The Disciple’s Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 148

[Chapter 148 What should I do if I am bitten by a five-step snake?]

Daxu stopped practicing, opened her eyes, looked around, and found that everyone was asleep. She was also very sleepy, so she sneaked into Li Xu’s bed.

This time she was no longer reserved, and went to sleep in Li Xu’s arms.

Li Xu opened his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at her cheek quietly.

Didn’t you agree not to come in?

Seeing that he was staring at her, Daxu stretched out her little hand, closed his eyes, and signaled him not to make any unnecessary movements and go to bed quickly.

Li Xu looked at the little Daxu in his arms, reached out and touched her head, couldn’t help but kiss her forehead, and hugged her tighter. He

said good night in his heart and quickly fell asleep.

Late at night, around one or two o’clock in the morning, bursts of coldness invaded, Li Xu suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a black moon.

The black moon hung in the sky, shining with strange colors, and he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a hand reaching out from the black moon.

But when he looked carefully, everything returned to normal. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, making the environment here gloomy and cold.

He noticed that the entire palace had disappeared.

The place where he was lying was a desolate ruin.

There were broken stones everywhere, and countless animal skeletons were displayed here. Li Xu saw the National Master of the Kingdom of Women hugging a skull and sleeping, and he was sleeping soundly. The

third son of the Demon Cave was holding a skeleton’s foot in his hand and licking his lips. He was kissing the skeleton’s foot. He had a strong taste.

Others also had different actions, but no one noticed the abnormality here.

Li Xu retracted his gaze and continued to look around. Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be a sound breathing in the air, but when he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, the sound disappeared completely.

Li Xu first woke up Daxu, and then woke up everyone else.

“Ah…” The National Master of the Kingdom of Women screamed, and was so scared that she smashed the skull in her hand into pieces.

She didn’t expect that she was sleeping so deeply and hugging a skull. She was so scared that tears almost splashed out.

Of course, the most excited person was the Third Young Master of the Demon Cave.

The foot of the skeleton he was licking looked like a male. Although he did not make any screams, he ran to the side and vomited.

His face turned extremely pale and he was still nauseous. His eight maids came forward to check on him and comfort him.

The Third Young Master of the Demon Cave waved his hand and gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t we live in the palace? How come we are in such a dilapidated wilderness?”

No one could answer his question. The sword fairy Luo Yabai, the mute girl who never spoke, and the Miaodou girl were all looking at the environment here.

This is just a dilapidated ruin. There is no magnificent palace at all. Could it be that the palace yesterday was an illusion?

Countless people were suspicious.

But how did they do it?

If it was an illusion, they would definitely notice it instantly.

It was definitely not an illusion, but they didn’t know what went wrong. They racked their brains, but they couldn’t think of the root of the problem.

They walked in the ruins, observing the bones and skeletons on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

However, there was no clue in the end.

Two hours passed like this, and suddenly the black moon in the sky turned into a red moon.

The broken ground here began to change, with bones as the skeleton and broken stones as the foundation, and gradually a magnificent palace reappeared in front of them.

Various myths and legends were carved on the walls of the palace.

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn’t speak, because this scene happened simply out of thin air, just like a dream, and this scene was completed in an instant.

“This mountain is too weird, let’s continue on the road.” Sword Immortal Luo Yabai suggested that he felt that this place should not be stayed for a long time and had to leave quickly.

Everyone agreed that this scene was too bizarre and outrageous, and if they didn’t leave, they were afraid of complications.

Seeing them leave one by one, Li Xu stretched out his hand, pulled Xiao Daxu, and said, “Let’s go too.”

Daxu nodded, and the little monk followed.

They started their journey across the Santu River again. There was a red moon in the sky, and the red moon poured on the ground, making the water surface with a faint blood color.

After only half an hour, everyone heard a rumbling sound, and a terrifying scene appeared in front of them. The river water in front of them rolled up like waves.

The waves were surging, and the waves of thousands of feet were rolling. The black river water rushed over, and countless tornadoes appeared in the water.

The third son of the Demon Cave and the sword fairy Luo Yabai were about to appear, and then they saw huge monsters appearing in the rolling waves.

These monsters were huge, hundreds of feet long, with dark bodies and colorful patterns on their bodies.

The waves and the monsters rushed over at the same time, and everyone was stunned and had no power to resist.

Li Xu was about to take action, intending to resist the waves and monsters that were about to submerge him.

