Chapter 0029: Life for Life
I looked at my grandma like that, feeling both weird and scary, but I didn't dare move.
He looked around and did not see He Gu who was chasing after him, nor did he see Long Xia.
I tried to walk over slowly: "Grandma, I'm Long Ling."
"Long Ling, come quickly..." Grandma's head moved left and right like a snake's head.
Wherever she moved her head, the silk snakes on her back that had their bodies entwined into her spine would move in the same direction.
Even grandma's voice, mixed with the hissing sound of the snake, seemed to become muffled.
She seemed to be about to give a kind smile, but the muscles on her face were stiff, as if there were threads buried in her face, pulling at them and squeezing her face out of shape.
I tightly grasped the razor Qin Mipo gave me, slowly spread it out, held it behind my back, and stretched out my hand to grandma: "Grandma, come back with me, I am Long Ling? Your Long Ling..."
Something seemed to flash across grandma's cloudy eyes. The muscles on her face that were stretched into strips began to twitch, and her tongue seemed to be stiff.
Just like the big tongue: "Dragon... spirit..., my dragon..."
My heart ached and I walked over step by step. The black snake jade bracelet on my wrist turned slowly, indicating that Mo Xiu was there.
"Long... Ling..." Grandma tilted her head and looked at me with a little confusion.
Just as I was about to hold grandma's hand, He Gu suddenly jumped out and said, "Don't!"
At the same time, the confusion in grandma's eyes and the tension on her face disappeared instantly.
She suddenly thrust her head towards me, and all the little snakes behind her hissed and instantly came towards me like springing snake ropes, their mouths wide open and hissing.
I held the razor in my right hand and was about to swing it, but when I saw my grandmother's neck in front of me, I turned the razor back.
The black snake jade bracelet on my wrist turned, and Mo Xiu appeared quickly, standing in front of me and pulling me back.
But the snakes in grandma's body seemed to be infinitely long. They instantly wrapped around Mo Xiu's body and bit him hard with their mouths.
At the same time, the snake on the other side reached out and wrapped around my outstretched hand. The snake opened its mouth wide and bit me tightly.
As the fangs penetrated me, I shuddered in pain, but the snake's body continued to pull.
If you want to drag us down, we're going to fall into the grave!
I immediately turned the razor over, and the image of Qin Mipo pulling Niu Er's hair and cutting downwards flashed before my eyes.
He raised his knife and cut off the snake that was wrapped around Mo Xiu's body.
The knife flashed, and the snake's body broke into two pieces, and the snake heads that were biting Mo Xiu were shaken off one after another.
The snake's body was stained with blood, but it still shrank into grandma's body in a flash.
Mo Xiu immediately pulled me back, tapped his fingers lightly, and streaks of lightning spun on the snake on my wrist.
But even after being electrocuted, the snakes still held on tightly and refused to let go.
I turned the knife over and cut the snakes one by one.
At the same time, He Gu threw a piece of talisman paper over.
There was a flash of thunder, and all the snakes shrank back immediately.
But grandma was standing at the edge of the grave and was about to fall in, so He Gu jumped over and grabbed her.
But as soon as they touched grandma, snakes started to emerge from her back, baring their teeth and biting people.
I didn't care about the snake head still biting my body. I pulled out the net, covered my grandma, and pulled her back.
“Long Ling…” Grandma was covered in the net, still grinning at me: “You can’t escape, come quickly! Come quickly!”
Mo Xiu snorted coldly and waved his sleeves at grandma. Grandma seemed to be in pain and groaned.
But she stared at Mo Xiu and said viciously: "You are dead, dead! You have protected her for a lifetime, and you can protect her for the rest of her life! She is mine, mine!"
Mo Xiu's face darkened and he swung his long sleeves directly at grandma.
Grandma groaned and fell limply into the net.
He Gu then took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the ground, and tore open his Taoist robe.
I saw two small snakes biting his arms. They looked as if they had been torn apart alive . The fangs on the snakes' heads had bitten deeply into the flesh, and the whole arm was blue-black in color.
Mo Xiu reached out, pinched the snake's head, and with a little force, he took the snake's head out.
I looked at my grandmother in the net and turned my head to look to the side.
"Long Xia and Liu Longting are not here. They are also trying to find a way to escape from the control of the snake coffin." Mo Xiu took my hand and pinched the snake heads that were bitten on my hand off one by one.
The snake heads were biting my arm, but they were not dead at all. A small half of their bodies were still swinging around. Bright red blood stained my arm from the broken ends, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Mo Xiu directed the water to rinse my arms clean.
He Gu on the side took out a pill and handed it to me: "Hundred Poison Pill, can clear all poisons. One pill for internal use, one for external application."
This is really the rule in Taoism!
I took the pill and put it in my mouth. Mo Xiu pinched another pill, crushed it into powder, and put it on my arm.
"This is just a silk snake entering the body, how powerful must the snake lady be?" He Gu sat cross-legged, seemingly resting, or meditating.
Looking at the grandmother who was caught in the net, he asked, "What are you going to do about this?"
I watched Mo Xiu sprinkle the powder on the wound finely. The powder immediately turned black as it fell on the wound. It was completely useless.
