Jiang Lin lied to both of them.
It's not that the white fox got some kind of opportunity, but after he came into this body, the Nine Spirit Technique directly transformed this demon body.
His current strength is far more than just his transformation.
Qingluo and the others were all in the space. However, Jiang Lin considered that the three monsters had always depended on each other, and if many powerful monsters suddenly appeared around him, Baishe and the others would definitely be suspicious, so he asked them to wait.
Qingluo and the others didn't feel aggrieved at all: the Emerald Space was a good place and they loved staying in it.
Anyway, not coming out won’t hinder my communication with Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin's transformation seemed to have stimulated the green and white snakes.
Not to mention the diligent White Snake, even the lazy Xiaoqing became serious. She stopped catching birds in the woods and practiced seriously with the White Snake every day.
After all, after Jiang Lin transformed, he displayed some magical powers. Who wouldn’t be envious
The White Snake would disappear for a few days every once in a while. Jiang Lin and Xiao Qing both knew that she was going to Donghua Town to visit her benefactor.
Every time she went there, she would bring some things with her, sometimes small sweet and sour fruits from the mountains, sometimes some medicinal herbs that grew in steep places and were difficult to pick.
Xu Xuan was a very smart man. After encountering this kind of thing a few times, he realized that something was wrong.
He paid close attention and soon found the trace of the white snake.
The White Snake fled back to Donghua Mountain in a panic.
"I was so scared." She hissed, still in shock, "He suddenly appeared and caught me red-handed!"
"And then?" Xiaoqing listened with great interest.
"Then I ran away."
The white snake was a little worried: "Although my benefactor is not afraid of snakes, if he knew that I would repay him, he might be scared."
Having said that, not long after, she couldn't help but quietly slip down the mountain.
One day later, the white snake came back happily:
"I met my benefactor. He still remembered me and asked me if I was the injured white snake that day. He also thanked me for my gift!"
Xu Xuan was indeed extraordinary. When he saw that the white snake was so miraculous and even knew how to repay his gratitude, he did not feel afraid but very happy instead.
Jiang Lin looked around Donghua Mountain and thought that the scenery was beautiful and the spiritual energy was abundant, making it a good place to live. He also wanted to see what happened next between White Snake and Xu Xuan, so he simply bought a house in Donghua Mountain and settled down there.
He went to see Xu Xuan.
He was indeed a gentle and elegant scholar, kind to everyone, upright and not pedantic.
He can now see some patients with simple illnesses on his own, and if he encounters a patient who is too poor to afford the consultation fee, he will waive the consultation fee if possible.
The White Snake got along very happily with him.
After knowing that her benefactor was not afraid of rejecting her, she became bolder and often went to see him openly.
Xu Xuan's family was well-off. Although he lived with his parents, he had his own separate courtyard with several houses and a little servant to serve him.
When he was not seeing patients and had free time, he would ask his servant to make a pot of tea, and he would take a medical book or some other book and sit there reading for hours.
At times like this, the book boy usually doesn't bother him.
After going there a few times, White Snake understood this pattern. Knowing that Xu Xuan had no objection, she coiled up on the stone bench in the yard and watched Xu Xuan read. The atmosphere between the man and the snake was surprisingly harmonious.
After doing this a few times, Xu Xuan also found this little snake interesting.
When White Snake went to find him this time, she found that in addition to a pot of tea on the table, there was also a plate of snacks. They were pickled sugar plums with some basil in them, and they tasted particularly good.
When Xu Xuan saw the white snake, he said, "I always feel that you are very spiritual and not an ordinary snake. Do you understand what I am saying? This is the plum I bought on the street. Many people like to eat it. If you can eat it, you can try it."
The white snake swung its tail gently, looked at Xu Xuan a few times, and slowly swam to the table.
Xu Xuan was overjoyed when he saw this.
He tentatively reached out and picked up a plum and placed it in front of the white snake.
The white snake slowly opened its mouth and took it.
tasty!
She swallowed the plum and looked up at Xu Xuan again.
Xu Xuan didn't know that he could see the love and desire from the snake's eyes. He couldn't help laughing and gently pushed the plate over: "I prepared it specially for you. If you like, feel free to eat it."
That day, the White Snake swept through a large plate of sugar plums and returned to Donghua Mountain contentedly.
Later, Xu Xuan really liked her intelligence and began to teach her to read.
It was just a sudden idea for him, and when he read it out for the first time, he felt like a real fool.
But who would have thought that the white snake actually seemed to understand. He wrote a word and read it several times, and the white snake was able to find the same word in the book and touch it with the tip of its tail.
Xu Xuan was overjoyed and treated this non-human student extra seriously.
On this day, the White Snake returned to Donghua Mountain.
Because Jiang Lin had already transformed, and he didn't want to wrong himself so he just found a cave and built a large yard in a place with abundant spiritual energy and beautiful environment.
The White Snake and the Green Snake also got some benefits. They each had a place to live in the big house and no longer had to sleep outdoors in the mountains and forests.
When the White Snake entered the room, Jiang Lin had just picked two juicy cabbages from the field.
The first thing he did after building the house was to use magic to create a large fence around the house and enclose a large piece of land for growing vegetables.