The little monk stopped him: “Don’t do it, there is a problem here. Do you see the whirlpool in the waves?”

Li Xu said: “I see it.”

“Ignore the waves and rush in.” The little monk.

“Why?” Li Xu asked.

“I have seen some records in ancient books that the whirlpool in the Santu River is also the entrance between the two worlds of life and death. I think things like the Sansheng Flower must be in the area where the two worlds of life and death meet.” The little monk put his hands together, his eyes moist.

“You know all these rumors?” Li Xu looked at him in surprise.

“I just read a lot of books.” The little monk smiled, “If you want to do every job well, you must read a lot of books.”

“I have read a lot of books, why haven’t I heard of this rumor?” Li Xu asked.

“The most complete record of the events in the Santu River is in the pagoda in the Buddhist capital. I was also fortunate to enter the pagoda once and accidentally read these secrets. Regardless of these, let’s go to the whirlpool immediately.”

“Okay.”

Li Xu drove the bronze coffin to break through the waves in front of him, took the initiative to rush into the waves, and instantly rushed towards the huge black whirlpool. There

seemed to be thunder in the black whirlpool, and white lightning was dancing.

Just when they arrived at the edge of the whirlpool, before they had time to rush in, there was an extremely powerful suction in the whirlpool, sucking them in.

Li Xu was worried that little Daxu would be crushed by the power of the vortex, so he held her in his arms.

In an instant, they appeared in the vortex. It

was dark inside, and the vortex kept spinning, and strange power surged out, two different powers, the boundary between life and death.

The breath of life and the breath of death surrounded Shenzhou.

Li Xu’s spiritual power surged out to protect Daxu.

The little monk’s body burst into golden light, and the mark between his eyebrows flashed vermilion. His hands twisted the Buddhist beads, and the golden Buddhist sound spread around, as if a big Buddha was whispering in his ear.

The vortex was full of darkness. I don’t know how long it took, and the dazzling white light pierced through.

The vortex disappeared.

They fell straight down, but soon they could use their spiritual power to stay in the air.

The little monk was surprised and said, “Flying is not prohibited in the air here.”

At this time, Li Xu held Daxu and landed on the top of a branch, standing her on the leaves.

He began to look at the environment here, which was completely different from the environment above.

It was particularly bright here, and there was a bright sun in the sky.

Li Xu observed the time through his internal vision system and found that it was exactly around 9 o’clock. It seemed that the time here was about the same as the outside world.

The sun in the sky dazzled everything, illuminating the whole world. Li Xu lowered his head and saw an endless sea of forests below.

Suddenly, Li Xu heard the sound of fighting in the jungle not far away.

The three of them landed on the ground and rushed over.

The two monsters with human bodies and bull heads came into view. They were about two meters tall, with muscles bursting all over their bodies and red light wrapped around their bodies.

Opposite them were several monsters with mouse ears, thin bodies, and sharp claws.

Xiao Da’er touched her head: “Brother, what kind of monster is this? Why is it different from Qingqiu? Did they fail to transform?”

Li Xu said: “It’s just the bison tribe and the rat tribe, which is different from the monsters.”

The two bison tribes fought with several rat tribes. The ground cracked, and the surrounding forests were destroyed by them, and the power continued to bloom.

“The rat tribe is so bold that they dare to rob our bison tribe’s offerings. They are really courting death.”

The bison tribe looked at the rat tribe opposite, their faces gradually became angry, and white smoke came out of their noses.

“What do you mean by robbing? This forest belongs to everyone, and your offerings are also the products of this forest. Why do you say they are yours?” The thirteenth team leader’s eyes radiated green light, without the slightest fear.

“Aren’t you afraid of angering the evil spirit?” the bison roared.

“If you don’t hand over the things, the bison tribe can’t even think about participating in the evil spirit banquet.” The thirteenth team leader looked at the small basket in the hands of the bison tribe.

The small basket was covered with a white cloth, and it was impossible to see what was in the basket.

The bison tribe’s eyes gradually wanted to spit out flames: “You are bullying the cow too much. My bison tribe will definitely report to the evil spirit and kill your entire rat tribe!”

“You can talk about it if you survive.” The thirteenth team leader waved his hand, and several skilled rat tribe members quickly rushed out to fight.

The bison tribe’s power was crazy, and the rat tribe was very fast. They kept dodging, and they were inseparable.