Mo Xiu's face seemed to be gloomy, but he still sprinkled all the powder on it, then pulled off his sleeves: "Take it back first."
"I chased her all the way and caught up with her halfway once. As soon as I tried to stop her, I was bitten. Besides, she is immune to thunder and is not afraid of talisman fire. What can I do?" He Gu's voice was still heavy.
She turned to look at me and said, "The silk snake has entered her brain. She may have lost consciousness. It is better to burn her directly with the talisman fire."
I looked at the grandma in the net and shook my head: "Take her back first."
He Gu's face turned cold: "Long Ling, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. The people have done nothing wrong, killing them to eliminate future troubles is also a kind of mercy. If your grandmother knew that you have become like this..."
I turned my head to look at He Gu and said coldly, "What if there's more than one? What if my grandma is not the only one like this?"
"All the older generation who stayed in Huilong Village have died, but those who were outside have not come back to deal with the aftermath, and no one has gone to clean up the bodies. Don't you find it strange?" I looked at He Gu.
He said in a deep voice: "There are a total of 58 households in Huilong Village. The older generation who stayed behind, including my grandmother, make a total of 106 people. There are still 217 people outside. I counted them on the roster."
"If these people are controlled by Long Xia, should they all be eliminated to prevent future troubles?" I looked at He Gu with a serious look.
He said in a cold voice: "What have the common people done to me? Just because of a few words from that so-called God of Heaven, I must die! Everyone in Huilong Village must die!"
He Gu wanted to say something else, but Mo Xiu coughed softly and he immediately took it back.
I found a raincoat from under the seat of the electric scooter, wrapped up grandma and the net, and also used a car cleaning rag to wrap up the snake head that fell on the ground.
I tied my grandma to me with a belt and went to Qin Mipo's house.
Mo Xiu directly transformed into a black snake jade bracelet and wrapped it around my wrist, still silent.
When we arrived at Qin Mi's mother-in-law's house, I don't know where I got the strength from, but I just carried my grandmother back to the room.
Qin Mipo was burning mugwort again. She was almost choking to death, and the room was filled with thick smoke and the smell of mugwort.
I took grandma out of the net and examined her back carefully.
Once the silk snake enters the body, not even a trace can be seen.
I put my hand on the side of my spine. As soon as I applied force, the silk snake inside immediately began to twist, and a look of pain appeared on my grandmother's face.
I pulled the quilt to cover my grandma, and fetched some water to wipe her body. As she wiped, water droplets dripped onto her back, and I quickly wiped them off with a towel.
Qin Mipo carried the brazier and placed it on the bedside: "You still want to save her, is it because she is your only relative, or do you want to get something out of her?"
The smell of mugwort mixed with cigarette smoke made my throat itchy. I wiped my grandma's body clean and helped her put on her clothes.
Looking at Qin Mipo, he said, "What do you think I should do? Before this, I was still preparing for the college entrance examination , and then overnight...it became like this? My parents just left..."
Mo Xiu obviously also had some resentment towards Huilong Village and was unwilling to help; the same went for Qin Mipo.
I could watch so many people in Huilong Village being killed by Long Xia, but I still couldn't get over watching my grandmother being burned to death.
I carried the basin out, poured out the water, sat on a small stool under the eaves, took out the snake heads I had picked up, put them aside, and looked at them while moving them with a razor.
He Gu walked back slowly, took a look at the snake heads, and went straight into the house.
Maybe it was because I had been sitting for a while, my body slowly started to heat up.
I quickly collected the snake heads and prepared to watch them slowly, trying to find a way to control them.
Since Mo Xiu and Qin Mipo refused to help, I sold the house in town and asked someone to help.
Sitting in the wooden barrel, I carried the rice and poured it in slowly.
But this time, the cool rice pressed against my body did not suppress the restlessness in my heart at all. I felt even more restless, and the place on my arm where I was bitten by the snake seemed to be itchy as well.
My face gradually became hot, and even rubbing it on rice couldn't suppress it.
I exhaled, but when I opened my mouth, a shameful sound came out...
Something seemed to explode in my brain, and I quickly got out of the tub and ran to the faucet to rinse myself with cold water.
The black snake jade bracelet on his wrist turned gently, and Mo Xiu sighed softly in his ear.
He Gu stood aside: "You were poisoned by a snake. The poison has taken root in your body and is getting worse day by day. What's more, you were bitten by a snake today and were poisoned by it. The things in the snake coffin are more vicious than each other. Even if you take a cold shower, you can't suppress them. I can help you..."
He Gu took out a peach wood nail from his bosom, looked at me and said: "If you sacrifice to the snake coffin again, it will only strengthen the demonic power of the snake coffin, and it will be even more uncontrollable in the future."
"I will use a peach wood nail to nail three inches into your spiritual platform. The moment it enters your body, you will die. You won't feel pain." He Gu looked at me.
The voice was extremely calm and serious: "I will take your body back to Wentian Sect and ask Master to help save your grandmother and the people in Huilong Village, including your parents. How about that?"
"I'll use your life in exchange for the lives of your entire family, and even everyone in Huilong Village." He Gu held the peach wood nail and looked at me with stern eyes: "Otherwise, you won't survive tonight under the double poison!"
