was as thick as a water tank.
Yun Yan was currently disguised as Xu Xian, handling official business in the county government. Since that day, Xu Xian had given her the position of the county magistrate. She was also very interested in it. As a woman, most of the time, she couldn't even make decisions for herself. But now, she was able to command a group of yamen servants and handle the difficult official business clearly. This made her feel very proud.
What made her rejoice was that Xu Xian didn't tease her like last time in the hall.
So that she could peacefully show off her authority as an official.
It was getting late, so she ordered the yamen servants to close the yamen. The sedan bearers were already waiting outside to send her to the mountain outside the city, to her new mansion.
Suddenly, a strange-looking woman stood in front of the yamen and blocked her way. She asked, "Are you Xu Xian?"
One of the bailiffs angrily rebuked, "How dare you call my lord by his name. Hurry up and kneel!"
Yun Yan asked, "Are you going to complain?"
The Snake Mother looked at Yun Yan and said, "Seeing that you're so tall, you must have a lot of meat on your body. Just enough for my baby to eat her fill."
Seeing that she was being so rude, the bailiffs stepped forward to take her down. But as soon as they touched her wrist, they let out a cry and retracted their hands. They saw that the bracelet on her wrist had turned into a poisonous snake, hissing and flicking its tongue.
The two poisoned bailiffs' faces turned green and fell to the ground.
The other bailiffs were furious and stepped forward with their knives, spears and sticks.
"Snake, there's a snake!" The bailiffs at the front screamed and fell to the ground, rolling and crawling backwards.
The other bailiffs didn't care at all. Living in the miasma of Lingnan, who hadn't seen a snake before? How could they be so scared?
When they saw where the first bailiffs pointed, they couldn't help but be shocked. They saw a snake that was about the size of a human in front of the yamen and was about to leap over the barbarian woman's shoulder.
The bailiffs had never seen such a big snake before, so they all threw down their weapons and turned around to escape.
"Xu Xian, today is the day you die!" The Snake Mother let out a shrill laugh and commanded the big snake to pounce on Yun Yan.
Yun Yan cried out and also turned around to escape. She easily passed the bailiffs, which made the bailiffs' eyes widen. The county magistrate ran so fast!
Even the Snake Mother was stunned. She thought to herself, "This Xu Xian really does have some skills."
Yun Yan passed through the back of the hall and came out from the back door. She closed the door behind her and said in shock, "What a big snake!"
The back door was smashed open by the snake's head. The Snake Mother rode on the snake's body and shouted, "Die!" Before she could finish her sentence, Yun Yan had already run far away. "Stop right there!"
Of course, Yun Yan wouldn't stop. She went straight out of the city gate and ran towards the villa on the mountain.
She didn't have much combat experience, so she panicked when she saw such a big snake. Moreover, she didn't even practice many spells. Although she could use the sound of the zither to fight the enemy, she didn't have the three famous zithers with her. Moreover, she was afraid that if she stopped running, she would be swallowed by the big snake.
Fortunately, she had a high level of cultivation. She instilled her internal energy into her feet, so her speed wasn't slow.
She ran until she was halfway up the mountain and stopped, panting. She held her knees to rest.
The Snake Mother rode on the snake and chased after her desperately. The snake's movement was better than the human's, so she gradually closed the distance between them. Suddenly, she saw Yun Yan stop. She was overjoyed and was about to urge the big snake to swallow her.
Yun Yan took a deep breath and shouted, "Xu Hanwen, if you don't come out, I'll really be angry!"
The big snake pounced on her, but she didn't look at it or avoid it. She stood there in a huff, and her face seemed to say, "If you don't feel bad, you can just eat it."
Xu Xian descended from the sky and said with a smile, "It's not proper to call your husband's name like this."
Just now, when Xu Xian returned to the room, he saw Bai Suzhen sewing a small dress. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "My wife, the eight characters haven't even taken shape yet. It's too early for you to prepare!"
"Anyway, I have to do it sooner or later," Bai Suzhen said without raising her head.
Xu Xian sat on the bed and picked up a pair of delicate tiger-head shoes. He couldn't help but laugh, "My wife, do you think we should let Xiaoqing and the others come?"
He didn't know when danger would come, so he didn't want them to be in danger with him. If they couldn't solve it with their strength, it wouldn't help even if they added them. He thought so.
Bai Suzhen stopped sewing and smiled, "Hasn't the official already made a decision?
Don't hurt their hearts. "
Xu Xian smiled and lay on the bed.
Because it was such a big crisis, he couldn't hide it from the people closest to him.
If he waited until everything was over to tell them the truth, they would be able to understand, but how would they feel?
He felt a little strange in his heart. It had been some time since Avalokitesvara bestowed the morning dew. He didn't let her consume the morning dew, and with the mana of that Bodhisattva, she should already know.
But the crusade from the Celestial Court didn't come. Was it because of his wife's strength, or because the efficiency was too low, or maybe there was an accident?
All kinds of inferences lingered in his mind, but he couldn't be sure. He couldn't help but want to find Yu Xuanji to ask about his fate.
Xu Xian suddenly smiled and said, "Should we tell them about the child?"
Bai Suzhen immediately said, "Don't say it!" Her face was a little red.
Xu Xian said, "But if we don't tell them about such an important matter, wouldn't it hurt their hearts?"
"The eight characters haven't taken shape yet, what's there to say? I said don't say it, so don't say it." Bai Suzhen glared at Xu Xian, and her face became even redder. Her hands grabbed the small dress in her hands.
"I won't say it." Xu Xian knew that she couldn't do anything when she was shy.
Bai Suzhen suddenly raised her head and listened for a while. "Some strange people are coming, and they're going for Yan 'er."
Xu Xian immediately came to the yamen, but he couldn't help but find it funny when he saw Yun Yan running away in a hurry. He went down to treat the two bailiffs who were poisoned, and the bailiffs were stunned. They thought that Xu Xian was really fast.
Xu Xian went out and flew to the sky again. He followed Yun Yan, but he didn't go down to help until she stopped and shouted.
Yun Yan said, "At least you still have some conscience!"
"Two Xu Xian's?" The snake mother was shocked and shouted again, "Then go and die together!" She ordered the big snake to continue biting.
But the big snake suddenly curled up and coiled up in its original place. No matter how the snake mother ordered it, it didn't move. It just raised its head and looked at the mountain peak, and there was a hint of flattery in its behavior.
The snake mother looked up and saw a woman in white standing on the carved tower at the mountain peak. She couldn't see her face clearly from afar.
He was infuriated and raised his wrists. Two poisonous snakes shot out from his wrists like arrows, but Xu Xian's figure had disappeared before his eyes. He heard a voice behind him saying, "Save it!"
Xu Xian hit her neck and knocked her out.