The surrounding forests were quickly destroyed by them. The bison tribe was powerful and strong, and every time they attacked, they could exert heavy force. The rat tribe relied on their sharp speed and movements to dodge quickly, and the bison tribe could not hit them every time.

“Should we help?” Dali asked.

“Who do you want to help? Do you think they are the righteous side? We can’t judge who is right and who is wrong based on their words. This is a battle between races. We should not meddle in other people’s business and just watch.” Li Xu said softly.

Dali nodded and said nothing more.

About an incense stick of time passed, the bison tribe with super strong combat power was dragged down by the rat tribe, and then tore the bison tribe to pieces with sharp claws.

“The bison tribe relies on its strong physique and powerful strength to suppress our rat tribe every day, leaving us with only a tiny living space. They deserve it this time.”

“But, Team Leader Thirteen, these two bison tribes are going to the evil spirit banquet. If we kill them, will it anger the evil spirit?”

“What are you afraid of? The Evil Spirit Banquet doesn’t care who gives the offerings. They only care about the offerings. As long as the offerings are in place, everything will be fine. Go over and see if the things in the small basket are what we want?” said Team Leader Thirteen.

One of the tall and thin rat people took two steps forward and reached out to uncover the things in the small basket, wanting to see what it was.

Then hissing…

a poisonous snake opened its mouth and bit his hand directly. In an instant, the tribe member fell to the ground.

“Team Leader Thirteen, we have been tricked. This is not the real bison tribe. This is the bison illusion of the bison tribe.” A rat tribe member saw the bison tribe member who was broken by them turned into powder and dissipated between heaven and earth.

“It turns out that the bison tribe has guessed that our rat tribe will attack them on the way to the Evil Spirit Banquet.” Team Leader Thirteen gritted his teeth and said.

“Team Leader Thirteen, I feel uncomfortable all over.” Countless red dots appeared on the body of the person bitten by the poisonous snake, and his whole body became hot.

“You two hold him, let’s go quickly.” The thirteenth team leader of the rat tribe asked his men to hold him, and he had just taken four steps.

The rat tribe member bitten by the snake fell directly to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and kicked his legs.

“Team leader 13, he is convulsing all over, rolling his eyes, and is about to die.”

“What kind of snake is this?” Team leader 13 stared at the snake on the ground and felt that the color of the snake on the ground was colorful black, flashing a deliberate light.

He took a deep breath and asked, “Is this a five-step snake?”

“It really is a five-step snake.” A rat tribe member looked horrified.

“I heard that after being bitten by a five-step snake, you can only walk five steps. But don’t be nervous, I also heard that as long as you let this snake bite you every four steps, you can go home safely.”

Team leader 13 said, “Are you stupid? You want to kill him. Bite one more time, don’t let him walk, don’t you just carry him and walk?”

“Team leader 13 is wise.” Other rat tribe members praised him.

“Don’t talk nonsense, carry him back quickly.”

As soon as the team leader finished speaking, the tribe member who fell to the ground struggled a few times like he had chicken plague, twitching constantly, and foaming at the mouth.

In the end, he was out of breath.

They were all stunned, and suddenly realized that the five-step snake did not refer to the number of steps, but the short time.

Several people looked at each other, speechless for a while.

I didn’t expect that this tribe member died so tragically. Watching him leave the world like this, it was really sad and tearful.

At this moment, a rat tribe member suddenly rushed out from a distance. He looked like a child. He was panting, holding his knees and shouting:

“Team leader Thirteen, we have people here.”

“What are they?” Team leader Thirteen asked blankly. “It’s

a human, a living human. A human broke in here and was captured by the tribe leader. There are also many beautiful women.”

“Is it true?” Team leader Thirteen asked.

“Really, they are very beautiful, just like fairies who have come down to earth. We are discussing how to divide the wives.”

“Our clan leader said that we will take the beautiful ones first and let our people enjoy them, and give the ugly ones to the evil spirits as offerings.”

“Come back soon. If you come back slowly, you may not get a share.”

“Great.”

The Thirteenth Team Leader’s eyes lit up, and his teeth protruding from his mouth flashed with the luster of wisdom. He thought to himself: “No wonder he can be the clan leader.”

It turns out that every decision he made was very correct.

He swallowed his saliva, stepped on the eight-character step, shook his arms, and said with a wretched face: “Girls, let me teach you how to be a ‘human’.” I

was not in good shape today. I sat for an afternoon and an evening and wrote 4,000 words. Tomorrow I will write 10,000 words. Remember to supervise.
