Xu Lian returned to the house and lay down with his eyes closed, but he did not fall asleep. When he heard Wang Cuiyun clean up the kitchen and go back to sleep, he got up and walked towards the garden in the backyard.
In order to fulfill the agreement, they would visit the lonely demons and monsters in the old well every once in a while to prevent them from going crazy and causing trouble.
"Sister, sister is here to see you."
Xu Lian pinched his throat, but in fact it didn't matter whether he pinched his throat or not. He guessed that the monster in the old well was probably having a problem with his brain, and was a bit cold in the well.
Sure enough, as soon as they heard his voice, the demons and monsters in the old well started to cry as if they had been injected with chicken blood, "Sister, you finally came to see me again."
Xu Lian said, "Sister said that as long as you stay quiet in there, sister will come to see you every once in a while."
The voice in the old well asked, "Has sister's injury healed? Have you escaped the siege of the powerful enemy?"
I have a good memory... Xu Lian coughed twice, "My old wounds haven't healed yet, and I have new ones. There are more and more powerful enemies around me. I am almost at the end of my rope. I am afraid I will not be able to survive. Do you really have no secret method to heal my wounds? Or some elixir or treasure will do to help me get through this difficult time."
The voice in the old well cried loudly, "I really have nothing and can't help my sister. Sister, please come to the well to avoid the limelight. No one can find you here."
You always want to trick me into going down into the well, but there's no way... Xu Lian sneered in his heart, but said, "Sister, I went through a lot of hardships to escape from the well. Even if I die, I will die gloriously and will never go back to the well."
The sound coming from the old well was inconsolable, like a young girl sobbing or a baby crying. As soon as you heard it, you knew it was coming from a demon or monster.
"I'll ask you one last time, is there really no treasure in the well? Even a small treasure might be able to help me a little."
Xu Lian was too lazy to talk to it anymore, so he turned and left while talking.
The voice in the old well cried, "Sister, I really don't have anything. If I had anything, how could I not give it to you? In this well, besides me, there is only a lock that locks me up, and some weeds that may have absorbed your breath and grown into Heavenly Snake Grass. There is nothing else."
Sky Snake Grass? Xu Lian couldn't help but pause and turned back.
Although I don’t know what the Heavenly Snake Grass is, I should be able to sell it for some spirit stones, right
etc!
Snake grass
Some weeds absorbed the breath of its sister and grew into snake grass
It seems that its sister must be a snake demon.
Xu Lian had asked it what it looked like before, and it said it was pitch black, with a body made up of segments. So it seemed like it might really be a centipede monster.
The snake demon and the centipede demon were sealed in this old well and became sisters, quite a match.
“I didn’t expect that some of the weeds back then absorbed my aura and turned into Sky Snake Grass.”
Xu Lian said, "Can you throw the Heavenly Snake Grass up? My vitality is seriously damaged and my breath is disordered. Maybe I can absorb some of the breath from the Heavenly Snake Grass and replenish it."
The voice in the old well said, "Sister, there is a restriction in this well. I can't throw it up, but ordinary people can draw water from the well without being restricted by this restriction. Sister, you can put down a bucket, and I will try my best to pull some Sky Snake Grass and put it in it, and then you can pull it up."
Xu Lian did not do as he was told immediately, but instead began to wonder if this was a trick.
What if the monsters and demons in the old well need something to climb up
If he put the bucket down, wouldn't he be helping the demons and monsters to come up
This way, he is finished.
Wang Cuiyun also died...
He thought about it carefully and felt that it should not be a trick.
Why
Because this house originally belonged to the Pei family, someone often took care of it and often drew water from the well to irrigate the flowers and plants in the back garden. If the demons and monsters in the old well could climb up with the help of the water bucket, they would have done so long ago.
"I'll put the bucket down, and my sister will try to get some snake grass."
Xu Lian picked up the bucket of water at the wellhead, threw it in, then dragged the rope away.
Holding the rope in one hand and the purple jade token in the other, if he found something wrong, he would immediately ask for help from the White Fox Mine Patrol.
Of course, if an accident really happens, I might not be able to make it in time... This is just a psychological comfort.
"Click!" Suddenly, the rope became tight, as if something heavy was pressing on the bucket. Even if it was a full bucket of water, it shouldn't be that heavy, right
This made Xu Lian's face change drastically, "Sister, what are you doing!"
An innocent girl's voice came from the old well, "I put the snake grass in the bucket, you can pull it up now."
Xu Lian was puzzled, "Why is it so heavy? How much did you put in?"
The voice from the old well said, "The Snake Grass is heavier than steel. I only put one plant there. If I put more, the bucket wouldn't be able to bear it. Sister, pull it up first, and then put the bucket down."
Xu Lian hesitated.
I don’t know whether I should believe it.
After much thought, I still believe in my own judgment. If it could climb up along the bucket, it would have come up long ago and would not have to wait until now.
So Xu Lian pulled up little by little, and the bucket was getting closer and closer to the wellhead.
He felt tense all over and his heart was pounding. He was really afraid that a strange head would suddenly pop out of the bucket and smile at him... That would be the end of him.
One inch.
Two inches.
Three inches...
Come up.
Come up.
Xu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. He could already see the water bucket. Fortunately, no strange head popped up, which meant that his judgment was correct.
He exerted force with the hand holding the rope and pulled the bucket out completely.
I saw a green grass lying quietly in the wooden barrel. It was only as small as a finger, but unexpectedly it was so heavy.
Xu Lian walked over and planned to put the Heavenly Snake Grass away.
After taking just two steps, his body began to shake, and he felt a black screen in front of his eyes. He almost fell to the ground, and all the flowers and plants in the yard withered instantly!
"Shit... it's poisonous!"
Xu Lian quickly gathered the energy in his body, expelled the air he had taken in from his body, and held his breath.
Even so, the skin all over his body was rapidly turning into emerald green!
"It's over!"
Xu Lian felt that every inch of his body was in severe pain, as if countless small snakes were biting him.
A voice came from the old well, "Sister, put down the bucket."
And put the head of Nima... Xu Lian cursed in his heart, "Sister ran into an emergency, bye!"
After saying that.
Xu Lian quickly rushed towards Wang Cuiyun's house, broke into her room with a bang, knocked Wang Cuiyun unconscious with a palm, picked her up, climbed over the wall and ran out of the town.
If the toxicity of the Heavenly Snake Grass spreads and poisons Wang Cuiyun to death, he will not be able to explain to Sister Xiya.
As soon as he arrived at the woods outside the town, Xu Lian had already fallen to the ground with his whole body exhausted. He barely focused his mind on the purple jade tablet, "Sir Mining Patrol, help me!"
Now he had to believe what Shen Jingbing said in the old well!
I am really not bragging. The weeds were simply contaminated with the scent of its sister and turned into this horrible and poisonous thing. It can be seen that its sister is really a terrible snake demon, and it must also be a centipede demon of great origin.
It was all Xu Lian's fault for being too careless, or rather, for ignoring the huge gap in their cultivation levels. If a terrifying demon like this leaked even a little bit of information, it would be enough to poison him.
