Chapter 404 Entrustment
Chapter 404 Entrustment
The villagers unloaded a few bamboos from the bamboo raft and used them as poles, paddling the raft towards the circle formed by the snake corpses.
There was no way to row across directly, so they took down some bamboos, built them into a bamboo ladder, and leaned it against the snake's carcass.
Su Ming: “Climb up.”
After saying that, he came to the bamboo ladder.
Climb up the bamboo ladder and climb over the snake corpse blocking the way.
Then, the village chief and villagers followed behind and climbed over the bamboo ladder.
They believe in the Green Snake King, so they don't have any fear of snakes. Instead, they think that it is a sacred thing, like they are on a pilgrimage.
The players also gritted their teeth and climbed up the bamboo ladder. The cold and slippery touch was so cold that it made their scalps numb. It felt like bugs were crawling all over their bodies, which was extremely uncomfortable.
There were only a few steps to climb, but it seemed so long.
After flipping over the snake's body and falling into the clear water with beautiful scenery inside, Sun Liang felt that he was falling continuously, but he did not feel suffocated. After a long time, or maybe only a few minutes, he finally stopped falling and his feet stepped on the solid ground.
The melodious and soothing sound of the guzheng, accompanied by the sound of reading aloud, echoed in their ears.
In the thatched hut in front of me, a woman in a white dress sat upright with a smile on her face, playing the guzheng, looking quite relaxed.
In another thatched hut, a scholar sat at a desk, holding a book in his hands, reciting with great absorption and concentration.
So, what are we going to do now?
The players wanted to ask Su Ming, but when they saw him just standing there doing nothing, they already knew the answer.
Just be like him and wait.
They also patiently immersed themselves in the sound of the zither and recitation. The pain and torture they had just experienced were slowly soothed, and their hearts calmed down.
The skin of the village chief and the villagers turned green, and green scales were faintly visible.
Under tremendous pressure, their potential was squeezed, and the power of the green snake in their bodies was integrated with them to a higher degree. This form made Qingshan half of their home ground, making them more suitable for survival in Qingshan. The name of Qingshan people was more appropriate for them.
But the price is that their vitality has been greatly squeezed, their hair has turned whiter, and their skin has begun to have more wrinkles. The oldest village chief among them can already feel that his time is up and he is in his last state of vitality. Now he is holding on with the last breath in his heart and may die at any time.
However, for them who have long since put life and death aside, this doesn't matter at all.
It doesn't matter whether you die or not, what matters is how you die. As long as you can splatter that evil god with blood, it's worth dying!
The song ended. The woman in the white dress said softly, "I was so obsessed that I ended up causing such bad consequences. Not only did I harm myself and my husband, but I also implicated Sister Qingshe. I deserved it, but Sister Qingshe suffered."
She paused and said, "She is in a very bad condition now. Her body is gone, and her soul is trapped in the green mountains. If we can help her soul escape, there may be a glimmer of hope."
"What? You mean, Green Snake King is still alive?" The village chief and the villagers were extremely excited. This was great news to them. If Green Snake King could be resurrected, there would still be hope. Qingshan might really be able to regain its former glory!
The woman in the white dress replied, "She is indeed dead, but there is still a possibility of resurrection. Currently, the prerequisite is that there are enough opportunities."
The village chief's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Just tell me, is there anything we can do?"
The woman in the white dress continued, "What you need to do is to find the soul of the Green Snake Lord, and then bring my body to her. Perhaps this way, she can revive. Qingshan is still her territory after all. As long as you can do this, you can follow her arrangements for the rest."
"Qingshan is so big, where should we go to find the soul of Green Snake Lord? If we look for it aimlessly, it will be no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. The minions of the evil god are already searching for us. It is very likely that we will die in their hands before we find the soul of Green Snake Lord."
Now, the Qingshan Mountains are full of evil gods' messengers and evil gods' eyes. In addition, the villages will also cooperate with them to deal with them. They are surrounded by enemies on all sides.
The worse result is that if the evil gods knew that they were looking for the soul of the Green Snake King, they might attack him, and this opportunity that came with great difficulty would be wasted in their hands.
The village chief and villagers felt quite pressured as such a crucial task was placed on them, fearing that they would mess things up.
The woman in the white dress continued, "If I'm not mistaken, there are only three places where the Green Snake's spirit can be. The most likely place is the Green Snake Cave. That was where Sister Green Snake practiced before. She has made some arrangements there, and there may be a way to place the spirit. However, this is also the most dangerous place, because the Green Snake's body is likely here. In addition, there may be other means used by the evil god."
"In addition, the Qinglong Terrace east of Qingshan is also of great significance to Sister Qingshe. It may also be the place where her soul rests. In the southeast, there is a dragon-locking tower. It is rumored that a real dragon was imprisoned here and gradually fell into disrepair after death. In addition, there is a hanging spring waterfall with a clear spring in it. The spring water has the effect of warming the soul..."
"Well, according to my speculation, there are only four possible places where Sister Green Snake's spirit is dormant. You can go to the other three places first, and then go to the Green Snake Cave. Otherwise, if there is no spirit in the Green Snake Cave, you are likely to die there. Do you understand?"
The village chief and the villagers looked at each other with unhappy expressions on their faces: "The problem now is that no matter whether it is the Green Snake Cave, the Green Dragon Terrace, the Dragon Locking Tower, or the Hanging Spring Waterfall, we don't know where they are!"
If you only know four place names, it is still very difficult to find the place. After all, there is no map navigation here. Just search for the place you know, and when you find it, just follow the pointer to find it.
However, there is no navigation software here, so it is impossible to ask the villagers.
This question stumped the woman in the white dress: "Um, what should I say?"
Su Ming: "No need to say, I know where these places are. Don't worry, we will do a good job."
The woman in the white dress nodded: "That's good. In that case, I'll leave the rest to you. My husband and I will go first and escape from this endless sea of suffering."
As she spoke, an exquisite white bracelet appeared in her hand and flew towards Su Ming. It was a miniature white Ouroboros.