The two snakes, Qing and Bai, didn't quite understand why a fox spirit likes farming? At least they both didn't like it.
Xiaoqing also said: "If I could transform, I would definitely go down the mountain immediately. I heard that the human world is very fun."
But now in their eyes, Jiang Lin, who transformed first and seemed to know everything, is a super powerful monster, and everything he does must be justified.
Therefore, in their eyes, farming has also become a form of spiritual practice.
The White Snake excitedly called out to Jiang Lin, and then went to call Xiao Qing over.
"I have learned many words from my benefactor." She said proudly, "I have thought of a name for myself."
"Bai Suzhen!"
She said in an excited tone: "How is it? Does it sound good?"
Jiang Lin nodded: "It's a nice name."
Xiao Qing still shook her head in confusion: "What does it mean?"
The white snake thought for a moment and said, "Su means white, which matches my scales very well. I read a book about the word Zhen, and it has a very beautiful meaning."
"Oh." Xiao Qing seemed to understand, but she said politely, "It sounds very nice!"
When she saw that the white snake had a name, she was very envious and said, "I want a name too."
The White Snake was just about to say, "I'll pick one for you," but then she remembered what Jiang Lin had said before.
She thought for a moment and said, "Then after I learn from my benefactor, I will come back and teach you how to read. Then you can choose your own name."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Why bother? I can teach Xiaoqing."
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing looked at him in surprise: "Can you read?"
Jiang Lin nodded.
"But." Xiaoqing was puzzled, "You have been staying in the mountains all the time, where did you learn it from?"
Jiang Lin made up a story: "After the transformation, I naturally understood many things."
"Does transformation have such benefits?"
Jiang Lin nodded seriously: "Yes, so you should practice hard and strive to transform as soon as possible."
The monsters in the Emerald Space: "..."
The sir has gone bad!
He actually deceived these two innocent little snake demons!
However, Jiang Lin's teaching Xiaoqing to read was settled. Not only Xiaoqing, but the White Snake would not go down the mountain every day. When she was in Donghua Mountain, she also followed Xiaoqing and took classes with Jiang Lin.
One day, Jiang Lin was reading a travelogue when he suddenly exclaimed, "Huh?"
Xiao Qing, who was listening to him reading the travel notes with great concentration, saw him stop and asked, "Brother Jiang Lin, what's wrong?"
The white snake also looked at him in confusion.
Strangely enough, she is older than the white fox. When the three monsters were together before, the white fox and the green snake both called her sister.
But after Jiang Lin transformed, he had a good temper and was not arrogant. He even grew delicious food for them to eat.
But Bai Suzhen was inexplicably afraid of Jiang Lin, and never mentioned anything about asking Jiang Lin to call her sister again.
However, the demon clan has always prioritized the strong. Although Bai Suzhen is a little older than Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin transformed earlier and his cultivation is much stronger.
If seniority is really the basis, Bai Suzhen should respect Jiang Lin first.
Jiang Lin put down the travel notes in his hand and said with a smile: "A guest has arrived."
"guest?"
"It's an acquaintance." Jiang Lin said.
Xu Xuan went out early today with a medicine basket on his back. He planned to go to Donghua Mountain to pick a herb called Cordyceps.
It is said that this grass can bloom very bright and fragrant flowers. Every blooming season, it can attract many butterflies and bees. However, its petals and pollen are highly toxic. Those insects will be poisoned if they get close to it, die around it, and turn into nutrients.
He had been to Donghua Mountain many times, and his family only told him to be careful before letting him go.
However, today was not a smooth day. Carnivorous plants were rare and Xu Xuan searched for a long time without finding any. He walked deeper into the mountains without realizing it. When the sun began to set and he felt hungry, he suddenly realized that it was already late.
He should go down the mountain, otherwise it would be very dangerous to go down the mountain when it gets dark.
But when he suddenly turned back to look for the way home, Xu Xuan realized that he had been concentrating on picking herbs and moving forward without paying attention to the terrain of the mountains.
This place is one I have never been to before.
He could only walk back according to his memory, but the further he walked, the more unfamiliar the place became, and the more remote the mountain road became.
He is lost.
Xu Xuan sighed, broke off a branch and used it as a walking stick, which could also be used to explore the way and protect himself.
But he didn't go out until the sun was half set.
Fortunately, he had not planned to go home today and brought enough dry food.
However, there is a big difference between spending the night in a peaceful area at the foot of the mountain and spending the night on this mountain where there are few people.
There was another fork in the road ahead. Xu Xuan lifted his sore legs and thought that if he still couldn't find a way out this time, he would just find a place to rest.
He took a look and chose the left side between the two forks in the road.
Who would have thought that this small fork in the road, which was littered with dead branches and leaves and barely recognizable as a "road", would become wider and wider after walking on it for a while.
Xu Xuan's eyes lit up and he walked forward quickly.
Finally we walked out of the dense forest and the view in front of us suddenly opened up.
Xu Xuan's eyes widened: There is actually such a place in Donghua Mountain! In front of him was a flat and open area. All the messy trees had been cleared away, leaving only a neatly built fence wall surrounding a spacious and beautiful mansion in the middle.
Looking back not far away, on the steep cliff, a waterfall flows down and converges into a gurgling clear stream.
The scenery is very charming.
